Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 410 Riding and Blade
On the city wall filled with gunpowder, the soldiers of Nanchuan were busy nervously. The door panels removed from the city were nailed to the big hole in the city gate, and bags of sandbags of bricks and stones were filling the gaps in the city wall.

The crossbowmen are struggling to lift the heavy crossbow machine to the city wall, and the large bundles of arrows and thick pillars are also sent to the city wall...

"The 3000th team guards the gap to the south." The officers ordered loudly with serious faces.

The Nanchuan infantrymen of the brigade were running through the wet streets, heading towards their respective defense zones. The collision of armor and weapons filled the air with tension.

After a night of fierce fighting, although the Nanchuan Army repelled the vanguard of the Zhenxi Army and wiped out thousands of enemies, the victory did not make the Nanchuan Army feel happy, because the scout Qingqi had discovered the main force of the Zhenxi Army several miles away.

Standing on the dilapidated city wall, Lin Chuan held on to the cold city bricks and looked up into the distance. The wilderness was covered with snow, except for the flying black cloaks of the sentinel cavalry, there was no sign of the enemy army.

It's like the night before dawn, and the quiet and eerie atmosphere also indicates that the storm is coming.

"How far is the main force of Zhenxi Army from here?" Facing the mighty Zhenxi Army, Lin Chuan did not dare to take it lightly.

"Report to the general, they will arrive at the base of Heiyan City in about an hour." Cavalry General Murong Ke responded aloud.

Now the Nanchuan Scout Qingqi has been assigned by Lin Chuan to Murong Ke's command to supplement the combat power of the cavalry, so Murong Ke's cavalry now not only have to fight but also take on the task of scouting the enemy.

"Captain Murong Banner, you lead the cavalry around the periphery of Black Rock City. If necessary, you can take the initiative to attack to reduce the pressure on us to defend the city."

"Obey General—" Murong Ke's face showed joy. What he worried most was that he was afraid that Lin Chuan would let their cavalry enter the city to defend the city.

Murong Ke clearly remembers the tragedy of [-] Nanchuan cavalry dismounting to defend the city in Austin City, Luoshan Province, in order to cut off the imperial army's retreat. Even the commander Wu Jing has not yet recovered from his serious injuries. Come here, defending the city with cavalry is the most stupid decision.

The battlefield of the cavalry is an open wilderness, not a heavily fortified city. Although facing the attack of the main force of the Zhenxi Army, Lin Chuan has insufficient troops to defend the city, but Lin Chuan did not give up the advantage of the cavalry and let them guard the city.

The reason why Lin Chuan can often win battles is not only that the soldiers under his command are brave and good at fighting, but also because he knows how to maximize his strengths and avoid weaknesses, and how to make the most of his troops.

It is obvious that although the cavalry troops are not strong, they are wandering around the periphery, which is undoubtedly a huge threat to the attacking Zhenxi army, so they cannot attack the city with all their strength to prevent being attacked by the cavalry.

In this era, the cost of raising a cavalry is enough to support several infantry, but the powerful combat power of the cavalry is also enough to kill several infantry. When the cavalry charges in groups, it can defeat several times the elite infantry.

Looking at the dilapidated Heiyan City, Lin Chuan was in a very complicated mood. If it wasn't for the battle plan of the stupid staff officers of the Joint Command, how could he have come to guard this ruined city alone.

In Lin Chuan's vision, the battle with the Zhenxi Army should be in a wider area, between the mountains and rivers of the Gyeonggi Province, so that the strong field capabilities of the Nanchuan soldiers can be better utilized.

But now that the joint command has chosen Black Rock City as the location for the army's assembly, Lin Chuan must defend it until all the troops are assembled. If he can beat people, Lin Chuan really wants to beat up the staff of the joint command now. pause.

The Zhenxi Army came faster than the patrol cavalry reported. While Lin Chuan and the others were having breakfast, the Zhenxi Army's outpost cavalry had already arrived outside Heiyan City.

Regardless of having breakfast, Lin Chuan grabbed his weapon and went straight to the city. The city wall was already full of Nanchuan infantry soldiers on full alert. Their bows and crossbows were already wound and ready to fire at any time.

On the snow-covered field outside Heiyan City, the cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army were chasing and killing the sentry cavalrymen of the Nanchuan Army. One red team and one black team were galloping in the wilderness, and the flying horseshoes made the snow splash .

From time to time, patrolling cavalrymen of the Nanchuan Army screamed that they were hit in the back by arrows shot from behind, and then fell off their horses. Their heads were cut off by the cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army flying past, and they laughed wildly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Chuan was furious and shouted, "Take me!"

"General, don't—" Seeing that Lin Chuan was about to go down to the city to fight again, Xue Wen, chief of staff, hurriedly stood up to stop him.

"Don't say too much, just a few dozen riders dare to show off their power and deceive me that there is no one in the Nanchuan army?!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Chuan ran down the city wall regardless of the obstruction of Chief of Staff Xue Wen, got on his horse and took the saber handed over by the guard, and rode his horse out of the city.

Fearing that Lin Chuan might make a mistake, Li Qiye, the commander of a thousand guards battalion, hastily led more than a hundred guard cavalry to follow.

"The archers are ready, ready to meet the general at any time." Xue Wen, the chief of staff, stood on the city wall with a nervous face and gave orders to the archers.

"Bah, these cowards really dare to come out to die." The centurion of the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army spat, and his words were full of contempt.

"Sir, why don't you chop them all back to take credit, and you can exchange some wine money—" The cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army were all very excited. In their eyes, they were vicious wolves, and the opponent was weak. Sheep, it is only right and proper for wolves to eat sheep.

"It makes sense, then what are you waiting for, kill them for me." The centurion laughed wildly, put away his bow and arrow, pulled out the saber on his left side and raised it upwards, clamping his legs between the horse's belly, facing Lin Chuan and the others to kill them. Come.

The cavalry of the Zhenxi Army were extremely excited, whistling in their mouths, flying up and down during the charge, not forgetting to show off their superb horse skills, they didn't take Lin Chuan and the others seriously at all.

Lin Chuan looked at the cavalry of the Zhenxi Army who came to kill him, his delicate face was full of murderous intent, and he was full of fighting spirit. Before Li Qiye and others behind him could catch up, he rode into Zhenxi alone. Among the army cavalry.

puff puff!

"what!"

War horses criss-crossed past, Lin Chuan held a saber in his hand, his eyes were fierce and fierce, under the speed and strength of the swing, the heads of the Zhenxi Army rolled down under his horse's hooves, and blood rained everywhere.

"Death!" Hundreds of Zhenxi Army's long eyes flashed fiercely, and they shouted loudly, slashing towards Lin Chuan with sharp sabers in their hands.

Lin Chuan could even hear the sizzling sound of the fast-cutting saber rubbing against the air. Facing the decisive blow, Lin Chuan advanced instead of retreating, and rushed forward with the saber in his hand.

Seeing Lin Chuan's life-threatening style of fighting, a trace of panic flashed across the face of the centurion commander of the Zhenxi Army. Distracted, the fight between the two sides is in the blink of an eye, and the difference between success and failure is determined by one second.

"Ah!" The centurion commander of the Zhenxi Army was only distracted for a few seconds. Lin Chuan had already cut him into two pieces with a knife and a man in the middle. Half of the body rolled off the horse, and the other half was carried forward by the horse. The internal organs rolled down in the snow, which was extraordinarily bright.

"Kill!" Li Qiye also led the cavalry guards to kill at this moment. They slashed and slashed at the frightened cavalry of the Zhenxi Army. When Lin Chuan broke through the enemy's formation and turned his horse's head to fight again, everyone All the cavalrymen of the Zhenxi Army have been cut down like chopping melons and vegetables, and there is not a single cavalry of the Zhenxi Army alive.

"The Nanchuan army is victorious!" Lin Chuan glanced at Li Qiye with reproachful eyes, and the blood-dripping blade in his hand suddenly rose, like a wolf king, looking up to the sky and howling.

Lin Chuan's voice was loud and high-pitched, shaking the snow from the surrounding trees. The Nanchuan infantry soldiers on the city wall were aroused by the contagious roar, and they all raised their weapons and shouted: "Nanchuan Army wins! Wins! Wins!"
