Chapter 18 The new army gets its name
In the horse-repelling formation, Zhang Qiang watched the Yuejun cavalry rush towards this side from the gap, and he looked at Zhao Qi behind him in confusion. "Brother, are they still rushing? Aren't they courting death?"

Nervous Zhao Qi patted Zhang Qiang's head and cursed, "You don't care if they die or not, just guard!"

However, when the Yue army in front of the spear point jumped up, they realized that they had underestimated the Yue cavalry.

Zhang Qiang raised his head, his eyes followed the leaping Yueguo war horse past his head, and it was the first time in his life that he saw what the horse's belly looked like.

Zhao Qi stared dumbfounded, he couldn't believe his eyes, actually there were cavalrymen who could leap over eight and a half feet, and not just one cavalryman, but all the Yue troops who came first jumped over.

It was already dawn, and the morning mist had filled the surroundings unconsciously. However, no matter which battlefield was still going on, most of them were exhausted at this time, and it was their thoughts that supported them.

The first platoon led by Zhong Yao had a contemptuous smile on their faces after jumping over the horse-rejection formation. What is the height of eight feet? His new battalion was insurmountable, and everything else was out of the question.

"Don't stop, go forward!" Although Zhong Yao doesn't know how many Sanyuan troops are in front of him now, he can't stop, because the second row of new cavalry will arrive after a while, and then the third row and the fourth row row until the last row.

The battalion commander of the horse-rejecting formation looked at the Yuejun cavalry who had already passed by his formation in disbelief, thinking whether the height of the guns was wrong, but at this time his horse-repelling formation did not dare to make any changes, because there was no change The desperate Yue Kingdom cavalry is rushing towards the rejection horse formation.

The Yue Kingdom cavalry in the second row arrived, and also threw out the torches in their hands first, then accelerated their charge, and jumped up on their horses.

What kind of troops are these! ?At such a height, all members of the Yue army in the second row passed without leaving a single cavalry. The commander of the horse-rejecting camp was shocked again, but what he didn't know was that there were more behind.

The Sanyuan archery team is still shooting at the rear of Zhong Lin's army in turn. Although this shooting method with an increased angle has a longer range, its power has also been reduced a lot, and it is at most a harassment effect.

The bow and archery team drew their bows and shot aimlessly. All of them had already had sore hands and backs, their expressions were numb, and they didn't realize that the danger was quietly approaching.

When the commotion sounded from behind the Sanyuan Bow and Arrow team, they didn't even look back.

With a scream, Zhong Yao's cavalry rushed into the Sanyuan archery team from the rear, and there was a wailing for a while, and many archers died tragically under the hooves of the horses before they understood.

Then the cavalry in the second row also came, and they charged and slashed again. In just a moment, the entire archery team was slaughtered.

Zhong Yao wiped the blood from his sword, his mount hissed and hissed, surrounded by the corpses of the Sanyuan archery team, Xiang Zheng drove his horse to Zhong Yao's side and said, "Brother, it's all settled, what's next? "

Zhong Yao put his sword back into its sheath, and the shouts of killing remained in the distance. He looked at Xiang Zheng and said, "Shoot an arrow, let my father and the others know that the reinforcements are here!"

It was only at this moment that Qi Sheng realized that the rain of arrows that had been passing overhead had stopped. He looked up at the sky, and only one or two arrows passed by.

"Why did the rain of arrows stop in the rear? Could it be that they finished shooting? Impossible!"

Just when he was wondering, a cavalryman came rushing from behind in embarrassment.

"General, it's terrible! The rear has fallen! The archery team has been wiped out!"

Qi Sheng was shocked and said, "How is it possible, rejecting the horse camp?"

"I don't know, but the archery team has been wiped out."

Qi Sheng couldn't believe it, how did the Yue cavalry pass through the horse-rejection formation?

However, he didn't have time to think about it. He said to the cavalryman, "You tell the cavalrymen who are about to charge, turn around and go back to stop the Yueguo cavalrymen behind, hurry up!"

On the frontal battlefield, the Yue army organized by Zhong Lin was already exhausted, but only now did they realize that the shock waves of the Sanyuan cavalry had decreased, and the rain of arrows had stopped.

"General, the enemy's offensive has slowed down!" Li Tong drove his horse and looked at Zhong Lin with great joy.

Zhong Lin was thinking, and muttered to himself, "The arrows are exhausted? Why did the cavalry slow down?" He looked at Li Tong and asked, "This is an excellent opportunity to kill our army. Why did their offensive weaken instead?"

Li Tong thought for a while and replied, "Maybe you are also exhausted?"

Zhong Lin shook his head, "No, their cavalry charge in three shifts, and they have enough rest time."

Just when everyone was puzzled, a rocket rose slowly from the rear of the Sanyuan Army.

"My lord! Fire leads to arrows! It's really the young master's reinforcements!"

Zhong Lin swept away his sorrow, with a smile of the rest of his life on his face. He held up his sword and shouted loudly: "Soldiers, the reinforcements from the rear have arrived! Charge with me, pinch back and forth, and defeat the Sanyuan army in one fell swoop!"

The exhausted faces of a group of soldiers suddenly regained their vitality, and they raised their guns and shouted loudly: "Destroy the Sanyuan army!"

"The shield soldiers of the front army separated and retreated, and the swordsmen and spearmen moved forward to charge towards the enemy's main formation!" As soon as Zhong Lin gave the order, Li Tong rode his horse forward and commanded.

A steady stream of Yue Army cavalry roared past the head of the Sanyuan Rejecting Horse Formation, and the soldiers in the formation did not dare to move, because once the formation dispersed, the Yue National Cavalry could save even this step by leaping, and charged directly. .

When there was no sound above his head, Zhang Qiang looked timidly at Zhao Qi behind him and said, "Brother, there is no movement, has the Yue army passed by?"

"Maybe, anyway, there was no order to stay still."

The Battalion Commander of Juma Battalion wiped the sweat from his brow, let out a long sigh of relief, and finally passed...

Then they didn't realize that the last row of Yue Guo cavalrymen who jumped over did not leave, but turned around and stared at them like death behind Sanyuan Jumaying.

When the battalion commander of the Juma Battalion found the row of Yue State cavalry, he couldn't help exclaiming: "They are still here! The Juma Battalion turn around and come back!"

Marching and fighting, it is difficult to set up an formation and it is easy to break up an formation. At this time, it is not easy to turn around and reorganize. It is even more difficult to operate the cumbersome black iron guns and iron shields. In the constant collision, the scene was chaotic.

Lan Tian, ​​the commander of the second battalion of Yueguo's new battalion, watched the Sanyuan Army's originally magnificent and solid formation collapse in an instant with an expressionless face. Naturally, he would not miss this opportunity.

"Come on, leave no one behind!"

The cavalry around him had to fly out.

Qi Sheng was in a state of disarray at this time, he could have annihilated Yue's army in one fell swoop, but he came to such a place, because all the spies in Yue's country had been arrested before, and he had no idea how many enemy reinforcements had come at this time. No, are there only a few thousand in all, or is there still a large force behind?
"Be careful, general!" A general next to him threw Qi Sheng off his horse, and a spear whizzed by Qi Sheng's side in a matter of minutes, saving his life in a dangerous manner.

The spear was coming from the rear, Qi Sheng got up and looked back, his pupils constricted and he broke out in a cold sweat.

The morning mist slowly dissipated, and half a mile away, a group of Yue Kingdom cavalry was waiting in formation, staring at Qi Sheng's Sanyuan troops like hungry and thirsty blue wolves.

The young man in the lead, about thirty years old, wearing silver armor and red robes, is majestic and majestic. It is Zhong Yao.

Qi Sheng broke out in a cold sweat: "How is it possible? Didn't you send a cavalry team to stop it?"

The Juma battalion, the archery team, and now even the cavalry team sent are gone. How is this possible?

Zhong Yao looked at Xiang Zheng jokingly and said, "It's a step backward, this flying spear is not as accurate as it was during training."

Xiang Zheng's immature face flushed slightly, he lowered his head and said, "Brother, I'm damned, I'm in a hurry to make a move."

"I'm just kidding, why do you think you are so serious?" Zhong Yao patted Xiang Zheng's shoulder and comforted him.

Qi Sheng had remounted his horse at this time, and the Sanyuan army gathered around him. He shouted at Zhong Yao's new battalion of cavalry: "Which troop of Yue Kingdom are you from? Report your name!"

Zhong Yao was taken aback by Qi Sheng's question. Ever since the establishment of the new army, he has always wanted to name the new army, but he never had the chance.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhong Yao seemed to be thinking of something, and took out the golden feather that was confiscated in White Night City from his bosom. He calmly smoothed out the remnants of the feather, and inserted it into the head of his mount.

Then he calmly uttered three words, three words that even the Luo Guoqi Thirteenth Battalion would be terrified of in the future. "Golden Feather Rider."

The morning mist has dissipated, and the new sun is slowly emerging on the high mountain. The first rays of sunlight come from the side, and the golden feathers shine brightly under the sunlight. Although the faces of the new camp soldiers are expressionless, their hearts are boiling of.

Golden Feather Rider, they finally had a name of their own.
