Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 923 Fighting Chang'an (9)

  Thick smoke rose, not only as a warning to the camp, but also as if it sounded the prelude to the crazy attack of Xiliang soldiers!

  Li Meng had just led the cavalry around the rear of the Tupo camp, and Wang Fang had already rushed to the vicinity with his infantry, and had already started to line up.

  Wang Fang raised his arms and shouted sharply: "Sword and shield hand forward! Archers spread their wings! Ready to shoot..."

  The sound of clattering armor blades and the shouting of soldiers followed one after another, like a passionate symphony that started a large ensemble of many instruments.

The infantry of the Xiliang Army swarmed up, spread out a half-moon formation, and rushed towards Fei Qian's camp, while Li Meng's cavalry, also at the side and rear of the camp, rushed out a lot of lasso With his hand, he galloped towards the **** obliquely, and began to prepare to take the wood of the camp, and pulled out a few holes.

"shoot!"

In the camp, accompanied by the sound of drums, and a loud shout, many bowstrings vibrated at the same time, with a buzzing sound, arrows were thrown from above and below, like a group of blood-sucking long-legged mosquitoes suddenly appearing in the sky , and then became bigger and bigger, chasing human flesh and blood with a long sharp beak.

   "Whoosh!"

  The Xiliang soldiers held their shields high, and heard crackling on the shields. The black arrow shafts and white wings immediately grew a layer on the shields, just like hedgehogs.

   "Whoosh!"

In a place where the shield couldn't cover, a Xiliang soldier was hit by an arrow on his foot, which immediately penetrated and hit the ground. The soldier was so painful that he couldn't even lift his foot and fell to the ground, but Before he could stand up or pull out the arrow, countless big feet had already stepped on him from behind. He struggled a few times at first, but soon he lay down on the ground and was silent again.

The dense arrows shot on the shield, crackling, and shot on the body of the soldier. If it was a leather armor or a part without armor, it basically pierced through, bringing out a lot of blood. Of course, some of them were shot by the soldiers The iron armor blocked it, and the sharp arrows knocked on the iron sheet to make a clanging sound, accompanied by miserable howls from time to time, like a concerto representing death.

  The Xiliang army's infantry's attack formation was stagnant, and Wang Fang couldn't help being a little surprised. He didn't expect Fei Qian to have so many archers! More importantly, there are so many arrows!

You must know that most of these arrows are one-time consumables. The density is at least five hundred, or even eight hundred people's bows and arrows are shot at the same time. After seven or eight rounds of throwing, That is, thousands of arrows were shot out...

  Fortunately, the archers also need to recover and rest a little after the rapid throwing. Wang Fangfang yelled without losing the opportunity: "Drumming! Drumming! Go up! Go up!"

   Immediately, the sound of war drums sounded even more intensely, urging all Xiliang soldiers to move forward. Wang Fang knew that only when he attracted enough attention could Li Meng's cavalry make a gap in the rear. Great time to attack!

  Li Meng also knew this, so even though he was shot by arrows at several cavalry who came forward to lasso, he still urged more cavalry to pick up the lasso and pull the wooden wall of the camp.

The wooden walls that are simply riveted together cannot be easily shaken by manpower, but when a few horses or even a dozen horses are pulled together, the riveted parts of the iron nails used to connect them slowly begin to deform, and then After being pulled, the gap became bigger and bigger, and with the creaking and tooth-piercing sound, finally a few wooden stakes were pulled out, and then Xiliang soldiers tore out a few gaps in the wooden wall of the camp!

  The Xiliang soldiers immediately cheered loudly, and their momentum suddenly rose!

  ************************

  Thirty miles away from Sucheng, Zhang Liao stood on the hillside, looking at the three black smoke that went straight to the sky, and immediately shouted: "There are all of them! Get on the horse and set off! Hurry up!"

After Zhang Liao arrived in Diaoyin, one relied on his previous friendship with Baishi Qiang, and the other relied on the trade between Fei Qian and the Qiang people, so when recruiting Qiang cavalry, it didn't take much. , but now most Qiang people still need to take care of the livestock in the tribe, otherwise the number may be even more.

  But now, the number of 800 riders is not bad for Zhang Liao who has just gained a foothold on Fei Qian's side.

  With the men and horses, it was only a matter of one or two decent battles to prove his strength, so Zhang Liao was extremely conflicted about looking forward to the signal ahead.

Last night, the messenger came to say that if he saw black smoke rising, he must immediately lead the army to rescue the camp in front, but Zhang Liao was not completely clear about the specific arrangement, so Zhang Liao still thought that Fei Qian was still in the camp, so this The emergence of this situation also means that Fei Qian may be in danger...

  Although this possibility is not too great.

   Half an hour!

   Thirty miles away!

   Zhang Liao was quite confident in defending against the attack of Xiliang soldiers after seeing the prepared materials. That kind of high-intensity individual crossbow machine is simply a nightmare for cavalry or dense infantry fronts.

   Victory shouldn't be a big problem, it's just a matter of more or less damage.

Thirty miles, the cavalry ran for about half an hour. Of course, it is impossible to use all the power to heat up the horse's body, but the horse's stamina should not be consumed too much, causing it to lose strength during the battle. This is the most basic command of the cavalry. Work done.

  Zhang Liao whistled, calling for the recruited Qiang cavalry to gallop forward together. In order to reduce the ability of being discovered by enemy troops in the distance, loud drums or horns should not be used as much as possible. Of course, the only thing that can work to cover up the smoke and dust is the terrain...

Now is the time to show his strength. As he galloped forward, Zhang Liao touched the bow and arrow bag on the side of the horse's back, adjusted it to the most comfortable position, and then turned his head and shouted: "Brothers Baishi! Where am I?" There are still three altars of good wine! Today I will give them to the three most brave warriors of Baishi!"

The Qiang people are the most good wine, and they will feel uncomfortable if they don’t drink a few bowls when they meet. If the guests come and don’t drink, it is an insult to the host. Therefore, I heard that there are three jars of good wine. Facing the appetite of the Qiang people, many people immediately whistled loudly in response to Zhang Liao, and their morale improved a lot for a while.

  Zhang Liao swung his spear, laughed loudly and shouted: "Come on! Besides the good wine, let's compete again. If anyone kills more than me, I will wash his horse today!"

   "Lieutenant Zhang! Maybe you have to wash a lot of horses today! Hahaha!"

   Eight hundred Qiang cavalry followed behind Zhang Liao, roaring towards the south...
