Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 798
Zhou Shahu was taken aback by this sudden news. He never expected that the Beihai army would actually use cavalry in this kind of street fighting.

But he also suddenly understood why his soldiers were defeated so quickly

Although the main road in this housing area is five meters wide, it looks very spacious, even enough for two carriages to run side by side, but that is only relatively speaking, when a thousand soldiers rush into a main road, no matter how they are lined up, they will It looks crowded.

Especially when there are cavalry on the opposite side.

One hundred cavalrymen lined up two by two, with a total of fifty rows in front and back. They rushed forward all the way. Anyone who dared to stand in front of the cavalry had only one fate, that is, died at the hands of the cavalry on the spot.

As a result, the soldiers leading the front could only retreat to the left and right sides, which gave room for the long knives in the cavalry's hands.

Generally speaking, the weapons used by cavalry are often long weapons. After all, they sit on horseback and are at least two meters above the ground. If the weapons in their hands are too short, they will not even be able to touch the enemy.

But driven by the speed of the war horse, the long weapon carried terrifying power.

The soldiers who dodged to both sides of the road were at least fainted on the spot after being hit by the cavalry.

And the troops in the rear can only keep retreating, otherwise they are very likely to be overtaken, and then it seems like two swords.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shahu's expression became even more gloomy.

"Damn it, they even dispatched cavalry, how should we deal with this?"

"General, let's retreat first, otherwise if they catch up, our fate will only be worse."

Although cavalry can't be used in combat in the city at all, the premise is that there are countermeasures on one side.

But this sudden move by the Beihai army caught Zhou Shahu and her subordinates by surprise.

Although there are indeed props such as repelling horses and lassoes used to deal with cavalry in Shazhou City, they have not used these things for some time.

The reason is simple, because there are basically no cavalry in the Central Plains, so even if these things are prepared, they are rarely used.

Even if Zhou Shahu finds it now, it will take some effort.

Otherwise, the enemy army would not be able to break through the army so easily.

"Hahahaha, the majestic Shandong commander-in-chief is nothing more than that."

Just when everyone in the camp looked ashen, suddenly there was a laugh that made people feel very awkward just listening to it.

But the moment the voice sounded, the pupils of Zhou Shahu and Cui Yuanhu constricted suddenly at the same time.

Because the voice appeared behind them, but there was no entrance in the direction behind them, and it was an open place, with nothing blocking it at all.

Obviously it wasn't early in the morning that someone was hiding here.

But under such circumstances, neither of them found out when the other rushed in.

The official position of the chief soldier is a general, but he is more inclined to be a civilian.

After all, the duty of the general soldier is to command all the troops in a province, which requires a person who is careful enough and has enough things to consider.

It would be great if someone could be both civil and military, but how could there be so many talents with both civil and military skills in the world.

Therefore, when selecting the chief soldier, some people who are relatively more like civil servants are often appointed.

But that’s only relatively speaking. Take Zhou Shahu as an example. What he has to face every day is an army of hundreds of thousands on the entire sandbank. Could it be possible to suppress this group of soldiers?

If Zhou Shahu were to be placed in the imperial court and compared horizontally with other civil officials, I am afraid that those civil officials who went to court every time, even if tied together, would not be enough for Zhou Shahu to deal with alone.

Compared with the vast majority of people, his skill can be regarded as a master.

As for Cui Yuanhu, needless to say, he is a simple military general. Although his official position is lower than Zhou Shahu's, his skills are much stronger than Zhou Shahu's.

It was just these two people who didn't realize when the person behind them came in.

This almost stopped their hearts beating.

Zhou Shahu hurriedly looked back, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw a tall man in black standing behind him at some point.

The man in black looked at Zhou Shahu and Cui Yuanhu, and his eyes were filled with an inexplicable smile.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Shahu's face turned livid: "Who are you to dare to trespass on the barracks and eavesdrop on secrets? Don't you know that this is a capital offense?"

Although he felt a little guilty, he still tried to pretend to be calm in front of the man in black, but the man in black couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"General Zhou, did you believe it yourself before you said this?"

"I'm not threatening you, but if I want to kill you now, I only need one breath."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Zhou Shahu could react, he suddenly raised his hand, and when he raised his hand suddenly, a black shadow flew over Zhou Shahu's head, stabbing precisely at the one on the iron crown on his head. round hole.

Only then did Zhou Shahu realize that it was a flying knife.

Flying to get stuck in the round hole, Zhou Shahu was also taken aback at this moment, his pupils constricted suddenly, and sweat poured down his forehead.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, the man in black was stronger than he had imagined, but the most important thing now was how he would treat the man in black.

But after thinking about it, he quickly figured out what was going on.

Although the man in black had a very domineering attitude from the moment he appeared, he didn't seem to have too much malice.

Thinking of this, he also suddenly laughed, and said to the man in black: "Ahem, brother, it was all a misunderstanding just now."

"I don't know if Xiongtai suddenly appeared, what's the matter?"

Since the man in black had the ability to kill him at will, he didn't do anything, obviously he didn't come here with malice.

Coupled with the ingenious timing of his appearance, Zhou Shahu vaguely sensed that perhaps the purpose of the man in black coming here was related to those Beihai soldiers.

Seeing that Zhou Shahu finally understood what he meant, the man in black laughed loudly: "General Zhou is a smart man, so I won't hide it anymore. The general is now confused about the Beihai army. Bar?"

"I was entrusted by someone to help you resolve this crisis, but that person has a request for you. If you are willing, these Beihai troops are naturally nothing."

The man in black said to Zhou Shahu proudly, and Zhou Shahu became more curious after hearing the words.

"Oh? I don't know who the other party is, so what's the request?"

Although he still didn't know who the other party was, the appearance of the man in black gave Zhou Shahu a glimmer of light.
