Chapter 67: A dilemma
Like five unstoppable steel monsters, the five wedge-shaped columns rushed straight into the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, as if they were in a no-man's land, and everywhere they passed, the Blood Moon Killers who could not dodge were killed.
The sergeants at the front of the column held guns to kill the Blood Moon Killer, and the sergeants behind them, some with crossbows, some threw their spears, drew their swords and slashed.
Their combination of short-range and ranged attacks caused the Blood Moon Killers to suffer heavy casualties and chaos.
However, there is no shortage of skilled Blood Moon Slayers, who occasionally attack cavalry columns and cause trouble.
In the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, a man dressed in black, with a cold complexion and a blood-red crescent-shaped pattern tattooed on his forehead, was leaning on a wooden chair.
Around him, a dozen Blood Moon Killers guarded him.
"Lord Zuo Protector, these cavalry attacks are too fierce, brothers, ......"
A Blood Moon Killer was nervously reporting to him about the situation.
The person on the wooden chair was the Left Protector of the Blood Moon Killer Group, black and impermanent.
"Hmph, send orders to all the prison masters, mobilize manpower, and organize a counterattack."
"Yes!"
After the cavalry team completely annihilated the knights of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment, it formed five wedge-shaped columns and rushed into the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, with the momentum of rushing through the crowd in one fell swoop.
With the order issued by Black Impermanence, in an instant, the Blood Moon Killer launched a fierce attack on the cavalry from both sides.
Many of the cavalry sergeants were shot off their horses, but the cavalry column did not stop advancing.
After giving the order, he jumped onto the roof of a carriage and scanned the scene in front of him.
Soon, when his gaze fell on Li Jiancheng, he suddenly frowned.
"How could it be him?"
At this moment, Li Jiancheng also noticed the black impermanence on the roof of the carriage.
Li Jiancheng said angrily: "Black impermanence! ”
Li Jiancheng was in the center of the cavalry column, unable to move left and right, and could only follow the cavalry column to rush forward.
So, he quickly took out his repeater and fired several crossbow arrows at Black Impermanence one after another.
However, after the crossbow arrow was shot next to Black Impermanence, it seemed to encounter an invisible wall, and it was bounced away in an instant.
Hei Wuchang's face was determined, and he didn't move at all, staring at Li Jiancheng, who was gradually leaving.
The Blood Moon Killer crowd was about sixty meters deep, and in a short time, the forward of the cavalry column had already rushed out of the crowd.
However, the Blood Moon Slayer, who gradually came to his senses, realized that he could not engage in melee combat with the cavalry, so he chose to throw his sword and attack the cavalry.
Soon, more than thirty sergeants of the cavalry column were knocked out of their horses, and they were then killed by the swarming Blood Moon killers.
Just when the rear team of the cavalry team was about to rush through the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, many powerful Blood Moon Killers chased the cavalry team with their swords.
Although this did not cause serious casualties to the cavalry, many of the sergeants in the rear were killed by throwing swords.
Hei Impermanence never made a move, he looked at the back of the cavalry team in the distance, and was silent.
A Blood Moon Killer reported to him: "Lord Left Protector, this cavalry team has left. ”
Hei Wuchang turned his head and glanced at the surroundings, his brows furrowed.
Since the Han Dynasty raised his army, the war has not gone smoothly and has been defeated repeatedly.
This time, he was ordered to escort the important supplies of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment, leave the state, and move to the south.
Unexpectedly, he was besieged in this valley by Yu Gongli's troops for two days, and he could not advance or retreat.
Today, the onslaught of this cavalry team cost him almost four horses.
In one battle, there were such serious losses, which was unique in the history of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.
At present, at the time of employing people, there are a large number of casualties.
The next road to transportation, perhaps, will be even more difficult.
As soon as he thought of this, his expression became more and more solemn.
After a long time, Hei Wuchang ordered: "Straighten out the manpower, wait here, notify the flying ash and annihilation, carry two boxes of supplies, and follow me to the Taniguchi military camp." ”
"Yes."
In the valley, the cavalry team did not stop after rushing through the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, but galloped straight forward.
Li Jiancheng asked with concern: "General Yang, have the casualties been counted?" ”
The battle with the Blood Moon Killer Group just now must have caused a lot of casualties
Yang Wengan was stunned for a moment, and reported in a low tone: "There are fifty-three brothers, and they can't keep up. ”
Li Jiancheng was shocked when he heard the news, and the hand holding the reins of the horse couldn't help but tighten a little.
On this trip, General Shi Xiang sent him 200 horsemen, and now in the first battle, he lost a quarter of his men and horses, which made Li Jiancheng extremely distressed.
"Blood Moon Killer Group, we have another debt between us."
At this moment, Sima Jiu drove his horse to Li Jiancheng's side.
Sima Jiu said in a deep voice: "This account, sooner or later, we will settle it with the Blood Moon Killer Group." ”
Li Jiancheng nodded solemnly. "Hmm!"
"But there's one thing I don't understand?"
"Oh? What's the matter? Li Jiancheng was curious.
"The Blood Moon Killer Regiment serves the King of Han, and Yu Gongli is a general under the command of the King of Han, and he also serves the King of Han."
"So what?"
Li Jiancheng didn't know what Sima Jiu wanted to ask.
Sima Jiu added thoughtfully, "Earlier, Brother Shu mentioned that the rebels at the mouth of the valley may have been guarding against the direction of the valley, and we encountered the Blood Moon Killer Regiment in the valley. ”
Li Jiancheng said: "You mean that a conflict broke out between the rebels and the Blood Moon Killer Regiment? ”
Sima Jiu nodded and said, "Other than that, I can't think of any other possibility." Besides, in the valley, we only encountered the Blood Moon Killers. ”
"The two forces that also serve the King of Han have a contradiction." Li Jiancheng suddenly showed a touch of schadenfreude.
Wang Jue interjected: "The judgment of the ninth brother is not unreasonable. ”
Li Jiancheng was quite curious. "Oh? Why did the uncle say this? ”
"Did you notice the carriage in the Blood Moon Slayer's crowd?"
Li Jiancheng said: "Among them, there are indeed dozens of carriages. ”
"Look at your feet again."
Li Jiancheng looked down at the ground and said in surprise: "This is, a rut, a very deep rut." ”
"Before, when we entered the valley, we didn't find ruts, but here there are many of them."
Li Jiancheng said suddenly: "These carriages are coming from the north, and the army at the mouth of the valley is most likely to intercept these carriages?" ”
Wang Qi said: "Yes, I think these carriages are also the focus of their contradictions. ”
"Haha, now, there's a good show."
Sima Jiu joked: "It's a pity that we don't have time to watch the play. ”
Wang Jue's face was deep and thoughtful, "I'm more curious about what kind of contradictions exist between them than watching the play." ”
At this moment, Yang Wengan reminded: "Perhaps, now, there are more important things to deal with. ”
Sima Jiu looked in the direction of Yang Wengan's finger and was taken aback.
In front of them, at the mouth of the valley, a huge military camp completely blocked the mouth of the valley.
"Brother Jian, the meaning of the word dilemma, I can understand it today."
"What's next?"
"Or, try the old way again."
"I hope it does."
