Four hundred and fiftieth chapters defeated Qiang Qi
More than 20,000 Qiang people did not form a riding formation. They were like wild horses charging wildly, shaking the entire wet earth into pieces of water.
"The enemy is incoming!" On the sentry tower built in the Shu army camp on the edge of Prancing Horse Beach, an old captain with a bow on his back suddenly shouted, and then began to blow the warning ox-horn trombone.
"Form up, quickly form the formation! The front line is behind the horses, forming a wall of guns, and the back line is with foot bows to check the launchers!" Yu Wen, who was wearing armor, and several generals, rushed back and forth in a hurry.
"Yu Wen, be careful." Standing high up in the camp, Xu Mu looked calm.
"Lord, please watch me, Yu Wen, kill the enemy in front of the Prancing Horse Beach!"
"good!"
"My lord, I am a Qiang person."
Xu Mu frowned, the Daji state collapsed, and foreign races from all directions were ready to move. Di people, barbarians, Qiang people, Rouran... To a large extent, these foreign races accelerated the decline of the dynasty.
A simple sentence.
He likes foreign friends in prosperous times, but does not like foreign tigers and wolves in troubled times.
"Destroy the enemy!" The old captain on the arrow tower roared, took off his iron bow, and began to aim down.
In front of Prancing Horse Beach.
The sounds of the Qiang people roaring and fighting, one after another, are like spring thunder, deafening, piercing the eardrums and causing pain.
But as Xu Mu expected.
The first group of Qiang people who invaded looked like they were riding two to three thousand people. As soon as they stepped onto the Leap Horse Beach, their horses' hooves got stuck in.
"Bow bow, due north, throw the arrow out!"
"The company of the crossbowmen listened to our military orders and used a scattering formation to shoot down the Qiang dog army!"
hold head high--
In the first battle, two to three thousand Qiang people were suddenly thrown off their backs, shot to death, or trampled by the horse hooves of the rebels, turning into bloody meat paste.
Xu Mu suddenly felt a little unwilling. This scene was originally reserved for Dong Wen. This guy was actually very smart and sent out a lot of cannon fodder to protect himself from the thunder.
"Yu Wen, be careful to keep your horse!" Xu Mu did not forget to warn him.
The foundation is so poor that even a cool horse is a rare commodity.
Under the waves of bows and crossbows, countless Qiang cavalry screamed and died on the shoal.
King Yu Dang, who was wearing a jeweled felt hat, looked very anxious. This time, after finally entering the Yumen Pass and stepping into the Central Plains, he was still counting on a wave of killings. This time it was good, but the warriors in the front line were inexplicable.
A lot of people died.
"Quickly, throw all the felt tents on the horse on the shoal, Baishi God! Bless our Qiang Heavenly Army!"
"Put away the scimitar, ride, ride and shoot!"
The Qiang people who came galloping behind took off their hanging short bows with a roar, nocked arrows, and then shot at them one after another, whistling.
"No, it's Qiang people riding and shooting!"
"The front is guarded with shields! The rear army is behind! The rear army takes shelter under the bamboo curtain car!"
The airtight Qiang people's cavalry and shooting seemed to cover the entire dark sky, and thousands of arrows were shot down fiercely.
If the rain curtain hadn't weakened in strength, it might have been much more powerful.
But even so, it is still very powerful.
The tiger shield was covered with Qiang arrows, and the bamboo-curtained carriage was even more terrifying, with two or three layers stacked on top of each other.
Xu Mu was horrified to see it. But at this moment, another thought suddenly came to his mind.
He was obsessed with heavy cavalry, but iron and stone materials were simply not available. The Qiang people's cavalry and shooting in front of him broadened his horizons.
Heavy cavalry is for tanking, light cavalry is for shooting.
Xu Mu clenched his fists, his face full of suppressed joy.
"Yu Wen, let the army retreat a certain distance to avoid the Qiang people's mounted fire!"
"Lord, don't worry!"
Under the united will of the defenders, tens of thousands of Shu soldiers quickly opened a distance across the Pengma Beach. They only waited for the Qiang to ride across the Pengma Beach before encircling and suppressing them.
There was no formation of more than 20,000 Qiang cavalry, they just came roaring to kill. Even after filling up the river sand without horse hooves, corpses still fell one after another.
"These cunning Central Plains people!" King Yudang looked furious. Riding and shooting could not kill people, but these Shu people waited for the Qiang warriors to step onto the ford and shot them immediately.
Of course, he could have another choice, such as returning to retreat and not entangled with the Shu people.
But again, a person's greed may be limited, but a nation's greed is truly endless.
"Kill them all, the warriors of the White Stone God are about to enter the Central Plains!"
"The Qiang people have been completely ruined." Xu Mu's face was expressionless. This blockade from Yuemantan was originally prepared for Dong Wen. He had done a lot of work on controlling the terrain and laying traps.
"Yu Wen, throw the bamboo spear!"
Just like Wen gave the order, the Shuzhou ambush troops in various positions roared, grabbed their bamboo spears, and threw them on the Prancing Horse Beach.
Although the bamboo spear is slightly weaker than the crossbow, if it falls on the shallows, it can stop the horse better.
Thousands of Qiang people rushed into the Yuanma Beach, and they suddenly shouted in panic. The original advantage of filling the beach with felt tents was suddenly gone.
"The shield array covers the infantry and bows, advance a hundred steps, and kill the enemy!" One by one, Shuzhou's generals continued to direct the deployment of their troops.
The staggered arrows from bows and crossbows hit the countless Qiang cavalry trapped in the shallows, causing them to fall off their horses.
King Yu Dang looked horrified when he saw this. After trembling, he began to plan to withdraw his troops. The Shu people in front of him were like an iron army, well organized and courageous in defeating the enemy.
"Shuzhou! General Poliang Han Jiu is here to help!"
At this time, behind the Qiang people, an army of more than 10,000 people began to attack.
…
"It's Han Jiu." Xu Mu frowned. He was certainly happy that Han Jiu rushed to attack from both sides. But the problem was that Dong Wen's army of Liang people couldn't be unprepared and let Han Jiu come over in such a majestic manner.
"Liangzhou, it's time to retreat." In the carriage, Jia Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
"After learning of the defeat at the front of Yuguan, Sima Mao probably persuaded Dong Wen to retreat."
"Wenlong, what about these Qiang people?"
"It's just an army that cuts off the queen. Sima Xiu is so cruel and scheming."
Xu Mu turned around and remained silent. If Dong Wen had not retreated, after Dongfang Jing's consecutive victories, he was confident that he would have beaten the little crybaby and lost his armor.
But the little crybaby retreated. This guy's ambitions are huge, and with the help of Sima Xiu, he may become a strong opponent in the competition.
"The power of Liangzhou's great victory has disappeared. My lord, don't worry, you have already won, and you have won the time for Shuzhou to accumulate grain and make weapons."
"For a long time, Dong Wen should not dare to attack Shu easily."
"Wen Long's words are like enlightenment."
…
The sky turned to dusk, and under the dark twilight, the sound of fighting gradually subsided.
"Sons of the White Stone God, my people!" King Yu Dang, with his last hundred or so cavalry, was surrounded and was in a desperate situation.
Si Hu, who was finally able to take action, was immediately overjoyed when he saw King Yu Dang's tall horse. He grabbed hold of King Yu Dang's body and knocked him to the ground.
"King Yu." Xu Mu slowly stepped out of the passage that had been opened.
"You should know who is treating you as the meat army of the Queen this time."
King Yu Dang stood up, trembling with anger.
"Send people back to the outside of the customs and bring thousands of good horses. If you leave Shu, it will be... the money you paid to buy your life."
King Yudang paused, raised his head and looked ecstatic.
"Does King Shu really mean what he said?"
"Seriously." Xu Mu smiled. He didn't kill Yu Dangwang, not out of kindness. Of course he wanted to get a good horse, but more importantly, if he asked Yu Dangwang to go back to the outside world, sooner or later he would have to fight with the little crying dog.
"Remember, if one of the ten thousand good horses is missing, I will break your legs!"
King Yu Dang's face was aching, but he had no choice but to kowtow in panic.
…
"I heard that when Yudang's tribe came, there were 30,000 Qiang horses. But now, the number of Qiang horses we have collected is less than 7,000. However, Bolie has also collected them on the other side of Yuguan.
With nearly 5,000 good horses, various armors, and food and baggage, it can be considered a rich harvest."
Jia Zhou smiled as he spoke.
"In this way, plus the previous reserve of war horses, if King Yudang sends another 10,000 horses, we in Shuzhou should have more than 30,000 war horses."
"As for the Ma Zhengsi, my lord, please be sure to advise us to feed them soybeans. If we can give birth to another batch of foals in autumn, our Shuzhou will be considered a cavalry state."
Xu Mu was happy to hear this. His Shuzhou seemed to be growing stronger again. This chapter has been completed!
