Chapter 361: Life and Death Speed(1/2)
When the lightly armored Western Army rangers were approaching their opponents for more than a hundred steps, accompanied by a sharp whistle, these rangers drew out their double swords from behind. The swords were close to their elbows, their bodies were slightly bent forward, their heads
Lifting up, his legs kept slapping the horse under his crotch, accelerating, accelerating again.
What was originally a large group of troops that seemed to be huddled together gradually formed several parallel lines during the charge, just like the waves of the sea, one wave followed by another.
As the formations of the two sides exchanged, Ikaruga just felt his hands sink slightly. He immediately tightened his grip and strengthened his elbows. Blood was flying in front of his eyes. The sharp blade scratched the opponent's leather armor and cut the opponent's body easily.
The Liao people had about a thousand cavalry, but these troops were neither the elite Pishi Army nor the Gongfen Army, but the Touxia Army, that is, the private troops from Touxiajunzhou who followed Yeluxi. They encountered Turtle Dove.
When he led such an elite Western army to roam, he was immediately dwarfed by it. Even though he had an advantage in numbers, the formation was still shattered under the impact of the opponent.
The first wave of rangers has been deeply embedded among the enemy. It has changed from the initial straight line shape to a herringbone shape. The turtle doves and wild boars charging at the front roared and charged forward, with swords rising and falling.
Puffs of blood flowers danced in front of them.
The second wave of more than a hundred cavalry rushed over, and the sparse cavalrymen who had just been groomed by the turtle dove and wild boar ran into them. When the two sides staggered, there were only a few cavalrymen who could rush out.
After Turtledove broke through the Liao army, he immediately accelerated his war horse again and ran towards the mules and horses in the distance. He ignored the Liao cavalry behind him at all. It didn't matter how many people were killed. What was important was to burn them.
Those grains.
The mules and horses convoy in the distance were in a panic. The leading officer was giving orders loudly, gathering the convoys together into a circle. Inside, there were already infantrymen with bows and arrows, aiming at the wildly approaching tourists.
Riding team.
Putting the two swords into the scabbards on his back, Ikaruga took a lump of something from the saddle on his horse, then took out a piece of flint from his waist, held the flint and touched the lump of something, and sparks flew everywhere.
Then, the black thing with the rope immediately burst into flames.
Turtledove waved his arms and turned the fireball in circles in his hands. The swing of his arms became wider and wider. With a cry, the fireball flew out and accurately landed on a carriage in the distance. It immediately triggered the fireball.
The sacks on the carriage were burned.
At the same time as Ikaruga swung the fireball, several feather arrows also landed on him. Ikaruga's strong body swayed, and then it passed by dozens of steps in front of the car formation as if nothing had happened.
When Ikaruga flew out fireballs, the hundreds of cavalrymen who rushed out with him almost all threw fireballs in the same way. Almost 90% of the hundreds of fireballs landed in the car formation, and the entire car formation suddenly burst into flames.
raging.
The cavalry flew around the car formation, and the divine arm bows that had been opened poured crossbow arrows into the car formation. Looking at the billowing smoke and listening to the wails, Turtle Dove confirmed that these hundreds of carts of food were basically destroyed.
Dropped.
Looking at the cavalry troops under his command who were chasing back in anger, and then at the food protection troops who desperately rushed out of the car formation, Turtle Dove laughed and took the reins of his horse and ran towards the distance.
He will never tangle with these people again!
Being entangled by these people, the time was delayed for a long time, and the Liao Kingdom's Pishi Army was also wandering around, which would be a lot of fun.
The Western Army was retreating in large strides.
But behind them, they left one team after another of Rangers.
These rangers include both elite and regular scout troops, like Turtle Dove's troops, as well as varying numbers of rangers left over from each tribe.
They harass, delay, and have flexible combat methods. They can fight in whatever way they want to make the enemy uncomfortable.
To expand their power, they didn't even set any tactical purpose for them.
Everything is decided by the officers of these armies.
Such a combat method was something Ye Luxi had not expected, and it also made him extremely uncomfortable. Judging from Xiao Ding's current strength, he was fully capable of confronting him head-on. If the opponent retreated without a fight, he could only follow him.
on, but as the front gradually lengthened, his logistics supply line also became longer and longer.
The rangers left behind by the Western Army were like flies, buzzing around behind him and even around him. If you ignored them, they would take advantage of the opportunity and come up to bite you. If you ignored them, they would come up and bite you.
He was killed, and he escaped without a trace.
Yelvxi could only send more people to maintain his food route while slowing down his progress.
The unexpected behavior of the Western Army made him need to be more careful. Somewhere, the bearded Xiao Ding was sharpening his knife, preparing to hit him head-on.
Regarding the famous Xiao Bearded, Yelu Xi had no intention of underestimating his enemy. What he wanted was to step on Xiao Ding and take a firm step toward his throne as the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, not to run around and be trampled by Xiao Ding.
of.
The turtledove stood in the stream, scooped a ladle of water with his helmet, poured it on the horse, and then used a brush to vigorously scrub the blood on the horse's body. However, the horse lowered his head to drink the water, raised his head, and pointed at
The turtle dove sprayed water, spraying all over the turtle dove's head and face.
After the last battle, the three hundred horsemen lost nearly fifty people. At this moment, more than two hundred horsemen and horses, half of them were washing in the stream, and the other part were scattered around on guard.
The wild boar came over, reached out and splashed a handful of water on his face, then shook his head vigorously, causing water droplets to fly all over the sky.
Ikaruga looked at the blood seeping from his legs and couldn't help but frowned: "Be smart when fighting and don't act recklessly. Our mission this time is to protect ourselves as much as possible while harassing the enemy, you know?"
The wild boar snorted and said coldly: "The knife I took on my leg would have sent me to the military capital prison instead. Haha, when I go back this time, I will at least be on an equal footing with you."
"Damn you!" Ikari scolded, walked over and sat next to the wild boar: "I and Daya are already married, what else do you want? Before Daya became my mother-in-law, how could you pursue me?
I can’t tell you, you are still making up your mind now, aren’t you brothers anymore?”
"I want to be a bigger official than you, so that Da Ya can see that she chose the wrong person in the first place!" the wild boar grunted.
"Bah!" Ikaruga spat: "You can just dream! When I got married, you were such a bitch that you didn't even drink. You even went to apply to inquire about military affairs. You are really not a brother. I even saved my life.
As for your fate, you didn’t even follow our family ties, wild boar, I will remember you forever.”
"I've prepared the money, and I'll give it to you when Da Ya gives birth to a baby!" The wild boar chuckled: "I prepared a hundred coins and stuffed them under the bed in the military camp."
Ikaruga was stunned for a moment, then suddenly got angry: "You are such a bitch, you have bad intentions. When I got married, you didn't follow the others. What do you mean by giving me so much money when I got a son?"
The wild boar just laughed, but the turtle dove got angry and pounced on it. The two of them fell into a tangled ball by the stream.
The rangers around the stream laughed loudly when they saw the two leaders making a fuss. Some of the guys who heard the conversation between the two laughed loudly and said: "Captain, is that doll of yours yours or not?"
Is it from the deputy superintendent?”
The wild boar was not as agile as the turtle dove, and was finally pushed to the ground by the turtle dove. The wild boar stopped struggling and just spread its legs, folded its hands under its head and looked at the sun in the sky.
"The weather is so nice today!"
The turtle dove rolled off his body and lay beside him on the ground, looking at the sun in the sky.
"Erya can get married in two years. How about I act as a matchmaker for you?"
"Go away, that yellow-haired girl, I think of you as my younger sister!" said the wild boar angrily. "Stop pretending to be fishy, just watch. I have made up my mind. From now on, I will either go to the Song Dynasty to grab a lady from the country, or go to the Liao Dynasty.
It would definitely be better than Da Ya to snatch a young lady back from the country!"
"You can't compare to Da Ya when you snatch a princess back!" Ikaruga said disdainfully.
The two narrowed their eyes, stopped talking, and enjoyed the touch of the sun to their heart's content.
I don't know how much time had passed before a sharp whistle suddenly sounded in my ears, and almost at the same time, the two of them jumped up from the ground at the same time.
The sound of horse hooves.
A cavalry group of at least 300 riders.
In the distance, sentry riders rushed towards them, and then the two of them saw the Liao army pursuing them behind them.
Leather Army!
The blood drained from both of their faces instantly.
Obviously, this Pishi army found their position, and then approached quietly until they were close enough, then they galloped towards them.
"Retreat, retreat!" More than two hundred riders got on their horses and immediately ran away into the distance.
Even when they were at their peak, they could not compete with the Pishi Army that was twice their size, but they still knew this.
When the number of people is equal, the only one who can confront the Pishi army head-on is the iron kite next to the general manager.
He chased and fled, covering dozens of miles in an instant. Not only did he not escape his opponent, he was being chased closer and closer.
Seeing the opponent's cavalry split into two and circling to both sides, obviously trying to make dumplings out of their own side. The wild boar took a deep breath, reined in the horse, turned around and faced the enemy.
"I'll stop it!" he yelled, "Ikaruga, I really prepared a hundred dollars under the bed. You can give it to Daya when you get back. I will be your godfather."
As soon as the wild boar turned around, more than a hundred cavalrymen behind him immediately followed and faced the pursuing Pishi army.
Ikaruga's tears suddenly fell down. He glanced back at the wild boar that was facing his opponent without hesitation, then turned around and shouted: "Accelerate, accelerate, get away."
The clash of weapons behind him and the roars of both sides gradually faded away.
The night gradually fell, and then slowly lifted up, the moon rose and set, and on the eastern horizon, the morning sun had already revealed half of its face. On the grass, more than a hundred cavalry gathered together, and everyone's face was heavy.
Ji. They escaped the pursuit of the Pishi Army, but none of the other half of the brothers who protected them have returned to the gathering point agreed upon earlier.
Ikaruga stood up and said: "Let's go and prepare for the next battle. Can't we defeat the Pishi Army, the First Army, and the Food Guard Army?"
"Let's go and find the teachings of their food guard army."
"Go and burn their food."
"Starve those stupid Pishi troops to death!"
Amidst the shouts, the originally gloomy atmosphere became more lively. Everyone got on their horses and prepared to find the next enemy.
"Captain, look!" Suddenly, a cavalryman shouted, raised his arm and pointed to the east.
Everyone turned around and looked at where the sun was rising.
To be continued...
