Chapter 4: Capture the Flag

It took nearly ten minutes for Yihua to finally and barely learn to ride a horse and kill, and now he can at least be able to dance a sword on horseback and ride a horse at the same time, without falling off the horse!

The five thousand light cavalry of the rear army were already ready, rushed to the back of the gate and waited, just waiting for an order, they could rush out of the gate! But now, the gate is still controlled by infantry sword and shield men and crossbowmen, and the sword and shield men and crossbowmen will not get out of the way, and it is impossible for the cavalry to break out of the gate even if they want to!

"Report! ~" A herald rushed over, rushed to Yihua, and said with his fists on the horse: "Qi Gongzi, Sima has an order, please lead the rear army light cavalry, five miles away from the valley, Xue Jun's chariot will be killed, as long as the Xue Army's Zhongjun commander Gongzi Mao is intercepted, the Xue army will be defeated without a fight!" ”

Yihua stood on horseback, glanced at the valley to the east, and then clasped his fists and said, "Please return to Sima, this son will receive the order!" ”

As he spoke, Yihua said, "Choke!" ~" pulled out his long sword, pointed diagonally to the front, and shouted loudly: "Sons, charge with this son, kill!" ~”

"Kill! ~" Uncle Midnight shouted loudly with several commanders and five thousand light horsemen.

The sword and shield men and crossbowmen on the side of the gate separated to the left and right, making way for a road two feet wide, and Yihua slapped the horse's ass with his long sword on the horse's back, and shouted again: "Kill! ~"The first horse rushed out of the gate.

Uncle Midnight was afraid that Yihua had made a mistake, so he hurriedly rushed up with the horse, and then, the five thousand commanders of the five thousand light horsemen also each took their own thousand light horsemen, and rushed out of the gate.

Outside the gate, most of the pursuers of the Xue army had already followed the Zhao army that had withdrawn to the left and right, and the road leading to the valley to the east became empty, with only a very small number of Xue army cavalry and heralds galloping back and forth.

"Sons, kill with me! ~" Yihua shouted loudly while galloping his horse, and rushed up along the empty valley road towards the Chinese army tent of the Xue army in the east.

The distance of more than five miles, at the speed of cavalry, is only a cup of tea. As if in the blink of an eye, the vanguard of five thousand light horsemen had already rushed out of the valley and appeared in front of the Xue army's central army.

There are still 5,000 Xue Jun who stayed in the Chinese army, and all of them are heavy armored cavalry with helmets and armor, which is completely different from the 5,000 light cavalry commanded by Yihua who have no armor!

"Report! ~ Marshal Qiyu, Zhao Jun shot 5,000 light horses! The scout rushed to Gongzimao, the commander of the Xue Army, knelt on one knee, and reported loudly.

Gongzi Mao, the commander of the Xue army, who is nearly fifty years old, is the younger brother of the Xue royal family, and the real royal noble. After listening to the scout's report, Childe waved his hand lightly, and the scout stepped aside. Afterwards, Gongzi Mao shouted loudly: "Where is Sun Bi, the deputy general of the Chinese army?" ”

"The last general!" A military general in his thirties flashed out from the side of Gongzi Mao, bowed and said.

"This commander ordered you to lead an army of 2,000 to intercept and kill the light cavalry of the Zhao army! If you can't bring back the head of the Zhao army, you will come back! Gongzi Mao glanced at Sun Bi lightly and said, in Gongzi Mao's opinion, with the combat power of Xue Jun's elite cavalry, two thousand interceptions and five thousand light cavalry of Zhao Jun are more than enough!

"The last general commands!" Sun Bi replied loudly, rode forward, and soon separated two thousand from the five thousand elite cavalry of the Chinese army, and rushed up against the five thousand light cavalry of the Zhao army.

"Childe, look, Xue Jun has divided his troops!" Uncle Midnight was on the back of the horse next to Yihua, pointing to the two thousand Xue Jun who had just been separated and said.

Yihua rode on the jujube red horse, looked at Xue Jun who had just divided the troops, his eyes wrinkled slightly, and then turned his head and said to his uncle Midnight: "Midnight, pass my order, go straight to the big tent of the Xue Army, don't entangle with the Xue Army's strange soldiers!" ”

"Whoa!" Uncle Midnight answered loudly and conveyed Yihua's order.

Although Xue Jun is a fine horseman, with armor, compared with Zhao Jun, one is a tank and the other is a light truck, and there is almost no comparison between the two, but if you talk about speed alone, the tank is far from being the opponent of light trucks!

Sun Bi's 2,000 heavy armored elite cavalry should be Yihua's 5,000 light cavalry, and before Sun Bi's Xue army and Zhao Jun contacted Yihua, he had already taken 5,000 light cavalry far away, leaving Sun Bi's 2,000 heavy armored elite cavalry, and went straight to the big tent of Xue Jun's Chinese army! Sun Bi rode behind with two thousand heavy armor spirits, and the distance between the two sides became bigger and bigger!

"Report! ~ Marshal Qiyu, the Zhao army rode 5,000 lightly, less than two miles away from the Chinese army! ”

"Report! ~ Marshal Qiyu, the Zhao army has five thousand light horses, less than eight hundred steps away from the Chinese army! ”

"Report! ~ Marshal Qiyu, the Zhao army rode 5,000 lightly, less than 300 steps away from the Chinese army! ”

"Ben Shuai has eyes, and he can still see it!" Gongzi Mao loudly scolded the scouts who came to report it, and immediately ordered loudly: "Generals of the Chinese army, beat the drums to meet the enemy!" ”

"Whoa! ~" The generals of the Chinese army who guarded Gongzi Mao replied loudly together.

"Knock knock! ~", the war drums sounded, and the three thousand Chinese army iron cavalry did not have time to put on their armor and get on their horses, so they simply abandoned the war horses, only holding spears and swords, forming a heavy human wall, blocking in front of Gongzimao's Chinese chariots, facing the Zhao army light cavalry that was charging, and waiting for the battle!

There were only less than 100 steps away from Xue Jun's Chinese army tent, and Yihua could already clearly see the forty or fifty-year-old black-armored veterans standing on the armrests of the Chinese army's chariot and the two-zhang-high Da Xuan (dao) next to the veteran, the big "åĻĢ (gui)" character like a seal book. Concubine is the surname of the Xue royal family, and Gongzi Mao is Concubine Mao.

Yihua's eyes shrank slightly, staring closely at Gongzi Mao on the Chinese army's chariot, pointed his long sword forward, and shouted: "Archers prepare!" Put! ~”

With Yihua's exit with the word "put", hundreds of arrows flew towards the Xue army in the array, like raindrops, and shot over dozens of people in the blink of an eye! At the same time, the archers of the Xue army also shot hundreds of arrows at the charging Zhao army!

For a time, the arrows on both sides flew like raindrops and locusts, from east to west, and from west to east, and within a distance of 100 paces, it was as if the sky was covered by arrows.

In just one hundred and ten paces, whether it is the Xue army or the five thousand Zhao army light horses on horseback, it can be able to fire two or three arrows, and the forwards of the two sides have already been strangled together!

And from beginning to end, Yihua was at the forefront, followed by Uncle Midnight and the hundred elite horsemen led by Uncle Midnight. Uncle Midnight is the pro-army guard who guards Yihua, and the hundred light horsemen he leads, although they are also light horses, are enough to be called elite horses!

Behind them in the middle of the night, it was Zhao Jun's five thousand light horses!

"Kill! ~" Yihua shouted, rushed to the front of the Xue army's formation, pulled the reins of the horse suddenly, and the jujube red horse man stood up, a pair of powerful front hooves were raised high, and fell down fiercely, immediately trampling the two Xue soldiers in front of the Xue army into a pile of meat paste!

Yihua didn't even look at the two unlucky Xue Jun, and the longitudinal horse jumped into the air, fell again, and fell into the formation of the Xue Jun, the long sword in his hand slashed down sharply, directly splitting the armor of a Xue Jun company in front of the jujube red horse into two!

A Xue Jun held a halberd from the right side and stabbed at Yihua, trying to knock Yihua off his horse.

Yihua's eyes were quick, his body fell back slightly, let go of the halberd stabbed by Xue Jun, grabbed the halberd with his left hand, pulled it to the side suddenly, and directly pulled that Xue Jun to him, and hit the jujube red horse under him, the jujube red horse's front hooves flicked violently, directly kicked the Xue Jun upside down and flew out, hit the other Xue Jun, and knocked that Xue Jun to the ground together.

Holding the halberd snatched from the Xue Jun in his hand, Yihua originally wanted to throw it away, but out of the corner of his eye, he just caught a glimpse of Gongzi Mao, the commander of the Xue Army more than ten zhang away, and his heart couldn't help but move slightly, his eyes shrank slightly, staring at Gongzi Mao with cold eyes, and shouted: "Gongzi Mao, look at the halberd!" ”

His right hand was raised high, as if throwing a javelin, and Yi Hua raised his hand and threw the halberd in his hand towards Gongzi Mao!

The halberd, which was nearly two meters long, cut an arc in mid-air, and flew straight towards Gongzi Mao, "Zheng! ~", rubbing the side of Childe Mao's ear, flew over, with a trace of blood, nailed to the chariot behind Childe Mao, and the shaft of the long halberd made of iron and wood was still trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Gongzi Mao's face changed involuntarily, but he heard the young general in the Zhao army shout again: "Gongzi Mao, the commander of the Xue Army, is dead!" Xue Jun's boss Gongzi Mao is dead! ”

At first, it was just Yihua who was there shouting alone, but immediately, five thousand Zhao army light horsemen followed and shouted loudly: "Xue Jun's commander Gongzi Mao is dead, Xue Jun quickly knelt down and surrendered!" Xue Jun's commander Gongzi Mao is dead, and Xue Jun quickly surrenders on his knees! ~”

When the three thousand Xue Jun heard Zhao Jun's shout, he involuntarily turned his head to look at the Chinese army's chariot, although it was only a momentary distraction, but he was instantly cut to the ground by the Zhao army beside him.

And at the same time when Zhao Jun shouted loudly, "Xue Jun's boss Gongzi Mao is dead", the uncle who was following Yihua's side opened his bow and arrows in the middle of the night, aiming at Gongzi Mao's boss Da Xu, and as soon as his hand was sent, a feather arrow flew over like a meteor, and the rope was shot into two sections, and when Xue Jun turned his head to look back, the Da Xu, who represented the commander of the Chinese army, fell!

"Daxu landed, ominous! Remove! ~" A trace of fear flashed in Childe's eyes, and he said sharply, turning the driver around and retreating to the east.

Of course, Gongzi Mao did not retreat because Da Xuan landed and was ominous, but because of Yi Hua's superb archery skills displayed by throwing a halberd with one hand just now and Uncle Midnight shooting Da Xuan with an arrow just now, it was enough to make him feel a trace of the threat of death!

As soon as the commander withdrew, the elite cavalry of the three thousand Xue Army naturally had no intention of fighting and ran backwards.
