Chapter 437: Caught in the Middle

Lan Ziyi followed the soldier's point and looked, and Qi Rongxun was standing with the rest of the soldiers covered in blood to protect the wounded. Lan Ziyi saw Qi Rongxun's right arm soaked in blood, hanging low beside him, holding the remnant knife with only his left hand.

Seeing Lan Ziyi coming to help, Qi Rongxun, who had been holding his nerves and holding his breath, was finally relieved, and this relief was also relieved, and in the blink of an eye, Qi Rongxun was exhausted, as if he had lost his strength.

Lan Ziyi looked at Qi Rongxun, and Qi Rongxun also looked at Lan Ziyi, the two exchanged glances and nodded at each other.

Lan Ziyi wanted to go over to discuss the military situation with Qi Rongxun immediately, but the demon thieves who besieged Qi Rongxun just now were now intertwined with Lan Ziyi and them, and Lan Ziyi couldn't move for a while.

Lan Ziyi, who was in a hurry, shouted loudly:

"You Tiefutu claim to be the elite of the Taisho elite, why can't you even handle these little thieves? Hurry up and open the way, if it's too late, will you be surrounded by demon thieves? ”

Lan Ziyi's scolding is actually unreasonable, because it is the elite of the demon thieves who fight with them. However, there are not many heavy-armored elites of these demon thieves, and the two hundred horsemen brought by Lan Ziyi completely overwhelmed the demon thieves.

The elite is the elite, after being surrounded, these heavy-armored thieves found that the long soldiers were useless, so they threw away their weapons and went to fight with the Iron Floaters with their bare hands, and several soldiers were pulled off their horses by the demon thieves. It's just that the demon thieves are not as fierce as the Iron Floating Slaughter, and the Iron Floating Slaughter are strong men who are on a par with the elite of the demon thieves, and they are numerous and condescending, how can they be suppressed by the demon thieves.

The soldiers quickly adapted to the new tactics of the demon thieves, didn't they just drag them with their hands? The long knife in the knight's hand is not for idle food. What the? The armor is too thick to cut through? One knife can't be worn twice, anyway, there are many people, and a few people can always find a gap in his armor when they come forward to besiege one. As for the spearmen and other miscellaneous soldiers of those demon thieves, they didn't even have armor, and when they charged just now, these thieves were scared away without being trampled on.

The Iron Floaters quickly suppressed the demon thieves, and several soldiers who were stopped from their horses also got up from the ground and returned to their horses, and the demon thieves simply did not have time to mend their swords and kill these officers and soldiers.

After Lan Ziyi finished scolding, the road ahead was quickly cleared, he rode his horse to Qi Rongxun, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and asked:

"Is Qi Hou's injury serious?"

At this time, Qi Rongxun was cutting his sleeve and bandaging the wound with the help of the sergeant next to him, shook his head when he heard this, and replied:

"It's okay, don't die."

Then Qi Rongxun handed his shoulder to the sergeant to bandage, raised his head and said to Lan Ziyi:

"Thank you Wei Hou for coming to the rescue, if it weren't for Wei Hou Rongxun, he would have died here today!"

兰子义 says:

"Qi Hou is serious, if I don't save him when I die, is it still a human being?"

Lan Ziyi looked around Qi Rongxun and saw no trace of Zhang Yanwu, so he asked:

"Qi Hou, didn't Zhang join the army with you? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Could it be that something happened to him? ”

Qi Rongxun said "hi" and replied very disdainfully:

"You say Zhang Yanwu is so shy? He was surrounded by the army behind, so he didn't have the courage to come up with me and fight hard. ”

Lan Ziyi listened to Qi Rongxun's disdainful tone, and sensed a trace of subtlety in his heart. Although Lan Ziyi and Zhang Yanwu are not close friends, but after two consecutive battles, Lan Ziyi still knows Zhang Yanwu's character, and it is not false to say that Zhang Yanwu is brave and strategic. Qi Rongxun talked like this, and I don't know what to do with Zhang Yanwu.

It's just that no matter what the two of them have, Qi Rongxun didn't play well today, his main force was surrounded, and he was surrounded alone, so he could only be called brave and unscrupulous. So Lan Ziyi asked sarcastically:

"Qi Hou rushed out and came to be besieged, did he want to lead his troops to break through? Or do you want to raid Lei Youde and decapitate him? I just saw that your army was defeated by the demon thieves, and now it is surrounded in the middle, and you rushed out alone to let the soldiers who were surrounded behind you do? ”

Qi Rongxun was asked by Lan Ziyi in a word, and his face, which was pale from blood loss, turned red. After thinking about it, Qi Rongxun still diverted the topic and asked Lan Ziyi:

"I just saw King De fleeing behind me, and my father-in-law retreated, why did the Marquis suddenly come up to support me again?"

Lan Ziyi didn't want Qi Rongxun to be too embarrassed, so he replied along with his words:

"I persuaded my father-in-law to stop. Then my father-in-law ordered me to bring Tiefutu to outflank the demon thief, and when I saw that Qi Hou was surrounded, I led my troops to come forward to relieve the siege. β€œ

Hearing this, Qi Rongxun looked at the soldiers who were fighting on all sides around him and asked:

"There are still five hundred horsemen left in the Iron Floating Slaughter, and there are less than three hundred of you here, what about the others?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"I was sent by my father-in-law to protect King De."

Qi Rongxun sighed softly when he heard this, and shook his head while sighing. Seeing this, Lan Ziyi thought to himself, since you, Qi Rongxun, are also unhappy with King De, why don't you disobey your orders? The Eastern Army is all your relatives' family, as long as you say that the king of Bude can mobilize a soldier?

Qi Rongxun sighed and then asked:

"What about your eldest brother? Why didn't he, the tiger general, come with you? β€œ

Lan Ziyi said:

"I was also sent by my father-in-law to protect King De."

Qi Rongxun smacked his tongue when he heard this, but it was useless to smack his tongue and sigh, he could only think about the good, so he asked:

"Who else is here besides Wei Houlai?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"The Jihu battalion returned to the camp yesterday without any damage, and its morale should be guaranteed today. Before I came, I had already asked my second brother to go over to stabilize the morale of the army, as long as my second brother can stabilize the Jihu battalion, these thousands of iron cavalry will be a help.

In addition, the Imperial Forest Army and the Shenji Battalion in front of the Gonggong Horse are all combat power, and now the Gonggong will collect your retreats in this formation, and when the time comes, he will attack with the Jihu Battalion.

I went around to the back of the demon thief to cooperate with my father-in-law to besiege the demon thief on three sides. β€œ

Hearing this, Qi Rongxun asked:

"If that's the case, Wei Hou shouldn't have come to save me, now that you are in the enemy formation, how can you cooperate with your father-in-law?"

Lan Ziyi said:

"If I don't have two hundred horsemen, I won't be injured in the battle, but if Qi Hou is missing, everyone can't explain to General Qi today.

Besides, my two hundred men are all iron horsemen, and I will speed up the way out of the demon thieves when I send you back to the battle! β€œ

As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, a sergeant shouted:

"Wei Hou! We're surrounded! ”

Lan Ziyi glanced back, there were already a lot of spearmen in the direction where Lei Youde fled just now, and there was also the kind of sharpened long wood that Lan Ziyi had taught before. Fortunately, there were already knights and Qi Rongxun's soldiers who had opened the bloody way back to the Eastern Army's formation, and now they only needed to send Qi Rongxun back to the formation.

Lan Ziyi stepped on the horse, and felt the pain of drilling his heart from the center of his foot, and Lan Ziyi remembered that he still had injuries on his feet, but the battle situation was urgent, as long as there was a horse, there was no need to think about the injuries on his feet.

After Lan Ziyi got on the horse, he commanded:

"Quickly send Qi Hou back to the formation, let's ...... to the right"

Lan Ziyi swallowed the rest back before he finished speaking, because after getting on the horse, he found that there were spearmen who specialized in cavalry in all directions, and those sharp logs also grew out of the ground like bamboo shoots, all over the battlefield.

The soldiers on the periphery had already begun to urge their horses to squeeze into the middle, and someone reported to Lan Ziyi:

"Weihou, the ground has been trampled on by us, and we can't stand it anymore, and our horses are running. Besides, there are spears all around, and they are all in formation, how can we kill to the right? ”

At this time, Qi Rongxun had already supported each other with the surrounding soldiers and retreated, and when he saw this, he turned back and said:

"Wei Hou, it's better to go back to the army with me to think about it in the long run, at least there are no demon thieves there."

Lan Ziyi bit his lip and didn't answer, but the form was pressing, he had to make a decision, and as a last resort, Lan Ziyi still ordered:

"All the troops will follow me to the eastern army first!"

So the two hundred iron horsemen stepped on the mud ground, and followed Qi Rongxun into the Eastern Army formation through the gap he had just killed.

In fact, the Eastern Army under Qi Rongxun can no longer be called a military formation, it is just a group of chaotic troops that have been surrounded, without Qi Rongxun commanding this group of Eastern Army, they are completely fighting separately and mixed together, Lan Ziyi and they have walked all the way, except for the corpses of the demon thieves who have just been beheaded, the corpses of the Eastern Army are all on the ground.

Seeing Qi Rongxun return, the chaotic Eastern Army soldiers finally cheered up slightly, and these soldiers hurriedly made way out of the place where they were already crowded and couldn't move their arms to let Lan Ziyi and them squeeze in.

Not long after Lan Ziyi squeezed into the military formation, he saw Zhang Yanwu waving the remaining arm in front of him, and shouted hoarsely:

"Withdraw the shotgunners, and the swordsmen are pushed forward.

You! Throw the lance away! With a waist knife! β€œ

But the officers and men of the Eastern Army turned a deaf ear to this, completely ignoring what Zhang Yanwu was shouting.

After Qi Rongxun joined the army, he immediately threw himself into command, and the soldiers were finally moved under Qi Rongxun's orders, and the irony was that Qi Rongxun's orders were the same as Zhang Yanwu's, but the people who gave the orders were different.

Seeing Lan Ziyi and Qi Rongxun coming back, Zhang Yanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief, he squeezed through the crowd with great difficulty, and scolded Qi Rongxun:

"What's the use of you being brave alone? You don't care about your own people? Without you, the bear soldiers didn't listen to anyone's orders, and they fought for the demon thieves to cut down. When we were first besieged, we were still a bun, but now we have become a nest head, and we have already died in a circle of people after a while! ”
