Chapter Seventy-Six: The Wolf Cavalry
The sky was overcast and the cold wind was howling.
Between the two steep mountains, there was a small pass, and on this pass, a guard in his fifties, silently watched the enemy troops swarming under the city wall, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
"In the war between the Qiang and Yunzhou, are the Qiang also involved?" the guard muttered to himself, unlike the heavy equipment of the Qiang Tribe, the soldiers of the Qiang Nationality are mostly light leather armor, more flexible, and more capable of climbing, and their wizards are also able to perform witchcraft called bloodthirsty magic, which greatly enhances the combat power of the soldiers.
At this time, several Qiang soldiers climbed the city wall, the guards looked fiercely, and the three-meter-long heavy spear swept out, and the several Qiang soldiers fell off the city wall with a miserable scream.
"Death!" On the left, a soldier of the Qiang tribe who was not swept rushed over, the guard snorted coldly, and without looking, the five-foot-high stainless steel shield in his left hand slapped the soldier directly off the city wall.
"Hmph, one day when I, Xu Biao, will not want to be broken by you nomadic children. Xu Biao's eyes were like torches, and when he saw several people climbing the city wall, the veteran didn't say a word, waved the heavy gun in his hand, and swept towards these soldiers.
Agni Pass, this kind of cruel offensive and defensive battle is staged every day, however, under the command of the guard general Xu Biao, even though there are more than 20,000 troops of the Shan nationality, they still can't break through this Agni Pass, which only has 3,000 defenders.
"The small pass of only 3,000 people, you haven't captured it yet, it must be that you don't do your best!" Under the city, the leader of the Qiang army loudly reprimanded his generals, but the cadres and others who were reprimanded by him didn't dare to let go of a fart, so they could only let the leader abuse unscrupulously.
"Listen to me, the queen has spoken, if we can't break through this level in another half a month, all of us won't be able to save our heads, understand?" the leader scolded loudly with angry eyes.
"Understood!"
"If you understand, hurry up and seize the time to attack the city!" the leader kicked one of his subordinates, and suddenly, everyone ran out of the account and continued to command the troops to fight.
Time passed day by day, and the daily battle at Agni Pass was also very fierce. It's just that under Xu Biao's guard, it has always been difficult for the Qiang troops to make achievements.
Four days have passed, and early this morning, Xu Biao was awakened by the horn of the charge, he frowned slightly, the sound of the horn today is not the same as in the past.
Walking out of the city tower, Xu Biao couldn't help but be taken aback, only to see that on the hill in front of him, about a hundred wolf cavalry had swooped in.
The wolf cavalry of the Qian tribe, although Xu Biao had not seen it before, their notoriety had long been heard. It is rumored that this wolf cavalry is all made into mounts by the blue wolf king after special training, and then ridden by the top warriors, and this wind attribute blue wolf king, in addition to its own very large and powerful, its speed and endurance are extraordinary, and even under enough sprint speed, it can fly over the city wall, and its combat ability is very powerful, it is said that it is comparable to the elite existence of the Yunzhou iron cavalry.
With the blessing of bloodthirsty magic, these already large and strong wolf cavalry became stronger and more powerful, and the red eyes and the red evil aura emitted from their bodies also indicated that they were more violent and dangerous. Xu Biao frowned, he took the heavy helmet handed by the servant, this battle is probably the most difficult battle to fight in the past half a month.
As the horn of the charge sounded, all of a sudden, the Qiang troops swarmed again, and the hundred wolf cavalry, under the cover of the large army, rushed straight at an astonishing speed.
"Listen to me and shoot those wolf cavalry!" Xu Biao shouted. Suddenly, arrows rained down on the tower, but the reaction of these wolf cavalry was extremely flexible, and a volley shot only knocked over two wolf cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, these wolf cavalry had already rushed to the front of the city wall, and then, under Xu Biao's surprised gaze, the wolf cavalry directly ran up the city wall that was almost perpendicular to the ground, as if it were flat ground, and climbed the city wall in an instant, without even using a ladder.
The brutal battle started completely at this moment, seeing these wolf cavalry rushing to the city wall, the soldiers defending the city immediately launched a fierce counterattack against them, and in an instant, several wolf cavalry with an unstable foothold were cut down to the ground, but more wolf cavalry were scattered in all directions in an instant.
If you haven't personally fought with these wolf cavalry, you won't realize that the word "cornices and walls" is so vividly reflected in the wolf cavalry. The soldiers of the Agni Pass only felt that the feet of these wolf cavalry seemed to have a strong suction, whether it was a wall or a rock, it seemed that they could attach to it and move freely, just like walking on flat ground.
Swiftly shuttling through the city walls, these wolf cavalry can always pounce on one defender after another by surprise, and then use its sharp teeth to bite the soldier's throat, or a sharp scimitar to directly harvest the head of the defender. And some wolf cavalry, sitting down the blue wolf king, can even gather wind elemental energy on their claws, so as to cast a powerful storm claw, directly giving soldiers a blow of destruction.
"Is this the wolf cavalry, the ace unit of the Qiang tribe?" Xu Biao's eyes widened angrily, seeing his soldiers being knocked to the ground by these cunning wolf cavalry one by one, he roared loudly, and was about to have a seizure, at this time, the soldiers of the Qiang tribe who swarmed up under the city took this opportunity to climb the city wall in one go.
"Raised by a thief, Lao Tzu fought with you!" Xu Biao scolded, the heavy gun in his hand swept out wildly, and the dark yellow aura exploded instantly, and then there were pieces of enemy troops, which were swept down the city wall by a domineering force.
Suddenly, Xu Biao felt a cold murderous aura behind him, and then he didn't look at it, and the shield in his left hand slapped hard to the back, and suddenly, the wolf cavalry who intended to sneak attack Xu Biao from behind, even the people and wolves were slapped to the ground, and before they could react, Xu Biao had already stabbed them through with a shot.
The heavy gun provoked their corpses, Xu Biao shook them hard, and directly threw the corpses off the city wall along with a piece of Qian soldiers who had just climbed the city wall. At this time, more wolf cavalry came towards Xu Biao, Xu Biao's eyes were like torches, and he was angry in his heart, and he was worried that they would not come.
"I'll take the first credit. With a strange roar, a wolf cavalry had already rushed in an instant, the speed was amazing, and the sharp scimitar in his hand slashed towards Xu Biao's neck at an extremely tricky angle.
"You're still very early!" Xu Biao reacted early, and the big shield in his left hand slapped directly on the body of this wolf cavalryman without dead ends, and immediately slapped him out of the city wall with the wolf and fell heavily under the city wall.
Several other wolf cavalry followed, in the face of this sharp teeth and sharp scimitar, Xu Biao was not afraid, he was wearing heavy armor, he was still flexible and easy to act, only to see his left hand shield and right hand heavy spear, several rounds in a row, and then the wolf cavalry who came around him was killed on the spot.
With a "tearing" sound, the blue wolf king, who had lost his master, still wanted to bite Xu Biao's neck bone in one bite, but he was directly disemboweled, sprayed with blood, and fell off the city wall, and did not move after a few convulsions.
The battle has reached a white-hot stage, and the entire Agni Pass is extremely fierce. With the cooperation of the wolf cavalry, the soldiers of the Qiang tribe climbed the city wall one after another, and the defenders who were guarding the city were also forced to retreat to the area in front of the city tower at this moment, forming a thick shield wall to continue to resist stubbornly.
"Have you not surrendered yet?" the leader of the city wall shouted loudly.
"Hmph, my Huaxia boy stood up to the sky, only died in battle, and did not surrender!" Xu Biao said sharply.
"Okay, then I will fulfill you!" the leader sneered, and then raised his right hand high, but just as he was about to give the order, suddenly a steel arrow, with a terrifying sound of breaking wind, shot him through the chest with a huge inertia, directly took his whole person into the air, and then nailed it to the eaves above the city tower.
The sudden situation made the entire Qian army in a commotion, and they all looked in the direction where the arrow was coming, only to see a red figure in the distance, rushing towards this side at great speed.
Wearing a phoenix-winged purple and gold crown, wearing a white tiger swallowing gold armor, holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, and carrying a dark iron bow, he sat down on the purple gold red shadow divine horse, and the red cloak fluttered in the wind.
The wolf cavalry was stunned, there was such a stylish guy.
"Come to think of it, this person is Lu Bu, who has become famous recently. The corners of Xu Biao's mouth lifted slightly, but when he saw that Lu Bu was only single-handedly and did not lead the troops to follow, the expression on his face couldn't help but sink again.
"Don't tell me he's the only one. Xu Biao clenched his fists, and it was too reckless to fight against the army of 20,000 people alone.
"The whole army obeys the order, bow and arrow ready!" The leader died, and the deputy leader took over the army as a matter of course, only to see him calmly mobilize the archers to step forward, and then aim at Lu Bu, it was a volley.
In an instant, a rain of arrows covering the sky and the sun poured down towards Lu Bu, but Lu Bu didn't even look at it, the orange aura of his whole body burst out, and a substantial light condensed on the surface of his body, and the red shadow that sat down was also full of light.
The next moment, the rain of arrows in the sky completely submerged Lu Bu inside.
"Hmph, a person is also here to rescue, really looking for death!" the deputy leader sneered, however, soon he couldn't laugh anymore, only to see that after the rain of arrows, the figure who should have been killed by random arrows rushed out unscathed.
"How is this possible!" muttered the deputy leader, seeing the figure charging at great speed, the deputy leader hurriedly dispatched, let the archers back and the spearmen stepped forward, and suddenly, the dense array of guns was placed like hedgehogs.
"Come on!" the deputy leader had a fierce look in his eyes, a five-meter spear, no cavalry could break through head-on.
The air was unusually glued at this moment, and the monstrous momentum made the deputy leader, who was originally full of confidence, feel a sense of timidity in his heart.
"Why, my heart is bottomless?" The deputy leader unconsciously stepped back, staring at Lu Bu's immediate surprise figure, and ten meters, five meters, and then, I heard a loud "boom", a violent explosion suddenly sounded, and under everyone's surprised gaze, a terrifying ripple of energy burst out, and then, there were a large number of soldiers of the Qian tribe, and even people with spears were shocked and flew out.
