Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1203 Choice on the battlefield

   Ma Chao led the troops away, but Pang De stayed on Han Sui's side. After the first wave of Qiang cavalry offensive was over, it was naturally his turn.

  But the front of General Fei Qian, who was conquering the west, was tougher than Pound imagined, or in other words, stronger and tougher than everyone on Han Sui's side imagined.

  The Qiang people left corpses all over the place, but now, seeing that the team following Pound's forward attack is also gradually consumed and reduced in front of the Western Camp...

   The long-handled war knife used by Pound has some gaps, and blood is dripping all over his body.

   This is the third time he has stepped down.

  Everywhere in front of my eyes is red.

  Blood-red pawns on both sides, blood-red stakes against horses, blood-red soil, and then he saw his own pawns charging forward with various weapons.

  He saw a soldier was shot by a screaming crossbow arrow, and his running body suddenly flew into the air;

  He saw a soldier whose hands had been cut off by a **** saber, howling and screaming in pain on the ground;

  He saw the body of a **** pierced by a spear, and fell on his back, with blood gushing from his chest like a fountain;

He saw a soldier rush forward bravely, and then he chopped down a dozen or so knives in one breath, cutting down an acquaintance in Zhengxi's formation, but was nailed to the ground by a spear stabbed from one side. This soldier also chopped down the Zhengxi soldier who stabbed him to death...

A head drew a dark red arc in the sky, passed over Juma, passed over the corpses all over the ground, spun and jumped among the arrows flying all over the sky, and landed in front of Pound's eyes with blood beads , and rolled to his feet.

   Pound hesitated for a moment, and reached out to hold it up.

This is the head of a Qiang man, who is also a subordinate of Pound, with a big curly beard. He had drank wine with Pound before and raced horses, but now he can only open his **** big face. Mouth, as if still making a shrill scream...

   A shrill scream suddenly sounded around him, and it pierced into Pound's ears!

  Pound was taken aback, and lost his head in a hurry, only to find that it was not the head in his hand that made the sound, but a guard beside him.

  The guard's body fell heavily beside Pound, and the arrows poured from his chest shot out through his body, and the blood soon stained Pound's instep and the Qiang man's head.

This is one of my personal guards, a guard who has been with me for three years. He is very brave. He once led more than ten soldiers to kill nearly a hundred horse thieves, but today he died. An arrow shot and died in front of him.

   Pound watched silently, expressionless.

   This is war.

   There is neither grief nor hatred, only a life-and-death war.

  The head of the Qiang man is lying on the ground at the wound of the guard, with his mouth open as if swallowing hot blood...

"Whizzing!"

   "Spread out!" Pound yelled.

   Another wave of arrows came, and several of his own soldiers were shot down to the ground by the arrows and crossbow bolts.

   Pound didn't understand why Zheng Xifei had so many arrows and crossbows in reserve?

   When he came to Xiliang from Hanzhong, did General Fei Qian of Zhengxi already prepare these ordnance supplies?

"Pang Junhou! Withdraw, withdraw, there are almost no people in front of us, they are all dead, all dead..." A team leader dragged a wounded leg and withdrew from the front line, crying to Pang De in a sad voice road.

  Because of the carrying capacity, the arrows of the Qiang people on their own side are not as dense as before. This has led to the fact that the archers who conquered Xifei have not been suppressed much and can shoot calmly.

   "Let's go, Pang Junhou, retreat..." The team leader couldn't support his body, fell in front of Pound, raised his head and said, "The dead are all from our Ma family...Leave some blood..."

   "You are wounded, go down first..." Pound was silent for a moment, then waved his hand and said, "The general has not paid the gold yet, even if a certain dies here, he cannot retreat!"

   After finishing speaking, he grabbed a shield, shouted, and rushed up!

"Kill!" Pound yelled, kicking away the spear stabbed by Zhengxi's soldiers from the side, and with a backhand knife, he immediately erected the shield in front of him, blocking the incoming arrows, and then strenuously moved forward, Another person was beheaded.

At this moment, a rejecting horse in front of Pound, I don't know if it was not strong before, or it was loosened after being hit by the Qiang cavalry. A dead soldier who conquered the west fell on the rejecting horse and became The last straw that crushed the rejection horse, the rejection horse stake rolled over and smashed towards Pound with several corpses!

Pound couldn't dodge in time, he only had time to raise the shield, when he heard a "boom", the heavy horse-repelling stake hit the shield, his whole body flew into the air, hit the ground heavily, and hit the ground on the back of his head , suddenly dizzy.

   "Pang Junhou!"

The two guards yelled, rushed forward, pushed away the wooden stake that was pressing on Pound's body, dragged him out after talking, one held Pound's head, the other clamped Pound's body With two legs, regardless of the arrows whistling in the sky behind him, he turned around and ran down...

In the groggy state, Pound saw the increasingly gloomy sky, which seemed to have absorbed the blood on the ground and turned extremely dark red. The layers of clouds were like all kinds of twisted and crooked things on the ground. The dead bodies are piled up like a mountain, while I am in the abyss of hell, countless soldiers are fighting, tearing, falling, falling in various postures, falling to the boundless In the boundless darkness.

  ………

  The war horse galloped in the wilderness, and the warm foam was flying with the wind. Gan Feng was riding on the horse, and he could feel the powerful tremor of every muscle of the war horse under his crotch.

  The people in Mengjiazhai have already dispatched, and Gan Feng will rush back as quickly as possible to tell Jia Xu the news so that they can cooperate with each other.

Perhaps it was the killing of a team of scouts that aroused the vigilance of the Xiliang tribes, or Zhenghai, the Xiliang tribes, was about to enter Tianshui County when they were about to enter the range of Tianshui County. cool cavalry.

  Because they were marching, the formation of Xiliang cavalry was very long. When Gan Feng and his small group rushed down from the grassy slope, many Xiliang cavalry were still in a daze and could not react.

It's not that Gan Feng is hot-headed and looking for his own death, but that his small troop originally robbed the time difference. If they hid in the mountains, they might be able to escape the scouts of the Xiliang cavalry. Come out after passing, who knows how long it will take?

   Therefore, it is better to cut through the flanks of the Xiliang cavalry array and return to Jia Xu before the Xiliang cavalry has discovered it!

  In addition to the team of mixed Qiang and Han cavalry in front of him, in Gan Feng's eyes, it is full of flaws, the formation is extremely chaotic, and the flanks are extremely long. When encountering a surprise attack, it may not be able to gather and respond quickly!

  After the panic, someone among the Xiliang cavalry finally reacted and blew the warning horn.

  The horses are galloping!

  Gan Feng felt the tremor of the horse stepping on the ground with every step, and also saw the panic expression in the northwest of Xiliang in front of him, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Your crazy grandpa is here! Let me go!"

  The mount under the crotch leaped vigorously, and its four hooves flew into the air. Carrying Gan Feng, like falling from the sky, it directly crashed into the flank formation of the Xiliang cavalry!

   In the blink of an eye, several Xiliang cavalrymen who were facing Ganfeng fell off their horses amidst the continuous sounds of armor breaking and bone cracking before they could react!

   This sound of armor breaking and bone cracking is very familiar to almost everyone who has been on the battlefield, because this sound actually represents death, just like what is often heard in slaughterhouses.

For Gan Feng, this sound is like an exciting symphony, but for the beheaded Xiliang cavalry, the harsh metal friction, collision, and the sound of breaking the flesh and blood of the armor are so wonderful. It's chilling.

  The screams of people, accompanied by the neighing of war horses, suddenly spread a **** smell that gradually became thicker...

Gan Feng took the lead, and directly ran into the flank of the Xiliang cavalry formation. The horse in his hand spread out, stabbed or smashed, and in a blink of an eye, three Xiliang cavalrymen were picked off their horses. Before the passing Qiang cavalry had time to block, the aorta on the side of the neck was cut off, and blood spurted out, splashing Gan Feng's face, and the whole half of his body was covered in blood!

   Behind Gan Feng, twenty Feixiong troops rushed in!

  The marching array of Xiliang cavalry was long and thin, and suddenly a group of people turned their backs!

But after all, these Xiliang cavalry have also experienced a lot of battles. Although the incident happened suddenly, more than ten cavalry fell down as if swept by a strong wind, and their horses burst into a gallop. Desperately scrolling to the middle, Gan Feng and the others are about to be surrounded!

  Gan Feng right-handed and left-handed, using his legs to control the horse, laughing loudly amidst the flying flesh, suddenly there was nothing in front of his eyes, and the formation of Xiliang cavalry was killed in a blink of an eye!

The Xiliang cavalry at both ends, when Gan Feng broke through the formation, had already spread out the formation while turning around, outflanking the left and right wings. With the sweet wind, the rain of arrows will be splashed here!

   Run and shoot.

   This term, which seems to be extremely powerful in later generations, seems to be considered a rather remarkable skill in many games, but when it comes to lethality, it is actually nothing more than that.

Because in the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of them were unilateral pedals, or leather rope pedals, and there were no high-bridge saddles, so the cavalry arched bows and arrows on horseback, except for those generals who were talented and practiced the day after tomorrow. Characters, most miscellaneous cavalry bows are small, which are worse than infantry bows, basically only 50 to 60% of the strength of infantry archers.

Coupled with the fact that the war horses are galloping non-stop, with ups and downs, it is difficult for an expert who is not extremely proficient to achieve a balanced posture to shoot arrows. Therefore, when these Xiliang cavalry arrows are splashed, it is more of a coverage attack. , It is enough for a fixed infantry battle formation. Anyway, if the shot fails to hit the person in the middle of the infantry battle formation, it may not be sure, but it will go to the side instead, and then win the prize...

A wave of arrows rained down, and the Flying Bear Army, including Gan Feng, were all veterans of cavalry battles, and they didn't panic at all. Some dialed with weapons, and some raised the small cavalry round shields tied to their left arms. , while lowering his figure, he opened the arrow block that might endanger himself and the horse, it seemed so easy.

  Arrows rained down, most of them didn't know where they landed, and few of them hit the target, or hit the riding shield, and submerged shallowly. Or when it landed on the helmet armor, a few sparks splashed out and flew out. Gan Feng led these flying bear troops. Although they were not armored cavalry, they put Gebu horse clothes on their horses before charging into the battle. Given a part of the protection for the horse, even if a feathered arrow pierced through the thick Gebu, it would only penetrate shallowly into the flesh, but it would arouse the horse's ferocity, neighing and speeding up!

In addition, Gan Feng and others were rushing forward again, and many arrows shot from the side and rear either fell powerlessly or lost most of their kinetic energy when they flew to the end. At present, although the Xiliang cavalry's arrows are pouring like rain, they do not have much direct killing effect.

  If you look from the sky at this time, you can see a small group of people like Gan Feng running wildly at the front, and the pierced Xiliang cavalry array is like a pair of giant hands, grabbing at Gan Feng.

   "To the east! To the east!" Gan Feng waved his horse and pointed to the east.

For the terrain in Longxi, Gan Feng and others are not much less familiar with the Xiliang cavalry than the Xiliang cavalry. Apart from other things, just the mountains and valleys that can be used to hide troops, in this area, Gan Feng knows two or three , and Jia Xu and most of the rest of the cavalry were in one of these locations.

Gan Feng couldn't go straight in the direction of Jia Xu's army. Although the hiding place of Jia Xu's army was not bad, it still took time to deploy the army. Therefore, when the hiding place was approaching, Gan Feng would At the risk of turning, it also drove the Xiliang cavalry to change direction...

   "Come here! Follow the crazy grandpa!" Gan Feng yelled, not paying attention to the soldiers and horses surrounded by the right wing of the Xiliang cavalry that were getting closer and closer.

   These silly roe deer are still using bows and arrows?

Although Gan Feng and others made a turn, it meant that the distance between Gan Feng and others and the pawns on the right wing of the Xiliang cavalry was shortened, and the strength of the bow and arrow was relatively stronger, but the Feixiong army was fighting fiercely after all. Those who fought in the formation, how could they be afraid of the arrows shot by these Qiang people among the Xiliang cavalry, not to mention that some of these arrows are bone arrows...

In comparison, those Xiliang men with knives and guns are really the biggest threat to Gan Feng and others. Bow, is it better to take out a knife and gun?

  The speed of the war horse is extremely fast, and when most cavalry pass by, they only have time to make a move. If they are half a minute slower, it may be life and death!

  Gan Feng roared, brandishing his horse and saber, and finally collided with the right wing chasing by Xiliang cavalry!

  At this moment, outside the mountains and forests in the distance, Jia Xu waved his arms. Beside him, teams of Zhengxi cavalry finally rushed out of their hiding places and joined the rolling battle for Longxi!
