Chapter 265: Chicken and Lusai (5)

Cheriji was originally the small king of Qiang.

In the first year of Zhongping, Cherigi's father was bewitched by Beigong Boyu and rebelled and was ordered to attack Wuwei.

However, their luck was not very good.

When attacking Wuwei, he was attacked by Ma Teng, who was a minor official in Wuwei at that time. Cheriji's father was even carried by Ma Teng. After that, the small king of Qiang fled from Wuwei to the north, and was defeated by Xianling Qiang and fled to Longxi. In Longxi, he was attacked by Dong Yue, a general under Niu Fu. There were only less than a thousand people left in the Qiang.

Cherigi, who was eighteen years old at the time, was as anxious as a dog who was stranded.

He brought his remnants back to Anding from Longxi, and then fled from Shizui Mountain to Liangzhou and to Shuofang.

At that time, Cheriji still remembered the miserable appearance. But it was the day of escape that made him grow from a little king who was greedy for pleasure to a real Qiang king step by step. Later, he was recommended by Yu Fuluo and defected to Huchuquan's command. Only then did he settle down outside the border and have a place to settle down.

Cheriji dared not forget the past miserable defeat day and night.

For six years, Cheriji practiced martial arts hard every day in order to one day be able to return to Qiangzhong.

Nowadays, Cheriji is a successful martial arts master and is one of the most trustworthy generals under Hu Chuquan's command.

After receiving a request for help from Yu Fuluo, Huchuquan immediately ordered Cheriji to lead 10,000 troops from his headquarters to take over the vanguard force to seize Jilusai in order to ensure that the army can enter Shuofang smoothly and maintain the peace of the tribes in Shuofang area.

Cherigi naturally responded to his orders and couldn't wait.

Because he had a foreseeable feeling that this would be an opportunity for him to make achievements. If he could seize it, the Qiang and Qiang would have the possibility of returning to his hometown.

After traveling all the way from Mobei to night, Cheriji led his men into Yinshan.

Go further forward, you can reach Da Dagou. It was from here that Cherigi passed through Yinshan and arrived in the northern desert.

It's been six years!

When Cherigi led his troops back along the road of that year, the feelings in his heart were really hard to express in words.

"Tell the three armies to quickly pass through the dam ditch."

Cherigi tightened the steel gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "The pioneers must arrive at Jilusai before dark. Anyone who has delays will be killed on the spot."

"Here!"

The generals responded in unison and led the troops to accelerate.

When we were about to arrive at Dabagou, someone suddenly came to report that there were Han troops stationed in front of Dabagou.

Cheriji was stunned and thought to himself: How could there be a Han army stationed in Dabagou?

“How many people are there?”

"There are only a few hundred people in the general."

"Who is leading the army?"

"The big banner says Han'an Beiwei Army Qu... but I can't find out who the other party's chief is."

Koji?

This is a rare surname. Cheriji was relieved. If the general's surname was Dong, Ma, or Huangfu, Cheriji might be worried. The Dong and Ma families beat him in Liangzhou to a very miserable state. Huangfu is a prominent family and is quite famous. Cheriji dare not take the people of the Huangfu family too lightly.

In his opinion, no one except the above three companies is his opponent.

I guess that Han army was just a coincidence.

"I will order it to pass through the Dadam ditch quickly. If the Han army does not go to war, ignore it. If you want to block the chariot with your mantis arm, you will quickly annihilate it."

"The king is very knowledgeable!"

A side-straitor couldn't help but step forward and slapped Cherigi's flattery, "The mantis arm blocks the car, this is really good."

When Cherigi heard this, he couldn't help but feel proud.

This is the words he heard from Hu Chuquan. It was really extraordinary when he used them today.

I couldn't help but feel even more arrogant and rushed towards the dam.

This Dam Gully is a flat land that can accommodate thousands of horses to gallop. When the Xianbei army arrived at the Dam Gully, the Han army had already lined up to block the Xianbei army's way. The equipment of this Han army was very strange, all wearing strange-style heavy armor and covered helmets, crossing the exit of the Dam Gully. In the front row, there were about 200 people standing in front of the formation.

The big flag was flying in the wind, pinched the gold edges, walked the silver thread, wrote to Han'an Protectorate, pardoned the Beiwei Army, and the word "Qu" in the middle was big.

Toriki frowned. Although the other party's equipment was strange, he didn't feel afraid.

After all, there are ten thousand people on our side and only a few hundred people on the other side. With such a small amount of troops, I want to block my cavalry?

"Roar over and ignore them!"

The Xianbei knights immediately let out sharp howls and swarmed up.

A group of sharp arrows shot towards the strange man and horse. But the Han army did not panic. The front row suddenly retreated, and the back row took a step forward. The formation changed inadvertently. Everyone was holding a giant shield more than one person in their hands, shouting in unison, and smashing the shield to the ground with a sharp edge. The shield was sank and was buried in the ground.

A row of solid shield walls suddenly appeared.

On the surface of the big shield, there are rows of sharp spikes standing upright. As long as you hit it, you will have at most breath left if you don’t die.

This is a heavy infantry shield designed by Dong Qi based on principles such as hook inlay. It cannot be used by people with infinite strength.

It is precisely because of this that the shield soldier has become the most difficult to choose. It not only requires martial arts, but also requires physical fitness and strength. The shield is equipped with a special long sword made by Zhangye Generals. It is all five feet long and has a sharp edge on both sides. It weighs 25 kilograms and has extremely fierce lethality. It cannot be used by those who are not skilled in martial arts and have strong physiques.

Seeing that there were still 150 steps away, the archers four hundred meters behind the shield began to fight back.

All of them were hard bows of about three stones. The arrows were transformed and had blood grooves, and their penetration was very powerful.

Nearly a hundred people fell down in an instant when the Xianbei people rushed in front. The war horses neighed, the knights wailed, and the horse's hooves stomped over the injured, and the entire formation couldn't help but stagnate. A distance of 150 steps, hundreds of people fell down.

The dead, the blood, and the whine of the war horses not only failed to stop the Xianbei people from advancing, but instead made them even more fierce.

When fighting, how can there be no reason for not killing people?

They all knew the combat effectiveness of the Han army very well, first with archers and then with spearmen.

However, the formation of this Han army was a bit strange, and it actually ranked the least powerful shield soldiers at the forefront. Even if you are powerful, how long can you resist?

Therefore, although his companions kept falling down, the Xianbei people did not stop there.

Seeing that it approached thirty steps, all the archers suddenly put down their hard bows, picked up the crossbow from the ground, and took a step forward.

The steel crossbow flew out from the gap between the big shield.

The bead-like steel crossbow, with huge penetration force, penetrated into the war horse and the knight's body, causing a series of shrill screams. Blood splattered, refracting the strange light in the sunlight. The weeds on the roadside were instantly dyed red.

Qu Yi, who was supervising the army in the back army, sneered repeatedly.

With such weapons, what can I do if I have thousands of troops? What's more...

"Shooting the crossbow... don't stop!"

Rows of bowmen instantly turned into crossbowmen. After one round of shooting, the second row of crossbowmen followed.

Although it was only thirty steps away, it caused heavy losses to the Xianbei people. If you want to pass through the dam ditch, you must rush through this line of defense. A soldier who avoided the steel crossbow rushed forward, but saw the large shield suddenly tilting backward, forming a forty-five-degree angle. The spike more than one foot long on the shield immediately penetrated the body of the war horse, causing a shrill scream.

Cherigi was confused...

I have never seen such a military force, such a tactic, and I have never heard of such a weapon.

Is it a concurrent crossbow? It doesn't look very similar. But the lethality is so powerful, it's simply unheard of.

He was confused, but his cavalry was not confused and continued to launch a fierce attack on the Dam Gully.

The iron shield kept shaking back and forth. Spears, long spears, pierced or swept across the screen, leaving behind a corpse in front of the shield wall.

It is impossible to calculate how many people died in front of the shield wall.

In short, all under Torrigi's command was crowded on this river, making the originally spacious place very crowded all of a sudden.

Facing the rounds of cavalry attacks, the Beiwei Army retreated regularly.

Before he could withdraw, dozens of corpses would fall into a pool of blood. As time went by, Cherigi gradually gained an advantage.

At this moment, a horn suddenly echoed in the valley.

Immediately afterwards, two teams rushed out from both sides of the valley and entered Cheriji's formation from the rear. The general led by the leader, holding the Xuanhua axe, shouted loudly, and as if he was cutting through the waves, he came towards Cheriji who was standing under the big flag.

The Xianbei people were startled by the sudden attack. Before they could react, they saw the shield player suddenly pulling out a long sword from the shield and overturning the shield. All the archers also held shields and rushed towards the cavalry formation.

But I saw a long sword and a cold light shining.

The Beiwei Army swung this special long sword and made earth-shaking shouts, which forced the Xianbei people to retreat repeatedly.

The swords and guns were seen on the armor, and the soldiers of Beiwei were not hurt at all.

It was like a team of bulldozers rushing in the chaos, the cold light flashed, and a bunch of hot blood splattered in the air, like flowers blooming in the north wind.

The ground has long been soaked in blood and has become muddy...

Seeing that the situation was not good, Torrigi was about to collect the troops and form a formation and fight again. This was also a big problem he had made. From the beginning, the entire army could not form a cavalry formation, so when he encountered a sudden attack, he was all in a mess.

Xu Huang took the lead and rushed under the flag.

The big axe slashed at Cheriji fiercely and shouted loudly: "Thief, come your life!"

Cheriji didn't care about rectifying the troops and fought with Xu Huang. But in this way, the Xianbei people became even more messy.

After about twenty rounds of battle, when the two horses were kicking in the wrong way, Xu Huang beat the rhino and knocked Cheriji down with an axe.
