Chapter 308: The Chase

(The second more beast broke the work.,There's only this chapter today.,Sorry!) )

On Chengjiawu Fort, the horn sounded, the originally closed fort door was opened, the drawbridge was put down, and thousands of villagers held spears and shields, under the guidance of dozens of cavalry, they came out of the dock fort, which was the original township soldiers in the dock fort. The first two people, one is Li Rui, and the other is the owner of Chengjiawu Fort, the current head of Cheng's hometown, Cheng Jia.

"General Li is a god!" Looking at Fei Can and his cavalry, who were caught in a desperate situation, Cheng Jia was amazed.

Li Rui was also very proud, this time he led eight hundred elites to sneak in secretly from Shenzhou, without any baggage, but with a large number of crossbow arrows.

Eight hundred people, who carried two thousand crossbows, an average of nearly three per soldier.

Of course, the crossbow thing, if you don't have special training, you can't play it, like the township soldiers of the Cheng family's crossbow, if they use it, I'm afraid the effect will be greatly reduced.

After arriving at Chengjiawu, he summoned 200 armor soldiers stationed in Gaoyang, and a total of 1,000 armor soldiers were the main force of his operation. With 1,000 armor soldiers and 1,000 village soldiers, against Fei Can's 2,000 cavalry, it sounds like an egg hitting a stone, but after designing a trap and calculating it intentionally, Fei Can suffered a big loss on the battlefield arranged in advance.

The two sides have not yet made formal contact, and Fei Can has already lost more than 500 cavalry.

"Don't underestimate him Lu Longbing, their strength is still there, and this battle still has to be fought!" Li Rui suppressed his excitement and said.

"They can't escape." Cheng Jia was excited. As the first batch of Yingzhou Yuanwu Fort Owners who lost their sincerity to Wuwei Festival Town, he was treated preferentially. If he makes another meritorious contribution this time, then the post of Gaoyang County Commander who was promised to him will be at his fingertips.

Now Fei Can, there are five hundred elite armor soldiers in front and behind, and there are traps in the dense green gauze tents on the left and right, and their activity area is limited to such a small area, it is difficult to give full play to the mobility and speed advantages of the cavalry, coupled with the terrifying long-range strike force of Wuwei Military Town, is it difficult for Fei Can to fly into the sky with wings?

The moment Fei Can got up from the ground, he already had a clear understanding of his situation. He glanced at his own war horse with some pity, which had broken its hooves, this war horse had been with him for five years, and it was the one that had been with him for the longest time, and it was staring at him with a mournful voice at the moment.

Fei Can picked up his spear from the ground, walked to the horse, closed his eyes, and with a roar, he stabbed it down with a fierce shot, and the head of the war horse hung down.

A soldier brought Fei Can a war horse without an owner again, Fei Can turned over and stepped into the saddle, his helmet fell somewhere, and his bun also fell apart.

As a seasoned veteran, he knew he was in trouble.

In the back, there is a military formation composed of hundreds of martial elites, big shields, spears, and crossbow arrows, forming a classic formation against the cavalry, and more importantly, at this moment, in front of them, there is a pit.

After these soldiers crawled out of the underground tunnel, they did not move forward, but retreated to the back of the pit, facing Fei Can's side to be shorter, and Wude's soldiers stood at the other end of the tunnel slightly higher and erected a long shield. This small obstacle has now become an unbearable burden for Fei Can.

His cavalry had to jump over the tunnel if they wanted to break through the enemy line, but the problem was that now he couldn't accelerate, and without speed, it would be difficult for his cavalry to rush through it in one go.

And directly in front of him, hundreds of other armored soldiers were also in the same formation.

Fei Can knew better that it was difficult for him to defeat such an elite in a short period of time, and once he was entangled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

And in the dense green gauze tents on both sides, the cunning martial artists did not know how many traps they had set, tripping horses, tunnels, or other things, which would make it difficult for his cavalry to move an inch.

"Divide the troops on the left and right, brush the edge of the Wude army formation in front of you, don't entangle with them, let's attack the township soldiers behind them." In an instant, Fei Can knew that he had no other way to go except such a road.

Even if it will cost him dearly.

Under Li De's nose, Fei Can's cavalry was divided into two, and the remaining more than 1,000 cavalry formed a thin column, grazing the narrow open space between the military formation of the Wude soldiers and the green gauze tents on both sides.

The path he chose was the two flanks of the front army formation, grazing the edge of the Wude army formation and rushing forward.

The charging Lu dragoons tried their best to block the side facing the Wuwei army formation with the small shield they carried with them, and lowered their bodies and desperately destroyed their horses.

Now they just need speed.

The crossbow arrows whined, and the Lu dragoons fell from their horses like dumplings, some of them were hit by the crossbow arrows, and some of them fell to the ground wounded.

What made Li De change slightly was that the Lu dragoons who fell off their horses, as long as they could still move, all got up on the ground, held their shields, waved the swords and guns in their hands, and rushed to the military formation without hesitation. As a result, the crossbow arrows in the army had to be divided against these stormtroopers.

The crossbow arrows that shot the galloping cavalry suddenly became much weaker.

"Sure enough, there are two brushes!" Li De stretched out his hand and took off the big knife hanging on the saddle sheath, and said to Cheng Jia with a smile: "Township Chief Cheng, it's up to you next." ”

Cheng Jia was nervous at the moment. Fear is not necessarily, because he can also see that the other party is just fighting to the death now, and the advantage is still on their side, but the other party's frame is obviously aimed at him, although there are thousands of village soldiers on his left and right, but he is not sure at all.

Hearing Li De's words, he took a deep breath, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted: "Old and young masters, if you win this battle, you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each." ”

Of course, this money was taken out by himself, thousands of village soldiers, that is, tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is also a huge amount of money for a rich man in Wubao.

But when he looked back and thought about it, if he could behave well in front of Li Rui, he didn't care about the money that was thrown out, and he didn't care how many people died.

As long as he is alive to reap the fruits of victory.

And at this moment, he clearly saw that Li Rui's attacking military formation in the rear had crossed the trench at this moment and was advancing forward, and the two military formations would be combined together, and they would form a front and rear attack with him. He just needs to hold on a little longer.

Fei Can paid the price of nearly three hundred people and rushed to Cheng Jia's village soldiers.

"Penetrate!" Fei Can pointed at his spear halberd and shouted angrily.

He didn't have much time, and behind him, Wude's two army formations had merged into one and were striding forward.

Almost at the same time as he roared, Li Rui also raised his broadsword high, and with a long roar, he rushed towards the roaring Lu Dragoon with only dozens of cavalry around him.

The two armies collided with each other.

These personal guard cavalry who followed Li De were indeed very brave, but after all, there were only dozens of horses, although they were like a red-hot fire tongs that directly entered the heart of the other party, but more Lu dragoons roared past them and killed the township soldiers in Chengjiawu.

When Li Rui came out of the formation, there were already more than ten robes missing by his side, and when Le Ma turned around, he shook his head with some regret. Chengjiawu's township soldiers either have an innate fear of the Lulong army, or because they are indeed not strong enough, or they are frightened by the fierceness of the Lulong people who absolutely want to survive at the moment, even if Cheng Jia offers a heavy reward, even if Cheng Jia himself struggles to organize and intercept the Lu Dragon Cavalry, but Chengjiawu's township soldiers are still defeated by one blow.

After Fei Can rushed away from the Chengjiawu villagers, he bypassed Chengjiawu Fort without looking back, made a big circle, and rushed towards the distance.

Although the encirclement was highlighted, the 2,000 cavalry when Fei Canlai came, at this moment, there were only a maximum of more than 1,000 cavalry left.

"General Li, Cheng is ashamed." Cheng Jia came to Li Rui dejectedly, and behind him, those frightened villagers were still in chaos at the moment.

Li Rui didn't think it was wrong, and the township soldiers were at this level. This battle can make Cheng Jia see the reality that the village soldiers he can organize are vulnerable in front of the truly elite army, and it can also blow some small thoughts that may still be hidden in his heart to the point that they no longer exist.

Besides, this time to encircle and annihilate Fei Can's cavalry is not a trick in front of him, this is a serial plan.

"The township soldiers of Chengjiawu are still doing well." Li Rui said with a smile: "Especially Township Chief Cheng, he is even more heroic, and he has many dragon cavalry in his hands, and I will definitely write this in the battle report." ”

"Thank you, General Li, ashamed, ashamed!" Listening to Li Rui's praise, Cheng Jia only felt that his face was a little feverish.

"Township Chief Cheng, organize everyone to clean up the battlefield!" Li Rui said.

"General Li, what about those Lu dragoons?" Cheng Jia asked cautiously.

Li Rui smiled and said: "If they run away, we don't have to worry about it, and others will naturally do the rest." ”

For Li Rui, of course he wanted to keep Fei Can's troops, and for this, he really put a lot of thought into it, but he had to admit that Fei Can and his cavalry were not only extremely tenacious, but also reacted quickly, and Fei Can was also a very powerful general, and in such a short period of time, he could find the only way that could break out of the encirclement.

"Gongzi said that Lu Long's army is definitely the strongest army in the world, and this is indeed true." Li Rui thought in his heart that if he encountered any Lu Long army in the future, he must not be careless in the slightest, and he must be careful to deal with them.

After escaping for more than ten miles in one go, Fei Can, who only had half of the cavalry left, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they had to stop and rest for a while.

"General Fei, take a break, let's kill a horse pistol, now those people are just afraid that they are busy celebrating the victory, let's kill back and avenge the brothers who died in the war!" A lieutenant walked up to Fei Can and said loudly.

Fei Can didn't answer his words, but looked into the distance attentively, not knowing what he was thinking.

"General Fei, what is a small setback? When we fought the Khitan Golden Horde, we lost thousands of brothers in the first battle, and didn't we win in the end? The lieutenant said.

"Kill back, kill back!" The captain's words aroused the arrogance of a group of veterans around Fei Can, and these people asked Fei Can to fight in unison.

Fei Can let out a long breath, of course he was very happy to have such morale after the defeat, but at this moment, he thought of a more serious problem.

In the battle that just ended, Cheng Jiawubao obviously guessed his thoughts, so he set a trap for him to drill, and these soldiers were not Liu Chenglin's subordinates, a general of Li Rui's level, he still knew that the appearance of Shenzhou soldiers and horses here could only be specifically aimed at him.

If all this was designed by Liu Chenglin, then where did the cavalry of Li De, who had been attached behind him, go? Have they really been tricked into going somewhere else?

"Where are Li De's cavalry?" He suddenly turned around and asked the captain he had just asked for battle.

Before the captain could answer, there was a slight tremor on the ground, and it was self-evident what this meant for these seasoned cavalrymen.

"There's an enemy attacking, get ready to fight!" Fei Can shouted loudly, and took the lead in turning over his horse, and more than a thousand cavalrymen turned over in unison.

On the horizon on the left, a dark cavalry, like the tide of the sea, rolled towards them, it was the rangers under the command of Li De.

"Don't fight, go!" Fei Can shouted, hit the horse and left.

His army had just experienced a fierce battle, and it was undecided, and it had no chance of winning when it encountered more than 2,000 cavalry that Li De had cultivated.

A chase and escape trick began to play out in Yingzhou, Fei Can took his cavalry, and tried to escape in the direction of the stone forest, as long as he could escape to the stone forest, the Great Rift Valley there would provide him with the best protection, and people who were not familiar with the terrain of the Great Rift Valley would be like entering the secret palace wherever they went, and at that time, it was time for him to fight back.

However, just as Fei Can thought, his cavalry could not outrun the recuperated opponent, and on the way to escape, he had to divide a group of cavalry again and again to intercept and delay Li De's main force.

When he saw the Great Rift Valley in the Stone Forest, he tried hard to follow his cavalry, and there were only six or seven hundred horsemen left. Behind them, Li De's pursuers had already revealed their figures on the horizon.

The cavalry were shocked, but they rushed into an entrance to the Great Rift Valley with some sense of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and Fei Can, who was at the rear, looked at Li De's cavalry viciously as they got closer and closer.

"Come on, chase in, chase in and kill me!" He thought in his heart, this is his home field, every exit here, the direction of every rift, is engraved in his heart, as long as he is here, he is sure that Li De will have no way out.
