Chapter 769 Encounter
The war horse roared across the creek, rushed into the wide valley, and slowly stopped.
The knight on horseback looked at the commotion sergeant with cold eyes.
The sergeants looked at him and then at the high-flying flag with the word "Shao", feeling a little ashamed.
Some of them were digging trenches and building walls, some were making antlers, and some were transporting supplies. When the news came that the enemy had invaded, they suddenly turned pale and made a lot of noise.
Just when everyone was in a commotion and at a loss, King Liang came.
He sat on the horseback, across the crowd, watching them silently.
"What are you doing standing still? Can't you see the flag?" An officer reacted and said with a blushing face.
Everyone woke up from a dream, and immediately, under the leadership of the officers, respecting the flags and listening to the drums, they began to deploy.
It was said to be a deployment, but it was actually asking them to retreat to the rear of the half-repaired fortifications to resist the enemy.
Behind them, more than a thousand Chenliu Mansion soldiers stepped forward. A group of 600 people held large shields and spears, forming a relatively tight formation.
Another 600 people were divided into two groups and detoured from both sides. There were people from the rear moving their rifles. It was obvious that they had to be fully prepared, but suddenly, the ground was trembling with the sound of drums and horns. .
Behind the lush pine forest, hundreds of horsemen appeared in the blink of an eye. They were fast and fearless, and ran directly towards them.
Shao Xun dismounted and looked ahead.
Huang Zheng was so anxious that he even tugged at Shao Xun's sleeves.
Shao Xun threw him away and said, "If I retreat, these more than a thousand men will be defeated, so get out of here!"
Huang Zheng lamented repeatedly, but instead of retreating, he called for him. Several confidants ordered him to hold a large shield to protect the arrows, and led hundreds of elites to stand before Shao Xun, ready to fight to the death.
In a hurry, he glanced ahead and saw the enemy cavalry approaching in the blink of an eye amid the smoke and dust in the sky.
What a fast speed!
What a fierce style of play!
Even though Chen Liu's soldiers had experienced several bloody siege battles, they still subconsciously felt nervous when faced with such desperate running enemy cavalry.
The sound of hooves was like thunder, and each sound seemed to hit my heart.
Especially the soldiers standing in the front row, the smoke and dust in front of them made it impossible to see how many enemy cavalry were coming.
Maybe a hundred, maybe five hundred, maybe a thousand, or even more, who knows?
With so many enemies, no matter how brave you are, can you really escape unscathed? No one can guarantee that life and death often happen in an instant.
The enemy knights are getting taller and taller, emerging from the smoke like ghosts.
The war horse was breathing heavily and its eyes were extremely red.
The knight's hanging braids were flying in the air, and his gray fur was covered with blood.
They took out three arrows from the quiver with ferocious faces, and quickly completed the aiming action on the bumpy horses.
Senhan's arrow turned and aimed directly at the soldiers in formation.
Some people are feeling tremendous pressure.
My heart was pounding, and sweat flowed down my face, itching across my chest and disappearing into the lining of the armor.
My palms were sweaty, but I tightened my grip on Bu Yang, as if this would give me a greater sense of security.
The enemy cavalry is getting closer and closer, and you can almost smell the fishy smell brought by the north wind.
The soldiers almost held their breath.
"Woo——" A short horn sound sounded.
Like a signal, the soldiers arrayed with swords, shields and long spears were instantly activated.
The crossbow arrows shot out from both sides and hit the smoke heavily.
The feather arrows flew over everyone's heads with a whistling sound, knocking down one enemy knight after another to the ground.
The enemy seemed to be more fierce, rushing forward desperately, hitting two rounds of arrows.
One horse after another fell heavily to the ground.
One life after another disappeared on the grassland full of vitality.
After the enemy cavalry rushed closer, they split into two and circled to both sides. The arrows in their hands flew out quickly and fell into the Fu Bing army formation.
After one arrow is shot, the second one is shot, and then the third one.
After shooting three arrows, the knight looked at the soldiers, seeming to be looking for the target. His hand drew out three arrows again at a dizzying speed, and shot at the target he had just found at lightning speed. goal.
Arrows are raining down!
The speed of this arrow is more than twice as fast as that of the Huns, and it is also very accurate.
From time to time in the Fubing formation, some people fell on their backs and fell to the ground, while others gritted their teeth and screamed in pain.
The sound of "wow" sounded, and the soldiers in the rear row consciously stepped forward to fill the gap.
The infantry archers seemed to be possessed by a demon. There was nothing else in their eyes. They just kept picking up their bows and nocking arrows, throwing life-threatening arrows at the enemy cavalry.
Arrows flew here and there, and the sound of piercing the air continued.
The knight lay on the ground and rode away.
Many of the soldiers fell to the ground, and the remaining people more or less had one or two arrows stuck in their bodies, but they still stood firm and looked ahead, because——
With almost no pause, another wave of enemy cavalry rushed towards them at a very fast speed, accompanied by a loud shout of "Yeah", and they looked ferocious.
This rhythm is much better than the Huns cavalry! It barely gives you any time to breathe.
The bow string is pulled up with great effort, and you can almost hear a tooth-breaking "squeak" sound.
The arrow flashed with cold light, as if facing his own face.
"Buzz!" The overwhelming arrows flew in, almost blocking the sun in the sky.
"Woo!" The horn sounded, and the counterattack arrows were so densely packed that there was almost no room for people to escape.
The horse fell to the ground in pain.
The knight was not dead for a moment, so he drew his short sword and rushed over like a wild beast until three or five long spears were stabbed into his body.
There was also that brave man who rushed directly into the Fubing formation. After fighting for a few breaths, he fell to the ground.
The arrows of the enemy cavalry also caused certain casualties among the swordsmen, shieldmen, infantrymen, and archers.
The gap was quickly filled, and the formation returned to its original state.
Just before they had time to take a breath, the third wave of enemy cavalry rushed forward...
On the battlefield, arrows flew around, constantly consuming both sides. life.
"Drum!" Shao Xun drew out his saber and ordered with almost no expression: "Advance twenty steps!" "Drum-drum..." The sound of drums sounded from behind the formation.
Everyone heard this passionate voice.
Everyone felt that the blood in their chests was gradually getting hotter.
Even the two thousand Yellow-headed Army soldiers who had just arrived from the rear as reinforcements had goosebumps.
"Twenty steps forward!" the Fubing officer yelled.
"Twenty steps forward!" the sergeants shouted in unison.
Twenty steps is not far away, it seems meaningless, but when everyone successfully advanced twenty steps despite the arrows fired by the enemy cavalry, the original tension had long since disappeared.
We are moving forward, and the enemy has nothing to do with us.
Come on, charge forward, pull them off their horses, and kill them one by one!
After the third wave of enemy horses turned around, there was almost no time to think, and the tremors of the earth suddenly became intense.
In the thicker and thicker smoke, spears and euphorbias appeared vaguely, then tall war horses, silver armor, and——
The strong wind blowing in the face!
"Bang!" The crash of death echoed in the valley.
The infantry and cavalry collided into a ball.
There were knights lying on their backs everywhere, and soldiers falling out with bleeding mouths and noses.
The thin formation of hundreds of people could not stop the oncoming enemy cavalry. They only blocked it for a moment, slowing it down, and then they were scattered.
Two thousand soldiers of the Yellow Head Army were marching through the wall with long spears in hand. Suddenly they encountered the enemy cavalry rushing towards them. They had no time to react - no time to fight, no time to be afraid, no time to escape, and their brains went blank. Almost frozen there, he subconsciously held out the spear in his hand and stabbed the enemy on horseback.
A more violent impact occurred.
More than three hundred cavalry rushed into the formation of two thousand yellow-headed troops, throwing them into chaos and causing heavy casualties.
Correspondingly, this was also the last momentum of the enemy's charging cavalry. Amidst the shouts of people and horses, their speed completely stopped. Only a few dozen cavalry broke through the blockade, waiting for the horses to turn around. , more than a thousand Puyang soldiers rushed towards them.
The crossbow bolts shot out, almost knocking them all to the ground.
"Kill them!" Shao Xun shouted, and then led his troops forward.
"Kill them!" the soldiers shouted spontaneously.
"Kill them!" More and more people responded, and their voices echoed throughout the valley.
The dispersed soldiers of Chenliu Mansion slowly gathered together, stabbing people with their long spears, chopping the horse's legs with their heavy swords, their archers wandering around, releasing arrows from time to time, shooting at the enemy cavalry who were struggling to fight. Fall off the horse.
Looking down from the air, the enemy's shock cavalry has been divided into two sections.
The first section was blocked to the north by Chen Liufu soldiers who had dispersed and reunited.
They were facing each other with thorns, shouting for a fierce battle.
The six hundred people who had been dispersed to both sides came in a roundabout way, killing them from the flanks and rear.
The enemy troops in the second section were trapped in the formation of two thousand yellow-headed troops.
The Yellow Head Army did not react at first and fell into chaos. However, the battlefield was too narrow and there were people everywhere. There was no place to run, so the enemy cavalry could not charge up and could only sit down. On horseback, they used spears and halberds to stab and kill the yellow-headed soldiers who were crying for their fathers and mothers.
Soon, Shao Xun's banner moved closer, and the shouts of "kill them" were deafening.
The Yellow Head Army general who woke up first was extremely ashamed.
King Liang saved me, but I wanted to run away. Am I still a human being?
Zeng Yi roared angrily, kicked over a robe blocking the road, and rushed towards an enemy rider.
"Bang!" The halberd landed on the shield, making a dull sound.
Zeng Yi almost fell to his knees, but he gritted his teeth and held on, swung the steel knife and slashed hard on the horse's leg.
The horse fell to the ground in pain, and Zeng Yi almost saw the frightened eyes of the Xianbei knight.
"Poof!" The knife fell heavily and penetrated deep into the neck, and blood spurted out like spring water.
The body of the Xianbei knight who landed on the ground trembled rapidly, and soon stopped moving.
Zeng Yi raised his sword a few more times and chopped off the head. Then he grabbed the braid of the rope head, tied it around his waist, and rushed towards another enemy.
With his encouragement, more people came back to their senses.
The enemy has only two to three hundred cavalry, and they are surrounded by a crowd and cannot move. Isn’t that a living target?
More swords and axes were slashed at the horse's legs. The enemy cavalry who were just ravaging the Yellow-headed Army fell to the ground one after another and quickly disappeared among the crowd.
On the frontal battlefield, the enemy cavalry who were flanked by Chen Liufu's soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and turned their horses around one after another. In the end, only dozens of cavalry escaped in embarrassment.
However, these people were also fierce. After escaping for a while, they actually reined in their horses and stopped. Xu, a knight who looked like an officer, was furious and shouted in Jin dialect: "The king has led an army of 100,000 to go south. , I will marry Mrs. Yu sooner or later, so that she can give birth to a child for King Dai with peace of mind!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a puff of smoke rising from the rear of the Jin army.
Gao Yi, the governor who captured the students, rushed out with more than a hundred riders, with a fierce momentum.
The man was startled and called on everyone to ride away.
The bio-catching army had sufficient horsepower and fast speed, and they quickly got on board.
The other party knew that he couldn't run away, and with a fierce look on his face, he stopped running and started fighting on the spot with the life-catching army.
The two sides fought and rushed, and soon came back.
Chen Liufu's troops were as if they were facing a formidable enemy, because behind them was King Liang.
The Xianbei officer had a ferocious face and screamed strangely, aiming directly at Shao Xun, who was under his banner, as if hoping that this move would lead to a comeback.
"Bang! Bang!" There was a continuous sound, and Chen Liufu soldiers used their long spears and flesh and blood to withstand the final charge of the enemy cavalry.
The Xianbei officer's war horse was stabbed and was thrown away, falling heavily onto the grass.
Tong Qianjin and his soldiers swarmed up and crushed him to the ground.
Shao Xun walked over with a calm expression.
The Xianbei officer knew that he was unreasonable. He kept swearing and swearing, and his body struggled hard, as if he wanted to get up.
Shao Xun's thick arms directly grabbed his neck, pushed his head to the ground, then pulled out a dagger, and thrust it directly into his mouth under the man's fearful eyes.
Blood mixed with the teeth flowed out.
Shao Xun put away the dagger, pinched his chin with one hand, reached in with the other hand, pulled out the tongue that was still stuck in the mouth, and threw it to the ground.
The bloody human tongue was quickly covered with dust and seemed to be faintly steaming.
Shao Xun stood up and looked around. There were soldiers of his own in armor and soldiers everywhere.
The hasty encounter is over.
