Chapter 187: Attack
"Abandon your weapons and don't kill!"
Almost in unison, suddenly a burst of shouting came out of thin air, and the huge harmony even exceeded the dense sound of horses' hooves. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The sound of horses' hooves swaying like the earth and swaying on the ground made the noisy river side quiet for a moment. Hearing this deafening roar, everyone didn't understand for a few seconds, but when they heard it, they couldn't help but bared their teeth when they looked up.
Beside the river was a stretch of reeds that could not be seen as far as the eye could see, and although the reeds seemed to be no taller than a man, they were enough to hide a lot of things. Countless birds hidden in the reeds spread their wings and flew in fright, and one by one the reeds were collapsed by fast horses.
And the direction of everyone on the boat here is a sparse layer of shrubs, even if there are some tall trees, it is not enough to block everyone's view. I saw dozens of elite horsemen forming a double-row attacking queue, flexibly controlling the war horses under them, and surrounding the bustling crowd in front of them.
In addition to the river at both ends in front of him, there were fast horses rushing over at high speed on both sides, and the people on the horses were holding knives and waving spears and shouting in shock. Seeing these people grinning one by one, their clothes in tatters, and the wolf scalp hat on their heads, it made people feel both terrifying and surprised. What kind of weather is it now, these people are not panicking in order to cover the upper half of their faces.
If there is only a team of elite horsemen of these dozens of people, even if the horse team has an advantage on the battlefield, it will not be able to intimidate many people. However, on the reeds and dirt roads on both sides of Huyaya, there were five teams of warhorses, which were like thousands of horses galloping, and they were like a storm of destruction on this plain, and they were really powerless to stop them.
The 500 regimental exercises that had been guarding the three fighting ships in the river were personally dispatched by Liaocheng Assassin Sreder to escort the Lei family's relatives to Liaocheng. There were also 300 horse troops led by Lei Wei himself, all of whom were sitting on horses one by one, waiting for the last person of the Lei family to get on the boat.
This kind of guard, which has no damage and danger, is a kind of holiday-like distraction for the Liaocheng Ma Army. Everyone got the promise of Lei Wei, the commander of the Ma Army, that as long as they escorted the Lei family to Liaocheng successfully, everyone would be rewarded, so everyone was very longing.
Who knows the mood at this moment, and suddenly fell to the bottom. It seems that the plot has become a little different, and I don't know where there was an accident, and I don't know how a horse army team came out of nowhere, what is this trying to do, everyone's first reaction is this.
Looking at this sudden horse team, although compared to the infantry and horse army on the shore, it was not worth mentioning at all. But the other party is really holding a bright guy in his hand, and the knife and sharp spear in his hand are not vegetarian.
Especially the shouting under the fur hat is even more terrifying. When he heard the shouting, he was still two or three hundred meters away, and when the sound of horses' hooves trampled on people's hearts, he seemed to see that the swords and guns had arrived in front of him.
At this time, whether it was the Lei family's relatives on the ship, or these regimental exercises and the horse army, they were actually in chaos for a while. Some of the Lei family's relatives and children screamed first, and then those young masters and old men panicked. And these regimental training and horse troops on the shore are because of unpreparedness.
The effective lethality and impact power of the Ma army must be at least four or five hundred meters, so when the Ma army launches an attack, it generally has to brew for a period of time and distance. If you just face the Ma army in front of you, it will not have much lethality, but if you face the Ma army that has already launched a charge, you may face slaughter.
Although there are no mountains on the side of the Grand Canal, it is impossible to hide a long distance and a large team. But now the banks of the Grand Canal are also full of reeds, not to mention that since the Lei family has been in charge of Acheng, there is basically no one to cultivate within twenty or thirty miles around Acheng.
First, the Lei family was afraid that someone would attack Ah Cheng, so they completely controlled the entry and exit of Ah Cheng; Second, the people were afraid of an unjustified disaster, so they didn't dare to go far away to farm, for fear that the Lei family would not let them enter or leave when they came back.
Therefore, there are more rich families living in Acheng, but it is not like Liaocheng, surrounded by some helpless people. Many of the farmlands around Acheng are now deserted and overgrown with weeds and trees. These lush weeds and reeds, not to mention a few people are not as tall as others, but the sudden killing of the Ma army blocked the sight of many people.
Although when he came to Acheng, he was repeatedly reminded by Red to pay attention to the safety of the road, but Lei Xi still did not expect that he would be blocked at the door of his hometown. Seeing that many soldiers actually fell into the river because of panic, and many people in the family who were sitting on wooden boats also fell into the water in panic, Lei Yan couldn't help but turn pale.
Looking at Lei Yifeng, who was trembling with fright, and the thunder sword with a pale face holding the fast knife at his waist, Lei Yi chuckled in his heart, and when he saw those Ma Jun rushing like a whirlwind, he knew that something really bad was going to happen.
In front of the upstream of this river is the famous Daqing Lake. From here, a few hundred meters back to the waterway, the connection is Daqing Lake Water Village, which is also one of the passages for boats to leave the port of Daqing Lake Water Village.
The water village that stretches for hundreds of meters stands in Daqing Lake, which is also a little shocking to look at, and the warships guarding the surrounding arch will naturally make people feel shocked. Now all this seems to have become a joke, these people are blatantly attacking in front of the water village.
This time, in order to repay the support of the Lei family, Han Luke, the chief general of Daqing Lake Water Village, was generous and sent three fighting ships. What's more, because of the emperor's northern expedition, there were not many warships left in Daqing Lake, and the Lei family had face, and Han Lu would be able to come to trouble. Even if there is a lot of uproar recently, there should be no big problem.
But now he has been slapped in the face, not to mention that the waterway is so close to the water village, even Acheng is only a kilometer away from here. No one would have thought that someone would be so bold, not only so quietly approaching, but also blatantly attacking.
Lei Zizi almost regretted it, saying that he was also the commander of the Liaocheng Ma Army, and he actually did not arrange for a sentry to patrol on the shore, so he allowed people to approach and attack recklessly. Looking at the rapidly approaching horse team, where is there still a chance to regret it, only to tear out the throat and call someone to sound the gong to warn him.
The crowd had already been chaotic, especially when they saw a few fast horses close by, because the horse sergeant here wanted to draw their swords to meet the battle, but they were directly picked up by the spears, and the blood flew down and screamed even more. Some of the horse soldiers who didn't have time to react directly pulled the reins and wanted to turn their heads, but they didn't expect that there was a river around them, and even people and horses fell directly into the river.
A few shouts had no effect, and Lei Yan was a little dumbfounded, although he also drew his sword, but he didn't know what to do. Although he is the older generation of the Lei family, he is actually not much older than Lei Yifeng, relying on the prestige of the Lei family in Dongping County, he really has a good errand in Liaocheng, and now this errand seems to be fatal.
Lei Wei was a little lucky in his heart, after all, there were five hundred Liaocheng infantry troops stationed not far away, this was a real Zhou State infantry army, but it was a team equipped with special weapons. And the Daqing Lake Water Village in front of it is only a kilometer away. As long as there is a slight resistance on his side, reinforcements should be able to rush over immediately.
Thinking of this, Lei couldn't help but shout loudly again, making people sound the gong as a warning. But I don't know if it was because the warning was frightened, or if I didn't hear the sound of thunder at all, not only did I not remember the sound of the gong, but the screams kept coming.
Lei Yifeng was already confused, he was originally a literati, and it was good that he didn't faint when he saw the bloody scene and ferocity. Lei Jian is still Ah Cheng's head catcher, and there are a lot of trivial things in his life, but he has really never been in contact with this kind of real knife and gun. The two of them looked at the killing that rushed over, not to mention helping Lei Qi to call people, but they couldn't move under their feet.
And these people wearing wolfskin hats are not real showmen, but real people who are up and down with knives, and when they see that person wants to resist or attack, they shoot directly when they hit him, or cut them directly with a knife.
Blood flowed, screaming screams!
"White Wolf Village Horse Bandits!"
I don't know who shouted, there were still people who were ready to resist, but after hearing this shout, they directly threw away the weapon in their hands. The incident happened suddenly, not to mention that the example of killing a hundred people is in front of him, and it is obvious that he will abandon his weapon and not kill, and the people who came back to their senses raised their hands and surrendered when they saw the changes in front of them.
Although the resistance is not too strong, the killing is still going on and is very direct, after all, many people have become unlucky ghosts under this kind of rapid charge. And after everyone saw the real death, people, including the Liaocheng Ma Army on the side, also took the initiative to abandon their weapons and surrender after seeing the ferocity of these wolfskin hats.
What made Lei Di's scalp tingle was that although the five hundred Liaocheng infantry troops stationed there were lined up, they had no intention of coming over to help in the battle, and they watched as the people here were confiscated by these wolfskin hats.
In an instant, Lei Wei's heart was extremely cold, and at this time, his colleagues didn't come to help in the battle! What I had been worried about finally happened, because the infantry army in Liaocheng was under the management of the Wang family, and the commander of the infantry army was Wang Junge.
When he came to pick up the clansmen, although there was a huge team, his cousin Red still instructed himself, because although the infantry army responded cheerfully, there were two commanders sent by the infantry army. One is named Wang Kang and the other is Zhang Le, both of whom are Wang Junge's cronies.
Although the Lei family has not had a conflict with the Wang family in Dongping County, everyone in the Lei family knows an important reason. That is to hide between the royal family and the imperial court for profit, and rise when the helmsman of the royal family, Wang Jianjian, is suppressed. At the time when Wang Jian was unable to maneuver, Red accompanied Li Chongjin to capture the Tianping Army.
It seems that there is no direct conflict of interest, but it is a real division of interests. Presumably, the Wang family's resentment towards the Lei family has always been hidden in their hearts, and Lei Yi is already soaked when he thinks of this. His own force value is not good, and the defense of Liaocheng makes it impossible for Shen Ba's subordinates to take the position, and Wang Junge is the direct boss of the infantry army.
The sharp tip of the spear was against his throat, and Lei Wei even saw the indifferent eyes of Wang Kang and Zhang Le over there. Two wolf riders on fast horses, with bright iron spears in their hands, as long as they loosen it slightly, they may have to ambush the corpse river.
The opponent's rapid attack made it impossible to even get on his horse, and Lei Cheng lamented in his heart that he couldn't do anything. Lei Yifeng on the side was held up by a wolf rider with a glaive knife, and he fell directly to the ground in fright, but he couldn't control the smell of peeing his pants.
Although Lei Jian's situation was better, if he hadn't thrown the sidecar in his hand faster, he would have almost been pierced by the wolf rider who rushed towards him. The wolf rider on the horse may have seen that he was a little slower to react, and directly swept down the shot and slapped him in the neck. This iron spear is dozens of catties to say the least, and it directly knocked the thunder sword to the ground with one shot.
Looking at the horse soldiers who fled in all directions, they simply gave up resisting, and under this violent impact, unless you are twice as strong as the opponent, it is simply to die. No one is stupid, although they accepted the task to protect the Lei family, but no one said that it would be so dangerous!
However, seeing that the fleeing soldiers were killed by the rushing wolf riders, some people recognized the current direction and situation. Some people shouted surrender, threw away their weapons and were let go. There are also those who are forced to jump directly into the river on horseback, regardless of the depth of the water in the river, and want to escape in the water to take refuge. Because of the water potential and the depth of the water, they couldn't go fast, and no one cared about them.
There are also those who were directly picked up by the spears in the wolf riders and cut off by their long knives, and there are also those who directly gave up resistance, and the three hundred Liaocheng horse army did not form an effective defense, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
Of course, it is not said that these horse troops did not line up to defend, but they were defensive and prepared, and under such a strong impact on the enemy, I am afraid that there will be countless casualties. When the brave meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, not to mention the enemy who is calculating and unintentional.
Of course, what is strange is that the five hundred Liaocheng infantry on the side, if they have prepared in advance, and then assisted by the formation, these few wolf riders can block some impacts, but they did not do this and did not prepare, is this a little intriguing.
Lei Wei was not arrogant from beginning to end, because these infantry troops who followed him were led by two commanders, Wang Kang and Zhang Le. Although the military branches are different, they all belong to the subordinates of the Liaocheng defense envoys, and it stands to reason that they are at the same level as Lei Wei. Although it is a position of the same level, it is because the infantry army is managed by the branch of the Wang family. According to Lei Zheng's idea, it is already good for Wang Junge to send someone to help, where do you dare to arrange what others do.
Besides, imagine that although the horse bandits are fierce, Liaocheng really has a war with the horse bandit White Wolf Village, whether it is the horse army or the infantry army, they are very few people. Lei Yan himself has never faced the horse bandit head-on, but he knows that the horse bandit is fierce, and he has just heard his colleagues mention it.
What's more, this time he came to Acheng from Liaocheng to pick up people, but he led 300 horse troops, as well as 500 regiments sent by his cousin Thorn Sred. If you add these 500 infantry troops, it is a team of 1,300 soldiers, and if they encounter horse bandits on flat ground, they must not dare to attack blatantly.
I hurried all the way to this side, and I didn't find anything unusual along the way. Until he came to the river near Ah Cheng, he didn't find the slightest disturbance, Lei Xi not only thought that he was lucky, but also thought that the horse bandits did not have such courage.
So when he saw the horse bandit wolf riding that suddenly appeared, not to mention the ordinary soldiers were dumbfounded, even Lei Xi himself was stunned. The smooth and unharmed along the way made Lei Yi really careless and careless, and he didn't take the horse bandits in the White Wolf Village to heart. I don't know why these people suddenly appeared.
At this time, it was a little too late to say anything, Lei Xi trembled and looked at those regimental exercises worse than the Ma army, many people ran away, and some people simply jumped directly into the river, and the river bank became a mess for a while.
Although the regimental training in various places is a supplement to the organized corps of the feudal towns, it is still much worse than that of the regular soldiers. What's more, their weapons are far from being compared with the established soldiers, seeing the fierce wolf riders, especially after seeing the torture and killing with real guns, how can there be anyone who does not flee for their lives quickly.
Lei Yi only felt that his eyes were black, and screams and screams and screams came from his ears. Finished! Finished! Lei Wei sighed in his heart and felt cold in his heart, but he was not so scared at first, raised his eyes to look at the two wolf riders who locked him, and saw that they were looking at him contemptuously, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and uncomfortable.
His eyes looked in the direction of the water village in front of him, and he only hoped that the people over there would come to help as soon as possible.
There were constant screams and panic in his ears, and the three fighting ships were even more chaotic, and there was no one who did not panic when he saw the killing on the shore.
Before these wolf riders could get on the boat to attack, the people on the boat were already crying out in terror and grabbing the ground. Lei Yi didn't dare to move for a long time, and when he saw the two wolf riders, his eyes became fierce, and in the end, he only threw away the saber in his hand, and let the two of them calm down.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Three thunderous bangs came in quick succession, and everyone almost couldn't stand and sit steadily, and then only the flames soared into the sky. For a moment, it seemed that everyone stopped at this moment, and the violent explosion was earth-shattering, and it was a little unsteady to stand on the ground, let alone those who were sitting on the horses.
Many people actually fell down because of the frightened horses, but what was stunned was that they were all some horses from Liaocheng. And those wolf riding bandits, as if they had expected it a long time ago, sat steadily on their horses, waving the weapons in their hands and screaming.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that the water village in the lake was in flames, not only the row of wooden water villages was blown up by the waist, but also the two warships moored to the side were also damaged. The flames were blazing, and what was especially frightening was that it was actually some distance away, but after the explosion, there were faint screams.
The water village was blown up, and basic actions must have been restricted. Although I don't know what the situation of Shuizhai is now, it is obviously carried out together with the attack here. The water village is the largest barrier of Daqing Lake, not to mention the damage, the most terrifying thing is that it caused a fire, if you can't effectively extinguish the fire, I am afraid that this wooden water village will be destroyed in one fell swoop.
Lei Di's legs went limp, and the last glimmer of hope was dashed.
As for why Wang Kang and Zhang Le didn't make a move, Lei Wei didn't care anymore. In the face of these fierce wolf riders, although the number of people is small, but the momentum of the other party is like a mountain, where can these people compare. Suddenly, Lei Xuan's heart was like ashes, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
Something even more terrifying has happened!
Seeing that the water village was blown up, the battleships on the edge of the water village were also on fire, and many people on the three fighting ships here wanted to jump ship. The shouts and scolding continued, and although the Lei family stepped in to stop it, it could not stop many people from jumping into the river.
At first, some people stopped it, but seeing everyone trying to escape for their lives, some people's hearts were shaken. Especially when I saw Lei Di, who was still in good spirits just now, he knelt down on the shore, and he tried to get up regardless of gender.
There was chaos on the boats, but the killing on both sides of the river gradually stopped, as almost everyone stopped resisting. The wolf riders who had recklessly scattered the regiments, as well as the frightened horse army, all rushed to the shore.
There were also a few horsemen who were about to flee the encirclement, and before they had time to rejoice, they were shot off their horses by a wolf rider with a black wolf's head hat, a bow and arrows. Now the world was quiet, and no one dared to run anymore, even the horse army was driven off the horse by the wolf horseman.
The eight wolves rode under the leadership of this black wolf hat wolf rider, all of them walked around the periphery with bows and arrows, looking at the Liaocheng infantry army that had not moved over there. Everyone can see that the arrows used by these wolf riders are all sharp triangular diamonds, and the sharpness is chilling. Presumably, as long as such an arrow is hit in the body, no one can stop the bleeding from the wound.
The white wolf village wolf riding bandit really deserves its name!
Not surprisingly, there were also shouts of killing at the wall of the city gate of Acheng. The people here couldn't see the situation clearly, but a man standing not far from the wall watched clearly.
More than ten wolf riders with weapons in their hands rushed directly to the gate of the city, and before the guards could react, the weapons in their hands harvested several corpses. When the guards reacted, they shouted loudly to close the city gate, and these more than ten wolf riders had already rushed into the city gate, steadily suppressing the guards at the city gate.
The guards of the city tower above the city gate naturally heard the commotion below, and they also saw the wolf cavalry attacking the fighting ship in the distance, and the attack on the Daqing Lake Water Village. But before they could react, they were already attacked at close quarters.
A group of people, led by a woman, had already touched the tower, and before the wolf rode near the gate, they were surrounded by these people. There are also people who want to report the news, but they have received very few public attacks, and they are chaotic for a while. By the time some of them wanted to come over and lower the gate of the city gate, the dozen or so wolf riders outside the city had already rushed out of the reeds.
The man standing on the battlement knew that all this was obviously premeditated, and looked at the woman wielding two quick knives, and his eyes didn't turn at all.
