Chapter Ninety-Four: Bloodthirsty Killing
Just when a large group of court officers and soldiers were torn apart by a small number of cavalry and collapsed, on the distant horizon, another group of officers and soldiers who came to support appeared. Unlike these officers and soldiers who were on the verge of life and death, the officers and soldiers who came to reinforce him were very capable, and he set the formation away from a distance, and then slowly pressed towards the chaotic battlefield.
Soon, Cheng Yanjin, who was fighting, discovered the abnormality in the distance and stopped the pursuit, Cheng Yanjin turned his head to look, only to see that with a rush of passwords, the court officers and soldiers who were still in chaos just now were immediately silent, only hearing the sound of military boots running.
In an instant, one after another neat queues were arranged, and the various arms using different weapons were also integrated, such well-trained movements not only revealed the quality of these imperial officers and soldiers themselves, but also indirectly reflected the extraordinary generals who came to command.
Looking at the large group of pikemen walking in front of the line side by side to open the way, Cheng Yanjin frowned, it seems that the new commander has some eyesight, and has found that it is the most stupid thing to fight with his own cavalry in hand-to-hand combat, so he uses spears suitable for long-distance combat, in a vain attempt to keep these terrible cavalrymen out of the safe range.
Looking at the rows of pikemen behind them, a column of hand-to-hand combat swordsmen followed, walking without any confusion, responding to each other, and the queues were well-coordinated, Cheng Yanjin's face was extremely ugly. He was there thinking about how to deal with the regrouped officers and soldiers, but he heard a burst of laughter around him, and then saw his men rushing towards him.
These cavalrymen had been carried away by the victory just now, and seeing the return of the defeated court officers and soldiers just now, these cavalrymen laughed one after another, and in order to show their bravery, they rushed out one by one as if they were playing, shouting and screaming in their mouths, lest others not notice.
Although Cheng Yanjin shouted in the back, "Come back, come back quickly!" But it was already too late, and how could the galloping horses stop for a while. Cheng Yanjin was helpless, seeing that the cavalry that was advancing lightly was surrounded by the officers and soldiers of the imperial court who were fighting and retreating, he had no choice but to lead the rest of the men and horses to follow behind him to support.
For a time, the situation of these 500 cavalry was very bad, and there were surging enemies on all sides. Although in one-on-one or even one-on-five battles, these court officers and soldiers were no match for the cavalry of the Heroes Society, but now they occupied a huge numerical advantage, often a dozen or even dozens of court officers and soldiers were responsible for besieging the cavalry of the Heroes Society.
In an instant, countless guns and arrows rained down on the cavalry of the Heroes Society who were surrounded. At this time, everyone realized that stepping into the threshold of martial arts and having peerless martial arts does not mean that they are invincible on the battlefield.
Battlefield fighting is completely different from the battle of the rivers and lakes, the former pays attention to efficiency, and the tricks should be simple, direct, and fierce, and they must be fatal with one blow, without a trace of procrastination and tricks. In contrast, there were too many unnecessary false moves in the martial arts moves they cultivated, and the moves were too cumbersome and complicated.
A cavalryman of the Heroes Club just made a false move on the horse, trying to lure the enemy in front of him to be fooled, but more than a dozen knives were cut at the same time, and in an instant, the first-class master on the rivers and lakes chopped the horses into meat sauce, this cavalryman's eyes were wide on the verge of death, and he couldn't bat at himself, "It's not that I haven't learned martial arts well, it's really that these people don't follow the rules to fight, what can I do?" ”
Moreover, the most important point of battlefield fighting is the tacit understanding between companions, you advance and I retreat, you left and I right, and we must take care of each other, otherwise, even if you are the top player on the rivers and lakes, if you are alone in the siege of the enemy, you will only end up with exhaustion and death.
These, Cheng Yanjin and others, who lack actual combat experience, don't understand, and those instructors with battlefield experience also forgot to tell them, for this, these cavalrymen of the Heroes Association paid the price of blood, at a glance, there are enemies in all directions, and the cold light of weapons everywhere is shining.
The cavalry who was surrounded in the middle could avoid a machete, block a stabbing spear, and dodge a few arrows with his extraordinary skills, but he couldn't dodge more than a dozen machetes and countless arrows and spears that were cut at the same time from different directions and different angles, so in an instant, Cheng Yanjin painfully found that dozens of cavalry were cut off by the enemy in an instant.
Looking at the dozens of cavalry remaining in the encirclement like a small flower in the huge waves, struggling, Cheng Biting Jin gritted his teeth, blood flowed down his lips, but he still didn't know.
He and the cavalry behind him who came to support were entangled by the pikemen who were blocking the outside defense, and several shocks were forced back by the opponent's distant stabs.
Cheng Yanjin only felt that his blood was full of blood, and he was furious, seeing that his people suffered heavy casualties in less than a meal, the team was compressed and divided a little bit, and the number of people was gradually decreasing, Cheng Yanjin laughed angrily, simply jumped off the horse, and brandished the big plate axe in his hand to kill the officers and soldiers in front of him.
Desperately injured, Cheng Biting Jin approached the spearman in front of him, looking at the other party's panicked expression, Cheng Biting Jin roared angrily, "Death to grandpa!" "As he spoke, he swung the big plate axe in his hand, and used the third move of the thirty-six axes in the opening of the sky, 'Ten Thousand Paths and Human Traces'. In an instant, a large number of officers and soldiers in front of Cheng Yanjin fell.
Along the road in front of him, Cheng Yanjin rushed towards the cavalry in the encirclement with blood all over his body. Along the way, all the officers and soldiers who intercepted him were completely killed by the extremely lethal move 'Ten Thousand Paths and Human Traces' that he used.
Since the last time Cheng Yanjin inexplicably recovered the broken meridians from the place where the spirit stone fell from the sky in Lingshi County, he was pleasantly surprised to find that although his internal strength cultivation had been lowered by one level, when he used the thirty-six axes of opening the heavens, which consumed extremely internal force, he did not have the restraint that one move could only be used once in the past, even if he did not use the secret method that stimulated the acceleration of internal force, he could use this move back and forth more than a dozen times, and the internal force in the meridians consumed very little.
Cheng Yanjin advanced step by step like this, killing all the officers and soldiers in front of him, and finally entered the encirclement and merged with the remaining dozens of cavalry. Looking at the cavalry that was bloodstained but still resisting, Cheng Yanjin didn't feel a little sad, but also a little moved.
Yelled at them, "Brothers, follow me and kill them!" Cheng Yanjin brandished two big axes and killed them along the road he had killed. And the cavalry outside also hurried towards this place to respond.
Finally, all the cavalry that was still alive gathered. Looking at the sky that had darkened, Cheng Yanjin jumped on a deserted war horse next to him, and led the remaining cavalry to kill in the direction of the Sparrow Mouse Valley.
Facing the dense officers and soldiers on the opposite side, Cheng Yanjin took the lead in opening the way, and the big plate axe in his hand used the move one after another to 'run through the sun and the moon', and the surging internal strength turned the people in front of the enemy on their backs, and forcibly opened a path in the dense enemy.
Following this path, which only allowed two horsemen to pass side by side, the cavalry behind Cheng Yanjin slashed at the enemies on both sides of the road as they advanced. The terrifying attacks of the cavalry were like the raging waves of the sea at high tide, wave after wave. So on the way the cavalry charged, corpses were strewn all over the ground, and rivers of blood flowed.
After a bloody battle, Cheng Yanjin finally led a part of the cavalry to break out of the enemy's encirclement and galloped towards the Bird Mouse Valley. Behind them, there was a wall of corpses. Most of them were court officers and soldiers who came to besiege them, and some of them were heroic cavalrymen who died in battle. The horses that had lost their masters stood alone in the middle of the battlefield, neighing mournfully. Beside them, columns of imperial officers and soldiers rushed through like a torrent, chasing after Cheng Yanjin and others.
Looking up at the cipher mark on the valley above, Cheng Biting Jin waved his hand, and everyone suddenly stopped and carefully walked around the mark on the ground. In a pioneering area, they began to clean up their wounds. It didn't take long for the sound of the horse's hooves of the pursuers behind him. Looking at Cheng Yanjin and the others who were resting not far in front of them, these cavalrymen couldn't care about the surprise in their hearts, and hurriedly rushed up.
Suddenly, the dozen or so cavalrymen who rushed to the front felt the horses under them suddenly stop, and then these cavalrymen were thrown out by the huge inertia, and flew in the air for a distance, and fell the open space in front of them. Two of them with poor luck fell on the stones, and their heads bloomed on the spot, and ** flowed to the ground.
The cavalry chasing after him suddenly exclaimed, "Be careful, there is a trip!" At the moment of speaking, more than a dozen cavalrymen and horses fell to the ground. The horse with its front hooves broken lay on the ground screaming miserably, and the cavalry on the horse was bleeding from the broken head, and they were dizzy and did not know where they were.
Worse still, the valley was so hard pressed by the pursuing cavalry that the valley was so twisted that the cavalry behind could not see what was ahead, and by the time they rushed to the reins, it was too late, so the unfortunate fellows fell to the ground one by one, one after the other, until they had covered the stumbling ropes on the ground.
And the cavalry that rushed over in the follow-up was not blocked by the tripping rope, and naturally moved forward. In this way, the cavalry who had fallen to the ground and were crawling with difficulty with a painful sound suddenly fell into bad luck, and these subsequent cavalrymen trampled their horses over them mercilessly. In fact, there was no mercy, for the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and it was getting dark, so the unfortunate fellows let out a miserable cry of pain, until one by one they were trampled to pulp by the horses.
And their companions who were lucky enough to rush to the front did not end well, and Cheng Yanjin, who had already been waiting for him, led his martial arts masters to cut off the heads of these fish that slipped through the net one by one. It was only then that the officers and soldiers of the court realized that they had made the great mistake of lightly advancing the enemy, and the cavalry that followed immediately stopped, making way for the infantry behind them, and letting the slow-paced pikemen walk in front of them.
Unexpectedly, just as the pursuers were adjusting their formation, they could only hear a rumbling sound from the valleys on both sides, and when they looked up, they saw a large round black thing rolling down the hillside. Before these officers and soldiers could react, they were smashed into pulp by large stones falling from the sky. In a few moments, the passage of the valley was tightly blocked by the corpses and stones of the imperial officers and soldiers.
