Chapter 47 The first defeat

The entire Qiang camp was in a mess, and the command system was even more chaotic if Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were lost.

By dawn, everything returned to peace, but all the Qiang people had already surrendered with tact. This time, it was conservatively estimated that 40,000 Qiang people would be reduced, and 20,000 were trampled on the camp and after the trampling, killing each other, and killing each other in the fire, and a few escaped.

The leaders of various tribes, together with Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou, were escorted to Luoyang to offer prisoners.

I believe Emperor Ling of Han would like these Qiang leaders who committed rebellion. Of course, the Ten Eunuchs must be well managed. Who knows if they will reduce their military achievements to 1%, or even conceal them directly without reporting them.

Emperor Ling of Han was very romantic and happy at this moment, and he was naked every day. The tour hall was open for an unobstructed carnival, but he was the only man who participated in this carnival.

Almost all the political affairs were reviewed by the Ten General Assesses, and then passed them to him, which made Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong look like eunuchs, and the power at hand was even more amazing.

With the defeat of the Qiang camp, the baggage soldiers who followed were also ambushed. This time, the Qiang people went south to plunder the gold, silver and jewelry, and Han slaves were all obtained by Liu Ming.

However, he has no habit of releasing people and giving travel expenses. All men and women do not care whether they are voluntarily or not, and they will all be brought back to Dai County. Anyway, Dai County is vast and sparsely populated, and it is better to fill in it. Each person is given enough food for one year, and as long as the rest is capable, they can always make a living regardless of farming or working.

A lazy person is waiting for Tian Feng to send someone to take him as a hard laborer.

According to the scouts, no unidentified army was seen around them for the time being, and even strange people or business travelers were not seen. It can be seen that the target of the clan is still itself, and its logistics should be safe this time.

The new round of supplies was sent by Song Qian. This person's martial arts skills were not bad, so it was reassuring to send him.

After comforting him, he joked that he wanted to give him a few Qiang girls. Song Qian quickly said that he didn't dare, and under Liu Ming's persistence, he still accepted the rewards from the Qiang girls. The man was indeed a bit curious.

The army began to rest and learned through the scout that Ma Teng and Han Sui had already begun to return to the north to help. Obviously, they could not sit idly by and watch the Qiang people be killed, otherwise they would have lost someone to be a meat shield for them in the future.

According to their marching route and after Cheng Yu's calculations, an ambush was set up in the hilly areas where they must pass. I just hope that they could kill their living power with the advantage of long-range shooting with lightning speed. It would be best to make them afraid of fighting!

On Liu Ming's side, there are only more than 24,000 troops left, while on Ma Teng's side, there are 70,000 troops, which is too disparity in strength.

You should know that Ma Teng and Han Sui's troops were also equipped with stirrups and played riding and shooting. More importantly, they also had first-class generals such as Yan Xing, Ma Teng, Ma Chao, Ma Dai, and Pang De. Once they really encountered their charge, the new army on Liu Ming's side would not have an advantage, and it was not very reliable to be close to the eight thousand archers.

The Mahayana coalition was very fast. With the benefits gained from the Qiang people over the years, these guys actually allowed their cavalry to ride two horses! Moreover, most of these guys were Qiang people or border people who were good at riding horses. With stirrup training for three months, they became elite cavalry. Five months, heavy cavalry can be trained, as long as they have enough iron to build armor.

In the distance, these cavalry kept jumping on the horse's back to relieve the fatigue caused by the horse's rapid raid. Once the horse is tired, its speed will decrease. If it cannot run, the cavalry can only wait for the chopping.

In Liu Ming's opinion, they looked like a grand juggling. If they were really watching a juggling show, they should give warm applause to praise the team at this moment.

Unfortunately, these guys' performances require human lives to pay for the viewing fee.

This price is too expensive, so Liu Ming decided to evade the ticket!

As the distance gets closer, both sides are about to arrive at the most suitable battle site.

But at this moment, Mahan divided his troops!

Yes, they were divided into two groups, led by Ma Teng and circling from the left, and Han Sui led by 40,000 troops to circling from the right. The only explanation for this action was that they knew that there was an ambush behind the hilly area!

Damn, who leaked the secret?!

Gao Shun immediately issued an assault order, and the cavalry quickly got on the horse and drove the horses to run. But at this moment, the other party had completed the encirclement and began to kill towards Liu Ming and the others.

The archers had already bent their bows and arrows, and the "rain of arrows all over the sky" was launched instantly.

I have to say that with excellent bow riding and pouring rain of arrows, this time it did reduce the pressure on the army a lot.

Everyone moved quickly, but the infantry could only go to the rear of the palace silently.

They knew that they could not escape the cavalry, and the only ending of escaping was to die here. Instead, they killed them directly, and perhaps they could even kill a path of blood. At most, they were cut a few times and were dying with their arms and legs. If they were not dead after the war, they would be carried back by their comrades after the war, at least they could save their lives.

"Kill!" The only three thousand spearmen left continued to sprint, even if the enemy was a war horse charging.

"Kill!" The sword and shield soldier protected the spearman tightly, hoping that the horizontal sword in his hand could cut off the sabre that was slashing at his comrades.

Liu Ming attaches great importance to the army, and his military pay and benefits are high, at least higher than the regular army. Song Qian once joked: Isn’t you digging a corner of the regular army like this? Even if I am a regular army, I will come over and surrender to you!

At that time, he was kicked by Liu Ming and was immediately scolded. After all, isn't the army under Liu Ming's nominal command also a regular army in the Han Dynasty?

Liu Ming gave his soldiers a great benefit, and these soldiers also had a carnival this time, but I don’t know if they had left a home for them. If they could succeed in one shot, it would be great.

Really, I really die without regrets... Haha, what stupid things are you saying? I have lived until now and enjoyed it until now. My life has been free!

The soldiers died without regrets, and only hoped to protect Liu Ming from escaping safely.

Liu Ming is the backbone of Dai County and is also the guarantee of their family's life.

They can die, but Liu Ming can't!

"Kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" No matter how many deaths occur, the spearmen and the horizontal sword and shield soldiers are still moving forward bravely.

They used sprints and slashes again and again, making the enemy ahead frightened.

When Ma Teng looked at the team from afar, he couldn't help but sigh: What a magnificent man in the Han family!

Obviously, he still regarded himself as a Han family. It was just that the treacherous ministers were in power and the eunuchs were in chaos, so he had to temporarily become a bandit. When the court needed him in the future, he would come back.

As the general of the Han Dynasty, continue to defend this country!

"Shoot!" The commander of the crossbow soldier screamed hysterically.

They have the least equipment and naturally run the fastest. However, they know that they may not be able to escape.

All the caltrops were fired out, so that these cavalry could not catch up with the general. While they were backing back and shooting, they actually used the three-round shooting technique of retreating and serial shooting.

It’s a pity that the enemy is still approaching step by step, and they will eventually die under the enemy’s sabre.

Not to mention, the one who took the lead in rushing towards them was Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, known as the "Jin Ma Chao"!

A bloody battle, a real bloody battle!

Nearly 10,000 troops were killed here, and only more than 13,000 cavalry were able to escape.

This was the first time that Liu Ming faced defeat in a battle. Although he was very cowardly, he was reluctant.

But the Mahan army was not pleased, and the 70,000 troops were killed to only more than 36,000. What made them most depressed was that the first time they picked up the horizontal sword, battle crossbow, and spear, these high-level weapons were shattered directly, as if they were unwilling to be used by them.
