”Light the fire, burn everything for me, leave nothing for Dong Zhuo to eat.” With Yang Lin's order, a group of cavalry soldiers rushed out, and threw the torches in their hands towards the tents, food, and supplies. The entire camp quickly burnt up, and the blazing flames burned through half the sky in an instant.
”Let's go!” Yang Lin looked at the burning camp, and his heart suddenly shrunk for no reason. With a wave of his hand, the cavalrymen turned their horses around and split into three different paths, one for the east, one for the north, one for the west. They quickly disappeared into the thick fog.
”Phew …” Li Que urged her horse to run up a slope, with one hand holding onto the horse reins and the other raising his spear, the group of people following closely behind him slowly stopped. His eyes were wide open, and he could only see the fire raging towards the sky in the direction of the Huaixian from the dense fog.
”What's going on? Could it be that Niu Fu, Zhang Ji and the others succeeded? ” Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel jealous. He himself led the cavalry soldiers in case Yang Lin ran away, but they got lucky. If they attacked the Youzhou's camp, they would definitely receive another reward from the Prime Minister.
”Report …” Just as Li Que was muttering in her heart, a exorcism cavalryman suddenly reported: ”Lord General, Yang Lin's cavalry has set the camp on fire, breaking through in three different directions: the east, the north and the west. Among them, about seven to eight thousand of the riders holding the hussar general's banner are already charging towards us. ”
”Ah …” Li Que was shocked, but soon revealed a happy expression. She did not know if she was surprised or happy, but she could not help but hold onto the long spear in her hands tightly. He turned around and ordered loudly: ”Divide into the front, middle and back ranks. Prepare to charge.
”Hahahaha …” Guo Si, oh Guo Si, this time, it's not your turn to fight with me! ” The ones that surrounded them from the north were Li Que and Guo Si's cavalry, both of them carrying 30,000 cavalry, who would have thought that the panicked Yang Lin would rush in front of them in such a way that even if he had the luck, he wouldn't be able to stop them.
According to Li Que's estimation, no matter how strong Yang Lin's cavalry was, his own cavalry was still many times stronger than his own cavalry. As long as he dragged them onto the battlefield and continued to attack them, even if he was tired, he would still kill them here.
Yang Lin led the group and rushed towards the north, but before they could run three miles, suddenly, exorcism ran back and reported loudly: ”Lord General, the thirty thousand cavalrymen led by Dong Zhuo's Great General Li Que are already one Li ahead of us, blocking our path.”
”Send my order. Put away all the flags. Take out all the crossbows and attack.” Yang Lin ordered coldly. He then took out his own powerful crossbow from his back, took out a Arrows and pulled the string. All of you follow me in a conical formation. ”
”Lord General, let me take the lead.” Taishi Ci, who was beside Yang Lin, immediately blocked in front of him and said anxiously: ”I am indebted to Lord General for his kindness, I am unable to repay you. I am willing to lead the way for Lord General, and break through Li Que's defense line.
”Good!” Taishi Ci, you will lead a squadron to take the lead, and the other squadrons will follow closely behind. ” Yang Lin nodded at Taishi Ci, and said solemnly: ”There are too many people in West Cold Cavalry, so we should not fight with brute force. Our strong crossbows shoot far, strong, and shoot them with strong crossbows. ”After opening the gap, do not continue to fight. Continue to attack and move forward.”
”Yes sir!” Taishi Ci nodded his head heavily, the expression on his face was extremely pleased with himself. When he finally had the chance to make a meritorious contribution, he raised the crossbow in his hand and shouted, ”Brothers, it's time to do the meritorious service …” ”Those who wish to receive credit, follow me …”
”Kill …”
Taishi Ci shouted and took the lead to rush out. All the cavalrymen shouted in unison as they followed Taishi Ci forward bravely. Different from the common cavalry charge, the soldiers did not raise their weapons, but raised their crossbows instead. The cold Arrows shined with a faint cold light.
In the dense fog, Dong Zhuo's West Cold Cavalry also charged forward. Different from the cavalry of Youzhou, because Dong Zhuo's West Cold Cavalry had been fighting with the West Cold for a long time, their weapons were almost all restored with pikes, with tens of thousands of pikes forming a forest of pikes.
”Prepare... ”Shoot...” Taishi Ci was an expert archer himself, and was invincible amongst Gong Yi's soldiers. Facing the incoming Dong Zhuo Cavalry, he accurately estimated the distance, and while charging forward, he issued the command to shoot.
swish swish swish … *
One after another, Arrows soared into the sky, carrying the momentum of their war horses with them as they flew forward. Besides the soldiers in the front row shooting horizontally, most of the charging cavalrymen were shooting forward. As a result, some of the seven to eight thousand Arrows flew over from high altitudes, while some of them struck towards West Cold Cavalry, forming a huge net made of arrows.
”Rumble …”
”Gulp …”
West Cold Cavalry who was in the midst of charging suddenly encountered the attacks of the Arrows, causing the formation to immediately become a mess. Due to the lack of protection, a large number of war horses were hit by the Arrows, causing them to run around crazily and collide with each other. Some of the war horses screamed miserably, and some of the war horses even directly fell onto the ground, letting out loud noises.
