Chapter 53: Driving a Horse High Slope Top
In the eastern border of Biluo Ling, Huagu County, which had failed to set up ambushes to encircle Lin Xi and others three times before, was leading its troops towards "Wula Su", which was the Biluo Cornucopia hilly area marked on the Biluo border army map.
Five hundred light-armored cavalry marched at a steady speed on both flanks of the army.
The central army consisted of a hundred men, their whole bodies and horses were covered in complicated heavy armor made of hundreds of steel. Only the eyes of the rider and the horses were exposed, and the whole body looked like a heavy horse made of steel.
Between the heavy and light cavalry, which are like mobile steel fortresses, are dozens of chariots. These chariots are covered with thick black oxen blankets, but even the black oxen blankets cannot hide the cold atmosphere and prominent shape.
, as well as dozens of soldiers with completely different temperaments on the chariots, one can easily judge that these chariots carry mobile steel barriers and heavy armors of soul soldiers that are more powerful than heavy cavalry!
Two riders rushed out of an unknown mountain col and faced the iron army led by Huagu County.
As soon as they saw the face of one of the riders clearly, the several reconnaissance riders who were wandering in front of the team did not stop them at all, allowing the two riders to rush straight to the front of the Chinese army.
The two riders were riding tall and strong wild horses without saddles. However, during the wild running of the two strong wild horses, the two riders were firmly nailed to the horse's back like nails.
There was no possibility of falling. One of the riders was tall and thin, with a face full of stubble and a dusty look. He was wearing a patched coarse cloth, just like an ordinary hunter, but he was carrying a long cloth package on his back.
, judging from the shape, it should be a sword-like weapon.
Another rider was wearing a tight-fitting black leather armor. He was not tall, but his arms were unusually thick and powerful, as if all the muscles in his body had grown into his arms. He seemed to be of local border origin.
, his eyes are slightly sunken, and his hair is somewhat grayish-yellow. The most striking thing is that he has a huge crimson bow and a thick leather quiver slung across his body.
The entire huge crimson bow and its strings are made of several strands of metal. The bow body and strings are covered with rose flower runes. Because it is twice the size of a regular strong bow, it looks extremely menacing.
.
All the sergeants behind Huagu County had a look of admiration and awe in their eyes the moment they saw the rider clearly.
Because from the huge crimson bow, they all knew that this person was Xu Qiubai, the most powerful archer under General Wenren.
For the Biluo frontier army, this archer carrying a crimson long bow is also a legendary figure. In the arduous battles of the past ten years, this archer has almost always appeared. This Biluo
The First Archery Division of the Frontier Army is probably the general who has participated in the most battles in the past ten years.
"General Xu."
Huagu County took the initiative to bow to this powerful archer.
Naturally, he knows the role and power of this archer better than ordinary sergeants. He also knows that in the battle to kill Nanshan Mu, there was this archer, and in the battle to stop Xu Buyi,
, there is also the existence of this archer.
"No need to be polite."
Xu Qiubai glanced at Huagu County and asked expressionlessly: "How is the military situation?"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed, reflecting the deep red color of the long bow on his body, and the sunken pupils seemed to be flashing with blood. In addition, his expression was too calm, making his whole person also...
Like a bloodthirsty soul soldier without any emotion.
Huagu County replied calmly: "The rebels have the potential to advance towards the junction of Cornucopia and Shanyang Road in the eastern suburbs. Our army will be responsible for cutting in at noon tomorrow to block part of the rebels."
"We are ordered to follow the army." Xu Qiubai nodded and said with as much care as gold.
Huagu County turned to look at the rider in coarse cloth beside Xu Qiubai, "Who is this?"
Xu Qiubai said expressionlessly: "Zhen Kuai, the secret agent of Donglin Province. His sword is also very fast, you should not be able to stop it."
Hearing this introduction, Zhen Kuai smiled apologetically at Huagu County. Huagu County was not angry at Xu Qiubai's direct and almost rude introduction, but his mood became a little heavier. He nodded in return and asked in a solemn voice.
Said: "The team I intercepted earlier is said to have come from Donglin Province?"
Zhen Kuai looked at the cold-faced Huagu County, suppressed his wry smile, and replied seriously: "I was the one who kept an eye on this all the way and reported it to Master Gongsun Quan, but I didn't expect that even Master Gongsun Quan could not stop this attack."
Team.”
"I set up ambushes three times, and each time I felt sure to succeed, but every time in the end the opponent escaped like a miracle. According to the latest military information, the opponent has killed Lord Ding and taken over the Jingtian Queen's army." Huagu County looked at Zhen.
Quickly, asked slowly: "I heard that the leader of this team was a young man, and it was this young man who killed Lord Gongsun Quan. Who is this young man?"
"Now the information is accurate." Zhen Kuai looked at the commander with an unusually cold and serious face, lowered his voice and said: "It's Lin Xi who was transferred from the Longshebian Army. His previous identity was the patrol herder of Yangjian Tianshan.
Military commander."
Huagu County's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Is it the new generation of Qingluan Academy's Windrunner who captured the giant lizard and forced Di Choufei to be demoted?"
Zhen quickly nodded, "Exactly."
Xu Qiubai beside them seemed not to be interested in their conversation at all. Only when he heard Huagu County say the word "Windrunner", he narrowed his eyes slightly and showed an unusually cold look at the corners of his mouth, and then he also
Without saying anything, he jumped off his horse and jumped into a chariot at the rear. He opened up the thick blanket covering the heavy armor and ordnance and got in.
Huagu County ignored the actions of this powerful archer. He fell into silence. After the team moved forward several hundred steps, he sighed slightly to Zhen Kuai, "People like you are useless."
He was transferred back to the Biluoling Alliance Army to fight... This battle is more difficult than any previous battles."
Zhen Kuai nodded, sighed, and said softly: "Yes, I may not be able to see my soon-to-be-born son."
Huagu County was slightly startled, not knowing what emotions were in his heart. He paused for a moment, but said: "Congratulations."
Zhen Kuai smiled and said sincerely: "Thank you."
…
starry night.
Lin Xi and others and the entire Bi Luo Jing Tian Hou army were walking between the hills and meadows of the Cornucopia, heading towards the direction of Shanyang Road.
After Riji and Bian Linghan shot and killed several generals including Ding Ding by beheading, and were shocked by the spiritual priest robes representing light and glory, Lin Xi took over the team with the assistance of the heroic cavalry general Qiu Zhenghu.
, and quickly took control of the situation.
Except for dozens of sergeants who were extremely loyal to Wenren Cangyue and chose to commit suicide when they saw that the situation was irreversible, the entire takeover process was not even chaotic and did not cause more casualties to the sergeants.
This is undoubtedly the best result that Lin Xi and others want to see, because everyone who died here was from Yunqin.
The Shanyang Road to the north of the Cornucopia area is the flattest plain area in the entire eastern border of Biluoling. It is also the only strategic road connecting Biluoling and the Yunqin Empire. The remaining mountainous and forested areas on the border are only suitable for small groups of troops and caravans to pass through.
, and most of the horse trails in those mountainous forest areas will pass through more crossings with more dangerous terrain. Only a team of practitioners like Lin Xi and others can break through the interception of the Biluo border army and enter the depths of Biluo Mausoleum.
From the eastern border of Biluoling to the vast depth of Biluoling, most of them are low hills and plains. To march and fight, it is a large army attack to capture the city, which is very different from Longshe Border Pass and Qianxia Mountain.
Normally, when Yun Qin's army pays, rations and new troops enter Biluo Ling, they all take the Shanyang Road. But now if Yun Qin's army wants to invade Biluo Ling, they can only capture the Shanyang Road area.
But at this moment, although Lin Xi was commanding the entire Jing Tian Hou army and was rushing towards Shanyang Road, Lin Xi didn't think much about whether the higher-up's intention was to capture Shanyang Road, because he knew very well how many troops were marching towards Biluo Mausoleum.
There are many "fishes" like him among the teams moving around the territory. In the big river of Yunqin, he is still a small fish after all.
There were five reconnaissance riders who maintained a steady and fast speed, wandering about several miles directly in front of the Jingtian Queen's army.
Under the moonless starry night sky, the ordinary sergeants of the Jingtian Army in the rear could no longer see the five knights in the night.
Suddenly, on a high slope in front of the five cavalry, dozens of bowstrings sounded simultaneously, and dozens of black feather arrows were shot out from the waist-deep grass, with a shrill sound of breaking through the air, and they were accurately focused.
These five horses.
Even the elite reconnaissance cavalry in the Biluo Border Army would definitely suffer heavy losses in such a sudden encounter with a rain of arrows. However, the sound of arrows sounded, and the light of the weapons in the hands of the five mounted riders also flashed, and with a breath,
In the meantime, all the riders on these five horses shot down the arrows that posed a real threat to them, without even a single person suffering any damage.
Because this is an extremely luxurious reconnaissance team composed entirely of practitioners.
In addition to Jiang Xiaoyi, Bian Linghan, and Meng Bai, there are two others who are "Tu Heihu" and "Coyote Deng Shuangshou" who looked like a farmer among the previous ten wolves.
Meng Bai is very timid, but his hands are quick.
At this moment, he used a long knife to shoot away several arrows that were shot at him, and involuntarily pulled the reins, causing his horse to slow down.
Just by being slow, Bian Linghan and the other four cavalrymen far surpassed him and rushed straight into the dozens of ambushed sergeants.
The dozens of ambushing sergeants did not make any sound at all, and did not ask where the reconnaissance cavalry came from. A black-armored general clenched his fist again and wanted to order to concentrate all arrows to kill the first person, but his fist
Just as he raised it, Bian Linghan had already completed a shot in the midst of a rapid horse dash, and a silver arrow accurately hit the general between the eyebrows.
A round of arrow rain still fell, but because of the death of this general, it became more inaccurate and scattered.
Jiang Xiaoyi took the lead. With a loud shout, he rushed into the enemy's formation first. With a flick of his arm, the black spear in his hand killed a black-armored sergeant who was charging towards the belly of his horse.
Pierced, the pick flew out.
He didn't pause at all, and went straight forward, rushing straight through the formation. His gun shot was just right. He was only a few meters away, and he actually knocked five people away in a row.
Bian Linghan and others did not follow Jiang Xiaoyi, but scattered into the formation like several arrows. In just a few seconds, this group of more than 30 ambush soldiers, mainly archers and swordsmen, only
There are a few people left.
"kill!"
The remaining black-armored sergeants still rushed up desperately, but Jiang Xiaoyi did not get entangled with these people, and immediately drove his horse up the high slope in front of him.
Just when he rushed to the highest point of this high slope and saw clearly what was in front of him, Jiang Xiaoyi, who had become an outstanding and cold-blooded young general in successive battles, his pupils shrank slightly.
