Chapter 382: Battle (4,000 Words 2-in-1 Chapter)
Just as Li Mu was looking at King Lin Hu not far away, King Lin Hu was also looking at the army led by Li Mu.
"Sure enough, there are only 10,000 ......"
The news he received from the scouts calmed King Linhu's mood a lot.
This young Linhu king had never experienced the war that made all the elders of the Linhu tribe tremble at the mention of it, so for him who ascended to the throne by virtue of war, the panic and fear of Zhao was very unnecessary.
After all, that was decades ago.
What's more, it was these old guys who told themselves that the current Linhu tribe was far stronger than before.
Since the current Linhu tribe is far more powerful than the Linhu tribe back then, and the population and grassland area are also more and more vast than the Linhu tribe back then, why does the Linghu tribe now succumb to the Zhao State and act as a vassal minister in a reluctant voice?
This young King Linhu actually has great ambitions in his heart.
In the eyes of King Linhu, he not only had to defeat this damned, arrogant Zhao army, but also continued to advance eastward after this battle, crossed the Yellow River into the territory of Zhao, and snatched back all the territories that the Linhu tribe had lost.
He even wanted to establish a country called the Kingdom of Linghu.
If there can be a Zhongshan country, then why can't there be a Linhu country?
The two armies were soon arrayed.
It was already noon, and the sun was high in the sky, warm enough and dazzling enough.
The warbler flies and the grass grows, and the green is endless.
It's not the best season for cavalry combat, but it's a good season for killing.
King Linhu gave his first command.
"Bart, this king will give you three thousand people, go up to test the level of the Zhao people, and if the situation is not good, retreat immediately."
Bart is a famous warrior and hero of the Linghu tribe, in the most critical battle for the throne two years ago, Bart led 2,000 cavalry to break into the enemy's army, and shot the former prince of the Linghu tribe with an arrow, making great contributions to the throne of King Linhu.
For such a fierce general, King Lin Hu is obviously very confident.
Moreover, although King Lin Hu was very young and strong, he was not exactly a reckless man, so he planned to test the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of Zhao State first, and then decide on the next move.
With the ratio of 40,000 to 10,000, this decision is undoubtedly a very steady decision, so steady that it is even a little cautious.
At this order, a fierce-looking general beside him immediately took the order.
After a short time, 3,000 Lin Hu cavalry swarmed out with countless dust and smoke and came to the front of the two armies.
Li Mu narrowed his eyes, carefully looked at the cavalry in front of him for a while, pointed to Bart and asked beside him, "Who is this person?" ”
At Li Mu's side, a Lin Hu officer who had completely lost his mind to Zhao Guo hurriedly replied: "General Hui, this person is Bart, and he is the number one fierce general under the command of King Lin Hu. ”
"The number one general?" A smile crossed the corner of Li Mu's mouth. He slowly spoke: "Since this is the case, then letting him die at the hands of the general's armored cavalry is not an insult to him. Come on, order a thousand armored cavalry to attack. ”
Unlike the last time, this time Li Mu did not plan to personally lead the troops to attack.
After all, Li Mu's role has changed now, from the general who was responsible for charging into battle at that time to the commander who now needs to strategize and command the whole army.
Under Li Mu's gaze, a thousand heavily armored cavalry slowly came out of formation, and came to a place about three miles away from the cavalry of the Linhu tribe to stop and line up.
Battle looked at the Zhao cavalry in front of him in surprise, his face was shocked.
"What kind of weird cavalry is this?"
In this era of information blockage, coupled with the fact that the Linhu tribe rarely communicated with the countries of the Central Plains, even if the battle that made the armored cavalry famous in one fell swoop has now passed a year, the Linhu tribe still knows nothing about this cavalry.
To put it bluntly, before this war, the ambitions of the Linhu tribe were only limited to the Hetao Plain, and they did not have any covetousness for the Zhao State, and of course they would not go out of their way to inquire about the news of the Zhao State.
But it would be inappropriate to say that the Linhu people don't know anything about this.
At this time, a personal soldier captain beside Bart suddenly spoke: "Commander Qian, I have heard those relatives who served in the Zhao Kingdom say that there is an invincible super cavalry in the Zhao Kingdom, called the armored cavalry, which may seem to be the one in front of us. ”
"Armored cavalry?" Bart frowned, thinking to himself that this was a strange name.
Bart is illiterate, and for an illiterate, the five words armored cavalry are actually not easy to understand, especially if they have been translated once.
But in any case, when Bart saw this armored cavalry, he still had a bad feeling in his heart.
This is like letting a primitive man from thousands of years ago stand in front of a tank, even if this primitive man does not understand what a tank is, but there will be a feeling of "unclear and powerful" in the heart of primitive people.
What's more, the armor that glistens in the sun on these armored cavalry doesn't look like a good thing at all.
I don't know which armor reflected the sunlight on Bart's face, causing the chief general of the Linhu tribe to turn his head involuntarily.
"What a fucking evil door!" Bart spat the ground.
But now that the matter has come to an end, as the number one general under the command of King Linhu, Bart naturally has no reason to retreat.
So Bart waved his hand and gave the order very decisively: "Immediately send the order, start outflanking the attack in three ways!" I don't believe it, this Zhao people are just a thousand cavalry, can they still turn the sky upside down? ”
So Bart gave an order, and the three thousand cavalry of the Linhu tribe immediately divided into three roads, left, center, and right, like three different arrows outflanking the cavalry of Zhao in front of them.
As the main general of these 3,000 cavalry, Bart is naturally located in the middle of this branch, that is, the one that is face to face with the thousand cavalry of Zhao State.
What made Bart feel strange in his heart was that he had already galloped to a place less than two miles away from the Zhao cavalry this time, but this very strange Zhao cavalry didn't seem to have any signs of acting at all.
"What are they trying to do? Are they not afraid of the bows and arrows in the hands of our Linhu warriors at all? ”
At the next moment when this thought welled up in Bart's heart, the cavalry of the Zhao State in front of him finally began to move.
The next moment, Bart's eyes suddenly widened, and a shocked expression began to appear in his pupils.
The cavalry began to move slowly, as if a man were running in small steps.
But after only a few breaths, a sound suddenly came from under the hooves of the cavalry that made the earth tremble.
The dense tremor caused by the charge of the cavalry group was naturally no stranger to a steppe general like Barth.
Bart was even able to close his eyes and tell by sound how many enemy cavalry were charging in front of him.
But that's what makes Bart so surprised at this moment.
The cavalry in front of them was only about a thousand people, but when they fully charged, it was as if thousands of cavalry were galloping, roaring!
The thousand armored cavalry swarmed towards Bart like a rolling torrent of steel.
Another ray of sunlight reflected off Barth's face, then two, three, or even more, and Barth's front was full of blinding sunlight that he couldn't even open his eyes.
Bart took a deep breath and almost roared the order: "Shoot arrows, shoot me arrows!" ”
At Bart's roar, he slammed the bowstring in his hand, squinted his eyes at the enemy rushing in front of him, and then released the bowstring and shot a sharp arrow.
As recognized as the strongest warrior in the Lin Hu Clan, Bart is very confident in his archery skills.
100 steps through Yang? Bart felt that it was something he could do with his eyes closed.
At this distance, Bart was very sure that the arrow he shot would hit the opposite chest and penetrate the opposite heart without even the slightest error.
The great prince, who had the best chance of ascending to the throne of the new king of the Ringhube, died at the throat of Bart at this distance.
But the next moment, something happened that made Bart can't help but be dumbfounded.
Barth's arrow did hit the opponent's chest with great accuracy, but it only made a bell sound, and then it fell obliquely to the ground like a downed bird.
Didn't do any damage at all.
Bart's heart instantly seemed to be grabbed, and his heart roared wildly.
"It can't be!"
You must know that unlike others, Bart is the first warrior of the Linghu tribe, his arrows are very special, arrows made of extremely sharp bronze, his bow is far heavier than others, and the range is far beyond others.
If even a marksman like Bart was helpless against the armor of the Zhao cavalry, then could the other Linhu tribesmen have no choice but to get the armor of the Zhao people?
The next moment, Bart's ominous premonition came true.
After Bart's order, three thousand Linhu cavalry sent out a dense arrow strike at the Zhao cavalry in front of them from three different directions at the same time.
But what made all the Lin Hu cavalry extremely surprised and even frightened was that their arrows fell to the ground one after another after touching the armor on these Zhao cavalry, without causing any damage at all!
This heavy cavalry of Zhao State was like an invulnerable army, killing from this rain of arrows, and rushed towards Bart with billowing gunsmoke!
"Not good!" Bart looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly understood something in his heart: "This cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom wants to fight us in close combat!" ”
Because at this time, these heavy cavalry of the Zhao State in front of Bart were already less than two hundred steps away from Bart.
At this distance, even if Bart wanted to order his men to retreat, it would be too late.
Bart gritted his teeth and continued to take out a long arrow from the quiver, instantly completing the action of bending the bow and arrows.
This time, Bart did not aim the arrow at the chest of the opponent's cavalry of the Zhao Kingdom, but aimed at the opponent's eye!
Although these Zhao cavalrymen all wore strange helmets on their heads, their eyes were not protected in any way!
"Whoosh!"
As soon as Barth's fingers loosened, the arrow slashed through the air like lightning, and it was extremely accurate and submerged into the eye socket of a Zhao cavalryman.
Watching this Zhao State cavalryman fall off his horse in an instant, listening to the scream coming from behind the helmet, Bart's heart finally settled down a little.
These cavalrymen of the Zhao State still can't be invulnerable after all!
But the next moment, another thought came to Bart's mind.
With Bart's archery, of course, he can hit the enemy's eyeballs with great accuracy, but among these 3,000 Lin Hu cavalry, how many of them have archery skills that can be compared to Bart?
The answer is none!
Therefore, after these two waves of arrows, except for Bart's victory, most of the Zhao cavalry were still rolling in, and they were only fifty steps away from Bart.
For cavalry, this distance is almost instantaneous!
Bart screamed strangely and pulled out his bronze saber from his waist: "The warriors of the Linhu tribe, fight with them!" ”
At this distance, there is no room for retreat.
In front of Bart, countless spears shone brightly, and the light on the tip of the spear made Bart's heart tremble a little involuntarily.
"Die, shameful Zhao people!"
Bart fearlessly raised his saber and slashed down at the Zhao cavalry who was close in front of him.
The two cavalry were like two rolling torrents, colliding with each other vigorously.
A few miles away, King Lin Hu's eyes widened a little nervously.
"Bart will win, Bart will win!" The young King Lin Hu silently told himself this in his heart.
The next moment, King Lin Hu's eyes suddenly widened.
In the billowing smoke and dust, an armored cavalryman of the Zhao State rushed out, and the spear in the hand of the Zhao cavalryman was held high, and a mutilated corpse hung on the spear.
But even so, King Lin Hu still relied on his extraordinary eyesight to see the extremely bright red tassel on the head of this corpse at a glance!
"Ba, Bart!"
King Lin Hu's mouth opened wide, and he suddenly felt a little difficult to breathe.
The red tassel on the pigtail on the back of the head is Bart's unique logo!
Right in front of King Lin Hu, one after another Zhao cavalry slaughtered out of the smoke and dust, the tips of countless spears were raised high in the sun, and the silver-white spear tips were stained with countless blood, reflecting a bright light that made people's hearts palpitate in the sun!
Bart lost.
After the smoke and dust cleared, thousands of Linhu cavalry shouted frantically and turned their horses' heads, and fled back towards the main formation of the Linhu tribe.
And right in front of King Linhu, the terrifying cavalry that had just cut through Bart's department had begun to line up again, ready to launch another attack!
What frightened King Lin Hu was that the number of cavalry of this Zhao State didn't seem to have suffered much damage, it was still about a thousand!
"See,! Could it be that these people are all heavenly soldiers? ”
Not only that, but King Lin Hu also heard the sound of a whining horn coming from miles away.
That was the signal that the cavalry of the Zhao State was about to launch a general attack!
