Chapter 270: Mongol Warriors
The distance of seventy zhang is not a short time to jog, Li Xiang ran more than half of the way, and when he was still more than twenty zhang away from the fighting thief cavalry, he stopped and did not walk. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he gasped and stared at the hundreds of people who were shouting and fighting fiercely, and he didn't know who to attack. After looking at it carefully for a while, I found that in the dry land outside the left circle of the fighting people and horses, there was a person who looked like a general wielding a waist knife, shouting and scolding, and he suddenly had an idea in his heart.
Reaching out and taking the automatic rifle handed by the soldier who followed closely behind, he raised the gun and pointed at the person who looked like the general.
Li Xiang hit exactly ******, but unfortunately this shot happened to be close to him because of ****** a group of fighting people, and he dodged the horse and dodged, just dodging Li Xiang's shot that killed him.
Although Li Xiang's bullet could not hurt ******, it did not miss, it hit the head of the ****** horse, and the right ear entered the left ear and came out, and the tall war horse ate a bullet, and did not even scream, and fell to the ground with a bang, pressing one of the wounded legs of the ****** under the horse's belly, and he screamed in pain.
When the cavalry in the struggle saw that the main general was about to fall off their horses, more than a dozen peripheral horses rushed to protect them, which just pointed out to the enemy and us. Li Xiang shouted and ordered: "The crossbow arrows of the guards are each grouped to shoot at the Mongolian troops who are surrounding the fallen general, remember to stay on the horse to shoot people, and the other thieves who did not attack us will ignore them for the time being." ”
The captain of the guard squad shouted an order, and more than 30 guards who arrived with him lined up in three columns in front of Li Xiang, raised their crossbows and fired at the guards beside ******.
The first row of ten crossbow arrows knocked down four Mongol soldiers, which attracted more ****** cronies and dead friends, who left the rebels behind and gathered around the ******, with their own bodies and swords, and three shields in front of the leader, and a few others jumped off their horses and lifted up the struggling ******.
Chen Junhua commanded most of the more than 100 guards armed with steel crossbows who had already arrived to form an arc to surround those cavalry, and sent a small group of more than 30 crossbowmen to face the Mongolian cavalry more than 40 zhang away to be on strict guard.
Striding to the junction of the Mongolian cavalry in front and the cavalry behind, Zhao Er yelled at the Mongolian cavalry: "Throw away your weapons, and those who surrender on their knees will not be killed!" ”
"Throw away your weapons, surrender on your knees, and don't kill! Throw away your weapons, kneel and surrender without killing! The escort and Li Xiang's personal guards shouted in unison, and the sound shook the battlefield, causing dozens of pairs of cavalry who were still pretending to fight to stop and turn back to inspect the source of the sound.
In the distance of sixty or seventy zhang outside the outer Mongolian cavalry from time to time burst out of the cannons, more than 100 strong crossbows on the white light of arrows, like the eyes of the devil, stared at these cavalry blinking.
In addition, more than 60 guards who rushed over also arrived at this time, and they laid out a multiple arc formation in front of Li Xiang to protect the coach tightly.
A Mongolian soldier first couldn't resist this kind of pressing momentum, and involuntarily let go of his hand, and the knife in his palm fell to the ground with a "choking" sound, followed by the sound of swords, guns and spears falling to the ground. The more than 40 thief cavalry besieging the rebels also slowly climbed the saddle and dismounted, pulled their mounts slowly to the road in disbelief, and knelt on the ground in a half-sitting and half-kneeling position.
Zhao Er shouted to Wan Yanhong and the others: "These brothers, you stay where you are for a while, don't act rashly, so as not to misunderstand." I'll have something to say to you later. ”
Only the sixty or seventy cavalrymen in front of the thief general ****** sat on their horses, and they looked directly at the hundreds of powerful crossbows and arrows in front of them with solemn faces, which could kill them instantly, and they clenched the swords and spears in their hands and rode on their horses without moving.
Zhao Er sighed and whispered: "These people are all tough guys on the battlefield, but it's a pity that they follow the wrong person." Perfect them, my lord. ”
"Can't these people be taken for my use?" Li Xiang asked Zhao Er hopefully: "Such a strong warrior is exactly what we need the most......
Chen Junhua: "These people have no idea of their own at all, they will only follow orders, and if there is no other order from the official to give them, they will do what they were originally ordered to do, and they will not rest until they die." ”
"Which cavalry general is leading the troops, quickly order your men to surrender, don't let them give a small life for nothing." Li Xiang shouted at the people on the other side without giving up, he really wanted to receive these cavalry under his command.
Li Xiang, who had not received an answer for a long time, did not speak again, and waved his hand motionally to the captain of the personal guard team who peeked at him from time to time with a bitter face.
"Shoot people and horses, raise crossbows to aim, shoot!" The squad leader's command came out at the same time as Li Xiang's arm waved.
After six crossbows were fired, more than thirty people had fallen in front of the ******, and the empty saddle horses, which no one controlled, strode out on their own after their owners fell, as if they knew to give way to other men and horses.
Just as the squad leader raised his waist knife and was about to give the order to shoot again, a strange cry suddenly sounded behind those cavalrymen, and more than a dozen horses guarded ****** rushed out diagonally to the left.
"Do you want to run away at this time? It's not that easy. Zhao Er raised his right hand, raised the steel crossbow that had been installed, and with a slight glance, he pulled down the hanging knife, and shouted in his mouth at the same time: "The crossbowmen of the escort team will shoot me in batches, and you are not allowed to let one go." ”
No matter how fast a horse runs, how can it be faster than a crossbow arrow?
Under the hundreds of featherless arrows, none of the ****** and the more than ten horsemen who escorted him to escape could run more than twenty zhang, and each horse had at least four or five arrows stuck in his body.
Li Xiang secretly shouted in his heart: "It's okay if people can't receive their hands, but it's a pity that there are more than ten good horses." Alas, more than a dozen cavalrymen were missing! ”
The one hundred and fifty or sixty rebels of the Mongol cavalry relieved themselves of the danger in front of them, and at this time they also dismounted and put their weapons together, so as not to cause misunderstanding. Under Wan Yanhong's beckoning, they led the horses to stand still, waiting for these troops dressed as samurai to descend on them.
Li Xiang couldn't bear to shout to the more than ten people who were still riding on the horse: "Your lord has already died, who are you still fighting for?" Drop your weapons and surrender to avoid death. ”
These Mongolian warriors were completely indifferent to Li Xiang's words, and with a sad look in their eyes, Mu Ran looked at Li Xiang and the others. The three shield-bearers dropped their shields, clenched their swords and raised them upward, indicating that they had only dropped their shields, not their weapons, and that they had not surrendered.
Zhao Er whispered: "My lord, it's useless, don't persuade them, let them die heroically." ”
"Shoot!" Li Xiang reluctantly shouted these two words and turned his head to leave, no longer looking at the field, he wanted to leave here as soon as possible and return to the town to think about it.
The thief cavalry, which was forty or fifty zhang away, was first frightened by the explosion in the cavalry and did not dare to move forward, but at this moment, seeing that the main general and the cavalry were killed, the generals leading the army aroused their ferocity. He no longer cared about how many people would be killed or injured by the explosives falling from time to time in the ranks around him and on the road, and shouted furiously: "The front team rushed to me, they only had more than 100 people, and more than 1,000 of us rushed up and trampled them to death." Quick, rush up, if you cower, slash! (To be continued.) )
