Volume 1 The Bright Moon Chapter 20 Red Tassels
The fertile plains fed strong war horses, and the fat cattle and sheep developed the strong physique of the northern men.
Those Dachang Iron Cavalry, who terrified the enemy country, actually hit a thick layer of steel plates in this small city where the garrison looked fragile, if this matter came out, I am afraid that other countries will rearrange the status of Dachang Iron Cavalry in this world.
No one could have imagined that there would be such a change, and even Lin Pinggui was a little worried that this siege would bring a heavy blow to the morale of those cavalry.
The invincible army feared not defeat, but defeat for no reason, and they would not understand why the seemingly weak gates could not be breached.
The army had been assembled and gathered at the North Gate.
Lin Ping was guarding the passage of the city gate, the rain above the city gate kept dripping in front of him, this man looked at the iron horse in front of him through those rain curtains and nodded slightly, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "Fortunately, it's not the Zhennan Army." ’
Those cavalry reacted much faster than he imagined, in fact, even if the west city gate was not closed, he was not sure that he would be able to rush from the city before the cavalry in the east city attacked, let alone rush to the north city after rushing to deal with it.
These cavalry are still like this, if it is the Zhennan army led by him, he is really not sure that he will be able to stay here safely.
The army did not choose to surround the middle-aged man from all sides, but kept a considerable distance.
The strongest feature of cavalry is that it can charge at high speed at a sufficient distance to bring unbearable lethality to the enemy, but this autumn rain has obviously greatly weakened the most powerful advantage of those cavalry.
The muddy ground that was destroyed by the heavy rain made it impossible for those horses to maintain their original speed, and their combat power was lost a lot.
Even so, this No. 1 martial arts powerhouse of this dynasty did not dare to take it lightly, and he knew the combat power and quality of the Dachang cavalry best.
The broad palm stretched forward to catch the rain dripping from the city gate, and then clenched into a fist, Lin Pinggui moved!
He didn't choose to take advantage of the narrow terrain of the passage to hold the city gate, but took the initiative!
With a sudden force on his legs, the stone floor at the passage of the city gate instantly shattered, like the dry and cracked earth that had not waited for the rain to moisten it.
This autumn rain can't moisten the ground that Lin Pinggui stepped on.
With that muffled sound, he had already sprinted forward several feet away!
In the face of such a provocation, those war horses and soldiers will definitely not be invisible, and even if they are drenched in the autumn rain, they are still full of fighting spirit.
Iron hooves were dragged out of the puddle, and the warriors were already showing their spears, as they charged forward with the mud that could not be shaken off.
A spear struck, Lin Pinggui's left hand instantly held it, and the other palm that was as wide as a wooden basin grabbed the neck of the war horse with force, and his legs pressed against the mud on the ground.
That strong war horse could no longer sprint forward!
The five fingers contracted, and the armor at the neck of the war horse was rapidly deformed and sunk inward.
The choked horse panted heavily, wanting to retreat but found that he couldn't move at all, staring at the man in front of him with scarlet eyes, full of anger.
The cavalry who were still charging forward around them stared at this incredible picture with wide eyes, and they couldn't imagine that they were still alone in front of them.
Lin Pinggui didn't stop, with a slight tug of his left hand, the soldier was easily dragged down, and with his right hand, he grabbed the war horse that couldn't escape and pulled it to his side, and then threw it towards the other cavalry who had already rushed around him.
......
......
That's right, it was to throw the war horse out, and that war horse probably never thought that he would have such a day.
Lin Pinggui's movements did not stop, nor did they accumulate strength, and they looked more like they came naturally.
Next, those cavalry and war horses saw a picture that they would never dare to forget for the rest of their lives.
With the rain all over his body, a war horse smashed heavily towards him, and the first reaction of those cavalry was not to turn around, but to subconsciously stab the spear in his hand forward.
Lin Pinggui stood in place and nodded with a little satisfaction, because this action could save their lives and prevent them from being stoned to death by the war horse.
Several spears pierced the armor on the horse's back almost simultaneously, piercing through!
The powerful force of the impact came from the position of the gun, and the warriors who were targeted by the flying horse fell backwards hard.
But the horses under their crotches were no longer so lucky, they were knocked down by their kind and fell to the ground, some of the horses' legs had been crushed, and they kept struggling in the dirty water and let out bursts of sorrow, and several horses could not even stand up again.
It doesn't look like a fight and a fight. The soldiers who often stayed in the barracks were no stranger to this kind of image, and they felt as if they had arrived at the training camp, and the middle-aged man in front of them was the commander in charge of training them.
It's just that it's just a real battle.
The soldier who was dragged to the ground by Lin Pinggui quickly got up from the ground and quickly retreated to the rear. Staring at the strong man who stood there like a big mountain, he suddenly felt a little familiar, rubbed his eyes and shouted, "That's Commander Lin!"
In the thunderstormy weather and the galloping field of war horses, his words did not ripple at all, but the cavalry that rushed forward had slowly stopped.
It wasn't because they had heard the soldier's words, but they had already guessed who the man was from what had just happened.
The leading officer had already handed over the spear in his hand to his colleague, dismounted and ran forward quickly, and asked, "Dare to ask, but Commander Lin?"
"If I'm not, you're dead by now. With such contempt for the enemy, you should know what to do!"
"My subordinates understand!"
The officer took off his armor and threw it aside. The whole person fell down in the muddy puddle, supported the ground with two arms, and shouted behind him, "Cubs, get on the stick!"
After taking dozens of sticks with a gun, the officer got up from the puddle, stepped back on his horse, and wandered between battle and non-fighting.
"You don't have to think about it. As for the man at the south gate, his sword was sharp. Your only option is this northern gate, which the Commander is guarding. Lin Pinggui threw the spear he snatched in his hand forward casually and said.
The spear stabbed obliquely into the ground, and the splash of water and the mud slapped on the face of the horse in front of him, and the tall horse shook his head violently, obviously very dissatisfied, but when he saw the man who had returned to the position of the city gate, the anger was once again extinguished by the wind and rain.
The officer had already put on his armor again, raised his hand to wipe off the mud on his face at will, pulled out the spear from the ground and shouted loudly backwards: "Cubs, the one in front is Commander Lin, the strongest martial artist in this dynasty, if you don't want to break your arms and legs or even throw your life here, then quickly retreat and hide far away." ”
Lin Pinggui is not only the strongest martial artist in this dynasty, but also the idol of the entire Dachang military, and the worship of Lin Pinggui by these soldiers is even far greater than the respect for the Son of Heaven.
Therefore, those soldiers behind him did not have the slightest intention of retreating, because if they missed this opportunity, they would not have the opportunity to collide with Lin Pinggui again, and the soldiers who guarded their homes and defended the country could throw their lives aside for the pursuit in their minds.
When the officer saw the soldiers behind him, he said angrily: "My Dachang military discipline is strict! The military law clearly stipulates that soldiers can die, but they must not be sent to death lightly! You are violating military discipline! You should be severely punished!"
......
Seeing that the soldiers were indifferent, the officer smiled a little proudly, and he might now be able to puff out his chest proudly, and at the same time exclaim loudly, 'It's really a soldier brought out by Lao Tzu!'
But he didn't, because they had come to slaughter the city, and he didn't dare to say such things on such an occasion, and he didn't want to come home one day and hear from his fellow villagers that he had besieged a city of his own dynasty with an army.
He took off his armor again, removed the tip of his spear, threw it at his side, lay on the ground and said, "Then punish it severely!"
The hundreds of cavalrymen behind him were not dissatisfied when they heard the word severe punishment, but their eyes were extremely bright, and they all forcefully removed the heads of their spears and removed their armor. After dismounting, they are automatically divided into two teams, one with a spear in hand and the other with their arms on the ground.
The sound of the sticks began to sound very regularly.
Lin Pinggui looked at the men lying down in the mud, looking at the red tassels that kept rising and falling in the air, fluttering, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he muttered to himself: "A spear without a tip is interesting." ”
The two teams began to swap, and it was not until night fell that they re-mounted their horses and were about to charge again, the physical pain could not stop the excitement in their hearts, and in this bleak night, there was no longer the cold light of the tip of the spear, only the red tassels fluttering in the air.
......
Most of the city's residents lit up their lights and enjoyed the dinner that had been prepared.
After dinner, listening to the sound of rain and thunder outside, and sleeping beautifully in a warm futon, it is a very comfortable thing.
In such weather, no one would want to go out, let alone come to the city gates, nor would they see the military horses that could no longer stand up, and the unarmored soldiers lying in the muddy ground panting heavily, and the red tassels on the ground that were covered in mud but could not hide their color.
If the inhabitants of the city learned of the dangers that were happening in the city, they would not sympathize with the soldiers, and would even applaud what was going on with them.
But the middle-aged strong man who was still standing firmly at the gate of the city did feel distressed for the helplessness of those soldiers, and the iron-blooded tenderness was about the same.
Looking up at the sky, I thought about how I would feel if the Zhennan Army reached this step one day?
But what they didn't notice, or didn't bother to pay attention to, was that there seemed to be a big black mouse running back from the city gate, and the two empty bamboo baskets had been turned to the ground, holding the flat pole in their arms, looking extremely panicked.
