Closer, closer!

The Xiapi cavalry all clenched the swords and guns in their hands one by one, preparing for the next moment of hand-to-hand combat. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, when they were only a few dozen paces away from the opponent's cavalry formation, they watched the opponent's cavalry, led by the female general, gracefully make a turn, just passing by them, and of course, it was indispensable to attack with a rain of arrows.

Among the Xiapi cavalry, the adjutant general who served as the temporary commander was stunned, and he discovered a serious problem, the opposing cavalry could shoot arrows at high speed, and they only held sabers and spears in their hands.

How so? Could this be the world-famous White Horse Righteous Servant? Except for the White Horse Yicong and Hu Cai, I haven't heard of any cavalry in the Central Plains who will be so skilled in riding and shooting.

Of course, he wouldn't know that the characteristic of the Xuanjia Spirit Cavalry is running shooting, which is more powerful than simple riding and shooting.

[Rush: Cavalry shoots arrows at high speed, greatly increasing the strike range, and the hit rate is not affected]

What to do? What else can I do, I can only catch up and entangle. The lieutenant general also has some ability, at least the ability to command these hundreds of cavalry is enough, and he also took the cavalry to make a detour. It's just that compared to the Xuanjia Army, this bend is a bit big, of course, this can't be blamed for their poor riding skills, it is really too fast at the beginning of the impact, the inertia is too large, and they are not prepared, until they trample the Xin who will be trampled into flesh again, they completed the turn.

However, there is always a gap between ideas and reality.

When the lieutenant thought that he could start chasing the guts who could only shoot arrows and did not dare to hedge, they received another rain of arrows behind them.

It turned out that when they turned, the other party also turned, and embellished their tails.

The original cavalry hedge turned into a pursuit battle.

The lieutenant was almost broken, they couldn't reach others, but others could chase them and shoot arrows at will; They wanted to stick it, but they couldn't find a chance at all, and the cavalry of the other side seemed to be better than them, and the horses might be better; As for turning around directly, come on, this is cavalry, can you turn around on horseback like a person? I'm afraid that before it starts, the entire army will be in a mess and unable to move, and will be directly used as a live target by others.

Then there is only one way left, escape! Flee in the direction of the Futu Temple, where Xiapi Xiangrong is assembling a new team. As long as you get there, with the addition of a new force, you can have a dignified and happy decisive battle with the other party.

So the Xiapi cavalry resolutely fled to the Futu Temple under the leadership of the deputy general, and Hua Mulan was not in a hurry, but followed the Xiapi cavalry steadily, greeting with bows and arrows.

When I arrived outside the Futu Temple and saw the newly established infantry formation of Zhenrong, the Xiapi cavalry had been reduced to half.

The lieutenant breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly led his troops around the formation.

Zhen Rong gasped.

He didn't expect that his elite cavalry had more troops than the other party, but he was defeated so quickly and so badly that he didn't even see his nephew, but he couldn't care about his nephew's whereabouts at this time.

Zhenrong left a small number of troops in the Futu Temple, only about a hundred people, but there were many untrained Buddhist believers, he organized these people, distributed weapons and shields one by one, and lined up a strict infantry defense formation outside the Futu Temple.

Originally, Zhen Rong thought that he could resist the enemy with this advantage in strength, but now it seems that it is enough, not to mention the believers who have no combat experience at all, even the Danyang Iron Cavalry, which he considers to be an elite one, is not the opponent of the other party. It seems that you have to plan ahead.

"What about the believers?" Zhen Rong first asked the lieutenant general who came to his side.

"Singled out with the female general on the other side and was killed." The adjutant general bowed his head and replied, "The subordinates did not protect the son, please punish the lord!" ”

"Forget it, it's his life, it's none of your business." Zhen Rong suppressed the resentment in his heart and said, "The enemy is strong, and for the sake of today's plan, I can only defend it." I will hand over all the soldiers and horses here to your command, and try to delay as long as possible, and then I will gather troops elsewhere. Can? ”

"Subordinates obey!" The adjutant general was moved.

Zhen Rong nodded, patted the adjutant general's shoulder again, to show trust and encouragement, and then walked behind the infantry formation, and said loudly to those Buddhist believers: "Today, a thief soldier came to attack my Xiapi, but he really robbed me of my money and food, and robbed me of the treasures of the Buddhist family. The birthday of the Buddha is approaching, and if the thieves succeed, we will not be able to offer sacrifices to the Buddha. We are all disciples of the Buddha, how can we allow this tragedy to happen? For the sake of the Buddha, for the sake of the Buddha bathing society, we must vow to live and die with the Futu Temple! ”

"Buddha! Buddha! ”

"Co-exist and die! Co-exist and die! ”

In just a few words, the fanatical beliefs of those believers were mobilized.

Zhen Rong nodded with satisfaction, and after shouting a few more slogans with the believers, he quietly withdrew to the rear with dozens of guards.

He now has only two ways, one is to raise troops to drive Liu Miao away, and the other is to report to Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, so that Tao Qian can negotiate or fight with Liu Miao. But no matter which way it went, Zhen Rong had to give up Xiapi for the time being, because there was nothing he could do about it.

Except for a few generals on Di Rong's side, no one saw Di Rong leave here, and everyone who saw it thought that Di Rong had really gone to find reinforcements.

Mulan didn't notice this either, she was still having a headache about how to break these enemy soldiers. With the combat effectiveness of the Xuanjia Army, even if there are more than 1,000 enemy soldiers, it is not impossible to force a surprise attack, but she is worried that the loss will be too big to explain to Liu Miao. And the Xuanjia Army's best running shot is not very effective for the well-defended infantry formation, and the arrows carried by the Xuanjia Army will also run out.

Hua Mulan had no choice but to drag it along, and from time to time she stepped forward to harass her, generally waiting for Liu Miao's support.

As soon as Zhen Rong and his guards left the field of view of the battlefield of Futu Temple, he beat his horse and headed west, he had already thought about where to go.

He could guess that Liu Miao must have blocked the road to Tan County, Xuzhou, and Guangling County in the east was sparsely populated, and it was too far to detour to Tan County, and Jiujiang County in the south, unless he was looking for death, he would choose this direction, so the only thing left was Pengcheng in the west.

Zhen Rong still knows Peng Cheng well, after all, he has been supervising Peng Cheng's tax fortune. Pengchengguo has a total of only eight counties, much smaller than Xiapi country, Pengcheng Xiang Xue Li has not been treated by Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian, Tao Qian has repeatedly moved the idea of replacing Xue Li with cronies.

Zhenrong also has his plans to go to Pengcheng, first, he can transfer from Pengcheng to Tanxian, and second, he may be able to use Pengcheng to solve the problem of Xiapi, he believes that in the face of him, Tao Qian's absolute henchman, Xue Li will give some face.

With full expectations, Zhenrong met Pengcheng Xiangxue Li.
