Chapter 1170: The Rise of the Republic XVI

The dog barking was made by the hunting dogs carried by the warriors of the thirty horsemen who walked in front of Zong Bi and Wu Yiyong!

Ye Lazy Road Wanyan is one of the three Wanyan Divisions, living in the Primorsky Territory of the Russian Federation in the later generations, far away from the hinterland of the Tokyo Province of Liaoguo, and it is also a very vigorous existence in the birth of Jurchen. They barely farm, relying entirely on fishing and hunting to make a living. All adult males, who are the best hunters, are also accustomed to being active in windy and snowy weather.

When you go out in windy and snowy weather, you can see with your eyes and listen with your ears, which is not very reliable, and you have to add a unique skill of nose smelling. Not a human nose, but a dog nose.

Today, because it was a north wind, Wanyan Zongbi and Wu Yiyong, who were traveling from the southwest to the northeast, were in a headwind. Headwinds are bad for combat, but good for dognoses. In conditions of poor visibility, the Hound can catch the scent of the enemy with its nose at a distance of a person's eye.

"Dismount! Ambush! ”

Wanyan Zongbi gave an order in a low voice.

By this time, it was already very dark, and it was windy and snowy, and it was impossible to see anything from forty or fifty paces. So it's a good opportunity to set up an ambush. However, Zong Bi's order was not to ambush anyone, but to hide himself first, so as not to be caught off guard. If you have the chance, you might as well sneak up on it.

In addition, their task is to be on alert and reconnaissance, and it is more important to find out the situation of the enemy than to eliminate them. So you should get the enemy closer and see what is going on.

The war horses of the Jurchens on Ye Lazy Road were all raised from childhood, trained by their own hands, and were very obedient, and the master pressed them lightly, and they lay down on the ice field, motionless. And those Jurchen warriors, each with a short spear in their hands, knelt on one knee beside the lying war horse. Always ready to throw a spear!

Now that the wind and snow are very strong, archery is not accurate at all, and throwing a spear is the best choice for long-range attacks. For the hunters in the mountains and forests of the northeast, spear throwing is the same as archery, which is the basic means of survival. After all, there are many large beasts, and there is no way to solve them all at once by relying on arrows. At this time, it is necessary to rely on throwing a spear.

Zong Bi finished the order, and said to Wu Yiyong: "Let's step back a little." ”

Wu Yiyong and his "little knights" rode Tianjin horses, all of which were geldings of the third and fourth generations. Horses are good horses, stronger than Jurchen horses, and they can run faster. But it has not been trained to the point of unity of man and horse, and will not "lie down and pretend to be dead".

And it's useless to lie down, Wu Yiyong's subordinates are all knights, playing with horses, and they can't throw spears. So it's useless to stay in front, it's better to take a few dozen steps back. Wait until the front is fighting and then gallop and shout loudly, creating the momentum of a large army approaching.

Just as Wu Yiyong and Wanyan Zongbi were retreating together, more than a hundred steps away in front of them, the king of the Jurchen tribe of Shun also stopped his war horse. This Jurchen warrior and his subordinates, who had been circling the area of the Tongtong River and the powerful Wanyan tribe for half his life, did not carry hounds, but he still heard a few dog barks, but he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing.

He froze there, just trying to reach forward with all his strength.

There was nothing but the sound of the wind and the waves.

But the confrontation with the Wanyan family over the years has made him very vigilant, and he also has an inexplicable battlefield intuition.

His intuition told him that there was danger ahead!

He drew his knife and swung it in the air, then raised the leather shield in front of him.

Seeing Ah Huchan wielding his hand knife, more than thirty Jurchen warriors of the Shun Kingdom who were scattered behind him drove their horses closer to him.

The task of Ah Huchan is different from that of Wanyan Zongbi and Wu Yiyong. He did not come out to reconnoitre, but to open the way for the army, and when he encountered the enemy, he naturally had to concentrate his forces to expel him.

More than 30 horsemen are together, and the scattered fronts are smaller, and the density of troops is larger. It's definitely more advantageous in hand-to-hand combat. Ah Husan still went first, and very carefully shrunk his body behind the horse's neck, and covered his head and face with a shield. Then drive the horses and move forward at a brisk pace. In this way, as soon as you spot your opponent, you can immediately launch an attack.

The movement of the thirty horses walking briskly was also very large, and they couldn't hide the lurking Yelazy Road Jurchen. However, they spread too far apart, only in pairs, so there were only two short spears thrown at Ah Huchan and the others, and they came through the wind, and before Ah Huchan could react, the tip of one of the spears pierced the neck of the war horse under his crotch. The horse screamed in pain, raised its front hooves, and seemed to want to gallop, but suddenly smashed into the ice again. Knocked the eagle to a dog and gnawed on ice, but it was no big deal. There was also a short spear, which flew towards another Jurchen warrior beside Ah Huchan, and it pierced the heart with a pop, no, it should be a cold belly. The thing didn't die, and it fell to the ground screaming.

The remaining twenty or so horsemen were also brave, holding their horse and charging with a horse pistol, rushing towards the two Yelalu Jurchens who had just thrown their short spears.

At the same time as the two Yelazilu Jurchens threw their spears, their war horses had already stood up, and now seeing that the situation was wrong, they hurriedly turned on the back of the horse and wanted to escape, but the speed couldn't get up, and in a blink of an eye, they were caught up by the Shunguo Jurchens, knocked off the horse, and lost their lives. One of them was led to the horse of the Falcon. As soon as he saw the saddle and the various equipment hanging on the horse's back, he knew that he had met a fellow Jurchen.

"It's a straight girl!" As he flipped over the war horse, he said loudly, "Sons, be careful, it's a straight girl, and it should be a mongrel from Wanyanbu!" ”

Almost at the same moment, another Shunguo Jurchen warrior also shouted, "Ahead, enemy attack, it's a brigade!" ”

It turned out that it was Zong Bi and Wu Yiyong who began to charge, although there were only fourteen horses, but the momentum was very large, lined up in a row, everyone held horses, galloping.

Galloping on the ice is actually very risky, and if you are not careful, the horse will miss the front hoof, and the visibility is still very poor. But Wanyan Zongbi had already discovered that there was a large group of enemy horsemen in front of him!

In this case, to rush to hand-to-hand combat is to send to death. Wanyan Zongbi knew that these knights who followed him were not very capable of hand-to-hand combat, and charging was their specialty.

Now it's time to run away or to attack!

It's not okay to escape, and you haven't figured out the details of the enemy, so you run away in a daze, how can you report it when you go back?

Let's charge! Anyway, the heavens will bless everyone. Therefore, Wanyan Zongbi immediately issued an order to attack in array.

"Meet the enemy! Rush up! The Falcon did not show weakness either, and immediately gave the order to charge.

The two sides soon collided, and this was the first battle between the knights of Wu Haogu and the cavalry of the Jurchen! Fourteen horsemen, against thirty horsemen Jurchen!

On Wu Yiyong's side, except for Wanyan Zongbi, who has reached adulthood, the others are all teenagers, and the oldest of them is Wu Jue, who has just turned twenty. In terms of physical strength and battlefield experience, they are not comparable to the warriors of the Shunguo Jurchens.

Although these Shunguo Jurchens are not surnamed Wanyan, they are also born Jurchens like fake and vicious gods! In history, Yelu Zhangnu's rebellion was defeated by this group of Jurchens who submitted to Yelu Yanxi, which shows their ferocity.

But today, Wu Yiyong and others did not compete with the Jurchens of Shunguo, nor did they fight for horse shooting, but only assaulted on horseback. Although their number is small, the war horse under the crotch is a strong Tianjin horse, and the hand is also a slender and elastic horse, and they have been practicing the ability to ride and sprint as early as the knight's elementary school. Having already mastered the various skills required for the wall charge, the fourteen horsemen lined up like a wall full of spears, and crashed head-on towards the Shunguo Jurchen!

A fierce collision ensued! Wu Yiyong, who had already had battlefield experience, didn't think about anything at this time, just silently recited the blessing of heaven. The wall charge is not about martial arts, but about discipline, luck and the physique of the war horse.

Wu Yiyong's horse didn't stab anything, but the war horse under the crotch slammed into another Khitan horse ridden by another Shunguo Jurchen warrior - the Shunguo Nuzhen came out of her life, and lost many good horses in the process, and there was no way to replenish the Jurchen horse, so many people rode on the Khitan horse. In fact, it is also a good horse, but it is still a big step worse than the fourth-generation Tianjin horse ridden by Wu Yiyong. Moreover, before the collision, Wu Yiyong had already raised the speed of the horse to the level of speed as fast as possible. It must have been much slower than when charging on land, but it was also much faster than the oncoming cavalry of the Shunguo Nuzhen.

Two horses collide, and the winner is decided!

The Tianjin horse, which was running at high speed, suddenly knocked over the Khitan horse, which had not yet raised its speed. The horse overturned, and the warrior on the horse was given in vain, and it was lucky not to be trampled to death by the horse's hooves.

After knocking over his opponent, Wu Yiyong still drove his horse at a gallop, not even to see if the opponent had been trampled to death (in fact, the man was not trampled to death, but only broke his knee and could no longer ride a horse)? Do you want to make up for it? Years of training have become a habit, and when you go to the battlefield, you charge in formation, and you run after rushing! After running, he didn't look back and rush again, now it was not a battle between the two armies, but acting as a scout.

Now Wu Yiyong and they broke through the enemy's blockade, of course, they had to go as deep as possible to find out.

While galloping on his horse, Wu Yiyong observed left and right, and found that there were twelve horsemen following him, that is, a brother met with an accident! However, Wu Jue, Ma Kuo, and Wanyan Zongbi, who were good with him, are still there.

There was no time to feel sorry for his brother, Wu Yiyong carefully controlled the war horse, ran forward, and not long after running, a rolling and moving fire dragon faintly appeared in the wind and snow in front of him.

This is countless Khitan warriors with torches, marching in formation on the ice, and the number of people is probably as high as tens of thousands!

The Khitan people actually made a desperate bet, and on this snowy night, they stepped on the ice and bypassed the impregnable Lushun Pass Great Wall!
