Chapter Ninety-Two: The Mighty General of the Northern Army
Lan Ziyi and the Tao brothers finally stopped the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion at the end of the team, and the soldiers cursed incomprehensibly, why didn't they join the attack together,
Before Lan Ziyi could speak, there was a scream of the falling horses under the hills, and following the prestige, the thieves on both sides had begun to surround the warriors who fell into the horse pit, to Lan Ziyi's surprise, the actions of the thieves besieging the horse pit were not chaotic, but orderly, and there was no big fluctuation in the face of Lan Ziyi's side of their direction, and they were still organizing defense.
Wei Qionglou saw that his brother was trapped in the pit and wanted to rescue him, but the thieves from other directions also began to attack the besieged enemy at the same time, and the soldiers who came out to support were shot back by the bow and crossbow, and they were set on fire when they were in the limelight.
Lan Ziyi scolded secretly, and then scolded the soldiers around him:
"Why don't you let you go? See it now! Originally, there were few of us, and of course we had to calculate the attack accurately, and now the main force was taken down and sent to death by that brave and unscrupulous man, do you want to go with it and be burned to death? β
The sergeant who was shouting and cursing Lan Ziyi just now was dumbfounded when he saw the tragic situation under the mountain, and his face turned pale with fright, and he didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Tao Zhuhu said loudly:
"Wei Hou is the deputy general of the army, it is a serious crime to disobey orders, if you dare to disobey the order, then you will be corrected on the spot, I will do what I say!"
Then the Tao brothers drew their swords to protect Lan Ziyi's side, stepped on the stirrups and stood high,
The remaining soldiers of the Jihu Battalion did not dare to face the terrifying gaze of the Taohu Tiger, and bowed their heads in response, and someone said:
"Weihou, we listen to you, but what now?"
Lan Ziyi knew that they cared about the besieged soldiers, but due to the limitations of the situation, there were not many options available. There are still some soldiers who rushed down just now who did not fall into the pit, these are new forces, and they cannot be left alone, the southwest is too thick to break through, only the northeast can fight.
Lan Ziyi asked:
"How many people are left?"
ζ‘ζ΅ιΉΏ says:
"Five hundred!"
So Lan Ziyi pulled out his sword and shouted:
"The troops listened to the order, attacked the northeast phalanx of the thieves, and tried to open the gap to let the soldiers who didn't fall into the pit out!"
Peach Rabbit asked:
"What if there is another trap?"
ε °εδΉ says:
"Follow the route that the thief took just now, pay attention to your step, be careful."
At this time, Tao Zhuhu on the side grabbed Lan Ziyi and said:
"Wei Hou! You can't rush to the front anymore! You are not a practitioner, and there is no difference between rushing to the front and sending you to death! β
Lan Ziyi looked back at Tao Zhuhu, recalling the scene of taking the lead in attacking the Jiangling thieves a few days ago, and he was also a little afraid.
Tao Zhuhu saw that Lan Ziyi was moved, so he roared:
"The striker rushed with me. Chase the deer, chase the rabbit! You protect the guards. β
The two brothers listened and nodded,
Lan Ziyi shouted at the bottom of the mountain at this time:
"Desperately rush to the mouth of the Northeast Valley, I will find a way to open a gap for you!"
After that, he followed the forward and rushed down the mountain to the bandits.
As soon as the soldiers who were about to be dragged off their horses heard Lan Ziyi's order, they all took action and rushed along the edge of the hill towards the thieves in the northeast.
It is worthy of the Beijing battalion, in the end, it is well-trained and the morale is high, even if the formation is chaotic and the situation is bad, as long as the order is obtained, it will be executed at the first time.
In front of the soldiers was a forest of cutting long trees, and the few people who rushed to the front were all knocked to the ground with spears, which won the opportunity for the soldiers behind, and the people who followed behind took advantage of the fall of the soldiers in front of them to kill the thieves from the empty space of the long wood.
The thieves were not lined up in a dense formation, and Changmu was two people at a time, negligent in training, and was killed in just one moment, and the subsequent soldiers also rushed in with their swords.
It's just that the thieves here are much more well-trained than the thieves encountered in Gangneung, and when they saw the knights of the Jihu Battalion rushing in, they did not flee, nor did they swarm up bravely, but lined up in formation, followed by the pikemen and sword players behind the spearmen, blocking the way of the knights layer by layer.
The soldiers also knew that if they stopped here, they would definitely die, and they all charged desperately, the long lance in their hands rushed forward, the saber was waved, the silver light flashed in the melee, the flying fire flowed, and every slash and advance was accompanied by screams and gushing blood,
However, the thieves here are much better equipped than the Gangneung bandits, seeing that the soldiers are menacing, they all raise their rattan cards to block the swords, and the spearmen on the side also poke forward with their guns.
Although the soldiers are superb in riding and skilled in swordsmanship, they are hard to beat with two fists and four hands, and now there are more than four hands on the field!
Although most of the spears and short knives stretched out in all directions were blocked by the heavy armor of the soldiers, those on horses were still pulled off their horses.
The soldiers who were dragged to the ground were either wiped by short knives or beaten to death with bones, and some thieves took pickaxes from nowhere, and directly chiseled the soldiers who fell to the ground to death.
The scene suddenly flew flesh and blood, and it was impossible to tell whose severed limbs fell to the ground mixed with blood and water, and then were trampled into flesh by people or horses.
In the melee, the two sides greeted each other's families, and both sides fought hard enough, and the soldiers of the Jihu battalion rushed forward desperately regardless of casualties, and the soldiers who were recruited had already blocked the attack for their comrades with their own flesh and blood; The thieves sacrificed their lives and were bound to trap the officers and soldiers here.
At this time, the difference in the quality of the two warring armies was vividly reflected.
Although the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion had just suffered a major defeat, were under siege, and had a small number, as long as there were people commanding, they still continued to move closer to the designated place with mutual cooperation.
On the other hand, although the thieves have commendable courage and good planning, they actually fight and expose their weaknesses of not being trained and unable to cooperate effectively. Even if there are a large number of people, they still can't stop the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion who are desperately breaking through.
Looking at Lan Ziyi's side again, the five hundred cavalry condescendingly took advantage of the situation to descend the mountain and rushed straight to the left side of the thief formation.
Although the flanks of the thieves are lined up, it is to prevent Lan Ziyi from charging, but just now they have been attacking the officers and soldiers near the trap pit, and now there are still people in the picture, and the other bandit phalanx in the encirclement has also come up, the personnel are intertwined, and the organization is already a little chaotic, and the people who lift the long wood have all gone to besiege the trap just now, and they can't get closer to the flanks, and the archers and crossbowmen are crowded by their own people who are attacking from front to back, left, right, or retreating, and they can't launch an effective salvo, which gives Lan Ziyi their chance.
The troops in the front row under the leadership of Tao Zhuhu flattened the lance and rushed towards the enemy formation, although the thieves also raised their spears, but compared to the long lance of the official army, it was a little shorter.
In the moment before the two armies came into contact, the gun-wielding thieves subconsciously wanted to retreat, and some people covered their faces with their hands. Just such unconscious actions cost the lives of the thieves, and they also fulfilled the soldiers of the Jihu Battalion led by Lan Ziyi. The first row of soldiers charged to break up the defenses on the flanks of the thieves, and then rushed into the chaotic enemy line like wolves and slashed at them.
A leader in the thief phalanx shouted loudly, wanting to reorganize the manpower to surround the five hundred soldiers, the idea was very good, but unfortunately he met the peach tiger, and saw that the peach tiger picked up the horse lance and hurried to the side of the thief commander while going down the mountain, although the thief had thousands of troops and horses, but he didn't have time to react, and occasionally those who stood in the way were hit by the war horse and trampled into a meat pie.
The leader of the thieves saw a bright-armored warrior in the chaotic army rushing towards him, of course, he understood that the comer was not good, and hurriedly ordered his own soldiers to block the road.
However, the soldiers are all rattan players, the shield knife is short, and the period is in a hurry, although they are trying their best to block in front of the leader, but they will not be able to block the way for a while.
I saw that the left arm of the peach chasing tiger flicked lightly, and the tip of the long lance drew an arc of light in mid-air, and slammed into the neck of the thief knife player in front of him.
In the next moment, one of the thieves who was blocking the way in front of Tao Zhuhu was knocked down by the handle of the lance, and the necks of the two were opened, and blood gushed out, drenching the people around them all over their bodies.
The leader of the thieves panicked, although he was surrounded by his own people, but at this moment there was no one to help him, and only the leader of the thieves and the peach and tiger who wanted to take his life were left between heaven and earth. The heavens and the earth are vast, and all living beings are vast, but no matter what kind of status and identity they have, in the end, they are only alone in the world, and in the next second, even their lives are gone.
The leader of the thieves let out a desperate scream, and although he didn't know what to do, he still drew his waist knife and tried to make a death struggle.
Peach Chase Tiger is not confused, he has seen too much of this situation, for him this is no different from the countless times he has killed the enemy before, his spirit is highly concentrated, the long lance that has just been withdrawn is driven by his left arm to rush forward violently, the long lance wrapped in the horse's momentum and arm strength straight through the chest of the thief leader in front of him,
Tao Zhuhu could see the despair and unwillingness in the eyes of the person who was stabbed, but it had nothing to do with him, and the only thing related to him now was that the leader of the thief array had been killed.
The peach tiger suddenly reined in the horse, and the man with the high horse stood up, and then the front hooves fell heavily, trampling a thief in front of him into the ground. At the same time, the peach tiger arm forced, the long lance and the leader of the thief together with the erection of the leader, the leader of the thief spitting blood clot down the lance slid towards the tiger of the dragon, when he was almost in front of him, the tiger drew the knife with his right hand, and chopped the head of the thief with his backhand.
Then Tao Zhuhu threw away the lance, reached out to catch the human head, held the human head high above his head, and shouted:
"The enemy general has beheaded me, so don't you surrender quickly!"
This roar was like a thunderstorm crashing through the battlefield, and the heroic posture of the peach chasing the tiger and killing the enemy between the lightning and flint just now had already shown the thieves next to him, and then after reacting, his leader's head was carried in his hand again, which no one could believe.
The thieves were suddenly beheaded, their morale plummeted, everyone was in a mess, and they attacked the officers and soldiers indiscriminately, but they did not flee, Lan Ziyi saw this, knew that the thieves were not able to break through this time, and shouted loudly to this peach chasing tiger:
"Don't fight, save the brethren and we'll go."
Hearing this, Tao Zhuhu did not delay, hung his head on his waist, raised his saber and rushed all the way back to the battle.
The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion just now took advantage of the chaos to attack the thief formation, and opened the encirclement of the thieves from behind, and took the soldiers who broke through the siege back.
Lan Ziyi saw the convergence of the armies, raised his sword and pointed at the valley mouth in front of him and said:
"The brethren rushed out with me."
The soldiers of the Jihu Battalion responded together, their morale doubled, and they rushed away with a roar when they heard the words, and finally escaped after killing the chaotic thieves.
