Chapter 267: The Battle of Lindi River Mouth (4)

"kill--"

After giving the order, Li He took the lead in rushing towards the Lin Hu cavalry closest to him. The Lin Hu cavalry were shocked by the horrific act of Li He's attack, which drove people away five or six feet away. It was not until Li He rushed to the front that these people reacted.

"Kill him!"

The leader of Lin Hu warrior shouted in grassland.

However, Li He's reaction was faster than him. When Li He rode his horse in front of him, he waved his sword and slashed over. The Lin Hu cavalry hurriedly raised his sword to resist.

There was a crisp sound from the ground, and the sword in the hand of the Lin Hu cavalry was blown away by Li He. Even before the remaining force of the sharp sword in Li He's hand was gone, he slashed Lin Hu's face with a sword. The latter had only had time to howl and then fell from the horse's back to the ground.

"Tulu!"

The two Lin Hu soldiers from the side exclaimed, then looked at Li He hatred and attacked Li He together, but saw Li He's shield in his left hand restraining one of them and struggling to slash at the knife in the hand of another Lin Hu.

With a crunch, the knife was cut off by Li He's brute force. Lin Hu shouted in shock in grassland, "How could it be?" and was immediately chopped to the ground by Li He with a sword. Lin Hu, who was restrained by him with his shield, retreated in horror.

After only ten breaths in front and behind, two swords killed two people. What kind of strange power is this?

Lin Hu looked at Li He with fear, but Li He was still a little dissatisfied with him: He was not good at riding a horse. If it were on the flat ground, would Lin Hu, who was restrained by his shield, have no chance to retreat alive? A shield-holding collision would be enough to make the other party lose half of his life.

It has to be said that if he was not good at riding a horse, Li He, who was sitting on the horse, could hardly exert his original strength. If he was on the flat ground, he could easily resist Peng Chou and the two warriors under his command, but now on the horse's back, he thought that as long as three Lin Hu cavalry joined forces to attack him, he would probably reveal his true form.

Fortunately, his terrifying feat when he entered the field shocked Lin Hu. The other party had not yet realized the fact that he was actually not good at riding skills, or had no time to worry about it. After all, under the order of Li He, the five hundred cavalry Liang Qibing had once again launched a capture of nearly a thousand Lin Hu cavalrymen.

At dozens of steps or even closer distances, are crossbows faster or bows faster?

The answer is bow fast.

The Lin Hu cavalrymen who are skilled in bowing and horses can shoot arrows at the enemy in the blink of an eye and lead far in speed. Fortunately, these strange soldiers are old soldiers who have experienced battle formations. Their past experience has taught them the intuition of being good at capturing crises. In addition, they are already familiar with the attack methods of the Lin Hu cavalry, and they always use the round shield about the size of a washbasin on their left arm to protect their faces and throats, making the Lin Hu Qi soldiers on the opposite side unable to kill them in one blow.

As for the arrows in other parts of the body, the Shaoliang soldiers no longer care about it. After all, they are the only existence here who can barely compete with the Lin Hu cavalry.

With a whoosh, Wu Heng, the five hundred surprise soldiers, felt a stinging pain coming from his waist and abdomen.

He knew that he was shot.

The good news is that the armor he once obtained from the Qin general was of good quality. Although it was not as thick as the armor of Wei Wuzun, it finally reduced the power of the sharp arrow, causing the arrow to penetrate the flesh and not to penetrate it.

Perhaps because he had almost never been injured on the battlefield before, even though he had undergone relevant training specifically for training the pain-tolerance of the surprise soldiers, Wu Heng couldn't help but groan.

Then, he cursed in disgrace: "Damn it!"

His 500 generals, the young Liang Qibing soldier, were so distressed because of an arrow?

Even though the battle was urgent at this moment, it was unlikely that it would be enemies or friends to notice it, and he couldn't help feeling a burning heat on his face.

"Die!"

Angry and embarrassed, he imitated Li He's disposal, rode his horse toward a Lin Hu, and chopped the Lin Hu cavalry who had no time to turn his head to the ground.

During this period, many surprise soldiers used similar styles of fighting, because they used crossbows to shoot back the bow of Lin Hu's cavalry at close range, which was a big loss. After all, Shao Liang's surprise soldiers were shooting two arrows, and the opponent could almost shoot three arrows.

Don’t underestimate the difference between this arrow. The Lin Hu cavalry with skilled bows and horses is extremely accurate. Each arrow has a great possibility of killing people.

Some people may say, what if Lin Hu's cavalry shoots fast? Their physical strength supports them to shoot three arrows in a row, and if they die, they shoot four arrows in a row. When these Lin Hu are temporarily exhausted and cannot pull the bow, will the Shao Liang Qishou fight back without any worries?

Theoretically, but the problem is that those Lin Hu cavalry are not fools. After they have temporarily exhausted their physical strength in shooting three arrows, they immediately turned their heads and fled far away. Given the gap in riding between the two sides, the young Liang Qishang, who had just practiced riding, may not be able to catch up, so naturally, don't talk about counterattacks. Even if they barely shoot a few arrows at the Lin Hu cavalry, it depends on the will of heaven, and it is not as easy as the Lin Hu cavalry.

In addition, there is a gap in the number of people between the two sides. There are only 500 cavalry on the Shaoliang side, while there are nearly 1,000 cavalry on the Linhu cavalry here. If you cannot claim to the first to shock these Linhu, the Shaoliang warriors will inevitably gradually fall into a disadvantage in the unfamiliar cavalry and shooting field.

Because of these considerations, those veterans with self-judgment had chosen the most direct method - following Li He, rode their horses to charge towards Lin Hu's cavalry, shot against the opponent's bow, and swung their swords at a very close distance to knock the opponent down.

If it were under normal circumstances, nearly a thousand Lin Hu cavalry would not have been defeated by Shao Liang's cavalry with such a simple trick. Fortunately, the Lin Hu cavalry were shocked by Li He, the "Xia general". In addition, the Shao Liang's cavalry did not care about the injury, which made the Lin Hu cavalry muffled to retreat temporarily.

When Li He slashed a warrior Lin Hu to the ground again, the Lin Hu cavalry who had lost dozens of cavalry could no longer help, and turned their horses to flee far away.

"No need to chase after it."

Seeing Han Yan, Wu Heng and others acted to chase him, Li He immediately stopped him. After all, their purpose was to drive away the Lin Hu cavalry who slaughtered the people of Gaolang, rather than really fighting them to death. With their current cavalry, it was still very reluctant to fight the Lin Hu cavalry.

He looked at the sharp arrow on Wu Heng’s waist and abdomen and asked, “Wu Heng, is that okay?”

"It's just a skin injury, it's not a problem." Wu Heng shook his head, then turned his head and looked in one direction, and whispered: "I lost two brothers..."

As soon as he finished speaking, another young soldier from the horse fell weakly from the horse's back in the distance. Li He and others quickly got off the horse and went to check. Only then did they realize that the veteran soldier was hit by an arrow in his chest, which seemed to be hurt and felt a little exhausted, and even had difficulty breathing.

"Take him back to the city!"

"yes!"

Seeing several surprise soldiers pushing the seriously injured surprise soldier onto the horse and one person was responsible for sending him back to Baiyi, Li He quickly walked to the front of the two Shaoliang surprise soldiers who sacrificed their lives.

It was similar to what he guessed. Both of the young Liang Qibing were unfortunately shot in a critical situation. One was shot in the head and the other was shot in the eye socket. Both were pierced by arrows and killed on the spot.

Although these two were second-stage surprise soldiers, even so, they had experienced the Battle of Hexi and Hedong, and had an old soldier of more than two years of military service. Unexpectedly, they did not die on the battlefield of the Central Plains, where hundreds of thousands of people were often killed by a Lin Hu cavalry.

"Take the bodies of the two of them back first..."

"……yes."

Li He sighed and turned to look at the Lin Hu cavalry who were temporarily escaping.

Of course he knew that it was extremely stupid and irresponsible to let the young Liang soldiers who were first riding on riding to resist those Lin Hu, but as mentioned earlier, these five hundred cavalry and Liang soldiers were the only ones here that could compete with the Lin Hu cavalry.

When he thought of the Lin Hu cavalry like that, there were at least five or six thousand people on the other side, he frowned deeply.

"It would be great if there was a heavy cavalry..." he murmured.

As long as he is given one thousand, no, five hundred heavy cavalry, he promises to defeat the five or six thousand Lin Hu light cavalry on the opposite side.

In Li He's idea, the heavy cavalry was naturally a cavalry covered with iron armor. However, when his Shaoliang was unable to forge strong iron armor for the time being, the heavy armor of Wei Wuzhang could actually be used as a substitute. Therefore, Li He negotiated with Xia Yangjun the transaction of 3,500 sets of Wei Wuzhang equipment the day before yesterday, and was preparing to use some of the armed soldiers to trap the formation, and the other part was used to train heavy cavalry to restrain Lin Hu's light cavalry.

However, time was still too hasty. In order to rescue Gaolang's people, he had no time to form a heavy cavalry.

"Doctor Ziliang."

In the distance, Lin Yuan walked towards Li He with the help of a group of Zhao soldiers.

Li He glanced at Lin Yuan's abdomen and waved his hand first to signal Lin Yuan not to be too polite, and greeted him, "Doctor Lin is okay, right?"

Lin Yuan shook his head, looked at the bodies of at least 200 Gaolang people nearby, and said bitterly: "It's just a small injury, not as much as the pain in my heart..."

As he said that, he pushed Li He away from the side, made a gesture to bow to Li He, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Doctor Ziliang, for leading the help. If it weren't for these hundreds of brave heroes, more people in my Gaolang people would have died."

To be fair, Li He could bear the gift of Lin Yuan as the sacrifice of the two young Liang soldiers, but he still supported the latter and said seriously: "Lin Hu cavalry was only temporarily shocked by us, and will come sooner or later. Please ask Doctor Lin to quickly lead the people across the river."

Lin Yuan also understood that they were just a burden on the Wei and Zhao armies here, so he didn't say much. After expressing his gratitude to Li He again, he left to appease the fleeing people.

Fortunately, there were not many people in Gaolangyi, only about 1,500 people. There were Wei and Zhao troops who restrained Pilou in the south. These Gaolang people finally retreated to Hekou area - because Li He saw the soldiers responsible for the siege behind the rear.

However, what made Li He frowned again was that behind the thousand soldiers who had trapped the formation, there seemed to be several alien cavalry, the largest of which was very similar to Lin Hu, but it felt slightly different.

"Are the Huns?"
