Sun Ji's white horse crossbowmen, who had been invincible outside the pass for more than ten years, were now left with only sixty or so riders.
Blocking the path ahead were two hundred Black Fox Bars under Lin Fu's command. For some reason, there were also two hundred Black Fox Bars further away that had yet to show their faces. They were merely moving about in a concealed manner.
Chasing behind them were three hundred Crow Lanzi and four hundred Longguan Horse Lanzi.
This was actually all the Beimang Border Horse Lanzi had.
Of course, if the second and third rate Beimang Horse Lanzi were included, the overall strength could be doubled.
Twenty years ago, Northern Liang Border Army's crossbowmen numbered more than two thousand six hundred cavalry. After this battle, if Sun Ji's troops were completely wiped out, then only Li Hanlin and Wei Tumu, these two officers, would be left with just over a thousand cavalry troops.
Suddenly, just as Lin Fu's Black Fox Lanzi had unknowingly arrived at the edge of the Longyan Plains, the sixty or so white horse crossbowmen all turned their horses around. They did not continue to try to break out of the encirclement, but turned their backs to Hutou City, to Liangzhou, and to Beiliang.
When the Beiliang crossbowmen collectively made this inconceivable movement, Yelu Chucai, although realizing that something was wrong, did not stop his attack at all. He took the lead and charged over. In his view, even if something unexpected happened, as long as he could swallow up these remnants, there was nothing wrong with it.
Brother-in-law Dong Zhuo had a catchphrase, saying that the good things in the world were only truly good things when they were in one's pocket. Otherwise, no matter how good something was, as long as it was not in one's hands, it was useless.
In a close distance cavalry battle, the Liang Mang cavalry all drew their blades in tacit understanding.
At this time, two bugle horns sounded from different places, vigorous and solemn. It was as if they were paying tribute to the dead, to the comrades who had lost their heads.
In a battle of scouts, the bugle horn should not have appeared on the battlefield.
Lin Fu and Yelu Chucai, the two commanders of the horse lanzi, followed the sudden bugle horn and looked in different directions.
Lin Fu looked into the distance to the right, where a cavalry troop covered in blood was charging over.
A tall and sturdy Beiliang cavalry general raised the head of a Beimang horse lanzi, roaring angrily, "Beiliang crossbowman Wei Musheng is here! The two hundred Black Fox Lanzi are all dead! "
Meanwhile, in Yelu Chucai's line of sight, a cavalry troop numbering around five hundred solemn and solemn, breaking through the yellow sand and dust, galloping over.
The cavalry general in the lead silently said, "Sun Ji, Commander, I, Lin Hanlin, will wipe out the Crow lanzi Lanzi."
The riders at his side were all comrades who had slaughtered their way into Southern Dynasty's Gentleman's Pavilion military town, uprooting countless Northern Mang Beacons along the way: Zhongpuzi Lu Dou, Li Shiyue, Fang Hutou.
At this moment, Lin Fu and Yelu Chucai understood that even without mentioning the Longguan scouts, just their Crow Lanzi and Black Fox Lanzi, even if they encountered other large-scale Beiliang cavalry, even if there were tens of thousands of Beiliang light cavalry troops, the two horse lanzi would still be able to safely retreat.
Unfortunately, they encountered those two White Horse crossbowmen, unable to escape, unable to retreat.
Yelu Chucai turned his head to look at the strange horse lanzi mixed in with the cavalry on his side. They did not carry bows or sabers, and did not even wear armor. During the pursuit of Sun Ji's crossbowmen, they did not make a move at all.
It was because they were martial artists from one of the five great sects of Beimang, Ti Bing Shan's son-in-law, his brother-in-law, Dong Zhuo, his personal retainers.
This group of hidden Jianghu experts was also the reason he dared to lead his troops near Hutou City.
Yelu Chucai originally did not want these Jianghu people to participate in the battle, but now it seemed that if they did not participate, his brother-in-law's Crow Lanzi would definitely suffer a great loss.
Without needing to communicate, Lin Fu led the two hundred Black Fox Lanzi to meet Wei Musheng's White Horse crossbowmen, while Yelu Chucai led his troops to meet Li Hanlin's five hundred cavalry crossbowmen.
The four hundred Long Pass scouts were responsible for taking care of the remaining sixty cavalry of Sun Ji's troops, and then reinforcing the Black Fox Lanzi who were temporarily at a disadvantage.
Once one of the main forces of Liangzhou arrived and entered the battlefield, Beimang's three horse lanzi would of course risk great losses to quickly retreat.
But right now, in this type of close battle, even if they knew that the three White Horse crossbowmen had created a dangerous situation, Lin Fu and Yelu Chucai were still unwilling to retreat.
Lin Fu led the two hundred Black Fox Lanzi to meet Wei Musheng's crossbowmen head on, while glancing back at Hutou City.
Lin Fu was waiting to see.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, unaware of the slingshot below.
Now, it was time to see who would have the last laugh.
If nothing unexpected happened, today's battle, one side of the border scouts would definitely die at the border.
