Chapter 340: Last Stand

At the sound of the order, the guards, who had just drunk the horses and eaten the dry food, reacted quickly again. Before annihilating Pei Ming's 300 people, there was not a single casualty among the Liaodong guards. But at this time, they have already seen how embarrassed Cheng Yanjin was to be chased at this time, seven people when he went, and only three people were left when he came back, and he was chased like a lost dog.

The battle-hardened Liaodong guards knew in their hearts that this group of people who came was definitely not the previous miscellaneous family members, and the worst would be the government army, and it might even be the most elite Praetorian Guard Xiaoguo army. Chen Kefu held the clairvoyant mirror and looked ahead carefully, and the three of them were only a few dozen steps away from the pursuers behind them. They lay on their horses and galloped, and from time to time they parryed their bows and arrows.

Seeing that the three of them were about to arrive at the protection of the guards, one of the last knights among the three suddenly fell off his horse with an arrow in his vest. The pursuers behind were getting closer and closer, and Chen Kefu finally saw the soldiers and horses clearly. A sรจ black clothes and light armor, and even the war horses are wearing black sรจ leather armor. At a glance, there are at least 1,000 people. More than 1,000 riders were like a whirlwind of black sรจ, blowing wildly.

Cheng Yanjin and another survivor bypassed the defensive formation and ran to the back to enter the formation through the open gap.

"Marshal, these people are not simple, they are definitely veterans who have been on the battlefield. As soon as we found them, we withdrew, but six of the brothers fell along the way. Cheng Yanjin panted and said.

Chen Kefu gritted his teeth, "When have I ever been afraid of the Liaodong Army, no matter what kind of opponent it is, only we will win in the end." We must fight quickly, destroy this army, and hurry as soon as possible. Zhang Yi of the Fifth Bureau of the Luoyang Secret Service Division, who is in charge of answering on the road, said that we will only be answered by people when we leave Henan County. And the nearest Xingyang County is still about two hours away, so it must be fought quickly, otherwise, it will only attract more pursuers. โ€

No one expected in advance that just an hour later, the court's pursuers would already be dispatched. The original plan of the Secret Service Division, Henan County arranged thousands of manpower, but those were all sent to be suspicious soldiers. The nearest responders are also in Xingyang and the Yellow River, but people are not as good as heaven, and now two teams have caught up with them one after another. Moreover, the war will not only delay time, but also more people will definitely find traces and finally smell the fish.

The black-armored army numbered a thousand people, but it was the men and horses of the black-clothed iron guard, led by the deputy commanders Dugu Ming and Yu Chaoyang. Seeing that Chen Kefu's traces were finally discovered, both of them were extremely excited. Although the black-clothed guards have not been established for a long time, all the guards are selected from the purported most elite Praetorian Guard. The 3,000-strong black-clothed iron guards were the elite of the elite of the Great Sui Army, and they were a few points stronger than the combat power of the Xiaoguo Army.

At this time, they were thousands of people, facing only about 500 Liaodong troops, and there were many old and weak among them, and they were more confident of victory in their hearts.

Dugu Ming is the family of Emperor Wen Yang Jian's empress, and the Dugu family is also a family of the Great Sui Dynasty. The most famous of the Dugu family is Yang Jian's father-in-law, Dugu Xin, who is not only handsome and chic, but also has a strong and powerful personality in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. But what is really the most praised is his seven daughters, three of the seven daughters became queens, and he is also known as the first father-in-law in the world. From the Northern Zhou Dynasty to the Great Sui Dynasty, the prominent position of the Dugu family has always been prosperous. Even when Yang Guang had been suppressing the gate valve of the Guanlong family, the Dugu family did not suffer any losses.

Dugu Ming is just the youngest son of the current head of the Dugu family, but he serves as the deputy commander of Yang Guang's closest black-clothed army. Lonely Xin is only in his early forties, and he has the inheritance of the Dugu family, and his bearing is extraordinary. He led his soldiers and horses to surround the Liaodong Army more than 100 paces, stroked his long beard, and ordered with a smile, "Send a small team of men and horses back to report the news, and say that we intercepted Chen Kefu!" โ€

Chen Kefu's men and horses were facing the enemy at this time, and there was no way out.

If it weren't for the dozens of family members in the team, Chen Kefu would have enough confidence to directly break through the array of the black-clothed people and break away. It's just that with so many family members, you can't rush directly.

"Raise your crossbow! Meet the enemy! โ€

Qin Qiong shouted, and all the guards once again put the loaded crossbow machine in their hands and aimed at the black-clothed people who were out of range. ,

In the queue of black-clothed iron guards, Dugu Ming waved the horsewhip in his hand and said to Yu Chaoyang next to him with a smile, "It's true that we are as stupid as the Pei family kid, and the people of the Pei family who are powerful in crossbow arrows have already paid for it." How could this Commander make the same mistake? Pass my orders to go down, raise shields, raise spears, and line up the glaive defense array. Chen Kefu found a good place for himself to return, and he had already chosen a place to go back to the river. This saves us the strength of the defensive side. Surround me, as long as an hour, Commander Sima will arrive with a large army, and then we will be able to arrest all these people without falling behind, and make a great achievement. โ€

Deputy Commander Yu Chaoyang also laughed a few times, "Lord Dugu is right, just surround them, you can't fight with them." "When they came, they saw the death of the hundreds of people in the Pei family on the way, they could see it clearly, more than 300 people all died under the crossbow arrows, one by one they maintained a charging formation, and there was not even a trace of short-range soldiers, they didn't want to do it again.

Qin Qiong and the other generals watched the movements of the black-clothed army, and their hearts were heavy. If the enemy takes the initiative to attack, then they can rely on the powerful crossbow in their hands to deal a heavy blow to the opponent. Break through their formation and flee. But now the other party is so cunning and only besieges and does not attack, which is to put them in a dilemma. Attacking means facing the enemy's defensive formation, which is extremely disadvantageous. If they don't attack, the result will be even worse, and it won't be long before the army of the imperial court will arrive, and then they will be unable to fly with their wings, and none of them will be able to escape.

The two brothers, Wei Chigong and Wei Chiren, rode out of the battle and shouted, "There are a hundred people who are not afraid of death, and they will take the lead with my brothers!" โ€

As soon as the words fell, the guards in front of the formation rushed out and quickly launched a charging formation in front of the formation.

Zhang Yize, director of the Fifth Bureau of the Luoyang Branch of the Secret Service Division, came to Chen Kefu's face, "Dashuai, use this!" โ€

Chen Kefu looked back and saw Zhang Yi take out a small iron can from a bag next to the saddle, which looked bigger than a fist.

Zhang Yi explained with a smile, "This is a special sky-shaking thunder specially made by the Liaodong Firearms Bureau for the brothers of the Secret Service Division, canned in pig iron, five catties each. After igniting and throwing, the sound is loud, and it is all killed by the fragments of the iron can. However, the lethality is not large, and the main thing is that the momentum effect is great. It is especially suitable for the operation of the brothers of the Secret Service, and this time we brought ten of them with each of us, and it was the right time to use him. โ€

Chen Kefu called the two brothers of Wei Chigong, "You bring a hundred brothers, each bring a few of these things, and use this to break their formation." I took two hundred brethren to follow, and Shubao took the rest of the brethren with their families. Remember not to fall in love with the battle, and after breaking the formation, you will rush directly to Xingyang in the east. โ€

The dreary sky was getting darker and darker, and only the darkness remained, and the whistling north wind blew through, and the sky began to fall with snowflakes.

Wei Chigong took off the horse lance that Chen Kefu gave him, pointed forward diagonally, and roared loudly, "When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins, rush!" โ€

A hundred vanguard knights bowed down and steered their horses, all of which had a torch wrapped around their left wrist. This kind of fire rope is somewhat similar to the fuse, the only difference is that they burn very slowly, burning as slowly as incense, but they can keep the wind blowing. This is specially made by the Firearms Bureau for the use of the sappers who cast the thunderbolt, and when igniting, only need to turn the lead to the left hand, which is light and fast.

The war horses first galloped slowly, and then slowly and quickly, and when all the war horses moved quickly, the hundred horsemen who charged into the formation were not far from the defense of the black-clothed army. Dugu Ming and Yu Chaoyang, the black-clothed army commanders behind the Glaive Defense Formation, both looked at these Liaodong Army knights who were rushing wildly with some suspicion.

The knights did not carry spears or spears, nor crossbows that they feared, but each of them had a round shield and a rifle on his saddle. Dugu Ming was a little suspicious and said to Yu Chaoyang, "I heard that the strongest soldiers and horses of the Liaodong Army are the heavy cavalry of the broken barracks, and I heard that when they are fighting, they don't have to care about anything at all, they just need to crash into the enemy like a wall, and they must be the ones who win in the end." Could it be that I was dazzled, why did I see that the more than 100 riders rushing over were obviously light helmets and light armor, but they rushed over like heavy riders? They don't think that with this little shield and light armor, they can break through our spear and shield array, do they? โ€

Yu Chaoen stared at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, shook his head and said puzzledly, "It may be that the immortal was captured alive, so let's rush into battle like this." I heard that the Liaodong army is all crazy, otherwise it would not be possible to finally pacify Liaodong. Since they want to die like a warrior, then let's give them this glory! Yu Chaoen is in his early fifties, and he is also a veteran soldier who has served in the border pass for a long time, and when he saw the decisive charge of the Liaodong Army, a sense of military identity also rose in his heart.

Dugu Ming nodded, "Steady your position, hold your spear steady!" Give these people a decent death for sergeants! โ€

A large shield tree rose one after another, and a metal wall was instantly erected on the river beach! Between the shields, spears after spears pierced through, leaving the entire metal wall covered with dense metal spikes.

Snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the edge that shimmered with the cold of death!ใ€‚
