Chapter 343
"They are here, prepare to fight!" Lan Qiao drew his sword out of its sheath and shouted loudly.
Rapid drumbeats sounded in the village, and the soldiers immediately took action. Some positioned their horses to resist, some sealed the village gate with crossbars, some got into the trenches dug in advance, and some climbed up the arrow towers and stood on the arrow towers.
Those who couldn't get down climbed onto the roof, while the rest lined up and waited. The three hundred soldiers of the Langya Army took their positions in an orderly manner, waiting for the moment when Lan Zuwang broke through the village gate and the two armies came into contact.
Of course, before that, what Lanqiao has to do is to delay the enemy's attack on the gate and cause as much damage as possible during the enemy's attack time.
"Fire arrows!" Lan Qiao gave an order, and a total of sixteen archers on the two arrow towers shot arrows. The sixteen arrows fell like dense raindrops into Lan Zuwang's heavy cavalry team like a stream of iron.
Ying Xinjun's cavalry were all wearing fine armor, and only three of them were slightly injured in one round of arrows. The second round of arrows was fired again, but it still could not stop the enemy cavalry from approaching the village gate.
Feng Yeling drew the Yiying Bow into a full moon shape and shot an arrow into the night sky. The arrow drew a perfect arc under the moonlight, and then flew towards Lan Zuwang's eyebrows like a meteor.
Many soldiers of the Ying Xin Army screamed in alarm, but Lan Zuwang calmly brushed away the arrow with a swipe of his sword.
He was a skilled archer and he took off the long bow hanging on the horse's belly. He shot an arrow straight towards Feng Yeling on the arrow tower.
After all, this was Feng Yeling's first time on a real battlefield. How could she have imagined that in addition to her ability to shoot arrows at others, others could also shoot at her? Seeing Lan Zuwang's arrow approaching her face like lightning, she did not react for a moment.
To avoid it, just stand there blankly.
"Ling'erxin!" Lan Qiao pushed her at the last moment. The latter finally woke up and was about to dodge when she heard a "dang" sound. It turned out that Zheng's helmet was hit by an arrow.
Feng Yeling's head was buzzing, and her helmet was rolled to the ground by the force of the arrow. When the evening wind blew, her long hair immediately spread out.
"Turns out she's still a girl!" Lan Zuwang laughed loudly, pointing at Feng Yeling on the arrow tower and said, "It seems that the thieves have reached the end of their rope, why have all the girls been sent out!"
Feng Yeling was filled with shame and anger, she clenched her silver teeth and fired another arrow, still aiming at Lan Zuwang.
"He humiliates you like this, I will never tolerate him." Lan Qiao's blood surged up all over his body, and he followed Feng Yeling's arrow and flew out like a cannonball.
"Husband, I don't want it!" Feng Yeling didn't expect that Lan Qiao would dare to rush into the enemy's formation alone, and quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes, but it was too late.
But when he saw Lan Qiao crossing the night, he landed in front of Lan Zuwang's cavalry formation like a roc. He tiptoed, and immediately turned his falling force into a forward dash, rushing towards Lan Zuwang at a speed that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye.
Countless spears stretched out, trying to block the approaching Blue Bridge at high speed. However, several unexpected slight changes in the direction of the Blue Bridge caused all these spears to miss.
He rolled on the spot, like a bat flying close to the ground, and got through the belly of many horses. When he jumped out again, the light sword had already pierced Lan Zuwang's throat.
At the same time, Feng Yeling's arrow was falling from the night sky, and the two of them could work together seamlessly.
Lan Zuwang didn't take Feng Yeling's arrow to heart at all. He wanted to shoot it down with just a flick of his hand, but now he had to block Lan Qiao's light sword first.
He swung his long sword and clashed with Lan Qiao's flowing light sword with all his strength. The energy on Lan Qiao's sword shook his upper body. Facing Feng Yeling's flying arrows, he could only twist his shoulders with all his strength.
Fight with the armor on your shoulders.
With a "dang" sound, the feather arrow was inserted into Lan Zuwang's shoulder armor, but failed to penetrate. Lan Zuwang put all his strength on the sword he had just fought with Lan Qiao. At this time, he was struck by the momentum of the arrow.
In this area, I almost lost my balance and fell off my horse.
Countless swords, spears, swords and halberds greeted Lan Qiao who was deep in the enemy's territory. Lan Qiao's messenger looked at the clouds all over the east, deflected all the weapons from the surrounding enemies, and then repeated his old tricks to get through the enemy's cavalry.
Ma Wei quickly retreated to the direction of the village gate under the cover of darkness.
He knew that he did not have the ability to challenge thousands of troops. Seeing that the goal of extinguishing the opponent's arrogance had been achieved, he naturally no longer wanted to fight.
When the Langya Army soldiers in the village saw Lan Qiao charging into the enemy formation with one sword and one man, nearly knocking down the enemy general and then escaping, they all burst into loud cheers.
Only Feng Yeling nervously held on to the railing on the arrow tower, staring at Lan Qiao who was fighting out of the enemy's formation without blinking, her hands covered in cold sweat.
Seeing Lan Qiao return to the wall next to the village gate, Langya Army soldiers had already dropped the cable and pulled Lan Qiao up to the arrow tower.
Feng Yeling hugged him, then punched him in the chest and said, "You are just nonsense! How can you do such a dangerous thing? Do you want me to worry to death!"
A young soldier with an immature face shouted at the side: "The enemy general humiliates my eldest sister in this way. I am just venting my anger on my eldest sister!"
Feng Yeling's face turned red, and she stamped her feet and said, "I don't want you to vent your anger on me, I just want you to be good!"
Lan Qiao put his arm around Feng Yeling's waist, leaned into her ear and whispered softly: "You have to vent your anger, even if you don't care, these warriors also care. You are the backbone of the warriors, and if you are humiliated, what will happen to you?"
They have been humiliated and if they don't take it back, we all will be disgraced, so who has the heart to fight?"
Only then did Feng Yeling realize that he was taking the opportunity to boost the morale of the entire army and nodded lightly.
At this time, the sound of killing could be heard all over the place. It turned out that Lan Zuwang had started an attack. Two thousand new troops with heavy cavalry attacked the village gate of Zhuangjia Village.
Although the two arrow towers took turns shooting, they could only cause sporadic casualties on the other side, and had minimal impact on the overall situation.
With a loud noise, the village gate collapsed under the constant impact of enemy cavalry, and the well-equipped New Army cavalry poured into the village like a tide.
"Hit!" Lan Qiao gave the order. The Langya Army soldiers on the arrow tower, in the trench, on the roof and at the corner of the wall immediately fired thousands of arrows. The arrows were shot from all angles at the New Army soldiers who had just broken into the village gate.
The New Army cavalry had long been accustomed to being "tickled" by sixteen arrows at a time on the arrow tower. Now faced with such a terrifying and dense rain of arrows, they were immediately unable to parry. However, the sound of screams and horses neighing could not be heard. The dozen or so people who entered the door first
A soldier has fallen off his horse.
Lan Zuwang calmly shouted: "Don't panic, rush in!"
The road at the entrance of the village was not wide. Just as Lan Zuwang was about to urge his horse forward, Xu Yang led his team to block his way. He stroked his silver beard and said with a cold face: "Come on, step over my body!
"
"It will be as you wish." Lan Zuwang said solemnly, "Go! Trample this village into..." Before he could finish his words, the second round of arrow rain came, and he had to wave his sword to resist.
