Chapter 147 Jumping Flames [3]

When a spearman with almost no defense meets a cavalry with a speed of more than 30 kilometers per hour, the result is so tragic! Especially the weight of the war horses is not light. Although the horses in the Song Dynasty are relatively short, there is no problem with an ordinary horse about 700 pounds, and a cavalry weighing 140 pounds is even more normal. With armor, vests, spears, sabers, bows and arrows, saddles and other equipment, there is no problem with the weight of '900 pounds+'!

When the war horse in charge comes into contact with the spearmen, the visual impact is so shocking. It is like a mud truck hitting a motorcycle. It can only be described in two words - crushing! Absolute crushing!

The seven-foot-long cavalry spear arrived first. These cavalry spears were different from the standard cavalry spears of the Song army, but were created by Zhao Jin by blacksmiths alone. Imitation of Western cavalry spears, the spear head was one foot and four inches long, and the spear tip was concave triangular. As long as it was stabbed, it would be difficult to heal the wound.

The sharp spear was as easy as cutting into butter, piercing the body of a chaotic spearman through.

When the cavalry felt that the power was too great, the cavalry released their cavalry spears in time, but there were still four cavalrymen who were a little nervous. Not only did they dislocate their arms under the rebounding force, but they also fell off their war horses.

But at this time no one had time to take care of them. Zhao Qian threw down his riding spear and pulled out his waist knife to chop. The lethality of the waist knife is not as good as that of the riding spear, but the use of the waist knife is much better than that of the riding spear, so at least you don’t have to worry about rebounding.

The war horse hit the pike soldier, which even hit the pike soldier. The war horse might just feel a little stuffy and hurt in his chest. The pike soldier was different. His chest was obviously concave, and he flew to the ground with blood spitting on his mouth. He rolled several times before he stopped his castration.

It was just that the internal injuries on the chest obviously told others that the long weapon could no longer survive. Although he did not die immediately, he was just breathless.

Zhao Jin led the cavalry and launched a charge for only one round, and the spearmen collapsed, leaving hundreds of corpses on the ground. Blood was sprinkled on the bluestone slabs, forming a thin pool of water.

In fact, it is not because of the spearmen that they are so fragile. They are really too powerless against the cavalry in the charge! The three wounded soldiers of the Shengjie Army were injured because they were accidentally injured. The cavalry gave the spearmen the feeling that they were invincible. How could they be called the spearmen to be brave?

"The Great Song Dynasty is mighty! Majestic!"

The Song soldiers who were standing on the city wall immediately cheered and thundered. Although the Meng bandits were tricky, they could not change a fact. The Meng bandits were farmers, soldiers who changed their jobs. It was okay to fight a battle with the wind, but once something unexpected happened, they immediately became panicked. After all, they were a tree without a source. The Song army had the capital to be injured and died in battle because the government behind them was to clean up their funerals. Not to mention how much pension was, but no matter how much it was, they would have dozens of trump cards.

On the other hand, what if Mengshan bandits are injured? Then they are worried. Not only are there any shortage of doctors and medicines, they have to be afraid of being abandoned by the team. Death is even worse, and perhaps there are not even people who collect the corpse.

The bandits of Mengshan retreated!

Of course, it was just to leave the city gate area, and this kind of retreat was obviously to accumulate strength for the next attack, rather than being afraid of Zhao Qian.

Zhao Jin left Li Lizhong to stay at the city gate. This was not only the only passage for Iron Armor to enter Muling Pass, but also the only passage for Zhao Jin to retreat.

Zhao Qian met the guard of Muling Pass on the city tower, the middle-aged man named Niu Dong'an.

Seeing Zhao Jin, Niu Dong'an's face turned pale, his lips trembled a few times before he squeezed out a sentence. "I will meet the prince!"

Zhao Qian also understood Niu Dong'an's complicated thoughts about him. On the one hand, he was grateful to Zhao Qian's source, but on the other hand, he was also afraid of being held accountable.

However, Niu Dong'an was thinking too much, and Zhao Qian was not in the mood to punish Niu Dong'an now. "Niu Dong'an, tell me! What's going on? Why are there only less than fifty people here? Don't tell me that Meng Shan bandits are so powerful, and only half of your camp will be killed!"

Niu Dong'an felt relieved when he heard this and explained with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you don't know anything. Muling Town has a battalion of troops, but that happened a month ago. After Cheng Jinglei's husband was defeated by Mengshan bandits, Jinglei's husband transferred troops from Muling Town to Muling Town. In fact, Muling Town only has three troops, more than 210 people!"

Damn it! I've been cheated!

Zhao Jin originally thought that there were at least 400 people in Muling Pass. Even if some were defeated, there were now 200 people in Niu Dong'an. In addition to the well-equipped 300 iron-armored soldiers, it would not be impossible to defend the North Gate, even if they counterattack Muling Pass.

"Retreat!" Zhao Qian roared in anger.

At this time, Niu Dong'an mustered up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, you can't withdraw!"

"Why can't you evacuate it? It is said that there are two thousand bandits in Mengshan! The king has only three hundred iron armor. Although the north gate is a city wall, it is guarding the outside and not guarding the inner city. How can I defend here?" Zhao Qian wanted to kill Niu Dong'an with one sword now, and at this time he was still chattering.

Niu Dong'an quickly explained: "Prince, Mo General is not afraid of being punished, but Mo General and all his subordinates are in Muling Town! Mengshan bandits do all kinds of evil. If they do not rescue their family, what kind of treatment will they receive? If the generals do not tell me, the prince should know!"

Zhao Qian opened his mouth when he heard this. After a long time, no word was spit out of his mouth. Because Zhao Qian himself didn't know what he should say at this moment.

Needless to say, what kind of thief is Mengshan bandits, it is normal to burn, kill, loot. Their family members lose not only money and food, but also more likely that their wives and daughters will be like that. When they encounter perverts, they may even be able to escape the clutches of their thirties and forties or their 70s and 80s.

Zhao Qian had a headache. When he looked at the other soldiers, he knew that they were unwilling to abandon their families and run away. Does Zhao Qian want to abandon these soldiers?

If you don’t abandon and stay, how can you defend the North Gate?

And how will the soldiers under their own hands view themselves? After all, they trust their own stay, but their compassion may cause them to lose their lives.

How should you choose?
