Chapter 132: On a Moonless Night, the Halberd Immediately (II)
The night is as cool as water, and as dark as ink.
On the east bank of the Qingyuan River, Li Li's camp.
Inside the gate, the war is in full swing.
Under the leadership of the commander Teng Xiao, the Wuwei battalion rushed into the iron cavalry of more than 10,000 Xiu Tu in one go, fighting bravely, fierce and abnormal, and not afraid of death.
Deputy commander Cheng Yi led 500 elite soldiers to Yuanmen, intending to intercept the back of the Hugh Tu cavalry, and slaughtered 10,000 Hugh Tu troops in the camp in one fell swoop.
The Hugh Tu cavalry was skillful in arching and horseing, and the war cavalry was also very brave in charging and killing, with a whining and shouting in his mouth, and a spear in his hand stabbing at him, looking very imposing and unstoppable.
Although the Hugh Tu War Cavalry is brave and ferocious, how can the Wuwei Battalion be a weak army?
Since its formation, the Wuwei Army has gone through several battles in Heilongling, Hutu Wasteland and Dongshankou, and the Wuwei Battalion came into being in the war. More than seventy percent of the soldiers in the battalion are veterans of the rest of the war, with exquisite fighting techniques, tenacious fighting will, and endless ferocity. In addition to the veterans, the remaining thirty percent of the soldiers are by no means recruits, but soldiers under the command of Han Sui and Ma Teng, who are also elite soldiers who have been in battle for a long time; Otherwise, Teng Xiao would not have recruited them to his command at all.
In the face of the brave rush of the Hugh Tu Iron Cavalry, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were stronger when they were strong, the offensive was extremely fierce, the killing moves were concise and sharp, and they would kill with one blow, and they were extremely good at reaching out.
At the same time, the horsemanship of the soldiers of the Wuwei battalion was not inferior to that of the Hutu people.
All the soldiers sat on horseback as if they were flat, leaning forward and backward, dodging left and right, flying sideways, all of them were fine, killing Hugh and slaughtering people without any temper, so they could only fight hard, and there was no advantage at all.
In the fierce battle, the impact of the Hugh Tu war cavalry was strangled head-on by the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion.
The two sides fought in a stalemate for half an hour, and the fighting will of the Hugh Tu cavalry dropped sharply, and the morale was low, and the fighting was carried out with fear.
The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion became more and more courageous the more they fought, and the fighting techniques became more and more exquisite, and the attacks were fierce, and they would be killed with one blow.
In addition, Teng Xiao took the lead, and in the swing of the halberd, there were broken arms and broken bodies, and blood was raining. No one in the Xiu Tu army could stop him, and he was chiseled through the formation by Teng Xiao, leading the soldiers of the Wuwei battalion behind him to enter and exit three times, killing 10,000 Xiu Tu troops with heavy casualties and retreating in panic.
How could Naiyuanmen be firmly guarded by Cheng Yi and his five hundred personal soldiers, and the retreat was blocked.
Cheng Yi is even more horizontal knife immediately blocked in the narrow gate, there is a lot of momentum when the door is not open, plus he is strong in martial arts, has a first-class up-to-the top of the rank, and is extremely brave.
Suddenly, Hugh Turen faced Teng Xiao's frontal attack, and the way out behind him was blocked by Cheng Yi, and he fell into a dilemma.
Half an hour later, nearly half of the original 10,000 Xiu Tu Iron Cavalry was lost, and the morale became more and more sluggish, and there was a tendency to collapse.
The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion took advantage of the victory and attacked fiercely, so that the Hugh Tu people fled in panic, and they all waited for an opportunity to rush into the vacant camp tents in the camp, trying to escape the disaster of killing.
In an instant, Hutu's army was defeated like a mountain, scattered in panic in the huge camp, and fled for his life in panic.
But they were still running around the camp, and they were not out of danger at all, but they did not know it.
At the gate of Yuan, Teng Xiao and Cheng Yi joined forces to guard the camp gate, and wantonly hunted and killed the defeated army of Hugh who fled in panic.
After a vacant camp tent less than fifty steps away from Yuanmen, Dian Zhen had stopped here with hundreds of personal soldiers for a long time, but unfortunately he had not waited for the right time to kill Yuanmen.
At stake in his own life, Dian Zhen does not dare to take risks easily, let alone reveal his own deeds. Therefore, he had to order his own soldiers to drive the other Xiutu soldiers away from him, and even did not hesitate to kill his own people himself, so as to ensure that his whereabouts were not discovered by the Han army. Especially if he can't be seen by the black-faced man who injured him before, otherwise, he will be in danger this time.
Time passed in anxious waiting, and Dian Zhen's limited patience was also worn out little by little, making him anxious, eager to rush to Yuanmen immediately and forcibly kill the general.
It's just that the black-faced man will always linger around the Yuanmen, and there is another Han general outside the Yuanmen who is guarding the way out of the camp with hundreds of elite soldiers, and the defense is extremely tight, not giving Dian Zhen a chance to escape by storming the Yuanmen at all.
In the shadow of the tent, Dian Zhen took off the bow and arrow on the side of his mount, waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to wind up with the bow like himself, waiting for the opportunity to shoot the black-faced Han general and another Han general outside the gate.
"Whew--!"
The low sound of stretching the bow and pulling the string sounded behind Dian Zhen, and more than thirty arrows were secretly aimed at Teng Xiao and Cheng Yi, who were forty steps away, waiting for an opportunity to release.
Doorway.
Seeing that the Wuwei battalion under his account had won a great victory, and the Hugh Tu army was defeated and scattered, and thousands of Hugh Tu people dismounted and surrendered, Teng Xiao suddenly felt a big sigh of relief, rode his horse to the outside of the gate, and stood side by side with Cheng Yi.
"Cheng Yi, at the beginning of the war, there was a general who was quite strong in martial arts, and after being hit hard by me, he disappeared. Have you ever seen that man? ”
Cheng Yi was slightly stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "Has the commander ever seen how that person dresses up, how his martial arts are compared to Cheng, and what weapons he uses?" ”
"Huh?" Teng Xiao was slightly stunned, and secretly thought to himself: "Cheng Yi has always been calm, but why is he so concerned about the strength of the martial arts of the barbarian general Xiu this time?" ”
Although he had doubts in his heart, Teng Xiao didn't ask much, and said: "The barbarian general is dressed in bright yellow armor, wearing a sheep's horn hood, and there are five golden feathers on the crown. His martial arts are not weak, and he can step into the lower ranks of top generals, but his foundation is unstable, and he should eat some kind of rare elixir or spirit fruit to become one of the top generals. He used a two-zhang silver spear, which was not an ordinary iron weapon, but a divine weapon forged from iron, which was extremely rare; The mount under the crotch is also very good, it is a green horse with a body length of one foot and a height of eight feet, which can be called a good horse ・・・・・・ a thousand miles. ”
"Ahh Cheng Yi didn't wait for Teng Xiao to finish speaking, then he screamed in surprise, and his face was surprised.
Teng Xiao asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with you, what made you lose your temper so much?" ”
"Commander, these traits you just mentioned remind me of a man. If your subordinates didn't guess wrong, the person who fought with you before was the prince of the Xiutu tribe who led the former army of Hutu this time, Dian Zhen! Cheng Yi said affirmatively.
"Prince Hugh Tu? The miscellaneous of the barbarian tribe dare to call themselves princes! Is Dian Dang, the leader of the Xiutu tribe, calling himself the king of Xiutu? Teng Xiao said angrily.
Cheng Yi smiled when he heard this, and said, "The commander doesn't need to be angry. As early as the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Song Jian, the leader of the Qiang people in Longxi, claimed to be the king without authorization, and imitated the etiquette system of the Han court, set up a hundred civil and military officials, and survived for more than 30 years, and then was exterminated by the imperial court. Therefore, it has always been common for barbarians to claim the title of king without authorization.
This was the case with the leader of the Hutu tribe, Dian Dang, who called himself the king of Hutu, and his eldest son Dian Zhen was the prince of Hutu. These barbarian vassal kings, imitating the costumes of the Han royal family, are dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing gold and silver, and their crowns are equipped with bright yellow ornaments to show their noble status.
Therefore, the person who was injured before the subordinates judged that the leader was the prince of Hutu, Dian Zhen, and at present, there was only one person in the royal family of Hutu, who was closest to the camp of our army.
In addition, his subordinates also heard that Dian Zhen was strong in martial arts and was known as the first warrior of the Hutu tribe. However, I know that the name of Dian Zhen, the first warrior, does not live up to the name; In fact, the first warrior of Hugh Tu was someone else. As far as I know, among the Xiu Tu tribe, there are at least four people whose martial arts are not inferior to Dian Zhen, or even far above him. It's just that these people don't want to offend this self-confident prince and don't compete with him for this false name. Moreover, these people with strong martial arts are all serving under the tent of a woman who is slaughtered, and this woman is the flawless beauty who is known as the 'Pearl of the Desert'. ”
Teng Xiao bowed slightly, and said coldly: "In this way, we must not let go of this prince Xiu Tu this time, if we can capture it, we will capture it, and if we can't capture it alive, we will kill it!" ”
Cheng Yi smiled and said: "It is said that this prince of Dian Zhen is quite capable, and Zhangye County was attacked by his army, and it is ・・・・・・. ”
"Whoosh!"
Just as Cheng Yi was speaking, Teng Xiao suddenly burst out with a cold murderous aura in his eyes, grabbed Cheng Yi casually, and the cloud-stepping mount under his crotch jumped instantly, avoiding the gate and landing behind the fence on the left side of the gate, thus dodging dozens of sharp arrows that flew in.
"Excuse me!"
"Da Da Da -!"
Just as the Cloud Treading Divine Horse carried Teng Xiao and Cheng Yi to the ground smoothly, Cheng Yi's mount suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, being shot to death by more than ten sharp arrows.
Immediately afterwards, a swift sound of horses came straight to the gate, and in a few breaths they ran to the gate, trying to force their way out of the gate and flee.
"Hidden arrows hurt people, and they will die!"
In the midst of a loud shout, Teng Xiao held the halberd in his hand and with the cooperation of the clouds, he jumped on his horse and killed in front of the gate in an instant.
"Death to those who stand in my way! Kill--"
Dian Zhen, who was anxious to flee for his life, saw that the gate was in front of him, and the two Han generals dodged more than 30 hidden arrows, and now the black-faced Han generals turned back and blocked the gate with a horizontal horse.
Suddenly, Dian Zhen was so anxious that he roared angrily with a prancing horse and went straight to Teng Xiao to kill.
"Arrogant and barbaric thief, Teng wants to see what the thief is capable of tonight, dare to speak so loudly!"
Teng Xiao snorted coldly, the tiger's eyebrows were raised, his eyes were round, he rode alone, stopped outside the gate with a halberd, and looked at Dian Zhen and more than 30 Hutu cavalrymen who were rushing to kill with contempt.
Suddenly, Teng Xiao rose on horseback, stepped on the four hooves of the cloud god horse, and was not afraid to collide head-on with the Hugh Tu cavalry.
"Phew!"
In a low shout, Teng Xiao held the halberd in both hands, stabbed vigorously, and killed ten Hutu war horsemen in a few breaths, and instantly met Dian Zhen head-on, wielding the halberd and going straight to Dian Zhen's head. (To be continued)
