Chapter 309: Annihilation
Fei Can hung at the rear, satisfied to see Li De's cavalry follow and break in without hesitation, and then he was satisfied with his horse forward.
It was his only chance to turn the tables. The roads in the Great Rift Valley are intricate and intertwined, but many of them are dead-ends, and it is easy for those who are not familiar with the terrain to get lost in them. The troops will even be divided by the labyrinthine Rift Valley, creating a situation where they cannot meet when they hear the voice.
In the Great Rift Valley, the number of troops is no longer the decisive factor in victory, even if tens of thousands of horses enter the Great Rift Valley, it will not play a big role, and only those who can fully grasp the terrain here can grasp the initiative.
This is also the reason why Fei Can still dared to rely on the remaining strength in his hands to try to turn defeat into victory even if he lost most of the cavalry.
Two troops, thousands of cavalry, were submerged into the Great Rift Valley in an instant, and from the outside, it looked like a giant beast lying on the ground, opening its big mouth and engulfing the thousands of people in its mouth.
The Lu dragoons were familiar with the road, turned left and right inside, and after a while, their front suddenly widened, and three roads appeared in front of them, and Fei Can whistled, and the seven hundred cavalry were divided into three teams in an instant, and they were thrown into three different roads.
At this time, Li De's cavalry had been thrown out of sight by them, and could only faintly hear the rumbling hooves.
Fei Can smiled coldly, the next moment, his cavalry would launch a wave of surprise attacks from several aspects of the enemy, and after obtaining certain results, he would throw off the enemy, and so on.
Imagining the killing in the next moment, his eyes became colder and colder, it is impossible for brothers to die in vain, and in this great rift, he will seek justice for his brothers who died in battle.
The cavalry in front suddenly stopped, and the horses were violently reinforced, causing the otherwise neat ranks to be confused for a moment.
"What's going on?" Fei Can shouted angrily.
The cavalry in front silently moved out of the way, Fei Can rode forward, looked ahead, his pupils suddenly contracted, the road ahead was already relatively narrow, and at this moment, the narrow road was full of boulders, mounds and fallen trees everywhere. The infantry may be able to climb over, but the cavalry, no matter what, will not be able to pass.
Fei Can is well aware that this road should be unimpeded. But now, the way forward is blocked.
"Get out!" Without the slightest hesitation, Fei Can hit his horse and walked back.
When they returned to the wide place before, the other two soldiers and horses were also retreating from the original road, looking at their faces, Fei Can didn't need to ask, the way they were advancing must have been blocked.
Fei Can's heart was cold.
He had just managed to escape from a trap, but in the blink of an eye, he had fallen into another trap.
Roads are not blocked for no reason, of course, someone deliberately did it.
"Get out, get out of the Great Rift!" Fei Can's voice finally brought a hint of panic.
The roads in the Great Rift Valley are indeed in all directions, but they are now in an extremely awkward position, forward, in front of the three main roads, there are thousands of roads, which can allow them to appear at any point in the Great Rift Valley at will, but these three roads are now impassable. But further back, there is only one main road to get here.
In other words, at this time, there only needs to be one army to block their rear, and they will become turtles in an instant.
As if to verify his conjecture, there was a raging shout at the end of the road, standing on Fei Can's position, he could clearly see that groups of soldiers were pouring out from both sides, and one huge shield smashed to the ground, and between the gaps in the shields, the crossbow arrows on the crossbow cart flashed faintly. The pikemen set up their spears, and the crossbowmen raised their crossbows. Above his head, there was also a shout.
Fei Can looked up and saw the end of the rift valley, the flags of the Wuwei Army appeared one by one, and rows of soldiers appeared there. To everyone's horror, as soon as these people appeared, they began to throw bundles of thatch and branches below.
In the Great Rift Valley, there is not only loess and stones, on the contrary, it is full of all kinds of trees, at this time in May and June, it is the time when the grass and trees are vigorous, once the Wuwei soldiers set fire, they will be trapped here Fei Can's department, there is no doubt, will become a roasted whole sheep.
The drum sounded suddenly, and after the three passes, a crack in the shield array cracked, and Li De and another general came out and looked at Fei Can in the distance.
"General Fei Can, you have fallen into a dead end, lay down your weapons, surrender yourself, and avoid death." Li De said loudly.
Fei Can's face turned pale, he looked at the two generals opposite, did not answer, but turned to look at the soldiers behind him, and said: "Although the three roads are blocked, but abandon the war horse, people can climb over, although the enemy will have some arrangements, but after all, there are many roads over there, maybe you can escape a way out, you go!" ”
Hundreds of cavalry, standing but not moving.
Fei Can's eyes were slightly red, looking at the cavalry who were not moving, but his voice slowly became high-pitched: "Okay, good, worthy of being a good brother who has followed me Fei Can for many years, although he can't be born on the same day and month of the same year, but he can die on the same day of the same year, the same month and the same day." ”
He raised the spear in his hand high and shouted, "Fight to the death!" ”
Seven hundred cavalrymen raised their swords and guns at the same time, and shouted sharply: "Fight to the death, fight to the death!" ”
Looking at the passionate Lu dragoons in front of them, Li De and Hou Fangyu shook their heads slightly, Hou Fangyu raised his right hand high, and then fell suddenly. Above the rift, countless rockets rained down, and at the same time, buckets of grease were also spilled, and in the rift, the sky-high fire burned in an instant.
"Charge!" Fei Can fiercely clamped his horse, lowered his body, walked through the burning fire, and killed the Wuwei army in front of him.
Li De and Hou Fangyu turned around and submerged into the shield array, and the moment the shield array closed, the strong crossbow on the crossbow cart shot out with a sharp whistling sound.
There is no need to aim, because the passage is so large, a few ballistas, enough to block the road, each ballista can fire twelve to eighteen strong crossbows, under such a special terrain, there is no dodge, there is no way to dodge, whether you can survive or not, it all depends on luck.
However, even after the attack of the ballista, more pervasive crossbow arrows attacked like locusts, and on the top of the rift, there were even soldiers of the Wuwei Army who either stretched out their bows and arrows, or directly picked up stones and threw them down.
There would be no suspense in the battle itself, Hou Fangyu and Li De retreated to the rear, and they couldn't even see the extremely tragic battle scenes, only the whistling of crossbow arrows and the screams of dying or wounded.
Why didn't they surrender? Knowing that there is death and no life, he is still bent on death, which is unattainable. Hou Fangyu shook his head.
Li De looked up, looked at the column of smoke rising above the rift, and sighed: "This is an admirable opponent, even in the end, he did not give up the idea of fighting back." It's a pity that he is an enemy, and I hope that there will be as few enemies as possible. Lieutenant, this is not stupidity, this is faith, and it is a breath for the general. Would it be better to die standing than to live on your knees? If I had been in his place, I would have made the same choice. ”
Wait for the square domain to be a flute.
Li De suddenly laughed and patted Hou Fangyu's shoulder: "You are a scholar, so you naturally think more, or you think about enduring a momentary humiliation and seeking a long future, but for us pure martial artists, failure is equivalent to death." But Lieutenant Hou, now that you are also fighting in the army, I want to say that on the battlefield, you must not have such thoughts, because once you have such thoughts, you will lose three points first. ”
Listening to Li De's words, Hou Fangyu nodded silently, thoughtfully.
After an hour, the shouts of killing had completely fallen silent, except for the sound of a crackling fire, and the smell of roasted meat wafted through the air.
Li De and Hou Fangyu appeared in front of the military formation, the shield array had been withdrawn at this time, less than ten steps away from the shield array, a person stood with a spear, with dozens of crossbow arrows inserted in his body, and a few steps behind him, a war horse was nailed to the ground alive by two strong crossbows.
"This is Fei Can!" Hou Fangyu pointed to the general Lu Long who died but did not fall, and sighed.
A gust of wind blew from the mouth of the valley, blowing Fei Can's loose hair high, although he was dead, his eyes were wide open, but there was still a sense of majesty.
Pity a general who once beat the Khitan cavalry to death, and died in the Great Rift Valley.
In Fei Can's rear, it was even more miserable, most of the people were burned to death by the fire, they were blocked by the crossbow arrows in front, when the fire was ignited, there was no way to avoid it, there was no way to dodge, it was burned alive, smoked to death.
"Properly restrain General Fei, and when we arrive at Shijiabao, return his body to the opponent, this person deserves our full respect for him." Li De said loudly.
When Fei Can's whole army was destroyed, Liu Chenglin, who planned all this, was slowly advancing towards Shijiabao with his main force, if Fei Can's Lulong elite cavalry was not annihilated, he would not be able to complete the attack on Shijiabao, with a sharp knife behind his back, this battle would not be able to settle down at all.
A horse came from afar, and finally brought the news he wanted.
Fei Can's cavalry was wiped out.
Liu Chenglin let out a long breath, "Send an order to the whole army and speed up." At sunset today, we arrived at Shijiabao and set up camp. ”
The heralds Pegasus conveyed Liu Chenglin's generals to all the generals and lieutenants, and these people laughed happily, and they knew the hidden meaning of this order.
