Chapter 375: The Final Battle (7)
The best thing for the bandits is not to fight, but to escape, so their elite combat power basically has horses, but this morning in order to attack the Zhuolushan Pass, most of them got off their horses and lined up to wait.
Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong's running alarmed Li Zicheng, but it did not attract the attention of others, their attention was on Zhuolu Mountain, which was about to be breached, and when Li Zicheng ran almost completely, no one was surprised.
At this time, the people behind them were already empty, the galloping horses were imminent, and the hot breath exhaled from the horses' noses had even sprayed on their faces when they turned around.
The wild horses that were running wildly, almost standing still, and most of them were crowds with their backs to them, and the outcome was self-evident, only in an instant, more than a dozen people were knocked to the ground, and before they could exhale pain, they were trampled by the hooves of the horses one after another and broke their tendons, and they couldn't survive.
"Run!" I don't know who shouted, and the bandits who had not yet been affected scattered in all directions, riding on foot, they were not stupid enough to do that.
The crowd was in chaos in an instant, and even the leader couldn't suppress it, and after the horses were slightly stopped, they continued to move forward.
From time to time in the air, there is a "huh... The sound of breaking through the air sounded, it was the feather arrows shot by the herdsmen behind the horses, although the iron arrows had been used up at this time, and they were replaced by bone arrows that they were used to before, and the damage to the elite of these bandits who wore a piece of leather armor was not great, but the deterrent effect was not small at all, and the bandits were even more chaotic, but the more chaotic, the slower they ran.
A loud whistle suddenly sounded in the middle of the horse team, and then two groups of cavalry were divided from the middle and the left and the right, each with their bright scimitars across the horses, like two daggers, and slashed into the fleeing bandits in the chaos.
However, Xue Ping saw that the bandits' formation had collapsed, and it was difficult to organize a decent counterattack, so he arranged for Oliya and Ulihan to take the left and right wings to intercept and kill the fleeing people, in order to maximize the damage to the enemy's living forces.
Naturally, the Chinese army was not idle, and everyone also drew out their scimitars, placed them in front of the horses, and followed behind the horses.
For these herdsmen from the Mongolian steppe, riding on a war horse to chase these fleeing people is very simple, just put the scimitar in front of the horse, no need to chop hard, the speed of the horse's galloping, coupled with the arc of the scimitar, can easily and without hindrance to cut off the heads of these people, even if the luck or strength is poor, can also open a big hole in their necks, and it is not much different from cutting off the head, it is just a little late to die.
......
"Hey, Lao Cao, the general has also escaped." At this time, Zhang Xianzhong was already very close to the woods, and the enemy had just killed where Li Zicheng was, and he couldn't take care of them for a while, and he was expected to escape, so he was naturally relaxed, and couldn't help but look back, and what he saw was that Li Zicheng was running away from them and fled in the other direction.
Luo Rucai didn't speak, and continued to gallop on horseback.
"Ho, it seems that something happened at the pass!" Zhang Xianzhong said again, this is already halfway up the hill, see quite far, last night everyone thought that in front of the pass, the offensive of the displaced people on the mound has not only been contained, but also is retreating, the city gate has been opened, from the pass poured out a large number of soldiers, keep rushing out to kill.
The homeless bandits who were originally densely packed together scattered at this moment.
......
Gao Yigong's reaction was not fast, but he was still a step slower, and when he pounced on Gao Yingxiang, the sharp arrow had already penetrated the back of Gao Yingxiang's head, pierced out of his mouth, and splashed Gao Yigong's body with a canopy of blood rain brought out by the arrow.
"Smack!" Gao Yigong hugged Gao Yingxiang and fell to the ground, "Uncle! Gao Yigong shouted.
At this time, Gao Yingxiang was not dead for a while, his mouth opened and closed, his lips trembled and he didn't know what to say, the arrow that pierced his head made him speechless, a big mouthful of black and red blood gushed out of his mouth, his chest rose and fell a few times, and he grabbed Gao Yigong with one hand, as if he wanted to grasp the hope of the last life, and then tilted his head and died!
"Huh..."Before Gao Yigong was sad and sad, a sharp arrow roared to the top of his head, because he was lying down, the target was not big, and the shield in his left hand was slightly raised, and the arrow was blocked.
"Huh... Shout... Phew..."
Gao Yigong blocked the arrow, but the others were not as lucky as him, the archers at the head of the city Xu saw that Gao Yigong was not good at succeeding, so he simply abandoned him and aimed at others, these people were the elite people who followed Gao Yingxiang and Wang Jiayin to drive away the homeless, and then one arrow after another, shot more than ten arrows one after another, and fell more than ten people, it can be said that the arrows were not in vain.
"The big boss is dead!" A shrill cry rang out.
Gao Yigong hated and annoyed, didn't he break his military morale, carefully got up from the ground, held the shield in one hand, bowed down and touched Wang Jiayin's side, only to see him lying on the ground, his neck was pierced by a sharp arrow, he had been dead for a while, and there were also more than a dozen corpses that were killed by arrows lying around him.
Seeing that there were no arrows shot down on the city, Gao Yigong finally stood up straight, he can now be sure that there must be two archers on this pass, but he has been holding back, until today, he got a good opportunity, and then he made a difficulty, and after making a contribution, he shot many people in a row, and now stopped, it is either lack of strength or the arrow is gone.
"King Chuang is dead!" Gao Yigong shouted again behind him, and he turned around in annoyance, no matter who it was, he kicked over one person first, "What are you yelling about!" ”
However, this kicking and scolding was obviously useless, and the news that the big leader and King Chuang had died quickly spread, and the city had been attacked, and the homeless people who were in close contact with the defenders of the city were obviously affected, and the offensive was stopped.
The elite people who were originally going to follow the raid behind the displaced people were divided into two factions, one faction still wanted to act according to the original plan and continue to attack the city, not that they were blind and did not see the cavalry that was already rolling behind them, but these people were lucky, and felt that this pass could go down with a drum, go in and grab some things, and when the cavalry from somewhere attacked, it was not too late to run.
The other faction retreated, there were pursuers behind, there were enemy troops cowering in the city in front, the two leaders died suddenly, and when the dragons were leaderless, they didn't think that this pass could be easily captured, if it weren't for Gao Yigong's mediocrity and some prestige, these people would have run away.
At this moment, both groups of people looked at Gao Yigong, obviously waiting for him to make a decision.
