Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1187 Fierce battle at the water gate in the camp

  On the battlefield, life and death are always only a moment.

Xu Huang hid behind the shield and observed the battlefield through a gap in front of him. He saw that the large army of cavalry was still at the rear of the battlefield, and many troops still did not move, nor did they intend to charge forward, just waiting for the passage to open. that moment. Everyone has a plan, but no one can fully understand the plan of the other party. The information on the battlefield is constantly changing. Often at such times, not only careful preparation and analysis are required, but also the ability to adapt flexibly.

  Xu Huang stays here, he must not only ensure that Ma Chao and others' forces are held back, so that the rest of the people have enough time to block the shore, but also implement follow-up plans...

   "Throw fire!" Xu Huang ordered loudly.

   Immediately, a soldier threw the torch high, drew arcs in the air, and landed on the ground in front of the camp, illuminating the surrounding area, and also illuminated the group of Qiang people who were sprinting forward frantically.

  When he saw the swaying sound of the Qiang people crossing the white stones as signs, Xu Huang suddenly shouted: "Eighty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!"

   Behind the wall of the camp, the commander of the Shesheng camp immediately repeated loudly: "Eighty steps in front of the camp! Strong wind!"

"fall!"

  Amidst the clattering sound, the sword and shield hand in the army tilted the shield to the side at the same time, then put it away, revealing the archer below.

   "Gale! Gale! Gale!"

  The archer opened his bow, and according to the predetermined scale, he threw three consecutive shots across the wall of the village!

   "Vertical!"

  The sword and shield hands raised their shields in unison, and covered the heads of the archers on the side, forming a shield wall again, blocking the sporadic arrows that had shot into the camp from the shields...

  Arrows roared, piercing obliquely from the dark night sky!

  At this time, the Qiang people who were sprinting forward frantically didn't care to dodge, and in such an environment, there were no traces of arrows in the air at all, so they could only pray for the protection of the Longevity Heaven...

   "Poof!"

  A Qiang man who was charging forward was directly poured obliquely from the top of his head by an arrow. The arrow carried bones, brains, blood, and a few hairs, and came out directly from the other side!

  The Qiang man was killed immediately, but his two legs took half a step forward according to the inertia, before falling to the ground with a plop...

Unlike the arrows used by the Qiang people, General Zhengxi spent money. Well, Feiqian’s arrows are made of fine iron, which is quite expensive in terms of lethality and cost. Therefore, the Qiang people’s arrows are too light. The weakness of the projectile is not a problem at all here in Zhengxi, as long as it is projected, it will have a very strong killing effect.

Under three rounds of rapid shooting, the straggler line of about 200 Qiang people rushing forward like sea waves suddenly seemed to be photographed on the flood embankment, and only a few hundred people were left after being sorted out by the scrambled concrete piles. !

  The Qiang people didn't care about it, and ran forward with all their might!

   "Sixty steps before the camp! Strong wind!" Xu Huang shouted again.

  Junhou repeated the sound of shooting, and then another three rounds of projectiles!

   "Forty steps before the camp! Strong wind!" Xu Huang shouted again.

   Three rounds of throwing again.

   "Ah ah ah..."

A Qiang man frantically waved his saber above his head in an attempt to knock away the arrows shot down from the dark sky. The alveoli in his lungs really couldn't support the massive consumption of oxygen. When he stopped slowly and was panting violently, the Qiang talent suddenly discovered that the other Qiang people around him who had rushed over with him were already lying in disorder. On the ground, he was left alone standing in front of the camp gate...

"Get..." When the hot blood subsided, the Qiang talent felt intense fear from his feet to his head, looking at the dark camp like a beast, as if he had fallen into an ice cave in an instant Generally, I couldn't help but tremble all over.

   "嗖—" An arrow drilled out of the night, carrying light, shadow and the breath of blood and fire, and plunged into the Qiang man's chest.

The Qiang exhaled a long breath, as if he was relieved or relieved, his legs softened, he knelt down on the ground, and then he jumped forward, as if being pulled down by an underground ghost, he fell to the ground in the darkness.

Seeing this, the Qiang people who followed the charging queue to landfill and sweep the road stood dumbfounded for a while, and then scattered in all directions with a loud bang, not daring to gather together, to retreat, or to go forward. Spinning around in circles...

   I don’t know if it’s because of the lack of light at night, or the light and shadow of the torch dancing, but the shadow on Ma Chao’s face is like a dancing beast, with only livid iron and no blood.

   There are only 300 archers in this camp, at least double that!

   Even more, eight hundred to one thousand is also possible!

   "Send another team! Bring your shields!" Ma Chao gritted his teeth and ordered, "Fill the road quickly! Otherwise, more people will die!"

   After Ma Chao finished speaking, he called Ma Tie again, said something in a low voice, Ma Tie nodded, turned and left.

This time the Qiang people learned how to be obedient. They stopped being reckless and did not dare to rush indiscriminately. They just held up their shields and moved forward in front of the Qiang people who filled the soil and leveled the road. Although some unlucky guys were shot on their exposed legs or feet There were screams from time to time, but it was much better than the previous state where there was no defense at all. At least the battle line did not collapse.

   "Shesheng Battalion, withdraw from the rear!" Xu Huang saw that the bow and arrow coverage would not take much advantage, so he ordered the archers to withdraw one after another, then turned around and got off the crenel, and said to the guards, "Get some heavy armor..."

   "Captain!" Xu Yu took a step forward and said, "Let's leave the queen..."

  Xu Huang patted Xu Yu on the shoulder, and said: "After the commander of the battalion is gone, the morale of the army will not be in chaos. You lead the team across the river quickly, and if there is anyone who fights for disorder, kill them!"

   "Wei!" Xu Yu had no choice but to follow orders and leave.

At this moment, more than a dozen rope nooses were thrown from the heavy night, and they landed on the wooden pillars on the side wall of the camp accurately, and they were tightened quickly. Force tilted outward!

   "Cut the Rope!"

  The defensive soldiers at the crenel shouted loudly, and then slashed at the noose with their knives, but were knocked down by a burst of arrows flying in from outside the camp.

  Although the pawns who rushed to the crenel later cut off a few with all their strength, more and more lassoes were thrown up, pulling the walls of the camp and starting to shake slightly...

  Xu Huang, who was putting on his armor, couldn't help but shrink his eyes suddenly.

  Ma Chao finally found the biggest weakness of this camp.

The camp built by the river, because of geographical factors, the foundation is relatively loose, and it is impossible to be as stable as the camps in other areas. In addition, the time is short, and there are not many large stones to hold down the wall. Heels, so if it is pulled hard, it is easy to loosen the foundation...

"Shesheng Battalion, retreat! Swords, shields, and long spears step forward to cover!" Xu Huang, who was wearing heavy armor, moved his hands and feet, and felt that there was no obstacle, so he raised the battle ax handed over by the guard, and shouted, "Listen! A certain order, retreat to the water gate!"

  The sword shield held the shield and the ring knife tightly, while the spearman held the spear tightly with both hands, and they lined up behind Xu Huang. The archer gathered his longbow and quiver, quickly bypassed the two sides of the array, and rushed towards the water gate.

The evacuation of the people in the camp and the weakening of the counterattack fueled the arrogance of Ma Chao and Ma Tie and others. Not only did the Qiang people near the camp gate quicken their movements, but even the shouts of pulling the camp wall became more orderly and loud. …

"Boom!" Accompanied by the creaking sound of stretching and twisting wood, five or six wooden stakes in the wall near the tidal flat were pulled and overturned, causing a large area of ​​the wall to tilt. Suddenly a huge gap appeared!

  Xu Huang's eyes were fixed, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Hold on! Someone is here! Beat the drums! Prepare to fight!"

   "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The low sound of war drums came like water waves, stirring in the ears of the Sword and Shield Hands and the Pikemen, calming their restlessness and anxiety.

  The Qiang people rushed in along the gap, yelling in disorder, a group of people went around from the side and unbolted the gate of the village, and a group of people rushed towards the formation of Xu Huang and others at the water gate!

  The Qiang people rushed to the front of Xu Huang's formation, looked at the neat and orderly formation, subconsciously stopped more than ten steps away, crowded together in a mess, and confronted Xu Huang and others. The distance between the two sides is so close, even with the flickering flames, you can clearly see the fierce eyes of the other side...

   More and more Qiang people began to push each other and poured into the camp.

Holding the tomahawk, Xu Huang slowly slashed in the air, then stretched out the palm of the iron glove, turned it upwards, waved at the Qiang people, and roared muffledly behind the mask: "Come to fight! "

  The sword and shield hand and spearman behind Xu Huang couldn't help their blood surging, and shouted in unison: "Fight! Let's fight!"

  The front line of the Qiang could not help but retreat subconsciously. Immediately, a Qiang in the front line was stimulated by Xu Huang and others so that blood rushed to his head. With a roar, he raised his knife and slashed at Xu Huang!

  With one person taking the lead, the rest of the Qiang people subconsciously shouted and ran forward, shouting chaotically, "Kill!"

  Xu Huang looked at the oncoming Qiang people, unmoved, until the first Qiang man was approaching, and suddenly swung his battle ax diagonally from bottom to top!

The huge battle-axe blade drew a shining arc in the air with a "buzz", just when Xu Huang seemed to be about to escape Xu Huang's control, Xu Huang's wrist turned and twisted slightly, and the battle-axe seemed to be spiritual. Lightly turned over in the air, and immediately slashed down at a faster speed!

The Qiang man who rushed to the front paused, with some indescribable expressions on his face. The next moment, his body was like a tomato omelet that was cut open suddenly, or was accidentally cut while hanging in the air. Enema, the whole person split in two obliquely, the organs and blood in the chest cavity and abdominal cavity happily rushed out to breathe the freshest air, if you pay attention, you can still see half of the heart hanging on the rib cage Squeeze out the last injection of blood while crunching...

"kill!"

  Xu Huang gave a loud cry, held an ax in both hands, and swept left and right. The battle ax was like a bloodthirsty beast, eager for it all the time, chasing flesh and blood, killing three people in an instant, and then swept down two more with one roundabout!

Several Qiang people knew that Xu Huang was powerful, and wanted to retreat, but they were blocked by the people coming from behind, unable to retreat, they could only scream like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and raised their knives and guns together Cut and stab at Xu Huang's body!

  Xu Huang swung his battle-axe, casually chopped off the two spears that were pierced by him, and then slashed with an ax on the shield of a Qiang who was heading towards him!

  With the sound of "click", the shield sawdust splashed everywhere. Even if it was reinforced with iron bars, it couldn't withstand Xu Huang's powerful and heavy battle axe, and it burst open from the middle. Before the Qiang could let go, his forearm twisted into an obtuse angle, and he squatted and fell to the ground screaming.

   Before he could struggle to get up, several big feet, either barefoot, wearing straw sandals, or wearing broken boots, stepped on him one after another! The Qiang man with a broken hand couldn't get away at all, and the soil beside the water gate was not very solid. After struggling a few times, he was trampled into the ground alive.

  Before Xu Huang could take back his battle axe, a Qiang took a step forward, ignoring the sword cut by the guards beside Xu Huang, and slashed at Xu Huang's chest and abdomen with the sword like crazy!

   "Clang!"

   Hit it!

  The joy that just poured out from the bottom of my heart was instantly replaced by an icy cold.

  The Qiang people were surprised to see that their saber just splashed sparks on the surface of Xu Huang's armor, and then it was bounced off by the tough armor iron plate. The slash was hit, but it couldn't cause any damage to Xu Huang...

Xu Huang didn't even look at the Qiang man. He just retracted the battle axe and swung it sideways with his left forearm to knock it away. Strips of flesh were torn off the face, and the Qiang man's cheeks were instantly covered in blood and blood!

   Before the Qiang man covered his face and screamed, he was slashed to the ground by Xu Huang's guards. Cooperating with the spear and the sword shield, several personal guards rushed to Xu Huang's body and protected Xu Huang behind the shield wall so that Xu Huang could take two breaths.

  Xu Huang took a few steps back, put the battle ax on the ground, exhaled a long breath, and observed the battlefield. Because of the narrow view of the mask, he had to turn his head to see the entire battlefield...

  The gate of the village has been opened by the Qiang people, but Ma Chao’s cavalry did not come in for the time being because the horse pit in front of the gate had not been completely cleaned up in the future...

  Flocking into the camp, the Qiang people were forced to divide the camp into several areas because of the horses and carts connected in series, and they are crowding towards the water gate...

  The last batch of archers has already boarded the ship, and the ship began to slide along the rope to the opposite bank. It will take about a quarter of an hour for the next ship to dock...

   Hold on for another quarter of an hour!

"retreat!"

  Xu Huang gave a loud drink, and then patted the guard in front of him on the shoulder. The personal guard pressed forward knowingly with a shield or a weapon, then quickly parted to the sides, and retreated behind Xu Huang to make room for Xu Huang.

"kill!"

The battle ax touched the ground with a "buzz", took two calves, one thigh, and two or three scattered arms, soared into the air together with some spear heads and half-length swords, and then accompanied by Xu Huang's small-scale attack Turning around, stepping and twisting his waist, the tomahawk whizzed down again in a circle like lightning, splitting the heads and chests of five or six Qiang people in the half circle that was congested forward, and the blood gushed out like a volcano erupting suddenly !

  The extremely sturdy Xu Huang suddenly scared the Qiang people in the front row back suddenly, they would rather bump into the swords and guns of their own people behind than face Xu Huang's battle axe!

  The battlefield suddenly vacated a certain distance.

  Xu Huang was about to speak again to invite a fight, but his heart skipped a beat. With a twist of his wrist, he immediately covered the face of the battle axe in front of him.

   "Clang!"

  A bow and arrow came screaming, slammed into the ax face, and was blown away with a burst of flames! The force was so strong that Xu Huang's hands couldn't help shaking.

  Xu Huang looked through the mask, and saw a man sitting on a horse with a longbow at the gate of the camp. It was Ma Chao!
