Chapter 178: Acting
"I ...... We tested ......" the deputy stammered, pale.
"Boom ......"
At this moment, not far away, a cavalry team of about twenty horsemen arrived.
"Poof—poof—"
Arrows came from the cavalry and landed accurately at the soldiers of the Divine Horse Battalion.
Some of the soldiers of the Divine Pony Battalion had to mount their horses or make other defenses, but as a result, their bodies shook and they couldn't walk.
"Haha, we are defeated, defeated, a thousand Shenju battalions, the whole army is annihilated, the whole army is annihilated...... Zhang Haoran raised his head and laughed loudly.
Li Yi did not let his subordinates approach, but let his subordinates ride their horses around the perimeter of this divine horse camp while shooting the enemy with an arrow from a distance.
Ten top marksmen, each of whom is extremely fast in archery, and in the blink of an eye, he shot more than a hundred soldiers of the Shenju Battalion.
"Kill!"
Suddenly, in the crowd, Zhang Haoran turned his head, looked at Li Yi and his party, and shouted.
Immediately, many soldiers of the Shenju Battalion acted quickly, turned over their horses, and quickly rushed towards Li Yi and his party.
These people, there are about four or five hundred.
"Sure enough......"
Li Yi said secretly.
Fortunately, he knew from the white enemy that some high-level elite habits of the Great Shang Imperial Court could not let all the soldiers eat it together, even if it had been determined that it was safe, no more than half of the people would eat new grain and water, and the rest would eat old grain and water, and if there was no old grain and water, they would not eat it first.
In this way, even if there is a problem with the food, it will not lose the combat effectiveness of all the members.
If he didn't know about it, he really thought that the other party was all poisoned, and recklessly led people to rush over.
At that time, hundreds of soldiers of the Shenju battalion rushed up, and I am afraid that no matter how powerful they are, they will be besieged and killed.
The head of the Shenju battalion is really a good actor.
also looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, saying that the whole army would be wiped out.
Presumably, it was also deliberately performed for them to lure them over.
If the other party is not poisoned, it is okay to detect the poison early, and if it is really poisoned, it is powerful enough to react in such a timely manner.
"Withdraw!"
After a group of subordinates shot arrows for a while, Li Yi said calmly.
Immediately, everyone began to retreat, but not really retreated, but while retreating, they continued to shoot at the enemy.
This is a plan that Li Yi and the others have discussed before.
However, the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion are all worthy of being masters.
At this time, after they were on guard, it was not easy for Li Yi and his party to shoot them, often a top archery master could shoot seven or eight arrows in order to shoot a soldier of the Shenju Battalion, and the efficiency was greatly reduced.
At the beginning, the speed of Li Yi and his party was not fast, and after the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion approached Li Yi and his party again for a distance, other top figures under Li Yi also exerted their might, and their bows and arrows also threatened the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion in the rear.
The soldiers of the Shenju Battalion, who were running in front, were immediately killed and wounded.
Next, the distance between Li Yi and the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion began to maintain a stable space of about one hundred and fifty meters, this distance, coupled with the two parties chasing and fleeing, the bows and arrows of the vast majority of the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion could not be reached, even if they were barely reached, the power and speed of the bows and arrows were greatly reduced, and the power of Li Yi and his party was greatly reduced.
On the contrary, Li Yi and his party belonged to the side being chased, and the power of their bows and arrows increased, about one hundred and fifty meters, even if the armor on the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion was good, it was difficult to block.
One by one, the pursuing soldiers of the Shenju Battalion were shot.
I can see that some of these top masters are so angry, but they have nowhere to do it, their archery skills are not good, no matter how strong their melee strength is, they can't catch up with the enemy, what can they do?
However, the top marksman of the Shenju Battalion was a threat to Li Yi and his party, but under the suppression of the three top marksmen on Li Yi's side, the top marksman did not dare to show his head at all, and he was also very aggrieved.
"Step~Step~Step~"
In this way, chasing and fleeing, the two sides ran seven or eight miles again.
The soldiers of the Shenju battalion also died dozens of them again.
"Stop the pursuit at once!"
Finally, a general of the Shenju battalion shouted in aggrieved.
No matter how unwilling you are, you must stop.
It is clear that the enemy's horses are no worse than theirs, and even better than theirs, and have not fled from their pursuit, but are only hanging them, and if, if they keep chasing, their losses will be greater and greater.
"Get around!"
Li Yi said lightly.
"Yes!"
Li Yi and his subordinates responded.
"Got~got~"
The next moment, their group of horses circled around and began to run towards the Baiyue tribe before.
For a moment, their horse speed increased a lot.
"Not good!"
In the rear, the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion, who were chasing Li Yi and his party, saw this scene, their faces changed greatly, and their hearts jumped in shock.
It was clear that the enemy was going to attack those they had left behind.
There, a large number of their soldiers were poisoned and had no power to resist.
Once the enemy runs there, with the enemy's terrifying archery skills, it only takes a moment to inflict terrifying lethality.
"Go back!"
Immediately, the general of a Shenju battalion said in a hurry.
"Boom—"
The brigade began to turn around.
Then, the team turned around, and there was no fast U-turn of Li Yi and his team, their horses were all excellent horses, and they were far less responsive than Li Yi and his party's gods, which slowed down a lot of time.
Some generals were in a hurry.
For every moment of delay, the people they left behind may have many more dead and wounded.
In a moment, the people of the Shenju Battalion turned their heads, and at this time, something happened that made them a little desperate.
They found that their horses might have been slower at the moment, perhaps not much slower, but that the enemy's speed was too fast, almost half as fast as they were.
"Divine horses, all they ride are divine horses......"
A soldier of the Shenju Battalion said with an ugly face.
So many horses, all of them are gods!
What kind of luxury camp is this?
When Li Yi and his entourage returned to the Baiyue tribe, they found that the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion who stayed behind had already made a certain defensive layout.
Even, they were pulling many Baiyue people to their periphery, as if they wanted to use them to fend off the enemy's bows and arrows.
Unfortunately, the time is too short.
Seven or eight miles, a round trip, that is, fourteen or fifteen miles, it only takes a little more than three minutes for their divine horses to run, and even if they drag some speed in the middle, it is only a little more than four minutes in the past.
A group of poisoned Shenju Battalion soldiers, plus a group of injured Shenju Battalion soldiers, what can they do in more than four minutes?
"Gott~gott~got~"
Li Yi and his party did not rush into the crowd, but just gathered outside, constantly shooting and killing the soldiers of the Shenju Battalion who were exposed outside and had no power to resist.
After shooting dozens of soldiers of the Kamikoma Battalion again.
Li Yi and his entourage walked away.
"Heh......"
In the crowd, Zhang Haoran's face seemed to be smiling instead of smiling, as if crying instead of crying, and finally made a bitter sound.
Looking at the wounded and dead men in one place, he didn't know what mood he felt.
This time, although their Shenju Battalion was not completely annihilated, it gave him the feeling that it was almost the same as the total annihilation.
"Boom ......"
At this moment, the Shenju battalion went to chase and kill Li Yi and his party back.
"General, are you alright?"
A person quickly dismounted, galloped to Zhang Haoran, and said eagerly.
Zhang Haoran shook his head and didn't speak, and after a while, he spoke: "Let's count the casualties......"
The efficiency of the Shenju battalion was also very fast, and after a while, the casualty data came out.
Nine hundred and sixty-seven soldiers of the Divine Horse Battalion.
In this battle, one hundred and fifty-seven were killed, two hundred and thirteen were wounded, one hundred and ninety-three were left poisoned, and only four hundred and four soldiers of the Shenju Battalion were intact!
The Divine Horse Battalion, which is in its early 1,000s, has been dispatched, and so far, most of the casualties have been lost!
Counting this result, the hearts of many Shenju Battalion generals are also extremely complicated.
They followed the whole process, it can't be said that Zhang Haoran's command ability is poor, Zhang Haoran can sit in this position in the Zhenxi Army, but not by relationships, but by real talent and learning, and the brilliant achievements of the past are there!
Let's just say that this time, if Zhang Haoran hadn't let the people left behind react in time and take precautions in time, their losses would have been even greater!
These days, thanks to Zhang Haoran in command, if it were them, I wouldn't know where the losses were!
"General, let's retreat......"
A general of the Shenju battalion was silent for a long time and spoke.
"Hmm."
Zhang Haoran nodded with a blank expression.
At this point in loss, there is no point in them returning to Manniu City.
Not to mention the twenty or so Shenju cavalry just now, let's just say that the five hundred green dragon cavalry that Qinglong Village once displayed is not worse than their current strength.
If they go to Wild Bull City again, they are not guarding others, but they may go to death.
"What about the Baiyue people here?"
A guard asked.
"Kill them all!"
Zhang Haoran's eyes regained some expression, and then flashed a coldness, and said.
If it weren't for the fact that so many soldiers of the Shenju Battalion were poisoned in this Baiyue tribe, how could they have suffered such a big loss?
Now, he doesn't want to investigate how they were poisoned, since it was poisoned in this Baiyue tribe, it was the fault of this Baiyue tribe.
Kill everyone in this tribe.
To sacrifice the spirits of those who died in the heavens of the soldiers of the Divine Horse Battalion.
Two hours later.
Zhang Haoran and his entourage sorted out everything and started to set off.
Li Yi and his entourage also returned to the Baiyue tribe again.
"Your Majesty, the people in this Baiyue tribe, as well as all kinds of livestock, are all dead...... "A few of the top subordinates who went to investigate the situation came back and reported with solemn expressions.
There were more than 2,000 captives, many of whom were old and weak, women and children, and the other party actually killed them all, and did not even let go of the remaining cattle, sheep and horses.
"Catch up! Don't let them go! ”
Li Yi said lightly.
I have to say that the strength of the Shenju Battalion is very strong, and the methods are also very ruthless.
Although, so far, the soldiers of their Black Wind Village have also killed a lot.
But the vast majority are killed on the battlefield.
