In this era, duels between generals in front of the formation are rare. Ma Chengxun has no intention of fighting the two heroes alone, and E Yidu and Anfei Yanggu have no intention of joining forces to fight against one person.
Both sides invariably led their men to fight to the death, so the area was small and only a few hundred people could actually participate in the battle.
The Ming army fought on horseback, which had both advantages and disadvantages.
The advantage lies in being in a commanding position. Although the bayonet of the lance in his hand is not as long as the bayonet of the rifle, it is still longer than the single swords of various shapes used by the Jianzhou soldiers;
The disadvantage was that after being desperately blocked by the red and white Baya La, although the Ming army was temporarily in the lead in terms of kills, due to the loss of the most advantageous speed advantage of the cavalry, the field gradually fell into a bitter stalemate, and the battle began to take a turn.
The Jianzhou Army tilted on one side.
When Ma Chengxun saw this, he flew into a rage and chopped off the head of a Jianzhou Bajala with his backhand knife. Blood spattered on his face, making his already strong beard condense with blood, making him look even more ferocious, as if
Like the Asura king in the Brahma sect.
Suddenly, Ma Chengxun spied the Jianzhou enemy general rushing down from the left, silently leading his men under his command to approach. Although the enemy general was silent, he was extremely brave and fought steadily, leading his men to stand firm.
He still fought according to the method of sword and shield men opening the way, and archers heavy arrows to break armor and harvest. Many Ming army cavalry fought against the sword and shield men, but were knocked off their horses by the bows and arrows of the Jianzhou soldiers. The battle situation was obviously unfavorable.
Ma Chengxun's heart became angry, and he drew his sword and crossed his horse to attack the Jianzhou enemy general.
This Jianzhou general was E Yidu. His original intention was to quietly establish an advantage. In the end, he and Anfei Yanggu worked together to trap Ma Chengxun to death. Unexpectedly, Ma Chengxun was killing the enemy while taking the overall situation into consideration. When he saw that the situation had changed
Immediately urge the horses to fight.
They also considered that the treasured armor on Ma Chengxun must be far superior to what he was wearing. He didn't want to fight alone rashly, but he glanced at Anfei Yanggu on the other side and seemed to have noticed Ma Chengxun's movements and was quietly moving to follow him.
.
E Yi couldn't help but feel something in his heart. He thought of the cooperation he had with his cousin Ha Sihu when he was hunting tigers in the mountains when he was young. He subconsciously shouted and said to Ma Chengxun: "Tomorrow will be good, but E Yi is worried about the lack of success."
Report to the master!" After saying that, he also clamped his horse's belly and faced it with his sword.
Ma Chengxun had been a cavalry officer for a long time, and he could tell at a glance that although he was tough, his riding skills were not as good as his own. He couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a murderous sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said solemnly: "Huh, I'm selling my head!"
But although he said he was arrogant, his actions were unreasonable. While he was riding his horse forward, he quietly pulled the reins of the horse to the left. When he and his horse were about to meet each other, Ma Chengxun's horse suddenly made a diagonal move to the left.
Open it a little, and this will give you a distance of about half an arm's length.
In a horse fight, the cross-horse encounter is usually a move made between lightning and flint. Because of the extremely fast speed, you usually have to accurately calculate the opponent's moves before making a move, and prepare the angle and strength of your move.
According to the original directions of both parties, the distance between the two of them when they passed by each other was relatively close. Therefore, neither of them raised the sword on their foreheads, but held the sword at their waists, half-retracting their hands, intending to use the tip of the sword straight at the moment they met.
Seung Hoon's chest was numb.
This action is not very common in horse fighting, but it is very suitable for the current situation.
Because Ma Chengxun has a typical northwest man's physique, tall and burly, like a giant spirit god. The war horse under his crotch is also very majestic, it is a purebred Central Asian sweat horse snatched from Tumote during the Western Expedition a few years ago.
The offspring is half a head taller than Eryidu's war horse.
E Yidu judged that Ma Chengxun most likely took advantage of his height advantage to chop diagonally from top to bottom. This physical advantage exists objectively and E Yidu cannot change it artificially. If Ma Chengxun did this, he would
It would be difficult to force the fight. Therefore, E Yidu chose to take advantage of the situation and planned to suddenly lean over when the two horses met and stab Ma Chengxun directly in the chest.
However, after all, he had no experience fighting against an extremely skilled rider. Ma Chengxun judged his plan from his preparatory movements, so before the two horses met, he pulled the horse's rein slightly to the left, and the horse's head
The direction was slightly turned, and when the two sides passed each other, they were already half an arm's length apart.
Although this distance is actually not long, it is enough to make E Yidu's sword miss. At the same time, Ma Chengxun did not use the top-down chop that E Yidu expected to "cleave Huashan with force".
The move is to stretch the arm outward and drag the saber diagonally - this move is rarely seen among Han generals, and is a typical Mongolian cavalry sword technique. However, Ma Chengxun did not learn it from the Mongols.
This trick of his was inherited from Ma Fang.
It was too late, but it was too late. Ma Chengxun's unexpected change of moves was indeed completely unexpected. However, at this moment, it was already too late to stop or change his moves.
Er Yidu's agility, which he had honed from hunting in the mountains in his early years, was able to pull him back from the gate of death. When he couldn't avoid it, he simply leaned over more decisively and "hugged" him directly on the horse's back.
up, and the head is even lower.
"Xilulu..." Eyidu's war horse suddenly let out a mournful neigh. Before he understood what was going on, he felt that the four hooves of the war horse lost strength and fell into the snow with a "bang". At the same time, he himself
He was also thrown off and rolled several times in the snow, with several cuts on his face caused by ice shards.
He was on the battlefield right now, and could be hit by the Ming army at any time, so E Yi didn't even care about the pain all over his body, and quickly got up. He glanced at his horse subconsciously, but saw that the horse's neck was wounded by Ma Chengxun.
A seemingly light knife cut half of it, and blood was gushing out, dyeing the snow around the horse corpse blood red.
A chill ran down my forehead, and I thought to myself with some fear: This Ma Chengxun is so good at riding, and so good at swordsmanship on horseback! I heard that he has been with Master Ma for many years and is his direct disciple. I miss that horse.
I thought it was just a rumor earlier that the Grand Master was able to beat the Anda Khan away with his cavalry, but now it seems that it is really not a boast from Mingren...
However, just when E Yidu was thinking about how to deal with Ma Chengxun's offensive after reining in his horse, Ma Chengxun, who had just turned his horse around, suddenly changed his expression, and his whole body suddenly turned to the side.
Before Eryi had time to think about what was going on with Ma Chengxun, he saw a cold light flying towards Ma Chengxun like lightning.
Originally, this cold light should have been pointed directly between Ma Chengxun's chest and abdomen, but Ma Chengxun's twisting and leaning back movement caused it to be slightly misaligned, and it penetrated directly into Ma Chengxun's left shoulder socket.
Although E Yidu and Ma Chengxun had passed by on the wrong horse at this time and were separated by at least five or six feet, he still heard Ma Chengxun groan.
Er Yidu knew in his heart that An Feiyanggu must have done this.
Anfeyangu is somewhat special among the Nurha Red Army. This specialness does not refer to bravery or status, but his style is different from others.
The biggest difference between Amfiyangu and other generals lies in two points: first, he pays special attention to the training of his soldiers, and often makes the soldiers do some weird training such as "jumping into the stream" and "crossing the pit", and he never tires of it;
He valued the intelligence of the returning generals and believed that the only purpose of war was to defeat the enemy. In order to defeat the enemy, any means would be used.
Like just now, while Ma Chengxun and E Yidu were fighting to attack from behind, it would have been difficult for E Yidu to do it.
Even if Er Yidu wants to shoot, he will shoot at an angle where the opponent can see it. Whether the opponent is distracted and does not pay attention to it is another matter; Anfeiyanggu will not care about shooting cold arrows from behind.
For him, there are no hot or cold arrows on the battlefield, it is enough to kill the enemy.
The Jurchens are a people of fishing and hunting, and quietly firing cold arrows is the basic principle of hunting. They will not have any psychological burden on this. People like E Yidu are actually influenced by the heroism of the Han and Mongolians, and some
"Not Juristic enough".
However, this move made Ma Chengxun furious. The arrow just now was so powerful that it actually penetrated the armor and hit his left shoulder socket. Moreover, the armor-piercing arrow had an extended underhook, and followed his movements.
, it’s almost heart-wrenching pain.
You must know that although the armor he is wearing is also a cavalry armor, it is a "customized version for generals". It is made of thin steel sheets produced by Jinghua on the outside of the ordinary armor. Its defensive power is absolutely first-class among cavalry armors.
With the blessing of this kind of armor, he was sure that ordinary armor-piercing arrows would be difficult to penetrate. But the arrow just now was so powerful. It was definitely not an ordinary stray arrow. There must be an enemy who is good at shooting it and will use a strong bow to shoot it.
Deliberate sneak attack.
Enemy generals, strong bows, and sneak attacks from behind. He had never enjoyed this kind of treatment in many years of war with the Mongols, but unexpectedly, he would receive such treatment in Liaodong.
Ma Chengxun was so angry that he handed the saber to his left hand with his right hand, held the arrow shaft exposed outside the armor and broke it suddenly. Then he glanced in the direction of An Feiyanggu, and his eyes were fixed on An Feiyanggu, who was holding a long bow and had no intention of hiding it.
Fei Yanggu's face said coldly: "Thief, do you dare to use your name?"
Anfeyangu threw his bow at the soldiers beside him, replaced the sword in his hand, and replied loudly without any concern: "Why don't you dare? I am Juercha Feiyanggu under the command of Jianzhou Dabele!"
Chengxun, you have reached the end of your rope today. I advise you not to waste your martial arts skills. Instead, you might as well serve my Baylor..."
"Hahahaha!" Ma Chengxun laughed wildly, interrupting An Feiyanggu's words, and then his smile faded, and he said solemnly: "You don't even want to ask, my right guard Ma family is full of loyal people, and there is no one who has ever bent his knees to become a thief!
What's more... you think you can win by stabbing me in the back? But you'd be happy too early!"
Anfeiyanggu was a little surprised for a moment. The battle situation was obviously at a stalemate, and as the main general, Ma Chengxun was injured again, how could he still be so confident?
An Feiyanggu knew the arrow just now. Not only was the single-handed bow a strong bow, but the armor-piercing arrow was also specially made. Its undercut was not only lengthened, but also had a certain arc.
This kind of arrow shot into Ma Chengxun's body. Not only was it extremely difficult to take it out, but it would also continue to damage his body if he moved even a little. The pain was abnormal. His left arm could not use force at all. It was far more vicious than ordinary arrows. If it were still
If there is any regret, it is that due to the rush, this arrow was not quenched.
Under such circumstances, even if Ma Chengxun breaks the arrow body, he will continue to bleed. No matter how brave he is and not afraid of death, he cannot hold on for too long. He must remove the arrow and bandage it as soon as possible and recuperate. For this
On one point, Anfeiyanggu is absolutely sure, and at the same time, he also believes that with Ma Chengxun's battle experience, he must understand it in his heart.
So under such circumstances, why did Ma Chengxun dare to speak so loudly? An Feiyanggu was really puzzled and could only think that Ma Chengxun's move was just to stabilize the morale of the military.
Anfeiyanggu decided not to pay attention to it, and just rode up with a sword, thinking that if Ma Chengxun was captured, everything would be settled.
Ma Chengxun snorted coldly. Although his left arm could no longer bear the force, he could still move his hand slightly. He tightened the horse's reins by turning his wrist, controlled the horse with one hand with his left hand, and lifted the knife with his right hand.
He faced me head-on, and even said proudly: "You clown, even if I give you a left arm, I can still kill you off the horse!"
An Feiyanggu is not an angry person, but after hearing such arrogance, he couldn't help but get angry. His nostrils slightly opened and he said coldly: "What a madman, so don't blame me, Feiyanggu, for not sparing his talents!"
The horses of both men began to speed up. However, at this moment, the mountain where Nurhaci was sitting suddenly erupted with shouts and the sound of gold and iron. A shout like thunder came from the mountain: "Su Wanbeizi Guarjia Fei Yingdong.
Here, if Nurhachi has not yet been given the head, how long will it take?"
(Note: Beizi does not mean the son of Beile. In the Qing Dynasty, Beizi was placed under Beile. However, in early Manchu, the original meaning of Beizi was "born noble". The Guarjia family of Su Wanbu has a long history and was a Jurchen in the Jin Dynasty.
He was famous for his surname, so Fei Yingdong called himself Beizi at this time.)
Immediately following this shout, came Nurhaci’s voice: “Are you Fei Yingdong?”
But Nurhachi's voice only conveyed this sentence, and there was no other news after that.
An Feiyanggu, who was preparing to fight with Ma Chengxun in front of his horse, suddenly reined in his horse and stood still. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly sneered: "I hunted you with the method of hunting, and Fei Yingdong hunted me with the method of hunting."
?Very good, please record your head on your neck and take it back after I finish killing Su's son."
Having said that, he turned around and left regardless of how Ma Chengxun ridiculed him.
Er Yidu over there had also calmed down at this time. After the previous battle, he already knew the difference in horse fighting between him and Ma Chengxun, and secretly said: This person has superb horsemanship. If you want to fight with him, you must be on the horse.
The horse can be lowered. At this time, I have lost the horse. Although he has injured one arm, he is still in a condescending position and is still invincible. It is better to pretend to retreat and wait for him to bleed out and lose strength for a longer period of time before fighting again.
Thinking of this, Er Yidu picked up the sword that he had lost when he fell off his horse, turned around and left.
Ma Chengxun saw it with his sharp eyes and subconsciously wanted to pursue him. Suddenly, his vision blurred. Although he calmed down immediately, he couldn't help being secretly surprised: Oops, this arrow is so vicious. In just a short while, I have already lost so much blood?
He quickly looked down, only to find that the blood flowing from his left shoulder had dyed half of his body red, and the bright red blood was even dripping down bit by bit on the ground along his left foot.
