Chapter 350 The truth comes out

Chapter 350 The truth comes out
The river flows endlessly, and the waves emit curls of silver light under the moonlight, as soft as long hair.

Small stones piled up to form a seemingly flat river bank.

The horse's hooves stepped on the sand, but what splashed up was water!

At the Lidu River, Lu Yunyi led more than 200 soldiers to the front.
Almost in the blink of an eye, they left the Luchuan camp.

Rushing along the river bank towards the darkness in the north.

The sound of horse hooves raised splashes of water like the surface of a river, and bursts of mist appeared on the river bank, adding a touch of coolness.

Behind him, cavalrymen rushed out from the Luchuan camp and gathered.

The team of ten merged into the team of a hundred, and the team of a hundred merged with each other while marching.

Soon, a pursuit team of seven or eight hundred people was formed.

There were also cavalry troops continuously joining from the rear.

The horses they rode were Yunnan horses, which were short-legged horses that lacked explosive power but were famous for their endurance.

On the entire Ancient Tea Horse Road, only the Yunnan horses can travel the entire route.
It is one of the most important means of transportation in the Central Plains dynasties.

At this time, the cavalry chasing behind may not be so fast, but they have enough endurance.

They were confident that they could catch up with the attacking Ming people and capture them as a deterrent.

The grassland horse is a Mongolian horse, which has strong adaptability, explosive power and good endurance.

The warhorse that Lu Yunyi was riding was a first-rate horse, and so were the horses of the soldiers around him.
Although there are many pursuers behind, as long as we exert a little effort,
You can quickly create distance and get a chance to escape.

But Lu Yunyi and others did not intend to do so.

He held the reins and looked back. The pursuers behind him rode strong horses.
The soldiers above them were all wearing khaki armor and had sturdy builds. They looked like elite cavalrymen no matter how you looked at them.

This made Lu Yunyi put away his contempt, and at the same time he became more anxious to clear out the following cavalry.
He couldn't wait to see it.

Who exactly are the Luchuan people? Where did they get so many war horses and elite soldiers?

He took a deep breath and saw the Luchuan camp behind him getting farther and farther away.
Lu Yunyi raised his right hand and shouted loudly,
"Turn around the corner a hundred feet ahead and launch a surprise attack!"

When the military order was issued, one could clearly feel the soldiers around him getting more excited.
The charge just now seemed fierce, but Luchuan's defense was just that good.

There are only three centuries of teams, and if the merits were to be shared, each person might not even get one.

This military order was issued at the perfect time!

The distance of a hundred feet passed in a flash, and at the corner was a shallow beach full of gravel.

A warhorse might sprain its ankle when walking on it.

They had bypassed this place on their way here, and the soldiers remembered it very clearly!
As the reins were pulled, the warhorse turned its head quickly after rushing across the shallows.
The head becomes the tail, the tail becomes the head, and they charge back the way they came!

Lu Yunyi gradually rushed to the front and waved his hand.
He took the spear from Feng Yunfang's back and put it behind him.

At the same time, he gently touched the horse bag with his right hand, and an arrow with a fishtail arrowhead appeared in his hand.

He drew his bow and drew his arrow, and in an instant the bow was drawn again.

The bowstring also made a creaking sound, and the sharp arrow emitted a cold moonlight.
At this moment, the soldiers around him could feel the surging power in him.
The big bow was like a toy in his hand, and he pulled it open effortlessly.

Even though they have seen it many times, they still feel deeply moved and full of admiration.

Lu Yunyi spoke in a deep voice and gave a cold order:

"The cavalry made a detour, using the tactics of the steppes,
After firing a volley of bows and crossbows, they charged into the battle formation, initially cutting off the 300 men in front, and then quickly left the battlefield to avoid being intercepted! "

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers behind him took out the crossbows placed on the side, pulled the bows and strung them.
He bit his lips lightly with his teeth, a fierce look on his face.

Lu Yunyi took a quick glance and found that under the moonlight,

The moonlight illuminated most of the bows and crossbows, and the cold light flickered among the cavalry.
Lu Yunyi frowned slightly, thinking that the crossbow should be painted black.
In this way, you will be invisible in the dark and will be able to take the lead.

There was no time to think deeply. The roar of the war horses was getting closer and closer. The distance between the two sides was less than 300 steps.

The Luchuan cavalry on the opposite side also seemed surprised by the enemy's return.

But soon, they gathered their thoughts, turned into ferocious looks, and held the long swords in their hands, ready to fight.

The leading man roared:

"rush ahead!"

But when he finished speaking, a hint of coldness flashed across Lu Yunyi's eyes, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The tightly held bowstring loosened in an instant,

The sharp arrow was freed from restraint and shot out in an instant.
The people on both sides had no time to react, and could only see a flash of bright silver between heaven and earth.

The next moment, the cavalry commander who had shouted earlier was pierced through the chest by an arrow.

He only felt a huge force coming from his chest.

Neither the horse nor the stirrups could hold his body back, causing him to fly backwards and fall to the ground.
What followed was the follow-up cavalry that was unable to change direction in time.

His pupils suddenly dilated, and the horse's hooves fell.

There was a slight "puff" sound, which was particularly conspicuous in such a noisy atmosphere.

"grown ups!"

The cavalrymen at the front looked back.
All that could be seen was a corpse trembling slightly on the ground, shaking as it was trampled by the hooves of a war horse.

At the same time, he felt a strong fear in his heart. It was nearly three hundred steps. How big a bow could shoot to three hundred steps?

The horses' hooves roared and the distance shortened!
The two sides were less than two hundred steps apart.
Lu Yunyi hung the longbow aside and took down the spear from behind.

One hundred and fifty steps!

The atmosphere on both sides became extremely tense, and they began to prepare for the subsequent collision.

But at this moment, Lu Yunyi waved the spear in his hand and shouted:

"Turn east!"

The cavalry team, which was still charging fiercely, seemed to be restrained at this moment, and its speed also stagnated for a moment.
Then, to the stunned eyes of the Luchuan soldiers, the cavalry in front of them began to make a detour in front.

At the same time, bright silver spots appeared in the cavalry formation.

Like the stars in the sky, they kept flashing along with the rise and fall of the war horses.

The next moment, they heard another loud roar:
"shoot!"

The twinkling stars in front of my eyes disappeared and turned into meteors rising into the sky.
Soaring high into the sky, and then sliding down heavily,

Before they could react, severe pain appeared in the bodies of many Luchuan soldiers.
They couldn't help but wail, their bodies went limp, and they fell off their horses!

The cavalry that was charging fiercely also paused for a moment.

The horses were overturned, the soldiers were thrown into the air,
The entire cavalry formation seemed to be divided in the front and middle sections by crossbow arrows!
The cavalry in front is still pursuing rapidly.
The cavalry in the rear slowed down because of this round of volleys.
Some even stopped a little bit.

After seeing this scene, Lu Yunyi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then he suddenly realized that there was no way the people from the southwest could compare to the people from the grasslands in terms of riding skills.

In such a situation, not only would the grassland people not be shot on such a large scale,

They will also adjust the direction of the charge in time and launch the same counterattack in an instant.

The people of Luchuan in front of them were in chaos!

At this moment, Lu Yunyi changed his strategy.

He did not look at the cavalry ahead who were still charging.

He turned to look at the many cavalrymen in the rear who were moving slowly or even stopped, with a sharp look in his eyes.

He waved his spear and shouted:

"Come to me!"

The scouts of the vanguard army, who were originally rushing eastward, turned around in an instant and started charging again.
At this moment, there is still nearly a hundred feet away from the original road.
This distance is when the prairie horse’s momentum is at its strongest!
Lu Yunyi also took the lead and bent forward.
He only kept one eye on the movements of the Luchuan soldiers in front!

One hundred feet, fifty feet, twenty feet!

Seeing it getting closer and closer, time is passing by in a flash,
But the Luchuan soldiers in front of them had no reaction at all and could only stare blankly at the Ming cavalry charging towards them!

They stared with their eyes wide open, feeling the black shadows rushing past them, feeling the pain in their bodies, and feeling the world spinning around them.
Rumbling--

There seemed to be a thunder in the sky, and more than 200 cavalrymen rushed through it.

There were wails, roars, shouts, and even a hint of begging for mercy.
Lu Yunyi took it all in and a smile appeared on his lips.

He rushed past, swung the reins in his hand hard, and continued to move south!

The soldiers followed quickly. They seemed confused about the change in tactics.

They all knew that this tactical change was too successful!
Because, the more than 300 cavalrymen who were blocked in front were standing there in a daze.

They looked back one by one, seeing the miserable situation behind them and watching the enemy's black-armored cavalry charging forward again!

More than one person suddenly widened their eyes and roared:

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

However, when cavalrymen charge each other, whoever has faster speed and more powerful momentum has the chance of winning.

Now, many soldiers of the front scout unit have increased their speed to the highest level.
The black blood-stained armor and the warhorse are like spirits leaping in the black fog in the dark night.
The distance of a hundred feet passed in a flash and it was right in front of us in an instant!

One was still and the other was moving, and the two sides collided violently.

Almost in an instant, the cavalry formation that had originally stopped was broken into pieces.

The soldiers' long swords slashed again and again, tearing the flesh and splashing blood.

Maybe it won't kill with one strike,
But it doesn't matter, they still have colleagues,

Faced with such sophisticated cavalry, everyone unanimously chose to treat them the same way as they would infantry phalanxes.

Don't seek to kill the enemy, just to injure and do your best to preserve yourself!
The cavalry battle array, charging like flowing water,
One person with one sword may not kill the enemy, but a hundred people with a hundred swords can chop the person into meat paste.

As the front scouts rushed past,

Less than three of the cavalry formation that had been standing quietly there remained, all of them wounded.
They felt the severe pain in their bodies and looked at the mess behind them.
I couldn't help but feel fear and shivered.

"Chase, chase!"

"Leave this person to me at all costs!!"

"There are only two hundred of them, what are you afraid of?"

At this moment, angry curses and the sound of cavalry charging rang out.
A group of cavalry galloped past and rushed towards the south, chasing the soldiers of the front army's scout unit.

A quarter of an hour later, Jixing Peak,
The cavalry of the front scouts rushed past.

The sound of horse hooves hit the mountain peak on one side, echoing continuously, making the sound even louder.

This made Zhang Yu and others who were hiding not far away breathe a sigh of relief.

Whether it was the firelight from the Luchuan camp,
Whether it was the cavalry battle formation with minimal losses, it showed that this plan was close to success.

What we have to wait for next is the pursuit of the follow-up cavalry!
It didn't take long, about half a cup of tea,
More frequent and troubled horse hoof sounds began to sound, echoing throughout the entire Jixing Peak.

A group of Luchuan soldiers rushed past, with some noisy words lingering in their mouths.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu pursed his lips tightly.
He clenched the long sword in his hand again and again, his face showing excitement!
By this time, thanks to the elite soldiers of the front army's scout unit, the battle had already been largely successful.

Next, it’s time to unveil the veil of Luchuan.

But Zhang Yu still did not act rashly.
He forced himself to suppress the fighting spirit of many soldiers and continued to wait.
He waited for nearly half a cup of tea before making sure that there were no more cavalry chasing him.

He then swung the long sword in his hand and shouted:
"Put on the armor!"

ka ka ka-

The sound of armor colliding was heard even more, hitting the cliffs of Jixing Peak, which was particularly conspicuous.

The next moment, there was a loud sound of horse hooves.

Zhang Yu took the lead and let out a loud roar!
"kill!"

At the same time, two soldiers in the team behind him fired their arrows straight into the sky.
The shrill sound echoed throughout Jixing Peak.

Lu Yunyi, who was charging ahead, heard the sound and slowly slowed down his horse. A smile appeared on his face and he gave the order in a deep voice:
"Brothers, turn your horses around and kill all the enemy troops!"

Excitement resounded in everyone's heart, and everyone knew that
At this point, tonight's operation is nearing its end, with fruitful gains!

"Everyone, take care of yourself. The war is almost over. Trust your colleagues and don't fight alone!"

Lu Yunyi's voice echoed, and along with it,

The originally gentle sound of horse hooves gradually became heavier and more rapid!

The army that had just stopped began to charge again!
The Luchuan Army, who were still at Jixing Peak, listened in a daze to the sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing coming from the front and back. They were stunned for a moment, then shocked, and finally turned into disbelief and fear.

"Fell into a trap!"

In the army, a young man in his twenties suddenly had his pupils contracted and let out a loud roar.
Then he waved the long sword in his hand and looked towards the cliff on the west side and the Lidu River on the east side.

His expression was extremely ugly.

Here, only the north and south can travel together, and there are enemy troops in both the north and the south.

Panic began to grow and then spread, and frustration gradually enveloped the entire Luchuan cavalry team.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across the young general's eyes. He suppressed the panic in his heart and made a decision!
There was a ruthlessness in his eyes, and he quickly gave the order:
"Charge south, fire flares, and call for reinforcements!"

Despite low morale and widespread fear,
But the role of the main general was reflected at this moment.
The entire Luchuan army seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and began to strictly follow the military order.

This was unexpected for the young generals, who did not understand why the arrogant soldiers were so obedient.

But now is not the time to be happy!
The arrow shot up into the sky. The young general took a deep breath and swung his sword vigorously towards the south:

"Rush me!!"

The sound of horse hooves also rang out, especially at Jixing Peak.

Nearly 800 cavalrymen slowly began to move, all of them with a desire to live in their eyes.

Their eyes were fixed on the south, hoping to see the Ming army's bluffing!
Soon, the sound of their horses' hooves was drowned out by even more intense sound of horses' hooves!

I don't know how many people's eyes widened little by little.

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, but then it quickly subsided and turned into solemnity.

The enemy was not numerous, and judging by the silhouettes in the moonlight, there were only about three or four hundred of them.

Logically speaking, they should be very happy at this moment.
But thinking of the casualties caused by the two hundred men earlier,
They did not feel happy at all, but instead felt depressed.

The young general had no choice but to speak loudly with a fierce look on his face:
"Rush forward, at all costs!"

In the darkness, the charge began, the sound of horse hooves like a rolling wave,
Coming from the south and the north, they want to collide at Jixing Peak!

The waves are surging on the river and the horses' hooves are rolling on the shore.

The distance between the two sides was shortened in an instant.
Then, like a surging wave, they crashed heavily into each other in a narrow area.

At the same time, the sound of rolling waves also came from behind the Luchuan Army, accompanied by deafening shouts of killing.

Upon hearing this, the young general's face darkened and turned pale, and his horse slowed down a little bit.

The hope in my heart disappeared without a trace at this moment.

He hoped that the Ming army before him did not have such a plan.

But the reality does not change according to his will.

The fight began at this moment.

The cavalry charging from the south were in high spirits.
With thick armor and sharp sword, he charged into the Luchuan battle formation without any hindrance and stabbed deeply into it.

The sound of knife handles colliding and screams rang out one after another.
At this moment, Jixing Peak seemed to have become a hell on earth.

At the same time, the cavalry from the north also penetrated deeply into the Luchuan battle formation.

One in front and one behind, they launched a two-pronged attack according to the established plan.

Although we are outnumbered, the quality of our soldiers is more important than their quantity!

The morale of more than 800 Luchuan soldiers collapsed easily after being torn back and forth by more than 500 scouts of the front army.

Because their momentum was blocked, the cavalry, without speed, became sitting ducks.
The cavalry on the north and south sides began to cross back and forth on this not-so-wide shore, alternating with each other.
It's just a simple alternation between the north and the south.
There were not many combat-capable Luchuan cavalrymen left, and the ground was littered with corpses.

Some Luchuan soldiers did not want to die under the swords of the Ming army, so they rushed to the east bank of the river.
The front scouts did not stop them.
The river is surging and it is the rainy season. If you enter the Lidu River, there is only one way to go, and that is death!
The war ended very quickly.

A quarter of an hour later, the Luchuan cavalry completely gave up resistance, dismounted, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy.

Lu Yunyi felt indescribably happy, his laughter rose and fell, and then gradually calmed down.

Amidst everyone's surprise, a calm voice came out:

"Feng Yunfang, lead fifty riders southward.

Keep a close eye on the Luchuan camp, and report back if anyone comes to help."

Madness and calmness occurred in an instant, which almost made it impossible for the soldiers present to react.

It seemed as if the person who had just fought bravely was not an adult.

"Yes!" Feng Yunfang shouted loudly and waved his hand vigorously, and his personal soldiers hurriedly followed.

Lu Yunyi and Zhang Yu met in the middle of the battlefield.
The two men were already covered in blood. When they looked at each other, they could see the excitement and excitement in each other's eyes.

Looking around, with these prisoners, we can understand some of the situation in the Luchuan military camp.

Some of the mysteries of the military camp can also be solved.

Lu Yunyi took a step forward and looked at the young general with his hands tied.
He also had a mask on his face, and looked just as hideous and terrifying.
Lu Yunyi couldn't help but sneer:
"Pretend to be a ghost."

Lu Yunyi rushed forward and pulled off the mask on his face.
The next moment, the scene fell into silence, and everyone frowned.

"Siamese?"

Lu Yunyi's eyes widened suddenly and he cursed loudly:
"Damn it! I was wondering how Luchuan could have so many soldiers!"
