It's nearly June, the weather has become hot, the fields are lush with grass and trees, and the flowers are fragrant. It's a prosperous and peaceful scene.
However, peace is only on the surface. In fact, on the land of Henan, a war is brewing, and murderous intentions are everywhere among the four fields! Even if it is a prelude, if you are involved, you will be shattered.
A group of about ten knights were holding horses and surrounding several corpses. One of them was squatting on the ground and looking around, while the others looked around with pale faces.
"General Li... let's wait until dark before moving forward. It's too dangerous. If we bump into the Xiliang Army's scouts, then..."
"Zhao Si, you can be considered a military prince. What are you talking about now? Don't you know that the military situation is like a fire!" The man squatting on the ground snorted, stood up, and shouted: "Xu Rong's troops have arrived in the new city.
, the war is imminent, if we send the information earlier, General Wang will have a better chance of winning. How can he hesitate to advance because he is afraid of dangers? "
Hearing Xu Rong's name, everyone's faces turned a little pale, and a few of them even shuddered, and their eyes flickered around them even more.
"Don't forget who you are, a defeated general!"
Seeing the look on his comrades' faces, General Li became even more angry: "Zhang Shijun is kind and won't argue with us, but we have to know what is good and what is bad. If we can help General Wang win this battle, we will make some contribution."
, you can also redeem your merits. If not, do you think you still have the dignity to go back and see Zhang Shijun?"
"Li Xiaowei, please don't be angry. Brothers are either ignorant or scared of being beaten by Xu Rong... To be honest, even now, I often have nightmares at night, always thinking of Cheng Gao's battle.
, then Xu Rong is not a human at all. If he were a human, how could he train that kind of soldier?"
"Who says it's not..."
Some people smoothed things over, others took the opportunity to apologize and explain, but without exception, they all expressed the deep-seated fear of Xu Rong.
Hearing this, Lieutenant Li's memories were also brought back. The corner of his mouth twitched a few times, but in the end he did not get angry again, but sighed and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's move faster.
This place should be not far from General Wang's camp, counting the five here. The corpses we saw along the way are all from the Xiliang Army, General Wang should have the upper hand in the scouting battle."
The knights breathed a sigh of relief, but their expressions did not improve much.
"I heard that General Baima's subordinate led his army to the north with General Wang. Baima Yicong is indeed very powerful, but with thousands of light cavalry alone, I'm afraid it won't be able to do anything to Xu Rong."
"Yes, I heard that General Wang also brought a large group of people to the north. Isn't this asking for trouble? Apart from consuming military rations, what is the use of these burdens?"
"General Wang is in a hurry. It would be nice to wait for my lord to rest and then attack together. Why rush to ask for a battle? Facing Xu Rong, if he makes a slight mistake, his reputation will be ruined for the rest of his life..."
Everyone started discussing, but Lieutenant Li did not say anything. He himself was confused. At the same time, he also knew that the lord Zhang Miao was equally confused.
In order to discuss countermeasures, the lord Zhang Miao summoned Zang Hong and many other celebrities, and combined them with the statements of his own generals who had fought against Xu Rong. After studying for a long time, they could not come to a convincing conclusion.
Taking the people on the road, in addition to building momentum, may also have the effect of making Xu Rong surrender to rats. The celebrities did not know how Wang Yu made the judgment, but they all speculated on this.
The celebrities believed that after discovering the enemy's weakness, Wang Yu's countermeasures were unwise.
Who is Xu Rong? A famous general in the world!
For various reasons, he may indeed have this weakness, but he will definitely not be unaware of it. Now that he is aware of it, he will try to make up for it, and he will make up for it so perfectly that no one can find an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Or even turn vulnerabilities into traps to counter the enemy!
After coming to this conclusion, Zhang Miao was very anxious. After the Suanzao internal strife, the situation in Yanzhou changed greatly from before, and Liu Dai had the overall upper hand. Looking back at Zhang Miao, he had not yet been able to eliminate the impact of the Chenggao Battle.
Too busy to take care of yourself.
Therefore, despite being extremely anxious, he could only send out such a small group of cavalry in the end, hoping that Wang Yu could gain more first-hand information before the war.
Because of Wang Kuang's relationship, Zhang Miao and the Wang family are de facto allies. Wang Yu's increased power can also help Zhang Miao.
However, even Zhang Miao himself was not optimistic about the outcome of this battle, not to mention the frightened defeated generals.
"Listen, is this...the sound of horse hooves?" Captain Li did not participate in the discussion. He remained quite vigilant. He was the first to hear the sound coming from the wind.
"..." Everyone immediately closed their mouths, and amid the rough breathing, the noise in the distance became louder.
"Rumble..." The sound of horse hooves roared!
"Kill, kill!" The shouts of killing continued!
The smoke and dust surged up like a sea tide, moving at an extremely fast speed!
The next moment, Lieutenant Li's heart-rending cry rang out: "It's the cavalry! There are cavalry chasing them, coming this way! Hurry, get on your horse!"
The morale of the cavalry was not high. Seeing the emergency, their hands and feet became weak.
Except for Lieutenant Li, whose movements were quite nimble and climbed onto the horse before the horse came into view, the others did not have time to complete this simplest tactical action. Several of them even jumped from the horse's back.
He fell down and lay on the ground moaning.
Lieutenant Li was shivering all over. Now he could only hope that the Youzhou Army would have the upper hand, otherwise it would be difficult for him to escape with his life, let alone help the battle, with this group of trash!
However, contrary to expectations, the first thing that came into his sight were some white horses!
It was noon at this moment, the sky was cloudless and the sun was shining brightly.
The sun shone on the white horse, reflecting a dazzling light, which was extremely eye-catching! However, Lieutenant Li's heart sank to the bottom...
There are only five or six knights on the white horse, and there are at least ten cavalrymen chasing them behind. If his subordinates can stand up and fight, they may be able to help restore the situation. But now, after the knights on the white horse escape, they still want to survive.
?
The knight on the white horse in front spotted Captain Li and others, raised his voice and asked, "Who is that person in front of you?"
"Chen Liu, under the command of Envoy Zhang, is here as an envoy with important military intelligence reports!" Captain Li gritted his teeth after glancing at his unsteady companions. He had no choice but to care about others at this time. Stay.
We can only die together! Joining forces with the Taishan Army and bringing the information to General Wang is the most important thing.
Several white horse knights exchanged glances with each other, and seemed to believe it. However, their reaction was far beyond Captain Li's expectation. The leading knight just heard a loud shout: "Right here, deal with them!"
"Here!" several white horse knights responded loudly.
They let go of the horse's reins and controlled the horse with their feet. They took off the bows and arrows from behind!
"They are about to shoot arrows...avoid the arrows! Keep shooting! They are few in number, and we must fight to death even if we are fighting for their heads!"
With just such a movement, the dozen or so knights chasing after him were already frightened. The leading knight shouted at the top of his lungs. The shouts did not contain much of the arrogance and pride common in pursuers, but were full of panic.
It was a life-and-death fight. Neither of the two sides had any intention of talking to each other. They completed their tactical actions. It was a small-scale cavalry and archery battle that was enough to leave a deep impression on the spectators. This started!
"Beng, collapse..." The bowstrings seemed to have turned into strings, being plucked one after another in the hands of the cavalry, playing the rhythm of death.
"Chi! Chi!" The high-speed flying arrows tore through the air, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, shuttled back and forth in the air, like a flute that echoed the sound of a piano!
Zhang Gong!
Nocking an arrow!
Turn around and shoot the arrow!
Duck down to avoid arrows!
Repeat again...
Even if he kept staring, Lieutenant Li still didn't know how the knight aimed. Although the white horse followers were riding on horses, their movements were smooth and smooth. They were more skilled than those who were down-to-earth.
The chasing knights were not weak, and they were well prepared. They fired without showing any signs of weakness. Because there were more people, there were more arrows fired at the white horse righteous followers!
However, after one round of arrows, no one on both sides was injured. The pursuers were well prepared, and their avoidance and return fire were timely;
The arrows of the white horse Yi Cong were more accurate, which greatly interfered with the shooting of the pursuers. At the same time, their movement skills to avoid arrows were also better. What made Captain Li the most incredible was that one of the knights actually lay on his back.
On horseback, while avoiding the enemy's arrows, he shot the opponent with an arrow!
Lieutenant Li has never practiced riding and archery. Not everyone can practice this kind of kung fu well, so he can't see the secret behind it. However, one thing is certain, this kind of riding and arching kung fu is indeed unparalleled in the world.
However, what surprised him even more was what was behind!
After shooting the first arrow, both sides quickly drew the string and opened the bow. As a result, Bai Mayi came from this side and was so neatly ahead of the opponent!
A fatal thread!
Baima Yicong's shooting skills are extremely accurate. Although the pursuers are not mediocre, they can't do it because of the difficulty of avoiding arrows and shooting accurately at the same time!
So, during the decision-making process, some people hurriedly shot the arrows in their hands in order to avoid the arrows, completely missing the target; some brave people wanted to shoot the arrows before the enemy arrows hit themselves, but failed to do so.
; Others hesitated, which resulted in wasting precious time and accomplishing nothing...
A new note was added, it was the scream before death!
In the competition between masters, one move is slow and every step is slow!
The third round, the fourth round...
The Xiliang Army's arrow firing speed is getting slower and slower, and it is impossible to form a volley; but from the Baima Yi side, except for one knight who was hit by an arrow and fell off his horse, the others always maintained the same shooting frequency, high speed and efficiency!
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Six or seven corpses were left behind, but only one of the opponents was defeated. Even the dullest person knew that the defeat was certain. Under the command of the leader, the pursuers turned their horses around desperately,
Want to escape.
Of course, their efforts are destined to be in vain. How easy is it to change the direction of a galloping horse? What's more, in the process, they have to withstand continuous attacks from the enemy?
When the smoke and dust cleared, all ten Xiliang troops were wiped out, and the cavalry and archery battle ended with a loss rate of ten to one.
Colonel Li looked back at his comrades and found that there was still no one sitting on the horse, sitting or standing, and there were people lying on the ground. They all had different shapes, but the expressions on their faces were all the same, dumbfounded!
If I had known that Baima's loyalty was unparalleled in the world, who would have thought that they would be so strong?
I had already guessed that this battle would be extremely fierce, but who would have thought that a mere scout battle would reach this level?
When this war really begins, what will it be like?
