Chapter 1333 Three-Way Battle
"Mount up and fight." He Lingchuan gave an order, and the knights rode on horses and held spears, and the battle was solemn.
Although Wu Maxu was dead, the Wu Ma family was not a good thing.
Butler Zou huddled on the ground and shouted for mercy.
The leading black-armored knight turned his horse's head and ran out of the yard.
The others followed closely.
Butler Zou thought he had escaped, and just as he was about to lie on the ground to breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a chill and pain on the back of his neck, and he knew nothing.
Wanqi Liang pulled back his spear, and a string of blood beads slid down the tip of the spear.
It was such a quick death, and it was a good thing for this lackey. He spat on the ground and rode his horse to catch up with the main force.
The battle was about to begin. He Lingchuan rode his horse while assigning tasks to his men:
"We are not familiar with Green Villa, and we don't have an advantage in terms of terrain, so we should try to fight in an open area. Just now, I saw the torches of the farmhands from a high place, and they were arranged in a two-wing formation."
This formation is suitable for outflanking a small number of enemies. Apparently Wu Madan had learned that the number of black-armored cavalry was small, and was ready to make a fool of them.
He Lingchuan had his own tactical cuts. He brought 30 cavalry this time. Although there were not many people, their combat power and mobility were very strong. Even if the enemy on the opposite side doubled or tripled, he was confident that he could defeat them in one go.
In a small-scale conflict like this, the first wave of offensive is the key. Whoever can't withstand it first will lose.
"Wu Madan also went to war with his father. It is said that he killed several enemies on horseback. Don't take it lightly!" He Lingchuan solemnly explained, "Even if the hawk fights the rabbit, it will also do its best!"
Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"
The black-armored army must be extremely cautious in their actions.
More than ten feet ahead, there is an open grassland. The black-armored cavalry team split up into small pieces according to He Lingchuan's request and dispersed instantly.
There were only five cavalry left beside He Lingchuan, including Dong Rui.
Wu Ma's torch had already appeared in the field of vision.
The other side also had dozens of cavalry approaching quickly, followed by a group of farmhands. If they ran another hundred feet, the two sides would be in close combat.
Judging from the number of people, there should be more than 150, which exceeded the estimate.
They were all shocked when they saw the black-armored army, especially He Lingchuan, who was in the lead.
Such an army emerged in the dark night, led by such a monster that looked like a human but not a human. Wu Ma was not sure what they were, and the farmhands behind them subconsciously slowed down their pace.
"Within a hundred steps--" He Lingchuan gave an order, "--shoot!"
The enemy advanced a hundred steps, and a rain of arrows shot from all directions.
Several cavalrymen on the other side were hit by arrows, and the horses and men cried. But most of them raised their shields to block it, and at most the cavalry became infantry and could continue to move forward.
Afterwards, Wu Ma also fired back with a wave of arrows, and the target was of course the five people of He Lingchuan in front.
The distance between the two sides was shortened to fifty steps in an instant.
The black-armored knights ambushed on both sides immediately rode out and rushed to the enemy's flank.
Their role is to hold back the enemy on the flanks to prevent them from being outflanked, and at the same time to block the farmhands of Green Villa and disconnect them from the cavalry in front.
Someone from the enemy side shouted loudly, and He Lingchuan guessed that it was the owner of the villa, Wu Madan, who was about fifty meters away. There were obviously many enemies rushing into the villa, but there were only five cavalrymen in front of him. Wu Madan could also predict that the rest of the enemies must be scattered and ambushed.
Therefore, his response was also very quick.
The Wu Ma family had not fought for more than ten years, and Wu Madan was able to pick up his previous lessons, which was worthy of being a local tyrant.
"Whose men are you!" Wu Madan's voice came from the formation, "Where is my son?"
He hadn't heard of any new forces rising nearby, so this group of black-armored cavalrymen who were hiding their heads and showing their tails were mostly thugs sent by some nearby enemy.
But the dragon-headed mask in front looked a little creepy and strange.
Before He Lingchuan could answer, several sharp and long howls suddenly sounded from the south!
Like a night owl, a baby crying, and a lion roaring, all exploding at the same time is a weird combination.
The noise of the horses galloping here is already very loud, but it can't suppress these roars.
And they are coming from far away, judging from the direction of the sound source, the movement speed is very fast!
Wu Ma was a little stunned, he had never heard such a noise before.
Dong Rui said, "It can't be such a coincidence?"
The monsters mentioned by Xiao An and the villagers of Chenjiazhuang happened to come at this time?
But if you calculate the time, it seems to be about the same.
If Xiao An or someone around Xiao An gets into trouble, these monsters will appear soon.
He Lingchuan made a prompt decision: "The original plan remains unchanged, rush into the enemy camp! Quick!"
Judging from the position of the enemy and us, the monsters will come from the south and will first attack the black armor army. This variable will definitely disrupt his original layout. If He Lingchuan doesn't want to be attacked from both sides, he must first bring the disaster into Wu Ma's team.
Judging from the performance of these monsters in Chenjiazhuang, they are extremely brutal and bloodthirsty. They don't mind killing while chasing their targets.
He Lingchuan knocked the horse's belly, and the mount suddenly rushed forward. The five people advanced in a V-shape, and he was the arrow rushing in the front!
In the blink of an eye, they were in close combat.
Since he was the first to take the lead, he had to bear the most attacks. At this moment, five or six long weapons stabbed He Lingchuan, wanting to make more blood holes for him and his mount.
He Lingchuan shook his left arm, and the soul-catching mirror turned into a giant square shield, swinging it forward diagonally. The three long spears in the left front pierced the shield, and the force was all removed. One of them was even broken.
The recoil force took effect, and the unlucky guy holding the spear was directly shaken off the horse's back. Coincidentally, the cavalry in the back row also rushed forward, so the unlucky guy died tragically under the iron hoof of his companions without a sound.
Facing the two spears on the right, He Lingchuan blocked the attack with the Soaring Dragon Spear in his right hand. The first spear was swung away and collided with the second one.
After getting rid of the spear trap in front of him, he retained his strength and directly collided with the cavalry in the rear row with his men and horses.
The soul-capturing mirror showed its power again, and when the two sides were about to collide, it reflected an arc of light at a tricky angle, piercing the opponent's eyes.
The current environment was relatively dark, and Wu Ma only had a torch to draw light from. The man was suddenly exposed to strong light and instinctively twisted his head and closed his eyes.
After such a pause, he had no chance to notice that the giant shield suddenly enlarged in front of his eyes, and then——
With a bang, he was sent flying.
He Lingchuan was so powerful that he passed several people in a row. Four knights in black armor followed closely behind, piercing into the enemy formation like sharp knives.
The Wuma clan's vanguard collapsed like toppled building blocks.
This was not only because He Lingchuan and others rushed down the mountain like tigers, but also because the fear barrier released by the Qianglong armor made enemies within a ten-foot radius tremble secretly.
Within this range, as long as the enemy of the black-armored leader is not determined enough, the fear in his heart will be immediately amplified. Fighting requires courage and morale. If the soldiers are wary, how can they dare to move forward?
Therefore, the more ferocious He Lingchuan becomes, the more fearful his enemies become. This is an intractable cycle on the battlefield.
It stands to reason that if the five of him rush forward to kill, the enemies on the two wings will move forward to outflank them, trap them in the center, and surround and annihilate them.
However, the other two groups of black-armored troops arranged by He Lingchuan had rushed out from the sides and tightly tied the two wings of the Wuma clan. The encirclement was still difficult to finalize.
Wu Madan, who was not far away, looked shocked when he saw this.
The Wuma family trained four hundred cavalry using the family's military training methods, and they became invincible in the local area. Wu Madan can even pat his chest and guarantee that none of the officers and soldiers are of such high quality. This is one of the main reasons why local officials have always been polite to the Wuma family.
Although there are only a few dozen knights left in the village today, where did this black-armored army come from, and why are the knights tearing apart witches and horses with their hands like they are tearing pieces of paper?
Wu Madan had many thoughts in his mind, and his hands were not idle, so he directed the village man behind him to step forward to supplement. Although the opponent's cavalry is powerful, its speed slows down after rushing into our own formation, and its lethality decreases accordingly. As long as they are divided and outflanked as soon as possible, there is still hope of victory.
But at this moment, several big trees in the woods to the south suddenly swayed, and two monsters made a grand appearance!
They had roared in protest before, but this time they saw the huge crowd and rushed forward without any further warning.
Two people are against two hundred, and they are not afraid.
Their size is far smaller than the war elephant corpse puppets captured by He Lingchuan in the Battle of Mian Village. They are only one size larger than the horses, making them less likely to become targets on the battlefield.
One of them looks like a tiger with yellow fur. If it weren't for the missing iconic vertical lines, He Lingchuan would have thought Jiao Yu was here.
But its tail is not a stick-shaped tiger tail, but a long, knotted fork!
This thing is dark and even longer than a tiger's body. It looks like a scorpion's tail at first glance, but the top is not a poison sac or a sharp hook, but a pair of thick scissors!
It happened that two villagers blocked its way, so everyone had the opportunity to watch the monster fight.
It is very fast and has extremely powerful explosive power. As soon as it makes a short roar from its throat, it will throw the person face to face and seal its throat.
Blood spurted out from his neck.
Before the man died, Huang Hu scratched him, then used his sharp front claws to disembowel him and ate it.
The victim's throat was broken and he could not scream. He could only tremble and twitch.
The companions on the side roared to encourage themselves and stabbed Huang Hu with a gun. Unexpectedly, the latter didn't even raise his head or withdraw his claws. The scorpion tail behind him seemed to have eyes and knocked him away with his spear.
This tail was extremely flexible. Before the man could run away, it stabbed back again, and the scissor tip directly pierced his lungs!
This man actually still had some strength, so he pulled the tail away and tried to run. As a result, the tail moved up and pinched his neck.
With a click, the head fell to the ground!
This was the first time He Lingchuan had seen such a large pair of scissors cutting off a human head.
The surrounding villagers even exclaimed and retreated two feet away.
Such a ferocious monster attacks people, even more terrifying than the black-armored leader. No matter how tyrannical the latter is, he can only shoot one at a time, unlike this one where blood is flying everywhere and the scene is extremely uncomfortable.
The black shadows surrounding the Qianglong armor became denser. Although half of the fear in the enemy's heart is due to the newly appeared monsters, it can also fuel the fierce flames of the Qianglong Armor.
Everyone was still observing the monster, but Dong Rui had already exclaimed: "This is a high mountain tiger monster, with a hinged scorpion tail!"
