Chapter 118: The Great Banner of the Forest Character
The low wall and thistle beneath the ball of light were completely destroyed. Cleared all obstacles to the attack for the cavalry.
The elite cavalry of the Lin family army suddenly accelerated, and before the defenders of Shiling could react, they rushed through the already dilapidated city gate.
A textbook offensive and defensive battle turned into a duel between cavalry and infantry with the participation of a great cultivator.
More than 6,000 cavalry entered the city, like a pack of fierce wolves rushing into the flock.
The white forest flag fluttered in the wind at this moment, and the soldiers ran and shouted angrily, dancing vigorously, and swaying the blood and tears under the shadow of the sword and gun.
The wails filled all directions, and even Lin Ji, who was far behind, could personally feel the tragic fight from the front.
But there was not the slightest trembling in his eyes.
It was his first battle in the literal sense of the word as a military commander, but the hatred was enough to sustain it all.
The defense of the wall had obviously lost all effectiveness, and the loss of the city gate was like a sharp blade inserted into Chen Sheng's chest, not to mention that the blade was still stirring.
"Go down to the castle tower, drag them down with street fighting, and don't forget that we have 30,000 defenders in the city. Chen Sheng shouted, threw down the bow and arrow in his hand, drew the sword at his waist, and rushed down the tower from the passage.
However, the moment he rushed down the tower, he almost fell into despair.
Because of the two thousand defenders who were arranged by him near the city gate, there were already few left of the Lin family's army who were almost crazy to rush and slaughter.
And the iron cavalry of the Lin family army was already arrogantly rushing towards the other end of the city.
"General, do you think you still have any hope of winning this war?"
Chen Sheng turned around in response, and Lin Ji, a white horse and a Confucian robe, and a woman like a heavenly immortal appeared under the city gate at the same time.
Chen Sheng's face was a little hideous, and the guard who was in the front row of the Great Mang Army system looked at Lin Ji a little frantically.
He gasped for breath and reached out to stop the soldiers behind him from charging at the figure.
"Even so, I still have an overwhelming advantage in numbers, and you only have six thousand cavalry. ”
"Oh, is that really the case?" Lin Ji smiled.
As his words fell, countless long arrows shot out from the sky outside the city like the heavy rain of late autumn last year. Indiscriminately fell in front of the city gate.
Countless wails arose at this moment, one wail was the end of a life, and more were pierced by long arrows through the body, and then fell to the ground, and finally even the sound of wailing disappeared.
And the several long arrows that rushed down turned around as they approached Lin Ji's back, and the three-foot area around him was like a forbidden area. No matter how tragic it is in front of him, the wind and waves around him are still calm.
Chen Sheng suppressed the excitement of wanting to rush forward to kill Lin Ji, but under the cover of the guards behind him, he found a private house as a cover to hide, his eyes widened as if blood was dripping, everything he saw in front of him was blood, and the corpses all over the ground were almost all reckless soldiers, Chen Sheng was a little at a loss at this moment.
The duel between cavalry and infantry can not be measured by the number of people at all, and the six thousand iron horsemen of the Lin family army, who have the title of the strongest cavalry in the world, pierced back and forth on the main road in the city, and broke through the barely organized defenses in the pass countless times, and finally when the main road of Shiling Pass was covered with the corpses of the reckless people, no defender dared to raise the spear and sword in his hand to kill the cavalry that seemed to have the breath of death.
The armor on Chen Sheng's body was shattered at some point, and a huge wound was also scratched on his face, and his hair, which had been extremely well groomed, was also scattered aside at the moment.
"Surrender. Defeat has become a foregone conclusion, Chen Sheng breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the blood from the corner of his eyes, and threw the long sword in his hand to the ground, with a crisp sound, representing the end of this Shiling Pass offensive and defensive battle. It only took about three hours.
The occasional unwilling Damang soldiers sighed and put down their weapons, looking at Lin Ji who was standing in front of the gate of Damang City and enjoying the magnificent scenery of the war.
The white horse under Lin Ji roamed among the corpses covered in blood, but it was still spotless.
He ignored the hateful gazes, and even enjoyed some of them. Because he himself is experiencing this painful hatred, why not let the enemy suffer for a while while he is dying.
"Probably the general doesn't quite know why I'm going to fight this battle. Lin Ji gently pinched the horse's belly with his feet, and the white horse slowly walked towards the city, and then walked to Chen Sheng's side.
Lin Ji's tone carried a hint of certainty: "I'm not here to defeat you, but to kill you." ”
Chen Sheng's already inhuman-looking face finally turned pale at this moment, without a trace of blood.
He stretched out his hands tremblingly and pointed to Lin Ji's handsome face, "You...... You want to slaughter the surrendered army? This is a taboo in war. You ......" Chen Sheng subconsciously groped for his saber in front of him, wanting to pick it up again, but he didn't succeed because of excessive nervousness.
"General, maybe you don't quite understand my current situation. Lin Ji dismounted, walked to his side, and then sat beside him like an old friend, leaning on the collapsed house behind him.
Lin Ji found out that Chen Sheng's thigh had been pierced by the rain of arrows shot down from outside the city wall just now, but he broke the long arrow with great force, and then covered it with armor, so that the soldiers could not find it, and at this time he was sitting in the corner of the wall, and a large pool of red blood had already appeared under him, but he still did not let out any screams because of the pain.
"I've heard of you in Canghai City, as an excellent defender of Damang, you have done a very good job today. ”
"My path of revenge is long, and unfortunately you are my first opponent. I need to kill all the soldiers here to tell the other enemies that I am cold-blooded, so as to serve as a deterrent. Lin Ji patted his armor.
"Your target is Yanjing?" Chen Sheng regained the demeanor of a general at this moment, and it was not until the end of this war that he felt a little bit of the authenticity of the existence of this war.
"Yes. Lin Ji nodded. "Whoever kills my father, I will not let anyone have a good time. Whoever killed my Lin Jiajun, I will make him regret it for the rest of his life. I think if this person were you, you'd do the same as me, right?"
Lin Ji looked at Chen Sheng with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, he hoped to get his affirmative answer, even if he was so convinced that everything he was doing now was right.
"Maybe. Chen Sheng smiled bitterly, and once again glanced at the battlefield that was so calm three hours ago, and was already a bloody battlefield at this moment.
Then he closed his eyes quietly.
"I'll bury you, but I don't have a name. Lin Ji no longer spoke to him, but returned to his former appearance, stood up, and jumped on the horse.
"Well, thank you. Chen Sheng finally touched his blood-soaked saber, and then after wiping it on his body several times, a cold light flashed.
He looked at the white figure that was getting farther and farther away from him, a hint of helplessness appeared in the corners of his eyes, and then he no longer hesitated to wipe the long sword towards his neck.
"Shizi, there was no loss in the siege of the city, and all the mobile combat power of the soldiers in the city was completely wiped out in the battle just now. Zhou Ziqian patted his horse back, stood beside Lin Ji, and examined the bloody battlefield caused by his own hands.
"Assemble all the soldiers with swords at the south gate. ”
Zhou Ziqian took the order and left. Soon, under the iron hooves of the Lin family's army, nearly 5,000 soldiers who had lost resistance rushed to all corners of Shiling Pass and were driven to the south gate by the Lin family's army. ”
Lin Ji who appeared at this time was no longer a gentleman in their eyes, but a demon in a snow-white robe, they were angry, but they didn't dare to look directly into the eyes of this demon, just that even a powerful soldier still needs to live after all.
"You should know that the Lin family army has never raised a pawn, so do you want to live?" Lin Ji patted his horse and stood in front of the pawn, his voice was very cold.
