All the members of the Habayashi Army are sons of good Mikawa families, and many are descendants of wealthy officials from the Shenluo family. They all come from good backgrounds, and there are not many idiots.
At this time, many people have already felt that something strange happened tonight.
Although I didn't know who was right and who was wrong, I vaguely felt that I was caught in a huge change.
Naturally, I hesitated!
However, at this moment, an arrow shot out, as if flying from the sky, and shot through the throat of Li Feng, Marquis of Ying Liang, and nailed him to the carriage.
"Kill, Xun Danghou has conspired to rebel, and he has been ordered by the emperor to punish the thieves. Anyone who hesitates to advance will be killed!"
Luo An was covered in armor and was accompanied by dozens of recruited Confucian scholars, swordsmen, etc.
One of them had just put down his big bow. It was obvious that the arrow that killed Li Feng, the Marquis of Liang, was shot by him!
As soon as Li Feng died, Liang Mao was left alone and no one came out to take charge, and the morale of the army was shaken.
…
"An enemy is chasing us... They are cavalry. I didn't expect them to come so fast!"
Tao Xiaowu murmured to himself and stopped.
Qiu Shan immediately grasped the long bow.
The guards of the Hou Mansion looked uneasy and could only hold onto their weapons.
A whole group of cavalry braved the dark night and drizzle to chase Tao Xiaowu and his party.
If it were an ordinary world, no cavalry would dare to run on such a rainy night, and no one would know how many people would be killed.
However, this world is different!
Even though they were two or three miles away, even the sound of horse hooves was so weak that it was almost inaudible.
However, after becoming a Ghost Immortal and having strong mental power, Tao Xiaowu was able to clearly see the appearance of the cavalry chasing after him in the dark night...
"It's heavy cavalry!"
Although these cavalry are very different from the canned cavalry in the original world, where both men and horses are covered in iron armor, these cavalry are obviously also equipped with men and horses, and can be regarded as quasi-heavy cavalry.
"The equipment is so good, maybe it's the Yulin Army..."
Thinking of this, Tao Xiaowu's heart sank.
The ghosts and immortals are not invincible. If they were ordinary local county soldiers, they could still fight with hundreds of people.
However, this is cavalry, and it is also a heavy cavalry equipped with man and horse.
Even if he is a ghost immortal, coupled with Qiu Shan and a dozen guards from the Hou Mansion, he will only end up dead.
"Into the forest!"
Tao Xiaowu immediately made a decision.
Although he didn't know much about military affairs, he knew very well that the most terrifying thing about cavalry was its speed and impact.
If they were still standing here and were charged by those cavalry, they might not be able to stop the impact and they would all be destroyed.
Fortunately, there are woods beside the road...
This is already the core of Dayu, with dense population and open land. It is not a mountainous area and it is difficult to see large-scale forests.
But there are still many small-scale woods...
In this era, even if it is densely populated, it cannot be compared with the original world.
There are more than 10 million households in Dayu, and the population is only more than 60 million!
Therefore, even in the core areas of the empire, there are still wild areas and woods.
The size of this forest is not very large, only about ten acres.
But enough is enough!
When Tao Xiaowu and others had almost hid in the woods, the cavalry had already rushed over, stopped slowly, and hesitated to advance.
The saying goes, "Don't enter the forest." This is also true for the army. Especially for the cavalry, rushing into the forest is simply suicide.
In the woods, the speed advantage of the war horse is not only not utilized, but also easily restricted.
In that complex environment, the cavalry who lost their speed simply became a target!
"Dismount and enter the forest!"
Despite this, the army commander only hesitated for a moment before giving the order.
The status of cavalry units is much higher than that of infantry, so their military ranks are also higher.
Among the infantry, those who lead a hundred people are no more than commanders and generals of a hundred people.
But among the cavalry, they are often the military princes!
And the one who leads the Yulin heavy cavalry is Sima!
This is already a mid- to senior-level officer than Qianshi.
The magistrate of a small county is nothing more than this level.
According to the Dayu system, a county with more than 10,000 people is called a large county, and the county magistrate is in charge of it, Qianshi.
For small counties with less than 10,000 people, the county chief is in charge.
And at this time, being able to send a military commander and a hundred Yulin heavy cavalry to chase Tao Xiaowu is enough to look up to Tao Xiaowu!
As soon as the military commander gave the order, an arrow shot out, piercing his face. His whole body was covered in blood and he fell to the ground.
"Sima..."
Zhu Yulin was shocked. This place was at least a hundred steps away from the woods.
Also in the dark night, someone was actually able to kill an army commander with one arrow. This kind of archery skill was simply miraculous.
However, what is even more terrible is that the military law of Dayu is very strict. Officers will die in battle, and if the soldiers under their command cannot complete their tasks, they will all be punished with death.
If they can't kill Tao Xiaowu at this time, they will all be in trouble when they go back!
"kill!"
At this moment, no one could care so much anymore, and they were heading towards the woods to kill.
They are the Yulin Army. Even if they are dismounted, they are still elites wearing iron armor and possessing high martial arts skills.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Several arrows were fired again, and each arrow killed a Yulin soldier.
Even though these Yulin soldiers are all wearing iron armor, every arrow can hit the soldiers' faces or chests.
This kind of archery technique is simply amazing!
Normally, one might be shocked by such arrow skills, but at this time, these Yu Lins rushed towards the woods regardless of casualties.
"Kill!"
The guards of the Hou Mansion could only fight with all their might.
They followed them all the way to Luo, and it seemed that they did not have much effect. However, in fact, they were all highly skilled martial artists selected from thousands by the Yangfu Marquis Mansion.
Even though he didn't have any armor, he was still in the woods, and with the help of trees for cover, he was still able to deal with the Yulin Army.
But if this is the only way, Tao Xiaowu's side will only end in defeat.
After all, Qiu Shan shot several arrows in a row, and his arms were already sore and numb.
Although the power of those divine shots is huge, it also consumes a lot of energy. At this time, I can only pant and try to recover as much as possible.
"ah!"
In the blink of an eye, there were screams. A guard of the Hou Mansion was hit by a sword. He screamed and was stabbed by several other weapons. Blood flowed from his mouth and nose, and he was obviously dead.
This was just the beginning. Soon, screams broke out and the guards of the Marquis Mansion were surrounded and killed one by one.
Although their martial arts were good, they were not at the level of transcendent saints. They had no armor to protect themselves, and their numbers were small, so they were injured one after another.
Although a few Yulin soldiers died in the battle, there were too many of them!
At this time, even Qiu Shan was hit by a sword and injured his arm, and Qin Feng and his wife were about to be killed before their eyes.
Suddenly, there was a flow of mist, which seemed to cover the entire battlefield. The cold and alienating mist separated everyone, as if they were separated from the entire world.
