Chapter 645: The protective army arrives one after another

When he saw the cavalry of the protection army rolling in behind him, Brother Richard really gritted his teeth in hatred.

The cavalry under his command are all iron ducks. Although the horses under their crotches are excellent, the horses are wearing horse armor and the men are wearing heavy armor. How can the horses carry so much weight outrun the cavalry protecting the army?
The escort cavalry under Luan Tingyu had just gone through a hard battle at this time. They were not pursuing desperately, but were running and resting.

This group of protective soldiers have practiced in Shandong for so long, and have long mastered the skills of living on horses, and can even sleep on horses. They just follow the Xixia people at a short distance, and from time to time send a team to chase them. Come up and shoot at the Xixia people.

This style of fighting made it impossible for the Xixia people to escape, unable to move forward with confidence, and could only reluctantly gather together. However, once the gathering was too close, and the guards fired indiscriminately, they would always knock down a few unlucky ones.

The Xixia people had no choice but to maintain their formation and advance slowly.

At this time, once they wanted to walk comfortably onto the official road, the protective army pursued them desperately. The Xixia people had no choice but to walk slowly in the yellow sand and mud.

Wanyan Zonghan rode for a while and then said to Brother Richard, "It won't work like this. Walking on the sand consumes too much strength of the horse, and it won't take long before it's caught."

Brother Richard also had a fierce look in his eyes at this time. He was from the royal family of Xixia. He had been pampered since he was a child, and he also had a single-minded arrogance.

"Of course I know that if we continue walking like this, sooner or later we will be overtaken by the protection army. As long as we reach open ground, we will turn back and fight him decisively."

He had made up his mind that he could not escape and lost Xiangqing Mansion. If he fled without a fight, he would not have a good ending if he went back. He might as well fight on the plains with the protecting army. As long as he waited for the protecting army, he would not be able to escape. When the distance between the Bao army and them was just right, he let all the iron ducks fight back.

So at this time, the formation between the two sides suddenly became very strange.

There were more than 1 cavalrymen in the protection army. They were divided into two parts, one closely followed and the other slowly followed, while the iron ducks in front slowly expanded their formation while running.

At the same time, the escort troops continued to harass, causing great distress to Iron Duck's cavalry.

After marching forward for a long time, Iron Duck finally came to open ground and stopped suddenly.

Seeing that the iron ducks in front all turned around and raised their weapons, the pursuing troops of the protection army also shouted: "Stop, unite!"

The iron ducks have already set up an offensive formation, and the horses under them are all panting heavily. Although these horses are very sophisticated and have received a lot of training, such a long forced march still consumes too much physical strength of these horses. If not Because of the skill of training, I am afraid that some horses will be in a stereotyped state by this time, or go crazy in the team, or suddenly disobey the command and throw the owner off the horse.

Looking at the Protector Army in front of them, Richard Brother and Wanyan Zonghan both knew that now was the opportunity for a decisive battle. If they ran for a while, although the Protector Army horses would also consume too much strength, they were afraid that their iron ducks would not be able to run anymore. .

"Army attack!"

Brother Richard pointed forward.

At the same time, there were two regiments of the protection army in front of them, and the messenger next to the officer took out his suona and played a rapid tone at the same time.

"The whole army retreats!"

The two cavalry regiment commanders following behind them all laughed. Who wants to fight a charge with these tough ducks?It's fun to see them wasting their energy to impress themselves.

In an instant, the two protection regiments roared and fled back on horseback. The protection troops of the two regiments were all light cavalry. Although the horses under their crotches were not necessarily as strong as Iron Duck's horses, they were also trained in Dengzhou. It's an excellent horse breed. Isn't it easy to escape with unarmored cavalry on its back?

He ran away in the blink of an eye.

The Protectorate Army knew that after repeated pulls like this a few times, the iron duck in front of them would be exhausted.

Moreover, after the escort troops ran back, they stopped and started reloading while resting.

They would hardly suffer any losses when fighting like this. Although Iron Duck also had crossbows, these people were too late to escape. The few crossbow arrows they occasionally shot back could not hurt the protection army at all. On the contrary, the protection army took a rest and loaded their guns. If you go up there, you can give them a serious blow.Don't run too slow, Iron Duck. In the time it took for them to turn around and prepare to charge, the cavalry of the second team of the Protectorate Army would soon catch up. After catching up, both sides could still take turns.

……

"These rats!"

Brother Richard angrily drew out his saber and slashed in the air.

He wanted to fight a fierce decisive battle and bite off the tail behind him, and then have a chance to escape to the next castle. But whenever the enemy chasing behind him came in front of him, and when he was about to let the cavalry charge back, the enemy He was gone in a flash, and as he continued to move forward, the enemy followed him one after another.

At the moment, there is a sky full of yellow sand all around, and his soldiers are extremely tired, and they can't get up even if they want to chase further and charge.

Just when Brother Richard was so angry that his mouth was dry, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting for death coming from the front.

"what happened?"

The Xiangqing Army set up more than a dozen castles along the desert line, all of which were guarded by caravans and garrisons. They were considered the strongest backing by the Xixia people.

Just as he was about to reach the next castle, why did an army suddenly appear in front of him?
"Come up quickly and see who it is!"

The Xixia soldiers, who were extremely tired from running, suddenly heard the cry of killing in front of them. Even though they were iron-blooded warriors who claimed to be the strongest army in the world, they still showed a look of horror after experiencing such a nightmare day. At this time, Brother Richard Fearing that his army would collapse, he quickly called people up to observe the situation.

But before even sending out the troops, they saw the cavalry in front of them rolling in smoke and attacking their iron ducks.

Judging from the billowing smoke, there were at least two to three thousand soldiers and horses in front of them.

Brother Richard was frightened at this time and did not dare to take risks. He quickly ordered: "The left and right armies disperse quickly. The right army faces the enemy head-on and the left army flanks. Don't let the enemy rush into our formation." .”

At this moment, the protection army behind him caught up again.

Brother Richard and Wanyan Zonghan heard gunshots coming from both front and back.

"The troops in front also have guns, and they are obviously also members of the Supervisory Committee."

After a while, the front troops were built, but they were divided into two parts. A large group of people chased a small group of troops.

The Xiaogu army was still wearing the uniforms of the Xixia army. When they ran in, Brother Richard called everyone on alert, but they quickly recognized that they were the generals of the Xixia army.

"Marshal, the Han people attacked our castle!"

Brother Richard was shocked when he heard this: "How is that possible? There are no outsiders in our castle."

"It was the Han caravans in the castle who acted as internal agents for the Supervisory Committee. They opened the gate of the castle and asked the local Supervisory Committee militia to drive out all the soldiers in our castle."

"There are more than 2000 soldiers and horses in the castle. Where are they now?"

"Many Han children surrendered to the Supervisory Committee. Those who refused to surrender were arrested by them. We were the only ones who escaped."
