Chapter 609
Looking at the scouts running in the distance, Ma Dai's mouth was filled with indescribable bitterness.
After following Xiahou Ba for three or four days, Xiahou Ba always avoided him and burned and killed a hundred miles under his nose. Because he knew that his strength was limited and the prime minister's instructions, he did not chase him with all his strength.
While preserving his strength, he also greatly reduced his prestige. The knights who were transferred from various divisions were originally dissatisfied with this transfer, but now seeing him as so weak, he even looked down on the Ma family army.
Even those from the Fufeng Ma family were a little disdainful of him and privately argued that he had gained his current status only by relying on Zhuge Liang. For this reason, he married Ma Chao's daughter Ma Wenshan to Anping King Liu Li. How old is Liu Li's child?
He was a few years younger and still wet his pants. What kind of wife did he marry? This was clearly Ma Dai pleased Zhuge Liang.
Some people also say that Ma Dai was so cowardly that he had lost all the face of the Ma family army. If General Ma Chao led his troops, he would not have made Xiahou Ba so rampant, and Fu Feng would not have suffered such great losses.
Ma Dai felt very uncomfortable when he heard these comments. However, he had been fighting for many years and had long been used to blood and victory or defeat. With the Prime Minister's instructions, he would not have been confused just for a few comments.
He thought it was already good to drive Xiahouba to the marginal area.
But now the situation has changed. Xiahou Ba, who had always thought he would not take the initiative to seek a fight, turned around and killed him, and suddenly forced him to the dead end. Fighting? It must be a fierce battle, and the losses are likely to be very large. Will the Prime Minister?
Satisfied. Not fighting? Will the soldiers who complained in their hearts flee and fail without fighting? If it was just beginning, their morale was not so low, they could still be said to be luring the enemy and retreating temporarily, but after a few days, their emotions have already been
If there is any change, no one will believe him if he says luring the enemy.
While Ma Dai was weighing the pros and cons, the scout in the distance had already rushed to the horse and shouted loudly: "General, Niu Jin led more than 500 cavalry to us."
After hearing this, Ma Dai sighed and pointed at his captain Qian Fei, who was staring at him: "Go and eat Niu Jin as soon as possible."
"Here!" Qian Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he led more than a thousand cavalry from his troops and rushed out.
Ma Dai dared not be negligent and immediately ordered to prepare for the war. He knew very well. Xiahou Ba would never let Niu Jin bring 500 people to harass him. Since he wanted to fight, he would definitely do his best. Niu Jin has two functions: one is
The vanguard rushed to the front and spared no horsepower. He launched an attack at the fastest speed, so that he did not have enough time to prepare. The second is that he could not escape. If he did not dare to fight against five hundred enemy cavalry, how could he, the general, take the future
Soldiers fight? Therefore, even though he knew that Xiahou Ba's move was very insidious, he could only bite the bullet and fight.
Zhuge Liang's main force is still far from him, and he can't count on it. He can only hope that these four thousand cavalry can withstand Xiahou Ba's attack and win with the slight advantage of their troops. If this battle can be won, it will severely damage Xiahou Ba,
Even if the losses are a little bigger, it is worth it.
The two armies were only twenty miles apart. When Ma Dai received the scout report, Niu Jin was already five miles away. So after Ma Dai's order, Qian Fei and his subordinates rushed out of the team and faced Niu Jin.
Encounter.
Seeing the other party's battle flag from afar, Niu Jin and Qian Fei issued an order at the same time.
"Accelerate, charge!" Niu Jin roared loudly: "Don't leave a backup plan, rush straight to our formation and kill Ma Dai!"
"Here!" The knights responded with a loud bang, leaned down, combined the people and horses, kicked the war horses hard, and accelerated again. Most of them were from Longxi people, and their riding and shooting skills were good. After years of fighting, they had long been elite soldiers in a hundred battles.
Although the war horses were not physically strong after a long-distance raid, their exquisite riding skills still raised their speed to the limit.
Qian Fei also issued an order. He stood up in the stirrups, raised the battle axe in his hand, and roared fiercely.
Qian Fei was a subordinate of Zhao Yun, a native of Runan. When he was in his teens, he became a Yellow Turban thief for no reason and belonged to Liu Pi of the Yellow Turban in Runan. When Liu Bei arrived in Yuzhou, Qian Fei was captured by Zhao Yun and later followed Zhao Yun to fight north.
He was promoted to the commander of the commander. With his good martial arts, he was defeated several people in succession and successfully served as one of the four commanders, with thousands of cavalry under his command, even Ma Dai
He didn't dare to underestimate him either.
This was the first tough battle after Ma Dai's subordinates assembled. Qian Fei had the opportunity to start and of course he had to play. He held up the battle axe that followed him for a lifetime, resisted the excitement and issued a series of orders.
"Accelerate the charge, those who block me will die! Get ready to shoot!"
Zhuge Liang attaches great importance to these cavalry. He not only equipped each cavalry with light and sturdy half-body armor, but also equipped them with three consecutive crossbows. On the Mercedes-Benz war horses, pulling a bow and shooting archery is not an easy task, and it can be used.
It is much easier to get a crossbow that is pre-arrowed.
With Qian Fei's order, all the knights picked up the crossbow and pulled the crossbow machine.
"Swoosh!" An arrow flew out, tearing the spring breeze, and whistling to Niu Jin and others.
"Raising the shield--" Niu Jin immediately shouted and ordered when he saw the other party raise his arms, and raised the shield with his left hand, waved the sword with his right hand, and slashed the horse's buttocks with a knife. The war horse hurt and neighed for a long time.
, speed up again.
Before Niu Jin finished speaking, the Shu army's arrow had arrived. An arrow hit the edge of the shield and shot Niu Jin's shoulder blades and penetrated deeply. Niu Jin's body shook on the horse's back, but it didn't
Stopped, but raised the sword high and whistled fiercely: "Accelerate, kill--"
"Kill--" the knights roared, some raised the swords in their hands, some flattened the spears in their hands, some pulled their bows and fought back fiercely. Many people were shot by arrows, and some turned over and fell off their horses.
Then he was trampled to death by the running horse's hooves behind him. Some of his feet were still hung on stirrups and were dragged by war horses. More people grabbed the horse's hair tightly, ignoring the arrows on their bodies, staring at the red eyes
As the enemy approached, hissing and roaring.
"Boom!" The two armies collided, and countless knights fell off their horses. The huge bodies of the war horses collided together, making a deafening roar. The knights flew up from the horse's back and rushed forward with their teeth and claws. Even in mid-air, they still
His eyes widened, looking for the nearest enemy.
"Kill!" Niu Jin's sword flashed, splitting a spear, and the sword bounced back and cut open the knight's neck. The knight screamed and turned over and fell off the horse's horse's horse, then was stepped on his chest by the horse's hooves behind him, screaming with a scream
It stopped abruptly. The spear in his hand flew out and hit the chest of a Wei army war horse. The spear penetrated deeply into the body of the war horse. The horse neighed and came over and fell to the ground with a bang. The knight on the horse's back
I was ready. I took advantage of the horse's speed and got up in the air. With a roar, I avoided the head of an enemy who came. Before he could celebrate his victory, a spear rushed over and pierced his abdomen.
The war horse gallops like the wind, the sword wields like lightning, blood splatters, flesh and blood fly, screams mixed with the roar of the horse's hooves, endlessly.
"Kill!" Qian Fei roared angrily, and the battle axe in his hand slashed and smashed, killing three Wei army knights one after another. His bravery immediately attracted the attention of the Wei army. The Wei army knights adjusted their war horses and bumped into him one after another.
The sword of the mouth was slashing at him, Qian Fei pushed the block with all his might, and was in a mess. A Wei army knight jumped up from the horse and rushed towards Qian Fei. Qian Fei was shocked and swung the battle axe and smashed the knight with an axe.
The head.
The knight roared, closed his arms and grabbed the axe handle tightly. As soon as he grabbed the axe handle, the axe hit his temple firmly. He died, but his hand was still tightly held.
Tight.
Qian Fei quickly let go of the battle axe, and at the same time pulled out the battle knife at his waist, barely blocking the attack of the two knights. Then he was stabbed by two spears and fell off the horse's back, with blood flowing from his thighs.
Inexplicably shocked, his eyes were full of horse legs, and swords were constantly slashing over his head and spears were stabbed. In a moment, he had a few more injuries on his body. If it weren't for the solid armor on his body, he would have been afraid.
Already fell into a pool of blood.
"Captain, get on the horse!" A Shu army knight rushed over, waved his spear, blocked Qian Fei, and won a precious respite for Qian Fei. Qian Fei ran two steps without saying a word, jumped.
A masterless war horse was on, but the knight had already been cut off from his head. The headless corpse was still sitting on the horse's back, and the spear in his hand was still tightly clenched.
Qian Fei was in great pain, roaring loudly, as if crazy.
Niu Jin ran on the horse, and the sword in his hand disappeared after slashing three people in a row. Now he was holding a spear that he had taken from whom he had. The spear flashed, and he picked two people in a row. The arrow in his shoulder was arrowed in his shoulder.
The pole hit his face, disturbing his sight. Niu Jin was furious and reached out to hold the arrow shaft and folded it hard. A sharp pain came, and the arrow shaft was broken by him with a "pop". He threw away the arrow shaft
, clasped the spear again.
The two armies rushed to fight, and in a moment, countless knights were caught.
The Wei army knights won because of their superb cavalry and tacit cooperation. The Shu army knights won because of their well-equipped armor, their crossbows, swords and iron spears all caused great damage to the Wei army knights.
However, although Qian Fei's martial arts are brave, his command ability is not as good as Niu Jin. He was knocked down and almost killed in the face of the army. Although he finally escaped from death, he still lost control of his subordinates. His subordinates were just
With his old habits, he was charging forward, but he forgot the cavalry skills that Ma Dai taught them.
Most of these people are personal guards of various generals. They usually take on protection tasks and go to the battlefield during wartime. As the main generals, they are the winners and losers to determine the situation. However, there are not many such opportunities after all. In terms of the ability to cooperate with large-scale cavalry wars,
They are more than one level worse than the Wei army led by Niu Jin.
Although Niu Jin rushed forward, he had a large number of personal guards around him to protect him, so he had almost no real danger except for being shot by an arrow. He also had enough time to adjust his formation and command his subordinates to
The most advantageous way to fight. Under his command, the Wei army knights lined up in a smooth charge formation, like a sharp spear, piercing the formation of Qian Fei's troops like a bamboo shoot, dividing them into two, greatly reducing them
Cases and casualties.
The two sides rushed towards each other, and after a brief and fierce battle, the two sides broke out from contact. Behind them, there were corpses and blood.
Niu Jin looked back at his subordinates, estimated the casualties, raised his spear, and ordered loudly: "Continue to charge and kill Ma Dai!"
The sound of war drums sounded again.
"Kill Ma Dai!" The knights were so motivated that they shouted loudly, accelerated again, rolled up a fierce storm, and rushed straight to Ma Dai's original formation.
Chapter completed!
