267 [Abandoned Son]
As soon as the two sides came into contact, it was like boiling water and pouring snow, and the front line of the horse bandits immediately collapsed.
This sudden encounter has nothing to do with military tactics and strategies. What is competing is their respective hard power and courage. The brave one wins when they meet in a narrow road.
The horse bandits had less than a year of battlefield experience. They barely learned a few simple formations under Chen Meng's training. In fact, they still relied on instinct to fight. If the breath in their chests relaxed, they would become headless flies. The previous three times
In fact, the most important reason for defeating the Lingzhou Guard Xiang Army was that Chen Meng made full use of the complex terrain in Qingyu Mountain. If it were a head-on encounter on the plains, the Xiang Army would not be easily defeated.
Perhaps these three victories gave the horse bandits enough confidence, or perhaps they were dazzled by the wealth and women in Linqing County. When they saw the three hundred horsemen charging silently outside the east gate, instead of running away immediately, they exploded
Come forward with all your courage.
"Whoosh!"
Pei Yue slashed diagonally with his sword and disemboweled the horse bandit opposite him. The blood exploded instantly and turned into a cloud of blood mist in the bright summer sunshine.
Behind him were Chen Xianda, the sentry of the second team, Meng Longfu, the sentry of the fourth team, and Fu Hongzhi, the sentry of the fifth team, plus Wei Rui, who led the first team into the city, and Shang Yu, who led the third team in ambush.
, these five people were the brave men who had been following Pei Yue to hunt down Chen Xizhi in the Hengduan Mountains in the third year of Kaiping.
At this time, when they saw Pei Yue Li killing the horse bandits, these three people did not give in too much. The moves were simple but efficient, and three more horse bandits were killed in an instant.
The two parties collided like a tide, which was the most vivid epitome of the killing.
Using the four of them as arrows, the three hundred knights were like a sharp blade thrust into tofu, invincible to anyone who stood in their way, and collapsed at the first touch.
The real battlefield is definitely not as romantic and heroic as imagined, only cruel and chaotic.
The charge of three hundred horsemen went from east to west, directly piercing through the entire bandit team, leaving dead and injured people all over the ground, but no one of them was injured.
Amidst the flying dust in the sky, Pei Yue suddenly tightened the reins, and the forelimbs of the divine horse were raised high, neighing happily. He held the knife in his right hand, raised his left hand, and clenched it into a fist. Three hundred horsemen lined up behind him quickly, with neat movements.
uniform.
They are indeed the elites brought out by Gu Liang himself. Their strength is second to none in the Beijing camp. At this moment, they are like the sword in Pei Yue's hand, as simple as using his arms and fingers.
Pei Yue did not immediately organize another charge, as if he wanted to give the opponent some time to wake up.
Looking at the other side of the battlefield, the horse bandits were directly stunned by the charge. Many of them didn't even realize until now that they had a cut in their lower abdomens and their intestines were leaking out, or that they had lost an arm. They immediately began to howl and howl.
Some people turn their horses' heads and just want to escape. Although they turn into bandits, they are basically just ordinary people. At most, they are good at equestrian skills because they raise horses.
This kind of ragtag team cannot withstand failure.
No one knew what Chen Meng was thinking. The mask obscured the expression on his face, and one could only judge from the exposed eyes that he was still calm at the moment, with a hint of excitement.
Someone wanted to run, but after only taking a few steps, a big man suddenly appeared next to him and chopped off his head with a knife.
Chen Meng withdrew his eyes with satisfaction and shouted loudly: "Brothers, Linqing County is right in front of you. Kill these three hundred people across the street. The women and money inside will all belong to you. I don't want any of them! But who wants to do it again?
If you dare to run away, don't blame me for being evil!"
The team finally stabilized temporarily, but a strange atmosphere gradually brewed.
Veteran generals who have been leading troops for many years know that this kind of atmosphere is called death air. It can turn a group of ordinary soldiers into fierce tigers and wolves who are not afraid of death. It can also easily make people collapse and completely lose the courage to fight. Chen Meng doesn't understand this, even if he understands him
He didn't care, because after meeting that man again, these horse bandits were just abandoned sons given to Pei Yue to kill.
He was in the middle of the horse bandits, with seven or eight strong men holding swords standing beside him. In addition, there were more than ten people holding down the formations around him. These people were his true confidants, and they were also the people who could persuade him to move.
One of his important reasons.
At this moment, the sun was filled with sand and dust. Chen Meng couldn't see Pei Yue's face, but he could see his figure through the longing figure. Hatred as thick as mountains and seas surged out of his heart. He raised his arms and shouted: "Kill me."
!”
The horse bandits are not so stupid that they cannot distinguish between the strength of the enemy and ourselves, but the swordsmen who followed Chen Meng are all masters of killing without blinking an eye, especially the two martial arts around him who are very advanced. For these horse bandits,
They were no different from heavenly beings. So in this situation, they had no choice but to move their mounts and rush towards the three hundred riders who were waiting quietly on the opposite side.
After the first round of charge, the horse bandits suffered more than a hundred casualties. For this team of more than 2,000 people, this number would not cause them to collapse, but it had reached a very dangerous edge.
Pei Yue stood in front of Three Hundred Cavalry, recalling the voice that came from the array opposite.
It sounded familiar, but I couldn't hear it clearly because of the distance, so I couldn't be sure.
Chen Meng thought his true identity was a secret, but Pei Yue had doubted his origins when he first came to Lingzhou, so he specially arranged for Feng Yi and Gai Ju to investigate. Although there has been no reply yet, this in itself is enough to explain
Some questions.
The answer is still unclear for now, but since they bumped into each other today, Pei Yue will certainly not let the other party slip away.
The horse bandits gathered into formation, howled and began to charge, and the entire team stretched into a long strip as they galloped.
The distance between the two sides is about three hundred steps.
Meng Longfu said next to Pei Yue: "Sir, there is something weird on the other side."
Pei Yue nodded slightly and said calmly: "It only takes two charges at most, and they will be defeated, and we will know the outcome by then."
On the east tower of Linqing County, a group of local dignitaries were stunned.
The five hundred people brought by Pei Yue were naturally elites in a hundred battles. Facing these horse bandits was like an adult bullying a child. They were not surprised by this result, but they were just a little bit emotional. No wonder this young powerful man dared to bring three hundred people with him.
He faced off against more than 2,000 horse bandits. It seemed that he had already expected this situation.
However, what makes these people even more incomprehensible is that these horse bandits are no match for the three hundred horsemen. They killed and injured hundreds of people in one charge. Why didn't they run away? Why did they continue to fight? Although they were a little far away on the tower, they
I couldn't see clearly the expressions of the horse bandits below, but I could also feel the strange atmosphere.
Yu Zheng carefully glanced at Wei Rui, who had a calm expression, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Sergeant Wei, since the Imperial Envoy has asked you to defend the city, can you allow me to take my subordinates out of the city to help the Imperial Envoy?"
The three hundred horsemen below were chopping up melons and vegetables to clean up the horse bandits. The fear in Yu Zheng's heart had long been gone. At this moment, his mind was full of excitement, and he also wanted to make some money.
Now that there is no war at the Daliang border, the heads of more than 2,000 horse bandits are no small feat.
Wei Rui's expression didn't change and he spat out two words coldly: "No."
Yu Zheng was a little angry, because he knew that the big shots in the county behind him were staring at him, and the young man in front of him was too arrogant to even give him this little face, so he stretched out his hand and put it on Wei Rui's shoulder, saying in an old-fashioned way
: "I know
Dao, you are from Nanying, and you are also a young talent favored by Marquis Guangping and Lord Pei, but you must also learn to be flexible. Brother, I also fought for my life against the Zhou people in the Southern Army, but not now.
Can we only defend a county seat? What do you want me to say——"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Rui, who looked like a Confucian scholar, grabbed his wrist with his backhand and kicked him in the abdomen.
His stern gaze fell on Yu Zheng's face, and he said indifferently: "Your Majesty will entrust the defense of this city to my hands, and everyone must obey my command. I think you are a first offender, and I will give you a light punishment today. If you dare to say more,
It must be dealt with by military law."
Yu Zheng was so hurt, angry and ashamed that he wished he could dig a hole in the ground and crawl in.
Wei Rui ignored him and turned to look at the battlefield outside the city.
