Chapter 71: Leave No One Behind
Thanks to the (scarecrow) reward, today's three watches, the first one is presented!
The three horsemen rushed over, and the small stones, the thin dogs, and a dozen unity soldiers had already rushed over.
"Thorn!" Xiao Shishi, who had already been the leader of the little half-moon gang, roared, and when they were still ten steps away from the Goguryeo warriors, they had already stopped and lined up in three neat columns, advancing like a wall.
At a distance of ten paces, the spears of the Unity Soldiers could not pierce the Goguryeo warriors. However, the united soldiers did not stand still, after the first row stabbed out, the second row began to move forward and then stabbed again, and then the back row advanced to the front stab, and so on, and continued to stab forward. The Goguryeo warriors had no armor or long soldiers, and only had a ring-headed sword in their hands.
In terms of actual combat experience, or in terms of personal combat effectiveness, except for Lin Wei, Li Jing, Wang Zhong and other officers, any of the others on Li Jing's side are inferior to those warriors who drink blood with swords all year round. In the event of a scuffle, a Goguryeo warrior would definitely be able to single-handedly take on three united soldiers. But there were three guerrillas on horseback by Li Jing, forcing them not to disperse, and now the united soldiers are advancing in rows, seeing that rows of sharp spearheads are constantly approaching, but they have nothing to do.
Feng Liang carried the ring-headed knife like a mad bull, and shouted: "Kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, uncle, let's fight with them!" Feng Yanqing grabbed Feng Liang: "When is it, I still just care about working hard, go, run separately, and run away one by one." Stay here, don't even think about living. ”
Feng Yanqing had already estimated the outcome of this battle in his heart, nine had died on their side, and two were seriously injured and two were lightly injured. After getting rid of the two seriously injured and incapacitated, now even him, there are only thirteen people on their side, one of them is an old coachman, and the other is him, a civilian official who has little combat effectiveness. On the other hand, there were nearly thirty people, not only iron-armored spears, but also war horses.
Fighting like his nephew Feng Liang, except for being able to pull a few pads on his back, there is no point at all. Instead of waiting for death, it is better to run now, run separately, the other party only has three horses, maybe you can run a few.
After speaking, Feng Yanqing didn't care about Feng Liang anymore, and only took the high car and ran to the river. When the others saw this, they also scattered in a flock. These Goguryeo warriors used to be hired to fight and eat, and not only could they fight, but they also ran quickly. Once you decide to run away, there is no hesitation in the moment. Feng Liang hesitated, his side had already run out, and there were only two seriously injured people left who couldn't move.
Feng Liang glanced left and right a few times, and ran in the direction of Penglai City.
Li Jing and the three of them had already turned around at this time, and they were relieved to see that the uncle and nephew of the Feng family did not have the heart to fight to the death. In this ambush, Li Jing's goal was to kill Feng Liang's uncle and nephew. But the twenty Goguryeo warrior guards of the Feng family were an accident, and Li Jing brought nearly forty people, but he was never willing to fight with these guards in the last place. These more than 30 people, either brothers or fellow villagers, each of them is his most reliable strength now, and he is absolutely unwilling to damage this. And once someone dies in battle, it is possible to cover up one or two deaths. In case there are too many deaths, how can I go back to the camp and confess? At that time, even if no one knew about his killing of Feng Yanqing, but his subordinates suddenly disappeared so much, they would definitely not be able to eat and walk around.
He asked Lin Wu to hide with ten people who knew equestrianism at the beginning, and he never let them come out except for the initial archery ambush. The first is to let them be used as reserves, and they will be invested when it is critical. The second is to keep them strong and chase the escapees when they are critical. But there is also the biggest reason that Li Jing doesn't want to show all his strength to Feng Liang's uncle and nephew at once. If Li Jing's strength on their side was all pulled out at once, if Feng Yanqing saw that Li Jing and the others still had fourteen knights, then Feng Yanqing would see that there was no hope, and maybe he would fight with Li Jing to the death.
A group of Goguryeo warriors with the intention of dying, this damage must be absolutely great. At that time, there will definitely be casualties on Li Jing's side.
There are clouds in the war book, and the siege of the city will be que. The purpose is to deliberately create the illusion that there is still a glimmer of hope for them, so as to break their hearts to fight to the death. The current results prove that Li Jing's original idea was right. Feng Yanqing was not willing to fight to the death at all, even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he was willing to give it a try, rather than fighting to the death with Li Jing and pulling one or two pads on his back. For Feng Yanqing, if he dies, even if he pulls more people on his back, what is the point of half a point? It only makes sense to be alive, even if everyone dies because of it, as long as he is alive.
"It's time to close the net!" Li Jing smiled and said to Lin Wei: "Tell the second brother to take his brother on horseback to intercept!" Don't let any of them go, kill them all! ”
A group of Goguryeo warriors who had dispersed, Li Jing was no longer worried. As soon as Lin Wu's cavalry came out, no matter how fast he ran, he couldn't outrun the four-legged ones.
"Remember to let them be in a small team of three, although it is important to intercept and kill, it is even more important to protect yourself." Li Jing added another sentence temporarily, and now, he doesn't want to have casualties in the future.
Including Li Jing, there were a total of fourteen horsemen, and they were divided into five or six teams at the moment, and the horses' hooves flew in all directions. And the small stones, the spear infantrymen, also remained together, chasing behind.
In the wilderness, there was a scream from time to time, which was the cry of the Goguryeo warrior who was caught up by the cavalry before he died. The Goguryeo warriors are indeed very strong, but at the moment, these warriors who only carry a ring-headed sword and do not even have a piece of light armor can only be besieged and killed by a single team of three horsemen.
Although most of the unity soldiers have no experience in battle formations, the foundation of the unity soldiers is also very good, not to mention that they are all fully armed today, and the iron armor spear, even if they are attacked occasionally, they are basically blocked by the iron armor.
Three-person squad, this is the only tactic that Zuo Yidu has taught during training. It's simple, but it's practical. Two fists are hard to beat four hands, when three people in a small team, they attack and defend in one, not only have higher attack power, but also can cover each other.
The screams of one Goguryeo warrior after another chilled the hearts of those who fled. Another scream came, but a warrior who had fled to the river was struck by Wang Chong, breaking his thigh bone, and lying on the ground wailing. Wang Chong didn't pay attention to the man anymore, and he didn't care about his life or death and went directly to the next target. Xiao Shi and the others arrived from behind, and several spears arrived in unison, and immediately stabbed the samurai into a hornet's nest.
The dying screams of the Goguryeo warriors and the galloping sound of horses' hooves had gradually stopped, and Li Jing sat on his horse, looking at the wilderness decorated with moonlight and blood tonight, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy. This was a killing initiated by him, and if he really wanted to kill Feng Liang's uncle and nephew, he had to kill the twenty warriors and two coachmen tonight.
In this wilderness, in addition to the people and horses on Li Jing's side, only Feng Liang, Feng Yanqing and Gao Che were left.
Although Feng Liang's uncle and nephew ran separately, they were still driven together after the last day. At the moment, the three of them were surrounded in a small circle like a loving beast, back to back, their eyes full of despair and sadness.
On one side were the twenty spears of the infantry of the small stones, and on the other side were fourteen knights lined up. was able to get together so many horses, thanks to Feng Liang's boldness. Li Jing originally had a horse given by the old village chief, but later Feng Liang gave him one to buy military merits, and then he took Feng Liang's horse from the last competition. Feng Liang lost 20,000 horses of silk to the county lord, so he was bold, and the ten carriages and twenty horses of the silk were also nearby.
The county lord gave Li Jing 10,000 pieces of silk, and even the five carriages and ten horses with Nala silk were also given to Li Jing. Li Jing had thirteen horses at once, and Wang Chong originally had one, so he had exactly fourteen horses. Although except for Li Jing, the four of them were war horses, and the others were just pulling horses, but at this time, there were more than a dozen horses lined up, and the momentum was still overwhelming.
Gao Che looked around and saw that the wilderness was silent, and Li Jing and the others' horses and spears were full of undried blood, and they had already understood the result of their brothers. His eyes were red, and he howled like a wounded wolf, and pounced on Li Jing with his knife. Without waiting for Li Jing to make a move, the Lin Wei and Lin Wu brothers almost simultaneously took out the lance, one on the left and one on the right, and the two long lances stabbed out like a spirit snake. The high car blocked left and right, and used all his strength to swing the two guns, and was about to take Li Jing directly. Wang Chong's wolf teeth were smashed by the strong wind from the oblique thorn, and the high car could no longer be blocked, and was smashed into the chest, and a crisp sound of broken sternum sounded. Gao Che spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell back like a broken kite. His face was full of unwillingness, and he stretched out his fingers trembling, as if he wanted to accuse Li Jing of not having the demeanor of a general, so as to bully more and less. Only halfway through his fingers, his eyes had dimmed and lost their brilliance, and this warrior who had traversed countless battlefields was finally killed in a silent wilderness.
"Li Jing, you won't end well if you kill us!" Feng Yanqing's face was defeated, and now he also knows that he will never have a way to live. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he still couldn't help but threaten with inwardness.
Li Jing smiled at Feng Yanqing with contempt, "Cut off their heads!" ”
