Chapter 55: And the Ambush
It's so aggrieved! At this moment, Lin Ji only had one thought in his heart, that is, he was too aggrieved!
Cavalry was simply not suited for street fighting, and the narrow alleys full of forks in the road directly caused the cavalry to lose the mobility and ramming power that they were proud of, not to mention that they were now engaged in street fighting with the enemy in a completely unfamiliar environment.
Fortunately, in terms of road recognition, Long Shouyi's Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry and Imperial Cavalry can be said to be equal opponents, and Long Shouyi's Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry also does not know the terrain of Mustard City. Both sides were troubled by the unique way of crossing the waterway bridge in Mustard City, and it was clear that the enemy was in front of them, but if they wanted to fight in close quarters, they had to take a detour to find the nearest bridge......
For those who are not familiar with the roads of Mustard City, Mustard City at this moment is like a huge labyrinth, even if the city gate is close at hand, it seems that no matter how far you go, you can't go any further.
Lin Ji was exactly like this, he was now like a headless fly and led the imperial cavalry around the countless alleys in the mustard city, until they turned to the road they had taken when they entered the city, and then they "returned the same way" and found their way out of the city.
Although there are also the defenders of Mustard City at the city gate, they are trying their best to block it, but these defenders of Mustard City are not the opponents of Lin Ji and his imperial cavalry at all, and the terrain at the city gate is obviously more open than the streets of Mustard City.
"Hahaha, finally out of this place." Lin Ji looked at the city wall behind him, and he was extremely happy.
Now he can be said to be flying in the sky and the sea, and in Lin Ji's opinion, there is really no place that hinders the combat experience of the cavalry more than Mustard City.
"Boss, we're out!" Lin Ji patted Zhao Fu and woke Zhao Fu up from his slumber.
In order to resist the toxicity and restore his combat strength as soon as possible, Zhao Fu has been closing his eyes and recuperating since before, but with little success.
"Send me to Geyang City on the border......" Zhao Fu thought for a moment and said.
"Okay!"
"Besides, you send someone to pick up the Iron Arm Army in the city...... They ......" Zhao Fu couldn't bear to say any more.
This time he was really careless, and he should have been more cautious...... Why did you agree to let all the Iron Arms participate in this celebration in Mustard City?
Zhao Fu understood that this time the Iron Arm Army would probably be completely wiped out here, and even if it was not completely destroyed, it would not be one out of ten, and the damage would be serious. The culprit of all this is his own carelessness, he thought that Zheng Yuan's department was in charge of guarding outside, and he knew that Zheng Yuan's powerful mustard city defenders did not dare to have different intentions, and Long Shouyi was ordered by Zhao Qian to come to help him, but Zheng Yuan's department suddenly defected, and Long Shouyi was also untrustworthy and colluded with the mustard city defenders......
"I've already arranged for someone to come to the rescue...... I just don't know how many ...... can be rescued in this situation" Lin Ji replied, and he asked Zhao Fuxian not to worry.
After all, the Iron Arm Army has grown into the strongest army in the Northwest from its inception to the present, and this is also half of his credit, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, and Lin Ji naturally will not let the Iron Arm Army fall into the hands of the enemy like this. Before withdrawing from Mustard City, he had secretly arranged for a lot of people to lurk and wait for the opportunity to rescue.
In front of him was a smooth road, and Long Shouyi's Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry was still circling in Mustard City, which made Lin Ji breathe a sigh of relief.
He has been fighting from the City Lord's Mansion to the present, and the long battle has caused great wear and tear on his body, and he must have enough time to recuperate, otherwise his physical functions will probably stop here for the rest of his life.
But just as Lin Ji was about to relax, he saw the enemy in his field of vision again.
Not far from the city of mustard, there is a shadow in the rhythm, judging by the experience of Lin Ji and the Hu people in the grassland several times at night, it is definitely a cavalry.
How could there still be cavalry? Lin Ji couldn't figure it out at all, the imperial cavalry of the imperial capital was in his hands, the Hu cavalry of Zheng Yuan's department had no signs of chasing him out for the time being, and Zhao Fu's iron arm army was still lying in the city lord's mansion, and Long Shouyi's Zhongzhou iron cavalry was still walking the maze in the mustard city.
How can there be cavalry at such a time! You must know that this is not the northwest where war horses can be seen everywhere, and cavalry is definitely a valuable class of troops for the Lanhe Empire, but tonight there are one, two, three ...... Plus what suddenly appeared in front of you, a total of five cavalry forces!
When did the cavalry become such a big cabbage, Lin Ji felt bitter, he reluctantly estimated, the opponent's strength was far above his imperial cavalry, I am afraid there are 10,000 people.
Lin Ji couldn't figure it out at all, Zhao Fu and Zheng Yuan were located in the northwest, on the border of the Lanhe Empire, bordering Beihu, and they swept the entire Beihu into obedience during the Zhao Fu period, opening up the trade route with Beihu. Zhao Fu Zheng Yuan has a large number of cavalry, he admits it, Zhongzhou Iron Cavalry is a veteran cavalry, and he also admits that he once carried the handle of the empire. But what happened to the nearly 10,000 riders who suddenly appeared in front of him?
Lin Ji really realized the scarcity of war horses in the imperial capital, even if the imperial capital was in a hurry, he could only organize such a small number of imperial cavalry, and he brought four thousand out. And the sudden appearance of the enemy at the moment means that there is another force with a huge cavalry in the Lanhe Empire?
The moon was obscured again, not that it was getting dark, but that the nearly 10,000 cavalry had come out of the night.
The Tiger Army is officially debuted.
This is the first official appearance of the Tiger Army, because the Zhao State has attacked and destroyed the country before, making it very difficult to transmit information within the Lanhe Empire, so there are not many forces with the intelligence of the Tiger Army, and even the imperial capital has been kept in the dark.
This was the first time Lin Ji had seen the Tiger Army, and it was also the first time that the Tiger Army had confronted these giant forces of the Lanhe Empire.
"Who are you?" Lin Ji asked, if he could, he didn't want to fight again.
"Pasture Tiger Ben." From the opponent's military formation, an indifferent voice came back.
"Why are you holding me back here?"
"Entrusted by someone."
"Do you have to fight?" Lin Ji gritted his teeth and asked.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Then give me death!" Lin Ji knew that his physical fitness was already showing signs of decline, and he could only make a quick decision.
"Boss, you can ride a horse now, right?" Lin Ji turned around and asked.
"That's it." Zhao Fu nodded slightly.
"Okay, you follow the army, and when the time comes, I will tear out a gap for you first, and you will protect the boss." Lin Ji said, the last sentence was said to the subordinates of the imperial cavalry.
"Yes, Boss!" There was a neat and forceful response from among the Imperial Cavalry.
"Hmmm! Rush out with me! ”
Lin Ji shouted, and he rushed out first.
