Chapter 333: Reinforcements are coming



How many years has the black wolf ridden across Black Dragon Island, and there is nothing to say about the combat power and morale. But it is also a bit unbearable to encounter a freak like a tiger squat cannon, which can beat a solid iron egg for more than 300 meters, and the black wolf rider has no iron armor, as long as he is hit and does not die, he is seriously injured. The effect of the seventeen tiger squat cannons was better this time, and there were at least more than twenty riders, mainly because there were more black wolf riders.

After the tiger squat cannon finished shooting the solid iron bullet, the artillery immediately cleaned the chamber and reloaded it again, this time it was a loose bullet, and one cannon could be loaded with nearly a pound of iron sand.

"Lying cow cannon ready." Bao Xu shouted at the top of his voice.

"Oh, oh." The black wolf rider screamed and charged to the river, where the lying bull cannons and arquebuses were fired, followed by the rangers' crossbow arrows, and hundreds of horsemen fell like leeks.

The archers were also ready, and when the enemy came up to the bridge to pull, they refused to shoot their horses and began to release arrows, and who knew that the enemy had retreated, and had been retreating for more than a mile, and there they did not attack or retreat. Li Kui also climbed the outpost to lookout, and Xu Meng said: "It's going to suffer, this time there are guys with long brains in the black wolf ride, I'm afraid they will come around and attack us, and they won't be stupid to just hit this one bridge." ”

Li Kui asked the soldiers at the outpost, "Is there a place near here that can be bypassed?" ”

The soldier said, "Yes, it's just not easy to find." A few days ago, when we were resting, we had nothing to do, and we went down the river, and found that about twenty miles downstream, the river became wider, and the water was very shallow, only a little more than a foot deep, and we were still catching fish there, and the fish was big. ”

Li Kui said: "Okay, don't talk about catching fish, can you still find that place?" ”

"Yes, it's not hard to find, the distinguishing feature is a large reed beach." The soldier said.

Sure enough, the Black Wolf Cavalry sent two teams of fifty people, one each upstream and downstream, and the leader also made special arrangements, which was just to search for a way to cross the river and not engage the enemy.

The two groups of cavalry marched separately and began to search along the Tunu River.

The head wolf led by a group of soldiers downstream is called Hallehu, which means brave and invincible, translated into our Central Plains name, which is the most common what is brave and strong, such a name.

Hallehu is not very old, he is a centurion in the black wolf ride, he is brave in battle, and most importantly, he has a little brain. As a veteran cavalryman, they know how to cherish their horsepower, and only let their horses run wild when they charge.

The Tunu River in summer is really annoying, in fact, the black werewolves are reluctant to go south at this time, but their cattle and sheep are not many, and the black dragon city lord has the heart to dominate the black dragon island, constantly recruiting troops and buying horses, and the extermination of the black wolf riding is very strong.

"Head, look at the widening of the river there, and the reeds and tidal flats." A soldier said to Hallehu.

Hallehu said: "Go and try, be careful of the mud, don't ride a horse, take a stick." ”

The two black wolf soldiers dismounted, found a stick, and came to the river with their legs in a loop, and cautiously tried to walk, avoiding the dense reeds, and looking for a sparse place, where there was no silt, but sand, and it did not sink, and the deepest part of the water was just up to the knees.

The two of them walked all the way to the other side of the river and shouted, "The water is shallow, head, come here." ”

Hallehu looked at Xizhou vigilantly, found that there was no abnormality, and said, "You two come back and ride horses, let's cross the river together." ”

The two soldiers came back with water and mounted their horses. With a wave of his mace, Haltiger crossed the river with fifty soldiers. After all, if you don't take a good look at the pathfinder, how can it be called pathfinding.

Fifty horsemen carefully crossed the river, and as soon as they reached the center of the river, they heard a shout: "Kill." "This voice is not the voice of the Song people, but the voice of the indigenous tribe of Heilong Island. Hundreds of Tunu people, led by Tunu Tigers, slaughtered themselves from the reeds.

It turned out that as soon as the soldiers said that there was such a shoal downstream, Li Kui knew that things were not good, and wanted to send troops to intercept them, but it was difficult for Qiao Woman to cook without rice, so his subordinates ordered troops and guarded this outpost. So Li Kui thought of Tunuhu, the Tunu tribe left two hundred archers to help block the bridge, and the rest was all brought by Tunuhu, they also knew this place, and they were familiar with the road, so they walked faster than the black wolf.

In the river, the black wolf ride could not exert its power at all. Besides, the weapons of the Tunu people are also advanced today, with sharp reed leaf guns with blood grooves, and Dapu knives in their hands.

"Don't damn hurt the horses, Battalion Commander Li said, these loot are ours." The crossbow tiger said and slashed to death a black wolf cavalryman who had fallen off his horse.

Halehu was always on high alert, shouting as soon as he saw the ambush coming out: "Retreat." ”

Usually the black wolf rider yearns for a brave charge, and retreating is regarded as a deserter, but this time it doesn't work, and the commander who leads the team makes it clear that the goal is to explore the road across the river, not to engage in battle.

The Halehu and the more than ten horsemen behind turned around and ran, and the Tunu people couldn't catch up. But the black wolf who didn't have time to escape was miserable, some were dragged down the river and drowned, and some were stabbed to death by random guns.

Seeing that the enemy had run away and knew that something was wrong, Tunuhu immediately said: "You two rode horses and quickly reported to Battalion Commander Li, saying that the enemy had found here." ”

Once the enemy is allowed to cross the river, the outpost will be in no danger to defend, and the infantry on the flat ground will have no advantage over the cavalry, and Li Kui will also have a big head.

How should this battle be fought, at this time, on the watchtower, the soldiers shouted loudly: "Reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming." ”

On the southern horizon, five hundred cavalry came slowly, waving their flags. A tall flag, with four big characters fluttering in the wind, Jeju group practice. There are also several small flags next to them, on which are written the word "Dou Da Chao".

"It's my brother who has arrived."

Chao Gai was relieved to see that the outpost was safe and sound, and said, "Sound the horn, charge, and let the black wolf bandits on the opposite side see our military might." ”

"Yes."

The sound of the trumpets was low and exciting, and the cavalry dispersed and charged quickly towards the outpost. The cavalry black wolf rider on the opposite side really saw it, and the roots of their hateful teeth itched.

It was Chao Gai who came with four hundred cavalry from his personal guards and Lu Fang and Guo Sheng's troops, and Liu Tang, Pang Wanchun and other brigade artillery archers were still behind, and their marching speed was slow.

Li Kui and Xu Meng came to greet him, and Li Kui said: "Brother, you are here, I Li Kui doesn't know how to fight." ”

Chao Gai said: "How about the casualties of the brothers? ”

"We have eliminated more than 300 black wolf bandits, and our own casualties are also very large, ten people killed in battle, more than 30 wounded, Tunu Zhuang Ding should also have casualties, there are no statistics yet." Li Kui said.

Chao Gai said happily: "Okay, you fought this battle beautifully, now is not the time to talk about merit, let's talk about the situation first." ”

Li Kui briefly said that the black werewolf was looking for a place to cross the river, and there was just a shoal downstream to cross the river, but Tunuhu led the strong man over.

Chao Gai said: "The Tunuhu group is brave, but after all, they are not soldiers, in case they don't fight well, they will disperse in a hurry, let's not wait, instead of letting the black wolf bandits cross the river to our territory to burn and kill, it is better for us to kill them now." ”

Chao Gai made a brief arrangement, Chao Gai, Jiao Ting, Luo Yun, Lu Fang, and Guo Sheng led 500 cavalry to charge ahead, and Li Kui, Bao Xu, and 400 infantry led to the rear. As for the 200 archers of the Tunu people, they were led by Xu Meng and stayed at the outpost to guard the bridge.

The black wolf rode and shouted, and came to reinforce the troops, and the reinforcements were not afraid of you, and immediately set up a position on the other side of the river, and the soldiers who went upstream and downstream to search also came back, and the black werewolf almost had seven hundred cavalry, and the horse war black werewolf had not been afraid of anyone.

Chao Gai led a team of 500 cavalry, 400 infantry, and 900 people, all of whom were elite soldiers, and crossed the river with great momentum and set up a formation. The trick of fighting generals is not over, after all, the other party is a bandit, not a country.

Chao Gai ordered the flag to wave, and Lu Fang led the two hundred cavalry to walk forward more than a dozen steps. These 200 cavalry are equipped with divine arm crossbows, due to the high cost of crossbows and the complicated manufacturing process, it is unrealistic to want to equip them in large quantities, so they are only equipped with a small amount.

The black wolf also rode a lot of bows and arrows, but the range was shorter. The black wolf rode and shouted, screamed, and began to charge with his bow and arrows lying on his horse's back and desperately beating his horse. Their tactics are very simple, they charge to the range of the bow and arrows and release the arrows, and after two rounds of arrows, they basically start to engage in short-handed combat, and then it is time for the mace to be majestic.

Two hundred crossbow arrows fell from the sky, and the power of the crossbow arrows was really extraordinary, and hundreds of cavalry fell off their horses. Chao Gai was not idle, and fired three arrows in a row, and the three black wolf bandits who seemed to be the leaders fell off their horses.

Only one round of crossbow bolts was fired, and the enemy was about to enter within a hundred meters. Who knew that Chao Gai led the cavalry team to retreat sharply, and everyone crouched on horseback and fired arrows backwards. But the effect of the bow and arrow is so-so.

The black wolf rode that Jeju Tuanlian was afraid, and shouted happily, they soon found that there were dozens of wine jars on the ground after Jeju Tuanlian and others retreated, these wine jars were not small jars, but large jars of ten catties and one jar, the dark jars were covered with black cloth, and there was a rope smoking on them.

The pores of the centurion Hallehu just now felt like they were about to explode, and sensing the danger, he immediately shouted: "Retreat, don't charge." ”

But he was only a centurion, and no one listened to him, that is, dozens of horsemen listened to his advice and stopped their horses. Besides, the cavalry charge can stop wherever it wants. The team rushed up, and as soon as they came to the place of the wine jar, they heard a loud noise that shook the sky, as if the thunder god of the immortal heaven was angry, and there was a huge noise and flames in the wine jar, and the hot iron sand splashed in all directions, and the black wolf riders and horses around them fell to the ground one after another, and some were hit by dozens of iron sand, rolling on the ground in pain. Those who were a little farther away were not lightly wounded, and the horses were so shaken that they did not obey the call at all, and Herod jumped like thunder, raised his hooves and threw off the rider on his body, and ran wildly.
