Chapter 267: Iron Cavalry Makes a Forced Landing on Wang Maozhang

The light cavalry was still harassing Wang Maozhang's stacked formation, and the mounted iron cavalry was ready, they slowly lowered the demon mask on their helmets and picked up the heavy cavalry spears handed by the servants. This is different from the cavalry used by the light cavalry, this is a spear head cone, only the apex of the cone is wrapped with a layer of iron sheet, this is a pure armor-piercing, formation-breaking weapon. However, the disadvantage is also obvious, he can't use other attacks other than the stabbing attack.

Yuan Xingqin's war horse also put on a set of armor, as for himself, although Yuan Xingqin is not wearing a set of full-body plate armor, but as a general, his own armor is not bad, there are two layers, one layer of chain mail inside, and one layer of bright light armor with a lion embossed on the chest outside, so he just changed into a helmet with a demon mask.

"Let's go!" Yuan Xingqin waved his arm and roared through the demon mask.

The mounted iron rider is like a steam train that is starting, running slowly in small steps, but slowly people have the illusion that he has broken through the air and broken through time and space. The speed is getting faster and faster, the ice on the trees, the snow on the pine trees. Everything trembled with the trembling of the earth, like a restless little life under the iron hoof. Slowly, countless snowflakes lying on the pine trees were shaken off the ground, and the ice cubes hanging on the trees were constantly shaken down.

The Huainan army, which had never encountered such a situation, couldn't help but look at each other with a frightened face, because of the blocking of the light cavalry, they didn't know that all this was caused by the mounted iron cavalry.

"What for! Steady! Steady! Don't look around! Concentrate on the enemy! The roars of officers at all levels rose and fell in the battle formation, and Wang Maozhang also straightened his waist and rode on horseback, unusually calm. Probably due to the influence of Wang Maozhang's calmness, and the Huainan army gradually adapted to this kind of earth tremor, the Huainan army gradually stabilized.

But the light cavalry of the Iron Eagle Capital showed a deep irony on their faces, as well as that expectant look. It was as if he was longing to see a good show that was about to be staged, which cast a haze on Wang Maozhang's heart. But he has no choice, he is a general, he is a commander-in-chief, no matter what danger he encounters, he must be calm, he must lead by example.

Slowly, the light cavalry began to leave the range, as if they were afraid of the Huainan army's crossbows.

The officers of the Huainan Army immediately took the opportunity to boost their morale, "Rabbit cub, what are you afraid of!" You! Isn't it just the earth dragon turning over! Now Lu Long's gang of puppies are also afraid of us! Steady! Get through today, and we can go home happy! ”

The words "home" deeply stimulated the hearts of the soldiers of the Huainan Army, and they were all unprecedentedly firm, and there was nothing wrong with that! We're almost victorious, and we'll be able to go home after surviving the charge of those cavalry! We will succeed!

The morale of the Huainan army is unprecedentedly high, the soldiers are excited that they have repelled the enemy's light cavalry attack, and at the same time, they have also aroused their fighting spirit because of the word home, especially now that the New Year is approaching, who is not eager to go home and spend the New Year with their families!

However, when they saw the reason that made the earth tremble, all the soldiers of the Huainan Army couldn't help but feel a little more fear in their hearts.

The entrance is a piece of shining iron armor, which is even more brilliant on the snowfield. Only when the war horse was running, I could vaguely see the horse's hooves flying up and down from the stiff ground, and moving vigorously with steps. When you look at it from above, it looks like it's made of iron. There is no place on the body that is not iron, except for the two eyes of the war horse, and the white mist that constantly spews out from the mouth and nose, showing that they are still animals.

Looking up and looking up, there are all kinds of evil ghosts with blue teeth and red faces, red teeth and blue faces. Although he knew that he was pretending to be a human, he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and there was an unstoppable sense of fear for gods and ghosts in his heart.

"Reject the horse!" Although the officers at all levels were afraid in their hearts, they still did not forget their duties and roared loudly.

The soldiers immediately clenched their spears, sweat oozing from their palms even in the cold winter. The sharp tip of the spear, I don't know whether it was because of nervousness or because of the cold wind, trembled slightly in the soldier's field of vision.

Many soldiers, the sweat oozing from their foreheads had already fallen on their eyes, but they still didn't dare to raise their hands to wipe it. The tense atmosphere filled the air, as if the originally cold air had turned into stone, making people feel breathless.

"Don't worry! Support! Don't forget, we've repelled two attacks from the Lulong Dog! Guys are supporting! After surviving today, we can go home tomorrow! The officers picked up their horizontal knives and brandished them, cheering up with their slightly hoarse voices.

The soldier also kept encouraging himself in his heart, "It must be possible!" The cavalry of Lu Longgou have attacked twice, and they have not been repulsed by us! What are you afraid of! ”

"Brethren! We are not afraid of Wang Jian's 40,000 troops! Are you still afraid of a few hundred riders? Could it be that this is the soldier under the command of my king? Since entering Qilu, how many times have we won battles! Are you scared in the last battle home? Are you no longer fearless? Wang Maozhang didn't know when he rode his horse to the front line, and roared loudly.

Once again, morale was mobilized, and the crossbowmen nervously raised their crossbows.

Wang Maozhang came to the crossbowman's position, stared ahead, measured the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Release!" ”

A thousand crossbowmen all reflexed, pulled the trigger suddenly, and thousands of arrows flew in the air like locusts. The crossbowmen did not have time to see their results, they bent down nervously, their legs resting on the pedals of the crossbow, and using all their strength to fire the arrows.

When they raised their heads again, many people were stunned, and they didn't even hear Wang Maozhang's order to release the arrows. I saw that 500 mounted iron riders looked like hedgehogs, and many mounted iron riders were covered with crossbow arrows, still moving forward rapidly. War horses are just that, war horses are much more vigorous than human beings. But people are the same, and they can't help but be shocked.

Their hearts couldn't help but have a thought: Could it be that they are all cast of iron? Aren't you afraid of a crossbow? The crossbow is the most powerful individual crossbow among the individual crossbows. Every time you wind it, you need to mobilize a person's legs, waist, and arms, and it can almost be said that the whole person's strength must be mobilized before it can be wound.

Such a powerful weapon didn't let them suffer heavy damage? That's it, it doesn't seem to have been lost! This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to morale.

In fact, they didn't know that the mounted iron horses were tied to the war horses, and even if the rider was shot to death, the war horses would still blindly charge. Of course, what is more important is that Li Cunhuan is luxurious after the equipment equipped with the iron horse, the outside is a set of full-body plate armor, and there is a set of chain mail inside. The only weakness they have is that heavy weapons are the most powerful against them.

But Wang Maozhang didn't have time to react, and after three volleys, the mounted iron horse had already crashed into the gunfire. The correct thing to say is to destroy the withering and rotting. Dense spears and spears are like weeds and dead branches.

And the mounted iron rider is an indomitable bulldozer, crushing everything in front of him. When seven or eight spears were fiercely pierced on the war horse, the war horse couldn't help but be beaten. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that they could survive the difficulties in front of them. But even if the war horse moved again, the spear broke, like a bulldozer knocked over more than ten meters of soldiers, and the follow-up iron hooves trampled these fallen soldiers to the ground without hesitation into meat sauce, and they couldn't turn over the flesh and blood of whom.

Of course, the mounted iron cavalry is not invincible, and from time to time the mounted iron cavalry is overturned, but the huge habitual surname still makes them still knock over a few unlucky Huainan Army soldiers. The entire Huainan Army battle formation was overturned on their backs, and a large number of Huainan Army soldiers were pierced through their bodies by conical cavalry spears.

"Press it up!" Wang Maozhang had to personally lead the crossbowmen to press up, and the crossbowmen's weapons were horizontal knives, axes, and shields. They were at a greater disadvantage than spearmen and pikemen in the face of mounted iron horses. Although they fought bravely, their horizontal swords and axes only left a white mark on the armor of the mounted iron horseman, and the severe pain only made the horses and soldiers even angrier, and their potential was stimulated even more. Knock one crossbowman after another over.

Many mounted iron horsemen have left behind their heavy riding spears and replaced them with heavy short-handled broadswords and battle axes, although the movements of mounted iron horses are very slow, but they are also very powerful, with the power of war horses, the spears will be cut off at once, and then the sharp battle axes will split the heads of pikemen, revealing the white brains inside.

In the case of crossbowmen, they are even more miserable, often with people and weapons are split.

Wang Maozhang's hoarse voice made the soldiers continue to resist, but all this seemed to be in vain, and I don't know how long it took, maybe a cup of tea, maybe half an hour, maybe a year, maybe a century. Anyway, Wang Maozhang feels that time is so short and long, and at the same time it is so tormenting.

Finally, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that those terrifying monsters had left. But Wang Maozhang knew that this was just the beginning, and the mounted iron cavalry was not retreating, but they were running through the battle formation laid by Wang Maozhang.

Many Huainan soldiers stood on the battlefield in a daze, with dull eyes, dull faces, and sluggish movements. Everything seemed so stiff, and the originally vigorous army seemed to have passed a hundred years in an instant, and everyone had become old men in the twilight. There are still many soldiers who can't stand this huge loss, they don't understand why, they have already repelled the enemy's attack twice, and they are not afraid of an army of nearly 40,000 people!

Why, just a few hundred cavalry, they are so terrifying! They are evil spirits! Right! They are demons from the underworld, and they are invincible!

"Ahh Devil! Evil spirits! Invincible! Run! Run! Several soldiers roared wildly, until the officer used his horizontal knife to settle their lives, their mouths still squirming, silently telling people the fear in their hearts.

This mad fear is more terrible than any plague, and it takes at least a few days for people to die. But fear is a breakdown in an instant.

"Raise the white flag! Cast...... Surrender! Wang Maozhang roared, his voice full of unwillingness and low sobs.

Looking at the slowly rising white flag, Xie Yanzhang slowly raised his arm, the light cavalry who were about to charge all reined in the reins of their horses, and the war horses anxiously used their horses' hooves to scrape the stiff ground, and white mist erupted from their mouths and noses, they seemed to be so eager for revenge.

Although Xie Yanzhang also wanted to avenge his soldiers, he still resisted the idea of slaughtering these Huainan troops to avenge him. "Send someone over and collect their weapons and armor!"

It didn't take long for soldiers to report, and Wang Maozhang, the commander of the Huainan Army, and the vanguard both commanded Li Qianyu to tie his hands and ask for a meeting. Xie Yanzhang waved his hand and said, "Take them to see His Highness!" ”

The two light cavalry who were in charge of giving people naturally did not look at each other differently because Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu fought well, and even if they did, they hated each other secretly. After all, there were no less than 300 comrades who died under Wang Maozhang's hands, and I don't know how many were injured. Who would dare to say that none of them are their friends? Maybe a few of them even saved their own lives. But all of this was killed on the battlefield because of Wang Maozhang's order.

The two light cavalry brutally threw Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu onto the war horses, and their soft bellies pressed against the hard saddle, and that's it. When the war horse galloped up, it made the stomach and saddle constantly collide, and Wang Maozhang, who was in pain, snorted several times.

And when the war horse is galloping, the head is down, and the war horse is bumpy, giving people the feeling that they will fall off the war horse in the next moment, and it is head down, so if they fall down, there will definitely be no life. If it were a timid person, maybe he would have been scared a long time ago.

However, Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu are tough guys in the end, and they don't beg for mercy, even if the saddle and stomach collide with the severe pain, they just snort. However, the two light cavalry did not forget it like that, and when they arrived at the hill, Li Cunhuan's tent, they did not hesitate to grab Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu from the saddle and throw them to the ground.

Fortunately, they knew that Li Cunhuan wanted to keep the two of them alive, so they did not throw the stone out, but threw it into a tent without a curtain on all sides, and the inside of the tent was covered with felt protection. But even so, the two who were still in pain couldn't help but snort at the same time. The two of them were already injured, and with the bumps along the way, and after such a fall, blood flowed from the clothes and armor on their bodies, stained with gray-white felt, which was very conspicuous.

Li Cunhuan also knew the reason why the two soldiers were so resentful, although he had the heart to scold, but in the end, when he came to his mouth, he shook his head helplessly, sighed and said, "Go down!" This time, the military merits are halved! You know why!? ”

The two cavalrymen glanced at each other, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and said respectfully to Li Cunhuan: "Your Highness Xie is lightly off!" But this sprinkling is really too hateful, killing and wounding so many brothers, my subordinates would rather not have this military exploit, please ...... Your Highness"

Li Cunhuan shook his head, interrupted the words of the two cavalrymen, waved his hand and said, "Go down!" ”

"No!" The two cavalrymen looked at each other helplessly, quickly turned over their horses, and galloped away.

"Both of you suffered!" Li Cunhuan got up from his chair and personally walked to Wang Maozhang's side to lift the rope for him.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness King Qin, for not killing!" Wang Maozhang untied the rope, immediately hugged Li Cunhuan, and said with a wry smile.

"Is General Wang willing to surrender? The lone king is willing to take the position of deputy envoy of the festival degree and seek the loyalty of the king general! Li Cunhuan was very polite and sincere, and as soon as he said that, everyone standing on the side couldn't help but move.

Wang Maozhang is only in his early thirties, and even if he has qualifications, he can reach the peak of the power of the military ministers in his lifetime, and make him the throne.

Wang Maozhang was silent, and Li Cunhuan did not urge, so that Li Qianyu, who was on the side of the soldiers, was also loosened, and asked people to bring chairs and snacks for the two to enjoy. Then he said to the soldiers on the side: "Immediately send someone to ask a military doctor to treat the two generals, well!" Although the Huainan Army is an enemy, it has now surrendered, and the military doctor has been asked to heal their wounds! ”

When Wang Maozhang heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes, and he sighed and said: "Your Highness is kind-hearted, treat Maozhang like this, and Maozhang doesn't know how to lift up, then he lives in this world in vain!" Mao Zhang is not talented, and he is willing to follow His Highness, but there is only one request! ”

"Oh? I don't know what the requirements are? Do you feel that the position of deputy envoy of Jiedu is not enough to show your talents? No problem! Yiwu Domain Town Stay! "Li Cunhuan is very generous, he can stay behind the deputy envoy of the festival, the deputy envoy of the festival is the third person in a feudal town, and the queen is equivalent to the designated heir of the feudal town, maybe the power is not in the deputy envoy of the festival for a while, but no one will doubt his achievements.

Li Cunhuan's words, let alone let Wang Maozhang struggle for five years to ascend to the throne of the festival.

"Definitely! Mao Zhang asked himself that his skills were mediocre, and he was only willing to become a commander under His Royal Highness, and it was enough for soldiers and horses. It's just that Maozhang's family and wives are all in Huainan. Mao Zhang just hopes that His Highness can pick them up! Wang Maozhang sighed and bowed to Li Cunhuan, his expression was quite gloomy.

Li Cunhuan showed a look of embarrassment when he heard this, and was silent.

When Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu saw it, they couldn't help but show a desperate gaze, especially Wang Maozhang, who also knew that his request was too difficult for a strong man.

Guo Chongtao on the side suddenly said: "If His Highness is willing to let more than 6,000 Huainan troops go back!" Xia Guan was sure to persuade Yang Xing to secretly release the families of Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu to Lulong. ”

Wang Maozhang and Li Qianyu were overjoyed when they heard this, but they dimmed. That's more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, and they've all gone through several major battles. You only need to recuperate, and you can become an elite soldier among elite soldiers, which is not so easy to get.

I am afraid that the entire Huainan can surpass these more than 6,000 soldiers and horses, or if it is comparable, it is estimated that it will not exceed 50,000 people, and now it can increase more than 6,000 such elite soldiers at once. I'm afraid Yang Xingmi will also be very willing, not to mention one Wang Maozhang's family, even if it is ten, Yang Xingmi will not hesitate to send it over.
