291 [Whoever Hengdao Immediately]
The reason why Dong Da was able to command this defeated army, apart from his mysterious status in Daokou Village, the most important reason is that everyone saw his brave performance in the battle today. Without his decisive decision, I am afraid that
After Cao Hu's death, the garrison would collapse. Without his timely decision, no one would have been able to escape from the military city today.
Not to mention that when he finally escaped, he took the lead to fight for a way out for everyone, so no one would question his decision at this moment, including several sentries who followed him to escape.
However, when the defeated cavalry turned north, the Xiwu Qingqi that had been following behind them suddenly increased their speed.
Three miles, two miles, one mile, until within three hundred steps.
Xiwu Qingqi's precise horse control skills are shocking, especially when a thousand people move almost in unison. It is not easy to do this during a march. Dong Da looked at the opponent's movements and couldn't help but think of what happened many years ago.
In that scene, the wounds that I thought could be healed by time opened up again, and it was a severe pain tearing at my internal organs.
Many people still didn't know what Xiwu Qingqi wanted to do. When the opponent drew his bow and drew an arrow, and the heart-wrenching sound of the bowstring sounded in their ears, the expressions of the officers and men in Daliang changed.
"Speed up and move forward!"
Dong Da roared loudly. He had two choices at this moment. One was to continue to flee north, and the other was to turn around and fight Xiwu Qingqi. The reason why he chose the former without hesitation was because the morale of this defeated army was extremely low and their physical strength was very low.
They were also exhausted, far inferior to the Xiwu Qingqi who had been waiting for work outside the city.
Not to mention that the opponent had enough bows and arrows, but they rushed out of the city with only one weapon.
If you turn back, your entire army will be destroyed, but if you run forward, some people may survive.
However, making such a decision is not easy, even for Dong Da, who has long been accustomed to seeing death and blood, it is also a kind of torture.
Qi Huaijing urged the horse to gallop nervously, and the whistling of sharp arrows could be heard in his ears.
People kept falling down, and the horse lost control of its owner. After running wildly for a while, it stopped in place blankly.
The laughter of Xiwu Qingqi could be heard from behind. To them, this was a one-sided killing, no different from ordinary hunting.
They were already good at speed, not to mention that there were nearly a hundred cavalry among the defeated soldiers at Daokou Village, two wounded soldiers riding one horse, so they couldn't increase their speed at all. If this continued, the battle would be over in less than half an hour.
The veins on Dong Da's forehead had popped out, but he still pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.
After walking more than ten miles north, Xiwu Qingqi seemed to enjoy this hunting moment and was not in a hurry to kill them. Instead, while maintaining the current distance, they harvested the defeat of these defeated soldiers through rounds of arrow rain.
life.
At this moment, a Daliang sentry officer who was rushing to the front suddenly reached out and rubbed his eyes.
He thought he was dazzled, then took a closer look and suddenly shouted to the back: "Dong Da! Come quickly!"
Dong Da and Qi Huaijing accelerated to the front of the team, and their expressions also changed greatly, because not far ahead stood a group of cavalry quietly. Although there were not many in number, the dignified aura of Yuanding Yue Zhi made people understand that this was not an easy matter.
generation.
The panicked defeated soldiers thought that the small group of well-armored cavalry on the opposite side was an ambush from Western Wu, and they were filled with despair. However, Dong Da's eyes lit up and he shouted loudly: "We are the defenders of Daokou Village!"
Qi Huaijing followed up and shouted tacitly: "We are the defenders of Daokou Village!"
Others shouted: "We are the defenders of Daokou Village!"
Then they saw that the other side was divided into two, with a two-foot-wide passage in the middle.
The Qianqian Xiwu Qingqi chasing behind also noticed this change. The leading general frowned and raised his hand to signal the team to slow down.
Although the mysterious cavalry only had about four to five hundred men, the general could not rush forward with the defeated troops rashly, because he knew his own battle plan very well, and there was no ambush arranged in this area.
Qi Huaijing followed the large army through the passage smoothly, and at the same time looked at this mysterious cavalry with some curiosity.
Their armor and weapons were very good at first glance, better than those of the frontier troops at Daokou Village, and the energy and energy of these people were obviously extraordinary, and they were obviously elites with extremely powerful combat capabilities.
On the right, several generals at the front of the formation are surrounding a young man.
The young man was also sizing up the defeated soldiers. His eyes met with Qi Huaijing's. The latter was even a little dazed, because the young man's eyes were so sharp that he couldn't help but think of the young general who promoted him and then drove him away.
.
After the defeated troops passed, this mysterious cavalry merged into one. Facing the Xiwu light cavalry that was hesitating in the distance, as if they were deliberately suppressing their morale, their majestic mounts snorted restlessly.
A military general went around to the rear and said directly to Dong Da: "The people who gathered you are here to rest for the time being. After we have dealt with the Xiwu people, we will come back to question you."
Dong Da looked at the young military general in his twenties who was in front of him. He showed no offended anger and asked with confusion: "May I ask which army you are from?"
The young general said calmly: "You will know later."
After a long period of fighting and a panicked escape, the defeated army was already depleted of men and horses. After receiving Dong Da's order, they all rested on the spot. Dong Da did not rest. He urged his horse forward but did not cross the line drawn by the young general.
, looked solemnly at this extraordinarily domineering cavalry with only over 400 people.
Qi Huaijing came to him and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Dong, are these the defenders of Hucheng?"
Dong Da shook his head and said: "No."
Of course he knew what the garrison in Hucheng looked like. Even though it had been fourteen years, everything at that time was still vivid in his mind. At least the Hucheng cavalry did not have the elite equipment of the people in front of them.
After hesitating for a long time, the general of Xiwu Qingqi finally ordered: "Charge the formation!"
His mission is to follow the defeated soldiers of Daokou Village. It is best to expel them outside the military stronghold to the east and cooperate with the next plan formulated by the military capital. This is basically consistent with Dong Da's guess. As Dong Da leads people to
Bei, this plan obviously cannot be completed, so the next step is up to him. Judging from the number of people, the strength of both sides is similar at this moment, but he knows that the cavalry in Daokou Village has basically lost their combat capabilities, so as long as he eats this sudden appearance in front of him,
The small group of cavalry will undoubtedly have nearly a thousand heads in their account.
Faced with such tempting military exploits, he had no reason to give up directly, and his subordinates who were eager to achieve great results were unwilling to give up either.
The two sides met for more than five miles, which was very suitable for a cavalry charge.
Seeing that the Xiwu cavalry began to accelerate, Pei Yue rode his horse and stood in front of more than 400 cavalry. On his side were Wei Rui, Chen Xianda, Meng Longfu and Fu Hongzhi. Not only did their faces show no fear, but there was a hint of bloodthirsty cruelty on their faces.
