However, when they pulled the strings and set up the arrows, the enemy scouts on the opposite side actually moved quickly and fired three arrows in a row, and before the cavalry of the Lu family could react, they felt a pain in their bodies, and then there was no reaction. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The nearly ten imperial cavalry rushed up at the first time, stopping the dozen or so war horses that were about to disperse, and while a few cavalrymen comforted these war horses that had just lost their owners, the other cavalry jumped off their horses, drew their sabers and prepared to cut off the heads of the corpses.

An imperial cavalryman who pacified the war horse, seeing this cruel scene, not only was not shocked, but said excitedly: "My lord, we have achieved fifteen meritorious deeds in this way?" It's too easy, right? I only shot three arrows. ”

An officer with the rank of captain smiled: "Didn't you hear the news? Now we are fighting with the private soldiers of the local tyrants, not the regular imperial army. ”

The cavalryman who asked was stupid, and the few cavalrymen who were about to cut off their heads were stunned for a moment, and then immediately examined the corpse, and after a while, only one cavalryman stood up with a head and scolded: "It's really unlucky, fifteen people have been killed, only one meritorious head, and all the others are peasant soldiers!" ”

When everyone was not good-looking, the Wu Commander still kept a smile.

"We're good, the last time the brothers destroyed dozens of enemy troops, didn't they even get a meritorious head?"

Hearing this, everyone could only accept their fate, and in desperation, they couldn't help but laugh up: "Alas, I really envy those secret guards, it is said that they have destroyed all the meritorious heads!" ”

"Hey, don't be envious, they don't calculate the first level when they establish meritorious service, but calculate the completion of the task, we can't even get into the alternate, let alone the regular secret guard."

"That's it, I said that if you want to get a lot of meritorious service, it is still possible to fight against the regular army of the empire, and these regular troops are even small soldiers are meritorious heads."

"Don't dream, it's impossible for us to fight the regular army."

"How so? But we are going to attack the city and plunder the land for the Lord, so why will we clash with the regular army? ”

"Not to mention that the regular army of the empire only exists in the imperial capital now, even if there is a regular army here, it is impossible for us to go to war, you must know that our lord is hanging now, but the rank of colonel of the provincial garrison division of the imperial army."

"Well, yes, our lord still has to act in the tiger skin of the Imperial Army."

"It's good to know, so we can't leak the news in front of outsiders."

"Of course, we are all retainers of the lord, where will the lord's big affairs be ruined?"

"Well, to put it mildly, at first I thought it was expedient for the lord to take us soldiers as retainers, but in fact, he still used us as soldiers." One of the horsemen sighed.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the other cavalrymen immediately changed, and the commander even pressed the hilt of his sword.

The cavalryman didn't care about everyone's expressions and continued: "But I didn't expect that the lord would even know such a confidential matter to us, the sword retainers who are equivalent to soldiers.

"Think about it, a secret like this, in other martial artists, I'm afraid only the top ministers can know about it, and I know from this that the lord really treats us as real retainers."

Hearing these words, the cavalrymen deeply agreed, and they all nodded with excitement on their faces.

And the Wu Commander also put down his hand, said with a stiff face: "Okay, this is the territory of the empire, don't discuss these things anymore, anyway, remember for me in the future, even if our own son asks, we can only say that we are soldiers under Colonel Zhao Hu!" Now let me clear the surrounding enemy scouts! ”

"Yes!" The cavalrymen immediately closed their mouths and rode away with the captain.

As the troops slowly advanced, Lu Hui's brows furrowed more and more, his mood became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of impending danger became more and more fierce.

He sent five batches of scout troops, but none of them came back to report the news, so it can be said that there are no trained regular scouts in his hands, and he can only send ordinary cavalry to serve as scouts. However, the cavalry of hundreds of men was gone, just like the scouts.

The other party's scout ability is so strong? Or are those guys just being ambushed? How can these guys be so stupid! Didn't you order them to run back as soon as they saw the enemy? Do they really think that the other party will let you fight as a rogue?

But that can't be said, it's impossible for your subordinates to be idiots and don't know how to escape.

Hey, it's a pity for my hundreds of war horses! Without so many war horses, I will definitely be ridiculed by those second ancestors when I go back.

Lu Hui, who realized that he could not get the enemy's intelligence first, ordered with a stiff face: "The whole army will speed up and advance, each team will send ten scouts, and order these scouts not to leave the sight of the brigade!" ”

There is really no way to give such an order, otherwise the continuous buns and dogs, and then let people stay away from the army to be scouts, I'm afraid the following will be reversed.

After the order was issued, Lu Hui was very uncomfortable, there was definitely no such a strong scout in Liukou, it should be a Marine of the Third Fleet, these guys were all dealing with pirates, and it was not surprising that the scouts were strong. However, the Marine Corps of the Third Fleet has long been figured out by the Lu family, and it is a well-trained wing.

Fortunately, I brought three wings with me, and it seems that those old guys still see far. Thinking of these, Lu Hui's mood slowly returned to stability.

After receiving the order, the soldiers with horses couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that they didn't have to go to death. However, this mentality only appeared among the cavalry, and the morale of the infantry was still high.

This is a very normal thing, only cavalry can serve as scouts, and the status of cavalry is higher than that of infantry, and the two sides are not in the same formation, so the news of the viciousness and abnormality of the enemy scouts is only circulated among the cavalry, and others are still fantasizing about making achievements.

I don't know why, although Lu Hui ordered to speed up, but compared with the normal march just now, it was a little slower, everyone knows that it was the cavalry of the vanguard that deliberately suppressed the speed to slow down the whole army, but even Lu Hui himself didn't care, it was better to slow down, so that the overall combat effectiveness could be maintained.

I don't know how long I walked, look at the sky, it's already afternoon, according to the habit, after a while you will have to set up camp, if you postpone the time, you can only hold a torch to cook.

Just when everyone was slacking off and dragging a little, the cavalry in the vanguard suddenly stopped suddenly, and then several cavalrymen ran back: "Report! Five miles ahead, spot the enemy! ”

"All troops on alert!" Lu Hui immediately gave the order, and then rushed to the front under the escort of a personal guard.

When I came to the front, the first thing that caught my eye was a plain, and then I saw that at the end of the plain, a black line was slowly expanding.

Lu Hui looked at the pergola with his hand and nodded: "Dense, looking at the width of about three or four miles, there should be 20,000 people, this is the force of the Third Fleet." Actually put on a straight formation? Do you think that a large number of people can defeat us openly?

"Humph! Order the troops to prepare for battle! Lined up in a straight line! Let them understand that the navy should stay at sea and not go on land adventures! ”

"Yes!"

Several pro-soldiers immediately conveyed the words, and those soldiers who were already on alert immediately followed the orders of their superiors, began to wipe the blades, pull the bowstrings and arrange their equipment, and then, under the leadership of their direct superiors, set up a horizontal line formation, and then strode forward amid the sound of drums.

Zhao Hu's side, of course, also found traces of the enemy army, and was waiting quietly. Except for the whispers of the Third Fleet marines on the field, there was silence in the rest of the place, and even the war horses occasionally let out a low chirp.

After listening to the secret guard's report, Zhao Hu looked at a black line in the distance and waved his hand: "Keep going." ”

The order was given, rumbling footsteps sounded, and when both sides could see each other's figures, that is, about a kilometer apart, Lu Hui waved his hand: "The cavalry is dispatched, give them a dismount!" ”

After receiving the order, the cavalry in front immediately formed a formation, and then, under the leadership of the officer, instigated the horses, and then hurried the horses. When the horses were running, they drew their sabers and prepared to give the enemy in front of them a hard blow.

Looking at the cavalry of this almost a wing, Lu Hui was proud for a while, in the empire, cavalry is the cutting-edge force, if the conditions are met, it is not a miracle that the cavalry of this wing breaks through a pure infantry division. Now rush to those gangsters, and it is estimated that it will not take much effort to get them to disperse.

Zhao Hu's side saw the dispatch of the cavalry for the first time, frowned and waved his hand, and a large group of Qin family cavalry immediately pounced. At this time, vanguard warfare, a means of boosting morale and striking at the morale of the enemy, is the moment of the duel between the generals.

Sensing Zhao Hu's frowning, Zhou Wen said cautiously: "My lord, our cavalry is indeed too few, but the transport ship has already gone back to pick up the next batch of soldiers, and this time it should be able to send the remaining internal guard cavalry over." ”

Zhao Hu is also a sensitive person, and immediately knew how Zhou Wen could say this, he shook his head and said: "I don't care about this, I'm just wondering how the other party's cavalry is just equipped with a leather armor and a saber, and it stands to reason that the standard equipment of the imperial cavalry is a set of riding armor, a riding spear, a riding bow, two pots of iron arrows and a saber." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Wen hesitated for a moment before saying: "My lord, this is the standard equipment of the Praetorian Guard cavalry, and the other party is just a local tyrant's private soldier, so it is impossible to equip these." ”
