5. 140 Wild Victory
Moreover, most of these projectiles fell on the heads of horses and cavalrymen, and suddenly a large white smoke dispersed in the heavily armored iron cavalry, followed by the violent coughing of cavalry and the neighing of healthy horses. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A large number of strictly trained war horses screamed frantically and ran in all directions, some cavalry reacted quickly and tightly pulled the reins, but the painful war horses stood up, and in just a few breaths, the vanguard of the heavy armored iron cavalry was in chaos.
The war horses that rushed forward were not able to run ten zhang, and they all fell into the trap and broke their legs and screamed, while the war horses that ran backwards directly disrupted the team behind.
General Yuan was shocked and angry when he saw this: "It's quicklime ......." ”
Yes, the ash bottle is not very useful when defending the city, far less than rolling wood, rocks, and gold water, but it is just right to use at this time.
The heavy cavalry can hold their breath, but the healthy horses will not hold their breath, and the slow movement of the heavy cavalry is simply a living skill.
General Yuan, who was furious, looked at the remaining fifty zhang distance, and said in a loud voice: "The target is directly ahead...... Charge....... ”
On weekdays, he was willing to use his rich war horse to open the way, but at this time he had to be ruthless, it was getting dark, and there were not many horse traps in front of him.
In the shouts of General Yuan, the heavy armored iron cavalry in the center drove forward in an orderly manner, and the crazy war horses in front had nowhere to flee but to turn around and walk towards the front with traps.
The neighing of the terrible war horses resounded in the sky, and all the heavy armored iron cavalry masks shed sad tears, and it was their closest comrades-in-arms who fell to the ground.
With General Yuan's order, the crossbowmen behind also advanced rapidly, and they had to be within a hundred zhang to suppress the crossbowmen on Yin Lei's side.
After sacrificing more than 1,000 horses, the trap in front of General Yuan was almost completely covered, and General Yuan personally supervised the formation and led the heavy armored iron cavalry to begin to advance, at this time the crossbowmen behind were also in place, and countless crossbow arrows flew towards Yin Lei's position with a whistling sound.
The crossbow arrows fell like raindrops, and the crossbowmen of the Dragon Kingdom were all suppressed and did not dare to show their heads, Yin Lei carried the 'absolute space' and looked out carefully, but saw that under the cover of the crossbowmen, the heavy-armored iron cavalry was about to rush out of the trap pit, and it was only more than thirty zhang away from his temporary camp.
Yin Lei saw that he hurriedly waved his hand to Wang Qing next to him, and dozens of top masters reached out and grabbed a handful in the bucket containing quicklime bullets next to him, and then Yin Lei took the lead, and a large number of bullets shot towards the approaching heavy armored iron cavalry again.
These bullets shot from the hands of the supreme masters went straight to the heavy armored iron cavalry below with a loud roar against the rain of arrows, and white clouds suddenly bloomed in the air, which was the projectile shot by the rain of arrows.
This time, the heavy armored iron cavalry below was also prepared, and they waved the heavy lance in their hands one after another.
Streams of white mist spread out on the heavy lance, and the heavy armored iron cavalry was shrouded in a layer of mist, and the sight of both sides was immediately blocked.
This time, Yin Lei and they also shot blindly, but there were too many projectiles, and many of them still fell on the heads of the war horses, and hundreds of war horses entered the quicklime in their eyes and let out a terrible scream again and lost control.
General Yuan was furious, and he roared angrily: "Advance the ...... with all your might." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and rushed forward, followed by a large group of people swarming.
On the temporary camp, Yin Lei didn't look back and said, "Brother Qing, you take people to withdraw first." ”
"Well, don't be in love with war."
Wang Qing said that he led the remaining hundreds of private troops in the camp to retreat to the north under the cover of shields, leaving only Yin Lei and a group of top masters and Jindan Qi practitioners.
Seeing that Wang Qing was gone, Yin Lei and the others quickly threw out all the remaining projectiles in their hands, and then dozens of people also flew out of the camp and chased after Wang Qing and the others.
A moment later, a loud noise came, and the temporary camp dozens of feet long fell to the ground with a bang, and a large number of gray-faced heavy armored iron cavalry pushed in with neat steps, and at the same time, the light cavalry from the left and right also arrived near the camp.
A light cavalry general led by him shouted loudly: "General Yuan, their main forces have withdrawn, let's chase or not." ”
General Yuan was already so angry that the three corpses jumped violently, and there was smoke in the seven orifices, and the heavy armored iron cavalry that had not yet injured the enemy had suffered heavy losses, although there were few injuries, but the war horses had lost three thousand, which made him swallow this breath.
At this time, he also saw Yin Lei, Wang Qing and others who were retreating into the distance, so he said hatefully: "Chase...... Heaven and earth have to chase, General Xu, your people cover my two wings, they are likely to ambush spearmen in front, heralds...... Let General Wang's crossbowmen follow. ”
Saying that, General Yuan personally led the team to bite the shadows of Yin Lei and the others in hot pursuit, but his 10,000 heavily armored iron cavalry had not really started the battle, and there were only six or seven thousand people left.
Although the heavy-armored iron cavalry ran much faster than the infantry, it was still much worse than Yin Lei and the others, and after a few miles, the shadows of Yin Lei and the others became blurred.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, General Yuan began to hesitate whether to chase down, and at this moment, the sound of heavy horses' hooves sounded in the distance directly ahead.
"Report ...... Report to General Yuan, there is a large group of heavy cavalry ahead, and it is getting dark to find out the detailed number. ”
The horse ran back quickly, General Yuan's face changed when he heard this, he hurriedly began to reorganize the formation, and after a while, through the dim starlight, he saw rows of heavy armored iron cavalry of the Dragon Kingdom slowly rushing over.
A general behind General Yuan came to his vicinity and said, "General Yuan, our spearmen are about ten miles behind, should we retreat or wait for the spearmen to catch up?" ”
General Yuan's eyes flashed when he heard this, and said: "He is also a heavy cavalry, am I still afraid that he will not succeed?" Their main force is still in Anxi County, and it is impossible to bring too many heavy cavalry here, even if they have 10,000, what can I do?
And...... They have traveled a long way, and we have just given them a head-on blow to avenge the revenge they have just had, and the sons and daughters of the people...... Rush up with me ....... ”
General Yuan couldn't help but feel heartache when he remembered the more than 3,000 war horses he had lost just now, and in a fit of rage, he took the lead and began to charge with more than 6,000 armored iron cavalry.
Seeing that General Yuan launched a charge, Yin Lei was overjoyed, and he immediately beckoned the leader of the five thousand heavily armored iron cavalry, Yan Shengxue, and General Yan lined up in a cone formation to kill him, and a big battle kicked off in the night.
The two torrents of steel quickly approached each other, and when the distance between the two sides was more than ten zhang, the red-robed General Yuan's gaze suddenly fell on the heavily armored iron cavalry opposite, and then his face suddenly turned pale.
I saw that the heavy lance held by the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Dragon Kingdom was more than three zhang, which was one zhang longer than their heavy lance, which means that the opposite side stabbed them into a cold heart, and their lance could not reach others.
But what surprised him was more than that, just when General Yuan saw the opponent's weapon clearly, he only heard Yin Lei shouting: "The target is thirty zhang away...... Throwing....... ”
Yin Lei gave an order, and countless cold lights rose from the middle and rear of the Dragon Kingdom army, and just before the two sides met in close combat, these cold lights fell behind General Yuan with a huge whistling sound, and a terrible scream sounded, and General Yuan's Chinese army was in chaos.
The space of more than ten zhang was a few breaths away from each other, and the front armies of the two sides finally collided in one place.
The heavy lances of the Dragon Kingdom are generally about three feet and five feet, and under the inertia of the powerful charge, a heavy armored iron cavalry in front of the charge Ziyun has been worn by the heavy lance and fallen off the horse.
Then the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Dragon Kingdom put aside the heavy lance in his hand, and then took off his heavy lance from the bird's wing ring and fought with the purple cloud heavy armored iron cavalry behind him.
The heavy armored iron cavalry behind Ziyun had just undergone the baptism of the flying lance, and the formation was chaotic, and it was beaten by the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Kingdom with a single charge, and with only half a pillar of incense, Yin Lei led people to break through the obstacles, penetrated the battle formation of more than 6,000 people in Ziyun, and killed it from the front.
Yin Lei looked back and saw that Ziyun's heavily armored iron cavalry had been scattered, and most of them were crushed by this charge.
The generals who followed behind Yin Lei were overjoyed, and everyone immediately turned their horses' heads and killed General Yuan and the others who were about to regroup.
Next to him, General Xu was stunned with thousands of light cavalry, but he didn't dare to go up to help, how could the light cavalry dare to fight with the heavy cavalry in close combat? That's death.
The one who couldn't intervene with him was the crossbowman who followed, not to mention that the two sides couldn't tell the enemy from the enemy in the melee, just like General Yuan said just now, even if they let them shoot within ten zhang, they wouldn't pose any threat to the heavy armored iron cavalry.
Half an hour later, Yin Lei led this heavy cavalry to kill several times in the Ziyun army, and when he came out of the Ziyun army again, he saw rows and columns of spearmen in the distance heading towards the battlefield.
Yin Lei looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "All the sons...... That's it for today, everyone will go back with me. ”
As he spoke, Yin Lei wielded a heavy lance to knock off a Ziyun general, and then he killed it again, this time he took the lead in killing the enemy and then retreated to the north.
Ziyun's spearmen finally arrived, and when the general soldiers of this team looked at General Yuan and the sparse heavy armored iron cavalry with less than 2,000 people left, his face was so gloomy that he was about to squeeze out of the water, and General Yuan lost too badly in this battle.
More than ten miles away, Wang Qing had already led everyone and the heavy armored iron cavalry, and later the two thousand light cavalry built the camp, when Yin Lei brought people back, the camp released hundreds of police posts, and then the four gates were closed.
In this battle, the 5,000 heavily armored iron cavalry led by Yin Lei lost no more than 500 people, but the enemy was killed more than 4,000, and the difference in losses between the two sides was nearly ten times.
General Yan Shengxueyan, the leader of the 5,000 heavily armored iron cavalry, could hardly believe that this was true, under normal circumstances, this kind of team with similar strength would fight each other, and the damage would be more than twice that of a big victory.
The next day, when Yin Lei first sent out hundreds of scouts, and then led more than 4,000 armored iron cavalry, 5,000 light cavalry, and 2,000 private troops to the south, when they came to yesterday's battlefield, this place had been cleared.
At this time, a detective horse in the distance came galloping quickly, and this person in the distance shouted: "Report ...... General Xuanyuan, the enemy occupies the military camp we built in front of us yesterday, and they have set up tens of thousands of traps around this military camp. ”
Yin Lei listened to it, could it be that the enemy actually built the same trap like himself?
"Probe and report again, and at the same time expand the scope of the investigation, and see if they have ambushes everywhere?"
"Yes......."
The man turned around and got on his horse and walked away quickly, Yin Lei turned around and said to Yan Shengxue, Wang Qing and Zhu Zhenguo, the leader of the five thousand light cavalry: "General Yan, General Zhu, Brother Qing, they are quite impressed by my trap, let's go over and take a look." ”
Yin Lei said that he took the lead and left, and the three of them threw themselves to the ground at this time, and hurriedly followed after listening to his words.
Half an hour later, Yin Lei and the others appeared near the camp they had used to block the Ziyun Iron Cavalry, and Yin Lei couldn't help but smile when he saw the tens of thousands of horse traps he had invented around the camp.
"General Yan, General Zhu, Brother Qing, this team has been frightened by us, and it seems that it is no longer a problem."
Yan Shengxue hurriedly said, "General Xuanyuan, what should we do next?" ”
Yin Lei sighed in a deep voice: "Although they are not afraid, but we can't be unguarded, yesterday they suffered heavy losses, but their heavy armored iron cavalry still has about 5,000, and the rest of the troops are not damaged, if we return to Anxi County at this time, this team still has a lot of threats to us."
Before dark today, Zhu Seventeen will lead the people rescued from Changping to come back with our captives, and the pressure on General Zhao is not small, I think ...... Why don't you let General Zhu go back with 5,000 light cavalry, and General Yan and my 2,000 private troops will stay with these 30,000 people for a few days, how about it? ”
Zhu Zhenguo couldn't help but say: "General Xuanyuan, although the enemy has suffered heavy damage, the strength is still several times that of ours, if they find out that our troops are scattered, they are likely to come out to ...... you again." ”
Yin Lei smiled faintly and said, "General Zhu, don't worry, as long as they dare to come out, I promise that they won't be able to go back." ”
Although I don't know what Yin Lei can do, whether it is Wang Qing, Yan Shengxue or Zhu Zhenguo, they have no doubt about Yin Lei's words.
Therefore, Zhu Zhenguo hesitated for a moment and said: "Okay, then I will return to General Zhao, and I will ask General Xuanyuan here." ”
Yan Sheng said: "Brother Zhu, be careful when you go, try not to let Ziyun's scouts find out." ”
Yin Lei shook his head and said: "Although they are trapped here, there are not many scouts left around, it is impossible to hide from them, and we have few people, so it is impossible to surround them and cut off their communication with the outside."
So...... Brother Zhu is still going to go clearly, so that they can't figure out the situation but don't dare to mess around, as long as it drags on for three days, our task will be completed. ”
Zhu Zhenguo said: "Okay, then I'll order my troops to leave now, otherwise I won't be able to rush back to Anxi County before dark." ”
Then Zhu Zhenguo left with 5,000 light cavalry, leaving only 4,000 heavy cavalry and Yin Lei's 2,000 private troops.
When Zhu Zhenguo's people walked away, Wang Qing said: "Zongheng, I always feel that something is wrong, they still have more than 30,000 people, and they have a complete range of troops, and there are more than 5,000 heavy-armored iron cavalry alone, why do they still make such a gesture?" ”
Yin Lei heard this, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Of course they have a conspiracy, but they are smart but they are mistaken by cleverness, they shouldn't be, they shouldn't trap themselves in this small camp, as long as the horses are sure that they don't ambush outside, I won't let them cry in time." ”
