Chapter Ninety-Four: The Massacre of the Yi River
When Lin Luo led his men to the wooden bridge, the group was sweating profusely one by one, and many of them were still slightly injured, but when they stepped on the wooden bridge, they breathed a long sigh of relief, turned their heads to look west, and at this time the officers and soldiers had already appeared in the field of vision.
"Dismount, Feng San and a few brothers hurriedly set fire to this bridge, and the rest of the rest of the war horses, wait with me to block the official army!" Lin Luo turned over and jumped off the war horse, shouting loudly.
Dozens of scouts didn't say a word, they all immediately jumped off the war horses one after another, so that the already tired war horses could rest, and that Feng San immediately ordered a few soldiers, collected some firewood and grass at the bridgehead, piled them at the bridgehead, and sprinkled the gunpowder they carried on the firewood and grass, ready to ignite the fire.
Liu Ruming led his men and horses all the way to hurry, the generals ran with crooked armor, many soldiers in order to speed up the escape, even took off the armor and threw it on the side of the road, running here at this time, they are already tired like a dead dog, where can these soldiers and generals run and exercise every day like the Xingtian Army! After running for more than ten miles, they were out of breath one by one, and they saw that they were about to reach the Yihe Wooden Bridge, but when they looked up, they saw a small group of thieves and horses rushing to arrive here in front of them.
Liu Ruming sighed in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good, he thought that he was fast enough, but he didn't think that he was still preempted by the thief army and rushed to the wooden bridge, at this time, he knew that if he couldn't take the wooden bridge, he would be finished, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come on!" Go up and grab this bridge for me, quick! ”
Hundreds of people who ran in front scolded in their hearts, and hurriedly started to act, and rushed towards the wooden bridge in formation, wanting to grab the wooden bridge, but where would Lin Luo give them this opportunity! When he saw the officers and soldiers coming to pounce on the bridge, he immediately turned over and got on his horse again, took off a riding bow from the saddle, and shouted: "Follow me!" Block them! Feng San, ignition! ”
Dozens of scouts each took off their weapons, turned over their horses together, and chased Lin Luo towards the official army with a roar.
Don't look at Lin Luo, there are only a few dozen of them, but in the face of the officers and soldiers who are more than ten times more than them, they do not show the slightest cowardice, dozens of people urge the war horses together, continue to accelerate, and rush straight towards the officers and soldiers.
At this time, the officers and soldiers were already a little frightened, not far behind them, the brigade of the Heavenly Army was killing, only this bridge could be passed in front of them, allowing them to escape, even if they were afraid, they also took out a little blood bravery, brandished their weapons and rushed towards Lin Luo and them.
Lin Luo was originally born in Orion, and he was a good archery with a hand, and later became a scout, and he was even more diligent in learning the skills of archery on horseback, and opened the bow on horseback, and shot an arrow, when even if there was an officer and soldier in the face of the general in the door, he fell to the crowd screaming, and Lin Luo was unforgiving, a riding bow was opened, and he began to release arrows in a row, and his arrows could be said to bite the flesh with arrows, and he chose the enemy's vital places to start, either shooting at the door or shooting the throat, and the one in the middle fell to the ground without impropriety. That is, five arrows were fired in an instant, knocking over four officers and soldiers, and wounding one.
And the scouts who followed him are not good at stubble, they don't necessarily everyone has a good archery, but they also have a way, some people learn Xiao Tianjian to throw the flying axe, as long as they hit it, they will die, and some people carry a few short spears more than three feet long in the saddle, throw their arms, the head is also quite high, and the lethality is far more than that of ordinary riding bows, the middle one is absolutely not spared, of course, there are also some people who like the flintlock handcuffs newly issued to them, after loading them in advance, they take them out and move them out of the machine, In order to ensure the power of the flintlock handcuffs in the hands of the cavalrymen, the guns are pressed with wrapped scattered bullets, and they are fired away, unless the enemy is covered with heavy armor, otherwise they can be beaten all over the face.
In short, the charge launched by dozens of scouts was definitely not small, and a single officer and soldier was knocked over, and although the officers and soldiers also fired arrows to counterattack, but they were not able to shoot over a few scouts of the Xingtian Army, Lin Luo rushed to the front of the enemy group, put away the riding bow, took off a horse from the saddle, and rushed into the enemy group with a horse sandwiched under his armpit, and stabbed several officers and soldiers one after another, until the tip of the gun was stuck in the ribs of an officer and soldier, and then he lost the horse robbery, and then pulled out the waist knife, The slaughter continued.
As long as the cavalry maintains mobility against the infantry, they will not suffer, not to mention that the officers and soldiers are already six gods and no masters at this time, and their fighting spirit is not high.
I only heard a sudden shout among the officers and soldiers: "The bridge is on fire!" It's on fire! Can't get by! Run, brethren! ”
In his busy schedule, Lin Luo turned his head and peeked at the wooden bridge, only to see that there was already a fire on the wooden bridge at this time, Feng San sprinkled all the collected gunpowder on the wooden bridge, and piled up some firewood and grass, and ignited the gunpowder.
When many officers and soldiers saw the wooden bridge on fire, they immediately lost all confidence, no matter how Liu Ruming scolded them, they could no longer restrain them, these officers and soldiers knew that they could not escape anymore, who would be willing to follow Liu Ruming to die! So he gave Liu Ruming a big scatter at the bridge, and the weapons were thrown all over the ground, and they scattered in all directions.
When Luo Li led his troops to chase to the bank of the Yi River, it was already a mess, some family members could not escape, so they protected their respective generals, desperately took off their clothes, jumped into the river, and followed the generals to swim towards the other side of the river, the generals also took off their armor, you fought for me to jump into the river on horseback, let the war horses carry them across the river, more officers and soldiers met the Xingtian army, they immediately knelt down and surrendered, no one organized them to resist at all.
Pity Liu Ruming's 5,000 officers and soldiers, against Luo Li and Liu Bao, they didn't even survive five days, and the whole army was wiped out on the bank of the Yi River. Even the men and horses were beaten into honeycombs and died in the Yi River.
