"Looking at their formation and momentum, they are not ordinary bandits!"
Captain Xiao looked at the galloping cavalry and said worriedly.
"Of course, how can any ordinary bandit gather dozens of war horses?"
Qin Ming frowned and said: "Besides, they are skilled in horsemanship and use scimitars. I dare say they must be party cavalry!"
"Have all the party members infiltrated here?"
Captain Xiao asked in surprise.
Sichuan, Sichuan and Tubo border on each other and are far away from the Dangxiang border.
"Don't talk about it here, I heard that there are detailed party plans in Jiangnan to encourage people to rebel."
Qin Ming said: "It's just that the party items are all carried out alone. There have never been more than a hundred people like this, and dozens of war horses have been brought over!
In order to prevent His Highness from going to Tibet, the Dangxiang people are really crazy!"
Although Dakang's national power is weak, it is not so weak that one or two hundred party members can run rampant.
Especially in Xichuan, Qing Mulan's eldest brother Qing Xinyao was one of the few state pastors from Dakang's main war faction, and he would never let these party members leave alive.
On the carriage, Qing Mulan glanced out from the crack of the window and said in surprise: "Wuyang, you and your husband guessed it right. The party members really sent people to rob and kill us!"
"Now that they're here, don't leave!"
The Ninth Princess sneered.
"They only have less than 200 people. We have almost 400 people in total. They will definitely not be able to escape!" Qing Mulan said confidently.
"It's too early to tell. Three years ago, two hundred party cavalrymen killed three thousand soldiers in Guanzhong until they lost their helmets and armor. Now that the enemy is determined to die and their morale is even higher, this battle may not be easy to fight."
"We also have cavalry!" Qing Mulan said unconvinced.
"It's different. The Dangxiang people have grown up on horses since they were young. They are all very good at riding. How many days have your escorts been exposed to war horses?" Ninth Princess said: "If the soldiers of the government are defeated and the two sides start a horse battle,
The escorts have little chance of winning."
"There are a full two hundred soldiers in the palace. They won't be scattered, right?"
"I hope so." Ninth Princess sighed and stopped talking.
Princess Ninth's worries are not unreasonable.
The soldiers of the Guangyuan Prefecture usually neglected to train. When they went out of the city to suppress the bandits, they only went for a walk in the mountains. After Captain Xiao collected the military pay collected by the squires, he returned to the city. From the beginning to the end, there was not even a trace of the bandits.
Most of the two hundred soldiers had only fought once, and that was when they followed Jin Feng to Wulang Mountain to rescue Qing Mulan.
Now it is really difficult for them to face the murderous party cavalry.
Dozens of war horses galloping towards you are similar to dozens of speeding cars hitting you head-on. It is normal for most people to be afraid.
Veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time are actually afraid, but they can restrain themselves.
But these soldiers were seeing cavalry for the first time. How could they have the restraint of veterans?
The opponent was still hundreds of meters away, and many soldiers had their legs shaking with fear.
Qin Ming realized that the morale of the soldiers was about to decline, so he quickly shouted to Liu Tie: "Tiezi, what are you waiting for?"
Liu Tie gave an order, and several heavy crossbows were fired at the same time.
However, the party members had already discovered the heavy crossbows, and the cavalry were very scattered. When they saw the heavy crossbows being fired, they took evasive action in time. The first round of firing from several heavy crossbows only killed two cavalrymen.
The Dangxiang people advocated force, and there were constant battles between tribes. They had long been accustomed to fighting on the battlefield.
None of the remaining cavalrymen looked back at their dead comrades. Instead, they beat their horses wildly, trying to reach the soldiers before the heavy crossbows were reloaded.
This fierce and fearless momentum made the already frightened soldiers even more frightened.
"They are using scimitars, not bandits, they are party cavalry!"
Finally, Youfu soldiers saw something unusual on the other side and exclaimed loudly.
The Dangxiang cavalry has been demonized among the people of Dakang. They are invincible murderous demons. The people hate and fear them.
There was a sudden commotion among the soldiers.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. Dangxiang people are not trivial. Mr. Jin is in Qingshui Valley. Killing Dangxiang people is like killing a chicken!"
Captain Xiao quickly shouted loudly, using Jin Feng's achievements to cheer up the soldiers.
But when the distance between the cavalry and the cavalry was less than a hundred feet, some soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore, threw down their weapons and ran away.
Someone takes the lead, and someone immediately follows.
What the Ninth Princess was worried about still happened.
Before the party's cavalry could approach, the government soldiers had already become a mess and fled in all directions.
"Everyone, stop! If anyone dares to run again, I will chop him down!"
Lieutenant Xiao was so anxious that veins popped out on his forehead, and he swung his sword to kill two fleeing soldiers one after another.
But the scene was so chaotic that Captain Xiao couldn't stop him at all, and all the soldiers ran away!
At this time, the party's cavalry was already twenty feet away.
The party members who were walking behind were also within a hundred feet.
"It's over!"
Captain Xiao was heartbroken.
The soldiers of the government can escape, but he, the captain who leads the team, cannot escape.
The Ninth Princess mainly had a problem. He fled to the end of the world, and the court and the Guangyuan County Sheriff would not let him go, nor would they let his family in the county go!
Captain Xiao, who knew he was bound to die, was no longer afraid at this time, and faced the party members and drew his sword!
If you fall into the hands of party members, your life will probably be worse than death. It would be better to face the enemy and fight, not only will you die quickly, but your family will also be spared from being implicated.
Captain Xiao was already determined to fight to the death, but he saw the bodyguards and the bodyguards led by Qin Ming ducking to both sides of the official road.
The workers, who had always had no sense of presence, lifted the coarse cloth on the pallet truck and opened boxes one after another.
There were dozens of carts, more than twenty of them were pulling heavy crossbows, and there were also several portable catapults.
This is the real confidence that Princess Ninth has to face the party cavalry without changing her expression!
The heavy crossbows and catapults installed in the boxes are strung in advance and can be fired directly by removing the safety.
"Fire the arrow!"
Following Niubeng's command, more than twenty heavy spear-like crossbow arrows lined up in a row and roared towards the cavalry.
The catapults were also fired at the same time, but their targets were the party infantry behind the cavalry.
The bodyguards were not idle either. The male soldiers took out jars of kerosene, and the female soldiers raised their crossbows!
At this time, the party members were less than ten feet away from Captain Xiao's position and had no time to dodge.
More than twenty arrows were fired at the same time, leaving no room for them to dodge!
Clouds of blood mist erupted from the cavalry. The party cavalry, who were unstoppable just now, were vulnerable to the heavy crossbows!
Just one salvo and more than half of them were lost!
And this was just the beginning. Before the cavalry who were lucky enough to survive could recover, the female soldiers fired their crossbows one after another.
Several more cavalrymen fell from their horses.
Immediately afterwards, the male soldier smashed the jar of kerosene onto the ground in front of the cavalry.
Amei flicked her wrist and a fire stick fell into the oil puddle.
boom!
The fire broke out instantly.
It was too late for the party cavalry to rein in their horses, so they had no choice but to rush into the sea of fire!
By the time they rushed out of the sea of fire, dozens of party cavalrymen were already less than ten!
Amei and Qin'er jumped up from the carriage at the same time and rushed over!
[The author has something to say]
The Ninth Princess is related to the main plot of the book, so a lot of pen and ink has been spent, but the foreshadowing has been completed, and Beichuan is looking forward to the next few hundred thousand words. By the way, Beichuan's job is on a construction site, and he has to meet the deadline at the end of the year.
I settled the account before the year, so I have been busy recently, so there have been few updates. Please forgive me, and I would also like to thank the book friends who have always supported Beichuan. Thank you very much.
