Chapter 418: Battle of Xintai (4)
Three hundred war horses spread their hooves and galloped wildly, and they rushed to the north of Xintai City before the tea work, like a black wave, clinging to the city wall and surging towards the south of the city.
It was almost noon, the sun was almost direct, and the shadow cast on the ground by the city was very short, when a team of horses suddenly rushed out of the shadow of the corner of the city wall, and the knights were all dressed in black short fighting suits, and the sabers in their hands shimmered in the sunlight, and the sound of horses' hooves was like a muffled thunder.
"Enemy attack!" The mournful screams rose one after another in the Ming army camp.
Xu Jin looked at the horse team that suddenly jumped out from behind the city and killed this side with murderous spirit, and instantly understood Zhao Quan's wishful thinking, daring to love the real target of himself.
At this moment, Xu Jin also had to admire Zhao Quan's courage, and even dragged most of his soldiers and horses at the cost of Xintai City, and then sent people and cavalry to attack and kill them suddenly. Just three hundred riders want me Xu Jinxiang to be on the head, that's too much to take for granted!
Xu Jin didn't panic, because at this time, there were still two thousand Yanzhou guards in the camp, and there were five hundred brocade guards, so why be afraid!
After this period of training and fighting, the two thousand Yanzhou guards were no longer the low-combat planters at the beginning, and they reacted immediately after a short period of panic.
"Protect Chincha-sama!" The two thousand households of Yanzhou Wei drew their waist swords and moved in an orderly manner, and hundreds of pikemen were in front, quickly connecting into a gun formation, and facing the attacking three hundred cavalry in a crescent shape.
Xue Bingxin bent over, her upper body was almost in line with the horse's back, like a black lightning galloping forward, her eyes were keen, and she could see at a glance the handsome young man under the banner of the Xuanhuang Tuanlong, surrounded by a group of brocade guards.
"Drive!" Lei Jun slapped the horse's buttocks, and the speed of the war horse suddenly sped up a few points, and he galloped past Xue Bingxin and grabbed to the front.
Although Lei Jun's martial arts are not as good as Xue Bingxin's, his equestrian skills are absolutely first-class. As a man, how can you fall behind a woman when you charge? What's more, this woman is still the object of his heart.
Lei Jun took the lead, staring at the handsome young man in civilian clothes in the Ming army's array, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sinister smile, this kid should be Qincha.
Probably wanting to show off in front of Xue Bingxin, Lei Jun hung up the saber, and with a flip of his wrist, he took off the two stone bows he was carrying, and carved the bows like a full moon.
Boom......
But seeing that the arrow was like a meteor, the powerful long arrow flew over a distance of 100 meters and went straight to Xu Jin's throat.
"Be careful, sir!"
Several brocade guards in front of Xu Jin raised their shields at the same time, and with a muffled bang, the sharp arrow directly pierced through one shield, and only stopped when it hit the second shield.
Lu Song's face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "This thief has good archery skills, everyone be careful to protect your lord." ”
Shooting an arrow at a galloping horse is not an easy task, and it is even more difficult to shoot accurately.
Lei Jun saw that the blow missed, so he could only hang up the bow and pick up the saber again, at this time he was less than fifty meters away from the Ming army, and there was no chance for him to shoot a second arrow.
"Go around to the back!" Xue Bingxin snorted coldly, turned the horse's head, and led the horse team around the Ming army's spear formation, obviously wanting to attack from behind.
"My lord, the ...... It seems to be ...... Miss Xue! The chief Sima Yuan swallowed his saliva hard.
Xu Jin also recognized that the woman in the black suit was Xue Bingxin at this time, and a trace of complexity flashed in her eyes, but she was quickly replaced by calmness, and said lightly: "Jin Baihu, attack!" ”
The speed of the infantry is far less than that of the cavalry, and it is okay to defend in situ, if you follow the cavalry to change formation, it will only be a chaotic formation, and then you will only be slaughtered, so Xu Jin decisively ordered the Jinyi guard to attack and block the attack.
"Order!" Jin Baihu immediately led four hundred cavalry guards to rush out of the camp and kill the thieves.
The two cavalry collided together, and a fierce fight broke out immediately, and the 1,000 infantry of Yanzhou Wei took the opportunity to surround and fight, while the other 1,000 infantry retreated to Xu Jin's surroundings and waited.
After all, the combat effectiveness of the Jinyi Guard is not as good as the brave horse thief, and he was beaten backwards, if it wasn't for the assistance of a thousand foot soldiers, I am afraid that it would not last long to be broken.
Xu Jin frowned, and ordered a Jinyi guard next to him to ride into the city to recall Qi Jingtong, after thinking about it, he called a herald and ordered him to rush to Surabaya County immediately and mobilize Xuzhou Wei to come to support.
At this moment, the dust suddenly rolled in the northwest, and a team of disheveled clothes rushed from the official road, and it seemed that the number of people was no less than thousands.
"Our reinforcements are coming, brothers kill, kill the dog Qincha Xu Jin." Lei Jun shouted excitedly, and the horse thieves thundered with joy, and they killed the Jinyi guards on their backs.
Lu Song's face couldn't help but change greatly, and he hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, the enemy is outnumbered, quickly retreat to Surabaya City, where there are Xuzhou guards guarding." ”
Xu Jin looked at the thieves who were crowded in a dense manner, and his scalp couldn't help tingling, but he knew very well that he couldn't escape, and he definitely couldn't escape. As the commander of the three armies, if he escapes at this time, the morale of the army will be absolutely chaotic, and then he will really be defeated like a mountain soldier, and there will be no way to recover it.
Xu Jin gritted his teeth, untied the fire gun from his waist, and shouted in a deep voice: "Brothers, hold on, our reinforcements will arrive soon, Ben Qin is here to fight side by side with everyone, the flag is in the people, the flag is destroyed, and the people are dead!" ”
"The flag is in the people, the flag is destroyed, people are killed, killed!" The two thousand Ming troops let out an earth-shattering roar and slaughtered the thieves who were nearly several times their size.
The tragic battle revolved around the Xuanhuang Regiment Dragon Banner, and at such a close distance, Xu Jin could clearly hear the sound of sharp blades entering flesh and cutting bones; You can see white brains splattering out of the cracked skull......
The 5,000 thieves sent by Wang Tang were all elite, but they hurried here from Tai'an City with their feet, and their physical strength was extremely exertional, and they were defeated by the 2,000 Yanzhou guards who were not afraid of death.
……
Inside the city of Xintai. The Ming army is encircling and suppressing the thieves in the streets and alleys, looking down from the sky from a bird's eye view, but seeing that the scene is chaotic and fighting everywhere, this situation will not be able to reunite the army and disturb it, which is also the effect that Zhao Quan wants. In this way, even if the Ming army learned that Qincha was in danger, it would be difficult to organize a large number of people to go out of the city to help.
Of course, it was relatively easy for a mobile cavalry to regroup. After receiving the order to return to help, Qi Jingtong hurriedly rode his horse and shouted, and soon gathered his cavalry and galloped towards the city gate.
Zhao Quan, who had been standing on a high place and secretly observing, discovered the abnormal movement of the Ming cavalry, and immediately guessed what was going on, took out a flag and waved it, and a hidden elite of the White Lotus Sect immediately came out, blocking the street with antlers and horses, blocking Qi Jingtong and others who tried to leave the city.
……
In the camp of the Ming army outside the city, the battle has become white-hot, both sides are red-eyed, the Ming army wants to desperately protect Xu Jin, and the thief soldiers want to kill Xu Jin desperately, this is a battle related to the overall situation.
After all, the Ming army suffered a loss in numbers, and the scales of victory gradually fell to the thief soldiers. At this moment, nearly half of Yanzhouwei's 2,000 men and horses had been killed or wounded, and they had to shrink their battle lines, and some thieves took the opportunity to release cold arrows at Xu Jin, but fortunately, Xu Jin's surroundings were already protected by the shield of Jinyiwei.
The situation became more and more critical, and horse thieves continued to tear through the defense line of the Jinyi Guard and kill under the banner of the Xuanhuang Tuanlong, but they were soon shot by the fire guns that were waiting for them. Since the last time he was in distress outside Qufu City, Xu Jin had already equipped some of the Jinyi guards with firearms.
Xu Jin rode on horseback, calmly observing the battle situation on the periphery through the gaps between the shields, and Erniu carried an iron rod vigilantly behind him.
As time passed, the casualties of the Yanzhou Wei and the Jinyi Wei became heavier and heavier, and the infantry's defense line was finally torn open, and the thieves thundered with joy and rushed to the Qincha banner.
Xue Bingxin, who was riding a horse to kill left and right, hurriedly raised her eyes, and when she saw that there were nearly 100 brocade guards under the banner of Qincha, her heart was inexplicably relieved, and she secretly said, that guy shouldn't be dead!
Xue Bingxin was a little distracted, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw Lei Jun stretching his bow and arrows, it turned out that the Jinyi guard who was protecting Xu Jin had to deal with the thieves who were close to him, so there was a large gap between the shields, and half of Xu Jin's body was exposed.
The corners of Lei Jun's mouth showed a sinister smile, but at the moment when he loosened the string, the war horse that stepped down suddenly turned upside down, and boom, the sharp arrow that flew out of the string suddenly deviated, flew over Xu Jin's head, and nailed it to the flagpole of the Xuanhuang Regiment Dragon Flag.
Lei Jun looked back angrily and saw Xue Bingxin fighting fiercely with a brocade-clothed guard, the horse's butt was not far from her horse, and it was estimated that it was her war horse that hit her own war horse just now.
The anger on Lei Jun's face disappeared immediately, and he swallowed back a stinky scolding in his throat, and there was still a snickering joy in his heart, probably thinking that Xue Bingxin was protecting him and blocking the sneak attack from behind Jinyiwei.
After another cup of tea, there were more gaps in the defense line of the Ming army, and the thieves gathered more and more, surrounding Xu Jin and others under the Xuanhuang Tuanlong.
"My lord, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, let's withdraw, let's return to Surabaya City and fight again!" Lu Song said anxiously.
Xu Jin ignored it, raised his hand and killed a thief soldier with a firebolt, and said coldly: "Who the fuck dares to take a step back, this official has collapsed him, steady, reinforcements will arrive soon!" ”
It seemed to be in response to Xu Jin, as soon as he spoke, the official road in the northwest direction was dusty again, but when he saw a team appear at the turn of the official road, dozens of horsemen were galloping wildly, all of them were mandarin duck battle jackets, and there was no doubt that it was the Ming army.
"My lord, reinforcements, it's really reinforcements coming, it's Lin Qingwei!" A brocade guard shouted loudly.
Reinforcements are coming!
The Ming army and Jinyiwei, who were originally demoralized, couldn't help but lift their spirits and launched a wave of counterattacks. ()
