Chapter 2 Anti-interception
There was a sound of horse hooves in the distance, and the large group of cavalry entered the dense forest where they were ambushed earlier.
Although this cavalry team is also in Yanrong uniforms, it is completely different from the scouts who were intercepted earlier. Everyone wears soft armor and holds spears. You must know that Yanrong is a nomadic people. Although they have strong combat power, they have no iron smelting skills.
Very backward.
Generally, Yan Rong cavalry will only wear military uniforms in battle. Military uniforms are the costumes of this nation. They are tight-fitting and narrow-sleeved robes. There are cross collars and square collars, long and short. The long one reaches below the knee, and the short one is only
Knee-length.
Although this kind of military uniform is light and convenient, it has no defensive capabilities and is very easy to be injured once the soldiers come into close contact. And this team of cavalry can wear soft armor, which shows that they are an elite Yan Rong army.
The leader did not wear armor, but was dressed in fine clothes, exuding an aristocratic aura.
With a gloomy expression, he scanned the battlefield that had not been cleaned up. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen people immediately dismounted and searched everywhere. The noble prince clasped his hands behind his back and looked into the distance.
After a while, a general stood behind him and said, "Sir, I'm sure, it's the team that was sent out before. There are quite a few of them, and the bodies are all here."
"Where's the stuff?"
"No, we've searched them all." The general hesitated for a moment, then continued: "Looking at the soil here, it should have been dug up not long ago. According to the general's calculations, the ambush will occur within two hours at most.
Logically speaking, they can’t go far yet.”
A sneer appeared at the corner of the man's mouth. "These people are really brave. They dare to pursue you so far. Now that you're here, don't go back. The closest one to here should be Wuguan. You go ahead with three hundred elite cavalry."
You must hold them back, I will come soon."
"No!" General Pian got on his horse, and a group of cavalry quickly chased in the direction where Qian Chenyue and the others had evacuated.
It was early autumn, the weather was still quite cool, the sun was slowly setting, the sky was starting to get dark, and a danger was approaching.
Centurion Wang Gui saw that it was getting late and was wondering if he should rest here for the night. Hou Yong, the corps commander who had joked earlier, slapped his horse and asked: "Should we rest here tonight and start our journey again tomorrow morning?"
It is estimated that it will take another seven or eight hours to return to camp."
Wang Gui hesitated for a moment: "We won't camp anymore. Let's take a rest and eat some dry food first, and try to get back to Wuguan before dawn." Thinking about the city defense deployment of Wuguan, Wang Gui felt a little uneasy. After hearing this, everyone dismounted.
They took out their respective bags of dry food and started eating.
Chenyue sat down on the ground, took out the dry food and started to eat it. As he was eating, he suddenly noticed something was wrong. He turned around and looked into the distance. A group of cavalry was coming towards him in the distance, and there was a murderous atmosphere.
Coming towards me, the centurion stood up suddenly: "Something happened!"
Wang Gui looked at the group of Yan Rong cavalry wearing soft armor and shouted, "Mount your horse! Fight!"
It is too late to retreat at this time. If the enemy catches up while escaping, the only result of facing the enemy with your back is to be massacred. The only hope is to consume the opponent's physical strength in the cavalry battle**
, and he has to survive before he can wait for an opportunity to retreat.
Everyone stood with their swords drawn, silently waiting for orders, and slowly lined up in two lines. There were only a hundred riders in total, and there was no width or depth in the lineup. The centurion knew in his heart that today would be a bloody battle.
Chen Yue's heart tightened. This was his first time riding on horseback. Although he had practiced riding horses since he was a child, it was the first time for hundreds of cavalry to collide with each other. What's more, this time everyone came out with only crossbows and sabers. The company commander
There are no spears, so the advantage when breaking the formation for the first time is missing, every inch is longer and every inch is stronger!
Moreover, the bows and arrows have lost their effect at this time. Before you can fire the first round of volleys, the cavalry will rush in front of you. By then, the charge will be lost, and your own camp will collapse in a single charge, and you will have no choice but to be massacred.
.
The cavalry moved very fast, and they were very close in the blink of an eye. Wang Gui waved his sword handle: "Charge!" After saying that, he started to charge. A whole row of cavalry formed a cone-shaped front line with Wang Gui as the center.
Yue was in the second row, because the veterans were in front to resist the first wave of charges, and the recruits were in the back to avoid a large number of casualties in the first round of contact.
The Yan Rong cavalry also formed a tacit understanding and gradually formed four front lines, trying to use their numerical superiority to kill the Zhou cavalry.
"Boom!" In just one encounter, more than ten riders fell off their horses on both sides. Wang Gui's side suffered even more casualties because there were no spears. The first wave of pressure that came into contact with Chenyue was blocked by the veterans in front. The second
Bo was not so relaxed. A spear was stabbed fiercely. Chenyue turned sideways and blocked with his knife. The tip of the spear almost slid past his chest. There was no danger.
Followed by the opponent's third wave of strikers, it was impossible to dodge this time. Chenyue spat fiercely: "Come on!" Another spear came towards him. Chenyue leaned down and found a well.
Di Laoyue slashed the leg of the Yan Rong cavalry with a knife. The Yan Rong barbarian screamed and fell off his horse. Chen Yue grabbed the spear and snatched it away. Then he put into a charging posture and stared fiercely.
The next Yan Rong cavalryman, whoever is more ruthless will live!
The horse passes! The man falls! Get out of the battle!
Once through the formation, Chen Yue was already out of breath. He looked at the bloody gash on his arm and was still frightened. He had just turned a little further and he was the one who died. He looked up and found that only about 20 riders were still alive on his side.
, my heart felt cold. Is this my first mission and I am going to die here? Absolutely not!
Wang Gui looked at the few remaining people with grief and anger in his heart. If he had completed his mission and rushed back at full speed, he would not have fallen into this situation. The people who are still alive are basically veterans. In such a disadvantageous confrontation, the new recruits will
It's almost impossible to survive.
He looked at Chen Yue who was bandaging his arm, gritted his teeth, took out the paid information from his arms, and came to Chen Yue: "I guess we won't be able to leave today. We will charge again later. You can follow me."
Later, save your strength, take this information back to Wuguan and give it to Zhou Ruhai, the commander of the left capital of the cavalry. You must give it to him personally, and no one else will give it to you. If you can't go back, it will be destroyed."
"Head, I don't!"
"Pa!" The centurion slapped Chen Yue on the face, "Do you know what this information means? If you can't take it back, Yan Rong may break through Wuguan. By then, tens of thousands of troops, several
Hundreds of thousands of people are in ruins!
Do you think I am doing it for you? I am seeing that you are smart and have good skills, so you have a high probability of surviving. Don’t let us brothers die in vain!"
"Nuo" Chen Yue's eyes turned red and he nodded fiercely.
At this time, a sudden change occurred. I remembered the sound of a horn in the distance, and saw the man in colorful clothes and the remaining Yan Rong cavalry approaching, "There are reinforcements!" The centurion and the others looked at each other and could not delay.
, we must break out immediately.
The second round of charge began. At this time, the two sides had exchanged positions, and the Yanrong cavalry had also reorganized their formation. There were not many people here, so they only formed a front line. Chenyue followed Baifu.
long side.
When the charge began, the originally straight front line of the Zhou cavalry slowly formed a cone shape again. Chen Yue lagged behind and stayed directly behind the team.
"Drink!" the centurion shouted, and the formation changed again. More than twenty riders formed two rows, forming a slightly thick formation, tightly blocking Chen Yue behind him.
The spear is hung at the end of the team.
He knew that after this round of charges, no one would be spared. At that time, he would only have to rely on himself, so he must conserve his strength now.
Between the swords and flints, the two sides missed each other. In the blink of an eye, the Zhou cavalry were killed one after another. At the last moment when the centurion fell from his horse, Chen Yue clamped the horse's belly and stabbed Yan Yan who was blocking the road in front of him to death with a spear.
The soldiers and cavalry then increased their speed and rushed out of the enemy formation in one breath. Then they rushed to the opposite hillside in one breath. Then they reined in their horses and looked back at the bloody battlefield.
The man in rich uniform had already arrived at the battlefield. He didn't care about the smell of blood on the battlefield. He rode his horse slowly to the front of the team. The general whispered something in his ear, and then pulled the last survivor to the front of the formation.
When Chen Yue saw it, he saw that it was the centurion who had been stabbed in the chest. Blood was flowing out and he was dying.
The man in the attire stepped on Wang Gui's chest, slowly raised the knife, and swung it down violently. Chen Yue's heart trembled, he stared at the man in the attire fiercely, stretched out his hand, swiped in the void, and then
The horse turned around and ran towards Wuguan. He charged twice and left several wounds on his body. The bleeding could not stop. If you don't leave, you will have to wait for death. "Boss, I will avenge you."
"Chen Yue thought silently in his heart.
The man in fine clothes raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Interesting."
"Do you want to pursue me?" the general asked, lowering his head.
"No, forget it. I can't catch up. Let's go back." The general said nothing and stepped aside.
A breeze blew by, blowing up the man's outer robe, revealing the belt underneath. An eagle with eight claws was vividly embroidered on the belt.
