Chapter Twenty-Three: The Iron Rider of the Northern Wolf
In the evening, Qin Fan looked at the taxes in Shushui Town, but he didn't expect it to be good, there was a look of four or five gold, and the food used to buy the Shushui defenders seemed to be enough.
"Childe, Gyeongju is only three hundred miles away, and the cavalry can reach it in one day, you need to pay more attention!" Mu Qingyao made a pot of tea for Qin Fan, and the faint fragrance of the tea was wafting in the bamboo building.
"Hmm...... Looks like I'm going to have to send someone out to scout the information......"
Thinking of this, Qin Fan brushed dozens of third-order knights and scattered them in the direction of Gyeongju, so that he should be able to prepare a little in advance.
There was nothing to do all night, and the next day Qin Fan inspected the various school fields, and the village warriors were trained as coaches in the school field, and the shouts echoed between the valleys. Tianya Town is in a relatively open plain between the mountains, and a mountain road connects the post road outside the town, which is relatively private.
Today, Tianya Town will be promoted to the second order, and the population should also increase, Qin Fan returned to the bamboo building, he planned to brush up more second-order talents to go out and earn some money to buy more notices from the traveling merchants, and now the money he earns is to buy this thing in addition to buying food.
The school field is constantly sending troops, the idle population has become very small, and there have been no high-level talents in the recent period, Qin Fan feels that he doesn't know what direction he should develop.
Just brushing, Mu Qingyao hurriedly ran in and hurriedly said, "Son, the golden soldiers have been killed!" It's only forty miles away from Shushui Town! ”
"So fast!"
The post road is not wide, and the speed of a large number of troops is naturally not as fast as that of spies, Qin Fan hurriedly took the five or six hundred troops trained from yesterday to the present to reinforce Shushui Town.
As soon as Qin Fan entered the town with his front foot, Jin Bing arrived with his back foot. I saw the wind and dust rolling on the post road, the whole body was covered with black iron armor, and the golden soldiers with the iron helmet of the wolf's head engraved on their heads rushed out, and the war horse hooves under the crotch were covered with a circle of silver hoof guards one inch long, and the horse's back was hung with a sheet of special armor to the horse's belly, and the horse's head had a special mask, sewn with leather and iron sheets.
"I finally understand what an iron rider is now!"
The war horse of the Northern Wolf Iron Horse and Qin Fan's horse belong to the same Mongolian horse breed, but their appearance is more majestic, which makes Qin Fan suddenly suspect Kerman, and feels that this old boy probably chose a defective product for him.
The Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry belongs to the light armored iron cavalry, which belongs to the front-line combat army of the Jin Dynasty, with strong combat effectiveness, although it is a third-order army, but our lancers are definitely not opponents! Because they are better equipped and more experienced in combat!
Qin Fan looked at the cavalry who were holding long-handled Mo knives and were ready to attack, and his heart trembled a little, this is the elite of golden soldiers, one thousand and five against two thousand, and the chance of winning is slim.
"Crossbowmen and archers on the tower! Swords, shields, frames, shields, and shields block the door! ”
Qin Fan brought fifty crossbowmen who had been trained in the past few days, hoping that it would work. Yue Ziyun's more than 500 cavalry defended the ancestral shrine and was the last line of defense.
"Assault!"
In front of the Jin Soldiers, a thousand household chiefs raised their long swords and shouted at Shushui Town, and the earth-shattering shouts and killing sounds, combined with the ground tremors brought by the cavalry charge, brought huge pressure to Qin Fan.
The impact speed of the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry was very fast, and in a moment it had already rushed to the bottom of the town's archway, and at this time, the crossbowmen on more than ten arrow towers began to shoot. The crossbowmen pulled and struck, and the crossbow arrows in the arrow box shot out one after another, and the dense arrows slashed the head and covered the face into the cavalry ranks.
Even with the protection of iron armor, there were still many cavalry who were shot by arrows, one after another Jin Dynasty cavalry were shot off their horses, and some war horses were unfortunately hit and fell to the ground.
However, only a few were hit by the crossbowmen, and under the powerful protective gear, a large number of iron horsemen instantly collided with the big shield of the sword and shield soldiers, and the powerful impact force directly scattered the formation of the sword and shield soldiers. Except for the first dozens of cavalry who were blocked and fell off their horses due to inertia, the rest of the cavalry went directly into the city along the opening that was rushed away.
Qin Fan stood on the arrow tower and watched the enemy army break through the defense line like this, the shock in his heart can be imagined, the sword and shield soldiers are almost helpless to take the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry.
The gates of the town are open, not like the gates, and the iron horsemen can go straight in. He hurriedly commanded the sword and shield troops to follow closely.
The Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry entered the town, and the merchants and players along the street hid, and ordinary knight players could not participate in this kind of battlefield at all.
Yue Ziyun soon heard the sound of the golden soldier's hooves, he couldn't help but grab the spear in his hand, and when the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry appeared in the field of vision, he shouted, and five hundred spear cavalry came out with him.
Yue Ziyun's momentum of the ninth-order generals made the oncoming Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry seem to have a slight pause, and the Jin soldiers rushed to the front, seeing Yue Ziyun killing, he had already shown timidity, but the arrow had to be fired, he raised his long sword and killed it head-on.
Death to those who stand in my way!
Yue Ziyun shouted, the spear shot straight through the chest, and the head of the thousand households raised the long sword and wanted to split the spear, but he ignored the strength of Yue Ziyun's spear, and the blow was not opened, and he was pierced on the spot.
One of the commanders was killed, and the iron cavalry behind did not seem to be affected in any way, and the two sides clashed in the street, the clanging of weapons, and the sound of shouts of killing and the death of soldiers who were seriously wounded and died were heard throughout the town.
Yue Ziyun is worthy of being a ninth-order general, even if he is besieged by more than a dozen people, he is still at ease, and the gun is a human life, and the spear is flickering in the crowd, no matter how hard the iron armor of the golden soldiers is, it can't stop the sharpness of the spear.
Yue Ziyun slashed all the way, dozens of people died in a moment, and the lancers rushed all the way under his leadership and had a tendency to counter-charge.
However, the lancers were always inferior in combat ability and protection, and they were surrounded by iron cavalry halfway through, and the iron cavalry on the periphery cruised back and forth, forming a large circle to surround the lancers.
At this time, Qin Fan finally arrived with the sword and shield soldiers, and in the face of the cavalry whose speed had slowed down due to the restrictions on the street, the sword and shield soldiers finally had a little use.
"Crossbowman!"
Qin Fan first asked the crossbowmen to line up in a row, and took turns to shoot at the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry, and after just a few rounds, the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry divided hundreds of people and killed them.
At this time, the sword and shield soldiers had occupied the entire street, close together, and the impact of the Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry at this time was not as fierce as outside the town before, and they were all blocked. The sword and shield soldiers drew their lancets and took the opportunity to aim at the war horses from the gap and stabbed them for a while, and dozens of war horses in front of them fell one after another.
Yue Ziyun fought hard, the white spikes on the steel gun were already dyed blood-red, and the white robe on his body was stained with blood. The surrounding lancers kept falling, and the blood in the streets had overflowed into the river.
"Come on!" Yue Ziyun roared, hundreds of people had become the souls of his guns since the battle began, this was the strength of a ninth-order martial general.
Qin Fan saw that Yue Ziyun couldn't support it, so he opened the talent interface at this time, and Shushui Town had already vacated three or four idle people, so he hurriedly began to brush the knights out, whether it was the second or third order, all the people were transferred, and when there were enough three hundred people, he would command the knights to kill in.
The combat ability of the second- and third-order knights is definitely not as good as the third-order Northern Wolf Iron Cavalry, after all, the golden soldiers are all fought from the battlefield, but under the current situation, Qin Fan can only fight a protracted battle.
