Chapter 82: Reinforcements
When those pikes rushed towards us, who no longer had much combat power, I was ready to fight to the death. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But at this moment, a rain of arrows came from our side, and the pikemen who rushed towards us were all hit by arrows.
Seeing this, I knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and although I didn't know whose army it was, the other party was here to help us, and this would not be wrong!
When I looked in the direction where the arrows had come from, I saw a solemn cavalry rushing towards us.
It's okay to see these cavalrymen, but I was surprised to see a big banner with Korean characters written on it, which was exactly the same as the big flag of Hanshan I saw at Yumen Pass that day, and the preliminary judgment was that it should be the same flag.
I don't quite understand when I see this, if it is Han Shan who came to save us, then why did he delay attacking Fengcheng, but outside the city!
If he just arrived, then what has he been doing these days......
There was a cloud of doubt in my heart for a while, but no one came to answer me at this time.
When these cavalry rushed in front of us, they extended a hand to us, pulled us all on our horses, and rushed towards Fengcheng.
At this time, the golden armor asked the remaining cavalry to come and pursue us, but they were stopped by the arrows of our cavalry.
When they ran to the bottom of Fengcheng, the cavalry stopped, and one person rode out of the team, and shouted under the city: "The reinforcements of the Han family have arrived, open the city quickly!"
The cavalry shouted like this, but there was no movement in the city, and I was a little speechless when I saw the pursuers behind me getting closer and closer.
Looking at it like this, this cavalry should have just arrived in Fengcheng, and it is very likely to be the army led by Han Shan, but Han Shan didn't know where to go.
It seems that they came to the rescue of Fengcheng, but they did not coordinate with the defenders of Fengcheng, and now we are in a critical situation under the city, but no one has come to open the door for us, which is really a bit ......
"Kill!"
When we could not get under the city, the pursuers rushed at us even more quickly, and the pikemen were the first to bear the brunt.
In the face of the enemy's terrifying group charge, these Han soldiers were not nervous, and the man who only heard the shouting followed and ordered the soldiers: "Maximum strength, prepare crossbow arrows to return fire, and shoot cavalry!"
The cavalrymen then picked up the crossbow mounted on their horses, adjusted something on them, and aimed them at the enemy pikemen, ready to shoot.
I sat on horseback, just in time to get a close-up look at their crossbow machines.
With just a simple glance, I knew that this cavalry was definitely the one led by Han Shan, and the crossbow machines in their hands were all the same.
It's just that this cavalry is not only missing Han Shan, the leader, but also some fewer people, much fewer than when they were at Yumen Pass.
When the enemy's cavalry rushed to a certain distance, one of the Han family's army immediately ordered to shoot arrows, and the crossbow machine frantically ejected sharp arrows, and after throwing them, they fell into the cavalry formation that rushed over.
It must be because they have adjusted something that makes the power of these crossbow arrows extremely terrifying.
The moment the black dot of the crossbow bolt was thrown from the sky and landed among the charging pikemen, a large cloud of blood mist burst out of these cavalry, and it soared into the air like a red cloud.
Heart-rending screams followed, but before more pikemen could make a sound, they were shot alive by the bolts into a sieve.
Seeing this scene, my heart is also a little nervous, the power of this crossbow machine is many times that of ordinary crossbow arrows, put me under such a round of arrow rain, I guess I will only die!
"Crossbow bolts ready, release!"
The person commanding the Han Jiajun gave the order again, and after a burst of crossbow arrows and the sound of a spring being played, another black dot of crossbow arrows shot out and threw them into the military formation of the pikes.
Under this rain of arrows, a puff of blood mist burst out from the bodies of hundreds of pikemen, and together with the horses they sat on, they fell powerlessly on this killing field in that crazy neighing.
After only two rounds of arrow rain, the momentum of the pikes was instantly disintegrated, and some of the remaining ones who were not dead did not have the courage to rush towards us again.
However, these pikemen didn't know that these two rounds of crossbow shots had exhausted the Han family's crossbow arrow reserves.
Otherwise, the cavalry would not have chosen to put away the crossbow machines after the second round, but should continue to throw at the infantry.
Although the pikemen were directly defeated, those infantry were still fearless and continued to rush towards us, I don't know if they didn't understand the power of the crossbow machine, or if they were really not afraid of death.
At this time, the Han family army no longer had crossbow arrows in their hands, and in the face of these infantry charging over, they still did not panic, and the gate of Fengcheng had not yet been opened at this time.
"Kill!ahhh......h
The shouts of the infantry are getting closer and closer, and the distance from Fengcheng is also getting closer and closer.
Just when I couldn't figure out what these Han family troops were going to do, I suddenly found that many heads appeared on the walls of Fengcheng.
Then, an overwhelming rain of arrows in the real sense shot out from the city, turning into a black cloud of feathered arrows and pressing down on the infantry army close to Fengcheng.
The black cloud swept over one place, and the infantry there fell like wheat harvesting, and the black cloud moved almost straight, and there was not a single living person in the range of the sweep.
When the heads of the city stopped throwing arrows, the infantrymen who rushed also stopped and retreated.
As the infantry retreated, the gates of Fengcheng were slowly opened, and a general riding a white horse and armor came out of it.
I looked closely, wasn't it Han Shan, who had directly attacked Yumen Pass before! I just didn't know when he ran to the city.
"General!"
When Han Shan came out, the cavalry of the Han family army clenched their fists at Han Shan and shouted the word general in their mouths.
I saw Han Shan's gaze sweeping over these cavalrymen, and then nodded lightly, and said: "In this battle, you have merit!
After speaking, Han Shan turned around and returned to the city amid the cheers of the soldiers.
But what made me feel strange was that Han Shan's gaze seemed to deliberately stay on me for a long time, and I couldn't see through the strange light flashing in his eyes.
After following the cavalry into the city, they took us to an inn to recuperate from our wounds.
On the way there, I saw wounded soldiers everywhere in Fengcheng, which seemed to tell me how fierce the battle of defending the city had taken place before.
Fengcheng is just a small city, because of Prince Meng, there are many pairs of soldiers in this city, and when the war starts, there are naturally many wounded soldiers, and there is no place to stay, so they directly rest and recuperate in some open spaces in Fengcheng.
Compared to these wounded soldiers, the seven of us who can stay in the inn to heal are considered extremely lucky!
What made me look up to these troops was that when they brought us to the inn, the sergeant gave the innkeeper a lot of money.
Although the shopkeeper kept refusing it, the sergeant still paid him.
This scene made me feel a little emotional, and the words "Teacher of Benevolence and Righteousness" involuntarily appeared in my mind.
I think those wounded soldiers will recuperate outside, and they don't want to disturb the people living in the city!
If it is in other places, it is not impossible for an army like this to go to the people's homes to eat and drink for nothing, or even bully men and women.
And in Fengcheng, in the army under the control of Prince Meng, I saw only strict military discipline and peaceful military-civilian relations.
After placing us in the inn, the soldiers brought in a few medical officers to show us our wounds, helped us heal them, and put them in different rooms before they left.
When they were gone, I changed into clean clothes and looked at the injuries on my body, except for a puncture wound that was more serious, the other injuries were fine, and the wounds had begun to heal.
On the other hand, Shen Kuoyun and them, where they were shot by arrows, were still bleeding when the medical officer dealt with them, and they didn't know how long they would have to cultivate.
At this time, I noticed for the first time how strong my body was, and compared to other people, my body seemed to be extremely resilient.
It is precisely this ability to recover that allows me to quickly recover from the injuries I had before after falling asleep.
I always thought that the person next to me gave me some secret medicine when I was injured and unconscious, so I didn't ask too much, but now I think about it, it is definitely because of this anti-heaven physique.
However, how did I come to have such an anti-heaven physique? Could it be that I was born with it......
Although I had doubts in my heart, I couldn't think through it, so I didn't bother to think about it, closed my eyes, and rested in the inn room.
Such a big war, the consumption of the spirit is very terrifying, the consumption of the spirit is not like the consumption of the body, if you want to recover the mental power, the best way is to rest well and sleep.
It was a good night's sleep, and by the time I woke up, it was already dark. I looked around and saw that nothing was happening, so I continued to rest.
At this time, a sergeant came to my room and said that I had been ordered by General Han Shan to attend their celebration banquet.
From this sergeant's mouth, I learned that the enemy army surrounded Fengcheng very early, but they deliberately did not fall the city, but at the same time besieged the city, they set up a pocket formation outside the city, specifically hunting and killing the troops who rushed to Fengcheng.
When Han Shan killed Fengcheng before, he was severely pitted by this pocket array.
In order to take revenge and destroy this pocket array, Han Shan designed this operation outside the city, and Shen Kuoyun and I rushed in with the uncertainty factor.
Although it was an uncertain factor, we still played a good role in successfully luring the enemy army outside the city to Fengcheng, and then let the archers of Fengcheng make a success.
When I heard this, I didn't mean to be happy at all.
If Han Shan had been ready to break this pocket formation a long time ago, if we had come a little later, those people from the Shen family's eighteen horses would not have died!
Invisibly, we made a decoy and created enough hatred points for the enemy before they let them chase us frantically until they caught up under Fengcheng and fell into Han Shan's trap.
At this point, what else do I have to say, and this is not Han Shan's problem, all this happened is a coincidence!
Since Han Shan invited me to the celebration banquet, and I happened to have something to ask Han Shan, I also pushed the boat and followed the sergeant to the place where they celebrated.
I only hope that after meeting Han Shan, I can go one step further and meet Prince Meng!
The letter handed over to me by the old man should be handed over to Prince Meng by hand, and the identity of the little guy should be told to Prince Meng in person.
How far will the struggle with the crown prince go, the safety of the little guy, all of this is closely related to Prince Meng, I must meet him!
