Chapter 147: Jumping Flames [3]

When the almost unsuspecting pikemen meet the cavalry who can reach speeds of more than 30 kilometers per hour, the result is so tragic! In particular, the weight of the war horse is not light. Although the horses of the Song Dynasty were relatively short, there was no problem with an ordinary horse weighing 700 catties, and a cavalryman weighing 140 catties was the norm, plus armor, vest, spear, sabre, bow and arrow, saddle or something, the weight reached '900 catties +' is no problem at all!

When the charging horse comes into contact with the pikeman, the visual impact is so striking. It's like a mud truck crashing into a motorcycle. It can only be described in two words - rolling! Absolutely rolling!

Seven-foot-long spears arrived first, and these spears were different from the standard spears of the Song army, but Zhao Yu had the blacksmith build them alone. Imitated in the West, the spearhead is a conical steel one foot and four inches long, and the tip of the spear is concave and triangular shape. Once you are stabbed, it will be difficult for the wound to heal.

The sharp spear sliced through butter as easily as a chaotic pikeman's body.

When they felt that the strength was too great, the cavalry released their spears in time, but there were still four cavalrymen who were a little nervous, and their arms were dislocated under the rebound force, not to mention, and they also fell off their horses.

It's just that no one has time to take care of them at this time, Zhao Yu threw down his riding spear, pulled out his waist knife and chopped. The lethality of the waist knife is not as great as that of the riding spear, but the waist knife is much better to use than the riding spear, at least there is no need to be afraid of rebound.

The war horse crashed into the pikeman, and the pikeman flew up, and the war horse may just feel a little stuffy pain in his chest and shook the horse's head. The pikeman, on the other hand, had a noticeable depression in his chest, and he spat blood and fell to the ground, rolling several times before he stopped castration.

It was just an internal wound on his chest, which obviously told the others that the long weapon was no longer alive. Although he did not die immediately, he was only barely breathing.

Zhao Yu and his cavalry only launched a single charge, and the pikemen collapsed, leaving hundreds of corpses on the ground. Blood was sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, forming a thin pool of water.

In fact, it's no wonder that the pikemen are so vulnerable, it's really that they are too powerless against the cavalry in a state of charge! The three wounded of the Shengjie army were still injured because they were not careful, and the cavalry gave the pikemen the feeling that they were invincible and demonic, how could they make the pikemen muster up courage?

"The Great Song is mighty! Mighty! ”

The soldiers of the Song army who were holding on to the city wall cheered thunderously, and although the Mengshan thieves were scheming, they could not change the fact. In the end, the Mengshan thieves are peasants and bandits who have turned soldiers. It's okay to fight with the wind, but once you encounter something unexpected, you immediately become panicked. After all, they are water without a source and a tree without roots, and the Song army has the capital to be injured and killed in battle, because there is an official government behind them to clean up the aftermath for them, not to mention how much the pension is, but no matter how you say it, there will be dozens of times.

On the other hand, what if the little minion of the Mengshan bandit is injured? That's a lot of worry, not to mention the lack of doctors and medicines, and you have to be afraid of being abandoned by the team. The death was even more miserable, and perhaps there was no one to collect the body.

The Monte bandits retreated!

Of course, it was just to get out of the city gate, and this retreat was obviously to save strength for the next attack, not to be afraid of Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu left Li Lizhong to stay at the city gate, which was not only the only way for the iron armor to enter Muling Pass, but also the only way for Zhao Yu to retreat.

Zhao Yu met the guard of Muling Pass on the city tower, a middle-aged man named Niu Dongan.

Seeing Zhao Yu, Niu Dongan's face turned pale, and his lips trembled a few times, and then he squeezed out such a sentence. "The last general will see the prince!"

Zhao Yu also understood Niu Dong'an's complicated thoughts about himself, on the one hand, he was grateful for Zhao Yu's source, but on the other hand, he was also afraid of being held accountable.

However, Niu Dong'an thought too much, and Zhao Yu was in no mood to punish Niu Dong'an now. "Niu Dong'an, you tell me! What the hell is going on? Why do you only have less than fifty people here? Don't tell this king that the thieves are so powerful, and only half of the men and horses of your battalion are killed! ”

Niu Dong'an breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and explained with a wry smile: "Lord Wang, you don't know anything. There was a battalion stationed in the town of Muling, but that was a month ago. After Cheng Jingluo Xianggong was defeated by the Mengshan bandits, Jingluo Xianggong transferred two people from Muling Town. In fact, Muling Town only has three troops, more than 210 people! ”

Nima's! It's a big pit!

Zhao Yu originally thought that there were at least 400 people in Muling Pass, even if some were defeated, how could Niu Dong'an now have 200 people. Coupled with the well-equipped 300 ironclad soldiers, not to mention guarding the north gate, it is not impossible to counterattack Muling Pass.

"Withdraw!" Zhao Yu roared angrily.

At this time, Niu Dongan plucked up the courage and said: "Lord Wang, you can't withdraw!" ”

"Why can't you withdraw? This Mengshan thief is said to have 2,000 people! The king's iron armor is only 300 people, although the north gate is a city wall, but it is a defense outside, there is no defense of the inner city, you teach this king how to defend here? Zhao Yu couldn't wait to kill Niu Dong'an with one knife now, and he was still chattering at this time.

Niu Dong'an hurriedly explained: "Lord Wang, the last general is not afraid of asking for guilt, but the last general and all the families of his subordinates are in Muling Town!" Mengshan thieves do all kinds of evil, if they don't rescue their families, what kind of treatment will they receive, not to mention the general, the prince should also know! ”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth when he heard this, and after a long time, not half of the words came out of his mouth. Because Zhao Yu himself didn't know what to say at this moment.

Needless to say, what kind of thieves are Mengshan thieves, it is normal to burn, kill and loot, their families lose not only money and food, but also their wives and daughters, and if they encounter perverts, maybe even their mothers who are thirty or forty years old or their seven or eight-year-old daughters will not escape the clutches.

Zhao Yu had a headache, he looked at the eyes of the other soldiers, and he already knew that they were unwilling to abandon their families and run away. Does Zhao Yu want to abandon these soldiers?

If you don't abandon it and stay, how can you keep the north gate?

And what will the soldiers under his command think of themselves? After all, they trust their own stay, and their compassion allows them to lose their lives.

How should you choose?
