Chapter 16: Lead the snake out of the hole
Noxus, Fort England. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"General, look, the enemy has withdrawn!"
Sain turned around, and sure enough, after closing the valley, Demacia's banner was no longer visible, and tens of thousands of enemy troops were slowly retreating on the smoke and dust of the cold moon. Leo's pupils are dark brown and as bright as burning coal.
"Why did Demacia withdraw? Is it a real withdrawal, or is it a ploy? Sain pondered, his eyes cold, like a pool of autumn frost staring at the closure in a daze.
"General, the enemy army is retreating, a golden opportunity, the last general asks for orders to go and chase and kill!"
Darius bowed his hand, his deep voice rippling with joy, and his eyes as cold as ice revealed murderous intent.
"Leo is treacherous, and this must be his trick." Sein shook his head and helped Darius up, his tone softening: "I know you are eager for revenge, but as a general, it is wrong to be lenient if you don't judge the situation, remember, Darius, don't let hatred blind your eyes." ”
Although Darius did not follow ...... heart, he did not dare to rebel, made a promise, and retreated.
Outside Dongming Mountain, the mountain shape under the night sky is like a snake.
The starry sky was clear, illuminating a flat clearing between the valleys. If you look down from the surrounding peaks, the valley looks like a deep cauldron.
Countless shadows struggled to move the stone in the moonlight, and in pairs and fours, they carried a huge rock up the valley, the stone was so heavy that it was necessary to stop and catch its breath after moving a few steps. In the center of the valley are scattered with strange-shaped stones, the barren and smoky valley streams pressed by the stones, and the cold stars suspended in the sky are reflected in the background, like a little spot of light, like a chess cloth, and only those who stand on the valley can see the huge chess game completely.
Dressed in silver armor, Galen stood in the distance, silently watching the soldiers busy.
One soldier was a little exhausted and collapsed on the ground: "What is it called not to attack the city gate, but to run into this ravine and ditch to carry stones?" ”
Another soldier who was his partner was using a spear to swing a 100-pound rock, and when he heard his companion's complaint, he just smiled lightly: "Don't complain, come here and help, these stones will be moved in an hour." ”
"What a grandma's back!" The previous soldier wept and spat on the ground and walked towards his companions......
"Buzz Buzz ......"
Another trumpet sounded, and it seemed that the whole ground began to burn after the closure, and the blazing wind swept towards the castle from the center of the star array with the sound of horses' hooves and hooves, and even the cold crescent moon under the stars had to cover half of its body to avoid the edge of the fire. The yellow earth was dusty, the hot sand and dust were rising, and the horses' hooves trampled on the strangely shaped stones under their feet, and some small stones were so stirred that they flew up and made a sound like they were about to burst.
The sound of horses' hooves is fast from far and near. Overlooking the battlefield, there are red and red cavalry, just like the arrow galloping from the string, Leo rode a white horse to the front, carrying an arrow pouch on the left and right sides of the horse's belly, and shot left and right in the gallop of the war horse, and the black arrows were like meteors to the city tower.
Sain was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't believe that Leo, who was famous for his wisdom, would make a mistake that even a mentally retarded would make and attack the city with cavalry.
"Archers prepare." Sein's cold voice came.
Above the castle tower, the Noxian archers lined up skillfully drew their curved bows.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Whoosh! Sou! A short moment later, the feathered arrows shot up to the sky with a scream, and a non-stop rain of arrows fell, completely covering the Demacian cavalry.
The hundreds of horsemen who rushed to the front and instantly planted their horses, and the men and horses were full of feathered arrows, and the corpses naturally formed an obstacle. The cavalry that followed did not continue to charge, and without glancing at their dead companions, they turned their horses together at the command of Leo and retreated out of range of the enemy to avoid the arrows.
At this time, 200 horses and 200 corpses were broken.
Sean stood under the Noxus banner embroidered with the word 'No', squinted his eyes and looked at the foothold of the enemy cavalry five hundred feet away: "Can anyone tell me, Leo, what do you want to do?" ”
There was a dead silence on the tower, and no one could answer Theon's question, and the soldiers hung their heads one by one, likewise no one could guess Demacia's true intentions.
After a long silence, they heard the sound of slapping the city wall, and the soldiers looked back, but saw that Sein's face was cold, his sword eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his tone faintly showed a light joy: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the city?" ”
"General, there are 8,000 cavalry and 4,000 infantry troops in the reserve army transferred from the capital. In addition, there were 3,000 infantry troops in the city, and after days of fierce fighting, our army lost more than half, and there were less than 10,000 remaining soldiers in the city, including 6,000 cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers. The lieutenant saluted and replied in a sonorous voice.
"Hmm." Sein nodded, and after scanning the crowd, his eyes became cold: "Pass on my general, allocate two thousand infantry troops to defend the city, and the rest of the cavalry will be born with this general to kill the enemy!" ”
"Out of town?" The adjutant general's face changed, "General, it's getting late, the fog outside the city is thick, rush out of the city, I'm afraid there will be an ambush, the general ......"
"Haha!" Sean smiled heartily and said casually: "I also suspected that it was Debang's trick before, and Leo used himself as bait to lure me out of the city for a decisive battle. But now it seems that the enemy army must be really withdrawn! ”
"Why?!" The adjutant general asked again.
"Riding to attack, weak crown and strong embankment, is a taboo for soldiers. General Leonid, resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and has served as a dreadnought pioneer for more than 20 years, how can he not know the reason? However, why do you know when you know that you can't do it? Sain paused, glanced at the adjutant, saw that he was silent, and sneered: "Soldiers, treacherous, real and virtual, and virtual." Leo and the Iron Cavalry of Counting Money are attacking the city, which is obviously a bait, but it is actually a broken ......"
When the adjutant heard this, he suddenly realized: "I understand the humble position, the cavalry is highly mobile, and it can confront our army and contain us, and we can travel a hundred miles a day to retreat, and catch up with the Debang army in a moment." ”
"In addition, it can also play a confusing role, so that our army is overstretched and does not dare to go out of the city to pursue." Draven, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly added.
"Well, that's good." Sean nodded, giving Draven an appreciative look. "Draven, I didn't expect you to see things so thoroughly at such a young age, and I was impressed. ”
"The general has won the award." Draven looked humble and returned the salute to Sain: "It's just a general...... Why did the enemy retreat? ”
Sein shook his head, and his two sword eyebrows frowned slightly: "General Du-Kekao once proposed to Zuan to arrange 50,000 troops of Zuan near the Howling Swamp, I think the withdrawal of Debang should have something to do with this matter, presumably Zuan has already accepted the general's suggestion......"
"In that case, why didn't the general send someone to the general's mansion to ask what was going on?"
Sein pressed Draven's shoulder: "It's too late, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is fleeting." It was a thousand miles away from the capital, and by the time the messenger returned, the enemy army would have long since disappeared. ”
"But—" Draven's lips moved, and he stopped talking, but he didn't go on.
"Will ...... Army, enemy ...... The army is attacking the city again! ”
"Panic what!" Sain glanced at the adjutant angrily: "This is a feint attack by the enemy, and it is delaying our ......"
Sure enough, after a round of loose arrow rain, the Debang cavalry retreated after dropping dozens of corpses. ”
"Draven, you stay in the city just in case." Sein took a deep breath and raised his battle axe: "Pass my generals, cavalry attack!" ”
"Boom boom boom..."
With the sound of panting drums, thousands of bonfires lit on the head of the castle of England, and the flames dragged several feet against the wind, dyeing the entire city red.
The city gate slowly opened from both sides, and the neat and orderly Noxian cavalry troops dispersed as soon as they left the city gate, dividing into two sides, left and right, protruding towards the two flanks of the Debang cavalry. A rain of arrows mercilessly shot and wounded Debang's horsemen from both sides.
"Today I vow to destroy the enemy army and revive my Noxus country!" Sain took the lead, and personally led Darius and dozens of brave iron horsemen under his command to rush to the position of Debang coach Leo: "Those who sacrifice their lives to kill the enemy will be promoted by half a rank, and those who kill Leo will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and the marquis will be knighted!" ”
"General, the enemy has taken the bait, let's retreat as originally planned." In the Debang cavalry column, a lieutenant general couldn't help but palpitate when he saw the Noxian cavalry menacing.
"No, we'll have to give Galendo some time to set the trap." Leo on the white horse straightened his armor, he was wearing a suit of heavy armor with a golden cloud flame tattooed on his breastplate, and the burning roses bloomed in it.
"Hmph." Leo had a cold face and a cold brow, not afraid. The sword was unsheathed, and the palm was cut with the sword, and the blood was dripping down: "Soldiers, the great battle is imminent, hold your shields tightly, pull out your swords and guns, and let the enemy see the iron bones of our German men, so that these Noxian pigs don't want to see the sunshine of tomorrow!" ”
"Drink-" The dragoon army echoed in unison, and the sound for a while was quite amazing.
"When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins! Soldiers, blow the trumpet, charge! ”
"Buzz Buzz ......"
At last the two cavalry platoons collided like a sea of mountains, and if the rumbling thunder resounded across the plain, it was like a thousand angry waves crashing against the mountains. Long swords and scimitars fluttered, spears and spears whistled and flitted, dense arrows rained like locusts crossing the border, and dull shouts and short roars made the mountains and rivers tremble!
These are the two most powerful Valoran iron horsemen, both of whom have a brilliant record of winning and undefeated, and both have the courage to die generously. Iron men struck, dead and unwhirling, hideous faces, bloody swords, low howls, and smoke and dust, and the whole mountain was enveloped and annihilated by the tragic aura of this primitive fight.....
