Chapter 154: The Counterattack of the Shengjie Army [1]
The Meng Mountain Thieves didn't expect Zhao Yu to attack at this time. Because Zhao Yu's previous defense actions made them see it clearly. After all, it is impossible to carry out the defense under the black light, and it is not a strange thing to be detected by the Mengshan bandits.
Although a war broke out on the castle tower, the Mengshan bandits, who did not have much experience, did not feel too wary of this. On the contrary, they mistakenly believed that the official army had launched a small-scale attack because they had originally arrived and wanted to consolidate the castle tower. And the area below the city gate is actually still defensive.
When they found out that the Shengjie army suddenly launched a charge under the leadership of Zhao Yu, they were caught off guard!
The leader in charge of defending the main street had no choice but to order his minions to retreat while fighting. This order is good, and the starting point is also good, but the problem is that this leader has never thought of one thing, and that is the execution ability of his subordinates.
These minions had just fought a big battle, and they all went to the nearby houses to rest. Fortunately, many of these residents have already left, otherwise something shocking might have happened.
The armor and weapons on the body naturally have to be put aside, and the lightest leather armor is also thirteen or fourteen pounds. Resting in such armor is a great load on the body. In particular, the Mengshan thieves are rebels who rebel because of lack of food, and such a rebel nutritional supplement can be imagined, and they are naturally unwilling to wear armor and prepare for war all the time due to weak physical strength.
Of course, there are also people who don't wear armor in the first place. Question: What kind of soldier is that? To put it bluntly, he is just cannon fodder, how strong can such a soldier's will to fight be? If you think about it with your ass, you can get the answer quickly.
When the minions walked out of the houses in a panic, most of them didn't know, and some of them just hung the iron armor on the side of their arms, and the swaying iron armor made a crisp sound of the nail leaf hitting.
Such a voice often means mighty on the battlefield, but at this moment, with the image of this minion, it is so shocking to people's confidence.
"Kill!" Zhao Yu rode his horse and charged, and more than 40 cavalrymen hurriedly followed.
On horseback, Zhao Yu firmly stepped on the stirrups with his feet, his waist and arms were strong, and he bent his bow and arrows. "Whoosh!" With a bang, an arrow was already shooting out.
A minion who rushed out of the house didn't have time to react, he was already hit by an arrow in the door, screaming, and the person had already fallen to the ground, and after a few convulsions, he was silent.
This arrow seemed to be the sound of a horn to launch a general attack, and the cavalry behind immediately bent their bows and arrows, and more than forty arrows shot out vigorously. It's just that archery on horseback is more demanding than on the plains, not to mention the bumps on horseback, and the only place to borrow strength is the stirrup, and the stirrup is no matter how to say it, it is impossible to compare it with the solid flat land.
I don't want this Mengshan thief to be frightened by the arrows of the cavalry!
This is frightened, naturally it can't be caused by this wave of arrows. Rather, most of them participated in the previous charge against the city gates. Zhao Yu chose to use a bow and arrow against the enemy at that time, and threw seven or eight rounds of arrow rain, and it would be a lie to say in his heart that there was no fear at all.
Only thirty or forty people barely formed a queue in front of Zhao Yu that could barely be called a formation. However, it was very loose, and after Zhao Yu calmly shot a spearman, he rushed into the formation.
Alone! Just one person has cut this lineup apart. It's simple to make people wonder, this can't be military training, right?
Fear completely took over the mind, and reason routed. Along with reason, there are also the minions of the Mengshan bandits, and they are all busy turning around and running away. Armor and weapons, the most precious items on the battlefield, were discarded to the ground like dust by the minions.
It's just that these minions didn't think that even if they didn't have any weight on their bodies, they couldn't outrun the cavalry. What a stupid thing to sell the back to the cavalry in such a situation?
Zhao Yu only needed to clamp the horse's belly, and the war horse sped up and quickly caught up with a minion. With horsepower, all Zhao Yu needs to do is control the angle of the waist knife.
"Poof!"
What a strong visual impact it was, and you can imagine what it feels like to be driving a motorcycle and slashing through a person with a long knife in hand. Half of the body was cracked, revealing the internal organs and bones inside, and the sky was covered with piercing red blood.
The other cavalry all brandished their weapons and roared and charged, but the minions of the Mengshan bandits lost all their fighting spirit, they would just cry and run away, and no one could muster the courage to fight back. Even if the weapon is already close to them, the next moment they will lose their surname. A one-sided slaughter that no one expected appeared!
The leader of the Mengshan thieves didn't expect it, and Zhao Yu didn't expect it. After all, in Zhao Yu's mind, the first battle must be a tough battle, after all, the soldiers and horses arranged opposite him, as long as the leader of the Mengshan bandits is not stupid, he should know that the soldiers and horses with the best combat effectiveness are here.
In the end, Zhao Yu and his cavalry slaughtered more than 50 people, which ended the massacre. And Zhao Yu doesn't need to count, he can know that no one on his side is damaged. What a proud and terrifying achievement this is?
As for the Mengshan thieves, there were only more than 50 people killed, it was not that Zhao Yu was soft-hearted, but he only slaughtered more than 50 minions, let alone killed all the minions. But the minions are smarter, and they no longer run away on the main streets, but hide in houses, or run into alleys.
The size of the cavalry is placed here, and entering the narrow places of these places is not only difficult, but also dangerous. This is what a military strategist said about the cavalry at rest. "Neither of the cavalry can defeat a spearman if they lose their mobility! One-on-one, you will be easily killed by spearmen. ”
This sentence fully speaks of the influence of mobility on cavalry. Zhao Yu can't take risks, he has a total of more than 40 cavalry, each of which is his treasure, where can he afford to waste it? Can it withstand adventure?
Zhao Yingwu didn't have the regrets in Zhao Yu's heart, he now felt his blood boiling. It's amazing! The morale of the infantry was high, and they sang "Victory!" The slogan marched in a neat queue.
The three Muling guards all felt incredulous, and immediately led the way in front. They felt that they were heroes now, and even began to fantasize about how they would be welcomed after recovering Muling Pass. In it, beautiful women and flowers, as well as heartfelt praise from neighbors and friends, are indispensable.
Thinking of this, the three defenders couldn't help but quicken their pace, they longed for victory to come more quickly. He even thought that the next day he could enter any green house in the town with an empty money bag, be treated like a hero, and enjoy the graceful service of the unattainable beauty that made people's bones feel soft without paying a single copper coin.
