I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 207 Raiders
Chunwei led the [-] cavalry of his tribe to gallop across the Qianli Plain. Looking at the clumsy cavalry not far away, he couldn't help showing a sarcastic smile.

In terms of cavalry combat, how can the mainlanders living in the Central Plains compare with those who were born on the grasslands and grew up on horseback.

Although the troops were superior, he did not confront these Dagan soldiers head-on, but entangled these Dagan troops like brown sugar. Whenever the Dagan army pursued them, they retreated, because there were infantry, Dagan It was impossible for the army to catch up with them. Instead, they used their riding skills to continuously fly kites.

And if the large army retreats, they will charge up again...

It was really annoying like a fly, making Lin Zhenzhan unable to fight, unable to retreat, and was in an extremely embarrassing situation for a while.

Chunwei was very proud of playing with the large army in his hands. The cavalry behind him were all sons of their tribe, and the loss of one would be a huge loss.

What's more, their task is only to attract a part of the army, and it is enough to weaken the frontal strength of the army.

He believed that those barbarians on the front would easily overwhelm the large army. They could do it in the past if they didn't have the upper hand, and they can do the same now!

So he only needs to wait until the frontal main force of Dagan is defeated, and then join the barbarian Erlang, and attack these turtles in the urn from all sides. At that time, he will be able to win the war with minimal losses.

However, just when he was proud, he suddenly discovered that the partial division of the Dagan army had arrived at the flank of the battlefield, the flank of the barbarian cavalry attacking the Dagan army formation, and the [-] Dagan cavalry had turned their horses around. , slowly approaching the charging barbarian cavalry.

The [-] Dagan infantry have formed an army formation, blocking them and the [-] Dagan cavalry.

If these [-] large cavalry were allowed to rush out from the flanks, the barbarian cavalry would definitely be cut off at the waist, allowing the large army formation to deal with the barbarian cavalry that rushed into the formation, and then form an formation again. Pay the price of countless corpses to rush into the army that strangles you.

"Whose general is this?"

Chunwei looked at the young man in silver-white armor in front of the [-] cavalry, who seemed to be looking at him as well, as if saying——If you don’t come, I’ll leave.

He has fought Dagan for many years and has never heard of such a general.

"The response is so fast!"

"This is forcing us to fight!"

Chunwei narrowed his eyes slightly, a little annoyed, but without hesitation, as he waved his hands, the barbarian cavalry behind him began to run slowly, and soon he could only hear the whistling wind blowing past his ears.

shhhhhh...

What greeted them was the howling sword energy, which was almost a replica of the frontal battlefield. This was the standard tactic of the Dagan infantry when they faced the barbarian cavalry.

Almost the same battle was also fought on the right side of Qianliyuan at the same time. This was the tactic that Lin Qian had arranged long ago.

On the frontal battlefield, the cavalry and pikemen collided with each other, blood and minced meat splashed in the air.

The pikemen in the first row flew into the air like a batted baseball, and died before landing.

There was also a barbarian cavalry strung together with man and horse on his lance.

No flesh and blood in the center of the storm could have survived such an onslaught.

Boom boom boom...

The three rows of pikemen stopped for a moment before being defeated.

But at this time, another wave of sword energy rain and arrow rain fell, clearing a blank space in front of the army formation. At the same time, behind the archers, three rows of pikemen filed out to form a defense line again. They were using their bodies Fight for space for archers and Confucianism cultivators.

The newly formed line of defense was quickly breached again. This time, the barbarian cavalry finally rushed into the archers array as they wished. It was really like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, wantonly harvesting the lives of these archers.

The eyes of these barbarian cavalry are bloodshot. They have done so much and paid such a high price for this moment!
However, sword soldiers and spearmen soon rushed up from behind, entangled the barbarian cavalry, and gave the archers a chance to retreat.

But they had no chance to build a line of defense like before. The large army and the barbarian cavalry were completely mixed together, and a chaotic battle began.

But once they got close, how could the infantry be the opponents of these strong barbarian cavalry? The dry army has collapsed.

Even so, the soldiers on the left side of the army formation have already begun to break up. They are the soldiers recruited from the south this time. Although these soldiers have also fought against the Wu tribe, they are brave fighters, but they are facing even more vicious The barbarian cavalry, they are almost unable to hold on.

The army might collapse at any time, and the situation was extremely critical. With a thought in Lin Qian's mind, a river of awe-inspiring energy appeared out of thin air, and a piece of green copper flew out, shooting towards the barbarian cavalry on the left.

Puff puff……

Like candied haws, the armor of the cavalry was like paper in front of the green copper, with no resistance, and a large number of barbarian cavalry fell to the ground row by row.

This bought precious time for the left-wing soldiers. The left-wing army, which had already been disintegrated, regained some formations under the organization of the generals, but fear once again appeared in their eyes.

Swish!
At this moment, a clear knife light shone from the corner of Lin Qian's eyes.

Like the moonlight at night, this knife light was bright but gentle, as if it was harmless and unobtrusive, but it made Lin Qian's hair stand on end.

Sword Intent, this is a fourth-rank artistic conception warrior!
The next moment, the knife light had already landed on Lin Qian.

puff!
The defensive Confucianism that Lin Qian hastily cast was shattered in an instant. The previously indestructible tree trunk was like paper in front of this clear knife light, and was easily split in half.

However, this moment of blocking also gave Lin Qian time to turn his body sideways. The saber light only left a wound about a foot long on his body, and did not split him in half.

This is a short and rough man. He was mixed with ordinary barbarian cavalry just now. He didn't show the slightest difference even in the face of the rain of sword energy and arrow rain, so that Lin Qian didn't notice when he came to him. .

Swish!
The short and strong man swung his knife again, and another clear light of the knife slashed at Lin Qian.

when!
The knife light collided with the green copper, and after a moment of delay, Lin Qian finally summoned the green copper back.

The moonlight-like knife light was shattered by the green copper. Lin Qian was not an ordinary fourth-rank Confucianist, and this green bronze was not an ordinary Confucianist. This fourth-rank warrior was very strong, but under the green copper, he was still a little inferior one chip.

However, after missing a single hit, the short and strong man had already disappeared from Lin Qian's eyes. After being submerged in the barbarian cavalry, Lian couldn't tell the difference in a blink of an eye.

But Lin Qian knew that he didn't go far, which made Lin Qian dare not act rashly. If he drove the green copper to attack the barbarian cavalry again, he was not sure that he would be able to avoid the man's fatal blow next time.

Without Lin Qian's assistance, the left wing army that had just been organized soon collapsed again. Seeing that the collapse of the left wing would affect the central army, it might cause the entire army to collapse.

Lin Qian looked anxiously at the left and right sides of Qianliyuan...

300 meters... 200 meters...

Chunwei took the lead and rushed to the front. He could already see the fearful expression on the faces of the infantrymen in front of him. He licked his dry lips, and a ferocious smile appeared on his face.

boom!
The flood-like cavalry slammed into the wall formed by the pikemen, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and their lives were lifeless.

Lin Zhen didn't really lead the cavalry back from the flank. There are still more than ten miles away from the frontal battlefield. Even if he goes back, the barbarians will have time to react. The barbarian army intercepted in advance, after all, the barbarians have the advantage in strength.

The [-] infantry he left here will soon be wiped out under the iron hooves of [-] barbarians, and then these barbarians will come from behind Lin Zhen, completely burying Lin Zhen's [-] cavalry.

Of course, if he really fights back, there may be a slight chance to get into the barbarian cavalry who are attacking the Dagan army, but this is a gamble. If you win the bet, you will live, and if you lose the bet, you will die. Not only Lin Zhen died, but even The whole big dry.

So Lin Qian couldn't gamble, and neither could Lin Zhen, so after the barbarian cavalry charged, he brought [-] cavalry and killed them back.

Of course Chunwei saw Lin Zhen who had killed the carbine, but he didn't feel the slightest waver in his heart, because he had already arranged [-] cavalry on the flanks, which was enough to deal with Lin Zhen's cavalry. Now, it depends on his [-] cavalry stepping through There are ten thousand infantry in front of you.

Puff puff……

When the long knife was swung, blood splashed, Chunwei enjoyed this feeling very much.

Originally, he didn't have to pay such a big price, these people forced him, so now he wants to let these people know what cruelty is!
The wild cavalry and the large infantry have been completely integrated, and the contact parts of the two sides are constantly falling down like a meat grinder.

At the same time, Lin Zhen's cavalry on the two wings had also collided with the barbarian cavalry.

At this moment, thunderous hoofbeats sounded from behind the barbarian cavalry!
Chunwei, who was in full swing, turned around in astonishment.

Red flag, black armor, this is a great cavalry!
"But how can there be extra cavalry in Daqian?"

Chunwei's liver and gallbladder were torn, this doubt did not stay in his mind for too long, because he had no time to think about it.

The barbarian cavalry in the rear also heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes, and even the well-trained ones couldn't help but look back, and then they also saw the black red flag and black armor behind them.

Suddenly, the wild cavalry army was in a panic.

Chunwei is worthy of being a battle-tested veteran. After a short period of panic, he swung his knife forward, mustered his inner strength, and shouted, "Boys of Chunyu's tribe, defeat the enemy later!"

At this time, the barbarian cavalry and the Dagan army were completely mixed together. It was impossible for him to withdraw, and it was impossible for them to turn around and meet the cavalry behind under the high-speed charge. The only way out was to cut through the Dagan infantry phalanx. Escape from the rear.

Following his loud shout, the flustered barbarian cavalry suddenly seemed to have a backbone, ignoring the rumble behind them, they all moved forward bravely, and the speed was a little faster, for the only way of life.

However, the unobstructed Dagan cavalry quickly reached the rear of the barbarian cavalry, like a bulldozer, and the five thousand cavalry passed by.

At this time, the nature of war has changed, this is no longer a battle, this is a massacre!

In fact, there were not many cavalry in this team, only [-]. These were the elite that Lin Qian had drawn from the defenders from all over the Hongdu Mansion.

At the right place and at the right time, the five thousand cavalry became a decisive force, defeating the thirty thousand barbarian cavalry in one fell swoop.

The [-] barbarians on the right side of Qianliyuan almost fell into the trap that Lin Qian had arranged for them like a mirror image.

……

"Sure enough, he's still too young!"

Qianli was in the middle of the sky, looking at the barbarian cavalry that had entered the Dagan army formation, and at the Dagan army formation that was about to collapse, Touman chuckled, thinking that he would use 13 troops to resist his 40 barbarian cavalry. It is said that Lin Qian is a good hand in internal affairs, but a complete idiot in battle.

Mao Dun was also a little astonished. Originally he thought that this would be a protracted war, but he did not expect that it would end at the very beginning. It really was an incompetent general who killed the three armies.

I don't know who came up with the idea of ​​having a decisive battle with them. After the war, he really wanted to thank this idiot.

The Dagan army is really about to crumble. The chaos on the left wing has affected the central army, and then the right wing one after another. At this time, the entire Dagan army formation has shown a tendency to collapse, throwing away their helmets and armor, and being treated like a lamb by the barbarians Slaughter was the last straw.

At this moment, Touman's expression in mid-air suddenly changed, he looked to the left of Qianliyuan, and then to the right...

There, two cavalry were chasing.

In the front is a small group of cavalry with only 6000 people fleeing, and in the rear there are about 1 cavalry who are chasing.

What Touman couldn't figure out was that the fleeing cavalry ahead turned out to be barbarian cavalry with yellow flags and yellow armor, and didn't he send [-] cavalry?
Why are there only so few people left?
In the end what happened?
Not only the left side, but also the right side is almost the same scene, making Touman a little suspicious of life, but he quickly sent out cavalry to meet the fleeing cavalry.

Soon, the two sides who were chasing and fleeing appeared on the frontal battlefield.

The advantaged barbarian cavalry still had time to glance sideways, but it was this glance that made them see fear.

I saw the overwhelming red cavalry rushing towards them!
"Ambush?"

This was the first thought that came to the mind of the barbarian cavalry who saw this scene.

There were more soldiers who didn't bother to pay attention to the sound of rumbling horseshoes outside, but they soon realized that something was wrong, because the two cavalrymen on the left and right did not continue to chase the fleeing barbarian cavalry, but turned their horses around. They came straight to the barbarian cavalry who were attacking the Dagan army formation.

One on the left and one on the right, like two sharp knives, inserted into the torrent of the barbarian cavalry, drawing the knife to cut off the water, and cut off the barbarian cavalry at the waist.

It wasn't until this time that the soldiers who were about to collapse realized that their own reinforcements had arrived, and the morale that was about to disappear suddenly recovered a bit.

The barbarian cavalry, on the other hand, was cut off from the rear, and when they suddenly saw the overwhelming reinforcements, they couldn't help but hesitate in their hearts, and the knives in their hands also slowed down. After one ebb and flow, soon, the Dagan soldiers Even launched a counterattack!

Soon, with the assistance of two cavalry reinforcements, the barbarian cavalry who rushed into the Dagan army were wiped out.

After killing the last enemy in front of him, a soldier collapsed to the ground from exhaustion. Looking at the bloody battlefield, he suddenly felt like a dream.

Then there was a maniacal laugh, he survived, he survived!

"What are you laughing laughing?"

"You can still move, get up quickly, line up, line up!"

A slap was slapped on his head, and then the scolding came. Hearing the familiar scolding, the soldier showed a satisfied smile again. Unexpectedly, this old man survived, so good!

The large group of cavalry launched a pursuit to the scattered barbarian cavalry, while the infantry quickly rearranged their formation, preparing for the next attack of the barbarian cavalry.

But the barbarian cavalry is indeed a well-trained elite. Even when they were escaping, they still sent out a part of the cavalry to intercept the chasing cavalry. Farther away, they had slowly opened up the distance and began to reorganize the team, ready to attack again. Launch a charge and teach these big cavalry a hard lesson.

This is the advantage of military strength. Even though they lost a lot of people in the raid just now, they are still in an advantage now!
However, at this moment, Touman's pupils shrank.

On the left and right sides, there are [-] infantry phalanxes forming formations, marching quickly to the frontal battlefield.

He raised his eyes to look farther away, only to see the sky was gray, the wilderness was vast, and he couldn't see anything, but he didn't know if there were more large-scale troops hiding there.

This reminded him of that person ten years ago.

After a little hesitation, he decided to retreat first and make plans after resting.

Now that his 40 troops are here, if the situation just now happens again one or two times, the army is really in danger of being disintegrated. At that time, all of the 40 troops will be buried here, and his barbarians will be unable to go south for decades. Will be counterattacked.

This is the risk of putting all your eggs in one basket, and he dare not bet on it, or in other words, he didn't need to bet on it.

Uh...

The sound of horns sounded from the rear of the barbarian army, and the barbarian cavalry who were about to launch a countercharge looked back in a daze.

This is the signal to retreat.

They could still fight, why did they retreat?

Almost at the same time, the infantry phalanx of Dagan on the left and right had rushed to the battlefield and joined the army formation. With the addition of this new force, the Dagan army formation regained some momentum again.

"Dagan's reinforcements are coming!"

At this moment, the barbarian cavalry generals began to retreat in an orderly manner without any hesitation. They couldn't see how many reinforcements had arrived from Dagan, but they felt a headache when they saw the Dagan army formation that had been re-formed. But it took the lives of countless compatriots to rush in, and now let them do it again, just thinking about it makes their scalps tingle.

Seeing the retreating barbarian cavalry, the Dagan army began to commotion, countless people wept with joy, they actually repelled the barbarian cavalry!
Then all of them looked at the young man standing at the front, and they thought of the [-] barbarian cavalry who were buried here just a few months ago. At this moment, the figure of this young man became Incomparably tall.

However, Lin Qian looked at these guys who were weeping with joy and made the formation a bit chaotic, but thought viciously in his heart, "I still don't have enough practice!"

Of course, such words are not suitable to say now. What he has to do now is to raise his right arm and shout, "Go all out!"

"Everything wins!"

"Everything wins!"

Following Lin Qian's shout, the surrounding soldiers also spontaneously shouted. Slowly, everyone's shouts began to be at the same frequency. The shouts of more than [-] people seemed to merge into one, becoming There was earth-shattering cheers, like thunder exploding behind the retreating barbarian cavalry, which frightened even the horses, and a riot broke out in the orderly retreating team.

Many soldiers became a little downcast. Countless compatriots died in front of their eyes just now, but they died worthlessly.

Touman's expression became extremely gloomy. He could clearly feel that the morale of the army was damaged. On the other hand, the morale of the opponent was booming at this time. This is not a good sign.

Lin Qian was also looking at the retreating barbarian army, and felt a little pity. These barbarians were really born cavalry, and they could still maintain their formation even in a rout retreat, which made him unable to take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Of course, in the final analysis, he still has too few troops. If he also has 40 cavalry in his hands, the barbarian cavalry at this time will not retreat, but break up, but be slaughtered by him like lambs.

Combined with the strength in his hands, Lin Qian was already very satisfied with this result.

He knew from the very beginning that if you want to achieve a goal, you cannot set the final goal as that goal, otherwise there is a high probability that you will not be able to achieve it in the end.

The same is true for wars. If Lin Qian had the idea of ​​defending the city from the beginning, they would not be able to last long. The soldiers are all real people. Facing the siege of the barbarians, even if they can defend the city, their mentality How long can it last?

ten days?a month?three months?

This is not what Lin Qian wants, so Lin Qian needs a victory to tell these soldiers that the barbarians are not invincible. Our current defense of the city is just a temporary plan. When the time is right, we will Launch a counterattack and bite these guys hard.

Moreover, today's big victory will also make the barbarians be wary when attacking the city, making it easier to defend the city, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

Speaking of which, Lin Qian should be very grateful to these gentry in Hongdu Mansion. If they hadn't contributed a lot of land and food, he would not have been able to recruit enough recruits from all over Hongdu Mansion. Naturally, this time would not have happened. The reinforcements of [-] cavalry and [-] infantry appeared on the battlefield.

However, he almost emptied the defense forces in all parts of Hongdu Mansion. If the barbarian cavalry divided up to attack all parts of Hongdu Mansion, it would be a disaster.

I only hope that those newly recruited recruits will have enough courage and determination to protect their homeland!
