Chapter 225: The robbery is in progress
Last time, I said that Yang Liu painted a wonderful prospect for his two bad friends, and he could gain fame and fortune.
At the same time, Lu Ya'er, Xiao Mingyue and Wang Lewei were leading their own troops to confront the team led by the younger brother of the barbarian Khan who had sneaked back to the Central Plains to return to the Daimyo.
"Report, General Qiqi, the reply from the barbarian general on the other side has been received, please take a look at it." A soldier rode over to report.
Prior to this, Wang Lewei sent a personal soldier to the big tent of the barbarian Chinese army on the opposite side, and handed over a letter drafted by Lu Ya'er to the other party's generals.
"Haha! The barbarian general on the other side was not a straw bag, but said in the letter that he was very willing to hand over all the gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy, paintings, and antiques he had looted in the Central Plains to us for safekeeping, and that he was willing to keep them secret for us. But their only request was for us to have a cavalry confrontation of five hundred men. Mr. Lu, what do you think? Wang Lewei asked.
"It's nothing more than trying to find a step for yourself and sweep our sharpness by the way. Maybe he still has the bad idea of being lucky enough to capture our Heavenly Thunder General Cannon! In short, the barbarian on the other side is a guy with brains. Lu Ya'er replied lightly.
"So how do we deal with it? The words of refusal seem to have really lost their sharpness. Wang Lewei asked hesitantly.
"Although the barbarians do not value the lives of their men, our soldiers are the elite of a hundred battles, and it is difficult for us to bear any of them being hurt. I think you and I can only take the lead and help the team break through a gap, so as to minimize the casualties of the soldiers. Lu Ya'er said.
"That's what I mean! So let's line up! Wang Lewei replied decisively.
Five hundred cavalry confrontations. There is a limit to the number of formations that can be arranged. Led by Lu Ya'er and Wang Lewei, who were carrying Xiao Mingyue on their backs, your own men and horses formed a triangular pointed cone formation. The barbarians, on the other hand, fought-for-tat, advancing on both wings, giving up the gap in the middle, trying to break the weak wings of the Ming army in one fell swoop.
"Good idea for the barbarians on the other side. When the speed of the charge was raised, you and I led more than 200 men to maneuver to the two flanks, and crushed them at the heaviest part of their formation. I'm going to see if there will be another big man like the eight-foot man he was a few days ago among the barbarians. Lu Ya'er made timely adjustments according to the changes in the enemy position.
The trumpets of both sides sounded, and the excited horses finally took a cheerful step, and slowly accelerated all the way. Finally, after running a few tens of meters, he accelerated to the optimal speed of the charge.
Although the stamina of the horses is extremely strong. But the body still couldn't withstand a few high-speed charges. In general, the speed of horses on the march is basically the same as that of a human walk. Only one man with two horses or one man with three horses can advance lightly and play a beautiful strategy of running thousands of miles.
When the speed of the horses increased to the state of charging, Lu Yaer and Wang Lewei each held weapons and led their men and horses to separate to the two wings. It was like two arrows piercing into the barbarians' cavalry.
Holding a lance. Wang Lewei feels that her strength has been much greater recently than before. Even the reflexes and speed have made a breakthrough beyond ordinary people. In several battles in a row, although Wang Lewei's appearance is not as brave as Mr. Lu, it is also like a divine help. Ordinary soldiers were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of him. So far, Wang Lewei has not suffered any injuries during the battle, not even a single minor scratch.
What Wang Lewei didn't know was that this qiē was all because Lu Ya'er unknowingly blessed her with various buffs and protective spells.
Quickly and accurately using a lance to rush to the front of the enemy's left flank charge, the barbarian, who seemed to be very strong, skillfully pushed off the saddle, and before he had time to observe the results of the battle, Wang Lewei once again aimed his weapon at the next barbarian cavalry. This makes the two guards who follow closely behind seem a little idle.
On the right flank of the team, Lu Ya'er was even more arrogant, brandishing the Daguan knife in her hand, ignoring the huge inertia of the charge, and wantonly harvesting the heads of the barbarian cavalry.
Generally speaking, the huge inertia of the cavalry charge can transfer huge energy to each other through the weapons that come into contact with each other, and no one dares to collide with the other party directly with a weapon like Lu Ya'er, even the legendary Lu Bu may not dare to do so. Because no matter how strong the cavalry is, it is impossible to stick its butt firmly to the horse, and the huge force of the charge can easily knock people off the horse.
Of course, the legendary hoplites were an exception, because the hoplites who wrapped themselves like tanks could not accelerate their horses to the speed of light cavalry, and the weight of their own armor made it difficult to knock people off their horses. But even so, the long lance of the hoplite cavalry still consisted of many moving joints, so that the moment of collision with the opponent, the opponent was pushed off the horse and the first section of the lance was broken, thus releasing excess energy.
When Lu Ya'er led his cavalry to successfully cut through the enemy's right flank, Wang Lewei's progress was not bad, and he successfully maintained a fast horse speed and shuttled through the enemy's left flank ranks. Wherever they passed, the barbarians were either killed or wounded.
It took about three incense sticks to lead Lu Ya'er and Wang Lewei to lead their respective cavalry to repeatedly intersperse in the enemy formation three times, defeating the barbarians to the ground. Although Lu Ya'er and Wang Lewei almost cut down all the enemies in front of them, more barbarians were restrained in the-for-tat charge, and were lightly knocked to the ground by the opposing cavalry, and then trampled into meat by countless horses' hooves. The ratio of losses between the two sides in this battle was about ten to one.
Although the casualties of some soldiers were very heart-wrenching, Lu Yaer and Wang Lewei knew that this battle was inevitable. Of course, they can use the Heavenly Thunder Cannon to deter each other, but the younger brother of the Khan of the barbarians put the main force among the common people, posing as a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, Lu Ya'er and Wang Lewei obviously can't hurt many innocent people in front of everyone.
Lu Ya'er advocated that another purpose of this battle was to let the onlookers see the combat effectiveness of this army and give them enough confidence.
Just as Lu Ya'er imagined, the common people could see the Ming army under the leadership of the general Wang slaughtered more than half of the barbarian army with the same number of people, and the rest of the people fled in the wilderness, cheering thunderously, and many ordinary people only had a feeling of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, no longer moving their feet little by little like walking corpses.
"It's really a dragon and a phoenix among people!" The younger brother of the barbarian khan sighed with a cold breath, "If they have ten times as many men and horses, I am afraid that we will die today and there will be no place to bury us." ”
The barbarian generals around him were speechless. (To be continued.) )
