Chapter 235 Heavy Damage to Iron Pagoda
After Qin Wang Zhao Defang and Yang Yanzhao withdrew from the battlefield with the Mo Yun Cavalry and the Huoshan Army, they went around to the south of Yingzhou City and met up with Meng Liang who had retreated from the city.
Among the three thousand soldiers defending the city were a thousand elite soldiers of the Volcano Army led by Meng Liang. They fought hard to defend the city for several days and suffered heavy losses.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang looked at the team with less than a thousand people left and everyone was injured, and a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. In the guerrilla warfare these days, the elite soldiers of Moyun Cavalry also lost 186 people, and Yang Yanzhao's 2,000 Huoshan Army lost more than 600 people.
They were all passionate warriors of the Song Dynasty, but because of the hastily launched Northern Expedition that had no chance of winning, many soldiers found it difficult to return home.
After running for sixty miles, seeing that the enemy had not caught up, the King of Qin ordered them to rest on the spot. The Moyun Cavalry and the Huoshan Army deployed in formation to guard, while Luo Li and the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor led the military doctors to provide emergency bandages and treatment for the wounded.
After resting for an hour, the exhausted Luo Li was carried onto the warhorse by the King of Qin, and more than 4,000 soldiers continued to move forward.
After riding for less than forty miles, it was almost evening and there were still more than twenty miles to Huanzhou City. The hope of being able to go into the city, have a good sleep and eat a hot meal was within reach.
Suddenly, a scout in front came running over with an urgent report, "Report... Your Majesty, General Yang, Huanzhou City was captured by the Liao army. Ten thousand elite Liao soldiers left the city and formed a battle formation to block the road ahead."
Luo Li, who was leaning in the arms of Qin Wang Zhao Defang, cursed angrily: "Damn it! Damn it! My wish to go into the city to have a good sleep and eat a hot meal has been dashed."
A scout came galloping from behind, "Report! ... Your Majesty, General Yang, Yelu Xiezhen is leading 20,000 cavalrymen to catch up with us, and they are sixteen miles away from us."
Luo Li was startled and muttered angrily, "Damn it! There are wolves in front and tigers behind. Is Yelu Xiezhen going to make dumplings and eat us?"
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Wang Zhao Defang said to Yang Yanzhao beside him: "Yanzhao, I will lead the Moyun Cavalry to charge in front and kill the enemy. The wounded will stay in the middle. You will lead the Huoshan Army to follow the formation and cover the rear. Let's rush forward and head straight for Yanmen Pass."
"Yes! Your Majesty, I obey your command." Yang Yanzhao clasped his fists and accepted the order, then led the Volcano Army and fell behind.
King Qin Zhao Defang ordered Mo Yunqi to slow down and let the horses accumulate strength.
"Yun Yi, Uncle Master, the three of us will be the tip of the blade, and the shadow guards will follow closely behind. Let's use this sharpest formation to kill through the enemy!"
Yun Yi received the order and directed his subordinates to adjust the formation. The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor looked up proudly, "With my poison powder in hand, there is no formation that I can't kill!"
Luo Li looked at him with amusement, "Ghost Hand, are you sure? When thousands of horses are rushing to kill, can your poison powder distinguish between the enemy and us regardless of the wind direction?"
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor lost his arrogant look and said with an embarrassed smile, "That's impossible! When I charged into the Liao army's Iron Pagoda formation today, I didn't dare to spread poison powder. I relied on my unfathomable martial arts to kill the enemy.
Master, I personally killed 26 heavily armored Iron Pagodas, and the thunderbolts I made killed 200 to 300 Iron Pagodas. Is this a great achievement?"
Luo Li sincerely praised this old disciple who was always so arrogant, "Amazing! It's a great achievement. Ghost Hand, it's a pity that you only have six large and six small thunder bombs left. Use the good steel on the blade and save the thunder bombs."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor secretly glanced at Luo Li, and asked cautiously and expectantly: "Master, you have your gun hidden in your arms, are you ready to show your power?"
What he thought was a secret was seen through by this old man with sharp eyes. Luo Li glared at him arrogantly and said, "Your two little triangular eyes are quite sharp. When the master shows his power later, you will help me to cover up."
"Yes, sir!" The voice that came to my ears was that of Qin Wang Zhao Defang.
"Yes, sir!" The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was unwilling to be outdone and did it decisively.
: "Yes, sir!" Yun Yi accepted the order with respect and admiration.
It was their great honor to see the princess' magical weapon called a pistol in action.
When they saw the dark formation of the Liao army in front of them, the elite soldiers of the Mo Yun cavalry sped up their horses. Behind the King of Qin, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, and Yun Yi, there was a formation of six people. The sound of horse hooves became faster and faster. The soldiers on horseback had firm eyes and were full of momentum!
The Liao army's one thousand Iron Pagoda heavy armored cavalry also rode forward. The sound of heavy horse hooves gradually became faster and their speed also gradually increased.
The biggest advantage of these heavy cavalrymen, who were covered in heavy armor on both their bodies and horses, when facing the enemy was their powerful impact. Ordinary lightly armored cavalrymen and infantrymen were often thrown off their horses and thrown to the ground by them, and their weapons could not cut through or pierce their heavy armor, so they were slaughtered unilaterally.
Ordinary archers posed no threat to them as their arrows could not penetrate their heavy armor.
Of course, for the extraordinary kung fu masters like Qin Wang Zhao Defang and the shadow guards, they can rely on their deep internal strength and infuse their internal strength into the weapons in their hands to pierce through their heavy armor and take the lives of those in the armor. But it also consumes internal strength and cannot be trapped in the formation of heavy armored cavalry. Long-term fighting will also exhaust the strength and kung fu masters will also die.
The two armies were getting closer and closer, and Luo Li could already see the ferocious eyes beneath the Iron Pagoda masks.
Unable to wait any longer, Luo Li raised his pistol and pulled the trigger to fire a burst of shots.
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"... The sound of gunfire was almost inaudible amid the galloping of thousands of horses and the deafening shouts of killing. However, the row of iron pagodas that were coming towards them with great momentum were hit by bullets one by one, and their heavy bodies fell off their horses with a loud bang. ...
After the thirty bullets in the pistol were used up, the two rows of Iron Pagoda heavy armored cavalry were killed one by one and fell off their horses. The Iron Pagodas rushing up from behind crashed into them and their panicked horses, and fell down with a loud bang!
"Li'er, you're awesome!" Qin Wang Zhao Defang praised excitedly.
Luo Li was just about to be modest when six shots missed the target and did not hit the vital parts of the Iron Buddha's face. Fortunately, with the huge size of the Iron Buddha, it was not easy to miss the target when shooting at such a close distance. The Iron Buddha who fell off his horse would not die immediately, and the heavy armor would not allow them to get up at all. They would not survive under the trampling of countless horses' hooves.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang held a spear in his hand, and Yun Yi and Ghost Hand Poison Doctor on both sides held snowflake iron swords and rushed forward in a sharp blade formation. The powerful shadow guards followed closely behind with snowflake iron swords in their hands, and the steel knives in the hands of the Moyun Cavalry elite soldiers were not vegetarian either, and the blades of these sharp blades were also extremely sharp!
The Iron Pagoda, whose speed was slowed down and stopped moving forward, lost its advantage in attacking force and became like a huge wild boar waiting to be slaughtered. It resisted clumsily for a few times with its fangs bared, but was stabbed into the body by the tricky and sharp blades and fell off its horse.
In just a short while, the thousand-man Iron Pagoda heavy armored cavalry formation was wiped out, with more than half of the Iron Pagoda soldiers killed and fleeing in all directions.
Yelu Qi, the chief general of the Liao army who was urgently recalled by the Grand Marshal and had captured Huanzhou City by surprise, was dumbfounded. The one thousand Iron Pagoda heavy armored cavalry specially sent to me by the Grand Marshal were gone in the blink of an eye?
