Chapter 191: Victory
No matter how much will Bi Shi had to fight, when he saw that the people of his Black Wind Army had fled in all directions, and they could not form an army, and they didn't have the slightest intention of continuing to fight against the Xilin City Army, Bi Shi suddenly understood the feeling of being like a dead heart.
On the other hand, looking at the Xilin City City Guards who were like killing the red-eyed after the Black Wind Army, Bi Shi muttered to himself bitterly: "Could this be the strength of the City Guards! Could it be that we are really a group of rabble!"
The city guards on the other side, under the leadership of Xu Zhiming, opened a big killing spree to the Black Wind Army fleeing in front of them, clearly treating the Black Wind Army as ants, at this moment, under the temptation of money, the Xilin City City Guards were inspired to kill like never before. Any cavalryman chased and killed four or five Black Wind troops.
Seeing this battle, if no force intervenes, the situation will no longer be able to change. But just as Xu Zhiming was proudly waiting to receive the fruits of the war, fantasizing that he was about to be promoted and make a fortune, he suddenly heard a few sounds that broke the air, and he was so startled that he immediately followed the sound.
It turned out to be the sound of a sharp sword piercing.
I saw more than a dozen crossbow arrows suddenly flying out of the grass and shooting at the horses of the cavalry of the city guards, and the horses that were shot fell to the ground on the spot, and the riders on its back were also thrown to the ground.
It turned out that Zhao Hu and the others, who were ambushed in the grass, finally found an opportunity to attack.
Shoot the man before the horse!
When Zhao Hu saw with his own eyes that one after another of the enemy's war horses were shot to the ground by the crossbow arrows they fired, he had a lot of excitement in his heart. These crossbowmen were selected by Mu En in Xinghua Manor and deployed to cooperate with this operation. He is also a soldier of the Kingdom Guard of Heunghwa.
Especially. The crossbow of these crossbowmen. It was a nightmare for the enemy, especially the cavalry.
"Kill!" After a round of crossbow attacks, seeing that the edge of the city guards had decreased a lot, Zhao Hu was even more excited, and immediately turned around and gave the order to charge the entire team, and then, he took the lead in raising the scimitar in his hand and led the armed personnel of the whole team with a total of more than 200 salt guards. Leapt swiftly from the high slope where he was hiding and rushed towards the city guards.
When I first recruited the salt protection team, because the monthly salary of the salt protection team was extremely high, all the people who came to apply were strong men with some strength. When recruiting personnel, the three Zhao Jin brothers also selected the ones with the best physical conditions, so the basic quality of the salt protection team that was finally formed was already very high. In addition, after the rigorous training of Xinghua Manor, the combat effectiveness of the salt protection team. Compared to the Black Wind Army, it is naturally much stronger.
And. Because Zhao Hu's ambush location was easy to defend and difficult to attack, they occupied an excellent geographical advantage, and between these rugged mountain roads, the cavalry of the Xilin City Guards had no advantage. Therefore, in the face of the fierce battle of the salt guards, the city guards gradually showed a tendency to be disorganized.
In addition, there are more than a dozen Xinghua crossbowmen, who release cold arrows on the side from time to time, and the soldiers of the city guard army who were originally chasing and killing the Black Wind Army are now beginning to take care of the Black Wind Army, and in the face of Zhao Hu's sudden attack, they are a little overwhelmed.
This sudden change in the situation made Xu Zhiming, who was still proud just now, suddenly a little stunned, he thought it was an ambush of the Black Wind Army at first, but gradually found that these people who ambushed and raided their city guards were obviously different from the Black Wind Army - these ambush soldiers were still wearing leather armor.
Zhao Hu's clan was like a red-hot iron rod stretched into a pot of water, and it had already disrupted the entire battle situation! Not only Xu Zhiming was deeply troubled, but even the Black Wind Army, which was already in a position of success or defeat, was also aware of this army that suddenly appeared.
However, Bi Shi came to his senses faster, and immediately organized twenty or thirty Black Wind Army, turned around and fought back, and rushed towards the Xilin City City Guards, which were already in chaos!
Seeing this, Xu Zhiming had no time to analyze who the other party was, he only knew that these ambush soldiers and the Black Wind Army were in a group, obviously, the current situation was extremely unfavorable to the city guards! Therefore, Xu Zhiming immediately ordered all the cavalry to withdraw from the mountain road.
However, at this time, more than half of the cavalry had already entered the mountain road, and it was not so easy to retreat with all their bodies. What's more, the salt guard team led by Zhao Hu, they directly choked the entrance and exit, wanting to cut off the retreat of the city guards.
As a result, the cavalry of the city guard army has become a turtle in the urn, and more and more city guard cavalry are either killed by the Black Wind Army because their horses were shot down and fell, or they were killed by Zhao Hu's team with a scimitar, or they were shot to death by the crossbow arrows of the ambush soldiers. In a short period of time, the number of the majestic 500 cavalry suddenly decreased sharply, and the corpses were all over the field.
At this time, Xu Zhiming was terrified, and he immediately gave the order for the whole army to retreat, but found that the city guards, who had collapsed, could no longer organize a retreat.
And Zhao Hu seemed to sense the intention of the city guards to retreat, and behaved more bravely, ordering everyone to kill the city guards.
In less than half an hour, the killing gradually stopped, and the remnants of the city guard soldiers fled in confusion.
The battle has been decided, but unfortunately, although the Black Wind Army was not wiped out because of Zhao Hu's timely support, it also suffered great losses. Looking at the battlefield littered with the corpses of the Black Wind Army and the City Guards, the seven-foot man couldn't help but kneel on the ground, crying bitterly for the dead brothers.
Seeing this, Zhao Hu frowned, walked over and said, "Leader Bi, please mourn and change, it is better to let the brothers of the Black Wind Army enter the ground as soon as possible." ”
Bi Shi nodded and looked around at the members of the Black Wind Army who were still standing. Except for the second leader of the Black Wind Army, who fled the battlefield with at least a hundred Black Wind Army, there were less than fifteen people left.
Other than that, there are only people from the Xinghua Salt Guard Team around.
"Brother Zhao Hu, please help my brother, I must be grateful. Bi Shishi said with a depressed expression and clenched his fists.
"Everyone is a brother, so why say such unseemly words. Zhao Hu sighed.
In the past, when Zhao Hu was still a hunter, he had dealt with Bi Shi a lot, and the two sides had also cooperated in the mountains and had long been in contact. At this moment, seeing Bi Shi's decadent and sad appearance, Zhao Hu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. This is the cruelty of war, this fierce battle with the city guards of Xilin City has indeed made Bi Shi lose a lot of things.
"Let's hurry up and bury all the brothers of the Black Wind Army. Zhao Hu paused, and then said: "As for these arrogant minions, strip them naked, abandon the corpses in the wilderness, and feed the beasts." ”
After speaking, Zhao Hu looked at the corpse of the city guard soldier with indifferent eyes, but did not say a word, only picked up Bi Shi, who was still kneeling on the ground, to soothe the pain in his heart. (To be continued......)
