Chapter 25: The Battle to the Death (Part II)

Su Yun said angrily and painfully: "Half a month ago, Sima Yun, the governor of Yanzhou, asked me to go to Qi County to check the situation of the government soldiers there. Who knew that before he arrived in Qi County, he was attacked by a group of mountain bandits, and he was in danger, but it happened that a team of black knights helped him to save his life. I thought they were my saviors, but they were the jackals watching in the dark. On the second night of our journey to Qi County, I had a drink with their leader in a small town shop because they had saved my life. I went to the toilet in the middle of the night and heard their secret plan. ”

"Zhao Xi, do you know how the state government soldiers are arranged?"

Although Zhao Yi didn't know why Su Yun asked this, he still replied: "The three of the captains and the soldiers and horses are in charge. ”

Su Yun said: "Yes, there are laws in the imperial court, and the three captains, left and right soldiers and horses are in charge." Yanzhou is on the border, and in addition to the Longxiang army, there are also government soldiers. There are five counties in Yanzhou, one thousand in each county, and two thousand in Yanzhou City, a total of seven thousand, which can replenish the losses of the Long Xiang army at any time. Of the 7,000 men, 2,000 were in charge of the left and right soldiers and horses, and 3,000 were lieutenants. If you want to mobilize all the men and horses, the captain is the main one, and you need the arrows of three people. Zhou Jun and I were in charge of the 500 soldiers in Yanzhou City and 1,000 in other counties, and the commander was under the jurisdiction of 1,000 in Yanzhou City and 1,000 in the other two counties. That night, I learned that these black knights were not trying to save me, but wanted the arrows in my hand. After they pretended to be mountain bandits and killed more than 50 of my guards, they didn't find the arrow they wanted, so they wanted to send me to Qi County, and after I checked the government soldiers and took out the arrow, they would try to get it. ”

"What annoyed me even more was that the other party seemed to be related to the Bo Du Ya tribe, so I and the remaining five guards fled in the dark and were chased here by the other party. Running all the way, my five guards led each other away several times, and I was in charge of my long time dead. ”

"Wait, you said you fled all the way from Qi County here? Why don't you go to the county seat of Qixian or Yanzhou? Lin Luo asked puzzled.

Su Yun said helplessly: "Since the other party dares to attack in Qi County, it means that there are people from them in Qi County, I went, I'm afraid that I will be taken down before I reach the government camp." What's more......"

"The important thing is that Lord Su suspects that the commander or the right soldier and horse envoy are the masterminds, so he doesn't dare to go to Yanzhou." Zhao Yi said.

Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "You guessed right, I do suspect so, two hundred black-clothed knights, horses on horseback, superior weapons, can be in Yanzhou without being interrogated, except for these two, I really can't think of anyone?" ”

"Then Master Su is going to go there for help?"

"I was going to go to Jizhou and ask the governor of Youzhou for help, but now it seems that it must have ended up without a problem, because I have no evidence. The Governor of Youzhou is now busy with the affairs of the Wei Chamber, and he will not make a big deal about my uncertain matter. Su Yun said distressedly.

"Where did Lord Su put the arrow? Could it be that the adults went to check that the government soldiers did not bring the arrows? Zhao Hai asked.

"Of course, if you bring it, if you don't bring an arrow to check and mobilize government soldiers, it is a violation of military discipline. When I was attacked by bandits, I was afraid that the arrows would be taken by the thieves, after all, sometimes the arrows were better than my own. I put the arrow in the carcass of a dead horse, and buried it with the help of the black knight. Originally, after the black knight rescued me, I planned to take it out, but I didn't know the origin of the other party, so I didn't take it out, and I planned to bring someone to pick it up after I arrived in Qi County, but fortunately I didn't take it out at that time. I don't know what's going on in my home? ”

After listening to what Su Yun said, Zhao Yi thought of Steward Zhao's words, and speculated that what he said was true, and his guess was also true.

"My lord, here they are!" Ten minutes later, the sentinels heading to the east brought back the last thing they wanted to hear.

"How many of them are? How far is it from here? Zhao Zhengse asked.

"Lord Hui, the other party is close to three hundred people, just like the previous one, three miles away from here, the other party also found me, but they didn't chase me." The sentinel replied.

"It seems that they do not look down on us, let the brethren prepare for battle, the infantry pikemen prepare, remember, we must all come out and receive, we have no shields, only the small trench in front of us and the traps around us to slow down the opponent, and assassinate the other party with a forest of guns. Zhao Hai, you are in front, Xu He, you are on the left, Lin Luo, you are on the right, hold your territory. Zhao Yi ordered.

It turned out that Zhao Yi saw that there were few cavalry on his side and that the foot soldiers had no defensive weapons, so he asked the soldiers to dig a horse pit around him, and a passage ten meters wide flowed in front of him, but on the passage, there were also three simple trenches that were one meter wide and one foot deep. If it weren't for the tight time, Zhao Yi would have dug more, and the only good news he got was that the other party didn't have a crossbow, maybe he was afraid that Su Yun would be suspicious, so there was no large-scale configuration, and of course, it was possible that the other party didn't. In addition, he also got dozens of wooden shields in Lijiazhen, and forcibly equipped the foot soldiers with a defensive object.

"As long as you hold on for half an hour, we will have reinforcements arrive, and then we will kill him." Lin Luo, Zhao He and others began to encourage the soldiers.

Zhao Yi also rode a white horse, wearing a red cloak, and stood quietly on a small dirt hill no more than twenty people high, looking at the east side.

"Knock knock!"

With the sound of horses' hooves, a black cloud rose from the eastern horizon, although it was only a small mass, but it gave everyone a strong sense of oppression.

Three hundred black-clothed knights with smoke and dust stopped a hundred meters in front of Zhao Xian, looking at each other quietly, and for a moment everyone felt that the air in the middle didn't seem to be flowing.

Seeing that the other party did not move at all, but someone on his side was trembling, Zhao Xi couldn't help but sigh secretly: I really dare not compare, the real strong soldiers are killed, not trained.

"Why, Commander Zhao is not satisfied with his own people?" Su Yun saw Zhao Yi shaking his head and asked in a low voice.

Zhao Yi said with a smile: "It's not that I'm not satisfied, some of them used to be mountain bandits, and some of them were farmers, but they only trained for more than ten days, and they were able to stand here and not escape, I was already very satisfied, but I just felt that they were too bad with others, and they couldn't become elite soldiers just by training." ”

"They only trained for ten days? It's incredible. Su Yun said in surprise.

Zhao Yi didn't speak, quietly looked at the black-clothed knight opposite, seeing that the other party didn't speak, he was naturally happy to be like this, it was best to delay for half an hour, and then he would not be afraid of the other party, the soldiers in the cottage were equipped with swords, guns and wooden shields, as well as the two iron balls with sharp thorns.

Tang Ming, the leader of the black knights, was also speculating about the origin of the other party at this moment, and after he learned that the target was rescued by the other party, and the most elite thirteen eagles under his command were gone, he went straight over. Now when I saw the weapons of the Thirteen Eagles on the opposite hill and riding the war horses of the Thirteen Eagles, I knew that the Thirteen Eagles had been killed.

"My lord, shall we rush over there?" Wang Feng, the deputy leader, saw that the commander did not move, so he said.

Tang Ming said: "Wang Feng, you said that you want to kill the Thirteen Eagles, how many people do we need?" ”

"Thirty people don't die, kill thirteen eagles, but some will be injured." Wang Feng replied.

"They killed the Thirteen Eagles."

"That's because there are a lot of them, two hundred people against thirteen people, and the thirteen eagles are definitely not opponents." Wang Feng knew what Tang Ming meant.

"But there's another town next door."

"Leave a hundred men to defend the town, and two hundred men are enough to destroy the other party." Wang Feng said proudly.

"Okay, I'll give you two hundred men, and you take them down for me." Tang Ming ordered.

Wang Feng waved his spear, and two hundred knights came straight to Xiaotu Mountain. "Array! Obey the word! ”

"The little dirt ditch also wants to stop me." Wang Feng looked at the three soil ditches in front of him and said disdainfully.

"Bang bang!"

The knights on the left and right fell to the ground, and then they were trampled to death by the horses behind them.

"Damn, there's a trap here!" The galloping black knights cursed and restrained the galloping horses, but how could the fast-moving horses stop so easily, and there were other knights following closely behind. In just a dozen seconds, thirty horses on both sides fell into the trap and tripped over, and more than thirty knights were basically damaged, only a few were not trampled to death, but they could not fight.

"Damn, these people are so treacherous, they actually got into a horse pit in the annex!" Wang Feng scolded angrily.

"I finally understand why you started digging shallow pits in front of you, instead of trapping horses, so that the other party only wanted to pay attention to your front and not to investigate the surrounding terrain." Su Yun said to Praise with an approving gaze.

Due to more than 30 people tripped over the horse pit, Wang Feng in front couldn't help but slow down, it was originally a slope, plus a high and a low soil pit, which made its speed even slower.

"First column ready." Zhao Hai saw the approaching knight and shouted loudly.

"Thorn!" "Poof!"

Fifteen spears stabbed at the slow-moving knights, and on the ten-meter passage, only eight knights could pass through the battle-friendly ones.

"Close!"

Fifteen spears were drawn at the same time, and the knight on the horse fell to the ground with a bang, blood gushing out. Two of the fifteen people were also slashed, not because the other party broke through the gun formation, but when the other party was stabbed, he threw out the long knife in his hand. But fortunately, these two people are only hands, not dead or disabled. The two stabbed at one person, even if the other party had a small round shield of fine iron, they couldn't resist it.

"Second column, thorns!"

The first column quickly retreated, and after the second column was inserted, it quickly stabbed the spear in the hand, and at the same time raised its shield to block the slashing long knife. Fifteen people, two stabbed at a target, basically and surely, especially after being stabbed off the horse first, the horse did not fall, it was still in place, the long knife in the hand of the knight behind could not cut the body of the spearman, but the spearman stabbed the knight in the waist and abdomen.

"Close!"

"Poof!" Zhao Hai felt that there was no sound better than stabbing on the enemy's body at this moment, watching the knights fall off their horses by the stabs of their subordinates, Zhao Hai's previous loss caused by defeat was swept away.
