Taoist Songfeng's anger suddenly froze on his face, because he seemed to see from a distance, a line of smoke and dust coming from the direction three miles away. Such a scene would only occur when a large group of cavalry is attacking. Taoist Songfeng's hands began to tremble slightly, just like his voice: "Senior Brother Li, is it Marshal Xu who has sent us new reinforcements? Or is it cavalry reinforcements?"
Li Nanfeng looked back and was stunned. He murmured: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. Our army does not have so many cavalry."
He suddenly thought of something and turned to Taoist Songfeng: "Junior Brother Songfeng, don't you have thousands of Qiang and Di cavalry here? Did they plunder the Jin army's camp and come back?"
Taoist Songfeng stamped his foot anxiously and pointed to the north, toward a Jin army warehouse where wooden boxes were scattered. Four to five hundred Qiang Di people with pigtails and weird hairstyles were rummaging through boxes and cabinets, picking up cloth and property. He piled it on his horse, and the leader kept waving and shouting, directing the robbery of his men. Songfeng Taoist said loudly: "Qi Qianli is still picking up money over there. He said that his younger brother died. He can't die in vain. He needs to get the Jin army's baggage in the rear army first. Besides, his cavalry are all horse bandits, so how can he launch such an imposing attack?"
Li Nanfeng's expression changed greatly: "Oh no, is this the Jin army's cavalry? Our Tianshi Dao does not have such a large group of cavalry. If it is not yours, it must be the enemy's."
At this point, Li Nanfeng began to sweat on his forehead: "Moreover, these cavalry came from the south and west. Our army always surrounds three and is short of one, and let go of the south without attacking. Then, it must be the Jin army's cavalry who killed them." arrive."
Taoist Songfeng said anxiously: "What should we do? The Jin cavalry is coming and we have to fight."
Li Nanfeng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the disciples of Tianshi Dao will immediately retreat and form an array in the direction of the Jin army's cavalry, with the infantry in front and the archers behind, relying on this hilly area to prepare to meet the Jin army, and move as many roadblocks as possible come over."
Having said this, he looked at Taoist Songfeng: "The best roadblock now is the luggage boxes that Qi Qianli is grabbing. You have to get them to move over quickly. Moreover, in order to buy time for the formation, these Qiang Qiang people from Qi Qianli The Di cavalry must move out immediately to counterattack the enemy cavalry, otherwise, we will directly face their charge, and I am afraid it will be difficult to resist."
Taoist Songfeng looked back and said unwillingly: "What about my brothers who are attacking the Jin army's rear defense line head-on? If even your archers withdraw, then we will definitely not be able to defeat them."
Li Nanfeng said bitterly: "What time has it been? We are still thinking about attacking. The Jin army's cavalry has arrived. If the infantry follows behind, we are in danger of being annihilated. Let your people continue to fight. At least hold off the Jin army first." Rear troops, don’t let them take the opportunity to counterattack, otherwise something big will happen if we are attacked from both sides.”
Taoist Songfeng frowned: "Here, I may not be able to command Qi Qianli. His brother died before, and he won't let them rob him now. Would you be willing to do it instead?"
Li Nanfeng said sternly: "If you can't even command your subordinates, what else do you, a general, do? The current situation is that if we don't work together, if we face the Jin army's cavalry charge, we will all die. We can only withstand their charge first." Only if Bo can survive, Qi Qianli, you can promise them that if they win this battle, Jiangling City will let him go."
Taoist Songfeng gritted his teeth: "I will go in person, but your people can no longer watch the show. When Qi Qianli counterattacks, all of your troops must follow up and fight. Otherwise, we will be ghosts. Let you go!"
Li Nanfeng curled up his lips: "We are now sharing life and death. Facing the cavalry, I just left you and retreated. Where can you go? Now I am forming here to be your backup and solve this Jin army. Cavalry, we will go back and break the Jin army’s rear defense line, I promise!”
Taoist Songfeng said nothing, jumped down from the hill, grabbed a fast horse, and ran in the direction of Qi Qianli. Li Nanfeng looked at his retreating figure with a hint of laughter at the corner of his mouth. sneer.
Next to Li Nanfeng, a deputy general named Xu Shicheng came over and whispered: "Senior Brother Li, should we form an array and attack immediately?"
Li Nanfeng nodded: "Let's form the formation first. It is impossible for those miscellaneous cavalrymen in Qi Qianli to block the charge of the Jin army's cavalry, but it will weaken the speed of their attack and give us a chance to deal with it. Junior Brother Xu, as long as we slow down The cavalry cannot directly attack our formation, so it is not so scary. We hold on to the front line of these hills, use baggage boxes as cover, and place them in the front. The archers fire arrows from behind. After thousands of years of cavalry have charged, we , when he turned around and continued to attack the Jin cavalry from behind, he shot me so hard that he shot the cavalry on both sides of the melee together!"
Xu Shicheng's expression changed: "Shoot on both sides at the same time? This, this is to kill Qi Qianqian's cavalry, how can Senior Brother Songfeng agree?"
Li Nanfeng said bitterly: "If you don't do this, how will you deal with the Jin army's cavalry? You really want our infantry to rush forward and fight melee. Damn it, we don't even have many spears. We mainly use long swords and broadswords." Close combat soldiers and cavalry can come and go freely, but if we get away from this hillock, we will be doomed."
Xu Shicheng nodded: "Understood, I will set up the formation as you said now, but it will take some time. We don't even have a baggage box now, and they won't send it to us for Qi Qianqian. What should we do? "
Li Nanfeng gritted his teeth: "Take five hundred infantrymen to move the boxes first. The whole army will retreat to the line of this hill. I hope it's not too late. Also, give me all the obstacles that can be found nearby, even a wooden stake. Bring it here for me, and pile all the armors from the dead people that were captured in front of the front line, and tell everyone that you must survive first before you have a chance to share the things!"
Taoist Songfeng finally ran to Qi Qianqian's side and said breathlessly: "Old Qi, Old Qi, stop taking things. Something serious has happened. Come with me quickly."
Qi Qianqian sneered: "What are you going to do? You want to trick me into going to war, right? You first pay back my brother's life, and then talk to me."
Taoist Songfeng waved his hand anxiously and said: "This time the Jin army is coming with cavalry, and they are coming directly to kill us. Look, they are less than three miles away from us."
Qi Qianqian narrowed his eyes, looked in the direction of the cavalry, and murmured: "It's the Jin army that's coming? I thought it was the soldiers and horses of Tianshi Dao, my dear, this momentum is not small, They are the elite of the Jin army."
Having said this, he turned back to the sergeants behind him and said: "Okay, the Jin army is coming, stop taking things, take our trophies, and leave the battlefield now!"
