Four horses galloped quickly on the snow-covered grassland, towards a large army that stretched for several miles and marched along the shore of the Beihai Lake, and then came to an abrupt stop in front of the Chinese army's banner.
A large flag embroidered with the word "tiger" rustled in the strong north wind. Under the flag, a fat and strong Dawan horse caught people's attention. It was obviously larger than the other horses in the army.
Immediately there was a burly man over eight feet tall. Before the scout could turn over and kneel down to speak, he wrinkled his eyebrows stained white by snowflakes and asked, "Where did Gongsun Qin go?" With a movement of his mouth, , snowflakes fell from the short mustache that covered his face like steel needles.
A scout cavalry said hurriedly: "We encountered these two general Gongsun's scout cavalry fifteen miles northwest of the main army. They are currently fighting Helian Chenwu's main force. They hope we can send troops to support them!"
"Is this Zhou Jun, the disciple of Helian Chenwu? How many people are there?" Lin Hu seemed a little moved.
"Back to the general, there are three thousand cavalry in total. Most of them are Shengzhou cavalry from the woodland tribe, and there are also people from Hanjian Villa! We are fighting very hard now, and we ask the general to send troops to rescue as soon as possible!" The scout cavalry sent by Gongsun Qin hurriedly Replied. For fear of missing the military plane, the two of them followed the reconnaissance cavalry sent by Lin Hu and ran directly over.
Lin Hu didn't seem too surprised by the news. He turned to look at a general beside him and said: "Prince Mu, please take five thousand cavalry to support Gongsun Qin immediately. You must wipe out all the enemy troops! This is Helian Chenwu’s last family fortune, I hope the prince will eradicate it and eliminate all evil!"
"I obey!" Prince Mu casually bowed his hand to Lin Hu, as if he didn't take Lin Hu seriously. Then he turned his horse's head and ordered his lieutenant to gather five thousand troops and march north.
"Leader, why don't you go by yourself?" the military advisor next to Lin Hu asked quietly.
"Since he wants to do meritorious service so much, let's give him the credit. It's better if the Anzhou Army takes action, so as to save us from being unable to do it! However, the woodland tribe has extraordinary combat power, so we'd better be careful and pass on the order to the right army. Pick four battalions to follow. If not necessary, don't take action for the time being, lest Helianxing thinks I want to take away his credit."
"Yes!" the military advisor responded, preparing to pass the order to the right army.
"Wait!" Lin Hu stopped the military advisor and added: "Send more scouts to the north to investigate the battle situation and report back in time. Also send someone to inform Goshawk about the situation here and see where he is. Already."
"yes!"
…
Helianxing is the hereditary vassal king of Mu County in Anzhou and the commander of the Anzhou Guard. He defends the safety of Qingcheng in Zhongjing at the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain. His main defense is Goshawk, a king with a different surname. Helian Qingfeng allocated two men to Lin Hu. Most of the ten thousand cavalry were his men and horses, and the rest were some cavalry that were urgently mobilized from Xiazhou and other places. Since the battles in Beiyan were still frequent, Helian Qingfeng did not have many troops to mobilize, so he could only send troops to Zhongjing. The nearby troops were mobilized.
The Anzhou cavalry's combat effectiveness is at the middle level at best, but Helianxing never thinks so. Since he often leads his troops to chase the horse bandits, Helianxing always thinks that his cavalry can compete with the "Tornado".
After receiving Lin Hu's military order, He Lianxing was overjoyed. What he was dissatisfied with was Lin Hu's condescending attitude. A repeat villain who rebelled again and again actually climbed onto the head of himself, the county king. He Lianxing had At that moment, what I was thinking about was secretly asking the emperor to deal with Lin Hu, a naturally rebellious villain! But the top priority now is to rush to Gongsun Qin as soon as possible. We must get this peach before Gongsun eats the Eastern Zhou Army. Pick it into your own hands!
Under the urging of Helianxing, the five thousand Anzhou Army rushed north. However, although the land on the grassland was flat, the north wind was fierce and the snow on the ground was rolled up from time to time. When facing the wind, it was difficult for the troops and horses to open their eyes.
, especially the cavalry running a little behind. The snow raised by the horses' hooves in front is blown by the strong wind, and it is almost impossible to see what is a foot away. How can they pick up the speed? The distance between the horses is getting bigger and bigger.
As they got bigger, they had not run very far before the five thousand riders actually stretched into a team that was three or four miles apart from end to end.
"Prince Mu, there seems to be a rapidly advancing army ahead. They are all dressed in white, and the number of people cannot be seen clearly!" The scout who came out came back and reported to Helianxing.
"Great! Send an order to the whole army to prepare for the battle!" Helianxing already knew that Gongsun Qin had been defeated, but he did not feel any regret or regret at all. Instead, he felt complacent about the credit he had so easily obtained.
How many people are left in a 3,000-man team that has just fought against an army of 10,000 people? How much strength is left? Gongsun Qin and Guo Chang were defeated best, and now no one can share their credit!
"Your Majesty, it should be two miles ahead. Should we wait for the people behind?" Helianxing's pro-army commander asked loudly. Two miles ahead, the snowflakes splashed by horse hooves were like a thick cloud under the strong wind.
Due to the fog, and the fact that the other party was all wearing white robes, it was hard to see the number of people at the moment.
"What are you waiting for? Slow down to boost the opponent's morale? Speed up and rush over!" Helianxing waved his hand and asked everyone to march towards the snow mist!
…
Helianxing couldn't see the Eastern Zhou Army clearly, but the Eastern Zhou Army could clearly see the Northern Zhou Army. The enemy troops facing the wind were about a hundred people in a row. Except for the first few rows, which maintained their formation, the people behind were loose.
The ground is like soft bee cake.
He Qizhou, who was leading the way, couldn't help but smile and said: "The live target is here, get ready to shoot!"
As the general's order was passed back quickly, the three thousand cavalry quickly spread out horizontally, and the three thousand strong bows were aimed at the incoming Northern Zhou cavalry.
"Fire!" The opponent entered the shooting range in an instant. Following He Qizhou's command, three thousand sharp arrows were shot upward, drawing deadly arcs in the air and falling towards the unknown Helianxing army!
…
"They are shooting arrows! My lord, be careful! The shield men protect your lord!" After all, Helianxing's captain of the bodyguard had been fighting for many years and had already calculated the timing of the opponent's arrows. When he heard the sound of the bowstring, he immediately alerted the shield men to be on guard.
In fact, Helian's men and horses were wearing armor, and they were all carefully made steel armor. They were not very afraid of the arrows falling from such a distance. However, the cavalry around him were not so lucky. As the arrows fell, they only fired a volley.
, hundreds of horsemen were shot to the ground, and many people were knocked over because the people in front fell off their horses and were unable to dodge.
"Why don't we shoot? Fight back!" Helianxing had already stopped at this time, listening to the "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound of arrowheads hitting the shield above his head, he couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Can't shoot!" the captain of the guard shouted hurriedly: "We can't shoot far against the wind. When they come over and kill us, we won't even have enough time to change weapons!"
"Then tell everyone to keep charging!" Helianxing finally made the only correct decision, but due to his underestimate of the number and strength of "Blizzard", any decision became a futile struggle!
... He Qizhou and all the Blizzard soldiers found that this battle was actually easier than the last one. It was so easy that it almost didn't feel like a war! When they attacked Guo Chang's army just now, some people would fall into the opponent's several-to-one attack from time to time.
During the siege, this time the three thousand cavalry charging neatly faced only a hundred or dozens of cavalry! A few people faced each other. After harvesting one crop, the next crop came to the door aimlessly.
Helianxing was killed in the first round of the head-on collision with Blizzard. He didn't even know who was so great as to kill himself, the general who dominated the side.
Indeed, no one under He Qizhou realized that he had killed the leader of this army. Anyway, in the snow and wind, waves of enemy troops without orders came to die!
Finally, someone realized that something was wrong, and the slow-running Anzhou soldiers began to flee in all directions except due north. He Qizhou had already told his generals not to worry about any deserters and leave them to the rear army led by the emperor to deal with them.
Just attack Lin Hu's Chinese army! Therefore, the "Blizzard" formation does not break up and continues to march towards the lakeshore not far away!
"Retreat quickly, retreat quickly! Withdraw to the army on the shore!" The four battalions sent by Lin Hu looked at the one-sided battle situation from a distance. How could they dare to go and die? They retreated while shouting loudly, thinking
Let Anzhou's defeated troops stop running around aimlessly!
…
"General, the enemy's combat strength is extraordinary. The Anzhou Army has been defeated. Helian Xing's life and death are unknown. The fourth battalion that was just sent is retreating. Helian Chenwu's imperial flag was found twenty miles away!"
The scout cavalry's series of reports made Lin Hu unable to sit still anymore. He walked a few steps under the commander's banner and then said decisively: "Retreat, wrap up the horses' hooves, retreat to the southeast to the lake, and then send someone to ask for help from the goshawk and let him
Bring all the troops over here!"
The military advisor on the side said hurriedly: "General, why don't you go up and fight? How can the goshawk come to help us?"
"I'm not afraid of the Helian morning mist. The opponent is in full swing at this time and is attacking with the wind. There is less snow on the ice. At least we won't lose the advantage of the terrain by retreating to the southeast, and we can neutralize the opponent's momentum!" Lin Hu can hold up!
Half of the Eastern Zhou military world has its own merits. After thinking about it, he said: "Send people to goshawk and tell him that as the leader of the Tianlong Sect, I order him, the protector, to come to help in the battle. At least five thousand people must be sent."
People come here."
…
The eyes were finally clear, and there were no more intimidating enemy troops. In the last two miles of the charge, the enemy troops who were unable to escape all abandoned their weapons and dismounted and surrendered.
He Qizhou had repeatedly warned during the training that the "Blizzard" was a benevolent and righteous army that would not kill or commit evil, so it just bypassed the surrendering troops and continued to rush south.
Under the setting sun, the distant lake shore was already vaguely visible, and the frozen lake seemed to glow with a layer of blue light, like a boundary between heaven and earth. The group of enemy soldiers who were fleeing in order suddenly stopped on that boundary line.
, He Qizhou did not waste the momentum that was now rising into the sky, and continued to lead the blizzard towards the south!
After charging forward for about a mile, the scene on the lake shore was already clear. Lin Hu's main force was not visible, only about two thousand black-armored cavalry. At this time, the two thousand cavalry had wrapped their horseshoes, retreated into the ice, and began
Run towards the southeast.
The charging team in the snowstorm spread out horizontally for about a mile. When they almost reached the lake shore, someone from the east side ran to the middle road and reported to He Qizhouhui: "Your Highness, Lin Hu's army is there!" This chapter has been completed!
