Just as the four of them were giggling, under the hill, a team of soldiers and horses appeared in view. There were not many people, only six or seven hundred, but they were all tall and burly, and their armor was distinct. Under the light of the setting sun, the sword is shining, the man is strong and the horse is strong, and the power is extremely powerful.

"What? Could it be that they really want to attack? "Tang Zhou Anji Army Commander Zhou Quanrong said.

"Hahaha, it looks like I won the bet. I'm sorry, a few adults, I will benefit ten taels of silver. Feng Zaian laughed and spread his hands to them.

Li Zhidong, the commander of the Ping army of Ruzhou, said in a deep voice: "Commander Feng, they are about to attack, but you have come to ask for silver." Hurry up and get ready for engagement. ”

Feng Zaian laughed and said: "Forgive you and you won't regret it, whoever repents, I will drench the blood of whoever scolds the dog and publicize this matter." If you engage in battle, you will engage in battle, what are you afraid of? Do you want me to set up another bet, or ten taels of silver, and I bet that they will lose. ”

The other three gave him a big white eye, and this is still a bet? Hundreds of people are going to attack, isn't that death? The fool bet on him.

"Ready! Against! Several people gave orders in a loud voice. Archers, spearmen, sword and shield soldiers, and hook and sickle men quickly moved, each performing their duties, and they were all ready to meet the other party's charge. Mo looks at the poorly equipped box army, compared to the soldiers and horses below, it looks like a flower child, but the combination of troops is very complete. After all, they are officers and soldiers who often fight with the bandits in Funiu Mountain, and compared with the soldiers and horses in other comfortable places, these soldiers and horses in the four states can definitely be called the soldiers with rich combat experience and relatively complete equipment.

Under the hills, Lin Jue and hundreds of other cavalry were ready to go. Time is pressing, and they must break through the blockade of the mountain pass, otherwise they will be dragged here, and when the rear brigade of the forbidden army arrives, it will be a dead end.

Lin Jue rode on a horse, wearing black scale armor on his body, a purple-red cloak and dancing for hunting, and the red tassels on his helmet fluttering in the wind. Originally, Shen Tan and Ma Bin didn't let Lin Jue fight, and they also thought about his safety. But how could Lin Jue be willing to retreat at this time, he shouldn't be such a pustule. It was precisely because of the danger of this charge that he insisted on attacking with the others.

Everyone didn't listen to the persuasion, Sun Dayong had to personally lead more than ten nurses to protect Lin Jue's safety, but on the battlefield, anything can happen, swords and arrows are not long-sighted, and no one can guarantee Lin Jue's absolute safety.

"Ready!" Lin Jue raised the shiny long knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

Everyone unsheathed their knives, tightened the reins of their horses, and got ready. The wind was whistling in the four fields, the battle flag was hunting overhead, and the horses were chatting and digging their hooves restlessly. A mountain eagle circled in the sky, and suddenly, let out a loud and long chirp.

With this eagle call, Lin Jue let out a loud roar: "To live!" Kill! ”

"Kill!" The crowd roared in unison, and the reins of the horses relaxed, urging the horses. The horses neighed and rushed out from below the hills, galloping wildly between the slopes and rugged mountain plains.

The wolf smoke stirred up by the horse's hooves rose and dispersed in the air, and the alarmed hares and pheasants flew wildly between the mountains and fields, and the roar of the horses' hooves echoed between the hills. The distance between the two sides was less than three miles, and although the flat territory was rugged, the cavalry rushed through unhindered. Before tea time, the cavalry had already rushed to the bottom of the slope of the pass.

Immediately the knight whipped his horse and urged his horse to rush up the slope of the hill. The uphill speed of the charge began to slow down, and in front of the van army, thousands of archers were already kneeling on the ground, raising their bows to the sky, ready to shoot. From a commanding position, the archers can shoot arrows from a distance of 150 paces to launch an attack on the charging soldiers. But the number of opponents was not large, and seven hundred men were scattered on the slopes of the land of Kandarish, and the formation was extremely scattered. So if they want to shoot a lot of their opponents, they have to wait for them to get closer. The mountain pass is a narrow terrain at the top and wide at the bottom, and only by relying on the limitations of the terrain that the opponent is forced to gather together, then a large-scale feather arrow shot can play a decisive role.

The cavalry charge was approaching, and the formation was retracting. After a few breaths, the cavalry was eighty paces away from the van formation. The commander of the van soldiers could no longer wait, and he was really going to rush to the front when he waited for the right time. So he waved the order flag in his hand and gave the order to prepare to release the arrows.

Just as the other party began to release arrows, Lin Jue jumped up on the horse's back and landed behind the horse. At the same time, he shouted: "Abandon the horse!" ”

All the knights jumped off their horses, and the weight of the horses suddenly decreased, and the running became easier. At the same time, the horses felt a stinging pain in their buttocks, and each cavalryman stabbed the horses in the ass the moment they jumped down. War horses suffer pain, and the impact is faster.

When the first round of arrows fell, shooting dozens of horses and more than a dozen palace guards, those war horses that had been stabbed in the ass were galloping towards the opponent's front with a grieving sound of grief.

Lin Jue's five-flowered horse was one of them, that horse was the leader, it seemed to understand the intentions of Lin Jue and the others, and the ashes neighed and rushed towards the enemy formation. His master was reluctant to give him a knife, because there was no need, the five-flowered horse knew what the master was going to do, Lin Jue only slapped it on the buttocks, and it rushed forward like a whirlwind.

Lin Jue refused to take a few hundred cavalry to touch the opponent's archers, this kind of senseless death and injury Lin Jue must definitely avoid. So he discussed with everyone a way to charge the battle with war horses and turn the cavalry into an infantry army. When the opponent began to release arrows, they all dismounted and advanced. Stick a knife in the horse's rump and let the frenzied warhorse be the first to absorb damage and impact the enemy's formation. Doing so will cost almost all of the horses, but it will definitely be effective in keeping the men alive and allowing the impact of the horses to tear through the opponent's defenses.

The box archers fired a total of three rounds of arrows, and more than two hundred horses were killed. After that, more than 400 war horses rushed into the formation frantically. The soldiers had to deal with the situation before them, and the archers had to retreat quickly to avoid being trampled by the iron hooves of the crazy horses. When the other party was busy killing those war horses that were running and biting, Lin Jue and the others had successfully rushed to twenty steps away. At this distance, the archers have largely lost their effectiveness. The other party's reaction was also quite fast, and under the loud reprimand and adjustment of several commanders, the soldiers holding hand-to-hand combat swords, shields, guns and swords pushed forward, ready to face the battle.

It's like a boulder thrown into the water, hitting a huge wave. It was like a sharp knife cutting into the delicate flesh. More than 600 people led by Lin Jue rushed into the opponent's formation with a fierce and fierce aura. The most brutal hand-to-hand combat began.

More than 600 people against 20,000 people, no matter who they are, when they see such a scene, they will think that Lin Jue is crazy. With more than 600 people, he took the initiative to attack the 20,000 soldiers, unless these 600 people were all possessed by immortals, all of them had three heads and six arms. Or if they are equipped with a king box and have enough ammunition, they may have the possibility of winning.

When Lin Jue gave the order to attack, it could not be said that everyone did not question it. But they chose to believe Lin Jue and chose this seemingly stupid act of sending them to death. On the one hand, the situation forced them to make such a choice, if they did not attack, they would have to wait for death. On the other hand, they believed in Lin Jue, and they believed that Lin Jue would not let his people go to death, and he must have made other considerations.

But this time, they misunderstood. Lin Jue had no choice but to attack. Although I have made some tactical arrangements, I don't know if it will work. And the crazy move of 600 people attacking 20,000 people was completely based on the forced situation and the absolute trust in the combat effectiveness of these 600 people.

Lin Jue has actually always had a sarcastic attitude towards this kind of hand-to-hand combat between the two sides in the era of cold weapons. In his opinion, it is a very stupid act for both sides to fight hand-to-hand with swords on the battlefield. In Lin Jue's view, hand-to-hand combat is the last choice, and it is the most helpless choice after various strategies and methods fail. If there was any way to defeat the enemy, Lin Jue would never choose such a stupid method of fighting.

However, Lin Jue also had to admit something. In the era of cold weapons, the benchmark to measure whether the soldiers and horses have always been elite is his hand-to-hand combat ability. Whether the brave can win when facing each other head-to-head, whether they can kill their opponents on the battlefield of flesh and blood, but they can survive, this is the ultimate pursuit of the elite soldiers of this era. What is the so-called power of bravery? It relies on the spirit of this death squad that is not afraid of death, and it relies on the courage of the bayonet. If we rely entirely on external forces such as strategic equipment and firearms, it seems to be suspected of abandoning the basics.

This is also the reason why Lin Jue has not equipped firearms with the people around him, of course, the high price is also one of the reasons. But as Bai Bing has always said, using the power of weapons and equipment will affect the cultivation of personal martial arts. Lin Jue agreed with her, and these words also applied to the soldiers and horses. Relying entirely on weaponry will relax their training on their martial arts and body. That's not really good.

For example, today's situation, firearms and ammunition are insufficient, and crossbows. When the bow and arrow are exhausted, and they can't occupy the advantageous position, and they can't make any wise arrangements, the last thing they can rely on is their own martial arts combat effectiveness. If there is no such thing as a final guarantee, this battle should not even be fought, and it is better to surrender immediately.

It was based on the trust in the combat effectiveness of these six hundred people that Lin Jue made the decision to give it a go. These more than 600 people are all from the palace guards, and there are thousands of palace guards, all of whom are carefully selected people, and after a screening in the middle, only more than 1,000 people are left as the palace guards and the Lin family's guardians. It can be said that these people are all the elite of the elite. The palace guards are not old soldiers. They are the tiger and wolf soldiers trained by Shen Tan, and their origins are all selected from the strong muscles and bones of the children of the rivers and lakes. Shen Tan's methods of training them were also extremely harsh, so this was definitely not a team that could be underestimated all the time. This was also proven by the previous battles. If it were the other rabble, after these battles in the capital and on the way out, I am afraid that they would have dispersed like birds and beasts, but they did not.

What Lin Jue values is the strength of them to dare to die, which is also the last reliance on which this battle can be launched. Charging in the face of an enemy more than ten times larger than oneself requires the kind of indifference that regards life and death as nothing, and the courage of a lion to face a large flock of sheep.
