Chapter 97: Tyrant vs Tyrannical
At noon, the fierce battle reached a critical moment. At the beginning of the war, the 58 cavalry and the 63 cavalry were not decided after a melee. The two sides lost more than half of the battle, but their fighting spirit was still high. We must see the best today.
When fighting against small cavalry, the test of personal skills, riding skills, shooting skills, spear skills, and cooperation, these factors determine the result of a small-scale melee.
Mei Linsheng always felt that he was skilled in his skills and skilled in archery and horses. On weekdays, he always had to play tricks with his companions to compete with his abilities. Now that it was time to be desperate, he realized that his confidence was too ridiculous.
He was shot in five arrows, his mount was injured, and his horse spear was broken. From the sudden encounter, Mei Lin shot ten arrows, but none of them were killed. Instead, he inserted a few arrows on his body. If he hadn't been wearing the armor issued by the government army, he would have died long ago.
Riding a horse and fighting is completely different from hunting. People are much smarter than prey. They can not only hide and run, but also fight back. This is the first time that Mei Linsheng has experienced superb riding skills. The enemy can actually play various tricks on the horse's back. As a result, he didn't kill alone, but was almost killed.
He tried his best to stab five enemies to death, and he was exhausted, but the fatal thing was that the other party's leader targeted him. The two fought together, and Mei Linsheng gradually fell into a disadvantage.
The other party's horse was better than him, and his skills were better than him. If he had not destroyed his horse spear at the cost of three lives, Meilin would have been stabbed to death by the other party at this time.
Both sides are now using short spears to stab each other. Mei Linsheng's technique of using spears is average. Fortunately, his arm strength is strong and he can barely hold on until now. He finally seized an empty space and stabbed the spear, but was hit by the other party.
At that moment, Mei Linsheng felt that the other party's strength seemed to be ineffective. Sure enough, after a few more rounds, the other party flapped his spear, turned his horse's head and ran away.
As the so-called "one force reduces ten times", Mei Linsheng felt that it was because of his strength that forced the other party to escape. He shook his energy and chased after him. As he saw that he was about to catch up, the man suddenly pulled his mount, his speed dropped sharply, and at the same time he turned around and turned around and was a spear.
The spearhead was thrust straight into Meilinsheng's heart. He was shocked. Seeing that he could not avoid it, he turned his head to the side. He finally avoided this fatal blow, but he was almost falling off his horse.
The opponent missed a blow, and was just in parallel with the horse that Meilinsheng was riding. Then he pulled out a dagger and poked it, making Meilinsheng's mount almost jump up and shake him off the saddle.
Meilin, who was falling off the horse, had one foot stuck in the stirrup, and was dragged forward by his mount. In his upside down, he saw the enemy catching up with his spear.
There is no doubt that the other party deliberately revealed flaws and deceiving defeat, seducing Meilin to chase after him, and then he returned to his horse and spear.
In addition to being strong enough, Mei Linsheng was not as good as the other party in riding, shooting, scheming, and experience. He ended up like this and was self-inflicted. At this time, he was dragged by his mount and rubbed against the ground on his back. Although he had armor to protect his body, the feeling was not good.
The enemy chased after him with a spear, afraid that he would make up for it. Mei Linsheng knew that his life was about to end.
But he was unwilling to give up.
The Mei family is a powerful man in Mianzhou. More than 20 years ago, a maid who was made big by the head of the Mei family was driven out mercilessly by the family's wife and gave birth to a baby boy in the woods.
After all, it is a seed of the Mei family, and the wife is busy dealing with other vixen, so the mother and son return to the Mei family. The baby boy was named "Meilinsheng" because he was born in the woods.
As a concubine's son, Mei Linsheng was destined to have no chance to inherit the family business. Perhaps he would have to live under the shadow of his legitimate brothers in this life, so he had to rely on his own efforts to change his destiny.
It is difficult for a concubine's son to have the opportunity to stand out. Even if Meilin kept working hard after growing up and was praised by his father, he could not compare to his legitimate brothers. After all, his legitimate mother's family is also a powerful man in the Han Mian area. The legitimate brothers have support, and he cannot afford to provoke him.
Mei Linsheng's life journey has known what it will be like for decades since he became an adult. He was unwilling to give up, but he had no choice. It was not until the King of Xiyang summoned the strong sects from all over the country to send troops, that he had waited for the opportunity.
The King of Xiyang was fighting in Huaixi and was short of soldiers, so he summoned the powerful people in the Huangzhou General Administration to send clan soldiers to assist in the war, but the territory was not limited to the Huangzhou General Administration. Many families were moved when they heard the news and sent concubines to lead clan soldiers to assist in the war, including the Mei family.
The reason why everyone is willing to work hard is because the King of Xiyang promised benefits, and those who made meritorious people gave rewards, official positions, and even land and forts.
Where did the fort come from? After the disobedient Huaixi tyrants destroyed the clan, the Shannan clan soldiers who made contributions could take their fort and their land for themselves - the premise was that the merits were made enough.
The King of Xiyang wants to use the powerful to deal with the powerful. The price given is very high, but the risk is also very high.
Of course, the powerful people in Huaixi are not wastes, and they will inevitably suffer heavy losses in fighting with each other. However, for the powerful people in Shannan, this is a good opportunity to give the children of the clan a chance to enter the official career and allow the family to grow branches and leaves in the Huaixi region where the land is fertile.
But the risk is indeed great, so it is the time for the concubines who are willing to take risks to take action.
The family business belongs to the legitimate sons. If the idea-related sons want to make a name for themselves, there is a chance now. If you are willing to go, the family will send some clan soldiers to help the battle. Whether it will be successful depends on your fate.
If you die, you can't blame others. If you make contributions, you will either have a single official position or make great contributions and become the lord of the fortress recognized by the government. As long as you pay the rent honestly, the fortress will be yours in the future.
This is not a lie to the King of Xiyang, because someone really made great contributions and then climbed to capture Xiawu Fort first, and was appointed by Xiyang as the lord of the fortress. He led the tribe members who came to the news and began to farm and settle down.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I am unwilling to give up!
Mei Linsheng thought so, when the spear was stabbed down, he magically reached out and grabbed the spearhead, and then pulled his arms hard to pull the other party off.
The man let go of his short spear and rode his horse to step on Mei Linsheng. Mei Linsheng poked the short spear straight under the other party's mount. After a click, the horse was tripped and the person on the horse was caught off guard and was thrown out.
Mei Linsheng kicked his mount's abdomen with his other leg desperately, shouting and cursing. The mount, which was running with pain, finally remembered the experience of being driven by his master, and calmly slowed down and stopped.
Mei Linsheng, who was out of trouble, got up and rushed towards the enemy who had fallen to the ground. Seeing the other party getting up in a mess, he smashed the stone he had picked up at him.
Taking advantage of the man dodging sideways, Mei Linsheng pulled the two sides closer, and then saw clearly that the other party had a dagger in his hand, while he only had a handful of sand he had just grabbed.
With his left hand raised, Mei Linsheng successfully confused the other party's eyes. He held the dagger and waved it around and rushed straight over.
The arm was scratched, Mei Linsheng knocked the other party down, and the dagger flew to one side. The two of them fought on the ground for a while. Mei Linsheng touched a stone from the ground and smashed it hard to the other party's forehead.
After a few consecutive strokes, the man's forehead was broken by Mei Linsheng, his face was covered in blood, and he gradually became powerless to resist, and he seemed to be about to lose his life.
It was not until then that Mei Linsheng saw clearly the enemy's appearance: not only to remove the blood, but it was a fair face, with a good appearance, and in his twenties.
The armor is not military uniforms, it looks white and skillful, and may not be the children of any major clan.
I don’t know if you are born in a illegitimate family or a legitimate family?
Mei Linsheng thought so, and used all his strength to hold the stone and hit the other person's forehead again. Blood splattered, and the man had no breath anymore.
The sound of horse hooves was approaching. He turned around and saw that his own people were approaching. Then he looked at the battlefield and decided the outcome: except for a few fish that escaped the net, the rest of the enemies he encountered unexpectedly were killed by them.
Several soldiers of the tribe dismounted, stepped forward and helped Mei Linsheng, covered in blood, and asked with concern: "Mr. Lang, is it okay?"
"It's okay, I'm fine..." Mei Linsheng said tiredly. At this moment, he felt sore all over his body and his strength was almost gone, but he still did not forget to instruct his subordinates: "Hurry up, go and cut the head!"
"Don't worry, I won't miss one!"
Meilinsheng sat down again, sat on the ground to rest, looking at the messy field, looking at the young corpse in front of him, and holding his hands tightly again because of the loss of strength.
This area is a "hunting ground" assigned by the official army. As long as prey breaks in, unless the strength is very different, he will clean up the prey.
The first level you get can be calculated, but you will never allow the killing of good people to make a fortune. Once the consequences are discovered, the team that has made a meritorious contribution will have a heavy responsibility based on their performance.
Of course, this will lead to higher risks, but the benefits will also increase. This is the promise made by the King of Xiyang in public, and no one doubts whether it can be fulfilled in the end.
Of course, Mei Linsheng has ambitions, but he dare not expect too much. His strength is not enough. Even if he fails to make great achievements, as long as he can have a job or a half, he will be worthy of his life and death.
