The three of them are all experienced warriors, and they immediately watched it for a long time, and they have estimated the number of thieves in front of them to be ten times. шщш.(vii) (ix) x.S.сом The update is so fast. However, since the Flying Leopard Wang Mi himself is here, it clearly represents that the Central Plains Bandits have responded to the internal 'strife' of the Youji Alliance, and the forces that are about to be exerted on the Wating battlefield are not only this, but half of the strength of the Central Plains Bandits! The pressure that Mak Zeming's department will be under can be imagined.

Lin Yi and the others had no intention of delaying, so they turned their horses and left. However, after a few steps, the enemy brigade in the distance divided into several horses, led by a knight in brocade robes and costumes, and shouted for them to stop.

"Maybe they're using us as scouts to return?"

"Are you really stupid for all thieves? Don't leave it to chance! Lin Yi rode his horse a few steps forward, and without hesitation, he opened his bow and arrow, and 'shot' the brocade-robed knight under the horse, and then turned the horse's head and rushed towards the depths of the reed beach.

This move immediately caused an uproar among the thieves. More than a dozen gongs distributed in front and back of the queue sounded at the same time, and the black-pressed thief cavalry exploded like a swarm of alarmed bees in an instant.

The distance between the men and horses is still far away, and the arrows that cover the sky and the sun have already 'shot' like locusts. Lin Yi tried his best to bow down on the horse's back and resign himself to fate, only to hear the arrow hitting the reed pole, making a crackling sound like raindrops, and suddenly his scalp sank, and a heavy arrow cut off his hair bun and even a large piece of skin 'flesh'. Looking ahead, Wang Gang was turning his horse and hurrying away, when a rain of arrows fell, and the horse's 'leg' was hit by an arrow and fell down, throwing him into the muddy water.

Lin Yi stretched out his hand and dragged Wang Gang onto his horse, and shouted to Wu Zicong: "Go separately!" Go Separately! ”

The war horse rushed a few steps, and its four hooves made a huge sound of water, and then disappeared into the boundless reeds.

There were no roads in the reeds, only rolling meadows and infinite reeds taller than a man, densely covered with mud that could drown people and horses, and occasionally there were undercurrents of 'muddy' water, and the water's edges were covered with moss and slippery. No matter how good you are, you must be cautious here, or you will be doomed at any time. But at this time, Lin Yi couldn't care about it, he held the horned bow upside down, stabbed the horse again and again, and ran wildly regardless of it.

After running for a while, there was a sudden silence in his ears, and the angry shouts of the enemy horsemen as they searched back and forth, and the sound of dense horses' hooves treading water seemed to be thrown into the distance.

He looked around, countless reeds obscured his vision, Wu Zicong really went to run for his life, and at this time he didn't know where he went. Turning his head to talk to Wang Gang, he felt the smell of blood, and when he looked at it, Wang Gang was already covered with blood on his face, and a cluster of arrows came out of his mouth!

Lin Yi was shocked and hurriedly put Wang Gang down to inspect. It turned out that a stray arrow had only 'shot' from behind his cheek, shattering half of the tooth socket and more than a dozen teeth, and then leaking out from the lower 'lip'. Wang Gang could no longer speak, he could only rattle with a lotus, and his mouth full of blood, broken flesh and fallen teeth flowed out, and the tragic situation made people dare not look at it directly.

Lin Yi hurriedly cut off the shaft of the arrow, 'pulled' it out of the two sections, and tore off the lining of the robe, bandaging half of Wang Gang's head.

“***。 It is estimated that the one who 'shot' to death is the leader of the thieves, so it provokes them to be angry. How are you? Can I still ride a horse? ”

Wang Gang nodded vigorously.

"Let's go." Lin Yi helped Wang Gang on his horse and rode fast.

It still took more than half an hour to return, and on the way, I encountered the scout team of the thieves several times, and Lin Yi and Wang Gang both had more wounds on their bodies. When they joined up with the vigilant men and horses of the Youzhou Army, the two of them almost staggered, and the horses they were riding were also foaming at the mouth, and they were about to collapse to the ground at any time.

The soldiers hurriedly helped the two of them off their horses, found a dry ground for them to rest, and took dry food and water in leather bags to replenish their strength a little...... It was an excellent treat, and with the exception of a few officers, the vast majority of the non-commissioned officers soaked their turbans in the ponds and wrenched out the water to drink directly.

After a short rest, Lin Yi was taken to Mai Zeming. He hurriedly reported: "There are more than 22,000 thieves and nearly 1,000 cavalry, less than 20 miles away from here. Flying Leopard Wang Mi personally led the army. ”

“…… Good. ”

After a pause, Lin Yi asked expectantly, "Has the general ever seen Zicong?" ”

"No, I didn't." Mai Zeming shook his head, thinking about something to himself: "It's hard work, let's go." ”

Lin Yi's heart was gloomy, knowing that Wu Zicong was afraid that he would be more than lucky, and he was just about to retreat, when he suddenly heard Mai Zeming say in a low voice, "It's so fast?" ”

He hurriedly stopped.

Mai Zeming waved his hand at him: "It's okay, you can rest, there will be a fierce battle in a while." ”

With his familiar colleagues leading the way, he led Lin Yi around seven or eight bends in the continuous wetland jungle to a high slope arranged by Mai Zeming's Chinese army.

Fighting in this environment, the military horse was almost useless, so Lin Yi called the auxiliary soldiers to take the war horse away, and took off the mud-stained knight's uniform 'color', changed into a light leather armor suitable for foot combat, and then wiped the bow and the ringhead knife and other things one by one.

The sound of wading sounded not far behind him, and Lin Yi turned to look, only to see Wang Gang holding a bundle of shoddy wooden guns along the road. The bandage on his face had been loosened, and he didn't bother to clean it up again. On the wound that occupies half of his cheek, Bai Sensen's mandible and black and red blood scabs are directly exposed, which is very terrifying. When he came to Lin Yi's side, the wooden guns were almost finished, so Wang Gang stood still and stuck the remaining few by his side. The two did not speak, and after bowing their heads slightly, they waited in silence for the arrival of the enemy.

The wait seemed long and fleeting. When there is a characteristic murderous aura in the air, the battle is about to begin.

The sky was still overcast, but the fog had cleared. Standing on the high slope and looking out, you can see groups of thieves appearing on the horizon, gathering and spreading unhurriedly, and gradually becoming clear; The marching procession was like a black 'colored' python, its huge body obscuring the eastern sky, and also obscuring the light that should have arrived in the sky.

Someone sneered a few times.

There was no military order issued by the main general, and the soldiers of Youzhou held their bows and pressed their swords, standing still.

The army of thieves meandered along the road, swaying with some sluggishness as the tight queues filled all the space between the road and the swamp.

Lin Yi muttered, "It's time." ”

Before the words fell, hundreds of reeds flew out from the reeds on both sides, cutting a graceful arc in the sky. Where the arrows fell, a roar of rage rang out.

The Youzhou men who have been fighting against Zhuhu on the border for generations have really outstanding military qualities. In the Youzhou army, which has a total of only 1,000 people, there are no less than 500 people who can 'shoot' arrows with bows. Most of these 500 people participated in the surprise attack of the first 'wave', causing huge losses to the bandits.

After the initial panic, the thieves fought back extremely quickly, and more arrows were 'fired' out of the queue. They were so dense that they collided with each other in the air, making a crackling sound. The rain of arrows then swept into the reeds where the soldiers in Youzhou were hiding, and like a violent wind, a large area of reeds rose and fell. Where the arrows passed, the fragile reed poles were all broken, so that the archers of the Youzhou army were all prostrate in the mud, not daring to move.

Taking advantage of this gap, the brigade rushed into the swamp on foot. Suddenly, the water 'flowers' and the blood 'flowers' splashed together, the 'chaos' mud and 'chaos' knives flew one after another, and countless people shouted and neighed, stirring up a mess.

The archers of the Youzhou army could not resist the onslaught of the bandits, and as soon as they came into contact, they scattered and fled in all directions relying on the difficult terrain. The thieves chased after the north, unintentionally becoming more and more scattered.

At this time, Lin Yi and his companions shouted to kill and started forward.
