Chapter 1604: I Can't Bear It
The rain of arrows shot by the Qingyuan cavalry is getting denser and denser, and the space on the bridge is limited, no matter how high the dodge skills of the soldiers under Luo Chong are, not long after, there are still many people who have been inserted with one or two sharp arrows, fortunately, at the moment of the arrow, they all have the sense of protection that they have cultivated after practicing countless times, and they can avoid the key point with another skill of Luo Chong's church, even if they are hit by arrows in the chest, they can also move neatly and retreat off the bridge.
If you are injured, you will retreat, go down to receive the first aid of your comrades, and someone will immediately replace you, even if, with the continuous replacement, the overall archery level will decline, but in the whole process, a large number of casualties have been caused to the Qingyuan cavalry.
On the surface, the Qingyuan cavalry attack is fierce, and our side seems to be in chaos, but unconsciously, when we look at it again, there are already more than 200 people lying on the ground on the other side of the bridge, and some of the unmanned war horses are fleeing in all directions, and some are guarding the knight's corpse and are unwilling to leave, and then they are also shot to the ground by several stray arrows that are not intended to target it.
"You've hurt so much?"
Inside the carriage, the little maid could see more than thirty retired sergeants treating their wounds.
She couldn't understand the severity of the injury, but dozens of people were gathered together, and just looking at it made people feel numb and nauseous.
The arrows are all barbed, and they have been smeared with dirt such as animal feces, and even if they don't hurt the internal organs, a little bit of it comes out of the body, it's a scary scene of blurred flesh and blood.
According to the medical level of this world, soldiers who were shot in the chest and abdomen did not die at that time, and few survived later, and often died of wound infection.
But they have the medicine concocted by Luo Chong, as long as they don't burp immediately, they can be revived.
"It's scared to death. ”
The little maid covered her mouth and muttered, "It must be painful, but why don't they call?"
Think about yourself, when you are a female red, you have to scream when you are pricked by a needle, this kind of huge pain of cutting flesh with a sharp blade will definitely make you cry and die, but they don't seem to have snorted......
Aren't these men in pain?
Just like Princess Yongning just said, don't look at them all dirty and smelly, but now it seems that they are really admirable.
Moreover, the little maid who has never had a man naturally sprouted a certain curiosity about these big men, a rather strange feeling that is difficult to explain: man, so amazing, so powerful......
The picture she could see, Yongning also saw in her eyes, and the feeling in her heart must be more complicated than that of her own maid, after all, these soldiers were injured to escort themselves.
It's just that you can't see it, and seeing it with your own eyes at this moment will naturally have a great psychological impact.
Her Royal Highness the princess was calm on the surface, but her hands were clenched tightly in her long sleeves, and a cold sweat was pinched in her palms.
With so many soldiers injured, she couldn't help but worry: that person has been standing at the front, will it ......
I'm already worried about him.
Yongning knows very well that he doesn't really like it, but pins some hopes on him, not just his own hopes.
Sou!
There was really a stray arrow flying towards this side, and coincidentally, it was aiming at the slightly open window of the princess's carriage.
Syllable!
But it flew too far away, and the end of the strong crossbow was powerless, and it fell to the ground with a light tap of the scabbard of a war knife, and Ma Hanzi, who was protecting the car, did not even blink, and his feet did not move.
The arrow was shot down, and the two girls in the car reacted at this time, and they knew that they were afraid: if they were touched by it, even if they didn't die, they would break the phase, right?
"Your Highness, let's close the window. The little maid persuaded again with palpitations.
"No!"
The princess is still so stubborn: "With them to protect me, nothing can hurt me." You see, this is the best soldier in the world. ”
He said this, but in his heart he sighed: But it is not my soldier, but his.
"Then let me get in your way. ”
The little maid said in her mouth, arching forward like a pig, but was pushed back by Her Royal Highness the Princess: "You are in the way, what else can I see?"
The little maid pursed her lips, more like a little pig......
Woowoowoo......
On the other side of the river sounded a clarion call representing a retreat, albeit only temporary.
Just this wave of impact, they lost more than 200 people, and the opposing commander would definitely feel that it was very uncalculating, the terrain was not dominant, and the cavalry and archery kung fu could not deal with Luo Chong and them.
"If it's just a temporary withdrawal, and you will think of other ways to send shocks, then it proves ......"
Meng Danzhong stood on the other side of the river and analyzed: "They already know about Princess Yongning's convoy. ”
It is not difficult to inquire about this matter, the convoy escorted by five hundred cavalry must be heavyweights, and they sent a few scouts to Muyang County, which is the closest to the southeast, to inquire about the answer.
In the battle just now, they have already lost more than 200 people, and the fool also knows that he has encountered a difficult bone to gnaw, and normally he will evacuate, after all, he is only here to rob, make trouble, and engage in sabotage.
If you refuse to leave, there is only one possibility: you already know that the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty is here.
Sure enough, the remaining thousand cavalry did not evacuate, but just stopped three hundred meters away, and sent a large number of scouts to gallop in several directions.
Help!
The commander of the other party is definitely not a stupid fork, he knows the importance of the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, and he knows how to use strategy, he is not impatient or impatient, and he is quite calm.
His intention is clear: there is no need to confront you, just to make you dare not leave the terrain advantage on the other side of the bridge, and then tie you to this place. Wait, our army will soon be coming, and it will even be a two-sided attack from behind you.
Of course, Luo Chong could guess that they would definitely keep harassing them in the future, so that their soldiers would not dare to retreat from the stone bridge and not dare to give up the favorable terrain.
Although an arrow could shoot the commander with an arrow, Luo Cheng slowly got off the bridge and said to Ma Hanzi, "I'll leave it to you first." ”
Ma Hanzi nodded in agreement, but whispered: "General, it is not good for us to delay it, after all, we can't wait for reinforcements, but they can casually recruit thousands of people." ”
This is really ironic, I don't know, I thought we were not in the land of the Jin Dynasty, but we were deep in the enemy's territory, and it was difficult to speak alone.
Luo Chong did not refute and gave his subordinates enough opportunities to express.
Ma Hanzi said again: "They think that we only know how to occupy the geographical advantage and dare not fight with their dignified horses, so it will ......."
Ma Hanzi also knew that the reason why Luo Chong chose Shiqiao was that he didn't want to see too many casualties among his soldiers, so he thought that his proposal at this moment would not be approved.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chong waved his hand lightly: "If you want to fight, just go, just leave fifty people on my side to protect the carriage." ”
"Really?"
Ma Hanzi was pleasantly surprised, if he could defeat the Qingyuan cavalry with an upright horse battle, just this sense of accomplishment would be able to satisfy himself.
Let them know who is the strongest cavalry in the world!
"I think it's a little bit early. ”
Luo Chong slowly replied: "But you must also respect your morale and blood, after all, you do have enough strength to defeat them, the question is only how big your own casualties are." ”
"It won't be too big. ”
Ma Hanzi suddenly became excited, and pulled out his battle knife with a choked sound, of course, not to cut Luo Chong, but to draw a few curves on the ground.
"General, I have some ideas, I think ......"
But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Luo Chong: "Sensei told me, this battle is yours, and you make your own decisions." My duty is to protect the princess, and fifty is enough. ”
"Yes!"
Ma Hanzi gave a military salute, turned around and left, immediately beckoned a few assistants, and began to discuss tactics.
Luo Chong walked towards the princess's carriage, while Yongning opened all the windows and watched him gradually approach with a pair of phoenix eyes.
"Your Highness, don't look at me like that. ”
Luo Chong came to the window, put the iron bow on the sidelines, and said with a smile: "It seems that I have done something wrong." ”
"Thank you. ”
Yongning said softly: "For me, let your soldiers ...... So many casualties. ”
"That injury is nothing, it's not much worse than normal training. ”
Luo Chong replied nonchalantly: "Just don't die, fortunately, there hasn't been a dead one yet." ”
"That's good. ”
Yongning's heart felt better, but he knew that there was no death now, and if a soldier died in the future, this guilt would only accumulate more and more.
Luo Chong said: "It is said that the royal family is ruthless, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness is really so kind and benevolent." ”
"When the queen mother left, I was by her side, holding her hand, but I couldn't keep her. ”
Yongning sighed in a low voice: "Death is the most ruthless, at least during this time, I really don't want to see anyone die again." ”
"There's a whole bunch on the other side of the river. ”
Luo Chong looked at Nunu on the other side of the river, where the corpses of more than 200 people were lying there, and dozens of dying and neighing war horses: "Life and death belong to the rules, and war is the most ruthless." ”
"yes. ”
She thought that Luo Chong's words meant something again, so she nodded: "The people who started the war are all royal families like us." When the same words come out of my mouth, it seems to be hypocritical. ”
"I didn't mean that, not this time. ”
Luo Chong touched his nose: "It's just small talk." ”
The veil was covered, and I could only see a smile in the corners of her eyes, but I never thought that he also had such a funny and cute side.
At this time, Meng Danzhong ran over a little angrily, and said to Luo Chong: "General Luo, what do you want to do?"
"What's wrong?"
Luo Chong glared: "Can't you talk to His Highness for a few words?"
"I ......"
Meng Danzhong was stunned, and his momentum was dissipated, and he quickly explained: "I don't mean this, you see!"
He turned around and pointed that over there, Ma Hanzi was gathering the team and preparing to launch a counterattack, and among the fifty people left for Luo Chong, they actually counted the more than thirty wounded who had just retreated from the bridge, that is to say, there were only a dozen soldiers who really had complete combat strength.
Of course, Luo Chong knew that Ma Hanzi didn't care about his own safety, but just didn't care about the princess's safety.
Ma Hanzi They have an almost blind admiration and trust for their own force, and they always feel that no matter how many enemies come, they can't cut off a single hair of their own, so there is no problem in leaving themselves alone with the princess.
Therefore, all he left behind for Luo Chong became 'old, weak, sick and disabled'.
But in Meng Danzhong's opinion, this is simply taking the safety of the princess as a child's play, you are hot-blooded and warlike, and if you want to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it's not impossible, but at least leave 200 people on our side.
I can have 200 people left to guard the convoy, no matter what, I can bear it.
But now, there are only 50 people left, most of them wounded.
Meng Danzhong, who couldn't bear it, glared at Luo Chong angrily: "General Luo, don't sue me, you can top five hundred soldiers by yourself, even if I believe this, I can't listen to it!"
