Chapter 103: The burly man
On March 29, Ji Ping took a hundred flying shadows to lead away Dong Min's 3,000 cavalry on the second day.
The rain was still falling, and in a dense forest in the southwest of Luoyang, the ground under his feet was full of dead grass and rotten leaves soaked by the rain.
"Six men were assigned to monitor the enemy's situation and take turns to rest, while the rest fed the horses, fed, and rested for half an hour."
Ji Ping, who was drenched, jumped off the red rabbit horse, hugged Yin Muyue again, brushed aside the wetness she had attached to her forehead, and kissed her forehead: "You go to rest under the tree for a while." โ
Yin Muyue shook her head, bit her frozen purple lips, stroked the long mane of the red rabbit horse, lifted the leather splashed with enemy blood on one side of the horse's back, and took out two cloth bags, one of which was given to Ji Ping, which was dry food, fried beans.
She herself took another cloth bag to feed the horses, which contained fodder for the horses, green hay and raw beans.
War horses are different from ordinary horses, especially long-distance running battles, it is not enough to rely on forage, and there are also foods such as beans to maintain the body of war horses.
Behind them, the shadows were also eating and feeding the horses.
Since yesterday afternoon, under the pursuit of Dong Min, Ji Ping took them a hundred flying shadows around for nearly a day and a night, and only then did they enter this mountain forest before dawn under the leadership of a flying shadow who was familiar with the road.
At night, the road was slippery in the dark, and they were outflanked three times, and they all rushed out dangerously, but they broke more than ten flying shadows, which really made Ji Ping's heart ache.
At this time, they were already sleepy and tired to the extreme, and Ji Ping believed that the Dong Min cavalry stationed outside the mountains and forests was the same.
Just after they entered the mountain forest before dawn, Dong Min was still unrelenting and chased in with his men and horses.
Ji Ping was ruthless and asked Pan Feng to drive the war horse with ten people to continue to move forward to attract enemy soldiers, while he himself lurked on the side with more than seventy flying shadows. ambushed Dong Min fiercely.
If it weren't for the protection of the guards, that wave of arrows would have shot Dong Min to death, and the frightened Dong Min would have stopped. Temporarily retreated outside the mountains and forests, leaving Ji Ping time to breathe.
Ji Ping looked at Yin Muyue. The most thrilling time on the way to the west, Yin Muyue Ge opened a stray arrow that shot at the red rabbit horse, but the horse was shot dead when he sat down, and the whole body flew out, fortunately, Ji Ping reacted quickly and picked her back with the long pole of Fang Tian's halberd.
Thinking of that scene, Ji Ping is still afraid in his heart, and then the two of them rode together.
Fortunately, the weight and explosiveness of the red rabbit horse are really good. But this guy is also a big foodie, watching more than a dozen catties of beans be eaten by it in the blink of an eye, and looking for the newly grown tender grass on the ground to eat, Ji Ping couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After feeding the horses, the Flying Shadows took the rain and ate dry food, and then rested under the tree, although the rain was drenched and wet and cold everywhere, they were too tired to care about it.
About half an hour later. The flying shadow who monitored the enemy's situation on the periphery reported, and Dong Min sent people into the forest again to search.
Dong Min was only a mile or two away from them, and Ji Ping immediately continued to move forward with Feiying.
According to the Flying Shadow who led the way. This piece of mountain forest to the northwest, there is a canyon leading to the depths of the Da Kun Mountain in the west, but on the north side of the canyon there is a crack that only allows one ride to pass the guรฒ, the crack is more than a mile long, after the crack is the wilderness, and the north of the wilderness is the dwellings and the water.
Ji Ping's goal is this crack, as long as they cross the crack and block the narrow road with rocks and trees, they can stop Dong Min's pursuers. And Dong Min wants to bypass this mountain beam, and he has to return and walk out of the mountains and forests to the east. It will take at least half a day's work.
After walking for about an hour, Ji Ping and the others entered the crack in the canyon. Indeed, as the flying shadow said, only one ride is allowed to pass guรฒ.
After the crack, there was still a small forest in front of me, but outside the woods there was a faint sound of drums and horns and the sound of fighting.
Ji Ping couldn't help but be surprised, and hurriedly sent four flying shadows to investigate, and together with Pan Feng and a few powerful flying shadows, they stirred up rocks and trees, blocking this crack and narrow passage for several feet.
Then they followed the cover of the woods and quickly marched in the direction from which the drums and horns had come.
After traveling for nearly a mile, the flying shadow of the road reported that half a mile away from the woods in front, there was a Qianghu cavalry of nearly 1,000 people besieging a township pavilion, and there was a military flag in the township pavilion, but it was wet and low hanging by the rain, and the rain curtain was misty, and the flag could not be seen.
And the Chinese army of the Qianghu cavalry was outside the woods, and there were only more than a hundred people guarding it.
Ji Ping's eyes lit up, no matter what, this Qianghu army must be attacking friendly forces, and now their Chinese army actually dares to set up outside the woods, this is a godsend!
"Leave two people with war horses, and the rest of the people will prepare crossbow arrows and long knives, and follow me to raid the thief army!" Ji Ping immediately ordered.
At the moment of the war, the originally tired flying shadows were all in good spirits, and they were chased by those Hu cavalry for nearly a day and a night, and they were also holding back a fire in their hearts, and now they were about to vent.
A moment later, Ji Ping led the flying shadows to the edge of the woods, and the sound of the rain muffled their footsteps.
Looking at the Qianghu soldiers who were defenseless against the dense forest behind him, Ji Ping hid behind the tree and pulled out his longbow expressionlessly.
The Flying Shadows also raised their crossbows in unison, each aiming at their target.
Woohoo!
Twenty steps away, the Qianghu general, who was facing away from Ji Ping and was reprimanding his subordinates, stiffened, and blood spurted out under the rain curtain, and the general did not turn around, and fell off his horse.
Almost at the same time, chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Seventy or eighty crossbow arrows shot out, and the guards of the Qianghu army fell like mowing grass, and only a dozen or so people remained before they could react.
Ji Ping did not hesitate to send two more arrows, and fell down two people again, and at the same time, the flying shadows drew their swords and swept out, and before the dozen or so Qianghu soldiers could react, they were killed.
The last one to kill was the drummer, and at the moment when the drummer died, the already organic Flying Shadow took the drumstick and continued to beat the drum.
Seven or eight hundred steps ahead, in the misty rain curtain, nearly a thousand cavalry were still continuing to attack, and there was no sign that the Chinese army behind had been replaced.
Ji Ping wiped the rain on his face, and there were corpses everywhere on the ground within seven or eight hundred steps in front of him, many of which were just a stone's throw away from the Qianghu army, obviously after repeated fierce battles between the two sides, and the friendly troops on the opposite side even killed the thief soldiers in the army for a time.
Seeing that some of the corpses had been soaked and swollen by the rain, it was clear that the fight had been going on for a long time. And some of the corpses were dressed very familiarly, and they were the clothes of Guan Yu's soldiers.
And before Ji Ping crossed the water in the south, he had ordered Guan Yu to go south to intercept the enemy's cavalry, obviously the two sides were fighting here, and it was Guan Yu who was trapped in the township pavilion at this time.
At this time, the two flying shadows in the forest drove the war horses out, and the red rabbit horse ran to Ji Ping's side first.
Ji Ping put on a mask, pulled out his long sword, cut off the head of the Qianghu master who had died, returned the sword to the sheath, Fang Tian drew a halberd to pick up the head, got on the horse, and said in a deep voice: "Put on the crossbow arrow, prepare to kill!" โ
Then he said to Feiying, who was beating the drum: "After the charge, beat the offensive drum of our army." โ
"Kill!" Ji Ping let out a low shout, and the red rabbit horse rushed out, followed closely by the flying shadow behind him.
Running four hundred paces away, the rhythm of the drums changed abruptly, and the Qianghu cavalry that was attacking in front was a little confused.
At the same time, Ji Ping's clear voice spread far away: "Yun Chang, this king has brought three thousand iron horsemen to help you!" The thief army has been broken! โ
The Qianghu soldiers, who had been disturbed by the sound of drums, couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Ji Ping's shouting, and turned around together, only to see a cavalry rushing in the rain, but it was not the headquarters of the people, and the flagpole of the Chinese army behind had already fallen, and they panicked for a while.
Some turned their horses back, and some slapped their horses and retreated to both sides, huddled together, and the cavalry was never most afraid of being attacked from front to back.
At this time, a military Sima raised his spear in the army and shouted: "Don't panic, divide your troops to meet the battle!" Uh......" A long arrow shot through his throat.
Ji Ping collected the bow and held the halberd, he had been waiting for the enemy general to come forward, kill the enemy first, and get twice the result with half the effort, this is the experience he has learned in previous battles.
Sure enough, as soon as the general who commanded the attack died, the attacking Qianghu soldiers were even more chaotic.
Seventy or eighty flying shadows still greeted with crossbow arrows first, and the chaotic Qianghu soldiers suddenly fell.
Ji Ping even threw the severed head of the main general of the Chinese army far away into the enemy formation, and said sharply: "The main general is dead, and he will not surrender!" โ
The head of the lord fell into the Qianghu soldiers' array, and all the Qianghu soldiers he saw screamed strangely, and they were completely chaotic.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Ping led people into the enemy formation.
โฆโฆ
In the township pavilion after the next battle, behind the broken walls, there were hundreds of remnants fighting with the Qianghu soldiers, and the leader was Guan Yu, who was covered in blood.
He was ordered by Ji Ping that day, led the cavalry south, but encountered 3,000 Qiang Hu cavalry, bloody battles, heavy losses, the original 2,000 soldiers died only 800, the war horses were lost, was besieged in this area of the village pavilion, and after a night of fighting, the defense line was about to collapse.
Guan Yu was already desperate, but at the last moment, he heard Ji Ping's voice.
Just thinking that it was an illusion, Hu Bing, who suddenly attacked frantically, attacked and became chaotic.
Guan Yu showed a look of joy in his eyes with a pair of danfeng, and the long knife was full โof joy and the long knife was like a nursery
At this time, thirty paces away, there was a burly man holding a double halberd, striding over, and said in a loud voice: "Captain Guan, the enemy soldiers are retreating, but our soldiers and horses are coming?" โ
Guan Yu, who was about to rush to kill, heard the shout of the big man, turned around, and said in a loud voice: "Dianjun Hou, it is my lord who is coming to help, dare to kill me!" โ
"Hahaha!" The big man laughed loudly: "How dare you! I was about to kill, these thieves and birds, how many of my comrades have been killed! โ
"Kill these thieves!" Neither of them had a war horse, and with a loud roar, they took the lead in charging into the chaotic enemy formation, and hundreds of soldiers gathered behind them and followed closely.
Guan Yu was in high spirits, wielding a long knife, although he was tired, but with his force, dealing with these small soldiers was like killing chickens with a knife, and no one could stop him wherever he passed, and everyone was in a different place. (To be continued)
