Three Kingdoms

The Hu girl's attack was not successful, because Xiahou Zijiang was not the only one in the tent, and the candlestick can indeed be used as a strike weapon, but it must be hit in the right place, like in TV movies, no matter what position it is. It is not very possible to knock the opponent unconscious and kill him with a random knock.

  In addition, Hu Nu was not an assassin herself, so no one paid attention to her when she was on the ground, but when she rushed out, she immediately attracted the attention of Xiahou Zijiang's guards.

  Xiahou Zijiang’s guards were warning and covering, making it impossible for Hu Nu to get close to Xiahou Zijiang. Naturally, there was no way to attack Xiahou Zijiang with the candlestick. In the end, they had to throw the candlestick out and hit Xiahou Zijiang on the forehead.

   Not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

  『Kill her! All killed! killed! 』Xiahou Zijiang covered his head, screaming in pain. There are abundant capillaries on the forehead, although it was only a small hole, but a lot of blood gushed out, it looked very miserable.

  Xiahou Zijiang's guards immediately drew their knives and slashed wildly, killing all the three bearded girls in the tent. But Xiahou Zijiang is still puzzled. In his consciousness, women are pets, tools, and slaves. Never mind how cheerful he was when he played poker with bearded women, but now these bearded women dare to hurt him!

This almost made Xiahou Zijiang lose his mind in rage. Seeing that Hu Nu died, he couldn't let go of his hatred, so he drew his knife and slashed until Hu Nu's head was chopped off, and then he kicked and flew away before he was panting and calmed down a little. down. The guard Xiahou Zijiang who was standing aside could only watch helplessly, he hardly dared to go up to persuade him, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, until Xiahou Zijiang finally stopped, he protected Xiahou Zijiang from Get out of the tent.

   But in this way, the delay will be longer...

  The barbarian cavalry on the side of Cao Jun, who is not under the command of anyone, is basically working without any effort.

Just like what Xiahou Zijiang said before, when they recruit Hu people, they don’t have any loyalty or disloyalty. Who, maybe the last stage was to fight against local rebellions, and the next stage became a bodyguard.

  Under such circumstances, these barbarian soldiers are actually very dependent on the command of the Han people. They move when they have an order, and they don’t even bother to move without an order. They even have to bargain when the order is issued. In addition, these barbarian soldiers are not completely without the concept of good and evil. Although they accepted the employment of Cao Jun, they actually don't quite agree with Xiahou Zijiang's behavior of slaughtering and humiliating nomadic herdsmen just to satisfy his personal desires. .

And Xiahou Zijiang couldn't get out of the tent for a long time, so these barbarian soldiers and horses naturally didn't work so hard, especially after seeing the power of these Han soldiers of Shi Bazhi, they just yelled and didn't come close, watching Fighting lively, running around, in fact, it was like the enemy advancing and retreating, Shi Bazhi ran wherever he went...

The Hu people did not work hard, and the cavalry of Cao Jun and the Han cavalry did not form an effective defense array because Xiahou Zijiang was delayed in the tent for too long. state. If Xiahou Zijiang is a powerful warrior, he might not be able to turn the tide, but Xiahou Zijiang is not, so after seeing this situation, even though the number of people is obviously larger than that of Shi Bazhi, he is still the same. Without hesitation, he gave a decisive order to retreat.

  So, under Xiahou Zijiang's order, the battle ended in just a quarter and a half.

Xiahou Zijiang didn't care about his ambitions at this moment, and all the excitement turned into anxiety and fear at this moment. He didn't know where Shi Bazhi came from, let alone why the hussars came here. The original thoughts that the hussars and horses were no big deal seemed to flow out with the blood on his forehead, and fell into the yellow sand.

  Shi Bazhi couldn't believe it when he saw this. Because even Shi Bazhi knew that the soldiers he led were the cavalry directly under Zhang Yun, and they were naturally elite, but even if they were brave and good at fighting, they would still face several times the number of enemy troops. , In the end, Shi Bazhi had no chance of winning in the end.

  According to the logic, one ride of an elite cavalry can be counted as five to ten steps, but when facing the same cavalry, it can only be counted as three to five rides. After all, if cavalry is fighting against infantry, if they can mobilize the infantry with their mobility and tear apart the formation, then even ten times or more infantry arrays are not enough for the cavalry to attack and trample, but the cavalry is different. The cavalry can run if they can't win, but in a short period of time, the speed of the cavalry on both sides is almost the same, and it is basically impossible to form a large-scale trampling effect.

   Therefore, cavalry against infantry, if the infantry array collapses, the infantry will often suffer heavy casualties, but cavalry against cavalry, cavalry array collapse, may not necessarily cause as many casualties as infantry.

   Just like now, Xiahou Zijiang ran away with people, but in fact, during the whole process, the number of casualties was not many.

  Shi Bazhi almost subconsciously wanted to chase him down, but he was persuaded by Zhang He's subordinates beside him, "The general has orders!" Be careful in ambush, don't chase! 』

Unlike Xiahou Zijiang, although Shi Bazhi felt unwilling, he would still obey Zhang Yun's orders, so Shi Bazhi and others gathered up the queue, and then followed Xiahou Zijiang in a leisurely chase without any hesitation. So it was a waste of horsepower and slashed wildly.

   What's interesting is that the ambush that Zhang He "anticipated" really "appeared"!

  Xiahoushang came with a large army, and Xiahou Zijiang met the retreating Xiahou Zijiang!

   After all, in the desert, the place where the smoke and dust rise is the best road sign.

  When Xiahou Zijiang saw Xiahoushang, he shouted without hesitation, "Brother, come and save me!" 』

  Xia Houshang's eyes twitched, and he cursed inwardly, aren't you capable? Why is he screaming like his tail was stepped on with blood all over his face now? But the problem was that Xia Houshang really couldn't say he would not save him, he could only curse inwardly, and then ordered to respond.

  Shi Bazhi saw that Xia Houshang and the others had arrived, and couldn't help but rein in their horses one after another, "The general really has a fortune! Bandit Cao set up an ambush! 』

  Because Zhang Yun had ordered to be careful before, Shi Bazhi and the others were also mentally prepared, and when they saw this, they turned around and ran back.

  Xiahou Zijiang is a dog-tempered man, when he sees his family members, he immediately becomes vigorous, rushes to Xiahoushang's side, and yells, "Catch up!" How dare you chase after and kill the young master! I really ate the gall of a leopard! Chase! kill them all! 』

Xia Houshang saw Shi Bazhi and others turned around and ran away. There were not many of them, so he couldn't help but have the desire to chase and kill him. Gaining some heads is more or less a meritorious service!

   It is a little hesitant to go head-to-head, but don’t you just have legs to chase and kill fleeing soldiers and horses?

  But Xia Houshang chased after him, so something felt wrong. Why don't these fleeing hussars get tired? Why does it look like these people's war horses don't consume much energy, and they still run so vigorously?

After chasing for a while, the distance was still not close, but the Cao cavalry in front suddenly made a huge noise, and Xia Houshang also raised his head and forgot, but he couldn't help being stunned, and his face turned pale. one slice!

  On the small soil bag on the side, I don’t know when a big flag was erected, with a big character waving in the wind!

"open"!

   Could it be Zhang He? !

  Xia Houshang suddenly jumped up in his heart, and then hurriedly issued an order, "The whole army is in formation!" 』

   Running any further is equivalent to giving up the ribs and buttocks to the hussars who suddenly appeared from the side. Or strictly speaking, the original colleagues...

Seeing Zhang Yun again, Xia Houshang's heart felt as if a stick had been directly stabbed into his heart, and then stirred up. The fragmented and messy memory residues surged up immediately, making his eyes a little cloudy and bloodshot. "traitor! Hateful, shameless traitor! 』

Later generations will always say that after breaking up, the two will be peaceful, or that they are happy to see others succeed at some class reunion, but in fact, those are all on the surface, or in movies and TV. In life, the vast majority of people have a normal state of mind, normal thinking...

  Xia Houshang looked up slightly, and saw Zhang Yun and others on the small slope, well-armored, even so well-equipped to a heinous level, he couldn't help feeling a little sour in his heart. Not to mention Zhang He's exquisite armor, even the cavalry guards next to Zhang He were all wearing full-body scale armor that only generals could afford, plus wearing a hood with some red tassels on top. For decoration, as for the collar and shoulders, there are not many, the armor skirt hangs down to the knees, and even the sides of the leather boots seem to be inlaid with a few pieces of iron, it's like writing arrogance on the face , Wear it on the body!

  Looking at the war horses Zhang Yun and others are riding, they are not only tall, but also wearing horse clothes. There are also leather armors in the middle of the horse's face and around the neck of the horse!

  Looking at the other party, and then at himself, Xia Houshang seemed to feel the malice towards him from the whole world...

  Why?

   Back then, your surname was Zhang, and you still wanted to obey me!

   And now...

  Suddenly, Xia Houshang felt that he had mixed feelings and thoughts.

  Xia Houshang remained silent. Some of the surrounding Cao Jun knew Zhang He, and some didn't, but no matter whether he knew him or not, he could still be seen by his clothes. Originally, I thought that my home was already well-equipped, but when I compared it now, I suddenly felt that my panting sound was three points lower!

  Cao Jun’s cavalry is actually more of a light cavalry type. Most people only have two armors, and military academies are better, and they can probably be assigned sleeve armors, and only the generals who go up to the rank can have full-body armors. Of course, the equipment gap of Cao Jun's cavalry is due to many reasons, not only the factors of money, but also the division of classes, the weight of the horses and so on.

Therefore, most of Cao Jun’s cavalry are only vest-like leather armor, with bows, arrows, and short knives. For accessories, there are two short capes on the upper body, just to protect the upper arms. Most of them will carry spears, which are used to charge frontally to disperse or split the enemy's formation.

As for the recruited Hu Qi, they basically don’t care about their armor, and some have armor, but most Hu Qi have no armor, like consumables. Immunity to damage.

Xia Houshang had heard of and even seen hussar cavalry before, but he always believed that people like Zhang He, after going to the hussars, were consumables just like the barbarian cavalry under him. Yes, so at most it is meaning, it is impossible to have any sophisticated equipment...

   Now it seems that not only people have armor, but even horses have armor!

  The key is that these war horses look taller than those under their crotch!

  It's like executives meeting dandyism, 18th-line small Internet celebrities meeting big stars with capital and goods.

  In fact, in the Han Dynasty, there are several chains of suppression in terms of force. Shandong people are afraid of Kansai people, and then southerners are afraid of northerners. Generally, Hu people are afraid of Wuhuan and other medium tribes, and then Wuhuan and others are afraid of Xianbei...

  The fear here is the psychological weakness before the fight. It's like every time Jiangdong wants to fight Jiangbei, he hasn't fought much yet, but a bunch of people oppose it.

   Of course, in terms of literature, Shandong people claim to be the best in the world, and they are unparalleled in the world. However, since the Qinglong Temple was established, there seemed to be some problems, but as long as Qinglong Temple was left aside, Shandong was still number one in literature.

The cavalry directly under Zhang Xi's command now has the taste of "mounted cavalry", but it is not a purely armored cavalry. After all, the heavy armored cavalry is too heavy. Sprinting back and forth one or two times, although the explosive power of the battle is ridiculously strong, the fuel consumption is also ridiculously high.

  Therefore, only Gan Feng has full heavy armored cavalry. As for Zhang He, Zhao Yun and others, most of them use simplified versions of armored cavalry. Of course, Zhang Xi and others were able to use armored cavalry not only because they had armor and horses, but also because of a very hidden improvement point, that is, their stirrups were specially made to enlarge...

The original stirrup was just a simple hanging ring, and the feet were hung into it. In many cases, the cavalry had to clamp the horse with their legs to prevent themselves from falling off the horse. The consumption is too great. If there is no such special wide stirrups, the waist and legs will consume too much after a long time, so that they will lose their strength. Only the wide and special stirrups that provide support for the soles of the feet can make the rider fully able to ride on the horseback. Instead of using a little iron ring on the sole of the foot to exert force.

   Zhang He looked at his old colleague, then pulled down his mask silently, then raised his spear, and rode his horse straight down the small slope!

   Cao Jun's cavalry suddenly went into chaos!

  He has a psychological shadow, like a jackal at the low end of the food chain, suddenly seeing a tiger and leopard at the top of the food chain, he doesn't need to fight, and his legs are weak by three points! Coupled with Zhang Yun's high force, these ordinary Cao cavalry did not dare to overwhelm the enemy's edge. It is reasonable to collapse instantly when they encounter Zhang Yun and other armed cavalry.

Seeing that Zhang He and the others were very brave and their armored cavalry were extremely sharp, Xia Houshang was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. When he was in a panic, he even forgot to count how many troops Zhang He had, but he saw that Zhang He's cavalry was like a horse. It appeared endlessly from the small slope, and then rushed down in waves, like tens of thousands of troops hidden behind the small slope, but they didn't even dare to stay for a moment, just turned around and ran away, of course It's not clear that Zhang He is actually not as many people as he looks, and after a few waves, the dirt **** is gone...

   Not to mention, Xiahou is worthy of being Xiahouyuan's relative, more or less has the ability to rush, especially in the matter of escaping.

In fact, Zhang Xi did not directly cause many casualties. After the battle, it was counted that only 20 or 30 people died directly under the swords and guns, but the number of casualties caused by Cao Jun's own collision and trampling was ten times this number. Not only that.

It's just that Zhang Yun had brought his men down to inspect the army camp, so there weren't many people there at all, so even if he saw Xia Houshang and others fleeing, he couldn't say that he would continue to hunt them down. After chasing for a mile or two, he collected the horses , strolled back.

   While clearing up the battlefield and on the way back, in Zhang Yun's view, these Xiahou army horses were obviously coming for the army stronghold. In Zhang Yun's mind, the army village is the tentacles of Hussars in the Northern Territory. Cao Jun obviously wanted to lure the people from the army village to attack, and then set up an ambush!

   This is because Cao Jun couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to make trouble!

  Cao Jun made the first move!

   Zhang Yun led his troops to turn around, and he wanted to report this matter to Zhao Yun...

   But what's interesting is that on Cao Jun's side, Xia Houshang also thought the same way. The hussars are going to make trouble, and it's the hussars who are going to make the first move!

Xia Houshang was still worried that there was some discrepancy. He not only asked Xiahou Zijiang, but also asked the soldiers who followed Xiahou Zijiang in detail, and finally came to the conclusion that Xiahou Zijiang did not provoke the hussars at all. Just fought a small nomadic tribe, and then encountered the attack of hussars!

  In this way, it was indeed the hussars who made the first move!

  The traitor Zhang He planned all this!

   This traitor must want to attack the rear camp of Cao Jun! They even want to attack Yuyang!

   It can't be said that Zhao Yun, the Northern Territory Governor of Hushi, is behind him!

   It's over, Hussars are coming!

   This is the hussars making the first move!

   Call for help, call for help now!

  Fortunately, I was smart and extremely vigilant, and saw through Huqi's tricks, all of which were my credit! Xia Houshang worked hard to write, and after he finished writing, he looked at it again, thought for a while, then brought up the pen, and added a few sentences at the end, after all, he wanted to share a little bit with Xiahou Zijiang, to take care of Xiahou Dun's face...
