Chapter 102: Foothold

Although the Wusun people were born on horseback, the vast majority of them were hunters on horseback, not warriors.

And these Swadia knights they faced were completely different.

These Svadians, ever since they were summoned by Qilin as recruits, have been living in battle.

In the most brutal elimination of death, these recruits gradually promoted to the militia and light infantry, and after they put on heavy armor and rode on war horses to become heavy cavalry, they went through almost long battles, honing their killing skills and riding skills.

Until now, he has finally become a Swadian knight who symbolizes glory and also represents death.

At this time, in the face of these riders, who were almost stepping on hundreds of dead corpses and walking step by step to the present, those Wusun people were almost powerless to fight back.

Almost as soon as they first came into contact, more than 100 Wusun people were pierced by the cavalry spears of the Si riders at the moment of contact, and even two Wusun people were strung on the same riding spear.

Although the Wusun people in the rear seemed to have finally reacted, they abandoned their riding bows one after another, drew their scimitars, and slashed at the oncoming opponents.

But the sleeveless plate armor handed down by the Swadia knights was not so light that it could be broken, and the knight's fan shield in their hands was not good-looking.

The vast majority of the Wusun people's attacks were blocked by the fan-shaped shield, even if they were not blocked occasionally, but the scimitars in their hands faced the armor of the Si Cavalry, except for the moment of chopping, they could inflict some impact on the Si Cavalry, and then were buffered by the internal chain mail and leather armor, they could not hurt them at all.

On the contrary, the weapons of the knights, whether they are warrior swords, maces, two-handed swords, or heavy cavalry spears, can easily take the life of a Wusun man almost every time they are wielded.

But no matter how powerful the Swadian knights were, they only had 100 horsemen after all, and it was impossible to kill all the enemies in one single charge in one charge.

And the horses of both teams are not slow, they are fast. The men and horses on both sides rushed out of each other's formations, which also made those who survived the Wusun finally breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Qi Lin's attack did not end there.

Because at this time, these Wusun people who were riding fast horses and were in a chaotic formation had already re-entered the range of the marksmen's attacks.

"Put!" With an angry shout, the Rhodok marksmen who had been aiming for a long time pulled the trigger one after another.

After the rain of arrows, the Wusun war horses that rushed to the front of the formation suddenly fell and threw the riders on their backs out.

It turned out that these Rhodok marksmen were not aiming at the opponent's cavalry, but at their horses.

Facing the compatriots who turned over in front of him, the Wusun horse behind couldn't hold his hooves. They all bumped into it.

After a while, the Wusun people lost almost half of their forces again, but what was worse was that they stopped.

A group of cavalry, unprotected by heavy armor and in a scattered formation, stopped on the battlefield.

The opposing side had two teams of cavalry, one for infantry, and one for crossbowmen who were on the second string.

The fate that awaits them is obvious.

"Puff puff!"

"......Uhh

A rain of arrows suddenly struck, and Bai Ma Yicong, who had first wanted them to charge, had already circled back. The Wusun people who were in a mess around them were constantly shooting arrows.

These white horses were skilled in their bow horses, and every time they shot, the Wusun people screamed and fell off their horses, and then they were trampled into meat by the horses' hooves.

……

The battle lasted only a few minutes. It ended with the total destruction of the Wusun people.

As for these cavalry and slashing soldiers in Qi Lin's hands, only a few Bai Ma Yi were accidentally injured by arrows in the opponent's final deathly counterattack.

However, after the few military doctors who came with the army arrived, they took out the arrows and dealt with them a little, and it was estimated that it would be good to cultivate for a while.

Let Sergeant Rhodok clean up the battlefield. Qi Lin sent more than a dozen white horse servants to inquire about the situation.

Since there are no professional scouts recruited, the work of pathfinding can only be handed over to these horses for the time being. And the almighty white horse came to do it.

Let the other soldiers rest and guard in place, and after waiting for dozens of minutes, Bai Ma Yicong, who went out to investigate, returned one after another.

"Report, General, there is no anomaly in the north!"

"Report, General, there is no anomaly in the south!"

"Report, General, there is no anomaly in the east!"

"Report, General, there is no anomaly in the southeast!"

"Report, general......"

"Report, general......"

A company of eight waves of cavalry reported the surrounding situation to Qi Lin.

However, without exception, nothing unusual was found.

"Hmm." Listening to the report of the White Horse Righteous Servants, Qi Lin was also relieved in his heart, "How long will it take for the follow-up troops to arrive here?" ”

"Probably tomorrow, General."

Qi Lin looked at the sky, it was probably just after noon.

"Alas, the march of the large army is really slow."

Just as he was sighing, the group of Rhodok soldiers rushed back after cleaning up the battlefield.

Looking at the more than a hundred intact Wusun horses they were leading, Qi Lin sighed with some regret.

There are more than 800 good horses, and now there are only about 100 left, which is a pity.

Although there is a huàn shop with a riding and chopping system, you can buy all kinds of good horses directly from the store, and you can also cultivate them in the stables of the Imperial Age, but after all, you have to pay for it yourself.

However, Qi Lin didn't bother too much.

After letting the soldiers lead their horses and find a place to stay, Qi Lin ordered the troops to set up camp, eat dry food and gnaw on dried meat, and wait for the arrival of the large army.

……

The waiting time is undoubtedly long, especially for a person like Qi Lin, who is impatient, the long wait is even more tormenting.

However, in a long time, there is also a moment when it is over.

In the early morning of the next day, with the report of a white horse servant, after more than an hour, Qi Lin's large army finally arrived.

Thinking that it seems to be in the sphere of influence of the Han Dynasty now, it will not take long to estimate that it will be at Yumen Pass, and he will definitely not be able to enter the territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty lightly with a large number of soldiers, unless he forcibly attacks the city.

But in that case, it will inevitably attract the attention and hostility of the Eastern Han Dynasty in advance.

You must know that it is only 180 years now, and it will be nearly 4 years before the Yellow Turban Rebellion.

Although today's Eastern Han Dynasty is in a state of decadence, it has not really become chaotic after all.

If Qi Lin attacked the city with 20,000 soldiers like this, it is estimated that it would not be long before he was abused by those powerful immortals.

Even after these months of fighting, Qi Lin looked a lot more powerful, but after all, it was just a small fight, and the number of people on both sides of each battle added up to about 2,000 people at most.

In the battle of tens of thousands of people, Qi Lin really didn't have any confidence to command well.

"It's time to summon an NPC and take a look." (To be continued......)
