Chapter 98 The Newborn Calf

The rope fell down on his head and held the person riding on the horse firmly. The successful cavalry pulled the rope and pulled the opponent off the horse. Then he rode his horse and drove the enemy forward.

An arrow flew over, and the arrow shot down like a small shovel. He fell down and instantly rolled forward with his head in his arms, rolling forward a few times. As soon as he got up, he was shot in front of him and fell to the ground dejectedly.

The cavalry in the rope traps blocked the rope. After running a few steps, they were shot in the back by an arrow. They staggered for a few more steps, and were hit by the galloping enemy cavalry with a wooden stick.

With a "bang", the person who fled to his side was smashed to the ground and disappeared. I don't know if he fainted or died.

The successful cavalry had just retracted the wooden stick and hit an arrow in front of him. He fell back and fell to the ground without any movement.

Fifty steps away, Xue Shixiong, who shot three arrows in a row, endured the pain in his fingers, drew another arrow, staring at the enemy cavalry wandering around. He had done his best just now, but he could not save his companion. He had no time to sigh because he was in danger.

At this moment, Xue Shixiong and eleven subordinates were holding back to back, ready to shoot arrows at all times. They had several spears and horse lances under their feet, and the mounts had been killed, so they could only form formations on foot with the horse lances, spears, bows and arrows to deal with the enemy cavalry.

There are many arrows in the quiver, but there are also many enemies.

There were twelve people on our side and thirty-three horses on the other side. In this wilderness, Xue Shixiong and his subordinates were all hiking and could not escape. However, at the beginning of the encounter, the number of people on both sides was similar, fifty-one horses vs fifty-five horses.

The enemy cavalry was of extraordinary strength, and Xue Shixiong noticed it when he was fighting. Now, he was becoming more and more sure of his judgment. His soldiers were barely skilled in bows and horses. It was no wonder that such a result was achieved.

Although he is at a disadvantage and is very likely to die, Xue Shixiong is not afraid of anything.

The range of the archer's bow is farther than that of the rider's bow, and the surviving soldiers' shooting skills are better, so Xue Shixiong's only chance is to force the other party to "get down" like a hedgehog and have to retreat.

"You guys hurry up and draw the arrows, and the others will follow me to cover them!"

"Yes, General!"

The small formation began to move, approaching several corpses that fell to death not far away. They wanted to pull out the arrows from the corpses for later use. It was obvious that the enemy also realized this and began to change their tactics.

More than ten cavalry approached again, using cavalry shooting to harass them. Others dismounted, took the archer bow, and used the small shield on their left arm as a cover to approach Xue Shixiong's side. The infantry and cavalry combined and launched an attack based on the advantage of numbers.

The riding and shooting are flexible and the step shooting is strong. Under the left and right attacks, Xue Shixiong, who is at a disadvantage, cannot form an effective counterattack. Everyone has arrows on their bodies and is hard on their armor.

Thanks to the heavy armor, it can barely withstand the long-distance shooting, but as both sides get closer, the situation is in danger.

When he shoots the bow, he can't bear the armor-breaking arrows even if he has thick armor. Xue Shixiong still doesn't panic when he sees the enemy walking towards him. The more he is like this, the more he has to calm down. He bends his bow and aims at the enemy, waiting for the opponent to reveal his flaws.

A arrow shot, but Xue Shixiong did not avoid it. He took advantage of the enemy's time to protect himself with a small shield when he shot the arrow, and he spread a bowstring. He went over and hit the opponent's door directly, and his chest was also hit by the opponent's arrow shot.

A stinging pain came, and the arrow shot through the armor, hurting the flesh. Xue Shixiong no matter how his injury was, he drew another arrow. The same was true for others. With the armor on his body, he could get the chance to shoot arrows.

After several rounds of confrontation, four people died on Xue Shixiong's side and seven people died on the opposite side. Now eight people are against twenty-six cavalry, and Xue Shixiong's side is almost over.

The general was inevitably killed in the battle, and he died if he died. Xue Shixiong had already made a mental preparation and just wanted to kill a few more enemies before he died to earn enough money. However, it seemed that the other party wanted to keep a living mouth, that is, to capture prisoners.

Otherwise, why did you choose to shoot horses instead of shooting people at the beginning?

Thinking of this, Xue Shixiong suddenly asked, "Do you believe me?"

"We believe in the general!"

"Okay, trust me!!!"

After Xue Shixiong said that, he left the other seven people and turned around and ran away, without taking anything. Seeing this, the enemy cavalry divided two cavalry to chase him.

The sound of horse hooves was approaching, and an enemy general swept across the back of Xue Shixiong. Xue Shixiong rolled sideways and avoided a blow behind his head, but did not dodge the wooden stick of another rider.

He was hit hard by the opponent in the back and staggered to the ground. The enemy cavalry turned his horse's head and bent over to catch someone, but was caught by Xue Shixiong, who was stormed and pulled off his horse.

Seeing this, another cavalry came to stab the spear. Xue Shixiong drew out his dagger and threw it hard, and just hit the opponent's door. He picked up the spear and stepped onto the war horse, then took another horse, and rushed straight towards the enemy who was shooting down the horse.

The enemy cavalry suddenly didn't react, and the enemy soldiers who were dismounting and shooting arrows were caught off guard. They watched Xue Shixiong rushed over and fired a few arrows in a hurry.

After several arrows on his mount, Xue Shixiong jumped to another horse before he fell to the ground, waved his spear, rushed into the crowd, hitting and stabbing, instantly knocking down eight people, then rode his horse around, and then hitting and stabbing again, killing all the enemy soldiers.

He was hit by several arrows again, and the arrows penetrated the armor, and bursts of pain came. However, Xue Shixiong became more and more excited. Then he held the blood-stained spear and rushed towards the enemy cavalry that he had reacted.

His subordinates ran towards the unowned war horse. When they rode on the horse and wanted to fight the enemy cavalry, the opponent had been repelled by Xue Shixiong.

By turning the situation around the battle with his own strength, Xue Shixiong's strength excited the survivors. Looking at the brave general covered in arrows and blood, the new recruits who survived the disaster cheered.

They were not a serious official army before, but rather, the clans from various places who responded to the call to fight for their future with their lives. They were organized into Xue Shixiong's subordinates and followed him to the battlefield. Therefore, when the number of people was not much different, they were beaten very miserably by the other party.

If it weren't for Xue Shixiong, the recruits would have to explain it here.

Xue Shixiong, who repelled the enemy, rode his horse back and saw several survivors, and asked, "How, can you stand it?"

"General, we can stand it!"

"Are you afraid?"

"Not afraid, no fear!"

"Okay, you have to have this energy when you go to the battlefield! Don't be afraid even if you encounter a general who captures life!" Xue Shixiong smiled. As long as the soldiers who survived the fierce battle on the battlefield were not scared, they would grow very quickly.

When he heard him talking about "catching the live general", the recruits were a little confused. Xue Shixiong used his spear to lift a rope on the ground and said, "It is not easy to use a rope to condom people immediately. If you are not a veteran, you will not hit the target at all."

"They used this method to capture a few people alive and go back to question the military situation. It would be impossible to do this kind of life without being good at it. In the north, those who can do this are called life-catching generals, and one person can get three ordinary soldiers."

"Then...then are these elites among the enemy?"

"So what, are you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

"Just say it alone, can your skills survive the next battle without being tempered?"

If it were on weekdays, Xue Shixiong wouldn't be so long-winded, but now it's different. The King of Xiyang ordered him to take a newborn calf to the battlefield. No matter how much he survives, it will be under his control. There will be new people to supplement in the future, so these people will be good seeds.

Xue Shixiong was born in the Xue family in Hedong. His family was based in Hedong. Now under the control of the Yuchi family, he could not send anyone to Huaixi to live and die with him. Therefore, in the subsequent war, Xue Shixiong needed reliable subordinates to follow him to fight his life on the battlefield.

It was not too early and without saying much, Xue Shixiong ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield and restrain the bodies of his dead companions. At this moment, dozens of cavalry galloped in the north. When everyone looked closely, they were their own people coming to reinforce.

The area controlled by its own side was harassed by enemy cavalry on a large scale, so the King of Xiyang divided the area into "hunting grounds", and each "hunting ground" had many beacons.

Each "hunting ground" has a cavalry patrol and guarding. Once the enemy is discovered to be attacked, unless there is a huge difference, the enemy will be fought.

When the enemy is discovered, the "Sky Monkey" warning should be issued. When the beacon guards see the signal, they will smoke. When the cavalry near the area sees it, they will rush to reinforce as long as there is no enemy situation. Now, the friendly troops who have arrived after hearing the news arrive on the battlefield.
