Chapter 710: First Strike (Part I)
At the station of the Ghost Rong Envoy, Cao Jingxian looked at the people who were already in armor and fully armed, and couldn't help but say, "My lord, are you really planning to act tonight?"
Morry gently pulled out the saber from his waist and returned it to its sheath, without glancing at him, "Why not? I'm going to kill the North Iron Cavalry to the city of Jeju, and King Lu should have been persuaded that Jeju is ours at this time.
"At this time, I can kill those two families by surprise, and remove the last bit of problem as soon as possible."
As he spoke, he turned and headed straight for his mount, ready to mount his horse and set out.
Cao Jingxian hurried two more steps: "But now the soldiers and horses in the city are still searching around, maybe as soon as we go out, we will collide with them head-on, and it is inevitable that there will be a battle."
"First, the Kong family has already sent a message, and as soon as King Lu is convinced, they will take back the soldiers and horses in the city." As he spoke, he had turned over his horse neatly, and the other cavalry in the courtyard also followed, and some of them hurried forward, moving away from the high threshold that was in the way, and taking the thick latch of the door, just waiting for him to give an order.
"Second, since we have decided to take the city, we are about to kill a few blind guys to sacrifice the flag! Also, don't you notice that it's much quieter outside now than it was at noon, and you can't hear any movement."
Cao Jingxian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the outside of their mansion was indeed extremely quiet now, and before noon, not only did officers and soldiers passing by from time to time, checking on passers-by, but also the Jeju soldiers in front of the door said that they were ensuring their safety.
And now, all these movements have disappeared, which means that King Lu's side has really transferred all the people according to their request, so as to facilitate their actions.
"Got it?" Mo Liyi glanced at Cao Jingxian again, and his expression could not hide his disdain, "Then stay here with peace of mind, waiting for me to take Jeju, you will naturally have merit!" Open the door!"
The last two words were naturally said by the subordinates in front of the door, and the four ghost warriors immediately exerted force in their hands and pulled hard, opening the two heavy wooden doors inward.
While they opened the door, their figures also tried their best to go straight to the back, for fear of blocking the momentum of their own people rushing forward, and their eyes were even a little envious. Because they will be responsible for staying here to protect Cao Jingxian and others, but they can't kill the enemy and capture the city.
But as a result, under their gaze, the cavalry led by Mo Lidi did not rush out after the gate was opened, but stood there in a daze, as if someone had cast a fixed spell, only the horses under their crotch snorted a little uneasily, and stepped on the spot.
Their eyes were fixed on the outside of the courtyard gate, as if they had seen something amazing.
Several soldiers who opened the door were naturally curious, but they were behind the door, and they couldn't see what was rare outside. Fortunately, they still have ears, and they can still hear the screams that come from nowhere.
"Get out of the way!"
"Shoot the arrows!"
The first sound came from Cao Jingxian, who was also affected, but he reacted faster than the other fighters, and as he screamed, the man had already stumbled and rushed to the side.
The second sound came from outside the door, and after this sound, the sound of whizzing arrows breaking through the air instantly filled the entire area.
Thousands of sharp arrows rained down into the courtyard, completely enveloping the three hundred ghost warriors, regardless of men and horses, regardless of dignity or inferiority, all of them were nailed towards all targets.
The screams erupted in the relatively wide courtyard at once, and a large number of people fell, and only a few people turned over to hide from the moment of the crisis.
Among these people is Mo Liyi, as the envoy of the Ghost Rong, he is also the best warrior among the three clans in the north, even if he encounters such a surprise attack, he can still make the most correct response in the blink of an eye.
The saber was quickly drawn by him, and then a light and shadow danced in front of him, sweeping away the impending arrows, while his eyes wandered around, looking for space to retreat and dodge.
It's just that this circle was swept down, but it made his heart sink, because three hundred cavalry had gathered here, and the courtyard was already full of people, and they could not be allowed to turn and retreat
Walking, there is no place to hide.
Moreover, there was more than one round of arrow rain, and after only a short pause, the second round of arrow rain had already hit the face, and the subordinates who had barely held on before fell again.
Can't do it anymore!
Almost in the blink of an eye, Moriti had already made a decision, and immediately shouted: "Kill!"
As soon as he spoke, he took the lead, shook the reins, and rode his horse forward.
The archers were fifty or sixty paces outside the gate, and if they could go out and rush to them, the cavalry would kill the archers as easily as chickens and pigs.
The rest of the cavalry who could still charge also understood, shouted, and followed closely behind their own leaders, like a wounded and angry steppe wolf, brazenly facing the rain of arrows in their faces, and rushed straight forward.
During this time, a number of more people were shot and fell, but nearly sixty men followed Mori and rushed out of the gate and rushed to the archers.
Then they heard the shouts of the flanks on both sides, and the two armies, which had long been ready to attack, slammed into the flanks of their ranks like two sweeping clubs.
Although these generals were mainly foot soldiers, their full emotions and determination to fight, combined with the narrow terrain that was not conducive to cavalry charges, disintegrated and cut the originally somewhat formed Ghost Rong cavalry in one fell swoop.
At this moment, every cavalry has fallen into a desperate situation of fighting alone, front and back, left and right, there are enemies, and they may encounter stabbing with swords, guns, swords, halberds, and various weapons. Moreover, from time to time, there will be cold arrows in front of you.
Even better, because it was a foot soldier against a cavalry, the enemy was in a high place, which made the archers not have to be too careful to avoid hurting their own people, and they could completely free their hands and feet to shoot arrows upwards. c
So, under such layers of control and cooperation, this battle, or rather a one-sided slaughter, lasted less than half an hour, and the three hundred ghost cavalry had all fallen off their horses, and finally only Mo Lidi was left, with his excellent riding skills and martial arts, he could also rush left and right, and knocked over and killed the officers and soldiers one after another.
But at this time, he has also been surrounded by layers, and no matter how brave and good he is, there is no possibility of breaking through and escaping.
At this time, in addition to grief and indignation, he was more surprised and confused.
How could things have taken such a 180-degree turn, and that he, who should have controlled the situation, would have fallen to such a certain death?
