Chapter 216: Special Attack Cavalry
Shi Ziling knew that the key to this sneak attack on Mijing City was a quick word, and the fifty special attack team leaders he led were divided into five groups most of the time, and every time they went near a checkpoint, Shi Ziling and Yu Wei bore the brunt, and the rest of the people always paid attention to the secret sentry on some nearby branch roads.
These five groups of squads seem to want to do nothing with each other, but in fact, they secretly cooperate with the martial arts know-how of "five peaces and seven repetitions", and they have always inadvertently formed a clever encirclement situation between the officers and soldiers at those outposts.
Because their tactics have been practiced many times, they are quite skillful in actual combat, and with the obvious superiority of martial arts strength, not only can they easily solve the sentry posts on the official road, but even some of the secret posts that Li Yan planted on the branch roads and wanted to flee back after discovering that something was wrong, they were immediately shocked by the special attack team, and immediately launched a siege to quickly hunt them down.
Occasionally, a dark sentry who slipped through the net rode on a fast horse and fled out of the encirclement of the special attack team in panic, but after all, he could not escape the monitoring of Shi Ziling, the supreme master.
Everywhere he went, Shi Ziling spread his hearing far away, and the slightest movement within a radius of three miles would be immediately noticed by him, and even if those secret posts that slipped through the net escaped from the encirclement of the special attack team, they would eventually be hunted down by Shi Ziling, who followed up quickly.
Because the raid team raided the various checkpoints very quickly, and they could quickly succeed everywhere they went, they didn't make much of a fuss until they could see the open gates of Mijing City from afar, and the defenders in Mijing City felt that something was wrong.
Li Shuo, the guard general who was on duty at the head of Mijing City that day, immediately sent a cavalry team of 1,000 people to quickly rush over from the city, wanting to check why no one had come back to change the guard at the outpost in front of him for a long time.
Shi Ziling, Yu Wei, Yu Deping and others scattered on both sides of the official road with fifty special attack team experts, watching this cavalry team of nearly 1,000 people rush out of the city, Yu Wei wanted to make a move, but was stopped by Shi Ziling with his gaze.
After this group of cavalry rushed past them, Shi Ziling said: "According to the prior agreement, Wei Song in the back should have advanced towards this side at full speed with a large group of men and horses at this time, or it will not be long before it will be discovered by the lookouts at the head of the city, and these cavalry teams will let them pass." ”
"What we have to do now is to enter Mijing City to create chaos, disrupt the defensive arrangement of the city, and control the opening of the city gate until Wei Song leads a large group of men and horses to attack the city......"
At this time, the gates of Mijing City were still wide open, and although the officers and soldiers guarding the city felt that there might be some problems with the checkpoints placed outside the city, they always thought that it was a matter of a hundred miles away, and they could not imagine that the enemy had come to the front.
Shi Ziling and the fifty-person special attack team were all dressed up as ordinary caravans, and they smoothly blended into the city in batches. According to the plan in advance, Yu Wei led a team of people to ride fast horses to the city to make trouble, Yu Deping and the remaining special attack team members scattered near the city gate to prevent the city gate from closing, and Shi Ziling sneaked up the city tower alone to disrupt the defensive command of the city head.
The 1,000 cavalry that had previously come out of Mijing City was led by a thousand commanders named Han Dong, who wanted to follow the official road to see if there was anything wrong with the checkpoints arranged at the various intersections in front of them. They galloped all the way, and only after walking about ten miles, they found that a checkpoint originally set up at the intersection was empty, and there was no trace of the officers and soldiers inside, which made people feel inexplicable.
Han Dong sent some of his subordinates to search for the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers in the outpost nearby, while he led his men to continue to move forward quickly. When they reached the next intersection, they found that the checkpoint was also empty. Han Dong sensed that something was wrong, and personally led people to search carefully in the vicinity, and finally found the bodies of some sentinels.
Han Dong was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone back to the city to report, while he himself continued to lead people forward to check the situation. I didn't go far when I saw a lot of dust in front of me, and a group of cavalry was galloping towards this side.
Han Dong looked from afar and saw that this group of cavalry was about 500 people, although they came very fast, but the formation was very good, but their banners and clothes did not look like regular troops, it seemed to be a militia guard.
Han Dong saw that the other party's number was less than half of his own team, and it didn't look like a regular army, so he didn't care much, so he immediately slapped his horse and asked, "Where are you militia groups?"
The oncoming five hundred cavalry slowed down in unison, and the first two horsemen bowed their hands to Han Dong and said, "General, we are the cold dragon and cold tiger of Hengduan Mountain, and we are here to follow our legion commander into Mijing City to do business." ”
Han Dong was puzzled: "Where is the Heng Shan Mountain? Why have I never heard of it, is there a Heng Shan Mountain here in the Western Regions? What kind of army are you from? Why are you wearing the costumes of the local militia group?"
The cold dragon and cold tiger on the opposite side had slowly come to Han Dong at this time, and the two of them didn't seem to pay attention to the machete in Han Dong's hand at all, and said with a smile on their faces: "Hengjiao Mountain is far away in the east, general, of course it's not strange that you haven't heard of it, isn't the flag of our legion hanging on the city tower in the distance?"
When Han Dong heard that the Hengdug Mountain was in the east, his heart was even more strange, he saw that the Leng Long and Leng Hu brothers on the opposite side looked like farmers in the countryside, although the five hundred cavalry they led acted neatly, but none of them showed their blades in their hands, and they never thought that the other party would be the enemy who came to sneak attack Mijing City.
In Han Dong's mind, there was no large-scale hostility within a radius of a hundred miles from Mijing City, and even if there were, at most it would be just a small group of robbers who fought and made small troubles, and they didn't dare to go against the regular army of Mijing City at all. The group of cavalry in front of him seemed to be only five hundred people, how could it be unfavorable to Mijing City?
Han Dong looked back in the direction that Leng Long pointed, only to see that the banner of the word "Li" of the city defenders was still fluttering at the head of Mijing City in the distance, how could there be any flags of other legions?
Just when Han Dong was puzzled, the Leng Long and Leng Hu brothers slapped the fast horse under their crotch, and suddenly rushed towards Han Dong's side, and the five hundred iron horses behind the two of them also started at the same time, rushing towards this side together.
Han Dong was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that the situation was not good, and the machete in Yizhen's hand was about to ask what was going on, when Leng Long and Leng Hu left and right, they had already taken off the Zhangba spear hanging under their respective saddles and stabbed it.
Although Han Dong is only a small Qianzong, he is also a martial arts expert in the Tongtian Sect, seeing that the situation is not right, he hurriedly waved the machete in his hand to parry, and finally blocked the spear in the hands of the Leng Long and Leng Hu brothers, and the fast horses of the Leng family brothers have already come to Han Dong.
Leng Long held a gun in his left hand, and his right hand drew a long knife from his waist to slash at Han Dong's waist, and at the same time, Leng Hu had already jumped up from the horse's back, and also pulled out the long knife from his waist and slashed directly at Han Dong's left shoulder.
Since these two brothers entered the Yu family, they were favored by Shi Ziling and included in the Songhu Legion, and gave the two of them the first three Yuan Demon Divine Arts, which greatly improved the strength of the two, coupled with the fast knife cooperation of the two of them, even if they met a first-class master, they were not afraid at all.
Han Dong was caught off guard and finally blocked the stab of the Zhangba spear in the hands of the two of them, and when he was about to swing the knife to fight back, he didn't expect that the two of them would come so quickly, and they had both attacked at close range. In a hurry, Han Dong struggled to swing his knife to block Leng Long's fierce slash, but he no longer had time to parry Leng Hu's volley in mid-air, and he was split in half on the spot and planted off the horse.
Leng Hu didn't look at Han Dong's corpse, his toes lightly touched Han Dong's horse, jumped back to his horse, and rushed forward with Leng Long. The five hundred cavalry behind them had already set off in unison at the same time as the two of them attacked, and followed the two closely into the cavalry team led by Han Dong like a tiger into a flock.
The five hundred cavalry led by the Leng family brothers are specially coordinated with the previous fifty special attack cavalry teams, all of them are equipped with the same Zhangba spear and the long knife on the waist as Leng Long and Leng Hu, the spear is used to pick and stab from a distance, and the long knife on the waist is used to chop at close range, which is a weapon carefully designed by Shi Ziling for his special attack cavalry team.
The spears equipped by the special assault cavalry team are nearly three feet longer than the spears used by the various legions in the Bright Moon Continent at present, and the spear tips are extremely sharp, which is very conducive to horse warfare, and the long knives they are equipped with are borrowed from the long swords used by the martial arts of Dongli Island, which are specially used for close slashing when charging in horse battles.
The thousand cavalry under Han Dong were shocked when they saw that their thousand generals were suddenly split in half, and before they could come to their senses, the special attack cavalry team led by the Leng brothers had already rushed over.
The two sides immediately started a face-to-face confrontation, because the official road where they were located could only accommodate eight horses at the same time, although these cavalry under Han Dong had the advantage in numbers, but they couldn't get up in a hurry, and the weapons in their hands suffered a great loss.
Under the fierce spears and knives of the special attack cavalry team, this cavalry team in Mijing City was simply unable to parry, and their general had been killed, and the team suddenly fell into chaos.
Most of those who directly faced the impact of the special attack team and had no time to dodge the parry were killed on the spot, and some soldiers in the back saw that the situation was not good, and wanted to turn their horses and flee for their lives, but it caused even more chaos in their own positions.
It didn't take long for this group of nearly 1,000 cavalry to be slaughtered and overturned, many sergeants and horses fell into the farmland on both sides of the official road, and the remaining few who fled slowly and remained on the official road were mostly killed on the spot.
The special attack cavalry team led by the Leng family brothers was extremely fast, and the formation was always extremely neat, slashing with guns and knives all the way, constantly knocking down the enemy in front of them, and in the blink of an eye, the cavalry formation of 1,000 people on the other side had completely penetrated.
Under their strong impact, Han Dong's team immediately suffered heavy casualties of three or four hundred people, and the remaining military horses had already collapsed, and they fled to the farmland on both sides of the official road, but none of the Leng brothers' team was injured.
However, this special attack cavalry team did not have the slightest intention of fighting, and immediately left after breaking through the opponent's formation, and rushed to support the special attack team that entered the city in front of them at full speed.
