Chapter 1958: Thorn Head
Jochitai was the first to rush outside the city, and the barbarian soldiers, who were startled by the sudden attack, also rushed to the gate of the city.
The barbarian cavalry is good at horseback field warfare, and their most training on the grassland is to gallop and slash in the open field.
When they rushed into the city, the space for galloping immediately became smaller, and the streets were so narrow that the barbarian cavalry could not use them at all, and if they were unparalleled warriors in the field, it was really difficult to spread their hands and feet in the narrow space of street fighting.
And the other party has already laid an ambush, everything is planned, the barbarian cavalry was even more caught off guard, in a short period of time, the casualties are not light, hearing that the men and horses are going out of the city, the others do not think much about it, they have withdrawn, a few who are entangled, want to leave but can't get out at all.
Many cavalrymen were not familiar with the terrain of the town at all, and they were running around without a head, and some even reached a dead end, while many of the other side were already lying in ambush on the roof, condescending, some with bows and arrows, and many with arrows, like ghosts, suddenly appeared, and then did not hesitate to shoot any barbarian they could see.
Jochitai blushed and urged his horse to gallop, getting closer and closer to the open gate, not really trying to escape, but wanting to leave the town first, get out of the city and then regroup.
From the moment the other party attacked, he knew that if he continued to stay in the city to fight, the barbarians would inevitably suffer a big loss, since the enemy was ambushed here, he obviously knew himself very well, but he didn't know how many people Jochitai was on the other side, so he naturally had to go out of the city first and figure out the situation before fighting.
Outside the main gate, there were still forty or fifty cavalry guards, who had been ordered by Jochitai to block the exit, but when they heard that something had happened in the city, dozens of soldiers didn't know what to do for a while, and they happened to see Jochitai rushing out first, and immediately dispersed, and someone had already asked loudly: "Jochitai, what's wrong?" ”
Jochitai said with a cold face: "There is an ambush inside, assemble the team, and be careful." ”
He rushed out of the city, and a group of soldiers and horses came out one after another, but Jochitai was commanding outside the city, ordering the cavalry to line up, but he thought in his heart that since the other party was setting up an ambush, it seemed that there were not many troops, otherwise there would be no need to work so hard.
At this moment, I suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly, felt that things were weird, and then I heard a voice from the rear, but this sound was so familiar, it was the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately looked back, not far behind me, it was the hillside, looking up, in the darkness, I soon saw countless black shadows appearing on the hillside, the horse was singing and the wind was Xiaoxiao, and the entire hillside, lined up, was soon covered by dense black shadows.
"It's cavalry!" Someone next to him exclaimed, "It's our people!" ”
Suddenly a large group of cavalry, in the eyes of the barbarian soldiers, of course, it is their own people, after all, the Hexi Qin army does not have a few cavalry at all, but the barbarian cavalry looted everywhere in the land of Hexi, and when they saw the black pressure of a cavalry suddenly appeared on the hillside, the first thing that these barbarian cavalry thought of was naturally the cavalry of other tribes Chaha also arrived at this place.
Some people have already shouted to the hillside: "There is an ambush in the city, which tribe are you from, let's kill these Qin people together." ”
Jochidai looked at the cavalry on the hillside with a twitch of muscles on his face and a hint of fear in his eyes.
The cavalry on the hillside lined up, except for the sound of neighing horses, but no one made a shouting sound, this silence made Jochitai feel furious, his hand holding the knife was bruised, at this time, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from the side, in the dimness, I couldn't see what the situation was over there, but the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth had made Jochitai's heart sink rapidly.
Many barbarian soldiers were still shouting at the hillside, but Jochitai finally shouted: "Shut up, that's not our people, that's the Central Plains!" ”
"Central Plains?" A cavalryman on the side was surprised: "Jochitai, where are there so many cavalry in the Qin country?" ”
Jochitai said hatefully: "They are not Qin soldiers, they are our old acquaintances, have you all forgotten whose hands we were defeated?" ”
The cavalry on the side looked at each other, and one of them couldn't help but say: "It can't be those Northwest Army, right?" ”
These cavalry under the command of Jochitai were recently defeated by the Northwest Army, and it was also the only opponent who made them feel uneasy.
It's just that most people are suspicious, after all, these barbarians know that the Northwest Army is still in Xishan Road, and this is Hexi, Xishan Road is not far from Hexi Road, but it is not close, Yunshan Mansion City and Wuping Mansion City, it is hundreds of miles apart, and now it is the deep winter season, the snow is falling, and it is difficult for the barbarian soldiers to believe that the Northwest Army far away in Xishan will suddenly appear in Hexi.
Jochitai had already said in a deep voice: "Didn't you see that the enemies in ambush in the city, their clothes and armor are all the clothes and armor of the Northwest Army, we have fought with them, and Lao Tzu knows their clothes and armor very well." ”
When the fierce barbarian cavalry heard this, many people's faces immediately changed color.
If it was a barbarian from another tribe, even if he knew that the other party was the Northwest Iron Horse, he might not feel anything, but for the group of Jochitai, the Northwest Iron Horse was like a nightmare.
In the first battle of Qiufengyuan, they not only ended up in the hands of the Northwest Iron Cavalry, but also chased and killed the Northwest Iron Cavalry behind them, and the thousands of men and horses that were lost were all killed by the Northwest Army.
I didn't expect to see each other here in a short period of time.
Jochitai and his soldiers knew that it was the Northwest Iron Cavalry that appeared on the hillside, and they were both resentful and fearful, and the other side was not only a cavalry dispatch, but also a large number of troops.
Jochitai and his cavalry had learned the strength of the other party, and at this time, how not to be surprised when they saw the northwest cavalry appear in front of them.
More than 400 people have escaped from the city, but there are still two or three hundred people who are entangled in the city, and they can't come out for a while, Jochitai knows that in the street battle in the city, there are many auspicious and less, although the northwest cavalry arrives, but it can only fight with the other party outside the city, so that not only can maximize the combat ability of the barbarian cavalry, but also find the opportunity to break through, once trapped in the city, this time I am afraid that I really can't go.
He shouted loudly, these barbarian cavalry under his command, soon lined up outside the city, in the cold night, the war horses snorted, and the barbarian cavalry were all holding scimitars, looking at the northwest army on the hillside in front.
In order to trap the city to death, Jochitai had divided hundreds of soldiers and horses to outflank both sides to blockade it, and it was difficult for the cavalry on both sides to return for a while.
On the hillside, a gray armor general held a spear in his hand, his eyes were cold, looking at the barbarian cavalry that had been lined up under the mountain, suddenly the spear gathered gas, only to hear the sound of "choking" into a piece, all the cavalry on the hillside had already pulled out the saber, the gray armor general did not hesitate, the spear suddenly leaned forward, the armor was sonorous, the neighing of people and horses suddenly entered the ears, and the cavalry on the hillside had already urged the horses out, condescending, and swooping down.
Jochitai saw the opposing cavalry swooping down, shouted loudly, did not hesitate, urged the horse to meet the forward, although the barbarians were afraid of the northwest cavalry, but once on the battlefield, they were still the bravest warriors, suppressed the fear in their hearts, shouted in their mouths, followed Jochitai to the cavalry that swooped down.
The barbarians are fighting in the grassland, but the methods of warfare are lackluster, at most sneak attacks and outflanking can be put on the table, and there are not too many tricks.
Now it is naturally impossible to sneak attack, if you outflank, it is a good thing not to be dumpled by the Northwest Cavalry, where is there a way to outflank the other party, but at this time you can only choose to fight hard with the other party, this is the only way at the moment, and there is no way to do it.
The strength of the Northwest Army is obviously above the barbarians, after the first row of horizontal rows swooped down, from behind the hillside, countless cavalry emerged, but it has been divided into two teams, one left and one right The two wings are scattered, that is obviously to outflank from both sides, although Jochitai found the other party's intentions, but at this moment there is nothing to be done, at this time it is determined that a guess is that this time it really fell into the trap carefully arranged by the Northwest Army, and the other party has many troops in ambush here, and they spent so much effort on the purpose, Of course, it won't just be to knock and knock yourself, it seems that you want to swallow your own team completely.
Jochitai naturally also discovered the gray armor general in the opponent's formation, the gray armor general did not shout, but only made a few movements with the spear in his hand, but the formation of the northwest cavalry was orderly and distinct, like a martial arts master's move calmly but with a distinct rhythm, and like a splashing ink landscape, it was bold but incisive.
The cavalry on both sides are well-trained, when they reach a certain distance, the soldiers on both sides know that if they do not shoot arrows to hurt the enemy at this distance, it is really a waste, the barbarian cavalry can ride and shoot well since childhood, almost everyone is equipped with sabers and longbows, galloping, holding bows and arrows, and the northwest cavalry is not to be outdone, there is still a distance between the two sides, the men and horses have not touched, but the arrows on both sides have been the first to contact.
Feather arrows whimpered in the air like flying locusts, and soon there were screams in the formation on both sides, and the men and horses fell to the ground, the swords and armor were sonorous, and the blood instantly stained the snow on the ground, and a round of arrows passed, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer, almost at the same time, changing bows and knives, waving knives to meet them, people shouting and neighing, but in the blink of an eye, the two torrents collided fiercely together.
The sword light was like a shadow, and the screams were repeated, and the sounds of harmony, screams, crashes, and the mournful neighing of the war horses were instantly intertwined.
When Jochitai was charging, he had already aimed at the gray armor general who was the leader of the other party, the gray armor general of the other party did not look burly, and his body size was far from his own, but he could see that the gray armor general was the leader of the northwest cavalry, and the northwest cavalry launched an attack under his command.
The infighting on the grassland, often the leader is killed, and the dragons have no leader, even if there are many people, they will collapse instantly, Jochitai has such an experience, and he is determined to kill the gray armor general, he knows very well in his heart that if he can't reverse the situation, today's result is only afraid that it will be devastating, even if he fights for his life, he can't let such a result happen.
The chaotic army fought and was tragic and bloody.
Jochitai swung his knife to cut a path, and he was already approaching the gray armor general's side, and suddenly he shouted, stood up, and slashed at the gray armor general.
His knife, that is all his strength, almost indestructible.
He felt that if this knife went down, even if the other party was a ghost or god, there was no reason to be spared.
He was like a roaring tiger, and when he slashed with his long knife, he was as fast and fierce as lightning on a sunny day.
The gray armor general naturally found out that Jochitai was going to deal with him a long time ago, the corners of his mouth flashed a trace of ridicule, a low cry came out of his throat, the spear in his hand had been stabbed straight out, his spear move was peaceful and rushing, it didn't look fast and gorgeous, but when the big knife in Jochitai's hand was still half an arm's length away from the top of the gray armor general's head, the gray armor general's spear had already stabbed Jochitai's chest.
The blood in Jochitai's chest seemed to condense at that moment, this seemingly inconspicuous gray armor general, and his marksmanship didn't look like a thunderbolt master, but the heavy sword had no edge, and the big skill was not working, and the gray armor general simply and cleanly stabbed straight at the gun, without any change in moves, but Jochitai had already found that he couldn't dodge.
The sound was in his ears, the gun was already in his chest, and Jochitai had only one thought for a moment, his choice seemed to be wrong, and his actions seemed too reckless.
I want to kill the other person, but why doesn't the other party want to kill me?
He had no choice but to say that Jochitai's move was also a quick response, "dang" sounded, the handle of the knife really snorted on the barrel of the gun, the knife and the gun intersected, sparks splashed, the spear barrel was also cast with fine iron, Jochitai wanted to open the gun shaft with this, but the opponent's strength was far beyond his imagination, although the knife and gun intersected, but the spear was not blocked, the other party's gun was extremely steady, the momentum remained the same, Jochitai was shocked, The sharp edge of the spear had pierced him in the chest, and then mercilessly slid in.
Jochitai's face changed miserably, at this moment, he thought of a common saying in his mind, he couldn't fight the eagle but was blinded by the eagle!
It's a pity that the eagle can only scratch the blind eye, but the spear can kill people, the gray armor will have cold eyes, when the spear is not in the chest of Jochitai, the gray armor will be throat and shout, actually use his hands to pick up the spear, and Jochitai's burly and sturdy body was provoked by the spear and hung in the air.
