At the beginning of March, the cold wind was still blowing, and the ice and snow on the road from Taiping to Changping County melted, and the muddy water splashed under the feet of the war horses, and the infantry were covered in wet mud below the knees. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yin Lei, Ma Kaiyi, Ren Baohui, Yao Brothers, Wang Qing, Zhang Xi, Mi Feiyang and others rode horses in front of the team, and a hundred of their own soldiers guarded them inch by inch, and in front of them were 3,000 vanguard troops.

This time, Yin Lei brought not two thousand elite soldiers but three thousand, and other masters pretended to be these two thousand elite soldiers leading horses and falling and other miscellaneous services, among which there were many top masters.

"Brother Ma, we can send elite soldiers to take Changping first, and wait for the ordinary soldiers in the back to receive it."

Yin Lei was really uncomfortable, and his elite soldiers couldn't stop it from traveling 200 miles a day, but now they were walking 50 miles a day with the team, a full four days, and there were still more than 100 miles from Changping.

Ma Kaiyi couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Zongheng, our elite soldiers are fast, but what about ordinary soldiers?" In the same way, our elite soldiers go fast, and Ziyun's elite soldiers are not slow, if our elite soldiers leave the brigade, as long as the other party comes to the rear of a thousand elites, the 10,000 ordinary soldiers behind can only die in battle except for surrendering.

The war is becoming more and more complicated now, elite soldiers are important, but ordinary soldiers are also indispensable, and they still need to protect the cities that have been defeated. ”

Yin Lei couldn't help but ask, "Brother Ma, the current ordinary soldiers are much stronger than before, right?" Why can you only travel 50 miles a day? ”

"You're right, ordinary soldiers are much stronger than before, even under the current conditions, they can walk seventy miles a day, and they can travel a hundred miles a day on normal roads, but what about baggage? Don't forget about our mission. ”

Yes, the Kaishan Guards are the vanguard of the entire army, they are responsible for opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and reconnoitering the enemy situation in front of them as the main force.

Yin Lei was angry when he heard this, and the more than 3,000 people led by Wang Qing, Zhang Xi and Mi Feiyang behind him were even more aggrieved than Yin Lei, although these people were also soldiers, they had never participated in formal marches, especially at the speed of ordinary soldiers.

But after all, they have lived in the army for more than three years, and the military discipline has been kept in mind, if this is more than 2,000 heroes on the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will be turned upside down.

At this time, Ren Baohui said beside him: "Zongheng, your soldiers must not have pulled out real knives and real guns in actual combat, you look at their appearance is only afraid that they are stronger than you, if you don't sharpen their edges and corners, it will be difficult to command in the future." ”

Yin Lei heard the movement in his heart and hurriedly looked back, but saw that although his soldiers in the distance were also rushing forward step by step, their eyes were full of light, just like a monster with energy but nowhere to emit, this cultivation was much worse than the calm veterans beside them.

Yin Lei immediately glanced at Wang Qing, Wang Qing's war horse slowed down, and after a while, he dissolved into the private army behind him.

In fact, Yin Lei's private army is no stranger to Ma Kaiyi's subordinates, Yin Lei once asked Ma Kaiyi to train them for a year, and that was the only time these private troops traveled far away, but unfortunately that trip was also an informal march.

Thinking of his frizzy appearance just now, Yin Lei's face couldn't help but feel a fever, and he quickly changed the topic and asked Ma Kaiyi for some experience on the battlefield.

Time passed slowly, and by noon the procession had finally set foot on a dry and loose dirt road.

Three days later, when the sun began to set in the west, Kaishanwei came to dozens of miles outside the north gate of Changping County.

Then Ma Kaiyi's orders were conveyed one after another, and hundreds of spies quickly left in all directions.

"How far are we from the Chinese army in the rear?"

"General Hui, the army led by General Zhao is still more than ninety miles away from us, and it is expected to arrive in the evening the day after tomorrow."

"Order: Go down and set up camp thirty miles away from Changping, to prevent the enemy from coming out and attacking the camp while our position is unstable."

"Yes, General."

Another herald left, Ma Kaiyi turned to the other herald and said: "The herald Wei Jianzhuang led 500 people into the mountain to cut down trees to build a rejection horse, Ye Bingpeng led 1,000 people into the mountain to cut down trees and build a ladder, and Tian Jianqi took a hundred fast horses to explore the ...... around Changping County." ”

Before Ma Kaiyi finished speaking, a horn sounded in the direction of Changping County in the distance, and then a team of about 5,000 cavalry rushed straight towards Kaishanwei, looking at its momentum, these 5,000 people were by no means ordinary soldiers.

Ma Kaiyi saw it and said coldly: "Ren Baohui, you lead three thousand cavalry to meet the battle, Yao Jingjin, you bring two thousand crossbowmen to help, don't let them entangle General Ren, otherwise the army in the city will be exhausted, we are not opponents, and Wan Youlong is ordered to step up the construction of pits and traps." ”

The two of them hurried away, and the herald went down.

Yin Lei's eyes rolled and hurriedly said, "Brother Ma, how about I bring some people to help?" ”

Ma Kaiyi hesitated for a moment and said: "It's okay, I know that your team is still very strong in terms of individual combat power, and it is also beneficial for them to go to the front to take a look, Yao Jingyin, you can accompany Zongheng." ”

Yin Lei was overjoyed when he heard this, and he hurriedly said to Mi Feiyang: "Mi ...... General, General Wang, lead your men with me. ”

These two teams are the official formations owned by Yin Lei, of which 2,000 are ordinary elite soldiers, 200 Shi Chang and 20 Bai are top masters, and the other more than 100 top masters are hidden in miscellaneous labor with all the masters.

In the sound of horses' hooves, Yin Lei rushed forward with two thousand private troops who had been suffocated for several days and were about to go crazy behind Ren Baohui, but when Yin Lei stopped on the left side of Yao Jingjin's two thousand crossbowmen, the private army behind him knew that they were just spectators in this battle, and the disappointment and emotions immediately spread, and the originally aggressive team immediately turned into defeated roosters.

Yin Lei couldn't help but smile when he saw it: "Brother Qing, you see that although their courage is commendable, and their kung fu is stronger than ordinary soldiers, their overall quality is much worse than that of veterans, how can we hone and hone their hearts?" ”

Wang Qing said: "Take your time, I will remind them at any time, fortunately, you find the problem early, if you wait for them to condense the golden pill and then want to change, it will be too late." ”

The battle came much faster than Yin Lei and the others imagined, and the two teams did not have any nonsense at all, and directly launched a charge with the momentum, Ren Bao, who was directly in front of the team, stabbed directly at each other with the tip of a giant sharp cone, and the other party rushed out with a huge serrated fanged war knife to face each other, and the two sides immediately fought together.

Both sides were cavalry, and the men immediately turned on their backs when they met each other, and countless healthy horses neighed and were brought down by the inertia of the knights on their backs, and the blood of men and horses spilled on the ground, and a dragon warrior had just beheaded an enemy under his horse, and before he could withdraw his hand, a spear stabbed diagonally through his chest.......

This is not the first time Yin Lei has been on the battlefield, but such a fierce fight is also the first time he has encountered it, not to mention other people, all the soldiers who were still enthusiastic just now showed a shocked look on their faces, which is completely different from their usual mutual competition, even if their kung fu far exceeds that of the people on the battlefield, they are also shocked.

Yin Lei's eyes swept and found that these two thousand people had all kinds of emotions, including fearful, excited, shocked and eager to try, all kinds of emotions and all kinds of reflections entered Yin Lei's eyes.

The battle of cavalry is very different from that of infantry, the battlefield of infantry is basically a battle line several zhang wide, the soldiers in front do not die, and the people in the rear can only watch, if 10,000 infantry fight for a day, half of them will die.

However, cavalry is known for its speed, and what they are best at is the tactic of gouging, often penetrating into the enemy's interior as soon as they make contact, even if they encounter the same cavalry.

At the same time, their ranks were relatively loose, so the two sides infiltrated each other as soon as they came into contact, and the battle soon began in all directions, but in a matter of moments, more than half of the casualties on both sides were killed.

Yin Lei didn't see anything, but Yao Jingyin's face sank, Ren Baohui had two thousand fewer people than the other party, originally Ma Kaiyi thought that his three thousand cavalry had rich combat experience and combat power was also very strong, as long as the other party was not an elite soldier, five thousand should not be an opponent.

But he was wrong, in just a moment, Ren Baohui's right flank was suddenly in chaos, and a thousand neatly dressed soldiers on the other side actually rushed over, and at this time, there were just two thousand crossbowmen between this thousand elite soldiers and Yin Lei's team.

"It's not good, this thousand is a ...... elite soldiers."

Yao Jingyin's face changed suddenly, and at this moment, Yao Jingjin's two thousand crossbowmen suddenly let out a huge buzzing sound, and countless stray arrows slashed through the sky and shot towards this thousand elite soldiers.

"Defensive ......."

There was a sudden loud shout in the opponent's formation, and the thousand people shrank violently to the middle, and then countless shield flowers unfolded, and sharp arrows rained down, but they were all bounced off.

"Forward......

The sound of broken horses' hooves came, and the thousand elite soldiers trotted all the way up, and if the archers let people get close, it would be over, Yao Jingjin saw it and shouted: "Endless...... Slowly step back. ”

The sharp arrows in the crossbowmen's formation fell, and then all the crossbowmen quickly retreated, and the team behind Ma Kaiyi in the distance was also moving forward, and at this moment, a loud roar came from the opponent's formation: "Charge......." ”

The team that had been gathered together to defend the bow and arrow suddenly expanded outward, and the colorful body shield light dispersed, and these elite soldiers rushed towards the archer formation quickly while dialing the carved feathers, which was really worthy of being elite soldiers, and the formation was not chaotic at all when charging.

"Zongheng, isn't it time for us to make a move?"

Yin Lei stared at the thousand elite soldiers who were biting the crossbowmen, his face was gloomy like water, and when he heard Wang Qing's words, Yin Lei shook his head and said, "Let them advance another thirty zhang...... Twenty zhang ...... Ten zhang ....... ”

Yin Lei raised the Xuanyuan battle knife in his hand while staring at the thousand elite soldiers, he knew that these thousand elite soldiers did not take the two thousand people not far away in their eyes at all, they only wanted to bite the two thousand archers in front of them now, so as to attract Ma Kaiyi's team, and Yin Lei wanted to leave these thousand elite soldiers behind.

As the Xuanyuan War Knife in Yin Lei's hand rose higher and higher, the private army behind him calmed down, and at the same time, the sound of heavy breathing sounded in a staggered manner, and everyone showed excitement, they knew that it was their turn to play, and they had been looking forward to this battle for a long time.

Suddenly, Yin Lei's Xuanyuan battle knife in his hand waved violently, and at the same time he shouted: "Brother Mi cut off their retreat, Brother Qing will come with me to ......." ”

With Yin Lei's roar, he brandished the Xuanyuan War Knife like an arrow from the string and slashed at the waist of the thousand elite soldiers, followed by Wang Qing and Zhang Xi.

The two thousand private troops behind immediately stretched out their protective bodies, shouted loudly and cheered loudly to follow, and the difference with the one thousand elite soldiers on the opposite side was that the two thousand private troops moved, except for the one thousand in the middle, the formation of five hundred people on each side was scattered.

He didn't see that the five hundred men on the left did not participate in the battle, and they circled to the other side under the leadership of Mi Feiyang.

In the distance, the person led by the Ziyun elite soldiers was a strong man in his forties, this person stepped down the black-armored iron unicorn with a gold-topped mountain lance, and when he saw this, there was a sneer in his eyes, and the team that couldn't even maintain the formation came up and was just sent to death, how did he know that the thousand people scattered on both sides were the 'flower team' that had disappeared on the battlefield for a long time,

Yin Lei at the front slowed down slightly, he couldn't get too far away from the team, seeing Yin Lei leading people to rush the man, he made a move backwards, and a big man with a double hammer and red armor stepped down the blood-colored lightning horse and greeted him with a shout.

Seeing Yin Lei wielding the Xuanyuan battle knife when he approached, this person smiled and said, "I wanted you to live a little longer, but I didn't expect you to send your heart wholeheartedly, then Grandpa Wang will give you a ride first." ”

This person said that the blood-colored lightning horse rushed towards Yin Lei quickly, and at the same time, a pair of hundreds of pounds of giant hammers in his hand smashed down on Yin Lei's head with a sharp whistle, and Yin Lei saw it and hurriedly pressed it lightly on the saddle and jumped into the air.

"Vertical and horizontal tricks ......."

In mid-air, Yin Lei shouted angrily, and the Xuanyuan battle knife in his hand suddenly turned into a rain of swords and fell downward, the big man laughed, and the giant hammer in his left hand slashed an arc towards Yin Lei's body, while his right hand hammer protected the top of his head.

Yin Lei sneered when he saw it and said, "You leave it for me......." ”

Then the rain of swords in the sky suddenly shrank to the middle, and the Xuanyuan war knife slashed at the hammer head with great accuracy.

There was a loud bang, and then the man and the scarlet lightning horse that had sat down let out a terrible scream.

'Poof' a man and a horse fell three feet away, and then everyone saw that the blood-colored lightning horse was broken off all fours, and the man's mouth and nose were bleeding for a long time, and the double hammer in his hand had been lost, and he was holding his left arm with his right hand and looking at Yin Lei with frightened eyes.

In mid-air, Yin Lei fell upside down and fell onto his horse, and then he shouted, "Zhong'erlang...... Kill ...... with me. ”

Saying that, Yin Lei swung his sword and rushed into the opponent's battle formation, at this time, it was too late for the other party's leader to send someone to resist Yin Lei, he underestimated the team next to him who was watching the enemy's formation.

This man hurriedly pulled out the black armor iron qilin and ran back, he had to stop Yin Lei, otherwise let Yin Lei take the lead in cutting through his team, even if he was all elite soldiers, he would suffer heavy losses.

When he went back to chase Yin Lei, Wang Qing and Zhang Xi behind him had already swept in with a storm with a thousand pure teams and five hundred flower teams, and the cavalry was at great speed, and the two sides quickly launched an all-round battle with each other as soon as they made contact.

The Xuanyuan war knife in Yin Lei's hand waved like the wind, there was no enemy in front of the horse, and the enemy was all elite soldiers who had trained Gang Qi to more than nine layers, among which there were many top masters, but no matter whether it was an ordinary weapon or a flying sword, they were all smashed by Yin Lei with a knife, and if it was a person or a horse in front of him, it was also a knife in half.

Rushing into the opponent's formation for twenty zhang, Yin Lei's speed was not slow, and behind him, Wang Qing and Zhang Xi also unfolded their sabers and killed a bloody path with Yin Lei.

Just when Yin Lei slashed another flying sword flying from the side, a black shadow flashed in the corner of his eye, and the black-armored iron unicorn arrived, and at the same time, the gold-topped mountain lance nodded towards Yin Lei with a terrifying scream.
