When Li Ningyuan learned that Shi Le had decided to enter the Forbidden Mountain Range alone, he was very surprised. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Shi Le assured Li Ningyuan that if he found the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi in the Miansheng Tribe, he would definitely try to bring it back.

Li Ningyuan also proposed to enter the Miansheng tribe with Shi Le, but Shi Le refused.

Just as Shi Le arranged everything and was ready to leave, news suddenly came from Anping County: the army sent by Liangzhou to conquer Drifting Snow City had reached the border.

For a while, the entire Drifting Snow City was panicked.

Shi Le rushed to the Liangzhou army in Anping County overnight to visit the camp alone, and with the help of Xiao Yue, he escaped without danger.

Through investigation, he learned that this time, Liangzhou City sent 30,000 elite divisions, intending to take Drifting Snow City in one fell swoop. The commander of the three armies is an experienced veteran general named Qi Hu, and the overseer is actually a lightless mage. In addition, the Holy Son of the Wushan Sect also accompanied him with a hundred elite disciples.

These disciples of the Wushan Sect were mixed with the scouts of the Pioneer Battalion. The beacons set up in Anping County were all uprooted one by one by their sneak attack, and they didn't have time to send a signal to Drifting Snow City.

By the time Shi Le found out the situation, the 10,000 cavalry had already crossed Anping County and was less than three hundred miles away from Drifting Snow City. The cavalry was followed by 20,000 hoplites with siege equipment.

The army that arrived so quickly made the soldiers of Drifting Snow City feel that it was difficult to resist.

Shile immediately ordered martial law throughout the city, and urgently convened a defense meeting on the tower of the south gate.

At the beginning of the meeting, Shile stripped several commanders who advocated surrender and put them into the garrison.

He raised his sword in front of the generals of the three armies and swore an oath and shouted: "The city is in the people, and the city is dead." ”

The whole army was full of enthusiasm.

Schle exclaimed: "I will lead five hundred guerrilla cavalry to fight outside the city until the battle is over! ”

When the news spread, the whole army enthusiastically signed up to join the guerrilla cavalry led by Shile.

Soon a group of hot-blooded people came together.

Shi Le looked at the warriors who looked at death as if they were at home and said excitedly: "The pensions of all the soldiers who participated in the war will be distributed on the spot, please follow me out of the city and fight bloodily! ”

The wine was brought up by a jar, and the finest horses and weapons in the city were left to the guerrilla cavalry to choose. However, most of these volunteer guerrilla cavalry were bandits. They all have their own horses and weapons that they are used to, so few of them change their equipment.

Schle deliberately selected people who had rich hunting experience and were good at using longbows to join the guerrilla cavalry regiment.

In front of the military platform, Mu Lei put on the red armor left by the old city lord for Shi Le with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, Shi Le's momentum was like a rainbow, he turned over and said to Mu Lei: "Take care!"

Murray's tears welled up in her eyes, and she shouted, "If the city is broken, I will be martyred to meet you father and son under the Nine Springs!"

Shile had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't want people to see him in tears, so he put down the protective gear on his face and jumped away.

The gates were opened, and he led the five hundred guerrilla cavalry away.

Drums thundered at the head of the city, and the soldiers defending the city all took off their heavy armor, and even went into battle shirtless. The crowd shouted, "Pray for death in battle—"

Ascend to the city gate tower and chant the scriptures loudly to pray for blessings. His voice reverberated over Drifting Snow City, calming the frightened hearts of the old and weak women and children in the city.

Mu Langqing climbed the city wall and witnessed all this silently, and he suddenly jumped off the city wall and returned to the snow wolf department.

Most of the 500 guerrilla cavalry led by Schle were carefully selected longbowmen. They all carried horned longbows that they used when dabbling in the hunt, and armour-piercing arrows, commonly known as cloud-piercing arrows.

Together, these arrows can shoot down eagles soaring through the sky or elk running up to 800 paces away.

The 10,000 vanguard cavalry in Liangzhou were only dressed in light armor, and their weapons were sophisticated swords and shortbow crossbows. The cavalry of this equipment moved swiftly and came and went like the wind, and was used to charge into battle and win a hundred battles.

Shi Le calculated that once he was surrounded by them, no one in Drifting Snow City would be able to fight his way out of the siege. So he had to strike first.

The cavalry commander of Liangzhou is precisely the commander of the three armies, General Qi Hu. And the Dull Mage and Bai Liu'er followed with the army.

Qi Hu has been through a hundred battles and doesn't take a small Drifting Snow City to heart at all. His pioneer camp was even more comfortable because of the help of the elite disciples of the Wushan Sect.

On top of a sturdy war horse, Qi Hu, who was fully uniformed, issued an order to the army: "Advance at full speed and camp thirty miles away from Drifting Snow City." After the arrival of the siege army tomorrow, after conquering Drifting Snow City in one fell swoop. I'll allow you to plunder the city for three days!"

More than 10,000 people roared with joy, and nothing thrilled them more than indulging in military discipline. That means hand-to-hand beauty, treasure, and, of course, bloody slaughter.

Suddenly, the Pioneer Battalion reported that a small group of cavalry had escaped from Drifting Snow City.

Qi Hu said disdainfully: "Order the vanguard battalion soldiers to encircle and annihilate them in two ways." ”

"No!" shouted the herald excitedly.

Shi Le led the guerrilla cavalry straight to the vanguard battalion in Liangzhou. When they were still two miles away from the pioneer camp, they suddenly headed east.

The right-wing vanguard officer in Liangzhou looked anxiously and shouted: "It's not good, they have to run, pursue at full speed!"

As a result, the 500 men of the vanguard battalion on the right flank broke away from the cover of the vanguard battalion on the left flank and began to pursue the guerrilla cavalry in Drifting Snow City alone.

Schle's line of commanders marched quickly, and he stood at the end of the break. A few pretentious elite disciples of the Wushan Sect broke away from the army and chased after the guerrilla cavalry. If it were an ordinary partisan, it would simply not be their opponent.

Unfortunately, they were confronted with a Shiler who made them feel hopeless.

"It's not good to stay at the mountain gate to practice swords, but you run to the world to help the abuse, you should be damned!" Shi Le finished speaking, and the sword on the left wing was unsheathed.

How can those people in the rivers and lakes be the opponents of the monks? Shi Le alone swept away more than a dozen Wushan Sect disciples, killing them on their backs.

But the cavalry of the following five hundred vanguard battalions all came whistling with sabers. Although Shile is not afraid, he must also avoid the edge for the time being.

Their guerrilla cavalry ran thirty miles east before entering a snowy forest.

The cavalry of the pioneer battalion also chased after him, forgetting the taboo of the soldiers who entered the camp.

When they were three hundred paces away from the jungle, a rain of arrows erupted from the jungle.

The men and horses of the front team were caught off guard and were killed by arrows. After the men and horses in the rear team were tripped by the people and horses rolling on the ground in front, they didn't have time to react and ushered in a new round of arrow rain.

In an instant, more than 200 cavalrymen of the vanguard battalion were shot.

The pioneer battalions that came one after another stayed five hundred paces away, waiting for the battle. But they miscalculated their own safe distance.

Because Kyushu's longbow distance was only 500 paces, they were accustomed to using the battle distance of 500 paces as the starting point for their charge.

In the snow forest, Shi Le waved his hand and ordered: "Change the cloud arrow to pull the longbow to the full moon, and the cavalry of the Liangzhou Pioneer Battalion five hundred steps in front of the target, release the arrow——"

"Whoosh-swish--" The sky is covered with arrows and rain covering the clouds!

"Shoot again!" Schleer ordered.

"Whoosh-swish--" The first wave of arrows was still in the air, and the second wave of arrows was rising!

The cavalry of the vanguard battalion are all elite divisions that have experienced a hundred battles. They all felt hopeless when they heard the sound of the rain of arrows.

"It's the Cloud Piercing Arrows!!, how could they have so many longbowmen?" shouted the Pioneer Battalion Commander in disbelief.

But only ruthless armor-piercing arrows answered them.

"Ahh Moments later, they were all gone!

Shile suddenly leaped out of the snow forest, and he shouted to the guerrilla cavalry behind him: "All mount your horses, and follow me!"

He still took the lead, leading the team to meet the cavalry on the left flank of the vanguard battalion.

The left flank of the vanguard battalion pounced and immediately pursued the right flank troops. They could not have imagined that in less than a cup of tea, the cavalry on the right flank would be completely wiped out.

Thirty miles outside the Drifting Snow City, standing on the top of the city gate tower, you can vaguely see the posture of the two warring sides.

After purging a few of the rampant Wushan sect's top disciples, Shi Le ordered the guerrilla cavalry to form a rectangular phalanx to wait for work.

As expected, the left flank cavalry of the vanguard battalion assembled five hundred paces away, ready to charge after the vanguard officer gave the order. This is their usual method of warfare.

Shi Le was waiting for such a method of warfare. Almost at the same time as the vanguard officer ordered the attack, Schleer also gave the order to open his bow and shoot arrows.

After the rain of arrows sounded, the vanguard officer took the lead in reining in the war horse and shouted: "Shield! This is an armor-piercing arrow, and our armor can't stop it!"

However, the pioneer battalions only carried small round shields, and it was impossible to protect their bodies on a large scale. As for the formation of a turtle's back defensive array, it is impossible to talk about it. And they were still preparing to charge a moment ago, and there were many people who thought they were brave, and their round shields were still tied to their horses before they could be untied.

The rain of arrows came at the same time as the vanguard officers woke up, leaving no time for them to repent.

After the first rain of arrows, most of them were killed and wounded. But then the second and third waves of arrows followed.

The remaining cavalry cried out in despair.

But war is merciless, and fighting is life and death.

In the end, only about two dozen wounded men remained in the vanguard battalion, and fled in disarray.

Shi Le ordered: "Chase! Don't let go of a single living mouth!"

So the guerrilla cavalry chased the two dozen remnants of the defeated army all the way like cats playing with rats. chased until it was three miles away from the cavalry army led by Qi Hu.

When Qi Hu could already clearly see their wounded soldiers, Shi Le gave an order and shot more than 20 people along with their war horses.

Qi Hu gritted his teeth in anger. He immediately ordered the left and right troops to attack in two directions, again in a vain attempt to encircle the guerrilla cavalry led by Shile.

With a wave of his hand, Shile ordered the whole team to retreat as quickly as possible, and then disappeared into the snow forest again.

This time, the army in Liangzhou was much more cautious after seeing the corpse of the pioneer battalion. They stopped far outside the snowy forest, and a huge shield was erected in front of them for protection.

Seeing that the enemy was no longer fooled, Shile had no choice but to lead his men deep into the jungle and hide for the time being.
