Late Tang

Chapter 71

Thank you (Scarecrow) for your reward, today is the third update, and the first update is here!

The three cavalry rushed past, and Xiao Shitou and Xi Gouzi rushed over with a dozen united soldiers.

"Stick!" Xiao Shitou, who had become the leader of Xiao Banyue's gang, roared. When they were ten steps away from the Goguryeo warriors, they had already stopped and lined up in three neat rows, advancing like a wall.

At a distance of ten steps, the spears of the united soldiers could not pierce the Goguryeo warriors.But the united soldiers did not stand still. After the first row stabbed out, the second row started to step forward and then stabbed again, and then the back row advanced to the front to stab out. In this way, the order was exchanged, and the rows continued to advance.The Goguryeo warriors had no armor or long soldiers, and only had a ring-headed sword in their hands.

In terms of actual combat experience, or in terms of personal combat effectiveness, except for officers such as Lin Wei, Li Jing, and Wang Zhong, none of the other officers on Li Jing's side were as good as those warriors who drank blood all the year round.In a melee, a Goguryeo warrior can definitely single out three united soldiers.But Li Jing's three guerrillas on horseback forced them not to disperse, and now the united soldiers advanced in rows, seeing the rows of sharp spears approaching continuously, they had nothing to do.

Feng Liang held the ring-shou knife like a mad bull, and shouted: "Kill one to earn money, kill two to earn one, uncle, let's fight them!" Feng Yanqing grabbed Feng Liang: "It's no time, and I'm still only thinking about desperately, go, run separately, and run away one by one. If you stay here, you won't even want to live."

Feng Yanqing had already estimated the result of this battle in his heart, nine of them had already died, two were seriously injured and two were slightly injured.Excluding the two who were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness, now including him, there are only 13 people on their side, one of them is an old coachman, and the other is him, a civil servant with little combat effectiveness.But the opponent has nearly 30 people, not only armored spears, but also horses.

Fighting like his nephew Feng Liang, there is no point at all, except that he can pull a few backs when he dies.Instead of waiting to die, it is better to run now and run separately. The other party only has three horses, and maybe a few can be escaped.

After finishing speaking, Feng Yanqing didn't care about Feng Liang any more, and just took Gao Che and ran towards Xiaohe.Seeing this, the others also dispersed in a crowd.These Goguryeo warriors used to rely on hiring to fight for a living. Not only could they fight, but they also ran faster.Once he decided to run away, there was no hesitation at the moment.Feng Liang hesitated for a moment, his surroundings had already run away, leaving only two seriously injured and unable to move.

Feng Liang looked left and right, and finally ran in the direction of Penglai City.

The three of Li Jing had already turned back at this time, and seeing that the Feng family's uncle and nephew had no intention of fighting to the death, they breathed a sigh of relief.In this ambush, Li Jing's goal was to kill Uncle Feng Liang.But the twenty Goguryeo warrior guards of the Feng family were an accident. Li Jing brought nearly 40 people, but he was absolutely unwilling to fight head-on with these guards in the end.These 30 people are either brothers or fellow countrymen, each of them is his most reliable force now, and he is absolutely unwilling to be hurt here.And once someone dies in battle, it is possible to cover up one or two deaths.In case of many deaths, how to return to the camp to confess?Even if no one knows about his killing of Feng Yanqing at that time, but so many of his subordinates suddenly disappeared, it is absolutely impossible for him to go around.

From the very beginning, he asked Lin Wu to take ten people who knew horsemanship to hide aside, and he never let them out except for the initial ambushe with shooting arrows.One is to let them serve as a reserve team and invest in critical moments.The second is to let them maintain their physical strength, so that they can chase the escapers when they are in critical condition.But another biggest reason is that Li Jing didn't want to show all his strength to Uncle Feng Liang at once.If Li Jing and the others pull out all their strength at once, if Feng Yanqing sees that Li Jing and the others still have fourteen knights, then seeing that Feng Yanqing has no hope, she might fight to the death with Li Jing break.

A group of Goguryeo warriors who are determined to die will definitely cause a lot of damage.At that time, there will definitely be casualties on Li Jing's side.

There is a saying in the book of war that a besieged city must be quelled.The purpose is to deliberately create the illusion that there is still a glimmer of hope for them, so as to disintegrate their heart to fight to the death.The current results proved that Li Jing's original idea was correct.Feng Yanqing was not willing to fight to the death at all, even if there was only a sliver of hope, he would rather give it a try, rather than fight to the death with Li Jing and pull one or two backs when he died.For Feng Yanqing, if he dies, no matter how many people he pulls back, what's the point?It is only meaningful to be alive, even if everyone dies because of this, as long as he is still alive.

"It's time to collect!" Li Jing smiled and said to Lin Wei: "Tell the second brother to lead the brothers to intercept on horseback! Don't let anyone go, kill them all!"

A group of Goguryeo warriors scattered, Li Jing was no longer worried.Once Lin Wu's cavalry came out, no matter how fast they ran, they couldn't run with four legs.

"Remember to keep them in a small team of three. Although interception is important, protecting yourself is even more important." Li Jing added temporarily. Now, he does not hope that there will be casualties in the end.

Including Li Jing, there were a total of fourteen riders, and they were divided into five or six teams at the moment, and the horseshoes were flying around.And Xiao Shitou, the spear infantry, still kept together and chased after them.

In the wilderness, there was a scream from time to time. It was the cry of a Goguryeo warrior who was chased by the cavalry before he died.The Goguryeo warriors are indeed very strong, but right now these warriors who only carry a ring sword and don't even have a piece of light armor, no matter how powerful they are against a team of three cavalry, they will only be surrounded and killed.

Although most of the united soldiers have little experience in battle formation, the foundation of the united soldiers is also very good, not to mention that they are fully armed today, with iron armor and spears, even if they are attacked occasionally, they are basically blocked by the iron armor.

A team of three was the only tactic Zuo Yidu taught during training.Although simple, it is practical.Two fists are no match for four hands. When three people are in a small team, they attack and defend together. Not only do they have higher attack power, but they can also cover each other.

The screams of Goguryeo warriors one after another made those who escaped even more chilling.There was another scream, but it was a warrior who had fled into the river, his thigh bone was broken by Wang Zhong's blow, and he was lying on the ground crying.But Wang Zhong didn't pay attention to that person any more, and went directly to the next target regardless of his life or death.Little Shitou and others rushed up from behind, several spears arrived, and immediately stabbed the warrior into a hornet's nest.

The dying screams of the Goguryeo warriors and the sound of galloping horseshoes had gradually subsided. Li Jing sat astride his horse and looked at the wilderness dotted with moonlight and blood tonight, feeling a little heavy.This was a killing initiated by him. To be honest, what he wanted to kill were Feng Liang and his nephew, but tonight he had no choice but to kill the twenty warriors and the two coachmen.

In this wilderness, apart from Li Jing's troops, only Feng Liang, Feng Yanqing and Gao Che were left.

Although Feng Liang's nephew and uncle ran away separately, they were still driven together in the end.Right now, the three of them are surrounded in a small circle like beasts who love to hurt, back to back, their eyes full of despair and sadness.

On one side are more than 20 spear points of the infantry like Little Stone, and on the other side are fourteen knights lined up.It was thanks to Feng Liang's generosity that he could gather so many horses.Li Jing originally had a nasty horse given by the old village head, but Feng Liang gave him one for military merit, and then he took Feng Liang's horse away in the last competition.Feng Liang lost [-] bolts of silk to the princess, so he pretended to be bold and brought the ten carriages and twenty horses that pulled silk nearby.

The princess gave Li Jing [-] pieces of silk, and even the five carriages and ten horses that carried the silk were also given to Li Jing.Li Jing had thirteen horses all of a sudden, and Wang Zhong also had one, so he had fourteen horses.Although the four of them except Li Jing were on war horses, the others were just draft horses, but at this moment there were more than a dozen riders lined up, and the momentum was still overwhelming, making Uncle and Nephew Feng Liang breathless.

Gao Che turned around and saw the wilderness was silent, and the spears of Li Jing and the others were covered with wet bloodstains, and he already understood the result of his brothers.His eyes were red, he howled like a wounded wild wolf, and threw his knife at Li Jing.Before Li Jing could make a move, brothers Lin Wei and Lin Wu came out almost at the same time, with two long spears on the left and one on the right stabbing out like spirit snakes.The high car blocked left and right, swung two spears with all its strength, and was about to take Li Jing straight.Wang Zhong's Spike Fang smashed fiercely from the slanting stabs with strong wind, Gao Che couldn't block it anymore, and was hit hard in the chest, and there was a clear and crisp sound of sternum breaking.Gao Che spat out a mouthful of blood, and fell back like a kite with a broken string.His face was full of unwillingness, and he stretched out his fingers trembling as if he wanted to accuse Li Jing and the others of not being a general, bullying the less with more.Only halfway through his fingers, his eyes had dimmed and lost their brilliance. This warrior who had crossed countless battlefields finally died in a silent wilderness.

"Li Jing, you won't have good results if you kill us!" Feng Yanqing's face was ashamed, and now he knew that he would never have a way out.But when he opened his mouth, he still couldn't help threateningly.

Li Jing smiled contemptuously at Feng Yanqing, "Chop off their heads!"
