Chapter 146: Defeat the Cavalry
Wu Lanzhi stamped her feet and turned around to shout.
"Gao Dani, Hua Xiaocao, call all the sisters to follow me!"
"yes!"
At this time, many soldiers came up to the city wall, and Li Dazhuang also came.
"Captain Wu, where is Marshal Bai?"
"General Li, the marshal is out on horseback!"
"How could you let her go out alone? Isn't this nonsense?"
Li Dazhuang was so anxious that he jumped up and down. If something happened to Marshal Bai, how would he explain to the emperor and Bai Zongren?
"General Li, the Marshal has issued a military order, ordering us to defend the city gates to the death. I, I dare not disobey!"
"Alas, the Marshal is young and impetuous after all, and doesn't understand the seriousness of this!"
"General Li, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Listen to the Marshal and defend the city gates!"
Bai Li walked out of the city gate and rushed all the way to the first fortification.
She had a powerful headlight on her head, and the soldiers saw her before she got close.
Passing the second and third fortifications, the soldiers were scratching their heads and couldn't understand why the marshal came out alone when the enemy was approaching.
Before they could ask, the person ran away, so they had to swallow their questions.
"Marshal Bai, why are you here?"
Arriving at the first fortification, Bai Li dismounted and gave a big punch to He Qiu Shui, the person in charge of this place.
"You still have the nerve to ask me why there was no one on duty just now?
If it weren't for my cannon, you wouldn't even know you were killed by the enemy!"
He Qiu Shui covered her face and dared not refute. She hurriedly called her subordinates and asked who was on duty tonight and what had happened just now.
After a while, the man came back and reported, "Captain He, the person on duty tonight is Erniu. He got caught in the rain during the day and had a fever at night, so he was confused for a while..."
"Oh, when something goes wrong you'll find an excuse.
Why didn't you tell me you were sick earlier? You're still on night watch even though you're sick. Do you think you can't die quickly enough?
He Qiu Shui lowered his head, not even daring to fart. Ever since he was appreciated by the marshal and promoted to captain, he had never been scolded like this.
But this time he was not wronged to be scolded. If the marshal had not warned them, they would have been killed by Simon's cavalry.
After Bai Li finished scolding him, he whispered a promise: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly. There will definitely not be a next time!"
Bai Li glared at him with dissatisfaction and was too lazy to say anything more.
"Wake everyone up, take up your positions, string your bows and crossbows, and prepare for the enemy's counterattack!"
"Marshal, Simon the dog was frightened by our crossbows and doesn't dare to come again, right?"
"Idiot! Haven't you heard the saying that a cornered dog will jump over the wall?
What would you do if you had no choice but to fight to the death?
He Qiushui swallowed his saliva. If he...
"Oh no, the Simons are coming again!"
There was a loud shout outside, and everyone felt threatened.
"Don't panic! Everyone, take your positions according to the previous deployment!"
Bai Li roared and walked out, and He Qiu Shui hurriedly followed.
"Marshal Bai is here!"
The soldiers seemed to have found a backbone when they saw Bai Li.
I just shot a wave of crossbow arrows in a hurry, and now when I come to my senses, I feel my calves trembling.
They actually faced off against the powerful Simon Army and luckily won.
If it happened again, they didn't know if they would have the courage to face them.
The memory of Simon Dog's ferocity and strength has made their fear of Simon Dog deep-rooted.
Bai Li nodded and glanced at the soldiers.
She reached behind her back and found her special crossbow in her hand.
"When the enemy is within range, fire. Attack from three directions: top, middle, and bottom. Don't let a single person or horse get through!"
With the Marshal in person, the soldiers gained some confidence and responded loudly: "Yes!"
As he spoke, the sound of horse hooves could be heard, and Simon's cavalry appeared in everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.
At this distance, Bai Li doesn't even need a telescope.
The strong light above her head illuminated the front as bright as day, allowing the soldiers of the Great Zhou to see the front clearly.
In the rain, Simon's cavalry stopped their horses when they saw a white light. The two leaders whispered to each other for a while, then rushed forward again.
"emission!"
“Chirp!”
A wave of crossbow arrows shot out quickly. The cavalry was prepared and immediately turned over and hid under the horse's belly when the crossbow arrows were about to hit them. The wave of crossbow arrows missed and the horses were already close.
"Shoot the horse!"
Bai Li shouted, raised his crossbow and shot.
The second wave of crossbow arrows was aimed at the horses. This time the cavalry could not avoid them and had to block them with their swords.
Unfortunately, the crossbow arrow was too fierce and powerful. It was blocked by the knife and pierced the horse's belly and legs diagonally. The horse screamed and fell to the ground. The cavalrymen fell to the ground one after another. Those who reacted quickly rolled over and got up, while those who reacted slowly were trampled to death by the panicked horses. The cavalrymen were in chaos.
As they were in chaos, the crossbows from the first fortification never stopped. The panicked cavalry had no energy to dodge the crossbows. Whether they were lying on the ground or on horseback, they were hit by arrows one after another. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the thousand-man team had been lost. Seeing the bad situation, the leader waved his hand and shouted, "Retreat!"
Bai Li aimed his crossbow at him, and an arrow shot out. "Puff!" The leader was shot in the neck, and his body was carried away by the crossbow arrow. He fell a distance away and died.
The cavalry became even more panicked, and the deputy leader shouted urgently: "Don't panic, retreat in an orderly manner!"
"puff!"
A crossbow arrow hit him right in the neck, knocking him away and knocking several people away.
"Keep firing! Don't let them get away!"
There were about a hundred people lagging behind. Seeing that the momentum in front was not good, they turned their horses around and tried to run away.
Unfortunately, they were often frightened by the horses running around like headless flies, blocking their way. When they finished cleaning up the horses and wanted to run away, Bai Li caught up with them.
"Hey, you're just a little girl, dare to come and die?
Brothers, capture her and hand her over to our general, and we will be promoted and rich!"
"Brothers, surround her!"
About a hundred people turned their horses around and surrounded Bai Li, looking at her as if she were a prize in their pocket.
Bai Li looked at them coldly as they were like trapped beasts still daydreaming, and heard He Qiu Shui's voice calling her.
"Marshal, danger! Come back quickly!"
"Catch him quickly, the enemy is coming!"
Seeing that their own people were about to be killed by the enemy, the Simons did not rush back to rescue them, but only wanted to capture them and take credit for it.
Bai Li opened the evil claws that were reaching out to her, and there was a sound of broken bones. The man held his arm and screamed.
"This little girl is very evil, brothers, be careful!"
Simon's cavalry did not dare to be careless this time. He attacked Bai Li with the back of his knife, wanting to injure him and take him away.
Unfortunately, they miscalculated and underestimated the woman in front of them.
Bai Li stretched out his hand to block, and their swords broke as soon as they touched him. In the moment they were stunned, he shot out with a crossbow in one hand, and took several lives effortlessly.
"Brothers, shoot!"
The cavalry was furious and no longer wanted to take credit, they just wanted to kill people for revenge.
They all heard it just now. The enemy called her Marshal.
