Chapter 599: From pursuit to killing
On the ninth day of April, the three-sided siege war began in the southeast of Analia, testing the borders with Padinya and the Satsuma Plateau, and then completely broke out.
The local army of the Analia province in the northwest gathered 20,000 people and relied on the mountains to drive the Selis cavalry running in the mountains to a flat place.
The army coming from the due north, flying the flag of Warhammer, totaled 15,000 people, and was known as the First Legion of Holy War. The commander of the army was Gahoris sent by Sakprut.
He is a Holy War Knight among the Twelve Knights of the Round Table. He is tall and tall, covered with thick silver armor. In his hand is a long-handled square hammer. He waves it in his hand as if it is nothing, and every hammer hits it. , will bloom with a golden light that pierces the eyes.
After driving the Seris cavalry in the mountains away from the mountains, he took over the war of the Analia local army. Riding an armored white horse, holding a long hammer and a diamond-shaped iron shield, he led his legion to launch a direct attack.
Woo——
The horns full of war sound sounded in the mountains, and the sharp short spears flew into the air as the Sakprut soldiers ran, and hundreds of arrows were fired. The rain crisscrossed and fell on the formations on both sides, setting off patches of blood among the crowd and the group of running cavalry.
Except for a few fallen cavalry, the flying Qiang cavalry did not panic and kept circling in the open field at the foot of the mountain. The cavalry outside would throw small black iron balls from time to time. , densely crossed a long trajectory, and smashed towards the tight phalanx on the opposite side.
In this dense formation, Gahoris has a serious and sacred face, and his voice is majestic, "Defense——"
But right now, this one is obviously more brutal than the other one.
A touch of gold rippled and spread from his body, and the eyes of the two large formations of the Holy War Legion soldiers seemed to have swaying golden flames.
The strings were ringing one by one, and blood blossomed on people's bodies from time to time in the crowd of pursuing Jihadi Legion soldiers. Many people were hit by several arrows and did not fall down. They were unlucky. , was shot directly in the head before he threw himself on the ground, and was quickly submerged under the feet of the soldiers running behind them. Hundreds of feather arrows did not slow down their speed at all, and their eyes remained firm and solemn.
In the smoke and dust, under the swaying jihad flag, Gahoris, who was fully armored, had already rushed to the front. He passed the guards holding the flag and accelerated again.
“Show the Thalys how ferocious you are!”
"What?" A soldier in the front row of the Holy War Legion murmured. The moment there was a ball of fire and a banging sound, accompanied by steel needles and iron pieces flying out.
The strength was not as strong as the arrows or the arrows. Some people lowered their heads in confusion and looked outside the shield. Those small iron balls were still burning with a line of fire.
More soldiers of the Holy War Legion jumped up like swarms of locusts, and fell like raindrops to the more than 300 horses in the rear. In an instant, the field was full of weapons waving, flesh and blood torn, and horses neighing. sound.
Densely packed iron balls flew in, and there was a roar in the front of the Holy War Legion. Shields were turned up from the hands of the soldiers, protecting their companions behind, and then there was a ping-ping-pong-pong sound in their ears. .
"These barbarians..." The flying Qiang cavalry in the rear group were completely shocked by the opponent's violent posture, and they couldn't help but think of the barbarian army that invaded the Western Regions.
The two thousand flying Qiang cavalry running in front learned that their comrade behind them had been bitten by the opponent. As they ran, they turned an arc in the wilderness and crashed into the barbarian army that was chasing more than 300 cavalry like a tide.
The impact of the explosion was not great, but it exploded in front of the shields, and the arms behind the rows of shields shook.
The sound of the continuous explosions slowed down a little, and Gahoris was surprised that the weapons of the Salis people were attacking in this way. Then, he raised the long-handled square hammer and shouted loudly: "The Holy Light of Heavenly Father, Protect you!"
The pursuit spread, and the flying Qiang riders in the rear team were also shocked by the speed at which these people could catch up with the horses. After reacting, the three hundred riders in the rear team turned around. Draw the bow and nock an arrow.
Swish, swish, swish——
Under the iron helmet, while running wildly, the deputy general of the Feiqiang Cavalry who led the team licked his chapped lips, tore off a piece of cloth extending from the armor, tied the handle of the gun tightly in the palm of his hand, and grasped it hard——
The war hammer fell on the undulating horse's buttocks. The galloping war horse neighed loudly and fell to the ground. The flying Qiang rider above was thrown half a foot away, and was stabbed to death by other Jihadi legionnaires who were chasing after him.
Then the steel needles and iron pieces struck and rubbed the gaps, passed over people's heads, and flew into the crowd behind. Many people gritted their teeth and let out dull screams of pain, including soldiers from the Holy War Legion. Covering his eyes and neck, he fell to the ground and rolled over, letting out a shrill scream.
The moment the Selis cavalry ran over, the big shields all moved away, and the Jihadi Legionnaires at the rear suddenly stood up from their crouching positions, kicked off their feet, and rushed out of the array. The entire front line , these soldiers are like runaway savages, wearing heavy armor, but their speed is astonishingly fast.
During the pursuit, he rode his horse in the midst of the rushing crowd, raised his hands and shouted. The soldiers in the front line of the Jihad Legion, who were swept away like flowing water, suddenly accelerated, kicked off the ground, and jumped into the air one after another, streaking across the sky. Crossing an arc, he waved the weapon in his hand, and the moment it fell, he smashed it fiercely at the rear of the Selis Cavalry.
They were armed with long hammers, flails, and spears, and they frantically attacked the rear group of flying Qiang who were still running.
"Let the Western barbarians know that our Daxia soldiers will never abandon their comrades, even if they all die in battle!"
"Everyone, see you at the monument!"
Screaming voice As it spread in the wind, the commander of the army and the captain had already responded. The cavalry under their command were in their gestures. The flying Qiang cavalry in front drew their bows and arrows, the cavalry in the middle raised their spears, and the flying Qiang behind them Qi pulled out the Huanshou knife from his waist.
The front formation consumes, the middle formation breaks through the defense, and the rear formation slaughters!
This is a tactic that Feiqiang Cavalry has long used when facing strong enemies.
“Kill!”
Two thousand people on horseback quickly prepared themselves, gritting their teeth and roaring. As they approached, the arrows from the cavalry’s front row were thrown out wildly. The Feiqiang cavalry in the middle of the formation, with their spears like a forest, accelerated crazily.
The momentum is here!
At this time, the soldiers of the Holy War Legion who rushed into more than 300 cavalry did not have any formation. After killing more than 100 Selis cavalry, arrow rain came from the northeast
Puff--
The jihadi soldiers wielding warhammers and flails were shaking wildly in the rain of arrows. The jihadi soldiers running to catch up were also running, and some were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
The next moment, the flying Qiang cavalry in the front formation separated from each other after shooting arrows, and the cavalry in the center formation directly ran into the scattered crowd with their spears.
Boom--
The high-speed charging horses collided with the jihadi soldiers wearing armor one by one. First, there was a loud bang, and the people were knocked away from their original positions, leaving blood behind them. Meat foam spurted out of his mouth.
The next moment, there was a sound like the continuous lapping of the ocean waves, and war horses bumped into each other. The oncoming Jihadi Legion soldiers were deflected and rolled over by the horses. Some were killed alive, or had spears pierced through their faces.
Because they were light cavalry, the Flying Qiang Cavalry charged into the crowd, and many war horses also fell hard due to the impact. The Flying Qiang Cavalry above was thrown to the ground, and was subsequently stabbed by the Jihadi soldiers who arrived. Chop.
The charging cavalry rushed into the scattered pursuit array like raindrops, blood spattered on the front line, their bodies hung on the forest of guns, their horses screamed and neighed, rolling and falling to the ground. Struggling and kicking, he pinned the barbarian in front of him, leaving a long pool of blood.
Soon, more soldiers of the Holy War Legion came over from behind. With the blessing of Gahoris's secret technique, they each became infinitely powerful, dragging their armor at extremely fast speeds and losing momentum here. The flying Qiang cavalry fought together.
Hysterical shouts, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing continued, and the entire battle group became chaotic for a while, but for the legion in Gahoris's hands, such a battle was the most important to them. favorable.
Boom——
A military commander swung his sword on his horse and slashed at a barbarian soldier who had his back turned. The moment the blade cut off the opponent's neck, there was an instant sound of piercing the air on his right side, and he subconsciously raised his head. He raised his weapon to block, and a square sledgehammer hit the blade in his hand.
A ball of golden light bloomed, and the flying Qiang-riding army commander suddenly flew off his horse and smashed into the crowd in front like a cannonball, killing two jihadist soldiers and a besieged flying warrior. The Qiang cavalry was knocked down, and the war horse also fell to the ground under the impact.
In the chaotic battlefield, someone turned his head and looked over. At the end of his field of vision, there was a burly figure riding a costumed war horse. He was covered in heavy armor and wore a strange cylindrical iron helmet on his head. There is a pair of eye holes and six small holes on it.
The man held a square hammer in one hand and a diamond-shaped iron shield in the other, urging the war horse to slowly appear on the battlefield. He had a deep voice, which came out from the can-like iron helmet, resounding around. "My name is Gahoris, a Holy War Knight under King Arthur!"
The person who responded to his words was a flying Qiang cavalry governor who came over. He understood the other party's words slightly, and he also shouted: "Get out of here!"
The arrow in his hand swished and shot towards the opponent.
Bang!
The sledgehammer swung away and easily smashed the flying arrows to the ground. Gahoris snorted coldly in his iron helmet. The slowly moving horse under him, as if it had a mental connection with its owner, turned around and headed towards that Officer Selis, who was shooting arrows, rushed over.
The heavy horse stepped on the thick dust, but it was like lightning.
......
In the distance, the rumble of horse hooves spread, and the leader, a man with a lion helmet, silver armor, and a white cloak with fluffy edges, was running and flying.
......
Atop the galloping heavy horse, the armor-clad knight held the square giant hammer and lifted it up in the momentum of the horse.
"Those who pollute the glory of the Heavenly Father will be punished by the Holy Light!"
The giant hammer suddenly swung away from his hand, bringing with it a golden light——
In the distance, a feather arrow It came with a blast of air——
At the moment when the giant hammer hit the spear shaft blocked by the Governor Cavalry, the flying arrow nailed the head of the hammer with a terrifying sound. The force caused Gahoris's arm to tremble.
The moment he turned his gaze away, Selis’s words shouted: “Get away!”
Officer Selis in front of him almost instinctively lay down on the horse, revealing a white figure in the sunlight behind him, riding a white horse and drawing closer in an instant.
‘Clang! ’
A cold light shone in Gahoris’s eyes, and the strong iron hand of his left hand suddenly grabbed it, making the sound of gold and iron colliding.
At the same time, the giant hammer in his right hand was swung forward. In the peripheral vision, the rushing figure jumped into the air, stepped on the giant hammer he swung, and flew higher.
Gahoris raised his face, and the figure turned its back to the sun, as if a shadow enveloped his head.
The blade of the sword and the shadow of the spear flew away with sparks.
The ownerless white horse and Gahoris passed by each other, running a few steps, and the figure that fell in mid-air sat firmly on it.
The wind blew, and the white tassels swayed slightly on the lion helmet, and the horse slowed down. Ma Chao above, holding a gun in one hand and a sword in the other, turned his face slightly to look at the barbarian general behind him.
The latter, carrying a giant hammer, slowly turned the horse's head in a circle. Gahoris looked at the opposite General Selis in surprise. Before he could speak, the full-covered iron helmet suddenly sounded a 'click' ' With a sound, diagonal cracks were revealed.
Then, it turned into two pieces, broke off from his head and fell down.
Gahoris's eyes widened, and he looked at the iron helmet that fell on the ground in disbelief. Then he looked at General Selis opposite, and felt a chill in his heart for no reason.
The war horse under him has a sharper intuition and is tapping its hooves anxiously.
"I am Xiliang..."
The figure in front turned around the war horse, turned around, his cloak was flying, Ma Chao stretched his arms to the left and right, and raised his spear and sword' The buzzing sound of cicadas.
“—Ma Chao!”
at the same time.
To the northeast, a thousand giant deer formed a formation in the mountain col to block another Sakprut army coming from the northeast.
The opponent numbered 14,000 people, surging over the mountains and plains.
Julu Lie's soldiers dismounted and acted as infantry, using their horses and rocks to fight back and forth with these Western soldiers.
On the jagged mountain battlefield, there are also sounds that do not belong to the fighting between soldiers.
It was a roaring sound. A big tree that two people hugged suddenly broke. The figure that was knocked away rolled to the ground and then bounced up.
He raised his gaze, with a look of horror in his eyes. His name was Gareth, Fighting Soul Knight, which means fighting soul.
However, in the forest opposite him, a tall figure wearing a large cloak and a bun, holding a long euphorbia, walked slowly towards the edge of the forest.
The light and shadow fell on his head and shoulders, and there was also a terrifying voice, which made people tremble.
“Xiang was not afraid when he was besieged and killed by hundreds of thousands of troops, but he couldn’t help but dare to come to seek death for me, a mere ten thousand people!”
Xiang Yu lowered his eyes and looked condescendingly at the Western barbarian general who was standing up and half-kneeling. He turned his face slightly and looked towards the side of the forest.
"Marquis Wen, go and help Meng Qi."
Over there, the sound of horse hoofbeats sounded, and hundreds of figures on horseback emerged. The leader was from Padinya. Lu Bu withdrew, his square-shaped painted halberd hanging diagonally on the ground. The red horse beneath him was breathing heavily and glaring at the barbarian general in the distance, neighing excitedly.
"Leave this place to King Xiang."
Lu Bu gently stroked the mane of the flying red cloud horse, the scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind, and the tip of the halberd whispered softly. Slowly raising his voice, the horse's hooves also stepped out at the same time, facing the battlefield over there, grinning: "Follow me, gallop to the aid of the Flying Qiang Cavalry!"
The flying red cloud horse raised its front hooves, neighed and roared, and then galloped out!
In the forest behind him, teams of cavalry rushed out, leaving Gareth stunned. He never understood that the Selis cavalry was not included in the information he inquired about.
Could they be coming from Padinya...
Thinking of this, Gareth wants to return to the army immediately and inform Gahoris of this news
He just stood up and hasn't taken a step back yet. The figure walking in front casually kicked a stone off the ground and hit a tree next to Gareth. The stone shattered and the tree trunk was hit with wood chips flying.
Xiang Yu grinned and said with a smile.
“Now that you are here, don’t leave.”
