Chapter 222: Defeating the enemy against all odds

Although Ma Su was shot to death by several Qiang and Hu men, he insisted not to fight back. He simply ordered the cavalryman to throw a few javelins backhand in return.

Seeing the cowardice of the Han cavalry on the opposite side, the Qiang and Hu people became more and more aggressive.

"Look, in just a few years, the Han people in the south are already as cowardly as sheep. Even if they can ride horses, they are just fat sheep that can run faster." Yan Bao laughed and pointed at the Han cavalry in front of him and mocked .

But before he could finish laughing, a whistle suddenly sounded from the jungle on both sides.

Then a number of Han cavalry suddenly protruded from both wings and launched a countercharge against the Qiang and Hu people who were rushing towards them. Ma Di then roared and led his cavalry to turn around and fight.

Suddenly encountered a surprise attack by the Han army, the Qiang and Hu people's military discipline was immediately revealed. Many Qiang and Hu people were so frightened that they turned around and wanted to run away. The formation was almost broken up by only a thousand people.

However, when the Qiang and Hu people saw that there were very few ambush troops and the Communists gathered in front of the cavalry, they immediately stabilized their mentality.

It turns out that this little person is just blowing up Hu, how powerful he thought he was!

Those who hate Hu Hu the most must have their general’s hands cut off!

The Qiang and Hu cavalry became more and more contemptuous of the Han cavalry and surrounded them in a show of force. They were so arrogant that they didn't even notice that Ma Su had penetrated their formation.

After Ma Su made a series of counterattacks, he then led his troops to stand out and fled southward again.

With the sloppy formation of the Qiang and Hu cavalry, it was almost impossible to stop Ma Di.

However, although the Qiang and Hu people failed to stop Ma Di, they already looked down upon the Han cavalry. The ambush set up by the cunning Han cavalry was just that, it had no lethality at all.

"Don't worry, they are very dangerous with their limited abilities!" Yan Bao waved his hands with a smile, completely letting down his guard.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to wait for Xiahou Ba, he wanted to kill Ma Su and go home as soon as possible. The Wei army, which is as slow as a tortoise, can just eat the dust from behind.

Because when Ma Su deliberately released a Pacific Ocean of water, the Qiang and Hu people completely let down their guard. Then he didn't even plan to wait for Xiahou Ba, and just started chasing Ma Su with all his strength.

At this moment, Xiahou Ba was still behind him, leading the Wei army headquarters to chase slowly and slowly, but found that in the blink of an eye, no one could keep up.

At this time, Xiahou Ba realized something was wrong. This was probably Ma Di's trick!

However, he was too weak to restrain the Qiang and Hu people. We can only urge the troops and horses of our headquarters to follow, and don't let the Qiang and Hu people confront Ma Su alone.

The Qiang and Hu people followed Ma Su all the way and finally arrived at the Weishui River in the south.

Once here, the cavalry had no way to retreat and nowhere to go. If you go further, you will be driven into the water by the cavalry to feed the fish.

But here, Liu Yin has been waiting for a long time with the remaining one thousand cavalry!

"Xiuren! It's up to you! Help me buy a quarter of an hour!" Ma Di arrived and quickly met Liu Yin.

Liu Yin immediately understood and led a thousand cavalry to meet five thousand Qiang and Hu cavalry.

Ma Su's idea was to imitate Han Xin's last-ditch battle and fight fiercely with these Ziqiang barbarians. With his two thousand cavalry, he defeated five thousand Hu cavalry head on!

Liu Yin met Hu Qi head-on, while Ma Su stopped at the Wei River with Long Wuyi, who was completely subordinate to his headquarters.

"Soldiers, are you familiar with this river?"

Ma Su pointed to the Weishui River beside the south, smiled easily and said.

"A few years ago, we defeated King Hao Zhao and other famous Cao Wei generals on the upper reaches of the Wei River with one thousand to five thousand."

"Even if they have numerous advantages, won't they eventually be defeated by us?"

"The opponents we face now are no more than five thousand. And they are all barbarians, barbarians with extremely weak fighting power!"

"Remember the saying that one man is worth five barbarians? Two thousand of us are worth ten thousand of them! If we don't kill them all, wouldn't it be considered a great defeat for us?"

"We at Longwu Yi have always used less to defeat more. Today, for the first time, we use more to bully the few. If we cannot completely annihilate this thief, wouldn't it be a lifelong shame?"

"Big men, pick up your weapons now and follow me to fight back!"

Ma Di has always been good at inspiring people. Under his instigation, a thousand cavalrymen became excited.

So far, Long Wuyi has been fighting with Ma Su for several years and has never lost on the battlefield. After learning some ethics and morals, these cavalrymen also had a sense of honor and disgrace.

We are the best soldiers in the world, and we can match the 10,000 strong soldiers on the opposite side. If we don't annihilate them all, wouldn't they be ridiculed by everyone in the world?

At this time, none of the elite soldiers under Ma Su still remembered that they were once Qiang Di people...

"kill!!"

With Ma Su taking the lead, turning around and charging out, more than a thousand cavalrymen charged at the Qiang and Hu cavalry with extremely high fighting spirit.

At this moment, the barbarians are surrounding Liu Yin's tribe, constantly trying to kill them. However, because of the lax military discipline and the low-pitched fighting ability, Liu Yin was dragged here.

When Ma Su rushed back like lightning, the Hu people lacked the minimum psychological preparation.

Didn’t the ambush troops who were cowardly just now run away after all? Why is it suddenly so fierce now?

The two sides had a misunderstanding, and Ma Su took the lead and stabbed a Hu Qi to death. In the subsequent battles, Long Wuyi never failed to kill one against a hundred, and the fighting spirit in his eyes frightened the Qiang and Hu people.

Of course, Ma Su's goal was not limited to this. He had a purpose in attracting this group of Hu Qi.

Ma Su led his troops into the formation and joined Liu Yin's troops to continue the charge. He penetrated the chaotic Hu cavalry formation and rushed behind the Qiang and Hu cavalry!

In this way, the situation instantly changed from the Han cavalry fighting a last-ditch battle to the Qiang and Hu people being surrounded by counterattacks.

The Qiang and Hu people who were beaten to pieces were instantly weak, and they were beaten so much that they wanted to flee in all directions. However, Ma Su, who was well prepared, quickly waved his hand, and his cavalry surrounded Hu Qi on both sides, blocking Hu Qi's retreat.

"Soldiers! Let these Ziqiang Hu people go down the river to feed the fish!" Ma Di led the troops to press forward with full force, and drove the Hu people into the Wei River with a clear goal.

If Xiahou Ba's infantry were here, Ma Su would definitely not be able to do it so easily. But because of the false ambush before, Yan Bao completely despised the Han cavalry, so now Xiahou Ba couldn't keep up at all.

Therefore, the five thousand Qiang and Hu mercenaries had to face Ma Su alone!

In fact, Cao Zhen had the right idea. If it were just to prevent Ma Su from harassing the grain road, thousands of Qiang and Hu tribes would be enough.

But, these barbarians are not so easy to restrain. As long as you can't restrain them, it is basically impossible for the Qiang and Hu people to survive under Ma Di's hands.

As Ma Su's offensive was sharp, a large number of Qiang and Hu cavalry had no intention of fighting and were scurrying around like headless flies. Finally, in desperation, many Hu people were driven off the Weishui River.

Those who were not driven off the Weishui River had already thrown away their weapons and surrendered.

At this moment, Xiahou Bacai finally arrived...
