Hearing Sande's words, Li Fan shook his head and said, "Brother Sande! Just hundreds of horse thieves! Such a small number of people are going to retreat. What if they encounter rebels in the future? What if they encounter a stronger enemy?

We are Your Majesty’s royal postmen. If you retreat, you will be afraid of horse thieves. Don’t talk about you and me at that time, even Your Majesty will suffer from facial damage…”

Hearing the word "Your Majesty", Sande's face became a little panicked. Originally, he thought that the military funds in the car were important and could not be destroyed at all.

But it was related to Comrade Xiao Zhu's face, Sande was uneasy and gritted his teeth and said, "Damn the horse thief! The zodiac family is very hard-working!"

Li Fan patted Sande on the shoulder and said, "I've fought with them? That's why I respect them, just a few horse thieves!

I always feel that what these thieves say is untrue. Brother Sande will question them again?"

"Okay! They will hand it over to the Zajia family. The Zajia family must tell them to wet the bed at the age of time!"

Sande and a few people escorted the strong man found in the crowd and walked into a car array. Soon after, a heart-wrenching scream came from it.

Li Fan's eyes swept across the postmen's body, and he saw it with excitement, expectation, bloodthirsty, but no fear.

Nodded with satisfaction, Li Fan ordered: "Put on armor!"

The soldiers cheered, took off the plate armor that was as smooth as a mirror from the car, and helped each other to wear it.

...

"The head of the family! Why haven't the signal been sent yet? Will Xiaoqi and the others fail?" A ponytail spoke in the woods not far away.

The leader of the horse thief sitting on a large stone had his eyebrows twisted into the character Sichuan, as if he had not heard his subordinates speak, and his eyes looked into the distance.

After a long time, he suddenly stood up from the big stone and said, "No more wait! We have already broken a few brothers and we must kill the dog official no matter what.

Otherwise, if the young master blames us, we will be completely finished! Call all the brothers! Let’s go and meet the dog officials for a while!"

The horse thief resting in the woods moved, put the saddle he removed again on the back of the war horse, and grabbed the beans and placed them in the mouth of the war horse.

After all this, the horse thieves turned over and rushed out of the woods and began to gather on the official road.

...

"Here you come!" Qi Jin shouted, pointing to the smoke and dust rising in the distance with his hand.

Li Fan held the telescope sent back by Comrade Xiao Zhu and looked in the direction of the rolling smoke and dust. The war horse stepped on the ground, like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

Is this the cavalry rushing?

Li Fan saw it very clearly. The horse thief who rushed in the front almost stuck together. There was almost no gap between the two adjacent horses, as if they could crush any object.

Facing the horse thief running towards him, Li Fan was a little moved. No wonder the Eighteen Thieves in Taihang were the most famous in this area. With this cavalry rushing forward, even weaker officials could be dispersed by them.

However, they met royal postmen, who had been training for several months and had long been eager to fight.

"Arrow formation is ready!" With a command from Li Fan, three hundred postmen holding steel crossbows stepped forward to form the formation. The steel crossbow in his hand pointed at the horse thief in a diagonal manner, waiting for the next order.

The horse thief was getting closer and closer, and the ferocious faces of the horse thieves could be seen. When the horse thief entered the fifty-step range, Li Fan issued an order to attack.

"put!"

With a command, hundreds of sharp arrows cut through the sky and shot at the thief who was running towards the horse and thief. He shot the steel crossbow in his hand at the empty hand, and the postmen immediately turned around and walked to the last row.

The second row of postmen stepped forward to make up for the position, aimed at the horse thief in front, and pulled the trigger again. After the third row of shooting, the first row of shooters had reloaded the crossbow arrows and aimed at the horse thief again.

Similar to the three-stage attack arrow formation, Li Fan wanted to prepare for the musket formation. Once the musket can be produced on a large scale, it will soon form combat power.

The Fifth Head of the House, who was originally full of confidence, couldn't help but curse loudly when he saw the fully armed postman.

He had never seen a postman wearing such exquisite armor. Facing the iron canned plate armor, the fifth leader almost burst into tears.

With a hint of luck, he continued to order an attack, just to use the impact of the war horses to disperse the postmen.

If his plan could be successful, he could not only take revenge, but also gain a large number of excellent armor. If he obtained these armor, no one would want to control himself.

But what he bumped into was like endless arrows. The horse thief with only one cotton coat on his body was shot down in the first round.

Before they could react, the second round of arrows arrived again. After two rounds of arrows, the horse thieves no longer wanted to attack the postmen's chariot formation, they just wanted to escape.

At this time, no one's orders worked. The horse thieves, who had suffered more than half of the casualties, completely broke up! They all stopped the war horses and hurriedly turned around.

Li Fan saw all this, and he didn't expect that the aggressive horse thief would be so cowardly.

The plan to shoot another round was stopped, and Li Rusong immediately ordered to attack. More than 200 cavalrymen who had been impatient had moved, and they rushed out of the chariot formation and killed the horse thief who was turning around.

Li Rusong held a steel crossbow in his hand, feeling the ups and downs of the war horses, staring at the target surrounded by more than a dozen horse thieves.

That's now!

Li Rusong decisively pulled the trigger, shot out the crossbow arrow, put away the steel crossbow, and pulled out the saber to kill the enemy.

"Kill!" With a loud shout, Li Rusong was the first to crash into the end of the horse thief team. He raised his sword and slashed the last horse thief under the horse, and then killed another enemy with one backhand.

As the killing rose, Li Rusong forgot where he was, and only the enemy was left in his eyes. He kept slashing and slashing, not caring about the steel knife that the enemy cut at all.

I don’t know how many enemies I killed, but Li Rusong suddenly felt that his eyes were empty and there was no enemy in front of him.

It was not until this moment that Li Rusong woke up, quickly pinned his horse, turned around and saw a group of blood-filled cavalry.

Without even wiping the blood stains on his body, Li Rusong slowly raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Royal Postman! Wan Sheng!"

The postman who followed him to rush to the formation also raised his sabre and roared that shocked the sky: "Wansheng!Wansheng!Wansheng...!"

In this battle, the postmen won a great victory, hundreds of horse thieves were almost wiped out, and very few could escape.

The fifth leader was shot to death by Li Rusong with an arrow. The remaining horse thieves dismounted and knelt down and surrendered when they saw that they had no hope of escaping.

Because they consumed a lot of horsepower when they came, those who wanted to escape did not escape from Li Rusong's pursuit. Only a few people crawled into the woods and escaped.

In this battle, 237 horse thieves were killed, 123 prisoners were captured, and more than 190 horses were seized. The remaining horse thieves who escaped did not dare to stay. The Eighteen Thieves in Taihang who had suffered for many years were completely wiped out.
