Chapter 205
Li Yu pointed his hand in the direction of Jinma Mountain and asked, "Is anyone entering the mountain to inquire?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a chirping sound from the jungle, and then, with a bang, the fireworks exploded in the air.
It's daytime now, and you can't see the fireworks, but you can tell it by the sound. It's the cannon of Feiwei Mansion.
The flying guards present changed their faces and shouted: "No! Your Highness! There are enemies in the forest!"
While speaking, three figures jumped out of the jungle, looking at the clothes and dressed up, all of them were flying guards.
These three people ran fast as if they were chased by ghosts. What's terrifying was that axes and spears kept flying out in the jungle.
A flying guard with a slightly slow speed was hit by a flying axe and threw him forward.
Seeing this, the two flying guards in front of him hesitated for a moment and then turned back, raised their injured companions and continued to run forward.
Another flying axe hit the back of a flying guard.
At the critical moment, an arrow shot from Li Yu, and it was unbiased and hit the flying axe.
There was a crisp clang in the earlobe, and the flying axe landed on the ground and the arrow bounced away.
Guan Ying shot this arrow.
The three flying guards who fled in a hurry also saw Li Yu and others. They ran and shouted: "Run quickly! There are ambushers in the forest! The cavalry of Xiaoyang Kingdom ambushed in the forest!"
When everyone heard the shouts of the three flying guards, they were shocked.
Chu Ren quickly walked to Li Yu and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness! Retreat quickly!"
They came on foot, while the other side was a cavalry.
If you don't leave now, the cavalry will rush out of the woods later, and they will not be able to leave even if they want to.
Li Yu narrowed his eyes and thought quickly in his heart.
He had fought with the Xiaoyang Army and knew a little about the Xiaoyang Army.
The people of Xiaoyang fight and are known for their bravery, but are not known for their cavalry.
To be precise, the number of cavalry in the Xiaoyang Army is extremely limited.
At best, it's only a few hundred riders.
Now this Xiaoyang cavalry has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Pyeongchang County, and the number should not be too large.
If we are ready for battle, then there will be a fight in this battle. If we all run back, then when the cavalry chases us, it will be completely crushing!
After measuring the pros and cons quickly in his heart, Li Yu made a decision, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone is in line and ready to face the enemy!"
Meeting the enemy?
Everyone looked at Li Yu in surprise.
Just about five hundred of them want to fight against the cavalry of the Xiaoyang Kingdom?
Li Yu took a deep breath and said loudly: "I have fought with the owl! The barbarians eat raw meat and drink blood, but have not yet bloomed. The barbarian cavalry only bathed in monkeys and were crowned, not worth mentioning. In today's battle, we will definitely wipe out the barbarian army!"
Of course, the flying guards knew that Li Yu had indeed fought with the people of Xiaoyang.
Now seeing Li Yu facing the Owl Cavalry, he was so confident that the flying guards quickly calmed down.
People followed Li Yu's orders and lined up the army.
Then, he took off the crossbows in unison and was ready for battle.
The three flying guards ran over first. Seeing that Li Yu and others had no intention of retreating, they instead set off and formed a formation to prepare for combat.
They said with a pale face and panting: "Your Highness..."
"You guys go and rest later!"
Li Yu nodded to the three of them, and then his eyes looked at the woods ahead.
Boom boom boom boom-
With the roar in the jungle, people obviously felt the ground under their feet begin to tremble.
That was a sign of the advancement of a large number of cavalry.
"Here you come!"
Li Yu looked ahead without turning his eyes and muttered.
Lu Fang walked to him.
"Your Highness is so bold!"
"Real person protects me!"
Both spoke almost at the same time.
Then, they looked at each other again.
“…”
“…”
It's really relatively speechless.
Soon, the first cavalry rushed out of the woods.
The cavalryman had a disheveled hair, bare-haired upper body, wearing a leather skirt and leather boots underneath.
He rode on the horse, holding the mane of the war horse in one hand and a scimitar in the other.
It’s really a native of Xiaoyang!
Li Yu licked his dry lips and slowly raised his arms.
As he raised his hand, there were a burst of clamors behind him.
Five hundred flying guards picked up the crossbow almost at the same time and aimed at the Xiaoyang cavalry opposite.
Soon, more and more Xiaoyang cavalry urged their horses to run out of the woods and began to gather in front of the woods.
Not long after, the Xiaoyang cavalry gathered in front of the woods had become a black area.
There must be at least five or six hundred riders.
Seeing this, many Feiwei's foreheads were covered with sweat.
In ancient times, cavalry had an overwhelming advantage over infantry.
When the number of both sides is equal, the cavalry can completely crush and massacre the infantry.
What's more, the current situation is that the number of cavalry on the opponent seems to be higher than that on our own.
Can this battle really be won?
People subconsciously looked at Li Yu.
Although Li Yu had his back to everyone, he could not see his face, but through his straight back, it was not difficult to see that he was not afraid at all.
As a prince and the chief general, Li Yu's calmness brought everyone a strong sense of self-confidence.
Of course, if they knew that Li Yu's waist was straight at this time, it was just because of too tense and stiff muscles that they had just developed, and the self-confidence they had just developed might collapse in an instant.
Damn it!
Why are there so many people?
Did Xi Yu send out all the cavalry in the Su Nu tribe?
Li Yu was thinking in his mind that a whimpering horn sound came from the opponent's cavalry camp.
As the horn sounded, the neighing of war horses came one after another. Then, the Xiaoyang cavalry of five or six hundred cavalry launched a cavalry charge.
For a moment, the roar of horse hooves swept over, the earth shook, the grass stems and the soil were flying high.
Li Yu sighed, tried to calm down, and said, "Guanying, distance measurement, forty steps!"
With his order, Guan Ying immediately pulled out an arrow, tied a red belt to the arrow shaft, and then twisted the bow and shot the arrow out.
The arrow drew an arc in the air, and with a sound of a dog, it nailed to the ground.
The red band tied to the arrow shaft flutters in the wind, which is extremely eye-catching.
The arrow shaft is exactly forty steps away from them, which is the range of the crossbow.
As long as the opponent's cavalry crosses the shaft, it will enter the range of its own.
Li Yu stared at the oncoming cavalry, and the flying guards were also staring at them with all their attention.
Chu Ren, Yan Wen and Feng Tang moved behind Li Yu without leaving any trace and protected him in a fan shape.
The first and fastest war horses crossed the arrow shaft, and then one war horse after another entered within forty steps.
Li Yu waved his arm forward and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"
With Li Yu's order, the three lieutenants shouted in unison: "Shoot the arrow—"
