Chapter 403: Charging Two Against Thousand

A large number of bandits and bandits, riding a large number of horses stolen from nowhere, turned into a torrent from the official road that was not wide in the east, and under the dim morning light, they launched a charge towards the county town of Wenshui, where the city walls were not high and there were not many defenders.

It's July, and it's hot during the summer days, but even in the evening and at dawn, there is still a hint of heat. With the morning breeze blowing, this warm wind not only did not make the officers and soldiers defending the city in Wenshui County feel the warmth in their hearts, but they all trembled like falling into an ice cave. Although they all held sharp weapons in their hands, this weapon could not bring a sense of security to this group of timid officers and soldiers.

Even the garrison general who led the troops was like the officers and soldiers under him, and his whole body was like sifting chaff, as if he wanted to shake off the lice all over his body. And his complexion, although in this dim morning light, there are no more abnormalities, but his guards can easily see that his top boss's face is actually pale at the moment. Not because of the serious injury, but because I was so frightened that I couldn't help myself.

Although this garrison is already in its thirties, it has been in the army for more than ten years, from a small soldier to a county town official army garrison, facing those bandits and bandits who have attacked the ready-made dozens of times, not only is he a veteran oilman, but also has rich experience in a hundred battles. But this time, he really felt the panic.

Judging by his experience, judging by the sound of horses' hooves, which were quite far away, they were already quite loud, and the bandits who came from the east this time were numbering in the thousands. With such a large-scale concentrated operation of bandits and bandits, not to mention that there is no such large-scale cottage within a radius of dozens of miles in Wenshui County, even if it is a place with a radius of hundreds or thousands of miles in the entire Central Continent Kuching, it is basically impossible to find a bandit cottage with such a large number of people.

Unless this is a combination of dozens or hundreds of large and small cottages near Wenshui County, so many people can be gathered. However, this garrison can be known, although there are more than 100 large and small cottages within a radius of dozens of miles around Wenshui County, but these cottages are not subordinate to each other, and there are many mutual attacks, and it is impossible for common sense to act in unison. Therefore, seeing these nearly a thousand thieves charging at the same time, it really frightened this garrison.

After all, although the thieves are powerful, they are only a rabble, and only a few hundred elite troops of the imperial court can completely defeat them. And this Wenshui county is not an important state capital county, the garrison in the city is only 500 people, and it is not an elite soldier of the imperial court.

Of the 500 soldiers in this way, forty percent are veterans who have been in the army for several years, while the remaining sixty percent are recruits who have been in the army for less than a year. Although forty percent of them are veterans, these veterans are not elite soldiers who have gone through a hundred battles, on the contrary, almost all of their veterans are the kind of veterans who steal chickens and dogs when they are in a good wind, and they are happy to take sheep by hand, and when they are fighting against the wind, they are smeared with oil on the soles of their feet and escape faster than anyone else. It can be said that this group of veterans are the ones who are the best at saving their lives when fighting.

No matter how many soldiers there are, they can only bully and bully opponents who are weaker than themselves. Once the opponent is superior to his own side in terms of numbers, equipment, and individual combat power, these veterans will cringe and have no combat effectiveness at all.

And when this veteran occupies forty percent of a unit, even if most of them are still recruits, the mental outlook of the entire team will be distorted by the veterans. Unless there is a complete change of blood, the combat effectiveness index of this kind of team is already five of the scum.

It was precisely because he knew what kind of soldiers he had under his command that the garrison was extremely shocked when he saw thousands of thieves attacking the city at the same time.

How can such a soldier defend the city? How can such a city wall that is no higher than a foot high, withstand those thieves?!

At this moment, the garrison really wanted to throw away these hundreds of subordinates and run for his life first.

Or maybe it's also the heavens bless, just when the garrison was about to find an excuse to evacuate the city wall, two shadows, one gold and one black, suddenly appeared in front of the eyes of all the officers and soldiers of the Wenshui County garrison.

And the two men were driving their horses and charging towards the torrent of bandits that were getting closer and closer.

"I'm not dreaming, am I?!Two people?!" The garrison looked at the two figures in front of him in disbelief at this dawn, stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, but when he put down his hand, the two figures were still rushing towards the bandits over there.

And his subordinates, at this moment, were all stunned to look at the two horseback riders who seemed to be about to commit suicide, and they really couldn't figure out where these two people had the courage to come out of the face of so many bandits, and they dared to meet them like this.

These two people are Wang Yuelong and Ying Tianxiang. However, Wang Yuelong was suddenly excited when he saw the group of bandits who were galloping to the east and wanted to attack the city. And he didn't ask Ying Tianxiang's opinion directly, turned over and turned the horse's head directly and rushed out to the east.

"Second brother!" Wang Yuelong's movements were too fast, and it was completely beyond Ying Tianxiang's expectations, so Ying Tianxiang just had time to shout, and Wang Yuelong was already far away.

Although he knew that those bandits couldn't cause any harm to Wang Yuelong at all, but this little ancestor broke out so recklessly, even Ying Tianxiang was taken aback. And when Ying Tianxiang also rode on a horse to catch up, there was already a distance of nearly thirty zhang between him and Wang Yuelong, and this distance was still increasing.

Who is called Wang Yuelong's Thor Horse is a natural horse, and he is in the prime of life, and Ying Tianxiang's horse is also a good horse in the past, but after all, it is old, and it is not as explosive as the king of horses in terms of explosiveness and speed.

And Wang Yuelong and Ying Tianxiang charged on two horses, which naturally attracted the attention of those bandits. And when the leader of the bandit coalition who rushed ahead first saw the two people who rushed over, his face suddenly became quite ugly.
