Chapter 190: Battle
The Black Wind Army decided to ambush a five-hundred-horse Xilin City guard.
Zhao Hu bit his scimitar and lay down in the grass, staring closely at a place three hundred meters away. There was a group of cavalry, slowly crossing a small hill.
Behind Zhao Hu, there was a group of people dressed up like him, a total of more than 100 people, all of whom were the armed forces of the Xinghua Salt Protection Team.
Zhao Hu's army of more than 100 people was composed of strong men, and they received Zhao Jin's order to rush here as quickly as possible, do a good job of ambushing, and at the same time brake quietly, first watch the decisive battle between the Black Wind Army and the City Guard, in order to collect information beneficial to Xinghua Kingdom, and by the way, see if there is a place to fish in troubled waters.
The cavalry of the city guard slowly entered a slope valley. The topography of this valley is slightly higher on both sides and low in the middle. This kind of terrain is actually not very advantageous for the main attacking side like the cavalry of the city guard. And the people of the Black Wind Army, precisely because they are familiar with the terrain, have taken advantage of their natural advantages, and they are lying in ambush on both sides of the high ground, waiting for the city guards to enter this place, wanting to catch turtles in an urn.
It's a pity that they didn't expect that the Black Wind Army would receive information in advance and plan a counteroffensive and raid, and at this time, they were taking it lightly and stepping into the trap step by step.
In order to ambush the cavalry of the city guards, Bi Shi and others prepared a lot of things. More than a dozen round thick logs, about four or five meters long, were lying quietly on the hillside, being pulled by the ambush forces of the Black Wind Army, pulled by ropes, ready to attack.
The cavalry of the city guard army had just entered the valley, and Bi Shi immediately ordered more than thirty archers of the Black Wind Army to shoot arrows at them.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiming, the marquis of the city guard, was unexpected. Immediately, he was furious! This bold Black Wind bandit army dared to ambush the official army. This is really eating the heart of a bear and a leopard gall!
In Xu Zhiming's prediction. These rioters should be hiding in the mountains, waiting for them to encircle and suppress. At most, it's like a mouse, scurrying around. The Black Wind Army's move made the unprepared Xu Zhiming angry!
Xu Zhiming ordered the cavalry to turn, draw their swords, and rush up the hillside. Slash and slash enemies.
Seeing this, Bi Shi smiled coldly and ordered his subordinates to loosen the rope.
Suddenly, more than a dozen round logs, along the slope, rolled down diagonally, and rushed towards the cavalry.
Seeing this, the cavalry of the city guards in front was startled, and immediately tried to avoid or jump over. However, behind them were the horses of a dozen cavalrymen. Or accidentally tripped.
The biggest effect of this trap is not to kill the enemy. Rather, it was to block the cavalry's charge. If the cavalry does not charge, its power will be greatly reduced. Obviously, in the Black Wind Army, there is a study of how to deal with cavalry.
Bi Shi seized the opportunity and immediately ordered the Black Wind Army to charge downward.
Sure enough, the cavalry, which was caught in a melee and had no mobility, was not much stronger than the infantry. The Black Wind Army was shocked, and it suddenly became a little scrambling.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiming, the city guard, immediately ordered the cavalry to withdraw from the battlefield.
"Take a hundred steps back and re-align!"
At least three hundred people withdrew from the battlefield, and at a distance of a hundred meters, they again charged.
"Chop off the horse's legs!" shouted Bi Shi.
After all, the Black Wind Army is a rabble of peasants, and perhaps their individual bravery is not weaker than that of the soldiers of the city guards, but they are unorganized and chaotic, resulting in their extremely poor combat effectiveness.
Bi Shi's order was not well conveyed to every Black Wind Army. However, under the command of Xu Zhiming, the city guards regrouped and rushed to kill again.
"Kill, kill, kill!" shouted the city guards in unison.
The powerful impact immediately crushed the barely organized Black Wind Army. The Black Wind Army suddenly lost its goal and became dazed, and many people even lost their heads.
"Big Boss, the City Guards are too strong, we must leave quickly!" the second leader of the Black Wind Army immediately said to Bi Shi.
Bi Shi was not unaware of the change in the situation. It was also very heartbroken to see his brothers die under the machetes of the city guards. The hatred for the city guards is also becoming less and less.
"No, I'm going to kill them!" Bi Shi said angrily with his knife raised.
"Big boss, stay in Qingshan and don't be afraid of no firewood!" the second master persuaded him, "We still have a way out! There are still many brothers, they can't all die here!"
The words of the second master woke up Bi Shi.
The cavalry of the city guard, after the first charge, stopped on the other side, turned around, and began to organize the second charge.
Bi Shi roared, shook his head in pain, and shouted: "Black Wind Army!
The second leader took the lead and shouted: "The big boss has an order! Retreat to the mountain road!"
When everyone in the Black Wind Army heard the order, most of them immediately gave up the battle and turned to retreat.
However, the city guards in the melee are real troops, how could the soldiers let go of the opportunity, they immediately bit the Black Wind Army and delayed time.
All of a sudden, the pressure on the Black Wind Army doubled, fearing that the enemy's cavalry was about to arrive, and the ranks were even more chaotic.
Retreating is like running for your life.
At this time, as long as the soldiers of the city guard army seize the opportunity, not only can they bite off a piece of the meat of the Black Wind Army, but it is also possible to destroy the Black Wind Army.
Fortunately, in the melee, the proportion of soldiers of the city guards was small, and some of the Black Wind troops broke away from the battlefield and had to retreat into the mountain road.
At this time, Xu Zhiming, who had just turned around and was about to charge for the second time, saw the change in the situation, didn't care about the whole formation, and immediately gave the order to charge and chase down the Black Wind Army.
Bi Shi fled with the Black Wind Army into a mountain road next to the hillside. This mountain road, with its rugged roads and narrow spaces, was not suitable for cavalry. The reason why the Black Wind Army chose this place to ambush the cavalry was to facilitate their own escape and prevent the cavalry from killing them. If the cavalry of the city guard dared to chase into the mountain pass, the Black Wind Army could also turn around and counterattack.
However, how could Bi Shi and other leaders of the Black Wind Army think that the battlefield is changing, and not everyone can grasp it.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiming, the city guard, was not only not afraid of the rocks, but because he was unwilling to flee from the Black Wind Army, he ordered the cavalry to enter the mountain road and continue to chase and kill.
Xu Zhiming thought very clearly, if he eliminated the Black Wind Army on this hillside, he would not have to continue to suppress the bandits. A few days in advance, if you successfully complete the task and return to the city, you will definitely be appreciated by the city lord, and you will be promoted and made a fortune just around the corner. Therefore, Xu Zhiming couldn't see the Black Wind Army escaping.
"Kill, don't leave one, one silver coin for one person's head, one gold coin for ten people's head!" Xu Zhiming shouted with a hideous face.
All the cavalry of the city guard army were red-eyed, and they looked at the people of the Black Wind Army as if they were silver coins and gold coins.
The cavalry continued to pursue, even into the mountain roads, and they did not stop.
Bi Shi saw the cavalry of the city guards chasing into the mountain road and wanted to turn back and counterattack. However, he found that the Black Wind Army had completely dispersed, everyone was busy running, and no one was willing to stop and stop the city guards. (To be continued......)
