Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 210 Victory in defeat 1
  The crowd galloped all the way north, passing Yulin Fort, and pursued them to Shifangsi Fort without seeing the large Tatar army. Along the way, they only killed three to five hundred scattered Tatars who had fallen behind.

Jia Cong reined in his horse in front of the Shifang Temple Fort and frowned: "The Tatars have abandoned their baggage now and their riding skills are good, but it is difficult for us to catch up."

Sun Chi nodded and said bitterly: "It's better to let go and chase for thirty miles. Anyway, the Tatars have been defeated. Even if there are fewer people, it won't be a big deal. If you can kill every one more, count them all."

Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said, "Okay!"

"Sir, the Tatar army just passed by half an hour ago." You Jiaxi and Yu Hong, who were guarding the city, saw Jia Cong's banner and hurriedly came out to say hello.

Jia Cong's eyes lit up, there was still something to play.

"Chase!" Sun Chi raised his gun and roared, lightly clamping the horse's belly. As if sensing his master's eagerness, the Hokage let go of his hooves and rushed out like a cloud. Dozens of royal guards rushed to catch up.

"Let's go too!" Jia Cong waved his hand and led Buqu to go.

Now that they were free to run, the cavalry formation gradually became looser. Jia Cong and Sun Chi ran to the front, followed by Wang Jin and others, as well as the palace guards and Jia Cong's own soldiers, who also rode good horses.

Following behind were the fine prairie horses that Jia Cong had snatched or bought, and there were also hundreds of them. Finally, there was the main army of more than 10,000 people led by General Xu Biao.

Seeing that there was no one in sight, Xu Biao secretly thought that something was not right. If His Highness the Prince was up to anything, his head would definitely fall to the ground. He hurriedly hit the horse with all his strength and shouted: "Quick, quick, quick! Even if the horse runs away, you can chase it to Your Highness." !”

"Yes!" the sergeants shouted loudly, raising their riding whips and lashing the strong horse's buttocks hard.

Under hard pressure, the speed of the army really increased.

Ahead, Jia Cong and others crossed the Shifang Temple Fort and pursued them for more than ten miles. They had entered the Liaohetao area, which was no longer the territory of Wu.

But the surrounding terrain was flat, and the reeds and weeds were extremely tall and dense, reaching up to the top of the horse. There was no smoke in all directions, except for the rustle of the wind and the vegetation.

"What is this place?" Jia Cong asked.

"This is Liaoze. Because the terrain is flat and low-lying, the water flow slows down, the river bed is wide, and the river overflows, forming a large area of ​​rivers and lakes and swamps. In spring and summer, it is impassable and breeds snakes and insects, making it difficult to cultivate. Therefore, the border residents have long been Move elsewhere.

Only in late autumn, when the swamps dry up and freeze, can the Tatars easily cross the border wall. "Wang Jin explained.

Suddenly, a group of people and horses were vaguely visible in front of them, surrounded by a large banner. The flag was spread out and eight streamers were dancing in the wind.

Sun Chi was overjoyed and shouted: "The Tatars are right ahead, chase after them!" After saying that, he rode Juechen and rushed out.

Eh! Jia Cong noticed something was wrong and waved his hand to stop him, but before he could make it in time, dozens of riders rushed out with a whoop.

damn it! Jia Cong cursed secretly and rushed forward with his men.

Bayin stood on horseback under the banner, with only two or three thousand people around him. When he saw Sun Chi and his men rushing up, not only did he not panic, but he showed a sinister smile. With a wave of his hand, his subordinates waved the other two banners.

To the left and right of Jia Cong and others, thousands of Tatars mounted their horses from the grass and surrounded them, cutting off their retreat. The Tatars in front also rushed back, and hundreds of horsemen were trapped in the three-way attack.

Jia Cong heard the sound of hoofbeats behind him. The secret path was bad, the Tatars were cunning, and the big banner was obviously a bait! The Tatars were defeated without chaos, and they still had time to set up a triangular ambush formation for themselves and Sun Chi!

Wang Jin and others also knew that something was wrong, and while charging, they asked: "Sir, what is the best way to survive now?"

Seeing that the pursuers behind him still had two arrows to shoot, Jia Cong thought for a moment and made a decision, because he shouted: "Capture the thief first, capture the king! Follow me to defeat the enemy, kill the thief chief, and the enemy army will be in chaos!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in a loud voice, speeding up again and rushing forward.

Now the only way to survive is from the front. Since the Tatars have set up an ambush, they must consider that everyone can turn around and break out. Therefore, the Tatars must have heavy troops to block them from behind, so the resistance from the front will be much smaller.

Bayin was a little surprised when he saw Jia Cong and others threatening to kill. Four to five hundred cavalry attacked three thousand cavalry. How could the Han people have the confidence?

While Bayin was thinking, the enemy and ourselves had collided hard.

Sun Chi shouted loudly and used his horse power to charge forward, killing several knights in an instant. The guards from the royal palace firmly protected his wings.

However, the Tatars were powerful, and everyone immediately fell into a hard fight.

But seeing that there were Tatars on all sides, they could not be killed, and the palace guards fell one by one, and there was no conflict, Sun Chi gradually became irritable. kill! Suddenly, I heard Jia Cong shouting loudly, and he led his men to rush to kill him.

Under the charge of more than ten fierce generals such as Wang Jin, Zhang Yuanba, Deng Lei, Su Can, and Kong Xing, the Tatars could not resist, and Jia Cong rushed to Sun Chi's side in an instant.

"Well done!" Sun Chi was overjoyed. He summoned up his strength and flew several Tatars to join Jia Cong.

"Commanders, follow me to kill the enemy chieftain!" Jia Cong roared, and led the people to kill him without caring about anything, looking at the big banner.

Everyone knew that this was a last-ditch battle, and they all risked their lives to fight.

The Tatars were already exhausted, but now seeing the ambush, the Han army became more brave and timid. They were unable to stop them. In a moment, the defense line was torn open, and the big banner was exposed in front of Jia Cong and others.

"Quickly stop them!" Bayin was a little flustered and hurriedly directed hundreds of Tatar guards to come forward.

Jia Cong and others broke through the obstruction and went straight to Dahu to kill.

"Quickly, shoot the man in gold armor!" Bayin shouted.

Suddenly I heard the clanging sound of bowstrings and they joined together.

Whoosh whoosh! The shrill sound of arrows piercing the air sounded.

Two black masses of arrows hit from the front and back directions at the same time.

"Spread out!" Jia Cong roared, dancing with his big gun so that it was weatherproof, and firing arrows. Zhang Yuanba hurriedly took the big shield from his back, raised his right hand high to cover Jia Cong's back, and at the same time raised his copper hammer to cover his head and face.

Everyone hurriedly scattered and separated, it was too late.

The knight screamed in agony, the war horse screamed, and more than a hundred horsemen were shot to the ground in an instant.

Puffy!
  The Tatars controlled the horses with their legs, bent their bows and arrows again, and the second round of arrow rain came.

The Tatars' riding and shooting skills were finally fully demonstrated at this time.

Jia Cong ignored his heartache and stared at the big banner in front of him. He just rushed forward. As long as he broke through the resistance of the last few hundred people, he could kill the general and seize the flag.

"Your Highness!"

"Your Highness!"

Suddenly hearing several miserable screams, Jia Cong glanced at Sun Chi and saw him lying on his horse. He had already been shot by seven or eight arrows and turned into a hedgehog. He had rushed the fastest just now, and he was being taken care of intensively, so he was finally unable to resist.

"Brother Chi!" Jia Cong shouted in a panic.

Whoosh whoosh! The arrow rain comes again.

"Go rescue His Highness, and I'll charge into the formation!" Wang Jin yelled, speeding up in front of Jia Cong, and charged directly towards him with Deng Lei, Zhang Yi, Kong Xing and others and Bai Shiqi.

"Third Master, be careful!" Zhang Yuanba swooped over, riding alongside Jia Cong, holding a large shield on his head like an umbrella, and the arrows fell like rain on banana trees.

"Protect him!" The four or five palace guards did not have time to check Sun Chi's condition, and at the same time they opened their arms and rushed towards him, using their bodies as shields to cover him completely.

Puff puff! Several guards were immediately killed by random arrows and did not move even an inch until they died.

Jia Cong felt pain in several places on his body. He knew he had been hit by an arrow and had no time to check. He rushed towards Sun Chi and pushed away the two guards. When he saw Sun Chi lying on the horse, looking at him with bared teeth, he felt relieved and said: "Brother Chi, are you okay?"

"It's okay. Fortunately, I'm wearing soft gold armor, so the arrowheads don't penetrate deep into the flesh!" After speaking, he gritted his teeth and pulled out the arrow shafts one by one.

"Hurry, come with me and kill him, otherwise you will have to answer the question here today!" Jia Cong roared.

"Let's go!" Sun Chi took a breath, pushed away his guards, and rushed out with Jia Cong.
