Before dawn, there was a torrential rain that baptized this bloody wasteland.
"Click."
A white lightning bolt visible to the naked eye exploded dozens of miles away, and many sergeants were terrified, their armor became extremely heavy after being soaked in their underwear.
The ground under his feet was still able to walk like a fly at first, but later, it was already difficult.
Muddy, following behind the cavalry, only to walk the muddy horseshoe path.
"General, the gate of Fangling City is wide open, Li Yan leads the Snapdragon battalion out of the city, do our army want to meet the battle?"
"Li Yan wants to hold us back, so you don't have to turn around to face the battle."
Chen Zhi watched the rain get heavier and heavier, "Quick, retreat to the mountains and forests." ” "The general is such a thunderous man, how can he escape into the jungle, if he is struck by lightning, I am afraid that the morale of the army will be completely dissipated."
Chen Zhi glared coldly at the military marquis who came to him, "If you don't go into the jungle, we will be surrounded by the Jiangdong army before and after, our army has been marching to Fangling for two days, the Jiangdong army Nanjun battalion has been reported, the brigade of foot soldiers is very likely to be dozens of miles away now, if you fight, even if you win a miserable victory, you will be entangled, if you want to die, then stay here." ” After speaking, Chen Zhi glanced around at the long dragon marching in the middle of the night, and then at the sporadic firelight moving slowly on the path in the direction of Fangling, "Bai Yu soldiers, turn the horse's head with me, and prepare to meet the Jiangdong Iron Cavalry, Deng Fang, Zhuo Ying, and Ru will bring the foot soldiers into the mountains and forests, march along the north bank of the river, and withdraw the army to Xiangyang." ” "Whoa."
The second general Deng Fangzhuo took a deep look at Chen Dao, who turned around and led a large group of horsemen to rush into the rain curtain, and immediately turned around, "Go, quickly." ” On the hill not far away, the sergeant lying in the mud and wearing a hat on his head changed slightly, "Look, Chen's iron horse is coming to Fangling." ” "Don't worry, at nightfall, the wounded soldiers left on the south bank have already arrived to converge, and now there are more than 1,600 horsemen under the command of General Li Yan, which is similar to the Bai Yu soldiers."
"Chen Zhi wants to make a desperate fight, you stay here, wait and see if the infantry behind him will return, and I will return to the horse to report."
"Whoa."
The two sentinels parted ways, and soon a fast horse escaped into the rain, and the thunder and lightning roared and the rain poured down, which was the best cover for these scouts.
Not long after, the scout had already marched to Li Yan, "Report to the general, Chen Zhi led a large group of cavalry to turn back, wanting to fight to the death." ” "Can you see him in the back of the team," Li Yan asked.
"It's headed northwest."
"After the cavalry is broken, let the brigade of foot soldiers withdraw while the rainy night, Chen Dao, your Bai Yu soldiers are elite, if you are a person and two horses to march at night, you can retreat with your whole body, you are going to turn back and fight with me, try to see if you can recapture Fangling" Li Yan smiled bitterly, he had already seen through Chen Dao's intentions.
He glanced back at the direction of Fangling, he went out of the city alone, Chen Yingshang was guarding the city, and he was enough to deter the gentry and wealthy families in Fangling City.
"Then let's fight, my Snapdragon Battalion, I can't be defeated by the Bai Yu soldiers."
"Drive."
In the middle of the night, the muddy roads could slow down the cavalry's rush, but they could not stop the iron horses from advancing like a tripping rope.
Go northwest, go straight, and gallop like a horse.
The sound of horses' hooves gradually blended into the impatient rainstorm, and the raindrops fell down their helmets, and many of the horsemen prostrate their upper bodies on their horses to prevent the rain from soaking directly into their eyes.
I don't know when, a large black shadow appeared in the rain curtain on the opposite side, so abrupt that it was detected and there were only dozens of steps between the two armies, and the swords and guns were about to fire.
All they heard was a roar from the army, "Raise your crossbow, shoot." ” "Boom", dozens of paces away, the arrows slashed the head and covered the ground, all of which pierced into the face of the oncoming iron horseman.
"Sharp arrows, kill the enemy."
Immediately after, there was another loud shout, it was still the strong man behind Li Yan, he was also a fellow villager of Chen Ying and Bao Long, everyone only knew that he was Hao Dazhuang, and his ancestors were three generations, all of whom were born in Orion.
But the moment the two armies clashed, they saw a burly figure fall off the horse, it was Hao Dazhuang, he was killed by Chen Zhi The moment Li Yan was killed, he stabbed him with a gun and died a miserable death.
On the eve of the rainy dawn, they could only see a shadow, so they pushed the blade diagonally forward with both blades.
If there is a "bang", it is a stab, and the enemy will scream and clench his teeth and make a muffled grunt.
If you don't get a stab, you need to withdraw your blade immediately, because when the cavalry rushes to kill, you often have to face more than one or two opponents, three or four people, and you will even have one enemy with a hundred.
A warm blood stained Chen Zhi's armor and cloak red, and when he turned around from more than a hundred paces away, he slammed his gun, "Kill." ” His roar was the last sound to come out of his throat, and he had been fighting people almost all the time for the past few days, and he was tireless, even on his favorite silver armor, there were many scars, which were left by the battle with the thousand horsemen of Commander Boron.
"Repeater, shoot."
Chen Zhi didn't know where these guys took out the second repeating crossbow, and there were still only bursts of arrows, but the two armies were hedged, but the distance of dozens of paces was almost unavoidable.
In the second wave of rapid fire, dozens of horsemen still fell to the ground.
Chen Zhi's heart was dripping blood, and his eyes were locked on Li Yan, who was facing him, as long as he captured and killed this general, this battle could be reversed.
"Change horses, ride and shoot."
Chen Zhi thought that the horsemen under his command were all one person and two horses, since he had the advantage of speed, why should he waste it.
"Driving" "Driving" The cavalry of the brigade made a detour to one side, and at a distance of more than twenty paces, it turned to the left flank.
"Put", stretching the bow and arrows, riding and archery of the nomadic tribes in the north, in Chen Zhi's opinion, these battle-hardened veterans must be able to do it.
At the same time, Li Yan also shouted at the top of his voice.
In the torrent of black armor behind him, countless horsemen stiffened their bodies and lay on the horse's back, this action was neat and uniform, and it was the same.
The messy arrows did not cause too many casualties to Li Yan's elite cavalry, but Li Yan turned over and jumped up from the other side of the war horse, and at the same time he stretched his bow and arrows on the war horse.
"Repeater, shoot."
It's still a repeater, but no matter how rich the elite cavalry of the Jiangdong Army is, they won't buy three pairs of two-shot repeaters per person.
They didn't forget to load their arrows in the interval after the fight just now Chen Zhi thought of the crossbow arrows he found when he was cleaning the battlefield yesterday, and they were all short arrows without arrow tails, and the lethality of this kind of arrows all relied on continuous shooting within thirty or fifty steps, and the arrows were three-edged barbs, which were extremely lethal, but after they were pulled out, they were basically scrapped.

Chen Zhi didn't have many crossbows captured, and for some reason, those Jiangdong wounded soldiers had to destroy this thing before they knew they were going to die, and besides, he didn't have time to build more short arrows.
"Is the short arrow easy to load":
