In the panic of horses' hooves, countless "cattle and sheep" were fleeing north. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIf you stand in the sky and look down at this time and roughly count the number of these "cattle and sheep", there must be about 20,000 or 30,000.

In fact, in the era of cold weapon warfare, the proportion of people who will actually die on the battlefield is often not large. And large-scale deaths are generally massacres after the war, like the Battle of Changping in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many people really died in the decisive battle? And the 400,000 Zhao soldiers were killed by Bai Qi after the decisive battle; More recently, such as the Battle of Guandu, it is said that Lao Cao killed 70,000 or 80,000 people, but in fact, he was also a prisoner after the decisive battle of Guandu.

Don't go too far, anyway, in the decisive battle under Jinzhou City, the number of enemy troops killed by Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong on the battlefield is actually relatively limited, so to be precise, the three-clan alliance army under Jinzhou City has a big rout and escape.

As a cavalryman, it is naturally more convenient to escape, and for nomadic cavalry, it can almost be said that they have a "professional specialty" to slip away when they see a bad momentum. On the other hand, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong's forces were not advantageous in the first place, so if the three clans alliance army under Jinzhou City really wanted to run, Lu Lingqi and Chen Gong alone could not take them...... This is also one of the main reasons why Chen Gong will put the main enemy annihilation target on the side of Chrysanthemum Harbor.

In short, about 30,000 troops of the three ethnic groups fled from Jinzhou City in panic. At this time, it was only right for them to flee back to the northern desert plains as soon as possible. But halfway through the run, they suddenly found a force of several thousand men to the east of them.

30,000 against thousands, it is said that there is an advantage in troops, but at this time, the alliance of the three clans is in a state of rout, and they also know that the pursuers of Jinzhou City are behind them, who else will think about engaging in battle? So they didn't care about this force of thousands of people, adjusted the direction a little, and continued to flee north.

This army of thousands of people was actually a force from the side of Xisai Mountain, and the general was Lao Huang Zhong. And the purpose of Huang Zhong's appearance here was not to intercept the defeated army, but to drive the defeated army in the direction where Ganning had set up an ambush. Of course, if conditions permit, Huang Zhong doesn't mind making a little bit of a war and earning a little military merit, otherwise squatting in Liaodong like this is really a bit boring for Huang Zhong.

As a result, the 30,000 rout army was driven by Lu Lingqi's pursuers and Huang Zhong's troops to the place where Gan Ning and Tian Chou's ambush were located. Originally, for these routed troops, as long as they rushed through this area, they could enter the northern desert plain region, but when their front team ran to a certain place, they immediately looked confused, because what they saw were patches of antlers and horse rejection stakes.

It has actually been a few days since Gan Ning and Tian Chou arrived in this area, and this kind of thing will naturally not be less prepared. And this is only something that can be seen on the surface, in fact, in front of the antlers and the horse rejection pile, there is a large area of horse traps dug by Gan Ning and Tian Chou at night. Even the soldiers of Gan Ning and Tian Chou did not meet the enemy by "forming a formation", but dug trenches one after another, and many soldiers hid in the trenches to meet the enemy.

In a word, time permitting, there is such a figure as Tian Chou who knows the northern alien races quite well, and the preparations they make for engagement are all aimed at the tactical characteristics of the nomadic cavalry. Horse pits, antlers, horse stakes, trenches, these are all things that can make the horses of the nomadic cavalry step down the strength of the horses.

On the other hand, Gan Ning will use trench tactics because he and the troops led by Tian Chou have the advantage of medium and long-range attacks...... Needless to say, Gan Ning's soldiers were given to Gan Ning's three thousand musketeers, but Gan Ning brought them all out this time, and the rest of the people had a crossbow in their hands, which was standard; Tian Chou has cooperated with Lu Ren for a long time, and although the musket was not distributed for some reason, the crossbow is absolutely indispensable.

As rows of routed soldiers fell into the trap in front, the battle between Gan Ning and Tian Chou here officially began. The obstacle area formed by the trap and antlers is about 30 meters thick, which effectively blocks the forward momentum of the coalition cavalry, and the horizontal shooting of 3,000 musketeers and countless crossbow arrows are harvesting the lives of the coalition cavalry every minute and every second.

U-turn? It's too late! Because Lu Lingqi's tens of thousands of pursuing troops and Huang Zhong's encirclement troops followed one after another, the rout of the coalition army had actually formed a three-way encirclement situation at this time.

Compared with the infantry corps of Huang Zhong's army, which was mainly composed of 2,000 musketeers and crossbows, the pursuit corps led by Lu Lingqi was full of cavalry. After arriving at the battlefield, Lu Lingqi did not rush into battle, but commanded her troops to complete the encirclement with Huang Zhong's troops who arrived later. Looking at the situation again, it was almost the same, and Lu Lingqi pointed out her three thousand elite horsemen and shouted to them:

"Sons, would you like to rush in with me and play a few laps?"

Don't think that Lu Lingqi is holding the university. In fact, the strength of Gan Ning and Tian Chou's troops was only about 8,000, and the men and horses brought by Huang Zhong were only more than 5,000, and then counting Lu Lingqi's 10,000 horses, the total strength was only 24,500, which was still a slight disadvantage compared to the 30,000 or so defeated troops of the three clans.

In addition, it is necessary to understand that Lu Lingqi and they are fighting an encirclement and annihilation battle, and in the absence of an obvious advantage in their own troops, after completing the encirclement, all parts of the encirclement are a little thinner. If they were relieved by the rout of the coalition forces and adopted the tactics of concentrating their forces to attack a little, the encirclement laid by Lu Lingqi and them would be easily broken through by the rout of the coalition forces. Therefore, the purpose of Lu Lingqi's preparation to lead people to rush in now is not to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, let alone to play, but to further disrupt and disperse the rout of the coalition army, so that they cannot concentrate on breaking through.

The vast majority of the three thousand elite horsemen are northerners, so they all have the hot-blooded and straightforward heart of the northern men. At this moment, after listening to Lu Lingqi's shouting, everyone glanced at each other, and then responded in unison: "I am willing to follow the general to destroy the enemy!" ”

Lu Lingqi nodded, first looked at the rout of the coalition army on the battlefield, and then leaned down a little to look at the war horse that was spewing thick white gas in her nose, suddenly smiled faintly, and gently patted the neck of the war horse and said, "Xiaobai, are you very tired?" Hold on a little longer, and when you go back after this battle, I will add ten catties of good soybeans to you every day......"

The war horse shook his nose, and he didn't know if he understood Lu Lingqi's words. But the horse's hooves were pounding heavily on the ground, apparently ready to sprint.

Lu Lingqi stroked the back of the horse's neck a few more times, took a deep breath, and suddenly threw a few things on the saddle that were now redundant to the ground. Then, with a tightening of his legs, he instigated his horse to charge towards the enemy. The three thousand Yizhou elite cavalry were also the same as Lu Lingqi, and all the excess things were thrown to the ground, and Lu Lingqi rushed towards the enemy.

At this time, the distance between the two sides was actually very close, and Lu Lingqi and they were all sprinting fast horses, so in an instant, Lu Lingqi led the crowd to break into the enemy's formation. is just this fierce impact, I really don't know how many coalition cavalry were hit by Lu Lingqi and them and fell off their horses.

Looking at Lu Lingqi and the three thousand elite horsemen at this moment, they were all red-eyed one by one, and after the collision, they were interspersed into the chaos of the coalition army, and the weapons in their hands were almost waving wildly, basically cutting as long as they saw people, and many times they didn't dodge or dodge at all.

The cavalry of the coalition army were taken aback, after all, they had just seen the lethality of the elite cavalry led by Lu Lingqi not long ago, and the image left in their minds was absolutely profound. And you must know that the rout of the coalition army is now in a state of rout after defeat, and under the influence of this, in their opinion, Lu Lingqi's gang are all menacing and red-eyed, where is this Nima here to fight? It's clear that you're here to work hard, okay?

Due to Lu Lingqi's rush, the routs of the coalition army did not dare to attack the position on Ganning's side for the time being. The reason is very simple, Gan Ning's side is not easy to rush, and now that Lu Lingqi has killed it again, how dare they leave their backs to Lu Lingqi to stab? So they had to deal with Lu Lingqi's cavalry first.

However, although Lu Lingqi has the upper hand, Lu Lingqi also has her own troubles. You must know that from the beginning of the Battle of Jinzhou to the present, Lu Lingqi and her three thousand elite horsemen have almost always been at the forefront of the battle, and their physical strength has been extremely consumed. Although there was a short rest when the troops were divided in Jinzhou in the middle, and the three thousand elite horsemen all changed horses, how much of everyone's physical strength could recover with just such a little rest?

Don't say anything about the stupid words that the physical strength of the coalition rout is also very fierce, almost all of the people who are really consumed have died under the city of Jinzhou, and most of the 30,000 rout soldiers here are the masters who pulled out their horses and slipped away when they saw that the momentum was wrong when the decisive battle started, and there were not many forces that really participated in the battle under the city of Jinzhou. Since they haven't fought any battles, how much physical strength can they consume?

It's just that even so, Lu Lingqi also knows that this formation must be rushed. If you don't rush and let the other party go, it will be troublesome if the other party really eases up.

But seeing where the halberd in Lu Lingqi's hand passed, it would always bring up puffs of blood mist. After a while, no one even dared to stand in front of Lu Lingqi!

Fighting, Lu Lingqi also felt that her strength was somewhat unable to keep up. After fighting for a while, Lu Lingqi suddenly realized that a certain banner in the rout of the coalition army was more than a hundred steps in front of her.

"Capture the thief and capture the king first!!"

This thought flashed in Lu Lingqi's heart, and she immediately urged her to step off the war horse with all her strength, brandishing her halberd and rushing towards this unlucky guy.

When the coalition generals saw this, they were shocked. Speaking of which, this guy is still a bit of a brain, as early as when the coalition army was in a rout under Jinzhou City, this guy thought of a lot...... The first is, of course, to run for your life, which does not need to be explained. In addition to fleeing for his life, this guy also thought that if he escaped back to the desert plains in the north this time, many of the tribes whose leaders died in Jinzhou would lose their leaders, and if he could rely on something to make a name for himself in this rout, then he would be very likely to be elected as the leader by many tribes after he returned.

To put it simply, he just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to make some money, so he raised a banner in the rout of the army to win over others. And people, there is a "head sheep effect", in the panic of the rout, when someone shows the flag, they will naturally move closer to the past. In modern parlance, this is "found organization". So while running all the way, I was really gathered by that guy a lot of people. Of course, it's just a convenient escape with him who is in the lead, and it's a lot worse to really say that fighting together.

This person is not stupid, he knows that his current combat strength is not good, and in the previous battle of Jinzhou, this guy once saw with his own eyes how Lu Lingqi and the three thousand elite horsemen fought for their lives. Secretly asked himself, he didn't have the courage to fight Lu Lingqi at all. At this moment, seeing that Lu Lingqi found himself and rushed over, this guy yelled "not good", and then turned the horse's head and ran.

"The thief will leave!!"

Lu Lingqi scolded and chased after this Liaodong general with all her might. In the roar of anger, several coalition cavalry had been swept off the horse by Lu Lingqi at the beginning of Lu Lingqi's halberd, and Lu Lingqi herself was rushing towards that guy. Seeing that the situation was not good, the guy used his cavalry to block Lu Lingqi, and hurriedly turned his horse head and fled. To be honest, this guy doesn't have the courage to fight Lu Lingqi at the moment.

When Lu Lingqi saw this, where would she let go of this unlucky guy? The strength of the side is not dominant, and the battle has been fought to this point, that guy is a backbone in the eyes of many coalition routs at this time, as long as this guy is taken, it will naturally make the coalition rout that has just been a little condensed collapse again, then the next annihilation war will be much easier to fight. Therefore, Lu Lingqi didn't think much about it, locked her eyes on the main general of Liaodong, and instigated to step down the war horse and chase after her.

Looking at that guy again, he didn't dare to slack off, and urged the war horse to run away as hard as he could. Just run away, this guy is obviously not such a stupid person. His flight was not a random run, but a flight where he saw a lot of rebels. His intention is very clear, that is, to use his own soldiers to block Lu Lingqi.

After running and chasing for a while, Lu Lingqi didn't remember how many coalition cavalry she had knocked off her horse, the only thing she knew was that the distance between herself and that guy was gradually getting farther away. After taking a short time to glance behind him, he suddenly realized that there were not many people who came up from his horse, mainly because the escape route chosen by that guy was too obscene, so that the elite cavalry behind Lu Lingqi would be stopped by the coalition soldiers anytime and anywhere. In this case, if you don't solve that guy as soon as possible, there is a high chance that even you will be stopped.

All of a sudden, Lu Lingqi was in a hurry, and desperately instigated to step down the war horse and wanted to speed up a little faster to catch up, but the war horse Xiaobai she stepped on really couldn't go any faster. It's not that Lu Lingqi's horse can't do it, and it's not that Lu Lingqi didn't change horses when she divided the troops, but that Lu Lingqi's elite horse is a bit high in terms of equipment weight. Seriously, if there were no advantages in these equipment, Lu Lingqi's elite cavalry would not have taken so much advantage when it encountered the nomadic cavalry.

Lu Lingqi glanced sideways a little at the war horse in the chase, and saw that the wheezing of the war horse Xiaobai was extremely heavy, but he was still galloping to catch up, knowing that the war horse Xiaobai was also almost at the limit, he sighed apologetically in his heart, and the reined left hand took a break from his busy schedule and came back and stroked the side of the war horse Xiaobai's neck a few times: "I'm sorry, Xiaobai, I forgot that you are more tired than me......"

Suddenly, Lu Lingqi put the reins of the horse in her left hand back into her mouth and then bit it tightly, but her free left hand reached out to the battle armor buckle between her right shoulder guard and right waist. After a few pulls away, the battle armor on Lu Lingqi's body clicked back and forth, and Lu Lingqi shook it again, and the battle armor on her upper body left Lu Lingqi's body, and by the way, she also smashed a coalition cavalry next to her off the horse.

Lu Lingqi's fine cavalry armor is a bit close to the knight's plate armor in medieval Europe, and of course there are many improvements. Like the armor on Lu Lingqi's body, the way of wearing it is not the drape of the Han Dynasty armor, but the side-opening type like a book. The carapace, which is about two centimeters thick, can provide a very effective defense on the battlefield, and at the same time makes the elite cavalry close to the heavy cavalry. And when necessary, as long as the two circlips on the right shoulder and right waist are removed, the entire armor can be removed directly from the left side of the body, and the heavy cavalry can immediately become light cavalry.

How much does a steel armor about two centimeters thick weigh? With Lu Lingqi's height of more than 1.7 meters, her cavalry armor must weigh more than 30 pounds, to say the least. This is still the result of Lu Ren and Shirley sorting out many smelting processes, otherwise according to the normal smelting results of the Han Dynasty, Lu Lingqi's battle armor would not be able to say that it is not fifty or sixty catties.

At this moment, the weight of more than 30 catties suddenly left her body, and Lu Lingqi felt lighter on her body, and Xiaobai, the war horse she stepped on, also felt a lot lighter on her back. As soon as this heavy burden was gone, the war horse Xiaobai suddenly neighed, and his speed accelerated a lot, and he chased after the main general of Liaodong.

The guy glanced back in the rush of running, and just happened to see this scene, and immediately cold sweat broke out on his back. In a panic, he beat the horse hard, and at the same time ordered the coalition cavalry on the side to hurry up and block Lu Lingqi.

As soon as the burden on Lu Lingqi's body was gone, the momentum of the halberd was much more ruthless, and several coalition cavalry were overturned in a few clicks, and at this time he was less than twenty steps away from that guy. The guy looked at the surrounding situation, knowing that he would probably not be able to escape if he escaped like this, he bit his heart and crossed his teeth, and took advantage of the moment when Lu Lingqi was wielding a halberd to kill a certain coalition cavalry blocking the way, he quickly took out the short bow and feather arrows on the saddle, and shot at Lu Lingqi before the string was full.

The string is not full, and the arrow is bound to be insufficient, so this was originally an arrow that was intended to be shot at Lu Lingqi, and the head was much lower, but it happened to shoot at the root of Lu Lingqi's front leg when he stepped off the war horse Xiaobai.

Fortunately, Lu Lingqi's war horse also has the corresponding armor protection, so this arrow did not hurt the war horse Xiaobai, but it still had some impact. If you want to change it at another time, this impact doesn't matter, at most, it will make the movement of the war horse Xiaobaimai's legs slightly sluggish for a moment. But the problem now is that Xiaobai's strength is about to run out, and in this stagnation, Xiaobai's legs are a little unable to step out due to lack of strength, so the result is that the horse stumbles forward and falls, and Lu Lingqi also falls forward unguarded......
