This rural warrior team, which numbered less than a hundred people, was led by a green-robed official at the head, and launched a desperate charge towards the hundreds of cavalry in front without fear of life or death!
This scene is just like in later history, the last cavalry unit of the Qing Dynasty launched a brazen charge against the Eight-Nation Allied Forces armed with muskets and cannons under the ruined city!
The same bravery and unafraid of death, the same tragic and incomparable, and the same people overturned...
Facing this cavalry, Wang Mengcai did not continue the glory he had when facing the Goguryeo people yesterday!
On the contrary, the opponent, after seeing this red-eyed miscellaneous army charging, simply sent out ten cavalry to challenge.
Moreover, these ten cavalrymen did not even use their horses. They only drove their horses to charge briefly among the crowd, and immediately smashed the team into pieces and completely defeated them.
There is no way, the gap in strength between them is really too big!
The knives and spears in the hands of Wang Mengcai and others would be bounced away immediately if they were stabbed into the armor of these cavalrymen. In the end, they could not even leave a mark, let alone cut off their horses!
This means that the cavalry were ordered not to hurt anyone!
Otherwise, these ten cavalry alone would be enough to completely slaughter Wang Mengcai's hundred men, and they would all have to return to the team.
The combat power of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty was not at the same level as that of the mere rural warriors in front of them.
Similarly, they are not in the same realm as those Goguryeo soldiers who are like beggars.
"I will fight with you thieves!"
When a cavalryman lightly swung the sword away from his hand, the red-eyed Wang Mengcai was startled for a moment, then roared angrily and was about to pounce!
However, as soon as he moved, a long horse-stem sprang up
It was placed on his shoulders, and a strong force from the horse pushed his body back to the ground!
"That's enough! Stop it, everyone!"
At this critical moment, Xiao Han's roar finally sounded from the crowd!
Hearing this voice, the chaotic scene suddenly came to a halt!
The redness in the eyes of Wang Mengcai and others quickly dissipated and faded like an ebbing tide!
Immediately afterwards, in their sight that gradually returned to clarity, Xiao Han's familiar figure was slowly walking out of the cavalry team.
"Hou...Master Hou? You, are you still alive?"
Wang Meng was the first to discover that Xiao Han was still alive, and it seemed that he was still alive and well. Even the few followers were following the Marquis well...
Seeing this scene, Wang Mengcai was completely shocked!
It was only then that he suddenly remembered something and began to raise his head sharply, seriously looking at the group of cavalry in front of him.
These cavalrymen did not carry flags, and there was no way to distinguish their identities from the flags.
However, they all wore uniform black armor with a simple and simple style. Behind the black armor, there was a long bow hanging on the side of the horse, and a spur hung on the side of the horse! Even the war horse under him was also
Wearing the same layer of black armor.
Wang Mengcai had never been a soldier and had no idea how much copper coins such a set of equipment would cost, but he could clearly feel that the Goguryeo soldiers he saw yesterday were like a group of beggars compared with the people in front of him! No, not even beggars.
Worse than anything!
"They are not Goguryeo soldiers, but the Xuanjia army!"
For some reason, Wang Meng
He had obviously never seen the so-called Xuanjia Army, but at this moment, the name still popped up in his mind!
Yes!
How could the might of the cavalry in front of me be something that group of stick men could possess?
Not only would those group of stickmen not have such a cavalry, but within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, there should be only a handful of such a mighty division!
Coupled with the black armor of both men and horses, it seems that only the legendary Xuanjia Army can do this!
"Hahaha, Lao Liu, how are you? This County Magistrate Wang is quite good, isn't he?"
Hearing Wang Mengcai shout out the identities of the knights around him, Xiao Han's tense face relaxed, and he laughed and patted a strong man next to him.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that Liu Hongji was still wearing iron armor, and it hurt when he slapped it with his hand!
"Not bad! He's a man!"
At this moment, Liu Hongji also had a smile on his lips, and looked at Wang Mengcai with a little more appreciation.
Old Liu used to look down on civil servants!
Because he always felt that these so-called literati were like sparrows, chattering all day long, just like women, boring!
But this time he came to Shandong with Xiao Han. First, he saw Jing Yuan, who was willing to die to report the news, then Ruan Nanzhu, who was unwilling to live alone, and now, he also met Wang Mengcai, who was not afraid of death.
This also made his previous prejudice against these literati finally completely change!
It turns out that among literati, there are also people with bones as hard as steel!
"Master Hou, who is this?"
After being praised by Liu Hongji in person, Wang Mengcai suddenly felt a flush of heat on his face!
By this time,
He also reacted:
The person in front of me must be a general of the imperial court! And judging from the fact that Mr. Xiao is familiar with this person, his status must not be too low! I just made another big mistake!
"This is Liu Hongji, one of our own, not from Goguryeo!"
Hearing Wang Mengcai's question, Xiao Han chuckled and introduced Liu Hongji first, then looked at Xiang Yong who was in a mess on the ground in confusion, frowned and said: "By the way, I didn't ask Wen San to inform you of this.
What happened? How come you don’t know about it? Didn’t you see him? "
"What? Wen San?" Wang Mengcai was stunned when he heard this, then subconsciously turned back and looked towards the road where he came from!
There, the man who had just been slapped dizzy by him had already touched him at some point, and was now hiding timidly at the entrance of an alley, looking over here.
Needless to say, this person must be the Wen San that Xiao Han mentioned!
It's just that the Marquis asked this guy to carry a message. Isn't it too sloppy?
This bastard never said from the beginning to the end that this so-called siege was just a misunderstanding! Instead, he kept scaring them, saying that the city gate was broken and there was no need to defend the city.
It was precisely after listening to his words that he and others became desperate and started fighting with the people led by General Liu...
Well, it's a bit inaccurate to say that they were beaten. To be more precise, it should be people like me who were passively beaten!
Duan Di, the subordinate of General Liu, is a bit too brave...
If the Goguryeo people of yesterday had one percent of their bravery, they would probably have their heads chopped off and put on display, and they should be their own!
Wait, no, what is the name of this general? Liu Hongji??? Duke Kui, Liu Hongji!!!
