Chapter 1104: The First Battle

Si Lun acted vigorously and resolutely, and on the same day, he dispatched troops and besieged the small and broken Dingbian City.

The blind man can see that the Ming army in the city has run out of oil and lamps, and it is easy to pick this peach, because his generals are asking for battle, and they are all shouting to avenge the sword warrior and the dead compatriots.

Si Lunfa was not in a hurry, and said lightly: "Dingbian City is there, and you can eat it at any time." But if you eat the bait first, how can you catch a big fish? Don't worry, wait until the fish is hooked. ”

"Yes." The generals responded.

"Take advantage of these few days to rest and recuperate, so that the sons and daughters can recharge their energy and face Mu Ying."

"Yes." The generals had no choice but to be patient and besiege first without attacking.

Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, and the big fish came.

It's just that this big fish came much faster than they expected......

~~

Si Lunfa has always been cautious, and while besieging Dingbian City, he also sent a 'Golden Umbrella Horn' named Zhaohua Lang to lead two thousand 'Lang Munai', that is, the troops in charge of reconnaissance, to the south entrance of the Nanjian River Valley to guard against a sneak attack by the Russian Tao Division.

Although he didn't believe that Otao had the courage to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it never hurt to be lenient and cautious.

So Zhaohua Lang didn't have time to rest, so he took Lang Mu's cavalry and rushed to Nangukou to start patrolling.

The people in the warm sunlight were drowsy, and the Luchuan cavalry swayed on horseback, all a little lazy. First, from Mengmao to Dingyuan, they were thousands of miles away, and they were indeed a little tired after marching all the way here. Second, they are the most elite Lang Munai, and it is not a problem to clean up the stinky fish and rotten shrimp of Otao.

"Cheer up." Seeing that his subordinates were too lax, Zhao Hualang scolded loudly. "Be on guard!"

"Yes." His subordinate Lang Mu is unevenly answered.

"Don't worry." His deputy smiled: "Our army of 300,000 is here, and those guys in Otao must have run as far as they can, and they dare not touch the tiger's butt if they have the guts." ”

"Yes." All Lang Muno also whispered, and they all felt that the loudspeaker was too careful.

Zhao Hualang's face was not good, and he was about to scold his subordinates when he heard a dense swishing sound......

His face changed greatly, and before the words 'enemy attack' could be spoken, he snorted, and a carved arrow hit him in the face!

If Zhao Hualang was struck by lightning, he didn't scream, so he fell straight and fell off his horse.

Dozens of 'Lang Munai' were also hit by arrows and fell off their horses, and the rest of the people hurriedly leaned over to dodge, and for a while people turned on their backs, and the scene was chaotic.

"There are enemies!" While they were screaming in exclamation, they lay on their horses, looked around, and sure enough, they saw a large group of enemy soldiers lying in ambush on the slopes on both sides of the valley mouth.

"Kill!" Shocking shouts of slaughter rang out in the valley, and the enemy launched a charge. The horses' hooves are rolling, and the enemy army is also cavalry!

And unlike them, the lightly armed cavalry who only wore cuirasses and helmets, those cavalry who rolled in wore helmets, helmets, and long iron armor with water-mill willow leaves, and even their war horses wore metal iron red vests!

This kind of heavy cavalry with men and horses is the most elite armored cavalry of the Ming army!

After the Ming cavalry launched a charge, they fired another round of arrows on horseback, knocking down a large part of the Luchuan cavalry. It was only when he got close that he hung the hard bow back on his saddle, drew out a horse's lance a foot long, and rushed into the chaotic enemy formation.

The Ming army's horse lance, the head of the lance is long and wide, and it is open on both sides, and with the force that rushes down from a height, the thin copper armor on the Luchuan army can be easily torn apart like a paper shell, not to mention their flesh and blood. When it touches it, it splits the flesh and separates the flesh and bones!

Lang Muno came up and folded the main general, and was caught off guard, the whole was stunned, and he couldn't organize an effective counterattack at all, so he could only rely on his personal courage to fight the beast. But the weapons in their hands were easy to cut down on the Ming army, but they only brought strings of sparks, and they couldn't hurt the other party at all.

The Luchuan cavalry looked at the effect of their attacks in disbelief, and wondered how to fight this battle? was stunned, and was swept off the horse by the Ming army's horse lance and trampled into mud.

This is the strength of the armored cavalry, except for the pikemen who are aimed at them, and the heavy cavalry who are all in iron armor like them, it is difficult for other arms to hurt them.

In the case of a successful surprise attack, he naturally cut melons and vegetables, and killed the Luchuan soldiers.

Those 'Lang Munai' who were in the rear were still out of the way for the time being, and they raised their javelins one after another, and they didn't distinguish between the enemy and me, and they projected towards the two armies of cavalry that were twisted together.

was also shot by a javelin, and the Luchuan cavalry was directly chilled, screaming and falling off their horses. However, the fine willow leaf armor on the cavalry of the Ming army could block the javelins from penetrating, but it only caused flesh wounds, and it did not affect their battle!

Seeing that the Ming army obviously had javelins on their bodies, they could still wield a horse lance and kill all sides. Lang Munai, who was in the back, completely dispelled the idea of supporting his comrades.

In the face of this group of terrifying Ming cavalry who can't be injured by swords and can't pierce guns, now they are not going up to save people, but to send them to death!

So Lang Munai, who had not yet joined the battle group, turned his horse's head one after another and fled back to the camp in the river valley. As for the comrades who were caught by the Ming army, they could only ask for more blessings.

The Ming army did not pursue them either. The armored cavalry was not used for pursuit, the men and horses were covered with heavy armor, and the tired war horses could not catch up with the light cavalry. only killed the Luchuan soldiers who couldn't escape, and then withdrew the troops.

~~

Soon, the surviving Lang Muno fled back to the Luchuan camp in embarrassment.

When the defenders saw Lang Munoi, who was showing off his martial arts, he lost his armor at this time, and he was embarrassed, and he couldn't help but laugh, and some people whistled.

It can be seen that you should not be too arrogant in life, otherwise there will always be ugly times.

Si Lunfa couldn't laugh, he listened to the report of Deputy General Lang Munai who fled back with a pale face, and asked with anger:

"How many enemy soldiers are there?"

"Back to the king, about five hundred......" the deputy said.

"Five hundred?" Si Lunfa couldn't help it at that time, and suddenly raised his voice and said, "You mean that the five hundred Ming army defeated the king's two thousand Lang Munoi?" Even your big horn, I killed seven or eight hundred of you?! ”

"Yes......" the lieutenant nodded fearfully.

"Stupid, rubbish, rice bucket!" Si Lunfa broke the defense on the spot and scolded.

"Are you sure they're the Ming Army?" At this time, Dao Gan Meng asked the deputy general softly.

"Definitely." The adjutant general nodded again, still not breaking free from the fear brought by the armored cavalry, and said: "They are wrapped in iron armor all over their bodies, even the war horses are armored, except for the Ming army, there can be no second elite like this." ”

After a pause, he defended himself again: "In addition, we were caught off guard by their sneak attack again, so we lost so much." ”
