Chapter nine hundred and sixty third scouts confrontation
The arrows whizzed away, and although there were only a dozen of them, they accurately penetrated into the chests of Nanchen's cavalry who were rushing in front. Of course, this was mainly because Nanchen's cavalry was crossing the river, so its speed naturally slowed down.
"Fill and release!" Liao Wan ordered again.
Arrows roared out, and another four or five Nanchen cavalrymen fell off their horses, screaming and being swept away by the stream. Their companions were nervously avoiding the arrows at this time and could not take care of them.
This is the time to strike halfway through!
Liao Wan rode his horse down the hillside, raised his sword and chopped off the horse of a Nanchen soldier who had just landed. Then the rest of the Shu Han cavalry followed Liao Wan, and the Nanchen scout just reacted at this time and hurriedly
They fired arrows, but these arrows were basically out of focus, and were easily dodged by Liao Wan and the other Shu Han cavalry.
"Don't let them go!" Another group of Nanchen cavalry who crossed the river from upstream quickly came over from the flank at this time.
"Let's go!" Liao Wan gave the decisive order, his horse neighed, and he led the team to rush up another hillside on the southeast side along the stream, until they reached the top of the hillside, where they stood condescendingly, and then stopped.
At this time, the men and horses were panting heavily due to the charge just now, but everyone glanced at each other and saw that there were only two brothers around them who were lucky, but the group of Nanchen scouts crossing the river here had suffered more than half of their casualties.
The faces of the young soldiers showed joy, but Liao Wan looked intently at the enemy who had already crossed the river. We were outnumbered, so this stream was the best place to block the attack, but obviously the enemy general was not a fool either.
Splitting his forces to cross the river would make it impossible for Liao Wan to expand his victory. Otherwise, Liao Wan believed that his attack alone would be enough to crush an enemy several times his own size.
In other words, such losses should be expected by the enemy, and their morale is still there.
Sure enough, the assembled Nanchen cavalry once again divided into two groups and outflanked them. Apparently they planned to take advantage of their strength and eat up the Shu Han cavalry team in front of them.
"Let's go!" Liao Wan ordered decisively. This hillside was not dangerous. With his own manpower, he couldn't stop the opponent's charge. He couldn't be entangled at all.
Nan Chen's cavalry came very quickly, but when they rushed up the hillside, Liao Wan had already led his men to run for some distance in the wilderness below the hillside. The leader of Nan Chen's cavalry gritted his teeth and decisively pursued him with his men.
.Although the enemy's stop-and-go behavior made him feel that things were not that simple, but according to the information collected by previous scouts, the enemy did not have many cavalry in the nearest Longzhong City, and most of them were infantry.
It is estimated that the group of cavalry in front of them is also waiting for reinforcements from Longzhong, but if the enemy really sends infantry by then, then Nanchen's team as cavalry can easily retreat. On the contrary, the group in front of them is
This cavalry team should be the only cavalry scout team in Longzhong. If it can be captured, the possibility of Zhangchuan County being harassed in a short period of time will be very small, and everyone's burden will be reduced.
"Captain, they are catching up."
"I'm afraid they won't take the bait." Liao Wan sneered. He had never been afraid of being outnumbered and outnumbered. He followed Li Xingchen and Pei Zilie step by step until today. When did our victory rely on military superiority!
The Nanchen cavalry arrived very quickly, but Liao Wan and his men had already crossed the wilderness and ran along a small forest. For a while, the smoke was billowing, and it was impossible to see where they were going.
"Continue to outflank!" Commander Nan Chen who led the team decisively ordered. The woodland is definitely not a suitable place for cavalry to gallop. It would be best if the opponent's general rushes into the woodland in a hurry. Otherwise, they will have no choice but to
Choose to advance along the edge of the woodland, so that you will still collide with the Nanchen cavalry anyway.
"Win the string!" Liao Wan shouted. A group of Nanchen cavalry had already surrounded them. It looked like there were more than 20 people, but Liao Wan believed that he could rush over now. "Let go!"
At the same time, the Nanchen cavalry also drew their bows and arrows. Just now, the Shu Han cavalry seized the opportunity to cross the river and suffered a loss. Naturally, they could not let them draw their bows and arrows this time.
The arrows whizzed towards his face. Liao Wan had quick eyes and quick hands, and used the knife in his hand to deflect the two oncoming ones. However, the soldiers around him were not so lucky. The two cavalrymen screamed and fell from their horses after being hit by the arrows. If not for the formation being scattered.
, I’m afraid it will also implicate the people behind.
The arrows fired by the Shu Han cavalry also caused three or four Nanchen cavalry to fall off their horses. In comparison, the powerful crossbows made by the Hanzhong workshop undoubtedly had the upper hand at this time.
Liao Wan had no time to take care of the soldier who fell from the horse. Another enemy team was chasing behind him. As long as the horse fell, he would be dead. Even Liao Wan had no time to wind up the horse again. The two cavalry teams from both sides collided with each other.
together.
Cross, chop, lightning!
Both sides left behind two or three corpses and separated on the wrong horse.
Liao Wan did not dare to hesitate and twitched his horse wildly. The horse neighed and continued to run forward. There were only ten people left around him at this time, and these soldiers who had experienced fighting on the battlefield had long lost the excitement just now and looked behind them.
The pursuers, whose number was two or three times his own, looked tenacious and also chased Liao Wan.
"Catch up!" Commander Nan Chen didn't expect that these guys had no desire to fight at all. He was even more frustrated when he couldn't catch up or stop him several times. Everyone in this military camp was from Ren Zhongjun.
A veteran, he always refuses to obey anyone. If the leader returns empty-handed, he doesn't know how he will be laughed at by the others.
Liao Wan looked at the Nanchen cavalry who were catching up again, and took a deep breath. He knew that continuing to run like this would also be a heavy burden on the war horses. Now it was not so much a competition of human wisdom, but a competition between people.
Compete for horsepower.
However, Liao Wan and the others had already consumed part of their horsepower in their cross-border reconnaissance, so they did not have an advantage in this regard.
"Go up the hillside!" Liao Wan gritted his teeth and pointed his riding whip at a small mound not far away. The cavalry followed him closely and rushed up the hillside again.
The war horses were panting heavily, and some were even foaming at the mouth.
Liao Wan looked at the Nanchen cavalry gathered at the foot of the hillside with a solemn expression. After all, the number of people on the opposite side was much greater than his own. If they attacked by force, they would probably die without a burial place.
Eyes fell on Liao Wan one after another. The eyes of these young boys were full of trust. One of them couldn't help but said first: "Colonel Lieutenant, we have killed several people. The worst is to rush down and try again."
If you fight with them, one of them will be enough, and two of them will make a profit. Anyway, the news has been sent out!"
"that is!"
"We can still be afraid of him!" (To be continued)
