C67 How Could Hu Man Block His Way(last Part)
Enmity Water was a river formed from the snow of the Shadow Mountain. In winter, there were very few rivers and the surface of the river was only about sixty to seventy feet wide. When Xianbei People was firing his arrows, the White Horse Camp's cavalry was about to reach the riverside. At the moment, the distance between the two parties was about 35 steps, which was the maximum distance the arrows could reach.
Su Li looked at the other side with a vicious wolf-like gaze. In his opinion, hundreds of stupid and arrogant Han people would be shot like hedgehogs if they were to charge forward with so many arrows! However, in the next moment, the evil grin on his face disappeared, and the ruthlessness in his eyes turned into astonishment.
At such a close distance, Xianbei People's archery skills were extremely accurate. Out of ten arrows, seven of them had hit the opponent.
Ding ding dang dang dang … The sharp and clear sound of arrows colliding with armor could be heard continuously. Then, 99% of the arrows landed on the ground, they were unable to penetrate the hard armor of the White Horse Camp soldiers. In addition to dozens of horses being shot and the knights falling along with their war horses, thousands of arrows did not cause any damage!
"How could this be?" Su Li finally couldn't hold it in anymore and shouted loudly. How much money did Gongsun Xu spend to equip all the cavalrymen under his command with such hard armor?!
Su Li definitely did not know what the 'elite troop policy' was, and furthermore, he did not know how much effort Gongsun Xu had put into equipping the armor for each of the cavalrymen.
Since the founding of this dynasty, as a result of constant war with the foreign tribes, armaments have developed rapidly, and armors have been transformed from leather to fine iron in large quantities, mainly fish scales and Zar armor. However, since the armor was made of many layers, it couldn't be flipped around. The fish scales were naturally flexible, so the fish scales were even more favored by the army. Before the Changli Army was integrated into the White Horse Camp, more than 80% of the military armor was fish scale armor.
Gongsun Xu did not have that much steel in his hands, so he could only 'strip' the long gunner and archer of their armor and equip them all. In his mind, archers did not need to wear fine steel armor at all, at most, they could only wear leather armor as a form of comfort, and the long gunner did not have the opportunity to enter the battlefield for the time being. Gongsun Xu promised that he would equip them with even better armor in the future, which made their dissatisfaction disappear. As for the Mo Saber Camp and the Saber and Shield Camp that were in the process of being established, those auxiliary force s who were waiting for the selection were currently practicing hard, so they didn't need any armor for the time being. Finally, he managed to collect more than four thousand sets of armor. In total, he had collected a few hundred more. With a wave of his hand, Gongsun Xu transferred them to the vanguard of the cavalry troops. He let the few hundred men wear two sets of armor, the arrows of Xianbei People were all made of fine iron, it was impossible to penetrate through the two layers of armor.
Even Xianbei People found out that his arrows could not penetrate the armor of his opponent, causing his morale to plummet. At such a close distance, if his arrows could not even pierce through the opponent's armor, who knows how effective it would be!
"Charge over!" Zhao Yun Chang was the first to reach the floating bridge.
"Kill!" Block them back! "Battle Fearless Slash!" Su Li let out a long roar towards the sky, raised his machete high and charged towards Zhao Yun. He knew very well that their morale was low. If he allowed his opponent to rush across the floating bridge, he would most likely be defeated without a doubt. Only by blocking the floating bridge and stopping his opponent from crossing the river would he be able to avoid danger.
Su Li was closer to the bridge, and it was only four or five seconds before he reached it. Zhao Yun was still a horse's body away from the bridge. With a shout, Su Li raised the reins of his horse, and the horse he was riding leaped high into the air. He slashed down with his sword, trying to split Zhao Yun's rifle and his men into two halves. Su Li's slash was indeed powerful, but it did not leave him with the slightest bit of energy. If he were to face a sharp counterattack, he would either die or be injured.
It was said that the killing of Qiu Liju was done by Yan Rou, and the credit for breaching the Liucheng was placed on Gongsun Xu. As such, Zhao Yun's reputation was far from Gongsun Xu's and Yan Rou's, and in Liu Tie's eyes, Zhao Yun was just a nobody, so he didn't dare to leave anything behind. If it was Gongsun Xu or Yan Rou, Su Li would definitely not be so arrogant.
The force of the blade was heavy and it created a dull sound of the wind. In the blink of an eye, it was less than two feet away from Zhao Yun's head.
Zhao Yun's mouth curved into a cold smile. What he was most afraid of was an opponent that could only rely on brute force! While the warhorse was still in front of him, he suddenly jumped into hiding and disappeared from the horse's back in a flash.
Su Li's slash missed. He suddenly leaned forward and just as he shouted in his heart, he heard a sharp piercing sound coming towards his right side. His heart was filled with fear. He quickly rolled to the left side of the horse to dodge the attack.
Snatch! Su Li was lucky enough to avoid the fatal wound on his ribs in time. Zhao Yun's silver gun pierced through his skirt like lightning and opened a hole the width of a teacup on his right thigh.
With just one exchange, Kebineng's number one general, Su Li, was severely injured by Zhao Yun!
Su Li screamed as his body fell down from the horse. Thanks to his superb riding skills, he managed to stabilize his body the moment he lost his balance, and crashed into the White Horse Camp cavalry soldiers who were following behind him. The pontoon was about three Zhang wide and was able to move four to five horses at the same time. When Su Li steadied his horse, it was facing three to four sabers that were slashing at him at the same time.
Su Li roared again and again. After parrying a few slashes, he tried his best to counterattack. He knocked two people off the horse one after another, turned his horse around and ran away. It was true that he was not afraid of death, but he was not a foolish person. He knew the consequences would be dire if he continued to fight, so how could he continue to fight head on?
At this time, both Yan Rou and Ku Le had arrived. They chased after Su Li from both sides.
Zhao Yun did not turn around to chase Su Li after winning the shot, but instead rode his horse straight towards the cavalry of Xianbei that was following Su Li. Seeing that the clan's number one warrior, Su Li, had been severely injured by Zhao Yun's one move, the Xianbei People was filled with fear. Seeing that he was about to attack, the Xianbei People, who was charging in the front, had no way of dodging, so he could only restrain his fear.
What a great Zhao Yun, the silver gun in his hands danced like water, after blocking the opponent's attack, his wrist continuously shook, the long spear quickly thrust out, in the blink of an eye, seven or eight people were knocked off their horses. His companion's blood-curdling screams and splattering blood not only did not scare away the other Xianbei People, but instead stimulated the fierceness in their bones. In that instant, more than a dozen blades and spears crazily flew towards Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun Chang roared. His long spear danced swiftly like a leaf, each shot thrusting out from an extremely strange position. From afar, it looked like a silver snake flying at people. Every lightning attack would take away a person's life!
"General Zilong is truly the enemy of all!" Guo Jia, who was watching the battle from the other side of the river, could not help but exclaim in admiration.
"Haha" laughed Gongsun Xu proudly, "Zi Long is a great general that has never been seen before. How can a mere group of cavalry of Xianbei be worthy of mention? Even if he were to face off against the tiger leopard riding s of Cao Cao, Zi Long would definitely be able to kill seven to seven of them! "
"My lord, you are truly a wise man!" Guo Jia flattered him and asked in confusion, "May I ask, why is it seven in seven, and not three in three or five out?"
"Ah?" Haha, this is just a casual action, there is no need for Feng Xiao to investigate further. Look, Zi Hu has caught up to Su Li! He made his move! " Gongsun Xu laughed and quickly changed the topic.
Guo Jia looked up and sighed, "What a pity! Su Li was quick to dodge Zi Hu's strike! Ku Le also made his move! Aiya, is this Su Li a rabbit? He actually dodged Ku Le's attack again! "
Gongsun Xu sneered, "I do hope Su Li doesn't die here."
"Hmm?" Liu Tie was startled, then reacted and laughed: "Master is right, if Su Li died here, even if Kebineng would not immediately fall out with He Lian, he would quickly lead his troops and leave Tanhan Shan! "If that's the case, then it will be very difficult to kill him again!"
"Exactly! As the saying goes, if the tree falls and the monkeys scatter, once Kebineng dies, Su Li and Bu Dugen are nothing to worry about. Xiao Yi rushed up to Yan Rou and told her to let Su Li go. She wanted him to kill as many of Su Li's men as possible.
"Here." Gongsun Yi cupped his hands and galloped his horse forward.
"Hehe." Gongsun Xu looked at the other side of the river and laughed sinisterly as he muttered to himself, "If all of these thousands of people died, I wonder if Su Li would commit suicide to kill himself out of heartache."
"My lord!" Guo Jia shouted hesitantly.
"Hmm?" Gongsun Xu turned around and looked at Guo Jia, "What's the matter?"
"My lord's smile just now was really sinister!"
"Oh? Are you sure? I feel that her smile is very handsome! "
"What does' handsome 'mean?
"Look!" Zhao Yun has scattered and besieged his Xianbei People! "
"Master, do this again!"
Just like what Gongsun Xu said to change the topic, in that short period of time, 20-30 people had already died at the hands of Zhao Yun, causing the surrounding Xianbei People to become afraid. Some of them circled around him and charged towards the White Horse Camp cavalry soldiers who were crossing the river, while some of them charged towards Su Li who was being chased by Yan Rou and Ku Le, attempting to save the main general from danger.
The morale of one side was like a rainbow as every slash of the saber would yield gains. The other side had low morale as they would only gain gains after attacking several times. The host was also severely injured and in danger. Under this situation, even if Xianbei People fought valiantly, he would still be forced to retreat step by step.
Seeing that the situation was bad, Su Li wanted to break out of the encirclement. However, he was tightly entangled by Yan Rou and Ku Le. Very soon, a few more wounds were added on his body. At this time, over a hundred cavalry of Xianbei s rushed over and launched attacks at the riders surrounding Yan Rou and Ku Le. More than a dozen of them charged forward madly, risking their lives to stop Yan Rou and Ku Le. Su Li seized the opportunity to escape, and quickly rushed towards Tanhan Shan.
Yan Rou hacked over a few people and was about to ride her horse to chase Su Li, when Gongsun Yi's flying horse arrived at Gongsun Xu's command. Yan Rou looked at Su Li's back with a regretful expression. She shouted loudly and rushed towards the surrounding Xianbei People. In a short while, she had completely annihilated all the nearby enemies.
At this time, the White Horse Camp's cavalry had all crossed the pontoon bridge. Zhao Yun Chang pointed his spear to the left and right, and Yan Rou and Ku Le led hundreds of men to surround them from both sides.
Zhao Yun led his team to charge forward and killed a pair in the middle of the Xianbei People's battle formation.
Su Li had already escaped a few miles away and the banner was already on the ground. The Xianbei People was quickly defeated and scattered.
Zhao Yun, Yan Rou and Ku Le brought their armies to kill from behind, and only the Xianbei People's blood flowed like rivers, corpses littered the ground.
