Both sides were desperate, and Zhu Houzhao's carriage shook more and more, after all, the strength of ten people was difficult to compare with seventy or eighty people, and even if they kept shooting, they did not shake those cultists again.

Two hundred or so men besieged the two carriages, but there were only so many people who could get close to the carriages that half of them could only provide moral support in the back. With victory in their hands, some people began to look around and observe the situation around the battlefield.

Suddenly, one of them shouted, "The officers and soldiers are coming, everyone be careful." "No, there are many cavalry coming from the official road in the distance, and they are rapidly approaching here. The dense sound of horses' hooves attracted everyone's attention, and Zhu Houzhao and the others in the carriage also had a trace of breath.

If the two armies are fighting, the team on the side of Luo Xing will immediately run to the dense forest or prepare for defense, and the two hundred infantry will not end much better if they encounter a slightly larger number of cavalry in the field. But Luo Xing is different, they have firm beliefs, and they don't care that they will be in danger, in Luo Xing's view, once there is a problem with the two legitimate heirs of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos for a while, and their own sect will have an opportunity, even if they sacrifice, they will die well. In addition, the coalition forces of a hundred other sects also thought the same way, their leaders were all pious people of their respective sects, and the real big boss did not come, so the arrival of the cavalry did not make them waver, but attacked even more frantically.

Everyone in Zhu Houzhao's carriage gritted their teeth and tried their best to resist, but Zhu Houwei was responsible for shooting because of his small size and small strength. Suddenly, I felt that the amplitude of the carriage was shaking and had reached a critical point, so I shouted "Quick, don't step on the open space of the skylight, go to both sides" Before the words were finished, the carriage "banged" and turned over, and the sunroof also became facing the enemy, and the people in the carriage fell to the ground, and there was a soldier who stood in the skylight, and when the carriage turned over, he became out of the carriage and exposed to the enemy. Before everyone in the carriage could stand up, they heard a scream outside, and it seemed that the exposed soldiers were already more than lucky.

Brother Zhu Houwei felt a little sad in his heart, but now is not the time to express his feelings, Zhu Houwei pulled the skylight beside him, fortunately, this one is not broken, the skylight was closed, and after it was locked immediately, everyone in the carriage only had to defend the two sunroofs.

The skylight is not large, almost half a meter square, it is more convenient to defend, and it is impossible for the enemy to jump in at once, as long as he takes a waist knife and slashes, and the musket is placed indiscriminately.

The cheers of the enemies outside the carriage had not yet ended, and they began to attack the carriage. There were those who shot bows and crossbows into it, and there were those who shot firearms into it, but the people in the carriage were not injured, and the short muskets that stretched out from tricky angles from time to time also caused damage to Luo Xing.

Luo Xing saw that it was not possible to continue like this, and immediately ordered to stop the long-range attack. Then, two slightly shorter men were called to Luo Xing's side and whispered a few words.

Everyone in the carriage was panting, and when they pushed the carriage with the enemy, they seemed to have used up all their strength, and now that the enemy stopped, everyone immediately felt a parchment of their mouths and a little pain in their chests.

Zhu Houwei was far away from the skylight, swallowed his saliva and asked, "Why did it stop, what are they doing?" By the way, listen carefully, there is the sound of horses' hooves. ”

Zhu Houzhao was next to a skylight, and before he could answer, he saw two skylights flying in and a person each, like a diving action, and suddenly arrived in the carriage, startling everyone, fortunately, everyone was experienced, and immediately raised a knife to stab the enemy. "Boom" a few times, each of these two people was stabbed twice, snorted, and almost settled the account on the spot. Suddenly, more than a dozen bows and arrows flew in, and the four soldiers who went to stab the enemy were hit by several arrows, but fortunately, the injuries were not critical, they were all hands and feet, although there was no danger to life for the time being, but they also lost their combat effectiveness.

Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Stand down, if anyone pounces in again, hit with a musket, don't go forward." "Luo Xing, they are crazy, because the two people who were hit the most arrows just now were the two who rushed in, and they were also hit by a few arrows in the vital parts, and they had already gone to get the lunch.

"Boom" two more people flew in, bang twice, the people in the carriage fired two shots, the two people who came in suddenly lay down quietly without saying a word, a burst of white fog floated in the carriage, accompanied by more than a dozen arrows hitting the inner wall of the carriage to make a dangdang sound.

It looks like a long time has passed, but the whole process is actually only about half a minute, a thrilling half a minute. The cavalry in the distance had reached a distance of seventy or eighty meters, and between them, they held the reins in one hand and a short musket in the other. Due to the relatively dense station, the thieves were all near the two carriages, and they suddenly fell down a lot, and they were sparse a lot at once.

The cavalryman who fired the gun put the gun back on his waist and drew his saber. The saber was improved from the Mongolian scimitar, and for the Han people, it was more suitable as a horse weapon. Wide back thin blade, the blade is heavier, which is conducive to increasing the strength of chopping, the handle is generally slightly bent in the direction of the blade, so that the handle with arc is more conducive to the rider's control, not easy to get rid of, the blade is about one meter one, plus the handle is about one meter three in length, it is very convenient to use on the horse, and it is definitely the first choice for one-handed cold weapons.

The thieves didn't just stand there motionless, bows and arrows, crossbows, and even firebolts that didn't know whether they would hurt the enemy or themselves first, but they numbered people and the distance was far away, and they didn't hurt the cavalry at all. The fire gun is not like a bow and arrow, it may be blocked, but the fire gun starts to be inaccurate at a distance of twenty meters, let alone fifty meters now.

Luo Xing looked at the battlefield and was a little stunned, because he found that not only the cavalry was attacking him, but also many people rushed out of the dense forest near Beiying Village, and now he fully understood that the trip of the two crown princes this time was just a trap, just waiting for himself and others to get in. But Luo Xing didn't care, just froze for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on his face, and it could be seen that he couldn't escape today. With a shock on his shoulder, Luo Xing looked back, and it turned out to be the second senior brother with gray hair and beard, and the second senior brother had a free and easy face, and said with a smile, "Let's fight." ”

Luo Xing glanced at the second senior brother, with guilt, gratitude and heroism in his eyes, and nodded in response. Holding a waist knife, he jumped into the carriage almost at the same time as the second senior brother. The people in the carriage did not relax, and when they saw someone coming in, they immediately fired two shots.

The second senior brother was shot in the chest, and there was almost no possibility of survival, Luo Xing was shot in the calf, and before his body stopped his inertia, he slashed to the side with the waist knife in his hand, and there were ten people crowded in the carriage, and one of them would definitely be hit by a knife.

The knife was slashing past, and everyone didn't have time to react, and Zhu Houzhao was in the nearest position. With a "bang", Luo Xing was shot again, this time directly in the chest, and obviously felt the swinging waist knife, but he just slashed at Zhu Houzhao according to inertia. When there were still dozens of centimeters away from Zhu Houzhao, the knife stopped. It turned out that a soldier from the amphibious battalion next to him grabbed Luo Xing's wrist.

Zhu Houzhao's face was not panicked, only serious, his eyes were calm, he glanced at the waist knife that stopped nearby, and then continued to reload his bullets, preparing to deal with the enemy's next attack.

The crowd that rushed out of the dense forest shattered the thieves' self-confidence, and a few people began to run towards the dense forest on the other side, and most of them stayed where they were, waiting for the final battle with hideous faces.

The cavalry arrived first, and I saw them stretch their sabers to the side, relying on the impact of their horses, and effortlessly harvesting the lives of the enemy. The cavalry contingent became a thin layer, like a shaved turnip, gently scraping the enemy's perimeter, and then, by inertia, ran into the distance, and then turned the horse's head in preparation for the second harvest.

There are also cavalrymen with long weapons stabbing at horses or horses in the ranks of thieves, but not all the cavalry who shot just now, and half of the cavalry behind did not shoot.

The thieves, who were originally only in their early teens, were suddenly only seventy or eighty people left after a single harvest by the cavalry, and the thieves with more important long-range weapons were almost lost. By this time, the cavalry had already formed their formation in the distance and turned their horses' heads. But the infantry rushing out of the dense forest also came to him, and without saying a word, a burst of muskets fired, and then the muskets were thrown lightly to the ground, and the weapons on the waist were drawn, and the thieves fought together according to the mandarin duck formation during training. If you take a closer look, you will find that there is a person who keeps sending out flying knives with one hand, yes, Ma Sanniang is in this team. Although he is also nearly 1.8 meters tall, almost all the soldiers here are of such a figure, and there are no high heels these years, so Ma Sanniang suddenly became obsolete from everyone.

Although there are no rattan cards and long weapons, the soldiers of the amphibious battalion who have been trained for a long time and cultivated by large and small battle formations are not comparable to thieves with enthusiasm and firm faith. After less than five minutes, all the thieves lay down, and one person was killed, three were seriously injured, and ten were slightly injured.

The cavalry cleared the enemy on the outskirts of the battlefield and provided a lot of support to the infantry. At this time, the battle was over, and the man led by the cavalry turned over and dismounted, ran to the side of the carriage and shouted, "The eldest young master, the second young master, I am Dong Qinghai, you are not injured." ”

The people in the carriage suddenly felt a sense of relief, they didn't stick their heads out to observe the situation outside through the skylight just now, it would be unlucky if they were hit by a stray arrow. Zhu Houzhao shouted, "I'm fine, but there are injured here, hurry up and treat them." Zhu Houwei gave Zhu Houwei a look, Zhu Houwei was closest to the back door, and immediately opened the back door, and the few people who were not injured quickly ran out of the carriage and beckoned others to treat the wounded in the carriage.

Zhu Houzhao and the two saw that it was indeed Dong Qinghai, who chased so far a few days ago, but they didn't expect to come back so soon, and they also participated in the battle. With Dong Qinghai, the two brothers will be relaxed.
