Chapter 315: Collecting Corpses
Sun Ji’s White Horse Crossbowmen, which had been invincible for more than a decade, had only sixty riders left after the summer and before the fall.
In front of blocking the way is Lin Fu under the command of two hundred riders of black foxes, and in the unknown reason in the farther did not show up, only hidden swimming two hundred riders of black foxes.
The tail chasing even more three hundred riders of crows column and four hundred riders of first-class Longguan horse column.
This is in fact the North Mang border horse fences all the assets.
Of course, if you count the North Mang second and third-rate horse fences, the overall strength can be doubled.
Before two decades, the Northern Liang border army crossbowmen totaled more than two thousand six hundred riders, after this battle, once today’s Sun Ji’s department was completely wiped out, then there will only be Li Hanlin and Wei Tuimu two lieutenants under the command of a thousand riders out of the strength.
Suddenly, at the moment when Lin Fu’s Black Fox Fence had already unknowingly arrived at the edge of the Dragon’s Eye Plain, the sixty-odd-rider White Horse Crossbowmen turned their horses’ heads and did not continue to try to break out, but instead turned their backs to Hutou Castle, Liangzhou, and Beiliang.
When the Northern Liang crossbowmen collectively made this unthinkable action, although Yelu Chucai realized that something was wrong, he did not stagnate his attack in the slightest and took the lead in charging over. In his opinion, even if the next change outside of this battlefield occurs, as long as he is able to swallow this remnant of soldiers, there is certainly no mistake that
Brother-in-law Dong Zhuo has a catchphrase, saying that the good things under the sky, only really in the bag, become their own bag of goods, is really good things, otherwise close to the things even better, as long as did not get to the hand, are all for nothing.
Close riding battle, Liang Mang cavalry are tacitly draw their swords to face each other.
Just at this moment, two horns from different places whimpered, majestic and sad. It seemed to be honoring the dead, honoring those robes who lost their heads in every corpse.
In the battle of the scouts, the horns should not have appeared on the battlefield.
Lin Fu and Yelu Chucai, the two main generals of Horse Fence, followed the sudden sound of the horn and cast their sights to different places.
Lin Fu looked to the far right flank, where a cavalry army, drenched in blood, came galloping in.
A Bei Liang stout riding general raised the head of a Bei Mang horse fencer high and roared, “Bei Liang Traveling Crossbowman Wei Musheng is here! Two hundred Black Fox Fencemen are dead!”
And as far as Yelu Chucai’s eyesight could see, it was a solemn cavalry army numbering around five hundred, breaking through the yellow sand and dust and galloping in.
A young cavalry general at the head silently recited, “Captain Sun, according to the agreement, I, Lin Hanlin, will kill all the Crow Fence Zi for you.”
The several riders around him were all the robes and swordsmen who had killed the Southern Dynasty’s Junzi Pavilion military town together back then, pulling down countless Northern Mang beacons and flints along the way, heavy pupil Lu Dou, Li October, and Fang Hu Tou.
Lin Fu and Yelu Chu Cai at this moment know, not to mention the Longguan scouts, just say their crow fence and black fox fence, even if they encountered other large-scale Beiliang iron horsemen, even tens of thousands of men and women of the powerful Beiliang light cavalry border army, the two horse fence can be a peaceful retreat.
Unfortunately, only met those two white horse travel crossbowmen, can not go away, can not retreat.
Yelu Chucai turned his head to look at a standard of strange horse fences interspersed in his side’s cavalry army, they did not carry bows and swords, and did not even wear armor, and did not make a move at all during the period of hunting down Sun Ji’s crossbowmen.
It was because they were martial artists of Tibing Mountain, one of the five major clans in North Mang, and were the personal escorts sent to him by Tibing Mountain’s son-in-law, i.e., brother-in-law Dong Zhuo.
This group of deeply hidden jianghu experts was also the basis for his daring to lead his army close to Tiger Head City.
Yelu Chucai’s original intention was to not want these jianghu people to get involved in the battle on the sand, but now it seems that if they don’t, his brother-in-law’s crow’s fence is definitely going to be greatly injured.
Without the need for verbal exchanges, Lin Fu led two hundred Black Fox Ravens to meet Wei Musheng’s White Horse Crossbowmen, and Yelu Chucai led his troops to Li Hanlin’s five hundred horsemen of the Guanwai Crossbowmen.
The four hundred Longguan scouts were responsible for eating up the remnants of the sixty-horse Sun Ji’s troops, and then reinforcing the Black Fox Fence, whose strength was temporarily at a disadvantage.
Once a Liangzhou main force border army rushed to this place and put into the battlefield, the North Mang three horse fences of course, at great loss will also quickly withdraw.
But now, in this kind of contact battle with equal strength, even though it was clear that the three White Horse crossbowmen had joined hands to create a dangerous situation of counter-ambush, Lin Fu and Yelu Chu Cai were still unwilling to retreat.
Lin Fu led two hundred Black Fox Fence to head on into Wei Musheng’s crossbowmen, during which time he glanced back at Hu Tou City.
Lin Fu waited and saw.
The mantis was catching the cicada and the yellow finch was at the back, but he didn’t know that there was still a slingshot underneath.
Now it was time to see who would have the last laugh.
Unsurprisingly, in today’s battle, one side of the border scouts would definitely die at the border.
Lin Fu’s benefactor Liu Gui, as one of the four first-line generals of the second Liangmang battle, cantonment in the far away from the Liangzhou battlefield outside the gourd mouth of Youzhou, to prevent a repeat of the past, and therefore belongs to the distant water that can not quench the thirst of the Liangzhou Pass near, the reason why Lin Fu this big hunt to pull up Yelu Chucai’s raven fence, one wants to wrap dumplings to eat Sun Ji Department of the travelling crossbowmen, relying on only the Black Fox Fence and the Longguan Scouts is a fool’s dream, and secondly, Lin Fu Ambitious, intentionally give the military credit to Yelu Chucai, more in order to befriend and show goodwill to the outgoing king of the South House of Dong Zhuo, in order to persuade that do not see the rabbit does not spread the eagle of Dong fat man out of the eight thousand Dong family private cavalry, distantly followed in the back of the horse fences, as a way to target the outside of the Liangzhou Pass may be quickly put into the Longyan child plains of the field cavalry, such as the back of the city of Huotou two wings of the willow buds Poria’s military town of the cavalry, in order to seek the great war before the start of the first! The king was not only the first to be able to report to the king, but also the second to be able to report to the king. Lin Fu in the previous battle had to be open to the Northern Liang Sun Ji head hands, his Black Fox column from beginning to end are like in the wall, Dong Zhuo once laughed in the face of Lin Fu is not afraid of the basket of water is empty, so much trouble, in the end, are his brother-in-law’s military achievements. Lin Fu this bluntly, since Liang Mang both sides want to be on the border line through a one-off annihilation of the enemy scouts, the opponent completely hit into the blind, Lin Fu believe in their own intuition, I believe that the family base is not thicker than their own side of the Liangzhou border army, will not let hundreds of crossbowmen die in the eyes of the once implicated in the main cavalry army of the Northern Liang admission, then the war is the general of the sky is the great.
But Lin Fu some regret, only Dong Zhuo is willing to accompany him on the gambling table, but when he went to meet with the section order Murong Baoding and Zojiran Iron Cavalry co-owner Hong Jingyan, trying to persuade them together to start this very likely to trigger the Liang-Mang war early magnificent hunting, unexpectedly with Dong Zhuo with the main attack on the Liangzhou defense line of Murong Baoding even scoffed, Hong Jingyan hesitation, and finally with the Zojiran Iron Cavalry temporarily under the jurisdiction of the order of the Murong section order, the latter did not give military orders, but the latter did not give military orders. The latter did not give military orders, Zojiran iron horsemen will not be suitable for unauthorized mobilization, lightly start the end of the war, so as not to miss the southern expedition strategy of the Taiping order.
As the Black Fox and White Horse crossbowmen got closer and closer, Lin Fu suddenly saw a funny scene, Captain Wei Musheng’s horse was followed by a child who could barely be called a teenager, riding a big horse, like a big horse carrying a small piece of black charcoal. The child did not wear the Northern Liang standard light armor of a crossbowman, did not hang a pendant but carried a Liang sword, looked very absurd, Lin Fu of course would not think that the Northern Liang iron cavalry has been so short of soldiers to such a point, because in the first battle of Liang-Mang, rumor has it that there was a juvenile cavalryman who followed the Northern Liang King Xu Fengyen to fight outside the Hulukou in Youzhou, killing people like hell, killing hundreds of people with his two-fisted whacks. Lin Fu suddenly realized, no wonder that none of the Black Fox column survived to report, nine times out of ten was intercepted and killed by this person. Lin Fu dare not have the slightest carelessness, immediately like a big enemy, charging route intentionally or unintentionally avoid that back sword child.
On the battlefield on Yelu Chucai’s side, a standard of more than 50 people Tibingshan Wu Fu steered his horse in the lead, and pounced on Li Hanlin, the captain of the crossbowmen, with his head.
Li Hanlin did not change his route, straight forward.
In the past, that young man who was scolded as the four evils of Beiliang together with His Highness the Prince, Yan Chijie, and Kong Wuzhi, that anointed son who thought he would spend his life frolicking in flowers, that still handsome face, no longer see the sickly whiteness of the year, slightly tanned, with sharp edges and corners.
In three years, he from the Liangzhou pass outside the crossbowman bottom layer of cavalry, Wu long, standard long, deputy lieutenant, lieutenant, step by step to do today’s lieutenant, leading the world’s most invincible eight hundred horse white horse crossbowman.
His robe, his old captain, old standard captain, old lieutenants, in a small and large battles, in front of the eyes of this young man, whose father was the official of the Beiliang Road, the Secretary General.
The familiar faces of the earliest military together, only three people left Lu Dou, Li October and Fang Hu Tou.
Remembering the first time he met Nian, who had returned to the Qingliang Mountain King’s Mansion from the Jianghu in Liyang, Li Hanlin was still longing for the Jianghu, listening to Xu Fengnian’s anecdotes about the martial arts, the warrior’s style, the fairy’s charm, and the master’s demeanor, he regarded it as the greatest regret in his life that he had not traveled to the Jianghu.
Later, he came from the rich Lingzhou in the south of the Yangtze River to the unfamiliar Liangzhou Pass, the vision, only a military town beacons and flints, covered with yellow sand, hot and waterless Gobi Beach, it is difficult to see the green of the tenacious vegetation, the stench of the horse manure, the side of the saber and crossbow only three things depend on each other for their lives.
Li Hanlin exhaled heavily, “Lu Dou!”
Heavy pupil Lu Dou nodded, expressionless, and took the lead in charging out of the cavalry formation.
At the same time, a rider also followed with a fast horse.
It was actually a young girl swordsman who did not fit in with the White Horse Traveling Crossbowmen, and she was very heroic, the kind of woman whose posture was not too outstanding but could still make people’s eyes light up.
The young girl carried a lot of swords.
After she became the personal escort of the lieutenant Li Hanlin, this period of time naturally attracts a lot of attention, but when she heard that she is the king’s great disciple, all the white horse crossbowmen no longer dare to joke around, the nickname of the sword girl no one yells, there are a few young crossbowmen are even a little bit disillusioned.
The young girl swordsman named Wang Sheng turned her head and looked at Li Hanlin.
Li Hanlin returned a smile, his eyes signaling that she herself would not forget her master’s advice.
After the old Northern Mang woman threatened to let the Northern Liang crossbowmen die out, especially since the legend said that she had also specifically mentioned his name, Li Hanlin, in the temple hall in front of the entire court, Xu Fengyin quickly let Wang Sheng enter the crossbowmen to temporarily serve as a scout, and sent a message to Li Hanlin.
That sentence had nothing to do with grandiose words, nothing to do with swashbuckling.
“Don’t die easily.”
The implication was that he, Li Hanlin, could die when it was time to die, but he must die well.
Li Hanlin does not feel that there is anything wrong with this sentence, on the contrary, accustomed to the military career has seen a lot of life and death of the tour crossbowmen lieutenant, feel that this kind of words, only to stand up to their twenty years of brotherly love.
Sun Ji, I Li Hanlin today to collect your body.
If I die, Brother Nian, I don’t need to trouble you to collect my body.
The whole body will be affected by this.
Liangmang each used their own scouts as bait.
Yuan Nanting led 10,000 White Feather Guards and Qi Dangguo led 6,000 Iron Floaters. In accordance with the established strategy of the Huai Yang Guan Capital, they entered the Dragon’s Eye battlefield one after the other.
Eight thousand of Dong Zhuo’s elite private cavalry and six thousand of Hong Jingyan’s iron cavalry, who had changed his mind for some reason, also rushed to the battlefield one after the other.
This encounter, which had been planned by both the enemy and the enemy and had many variables, happened so suddenly that no one was taken by surprise.
Murong Baoding’s army was not able to reinforce him, and the Northern Liang cavalry in the two military towns of Liu Bud and Fu Ling were also unable to reinforce them.
The dilapidated tiger head city, the brand new Xu word king flag on the city head, hunting.
The clumps of summer grass that spent the spring in the cracks in the city, green and green, the autumn wind does not arrive not withered and yellow.
