Chapter 200 escaped
Several arrows were knocked off by his whip. Thankfully, the mount was powerful, and his black oil did not remove the inlaid armor. In the face of arrow attacks, one's own defense is not a big problem.
Taking advantage of this respite, he found that the windows of the houses and shops along the street had been opened, and a large number of crossbowmen and archers were hidden inside, and white feather arrows were shooting at the horse team like a storm.
The iron armor of Hu Yanzhuo's heavy cavalry was left in the rear, most of them only wore light and soft leather armor, and they were armed with long lances suitable for shock combat, and there was no room and ability to defend in this narrow street.
A small number of soldiers who reacted quickly threw the long weapons in their hands to the ground, drew their bows and arrows hanging on their horses, and quickly shot arrows at the window.
When Hu Yanzhuo's chain of horses encountered the enemy, they used guns at close range, and shot arrows at afar, so they were all good at shooting and attacking, so they could quickly launch a wave of counterattacks.
Liangshan's minions standing behind the window were caught off guard, and some people were hit by arrows one after another, but after all, they had a geographical advantage, attacking the light with darkness and attacking from both sides, so the counterattack of the officers and troops was like a wave in the rolling Yangtze River, which was fleeting and difficult to change the tide.
"Puff puff!" The sharp arrows shot by Liang Shanjun effortlessly burrowed into the flesh of the officers and horses and the horses, and suddenly the people turned over on their backs, the people neighed and the streets became a mess.
The quality of the strong bow and hard crossbow found in the armor battle Curry is really good, although some minions have a little rusty archery skills, but at a distance of less than three zhang, there is almost no need to aim, and you can shoot at the target in one go.
At such a close distance, a sudden attack, three hundred crossbows against a thousand cavalry, is undoubtedly a one-sided slaughter.
Hu Yanzhuo knew very well in his heart that only by leaving this Shura field as soon as possible could the knights under his command have a chance to live. It's not too far from the city gate that you just entered, and you can find a way to survive by taking the city gate with a charge.
While brandishing an iron whip, he shouted: "The back team becomes the front team!" Go back the way you came! Withdraw outside the city! ”
The officers and soldiers turned their horses' heads one after another, bowed down on their horses, and desperately drew the whips in their hands and ran towards the north gate.
When he got closer, he found that the city gate had been closed, but fortunately there were no enemy troops guarding the city gate.
"Win the door!" Peng Qi rushed forward with the two knights who had taken the lead, trying to open the latch, when suddenly two heavy coffins fell from the city gate and smashed them off their horses. The coffin became a sassalo, crossed up and down, and crossed the city gate, and blocked the city gate tightly.
The two soldiers fell off their horses, spitting blood and unconscious. The two horses under the seat must have broken their spines, and they were limping on their hind legs, fluttering their front hooves, and screaming and unable to get up.
Li Kui saw that no one could be killed on the city wall, so he led people to rush down. Peng Qi saw that it was not good, and hurriedly retreated.
Hu Yanzhuo looked up and saw that the fat man named Tian Zuo was directing the soldiers at the city gate to throw stones and ash bottles down, and many soldiers around him had been injured by fist-sized stones, and they couldn't help but be angry and blood gushing to their heads.
He turned his head and saw that Mao Du was holding the horse's neck with both hands, lying on the horse's back, his face was pale with fright, and he didn't get angry, and gritted his teeth and said: "Mao Du!" I have no grievances with you, why do you trap me again and again?!
If it weren't for your unequivocal assurance that there was no problem with that Tian Zuo, how could I have easily fallen for the tricks of the thieves?! ”
Mao Du said repeatedly: "Wronged! How did I know that this dog's day actually descended Liangshan Bandit?! Fuck it! What the hell is going on?! Why is the good official not right, go to the thief who killed on the same day! ”
He babbled and cursed, but Hu Yanzhuo didn't have the patience to listen to him. I can't get out of the north gate in front of me! For today's plan, we can only put it to death and come back to life, rush to the city, and see if we can kill a bloody road!
According to the previous news and the judgment of the scene, the number of Liangshan bandits is not too much, if they gather heavy troops near the north gate, then the defense of the other gates will inevitably be weak, and the chances of winning are still quite good if they break through the other gates.
Hu Yanzhuo is still a very competent commander, in the complicated situation, he is still calm, rational thinking and analysis, constantly adjusting the route of the outstanding encirclement, and there is no self-confusion.
"Turn around and rush to the east gate!" Hu Yanzhuo shouted, patted his horse and turned around, and took the lead towards the west gate.
The officers and soldiers learned to be obedient, and walked all the way through the deep alleys and alleys, avoiding the main street avenue that was full of ambushes just now.
Guess right, the strength of the Liangshan army is limited, and it has not laid an impenetrable ambush net, although there are also sporadic cold arrows on the road, but compared to the stormy attack just now, it is simply much better!
Even the leaders of the Liangshan Horse Army, Luan Tingyu and Yang Zhi, were also unfamiliar with Qingzhou and could not find any trace of Huyanzhuo.
Hu Yanzhuo wore a black oil armor and danced a steel whip in his hand, opening the way in front of the team. Seeing that he was only a stone's throw away from the West Gate, he looked around and found that there were only a few hundred horsemen left in his entourage, and they were all wounded.
He himself was like a hedgehog, his body was crooked and covered with arrows, but he was protected by armor and did not hurt his flesh. Fortunately, the horse under him was also covered with leather armor and was hit by several arrows, but was not seriously injured.
Seeing this tragic situation, he couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that he would be defeated today, and now he can only kill Qingzhou, move to Han Tao's camp to rescue soldiers, repel the besieging thieves, and then take revenge.
He didn't know at this time that Han Tao's rear camp was also chased and killed by Chao Gai and his people all the way, and there were seven stops out of ten.
In desperation, Hu Yanzhuo drove the horses and galloped towards the west gate, where the gate was open. Suddenly, the body of the black horse kicking snow under the seat was stagnant, the front hooves were raised, and the sky was neighing.
Hu Yanzhuo secretly complained, "It's not good! Seems to have hit a tripwire! He tensed up, ready to be dismounted, intending to get up in the shortest possible time to deal with the surprise attack from the left and right.
What he didn't expect was that this black horse was a divine artifact, not only resistant to hunger and thirst, but also born with divine power, and under a collision, it actually pulled out more than a dozen minions who were dragging the tripping horse from the corner of the wall.
One by one, the minions fell into a mess and rolled on the side of the street, some holding their heads, some holding their hands, and their mouths were full of mourning.
Hu Yanzhuo snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "The mantis arm is a car, and I can't do it!" Insidious villain, asking for your own hardship! ”
He was in a hurry to get out of the city, ignoring the minions, and continued to rush forward.
"Oh! The ground hissed, and the man stood up, and his front hooves stomped heavily on the ground, and the iron palm struck the bluestone slab with sparks.
Mao Du followed behind Hu Yanzhuo, and also escaped with his life, and said overjoyed: "There is a collapsed city wall near this West Gate, and the villain was in charge at that time, but it was covered with trees and mud, and I can get out from here!"
Unexpectedly, Maodu's dirty cutting corners at that time saved the lives of this group of officers and soldiers!
Hu Yanzhuo sighed and made people, and beckoned Peng Qi to lead the troops to follow.
Xiao Jiasui knew that Hu Yanzhuo was brave, and he was not greedy for merit because he had many soldiers and horses, so he killed the besieging officers and soldiers in the city and surrendered.
