Chapter Eighty-Five: A Little Try
Wei Qionglou ordered:
"We're going to take the bridge before the thieves, brethren, quicken the pace!"
After that, Lan Ziyi led the front team of 1,000 cavalry to accelerate forward along the avenue,
Seeing the cavalry chasing after him, the thief became more and more flustered, and threw off his steps and ran forward.
It was a good thing for the thieves to flee in the wilderness, but what made Lan Ziyi a little puzzled was that although the formation of the thieves became more and more chaotic when they fled, no one was left behind, and they did not run away, they still united together. Do thieves have such training?
When Wei Qionglou saw the enemy fleeing, he immediately ordered the whole team to speed up, and he must seize the bridge in front to cross the river, and by the way, he passed the order back to make the second team tighter.
Seeing that the cavalry behind him was about to follow, the thieves left the main road in a group and jumped into the paddy fields by the roadside.
On the east bank of the creek, the road runs east-west, and from the paddy fields to the north of the road are the mountains and groves.
In order to prevent the enemy from escaping to the north of the road, he fled directly into the woods after swimming across the river, Wei Qionglou sent a small group of people to rush into the paddy field in the north of the road.
It was because of this group of rogues that the soldiers marched in a hurry in this broken weather, and the war horses that got along with them day and night died, and they were all sick, and they were all the way to hold the boss's goods, and they finally set off again.
Those who didn't have long eyes to run to the north of the road, and those who ran back to the south of the road quickly with their eyes were okay, and when they saw a life, a few slow legs and feet were directly pierced by the long lance of the cavalry of the Jihu battalion and nailed to the field.
The knights who cleared the thieves to the north of the road completed the task excellently, but Lan Ziyi and Wei Qionglou also saw clearly that compared to coming on hard ground, this attack had neither speed nor impact, because the thieves had no courage to flee for their lives, and there were not many of them, so they were quickly disposed of by the soldiers. The sergeants who rushed to the field had a lot of trouble to get home, and the horses were a little tired from such a toss.
However, the purpose of seizing the bridge was finally achieved.
Wei Qionglou and Lan Ziyi led the team to cross the river, followed the road in the west of the river, and lined up along the woods at the foot of the mountain.
The 1,000 soldiers of the second team spread out on the east side of the river, making the appearance of wanting to charge the fleeing thieves.
The thief didn't bother to look back at this time, and jumped into the river and swam under the leadership of the man dressed as a god.
The front team led by Wei Qionglou and Lan Ziyi accelerated forward to win a chance to rest for themselves, looking at the thieves who were about to cross the river, Wei Qionglou said:
"If the bow still works, don't try to run away today. Wei Hou, the thief is half-crossing, I think there is an opportunity. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"Just now, the general insisted on refusing to fight, but at this time he is happy to fight?"
Wei Qionglou listened to Lan Ziyi's words with a sense of banter, and he was not polite, and said with a smile:
"Wei Hou, you've been riding on the horse for so long, and it seems that my soldiers are not so sick."
Lan Ziyi heard Wei Qionglou sarcastically mocking his weak body, turned his head and glared at Wei Qionglou, and then the two looked at each other and laughed.
Lan Ziyi didn't get well with a cold, and this smile caused a violent cough.
After stopping, Lan Ziyi said:
"General Wei also saw it just now, the riders rushed into the paddy field and fell into the mud, and they couldn't rush at all. And most of the soldiers were sick and couldn't move. I don't think it's worth it to put the soldiers in danger for the sake of this sweetness. β
Wei Qionglou nodded and said:
"Alas. It's just that such a good opportunity was missed, and I was unwilling. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"I don't think it's an opportunity. General Wei, you think, I'm waiting for the iron cavalry to chase behind this group of rogues, and the ordinary people would have scattered and fled a long time ago, this group of thieves has been gathering together and running for so long, this is not right......"
Suddenly, Lan Ziyi shouted behind him:
"Wei Hou be careful!"
Before the words fell, there was a sudden sound of swishing wind behind Lan Ziyi, and a shuttle dart flew over grazing Lan Ziyi's helmet, not alone, but a lot of shuttle darts flew out of the woods behind Lan Ziyi.
The soldiers were wearing heavy armor, and this kind of shuttle dart would not cause harm at all, but the horses under the seat were not so lucky, and many horses won the bid and ran in fright.
"There's an ambush!" A thought flashed in Lan Ziyi's heart,
At the same time, there was a lot of noise in the forest, and the crowd was crowded, and it was impossible to see how many people rushed down from the woods on the mountain bag. And the fleeing thieves had already crossed the river and came to the west side of the river.
Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth, his face was fierce, and he exchanged glances with Wei Qionglou, both of them saw that the other party had the same heart as themselves, and they both made up their minds.
Then the two of them drew their swords and swords, and shouted loudly:
"Brethren, charge!"
With that, he took the lead and rushed into the paddy field.
Because Lan Ziyi and they have already started a battle formation after coming to the east side of the river, it is too late to turn the horse's head and escape along the main road, and it is not only too late to turn around to meet the enemy, but also to face the unfavorable conditions such as uphill attack and psychological panic after the ambush.
In addition, Wei Qionglou and Lan Ziyi are both brave and ruthless people, wouldn't they have lost their morale by running away at this time? It is more likely to be seen through the truth. So the two of them made the most suitable choice at the moment and led the team to attack the thieves who had just crossed the river.
After receiving the order, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion flattened their long lances, clamped them under their armpits, and shouted loudly and rushed towards the thieves with Lan Ziyi and Wei Qionglou. Peach and Peach are tightly behind Lan Ziyi, for fear that Lan Ziyi will make a mistake.
Although the morale of the soldiers is high, they can't stop the location and are not on their side, so they can't rush up at all, they rush a few steps after going down to the field, and then they can only struggle to move forward, and the speed is just enough to avoid the chasing soldiers behind them.
The thieves who crossed the river no longer had the panicked appearance of running away just now, but stood in the paddy field under the command of the god stick, although they did not line up in formation, but it seemed that they were going to resist Lan Ziyi's attack this time.
Wei Qionglou drove the horse forward with difficulty, and when he saw that the thief was planning to resist, he said to this Lan Ziyi:
"We've been tricked?"
Lan Ziyi said:
"I don't think so, if the thief wouldn't have been in such a hurry.
The most important thing is that whether there is a plan or not, now we can only survive if we fight to the death to fight a bloody way! Fight with Ya! β
As he spoke, the cavalry had already come to the front of the thief, and the first thing he greeted was the pike dart thrown by the thief.
The shuttle darts came like locusts, and it was very scary to look at, but most of the armor on the soldiers bounced off, and some only scratched the parts that were not armored, and some of the sergeants were unlucky and were pierced in the calf.
Compared with people, because the war horses were not equipped with equipment, there were many injuries.
The cavalry rushed in front of the thieves without much impact, and the lances were useless, and they were thrown out by the soldiers. Then the soldiers drew their sabers and fought hand-to-hand with the thieves.
I saw the soldiers slashing left and right in the crowd with round sabers, and the blades with cold light cut through the fog in the air, drawing perfect arcs one after another in the air, and in such a gloomy sky, they were actually embellished with a strange beauty like a meteor.
The thieves have no armor, most of them just hold a few shuttle darts, and can only subconsciously raise their guns to block the knife in the face of the condescending slashing of the Beijing army on horseback, and the result can also be imagined, the person who is cut can only be cut in half with a knife, some of the heads are cut off in half, and some of the hands are cut off.
Lan Ziyi also slashed left and right with a sword, because he was sick and had no strength, although he also slashed people, but he was only cut. However, Lan Ziyi cut with his own eyes how the soldiers next to him cut the Liukou into several sections like chopping melons and vegetables, and a thief Kou leaned next to the soldier's horse and wanted to pull people off the horse, but was cut off by the soldier on the horse with a knife against the left skull, and directly removed the shoulder of the thief after shaving off the left side of the face. The thief fell to the ground with a knife, covered his wounds, and was trampled to death by the hooves of the other Beijing soldiers who came up from behind.
The Jihu Battalion is worthy of being a soldier guarding the capital, with skilled swordsmanship and well-trained, and its morale is high even if the terrain is unfavorable. It stands to reason that a group of thieves gathered together should have collapsed in this one-sided killing scene like slaughtering animals, but they didn't expect the god stick who led the thief army to shout slogans in the rear:
"The heart has a magic weapon, and it is reincarnated as an immortal
Subdue demons and eliminate demons, and ascend to the sky in one step! β
The surrounding thieves shouted like crazy:
"Subdue demons and eliminate demons! One step to the sky! β
As if he couldn't see his companions who were cut down by the knights in front of him, he continued to pounce on the soldiers of the Beijing army. All of a sudden, the battle was in a stalemate.
Lan Ziyi had lost his strength after a few slashes, and his intuition was spinning, and he almost fainted under the horse, but fortunately, Tao Zhulu and Tao Zhutu were inseparable by their side, blocking the thieves for Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi was so anxious when he saw the battle situation, if it was put in peacetime, with the combat strength of the Beijing army, the thieves would only die faster if they were so fierce and not afraid of death, but now most of the soldiers in the army are suffering from the same illness as themselves, and at this time they are fighting with a breath, after a while, once they are discouraged, they will be bored, but if the thieves do not collapse, they will be in trouble.
At this time, the thief army who had been ambushed on the mountain bag just now had all rushed down from the woods in the mountain, and the number was not large, only a few hundred, it seemed that they were just people who had been arranged here to answer in advance, not an ambush circle prepared in advance to intercept Lan Ziyi and them.
Just as the gang of thieves was shouting and wanted to take Lan Ziyi from behind, the 1,000 cavalry of the Chinese army galloped down from the bridge and rushed into the ambush of the thieves who were descending the mountain. Although it could not be spread out on the road, the knights could only accommodate three horsemen to charge side by side, but this was enough, the few hundred thieves were not enough for the thousand cavalry to charge, most of them were rushed or cut to the ground, and a few who were lucky enough were completely frightened and fled.
The group of people who were fighting with Lan Ziyi were originally holding on, and at this time, seeing that the response of the official army had arrived, they finally held on, and the people behind the team turned around and fled, once one person began to flee, and the rest were brought to fight unintentionally, the morale of the thieves collapsed instantly, and many people were in a hurry and had to jump into the stream on the side.
Seeing this, the leading god scolded loudly:
"Cowards, all back! You're going to hell if you run now! We believe that it is the road of reincarnation, and now if you kill the righteous demon here, you can be reincarnated as an immortal and ascend to the sky in one step! Come back! Give me all back! β
What he didn't notice was that the people around him had already run away, and Wei Qionglou had already ridden to his side.
Shen Stick felt strange around him, and turned his head to see a casserole-sized fist flying towards the door in front of him,
After being knocked to the ground, he was stomped on the chest again, and he almost lost his breath.
Wei Qiong stepped on the god stick downstairs, felt puzzled and grabbed the hair of the god stick and lifted the person up, scolding:
"Bastard, the brothers of Lao Tzu who killed him hung the lottery, and let Lao Tzu eat an ambush, how many knives do you think I will scrape you to let you die?"
This god stick actually laughed when he heard Wei Qionglou's words
"Ambush? The one in the woods just now was also called an ambush? Now it's called an ambush! β
