Chapter 255: Chain Horse
Feng Long has always believed that there must be a demon when things are abnormal, people must hide a knife when they are abnormal, and there must be a ghost if they are insincere.
So when he saw that Huang Budo was ten times more people than himself, he was still able to remain indifferent, and realized that this Huang Budo was strange.
"Kill all these mud-legged people who don't know the height of the earth!" With Lin Chao's order, the more than three hundred people behind him immediately began to draw their weapons and kill them towards the people in the Freedom Hall.
Facing the rebels rushing towards them, everyone in the hall was immediately frightened and retreated.
In the face of their retreat, neither Huang Budo nor Guo Li had any intention of stopping them. Therefore, in an instant, Huang Budo was left with only Huang Budo and Guo Li still standing in place.
Seeing the people in the hall retreating in panic, the more than 300 rebels couldn't help but be even more excited. It is much easier for them to hunt down deserters than to fight to the death with each other.
However, when they saw Huang Budo and Guo Li, who were still in place, they all thought that these two people must have been stupid by their own people.
Looking at the rebels who were getting closer and closer to their side, Huang Budo and Guo Li quickly squatted down under the incomprehensible gaze of everyone.
Then they immediately covered their eyes with their hands.
"Are these two idiots ready to get down on their knees and beg for mercy?" Seeing Huang Budo and Guo Li acting like this, Lin Chao couldn't help laughing and laughing.
But at this moment, Feng Long completely ignored the arrogant Lin Chao, and he immediately learned the movements of Huang Budo and Guo Li, immediately squatted down, and then closed his eyes tightly.
In the next second, bright sparks suddenly erupted from the top of the city wall. When the sparks struck the middle of the rebels, they suddenly exploded again.
At the same time, the shining light dazzled the eyes of the rebels for a moment. Accompanied by a shining light, there was an explosion.
When a large number of sparks continued to explode in the crowd, the rebels immediately panicked.
Many rebels who were formerly subordinate to the water bandits jumped up and down, and the scene was not chaotic.
"Don't panic, everyone, it's just some fireworks and you can't kill anyone!" Lin Chao was also a little flustered by the sudden fireworks.
But he didn't charge with the crowd, so although his eyes were glazed, he didn't worry about his own safety.
So he shouted while rubbing his eyes. But it's a pity that now the more than 300 rebels have been completely messed up, and everyone is desperately dodging the fireworks that shoot at them.
The noisy sound directly covered Lin Chao's voice.
"No, it shouldn't be like this, Huang Budo must have other backhands in this roadblock." Thinking of this, Feng Long immediately pulled over the two bandit leaders beside him, and then quickly leaned towards the city wall.
These two bandit leaders are the two henchmen he has won over before. And when they had just run a few steps, Feng Long suddenly heard the sound of several war horses running.
"Could it be that this Huang Budo ambushed a cavalryman?" Feng Long couldn't help but mutter.
"Master Feng, this is impossible, this Huang Budo is just the leader of a third-rate gang in the rivers and lakes, how can he have cavalry!" A bandit leader who was pulled away by him didn't believe it,
"That is, although this Huang Budo used to be in the Black Mask Army, but although he later quit the Black Face Army, he also offended the King of Huainan, if he dares to train cavalry in private, the King of Huainan will definitely find an opportunity to clean him up!" Another bandit leader also didn't believe that this Huang Budo could have such a powerful class as cavalry.
"Anyway, we'd better quickly get to the edge of the wall to prevent us from being surrounded on all sides!" Feng Long is also a decisive person, although he is not sure what danger they will encounter next, but he still does it according to his own ideas at the first time, even if this is likely to completely offend Lin Chao and the others.
"By the way, throw the torch away!" When there was a certain distance between him and the large army, Feng Long looked at the fire in his hand, immediately gritted his teeth, threw the torch on the ground, and quickly trampled it out with his foot.
And the two bandit leaders immediately did the same, and threw the torches to the ground and trampled them out. When the torches of the three of them were extinguished, the figures of the three of them were instantly shrouded in darkness.
Due to the distance, even the constant flashes of fire could not shine on the three of them. And just as they touched the root of the city wall, Feng Long suddenly and easily heard the sound of iron chains not far away.
"Not good! It's a chain horse! For a moment, Feng Long felt like falling into an ice cave, and he finally understood why Huang Budo and Guo Li were so calm and calm just now.
This so-called chain horse is actually two war horses connected together with iron chains. When the horse charges, it can trip the opposing soldier over a large area with the force of impact and chains.
In fact, this tactic of chain horses was first invented by the steppe tribes. And the reason why they invented this tactic in the first place was to target the infantry phalanx and the Modao team of the Dayu Dynasty.
At first, this tactic of chain horses was simply to tie an iron chain between two horses. The height of the chain is then adjusted according to the distance between the two horses.
When the infantry of the Great Yu Dynasty erected their shields, they swept the chains against the ground. This makes it easy to sweep the soldiers down.
However, this tactic was later learned by the generals of the Dayu Dynasty. As Dayu craftsmen, who are very good at innovation, they directly choose to shrink the iron chain, and then weld sharp barbs on the iron chain.
In this way, the cavalry of the Dayu Dynasty could use chain horses without adding too much load to the horses.
And this improved chain of horses will also break the chains when running, and then directly stab the horses of the steppe cavalry with sharp barbs.
In this way, the combat power of the opponent's cavalry can be greatly weakened. Of course, this improved chain of horses is a killing weapon against those infantry who do not wear battle armor.
"Mother's Huang Budo really has cavalry, not only that, but he also has a chain of horse formations, this damn madman!" Listening to the sound of the war horses running not far away, the sound of the chains colliding, before the sure Huang Budo, there was no cavalry, and the leader of the bandits couldn't help but scold angrily.
"You see, there are only 4 groups of horses in their chain, and there are not many of them, maybe our people can withstand it." The other person pointed to the chain of horses that appeared faintly in the darkness and said with a weak heart.
It's just that although he seemed to be saying this to Feng Long and another bandit leader, he was more like saying it to himself.
"If our people weren't so confused, maybe they would have been saved, but look at their current situation!" Feng Long sighed, pointed at the rebels who were blown up and down by the fireworks, and said dejectedly.
"Then what should we do now, there are our own people among those people!" After hearing Feng Long say that these rebels were no longer saved, the leader of the water bandits on his left said with some eagerness.
I knew that although there were far more than one hundred and fifty bandits under him, he knew that the number of his subordinates in the rebels represented the size of his voice.
Especially these water bandits who joined later, they were originally inferior to the rebels in the city guard camp, not to mention the people that Pan He had secretly cultivated before and the Luo Zijun soldiers brought by Nan Yi, as the leader of the water bandits, his brain was also extremely flexible, and he knew very well that the more people he had, the more advantage he would be able to take advantage of the rebels.
But now, when he watched his men being slaughtered, his heart ached. For a long time, ordinary people, including Feng Long, had heard that the cavalry was very restrained from the infantry.
But they don't know how restrained they are, after all, they are all people who have never been on the battlefield.
And tonight they really saw it. When the four groups of horses run, the awe-inspiring momentum is like the waves of the sea.
The sound of the hooves of the eight war horses trampling on them was like a constantly beating war drum. And the more than 300 rebels surrounded by a chain of horses did not realize until this time that death was rapidly approaching him with the sound of horses' hooves.
With the clanging sound of chains, the chain of horses quickly rushed into the crowd, and the chains that followed were like hot knives cutting through a block of oil.
In an instant, the originally chaotic but fairly square formation was completely disrupted.
"Help!"
"Where did the war horse come from?"
"Run!"
“······” As soon as the chain of horses rushed into the crowd, the rebels on the outskirts shouted one after another.
And at this moment, the crowd that had just been flustered by the sudden fireworks immediately became frightened.
"Don't you say that the effect of this firework is still good!" Huang Budo, who was standing on the outermost side, looked at the rebel formation that had been completely scattered and said to Guo Li.
"If you hadn't seen the so-called Jiangyong Golden Lotus on the river a few days ago, would you have thought of fireworks and played such a novel trick?" Guo Li still kept a straight face, but there was some contempt in his tone.
"Nonsense, the people who planned Jiangyong Jinlian before just used fireworks to fool ordinary people, this kind of person looks like the kind of person with a bad heart, and I use fireworks to destroy the rebels, which is a righteous move." Huang Budo shook his head and said proudly.
"Hey, but it's a bit shabby to only have four groups of chain horses, and if there were a few more groups of people, these three hundred people would be completely finished by now." Guo Li didn't want to discuss fireworks with Huang Budo.
"You said it lightly, you don't look at how many of the black-faced troops we retreated from at the beginning, that old thing of King Huainan wants us all to die on the battlefield!" Huang Budo said as he looked at the retired black-faced soldier who was riding a chain horse while controlling the direction and wielding a long sword to slash the rebels.
"If you hadn't been amazingly brilliant and stubbornly completed the tasks set by the old guy of King Huainan, we wouldn't have had a chance to survive to be discharged from the army." Guo Li couldn't help but snort coldly.
"That old thing is comfortable now, and it is said that he has a good time in Shengzhou." Huang Budo continued with an indignant face.
"If there is a chance, Lao Tzu must go to Shengzhou and beat that old thing hard." Guo Li couldn't help but turn his head to look at Huang Budo, and then said with a sneer.
"Aren't you afraid that old fellow will give you a hunt and kill order?"
"Come on, he is no longer the king of Huainan, and he no longer has the right to command the black mask army." Speaking of this, Huang Budo's face couldn't help but show a smug smile.
"Hmph, then don't be complacent too early, it is said that this old man is now very powerful in Shengzhou, and it is said that even the royal family is afraid of him, and if he is gone, the black mask army will definitely have another way to treat you!" Finally, Guo Li, who had been keeping a straight face, had a slight smile on his face.
"Hey, look at Lao Wang's equestrian decline now! The sword he cut down just now was actually dodged. Huang Budo didn't agree with Guo Li's words, he casually turned the conversation to the battlefield.
"Look at Lao Yin, he almost made people poke the horse's ass just now, this observation is really bad."
"Hey, I said that Lao Qin's shaking chain technique is so bad now, it seems that he must be lying on his mother-in-law's belly every day and ruining his housekeeping skills!"
“······” Guo Li on the side really couldn't stand Huang Budo's nagging appearance.
"I said you're not finished, it's not too early, if you can end it early, end it early! Now that we're done, it's time to get out and about! As he spoke, Guo Li turned around and walked in the direction of the city gate, where two war horses were being tethered.
"I said, do you really want to leave this Shouzhou City? Don't forget, the world is now in danger! Huang Budo quickly followed him, then put his arm around his shoulders and said.
"Think about it, the world is so big and there will be many heroes in troubled times, I have to go and see how those hidden dragons who are now in the abyss ride the wind and rain to shake the sky." Guo Li directly took away Huang Budo's hand on his shoulder.
"You readers are more stylish, and these little words are neat and tidy." A bright smile bloomed on Huang Budo's face.
Then Huang Budo walked quickly in the direction of the war horse, and Guo Li was not slow at all. The two men came to the warhorse, each drew his spear next to the warhorse, and then crossed over and got on the horse.
"Come, although we are not a hidden dragon, but Lao Tzu is at least a fierce tiger, they can sound the sound of the nine heavens, I Huang Budo can also roar the tiger in the mountains and forests, today I have to kill a good one." Immediately, Huang Budo knocked his horse's belly, and the war horse neighed, and rushed towards the panicked rebel crowd.
"You also said that I dragged the text, and you didn't do the same yourself!" Guo Li whispered a word, and also slammed the horse's belly and chased after him.
With these two people entering the battlefield, the entire rebel crowd was completely chaotic.
"Don't panic, everyone can be saved by leaning together!" In the crowd, Lin Chao swung his sword and shouted towards the panicked crowd after swinging the sword from the knight of the chain horse.
It's a pity that the current crowd has been completely messed up, and everyone is in a panic.
Especially those water bandits, they usually just bully and bully the business guys who run boats on the Huai River.
Even if it's really a dart game, most of the time they collect some money to buy the road and let people go.
There are few stunned young people who dare to argue with them. And when they really encounter those hard stubble, they will most of the time choose to negotiate rather than use the knife, if it really comes to the point where they have to do it, they will also use various means to restrict those caravans or dart games.
They won't do it until they have an absolute advantage. Therefore, strictly speaking, they can only do some things to fight the autumn wind, and they have not participated in the real battle a few times at all.
Therefore, at this time, these people are the most panicked, and at the same time, they are the people who die the most. In fact, to say that Lin Chao did not have a trace of sadness at all when these people died, in his opinion, these rabble were originally used as consumables.
It's just that now these damn guys are not only messing around and being easily slashed and killed, but also the formation of the gentleman's army he brought with him is also scattered.
For a while, he had no way to gather these subordinates of his to organize an effective defense.
"Vice Marshal Lin, these guys must be veterans who have retired from the battlefield, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that the brothers we brought will suffer heavy losses!" A gentleman army beside him ran to his side and shouted loudly at Lin Chao.
"I've been in such a mess now, it's hard for us to get our brothers together!" From the first time these four groups of serial horses hit them, Lin Chao could see that these people were definitely masters who had retreated from the battlefield.
"Now let's hurry up, the gate of the inner city gate has been blown down in the morning!" The man dragged a water bandit beside him, and the next second, a whistling war horse flew in front of the water bandit.
"Thank you!" The bandit immediately turned his head and thanked the man with a look of trepidation. But before he could finish thanking him, a sharp spear pierced his heart through his back.
"Poof!" In the next second, the spear that pierced through his chest was withdrawn, and in front of Lin Chao and the gentleman's army, two men holding spears and riding war horses appeared.
"Huang Budo! Guo Li! Lin Chao recognized the identities of these two people in an instant.
"You go and signal to retreat, let the brothers withdraw first, I'll come right away!" Lin Chao pushed the gentleman's army away, and then he faced Huang Budo and Guo Li alone.
"But Vice Marshal Lin 、、、、、、、"
"Don't fucking nonsense, hurry up and inform everyone to retreat, I can handle it myself!" Lin Chao looked at Huang Budo, who was rampaging on the battlefield, and Guo Li, who was constantly harvesting life, and the anger in his chest was about to burn him.
"Damn, if I don't kill these two guys today, what face do I have to meet Nan Shuai!" Thinking of this, Lin Chao immediately drew his long sword, and then rushed quickly in the direction of Huang Budo and Guo Li.
At this time, Feng Long and the three of them, who were hiding on the edge of the city wall, watched more than 300 rebels being constantly separated and killed by a chain of horses.
As they listened to their companions screaming and wailing, the three of them felt their hairs stand on end.
"If this group of fools continues like this, they will be wiped out, so why don't you run away!" The leader of the water bandits beside Feng Long held back his anger and complained.
"You know the, now they're just running away, it's just that the direction of their escape is all chaotic, and they're constantly driven and suppressed by these chain horses, so it looks like they're not running away!"
"Dangdang!" A rapid gong rang out in the crowd.
"Mingjin has withdrawn his troops! This Lin Chao finally did the right thing! Feng Long finally breathed a sigh of relief and said.
