Lin Yi led 800 cavalry and defeated an army of 100,000 people. Now, with more people fighting fewer people, can he still be defeated?
At the same time, at the central junction of the two armies, there was no need for Ling Hanxue to deliver orders, as a scouting war had already broken out between the two sides.
When the scout team of six people discovered each other, no one chose to retreat, but launched a charge in tacit understanding!
A hundred steps!
The scout from Hongshang Commandery stood up straight on his horse, controlled the horse with his legs, held a bow and arrow in his hand, calculated the speed of both sides, and then released the bow string.
These scouts are the elite of the royal capital's garrison, and their riding and shooting skills are quite strong.
Under normal circumstances, the arrows fired by six people can cause at least three casualties to the opponent, and the rest is a wave of harvest from behind.
However, this time their opponents were the scouts from Black Charm County!
Facing the six arrows flying through the air, the six scouts from Heimei Commandery remained calm and unhurried.
Their left arms were stretched forward and bent, and pieces of metal armor quickly unfolded on the arm guards, instantly forming a round shield to protect the front of their bodies, and at the same time, they also provided some defense for the black spirit horses sitting below them.
While their left hands unfolded their round shields, their right hands were not idle either. They all drew out a crossbow from the side of their horse, placed it on the edge of the round shield and aimed at the scouts from Hongshang Commandery who were charging towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides had reached a distance of sixty steps. The arrows of the scouts from the Hongshang Commandery barely missed, but failed to penetrate the round shields of the scouts from the Heimei Commandery.
The only arrow that avoided the buckler hit a scout in the shoulder, but was blocked by his shoulder armor!
Amidst a few crisp clanging sounds, the scouts from Black Charm County were not affected at all, and they just pressed the crossbow on their right hand.
Six crossbow arrows were shot out like lightning, and the two sides quickly approached each other. This distance was enough for the crossbow arrows to exert their maximum power. As long as they hit, it would basically be a bloody hole.
The scouts of Hongshang Commandery did not panic. Almost as soon as the opponent raised his crossbow, he had already made evasive actions, and his bows and arrows were replaced with chopping knives.
Senhan's blade stood in front of the Black Spirit Khan horse to prevent the crossbow arrows from attacking the Black Spirit Khan horse.
This is a long story, but it only takes the blink of an eye.
Six crossbow arrows flew over, three of which passed over the back of the low-down scout. Two of the crossbow arrows aimed at Hei Ling were cut off by the blade, and one was not intercepted and shot directly through Hei Ling. The chest of a sweaty horse.
Under the influence of the huge inertia, the Black Spirit Khan's horse neighed and slid to the ground. The scout on the horse could not escape in time and was pressed underneath by the rolling Black Spirit Khan's horse.
It was impossible for his comrades to rescue him at this time. In order to keep the charging formation stable, they could only bravely ride on the horse.
In the first wave of confrontation, Black Charm County had the upper hand!
After firing the hand crossbow once, there is no time to fire the second round.
The speed of the two sides was too fast, and they were already thirty steps away. The scouts of Heimei Commandery directly let go of their crossbows, letting them fall to the ground, and smoothly drew out their single swords.
The five remaining scouts from Hongshang Commandery all let out wild roars, straightened up from their horses, twisted their waists and abdomen, and slashed down with all their strength with their swords.
In terms of the level of sophistication of equipment, even the elite of the Royal Capital's garrison cannot compare to this army of Black Charm County.
But when it comes to personal bravery, there is nothing commendable about the army of Heimei County.
Five people versus six people, neither side flinched and collided with each other!
The two scouts headed by Hongshang Junguo were precise in their sword skills, and with the impact of the black spirit horses, they were cut down directly from the gaps in the opponent's armor.
The moment they passed by, two heads were taken away.
But something went wrong with the other three. One's sword was a little slower, and he was hit first by the opponent, falling off his horse and dying.
One of them sparred with the opponent, and when he passed by the wrong horse, he was stabbed by the opponent's extra man, and his left arm was cut off off guard.
Another one slashed the enemy's shoulder armor with one knife. Although the opponent's armor was broken by the power of the horse, the blade was stuck in the shoulder armor and could not be pulled out.
The scouts of Black Charm County are also ruthless characters, and their combat effectiveness may be slightly inferior, but at this time they fight bloody hard.
He directly grabbed the blade with his left hand, letting the blade rub violently against the wounds on his palm and shoulder armor. With a sinister smile on his lips, he slashed at the enemy with one strike.
In the midst of lightning and flint, the scout from Hongshang Commandery decisively abandoned his sword and was rushed out by Hei Linghan. However, he didn't want the man from Heimei Commandery to pursue him with a backhand and opened a large hole in his waist.
It has to be said that the equipment of Heimei Commandery is indeed at least one level better than that of Hongshang Commandery.
Their knives could easily break through Hongshang Junguo's armor, but Hongshang Junguo's scouts couldn't even cut off this man's shoulder with the help of their horse power.
Both sides rushed dozens of steps, then turned around and launched a new charge.
In the second wave of confrontation, two people from Heimei County were killed and one was injured, and one person from Hongshang County was killed and two were injured. It was basically a draw.
Although one more person from Heimei Commandery died, their injured still retained at least 70% of their combat effectiveness. As for the two injured scouts from Hongshang Commandery, it was hard to say whether they could retain even 50% of their combat effectiveness!
"kill!"
The scout leader of Hongshang Commandery didn't waste any time. He shouted lowly and continued to charge with his sword.
The two injured people didn't even bother with their wounds, and followed up with a roar and brandishing their knives.
This time, the two sides collided and everyone fell off their horses. The final result was that everyone fell off the horse.
It was just a battle between a few people, but it created a fierce momentum.
The two injured men from Hongshang Commandery knew that their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, so the scout with a hole in his waist and his internal organs leaking out simply ignored them and hugged the most powerful one on the other side tightly.
The one without his left arm took the opportunity to slash down and kill the most powerful enemy.
The two injured scouts from Hongshang Commandery did not survive long. They were killed by the people on the opposite side almost at the same time!
The remaining two scouts from Hongshang Commandery worked together to kill one, and then turned back to deal with the two remaining scouts from Heimei Commandery.
At this time, the advantage of equipment has been weakened to the extreme, and both sides are competing for their own combat effectiveness and skills.
Although the scout camp is not Lin Yi's personal guard camp and has not received much training from Lin Yi, it has learned the most basic battle formations.
When the two of them join forces, they don't need to exert too much. Any slight advantage is enough to turn into a victory!
Soon, the battle will be over!
All the scout teams from Heimei Commandery were wiped out, and four from Hongshang Commandery were killed.
Although it was a victory, it was only a miserable victory.
This encounter between scouts was just the beginning. More scouts began to fight in other directions. Both sides won and lost, but no one had an absolute advantage.
Ling Hanxue began to send more manpower, and more scouts were sent to the front line, but the situation did not improve.
