Chapter 173: The Great Army Pressed (2)

"General, should we take advantage of the unstable foothold of the Xirong army to attack and kill." Captain Zhichong of the Scout Mansion suggested to Hu Qiong.

"Now that the enemy situation is unknown, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to attack rashly!" Xizhai Zhichong said.

Hu Qiong thought for a while and said: "Captain An obeys the order, and the general orders you to lead the three hundred cavalry of the headquarters to tentatively raid the Xirong forward army, and give the enemy's combat strength to the general." ”

"No! Commanded by humility. Captain Scout Zhichong happily answered.

"Captain Luo, order all the soldiers to prepare to meet the enemy and meet the scout cavalry at any time."

"No! Commanded by humility. ”

With Hu Qiong's military orders issued one by one, the soldiers of the White Tiger Army in the entire Xizhai immediately took action, Hu Qiong and Captain Luo led a group of crossbowmen to climb the wall, all the bed crossbows and crossbows were all triggered, ready to meet the three hundred scout cavalry out of the city at any time.

"Squeak! Squeak! Squeak......"

The heavy gate of the fortress was opened, and Captain An rushed out with a glaive sword in his hand, followed by three hundred scout cavalry behind him.

On the other side, seeing that there were cavalry rushing out of the village, the deputy general of the Xirong Forward Army immediately reported to the main general, Murong Haoyu, the right general: "General Yu, the cavalry of the Yongjun army rushed out of the village?" ”

"How many are there?" Murong Hao asked very calmly.

"General, there are about three or four hundred horsemen; General, what should we do? ”

"What's the panic, it's obvious that such a little person is here to test us." Murong Hao said with great disdain: "Pass on my generals, and the army will defend on the spot; Ben will give you 500 iron horses, and you will meet them, and it is better to keep them all. ”

"No! The last general commanded. The adjutant general immediately received the order.

Although the Xirong forward army is all cavalry, and they have just arrived here, they are still quite well prepared, and after Murong Hao's military order was issued, 30,000 cavalry immediately set up a formation; 10,000 cavalry soldiers dismounted, armed with huge shields and crossbows, to form a defensive line, and the remaining 20,000 cavalry lined up behind the defensive line.

"Driving, driving, driving......"

The deputy general of the Xirong Forward Army led 500 Xirong iron cavalry to leave the military formation, and led 300 to kill Captain An, but because the Xirong cavalry started too close, when the two armies were about to meet, their speed was not raised at all.

"Shoot the arrow......s," Captain An shouted, raising the Glaive Knife in his hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Three hundred sharp arrows pierced the silence and flew directly towards the Xirong Iron Horse.

Seeing the arrows flying towards them, some of the charging Xirong cavalry couldn't help laughing, in their opinion, the Yongjun cavalry was too straw, this distance was still far away! If you shoot arrows so far, you can't even hurt your own hair.

"Poof, poof, poof......"

But before the laughter of the Xirong cavalry fell, a sad scene happened, many Xirong cavalry stared at the sharp arrows inserted in their bodies with big eyes and disbelief on their faces, and then fell off their horses, and were directly trampled into flesh by the cavalry who rushed up from behind.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

After the first round of arrow rain, the cavalry of the White Tiger Army immediately shot the second and third rounds; However, the effect of these two rounds of arrow rain is obviously not as good as the first round of arrow rain, after the first loss, Xijon cavalry decisively hid their bodies on the side of the horse's belly, in order to reduce their attack surface.

At the same time, the Xirong cavalry also began to fight back with bows and arrows, but because the White Tiger Army scouts had already prepared and hid tightly one by one, the losses were very small, only a dozen people were hit by arrows, and they did not fall off their horses.

"Melee combat, kill, kill, kill......"

"Poof, poof, poof......"

The cavalry of the two armies hedged against each other, and basically the line was all swords, and the cavalry constantly fell off their horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the hooves of the horses running back and forth.

After the first engagement, there were less than 200 people left in Xirong's 500 iron cavalry, while the White Tiger Army's scout team lost less than 100 people, and most of these people were wounded and did not die.

The reason why the White Tiger Army scout team suffered such a low loss was due to the excellent equipment of the Yong Army, like Hu Qiong's White Tiger Army Scout Mansion, the equipment was very good.

Because Hu Qiong did not have cavalry heavy armor in his hand, when Captain An went out of the village, Hu Qiong ordered people to wear two layers of armor for each of the three hundred warriors, one layer of leather armor and one layer of iron armor outside; When the two armies were fighting against each other just now, the Xirong cavalry tried their best to swing their swords and slash, but they could only barely cut through these two layers of armor, and at most the scouts suffered minor injuries.

On the other hand, the Xirong Iron Cavalry, although it is called the Iron Cavalry, but most of them only have a layer of leather armor, such a defense When the two armies were fighting, the knights of the White Tiger Army Scout Team easily used the sabers in their hands to break through the defense of the Xirong Iron Cavalry and cut it off their horses.

Hu Qiong, who was standing on the wall of the village and watching, clapped his legs and applauded when he saw this scene, and the soldiers of the White Tiger Army guarding the village stood up and cheered and cheered for their comrades.

And Murong Hao on the other side has a black face that is no different from the bottom of the pot, the cavalry is the housekeeping ability of the Xirong Khanate, according to Murong Hao's experience, in the past, the Xirong Iron Cavalry attacked, often invincible, and the worst time was also a draw.

"Such an elite must not allow them to go back alive." Murong Hao secretly made up his mind in his heart.

"The order is that 20,000 cavalry will attack and annihilate all the cavalry supporting the army out of the village to Lao Tzu." Murong Hao immediately ordered.

The generals next to him were a little stupid; "I'll go, our right general won't be taking the wrong medicine! 20,000 cavalry went to kill 300 people, which is also too much fuss. ”

Several generals were stunned for a moment, and immediately ordered: "The last general will take the order." ”

Several generals immediately went back to prepare after receiving the order, and Hu Qiong, who was watching the battle on the wall, immediately noticed this scene and immediately ordered: "Captain Luo Mingjin collects his troops." ”

"No!"

The sound of the gong "bell, bell, bell......" came from the wall.

Captain An frowned, and ordered: "Brothers, go back to the village with this school, rush!" ”

"Ding, ding...... Bells, bells......"

Captain An's scouts and the remnants of Adjutant General Xijon collided again and engaged in a fierce battle.

"Rumble, Rumble, Boom......"

Xirong's 20,000 cavalry slowly drove out of a large formation and galloped towards the battlefield between the two sides.

Looking at the boundless Xirong cavalry that was killing him, Captain Luo opened his mouth and scolded: "Nana's, really give me Lao Luo face, brothers don't want to die, don't be sticky with them, follow Lao Tzu to kill ......"

"Poof...... Bell ......"

"Rumble, Rumble, Boom......"

After a period of fighting, Captain Luo rushed out of the remnants of the army led by Deputy General Xirong with a scout team of more than 200 people, and rushed all the way to the Zhaimen.

"Open the gate, and the crossbowmen are ready to meet the enemy." Hu Qiong ordered loudly.

On the battlefield outside the wall, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, and the 20,000 Xirong iron cavalry are about to hit the ass of Captain Luo's scouts.

"Brothers, return to the horse arrows." Captain Luo glanced back at the pursuing Xirong Iron Cavalry and ordered.

The scout cavalry who heard the military order loosened the reins and took out their bows and arrows, turned their bodies on their horses one hundred and eighty degrees and shot the arrows, shooting round after round, as long as they did not return to the cottage, they had to keep shooting, unless the pursuing Xijon iron cavalry was dead.
