Chapter Ninety-Three: The Name of the Harrier
The red tasseled helmet, as always, led the way at the front of the lancers. The whole team formed a two-word formation in the cottage and slowly accelerated towards the enemy troops on guard in the distance.
The enemy did not lose their fighting spirit in horror because of their sudden appearance behind them. Instead, under the orders of the enemy commander, the rear of the enemy army quickly began to form a formation to deal with the incoming charge of their own side.
Although the enemy forces were outnumbered and their allies were in decline, the soldiers of the cavalry were not afraid. Everyone just looked at the back of the leader of the management team in front of them, and they could find enough courage in the helmet fluttering in the wind.
Although the leader of the team has always disliked to talk, it is this calmness and calmness as always, which can always infect the other soldiers in the team. Even if there is no Xiucai leader in the back now, no one will have the courage to flee the battlefield.
"Woo~woo."
Seeing that the leader of the team in front raised his line gun with one hand, the horned hand in the cavalry team gave a signal at the right time. Under this signal, the whole team also consciously began to gradually accelerate.
When the cavalry team came within range of the enemy's bow and crossbow, all the soldiers were able to shoot the oncoming feathered arrows, and finally, under the leadership of the forward team, smashed into the rebel formation like a wall.
With the neighing of horses and the shouts of knights, screams and flesh filled the rear ranks of the rebels.
……
After Ma Jinzhong picked up a spear that stabbed him, he flexibly slashed the enemy's throat with the blade. After that, he slammed the gun to the right, slapped off a slashed waist knife, and followed the Xiucai leader in front of him regardless of it, until he reached the position of the rebel commander.
Maybe it's because the rebel rear team has used too much energy in the previous battle, or maybe it's because of the bravery of all the people in their cavalry team. The cavalry charge launched this time actually directly penetrated the line of the rebel rear in one shot. At this time, the cavalry of Jinding Mountain all advanced towards the center of the rebels.
A flying head threw out a lot of blood and hit Ma Jinzhong's face. Then came a headless corpse, which took a few steps on the ground before finally falling weakly.
This terrifying scene really frightened Ma Jinzhong, a former thief who had seen many battles.
However, as the escort of the leader of Xiucai, he still insisted on carrying out his duties, following closely behind his leader, protecting the leader's back from the enemy's attack.
But seeing the fierce and incomparable performance of the leader of Xiucai, Ma Jinzhong was a little skeptical at this time whether there would really be someone who dared to approach the killing god in front of him.
After Chen Guanghong, the traitor whose real name is Huang Shizhang, was personally executed by the leader of Xiucai. The leader of Xiucai, who has always made Ma Jinzhong feel very kind and talkative, suddenly became a little intimidating.
Although Master Xiucai didn't say anything indignant afterward, it was this restrained anger that made Ma Jinzhong feel a rare murderous aura.
It seems that just like Wu Dayong secretly said to himself, Master Xiucai really values "Chen Guanghong". And the betrayal of this henchman also ignited a fire in the heart of the leader of Xiucai.
The current Xianggong needs to vent, and anyone who dares to stop him in front of him will be mercilessly sent to see the king of Hades by his Yanling knife.
Although Ma Jinzhong felt that the flesh-and-blood Xiucai master around him at this time was indeed a bit crazy. But maybe it's better, if Xiucai leader he can vent all the anger he has held in his heart. After the battle, Master Xiucai should be able to recover a little bit of his original appearance.
Thinking of this, Ma Jinzhong increased his horse speed a little more, and came to the right rear of the leader of Xiucai, better protecting the dead corner of the Xianggong master.
seems to have the same idea, Wu Dayong, who is also a guard, tacitly ran to the other side, and the left rear of the leader of Xiucai was also protected.
And the last remaining guard, Su He, continued to faithfully protect the master's back. In this way, the four cavalrymen formed a formation that was almost diamond-shaped, setting off a bloody storm among the rebels.
……
Although Zhang Mengcheng and his three guards did create a lot of trouble among the rebels. But in the eyes of most of the rebels, the Harrier at the forefront is the biggest threat.
When Jindingshan's cavalry began to storm the rebels' rear line, it was Ma Harrier who took the lead in the formation and used his line gun to kill several rebel soldiers in succession, successfully opening a gap.
And it was also the efforts of Ma Harrier, and Liu En, the commander of the rebel rear team, was killed in an instant. As a result, the rebels' rear ranks were chaotic, and more than a hundred rebel soldiers were routed by Jindingshan's cavalry in one fell swoop before they could react.
At this time, the large army of the rebels was still entangled with the enemy in front, and the men and horses at the top of Artemisia also saw the hope of turning defeat into victory, and began to counterattack with all their might. Now there are only more than 100 elite cavalry left in the Chinese army, and at this time, under the command of Sun Jiye, they are trying to crush this advancing enemy army with a numerical advantage.
However, for now, it seems that their numerical advantage has not been brought into play. Although the individual combat power of these elite cavalry is also good, in the face of the Jindingshan cavalry that has always maintained order, the rebel elite cavalry with more numbers has fallen into a passive situation of fighting more with less.
One after another, the rebel cavalry was killed by Jin Dingshan's line guns and waist knives, and the elite cavalry led by Sun Jiye gradually became unstable after paying a lot of casualties.
Especially on Ma Xiangzhong's side, none of the rebel elite cavalry could block a shot from Ma Harrier. After seeing that the close companions were all killed in battle, Sun Jiye's elite horsemen all drove their horses and chose to avoid this killing god.
Seeing that the morale of his elite cavalry was declining, Sun Jiye, the supreme commander of the rebels here, cursed loudly. Then he raised his saber and met the enemy's bravest warrior with great responsibility.
And the other elite horsemen around Sun Jiye were also inspired by the commander's brave actions. Almost spontaneously, they followed the figure of the commander and launched an attack on the horse harriers of Jinding Mountain. Thanks to their efforts, the Harrier, which had been unstoppable before, was finally stopped.
"Kill him." After Sun Jiye successfully blocked the attack of the horse harrier with his sword, he quickly disengaged, allowing the other cavalry to follow behind him to surround the enemy.
"Die." A rebel cavalryman with a bone duo smashed the head of the horse harrier's warhorse, but in the end he failed to make a contribution, and was dodged by the opponent's nimble horsemanship.
"Let's go together."
However, he was the one who attacked, and several rebel cavalrymen attacked with swords and guns.
Ma Harrier stabbed to death an opponent who was attacking at the front with one shot, and then grabbed a line gun that stabbed over, and successfully blocked an attack from the enemy on the left with the barrel of the enemy's gun, and then took a few slashes with the hard armor on his body, and successfully forced into Sun Jiye's side.
Sun Jiye was very surprised by Ma Harrier's fearless performance, and he hurriedly used his knife to block the attack on his throat again. But what Sun Jiye didn't expect was that the enemy pounced directly from the war horse, grabbed him and fell to the ground together.
The Harrier's surprise attack succeeded in disrupting the enemy's siege on him. The other enemy troops in the vicinity were afraid of accidentally injuring their commander, so instead of blindly attacking on their horses, several people dismounted one after another, trying to rescue their own commander together.
And more people stopped the other cavalry killed by Jinding Mountain, hoping to buy enough time to take the opportunity to kill the horse harriers who were fenced.
And the development of events did quickly divide the result, but the rebels were horrified to find that several of their own people who fell into foot combat were all defeated by Ma Harrier alone.
After Ma Harrier fell to the ground, he smashed his fist on the Adam's apple of his commander Sun Jiye, and then pulled out two knives from his waist and Sun Jiye's waist with his left and right hands at the same time. Then a body spun and opened a stabbing palladium stab, and quickly approached his opponent, slashing the throats of two rebel soldiers in quick succession.
Then he grabbed a rebel soldier and threw him out with force, knocking down another opponent who was pressing up. Finally, the harrier picked up a wire gun that was stuck diagonally on the ground and pinned the two people who had fallen to the ground together.
The two rebel soldiers, who had been pierced through the stomach by the same line gun, let out a miserable wail on the ground, deeply shocking everyone present. The rebels couldn't believe what was happening at this moment.
They didn't dare to step forward, so they could only watch stupidly as Ma Harrier cut off the head of the commander Sun Jiye with a knife. And after a long howl from the other party, he finally lost the will to fight and fled.
Seeing this, the cavalry of Jinding Mountain naturally refused to stop. They shouted that the thief was dead, and continued to harvest the lives of the rebels with their weapons. And the situation on the battlefield was finally reversed after Sun Jiye was killed.
The mugwort troops, who had already suffered more than 100 casualties, took this opportunity to push back the battle line that had been stalemate under the leadership of Cai Zhongde. Wang Congren, another of Shen Yikui's cronies, was beheaded by Cai Zhongquan by Cai Zhongquan, and the other rebel officers were also beheaded one after another by the soldiers and leaders of Artemisia Peak, who had been holding their breath.
In the end, the two men and horses of Jin Dingshan and Artemisia Peak, who killed the red eye, almost forgot to collect the prisoners of war, and chased and killed the other rebel soldiers who retreated and ran for twenty miles.
When they finally came to their senses, the leaders of Jin Dingshan and Artemisia Peak were surprised to find that the total number of rebels captured by the two sides was less than thirty, and nearly half of these surrendered enemies were wounded. And most of these people are mentally unstable, and they keep muttering to themselves in a trance: "The horse harrier is coming, the horse harrier is coming." ”
And it was after today's battle that the name of the Jinding Mountain Horse Harrier gradually began to spread in areas other than Ningsai and Baoan.
