Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

With strong soldiers in formation, they are truly killing machines. But if it is a defeated soldier, it will be completely reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

At this time, there were even two or three Eastern Wei soldiers on the battlefield chasing after them with swords, and they were able to drive hundreds of barbarian soldiers into flight and slaughter them at will. However, these barbarian soldiers did not dare to stop and fight back.

At this time, Liang Shiyan, who was still hiding in the cavalry team in the valley, walked quickly to Li Tai and asked for a fight with his hands crossed, "Master Lang, hundreds of thieves have left the city. Li Shihu's army is more eroded and the casualties are increasing. Please help the front team attack the thieves who have left the city!"

"Wait a minute, it's not time yet. Wutu City is a large garrison here. It controls such a large area. There must be elite cavalry raised in the city to prepare for changes. The elites have not been released yet and cannot be moved yet."

After hearing this, Li Tai waved his hand and directly rejected Liang Shiyan's proposal to attack at this time.

Although Liu Aqi did not know the ratio of troops in the city, it is common sense that if the city needs to deter the nearby Hu forces, there must be a considerable cavalry force. If we don't lure this group of troops out of the city, we can't call it a success in luring the enemy.

At this time, the Lishi Hu people on the other side of the river had already suffered a lot of casualties. Including those who had been killed and wounded in the previous feint attack on the city, at least thousands of them had been killed in this short period of time.

Even if it was just a consumable, Li Tai felt quite distressed, but if he reeled in the line in advance before the big fish was caught, all the bait he had laid before would be wasted.

The fleeing Lishi Huzhong spread out in an increasingly wider area in the countryside, and it was difficult to effectively stop the pursuit with just the few hundred garrison infantry who left the city.

And when these Jihu people completely disappear from sight, they will become uncontrollable hidden dangers, and they will gather into a large group of people and come back at some point.

So the gate of Wutu City finally opened wide, and more than 500 cavalrymen rushed out from it. Each of them galloped out with a bow and a gun. After crossing the river in the shallow part of the river, they started to attack and disperse Jihu's second wave of killings.

As this group of knights joined in the pursuit battle, the fleeing tribesmen in the wilderness were quickly harvested like weeds in a nursery.

"Get on your horse and go straight to Utu City!"

Seeing that the enemy cavalry was finally dispatched, Li Tai waved his hand and gave the order, but the direction he ran towards was not the east bank of Lingshui, which had fallen into a one-sided massacre, but the city of Wutu with its gates wide open.

After receiving the order, all the soldiers mounted their horses one after another, divided into front and rear queues, and rushed out of the valley on horseback, heading straight for Wutu City a few miles away.

"Then, where did those people come from?"

As these thousands of cavalry emerged into view, the Eastern Wei people who were chasing Jihu soldiers both on the city walls and in the wilderness were shocked. A cavalry commander immediately ordered back reinforcements.

It is completely meaningless to pursue and kill these ridiculous people in the wilderness at this time. If the city is captured by this sudden appearance of a strange army, not to mention what kind of punishment they will suffer, I am afraid that they will be in a dire situation.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw the enemy cavalry approaching, they immediately panicked. After comparing the distance between their own reinforcements and the intruders, the city guarding commander wisely ordered the soldiers to quickly secure the city gate. Close it again to prevent enemy cavalry from rushing in and seizing the door.

Under the high-speed gallop, the distance of several miles was approaching in an instant. Seeing the defenders at the top of the city nervously drawing their bows and waiting for the enemy, Li Tai chuckled and quickly divided his troops into three groups before the enemy cavalry arrived.

A group of 200 people lined up in front of the Wutu City Gate, waiting for the defenders to leave the city before charging and killing them. A group of 300 people rode up to the west slope to rest and wait, while another group of 500 people lined up on the west bank of Lingshui River. In battle formation, waiting to snipe the enemy cavalry who havetily returned for reinforcements.

The enemy troops were worried about the safety of the city and quickly returned from the wilderness. Although they were running at high speed, their formation was not scattered, which showed that they were well-trained soldiers. Especially when they were about to reach the range of the cavalry bow, this group of cavalry swept straight to the side and drew their bows to shoot.

Li Tai couldn't help but sigh when he saw the almost uniform roving and shooting movements of these men and horses. Since coming to this world, he has never seen such a cavalry team with such a beautiful sense of riding and shooting, not to mention his own. Even the athletes who had just been brought back from Longshang were slightly inferior to the elite group in front of them.

But elite soldiers do not mean victory. Compared with the enemy's flexible switching of formations, Li Tai's response was a bit dull. They neither drew their bows to fire nor changed their formations to respond to the enemy. They just turned their faces. He changed his position and continued to stare at the enemy: Why are you wandering around? Are you coming here or not?

Obviously, the safety of the Hu soldiers on the other side of the river is far less important to Li Tai than the importance that the enemy cavalry attaches to the safety of the city. Seeing that the enemy cavalry is just arrayed in a forest on the other side, it is not possible to There was no intention of wading into the water to meet the attack, so the Eastern Army cavalry general gave an order, and the team was immediately divided into two parts, one large and one small, and divided into two directions to rush across the river.

After Li Tai saw this, he directly led Liang Shiyan to lead the troops away, stared at the group with more troops, and only waited for the half-crossing to attack. As for himself, he led 300 soldiers on the slope, and only waited for a small group to land before charging and killing them.

When the enemy cavalry began to wade across the river, the originally closed city gate was opened with a bang, and the dark defenders' infantry rushed out of the city gate, each holding a sword and shield towards the people arrayed in front of the city gate. A formation of two hundred cavalry rushed forward, intending to use this deadly attack to gain time for the cavalry on the other side to cross.

Li Tai saw that the number of infantry swarming out must have exceeded a thousand. Adding in the infantry and cavalry that had left the city before, the number had exceeded two thousand. At this time, there were still a large number of defenders on the city. The shooting combined with the assault of the city gate infantry showed that there were more than two thousand defenders in the city. Liu Aqi and the others had been working hard for the past few days, but in the end they didn't use their full strength at all.

Li Tai cursed secretly in his heart and ordered the two hundred guarding cavalry to retreat up the slope. This guard was a fucking tortoise. There were so many people in the city, but even Liu Aqi's troops were blocked by Lishi and Hu Can. The door clamored for several days but refused to go out to fight.

However, he soon noticed that the quality of the infantry who rushed out was not very good. They were far less elite than the five hundred cavalry on the other side. They were not much worse than Liu Aqi's rabble. After rushing out of the city, they didn't understand. They changed lanes and formed a formation, but continued to rush towards the river beach noisily, until their flanks were completely exposed to the sight of the cavalry on the slope.

Being so arrogant, Li Tai would naturally not get used to their bad habits. He immediately shook the horse in his hand and led the crowd to rush down the slope. The horse thrust forward, directly pierced through several people, and then slashed in a circle. , There is no one left in front of me!

Five hundred cavalry charged for a while, and then blocked these infantrymen. The people behind them retreated hastily toward the city gate, but the hundreds of soldiers intercepted in front were already panicking. Under the impact of the elite cavalry behind them, He could only continue to run forward desperately.

At this time, more than a hundred cavalrymen on the opposite side had also crossed the river and landed, and were waiting to attack the enemy's military formation along the river bank. However, their way forward was suddenly cut off by their own soldiers who swarmed into the river.

"Rush over, there is no need to pity Hu Nu's life!"

Li Tai had Li Shihu as cannon fodder bait, and the infantry who were driven out of the city had a similar position in Wutu City. They were all Jihu soldiers who had been recruited and captured before, so they were nothing in the eyes of the cavalry general. He was about to gallop through on horseback.

The Eastern Wei army did not pity the lives of these infantry, and Li Tai and the others did not. At this moment, they rushed in from the rear, and the spear thrust straight into the chest of a cavalryman. The spear pole bent slightly due to the force of the collision, and then sharply The ground bounced forward, and the body of the Eastern Wei cavalry was immediately ejected and fell directly into the river several feet away.

"Master, be careful!"

There was a loud shout from the left, and Li Tai subconsciously lowered his arms to press down the horse's saddle, and his upper body fell on the horse's back. However, he still felt a shock to the back of his head, and the saddle hit the back of his head due to the powerful arrow.

He resisted the urge to retching, raised his eyes and looked diagonally ahead, and saw a young cavalryman ten feet away holding a bow that was much larger than an ordinary cavalry bow. The arrow that almost killed him was this. People ejaculate.

"Capturing that thief general is the first achievement of this battle!"

Li Tai let out a breath of turbid air, slashed left and right with the horse's spear in his hand, and charged straight towards the cavalry general. All the people and horses in front of him lay dead on the road. All the surrounding soldiers also cheered up, and quickly formed a charging formation around Li Tai as the front and rear cover.

The cavalryman was waiting to shoot again, but the opponent's momentum was too fierce. Before the string was drawn halfway, the light of the spear was already close in front of him. He put aside the bow and straightened up the sword hanging on the saddle, ready to fight.

He had just swung his sword to block an oncoming shot, but the spears on both sides were stabbed out like poisonous snakes spitting messages, forcing him to slide off his horse. He was able to avoid those attacks that could penetrate the ribs and abdomen, but his left shoulder was still stabbed. There was a bloody hole. After landing, he didn't have time to flee elsewhere. A large spear had already pierced between the two buttocks and was accompanied by an angry shout: "Kneel down!"

The cavalry general's knees weakened, his sword fell to the ground, and he prostrated obediently on the ground, shouting loudly: "The two armies are fighting each other for their own masters, and there is absolutely no intention to harm the general! Now that we are not invincible, I am willing to disarm and surrender." , I beg the general to spare my life, spare my life..."

Hundreds of years of troubled times in the Southern and Northern Dynasties led to the emergence of a large number of warriors who took war as their profession and had a very weak sense of loyalty. Especially in today's post-Three Kingdoms period, two flowers bloomed in the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, and the property was divided but the family was not divided. As for Jiangdong Xiao Bodhisattva, let alone that, he was afraid that he would not be generous to the descendants, even if he took his life. No matter what.

Therefore, Li Tai was not surprised when he saw the cavalry general asking for surrender cleanly. He placed his sword directly on the side of the man's neck and said in a deep voice: "Who is the guard here? Who is the thief general also called?"

"The slave's name is Pi Jinghe. I am the trusted commander in King Gao's tent. In the third year of Wu Ding's reign, he was appointed as the commander of the Wutu garrison. He is the guard general of this city. The general is intimidating, but the slave is stupid and slow to surrender. Please forgive me, general!"

The general of the cavalry prostrated himself on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at Li Tai, but he answered questions respectfully and simply.
