Chapter 241: Nine Deaths and One Life
In the thunderous sound of horses' hooves, Mao Wenlong did not hear Song Hou's generous words clearly, he only vaguely heard someone shouting, but he didn't know what he was shouting?
Watching Mao Wenlong gradually move away, Song Hou raised the saber in his hand and exchanged glances with the other four brothers, and the five of them laughed at the same time.
In the hearty laughter, the five people clamped their legs to the horse's belly at the same time, and shouted in unison: "Kill!" ”
The five horses let out a mournful roar, and then their bodies sprinted out like arrows. The five of them faced the pursuing enemy troops and killed them directly.
Seeing that only five people stayed to stop them, the pursuing officers and soldiers obviously didn't care. The leading generals directly divided twenty horsemen to meet the battle, and the rest directly bypassed and continued to pursue Mao Wenlong.
However, as soon as the official army made adjustments, the five Song Hou people on that side also immediately turned their horses' heads and still intercepted the officers and soldiers who wanted to bypass them.
"Look for death!"
The officers and generals immediately shouted angrily, and no longer had any evasion, but urged the horses forward again.
Thinking about it, he was too lazy to waste time on Song Hou's five people, let alone only five people, it was definitely a charge that could wipe them all out.
"Kill!"
The leader roared as he rode his horse and waved the broadsword in his hand.
In a short distance of less than 200 meters, almost in the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers were full of 400 horses, and they were menacing.
On Song Hou's side, there are only five horses, and in terms of momentum alone, there is no comparison between the two sides at all.
Battles between the two armies are often won by the brave, but this time it was a surprise to everyone.
I saw that the Empress Song was in the lead, and the rest followed, and the five people formed a formation, lined up in a triangular formation, and on Song Hou's opening road, they directly inserted into the cavalry formation of the official army.
Song Hou was very smart, he did not face the enemy generals head-on, but avoided the enemy generals and attacked from the side.
In the galloping of fast horses, the cavalry battles were often instantaneous, and Song Housusu, who had only five people, was drowned in the cavalry position of the four hundred enemy troops.
After the enemy's cavalry passed, I saw that on the position where we had just clashed, dozens of horses and the corpses of soldiers appeared at this moment.
No one was still standing, and the entire position was covered with horseshoe prints and corpses that had been trampled to the point of being inhuman.
And Song Hou's five people seemed to have disappeared into the air, and they didn't see the five of them.
After a long time, I saw movement under the corpse of a war horse on the battlefield, a pair of hands covered with blood suddenly stretched out, and then a muddy body.
The man struggled to his feet, then began to look around blankly, shouting hoarsely.
"Lu Ning ......"
"Qi Han ......"
"Tian An ......"
"Gu Dong ......"
Siye was silent, only his hoarse shouts echoed, but there was no response.
He was Song Hou who had entered the enemy's own position, and obviously, he was lucky to survive this time.
But there was no joy on his face, on the contrary, there was only anxiety and uneasiness!
Song Hou didn't believe that the other four would all die like this, and he began to rummage through the corpses .......
"Big Brother ......"
Suddenly, a faint shout came from Song Hou's side.
Song Hou was slightly stunned for a moment, and then shouted in surprise: "Isn't it Lu Ning, you're still alive, right?" ”
"Big brother, it's me Tian An." This time, the voice came very clearly from under the corpse of the horse on Song Hou's left.
Song Hou's face was overjoyed, and he ran up directly and pulled away the dead horse corpse, only to see a man stuck in the mud, only his mouth and eyes were exposed.
With Song Hou's help, Tian An finally left the mud pit, and he smirked: "Big brother, what about the others?" ”
Song Hou immediately gloomy, and said with a wry smile: "I haven't found you until now!" ”
Tian An's face tightened, he struggled to stand up, and after trying several times but found that he couldn't stand up. His left leg seemed to be broken, and there was a pain in it.
Song Hou stepped forward and cut his trouser leg with a knife, and found that Tian An's left leg calf was swollen with a big bag, and there was a large bruise.
"Don't move around and rest here, it's likely that your calf bone has been broken." Song Hou made a conclusion after reading it carefully.
Tian An was not honest, he said urgently: "Big brother, leave me alone, go find someone else." ”
Song Hou nodded: "I'll go and find it, you stay here honestly." ”
After speaking, Song Hou turned around and left. Tian An took advantage of Song Hou's departure, he tried hard a few more times, grinning his teeth in pain, but he was never able to stand up.
At this time, Song Hou's surprised voice came from afar: "Gu Dong, it's good that your kid is not dead yet." ”
Half an hour later, Song Hou found the others one by one. Lu Ning had fainted to death just now, but he was just as fine as Song Hou. However, the other three Tian An and Qi Ning all broke their leg bones, and Qi Han's left hand drooped weakly, obviously it should also be a broken hand bone.
Song Hou and Lu Ning found a saber for Tian An and Qi Ning, temporarily used as their crutches, and then the other three were supported by the other three to leave the messy battlefield together.
Lu Ning asked Song Hou worriedly: "Big brother, there are too many cavalrymen, and our blocking just now has hardly played a big role." Although we risked our lives to kill nearly 50 enemy cavalry, will the general soldiers be able to safely join General Chen and them in the back? ”
Song Hou was not worried at all, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, we can destroy ten times our enemy army, not to mention the extremely brave Dongjiang army." ”
Hearing Song Hou say this, the others suddenly felt reasonable, the bravery of the guards around Mao Wenlong, the five people in front of them were convinced.
Mao Wenlong has their escort, and those officers and soldiers who catch up should not be opponents. No matter how bad it is, it is still very easy to escort Mao Wenlong to escape safely.
At this moment, all five of them are injured, and they can't continue to fight, and they can't stay here for a long time, so they have to find a place to hide.
Mao Wenlong, who was still on the run, didn't know what was happening behind him, and the guards who escorted him all knew that Song Hou and the five people went to break off, so as to buy time for Mao Wenlong's escape.
However, the pursuers behind barely stopped and caught up again, and all the guards knew in their hearts that Song Hou and the five were probably more than lucky.
"General soldier, there is a situation ahead."
Suddenly, the guards running in front shouted.
Mao Wenlong raised his eyes when he heard this, and sure enough, there was smoke and dust rising in the distance ahead, and it was obvious that a large army was marching.
At this time, except for Chen Jisheng, who was hurrying behind, Mao Wenlong really couldn't think of anyone who would move forward so flamboyantly.
"It's Chen Jisheng and them, go and join them." Mao Wenlong immediately ordered.
