Chapter 342 Confrontation!

Chapter 342

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, and an invisible murderous aura emanated from these veterans of the Tang Dynasty. In a trance, it seemed that everyone was about to step on a fierce battlefield.

Bai Siling clearly sensed the changes in her surroundings, a dazed look flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she suddenly became a little confused when she looked at Wang Chong's figure.

This immature boy of fifteen or sixteen years old suddenly became mysterious and tall in her eyes.

At this moment, Wang Chong didn't notice Bai Siling's changes. Looking at the majestic murderous aura and fighting spirit emanating from the forty Tang veterans around him, Wang Chong nodded inwardly.

Although the Great Tang Dynasty has shown signs of weakening, the afterglow of the empire still shines, and these soldiers of the Great Tang Empire are still what I remember.

With such a team, Wang Chong would still dare to lead them to a battle even if they were facing ten times as many bandits and horse bandits as he was facing.

"Si Ling, please cooperate with me when we fight later."

Wang Chong suddenly turned his head and said to Bai Siling who was beside him.

"Ah! Ah!"

Bai Siling was in a hurry, as if she didn't expect Wang Chong to call her, but she quickly covered it up.

"Okay! Don't worry, I will fully cooperate with you when the time comes!"

Bai Siling nodded seriously. After all, as expected of being a child of the Bai family in the capital, Bai Siling quickly returned to normal.

"Okay, let's go!"

Wang Chong clamped his horse's belly, and the forty Great Tang cavalry immediately roared towards the place where the sound of killing came from the distance like a wind and clouds.

...

"My lord, another cavalry has arrived."

Just as Wang Chong and others rushed over, a pigeon descended from the sky. On the slope next to the official road, there were dense forests, and a huge jagged boulder stood on the side of the road. On the boulder, Zhou An, the strategist of the iron-clothed horse bandit, stretched out his right hand to catch the pigeon, unwrapped the message on the pigeon's leg, and handed it to "Li Tieyi", the leader of the iron-clothed horse bandit who was as strong as an iron tower.

"Hahaha, since they have come. Then pass the order,

Slow down the offensive. I finally got them here, and I don't want to scare them away. "

"Yes, leader!"

Zhou An took the order and left. Soon, this order spread throughout the iron-clad horse thieves. Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and others also obtained a rare respite.

"Hoof da da!"

Horseshoes burst out, and after about half a stick of incense, smoke and dust billowed on the official road to the east. Wang Chong took the lead and finally saw the scene of the battle.

On the official road several miles away from where Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and others were going to attack the bandits, bandits and horse bandits in different clothes were densely packed, covering the official road, forests, slopes, and treetops like a tide.

Surrounded by these ocean-like bandits and horse bandits, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and others were like rocks in the sea, isolated on a slope more than 30 feet away from the official road.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. The bodies of bandits, horse bandits, officers and horses were scattered on the ground between the official road and the slope.

Seeing this scene, the eyes of Wang Chong, Bai Siling, and forty Tang cavalry all turned red instantly.

For the first time since the departure of the 80 iron cavalry, there have been huge casualties. On the hillside, Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu relied on the trees and the surrounding terrain to barely block the attack of the iron-clothed horse thief, but the number of Tang cavalry around them had dropped from the original forty to twenty-three or four.

A total of sixteen or seven experienced Tang cavalry were killed in this forest. Each of the Great Tang iron cavalry is a master of the real martial arts realm, and has experienced hundreds of battles.

Such losses are not insignificant.

However, what is even more unbearable is that these respected imperial veterans died in disgrace at the hands of these bandits and horse bandits.

"My lord, I want to kill them all!"

Beside Wang Chong, Ma Song and the others clenched their fists, and their eyes suddenly became blood red. The other cavalry were also excited.

Soldiers can die on the battlefield without injustice or regret, but they should not die in obscurity and shame at the hands of bandits and horse bandits.

"Have you forgotten what I told you? Calm down! These iron-clothed horse thieves are definitely going to be killed, but they don't rush over in this way. Look at the other side, how many people are there?"

Wang Chong took a deep breath and stopped everyone. There was also a raging anger burning in his heart. In his previous life as a soldier, Wang Chong could understand the feelings of soldiers better than anyone else.

"...Moreover, although those soldiers died at the hands of the horse bandits, in the final analysis, they also died to protect Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu. From this point of view, at least their deaths are glorious!"

Wang Chong's last sentence played a role, and Ma Song and others' eyes suddenly became much clearer. That's right, as a fighter, the first and foremost task at any time is to protect your own coach.

Although Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu were not members of the army, they became veritable commanders from the moment they accepted the military order.

From this point of view, their death is honorable again.

Otherwise, with their abilities, there is still a great possibility of surviving.

"My lord, you say, we listen to you!"

Ma Song and the others regained their clarity. Pairs of expectant eyes fell on Wang Chong one after another, and the atmosphere was extremely dignified.

Wang Chong was silent for a while, and after a while, he suddenly patted his horse and jumped out of the army formation.

"Everyone is waiting here, contact with them is strictly prohibited without my order."

The voice rang in everyone's ears. Wang Chong had already jumped to the front of the battle formation, less than 50 feet away from the iron-clothed horse thief and the others.

Behind him, Bai Siling was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and chased after him.

"This iron-clothed horse bandit doesn't look very simple."

Bai Siling gritted her teeth and said:

"Their real martial arts masters seem to be no less than us!"

"It's not just that there are more real martial arts masters than us!"

Wang Chong sighed, using a voice that only Bai Siling could hear. The horse bandits have always been stronger than the bandits. In the previous missions, Wang Chong and the others hardly encountered any decent real martial arts masters.

But the group of horse thieves in front of them is impossible to use common sense to infer. Although they account for the majority, there are still hundreds of thieves below the real martial arts level.

But there are only seventy or eighty horse bandits in the real martial arts realm. Such strength is simply astonishing.

If the iron cavalry in the army were well-trained, experienced in many battles, and cooperated extremely well, far surpassing the horse bandits, Wang Chong would have given up his thoughts and turned around and left when he saw this group of horse bandits.

"...Si Ling, haven't you noticed? These people seem to be a group of mobs, but someone can mobilize them very well, and surround Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu in a place where the terrain is complex and the trees are dense, which is not conducive to the cavalry charge. , gallop, and exert its power on the hillside."

"Although Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and the others also used the map to block them, they were also trapped there to death. If the cavalry dismounted, would they still be cavalry? There are some masters among these horse thieves!"

Wang Chong sighed.

A group of powerful horse bandits is not scary, because they don't know how to cooperate with each other. On the frontal battlefield, a group of well-trained officers and soldiers can easily defeat a group of horse bandits of the same strength.

But if the horse bandits had the consciousness to cooperate, everything would be completely different.

"You mean the military division?"

Bai Siling said in astonishment.

"That's not the only thing I'm worried about. Didn't you find out? When we arrived here, the shouting and killing suddenly became much quieter."

Wang Chong said.

"what do you mean?"

Bai Siling was startled for a while, and then she didn't know what to think of, her whole face suddenly paled a lot.

"Um."

Wang Chong nodded, confirming her guess:

"If I'm not wrong, this person is quite ambitious!"

...

The appearance of Wang Chong and Bai Siling didn't just attract the horse thief's attention. On the hillside, Xu Qian, Huang Yongtu and others also noticed this scene.

"Si Ling, Si Ling and the others are here!"

Under the big tree, Huang Yongtu stood up and watched the officers and soldiers on the official road trembling with excitement.

In just a few hours, Huang Yongtu's life has never been so long. For a moment, he was almost desperate.

In any case, the 40-man Tang cavalry could not resist the 600 or 700 bandits and horse bandits.

Huang Yongtu was only supported by his desire to survive.

Huang Yongtu never expected that when he was most desperate, it would be Wang Chong and Bai Siling who came to save him.

He parted his lips, wanting to call Wang Chong's name, but until this time, Huang Yongtu was embarrassed to find that even though they walked together for so long, he still didn't know Wang Chong's name.

"It's useless, they can't rush through at all."

Just when Huang Yongtu was very excited, a basin of cold water poured over from the side. Captain Zhang Ju's chest heaved and heaved, his face was pale, and because of excessive physical exertion, he looked very weak.

And his body was already covered with scars from too fierce fighting, and his body was already stained red with blood.

Among this group of people, although Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu are the leaders in name, the real leader is actually Zhang Ju.

It was he who blocked the opponent's tide of attacks many times by himself, and saved Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu.

But again, it hurt him more than anyone else.

Now, Zhang Ju himself doesn't know how long he can hold on.

Soldiers take obeying orders as their bounden duty, and the only thing driving Zhang Ju to persevere now is to send Xu Qian and Huang Yongtu out safely no matter what.

In addition, no matter what, you can't die humiliatingly under the knife of a group of horse thieves.

This is Zhang Ju's belief!

"Lieutenant Zhang is right, there are too many of them. We can't be opponents at all. Even if you add Si Ling and the others, it's the same. Moreover, the leader of the horse bandit hasn't made a move yet, and you have seen his horror before. He will never let us escape. Siling and the others are just sending them to their deaths."

Xu Qian leaned on a big tree and said. His right hand clutched his chest, blood gushing from it.
