Chivalrous Song Dynasty

This formed a circular formation, and the combined forces of the nine people showed their power immediately, and killed several horse bandits in an instant.

Although the horse bandits suffered a loss in this encounter, the nine Bazijun also completely lost their means of transportation, so neither side was left behind.

After the nine people escorted Zhao Kai to trek for a day in the desert, they met Yelu Moge and Yelu Guyu's Liao cavalry.

The cavalry team of the Liao Kingdom has a banner. When they recognized that they were from the Liao Kingdom, they were very happy for a while, because they knew that the Liao and Xia countries were good-neighborly and friendly, so they planned to borrow some horses from the Liao Kingdom’s cavalry team. Ever thought that the way the Liao people greeted them turned out to be fierce crossbow arrows?

Are the crossbow bolts of the Divine Crossbow Battalion unusual?Immediately, four foreign monks were shot to death. If they were not worried about harming the hostages, no more than three of the nine of them would have survived.

At the same time as the four of them fell down, the elites of the Divine Crossbow Battalion on horseback rushed into their formation and captured Zhao Kai.

Basel was very depressed, because they were afraid of provoking disputes between Liao and Xia, so they did not dare to kill Liao people, so they could only watch Zhao Kai being taken away, and could only express their protest, but because of the language of the two sides Impassable, it is difficult to obtain communication and understanding for a while.

Just at this moment, the horse bandits who had fled from Bai Sheng and Ma Kui's men arrived at the scene, assembled by a master. The first thing the horse bandits saw was not the monks, but dozens of people following the carriage. A beautiful woman rushed up to snatch her.

These horse bandits were full of uselessness under more than 1000 Makui men. After fleeing in embarrassment, they just needed to rob people to vent their anger. Seeing that the total number of men and women in the Liao cavalry team was only more than a hundred people, of course they would not let them go. In the eyes, immediately launched a charge.

When the five monks, including Ba Xijun, were furious, they saw that the horse bandits immediately had a target to vent their anger on, and without further ado, they formed a small formation of five and knocked down all the horse bandits who rushed past them. .

The combination of the internal strength of the five people is not weak, at least equal to the 200-year skill of ordinary warriors, and the big handprint of splitting the air is enough to kill the horse bandits within two feet.

Thirty crossbowmen from the Godly Crossbow Battalion under Yelumoge also formed a dense formation around the carriage to release arrows, and another forty spearmen stood in front of the crossbowmen to prevent the cavalry from attacking.

But thirty crossbowmen could not stop the charge of more than 300 horse bandits, so the horse bandits charged down in one wave. Although fifteen or six people were shot dead and more than 20 people were shot, they also killed seventy or so. The formation of the warriors of the Liao Kingdom was scattered and scattered, and more than a dozen of them were killed.

This is why Bai Sheng saw the monks killing the bandits, the bandits killing the Liao army, and the Liao army killing the monks.

After the chaotic war between the three parties, all parties have reassessed and judged this encounter.

The leader of the horse bandits believes that when the Fanseng and the Liao cavalry are forming their own formations, launching a charge is a lose-lose style of play, so he chose the strategy of surrounding but not charging. No matter where the two groups of people go, their three Baiqi always formed a big encirclement circle around them.

On the other hand, Basel bacteria believed that in order to avoid losing their lives in this chaotic battle, they must first eliminate misunderstandings with the people of the Liao Kingdom, so he started a dialogue with the envoys of the Liao Kingdom in the encirclement.

After some communication, Yelu Moge also knew the origin of the fan monk. He turned out to be a disciple of Songba, the national teacher of Xixia, so he quickly apologized to Ba Shijun, but Yelu Guyu said that he must take away the carriage that was already sitting in her. Zhao Kai.

Baxijun did not insist on asking for Zhao Kai, because he hijacked Zhao Kai only to save his life. It would be better to bring Zhao Kai back to Xingqing Mansion and hand it over to the army, but at this time without the pursuit and siege of the Song army, the lost Zhao Kai didn't care either.

So far, Fanseng and the Liao army have completely formed a united front. After discussing with each other, the two sides decided to unite and go to Xingqing Mansion.As long as they get close to Xingqing Mansion, these horse bandits naturally dare not continue to spy on and follow them.

Yelu Moge and Yelu Guyu were also very annoyed by the horse bandits, and wanted to go back to Xingqing Mansion to discuss with the Xixia Emperor. The law and order in this desert is too bad!

When they came to Xingqing Mansion, they were escorted by [-] cavalry from their own country. When they arrived in Xingqing Mansion, the [-] cavalry returned to their home country because the battle between Liao and Jin was too fierce.

But when they bid farewell to the Xixia Emperor and proposed to return home, the Xixia Emperor did not send elite soldiers to escort them for some reason, but only kept them to stay for a while, and they were determined to return immediately, so this encounter in the desert occurred .

Judging from the current situation, it was impossible for them to continue heading north. They could only return to Xingqing Mansion and wait for the emperor to send elite Xixia soldiers to provide protection.

At present, Ba Xijun brought four juniors together with the Liao cavalry, and headed towards Xingqing Mansion together.It is only two days' journey from this location to Xingqing Mansion, and it only needs to survive for one day, and it is basically safe.

Regarding this result, the horse bandits were a little helpless. They knew very well that the two groups of people together were like a hedgehog, making it impossible to attack.

No matter how many people charge, as long as they enter within a hundred steps of the Liao cavalry, they will enter the range of the crossbow arrows. At least half of them will die, and the remaining half will die among the five cavalry even if they rush to the front of the cavalry. under the palm of the monk.

So the leader of the horse bandits decided to fight for another day. If there was a sandstorm or a drought tornado, he could take advantage of it.

So the encirclement circle commanding the horse bandits also began to move westward, and the encirclement situation was always maintained.

Seeing this result, Bai Sheng felt very upset, you guys stopped fighting, right?If you don't fight, I will fight!

Chapter 428

Bai Sheng must fight, if he doesn't kill these bandits, he will feel uncomfortable.But how to fight is a problem.

The first thing to consider is not to reveal your identity, because you can't make a statement, that is, you can't hurt the Liao people.

Not to mention that for the sake of Xiao Feng's face, the Liao people can't be touched, just because of the purpose of going to Xingqing Mansion this time to get along with the princess, he can't make enemies with these Liao people.

Not only can they not become enemies with the people of Liao, but they can't kill the five foreign monks, Ba Shijun.

Therefore, he couldn't reveal his identity in front of Basel and others.

So he decided that he couldn't destroy the more than 300 horse bandits by himself. He had to let Wei Minghui lead the Makui to come, and then he would fight a battle of annihilation among the Makui.

After making up his mind, he quickly ran back to the small sand dune and told Ye Liping, "Go and call Wei Minghui and the others over."

Ye Liping immediately rode back to call for someone, and while waiting for the large group of people, he gave Ye Lifang some instructions, and so on.

Yelumoge and Basel, who were in the center of the bandit siege, were not optimistic, because they were located in the most dangerous area of ​​the desert.

Anyone who has lived in Xingqing Mansion for a long time knows that after crossing the Yellow River eastward from Xingqing Mansion and entering the desert for a day, they will enter the well-known death zone.

The so-called dead zone refers to an area where there is no water source suitable for drinking by humans and animals, but there are a large number of poisonous snakes, scorpions and poisonous ants.

These three types of poisons have a common habit, that is, they are dormant during the day and active at night.So passing travelers usually choose to speed through this frightening area during the day.

But now Basel and the Liao cavalry had no choice. They could only pass through this area at night, because they didn't know if the horse bandits had any backup.

Unlike the horse bandits who are waiting around, they must maintain a defensive formation at all times during the march to prevent the horse bandits from suddenly charging, but in this way it is difficult to avoid being attacked by poison.

Although their mounts would be the first to be attacked, even a poisoned mount would be nothing short of disaster for them.

So now they can only look forward to avoiding these poisonous insects with trepidation, looking forward to the arrival of day as soon as possible.

But how can there be such a satisfactory thing in the world?After walking for less than half an hour, misfortune had already arrived.

Following the hissing of a war horse, the Khitans let out panicked cries, and the formation was in chaos.

In the middle of the night, he couldn't see clearly what was a hundred paces away, so the leader of the horse bandits hurriedly asked his men, "What are they shouting for?"

The men replied: "Their horse was bitten by a snake, and they met a herd of snakes!"

"Haha!" The bandit leader laughed wildly, "God helped me! Brothers, charge!"

Following his "charge" command, the sound of horseshoes in the desert immediately changed from slow to sudden, from sparse to dense, from weak to strong, until the roar of horseshoes came from all directions, like thousands of horses galloping.

Hearing the sound of thousands of galloping horses, the people in the encirclement were immediately taken aback. How could there be so many cavalry attacking?It's really over now!

In the carriage, Zhao Kai and Yelugu looked at each other and turned pale. Outside the carriage, the monks such as Basel and the warriors of the Divine Crossbow Camp who were busy killing the poisonous snake also slowed down their movements. So many enemies attacked and died in the mouth of the poisonous snake. What difference does it make to die under the charge of an enemy?

The bandit leader who was the first to charge had a different reaction from the surrounded people. He just felt strange, how could more than [-] horses make such a sudden sound of hooves?

Whether it was the bandit leader or the gangster, whether it was Yelumoge, the warriors of the Shennu Battalion, or the pikemen of the Liao army, they all had rich experience in battle. Just by hearing the sound of hooves, they knew that the total number of horses was over a thousand.

When he realized that something was wrong, the bandit chief subconsciously glanced back, and then he understood one thing—this glance was the last time he looked at the world in his life.

In this hasty glance, he thought that what he saw was the woman who had been flying among the horses and had beheaded countless people, but she didn't have the pair of twin knives that would make scary screams in her hands.

Although he had never seen this woman's appearance before, although he felt that this woman's appearance was a bit ordinary, but from the posture of this woman flying in the air, he could be sure that it would not be anyone else except her.
