Chapter 288: Horse Bandit Night Attack (Part II)
Looking at these horse bandits who didn't even want war horses and fled in a hurry, Zhao Xiaoxi stretched out his hand to signal to stop shooting. But it was not the same as before, ordering other infantry guards to clean up the battlefield with twice as many corpses as before.
After two rounds of horse bandits, the trap nails that had been scattered earlier were almost covered by the corpses. Instead of taking the time to clean up, it would be better to just pile the bodies there. Even if there were still disabled horse bandits, they would not escape death.
Keep your eyes on the horse bandits watching not far away, and look at the brigade of hundreds of horse bandits. Zhao Xiaoxi is also waiting for the appropriate time to attack, if what he expected is not bad, the other yin move he prepared should also start to work.
Looking at the two horse bandit leaders who fled back, the three horse bandit leaders who pressed the formation, their eyes were a little darker than before. He attacked again, and before he could even reach the resistance of the Lord, he lost more than three hundred men.
And the other party did not seem to have much to lose except for the loss of some bows and arrows, which made the horse bandits who were used to bullying the robbers embarrassed. Although he really wants to annex these two remnants, it is not good to do it on the spot here.
After listening to the accounts of the two surviving horse bandit leaders, after two rounds of watching the battle, they already knew this Dali horse team. It seems that the three big leaders who are hard bones also seem very aggrieved. Obviously, a big piece of fat meat is placed on the side of the mouth, but there are thorns on it!
Just as the five leaders dismounted, discussing how to attack next. Many horse bandits suddenly felt that something seemed wrong with their war horses. From time to time, the sycophants squirted out, and even began to emit some foul smell.
This kind of situation of sparse war horses is undoubtedly the situation that the knights are most worried about. In this kind of horse warfare, the health of the war horses is directly related to whether their lives are guaranteed.
At first, when they saw some of the horses starting to fart and pull their heads, the horse bandits thought it was normal. Often away from home, it is normal for a war horse to have one or two strain. But gradually the stench of the whole camp. It's getting thicker and thicker!
The horse bandits, who felt that something was wrong with the situation, also seemed a little flustered. But worse can follow. Some horse bandits who are accustomed to drinking raw water suddenly feel that their stomachs are ringing.
Greeted the leader in a panic, and ran to the side to take off his pants in the dark, but found that his stomach was not stopping. It didn't take long. The whole person was pulled by diarrhea, and his hands and feet were soft. There are even some who can't get up if they squat down directly.
As one of the small leaders felt that the situation was not right, they reported it to several of the five leaders who were discussing how to attack. These can also be described as veteran leaders, and they immediately realized that they were yin. These war horses had been gnawing grass in the resting ground before!
Looking at the horses that began to lie on their stomachs, the five leaders finally realized the danger. But just when their complexions changed greatly, smelling the stench sent by the wind, Zhao Xiaoxi seemed very happy.
Duan Yu, who was watching the battle behind him, said, "Third brother, it's our turn to fight back!" ”
I don't understand where Zhao Xiaoxi's confidence comes from. Soon he followed with the guards around him on horseback. Except for Mu Wanqing, these girls were ordered by Zhao Xiaoxi to stay in the camp, and a few more archers were put to defend the passage.
The rest of the guards and the Dali guards around Duan Yu were all ready to go. This team of less than 100 people wants to fight back against nearly 1,000 horse bandits on the other side, and it looks a little suspicious of looking for death!
Looking at Duan Yu and Ba Tianshi's confusion, Zhao Xiaoxi said very happily: "Third brother." Baskong, rest assured. They are powerless to resist. What awaits us is a toothless wolf. We'll know it in the past! ”
With Zhao Hyo-seok ordering the departure, along the passage guarded by archers, this cavalry team of less than a hundred people. Unexpectedly, he broke out of the defensive circle and came to the gathering place of the panicked horse bandits.
Looking at the horse bandit camp, many war horses are lying on their stomachs. It also smelled of a foul smell. Duan Yu and Ba Tianshi immediately realized that there was something wrong with the other party's war horse. Without the war horses, these horse bandits really don't have anything to worry about.
Knowing that Zhao Xiaoxi and others were killed, the five panicked commanders also knew that they had fallen for each other's tricks. Gather some of the horse bandits who survived. The team is still several times more than Zhao Xiaoxi and others.
Feeling that Zhao Xiaoxi and the others were killing themselves, the five horse bandits who were not recruited immediately commanded the other horse bandits who were not recruited, and came to Zhao Xiaoxi and others to cover up. If you don't fight back, those horse bandits who are recruited will only have to wait to be shot.
Looking at the team that the other party was covering up, Zhao Xiaoxi raised the iron gun in his hand and said very calmly: "Ranger formation!" Scatter! ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Xiaoxi took the lead and ran the war horse towards the periphery of the opponent's camp. The rest of the guards also followed, replacing their weapons with bows and arrows, ready to scatter the rangers.
Duan Yu, who stayed by Zhao Xiaoxi's side, also felt that compared to Zhao Xiaoxi's command and combat ability. He, the future son of Dali, really needs to learn in this regard.
As the horse teams of the two sides began to enter the firing range, Zhao Xiaoxi shot the iron arrow in his hand. The horse bandits who rushed into the range were shot under the horse, and the rest of the guards who followed behind also fired their bows one after another.
This kind of ranger scattering that the elite cavalry of Fanbang is accustomed to must require the cavalry to master exquisite riding skills, as well as extraordinary archery skills. In order to do this, in this kind of wandering ejaculation, the living force of the Lord is slowly consumed.
Zhao Xiaoxi, who kept circling around the horse bandit gathering place, looked at the angry horse bandit chasing soldiers, but felt very happy. Compared with the archery skills of these horse bandits, the archery skills of these armed guards around him are undoubtedly beyond them.
Coupled with their war horses, which are also high-quality war horses, they recuperated before setting off. Running, far beyond the horse bandits' war horses can catch up, hanging these horse bandits from afar, constantly harvesting the lives of these pursuers.
For the first time, I felt that it was a mistake to rob these people, and the horse bandits also felt bitter in the center of this pursuit. You know, these horse bandits are the capital of their survival, without these horse bandits, how can they be leaders in the future?
The more they fought, the more frightened they became, and the more they chased them, the more frightened they were, and the speed of their riding slowed down significantly. But they didn't want to chase them, so Zhao Xiaoxi led the team and followed them to kill them. This scene looks very weird.
is obviously the side with many people, but it has become the party that is hunted down. Some horse bandits who had dealt with the Xixia Iron Harriers suddenly felt that the ability of these Dali cavalry could only be competed with by those Xixia Iron Harriers!
Provoke the cavalry who can compete with the Iron Harrier, and they are really dizzy. Who doesn't know that those Iron Harrier cavalry are really elite who can fight one against ten! But they were carried away by the gold, silver and jewelry.
I didn't know that the horse bandit was frightened, and shouted directly: "They are demons, run away!" ”
One person began to choose to escape, and the other horse bandits who also spared their lives were naturally not to be left behind, and began to flee in all directions with all their might. Even if the bandit leader shouted, these bandits who were bent on fleeing ignored it.
For them, survival is the first rule of survival. Tonight's sneak attack battle is already doomed. If you continue to stay here, sooner or later you will be killed by the iron arrow that the other party asks for your life, it is better to escape as soon as possible.
As for the horse bandits who lost their horses, these fleeing horse bandits can only wish them a life. Anyway, the thought of 'dead poor people are not as good as dead friends' has been magnified countless times at this moment.
In the previous pursuit, two more bandit leaders were unfortunately shot. The three surviving horse bandit leaders, seeing this situation of defeat like a mountain, finally had no power to return to the sky, so they could only choose to flee separately.
Even these ordinary horse bandits know that as long as they save their lives, they will have a chance to make a comeback. As their leader, how could they not know this? So, it's imperative to run away!
Looking at these fleeing horse bandits, Zhao Xiaoxi, who had a large number of them, immediately divided the pursuing team into three groups. Focusing on the pursuit, the small cavalry units that accompanied the bandit leader on his flight.
As for the horse bandits who have lost their horses and are still waiting to be rescued. Seeing that he was abandoned, he couldn't care less about having only two legs. began to scatter joy and flee in all directions. If they wait for Zhao Xiaoxi's cavalry to return, they really have only one way to die.
Mu Wanqing and the others, who had been staying in the camp to watch the battle, could hardly imagine that tonight would be such a scene. Obviously, in their opinion, the horse bandits, who obviously had the upper hand in strength, became the target of Zhao Xiaoxi's slaughter at will.
Whether they wanted to figure it out or not, at least they knew they had won. Kill these abominable bandits, and they should be able to get to sleep. The taste of being stared at by a group of vicious wolves is naturally very uncomfortable!
Looking at the horse bandits who were allowed to be slaughtered, Duan Yu and the Dali guards did not expect the situation to be like this. But the superb riding and archery skills of Zhao Xiaoxi and his subordinates really shocked them too much.
Even Ba Tianshi felt that if Dali's cavalry ran into Zhao Xiaoxi and his men in the future, the fate would probably not be much better than that of these horse bandits. Such elite cavalry is enough to compete with the elite cavalry of Fanbang!
As Duan Yu, who didn't want to kill this kind of powerless horse bandit, he gave the order to surrender and not kill. Those horse bandits who were unable to flee, as if they had picked up a life, threw away the swords in their hands one after another, and were gathered together by the Dali guards.
By the time Zhao Xiaoxi and his guards returned, Duan Yu had already taken the still alive horse bandits into custody. It's just that in the face of many of them pulling paralyzed horse bandits, Duan Yu also looked very helpless.
After his return, Zhao Xiaoxi looked at the hundreds of war horses lying on his stomach, as well as dozens of horse bandits who drank raw water at night. Soon let his subordinate guards find Ah Zi, who caused this tragedy.
When the battle was over, Mu Wanqing and the others were also curious about why Zhao Xiaoxi called Ah Zi over. As a result, the rest of the girls were curious to follow Wu Wei and ride out of the camp to the camp where the horse bandits were held.
Looking at these hundreds of dejected horse bandits, as well as those war horses that were unable to lie on their stomachs, these girls also felt very curious. I don't understand, how can these horse bandits have so many sick horses at once?
When they thought of what Ah Zi was good at, they suddenly understood. It seems that in tonight's offensive and defensive battle, Ah Zi also has a lot of credit. This may be the reason why Cho Hyo-seok called her! (To be continued......)
