Chapter 146 Jumping flame [2]
Chapter 146 Jumping Flames [2]
Seeing the fire, Li Lizhong and Zhao Yingwu were indeed worried about Zhao Jin's safety.
After discussion, Zhao Yingwu continued to set off with all the armor. However, Li Lizhong took the lead in rushing over with relatively fast cavalry. The number of cavalry was not large, and there were only 45 cavalrymen including Li Lizhong.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Lizhong saw the corpses lying all over the floor on the official road. Li Lizhong felt nervous when he immediately became nervous and prayed in his heart, "Your Majesty! You must have nothing to do!" Li Lizhong finally breathed a sigh of relief until Zhao Qin came out of the hidden place. Why is it a little bit? Because Zhao Qin is still covered in blood, but they are all from those sneak attackers, but Li Lizhong didn't know. "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Li Lizhong's voice trembled a little without realizing it.
Zhao Qian shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "It's just some scratches and bruises! This armor..."
After patting his armor, he made a crisp sound of armor leaves hitting. Zhao Qian continued, "It's pretty good. After returning, I have to thank some of the emperor's rewards!"
Li Lizhong looked speechless. At this time, Prince, do you still have the intention to care about this?
Zhao Qian looked at the cavalry who were trapped and frowned, and immediately frowned. He asked the cavalry to come, not only to protect himself who had already guarded his weak power, but also because the situation in Muling Pass was becoming more and more critical at this time. Turning his head to look at the situation in Muling Pass, Zhao Qian knew that he had to make a choice. Without hesitation for too long, Zhao Qian had already made up his mind to wake up, gritted his teeth, and said, "Follow me to set off! Support Muling Pass!"
After saying that, Zhao Jin immediately turned over and took the lead in setting off towards Muling Pass. Li Lizhong was unwilling to do so. He knew what his subordinates were in now, but he had no choice but to follow Zhao Jin and leave.
Seeing a team of cavalry rushing towards them with torches, the officials on the city immediately cheered and thundered.
The city gate had already opened at this time, but in fact, it was not very meaningful to open the city gate without opening. Because Mengshan bandits came from the south, and the east and west sides of Muling Pass were continuous mountains, so it was impossible for the army to cross mountains and ridges to reach the north gate.
The leader of Mengshan bandits also knew that they were powerful and quickly drove a group of militia recruited about halfway through to block the city gate. These militiamen were obviously cannon fodder, not only in rags, but their weapons were all simple weapons such as sharp bamboo, hoes, horse forks, etc.
"Shoot the arrow!" Zhao Qian shouted, and he took the lead in taking out the Huns bow from the saddle. The characteristic of the Huns bow is that the bow body is awkward, with the bow grasp as the center, the upper half should be longer and the lower half should be shorter. This makes the Huns bow more powerful than the short bow used by ordinary cavalry. Of course, the Huns bow is also more expensive.
After hearing this, more than 40 cavalrymen immediately took out the Huns' bows and bent their bows and arrows.
The militia were crowded at the city gate. When they saw the enemy bent their bows and arrows, they immediately had a commotion. However, their range of movement was too small, and it was too late to hide.
"Swoosh!swoosh!..."
A wave of arrows shot out, and the harsh sound of breaking through the air was heard.
More than a dozen refugees standing in front were immediately taken to the ground by the force of the arrows. Shooting from close range, coupled with the slightest force of the rapid movement of the war horse, each arrow penetrated the refugees' weak body.
Under the jumping fire, blood sprinkled on the ground of the city gate and on the walls. The blood-red blood and the fiery fire were so charming and charming.
The arrows did not make these refugees die immediately, and the stinging pain made their faces distorted and let out a shrill wail. Fear spread like a plague, and no one could resist him.
The refugees collapsed!
Zhao Qian rushed up. The role of these refugees was to be trampled on each other and were harvested by cavalry one by one with their spear or sabre.
Some fell while running away, and before they could scream, he was already trampled into meat sauce by the war horses caught up from behind with iron hooves.
After the cavalry passed, the city gate hole had become a portrait of hell on earth. The ground was full of minced meat, and it was impossible to tell how many people died here. It was even more impossible to piece together a complete body! The blood splattered on the wall under the action of gravity, slowly flowing towards the ground. However, that strange flow made people feel an illusion that the city gate hole was injured in the battle and his wound was bleeding.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the four torches inserted into the city gate, and the flames are still cheering and jumping in the night wind.
After killing the cannon fodders in the refugees, Zhao Qin immediately saw a spear soldiers lined up behind him, about 300. This spear soldiers must be the elite of Mengshan bandits. The weapons in their hands were all standard spears of the Song army, and they were eight feet and three inches long. This batch of spears was probably seized from Cheng Lin.
Zhao Qian immediately called out his good luck in his heart. If the team of vagrant cannon fodders had lasted for a longer time, it would not take too long for two or three minutes. When he broke through the city gate, he would probably have to advance and retreat. Even if he could retreat, he would have to pay a huge casualty as a price to escape from Muling Pass.
The situation is different now! Although the spearmen are very restrained by the cavalry, he has a necessary requirement. That is, the array! Although the spear is long, it is precisely because of its length that the spears are easily twisted together with other spears. The spearmen in the other arrays are a mess.
"Run!Run!Run!!!"
Zhao Jin roared while clamping the horse's belly. The war horse neighed and speeded up in pain. The horse's hooves trampled on the bluestone road in Muling Pass, and immediately made a crisp and rapid sound of horse's hooves.
The sound of horse hooves, like the sound of war drums, makes people feel nervous and their blood boils unconsciously.
"Run!"
"Kill!"
The forty-six cavalry immediately increased their speed. Those with horse whips used horse whips, while those without horse whips slapped the horse's buttocks with weapons. The war horses increased their speed very quickly under the stinging pain.
When an ordinary war horse sprints at full speed, its speed can be briefly up to 37 or 8 miles per hour. Even if Zhao Jin's cavalry is not all war horses, there is no problem with the explosion speed during sprinting to reach more than 30 kilometers per hour!
The spearmen were all shocked. They were in a panic and wanted to set up a formation to resist the enemy. But this is how people were. The more nervous they were, the more panic they were, and instead made things messy.
Several long spears were still tucked together, and some people were as unaware of their positions as if they were headless flies.
Although the two sides have not yet fought, when they see this situation, rational people know that this spearman is over!
Chapter completed!
