Zhen Wu held up his machete: "I'll take the people with me!"
"Come with Gai Yue!" Zhou Che said.
Gai Yue was worried: "Where is your safety?"
"If you drive away the bandit army, I will be safe."
"good!"
The two led hundreds of horses and rode away.
Zhou Che asked Qian Hongxue again: "Is there any money in the treasury?"
"Yes, but not much." Qian Hongxue said.
"Go get them all!"
"yes!"
After Qian Hongxue left, Zhou Che arranged for the old beggar: "Go, gather everyone and ask them to come to the grain depot."
"yes!"
People are gathering.
At the foot of the mountain, the bandits were advancing rapidly.
Zhen Wu led his people to a relatively flat area on the mountainside.
Ahead, at the turning point of the mountain road, the bandits were meandering on the mountain road, swarming up like ants in front and back.
After discovering Zhen Wu's group of people, the people at the front stopped and waited for their companions to arrive.
At this moment, nearly two hundred people had gathered.
Zhen Wu picked up the machete and rushed forward with his men.
"Wait a moment." Gai Yue stopped him.
"What are you waiting for?" Zhen Wu was puzzled: "If there are more people, we won't be able to rush in."
"Wait for their commander to show up." After a pause, Gai Yue continued: "Wait for a while, if no one comes yet, we will take action."
After a hundred more people arrived, a man on horseback and armor appeared.
He was wearing thick armor and was surrounded by several knights, holding shields to protect him in the center.
There were two more people behind him, holding high the captain's flag.
"That's it!"
Without waiting for Gai Yue to agree, Zhen Wu didn't want to delay any longer, so he immediately rushed out!
Being able to kill a general can greatly intimidate the enemy, but if the enemy is allowed to come up, it will be difficult to defeat them with just a hundred men.
He waved his machete and shouted: "Follow me and push these bastards down the mountain!"
The relationship between the family guard and the family head is not just that of a worker and a boss, but that of being subordinate to the master.
Many of them don't even have parents or relatives, but they can't be without owners.
The Zhen family will give them wives, children, residence, money and food. Once they lose their master's family, they will have nothing.
Therefore, these people are absolutely loyal.
In their understanding: they can die, but their master cannot die!
If he dies, his master will treat his wife and children favorably.
If he is alive but Zhen Wu dies, it will be because he failed to protect his master, and the whole family will suffer!
For these men who rely on martial arts to make a living, what is more important than family?
As for the minister dying for the Lord, this is the ultimate correctness of this era.
Therefore, after Zhen Wu charged, they suddenly accelerated and tried their best to rush in front of the young master!
This section of the mountain is not very long, but it is enough for the speed of these more than a hundred riders.
"How dare you counterattack!?"
The captain of the bandit army who boarded here was also shocked.
The opponent's military strength is far weaker than our own. They don't hold on to the mountain and defend it, but they still dare to use their only combat power to fight.
Leaving aside the rest, the commander on the other side is definitely courageous!
"Stay close to each other! Put your shield up!"
"The spearmen are on the second line!"
"The archer throws an arrow!"
He gave the order quickly.
But the distance is too short!
The running cavalry will not give them much time to organize at all.
While the formation of the front row was still changing chaotically, the cavalry had already reached within fifty paces.
The archers didn't care much and quickly threw forward.
It is different from people's understanding that an arrow can knock down a large area.
The requirements for arrows to hit and kill are very high.
First of all, the hit rate of arrows is very impressive, especially when they are thrown and the enemy is moving at high speed.
Secondly, the distance must be close enough. If the distance is too far, you can only scratch and cannot get in at all, let alone bleed.
Then, you have to shoot in the right place.
Taking projectiles as an example, arrows mostly land on the head - there is an iron helmet on the head, so the arrow cannot go in.
If it falls on the shoulder, the shoulder armor of a fully armored soldier is reinforced and cannot be shot.
Finally, there is the issue of armor penetration.
There are requirements for bow and arrow craftsmanship, bow bending strength, shooting distance, angle, etc.
Only when these requirements are met can an armored soldier be brought down.
For example, in this wave, when a wave of arrows fell, several of the running knights had arrows embedded in their bodies, but their armor was not broken, and they still charged with the team!
By the time the archers were about to throw out the second wave of arrows, Zhen Wu had already rushed into the crowd.
"kill!"
Zhen Wu shouted, and the machete suddenly swung down with the speed of his horse.
puff!
Two heads flew up at the same time.
Blood spurted all over his face.
The man became completely excited, screaming for fight and swinging the knife wildly.
Some people are afraid of blood and would kill a chicken without closing their eyes.
But some people get more excited the more they chop - like Zhen Wu, he is a born warrior.
The infantry had little resistance against the charging cavalry.
As for the Zhen family, they can be selected as the bodyguards of wealthy families, and their strength is also higher than that of ordinary thieves.
The advantage of having both war horses and armor is even greater.
Amidst the wild shouts of killing, the dull sound of the blade piercing bone and flesh was heard, and blood spurted out.
The hacked soldier clutched his throat and fell to the ground in pain.
The more than 300 people who boarded were immediately rushed back.
"No retreat!"
"The spearmen are on top!"
"Get behind the corpse and choose the terrain to avoid the war horse!"
The captain shouted fiercely, drew his saber, and chopped down the two thieves who were running away in confusion.
He tried to steady the person in front of him while calling for help from behind.
He was also very smart, letting his left and right bodyguards and shield warriors defend him in the center before moving forward.
The infantry scattered by the cavalry are like ants scattered by the waves.
At this moment, they need a boulder to hold up in the wild waves!
The 'ants' can quickly cling to each other and use the boulder to reorganize themselves.
At this time, the role of a general's martial arts was revealed.
If you can jump out, cut through the incoming wave with a sword, and force it to flow back, you can turn defeat into victory: kill the enemy general across swords and spears, and in formation - this is the best.
If we can tighten up our formation, withstand the pressure, and re-stabilize the situation - this is a better performance.
If you see an enemy coming, just run with him - that's the worst thing you can do.
This captain's performance was still up to standard.
Gai Yue saw his intention and shouted to Zhen Wu: "Urge the cavalry and charge forward a little further!"
"How much?!" Zhen Wu asked.
"Twenty steps is enough!"
"good!"
Zhen Wu opened the way, and the cavalry advanced another twenty steps.
In the process, the enemy infantry was crowded to the point of being crowded.
In addition to stepping on each other, a kind of rebound naturally formed.
Three knights fell off their horses with guns drawn, which made Zhen Wu both distressed and angry.
He swung the knife away and charged again himself.
"enough!"
At this moment, there was a loud roar beside him.
Gai Yue straightened up, his legs stood firmly on the horse's back, and he pulled his hands from his waist.
Whoosh——
A cold light flew out!
Gai Yue stood on horseback, while the captain sat on horseback.
The former is high, the latter is low, the flying sword flies from top to bottom, diagonally!
Although there were shields and soldiers in front of the captain, they still could not block the sword.
When the man heard the roar of the sword, he suddenly looked up and saw a white light hitting his face.
There was a sudden chill on his back, and before he could even raise the knife, he felt white light hitting his eyes and piercing his mind coldly.
Hot blood covered his world.
boom!
The body lay horizontally and fell down from the horse.
The newly gathered human hands quickly disintegrated!
"Mr. Gai's good tricks!"
Zhen Wu shouted and took the opportunity to rush forward.
The bandits who lost their leader completely lost their ability to resist, and swarmed down from the mountain pass!
