Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Real First Battle

Prince Hicks, who thought he had everything under control, led the army to slowly advance towards Manchuan Pass.

It wasn't until they were twenty miles away from Manchuan Pass that the scouts reported that there was no Qinling rout ahead and that Manchuan Pass was still in the hands of the Qinling people.

Prince Hicks was shocked, angry at the unreliability of Isaiah Darkleaf, and worried about the safety of the partial army led by Isaia and others.

The army immediately accelerated to Manchuan Pass, and after camping 5 miles outside the pass, Prince Hicks and his generals stood outside Manchuan Pass and stared at the wall.

There is no trace of a great war! Where did Isaia and the others go? Could it be that he was greedy for merit and had already led his army to Vientiane County? Prince Hicks's doubts became more and more serious, and he was really overwhelmed by the strange scene in front of him.

After Huangfu Le Sheng's retribution, he stood on the wall, holding on to the wall battlement, and watched this elven army from afar. He also saw the whereabouts of Hicks and the others, but he was a little worried about Zhou Yi's safety.

Zhou Yi led the Zhenghuang Banner and the Zhenghong Banner almost staggered with the front and rear feet of the elven army, one had already led the army away, and the other led the army to arrive.

"Be on strict alert! All kinds of equipment to defend the city must be fully prepared and ready at any time!" said Huangfu Lesheng to Yan Junxia of the 91st Division, who suddenly received the order. After saying that, Huangfu Lesheng turned around and went down to the city, and he was still busy reorganizing and replenishing the Seventh Army into the three divisions under his command.

Under the city, the blue veins on Prince Hicks' head loomed, and he suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Go back to the camp!

The group turned their horses' heads and galloped towards the camp, and it seemed that only the life of the elves could break the fortified city in front of them.

Zhou Yi didn't go far with the army, but just avoided the elven army from afar. According to the previous training plan, Yue Feijie led 10,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 archer cavalry to ambush in the distance, while Yun Mo and Zhou Yi led 20,000 archer cavalry to slowly advance towards the elves' rear army.

Prince Hicks, who was discussing in the big tent and preparing to arrange the siege of the city, was alarmed by a noise in the direction of the rear army, and then an officer opened the tent door and walked in and said: "Your Highness, Qinling archers have been found in the rear, and the number is about 20,000!"

"Well, let the cavalry attack! Be sure to defeat and destroy this Qinling cavalry army!" Prince Hicks raised his eyebrows, the cavalry of only 20,000 people was not enough, and it was just to destroy it directly. The most important thing at the moment is to break through the Manchuan Pass and find out the movements of the Isaia army.

The officer was ordered to go down and arrange for two 10,000-strong wildebeest cavalry to go into battle.

Zhou Yi'an sat on his war horse, and the army behind him stood in a formation of two hundred people scatteredly, which made it easy to escape.

During the battle, the soldiers in the front row immediately turned their horses and retreated after shooting arrows, and the soldiers in the back row went forward to continue shooting arrows, and then also retreated from both sides, and so on. The last row is Zhou Yi's 200 personal guards, and they are the troops behind the palace. Dressed in leather armor and lined with soft hedgehog armor, it can effectively resist the arrows of the elves. Their skill ensures that they can shoot back when they escape.

Zhou Yi's heart was both excited and uneasy, after all, this was his real battle. In the past, it was at most a few hundred people fighting or relying on the sad breeze to take advantage of it, but now there are only a few thousand gold coins left on his body, and he can't afford to buy a powerful pill at all, this is the time to see the real chapter.

Every man actually has a trace of longing for the life of Jin Ge Iron Horse in his heart, especially modern people who have never known the cruelty of the battlefield, Zhou Yi is like this.

There was a commotion in the elven camp ahead, and then he saw two cavalry teams of 10,000 people rushing towards him. The war horse ridden by the elves is somewhat interesting, with two spiral horns on its head, and its body looks very petite, of course, this is just worthy of the general petite height of the elves.

This should be the elven clan's wildebeest! If it weren't for the two horns, I would have thought they were riding unicorns! However, although this kind of wildebeest is very fast, its endurance is far inferior to the Qinling war horse of the empire! Zhou Yi smiled evilly in his heart, and looked at the elf cavalry who quickly came to a stop a hundred meters in front of him, and thought maliciously.

"What army are you?" said an elf in ornate armor from one of the elven cavalry, a captain. When he saw the bright yellow and bright red tiger battle flags of this team, he really hadn't seen it in the intelligence of the Qinling army.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter which army we are, just know that we are here to ask for your life!" Zhou Yi sneered. Then there was a sound of bows and arrows winding behind him, and in the frightened eyes of the commander and the elven cavalry behind him, and in the panic raised their arms and shields, thousands of feather arrows came from the yellow flag and the red flag.

These elves really don't understand why this Qinling officer is so unruly, how can he suddenly kill when the two armies answer in front of the formation, this is too shameless. Zhou Yi doesn't care about the elves or these rules on the mainland, no matter if the white cat or the black cat can catch the mouse, it is a good cat, as long as he can defeat the enemy, he can accept it as a modern soul.

The truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit, Zhou Yi's ancestors in his previous life have already said it.

The half-elf cavalry in the first five teams of the "Xiu ......" quickly launched a charge, and after going forward twenty meters, they quickly shot two feathered arrows, and then turned the horse's head, turned around and fled from the side without looking back.

Zhou Yi also sneered and attacked the officer who was suspected of being a captain with a feather arrow, but his poor archery skills were too bad, and the elf captain dodged the feather arrow and quickly retreated into the formation.

Zhou Yi sighed in annoyance, and also retreated with the front army.

This first round of shooting caught the elves off guard, and the feathered arrows thrown at the elves shot down more than two hundred elves under the horse. Then the overwhelming feather arrows continued to fall into the elven army, and the screams of the arrows one after another suddenly reverberate.

However, the next few rounds of shooting had few results, and the elves had already reacted, drawing their long swords and charging while blocking the feather arrows, and some of the soldiers who were good at mounted archery also drew their bows and arrows and shot at the half-elves.

Seeing that they could no longer take advantage, the half-elf soldiers who had already been cultivated by Zhou Yi turned their horses' heads one after another, followed the retreat of the front army, and left the last two hundred personal guards behind the end of the team.

Originally, seeing these shameless sneak attacks, the villains fled one after another, and the elven cavalry, who were full of preparations to catch up and take revenge, lost one or two hundred people again. These guards are all masters above the seventh level of the day after tomorrow, equivalent to the high-level life knights of the elf clan, and their bow and arrow skills are not easy to dodge.

After the guards finished shooting a round, because the wildebeest's sprinting ability was stronger than that of the Qinling war horse, in order to prevent being entangled by the elves, they had to turn the horse and escape.

"Ahh

Zhou Yi's mood at this time was very comfortable, and the actual combat proved that his tactics were effective. Listening to the shouts and kills of the elves behind him, his mood was even more happy, and the fish bit the hook!

The guards at the back sat on the high-bridge saddle specially designed by Zhou Yi for the archers, riding their horses and running away, and the other side kept turning back and firing arrows. Although the elven cavalry's wildebeest sprinted fast, it could not resist the pursuit of the horse and dodge the attacking arrows and arrows that fell to the ground, and the speed could only be slowed down.

In fact, compared with half-elves, the elves are not inferior in archery. But without a Takahashi saddle, unless you ride amazingly, you can't shoot arrows on a horse anymore.

"Shameless! shameless! coward!" Seeing the precious cavalry fall one after another under the arrows of this strange Qinling army, but they couldn't even touch a single hair of them, the faces of the two captains were pale, and then they shouted and cursed loudly, and the elves around them also shouted and cursed.

Listening to the self-proclaimed noble elves in the rear from a distance, Yun Mo looked at Zhou Yi who was riding away from his side with a strange face, and it was the first time he had seen such a shameless and strange tactic.

"Don't you think this tactic is shameless! Don't pay attention to the elves in the back, they just want to provoke us to fight with them in close combat! War is cruel, it has nothing to do with shamelessness or shamelessness, victory and the lives of soldiers are the most important!" Zhou Yi seemed to know that Yun Mo looked at him, and he didn't look back, he just smiled and said: "Yun Dutong, wait and see, there will be a good show in a while!"

The sound of shouting and killing, scolding, screaming and horses' hooves shook the entire business road slightly. The elven cavalry is good at horse fighting, and they are in hot pursuit of the Qinling cavalry in front.

After a non-stop pursuit of nearly 20 miles, the hot heads of the two captains were finally awakened by the cold wind, and they stopped the pursuing team worried that there was an ambush ahead. At this time, the neat formation of nearly 20,000 wildebeest cavalry had become sparse because of the speed of the horses. After stopping the pursuit, the two hurriedly gathered their team and prepared to return.

Seeing that the pursuers stopped, an even more shameless scene appeared.

The half-elven cavalry, who was still running for their lives just now, turned around and pounced on the elves again, still greeting with the same feathered arrows, and shot down dozens of elves again.

Seeing this, without waiting for the two captains to order, those low-level officers led the elves to charge again, and the two captains had to follow, and the half-elves of course turned their horses and fled again.

There was another period of pursuit, and after about ten miles, most of the wildebeest under the seat of the elven cavalry in the rear were already so tired that they were foaming at the mouth. And the entire chasing team has also entered the ambush circle scheduled by Zhou Yi, and after Zhou Yi understood the characteristics of wildebeest, he specially scheduled to ambush the heavy cavalry here forty miles away.

In the last ten miles, I don't know how many cavalry were left behind, and how much horsepower was spent, the elven cavalry finally saw the Qinling people in front of them stop. The excited elves roared and brandished their swords, and were about to drive the tired wildebeest to rush up to greet these shameless villains, but the excited expression on their faces instantly froze, replaced by deep fear.
