"Why die? I haven't lived enough yet..." Ma Long slapped Ma Cheng hard, but it affected the wound on his back, making him grimace in pain.
Since the battle, almost everyone in the city has been injured, and the two generals, Ma Cheng and Ma Long, are no exception. Ma Cheng has a gash on his face, and his appearance may be disfigured in the future.
However, when soldiers fight on the battlefield, they rely on the things in their hands to make a living, not on their faces.
Ma Long was in a worse situation. In order to protect Ma Cheng, who was the general, he did not notice the sneak attack of a Qiang soldier behind him, and was hit hard on the back.
However, these are not important. What is important is that they don't seem to have to die.
Yes, they should not have to die.
Because, reinforcements appeared...
……………………
"Woo!--Woo! Woo!"
To the northwest of Dingyi City, a thundering horn sound sounded, and a cavalry rushed in like a whirlwind, with iron hoofs thundering on the ground.
"The Qiang barbarians invaded my homeland and slaughtered my relatives. Brothers, blood for blood, tooth for tooth, kill, kill all these Qiang barbarians!"
"Ding, Han Qinhu Yama's skill is activated..."
"He was a general during his lifetime, and after his death he was regarded as the King of Yama." This sentence refers to Sui Dynasty and Han Qinhu.
When Wei Zheng was compiling the "Book of Sui", he recorded Han Qinhu's statement that he was the Lord of Hell. Therefore, Han Qinhu's statement that he "became the King of Yama after his death" can be traced in the history books.
The "Book of Sui" compiled by Wei Zheng and others records that on the eve of his death, the old woman next to him saw that the ceremony at his door was very grand, just like the palace. The old woman felt strange and asked them.
Someone among them replied: "I have come to greet the king." Suddenly he disappeared. Another person was very ill and walked to Han Qinhu's house in a daze and said: "I want to see the king." The people on the left and right asked: "What king?" The answer was: "King Yama." Han Qinhu's attendants They wanted to beat him, but Han Qinhu stopped them and said: "I have achieved Shangzhu Kingdom during my lifetime, and I will be the King of Yama after my death. I am very satisfied." As a result, he fell ill and died within a few days.
The "Twenty-Four Histories" contain many taboos about ghosts and gods, and rarely record stories about the Yin and Yang realms. However, the legend that Han Qinhu died and became the King of Yama was actually recorded in this biography. This shows that this legend was quite popular in the early Tang Dynasty. .
As the team advanced, under the leadership of the general, the soldiers' voices of hatred pierced the sky, filled with the spirit of iron-blooded killing. At the same time, they raised their weapons high and accelerated the charge.
Han Qinhu raised his portable knife and slashed at him. Relying on the sprinting power of the horse, the broadsword actually cut the intruder's throat. The poor Qiang soldier fell down, and a blood-stained head rose into the sky.
A Qiang soldier on the right slashed at him with a sword. Han Qinhu dodged back and kicked the Qiang soldier down on top of another Qiang soldier.
Immediately afterwards, several Qiang cavalry rushed over. Han Qinhu stabbed left and right to block, pushing the two men off their horses.
"Ding, affected by Han Qinhu Yanluo's skill effect three, the entire army's force is +1."
The three thousand cavalry howled like wolves and launched a brave charge. The target was the side and rear of the Qiang coalition army, which was also the weakest point. They were like hungry wolves catching prey and biting towards the throat!
"The Han army is coming. Quickly organize your formation and be sure to stop them..."
"Warriors of the White Horse Tribe, the souls of your ancestors are protecting you, and the power of your ancestors is running through you. Kill these abominable Han people..."
The Qiang coalition forces did not give in vain. Under the command of several tribal leaders, they quickly mobilized their troops to fill the weaknesses on the sides and rear, and launched a desperate counterattack!
There is no time to arrange, it is a dense cavalry charge, which is the most common tactic on the grassland, with war horses against war horses, with blades against blades, whoever has a faster horse, a sharper sword, and a ruthless heart will win!
Not every battle involves so much intrigue and skill. Sometimes, what is needed is this most primitive fight, and what is needed is also this most primitive fight.
When the sword sees blood, either you die or I die.
"Kill!--Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"
"Go to hell, all of you! - Go meet your ancestors!"
The cavalry teams on both sides were like two sharp spears, colliding hard together. People turned on their backs, blood spattered, and screams came one after another. Countless corpses and wounded soldiers fell to the ground, and were trampled into a pile by horse hooves. The pile of minced meat looks appalling!
While the cavalry were charging and fighting each other, there was no chance of falling off their horses. Once you fall off your horse midway, there is a 90% chance that you will be trampled into a pile of flesh by your companions following behind.
The companions at the rear will not move their horses to go around just because they are in front of them. A pause will waste the horsepower accumulated during the run. For one person, there is no such reason.
What's more, the inertia in the charge makes it impossible to stop most of the time.
Unexpectedly, the numerous Qiang coalition forces were defeated step by step. Under the leadership of Han Qinhu, three thousand cavalry rushed through the enemy formation like a red-hot knife cutting butter. Falling flowers and flowing water, wherever the golden wolf-headed flag went, the enemies fell one by one...
There is a reason for this. Men and horses from various tribes such as Shaodang and Baima have been besieging Dingyi City for seven days. They suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted. Their combat effectiveness was less than half of usual. In addition, they fought in a hurry. In a hurry, they naturally recruited I can't stand it anymore.
Although Han Qinhu's men and horses were small, they were a fresh force without any damage, and the weapons and equipment of the Jin army were far beyond what these Qiang people could compare with. Under the circumstances, Han Qinhu had the absolute upper hand as soon as he made his move.
"Haha, God bless, our reinforcements have finally arrived. Good sons of the Han family, drive the Qiang people down!"
Seeing that the city was destroyed and they were dead, reinforcements suddenly appeared. The morale of the Han army in the city was greatly boosted, and they launched a ferocious counterattack. They chopped with swords and axes and fought desperately, and actually suppressed the Qiang people. Ma Cheng led dozens of warriors , even took back the city gate and closed it again.
Although the reinforcements have arrived, the defenders in the city have been almost damaged, and they no longer have the strength to cooperate with Han Qinhu who came to support him to launch a counterattack.
At this time, the most important thing is to have the soldiers close the city gate as soon as possible. Otherwise, once these Qiang people flood into the city, even if Han Qinhu can repel the Qiang people in the end, the people in the city will inevitably suffer unbearable losses at that time.
Since Ma Cheng is the chief general guarding Dingyi City, he must put the people of Dingyi City first and not let the people in the city fall into crisis.
