Chapter 260
Poisonous Scheme
"Die!"
The Cheshi State General Musa Khan roared, and the heavy mace slashed out, hitting the two Kanto infantry's large shields heavily. Two muffled sounds were heard, and the big shield was smashed. The two Kanto soldiers hiding behind the big shield groaned and collapsed softly. The bright red bloodshot had already overflowed from their nostrils, ear holes and corners of their mouths.
This heavy blow actually shocked two powerful Kanto soldiers to death!
"Expanded!"
The galloping war horses rushed toward with powerful inertia, and instantly they knocked two Kanto soldiers with blood from seven orifices upside down. Musa Khan succeeded with a blow and looked even more crazy. The twisted beards under his chin were like steel needles, and the mace in his hand swept across like flying. The Kanto soldiers blocking Musa Khan's assault road were like waves and split and were knocked away one after another.
Hundreds of elite cavalry of the Cheshi Division followed closely behind Musa Khan. The sharp scimitar flew up and down like snowflakes. The crack that the Kanto soldiers had just torn open by Musa Khan began to expand in an instant. As the gap expanded, the casualties of the Kanto soldiers also increased rapidly.
"Swish swish swish swish swish~~"
The sound of arrows breaking through the air still resounded throughout the battlefield. Although the Hu cavalry of the Western Regions had already rushed to the front of the Guandong formation, the 20,000 Guandong archers did not turn around and retreat, but continued to hold on to their positions and poured the cold rain of arrows on the Hu cavalry of the Western Regions. The killing pokes of these cold-blooded killers were not over.
"Aoao~~"
The roar like a beast resounded throughout the battlefield, and the noisy battlefield boiled like boiling water. The cold-blooded killing poke of the Kanto archers did not disintegrate the fighting spirit of the Hu cavalry in the Western Regions, but instead completely inspired the murderous intent of these wild beasts, just like the severely damaged beasts, carrying out a tragic, crazy, and final backlash.
"It's really outrageous!" Lu Bu was furious, and Chuo Ji Yu'an tied his hand and said sternly, "Get the bow!"
A personal soldier had already handed over Lu Bu's iron-tied bow.
Lu Buchuo bowed his hand, put his bow and arrows on Musa Khan and shot him with an arrow.
"Swish~"
Amid the shrill sound of breaking through the air, a wolf-toothed arrow as thick as a thumb swept across the noisy battlefield like lightning, and penetrated into the left eye of the Cheshi National General Musa Khan. The sharp cluster of arrows pierced through Musa Khan's cranial cavity and then emerged from the back of his head. A bright red blood bead dripped lightly along the cluster of three-edged arrows, instantly moistening Musa Khan's cloak.
"Aowu~~"
Musa Khan turned his head with a ferocious right eye with difficulty. He saw hundreds of steps away, a Kanto general stood on a horse with an iron arch in his hand. His tyrannical murderous intent was poured out with the fierce howling of Jestiri. Musa Khan used all his life's strength to throw the mace in his hand towards Lu Bu.
"Swish~"
The shadow flew over the sky, and the shrill screamed almost to tear the eardrums of the soldiers of the two armies. Lu Bu snorted lightly, raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji and blocked it gently, and then dropped the mace that Musa Khan threw with all his might. Hundreds of steps away, Musa Khan moaned in disappointment, and the wild beastly nature in his eyes quickly faded, and then he tilted his head and fell from the horse's back.
"Ahhhh~~"
"Wow, ah~~"
Musa Khan died in battle. The hundreds of chariot masters behind him seemed to be crazy and immediately turned his head toward Lu Bu. Behind the hundreds of chariot masters, more and more Western cavalry were surging forward. The formation of the Kanto soldiers was like a dam in front of huge waves, gradually in danger of collapse of the dike.
Central Army of Kanto Alliance.
"Crazy, this is really a group of madmen!" Cao Cao reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and whispered, "Looking at this posture, even if he fought to the last cavalry, these Western barbarians would never retreat. If Tao Gongzu (Tao Qian)'s Xuzhou infantry could not immediately shrink their formation and block these wild beasts, Yuan Shu's archers and Liu Xun's spearmen would suffer a great loss."
"Yuan Shu and Liu Xun are sure to suffer!" Guo Jia said coldly, "The performance of these Western Region cavalry is really shocking."
"Yes." Xiahou Dun also said sternly, "This group of barbarians is indeed surprising!"
Xiahou Yuan took a deep breath of air conditioning, and felt a chill on his back, looking around everyone and said, "Can the Butcher Ma really do something trick? It was originally just a group of vulnerable mobs, but once he arrived at the Butcher Ma, he would immediately turn into a group of bloodthirsty tigers and wolves! This is the case with the Yellow Turban Thieves in Nanyang, and the Wuhuan barbarians in Mobei. Now it is the turn of these Western Region barbarians.
Xun You said: "The cavalry in the Western Regions is indeed surprising, but Liu Yao's army has already stepped forward to protect the Jinglan. Wang Lang and Yuan Yi have already detoured to the side of the cavalry in the Western Regions. If nothing unexpected happens, none of these cavalry in the Western Regions can return to Hangu Pass alive!"
"But Jia Dushi seems to have no intention of withdrawing troops at all!" Cheng Yu continued, "This is exactly what is difficult to solve! Even if this battle can eventually kill Yuan Shu's archers and Liu Xun's spearmen, it will only exchange more than 30,000 cavalry for less than 50,000 Guandong infantry. What exactly does Jia Dushi want to do?"
"Yes." Guo Jiayouyou echoed, "What exactly does Dushi Jia want to do?"
On the battlefield.
As Guo Jia expected, under the crazy impact of the Hu cavalry in the Western Regions, the Xuzhou infantry and Yangzhou spearmen collapsed one after another. Walking on the bloody path paved by countless companions, less than 5,000 Hu cavalry in the Western Regions, who had only less than 5,000 left, finally broke into the Yangzhou archer formation. The cold-blooded killers then remembered to turn around and retreat, but it was too late.
Wolves entered the flock of sheep, and a tragic massacre took place in an instant. As the war horses galloped, the Yangzhou archers with wolf-railed pigs fell into a pool of blood one by one.
Kwantung Army Central Army.
Yuan Shu was so angry that his face turned blue. He had already cursed Tao Qian and Zhang Chao in his heart. Those were 20,000 elite archers! No matter how rich Yangzhou was and Yuan Shu was rich and powerful, he needed equipment. How much effort would it take to train such an archer to form an army? How difficult would it be?
But now, in less than a meal, these 20,000 elite Yangzhou soldiers were wiped out!
"Xilulu~~"
When the last horse wailed on the battlefield, the noisy battlefield finally fell silent.
Dust returns to dust, and earth returns to earth.
When life came to an end and everything was nothing, the soldiers of the two armies who died on the battlefield were no longer separated from each other and finally no longer needed to continue fighting.
After Hangu Pass, all the soldiers in Liangzhou held their breath.
The wall was silent. Gao Shun, who had always been under the pressure of Mount Tai but was not lustful, couldn't help but look pale at this time. A total of 30,000 Western Region cavalry died in such a battle. What was even more heartbreaking was that he could not destroy even a well railing! The failure was an undisputed defeat!
"Huh~~"
Jia Xu looked up to the sky and breathed a long sigh.
Did it really fail? Of course not!
At this moment, Jia Xu's eyes looked particularly cold, and a ferocious smile bloomed on the corners of his mouth, condensing, a good show... It's just the beginning, right?
"Where is Gao Shun?"
Jia Xu turned around suddenly, and his eyes fell on Gao Shun's face like a knife.
Gao Shun's face turned solemn, he stepped forward quickly, stood in front of Jia Xu, and said quickly: "The last one is here."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "I passed the order of this military advisor and immediately lift fifty catapults onto the city wall. From now on, once people and animals step into the range of the catapults, regardless of humans and animals, whether it is humans and animals, whether it is the reason, immediately launch all fifty catapults to enter without interruption! Don't be stingy with stones, and soldiers, don't be stingy with physical strength. The Kanto army is frightened and dare not approach Hangu Pass!"
Gao Shun said, "The last general will receive the order."
"Also." Jia Xu's eyes cold and he said in a deep voice, "Immediately spread the stone powder all over the city, especially the kitchen, and you must not miss any corner! I will tell the entire army again, and from now on, there will be another military discipline. All soldiers in the army are not allowed to drink cold water or eat raw food. Those who violate the orders~~ behead and immediately decide!"
Gao Shun said quickly: "Abide by the order!"
"Okay." Jia Xu nodded gently and said calmly, "Let's do it for now."
After saying that, Jia Xu left with his long sleeves, Gao Shun and more than a dozen Yangzhou generals respectfully clasped their fists and said, "Give me a look at the military advisor!"
Outside Hangu Pass.
The war ended, and both armies suffered heavy casualties. On the Liangzhou Legion, all the 30,000 Hu cavalry from the Western Regions who left the pass were killed in battle, and none of them returned to the pass alive. The Kanto Alliance Army suffered even more casualties. More than half of Zhang Chao's Guangling soldiers were killed and half, and Yuan Shu's archers and Zhang Xun's spearmen were almost wiped out!
