Chapter 22 Against the Cavalry
At midnight, the dynasty pursued cavalry troops arrived outside the town.
The Dynasty army sent a scout team to enter the town, but except for some discarded corpses, the entire town was empty.
Several hours ago, Lin Chuan had given up the defense of the town and led his troops to break south.
"Continue to pursue eastward!" The commander of the dynasty cavalry pointed the sword to the east and ordered.
As the order was issued, tens of thousands of cavalry went east like rolling iron streams, rolling up large areas of smoke and dust.
At this moment, to the south of the town, thousands of Xingtu soldiers led by Lin Chuan were running wildly on the field. The team was stretched very long, and the black battle flag was swept up by the wind.
"Sir, sir." Xiao Zhan, who was in charge of the palace, chased after him from behind.
Lin Chuan stopped running and turned around and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Zhan chased Lin Chuan out of breath, "Sir, a team of dynasty soldiers are chasing us, all of them are cavalry."
"How many people? Where are they?"
Lin Chuan was shocked and hurriedly opened the map.
"About 500 people, the people who are from the Central Army of the Dynasty are the ones," Xiao Zhan replied.
When Lin Chuan learned that this team of cavalry was not a cavalry unit in the Gyeonggi Province, he breathed a sigh of relief. If it were from the Gyeonggi Province, then there must be a large number of troops behind them. Now this enemy army is only about 500, and it should be the search team of the Central Army.
Xiao Zhan asked: "Sir, should we fight or withdraw?"
Lin Chuan frowned, "They are cavalrymen, and we will definitely not run away on both legs. Sooner or later, we will be caught up. Only by destroying them can we escape safely."
"Stop retreating, rest on the spot, and replenish your energy." Lin Chuan turned his head and ordered to Sith.
After the Sith returned to Lin Chuan's command, he had been appointed as the commander of the Thousand-Person Team directly under the Flag Regiment.
As the order was issued, the tired and panting soldiers of Xingtu sat down on the spot like a general amnesty, untied their water bags, and raised their heads to drink.
The several hours of running wildly had consumed most of the Xingtu warriors' physical strength, and Lin Chuan ordered that the weapons and armor be discarded. If the Xingtu warriors had not been strong, they would have been unable to walk long ago.
"The post was doubled, and the scout's investigation scope was expanded by five miles." Lin Chuan did not dare to be careless and ordered Ye Fei.
Ye Fei, commander of the scout Hundreds, responded and arranged for the arrangement.
Soon, the few seized war horses under Lin Chuan took off and headed around.
As the sky became brighter, Ye Fei sent someone to repay him, and the enemy cavalry was already several miles away.
In fact, without Ye Fei reporting, Lin Chuan had already felt the tremor of the earth. From a distance, a large number of black shadows were coming quickly towards this side.
"Array!"
Lin Chuan's pupils shrank slightly, staring at the dynasty cavalry that were getting closer and closer.
Under the command of Xiao Zhan and other officers, the five thousand Xingtu soldiers quickly completed the array, and a huge military formation stood in the wilderness. The Xingtu soldiers held their breath and quietly waited for the order.
The only two hundred longbowmen in the First Flag Regiment looked calm. The soil in front of them was full of arrows. They were now pulling their bows and waiting for orders.
The pursuit came from the Central Army cavalry units affiliated to the dynasty. Unlike the local provincial garrisons, they belonged to the field army sequence and wore golden dragon emblems on their chests.
"stop!"
Three hundred meters away from the Xingtu army formation, Salu, the commander of the 500 cavalry unit, raised his right hand over his head.
The cavalry troops advancing at high speed suddenly stopped without a trace of chaos, showing their excellent horse control skills, and they are well-trained elites.
Lin Chuan looked at all this and was secretly surprised. Xing Tu's army had also had a cavalry unit. Lin Chuan had seen it and was definitely not as good as the elite cavalry of the dynasty in front of him.
Salu was riding on the war horse, quietly looking at the rebels of thousands of people, revealing curiosity in his heart.
Since the Battle of Wangjing, no rebel dared to fight against the chasing chasm. They often fled in all directions when they saw the chasm. Suddenly, they saw a rebel who did not escape. Out of caution, Salu did not launch an attack immediately.
Soon, the scout sent by Salu brought back the news that there was no other hidden rebel army within a radius of ten miles, which made Salu feel relieved.
Although the rebels were thousands and Salu had only five hundred, Salu was not afraid because he was under his command of the Central Army cavalry and the elite of the dynasty.
"Change the lance!" Salu ordered loudly.
The cavalrymen inserted their sabers back into the scabbards, raised the cavalry rifles next to the saddle, and raised them high with a cold light. Suddenly, the cavalry troops were like a steel jungle.
"attack!"
Salula had a mask underneath, pointed at the front of the rifle, and the entire cavalry rushed forward.
"Stay! Stay!" Xiao Zhan held the sword and was located behind the front-line shield soldiers, constantly singing to cheer up the pale Xingtu soldiers.
At this moment, the Xingtu warrior holding a large shield had embedded the shield deeply into the soil for several feet. They all pressed their shoulders tightly on the shield. The Xingtu warrior behind the shield held the spear in his hand tightly.
"Shoot!" Lin Chuan Zhandao under his command.
"Swish swish swish!"
Sharp arrows poured out from the Xingtu army formation, and suddenly burst into blood mist among the Salu cavalry. People were lying on their backs and neighing, and more than a dozen cavalrymen fell to the ground.
The Central Army cavalry rode over the dead soldiers and continued to pounce on the Xingtu army.
In less than a moment, the cavalry rushing towards him at high speed had already crashed into the Xing Tu army's array.
The Xingtu warriors in the front row had their shields shattered, and their bodies flew backwards under a huge impact. With the sound of bone shattering, they had no hope after landing.
The Xingtu soldiers who had not been knocked away were also pierced by the enemy's cavalry rifles, or were raised high. After landing, they were stepped on by the cavalry running from behind and turned into meat sauce.
Salu's rifle pierced the chest of a Xingtu warrior, and the fierce warrior raised his hooves and stepped on it. Another Xingtu warrior who was not anxious to dodge was smashed by the iron hooves with a crack.
"Kill!" Salu shouted with a ferocious expression.
The five platoons of soldiers who broke through Xing Tu's army were barely blocked by the attack of the flesh shield.
"prick!"
Xiao Zhan's eyes were red at this moment, because the five rows of Xingtu soldiers in front had turned into minced meat.
The Xingtu warriors all showed sadness and anger on their faces, and the spear in their hands stabbed out fiercely. The cavalry that had lost their horse speed suddenly became a living target and had nowhere to hide.
"Puff!" Soon, the cavalry rushing in the forefront and the war horses were stabbed into sieve.
"Turn right!" Salu did not see the Xing Tu army who was defeated by the cavalry. Instead, he saw that they had stabilized and blocked his cavalry. Salu saw that the form was not good, so he hurriedly ordered to turn and wanted to protrude from the flank.
But at this moment the cavalry had fallen into the formation, and the cavalry that had lost their speed could not leave. The Xing Tu soldier, who was not dead in the front row, raised the sword in his hand and cut it towards the legs of the war horse.
The Sith led two thousand-man teams directly under the banner regiment to detour from the left and right sides toward the cavalry, blocking the retreat of the Salu cavalry.
"attack!"
Lin Chuan raised his sword and entered the battlefield.
The Xingtu soldiers holding the spears in their hands stepped on the bodies of their comrades and slowly advanced forward. Whether it was the enemy or the war horses in front of Ru Lin's spears, they would soon turn into blood gourds full of holes.
