Chapter Ninety-Seven: Cavalry Battle Between Pursuit and Escape

Gongzi Wei Xing immediately signaled the horse team to adjust the direction of the gallop, and rushed towards an enemy army that had just blocked the direction of the horse team to which Huyan Leopard belonged!

This thousand-strong cavalry immediately reacted, and was forced to divide half of its forces to intercept the onslaught of the cavalry led by Gongzi Wei Xing!

Suddenly, the pressure of Huyan Leopard's cavalry plummeted a lot, and Huyan Leopard took the lead, desperately trying to take everyone out and break through the encirclement of the three cavalry armies!

Facing the enemy army in front of him who wanted to stop his cavalry, Gongzi Wei Xing ordered loudly on his horse: "The crossbow team is ready to fire with all their strength and destroy them as quickly as possible!" ”

Soon, the order reached the ears of all the cavalry warriors.

More than ten seconds later, at the moment when the two cavalry armies were about to collide head-to-head with only a few dozen meters apart, the crossbow team of Phoenix Fort pulled the trigger of the crossbow unusually calmly!

The sound of whizzing crossbow arrows began to resound in mid-air, and powerful crossbow arrows hit the target in front of them, and the cavalry belonging to the Cypriots suddenly flew into flames and fell to the cold ground.

Immediately, the cavalry of Phoenix Fort stomped mercilessly past it!

In less than half a minute, the five or six hundred cavalry turned into cold corpses, which made the Sai people who were chasing Wei Xing's cavalry reluctantly frightened, and their faces were extremely ugly;

They didn't want the crossbow and crossbow arrows of Phoenix Castle to be powerful at the beginning, so ferocious and unstoppable, they all subconsciously slowed down the speed of their horses a little!

At this time, the cavalry to which Huyan Leopard belonged used crossbow bows and crossbow arrows to open the way, and they had just rushed out of the weak part to kill strongly!

Immediately, he joined forces with the cavalry led by Gongzi Wei Xing, and walked away in one direction without stopping, leaving bursts of billowing smoke and dust!

Several cavalry of the Cypriots slowly joined together in a gallop, following the cavalry of Phoenix Castle in hot pursuit!

When Governor William, who was in the army, saw this, his face was pale, and his face was gloomy and black, and he did not say a word;

For a moment, the guards around him were frightened and did not dare to make any movement, so as not to attract the thunderous wrath of His Excellency the Governor and kill him!

Seeing the cavalry of Phoenix Fort disappearing into the distance, Governor William said coldly: "Capture all the slaves who have fled in all directions, and if there is any resistance, they will be killed!" ”

"At the same time, send three more thousand-man cavalry teams to continue to advance, sweep away all obstacles ahead, and the army will camp here for the time being!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor!" Everyone replied in unison.

、、、、、、

The cavalry of Phoenix Fort ran for more than ten miles in a row, and found that the enemy army of more than 5,000 people was still persevering in chasing behind, and they were very angry in their hearts!

Gongzi Wei Xing saw the opportunity to the herald beside him and ordered: "Let all the brothers with crossbows and bows slowly gather at the back of the horse team!" ”

Then, Gongzi Wei Xing slowly moved to Huyan Leopard's side, solemnly instructed a few words, and gradually converged with the soldiers of the crossbow team, located at the back of the horse team.

Subsequently, Gongzi Wei Xing led this crossbow team of more than 500 people to quickly break away from the large army in front!

Immediately, the cavalry of the Cypriots also divided a part of the men and horses, and persevered to bite the tail of the son Wei Xing!

On this side of the river, the 2,500 auxiliaries of Phoenix Fort had built a simple camp on the opposite bank of the stone fort as fast as possible, and were racing against time to continue to improve the defensive measures of the camp;

Hundreds of wooden boats were extremely busy going back and forth between the two sides of the strait, adding full horsepower to transport all kinds of materials, and the entire Phoenix Fort was running, and Tang Zhongwei and Cao Da on the side of the stone fort were too busy to stand on their toes!

A few minutes later, Gongzi Wei Xing and the crossbow team had quickly detoured back to the rear of most of the enemy's cavalry, using crossbow arrows to continuously shoot at the enemy in the tail!

During the period when a large number of horses are running fast, unlike a few horses who say stop and stop, they need a certain amount of time to buffer the horse's speed!

At this moment, the Cypriots did not dare to slow down; Otherwise, the losses will be even greater!

After two or three minutes, the cavalry of the Serbs had lost nearly a thousand men, and they were forced to disperse into seven or eight horse teams to avoid the attack from the back!

"Earthworm survival in sections, very good tactic!" Gongzi Wei Xing praised it, and said fiercely: "Even so, Lao Tzu will eat you no matter what you do today!" ”

Afterwards, the crossbow team of Phoenix Fort pursued closely behind the nearest cavalry!

But the subsequent situation made Gongzi Wei Xing a little dumbfounded!

This cavalry army of seven or eight hundred men soon split into seven or eight squads again, scattered and fled in different directions!

"I'm grass, cunning fellow!"

The strength of Phoenix Fort was not superior, and Gongzi Wei Xing did not dare to let the cavalry team split to pursue the enemy now, so he had to let everyone speed up their horses and devour the more than 100 prey in front of them as much as possible!

Then, the more than 100 Cypriots scattered in different directions!

At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing realized the true combat quality of the regular army of Xiaowan Kingdom, and his face couldn't help but become solemn!

If it were an ordinary army, when they encountered such a crisis, they would have dispersed in a hurry and rushed to flee for their lives, and there would never be such an orderly figure!

After a while, seeing Huyan Leopard leading the rest of the cavalry to rest on a high slope, Gongzi Wei Xing realized that the war horse had been running for half an hour, and he should have been tired!

Then, he told everyone to slow down and stop on the side of the high slope, so that the horses under the seat could breathe for a while.

In this kind of war, most of the soldiers did not dare to dismount at will, and kept an eye on the surrounding enemy situation, ready to deal with sudden enemy situations at any time;

Only a very small number of cavalrymen dismounted, took off the water bags and rice beans, and hurried to feed the war horses in batches!

Soon, the Cypriots, who still had more than 3,000 horses left, gradually appeared in the sight of Phoenix Castle, stopping on the far side and facing each other;

Both sides are hurrying to let the war horses rest and quickly recover their strength!

With leather armor and leather hats, crossbow bows and arrows, although Phoenix Fort eliminated more than 2,000 enemies, it inevitably lost three or four hundred cavalry soldiers, which made Gongzi Wei Xing very heartbroken!

Every cavalry is a valuable asset of Phoenix Fort, and Gongzi Wei Xing doesn't want to continue fighting with this group of cavalry anymore!

This kind of asymmetrical consumption, although it is very beneficial to Phoenix Castle, but Phoenix Castle really can't consume the other party!

However, seeing the enemy's persevering behavior, Gongzi Wei Xing is now very headache!

Several commanders of the cavalry were also very distressed by their own losses, and they did not want to continue the battle too much;

The reason why they are persevering and not withdrawing their troops now is that they are afraid of Governor William's punishment, so they have to continue and get some results before they can go back to the business!

However, they are in a dilemma and hesitate!

They also know that if they want to achieve some results, it is a very tricky thing to do, and they need to pay an even heavier price!

This is because the lethality of the Phoenix Fort crossbow bolts is really amazing, even a middle-level officer wearing iron armor cannot avoid death!

At the same time, the number of crossbows turned out to be more than five hundred, which also shocked them!

With the passage of time, the horses on both sides gradually regained their original physical strength and spirit;

But the men and horses on both sides were quietly facing each other, and no one was rushing to take the first step!

The surroundings also seemed to be affected by this iron-blooded atmosphere, the silence was terrifying, and all the creatures fled the area far away!

I don't know how long it took, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance woke up the men and horses on both sides, and they all guessed in their hearts for no reason which reinforcements it was!
