Chapter XVII Cavalry Confrontation

Liu Yu led the cavalry and quickly rushed to the refugee camp about two hundred steps.

The walls of the refugee camp in front have been broken through several gaps in the Xiami official army. Many parts of the wooden camp wall have been burned, which has ignited many thatched huts in the camp.

A large number of Xiamen officers and soldiers were pouring into the camp from the gap and attacking the militia left behind in the camp. These refugees were fighting with all their might for their relatives, wives and children in the camp.

When Liu Yu saw the battle situation in the camp, he should be that the Xiami County official army wanted to break the camp and plunder women and children, and used these people as hostages to threaten the refugees who followed him. If the government army succeeded, the young and strong refugees would most likely leave him, and the worse result might be that they would turn against him and become an enemy of the government army.

"Everyone, dismount." Liu Yu ordered loudly, because he ran all the way, he now needed to let the horse take a little rest and accumulate horsepower.

Everyone dismounted the horse, and many people took out a handful of grass from the bags on the horse's back and fed the horses. This is a kind of grass from the Donglai Mountain Mausoleum. If you eat too much cattle and horses, you will be furious and crazy. If you eat a small amount, you will make the horses excited.

At this time, Liu Yu saw a large flag on the Xiami City Gate Tower shaking wildly, probably giving orders to the officials who besieged the camp.

Sure enough, a large number of government troops rushed out of the gap in the camp and began to line up in the direction of Liu Yu and the others.

From a distance, Liu Yu looked at it and there were about three or four hundred people in the array, including about forty or fifty cavalrymen.

Soon the group of officers and soldiers were arranged next to the camp, with cavalry behind and infantry in front.

When he saw the county magistrate’s banner at the head of the city, Zhang Qi, the Xiami Wei who was commanding the besieging Liumin camp, also knew that a group of Donglai thieves appeared behind him.

Seeing that there were only about twenty thieves, Zhang Qi immediately ordered the mobilization of all the more than forty cavalry, and then transferred out the nearest brigade infantry, and quickly formed a formation to pounce on the thieves.

The lower secret guard Zhang Qi thought that the infantry and cavalry would advance together. If the thieves did not escape, then let the infantry attack and fight, and then encircle them with the cavalry side and back. Only twenty thieves and cavalry could be wiped out in one round.

Seeing that the formation of the official army was completed and the formation was slowly advancing, Liu Yu knew that the official army would definitely want to give full play to the advantage of the number of people. The infantry first attacked the battle, and then the cavalry surrounded his side and back. His number was at an absolute disadvantage and he could never fall into a frontal battle with a large number of infantrymen.

Liu Yu immediately greeted Dong Ping and Zhao Weizi got on the horse together. The three of them were the best riding archers in the army.

Liu Yu and the other two got on the horse and rushed to the infantry's flank. When they rushed to the infantry's flank dozens of steps, the three of them fired their bows together and three feather arrows shot quickly.

The three men ran and wandered along the flanks of the infantry formation, shooting round after round of feather arrows. Many infantrymen in the official army lacked good armor, and more than a dozen infantrymen had fallen into the ground after arrows.

The archers in the infantry formation also began to counterattack, but most of the arrows were difficult to shoot the speeding horses. A feather arrow with great luck shot on Liu Yu, but the weak bow only shot through the outer cover of the armor, not hurting Liu Yu at all. Instead, several archers separated from the infantry formation because of shooting, and were named by Liu Yu and the other two with strong bows, and instantly rushed to the ground.

In a very short time, nearly twenty soldiers had fallen into the infantry formation of the official army and the entire formation began to shake.

In the left-wing cavalry formation, Zhang Qi, the lower secret guard, saw all this and regretted his carelessness. He should have placed the infantry on both sides to cover it.

It is particularly hateful that these three thieves dared to harass a queue of more than 300 people.

Zhang Qi shouted, and led more than 40 cavalrymen to the right wing to expel Liu Yu and the other two.

When Liu Yu saw that the enemy's cavalry had been lured out by himself, his purpose had been achieved, he immediately turned his horse's head and returned.

The Xia Secret Guard Zhang Qi led the cavalry to see that the three Donglai thieves took advantage and turned around and fled, rushing to chase after him.

Unexpectedly, these three thieves did not escape in one breath. Instead, they saw the official cavalry approaching, and turned around and shot arrows. The three arrows were fired at the front, and the secret cavalry screamed and fell off their horses.

In the blink of an eye, the three thieves looked back and shot arrows. This time, the secret cavalry was ready, but one of them was still caught.

Seeing that these three thieves were so fierce, Zhang Qi did not dare to chase them anymore. He was about to order to retreat, but suddenly he found that they had rushed a hundred steps away, and the twenty Donglai cavalry who had already lined up in front were already very close to him.

At this time, Liu Yu had already led Dong Ping and Zhao Weizi back to the queue and saw that the Xia Sei cavalry had been lured by him to escape from the infantry array.

Liu Yu took back the bow and arrow, took out his rifle, clamped it under his armpit, drove the horse to the front of the cavalry line, and ordered loudly: "Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Twenty cavalry rushed forward in unison.

At this time, the Xia Secret Guard Zhang Qi saw that the bandit army had already launched a charge, and he also gave an order to urge the war horses to speed up the charge again. However, the distance was too close. Before the official cavalry had fully increased the speed, the Donglai army on the opposite side had already hit the head with the highest horse speed.

The real time of the two cavalry confrontation can only be described in a blink of an eye. All training, experience and courage are perfectly released in this moment.

When Liu Yu and the others rushed out a long distance and turned their horse's head and lined up again, Liu Yu saw more than a dozen corpses and wounded soldiers lying at the place where they were just confronting each other, only one of which was a member of the Donglai Army.

Liu Yu's rifle was also pierced through the neck of an official army in the previous confrontation and left it on it. He drew another long knife and shouted loudly: "Run again!"

Twenty horses then started another charge.

At this time, the Xiami cavalry had just stopped their horses and turned around. Seeing the terrifying Donglai thieves coming again, some people wanted to reorganize the team and fight again, while some people had no courage to fight again, and wanted to fight the horse and flee to both sides.

The lower secret guard Zhang Qi was riding on a horse at this time, thinking of escaping. In the confrontation just now, a knife from Donglai Army slashed his arm. Although the armor was not cut, his right arm still hurt a lot. He could no longer lift his right arm and could not use any strength. Zhang Qi thought that the bones of his arm might have been broken.

Liu Yu saw that the cavalry on the opposite side were in chaos, and kicked the horse hard to increase the horse's belly to the highest speed.

Just as the cavalry of the secrets turned around and fled, the Donglai cavalry, who had accelerated to the highest speed, once again collided.

In front of Liu Yu's sword front, there was a secret cavalry who did not escape but rushed towards them. Liu Yuping held up a long sword. When he passed by him, his wrist turned lightly and easily pushed away the cavalry's long sword. Then the knife edge passed through his fragile throat. Half of the cavalry's neck was broken, his cervical spine was broken by inertia, and his head was strangely hanging behind him.
