Chapter 101: Annihilation

The ten knights saw five black things flying in front of them, but they didn't know what they were, and immediately wanted to dodge.

However, the heavy axe came to them quickly, and before they could disperse, four knights seemed to hit a transparent wall, and at first froze, and then dismounted.

One of the axes missed its target, slashing deep into the trunk of a nearby tree.

However, the remaining knights still stubbornly rushed over, and they were less than ten paces away.

Zhang Yunwen pulled out his horizontal knife, stood with the eight reconnaissance battalion soldiers beside him, and shouted: "Kill-"

Infantry against cavalry, if you want to win, you can only rely on some external conditions such as formation, fortifications, and geographical advantages. Therefore, when facing the six knights roaring over, Zhang Yunwen immediately drew his horizontal knife and formed a formation with the soldiers between several big trees to face the cavalry impact.

The oncoming knights were black scimitars in their hands, and their bodies were leaning out to the side in a slashing motion.

The scimitar is three feet long, while the horizontal knife is five feet long. Zhang Yunwen saw this advantage, so he gave up using the steel crossbow and confronted these six knights.

The horizontal knife had already slashed into the knight's body before the scimitar could be slashed.

With a snort, the sharp blade cut through the iron-clad leather armor and cut a deep cut in the belly of a knight.

The knight didn't realize it, but the pitch-black scimitar still slashed down.

Zhang Yunwen rolled on the spot, dodging the attack of the scimitar. Looking at the situation on the battlefield again, the six knights were more or less wounded, and one of the reconnaissance battalion soldiers had a deep cut in his shoulder, and blood flowed straight out. The rest is all hung up. Yang Shi's body was thin and small, so it was easier to dodge, and he didn't suffer any injuries.

Without thinking about it, he took out his dagger and threw it at the crook of the leg of a knight's crotch.

I saw a long neighing of the war horse, and it was carried to the ground at once.

Zhang Yunwen took out the military thorn, and the general stabbed at a knight with his back to him.

The thorns pierced into the body, and blood flowed out of the blood tank like a spring. Zhang Yunwen didn't care about the man anymore, he was already dead.

Facing the remaining four knights and one foot soldier, Zhang Yunwen tightened his sword and roared: "Kill-"

When the remaining scout battalion soldiers shot daggers and military spurs into the bodies of these men, and then cut off their heads with horizontal knives, everyone looked at each other and smiled. A sense of relief came over me.

In this battle, two of the ten people led by Zhang Yunwen were seriously injured, and the rest were also slightly injured to varying degrees.

But now they had no horses, so they had to walk back.

Tearing off a few plackets, hastily bandaging the soldiers, they helped each other and headed south.

In the process of walking south, they encountered one or two more scouts, but Zhang Yunwen and others used steel crossbows and grenades to solve them all.

It took nearly an hour for everyone to finally return to where they had started.

At this time, Zhang Yunwen found that his team was the worst, not only did he lose his horse, but even there were a few wounded.

As soon as they met, Liu Cheng gloated at Zhang Yunwen and smiled: "Boss, why are you so miserable?" As soon as his voice fell, the other dozens of people also looked at Zhang Yunwen with a smile.

Zhang Yunwen said angrily: "It's also your leader and me, if you meet Yan Yun's eighteen horses and those ice cubes that kill people without blinking, I'm afraid you will die even worse!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Cheng and the others suddenly fell silent.

Yanyun eighteen rides. Hearing this word, Liu Cheng and the others looked at Zhang Yunwen and their eyes were suddenly full of respect.

"Tsk, it is worthy of being our leader, when you encounter the legendary Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen, you can still retreat without dying, it is really powerful!"

"Well, chief, didn't you flee as soon as you saw that Yanyun Eighteen Horsemen!"

As soon as the voice of a soldier who was not long-eyed fell, Yang Shi couldn't help but say: "What is the wind and running away, we have completely annihilated Yanyun's eighteen horsemen!" ”

As soon as these words fell, Liu Cheng and the others were suddenly stunned: "What, you all wiped out Yanyun's eighteen horsemen?" ”

Yang Shi and the other soldiers immediately nodded proudly.

Zhang Yunwen coughed lightly twice, and said to the group of soldiers: "Okay, don't talk about this, let's send the injured soldiers and intelligence back to Chang'an first!" ”

So, several uninjured soldiers sent the injured soldiers back to Chang'an together with the information they had collected, and Zhang Yunwen watched the group of distant backs slowly go south.

After a few people left, Zhang Yunwen and the others rested on the spot.

During this time, Zhang Yunwen asked: "By the way, how is your situation?" ”

Liu Cheng replied first: "We caught a few tongues and asked, there are 8,000 troops in Jingzhou City, and several leading generals are controlled by Luo Yi, and now Luo Yi is recruiting troops everywhere and raising grain and grass, while leading the army south, preparing to attack Fengzhou." ”

Zhang Yunwen suddenly groaned, and after a while, he said: "The emperor ordered me to wait to prevent Luo Yi from escaping, so I am ready to ride to Jingzhou lightly, and there is no way back!" I don't know which of you would like to go with me! ”

As soon as his voice fell, he saw that the remaining reconnaissance battalion soldiers jumped in front of Zhang Yunwen one after another, saying that they were going to Jingzhou with Zhang Yunwen.

Zhang Yunwen said: "I only brought twenty people, and you still have to help General Wei Chi and them break the enemy camp!" ”

The rest of the people asked suspiciously: "There are only more than 20 of us, how can we help General Wei Chi break the formation!" ”

Zhang Yunwen immediately raised his hand and knocked on the head of the soldier who asked the question: "Stupid, what are your grenades for!" If they form a formation, you can throw grenades into their formation, and you are guaranteed to break their formation in one fell swoop! ”

The remaining twenty or so people let out an "oh" and said no more.

Seeing that he had almost rested, Zhang Yunwen said to Liu Cheng: "Liu Cheng, you are here to take your brothers to greet the eldest grandson Shangshu and General Wei Chi!" I'll go to Jingzhou first, and try to hold Luo Yi's family together! ”

After saying that, he rode horses with twenty people and galloped all the way north.

After galloping north for nearly an hour, he suddenly saw the smoke and dust in front of him, and immediately knew that a large army was coming, and immediately hid in the woods by the roadside. Sure enough, after about a stick of incense, I saw a torrent coming along the road.

The first was a cavalry of nearly 1,000 men, brightly armoured and armed with various spears, slowly coming south. After the cavalry, nearly 4,000 foot soldiers marched briskly. The foot soldiers were much more disheveled, and they were only wearing leather armor.

After the team passed, Zhang Yunwen said to Wu Peng next to him: "Look at the way the team marched just now, the cavalry is not bad, it may be Luo Yi's personal soldiers." And those foot soldiers are messy and undisciplined, it seems that this Luo Yi has not won the hearts of the army! ”

Wu Peng nodded approvingly.

The reconnaissance battalion traveled north for nearly half an hour, and finally saw the tall city walls of Jingzhou City.
