Chapter 7826
7826 Chapter 7824-
Lin Yi had brought 800 cavalrymen and crushed an Army of 100000. How could they lose when they outnumbered them?
At the same time, at the central junction of the two armies, there was no need for Ling Hanxue to send an order. Both sides had already started a battle of Scouts.
Similarly, when a small scout team of six people discovered each other, no one chose to retreat. Instead, they tacitly launched a charge!
A hundred steps!
The Scout from Hongshang Commandery stood up on his horse and used his legs to control the horse. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow in his hand. He calculated the speed of both sides and then released the bowstring.
These Scouts were the elites of the king’s city’s Garrison, and their riding and shooting skills were quite strong.
Under normal circumstances, the arrows shot by the six of them could cause at least three casualties on the other side, and the rest would be killed in a wave of attacks.
However, their opponents this time were the scouts from the black magic Commandery!
The six Scouts from the black charm Commandery were not flustered when they saw the six arrows flying towards them.
Their left arms stretched forward and bent, and pieces of metal armor quickly spread out on their armors, instantly forming a round shield that protected the front of their bodies. It also provided some defense for the Black Spirit Ferghana horses they were riding.
As they opened the round shield with their left hands, their right hands were not idle either. They each pulled out a crossbow from the side of the horse and placed it on the side of the round shield, aiming at the scouts of Hongshang Commandery who were rushing towards them.
In the blink of an eye, the two sides were 60 steps away. The arrows of the scouts from Hongshang Commandery fell, but they could not penetrate the round shields of the scouts from black charm Commandery.
The only arrow that managed to avoid the round shield hit a Scout’s shoulder, but it was blocked by his pauldron!
After a few crisp clanking sounds, the Scout of the black charm Commandery was not affected at all. He pulled the trigger of the crossbow on his right hand.
Six crossbow arrows shot out like lightning. As the two sides rapidly closed in, this distance was enough for the crossbow arrows to exert their greatest power. As long as they hit, they would basically be bloody holes.
The scouts from Hongshang Commandery did not panic. Almost at the same time that the other party raised their crossbows, they had already made evasive movements and changed their bows and arrows to swords.
The cold blade blocked the Black Spirit Ferghana horse’s path, preventing the crossbow bolts from attacking the horse.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Six crossbow arrows flew over. Three of them swept past the back of the Scout who was crouching low. Two of the crossbow arrows that were aimed at the Black Spirit Ferghana horse were cut off by the blade, and the last one was not intercepted and directly pierced through the chest of the Black Spirit Ferghana horse.
Under the huge inertia, the Black Spirit Ferghana horse neighed and slid to the ground. The Scout on the horse’s back was unable to escape in time and was crushed under the rolling Black Spirit Ferghana horse.
It was impossible for his comrades to save him at this time. In order to maintain the charging formation, they could only harden their hearts and step over.
The black charm Commandery had gained the upper hand in the first round of confrontation!
There was no time for a second shot after the first shot.
The two sides were so fast that they were already 30 steps away. The scouts from the black charm Commandery let go of their crossbows and let them fall to the ground. They then drew out their swords.
The remaining five scouts from Hongshang Commandery let out wild roars. They straightened their bodies from their horses, twisted their waists, and slashed down with all their might.
In terms of equipment, even the elite of the garrison of the king’s city could not compare to the Army of the black magic Commandery.
However, in terms of individual courage, the black charm Commandery’s Army was not worth mentioning.
Five against six, both sides did not retreat. They collided together!
The two Scouts from Hongshang Commandery were very precise. They used the force of the Black Spirit Ferghana horse and directly cut through the gap in the armor of the other party.
The moment they brushed past each other, they took two heads.
However, the other three had some problems. One of them was a little slower and was hit by the other party first, falling off his horse and dying.
One of them exchanged a blow with the other party, but when he passed by, he was stabbed by the other party’s extra person. He was caught off guard and his left arm was cut off.
The other one struck the enemy’s shoulder armor. Although he managed to break the armor with the help of the horse’s power, the blade was stuck in the shoulder armor and could not be pulled out.
The scouts of the black charm Commandery were also ruthless. Their combat power might be slightly inferior, but they were very brave at this time.
He grabbed the blade with his left hand and let the blade rub against the wound on his palm and shoulder armor. With a sinister smile, he slashed at the enemy.
In a flash, the Scout from Hongshang Commandery decisively abandoned his knife and rushed out with the Black Spirit Ferghana horse. However, he did not expect that the man from heimei Commandery would chase after him and cut a big hole in his waist.
It had to be said that the black charm Commandery’s equipment was at least one grade better than that of Hongshang Commandery.
Their knives could easily cut through the armor of Hongshang Commandery, and the scouts of Hongshang Commandery could not even cut off the man’s shoulder with the help of their horses.
Both sides charged forward for a few dozen steps before turning around and launching a new charge.
In the second Battle, two people from the black charm Commandery died and one was injured, while one person from the Hongshang Commandery died and two were injured. They were basically tied.
Although the heimei Commandery had lost one more person, their injured people still retained at least 70% of their combat power. As for the two injured Scouts from Hongshang Commandery, it was hard to say if they could even retain 50% of their combat power!
“Kill!”
The leader of the scouts from Hongshang Commandery did not waste any time. He shouted in a low voice and continued to charge with his sword.
The two injured men didn’t even care about their wounds and followed up with their blades.
This time, the two sides collided, causing both men and horses to fall. In the end, everyone fell off their horses.
It was just a battle between these few people, but it had a tragic aura.
The two injured Scouts from Hongshang Commandery knew that their combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced. Therefore, the Scout who had a wound on his waist and his internal organs were flowing out simply ignored them and hugged the strongest one in front of him tightly.
The one without the left arm took the opportunity to kill the most powerful enemy.
The two injured Scouts from Hongshang Commandery did not live long either. They were killed by the enemy almost at the same time!
The remaining two Scouts from Hongshang Commandery joined forces and killed one of them. Then, they turned around to deal with the two remaining Scouts from the black charm Commandery.
At this time, the advantage of equipment had been weakened to the extreme, and the two sides were competing with their own combat power and skills.
The Scout Camp wasn’t Lin Yi’s personal guard Camp and didn’t receive much training from Lin Yi, but they had learned the most basic battle formations.
When the two of them joined forces, they didn’t need to use too much of their strength. Any advantage they had was enough to turn into victory!
Very quickly, the battle was over!
All the scouts from the black charm Commandery were killed, and four from the Hongshang Commandery were killed.
Although it was a victory, it was only a Pyrrhic victory.
This encounter was only the beginning. More Scouts had begun to fight in other directions. Both sides had wins and losses, and no one had an absolute advantage.
Ling Hanxue began to send more people to the front lines, but the situation did not improve.
