Chapter 5 The sudden change in the situation Section 7(1/2)
Xian Yufu visually measured the distance between the two sides, and then made a gesture to the Lingqi soldiers beside him.
The roar on the battlefield is so loud that not to mention face-to-face speeches, even the sound of war drums is drowned in the sound of the galloping hooves of war horses.
Wen Chou was closely watching the Central Army Order Flag behind. Their sight was blocked by the tall giant shield. The soldiers knew nothing about the enemy's movements except for the trembling of the ground and the huge roar filled their ears. The dynamics of the battlefield were completely speculated by the changes of the Central Army Order Flag. Wen Chou saw that the Central Army Order Flag had changed color, and immediately shouted at the Order Flag soldiers beside him. Several Order Flag soldiers were shaking the horn flags that were preparing to shoot in the square formation.
In the square formation, two thousand archers raised their strong bows in their hands.

The two sides are one hundred and fifty steps apart.

Xian Yufu raised his arms and shouted wildly: "Let it go..."
In front of the formation, thousands of flags swayed in the air.
Seven square formations, 14,000 archers, almost at the same time, fired arrows.
In an instant, the arrows were like rain, and the arrows were like locusts, and the sky was dark.
Qiang and Hu cavalry rushed towards them. When they saw arrows roaring in the sky, they immediately bent over to get the shield. The shield rose and the arrow arrived. With the sound of dull arrowheads entering their bodies, the war horses neighed miserably, Qiang soldiers howled, and people and animals rushed to the ground one after another. Countless horse hooves that were rising and falling immediately trampled them into blood and blood.
Long arrows were flying in the air, covering up the sunshine in the sky.
The Qiang cavalry army was speeding, and countless casualties were killed or injured.
June thunder raised his knife and roared: "Run...Speed up and rushed past..."
No one heard what he was calling. Facing the long arrows roaring in front of him, the Qiang soldiers felt fear and despair. The arrow formation was too dense, as dense as a storm, making people have nowhere to hide. More and more Qiang soldiers fell from their arrows, and more and more war horses flew out of the sky. The enemies within the range of strong bows had no hope of survival. They could only wait helplessly for the arrival of the god of death.
The northwestern rain of Ganlang Qiang led the knights to take the lead in rushing out of the arrow formation. They let out an angry roar, quickly urged the war horses, and quickly approached within 80 steps of the Han army's infantry formation.
Xian Yufu shouted loudly: "Tell Lord Yu, ask their square array to be ready to hit."
"Order all the bow and crossbow camps of the square formation to shoot intensively at close range."
In the square formation, Wen Chou reached out to hold Zhang He for a moment, and smiled and said, "Goodbye if I die."
Zhang He nodded and said, "Take care."
"Let's go..." The two looked back and shouted, each rushing towards the front line to block the position with a group of swords and axes.
Liu He looked extremely nervous. He widened his eyes, grabbed the horse's reins tightly with both hands, looked at the battlefield with all his body, shouting wildly: "It's approaching, it's approaching, it's hitting, it's hitting..."
"Boom...boom..."
The soldiers of Ganlang Qiang rode their horses and flew towards the giant shield with bloody mouths. The giant spears suddenly rushed out, revealing their ugly faces, and devouring fresh lives without hesitation. Blood burst, rushing, hitting, and dying. Countless Qiang soldiers rushed out of the arrow formation. They gritted their teeth and struck the Han army's square formation with hatred. The Qiang and Hu cavalry were like a group of wild wolves with red eyes, attacking and tearing around the huge prey. Behind them was a mess of bloody wreckage of humans and animals.
The sound of killing shook the sky. The sound of war drums soared into the sky, shaking the sky.
The giant shield shattered, and three shield soldiers were killed alive. One of them was flying in the air and smashed heavily into Wen Chou's eyes. The blood spurted out from the mouth of the dead soldiers dyed the sword in Wen Chou's hand red. Wen Chou rushed out and rushed out against the enemy's spear. The enemy's spear stabbed with the force of the impact of the war horse with thunder. Wen Chou turned and pointed the sword at the neck of the galloping horse and chopped it down. The war horse neighed. Wen Chou's sword turned horizontally and cut off the enemy's thigh immediately. The war horse jumped up and threw the horse knight down. Wen Chou shouted loudly, soared into the air, and chopped off the enemy's rolling body in the air.
Wen Chou held the enemy's bloody head in one hand, raised the knife in the other hand, looked back and shouted: "Kill the enemy out..."
The roar on the battlefield gradually weakened, the arrow clouds in the sky gradually became thinner, and the bloody battle became even more fierce and fierce.

The kingdom received a request for help from June Thunder. At this time, his army had just withdrawn from the siege position.
"So, the Leopard's cavalry did not appear on the battlefield?" Huang Yan said slowly with a finger on the map. "Leopard might want to use their infantry to entangle the June Thunder at the East Gate, and then lure us into division of troops to support him. He then raided us with cavalry."
Wang Guo patted the map on the ground and said with a smile: "He only had a few people, what kind of tricks can he make? I think, I asked Nie Xiao to take Huangzhong Qiang to the East Gate to support June Jinglei. Seventy thousand cavalry fight tens of thousands of infantry, and it should be easy to capture, and there is no big problem."
Huang Yan shook his head and said, "You are always so careless, thinking that the Qiang cavalry is invincible in the world. In the spring of the first year of Jianning, Duan Jiming led 13,000 troops and more than 30,000 troops to fight with the seventeen Qiang tribes in Fengyi Mountain. What was the result? Duan Yan led his troops to successfully defeat the Qiang people, beheaded more than 8,000 levels, and seized 280,000 cattle, horses and sheep." Huang Yan looked at the kingdom and said, "Although the leopard's storm only had 10,000 iron cavalry, he led his army to kill 180,000 Yellow Turban Army in Zhuo County last year. Have you forgotten? Therefore, the Qiang people are not that powerful, and the leopards are not that weak. I think, we must be careful of the leopard's cavalry and not be trapped in the leopard's trick."
"Do you have any suggestions?" Wu Du asked.
Huang Yan touched his beard and said, "I think the general should immediately summon Han Sui and Nie Xiao's men to the camp to meet. We will concentrate all our forces to the East Gate battlefield and force the leopard to fight to the decisive battle."
"Mr. Huang is worried that our troops will be dispersed and will be defeated by leopards?" Ma Teng asked.
"Yes." Huang Yan nodded and said, "The Leopard's Iron Cavalry has a brilliant record. They can win with less and more, and they win with odd ones every time. We have to be careful. This time, the Leopard dares to come, and there must be some way to win."
Wang Guo praised: "It's still Lord Huang who is careful to think about it. The Fengyun Iron Cavalry did not appear in the East Gate battlefield, which shows that the Leopard does have a second move." He waved his hand to Wudu and said, "Yi'an, we will follow Lord Huang's method and urgently order Han Sui and Nie Xiao to lead their troops to the camp to meet."

The kingdom was gathered together and discussing support, and saw Ma Yu running over in panic.
"Master, Nie Xiao has turned against me."
Everyone didn't react for a moment, and everyone stared at him with big eyes.
"As soon as the war drum in Yicheng sounded, Nie Xiao hung up the Black Panther Battle Flag and led his troops to attack Han Sui. Han Sui's army was caught off guard."
"What about now?" Ma Teng asked hurriedly.
"It's fighting fiercely."
Huang Yan's face became increasingly ugly, and then the corners of his mouth twitched a few times. Suddenly he roared angrily: "Leopard, Leopard..."
Wang Guo was frightened and raised his hands nervously, touching his bare forehead repeatedly, his eyes blinking.
After Huang Yan yelled twice, his mood seemed to calm down a little. He pointed at Wudu and said loudly: "Hurry, hurry, we will support June Thunder immediately."
"If the leopard attacks..."
"Don't worry about him. Nie Xiao turned against him, causing the strength comparison between the two sides to change. Now everyone is evenly matched and the number of people is equal, and no one has the chance to win." Huang Yan said angrily, "The Qiang people, the Qiang people are not good things at all. They are all human-eating wolves."
"Do we immediately withdraw to Longxi while they are fighting fiercely?" Wu Du said, "Now we have no chance of winning at all. Why not go back first and make a comeback later."
Ma Teng shook his head and said, "You must not withdraw now. Once we retreat, the morale of the army will be shaken. The morale of the army will be shaken. There is no way to fight this battle. If the leopard ambushed on the way, we will definitely be wiped out. Who can determine the position of the leopard now?"
Wang Guo thought for a moment and said, "You can't retreat. Now, the army of June Jinglei and Han Sui will be hit hard. Who will listen to us in the future?" He glanced at Huang Yan with a frustrated expression and asked, "Mr. Huang, did you just say that you would support June Jinglei first?"
Huang Yan nodded, sighed, and said, "With the strength of both sides equal, we should take the initiative to withdraw from the battlefield. Now, there is a Nie Xiao between us and Han Sui. It is very difficult to contact and meet him, so we have to inform June Jinglei to withdraw our troops first. In addition, we must send troops to support him to prevent the Leopard from suddenly rushing out and surrounding his army in the East Gate area. Once June Jinglei meets us, our strength will increase greatly. Leopard cannot beat us, so he has to watch us leave with a swagger."
"Where is Han Sui?"
"When Nie Xiao saw that there were 50,000 or 60,000 troops behind him, would he dare to attack with all his strength? As long as he relaxed a little, Han Sui could get out quickly." Huang Yan looked at Wudu and said, "Yi'an, you should take the army to the east gate immediately."
"What if I take people away and the leopard attacks? You don't even have 20,000 people here." Wu said reluctantly.
The kingdom looked at Huang Yan worriedly.
Huang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "If the leopard was not a lunatic, he would not have started a battle on three battlefields at the same time."
"What if he was a lunatic?" Wu Du asked.
Huang Yan sighed to the sky and said, "Everyone dies together."
Everyone looked at each other speechlessly.
Wu Du shook his head and said a little discouraged: "Why is our situation so bad all of a sudden? We were talking about taking down Yicheng just now, but now we are discussing how to retreat. Things have changed too quickly."
"It's all Lao Bian. Lao Bian will not die sooner or later, but she died at this time." Huang Yan stomped his feet hatefully and complained loudly, "Where did so many things come from if Lao Bian does not die?"
Huang Yan was discouraged and almost burst into tears. All his dreams turned into powder at the moment when Nie Xiao turned against him.

Thirty-five thousand Qiang cavalry in Huangzhong rushed over, rushing overwhelmingly.
Liang Xing and Ma Wan took 10,000 cavalry to guard the two wings of the army to support them. They saw the Qiang in Huangzhong pounced on him in a fierce manner, and without waiting for Han Sui's order, they each led their subordinates to rush out of the military formation and quickly met. Ten thousand people and 30,000 people directly confronted each other, unable to stop the enemy's impact at all. Once the two sides contacted each other, they would immediately go in the opposite direction and go east and west. Only by blocking the enemy's attack route with dense queues can they effectively delay the enemy's attack. Although this cannot intercept all the enemies, at least some of the enemies can be forced to attack the rear army.
Liang Xing turned around and looked at the chaotic army behind him, shouting loudly at the horses: "The infantry are still gathering, and it takes time. Let's divide the troops to intercept the attack."
Ma Wan waved at him, signaled to obey his arrangements, and then rushed into the cavalry formation on the right wing with his guards. The sound of war drums rang rapidly and densely. The cavalry that was moving rapidly suddenly cracked from it, rushing to both sides like a tide.
On the vast battlefield, huge flying geese sported their long wings and rushed towards two dense cavalry formations at high speed.
Nie Xiao took the lead and shouted loudly: "Order the left and right wings to escape from the central army immediately, line up in a cone to fight against the enemy."
"The central army shrinks heavily and charges with me..."
When Luotuo and Baili Yang heard the sound of horns, they immediately led the two wings of cavalry to turn into cones, like two long roaring arrows, and rushed towards the enemy formation at lightning.
Liang Xing saw Nie Xiao and his army crossing their square formation like a hurricane and rolling towards Han Sui's infantry army.
"Boom...boom..." Two huge explosions broke out on the battlefield, and the two sides collided and fought each other.
The sound of war drums, trumpets, the shouts of soldiers, and the galloping sound of war horses soared into the sky.
"Swish swish..." Thousands of long arrows rose into the air and shot towards the Qiang cavalry that were swarming in. The candidate and Li Kan commanded the archers and began shooting.
The Qiang people who were red-eyed and looked crazy. They didn't dodge or dodge, and still howled and ran wildly, not afraid of the long arrows in the sky. They gritted their teeth and rushed into the military formation unimpeded.
Yang Qiu and Cheng Yi's army had just assembled, and they immediately rushed to block the attack. The two armies met and immediately started a bloody battle.
Li Hong instructed Pang De that Nie Xiao could not die before the battle in Yicheng ended. No one could replace Nie Xiao’s position in Huangzhong Qiang. Although Luo Tuo, Baili Yang and others were all Xiaoqus, Nie Xiao was scheming, sleek and worldly, and sympathetic to his subordinates. The soldiers all supported him very much. If Nie Xiao died, no one knew whether Huangzhong Qiang would collapse. Therefore, protecting Nie Xiao’s life was an important task assigned to Pang De by Li Hong.
Nie Xiao led his personal guards to fight back and forth, trying to kill and block the enemy soldiers and penetrate into the center of Han Sui's military formation. The group of vanguards he led was like a sharp sword that penetrated the stone, destroying the deadly and slaying the enemy.
Yang Qiu saw his subordinates fall down in batches under the cavalry of the Qiang in Huangzhong, and saw his soldiers killing under the sharp arrows of the cavalry. He saw countless broken limbs and broken arms flying in the air with a tent of blood rain. His heart was trembling and his anger was burning. He wanted to kill all the enemies with one knife. He roared loudly with all his strength: "Brothers, let me kill..."
Yang Qiu stared at Nie Xiao. Yang Qiu was a Malaysian bandit in the past, and had suffered the losses of a traitor. He had a deep-rooted hatred towards the rebels. When he saw Nie Xiao with his hair disheveled, he jumped on horses and raised his swords, he was angry. Yang Qiu led a team of 100 people to overcome all obstacles, stepped on the blood-stained mud, and stepped on the wreckage of his comrades, and rushed to the forefront of the battle formation. "Cut the horse...Cut the horse..." Yang Qiu shouted wildly while waving a spear to lift a Qiang soldier who was slaying a pegasus from the horse.
Under the cover of the crossbow soldiers in the back row, the famous sword hand rushed towards Nie Xiao. The attendants who were protecting Nie Xiao were all caught in arrows and fell down. Nie Xiao roared angrily, and raised his hand to kill a sword hand that was rolling and crawling towards his war horse. Another sword hand was shot three arrows by the soldiers following Nie Xiao, and the arrows penetrated the chest, but the sword hand was extremely brave. Before his death, he slashed the horse's legs with all his strength. The war horse was in pain and suddenly jumped up and almost stood upright in the air. Nie Xiao couldn't defend himself and turned over and fell off the horse.
"Kill him... Kill him..." Yang Qiu shouted excitedly, leading a dozen soldiers around him to pounce on him at the same time. Nie Xiao's personal soldiers roared in shock and anger, and roared forward. Some shot their bows hard, some rode their horses to resist, and some threw their spears hard. In this small space, everyone quickly rushed towards Nie Xiao on the ground.
Nie Xiao turned over and jumped up. Before he could lift his body, he saw four spears spurs spitting out like cunning poisonous snakes from four different directions. Nie Xiao widened his eyes, opened his mouth and let out a desperate roar: "Ah..."
To be continued...
