Chapter 965: Hunt and Kill
Secure the door.
Located in a side gate on the east side of the Suzaku Gate, next to the Taimiao, Zongmiao and other buildings, a cavalry rushed out, did not continue to move forward, but turned the horse's head to the east, through Pingkangfang is the East City.
In the middle of the night, the East Market is quiet, there are some red lanterns hanging by the river, which looks a little deserted in the night, and the boats are docked at the pier, swaying in the wind, as if waiting for the boatman to return.
The cavalry galloped all the way along the main road next to the East Market and hurried to the Chunming Gate.
There was a cavalry waiting at the Chunming Gate, all of them were well-equipped and indifferent, and the sand bags blocking the city gate had been emptied, and when they saw someone coming, they quickly opened the city gate, extinguished the torches, and then hurried out of the city in the moonlight.
Not long after, Wang Shengzhi led people to chase and kill to Chunming Gate, and when he saw the discarded torches, sand bags all over the ground, and the wide open city gate, he was immediately furious and shouted: "Bastard, there was a premeditated escape plan." ”
"My lord, they have horses, we can't catch up, what should we do?" One of the captains asked anxiously.
"Go, catch up, the black light is blind, the war horse can't run fast, the king of Han has arranged a back hand, and he can't run." Wang Shengzhi said angrily and rushed out of the city.
The soldiers hurried to keep up, and they didn't want to give up on such a big fish.
……
Beiyuan, inside the Chinese military tent.
An Guogong walked around anxiously, and the large army went to attack the palace, leaving only his own people on standby, with the combat effectiveness of the Hanzhou army, the palace must be easily taken, so wouldn't he be able to earn any military merits?
But regardless of the order, he led the army over to support, and An Guogong didn't dare, don't look at Qin Huaidao's usual kindness, generosity, and easy to talk, when it comes to military orders, it is quite unforgiving.
"Newspaper—"
An officer rushed into the Zhongjun tent and said, "General Qiyu, the scouts who are guarding the gates of Chang'an City have come to report, and Chunmingmen has found a cavalry rushing out and heading east. ”
"Cavalry?"
An Guogong reacted violently and said excitedly: "Haha, we deserve to pick up the big fish, our siege troops are not riding horses, the cavalry must be the enemy commander to run, go, Lao Tzu wants to catch him personally." ”
Soon, a large cavalry rushed out of the camp and roared eastward.
When it comes to horseback riding, An Guogong's people all grew up on horseback, and they are extremely fast in riding.
Run wild.
Half an hour later, the army caught up with a cavalry, and An Guogong shouted excitedly: "Pass my order, outflank both wings, be sure to block this group of enemies, and prepare for battle." ”
"Obey!" Immediately a general responded.
The army was soon divided into three, and the two armies broke away and made a detour from both sides.
The main force continued to accelerate the pursuit, and the man on horseback took out a big bow, took out a feather arrow, and let go of the reins, and the man on horseback rose and fell with the run, not affected by the bumps, and his hands were very steady.
"Woohoo!"
One after another, the feathered arrows roared away, heading straight ahead.
The fleeing cavalry in front also quickly changed formation, divided into three, one left behind the broken rear, and the other two went to intercept the people who came up in a roundabout way, leaving only two or three hundred people to continue to rush forward.
An Guogong knew at a glance that the big fish was among the two or three hundred people, but the enemy fought very resolutely and played with his life, so he yelled angrily: "Warriors of the grassland, shoot freely and kill them all." ”
"Woohoo!"
Feathered arrows roared away, with great precision.
The people after the break did not have bows and arrows, not even a shield, but there were crossbows, swords, and the equipment was not bad, and they all picked up the crossbows to counterattack, but unfortunately the horses ran, the body followed the ups and downs, it was difficult to control, and the crossbow arrows shot out were either shot to the sky or to the ground, and there was no precision at all.
An Guogong saw this scene and smiled: "Hahaha, looking at bluffing, it's just a fake trick, shoot it!" ”
The soldiers also saw that this cavalry looked extraordinary, but they were not good at using crossbows on horseback, and they were in a hurry, and they were not in a hurry to rush up to close combat, and continued to shoot arrows.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, most of the broken cavalry fell, and the rest dismounted one after another under the order of the general, so that the power of the crossbow was brought into play.
"Rush up and slash!"
An Guogong shouted, what he was waiting for was this time, he was an infantry when he got off the horse, and there was no threat, not to mention that there were only more than a thousand people, but there were nearly 10,000 people around him, and he was sure to win.
The soldiers rushed forward on horseback, lowering their bows and drawing their swords.
Under the moonlight, the sword was shining, raised high, and then slashed down.
"Kill—"
For a while, the shouting and killing were loud.
Although the cavalry after the break is good at fighting and very resolute, it is flesh and blood after all, and it is either knocked away by the war horse, or it is cut to the ground, trampled to death by the war horse behind.
The army rushed forward like a rolling torrent, drowning and devouring the broken cavalry, and continued to move forward.
Soon, the army chased away, leaving corpses all over the ground and scattered and ownerless war horses.
Wang Shengzhi led people to catch up, and when he saw this scene, he shouted excitedly: "Haha, there is a war horse, hurry, ride a horse, continue to pursue." ”
As he spoke, Wang Shengzhi found a war horse and turned over and continued to chase fiercely.
The soldiers also got on their horses one after another, although they were not good at riding, but they were just walking, and there was no big problem.
Pursuing all the way, Wang Shengzhi saw that there were large armies fighting on both sides, and he couldn't see clearly under the moonlight, so he didn't care, and continued to run wild with his own people.
Not long after, a forest appeared in front of them, and someone was scuffling, blocking the way.
"Follow me."
Wang Shengzhi quickly changed direction, led everyone to rush over from the side, and quickly rushed into the woods.
The woods are dense, which is not conducive to the running of war horses, Wang Shengzhi signaled everyone to dismount, continued to rush forward, rushed to a small hillside in one breath, and saw that the army also changed to walk the forest, and was shocked.
"General, what should I do?" One of the captains stepped forward and asked, exhausted and panting.
"The army that came in should be our own people, they came in to search the mountains, it can be seen that there are big fish, and there are woods all around, it's troublesome, go over there." Wang Shengzhi pointed to a higher hillside and said.
Everyone hurriedly followed, running all the way, not seeing clearly, stumbling, and very embarrassed.
When they ran to the top of the mountain, they were so tired that they sat on the ground, gasping for air.
Wang Shengzhi had good physical strength, quickly climbed a big tree, and looked far away.
Under the moonlight, the surrounding woods were gray and could not see anything clearly, Wang Sheng's heart was anxious, and a pair of sharp eyes kept patrolling the surroundings, and suddenly found a forest with night birds flying in fright.
At night, birds in the woods do not fly unless they are frightened.
Thinking of this, Wang Shengzhi was overjoyed, quickly jumped off the tree, and shouted: "Find the target, follow me." ”
Saying that, regardless of whether everyone can be more or not, run in one direction.
The soldiers got up one after another, gritting their teeth to keep up, but at a much slower pace.
At the critical juncture, Wang Shengzhi couldn't take care of his troops, and kept jumping and running alone, like a hungry wolf foraging for food under the moonlight, extremely fast.
