Chapter 879: Wolves and Rats

(Thank you for the support of I only love China, the last few hours of the month, brothers, is there a monthly pass?) )

In the dark night before dawn, between the mountains not far from the Great Wall of Chaigoubao, two armies of soldiers and horses were chasing one after the other. About 6,000 cavalry were running in front, waving two Li flags. On one side is the banner of Li Siyuan, the commander of Shatuo, the king of Yanmen County, and the envoy of Yanmen Festival, and on the other side is the banner of Li Si'an, the beloved disciple of the Qin king, who rescued Li Siyuan from the Qin army. The two armies of soldiers and horses converged together, and they were running desperately, looking indescribably anxious. Behind them, there were 20,000 Hu cavalry led by Tiemu Thorn, Ghost Chi'er, Gao Tansheng and other generals, who were also desperately chasing after them.

Two armies of soldiers and horses with torches, chasing through the mountains by the light of the stars, always at a distance. Every time Ironwood Thorn felt that he could catch up with these southern barbarians who were playing him with more force, the guys in front of him, who seemed to be unable to run at any time, immediately followed and accelerated desperately.

This is true several times, and every time.

It's always a little bit worse, just a little bit worse.

But at this point, they couldn't get closer, just like that, they chased and fled, and in the blink of an eye, they had been chasing for almost two hours.

Gao Tansheng chased for most of the day, and gradually came back to his senses, and rode his horse to the side of the ironwood spur horse and said: "We have almost chased all the way to the mouth of the Great Wall on the border of Xinzhou, poor Kou Mo chases, let's go back." ”

The Ironwood Thorn did not seem to hear him at all, and still led the Tatar cavalry straight east to chase after him. Seeing that the distance between the two sides has finally narrowed a little closer, it is still a little closer, and it is only a little bit away from catching up.

Suddenly. A shout of killing rang out. From the mountain pass in front of them, a group of ambush soldiers was killed. But it was a dark blue shiny. Everyone wore half-body armor. As soon as he saw this conspicuous navy blue half-body armor, Gao Tansheng couldn't help but change his face, he had already recognized it, this was Qin Jun. Before he defected to the Khitan, he had fought with the Qin army in Liaodong. At that time, their army was broken by this kind of cavalry wearing navy blue half-body armor. Looking at the ironwood thorn that did not retreat but advanced, roaring wildly and rushing forward with a mace, Gao Tansheng's eyes showed hesitation. After a few moments, he gritted his teeth, pulled the reins, and turned his horse's head, not advancing but retreating. Not only did he retreat, but he began to beckon his men and horses to retreat.

Gao Tansheng felt an inexplicable palpitation, maybe it was just fear, but he took it as a premonition. When he was in Liaodong, it was with this premonition that he escaped the pursuit of the Qin army several times. After that, he fled to the Khitan. Last night, it was the same hunch. He was able to quickly evacuate the camp and escape. Of course, this hunch can often be wrong, but a mistake is just a false alarm, and yes, it can let him escape. He has survived to this day because of this excessive caution.

The more he thought about it now, the more he felt that something was not quite right, with the impact of yesterday's Qin army reinforcements, they could completely work together to deal with them after rescuing Li Siyuan, or rush to kill for a while before leaving. But they didn't, they just fled all the way east. Even now that I think about it, this kind of thing that they are always separated by a little distance is full of doubts, as if they are tempting them. Moreover, what worries him the most is that this place is already too close to the territory of the Qin army, with the Great Wall in front and the territory of the Qin army in the back. Who knows if there is an ambush behind it?

Now, as expected, an ambush had jumped out from behind, which confirmed his suspicions.

The Qin army had ambushes, which means that the previous reinforcements were deliberately luring the enemy deeper. The Qin people must have a conspiracy, and they will never be short of men. This was his hunch, because Qin Jun gave him the feeling that this was the case.

The iron and wood thorns had already rushed into the enemy's formation, rushing left and right as if they were in a no-man's land, stirring up the enemy and turning him on his back.

"The Tatars are brave!" Several Goguryeo knights who were riding their horses and fleeing in the opposite direction turned their heads and said.

"yes!" Gao Tansheng replied casually, but kicked the horse's belly sharply, speeding up his escape. It was impossible for the Qin army to be so vulnerable, and the Tatars were not yet fierce enough that even the Qin army could be defeated in one fell swoop. This can only say one thing, there is a quirk here.

At this time, the shouting of killing was wrong.

The dull sound of thunder resounded in the mountains, like a storm approaching rapidly.

Immediately afterward, he heard the sound of a rapid trumpet, followed by the thunderous sound of war drums, "Sure enough, there is an ambush!" ”

Gao Tansheng kicked the war horse hard again, speeding up his westward flight. He knew that the Tatars would not return.

Where to return, in an instant, I saw a day of overwhelming dark blue cavalry emerge like the wind blowing the grassland. This time it was not just the mountain pass, but the Qin army all over the mountains. The navy blue cuirassiers, all of them, roared over.

"Damn!" Gao Tansheng gasped, his worries became a fact, those Qin cavalry had really been luring the enemy, they chased all the way for two hours, they were tired and out of breath when they ran, but they crashed headlong into someone's ambush circle. "Damn!" He couldn't help but curse again.

"Retreat!" Those stupid Tatars, let them go to their deaths, it is important to save their own lives.

Gao Tansheng had just ridden his horse for some distance when he heard a dull sound on the left and right. It was the sound of thousands of war horses landing at the same time, and his face changed drastically again, they hadn't opened too far from the Tatars now, if there were Qin cavalry on both sides, then the matter would be really troublesome.

"Withdraw!"

"Retreat!" Gao Tansheng hurriedly gave an order, he didn't think that his three thousand Goguryeo cavalry could deal with such an elite Qin army cuirassiers.

The Goguryeo tribal warriors hurriedly accelerated under Gao Tansheng's urging and retreated in the direction of the west. The dark blue shadows of the two Qin armies behind him were already faintly visible!

What made him feel a little strange was that they had been chased within the range of the Qin army, but the Qin army behind him had not released arrows, and he had not seen any of the earth-shattering thunder that he remembered the most. They just chased with their heads bored, thousands of cavalry, chasing in the dawn of dawn.

Just now, they were still on the chase. In the blink of an eye. They became prey to be chased. Fleeing from the wilderness, the darkest black curtain before dawn was trampled by the iron hooves of the Qin army, trembling, and began to shatter, revealing wisps of white morning light.

The Qin army behind him pursued closer and closer, and to make matters worse, two more cavalry joined the chasing team. The fellows were all clad in shiny cuirasses and steel helmets like wolf heads, in the not-so-bright dawn. It's as if a group of giant steel wolves are chasing them on their horses, making people more and more panicked and frightened.

When Gao Tansheng bypassed a mountain pass, he was terrified to find that in front of them when they had just passed, there were actually two Qin cavalry teams that had circled around here and blocked in front of them.

How is this not an endless flat prairie!

Gao Tansheng, who had lived in the hills and mountains of eastern Liaodong for most of his life, began to miss the Khitan grassland very much, if it was there, where could the Qin army stop them. He cursed the damn terrain viciously, but the more the Qin army was so familiar with the detour interception of this place, the more he panicked. These guys are all too familiar with this. They have been in ambush here for a long time.

"Kill!" Gao Tan Sheng roared and took off his bow. Mounted the feather arrows and rushed towards the Qin army in front.

At the mouth of the mountain pass, Yang Weili's hand was holding the saber in his hand, quietly looking at the Hu people who were constantly approaching.

He looked back at the behind, and all the warriors were in the wolf's breastplate, indescribably neat and mighty. The corners of his mouth rose in satisfaction, this is my capital team, my first battle.

With his right hand, he held the hilt of the sword and drew it out, and the saber rustled with a sharp sound. The snow-bright blade continued to be revealed, and the most lull was raised high with his right hand, pointing straight to the sky.

"Draw your sword and prepare!" Yang Willy roared, the big bear behind him Zhao Xiaobao followed closely behind him with his oversized wolf helmet cuirass, holding the one-foot flag in his hand, on one side was the deputy flag bearer holding a triangular red flag gun, and behind them there were two flags on the left and one on the right, they were the flag guards, and the task of the four of them was to follow the capital head in the battle, hold the capital flag high, and let the soldiers of the capital follow this flag.

The war horse was uneasy to dig the ground with its hooves, snorting, and the young Lu Shi students such as Ziegfei held their sabers tightly one by one. They wielded tens of thousands of swords and horses when they were on the army, and they were very familiar with the saber tactical manuals, and they were also very familiar with the combat training manuals such as the army drill manual. But when it was time to engage in battle, they couldn't help but get nervous.

Yang Willy was also nervous, he was very glad that he had a mask on his head, not the old-fashioned helmet, otherwise, all his subordinates would have seen the tightness on his face.

Dressed in new armor, he sat on a majestic horse, spear in hand, but not the slightest nervousness. On the contrary, all he had in his heart was a faint excitement, and he finally went to the battlefield again, a familiar battlefield, a battlefield where he had fought for life and death for thirteen years. Leaving the team to settle down in Yi County, the life of his wife and children is good, let him be satisfied, have a land, a land and a house, and a job with a good salary and not dangerous, such a life, maybe it will be very satisfying.

But there will definitely be regrets in my heart, he is a warrior, a born warrior, at the age of twenty-five, but he has been in the army for thirteen years. Life in the army has become a habit, and the ability to fight is imprinted in the heart. Others may expect an ordinary life, but he prefers this intense life.

The battle was about to start again, and he was ready. This time, he had sturdy armor, sharp spears, sabers, mighty thunderbolts and crossbows, and even a brave companion and a commander of wise heroes.

He looked back, and the sun slowly rose in the east behind him, and the eastern sky was covered with red morning glow.

Immediately after the sun rises, there is also a golden Daxu, which is the banner of the Panlong King, the handsome flag of Li Jing, the king of Qin, the generalissimo flag of the world's soldiers and horses, the whole world, this is the only one.

Yang Weili also turned his head to look at the generalissimo banner in the arch guard of the army, and his heart was full of excitement, this time they fought with the King of Qin.

"Rush!" Yang Willy pointed forward with his saber and instigated the war horse to start galloping.

The herald waved the flag, the trumpeter blew the horn, and the captains blew the iron whistles.

Under the guidance of the capital flag, the team flag, and the pennant guns of the officers, Jiadu began to follow the soldiers of the same battalion on both sides to meet the charge.

The horse slowly accelerated, then faster and faster, and maintained a constant speed at the back of the horse, charging towards the incoming enemy.

"No arrows. Rush up! In the distance, the battalion commander heard the yelling. It was a tall and mighty guy. He is also an instructor at Yang Willy Lushi School, a guy who can shock all the students with his voice alone.

Yang Willy lifted his shield, and the cavalry behind him also raised their shields, and then continued to rush forward with their guns. No one shoots arrows, no one throws mines, just hedging in its purest form.

"What do they want to do?" Gao Tansheng was frightened for no reason, this Qin army was the most strange cavalry unit he had ever seen, they were well-armed. But instead of using strong bows and crossbows and grenades, they rushed straight at them. Do they wear a cuirass and think they are hoplites?

The arrows of the Goguryeo were ruthlessly blocked by the shields and armor of the other side.

Although it is a half-body armor, it is still extremely strong.

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, Gao Tansheng was already panicking, he had really never seen such a cavalry fight, but the light cavalry wanted to play a collision,!

"Keep your distance! Shoot arrows, shoot arrows, shoot these southern barbarians! ”

The Goguryeo warriors had only shot two rounds, and the Qin cavalry had already rushed in front of them. These Song troops did not pause. Even their favorite Sky-Shaking Thunder hadn't been brought out yet, they were just holding their riding guns. Holding knives and horses, they rushed over in a neat and dense queue.

The two cavalry collided head-on, and the Goguryeo people did not expect that the Qin army would really collide, they always thought that the Qin army would bypass it at the last moment. As a result, they thought wrongly, Qin Jun really came to hit people. But it wasn't all about hitting people, because before they hit them, the rifles in their hands had already stabbed them, and several of them bullied one of them, and by the time they made a mistake, most of them had already been cut off their horses.

Gao Tansheng blocked left and right, and was also shot in the left abdomen after the most rear, this kind of stabbing gun was amazingly powerful, and it actually penetrated through his Shanwen armor and an inner armor of Litong in one fell swoop, and pierced into his abdomen, if he hadn't held the opponent's gun with his hand in time, he was afraid that this time he would have pierced a pair.

The blood was so strong that he almost rolled off his horse.

Gao Tansheng pushed the gun away with all his might, turned his horse's head while covering his bleeding wounds, and shouted loudly: "Keep your distance, shoot them, shoot these Qin dogs!" ”

But his men were far less tenacious than him, and the Qin army seemed to be moving slowly, but they rolled forward, and one after another the warriors were cut down from their horses and then trampled by their iron hooves. It was like a giant beast, devouring every tribal warrior they approached.

The 3,000 Goguryeo warriors, plus a few thousand other small tribal warriors who followed them in the face of the situation, were quickly defeated and retreated.

With a swing of the sword, a Goguryeo warrior who was parrying the Zigg flying spear was shaved off his entire head from his shoulder. He smiled a little proudly at the young Hu man Qi Gefei, "Thank you for your help, this first-level skill is mine!" After speaking, he also lit up the shining saber dripping with blood in his hand. He liked the saber very much, it was so sharp, and it was designed to be especially suitable for horse combat, compared to spears and spears, but it was a sharp weapon for horsemanship.

Riding his horse, he set his sights on another Goguryeo warrior. Before leaving, he still looked at the head of the Goguryeo warrior who rolled to the ground with some reluctance. He always had the urge to pick up that person's head and tie it to the saddle, but unfortunately, the Qin army regulations did not allow the head to be cut off during the battle. Moreover, Qin Jun's calculation of merit is not directly calculated according to the head, but there is a very complicated method of calculating merit that he can't figure out anyway, and the general merit is mainly based on collective merit. Of course, there is also credit for the personal kill, which is why he said that to Siegfried just now. Although he picked up the head, he killed what he killed.

He conspired in his heart while riding his horse, and the third. This is the third one he has just killed, although most of them were snatched by him from his comrades, he will not say that he robbed them, but will say that he killed the enemy when he rescued his comrades. He had already planned and tried to kill ten enemies in this battle, and when the time came, he would have a lot of reward, not to mention, he might even be promoted to an official rank. Yang Willy has an opinion about him, he wants to let him see, he is a veteran of a hundred battles, how can he underestimate it?

"Kill!" He yelled and rode his horse to the side of the two scholars, who were joining forces against a Goguryeo cavalry, and the guy who had already fought was powerless, and just as they were about to harvest, he suddenly appeared, raised his knife in front of them and slashed through the throat of the fellow, and snatched another credit.

"Thank you two for your help, I'll have a drink when I get back."

"it, it, we're stealing heads."

"Human-headed dog!"

The two young students wiped the sweat and blood on their faces, and cursed helplessly.

At this moment, the horn sounded behind him, and the banner of King Qin was constantly moving towards this side, and in front of them, a group of defeated tribal cavalry was rushing to this side.

"Doot toot!"

The leaders of the team blew their iron whistles and signaled for their cavalry to get out of the way and let them pass.

As soon as Yang Weili and the others stepped aside, tens of thousands of defeated tribal cavalry were already roaring and rolling past, and then, a loud military horn sounded, which was the clarion call of the whole army to pursue. Yang Willy waved his saber and chased after him with a loud roar, and he had already taken the lead in chasing after him.

The chicken turned his head to look at the man under the conspicuous royal flag, swallowed his saliva, and then slammed the horse's belly, and also rushed down with Yang Weili with his saber, and behind him, more cavalry were following the banner of King Qin. (To be continued......)
