Five hundred and eleven empty city plan

At noon, the wind and sand grew stronger, blowing the cool sky to the west, and the sky was as dark as dried paper after being soaked in water.

In the rolling sand, Xu Da led 30,000 cavalry in front, Shi Wansui led 20,000 infantry behind, and arrived at Wuwei City after a half-day rapid march. Looking at the city gate wide open, the flag died down, and the silent and somewhat strange city, but he didn't dare to enter the city rashly.

"Array!"

Xu Da put a green horse under his crotch, carried a black gold hook sickle in his hand, and reined in the reins about a mile away from the south gate of Wuwei City, and shouted.

With Xu Da's order, 30,000 cavalrymen stopped their horses one after another, holding spears in their hands, arranged in an orderly and consistent manner, and did not have chaos because of the chaos of people and horses, showing the command level of a top general.

"Where is Xu Qi?" Xu Dalema shouted, "I order you to lead a few entourages into the city to check on it and report the situation quickly!" ”

Facing the empty city, the story of Zhuge Liang playing the piano to scare off Sima Yi's 100,000 male soldiers was not repeated. Xu Da was not so frightened that he turned around and fled, nor did he rush into the city, but ordered his clan brother to lead his troops into the city to spy on it.

"No!"

Xu Qi agreed, and the horse carried the axe and shouted "Come with me", accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves, leading more than ten horsemen to gallop into Wuwei City.

Although the wind and sand inside the city are much smaller than those outside, the gloomy sky makes Wuwei City look very weird. The doors of the houses were closed, the windows of every house were closed, and there was not a single pedestrian in the streets, except for the occasional flash of wild cats or dogs.

"Straight lady thief, the Xiliang soldiers have all run away, is it possible that the people of Wuwei have also run away?"

I rode my horse down the streets and alleys for two or three miles. I didn't even see a figure, which made Xu Qi and his party feel inexplicably depressed. scolded themselves one by one.

Stopping in front of a house, Xu Qi shouted to the entourage behind him: "Fan Da." Go into the courtyard and ask, I don't believe that there is no one in the huge city? ”

"No!"

A sturdy knight turned over and dismounted, drew his saber from his waist, kicked open the courtyard gate, and cautiously entered the courtyard. It's just that after a long time, he didn't come out, and no matter how much Xu Qi greeted, he didn't respond.

"Hmm...... What the hell is it? Xu Qi finally couldn't hold back his temperament and turned over and dismounted. "Brothers, follow me into the courtyard and investigate!" ”

With a "bang", the courtyard gate was kicked to the ground, and a group of five or six people rushed into the courtyard brandishing knives and guns, shouting in unison: "Is there anyone?" Fan Da, where did your mother go? ”

Qin Liangyu, who had been in ambush for a long time, suddenly stood up on the roof, bent his bow and arrows and shot at Xu Qi, and at the same time shouted "Release the arrow!" ”

With Qin Liangyu's order, arrows suddenly burst out around the courtyard, and at the same time that Qin Liangyu's arrow pierced Xu Qi's throat, the rain of arrows also shot several other followers into hedgehogs.

The five or six soldiers waiting outside were shocked. Turning the horse to leave, Ma Yunluo led the troops to kill from both sides of the street and block the road, and shouted "Get off the horse and avoid death!" ”

These Luoyang troops were forced to have no choice but to turn over, dismount, disarm and surrender. But he did not escape the doom of death. was shot by a burst of arrows from the Xiliang army, and they were killed one after another.

Qin Liangyu, who was dressed in silver armor and covered with a white robe, had a grim face. The court's subordinates ordered: "Dispose of the corpses and blood stains, and collect the horses and confiscate the army." Pick up all the arrows, we have fewer and fewer crossbow arrows. Use sparingly. Continue to hide and wear down the enemy until they run out of patience! ”

Hundreds of elite Xiliang soldiers agreed, took the captured war horses away to fill the army, cleaned up the arrows in the yard, threw the corpses into the dry well, and wiped the blood stains clean. After a while, the streets and alleys regained their previous mysteries.

The wind and sand continued to blow non-stop, blowing Xu Dajun's banner hunting. Tens of thousands of horses waited in a queue for more than an hour, and gradually became impatient. They began to flick their tails, sneeze, and hiss.

Xu Da's face was as pale as frost, and he sent a team into the city again to investigate, but he still didn't go back with meat buns and dogs. And the tens of thousands of horses became more and more impatient, after all, the livestock could not keep in line for as long as the soldiers, and when they were hungry and thirsty, they began to stir.

"Don't mess up the order, take turns feeding the horses!" Xu Da's face was as pale as frost, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Whoever dares to mess up the order will be dealt with by military law!" ”

After Xu Da's order, some low-level officers began to command their cavalry to take turns to withdraw from the array and go to the rear of the team to feed the horses to eat grass and drink. The rest continued to stand by in case the Xiliang soldiers suddenly came out of the city.

When Xu Da was thinking about countermeasures, the 20,000 infantry led by Shi Wansui was late. In the rear of the cavalry, Shi Wansui took a few people to look for Xu Da, "Why didn't Xu Tiande enter the city for a long time?" ”

Xu Da pointed to the silent and somewhat weird Wuwei City: "The city gate is wide open, and there is no one quietly seen, just afraid that I will be ambushed by entering the city rashly." I sent two teams into the city to spy in a row, but there was no return, like a mud cow entering the sea! ”

Shi Wansui's hand has four tricks and eight rings, and the knife is stunted, and the wreckage is still good, and the worm is sticky, and the school coughs and screams, and the ring is burned

"If that's the case, it's great!" Xu Da was overjoyed, he couldn't ask for something so beneficial to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After blurting out a sentence, Shi Wansui regretted it a little, but since he boasted about Haikou, he was unwilling to be a turtle with a shrunken head. He immediately ordered the deputy general to hold down the position in the back, ordered 10,000 foot soldiers himself, and marched into Wuwei City, searching for traces of the Xiliang Army along the streets and alleys. Since the team that went into the city to spy has not returned, there is definitely something greasy in it, so Shi Wansui has to be cautious.

"Give me a careful search to see where the Xiliang Army is hiding?" Shi Wansui raised his knife to suppress the formation, and loudly urged his subordinates to search.

Suddenly, a melodious horn sounded from a certain horn, soaring into the sky, and in an instant the horns whimpered in all directions, responding to each other. The Xiliang cavalry, who had been hiding in all corners, shouted and killed at the same time, and shot at the Luoyang army. The sound of horses' hooves was like raging waves, and the trembling earth seemed to shake.

Ma Teng has ruled in Xiliang for many years, and he has long expected that there will be a day of street fighting, and he has planned the streets and alleys of Wuwei many years ago. Under Ma Teng's mandatory requirements, the streets and alleys of Wuwei are nearly ten zhang wide, and they can almost accommodate more than a dozen war horses galloping in formation; The narrowest alleys are also more than five zhang, and they extend in all directions, connecting with each other, like a labyrinth.

"Kill, kill Luoyang dog!"

In the midst of the chaos, Ma Dai carried the Qiushui Yanling knife in his hand, and led the five thousand Xiliang iron horsemen to take the lead, and launched an attack on the Luoyang army led by Shi Wansui along the streets and alleys. Wherever the horse's hooves went, the swords and spears stabbed, and the Luoyang army that killed them could not resist and retreated.

"Not good, there is an ambush, withdraw the troops!"

Unexpectedly, the Xiliang soldiers were killed all at once, surging like a tide. Shi Wansui was taken aback, raised his knife to suppress the position, and ordered the front team to change to the back team, and the back team to change to the front team, and quickly retreated outside the city, and at the same time sent a signal for help to Xu Da outside the city.

Seeing Ma Dai clashing left and right with a big knife in his hand, and the side that killed him lost his armor, Shi Wansui was furious, and he came to fight in person: "The thief will be rampant, can you know Shi Wansui?" ”

"I care if you live a thousand years old, and when you meet me, Ma Dai promises to turn you into a lonely ghost!" Ma Dai patted the horse and danced the knife and killed Shi Wanzai.

After only a dozen rounds, Ma Dai gradually lost his strength, and he knew that this general was strong in martial arts. When the left and right sides were stumbling, Ma Yunluo slapped his horse and killed, waved his gun to join the war group, and the history of the double war was long lived.

Shi Wansui was able to defeat one against two and gain the upper hand, but the infantry under his command could not block the powerful impact of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and those who were killed retreated. Facing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry that was crushed by the tide, Shi Wansui had to fight and retreat.

The Luoyang army had just retreated to a cross street and alley, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves on the left and right, Ma Tie and Ma Xiu brothers each led three thousand iron cavalry to kill from the streets and alleys on the east and west sides, and Qin Liangyu also led three thousand white pole soldiers and three thousand Xiliang iron cavalry under his command to intercept Shi Wansui's retreat, and surrounded Shi Wansui's army on all sides, killing until the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were all over the alley.

Hearing the sound of killing in Wuwei City, Xu Da was taken aback, made a move with a spear, and ordered to enter the city to rescue Shi Wansui: "It's not good, there is really an ambush by the main force of the Xiliang Army in the city, and the people and horses who went to Anding before were only afraid of using the sound to attack the west!" ”

Although Zhu Yuanzhang and Yang Su do not have a good relationship, this critical moment is not the time to calculate each other, and Xu Da can still distinguish which is more important. On the one hand, he sent scouts to chase Yang Lin, telling him not to pursue the Xiliang army that went east; On the one hand, he raised his gun and rode his horse, led his troops to charge towards Wuwei City, and rescued Shi Wansui, who was ambushed.

"Jin Ma Chao is here, and today I will let you and others know the prestige of my Xiliang Lancers!"

With a bang, suddenly a Xiliang iron cavalry of 5,000 people came out from the west gate of Wuwei City, and all the red war horses under their crotches galloped together, like a prairie fire.

"Ding-dong...... Ma Chao's special attribute 'Hurricane' broke out, and the discipline of the subordinate unit increased, the riding skill increased, and the movement ability increased. Ma Chao's command rate +4, force +5, the current command value has increased to 97, and the force value has increased to 107! Liu Wei, who had just arrived in Jiangxia, received a prompt from the system.

Ma Chao held the tip of the dragon horse in his palm, and the crotch was fiery and red, leading the five thousand Xiliang iron cavalry to rush straight to the cavalry led by Xu Da, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they were about to fight together. Xu Da clenched the spear in his hand, not daring to slack off. In this land of Xiliang, the prestige of the Ma family cavalry is by no means in vain!

The two cavalry regiments swept across the mountain, like two floods hedging, and seeing that they were about to collide together, Ma Chao shouted violently, "Throw the gun!" ”

"Kill!"

With Ma Chao's order, five thousand Xiliang knights controlled the reins with one hand at the same time, and burst out with a uniform shout, rushing straight into the sky. They threw the special one-zhang long javelin iron lance in their hands with all their strength towards the oncoming Luoyang Army cavalry, like a rain of guns falling from the sky.
