Chapter 859: Raid
Wei Dakui didn't say anything more, and immediately passed down the order. Gather all the remaining crossbow arrows and equip three hundred cavalrymen. Defending the city, the 300 cavalry had no room to play, and only followed the shooting arrows and smashed stones, and used them as ordinary soldiers. At this moment, I finally have the opportunity to attack, but I am really looking forward to and apprehensive to take such a huge risk.
A moment later, three hundred horsemen were ready to set out behind the city gates. The gates opened gently, the drawbridge was lowered, and the three hundred horsemen went out of the gate at a very slow pace. Lin Jue waved his hand under the city, the drawbridge was quickly pulled up, and the city gate was quickly closed.
On the wall of the eastern city, the defenders at the head of the city first felt incredible, but they were soon inspired by Lord Lin's spirit of not being afraid of death. They stood at the top of the city and stared at the camp of the bandits below, paying close attention to what appeared to be a suicide.
Under the cover of mist, more than 300 cavalry slowly approached and approached the enemy camp on the ground in a mess.
All the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city held their breath and did not dare to make any noise. The sound of fear alarmed the bandits in the camp below. Finally, Lin Jue led more than 300 horsemen to the slope, and their backs were blurry and could not be seen clearly. The crowd could only stretch their necks and listen intently for the movement, waiting for the cries of the attack.
Lin Juece stood on the slope, and below the slope was the camp where the bandits gathered. Although he couldn't see the situation in the camp clearly, Lin Jue saw countless bonfires flickering in the mist, and he could smell the aroma of rice at the tip of his nose. Lin Jue suddenly understood. It turned out that the other party withdrew to eat and drink to his heart's content, and then take the city in one fell swoop. They were so comfortable that they didn't think they would be attacked. There was not even a sentry on the slope.
Lin Jue showed a sneer on his face, stood on his horse, and slowly raised his right hand.
There was no shouting, no heart-rending roar, Lin Jue's palm only waved lightly in the air. The next moment, more than 300 cavalry began to urge the horses to gallop down. Like a lion lurking in the grass, it will never make a sound until its prey is spotted. Only silently pounced on it.
The cavalry galloped down the slope, getting faster and faster. The sound of horses' hooves shattered the silence before dawn. In order to facilitate the attack, the bandits also spent special efforts to fill in the potholes on the slope and rest. Little did they know that the flat ramp they had built leading to the camp was just what the cavalry were galloping all in. When the bandits heard the sound of horses' hooves and were looking around in astonishment, three hundred cavalry broke through the fog and came to them.
Nests of bandits were sitting on the ground. The continuous attacks exhausted them. Seeing that several rounds of attacks were fruitless, and each time he was only a little short of capturing the city wall, Meng Xiang was frustrated, but he also saw the dawn of victory. He decided to give everyone a full meal and a little rest. After dawn, launch a deadly all-out onslaught. He believes that this time he will be able to make a difference.
So the bandits sat around on the ground, built a stove of earth, and made a fire to make food. They didn't even send out sentries to monitor the movements. On the one hand, they don't have this common sense, and on the other hand, because they don't think that the other party will come out of the city and attack the camp. How dare the other party do this unless they are crazy. Therefore, when the cavalry in the fog appeared, most of the bandits stood in place with shocked faces, not even knowing what was happening.
"Buzz Buzz Buzz!"
"Puff puff!"
The sound of the crossbow bolts resounded in the air, like the muffled sound of a poisonous bee flapping its wings, and the mere sound made people shudder. The rain of arrows rained down on the bandits gathered in a nest, making a popping sound that pierced through the flesh. As the horses' hooves stepped over the embers of the flames and kicked up clouds of dirt and dust, they were flanked and behind them by the figures of the screaming bandits.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Frightened, the voice changed in the air of dawn. When all the bandits heard this, they hurriedly got up and hurriedly went to find the blades. The leaders shouted for their men to assemble. Many people held weapons in their hands, but they did not know where the enemy was, and looked around blankly.
"Kill!" Lin Jue finally let out a cry. He and Bai Bing rushed to the front, and beside him were fifty cavalrymen with long knives. Their task was to fight their way through the passage and ensure the smooth charge of the cavalry in the rear. Bai Bing had already drawn out the flute sword, and in the flickering cold light, the blood of the bandit in front of the horse's head was splashed. Lin Jue followed Bai Bing's side with a long knife in his hand, he didn't use the Wang Ba box on his waist, he didn't want to expose his capital, just following Bai Bing's side was enough to ensure his own safety, and he could also use the horse's rapid charge to blade the enemy. The more than 200 cavalrymen behind him could only shoot with crossbow arrows. This 300-man cavalry team cooperated tacitly, like an incomparably sharp blade, cutting into the camp of the bandits without hindrance. From west to east, straight into it.
On the side of the camp, Meng Xiang was discussing with several altar masters and sect servants how to attack next, and they agreed to prepare some rattan armor to resist falling rocks and bows and arrows. There was also a branch of the altar master who proposed to cut some firewood and grass, and piled it up at the gate of the city during the onslaught to burn the city gate. Meng Xiang felt that these suggestions were good.
But the sudden sound of the camp siren interrupted their conversation. Meng Xiang grabbed the long knife and rushed over with the people, and they saw the crossbow arrows flying by, and the sect members fell like mowing grass. Stunned.
"What's going on?" Meng Xiang grabbed a sect member who had fled from his side in a hurry and shouted.
"A lot of cavalry, a lot of cavalry. Run. The congregation shouted.
"Fuck you, where are so many cavalry? Bewitch the hearts of the army, damn it! Meng Xiang stabbed him, but he also beat the drum in his heart. The appearance of cavalry was something he didn't expect, could it be that reinforcements arrived? But soon, news from the front denied this terrifying speculation.
"Meng Shoujiao, about hundreds of horsemen rushed into our camp. I am slashing and slashing everywhere. Our congregation suffered heavy casualties. A servant came from the front to report.
"Only a few hundred rides? It wasn't reinforcements, it was the soldiers and horses in the city. Grass his grandmother's, treat us as inappropriate. More than a few hundred horsemen dared to rush to the camp. Send a signal, encircle and annihilate. Meng Xiang scolded and shouted.
Fluffy! Fireworks burst into the air. The people who were originally unaware of the situation immediately began to organize when they saw the signal. Countless sect members began to surround the middle, and more than 2,000 sect members on the east side blocked up head-on. In the rear, Meng Xiang led two thousand elites to the end. Their intention was obvious, to block the three hundred cavalry in the crowd and encircle and annihilate them.
The momentum of the cavalry charge is unstoppable, and the speed and maneuver and impact are the three magic weapons that the cavalry is higher than the ordinary troops. It is said that the cavalry is like a bamboo, and it is in the situation of charging into battle and whistling back and forth. Once you get entangled and can't play to your advantage, then you're in big trouble. There were many ways to deal with cavalry, digging pits, tripping horses, rejecting horses, spears, bows and arrows, fortification walls, and so on. It's all about
Makes it impossible for cavalry to take advantage of speed and impact. Or counteract the power of their charge, killing them before they get close to their own formation. But all these methods, the bandits did not have the ability to use, so they used the most primitive method, that is, to entangle the cavalry with a sea of people. Drag down the speed of the cavalry with several times more than its number, so that the ants gnaw the elephants and gnaw the opponent alive.
This is the stupidest way, but at this moment, it is also the only way and the feasible way. Bandits from all directions swarmed in, and although the three hundred cavalry shot countless people along the way, they were gradually surrounded by them after all. Lin Jue, Bai Bing, and fifty cavalrymen, who were opening the way ahead, had already felt the pressure. There are more and more enemies in front of the horse's head, and they have to swing their knives and slash and kill the bloody path, but the speed of clearing is far from enough. The whole team had to slow down. And more black-pressed bandits in front of them were shouting and rushing. Arrows, stones, pikes and other throwing and killing objects around are already whizzing in the ears.
"Husband, it's not a way to go on like this, you have to be dragged back by them. Drag it out and it's over. Bai Bing saw that the situation was not good, and when he spoke, the green flute blade in his hand did not stop. In a flash of cold light, a bandit made a statement.
Lin Jue frowned and watched the situation, he also knew that being dragged down would definitely not end well. His goal was not to engage in a fierce battle with the enemy, but to rush through without lingering.
"Turn left and head northeast. There is the weakest. Lin Jue shouted.
"Yes!" The dozens of horsemen who rushed forward shouted in unison, and the cavalry team made a big turn, shook off them before the thousands of bandits in front of them blocked up, and rushed out in the northeast direction.
"The order, Li Yunqing's altar master immediately led people to block it, and he was not allowed to let one go. Otherwise, I will call him to Hades. Seeing this, Meng Xiang shouted loudly.
Rumble! A green firework soared into the air, and it was an order specially issued to the sect members led by Li Yunqing of the Yincheng Branch. Li Yunqing had offended Meng Xiang because of his words before, and was sent to lead the first batch of troops to attack the city. The members of the Sect under his command suffered heavy casualties. In order to appease him, Meng Xiang asked him to take the soldiers and horses to the northeast of the flank to rest. The previous wheel siege battle didn't let him lead people to attack the city, because Li Yunqing only had less than 1,300 sect members left. Meng Xiang didn't want Li Yunqing to be dissatisfied. But at this moment, the other party was rushing out in the northeast direction, so Li Yunqing had to drag them down.
The fireworks rose up, and Li Yunqing immediately ordered his subordinates to set up a formation to meet them. Li Yunqing is a brain, so he will not be stupid enough to let his subordinates rush forward against the horse's head. He knew that cavalry was not easy to mess with. On that day, when he was in Songgang, Li Yunqing waited patiently for the opportunity to annihilate all the 500 forbidden troops. After that war, Li Yunqing became famous among the Youth Sect. Although he was the altar master of the Yincheng Branch, he was already the protector of the Heavenly Dragon, and he was the top ten Heavenly Dragon Protector. Of course, in front of Meng Xiang, he was nothing. Meng Xiang is Hai Dongqing's confidant, and he can't afford to mess with him.
"Knock down the cart as a barrier, the archers are ready to release their arrows, and the rest of the men will throw stones and clubs as much as they can, and smash as much as they can. Elder Xu, you immediately drag the thorns we cut down when we set up camp before. Just spread it in front. Li Yunqing gave an order in a loud voice.
Large trucks were overturned to the ground, all of which had been pushed by the army to carry food supplies. At the moment, it is the best barrier. And it doesn't take a lot of effort. The servant Xu Lao took dozens of people to bring large bundles of felled and discarded thorns and piled them up on the ground. After all this, the three hundred cavalry of the forbidden army had already galloped forward.
