Chapter 232: Black-robed cavalry
After a while, a healthy horse galloped out at high speed from the depths of the red willow bush and galloped downstream along the river. The Anxi athletes on the top of the sand mountain saw the figure galloping out at high speed, and immediately reacted, and more than 20 athletes rode down the hillside.
As soon as the athletes rushed to the river, they saw the blood-colored river, and the black shadows that sank to the bottom of the water slowly floated up one by one, and they were all in the army's robes.
The leader of the scouts was extremely angry, and hurriedly fished up all the robes in the water, and all nine of them were stabbed in the heart by a sword, and they were all killed!
After a short delay, the scouts rode across the river to pursue again, but the enemy was gone. Divided into more than a dozen athletes, they chased their horses along the river for more than ten miles, only saw the horse's hoof prints left by the enemy, but never saw the enemy's figure.
In desperation, a dozen scouts returned the same way. At this time, in the place where the nine robes died, a large number of figures had gathered.
Zhao Yang, the leader of Anxi's secret agents, stood at the water's edge, looking at the corpses of the nine robes, looking extremely angry.
Such an action actually damaged more than 20 brothers, and even Li Chen was shot with an arrow, which he couldn't accept at all.
All the casualties, all because of one enemy, that damn Condor Shooter!
There is a hidden stable in the red willow bush, and there are several good horses in it. After the damned Condor Archer escaped from the secret passage, he took his horse from the stable and sped away.
The enemy had more than 20 robes stained with blood on his hands, but in the end he escaped easily, which was absolutely unacceptable to Zhao Yang.
The Arabians who had given up their resistance were also brought here, and the guys were visibly relieved at this point. Zhao Yang looked at these guys and wanted to kill them all immediately, but the general still had to ask these people, and he still couldn't kill them for the time being.
"What's the name of the guy who ran away?" Zhao Yang shouted with a calm face.
Several Arabians were at a loss, obviously unable to understand Anxi's official language.
There was no translator here, Zhao Yang was annoyed but couldn't help it, so he took all these people back to the valley, and then sent more than a dozen horsemen to gallop to Ximi City at high speed, and went to tell the general. After all, there is a treasury in the belly of the mountain, and it is impossible to give up, and these people in front of him cannot be transported.
……
Cargo profits Xi Mi under the city, in the barracks. Ma Lan heard the news from the scouts, and kicked the case out with a kick, and the look on his face was also extremely angry.
Twenty-four people were killed!
Twenty-four people were killed by a single condor shooter, since the formation of the new army in Anxi, how could he have suffered such a loss!
"Uncle Pony, I'll find that guy for you!" Niu Xu shouted loudly with anger on his face.
Most of the dead were Tang army scouts, those were his subordinates, Yang had never suffered this kind of loss when he was the leader of the scouts, he suffered such a loss when he was the leader of the scouts, how could Niu Xu be willing?
"Go ahead! Bring some more men and find that guy for me! Ma Ling said in a deep voice.
Niu Xu handed over the task of blockading the city of Cargo Xi Mi to his deputy Feng Yuan, and he took more than 100 scouts, and the leader of the secret agents, Lu Zhe, also brought dozens of Anxi secret agents, and the group quickly left the city of Cargo Xi Mi and went straight to the lair of the Havaliji faction thirty miles away.
……
In the valley below the sand hills, the bodies of the Fire Seekers and the Arabians lay on the ground. The wealth in the secret room was transported out little by little by the Anxi athletes and placed on the back of the war horse.
The bodies of the scouts and spies who died in battle were also tied to their mounts, and Zhao Yang stood on the flat field in front of the earthen house with a gloomy face, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
On the top of the sand mountain, there are a few scouts, and there is the commanding height of this area, and the large area around the top can be clearly seen.
"Da Da Da!"
In the direction of the lower reaches of the river, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves, and several scouts stared at it, and a black cavalry turned from behind the sand slope and galloped towards the valley.
Those who were clearly not their robes, but all of them were enemies. All of them were dressed in black robes, and their faces were hidden in the black robes.
"Enemy attack!"
The little leader of the scout shouted, and without hesitation, he pulled the mechanism of the Yuan Rong crossbow, and an arrow flew out, flying towards the bottom of the mountain with a sharp whistling sound.
In the valley, Zhao Yang's face sank, and he urged the horse to rush out quickly, and saw the yellow dust rising in the distance, and the black pressure did not know how many cavalry were galloping at high speed.
On the back of a knight at the front of the cavalry, he was carrying a huge bow, and when Zhao Yang saw this huge bow, his pupils shrank suddenly.
Condor Shooter!
This is the Condor Shooter! He fled and came back! And brought so many reinforcements!
Obviously this place and all this wealth, those guys don't want to give up easily.
The incoming cavalry was outnumbered, and they numbered less than a hundred. Zhao Yang shouted angrily and rode his horse back to the front of the earthen house. At this time, the rest of the athletes heard the arrow, and they were already on their horses and ready for battle.
Zhao Yang's face was gloomy, and he pointed to a few Arabians who had surrendered and shouted, "Kill them all!" ”
The athletes waved their knives and cut off all the heads of these guys. There is a war coming soon, and who still has the burden of air traffic control.
"Quick! Follow me up the mountain! Zhao Yang shouted loudly, holding the reins of the wounded Li Chen's horse in one hand, and at the same time controlling his war horse with a spur, rushing towards the sandy slope at the edge of the valley at high speed. Seeing Zhao Yang's heavy face, the athletes knew that something was wrong, so they immediately followed Zhao Yang out of the valley and rushed along the ridge towards the top of the sand mountain.
The attacking black-robed cavalry was densely packed, and they quickly rushed to the valley, and at this time, Zhao Yang and the Anxi athletes had all gone to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Yang roughly estimated that there were nearly 3,000 cavalry attacking, and such a large-scale enemy, even if he had a Yuan Rong crossbow, would not be able to compete with this wave of enemies on flat ground.
Defending the risk is the only way, and those who have just moved out of the treasury can only give up for the time being.
Thousands of horsemen rushed to the valley, and the condor archer at the head was wrapped in strips of cloth and his face was covered with a black veil, revealing only two eyes, looking at the neatly arranged corpses of fire seekers and Arabians in the valley, his eyes were full of anger.
On his back was a large, exaggerated giant bow, similar to the Tang Army's seven-stone bow. The thousands of cavalry behind him were all covered with black veils, and they also only showed two eyes.
The condor archer looked at the Tang cavalry on the top of the sand mountain, turned around and shouted at the black-robed cavalry, and the black-robed cavalry shouted loudly, and immediately dispersed, rushing along the ridge from both sides towards the top of the sand mountain at high speed.
There are a lot of gold and silver coins and all kinds of gems in the valley, and these guys don't even look at them, and their eyes look extremely fanatical.
The Tang army scouts at the top of the sand mountain were already in full formation, and more than eighty people were divided into two parts, each defending the ridge on one side. A large number of thistles were thrown out by the scouts, and a handful of Yuanrong crossbows were already full of crossbow arrows, and they all pointed at the black-robed cavalry who were rushing up.
Soon the black-robed cavalry had reached the effective range of the Yuan Rong crossbow, and the athletes on both sides shouted angrily in unison, moving their moots almost at the same time.
In order to achieve the effect of deterring the enemy, this time the mode of firing ten arrows was adopted.
Steel arrows rained down, and blood splashed everywhere, and hundreds of steel arrows fell in each of the black-robed cavalry groups on both sides, and two or three hundred people were directly killed by this wave of volleys.
Such a huge casualty rate did not make the black-robed cavalry flinch in the slightest. The black-robed cavalrymen shouted loudly, stepping on the corpses of their comrades and continuing to charge towards the top of the mountain.
Due to the condescending position, the range of the Yuan Rong crossbow was greater than expected, and the place where this wave of arrows hit was the middle of the enemy cavalry, but the condor archer at the front was unharmed.
The scouts nervously reloaded the Yuan Rong crossbow with crossbow arrows, and Zhao Yang and the spies put all the fire and thunder at their feet. According to the distance estimate, when the Yuanrong crossbow fires another salvo, there will be no chance to reload the Yuanrong crossbow.
The enemy rushed so fiercely that a single shot of dozens of Yuanrong crossbows could not play a big blocking role at all, and it was an inevitable choice for ten arrows to kill as much as possible.
The black-robed cavalry on both sides roared and desperately urged their horses to rush forward, and the open space created by the rain of arrows was quickly filled by the knights behind. After the Anxi athletes finished loading, they launched a salvo again, and a dense rain of arrows slanted in the dense cavalry, and a large open space appeared in the crowd.
In the second volley, the black-robed cavalry on both sides fell by two or three hundred people each. The nearly 3,000 black-robed cavalry who attacked had already lost 30% at this time.
Such a large casualty rate did not make these cavalry flinch in the slightest, and one by one, they still shouted like madmen, and continued to rush towards the top of the mountain.
The scouts all carried the Yuan Rong crossbow on their backs, and one by one took out the fire thunder from their arms and put it at their feet. This thing is now the basic equipment of the new army of Anxi, and although they are scouts, each of them has a base of four.
At this time, the black-robed cavalry had already rushed to the area of thistles, and many horses stepped on the thistles, neighing and falling to the ground. Due to the extremely dense concentration of thistles, many horses fell.
However, these black-robed cavalry were obviously also well-trained, and they all got off their horses, carried heavy swords and shields, and rushed towards the top of the mountain.
The archers of the black-robed cavalry stopped where they were and began to shoot towards the top of the hill. However, in the face of Anxi Jian'er, who was covered in bright light armor, this kind of shooting was not very useful at all.
More black-robed cavalry did not fire arrows, and rushed directly towards the top of the mountain. Some of the most powerful guys pulled out their spears from behind their backs and threw them at the top of the mountain.
The Anxi athletes were very few in number, and they were relatively separated from each other, but after hundreds of short spears flew over, the Anxi athletes immediately suffered casualties.
"Blow up these bitches!"
Zhao Yang roared, and the spies and scouts lit a fire thunder with a fire sickle at the same time, and threw it downwards with all their might.
The fire and thunder were lighter in weight than the short spear, and they were condescending, so they were thrown extremely far away, and all of them fell into the crowd of black-robed cavalrymen.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom !!"
There was a dense roar, screams on the ridges on both sides, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. The frantic shouts of the black-robed cavalry finally calmed down for the first time. (To be continued.) )
