Chapter 340: The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road
The Yulin Guards cavalry are extremely elite and well-armored. When they charge with all their strength, they are like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. The Mingjiao cavalry are no match at all.
But soon the cavalry of the White Lotus Sect poured out from the mountain ridge where they were ambushed. Not only were they numerous, but they were also mixed with a large number of Mongolians and Semu people.
This is unthinkable in the south, but in the north, which has been ruled by foreigners for more than two hundred years, it is completely normal... After the founding of this dynasty, a large number of barbarians in the north who were unwilling to submit became the fresh blood of several major rebel families.
In fact, the main reason is that Boss Zhu's rule that "Hu people cannot intermarry" is too strong. There are a large number of old bachelors from Hu people who can't find wives. They are all jealous and their necks are thick, and they hate Zhu Yuanzhang until their teeth itch. So the White Lotus Sect and the Maitreya Sect
Once incited, villages and towns followed.
As the Hu cavalry continued to feel that Cai Qianhu's more than one hundred cavalry were gradually trapped in a tight siege, they did not panic. They only formed formations skillfully to protect themselves, but did not rush to break out of the encirclement.
Because they have rich battlefield experience, they know that in this case, a breakout can easily turn into a rout. At that time, one's own combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, and no matter how good the armor is, it will be difficult to avoid a large number of casualties.
The best choice at this time is to stick around and wait for help, trusting your colleagues!
~~
Soon, His Highness the King of Qin led a hundred cavalry and launched a charge.
The second brother led the most powerful soldiers, riding the strongest horses and holding maces in their hands. Because the weapons were too heavy, they were usually transported on carriages, so it was too late to launch the charge.
A little later.
But the power is unparalleled! As more than a hundred maces were swung, the barbarian cavalry screamed repeatedly, blood and flesh spattered, and they fell off their horses like dumplings. In the blink of an eye, a large hole was cut out of the encirclement.
His Highness the King of Jin and His Highness the King of Yan, who were all dressed up again, also led a hundred cavalry each. They took advantage of the situation and stayed close to the two men. The cooks rushed in like cattle, severely expanding the results of the battle!
The third child is cunning and cunning. He always picks up weak persimmons. The fourth child has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looks like an upright master, but he is also very cunning in fighting. He specializes in attacking weak points and joints. He is never willing to go head-to-head.
.
But the fourth child is different from the third child. The third child shouted "Brothers, come on" during the battle. He is supposed to be a prince, so there is nothing wrong with that.
But the fourth child is also regarded as a prince, but he always shouts "Brothers, follow me"...
This time was no exception. Zhu Di calmly observed the breach, then waved the Daguan Dao and took the lead in charging. When the soldiers saw His Highness King Yan rushing forward, they dared not hesitate for a moment, and they screamed like crazy.
He rushed into the enemy's formation. Along with the fourth child, he slashed wildly at the opening made by the second child, and actually penetrated the enemy's formation directly!
Then King Yan led his troops to turn their horses and fight back again, going back and forth and smashing the enemy's formation to pieces.
The Ming Cult, the White Lotus Cult, and the barbarian cavalry all came with the intention of setting an ambush and bullying the minority. However, they never expected that this mere four to five hundred cavalry troops would be so brave and thoughtless.
Prepared, they all retreated for a while.
Lao San saw the opportunity and immediately ordered his subordinates to intervene and join Cai Qianhu's troops who had formed a formation to defend.
With the help of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the pressure on Cai Bin's department was suddenly reduced, and both sides worked together to fight back and completely crush the encirclement...
~~
Under the leadership of the three His Highnesses and Cai Bin, the Yulin Army officers and men worked together and fought selflessly, finally repelling an enemy force several times their own size.
The soldiers were covered in blood and shocked, and they dismounted their horses to rest. The heavy breaths of the men and horses condensed into white frost in the blink of an eye. The encounter just now was too sudden, and it was very draining on both mental and physical strength.
At this time, His Highness the King of Wu quickly led several medical soldiers up to bandage and treat the injured soldiers.
"He, what the hell, where did this traitor come from?" King Qin bit into the stone-hard beef jerky and said angrily: "Why, why didn't the scout notice it?"
"This northwest wind is blowing snow foam." Cai Bin also hurriedly ate something to replenish his strength and said: "The sight is too severely obstructed. Of course, the scouts were careless. No one would have thought that there would be someone ambushing in this kind of horrible weather.
we."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhu said with a gloomy face: "They were just repelled, and they are very likely to come back. What should we do now? Retreat or continue to advance?"
"Where are we?" Zhu Di asked in a deep voice.
Cai Bin quickly took out the map and pointed it out to Zhu Di: "Ten miles ahead is Qishui, and twenty miles beyond Qishui is the county seat of Weihui Prefecture Qi County. Forty miles back, it is Tangyin County."
"Immediately send someone to Tangyin County to warn them and ask them to close the city gate quickly." Zhu Di said with a serious expression: "We have no way out."
"That's right." The third child stopped playing devil's advocate and looked ahead with a telescope: "The enemy has regrouped. If we retreat at this time, we will only increase others' ambition and destroy our own prestige."
"Having said that," Cai Bin said worriedly: "But no one knows whether all the enemy soldiers we just repelled. What if the rats pull the bellows and the big head is behind, and if we act recklessly, won't we get killed?"
"I have a way." His Highness King Jin said with a sly smile.
~~
A few miles away, the retreating armies of the three religions had regrouped.
Cai Bin's guess was correct. The fifteen or six hundred enemy troops just now were just the cavalry troops of the Three Religions Alliance. Behind them, there were eight or nine thousand horseless infantry who had not entered the battle.
According to the original plan of the Three Religions, the Ming Army was sent over and the infantry was used to block the attack. After repelling it, the cavalry came out to chase the enemy northward.
But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Who would have thought that there would be such an eternal spectacle as the two Royal Highnesses racing? As a result, in desperation, the coalition cavalry launched an attack first. Not only did they not get any benefits, they also lost two to three hundred troops and horses in vain...
"It's all your fault, your baby is so impatient!" Leader Bailian cursed Shi Chenglu, leader of Ming Cult. "It's okay now, all plans are ruined."
"The two princes ran in front of us almost naked without riding a horse or leading troops, or even holding weapons. How could I bear it?" Shi Chenglu said plausibly: "And they were the first to discover us. At that time
There’s no point in hiding anymore, you know?!”
"I have no idea!"
"Okay, okay." Leader Maitreya began to persuade: "This time the three religions join forces to assassinate Wang Shajia. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You two should not have internal strife. We'd better quickly regroup and fight them again!"
The two of them stopped arguing and gathered their men, rested, and prepared to attack again.
Half an hour later, there was still no movement from the Ming army. The three decided not to wait any longer and immediately led their troops to counterattack.
At this time, spies came to report and found that the Ming army was heading east!
