Chapter 22 Official Dao's First Victory over Captive Cavalry
Suddenly, the strong man from the Qing Army tilted his body and fell from his horse to the left. The horse was already running to the right. Because the strong man from the Qing Army was still holding the horse's reins with his left hand, the horse was also hit by the strong body of the Qing Army.
The remaining force caused him to suddenly turn to the left. After swaying back and forth like this, the strong body could no longer sit still on the saddle.
With a sound of "bang...", he immediately fell off his horse.
At the same time, the Qing soldier in vest who was shot straight from the mouth to the back of the head by an arrow from Zhang Cheng also fell from his horse at this time, his body tilted to the right, and suddenly hit a strong willow tree beside the official road, "
With a "bang" sound, the head of the Qing army's vest was smashed to pieces with great force, but the body was dragged to the ground by the horse because one foot was still hanging in the stirrup.
The only three remaining Qing army cavalry did not know until this moment that the leader Zhuang Da was dead. Opposite them were more than 200 Ming army cavalry who were not afraid of death, and the two wings were surrounded by the Ming army's elite cavalry.
Not only were they at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, but they were also surrounded. Although the Tartar Sentinel Cavalry had experienced hundreds of battles and had no power to recover at this time, they would not be captured simply because of their ferocious nature.
The Qing army vest on the right immediately turned its horse head, intending to pass through the gap between Zhang Cheng and others and the Ming army cavalry who were intercepting in the north. At the same time, the two Qing army vests on the left were not interested in fighting and fought with each other.
With the same thoughts in mind, he also turned his horse's head and ran towards the south.
…
Zhang Cheng saw that the remaining three Qing army vests had the intention of escaping, so he ran towards the two Qing army vests in the south from the beginning. Chen Zhong followed Zhang Cheng closely. For him, killing
Nu's meritorious service is secondary, but protecting Zhang Cheng's safety is his top priority.
After all, the Qing army's vested sentry cavalry was not prepared in advance, so it was a temporary turn. The war horse slowed down slightly before it could turn around, and was about to rush out of the official road diagonally toward the southwest.
Zhang Cheng had already chased them behind their horses. One of the captives raised a flying ax in his hand and threw it back at Zhang Cheng.
Zhang Cheng saw the flying ax whirling towards him, and instantly lowered his body and clung to the horse's back. Chen Zhong beside him also dodged to the right, just dodging the flying axe.
A miserable howl was heard behind him, and an outpost cavalry who had just rushed up was cut in the neck by the flying axe.
There was a rope around the flying ax. It seemed that the rope was pulled at the moment of projection. The flying ax even spun in and cut into the cavalryman's neck, causing him a huge wound.
After the force on the side rope was exerted, he pulled again with inertia, and the flying ax flew away from him, and a stream of blood spurted out from the cavalryman's neck.
"Wow..." Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted again, splitting open another Qing army vest that flew towards his face, and pushed the horse forward with both legs to chase him.
Although the flying ax and the iron bone flower slowed down Zhang Cheng, Chen Zhong had already caught up with the two Qing army vests at this time. He picked up the mace in his hand and smashed it at the knight on the left.
With a "bang" sound, the machete in the Nalu rider's body moved sideways and backwards, and took advantage of the force to rush towards Chen Zhong's head from the front. Chen Zhonglai didn't react hastily, and lay back on the horse, just in time to avoid it.
This knife.
Zhang Cheng happened to catch up at this time, and stabbed towards the right with his brow-pointed knife. The soldier ducked to the right, barely dodging, but Zhang Cheng missed the blow, and pressed down hard on the handle of the brow-pointed knife with his left hand.
, the right hand pulled back hard, and the tip of the knife was sharply raised diagonally.
At this time, Naluqi missed Chen Zhong with a strike. He had just withdrawn the machete in his hand, turned around and slashed the machete horizontally towards Zhang Cheng's neck. Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng suddenly raised the knife from the tip of his eyebrow and went straight to Naluqi's throat.
, but it was blocked by the integrated item on Nalu's cavalry.
Even so, the sword also suffocated the warrior's breath, and his body involuntarily leaned back, and Zhang Cheng dodged the sword that was aimed at Zhang Cheng.
"Pfft..." A bloody arrow shot Zhang Cheng in the face.
Although the soldier's neck was protected by a sword, which blocked Zhang Cheng's brow-pointed knife, he was hit hard on the back by Chen Zhong's mace, and a mouthful of blood spurted out from his mouth, causing him to fall.
Fall off the horse.
Although this knight is wearing two layers of armor, which is to protect him from long-range shots from bows and crossbows or from being slashed and stabbed by swords, if he is hit hard by the mace, half of his life will be destroyed, even if Zhang Cheng's eyebrows are not dead.
If a sharp knife were to hit him hard at close range, it would kill half of his life.
With a "bang" sound, the knight on the left front had escaped and ran more than thirty steps. At this time, in order to save his companion who was flanked by Zhang Cheng and Chen Zhong, he turned around and shot an arrow, hitting Zhang Cheng's chest.
Breastplate.
Fortunately, Zhang Cheng happened to be turning sideways at this time, so the arrow did not hit him directly from the front. Otherwise, even if he was protected by a protective mirror, he would still have been penetrated by the armor-piercing arrow.
At this moment, the arrow only hit the breast mirror diagonally, so it did not enter the body, but made a deep arrow mark on the breast mirror.
Even so, Zhang Cheng's blood surged in his chest, and he almost vomited blood and fainted. This was also thanks to the fact that the soldier did not use all his strength to shoot the arrow in his panic.
"Whoosh..." Chen Zheng, the outpost commander who caught up from behind, took advantage of the opportunity for the knight to turn around and shoot Zhang Cheng's arrow, and shot an arrow across Zhang Cheng's side, hitting the knight's right cheek in the middle.
With a scream, he fell off the horse.
At this time, Chen Zhong drove his horse to Zhang Cheng's side and reached out to support Zhang Cheng. He saw that his face was full of blood donation, even his chest was bright red, his eyes were wide open, and his mouth was wide open, but he did not pant or shout.
Chen Zhong was startled and very nervous. He asked hurriedly: "Master, where is the injury? Master..."
Zhang Cheng still had his mouth wide open, holding the horse's reins tightly with his left hand, and holding the handle of the Meijian knife with his right hand. The tip of the knife was inserted downward into the ground. He barely kept his body from falling off the horse, but he was still speechless for a moment.
Come on, my body is a little stiff too.
At this time, Chen Zheng had also caught up. Seeing Zhang Cheng's behavior, he hurriedly drove his horse to be with Zhang Cheng. He stretched out his hand to hold Zhang Cheng's left hand holding the horse's reins and called out hurriedly: "Mr.
I can’t die..."
"Ah... huff... cough... cough cough..." Zhang Cheng took a deep breath and managed to recover.
Although I still feel the energy and blood boiling in my chest, it is much better than before. I can't help but secretly wonder, "Master Ge, I almost died before I left the army!"
He took a few more deep breaths, regained his breath a little, then glared at Chen Zheng and cursed: "I, you, are you so looking forward to my death?"
When Chen Zheng saw that Zhang Cheng was fine, he felt relieved and said with a smile: "I'm not looking forward to my death. I'm afraid that my boss won't take me with him!"
Zhang Cheng ignored him and said to Chen Zhong: "I'm fine. Is there another Tatar soldier?"
Chen Zhong felt relieved when he saw that Zhang Cheng's speech was normal and his complexion had recovered slightly. When he heard Zhang Cheng's question, he hurriedly looked to the northeast.
I saw hundreds of elite cavalry galloping, and from a distance I could see billowing smoke and a red cloud.
At this time, Chen Zheng answered for Chen Zhong: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, Hu Dake will kill the Tatar with his sentry, and he will bring the head of the thief to me soon. Hehe..."
After saying that, he and Chen Zhong dismounted, and together they helped Zhang Cheng dismount. Chen Zhong quickly took off his saddle, placed it on the ground, and helped Zhang Cheng sit down together with Chen Zheng.
The other guards also gathered around, riding their horses to guard the surroundings, leaving a ten-foot-square space in the middle for Zhang Cheng to rest.
