Linqing County.

The optimal range of Daliang's standard longbow is within a hundred steps, so Pei Yue waited for the horse bandits to reach this distance before giving the order to release arrows. At one time, 300 longbows fired in unison, with arrows flying like locusts, hitting the horses head-on.

The bandits in front shot more than 40 people to death in an instant.

Li Zijun passed by an arrow, and at that moment he clearly felt the taste of death.

His mind suddenly flashed back to the time when Pei Yue cut his palm and threw out his dagger outside the Green Willow Villa in Kyoto. He wanted to fight him to the death. At that time, he was afraid and backed down. Not only did he lose five thousand taels of silver in vain, but he also became a member of the dandy circle in Kyoto.

The laughing stock. All the subsequent hardships were caused by this. Li Zijun felt as if someone had stabbed him in the heart. The fear in his heart disappeared without a trace, leaving only endless hatred.

"Kill!"

He raised his sword again and shouted, rushing towards Pei Yue first without fear of death.

The two strong men behind him holding broadswords were also staring at Pei Yue, as if killing this man was more important than protecting Li Zijun.

At this moment, the battlefield changed again. Pei Yue did not let his men continue to fire arrows, even though judging from the distance, they could still fire at least two rounds before they came into contact. He glanced at Li Zijun, who was in a state of madness, expressionlessly.

He turned around and walked away. The three hundred horsemen did not hesitate and immediately followed him under the leadership of the three sentry officers.

The horse bandits have superb riding skills, but most of the Zangfeng Guards are elite soldiers who have experienced many battles. How can they be weaker than a group of rabble?

At first, they took advantage of the increased speed of their mounts and were about to touch each other's tail. Li Zijun could even clearly see the lines of the light armor on these Beijing cavalry. However, even with such a slight distance, they could not catch up.

On the wide and flat land outside the city, Pei Yue and Sanbai rode in front, and Li Zijun led the horse bandits behind. The distance between the two sides gradually widened.

Li Zijun was so angry that he screamed and cursed wildly behind him, but his curses were drowned in the dust in the sky.

On the city tower, the former right-hand governor Yan Linchuan looked down and couldn't help but praise: "Jue Pei is very young, but he is also well versed in the art of war. It shows that your majesty has not misjudged the person."

Considering his age and status, this is not a big deal, but the city tower was quiet and no one spoke to him. The local dignitaries in Linqing looked hesitant. In their opinion, the horse bandits had gone crazy. They were clearly

The imperial envoy was driven around, so why did Mr. Yan still flatter him?

Isn't he afraid of being photographed on the horse's legs?

Yan Linchuan seemed to know what they were thinking and didn't explain much. He just looked at the battlefield with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Pei Yue led the three hundred cavalry and gradually accelerated. He had been too busy in the past half year or so, so he didn't have much time to train these people according to his own ideas. Even though they were veterans of the Beijing Camp, Pei Yue did have many good ideas in his mind.

thing.

For example, Sun Tzu's Art of War and Thirty-Six Strategies, as well as the background of reading professional military magazines all year round.

If it had been the time when he had just time traveled, he would certainly not have learned by rote, but in the past two years or so, he had been studying with Mr.

The so-called comprehensive understanding is not too difficult for someone with his IQ.

Fortunately, they were just a group of horse bandits at the moment, and what he needed was the absolute obedience of these three hundred horsemen.

When the distance between the two sides increased to more than fifty steps, Pei Yue raised his right hand and shouted: "Wait!"

The three hundred knights controlled the horses with both legs at the same time, holding a bow with one hand and setting an arrow with the other. Their neat and standard movements were spectacular, and they forcibly performed a cruel beauty on this chaotic battlefield.

"put!"

Another round of arrows shot towards the heads of the horse bandits behind.

Dozens of horse bandits screamed and fell off their horses.

"Pei Yue, you rat! You beast! Stop right there!"

Li Zijun was going crazy. From the beginning to the end, he didn't care about the casualties of the horse bandits. The only purpose of this trip was to entangle Pei Yue and use the lives of more than two thousand people to keep him where he was. As long as the other side could not maintain the

With this kind of organic and stable formation, Chen Xizhi promised that his backhand would be able to surround and annihilate Pei Yue and the three hundred cavalry.

It's just that Pei Yue seemed to understand his thoughts and didn't give him this chance at all. Now he even used rogue tactics that he couldn't even imagine.

Being chased but unable to catch up, unable to run, and having to be wary of arrows that might be shot at any time, Li Zijun and the horse bandits felt so frustrated that they wanted to vomit. You must know that Pei Yue is on the run and they are chasing them. In this situation

The power of the feather arrows will be infinitely amplified. At this time, the two strong men beside Li Zijun looked at each other, and saw surprise and heaviness in each other's eyes.

The horse bandits are miserable. From the first charge to the present, they have not even touched a hair of the other side, but have lost more than 400 people. Judging from the normal course of the war, after losing nearly 20% of the effective force,

This army will basically collapse. The problem is that Pei Yue is on the run and they are chasing him. Most of the horse bandits do not have the ability to judge the battlefield situation, and Li Zijun does not care about their life or death, so the horse bandits think that they

It was an advantage, so I pursued him in a confused manner.

As the commander-in-chief, Pei Yue certainly would not feel sorry for the opponent's losses. While observing the movements around the battlefield, he kept repeating orders to test the actual combat capabilities of his three hundred cavalry.

The tactics he is using at this moment are derived from the Mongolian cavalry that traveled across Europe and Asia in previous history. This method was called "Parthian Archery" by the ancient Romans, and the Mongols called themselves "Manguji". The core of this tactic is to pretend

Escape and induce the enemy to pursue, and the essence of it is speed and suddenness.

With Pei Yue's current command strength, too many cavalry will definitely be difficult to control, and if the enemy is too strong, it will be difficult to use them calmly. Today's more than two thousand horse bandits can be said to be the most suitable whetstones, and his three hundred cavalry are also among the elite.

He is an elite person who can achieve absolute obedience and is also very skilled in shooting, so he can be so successful.

After circling twice in the open space outside the east gate, the horse bandits still could not catch up with Pei Yue, and their morale had dropped to the lowest point.

Wei Rui, who was on the tower, looked at this scene and finally couldn't help but sigh: "My lordship is so talented that I can't compare with others."

Deng Zai next to him smiled and said: "Brother Wei, there is no need to be too modest. Although you are indeed not as good as the young master, you are still better than others."

Wei Rui laughed and said, "Bendang, you are complimenting me."

Deng Zai nodded slightly, then clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wei, I'm going to take a look at the situation in the city now, and at the same time I have to keep an eye on them to complete the tasks you assigned as soon as possible."

"good."

After Deng Zai left, Wei Rui just relaxed a little, and then he noticed something unusual in the distance, and his expression immediately became serious.

The battlefield was extremely noisy. Pei Yue was about to order the sixth round of arrow firing when he heard Chen Xianda, the sentry officer of the second team behind him, hurriedly said: "Sir, it's Shang Yu!"

When Pei Yue heard this, he looked back and saw a group of cavalry rushing from the northeast behind the loose formation of the horse bandits. He could vaguely see that the leader was Shang Yu, the sentry officer of the third group. According to Pei Yue's previous arrangement,

Shang Yu led his troops to ambush behind the mountain in the northeast, either as a response or as an ambush.

Although Pei Yue was a little dissatisfied with Shang Yu's previous performance, he believed that this person was not an idiot. He was determined not to act without permission before he issued the fireworks order.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
