Chapter 8: The Light Horse Scout

South of Xingzhou City, thirty miles away.

"My lord, it's not good, there are cavalry approaching quickly in the rear. ”

Leng Yun, who had been running behind, suddenly ran to Leng Xinghe's side and said in a solemn voice.

"What? cavalry? How many people are there, how long will it take to catch up with us?"

Leng Xinghe, who was running for his life, was shocked when he heard this, and his heart was a little nervous, more than 30 of them were all foot soldiers, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught up.

"Listening to the voice, the scale is about fifty horses, not far away, and it takes less than a cup of tea to catch up with us. ”

Leng Yun quickly fell to the ground and listened carefully.

"Damn!" Leng Xinghe cursed in a low voice.

At this time, there was no hiding place around, and the infantry, still infantry without pikemen, fought against the cavalry in the wilderness, which was simply an act of seeking death.

"System, recruit fifty gun-wielding guards!"

After a little analysis, he knew that he couldn't think about saving spiritual gold coins at this time, and he would talk about it after the current difficulties.

[System prompt: There is no obstacle around the current lord, there are no homeless people, soldiers cannot be recruited, if you forcibly recruit, it will take a day before you can reach the lord, and the cost will be doubled!]

"Fack!"

Hearing the system's answer, Leng Xinghe found that the original system was not omnipotent, and far water could not dissolve near fire.

At this time, he could only rely on himself, and his eyes kept looking around, trying to find a place to hide.

As time went on, Leng Xinghe was a little desperate, and it would take half an hour for the nearest mountain forest to run over, and by then, I am afraid that the corpses would be cold.

Constantly admonishing himself to be calm, he inadvertently glanced at the small hill not far to his left.

Leng Xinghe's eyes lit up, yes, since there is nowhere to hide, let's start by stopping the cavalry's speed and impact advantage.

"Everyone listen to the order, the small hill on the left, go!" Leng Xinghe immediately ordered loudly, his voice was a little excited, because he saw the hope of life.

"Everyone, dig some pits under the hillside, it doesn't need to be too deep, just a little bit, and the speed should be fast!"

Before coming to this small hillside, Leng Xinghe wiped the sweat from his forehead while directing his subordinates to dig a pit, due to time constraints, he could only dig some shallow ones, but it was enough to slow down the cavalry.

"Boom~" A sound of horses' hooves sounded.

"Array! The sword and shield are in front, the spear is in the center, and the bow and arrow are behind!" Hearing this roar, Leng Xinghe knew that it was those cavalry chasing after him.

"Captain, look, there's a small group of centaurs lined up in front of you, it looks like it's trying to stop us, hahaha~"

As soon as Leng Xinghe lined up the formation, the cavalry that Leng Yun said was already close in front of him, and one of the cavalrymen laughed wildly, looking at Leng Xinghe and the others with disdain.

"Since there are people who are in a hurry to die, then it will be fulfilled for them, brothers, charge !!"

The team saw that Leng Xinghe was arrayed, and it seemed that they wanted to use the terrain to stop him, and even though they were a little annoyed, they ordered their soldiers to start charging.

Although there are only more than fifty cavalry, the momentum of the charge is still terrifying, if it were not for the loyalty of the soldiers produced by the system to Leng Xinghe, the charging momentum of these fifty people would also scare some ordinary foot soldiers.

"Huh~ It's okay, it's just the cavalry of the Yellow Army. Looking at the cavalry who rushed towards him, all dressed in yellow, Leng Xinghe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that he would encounter other cavalry, but if it was only the cavalry of the Yellow Army, he was really not afraid.

It's just that almost all of the cavalry of the yellow-clothed army are second-order cavalry, high-level cavalry, and there are very few.

Since it is a second-order soldier, there is nothing to be afraid of, just because the lord guards in his hands are all third-order soldiers.

"Archers ready, straight ahead, fifty paces in elevation, projectile !!"

Looking at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer, Leng Xinghe immediately ordered the archers to shoot.

"Whoosh~"

"Puff~" arrows into the flesh.

"Ahhh~" A series of screams came from the mouth of the galloping cavalry.

is also a second-order army, and under the prediction, the power of the projectile still has some lethality to these cavalry.

"Ahhh

The team saw that before they could get close to the other side, they were shot and killed by five or six brothers from the other side, which was really unforgivable.

For some reason, as the opponent's cavalry got closer and closer, Leng Xinghe became more and more calm: "Archers, don't attack war horses, scatter randomly!"

"Whoosh~" sparsely, and there was another bowstring vibration, and five or six more yellow-clothed cavalrymen were shot.

The team leader was no longer in the mood to care about his own fallen soldiers at this time, his eyes were full of cold Xinghe, and only by breaking his body into thousands of pieces could he relieve his shame today.

"Plop ~ plop ~ " A sound of falling horses came, including this team leader, under this hillside, suddenly the horse lost its front hooves, and was directly thrown out by the war horse.

"Sword and shield soldiers come forward and kill !!"

Looking at such a great opportunity, Leng Xinghe will not let it go.

With Leng Xinghe's order, the sixteen sword and shield soldiers in the front row immediately pounced.

The more than ten cavalrymen who fell off their horses were all hacked to death, but the team led by him was taken out by Leng Xinghe and shot directly by the Shattered Star Hand Crossbow.

But Leng Xinghe's good luck ended here, after all, the other party had fifty cavalry, and now it has only solved more than twenty.

The remaining twenty or so rushed into the array of the Cold Star River like a gust of wind.

"Bang~" "Bang~"

There was a sound of body-to-body collision, but it was the remaining cavalry that knocked out all these third-order lord guards.

"Puff~" "Ahhh

But I saw that the ten archers who were originally in the rear had been killed by these yellow-clothed cavalry.

Seeing this scene, Leng Xinghe's heart was dripping blood, there was no way, this wave of charge, although he killed a lot of cavalry.

But he didn't have many soldiers in the first place, and this instantly reduced ten long-range firepower, which made him extremely uncomfortable.

Even his third-order sword and shield guards had lost two, but the remaining yellow-clothed cavalry had lost the advantage of charge and speed.

In this case, the number of people in the third order against the second order was about the same, so naturally the battle ended quickly.

【Ding... Congratulations to the lord for completing the battle alone for the first time and getting the hidden reward]

【Hidden Reward: Light Rider Scout Ten】

As the system prompt appeared, a sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance.

Hearing this voice, Leng Xinghe's heart trembled, isn't there still it?

Leng Xinghe hurriedly ordered the remaining lord guards to mount their horses one after another.

This lord's guard can be said to be an all-round class, and this riding skill is no problem.

Seeing that the people around him were all on the war horse, Leng Xinghe was also relieved, so he picked a war horse that looked pretty good and rode it.

There is no doubt that although Leng Xinghe in his previous life could not ride a horse, Leng Xinghe's riding skills in this world are exquisite, after all, he is a child of a family, although he is just a concubine.

Leng Xinghe sat on his war horse and quietly looked at the more than ten horsemen galloping over in the distance.

When those cavalry approached, Leng Xinghe was stunned when he saw the red leather armor on the other party, but he would not relax his vigilance, after all, there were many defeated troops at this time, who knows where they were?

"Your lord, your subordinates are late, and I hope that your lordship will forgive you. ”

These ten red-armored cavalrymen had already dismounted when they were still thirty steps away from Leng Xinghe.

Judging by the proficiency of that dismount, this must be an elite.

And the words of this cavalry also let Leng Xinghe know that they are the light cavalry scouts that the system says, but there are still some things that they don't understand.

"System, can't it be summoned?" Leng Xinghe asked with a slight frown.

[As a hidden system reward, it will naturally not be restricted, and all system rewards will be sent to the lord as soon as possible, please rest assured]
