Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1202 How long is the statute of limitations

  Han Sui gave an order, and the large group of troops that had already started up rushed towards the Feiqian camp like a rushing river.

…

  Han Sui shook his head and collected himself. Those pictures and screams suddenly disappeared, and everything was normal.

   Yes, everything works fine.

  Today, we must take revenge, and we must kill more soldiers to take revenge. Han Sui seemed to see the camp in front of him being breached, and the soldiers of Zhengxi screaming under his son's iron hooves, as if he saw countless enemy heads flying in front of his eyes, as if he smelled the strong smell of blood that made him happy.

  Han Sui raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill them!"

  Han Sui's soldiers also shouted together: "Kill! Kill!"

  The roar of galloping horseshoes, accompanied by a roar like thunder, flocked to the front of Fei Qian's camp, and rushed in front of Xu Huang, blowing the few strands of hair on his forehead that were not gathered into the helmet.

"Mountain!"

  Xu Huang drank loudly, and then watched the Qiang cavalry rushing forward half-stand up on their horses, "Shield! Raise the shield!"

  Long arrows shot into the camp like raindrops.

  The sword and shield hand in the front row held up the shield, and the arrows fell on the shield. Some of them stabbed obliquely on the shield, and some bounced to the side because of the angle of the shot.

   "Wind! Windy!"

  Following Xu Huang's order, the archers in the camp began to counterattack the Qiang cavalry, and a fierce battle finally began...

A Qiang cavalry horse stepped on a small horse pit and fell to the ground with a neighing sound, but the Qiang man on the horse was lucky not to be crushed under the horse, nor hit a wooden stake or It was a stone, but turned a hollow somersault in the air like gymnasts of later generations, staggered a bit, and landed safely.

"Aha!" The Qiang man couldn't believe he looked up and down his body, and found that there was no damage at all, and even the sword in his hand was still held firmly in the air. !"

   "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

Before waiting for a Qiang man to relax from the feeling of being blessed by the protection of the Aries God, he heard someone shouting loudly behind him. A war horse slammed into the air...

   "Damn it, so many refusals..." Han Sui gritted his teeth and stared at the Zhengxi camp in front of him.

  In the high loess slopes of the Han Dynasty, there were still a lot of woodlands, and there were even a large number of oases in the Western Regions. The ancient Loulan Kingdom had just been established at this time, and lush woodlands and grasslands were still the main colors of this era. Because of this, there is no shortage of wood in Zhengxi Feiqian's camp. In addition to the traps of the chariots, there are also large and small repelling horses...

  The military marquis behind Han Sui is Han Sui's family, and he can be regarded as a relatively close confidant. Seeing the situation in front of him, he couldn't help saying: "General, why didn't you ask the Qiang people to drag these refusal horses away?"

Han Sui raised his saber, pointed at the rejecting horses and said, "Do you see the soil bags next to the supporting posts of the rejecting horses? It must have been hammered into the soil by the Zhengxi soldiers and re-tamped. They want to drag these It's not easy, and it will affect the formation of the charge, plus..."

  Han Sui paused for a moment. Although he tried his best to search around Qishan Mountain, but not many refugees were captured. Therefore, after exhaustion, he could only rely on the Qiang people to fill up the traps for rejecting horses.

"Plus... if you drag and refuse the horse, it will inevitably affect the formation of the charge..." Han Sui continued, "...It's just that I didn't expect that Zhengxi would be stationed in advance and didn't move forward... But it doesn't matter, it's nothing more than It's just a little more time... After the order is passed, the rear army can bury the pot and cook, and it's almost time to eat after breaking the conquest of the West Camp and rejecting horses..."

   Junhou replied, then turned around and gave orders.

  Buying pots for cooking, if it rains, there will be black smoke, and when the black smoke rises to the sky, even though the sky is gloomy today, it can be seen at least ten or twenty miles away...

  Han Sui wiped away the trace of blood remaining at the corner of his mouth, and revealed a cruel smile.

   Battlefield saturation.

   Maybe Han Sui didn't know this word, but it didn't prevent Han Sui from using it proficiently.

In the infantry battle formation, there is a refusal of horses, and then they gather in the formation of refusal of horses to cover each other and cooperate to kill the enemy. The cavalry is involuntarily divided into fragmented and slow pieces in this formation, and then it is easy to be attacked by the infantry. Attack and kill.

Therefore, the only way to break down an infantry formation with repelling horses like this is to use people to pile up, which exceeds the level that the infantry formation can bear, so that the loss of the infantry formation is greater than the replenishment. Once the infantry formation collapses , is the beginning of the cavalry killing.

  The Qiang cavalry is like a tide, advancing seamlessly and advancing step by step. If the front falls down, the back will make up for it. They stepped on the **** corpses, some charged directly with their horses, and some surrounded the infantry battle formation in Zheng Xifei, slashing wildly with their knives.

   In front of Han Sui, Zheng Xifei's hidden formation is a typical three-stage defensive position.

  The first layer is the outermost traps, including large and small traps, antlers and caltrops, and sporadic refusal of horses, mainly to slow down the speed of the cavalry's impact, hinder and divide the cavalry array.

  The second layer is the forward position where infantry and horses are combined to counterattack and kill cavalry.

  The third floor is the outer circle of the camp relying on the car array, with a defense system built by sentry towers and baggage trains, which is also a facility belonging to the innermost circle.

  Basically speaking, traps, antlers, and caltrops, like wooden repelling horses, are mostly disposable items in battle, and once destroyed, they are basically useless. Therefore, the length of time to destroy these defensive equipment has become the most critical point for the victory or defeat of both sides.

  When the offensive line of the Qiang cavalry came into contact with Zhengxi Feiqian's second layer of defense system, they encountered a powerful blow from the Zhengxi soldiers. On the unfolding surface of about 700 meters, the two sides fought repeatedly like a saw.

  ………………

  Fifty miles south of the Feiqian camp, several Qiang scouts climbed up a side hillside, then pushed aside the tree forks and leaves that blocked their view, and looked to the north.

  The gloomy sky has insufficient light, and the farther you go, the harder it is to see clearly. Coupled with the humidity and haze, it is really difficult to see the specific changes in the distance.

   "Look! Where is it!" Several scouts tried their best to distinguish, after all, they saw that the sky in the distance seemed to have some different colors...

   "...That's right, this is indeed black smoke..." The captain of the scout carefully identified for a moment, and indeed confirmed that there was something different in the distance, "Go, go back and report to the young commander!"

  Several sentry scouts hurriedly crawled down the mountain and reported to Ma Chao.

   "Are you sure?" Ma Chao asked again, and then rolled his eyes.

   "Young commander, then we..."

  Ma Chao pondered for a moment, and said: "Send some scouts to go ahead to investigate... For the rest, let's find a place to make a fire and cook..."

   "Young commander, didn't you make an appointment to attack the rear camp of Zhengxi when you saw the black smoke and disrupt it?" asked a Han Sui's chief beside him.

Ma Chao glanced sideways at the head of the village, and said, "Maybe the scouts have misread the weather? What's more, what if the smoke rises while cooking in the west camp? It's better to detect it again. I'll just wait." If this strength is exposed and Zhengxi is prepared in advance, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?"

  The head of the village opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, but seeing that Ma Chao had turned and walked away, he finally clasped his hands and went down to follow the order...

  Ma Chao turned his head slightly, glanced at the head of the village from the corner of his eye, then raised his head, looked at the gloomy sky, and after a long time, he laughed twice and said, "Promise?"

   There is an agreement only when you are alive, and there is a fart agreement if you die!

  Didn't my father also have an agreement with Han Sui back then?

   Can’t be born on the same day in the same year, but want to die on the same day in the same year?

   Heh, promise...

  ………………

  Di people, also known as Banchu Man. It can be said that they were the first batch of mountain soldiers. Except that they were not very good at riding horses, the Di people had almost no shortcomings. They were good at foot combat, and their bows and arrows were not bad. It is famous for 楯, charging into battle.

"My lord!" Several Di people pointed to the marks on the ground and said to Di man Wang Ke, "Look at these horseshoe marks, they are all fresh... and excrement was also found in the grass before... These people did not How long!"

Di Ren Wang Ke held a double-sided battle axe, scratched the tuft of hair on the top of his head, pondered for a long time, and said to the head of the Neiwu clan: "Although we have some conflicts with the Qiang people in this territory, but There is not much enmity... What the Qiang people want is grassland, and most of us are in the mountains, so we can't get along with each other at all, why do these Qiang people want to attack us?"

  Nei Wu Clan Chief said: "Your Majesty, this... I don't understand it either... But why does Your Majesty go out in person? It's just a matter of sending Du Sui to lead the team out..."

  Du Yi is a warrior of the new generation of Di people.

Di Ren Wang Ke shook his head and said, "You don't understand... just because I am the king of Di people, I should stand up and seek justice for our sons... Our sons are few in number, you have counted this journey No, more than ten families died! Forty or fifty people! Who would have any grudges to do this! If I don’t care, who would care?”

  What is a king?

  If you can't provide protection for your subjects, and you can't stand up when your subjects suffer injustice, what kind of king is it?

  Shou Qi King?

  Since he is the king of the Di people, he is naturally duty bound!

  Although the Diren Wang Ke didn't understand many principles, he knew this one very well, so he came here.

   Di Ren Wang Ke swung his double-sided battle axe, watched the imprint on the ground disappear in front of him, and said, "Go! Go after him, and see if that guy has such guts!"

  ………………

  Lidian, on Maji Mountain.

The old man who was originally in the hall was standing on the top of the mountain, and his robe was crackling as the mountain mist blew. Ordinary old people might not be able to stand firmly, but the old man still stood firmly on the rock, It's like merging with the rocks.

   "The great patriarch..." A middle-aged man in black came behind the old man.

   "Excuse me, tell me..." the patriarch looked at the undulating mountains in the distance, and said, "...did we do something wrong back then?"

  Meng Shu also cast his eyes into the distance, and said: "The patriarch, this... I don't know..."

  The patriarch pointed to the mountain in the distance with his stick, and said, "When I was young, I carved a few words on this cliff... Now, it is completely invisible..."

   "..." Meng Shu didn't quite understand what the old patriarch meant, so he didn't answer.

   "It's only been a few decades..." the patriarch murmured.

In the past few decades, even if the stone carvings were so clear back then, they are now either covered by moss or eroded by wind and rain, and there is no trace of them. So after nearly four hundred years, will the obsession engraved in my heart still be the same as it was back then? Ordinary shocking world, firm and unwavering?

   "...This world is too big..." The old patriarch looked up at the sky, "...This world is too small... Excuse me, have you ever thought about going out to have a look?"

   "The chief patriarch?" Meng Shu cupped his hands, not knowing how to answer.

  The old patriarch is almost an old man, how could he not know what Meng Shu was thinking, nodded, and said: "Well, I see... I also thought about it when I was young, this is not a violation of the clan rules..."

  Meng Shu hesitated for a moment, then said: "The patriarch, but... aren't we 'never going out of office'?"

   "Well, yes," the chief patriarch nodded, then turned his head and smiled, and said, "But the person who said this is not you...isn't it..."

   "The patriarch!" Meng Shu was a little surprised.

The patriarch waved his hand and said: "Our ancestors believed that the first emperor would wake up one day and come again, and then he would call us old ministers and go to the battlefield again... But, it has been four hundred years, and the first emperor has slept for too long It's gone... Maybe I forgot how to wake up..."

   "..." Meng Shu opened his eyes wide.

"I'm a bad old man with the loess covered up to my neck. I'm not afraid to see my ancestors after I die. I even want to ask the first emperor if possible..." The patriarch raised his head to the sky, as if sending a message to the sky. Asked, "...the promise of the emperor and ministers in the court back then, four hundred years later, will it still count..."

   "Is it still counting!" The patriarch suddenly raised his arms high and shouted at the sky and the earth.

   "Is it still counting..."

   "Not bad..."

"return…"

  Echoes echoed between the valleys, and finally there was only silence.
