Chapter 85: The First Test (3)
Shi Weiyi's cavalry cut off the way up the mountain, although the mountain bandits were afraid, but now they are in a desperate situation, fear is useless, resistance or not to resist will be slaughtered, rabbits are anxious to bite people, these mountain bandits listened to Liu Gouwa's words, they couldn't help but inspire the banditry in their hearts, and they cursed the officers and soldiers in front of them, echoing Liu Gouwa's suggestion, no one admits it, no one is willing to lag behind.

Liu Gouwa saw that everyone had the heart to die, so he explained: "The advantage of the cavalry is that it is fast and has a strong impact, but the cavalry must have a certain distance to kill in order to exert this effect, now we are a hundred steps away from the cavalry at the foot of Hutou Mountain, as long as we run forward a few dozen steps, they will not have this kind of distance to kill, and then we will fight with their horses, they can only be infantry on horses, this is the only way for us to break through the cavalry encirclement." ”
After Liu Gouwa finished speaking, he asked the mountain bandits to form a small three-wing formation in the form of swords, guns and arrows, and every three people formed a small three-wing formation, slashing horses and feet, guns and swords against the horse cavalry, and combined a large three-wing formation with multiple small formations, and ordered everyone not to leave the big formation for all the charges, then took the mountain bandits and rushed quickly towards the cavalry blocking at the foot of Hutou Mountain, without stopping for a moment.
Seeing the mountain bandits waiting for their own cavalry team, desperate charge, the cavalry at the foot of Hutou Mountain, are stunned, have never heard of, someone dares to use the form of infantry, to the cavalry countercharge, with their own shortcomings to the other's strengths, they only know that after the infantry meets the cavalry, only the formation of a formation to protect themselves or to fight in a formation is the way to deal with the cavalry with fast speed and strong impact.
Now, these mountain bandits, dare to seek their own death, blindly rush to kill themselves and others, but it is an eye-opener, all the cavalry at the foot of Hutou Mountain, can't help but have a contempt, and their own numbers have an absolute advantage, wait until the mountain bandits rush to the front, then urge the horse to intercept.
Liu Gouwa saw that the cavalry at the foot of Hutou Mountain was negligent, and did not urge the horses to rush and kill in advance, but he was greatly relieved, and led the mountain bandits to rush into the cavalry team, with three people as a small formation, and fought against the cavalry.
Although the mountain bandits were put to death, determined to fight to the death, and extremely brave, Shi Weiyi's cavalry had the advantage of horses and was condescending, but they also killed many mountain bandits.
The mountain bandits formed a formation and rushed forward bravely, but there were too many cavalry of the official army, intercepting layer by layer, breaking through layer after layer, as if they would never be able to break through these cavalry teams, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, if he waited until the hundreds of cavalry behind him arrived, he would be attacked by the enemy, and he and others would really only be the souls of these officers and soldiers.
Time is life for Liu Gouwa, and only the cavalry that breaks through these obstacles in time is the only chance for himself and others to survive. Hearing the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind, getting closer and closer, and the situation becoming more and more critical, Liu Gouwa couldn't help but shout urgently to the mountain bandits who were fighting with the intercepted cavalry: "Everyone should stop fighting, and rush forward at all costs to open a passage of escape." ”
When the mountain bandits heard this, they rushed forward with all their might, but they could not break through the interception of the cavalry. Just when everyone was feeling desperate, a large group of people rushed out of the Hutou Mountain, shouting loudly.
I saw Yang Dingtian, Lin Chong, and Sun Wukong, leading a group of refugee mountain bandits, holding torches in their hands, rushing out from the foot of the mountain, waving the torches in their hands, and rushing towards the cavalry that intercepted Liu Gouwa and others.
Those cavalrymen were startled by the refugee bandits who suddenly rushed out, and only after seeing clearly that it was some men, women, and children did they put down their hearts and hurriedly divided dozens of cavalrymen to intercept those refugee bandits.
The dozens of cavalrymen turned their horses' heads around and killed the refugees and bandits, but because the distance was too close, the horses could not rush to kill, but they were surrounded by those refugee bandits with torches, shaking the torches and frightening, and the horses under the seats were frightened and retreated.
After all, animals are animals, no matter what kind of large animals, they will be afraid when they see the fire, although the war horses are tamed, but when they see so many torches, they will still be afraid, and they will keep jumping and dodging the torches in the hands of the refugees and bandits.
When Yang Dingtian and the others saw the horses of the dozens of cavalrymen, they were really afraid of the fire, and they couldn't help shouting excitedly about those refugees and mountain bandits, rushing towards those cavalry, holding a burning torch and waving it vigorously, and rushing towards those cavalry first.
Those refugee bandits, seeing those cavalry killing themselves and others, were originally frightened and a little cowering, but when they saw the horses of those cavalry seeing the torches, they couldn't help but retreat, and they couldn't help but lift their spirits, and under the shouts of Yang Dingtian and others, they waved the torches in their hands like a swarm, and rushed towards those cavalry with Li Si and others.
The cavalry grabbed the reins hard, trying to control the horses under their crotches, but the horses were frightened by the torches and shouts of the refugee bandits, and they were already out of control, and they retreated desperately, but turned several cavalrymen upside down and fell heavily to the ground.
Yang Dingtian, Lin Chong, and Sun Wukong, when they saw an officer and soldier falling off their horses, they waved the torches in their hands, stepped forward desperately, and hacked the cavalry who fell to the ground to death.
The few war horses that were out of control, seeing Yang Dingtian and the others waving the torches in their hands and rushing desperately, were already frightened, and immediately turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the horses behind.
Under the impact of the startled horses, the horses behind also turned around and fled behind, causing the cavalry on the horses to tighten the reins and shout again and again. But how could the frightened beast be so easily controlled, and fled backwards with a strong temperament, and the cavalry on the horse had to lie down on the horse's back, and run backwards with the frightened horse, so as not to be thrown off the horse.
The dozens of war horses carrying the cavalry on the horses rushed backwards in a panic, and immediately scattered the cavalry and horse formation surrounding Liu Gouwa and others behind, and made a mess.
Seeing this, Liu Gouwa hurriedly seized the opportunity, shouted loudly, and led a group of mountain bandits to rush to kill the cavalry in the chaotic herd. The cavalry on those horses had the intention of intercepting and killing the bandits, but the horses under the crotch were disturbed, and they were uncontrollable, but they were killed by Liu Gouwa and other mountain bandits, who took advantage of the chaos to kill many people and cut off many horse legs.
When the refugees saw that the horses of the officers and soldiers were disturbed by the torches of themselves and others, and were being reined by the cavalry on their horses, and a large group of horses were circling in a circle, they could not help but be greatly encouraged, and they shouted and brandished torches and rushed up, and when they saw the horses of the officers and soldiers, they burned them with the torches in their hands.
The war horses of the officers and soldiers were disturbed by the refugees and bandits, and it was difficult to control, and Liu Gouwa and others took advantage of the chaos among the cavalry to fight, and the chaos was aggravated, and the cavalry had to abandon Liu Gouwa and others, and fled outside the mountain.
Liu Gouwa and others joined forces with the refugee bandits, and after repelling the intercepted cavalry by luck, the officers and soldiers who originally led more than 130 people to lure and intercept now have only more than 70 people left, and the losses accounted for almost half, which made everyone sad, but the officers and soldiers took the advantage, and their casualties were not much better, which made everyone feel more encouraged.
The fleeing cavalry ran not far away, restrained the frightened war horse, regrouped again, converged with the hundreds of cavalry who had just surrounded behind, slowly turned the horse's head, and confronted Liu Gouwa and others.
Just as those cavalry were about to charge Liu Gouwa and the others again, a loud and rapid horn suddenly sounded in the distance, and I saw that in the distance of Hutou Mountain, the officers and soldiers besieging Hutou Mountain were camped, and the smoke was billowing and rising to the sky, and the firelight reflected half of the sky.
The cavalry couldn't help but be confused, looking at the place where they were camped, a cavalry general was unwilling, looked at Liu Gouwa and others, heard the horn in the distance and became more and more urgent, couldn't help but wave his hand, shouted to withdraw, and took the lead in turning the horse's head and running to the barracks under Hutou Mountain.
