Chapter 250: A River of Spring Water

"Poof!poof!"

Heavy, dull crossbow arrows came and went, all of which were so powerful that they could easily penetrate not only the necks of cavalrymen, but also their armor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Screams rang out one after another, and the Jiannu cavalry fell from their horses one by one, like ducks in the water.

After several waves of crossbow arrows were fired, nearly half of the two hundred Jiannu cavalry were lost.

At this time, the surface of the canal suddenly broke out again, and countless blue-clothed people broke out of the water again, and this time they jumped to the shore. Each of them was armed with a broad-backed long knife and wore tight-fitting battle suits, the fabric of which was obviously waterproof, and the water droplets shook down in beads when they came ashore, and soon dried as new again, without affecting their fight in the slightest.

The Jiannu cavalry was obviously taken aback, they couldn't figure out how these people came here, and how they could lie in ambush underwater for so long without being exposed.

The first group of blue-clothed men who came ashore numbered more than fifty people, and they immediately formed a strange formation, and then rushed to kill the cavalry without saying a word. Before many of the cavalry could recover from the shock, they had already become the ghosts of their swords.

Then came the second and third groups, and soon the number of blue-clothed people reached about two hundred and fifty people.

At this time, the number of Jiannu cavalry had been sharply reduced to more than 50 people. They had tried to charge in formation, but the men in blue were so good that the charge of the horses was no threat to them.

The Jiannu cavalry saw that it was wrong, and immediately withdrew in the direction where the army was!

But unfortunately, they met Qin Shuhuai again. Qin Shuhuai saw that the Jiannu cavalry was running towards him, so he naturally wanted to take the sheep away with him, so the long sword flew, and he killed more than a dozen of them.

The man in blue quickly caught up and met Qin Shuhuai.

One of them came up and arched his hand, "Your Excellency is the leader of the Jianghe Gang Qin?"

Qin Shuhuai saw that their dress was very different from that of ordinary people, so he probably guessed their identity, returned the salute, and said, "It's exactly below." The heroes are the brothers of the Sun and Moon Sect Qingshui Banner?"

The man in blue said, "Exactly." Below is Lin Yuan, the owner of the Qingshui Banner. ”

Qin Shuhuai said happily, "Lord Lin Qi, fortunately." The explosion just now, but it's the masterpiece of Brother Guiqi?"

Lin Yuan laughed and said, "It's exactly what Brother Qi did. I saw that the Qin gang leader wanted to blow up the bridge but couldn't, so I had to go beyond the bounds. The army of Jiannu is less than ten miles away from here, and the situation is urgent, so this banner has no choice but to make its own opinions, and I hope that the Qin gang leader will not be blamed. ”

Qin Shuhuai smiled, "How dare you." Brother Guiqi has helped me a lot, and I am grateful. ”

He looked at the brothers in Qingshuiqi, and saw that there were only about two hundred and fifty of them, which was half of what the woman in purple said, so he asked, "There is a girl in purple in your sect who reported to me before, saying that there are 500 people in your banner to help, why are there only half of them now?

Lin Yuan chuckled, "Just in case, the other half of the brothers have already gone to blow up another bridge. By the way, the purple-clothed girl that Gang Leader Qin said was probably my Purple Elder Chu Yun. The next time the Qin Gang Master sees her, please call her an elder or aunt. ”

Qin Shuhuai was stunned for a moment, "I see, it's rude." ”

Now that there are 250 people from Qingshui Banner joining, and the three stone bridges have been bombed, Qin Shuhuai has put his mind back on the battlefield. Now the situation of the Ming army is very bad, because Jiannu is all cavalry, so if it collapses, it is likely that the whole army will be wiped out!

After thinking about it, he immediately said to Lin Yuan, "Master Lin Qi, can you help me kill you again?" Our brother was ambushed by Jiannu, and the situation is very bad. ”

Lin Yuan immediately said, "Gang Master Qin, please lead the way, my banner is naturally here to help!"

So, with more than 200 Qingshui banners, Qin Shuhuai killed back again.

This time, his goal is very clear, he is going in the spirit of Yue Tuo!

Yue Tuo's guards had increased to five hundred, all of whom were cavalry, densely surrounding him.

On the battlefield, the situation of the Ming army was very bad. Under the onslaught of Dolgon's cavalry, the formation of the Ming army was completely disorganized. The two thousand cavalry were now nearly half damaged, and the pike-infantry, under the onslaught of the two-wheeled cavalry, had already lost more than half. The Jianghe Gang also suffered heavy losses, with more than 200 of its 600 men lost in battle, and only the Red Fire Banner and the Loess Banner were slightly better, and they still maintained a complete formation and strong combat strength.

The Jiannu horsemen have completely gained the upper hand and mastered the rhythm of the battlefield. More than 100 of them rode left and right, and from time to time they launched a charge, the horses' hooves stepped on, and the sabers swung over, and dozens of Ming soldiers were bound to be killed and wounded. The Ming army had no power to fight back except to parry.

Pi Gou, Lai San'er and others protected He Kegang to kill left and right, and his body was stained with blood. He Kegang's eyes were scarlet, and he constantly commanded the cavalry to hedge with the Jiannu horsemen, hoping to win the opportunity for the infantry to regroup, but with little success.

At that moment, a stream of men and horses came from the north, like a clear blue stream, into the stream that was about to dry up.

The two hundred and fifty Qingshui Banner Sect members formed five large formations, separated at an extremely fast speed, and slaughtered Yue Tuo's escort camp in five directions.

Seeing this, the five hundred horsemen of Yuetuo's guard battalion immediately took fifty cavalry as a group, a total of five cavalry units, and rushed towards the five phalanxes of Qingshui Banner. It should be said that there is nothing wrong with this approach, how can you not rush when you see the infantry as a cavalry?

But something unexpected happened to them.

I only heard the flag-bearers in each formation in the Qingshui Banner shouting, "A river of spring water!" and then waved the command flag a few times, and the Qingshui Banner people immediately moved when they heard the order.

After the five cavalry rushed over like five arrows, the five formations of the Qingshui Banner immediately separated at an extremely fast speed, and the formation was extremely smooth, and the people in the formation did not trample or push at all, and successfully avoided the impact of the cavalry. After the cavalry passed, it quickly gathered at an astonishing speed, and the formation was not chaotic at all, and it remained the same!

The whole process looked more like an arrow passing through a pool of clear water, and the current first rushed to all sides, allowing the cavalry to pass through, at most setting off a splash, but finally quickly returned to calm.

It may seem simple, but anyone who's been on the battlefield knows how hard it can be. The speed of the cavalry charge is extremely fast, and if the general infantry group wants to avoid it, it is bound to push or stampede, so it can be said that the cavalry will be chaotic before the infantry arrives, which is why the cavalry tactics are easy to break down the infantry phalanx. In order to do this like the Qingshui Flag, in addition to practicing day after day, everyone must also have excellent light skills!

After dodging the onslaught of the cavalry, the five formations of the Qingshui Banner immediately rushed to Yue Tuo to cover and kill. The more than two hundred and fifty riders around Yue Tuo didn't dare to rush anymore, if they rushed to Yue Tuo again, there would be no one around them!
