Chapter V: The First Engagement II

As a rain of arrows from the crossbowmen of the Western Navy came, the centurion and more than thirty of his men were shot down from their horses. The remaining cavalrymen were so frightened that they pulled up the reins and did not dare to move forward. The cavalry behind did not know the situation, but still carried their swords and leaped forward to kill. As a result, a large number of cavalry was jammed in front of thousands of crossbowmen.

And the arrows of the Western Navy still kept shooting, and some of the cavalry kept falling from their horses. At this time, Li Rijing and the others were looking for a place to hide.

Wang Gou'er: "What should we do, we will all be shot to death!" ”

Fang Xu: "Chang Haoxue, take a note to come out, you usually pay more attention"

Chang Haoxue: "Why don't we withdraw, their bows and arrows are too fierce, and they can't catch up with us on horseback anyway!" ”

Fang Xu: "No, there seems to be a team of warlords in the back." ”

Meng Er was stupid: "His grandmother's, then let's just fight with the Western Navy!" ”

Wang Gou'er: "You're so stupid, you didn't see how the centurion died!" ”

Li Rijing: "I have a trick, the slope behind the dirt bag here is gentle, you can go up." We went up from that side just enough to rush into the crossbowman's flank. ”

Wang Gou'er: "But it's not enough for a few of us!" ”

Li Rijing looked at the large group of cavalry next to him who were dodging arrows like them, and when he had an idea, he shouted loudly: "Come with me if you want to live!" ”

The cavalry around him had already been shot and covered their heads, and when they heard Li Rijing's shout, it didn't matter if it was true or not, they slapped their horses to catch up. men and horses followed horses, but more than fifty horsemen followed. Li Rijing and the others quietly detoured behind the mountain bag next to the Xihu Army, and then more than 50 horsemen lined up, leading the horses on foot and leaning up. When they reached the top of the mountain, they saw thousands of crossbowmen shooting arrows at the cavalry at them.

And the cavalry, after a period of panic, finally calmed down and began to charge like a sea again. When they were about to rush to the front of the formation, they saw several columns of pikemen suddenly jumping out of the crossbowmen, quickly forming a formation, and the guns were straight and shining.

At this critical time, Li Rijing and others sent a signal to turn over and get on the horse. Li Rijing whipped his horse fiercely, kicked his legs, and took the lead in rushing down the hill into the enemy formation. Meng Er launched stupidly and ferociously, whipped several times, held a double hammer, screamed, and ran all the way. More than 50 cavalrymen rushed down the mountain in a line, and quickly slaughtered into the hands of a large group of crossbows, splashing a large amount of blood.

The infantry in the front of the Western Navy found that there were cavalry advancing behind, and the formation immediately became chaotic, and the cavalry of the forbidden army in front took the opportunity to cross the pikemen and enter the formation.

Li Rijing held a spear in his hand, rushed down the hillside, knocked over the three archers with one shot, rushed into the formation, hung the spear on the saddle, drew his long sword and slashed around; Meng Er's stupid two sledgehammers knocked over five crossbowmen, smashed his head on the head, smashed more than ten people in a row, and jumped off the horse, spun left and right, and hit several people in succession; Chang Haoxue held up his spear, and the nearby crossbowmen who were killed, scattered, ran away with various moves such as blocking, taking, sliding, piercing, splitting the gun, and sweeping the gun; When Wang Gou'er entered the battle with a spear, he poked two people in a row, but the spear was not grasped tightly, and it was directly ejected, so he had to draw out his long sword and cut it left and right; Fang Xu held a halberd and flew like the wind, more than ten people couldn't get around, and one fell down from time to time.

Seeing thousands of cavalry fighting in and out of the bow and crossbow array, the infantry of the Western Navy was too small to resist, and after a while, they suffered heavy losses, so they had to shout and run up the mountain. It was inconvenient for the cavalry to go up the mountain, so they had to hand over the remnants of the defeated army to the infantry in the rear to be eliminated, and each of them waved their banners, turned their horses' heads, and ran to the right flank of the western navy.

The two armies and the Western Navy are not the central forces, so they are not equipped with a large number of ironclad cavalry, so they rushed several times against the neat spear formation of the forbidden army, and the spear formation did not move at all. The Western Sea cavalry was forced to retreat and block the cavalry of the Central Forbidden Army on the right flank.

Feng Ruyu saw from a distance in the formation that the cavalry on the left flank had just rushed to the foot of the mountain and stopped, and a large group of cavalry was grouped, and occasionally the cavalry fell off their horses, and it was expected that they would encounter a large number of crossbowmen. Seeing dozens of cavalry turning around the mountain and climbing up, he smiled slightly, turned around and ordered the guards: "Wait a minute, bring the leader of that group of cavalry." Then he saw the cavalry of the Western Navy rushing behind the cavalry on the left flank, and turned his head and ordered the herald: "The infantry on the left flank will attack, the cavalry will retract, and the cavalry on the right flank will attack." ”

The cavalry on the left flank of the forbidden army was preparing to attack the infantry on the right flank of the West Lake Army, when they suddenly received an order that the enemy cavalry was coming from behind. The West Lake Army starts from the west, the soldiers are strong, but the armor is insufficient, and most of the equipment is two-gear armor, while the Central Forbidden Army is not far from Xihaizhou, but the combat style is very different, the soldiers are gentle, the armor is tight and hard, and the layers of scale armor are very well protected.

At this time, the cavalry of the forbidden army and the cavalry of the West Sea were killed together, Li Rijing and others picked up their spears and aimed them at the chest of the Western Navy, and the sound of killing shook the sky and charged away. The two armies intersected, and the cavalry opposite Li Rijing was a man about thirty years old, who rushed over with a roar while raising his saber. Li Rijing wondered if he also had a verbose old man like my father at home, whether he had a wife like Hongyue or already had children. But there was no time to think about Hongyue's crimson face and fat, Li Rijing took a shot in his hand and pierced the man's chest, and when he intersected with his corpse, the blood that burst out was smeared. The spear had penetrated the enemy's chest, splattered with blood, and the handle was too slippery to pull out. But the next cavalryman came one after another with a spear, and Li Rijing had no time to draw his spear, so he had to draw his long sword and put it back on the back of his head. When the two horses were a few meters away, Li Rijing slashed his sword downward, while trying to lower his body to avoid the spear. Feeling the blood burst out, Li Rijing's long sword cut off the horse's leg of the cavalryman. Led by inertia, the Western Sea cavalry threw himself to the ground, and was unfortunately trampled to death by the hooves of another cavalryman.

After the cavalry on both sides crossed and hedged, the cavalry of the forbidden army found that their infantry had rushed to support, so they were ready to turn back and fight again to drag the Xihai cavalry, but found that the other party was not in love with war, and ran away without looking back.

At this time, an order came from his side, and the left flank retreated to its own position.

At this time, in the main formation of the Central Forbidden Army, Feng Ruyu fanned her fan slightly, as if she was indifferent to the battle in front of her. After a while, the herald came to report: "The cavalry on the right flank has repeatedly clashed with the enemy's spears, and the enemy is invulnerable, and I am asking for reinforcements!" The left flank army has retreated to its positions. ”

Feng Ruyu: "Order the cavalry on the right flank to retreat, and Mingjin to collect the troops!" ”

Left and right guards: "Boss, will Mingjin be hunted down by the rebels of the West Sea now?" ”

Feng Ruyu: "No, this is a military aircraft, don't ask!" ”

The guards on the left and right had to shut up, and no one dared to say a word again

Coincidentally, Zhou Tianshuo of the Western Navy did not lead his troops to pursue, and slowly retreated to the capital of Nanshan Prefecture to station.

However, since then, the two armies have been at peace with each other, and there has been no major war.

After Li Rijing and the others returned to the barracks, a guard came towards them.

Guards: "How many of you led people around the enemy's rear?" ”

Fang Xu: "It's us, may I ask what the mission is."

"You don't have to go back to the camp first, the commander wants to see you, come with me" After speaking, the pro-guard turned around and left.

Li Rijing and the others hurriedly followed, and listened to Wang Gou'er's whispered discussion: "Hey, the boss's personal guards are spirited, and the armor they wear is so beautiful, you see, his matching sword is also inlaid with a piece of jade!" Meng Er was stupid: "Really, it would be nice if I could pry it off." Chang Haoxue: "As far as your point of interest, I haven't heard of a gentleman who loves money and takes it in a good way!" Fang Xu: "You guys really like it, I'll give you one when I go back." Wang Gou'er and Meng Ersil: "Okay, good!" That's it! ”

Li Rijing listened to them and shook his head. When I looked up, I was almost in front of the big tent, and I saw two columns of hundreds of white-clothed and white-armored tent men lining up on both sides of the tent holding Fang Tian's painting halberd, and more than 20 personal guards at the door of the big tent were on both sides, which was really majestic and beautiful.

I saw the guards come forward and wait outside the tent: "Boss, I brought those cavalry." ”

"Oh, bring it in."
