Chapter 485: Fearless of Death
Looking at Li Zijun's back, Hope had the heart to catch up and ask what was going on, but he thought about it and finally gave up the idea. Just according to Li Zijun's order just now, he urged the team to maintain the original speed and continue to move forward.
About an hour later, a team without any banner appeared far away in the sky, weighing Li Zijun and their inevitable path.
Rogge, who was in charge of opening the road in front, couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene, and he immediately ordered the troops to prepare for battle, and at the same time sent someone to report the situation to Li Zijun in the rear.
"Don't worry, it's our people!" After staring at it for a while, Diarra, who was beside Rogge, let out a long breath.
"Our people?" Rogge had been preparing to attack Fengqi's third line of defense, when he heard Diarra say, 'It's his own people in front', his eyes couldn't help but be full of doubt.
"There's no mistake, it's Prince Marcus at the front of that team!" Diarra said, turning to look at Prince Maher, both of whom had a look of shame.
"The pursuers behind are here, we can't directly enter His Highness Marcas's camp and impact their defensive formation!" I don't know when, Li Zijun has also come to their side.
"Rogge, General Hope, you immediately divide our team into two parts, and each of you will lead a team to bypass on both sides of His Highness Marcas!
"Yes!" Rogge and Hope, who were still a little skeptical about Li Zijun's plan, had already dissipated the doubts in their hearts at this moment, and they became more determined to carry out Li Zijun's orders!
"Your Highness Maher, Lord Diarra, shall we go over and meet His Highness Marcus together?" After Rogge and Hope left, Li Zijun made a 'please' gesture to Maher and Diarra.
'Ugly daughter-in-law will have to see her in-laws sooner or later!' Maher and Diarra looked at each other and smiled wryly. They nodded to Li Zijun.
As soon as the three of them started, Diarra felt that Li Zijun was obviously stunned. His expression suddenly became solemn.
"General Ed, is there something wrong?" saw Li Zijun staring back. Diarra couldn't help but ask him.
"It's okay, it's okay! I'm just looking at how far away they are!" Hearing Diarra's question, Li Zijun's expression immediately relaxed, and he smiled and waved his hand.
"They're coming fast enough, I'm afraid we'll have to speed up a bit, or we'll have no time to greet His Highness Marcas!"
Maher was already like a frightened bird at the moment, and when he heard Li Zijun say this, he immediately sped up.
Although Diarra didn't fully believe what Li Zijun said, he really couldn't find a flaw in Li Zijun's words, so he had to keep speeding up with Li Zijun and Maher.
"The two princes, please step back somewhat. The pursuers will be arriving soon, and we must be ready for battle!" The two princes greeted each other, still considering how to start the topic, when Li Zijun suddenly interjected.
Marcas and Maher were slightly stunned by Li Zijun's slightly rude behavior, but in the end they listened to Li Zijun's opinion and retreated to the rear of the team.
Diarra was also going to follow the two of them together, but he didn't expect that Li Zijun would pull him at this time:
"My lord, the two generals, Rogge and Hope, are still taking care of the wounded, can you stay and help me command the team?" Li Zijun asked Diarra with a smile on his face.
Diarra was suspicious of Lee's motives. But in view of Li Zijun's protection of him and Prince Maher along the way, at this time, it was really difficult for him to refuse Li Zijun's request, so he had to nod his head in confusion.
"Thank you, sir!" saw Diarraken stay. Li Zijun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"The whole army is ready to fight!" Li Zijun thanked Diarra and gave the order to prepare for battle.
"General, as far as I can see. The cavalry behind us is no more than two or three thousand men, and we now have several times as many troops. At this moment, they are waiting again, do they really dare to attack us?" Diarra saw Li Zijun so actively preparing for the battle. He was a little puzzled.
"It's better to prevent problems than to do them before they happen!" Li Zijun smiled at Diarra and gave an ambiguous answer.
After answering Diarra, Li Zijun instructed Bridget to fetch him a hard bow, and he bent his bow and arrows, completely ready to fight.
At this moment, the sound of Feng Qi's chasing horses' hooves gradually came, Diarra frowned and listened for a while, and suddenly showed an extremely surprised expression on his face, he couldn't help but immediately turn his gaze to Li Zijun's body, and his eyes instantly became extremely complicated!
As Li Zijun expected, Feng Qi's pursuers simply sorted out the formation and launched an attack on them without any scruples.
Because of Li Zijun's reminder, the Ao Jin Army was not too surprised by the abnormal behavior of Feng Qi's pursuers, and they clenched the weapons in their hands one after another.
The archers even raised their bows and arrows in their hands, and just waiting for Li Zijun's order, they could launch the first round of attacks on Fengqi's pursuers.
It's just that most of these people haven't experienced the baptism of the war, and they are inevitably a little apprehensive in their hearts, and their tension one by one is instantly overflowing.
Li Zijun, who was in the spotlight, suddenly closed his eyes at this moment, and a faint smile appeared on his face unexpectedly, as if he was full of confidence in the upcoming battle.
Li Zijun's expression greatly soothed the mood of the Aojin soldiers, their breathing became smoother and smoother, and their tense muscles gradually relaxed.
And Li Zijun's 'performance' was still not over, he actually jumped lightly and stood up on horseback with a smile on his eyes.
Slowly pulling out the hard bow in his hand, at this moment, the smile on the corner of Li Zijun's mouth became thicker!
What is the general going to do? The Fengqi cavalry hasn't come into our range yet, isn't it?
"Whoosh!" Just as the Aojin soldiers were making all kinds of guesses in their hearts, the arrow in Li Zijun's hand came out of the string and flew straight into the vast sky.
This arrow quickly disappeared from the field of vision of the Aojin soldiers, and they quickly set their eyes on Feng Qi's camp with doubts and incomprehension.
"Bang!" As a silver light streaked across the sky, a Fengqi cavalryman and his horse fell to the ground.
Twice as long as the normal range of the enemy in the middle of the fire! Both sides could not help but widen their eyes at the arrow, and for a moment, they could not believe what they saw.
"Oh!" the Aojin soldiers were the first to react, and they erupted in earth-shattering cheers for this 'miracle'.
"Archer preparation?" As the creator of the scene just now, Li Zijun was unusually calm, he seemed to have forgotten what he had done, and calmly announced his orders.
Because of this arrow, the Aojin soldiers had an almost blind trust in Li Zijun, and although they saw that the charging Fengqi cavalry had stopped advancing, the archers did not hesitate to draw their bows and arrows.
Almost at the same time as Li Zijun announced the order, the Fengqi soldiers really started again, this time they looked even more crazy, the expressions on their faces became a little hideous, and they quickly entered the range of the Aojin archers.
"Release!" With Li Zijun's order, thousands of arrows rose into the air, wrapped in a thick cold air, and shot straight towards the Fengqi cavalry.
"Ding Ding Dong!" This team was very different from the Feng Qi army that Li Zijun had encountered in the past, they either resisted with shields, or used weapons in their hands to call, or cooperated with each other, and it was not very difficult to block this round of 'arrow rain' of the Aojin soldiers.
Although the Fengqi cavalry also had those who were hit by arrows, almost no one was hit. And what surprised Li Zijun even more was that their speed of action was not greatly affected.
With such a expression, Feng Qijun himself was also very satisfied, and the shadow formed by Li Zijun's previous arrow in their hearts seemed to have faded a lot.
Just when the Feng Qi army was a little relaxed, the second round of the Aojin army's 'arrow rain' came unexpectedly, although this round of 'arrow rain' was far less uniform than the first round, but because it appeared much earlier than Feng Qijun expected, it caused them greater casualties. At least one-fifth of the Fengqi cavalry suffered light or severe arrow wounds in this round of attacks by Aojin.
The speed of archery is the most striking characteristic of the archers of the Seventh Reserve, but in this way, the differences between the individuals will be revealed, and the lack of wholeness will inevitably have a certain impact on the threat to the enemy.
During training, Lee and Marcus had a headache about how to choose between 'suddenness' and 'wholeness'. In the end, in order to highlight the suddenness of the attack, the two decided that the archers could release their arrows alone without waiting for others in the second round of attacks, provided that they were accurate.
It was precisely because of the decision made by the two of them that this well-trained Fengqi cavalry suffered a lot of losses today!
The Fengqi cavalry did not waver because of such setbacks, and the 'Lesson of Blood' seemed to have strengthened their determination to rush into the Aojin camp, and they constantly whipped their mounts to increase the speed of their sprints.
Looking at the Fengqi cavalry who were brave and fearless of death in the 'rain of arrows', Li Zijun couldn't help but secretly cheer for them in his heart!
It's just that this is a battlefield after all, and even if Li Zijun admires them again, he won't have the slightest mercy.
After seeing the Fengqi cavalry enter the set range in his heart, Li Zijun waved one hand expressionlessly, and the outermost Aojin soldiers immediately retreated, revealing the antlers that had been hidden behind them.
Antlers are the nemesis of cavalry! When the Fengqi cavalry saw the rows of antlers that had been connected together, they couldn't help but have a desperate expression on their faces. (To be continued......)
