Chapter Forty-Seven: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada and the Yellow Sparrow Follows

This cavalry team that suddenly came out was the six hundred elites brought over by the Nine Masters of the Skull Banner.

In the spring of this year, the Nine Masters of the Skull Banner were caught off guard by the people of Phoenix Fort with crossbows and arrows, and fled back with heavy losses.

This made him hold a grudge all the time, and when he replenished the men, he rushed towards Phoenix Fort without stopping.

With the lessons learned from the last time, the Nine Masters of the Skull Banner didn't dare to make any more mistakes, so they patiently lurked within a radius of a hundred miles of Phoenix Fort, letting people secretly collect all the information of Phoenix Castle, wanting to defeat this somewhat mysterious small force at once.

Soon, they found some clues and quietly discovered a large vineyard in the middle of the valley.

The discovery of this secret surprised the Nine Masters.

The Nine Masters had already made a military order with their own head in the general altar, and there was only one chance to take revenge on the blood hatred, he didn't dare to despise the carelessness anymore, and forcibly endured the desire in his heart, and then let people further explore the information of Phoenix Castle;

Before he thoroughly understands the matter of crossbows, crossbows, arrows, leather armor and hats, he doesn't dare to act rashly, he has no chance of failure!

Not long ago, when he secretly discovered that Phoenix Fort was going to wipe out all three teams of people by the lake, he was extremely happy, and felt that he had finally waited for the right opportunity, so he acted as the yellow finch behind the praying mantis, so that the scene in front of him appeared.

As for why he watched the other Skull Banner disappear without asking, it was closely related to the fierce competition within the Skull Banner.

There are a total of nine leaders in the Skull Banner, and the higher the ranking, the more resources you get;

It is self-evident that the higher the ranking, the stronger the power!

The seventh man of the skeleton flag is hanged up, and he, as the ninth master of the general altar, will naturally go further, and naturally become the eighth master, and he will share more resources;

Mainly for this reason, he will not save the competitors in front of him.

The nine leaders of the Skull Banner, they can sit in this position, they are not good men and women, they are all jackals among jackals, extremely cunning, if there is such a similar opportunity, they will do the same, weakening the competitors of the same level, that is, invisibly helping themselves, helping themselves to stabilize their power and position.

The most powerful move of the horse team is the collective rapid charge, without strong infantry, ordinary forces simply cannot effectively deal with it.

The people of Phoenix Fort did not have the time or opportunity to organize the same charge, and they also understood the lethality of the collective charge of the horse team, so they could only hurriedly dodge where there were obstacles.

The billowing dust and smoke kept swinging, exuding an unstoppable momentum!

The Huns and Cypriots, who had just become prisoners of others, did not want to be innocently affected, so they quickly jumped into the nearest lake.

When the cavalry of the Skull Banner approached the area rapidly, the horses actively spread a distance of several meters between them in order to expand the range of attack.

The few recruits of Phoenix Castle who didn't have time to hide in the woods were knocked to the ground with their horses and people, and were ruthlessly trampled by hundreds of war horses in an instant, letting out a miserable howl.

The veterans, who had already taken refuge in the woods, immediately began to counterattack, whizzing crossbow arrows flew out, the war horses on the periphery of the skull banner fell to the ground one after another, and the bandits were thrown into the air one by one.

When the charge of the Skull Banner passed, the recruits on the horses of Phoenix Fort lost nearly a hundred people, which made Gongzi Wei Xing and the others extremely distressed!

The strategy adopted by Phoenix Fort this time was to mix the old with the new, and the old with the new, both infantry and cavalry, and the recruits who were not on the horse almost escaped the murder with their own feet.

Time was urgent, and the people who were alive in Phoenix Fort couldn't care about their grief, and in the shouts of Gongzi Wei Xing, some of them hurriedly drove their war horses to the depths of the woods;

Some of them hurried to the battlefield to pick up the crossbow arrows that had been fired;

Others were armed with crossbows and bows, and were actively defending, ready to attack the bandits who rushed forward again.

Two or three minutes later, the sound of horses' hooves came again, and the skeleton flag began a new round of charge!

"Come back, come back, the enemy is coming again!" Gongzi Wei Xing shouted loudly at the warriors who were picking up crossbow arrows.

This time against the enemy's charge, the people of Phoenix Fort were mentally prepared, the skeleton flag did not achieve decent results, but dozens of war horses and human lives were left on the ground.

During this period, the Huns and the Cypriots quietly slipped away along the shore of the lake and hurriedly fled into the distant mountains and forests.

At this critical juncture, the people of Phoenix Fort simply didn't have the time to deal with their waste, which had lost their claws, and let them escape in all directions.

After discovering the loss of the second charge, the Nine Masters of the Skull Banner immediately changed their strategy, allowing two-thirds of their subordinates to jump off their horses and slowly surround them with bows and arrows and weapons, while the other one-third of the cavalry was on standby at any time.

Nearly a hundred recruits were trampled to death by the horse bandits of the Skull Banner, and a wave of anger was accumulating in the hearts of the rest of the people of Phoenix Castle.

At this time, seeing that one of the people of the Skull Banner dared to jump off their horses and surround them from the woods, the people of Phoenix Fort immediately seized the opportunity;

Under the leadership of each squad leader, a team of ten people, with incomparably sophisticated leather armor and leather hats, braved sharp arrows in the air, and took the initiative to launch a counterattack.

For a while, the long-fought skeleton banner was completely suppressed by the powerful crossbow arrows, leaving corpses on the ground, constantly retreating.

As they were about to leave the woods, the remaining skeleton banners completely collapsed, and they scrambled to flee despite the enemies behind them.

When the nine masters saw this scene, their faces turned blue and they jumped like thunder.

Subsequently, the number of people was counted, and when he knew that he had lost more than one hundred and sixty more of his men, the Nine Masters vomited a few mouthfuls of blood on the spot;

After that, he fell into a frenzy, and casually pulled out the machete on his horse, and slashed and killed several small bosses kneeling in front of him!

"It's all rice buckets, it's all waste、、、、、、 it's useless, it's all for Lao Tzu to die!" The Nine Masters gasped for breath and shouted frantically.

For a while, all the skeleton flags subconsciously hid far away, not daring to approach him at will.

Subsequently, the nine masters calmed down a lot, and they were very unwilling to fail, and gathered the last sixty percent of the men and horses, wanting to turn the situation around, so that their subordinates were divided into three parts, and they took turns to throw them into the woods on war horses.

This tactic is not too lethal, and it is more about venting anger in it.

"Let the brother with the crossbow be divided into three parts, and push me sideways in turn!" Gongzi Wei Xing ordered sternly.

"Yes, Childe!"

Soon, there was movement in Phoenix Fort, a team of fifty people, strong against sharp arrows in the air, armed with crossbows and crossbow arrows.

As soon as they walked out of the woods, they immediately continued to run, rushing towards the horses of the Skull Banner, and the crossbow arrows rained out one after another, and at the same time they no longer deliberately maintained a neat formation, how to use it to kill the horses.

This part of the skeleton banner did not expect that the people inside would suddenly come out, and there was no time to adjust the horse's head, and under the baptism of crossbow arrows, more than half of the people and horses were lost in a few seconds.

After the first attack team of Phoenix Fort was launched, the second attack team immediately made up for it, and another rain of crossbow arrows flew by, and this part of the bandits did not escape at all, and the whole army was annihilated!

The third team of crossbows crossed over and continued to move forward, followed by the first team of crossbows, which had already quickly loaded their crossbows.

killed more than 100 of his subordinates in more than ten seconds, which made the Jiu Dangjia angry and smoking, but he had to endure the horror in his heart and hurriedly said loudly: "Withdraw!"

When it came, it was extremely strong and beautiful, but at this time the retreat was extremely hasty and frustrated, and the skull banner lost sixty percent of the soldiers and horses, like a lost dog retreating quickly, leaving behind pieces of corpses and messes!

He, the yellow finch behind the praying mantis, has failed very much!
