Chapter 118: A Thousand Miles to Kill Generals
Tao Zhutu pointed to the front and said:
"Wei Hou! Look ahead. β
Lan Ziyi looked at the peach and rabbit, and then the moonlight and starlight that appeared from time to time in the sky, Lan Ziyi saw that there were about 100 people in front of him who were riding horses and galloping.
The living man also heard the sound of the horse's hooves chasing after him, and when he looked back, he saw that the pursuers were coming, and he drew his horse even more desperately.
ε °εδΉ says:
"Chase!"
There is no need for Lan Ziyi to remind them, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion are already accelerating their charge.
The shame of being besieged in Dangyang, and the Pao Ze brothers, who were ambushed and killed in a foreign land, whipped the souls of the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion at all times, making it difficult for them to sleep.
Now that they finally got their chance, of course they had to do their best.
The thief's horse has been galloping for a long time, and its speed is gradually slowing down.
Although they are still running hard under the whipping of the thieves, anyone can see that the thieves are gone, and they can't hold out for long.
Lan Ziyi and they came from another horse, and they had the strength to accelerate a wave.
But there is only one chance, because the bandit camp is not far away, and if it goes any further, I am afraid that there will be reinforcements from the bandits.
Life and death are only on the front line, and whether they can successfully kill the thieves depends on Lan Ziyi's skills.
As the horses of the soldiers of the Jihu battalion galloped, the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, and finally reached the range of the horn bow.
Lan Ziyi immediately ordered
"Shoot the arrows!"
On the side, the peach chased the rabbit and said:
"Wait a little longer, wait for the Marquis, wait to get closer. It's still too far to shoot the arrow. β
ε °εδΉ says:
"No, if you wait any longer, you will have to go to the camp of thieves, then there will be no chance."
Then Lan Ziyi shouted to the whole army
"Shoot the arrows! Since you're the best, find a way to shoot the thief off your horse. β
The armies obeyed the order, stood on the stirrups, took out their bows and arrows, pulled the strings, and released the arrows.
The arrow feather leaves the hand, and the bowstring shakes the air,
The arrows whizzed by, pointing directly at the thieves.
The soldiers of the Jihu battalion are still very good, and the arrows are all in the back of the neck, the back of the heart, and the waist of the door.
But the problem is that Lan Ziyi is chasing the enemy, and when the arrow feathers glide in the air, they have to offset the speed of the thief's escape, and when they fall on the thief, they have no strength.
In addition, the thief is covered in armor, and the dense arrow feathers can only make a ding-dong sound when they hit the thief's body.
After being attacked by the arrow feather, the thief also took out his bow and arrow and turned around to shoot back, but the thief was obviously unable to shoot well, and the arrow was simply a purposeless random shot, and the arrow feather flew everywhere, anyway, none of them fell on the soldiers of the Jihu battalion.
Lan Ziyi saw that the thief Kou was so bad, he laughed happily and greeted:
"As far as the thief is concerned, it is our plate of food, the meat of our mouth,
Brothers, work harder. β
Originally, when the soldiers were chasing just now, they were still worried about the thieves returning fire, so they were cautious when they released the arrows, and after releasing the arrows, they lowered their bodies to protect the gaps in their armor so as not to be hit.
Now that I see the accuracy of the thief's archery, I also put my heart back in my stomach.
All the soldiers hurried their horses and stood on horseback to shoot boldly and confidently.
At this time, the peach next to the rabbit said:
"That doesn't seem right."
Lan Ziyi was on the rise, stepping on the stirrup and brandishing his saber and shouting to kill, when he heard the words of the peach chasing rabbit and asked:
"What's wrong?"
ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"Wei Hou forgot that when Yang was surrounded, when we rushed to the thief Kou main formation, the thief was the marksman in the guard? The arrow hit me in the forearm, and the wound wasn't healed yet.
If we are chasing the thieves of the day now, these guards should be the ones who released the arrows at that time, why is the accuracy so bad? It's not like the same group of people at all......"
Lan Ziyi's heart sank when he heard this, and he shouted
"Not good! Be careful, everyone. β
Before he finished speaking, Lan Ziyi felt the wind not far in front of him, and hurriedly lowered his head.
At the moment when he lowered his head, the arrow grazed against the top of Lan Ziyi's helmet and shot down the white helmet on the top.
Lan Ziyi lay on the horseback and touched his face carefully, and when he saw that he was not injured, he touched the helmet on his head again, and was shocked into a cold sweat.
The other soldiers of the Jihu Battalion also hurriedly lowered their bodies under Lan Ziyi's reminder,
But it was still too late, many soldiers were hit, some were hit by arrows in the weak parts of their armor, and a few unlucky faces were hit by arrows and fell directly off their horses.
Lan Ziyi hated it when he saw this, this Lei Youde was scheming, and he had calculated himself so many times,
On the side, Tao Zhutu asked:
"Wei Hou, are you okay?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"It's fine. οΌ
Then he scolded:
"There are few thieves, even if you take people's lives today, you can exchange your life for a life today, and you can destroy this gang of bastards."
Then Lan Ziyi shouted an order:
"Whoever shoots a thief will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, and whoever shoots a thief will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver.
Those who can shoot the thief will be rewarded with 50 silver, and those who can shoot and kill will be rewarded with 100 silver, and if they can capture Lei Youde alive, he will be rewarded with 200 taels!
I, Lan Ziyi, use my own savings as a reward, and there is no lie! β
Without Lan Ziyi's reward for silver, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were already angered by the tricks of the thieves.
After hearing the price offered by Lan Ziyi, the soldiers were even more eager to kill the enemy.
Just now, the soldier who was hit by the arrow gritted his teeth and broke the arrow on his body without saying a word, carefully dodging the thief's arrow, and at the same time firing back with the arrow.
Chasing all the way, the Jihu camp was getting closer and closer to the thieves, and a soldier got up to lure the thieves to release arrows, and just after dodging, he pulled his bow and fired back.
Before the thief could turn back, an arrow shot out, hitting the throat, and the thief fell off his horse.
Seeing this, Lan Ziyi shouted:
"Hit the thief and reward 10 taels of silver, kill the thief and reward 20 taels of silver, a total of 30 taels of silver!
Give me your name and go back and get it.
See, the cavalry and shooting thieves are not our opponents at all, and the ones running in front are not the enemy, but the silver with one ingot after another! Thieves are limited, and you don't have many opportunities to make money. β
When the soldiers saw that the thieves were shot down, their courage doubled
And when he heard that the reward was rich, his eyes were red,
So everyone showed their skills, fired arrows at extremely tricky angles, and shot the thieves off their horses through the gaps in their armor.
The lightning or the two sides have exchanged countless firepower,
The thieves kept fighting back, and from time to time someone on the side of the Jihu Camp was hit by an arrow and fell off the horse.
However, there are many thieves with arrows, and there are fewer arrows in the tiger camp.
The number of thieves was originally smaller than that of the Jihu Battalion, but now there are fewer and fewer people who have shot so many rounds.
After two chases, the thieves and the Jihu camp are getting closer and closer, and they can draw knives to cut people.
Suddenly, a horse on the side of the Tiger Camp stumbled and rolled to the ground.
ζ‘θΏ½ε says:
"The thief shoots the horse's eye!"
Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth with hatred and said:
"The thieves are at the end of their rope, shoot me!"
The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were reluctant to shoot horses, but when they saw that the thieves were so unreasonable, the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion were no longer polite, so they shot one horse and fired arrows according to the horse's belly and legs.
The thief and the horse have run to the limit, and they can no longer support an arrow, and they can't stand on their knees.
In this way, the thieves were shot to the ground with men and horses at a very fast speed.
Finally shooting with only the last dozen or so horses left, Lan Ziyi could already see the cobalt-blue armor of the thief boss glistening in the moonlight.
In the end, these dozen horsemen were all elite thieves, and the war horses they rode were all carefully selected good horses, with strong horsepower, and the scales of their armor were layered on top of each other, and they were tightly protected.
It can be seen that these dozen horsemen are the close confidants of the thief general Lei Youde, and their loyalty is beyond doubt.
These dozen or so horses are divided into several layers, and Lei Youde is protected at the forefront.
Seeing the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion surrounding, these dozen or so thieves and knights suddenly turned around and came with a volley, and more than a dozen powerful arrows came straight to Lan Ziyi's side.
Lan Ziyi and the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion clinged to their horses, dodging the thieves' arrows.
Lan Ziyi rode in the center, and the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion on the periphery had already outflanked and caught up with the thieves chasing behind, and the horses of the two armies were very close to each other, almost sticking together.
The soldiers of the Jihu battalion did not leave the thieves with arrows, so they filled the horned bows, aimed at the gap under the hem of the thieves' helmets, and released the strings, and the arrow feathers went straight to the throat of the thieves, and the thieves in the middle couldn't even make a sound and rolled off the horse like a sack.
The thief in the circle hurriedly drew his bow and aimed at the soldiers of the Jihu battalion who followed on both wings, but the Chinese army who was attached to the horseback just now got up collectively at this time, and released a volley, all of which hit the base of the thief's thigh, and the thief fell off his horse.
By this time, Lei Youde only had two cavalry guards left, and both of them were wounded.
But after this period of fighting, after turning a few corners, the thief camp has come into view.
ε °εδΉ says:
"Thousands of miles to kill, only at this time, don't miss the opportunity."
Of course, the army understood this, and endured it without fighting back against the thieves.
After everyone was ready, they dodged the counterattack of Lei Youde's last two guards, and more than 200 people fired arrows together, and a rain of arrows rushed to the thieves.
One of the thieves shouted
"Heaven will be careful.!"
He urged the horse to protect behind Lei Youde, and half of the arrow hit him, and the centaur instantly turned into a hedgehog, and then fell to the ground.
Before the other person was hit by the arrow, he turned around and released an arrow at Lan Ziyi, at the cost of the front face, throat, armpits, and crotch, all of which were hit by arrows, needless to say, and rolled off the horse.
The sacrifice of these two people bought Lei Youde precious time to escape.
Lei Youde kept slapping the horse's buttocks on the horse's back, and he had already drawn blood from the horse's buttocks.
It may be that it hurts too much, or it may be that he feels that his life is short, and the war horse under Lei Youde's seat suddenly accelerated, and he actually ran forward to throw Lan Ziyi and them away.
The camp of thieves was already in sight, and the gate of the camp could be seen open, and many rangers and infantry came out to meet them.
Lan Ziyi shouted:
"Finally, don't let the thief go."
When the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion heard this, they drew their bows here, and another volley was released.
But Lei Youde's war horse ran faster and faster, and opened up a distance, plus Lei Youde was close to the horse, and the armor on his body was particularly fine, and more than 200 arrow feathers did not shoot Lei Youde to death, but only collapsed the armor on Lei Youde's body, Lei Youde's war horse was hit by several arrows, and it was still running wildly, and there was no intention to stop.
Lan Ziyi looked at Lei Youde, his eyes erupted with fire, and he shouted:
"General Rabbit!"
The peach chase rabbit has already been on the horse, the horn bow is round, and it is aimed directly at a missing part of the armpit on Lei Youde's left armpit.
Then the peach chased the rabbit and snorted
"Oh no!"
An arrow is released. The arrow feathers went straight to that vital point, and if it hit, it would be seriously injured.
What he didn't think was that Lei Youde might want to see if there was still a threat in the back, so he suddenly turned back from the left, twisted his body, and his shoulder slipped to the place where the nail piece was missing just now.
A screaming arrow feather hit Lei Youde in the shoulder,
Lei Youde was in pain in the middle, lying on the back of the horse and covering the wound with his hands,
The thieves had already left the village, and Lei Youde's war horse fell to the ground a moment before stepping on his own infantry, throwing Lei Youde into the crowd.
The arrow on Lei Youde's shoulder was broken, and he was bleeding profusely, but his life was saved.
After the peach chased the rabbit and released the arrows, Lan Ziyi stopped the pursuit of the Jihu battalion, and seeing that Lei Youde was not killed, Lan Ziyi sighed:
"Thieves also have heavenly help?!"
Tao Zhutu wanted to catch up and make up for another arrow, but Lan Ziyi stopped him
"The formation of thieves has been decided, and our army is already sleepy and tired, and we can't go up again.
Let's withdraw! β
The eyes of the army were full of unwillingness, but the thief and crossbowman were ready, and there was no chance left, so everyone had to turn their horses around and retreat to Yuzhou City.
