Chapter 149: Light Cavalry Night Strike
Thank you for the tip of Smoke Purgatory!
……
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the wars in the Central Plains Zhuxia were largely the drums of the classical era. Therefore, even the tiger ben in the three armies of the Jin State may not face sneak attacks and salvos in his life, not to mention these young countrymen who have been training in Dongxiang once a month?
The young townsmen of Dongxiang were first shocked by the light knights' slaughter in the night, and then they were stunned by the rain of arrows. After the casualties, they panicked even more, and even began to flee in all directions, ignoring the instructions of the two horses, so they suffered heavy casualties when the next round of arrow rain came.
The performance of the people in Xixiang was much better, and they actually tried to fight back, but the enemy was dark and I was clear, and there were not many long-range weapons in their hands, so they were completely at a disadvantage. Eventually, some of the horses were wounded by arrows and ran off into the night, hiding under the wagon and holding their heads.
Every few breaths, a scream would sound in the air, and the people hiding under the carriage could only hear the "clanging" of their heads, and the copper arrows firmly nailed to the carriage and wheels.
"Stop, stop! How long is this going to! Naigong can't wait, second and third sons, follow me! It wasn't until a thunderous shout rang out from the opposite side that the rain of arrows stopped.
The two horses cautiously poked their heads out from under the car and found that except for the dozen or so Xixiang soldiers hiding behind the car, they were still safe and sound. The rest of the Dongxiang people have long since no one standing, and they all have a few feather arrows stuck in their bodies, and only a few people who are not dead are still howling loudly on the ground.
"The short soldiers on the other side are coming!"
Although the bow and arrow had stopped, of course he knew what he would face next. Sure enough, in the hills and woods at night, the sound of running footsteps sounded, but everyone was like frightened birds, and they could no longer distinguish which were trees and which were human figures. The other party may have dozens of people, maybe hundreds of people, in short, more than their own!
Both Sima knew that today's ambush had no chance of victory. The other party has a careful arrangement and a large number of people, so for today's plan, you can only use that method!
He nodded to one of the Wu Commanders beside him, and Wu Chang was surprised, then stood up and took a few steps forward. He shouted loudly: "We are also the soldiers of the Zhao clan, tonight's incident is a complete misunderstanding, we are willing to surrender, please don't fight again!" ”
By this time, the sky had gradually seen people, and I saw a big man wearing armor and a leather hat on the opposite side, who looked fierce and vicious. After hearing the shout of surrender, the wicked man replied as he ran: "Abandon the blade first, and I will spare you death!" ”
The shouting Wu Chang glanced back at the two Simas, and when he saw that he nodded in agreement, he obediently threw the two-foot sword to the ground.
Who knew that the evil man did not stop, and continued to rush over with his teeth and claws, until he reached the Wu Commander who shouted surrender. Before he could react, he flashed a bronze dagger in one hand, a sword pierced into his eye socket, and a sword stabbed into his chest......
The people of Xixiang were stunned by the upheaval in front of them, but when they saw the evil man pull out his sword and spray the blood on his face, like a mountain ghost, he kicked the corpse to the ground, and said with a cruel smile: "Naigong hasn't killed yet, what to do!" The gentleman has instructed that today's action is to let the second and third sons see the blood......"
This evil man is none other than Zhao Wuxian's cronie Tian Ben, who claims to have gone back to the palace to visit relatives, and behind him are a full or two murderous Chengxiang foot soldiers wearing armor and holding blades.
And the other party's posture of rushing to kill made Xixiang and Sima regret that they had killed their cronies, and at the same time, it also made him completely lose the mind to beg for mercy.
"Run! Run, go to the woods! ”
The opponent is at least twice as numerous as his own, and he can't fight it, and he can't let him fall, so he can only hope to escape in the woods.
While taking the lead in running, the two Sima thought aggrievedly, didn't the "Sima Law" taught by the military officials say that the gentleman is not seriously injured, and he cannot be listed if he does not drum? Why did the soldiers of the Zhao clan seem to chase after them as if they were thieves?
The desperate situation stimulated people's courage and potential, and the people of Xixiang rushed towards the mountains and forests, while Tian Ben, who was chasing behind him, could not catch up because he was wearing heavy thick leather armor. So he scolded loudly, and at the same time he reached out to untie his armor and take off his shirt, and the leather armor covered the faces of the soldiers who followed him closely, while he rolled around on the ground, almost causing one of his companions to step on it and fall.
But Tian Ben only caught up with one in the end, and after falling to the ground and cutting his throat, he reached out and threw it, spinning the flying short sword and nailing one person again.
For the rest of the people, Tian Ben could only watch them get closer and closer to the mountains and forests, he was so angry that he screamed, rode on the corpse, turned around and scolded: "Yu Xi, you still don't chase it!" ”
The light knight who appeared from the night and stabbed two people with a spear in a row was none other than Yu Xi. He received a secret order from Zhao Wuxian yesterday, falsely claiming to stay in Xinjiang City, but in fact, he transferred the entire light knight back and joined Tian Ben, who was waiting nearby.
They rode in groups of two, scattered in the four fields of Chengxiang, and these sneaky people had just appeared in the evening, and they were discovered by the sentry, reported back, and passed the news to Zhao Wuxian in the township temple.
Zhao Wuxian only let Yu Xi ambush after seeing the ignition signal, but without specific orders, he could act cheaply. Therefore, Yu Xi gathered the scattered riders one by one, let the horses take the title, and ambushed them nearby, just waiting for the signal on the mountain to appear, and cooperate with Tian Ben's foot soldiers to wipe out this group of people!
Tian Ben's loud voice spread to more than fifty steps away, and Yu Xi, who was riding on horseback, snorted coldly.
"Quack!"
He didn't like Tian Ben's desperate style of play, if Tian Ben hadn't rushed out, he would have surrounded these people with his riders, and he didn't want to escape! If you change the well or Musha, you can definitely cooperate better with yourself.
However, Yu Xi also had to thank Tian Ben, because everyone present was basically killing people for the first time. Even Yu Xi, after assassinating two people in a row, his hands would tremble slightly when he opened the bow again, not to mention the young knights behind him, two of whom vomited.
It was Tian Ben's fearless and deadly style of play that inspired everyone's morale and allowed them to withstand the initial tension. Yu Xi finally understood why the gentleman specially ordered Tian Ben to go down the mountain to do this.
So now, he can only pinch his nose to clean up the aftermath of this guy.
It's also to blame those people for their bad luck, this low-lying place is an excellent place to hide, but it is also a good place to catch turtles in an urn, there are no mounds and rocks around to hide from riders, and it may not be so easy to run into the woods and abscond.
Yu Xi stayed on the horse, and after hearing Tian Ben's shout, he clamped his legs and galloped over. His subordinates did not have the ability to gallop and shoot at night on a night horse, so they dismounted and shot, and at this time they also saddled their horses again, waiting for the order of the rider Yu Xi.
"The second and third sons obeyed the order and divided into five teams to expel and outflank them! Block their way out, and be sure not to escape a single person! ”
As a result, the light knights, under the leadership of their respective cavalry commanders, were divided into five armies. The horse trotted at first at the urging of his legs, but as the knight shook the reins violently and whipped down his whip, it became a gallop that kicked up smoke and dust!
When the two horses of Xixiang were only twenty or thirty steps away from the woods, they were overjoyed, but they heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves behind them.
He secretly said that it was not good, and when he looked back, he saw that after a small circle, the five horse teams rushed out diagonally from the right side, like a huge palm that slowly opened, and grabbed the Xixiang soldiers who were rushing to the pigs!
