More than 20,000 Qiang people did not form a riding formation. They were like wild horses charging wildly, shaking the entire wet earth into pieces of water.
"The enemy is attacking!" On the sentry tower set up in the Shu army camp on the edge of Prancing Horse Beach, an old captain with a bow on his back suddenly shouted, and then began to blow the warning ox-horn trombone.
"Array up, get into formation quickly! The front line is behind the horses, forming a wall of guns, and the back line is with foot bows, checking the launchers!" Yu Wen, who was wearing armor, was running back and forth in a hurry with a few generals.
"Yu Wen, be careful." Standing high up in the camp, Xu Mu looked calm.
"Lord, please watch me, Yu Wen, kill the enemy in front of the Prancing Horse Beach!"
"good!"
"My lord, I am a Qiang person."
Xu Mu frowned, the Daji Kingdom collapsed, and the foreign races from all directions were ready to move. Di people, barbarians, Qiang people, Rouran people... To a large extent, these foreign races accelerated the decline of the dynasty.
A simple sentence.
He likes foreign friends in prosperous times, but does not like foreign tigers and wolves in troubled times.
"Destroy the enemy!" The old captain on the arrow tower roared, took off his iron bow, and began to aim down.
In front of Prancing Horse Beach.
The sounds of the Qiang people roaring and fighting, one after another, are like spring thunder, deafening, piercing the eardrums and causing pain.
But as Xu Mu expected.
The first batch of invading Qiang people, who looked like two to three thousand horsemen, had just stepped onto the leaping horse beach, and their horse hooves sank in.
"Bow bow, shoot the arrow due north!"
"The Liennu Battalion listened to my military order and used a scattering formation to shoot down the Qiang dog army!"
hold head high--
In the first battle, two to three thousand Qiang people were suddenly thrown off their backs, shot to death, or trampled by the horse hooves of the rebels, turning into bloody meat paste.
Xu Mu suddenly felt unwilling. This scene was originally reserved for Dong Wen. This guy is very smart, sending out a lot of cannon fodder to protect against mines.
"Yu Wen, please keep your horse!" Xu Mu did not forget to warn him.
The foundation is so poor that even a cool horse is a rare commodity.
Countless Qiang cavalry screamed and died on the shoal under waves of bows and arrows.
Yu Dangwang, who was wearing a jeweled felt hat, looked anxious. This time, after finally entering Yumen Pass and stepping into the Central Plains, I was still counting on a wave of kills. This was good, but a lot of the warriors in the front line died inexplicably.
"Quickly, throw all the felt tents on the horse on the shoal, Baishi God! Bless our Qiang Heavenly Army!"
"Put away the scimitar, ride, ride and shoot!"
The Qiang people who came galloping behind took off their hanging short bows with a roar, nocked arrows, and shot them one after another, whistling.
"No, it's Qiang people riding and shooting!"
"The front is guarded with shields! The rear army is behind! The rear army takes shelter under the bamboo curtain car!"
The airtight Qiang people's riding and shooting seemed to cover the entire dark sky, and thousands of arrows were shot down fiercely.
If the rain curtain hadn't weakened in strength, it might have been a bit more powerful.
But even so, it is still very powerful.
The tiger shield was covered with Qiang arrows, and the bamboo-curtained carriage was even more terrifying, with two or three layers stacked on top of each other.
Xu Mu was shocked to see it. But at this moment, another idea suddenly came to my mind.
He is obsessed with heavy riding, but iron and stone materials are simply not available. The Qiang people's riding and shooting in front of him broadened his horizons.
Heavy cavalry is for tanking, light cavalry is for shooting.
Xu Mu clenched his fists, his face filled with suppressed joy.
"Yu Wen, let the army retreat a certain distance to avoid the Qiang people's mounted fire!"
"Lord, don't worry!"
Under the united will of the defenders, tens of thousands of Shu soldiers quickly opened a distance across the Prancing Horse Beach. I just waited for the Qiang to cross the Yuanma Beach before encircling and suppressing them.
There was no formation of more than 20,000 Qiang cavalry, they just roared towards them. Even after filling up the river sand without the horses' hooves, corpses still fell one after another.
"These cunning Central Plains people!" King Yu Dang looked furious. Riding and shooting cannot kill people, but these Shu people waited for the Qiang warriors to step onto the ford and shot them immediately.
Of course, he could have another choice, such as returning to retreat and not entangled with the Shu people.
But again, a person's greed may be limited, but a nation's greed is truly endless.
"Kill them all, the warriors of the White Stone God are about to enter the Central Plains!"
"The Qiang people have been ruined." Xu Mu said expressionlessly. This blockade from Yuanmatan was originally prepared for Dong Wen. He had put a lot of effort into controlling the terrain and laying out traps.
"Yu Wen, throw the bamboo spear!"
It's just equivalent to Wen's order. Shuzhou ambush troops in various positions roared, grabbed bamboo spears, and threw them on the Prancing Horse Beach.
Although the bamboo spear is slightly weaker than the crossbow, if it falls on the shallows, it can stop the horse better.
Thousands of Qiang people rushed into Yuanma Beach and suddenly shouted in panic. The original advantage of using felt tents to fill the beach suddenly disappeared.
"The shield array covers the infantry and bows. Advance a hundred steps and shoot the enemy!" One by one, Shuzhou's generals continued to direct the deployment of their troops.
The staggered arrows from bows and crossbows hit the countless Qiang cavalry trapped in the shallows, causing them to fall off their horses.
King Yu Dang looked shocked. After trembling, he began to plan to withdraw his troops. The Shu people in front of them were basically like an iron army, well organized and courageous in defeating the enemy.
"Shuzhou! General Poliang Han Jiu is here to help!"
At this time, behind the Qiang people, an army of more than 10,000 people began to attack.
…
"It's Han Jiu." Xu Mu frowned. Han Jiuchi came to the rescue, and he was certainly happy. But the problem is that Dong Wen's army of Liang people cannot be unprepared and let Han Jiu attack them in such a majestic manner.
"Liangzhou, it's time to retreat." In the carriage, Jia Zhou spoke in a deep voice.
"After learning of the defeat at the front of Yuguan, Sima Mao probably persuaded Dong Wen to retreat."
"Wenlong, what about these Qiang people?"
"It's just an army that cuts off the queen. Sima is so ruthless and scheming."
Xu Mu turned around and remained silent. If Dong Wen hadn't retreated, after Dongfang Jing's consecutive victories, he would have had the confidence to defeat the little crybaby and lose his armor.
But the little crying bag returned. This guy's ambitions are huge, and with the help of Sima Xiu, he may become a strong opponent in the competition.
"The power of Liangzhou's great victory has disappeared. My lord, don't worry, you have already won, and you have won the time for Shuzhou to accumulate food and make weapons."
"For a long time, Dong Wen should not dare to attack Shu easily."
"Wen Long's words are like enlightenment."
…
The sky turned to dusk, and under the dark twilight, the sound of fighting gradually subsided.
"Sons and people of the White Stone God!" King Yu Dang and his last hundred or so riders were surrounded and cornered.
Si Hu, who was finally able to take action, was immediately overjoyed when he saw King Yu Dang's tall horse. He grabbed hold of King Yu Dang's body and knocked him to the ground.
"King Yu." Xu Mu slowly stepped out of the passage.
"You should know who is treating you as the meat army of the Queen this time."
King Yu Dang stood up, trembling with anger.
"Send people back to the outside of the pass and send thousands of good horses. If you leave Shu, it will be... the money you paid for your life."
King Yudang paused, raised his head and looked ecstatic.
"Does King Shu really mean what he said?"
"Seriously." Xu Mu smiled. He didn't kill Yu Dangwang, it was not a woman's kindness. Although he wanted to get a good horse, but more importantly, if he asked Yu Dangwang to go back to the outside world, sooner or later he would have to fight with the little crybaby dog.
"Remember, there are ten thousand good horses, if one is missing, I will break your legs!"
King Yu Dang's face was painful, but he had no choice but to kowtow in panic.
…
"I heard that when the Yudang tribe came, there were 30,000 Qiang horses. But now, the Qiang horses we have gathered are less than 7,000. However, Bolie also gathered them over at Yuguan. With nearly 5,000 good horses, various weapons and armor, and food and baggage, it can be considered a rich harvest."
Jia Zhou smiled as he spoke.
"In this way, plus the previous reserve of war horses, if King Yudang sends another 10,000 horses, we in Shuzhou should have more than 30,000 war horses."
"Over there with the Ma Zhengsi, my lord, please be sure to advise us to feed them soybeans. If we can give birth to another batch of foals in autumn, our Shuzhou will be considered a cavalry state."
Xu Mu was happy to hear this. His Shuzhou seems to be growing stronger again.
