Chapter 354(1/2)

: Sudden Advance

Jiang Wei has never been a reckless person.

Although Shao Pei is skilled in bow and horse, he has never acted violently.

Now, with the dignity of a governor-general, he is the vanguard of the cavalry, which is really a helpless move.

The Qiang people are indeed at war, and they are proud to die in battle. However, the way of fighting is better in valleys than on flat ground, and their morale cannot last long when facing battle.

In the past, when the Qiang was in chaos, Duan Jiong, the late Han Taiwei, proved this point with countless battles.

The Western Qiang are brave and have nothing to fear.

If his nature is victorious, he will chase after him for hundreds of miles like a pack of wolves; if he is defeated, he will turn into a bereaved dog and scatter in panic; and when the outcome of the war is still uncertain, the intention to leave will actually arise on its own!

Today's two thousand Qiang cavalry have been practicing martial arts in the Han Dynasty for a long time, and their character has not changed.

The Wei cavalry were all composed of good sons of the Han family and could be called an elite division. It was impossible for the Han Qiang cavalry to defeat them in one fell swoop. This made Jiang Wei worry that after the first encounter between the two sides, the Qiang cavalry would become demoralized and unable to fight again.

. Therefore, he could only follow the Qiang people's tradition of ruling the roost with force and worshiping the strong, and fought in front of them personally, using his personal bravery to stop them.

"Nothing before!"

He roared fiercely, fighting with his spear on his left and his sword on his right, moving forward indomitably.

It also made Xu Gai's governor, who was driving his horse, look slightly cold.

He was very majestic, with a face full of flesh, and his triangular eyes looked sinister. The weapons in his hands were not the swords and spears commonly used by light cavalry, but the long-handled bones commonly used by armor-breaking cavalry.

Perhaps, he previously served in the armored cavalry.

And very insidiously, he drove his horse after Pao Ze, intending to kill Jiang Wei's horse when Pao Ze crossed paths with Jiang Wei - since he was too brave and difficult to defeat, it was better to retreat and let him fall.

The war horses were trampled into minced meat!

Jiang Wei was suddenly unaware of this.

He was shouting and fighting fiercely, concentrating on blocking the sudden swords and spears and looking for openings to counterattack.

When he once again used his spear to deflect the flat blade, the military governor saw the opportunity, rounded the long handle, and struck the forelimb of his horse like a thunderbolt.

Jiang Wei caught it from the corner of his eye, so his pupils contracted sharply in an instant.

At this time, his old strength had gone and new strength had not yet emerged. Moreover, the enemy was attacking a war horse, and he could not let the war horse get out of the way.

"Hey!"

In his desperation, he had no time to think, and he didn't know where the strength came from. He instinctively placed the spear horizontally outside the forelimb of the front horse, and struggled to lift it up.

"Crack!"

The moment the spear touched the bone of the long handle, there was a breaking sound from the spear shaft.

Countless tiny sawdust fragments flew everywhere, piercing deeply into the leather on his forearm and the back of his hand, with little blood streaks reflecting the bright red flowing from the cracked tiger's mouth.

This superficial injury looks horrific, but is actually just a flesh wound.

The injury was even more serious. When his body shook due to the force of the spear in his hand, there was a burst of blood in his abdomen and chest rushing straight to his throat, which was extremely sweet. He gritted his teeth and swallowed hard several times before finally

Not a single squirt came out.

Fortunately, the iron bone was deflected due to the mismatch between the two sides, and it narrowly missed the horse's neck.

The strong wind made it neigh.

However, as a heavy-numbered general, his mount was indeed an extremely powerful horse. When he was frightened and neighed, it did not cause him to stumble in panic or cause his center of gravity to become unstable.

When the commander-in-chief of the Wei Army looked back, there was a hint of regret in his cold eyes.

The cavalry galloping into battle has only one chance to attack when the horses pass by each other. Even if he is unwilling, he will have no chance to attack again.

However, Jiang Wei, who was still being led forward by his war horse, did not escape danger.

In his eyes, he once again saw several spear-wielding cavalry approaching him head-on. Several matte spear tips intertwined in front of him to form a combined attack. Without three heads and six arms, it seemed impossible to block them all no matter what.

.

But Jiang Wei looked calm.

This kind of combined attack technique of cavalry and soldiers was no stranger to him.

He once again stabilized his body on the horse's back, suddenly exerted force and smashed the broken spear out of his hand.

The Wei cavalrymen who were rushing towards him had no idea that Jiang Wei would throw the spear, and because they were too close to avoid it, they were hit directly in the face by the broken spear and rolled off their horses with a scream.

Moreover, when he got off the horse, he followed his instinct and held on to the horse's reins, causing the horse to stumble and fly out diagonally, tripping and knocking down the other two riders following him.

nice!

A broken spear actually resolved the flanking attack on the left!

The only attack left on the right was easy for Jiang Wei.

With one hand free to grab the reins of the dead horse, he used the ring-head knife in his right hand to deflect the first spear that was thrust at him, and he also used the opportunity to relieve his strength to lie on his back directly on the horse's back, avoiding the second spear.

Spear tip.

The hand holding the sword hanging down under the horse's belly was holding the handle of the sword lightly. When passing by the third cavalryman, Wei, he first retracted his elbow and then used his arm to stab the enemy's horse in the belly.

Go and withdraw instantly.

After letting Wei Qi's war horse run out from behind seven or eight horses, Fang fell to the ground whining.

At this point, all the personal guards sent by Xu Gai to besiege and kill Jiang Wei had already passed by on the wrong horse!

In other words, Jiang Wei had already broken into the rear of the Wei cavalry formation, and his eyes could vaguely see the empty desert behind him through the sparse cracks among the Wei cavalry.

Killing through the enemy formation, staining his robes with blood, he did it by taking the lead.

Therefore, he casually wiped his blood-spattered face, raised the ring-headed knife high, and roared loudly with all the rage in his heart, "Oh~~ah!"

There were only a few responses from behind him.

But the victory comes one after another.

As more and more Qiang cavalry followed them and killed the enemy, the response began to shake the mountains and rivers.

"Oh~~ha!"

"Oh~~~~ha!"

The high-spirited whistles swear that these Qiang cavalry can fight again!

The general's bravery made their blood boil and their confidence high, making them believe that they could still penetrate the enemy's formation the next time they charge, and the next time as well.

However, Jiang Wei ordered to break off the battle.

When Xu Gai led the Wei cavalry to make a detour and return to fight again, they discovered that the Han army's Qiang cavalry did not detour, but drove away, turning into small black dots on the horizon.

Are the Qiang and Hu people unable to fight evil again?

Or could it be that Jiang Wei, the rebel general, saw that the casualties were almost the same and did not dare to harm each other anymore?

After driving to the devastated place where the two armies had just charged and fought, Xu Gai quickly decided that it was the second possibility.

Just now, about three to four hundred cavalry were killed on both sides, but the Wei army could afford it but the Han army could not. If Jiang Wei had destroyed all the Han cavalry here, Wuwei County would have been reduced to the left of the Wei cavalry and the southern Xiongnu.

Liu Bao's paradise for riding.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Wei State has been established for a long time. In terms of long-term combat, the Han and Qiang cavalry are incomparable.

If the battle continues, the war will definitely end with the defeat of the Han army!

"Speed ​​up! Chase!"

Xu Gai, who was thinking a lot for a moment, immediately ordered, "The victory is close at hand, all officers and men must work hard!"

This also made all the Wei cavalrymen beam with joy, and they rushed after him like thunder.

Indeed, they were excited.

Because the direction Jiang Wei left happened to be the way Fei Yao's troops came.

Let me ask, when the Han army's Qiang cavalry met Fei Yao's tribe, and they came in tandem to attack, would the success of the victory be less?

But what they didn't expect was that Jiang Wei's departure from the battle was not a desperate attempt to die.

Instead, he went to attack Fei Yao's tribe together with Zhao Guang and Zhang Bao!

The rear commanded by General Fei Yao of the Wei Dynasty was the target of heavy damage by the Han army. No matter the official position or the number of cavalry commanded by the commander, it was not comparable to Xu Gai's front.

Two flowers bloom, one on each side.

But he said that Fei Yao was overjoyed when he received the message from the former army scout Ming Di, and urged three thousand cavalry to gallop outflank him.

But after about two or three miles of galloping, something unexpected happened!

"Oh~~ha!"

"Oh~~~~ha!"

Accompanied by thunderous charging whistles, a cavalry force suddenly rushed out of the vast and withered reed marsh on the Lushui tributary!

They came diagonally towards his rear team, intending to cut through the middle of his array!
