Chapter 246 The Commander of the Jiaozhi Army is captured
Li De'an's calculation is very good, first let those horses injured Jiaozhi cavalry soldiers to block the vanguard cavalry that pursues them, and then the rest of the Jiaozhi cavalry flee separately, if the Western Army pursues separately, it will cause the dispersion of troops, for the pursued Jiaozhi cavalry, this pressure will naturally be relatively smaller, which may increase the chances of some of their Jiaozhi cavalry escaping.

But Li De'an obviously underestimated the strength of the vanguard army until now! Even if the number of the vanguard army is less than that of the cavalry of the Cochin, the cavalry of the vanguard army will be able to defeat those cavalry of the Cochin army! What's more, in this situation, even if the vanguard army is divided, its number is far more than the scattered cavalry of the Jiaozhi army, and this division of the pursuit naturally does not have the slightest trouble for the cavalry soldiers of the vanguard army, and the battle of this pursuit is still one-sided and overwhelming.
When Yang Wenguang saw Li De'an fleeing eastward, he naturally understood his intention, he must have wanted to enter the 100,000 mountains, with the help of complex terrain and dense forests, in order to escape the pursuit of the vanguard army.
Yang Wenguang naturally couldn't let Li De'an's plan succeed easily. At that moment, Yang Wenguang took nearly 600 cavalry soldiers from the two battalions of the Baojing Army and the Pingxi Army and began to accelerate the pursuit of the more than 100 cavalry of the Jiaozhi Army led by Li De'an.
The vanguard horse's footsteps were much faster than those of the horsemen of the Cochin army, so the distance between the two groups of cavalry was rapidly narrowing, and it was not long before they were within the distance of the bow and arrow. At this time, the bows and arrows in the hands of the vanguard soldiers naturally have not been idle, and they must be constantly shooting at the live targets in front of them.
With the shooting of the vanguard cavalry bow, the cavalry of the Jiaozhi Army under Li De'an fell down and dismounted one by one! In this high-speed galloping situation, the cavalry fell off the war horse, basically either fell to death, or was trampled to death by the war horse behind, and there was no way to survive at all.
Seeing that the cavalry of the Jiaozhi Army around him was decreasing one by one, Li De'an gradually became a little desperate, in this case, I am afraid that he felt that he had no chance to run into the 100,000 mountains.
This feeling of being shot to death in the pursuit is really too depressing! Even if the Song army rushed over and had a hand-to-hand encounter with their Jiaozhi cavalry, it would be good to have a good fight! In that case, even if you die, maybe you can pull a few cushions on your back, and you will die a happy death.
But this group of hateful Song troops did not give them the opportunity to attack the cavalry of the Jiaozhi Army at all, and they could catch up with them with an acceleration, but these Song troops just didn't catch up with them and fought them in short combat, but just kept shooting with bows and arrows~ah~shooting~, which made Li De'an and his men crazy.
Li De'an and his subordinates were helpless against the Song cavalry who kept shooting arrows from behind, but they couldn't fight at all. They had also shot it just now, but the feather arrows shot by the soft bows in their hands had no effective effect on those well-armored Song cavalry and those Song army-armored war horses wearing leather armor.
Li Dean saw that they were running like this, and all of them were only shot into hedgehogs, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.
…………
At this moment, Li De'an suddenly found that he was finally approaching the mountain in front of him, because he saw a dense forest. As long as he escapes into the forest, he still has a chance of survival, otherwise, he will be pursued by the vanguard cavalry in this wilderness, and there is absolutely no chance of survival.
Their country of Jiaozhi is full of mountains and swamps, and their people have long been accustomed to fighting in the dense forest, and their ability in the dense forest will be greatly bonus. Of course, Li De'an knew that with the only dozens of cavalry soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army under his command now, even if he got into the forest, he would not be able to fight with so many cavalry soldiers. However, if they burrow into the forest, they will be like dragons returning to the sea, and the possibility of escape will increase a lot.
However, now that the vanguard cavalry behind him is chasing closely, Li De'an feels that they want to get into the dense forest, and he is afraid that those vanguard cavalry will not give them an easy chance.
At that moment, Li De'an gritted his teeth and ordered all the cavalry soldiers under his command to stop, turn around and rush towards those vanguard cavalry, to block the pursuit of those vanguard cavalry. And Li De'an himself took his two personal guards and ran desperately towards the mountains and forests.
Those cavalry soldiers of the Jiaozhi Army who were ordered by Li De'an to stay behind to block the cavalry of the vanguard army were unwilling to be sent to death. But they knew that if they didn't obey their prince's orders, even if they could get away with him going back, they would definitely not escape death, and their families would be affected. The means of their prince, the cavalry of the Jiaozhi army are very clear.
And if they are here to resist those pursuers for their prince for a while, so that their prince can really escape, their family members may be treated well.
Therefore, these Cochin cavalry have no choice! Obeying the orders of your own prince is also death, and not obeying the orders of your own prince is also death. But not obeying the orders of their own prince will affect their own families, so these cochin cavalry have no other choice but to obey the orders of their own prince.
The Jiaozhi cavalry left by Li De'an all turned their horses' heads very tragically at this time and rushed towards the vanguard cavalry of the brigade chasing from behind.
They are already very close to the vanguard cavalry this time, and they should have a chance to fight with the vanguard cavalry in a short fight. At that moment, they all used their riding shields to protect their faces and chests, and desperately rushed towards those vanguard cavalry, striving to rush to the vanguard formation, killing and wounding a few more enemies, and also buying a little more time for their prince to escape.
…………
Seeing those cross-toe cavalry rushing desperately, the vanguard naturally did not have the slightest politeness, and the cavalry bow in his hand greeted first.
After a round of feathered arrows, many of the cochin cavalry and their horses were already full of feathered arrows.
But those cochin cavalry obviously came with the determination to die, and as long as they did not fall off their horses, they continued to rush towards the cavalry formation of the vanguard army.
At such a close distance, it was obvious that the time to shoot the second round of feathered arrows was a little short, and the cavalry warriors of the vanguard army were not grinding at this time, they all hung their bows directly on the side of their horses, and then took off the spears or horse lances hanging on the victory hook on the other side of the war horse, and began to beat the horses to accelerate, and rushed away with the cavalry of the Cochin Army, ready to strangle them with the spears and horse lances in their hands.
However, not all the vanguard cavalry paid attention to the Jiaozhi cavalry rushing in front of them, at least Xu Wu's eyes did not look at the Jiaozhi cavalry who rushed over without hesitation, but stared closely at Li De'an, who was trying to escape into the mountains and forests in vain.
Although Li De'an took off the golden armor and golden helmet symbolizing the identity of the prince when he fled at the beginning, and put on an ordinary iron armor of the Jiaozhi Army, Xu Wu, who was impressed by his face, still found him accurately and locked him all the time. The reason why Yang Wenguang took the largest part of the vanguard army just now and chased the direction of Li De'an's escape to the east was also the credit of Xu Wu's guidance.
Xu Wu was originally in Di Qing's marshal's personal army, mainly to protect the safety of the marshal, and generally did not rush to kill. But because he was insulted by Li De'an last time he went to the Jiaozhi Army, it was because of this decisive battle with the Jiaozhi Army, Xu Wu specially applied to join the cavalry of the Vanguard Army, wanting to kill a few more Jiaozhi monkeys and let out the evil breath in his heart.
Di Qing also loves these personal soldiers under his command, he knows that Xu Wu went to the Jiaozhi army to give an ultimatum, and he also risked his life to go, and he did suffer a lot of humiliation in the Jiaozhi military camp, I am afraid that there is a lot of resentment against the Jiaozhi people, so Di Qing happily agreed to Xu Wu's request to rush to kill for a while and kill a few more Jiaozhi monkeys.
Di Qing's pro-army are all fierce and experienced soldiers, and Yang Wenguang naturally has no opinion on Xu Wu's request to fight with the vanguard army.
At this time, Xu Wu did not follow the vanguard army led by Yang Wenguang to strangle the dozens of Jiaozhi cavalry, but beat his horse to bypass them from one side and went straight to chase Li De'an.
Yang Huaiyu saw Xu Wu's stomach chasing the three Jiaozhi people who broke away from the cavalry team of the Jiaozhi Army, and knew that he was afraid that there must be a commander of the Jiaozhi people among those three people, otherwise Xu Wu would not be able to leave the team to catch up.
Yes, Yang Huaiyu hurriedly shouted at Yang Meng, Yang Yong and them to capture the coach of the Jiaozhi people, not that Yang Huaiyu was too greedy for merit, but mainly because they were afraid that Xu Wu would chase the three Jiaozhi cavalry by himself and encounter danger. After all, it was Di Shuai who personally arranged this guy to the vanguard army, if he folded here, I am afraid that Yang Wenguang would be a little difficult to explain to Di Shuai.
Of course, Yang Huaiyu also has a little intention to share the credit. After all, such a great credit for capturing the commander of the Jiaozhi Army, one person can enjoy it exclusively, and share the profit with several people, and the final reward is probably about the same. Yang Huaiyu felt that since this was the case, it would not hurt for them to share some of the credit.
…………
The Cochin cavalry screamed and rushed into the vanguard cavalry, weapons clashing, blood bursting, and howling sounds.
When the cavalry of the vanguard army swept past the cavalry of the Jiaozhi army, the only horses left of the Jiaozhi army were standing, and the cavalry on the horse, just a hedge, had been cut off by the cavalry of the vanguard army.
When most of the cavalry of the vanguard army killed the cavalry of the Jiaozhi army that was holding them back, they wanted to pursue the three Jiaozhi cavalry who fled, and saw that the three Jiaozhi cavalry were about to flee into the mountains and forests. Although the cavalry of the Cochin Army only delayed most of the vanguard army for a short time, the three cavalry of the Cochin Army were about to flee into the mountains and forests, and they were afraid that they would have entered the mountains and forests by the time most of the vanguard army chased them.
Originally, the escape of the three Jiaozhi cavalry was a harmless thing for the vanguard army. However, in order to cover the escape of these three Cochin cavalry, these dozens of Cochin cavalry used their lives to buy them time to escape. But if they want to pursue, they are afraid that they are ready to go to the mountains and forests to track the mountains, because the three cross-chin cavalry are about to flee into the mountains and forests.
However, when the soldiers of the vanguard army saw Xu Wu and Yang Huaiyu, the four of them were about to catch up with the three Jiaozhi army cavalry, and they couldn't help but stop their horses. It would be enough to have the four of them with strong forces to chase the three cochin cavalrymen. These four guys are all battle-hardened soldiers, and they should be enough to deal with the three Cochin cavalry.
At the same time, when the vanguard soldiers saw Xu Wu chasing the three Jiaozhi cavalry, they also confirmed their own guesses: I am afraid that among the three escaped Jiaozhi cavalry, there must be Li De'an, the commander of the Jiaozhi Army and the king of Luocheng in Jiaozhi State, otherwise Xu Wu would not have desperately bitten them to death.
…………
Li De'an was desperately beating his horse and galloping, getting closer and closer to the mountain forest...... It's getting closer......
As soon as he entered the mountain forest, he was considered a dragon into the sea and a tiger on the mountain, although it was still very difficult to ask the vanguard army to chase and kill, but it was easier than in this unsheltered wilderness.
A terrible sound of feather arrows breaking through the air sounded, and with the sound of feather arrows, Li Rong, the personal guard on Li De'an's left, was shot off his horse.
"Boom" There was another terrible sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, and Li Fang, the personal guard on his right, was also shot off his horse.
That arrow was different from the feather arrows shot by the cavalry bow of the vanguard army in front, these two feathered arrows were obviously shot with a hard bow with more than one stone and five buckets, otherwise there would definitely not be such a huge power.
Li De'an can't care about so much now, he only has one thought in front of him now, that is, no matter what, he must escape into the mountains and forests in front of him first.
"Huh" sounded again with a terrible sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, Li De'an didn't dare to look back, and hurriedly lowered his body to dodge this fatal feather arrow.
The feather arrow that shot out vigorously hit Li De'an's helmet with a "duke", lifting his helmet away, and Li De'an's hair was suddenly scattered and scattered.
Li De'an suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't shoot. There were only a dozen steps away from the mountain forest, and Li De'an couldn't help but continue to fight his horse desperately, in order to rush through the last dozen steps.
But obviously, Xu Wu and they will not let Li Dean succeed.
The feather arrow just now was shot by Yang Meng. Yang Meng's strength is very large, and the bow and arrow he carries is different from the ordinary eight-bucket riding bow of the Western Army, and the kind of riding bow he carries is a hard bull horn bow with one stone and five buckets. The feathered arrows shot were extraordinary, much more powerful than the infantry longbow commonly used by the Western Army.
Xu Wu has not been shooting, but just lying on the ground, so that the pressure on the war horse is the least, and the speed is the fastest, he wants to catch up with Li De'an!
He wants to capture Li De'an alive!
Just now, Xu Wu specially instructed Yang Meng not to shoot Li De'an, because the arrow shot by Yang Meng just now did not use all his strength to pull the string. Otherwise, if the strings were full, with the speed of the arrows shot by Yang Meng's horn bow, Li De'an was afraid that he would not be able to dodge it at all. The arrow that Yang Meng shot just now was just to delay Li De'an's escape speed.
Finally, just when Li De'an was ecstatic and wanted to get into the mountain forest in front of him, Xu Wu also rushed behind Li De'an's horse's buttocks.
Xu Wu's spear was sent, and Li De'an was stabbed off the horse with one shot!
