Chapter 146: Jumping Flame [2]

Seeing the firelight, Li Lizhong and Zhao Yingwu were really worried about Zhao Yu's safety.

After discussion, Zhao Yingwu continued to set off with the iron armor. However, Li Lizhong was the first to rush over with a relatively fast cavalry, and the number of cavalry was not large, and there were only forty-five cavalry, including Li Lizhong.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Lizhong saw the corpses lying on the official road, Li Lizhong's heart tightened, and he secretly prayed in his heart, Lord Wang! Don't let anything happen to you! It wasn't until Zhao Yu came out of hiding that Li Lizhong breathed a sigh of relief. Why slightly? Because Zhao Yu is still covered in blood, but they are all those sneak attackers, but Li Lizhong doesn't know. "Lord Wang, are you okay?"

Li Lizhong's voice trembled a little unconsciously.

Zhao Yu shook his head and laughed at himself: "It's just that there are some abrasions and bruises!" This armor ......"

patted the armor and made a crisp sound of the armor leaf clattering, Zhao Yu continued: "It's still very good, after I go back, I have to thank some imperial brothers for the reward!" ”

Li Lizhong's face was speechless, at this time, Lord Wang, do you still have the heart to care about this?

Zhao Yu looked at the cavalry who were sleepy and tired, and frowned when he landed, he asked the cavalry to come, not only to protect himself who was already weak in guard, but also because the situation in Muling Pass had become more and more critical at this time. Turning his head to look at the situation in Muling Pass, Zhao Yu knew that he had to make a choice. Without hesitating for too long, Zhao Yu had already made up his mind to awaken, gritted his teeth, and said, "Follow this king and set off!" Support Mulingguan! ”

After saying that, Zhao Yu immediately turned over and got on his horse and took the lead in setting off towards Muling Pass. Li Lizhong was unwilling, he knew what the state of his subordinates was now, but he had no choice but to follow Zhao Yu.

Seeing a group of cavalry rushing with torches, the officers and soldiers at the head of the city roared with joy.

The city gate had already been opened at this time, and in fact, it was no longer meaningful for the city gate to be opened without opening. Because the Mengshan thieves came from the south, and the east and west sides of Muling Pass were endless mountain ranges, it was impossible for the army to cross the mountains to the north gate.

The leader of the Mengshan bandits also knew that it was powerful, and hurriedly drove a group of rogue militia recruited about halfway to block the city gate. These outcasts are obviously cannon fodder, not to mention their ragged clothes, and the weapons in their hands are all simple weapons such as sharpened bamboo, hoes, and horse forks.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhao Yu shouted, and he took the lead in taking out the Hun bow from the saddle. The characteristic of the Xiongnu bow is that the bow body is unequal, with the bow as the center, the upper half should be larger, and the lower half should be shorter. This makes the Hun bow more powerful than the short bow used by the average cavalry, and of course, the cost of the Hun bow is also more expensive.

When more than 40 cavalrymen heard this, they immediately took out their Hun bows and bent their bows and arrows.

The militia were crowded at the gates, and when they saw the enemy bending their bows and arrows, they were scratching. It's just that their range of activity is too small, and it's too late to dodge.

"Whoosh! Sou! ……”

A wave of arrows shot out, and the piercing sound of breaking the sky was loud.

More than a dozen homeless people standing in front of them were immediately carried to the ground by the strength of the arrows. Shooting at close range, coupled with a little strength from the rapid movement of the warhorse, each arrow pierced through the weak body of the homeless.

Under the light of the jumping fire, blood was sprinkled on the ground and walls of the city gate cave, and the blood-red blood and fiery fire were so bewitching and charming.

The arrows didn't kill the outcasts immediately, and the sting made their faces contort into a terrible wail. Fear spread like a plague, and no one could resist him.

The outcasts have collapsed!

Zhao Yu rushed up, and the role of these homeless people was to be trampled on each other, and the cavalry used spears or sabers to harvest their lives one by one.

Some of them fell down in the escape, and before they could scream, they had been trampled into meat sauce with iron hooves by the horses that had caught up behind.

By the time the cavalry had passed, the cave had become a picture of hell on earth, and the ground was full of minced meat, and it was impossible to tell how many people had died in it. It's impossible to piece together a complete body! The blood splattered on the wall slowly flowed towards the ground under the action of gravity, but that strange flow gave people the illusion that this city gate cave was injured in the battle, and his wounds were bleeding.

The only thing that remained unchanged was the four torches inserted in the cave of the city gate, and the flames were still cheering and jumping in the night wind.

After killing and dispersing the homeless cannon fodder, Zhao Yu immediately saw a group of pikemen in the back who were arraying, about 300 people. This pikeman must be the elite of the Mengshan bandits, and the weapons in their hands are all the standard spears of the Song army, all of which are eight feet three inches long. This batch of spears was probably captured by Cheng Lin.

Zhao Yu secretly shouted good luck in his heart, if the team of homeless cannon fodder just now insisted for a longer time, it would not be too long for two or three minutes. When he breaks through the hole in the city gate, he is afraid that he will be in a dilemma. Even if the retreat is successful, it will have to pay a huge price of casualties to escape from Muling Pass.

Now it's a different story! The pikeman, though restrained from cavalry, had a necessary requirement. That's the array! Although the spear is long, it is precisely because of its length that the spear is easy to twist with other spears, and the pikemen in the other formations are a mess.

"Rush! Rush! Rush!!! ”

Zhao Yu roared as he clamped the horse's belly hard. The war horse neighed and sped up under the pain. The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone road of Mulingguan, and immediately made a crisp and rapid sound of horses' hooves.

"Tick! Tick! Tick! The sound of horses' hooves, like the sound of war drums, made people nervous involuntarily, and their blood boiled unconsciously.

"Rush!"

"Kill!"

Forty-six horsemen immediately increased their speed, and those who had a whip slapped their horses' buttocks with their weapons. Under the sting, the speed of the war horse increased rapidly.

When an ordinary war horse sprints at full speed, the speed can briefly reach a speed of thirty-seven or eight miles per hour. Even if Zhao Yu's team of cavalry is not all war horses, it is no problem for the burst speed to reach a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour during the sprint!

The pikemen were stunned, and they panicked to repel the enemy. It's just that people are like this, the more nervous they are, the more panicked they become, which makes things a mess.

Several spears were still twisted together, and some of them didn't know where to stand like headless flies.

Although the two sides have not yet engaged in battle, seeing this situation, reasonable people know that this group of pikemen is finished!
