Chapter 4: The Return (5)

"Junzi stayed to clean up the battlefield, take care of my father, and the others, each bring a spare mount, and continue!" Zheng Ziming didn't look at it, and raised his hand to pull an ownerless war horse. ΩImmediately, he thrust the steel whip into the holster behind the saddle of his mount, picked up the crossbow tied with the leather cord from the back of the horse's belly, and began to reload it as soon as he galloped.

"No!" the brothers agreed, gathered their weapons, grabbed their horses, fished for crossbows, loaded, and rode their horses over the corpses of the enemy.

They can't count how many similar battles they have fought in recent days. Skilled to the point of almost numbness. Therefore, after slaughtering the opponent, the next habitual action is to reload the Wuhou crossbow with crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows have also been recovered many times. Some of the arrows have been broken, and some of the rods are slightly deformed. Some of the arrows are rusty and need to be reheated. However, outside the vast expanse, the big guys are not qualified to be picky at all. You can only try to refer to the principle of pulling out the big ones in the scarf, and before each battle, select the best ones to load. Then the next round of recycling, picking, and repeating.

"Those guys just now weren't leather room soldiers!" Zhou Xin quickly advanced the horse's head by half a body, and reminded Zheng Ziming in a dumb voice. "Looking at the dress, it should be the Eastern Route Army of the Wing King Yeludi. Originally stationed in Youzhou, he was responsible for containing and supporting Han Kuangsi. ”

He had followed Chai Rong for a long time to disguise himself as a swordsman to spy on the military situation, so he knew the situation of various factions in Liao well. Just by looking at the outfits of the enemy army that was eliminated before, you can guess which commander it is and which "mountain" it belongs to the Khitans.

"Holy shit, Yelu Ruan really looks down on me!" Zheng Ziming smiled, turned around and gently bowed at Zhou Xin. "Isn't he afraid that Han Kuangsi will wait for an opportunity to rebel?"

"When a dog is used to it, how can he be willing to throw away the rope around his neck?" Tao Dachun also moved the war horse a little forward by half a body and protected the other side of Zheng Ziming.

The parable was vivid enough to make the brothers around him laugh. After laughing, he continued to adjust his formation, inspect his armor and weapons, soothe his mood and muscles, and prepare for the next fierce battle.

This set of rushing methods while rushing to prepare for battle has been mastered very skillfully by the big guys. Soon, everyone was getting their stamina up to the best. And the destination of this trip is also in sight. Dozens of warriors who were waiting to greet their people in triumph were greeted by a group of murderous enemies, so frightened that they jumped up from the fire where mare's milk was boiled, picked up spears and short sticks, and hurriedly lined up.

"Crossbow!" Zheng Ziming waved his left hand, his right hand flat, and at the same time judged the distance between himself and the other party with his eyes. Preparations were being made to give the order to attack. However, the moment before the order was about to reach his lips, he suddenly felt that in the woods on the left, there seemed to be a flash of cold light.

"No, it's not right. There is an ambush!" the alarm swelled up from the bottom of his heart, and instantly rushed to the top of his head. "Shoot!" his fingers snapped, his eyes quickly swept around, and in an instant, he swept the nearby mountains and rivers into his mind.

More than thirty crossbow arrows flew out in unison, knocking over a whole row of Khitans who had formed a hastily formation on the opposite side. Zheng Ziming abandoned the crossbow and let it fall on its own, and was pulled behind the horse's buttocks by the leather rope; drew the steel whip, knocked the stirrup, and the man and the war horse turned into a lightning bolt to kill the enemy group; swung the whip and smashed down, smashing an enemy general who could not dodge until he vomited blood and died. His gaze retracted from the corpse, and his brain quickly made a judgment on what appeared in the corner of his eye before, "Don't fight, rush over, and then follow me!"

The enemy troops in front of them who were hastily formed in front of them, and the pursuers who had just been completely annihilated, were just bait thrown by the opponent. Li Shun's reconnaissance results were wrong, and the enemy army was more than a hundred-man team. Just in the woods on the left, there are more soldiers and horses in ambush!

"Sigh, shh......h "Keep up, keep up, don't fight!" Tao Dachun and Zhou Xin shouted, turned their horses, and followed behind Zheng Ziming. "Keep up, keep up!" the rest of the Cangzhou warriors reminded each other with shouts, and they did not hesitate to turn their horses' heads. Drop the bait of more than 30 people who escaped death, and reunite their own team into a perfect iron triangle in the rush.

"Woo woo, woo woo, woo ......" the mournful sound of the horn suddenly sounded in the woods. felt that his own ambush had been exposed before it was activated. The Khitan generals who led the army did not hesitate to adjust their strategy and attack.

More than 200 Khitan foot soldiers strode out of the woods, erected shields and spears. A whole group of archers quickly bent their horned bows and mounted feathered arrows on their backs. On both flanks of the team, there were more than fifty cavalry each, but they were not busy coming forward to fight. Instead, he calmly leaned to the edge of the battlefield and made a detour forward, ready to cut off the opponent's back at any time and wipe out Zheng Ziming and others.

"Throw the gun and prepare!" Zheng Ziming shouted loudly as he ran wildly, and at the same time pulled out a three-foot-long short spear from behind him with one hand.

"Prepare for the gun!" "Prepare for the gun!" "Prepare for the gun!" "Prepare for the ......gun!"

The repetition was endless, and the Cangzhou warriors almost did not hesitate to carry out Zheng Ziming's instructions, handed over the weapon in his left hand, and pulled out the throwing gun behind the saddle of his right hand, holding it tightly in the palm of his hand.

"Blocking the arrow——!" Zheng Ziming lowered his head suddenly, and his shout was like a tiger's roar.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh" ...... , the rain of arrows in the sky came as promised, and scarlet blood flowers were played.

Most of the arrows that were fired at the human body were blocked by the brothers with shields. Occasionally, one or two fish that slipped through the net did not hurt the vital point, so as not to cause the injured to lose their combat effectiveness immediately. But the war horses under the crotches of the brothers made the situation a little miserable. Many of the horses had at least four or five eagle feathers stuck in their bodies, and the blood spurted outward like a fountain along the wound.

"Sigh shh......h Slow down, I'd rather donate blood and die than drag the master on my back.

Their master, with red eyes, jumped to the spare horse, which was slightly more lightly wounded, and his movements were clean and neat, without any mud and water.

The entire triangular array quickly shrank by half, and the distance between the horses and horses quickly widened, and people could not cover each other.

The second wave of feathered arrows fell from the sky again. More horses fell with a scream, and the red mist steamed. Cavalry on horseback or war horses jump down before they fall, and rush forward on foot. Or hop on a nearby backup mount and slow it down without the slightest sniping from the feathered arrows.

"Squeak, squeak......" The cold horn bow opened and sounded again. The Khitan archers, skillfully attaching their bows and arrows to their bow arms, prepared for the third round of coverage.

"Throw!" Zheng Ziming definitely didn't give the other party a third chance to shoot an arrow, waved his arm, and threw the throwing gun hard.

"Whoosh-" More than twenty throwing guns rose into the air almost simultaneously, swept a distance of fifteen paces, and turned downward. The sharp spear blade, which bypassed the shield from the air, smashed the shield bearer and the pikeman to the ground. Several huge cracks were smashed out of the makeshift shield wall in an instant, and Zheng Ziming crashed into it first, swinging the steel whip, smashing a bloody storm around him.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The enemy line collapsed from the center and inward, and the shields and spearmen were powerless to fight back, either broken and broken, or screaming and retreating. Tao Dachun, Zhou Xin and others took advantage of the weakness to enter, like sharp knives, and directly broke the Khitan formation. Then he rushed into the Khitan archers, slashing wildly, like two demons from hell, leaving a corpse behind the war horse.

The archers were at close range and did not have any combat effectiveness. Immediately turned around and fled frantically into the woods. More Cangzhou warriors rushed into the enemy line, chasing archers, spearmen, and shield bearers, like hungry tigers pounced on the flock. In just two or three breaths before and after, the killing array carefully constructed by the Khitan generals had completely collapsed.

The shield bearer followed the pikemen, and the pikemen chased the archers, not afraid that they would not be able to outrun the Cangzhou army's war horses, but that they would not be able to outrun their own robes. Hundreds of remnants, like lambs in a circle, chased after me, and fled to the depths of the woods with all their might. The wails of his companions kept ringing behind him, and no one had the courage to turn back again.

"Wow-ahh

Shame, this is a shame that the East Lu Yelu family has never encountered. If the culprit is not killed, what face will he Yelu Du Huhai have in the world in the future?

He is Yelu Du Huhai, the third son of Yelu Dilie, the Khitan old Khan king Yelu Abaoji, Khitan ......

"Poof!" a throwing gun, ending all humiliation.

"Ahh Tao Dachun and Zhou Xin rushed forward with their Cangzhou brothers and slaughtered his cronies like chopping melons and vegetables.

"My lord-" The Khitan cavalry who had tried to make a detour back to Zheng Ziming and the others before, and who had cut off their way back, almost witnessed the entire process from the collapse of their own military formation to the killing of the commander, and they opened their mouths and cried loudly.

"Kill, don't let them go back to report the news!" Shi Chonggui happened to be protected by Li Shun and two other cavalrymen to arrive, and when he saw this scene, he immediately opened his throat and reminded loudly.

Zheng Ziming was stunned, turned his horse's head sharply, stepped on the corpse of the enemy, and pounced on an enemy cavalry on the right from the flank and rear, "Follow me and kill them all!"

Tao Dachun, Zhou Xin and other Cangzhou warriors quickly adjusted their formations, followed closely, "Kill, kill them all!"

The Khitan cavalry on the left and right flanks immediately stopped crying and urged their mounts to meet the battle. Among them, the cavalry on the right, because of the close distance, took the lead in contact with Zheng Ziming and others, and then, one by one, fell off the horse, and in just a few snaps of his fingers, they were all beheaded under the horse.

"Ahh Quickly pull the reins and flee.

"Don't let one go!" Zheng Ziming emphasized loudly, put away the steel whip, and picked up the Wuhou crossbow again.

"Don't let go of one, don't let go of one!" The Cangzhou brothers, who could also find the war horses on their way, quickly caught up, and aimed at the fugitives from behind with crossbow arrows, horn bows or throwing guns.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The arrows were like flying locusts, the spear blades flashed, and the grass was instantly splashed with dazzling red!
