Chapter 26: Swords are like crescent moons, arrows are like rain
The Zhizhi cavalry has been converted into infantry!
It's still a phalanx, but with more siege vehicles! And behind him was a neat phalanx of cavalry!
It turns out that the enemy was building a siege engine yesterday.
Looking at the black-pressed shield soldiers guarding the sharpened siege giant trees, Geng Xiaofan had no choice.
It's good to have a cannon, or a couple of Gatlings. Geng Xiaofan smiled bitterly.
"How do you fight this?" Huhanye was also a little undecided.
"Put the infantry near and destroy them with cavalry. The archers shot at the position, trying not to allow reinforcements from the enemy cavalry. This battle is not easy to fight. Geng Xiaofan sighed, I'm afraid there is only this way now.
Hu Hanye went to arrange, Geng Xiaofan stared at the enemy and began to order. "Spare the siege engines, the archers will concentrate on the cavalry behind!"
The enemy's cavalry seemed to be fearful and slowed down as soon as they came into range.
The siege wagons had already arrived at the gate, and the soldiers yelled and pushed the carts into the post gate, but the post gate opened itself!
A troop of cavalry roared out, and another burst of chopping melons and vegetables.
The enemy cavalry rushed to charge, and was shot down by the archers on the post wall.
The first cavalry was very valiant, and after destroying the besieging infantry, they fought and retreated in an orderly manner. The Zhizhi cavalry pursued closely.
The post gate couldn't be closed for the time being, and his cavalry was fighting with the other party again, Geng Xiaofan really couldn't bear to give any more orders.
"Shoot the arrows! Shoot as far as you can! Geng Xiaofan closed his eyes helplessly. If you don't stop the enemy, not only will you not be able to save the cavalry who are going out, but the post gate will also be lost, which will be a disaster!
Under the city, the soldiers pulled the enemy's siege engines into the post station, shouted loudly, and called their comrades back, but the heroic knights were already red-eyed, and they could not retreat! Behind him is the Shan Yu and Yan clan that he swore to protect!
"Shoot the arrow, release the arrow! Don't let any of them go! Geng Xiaofan was moved to tears by the tragic fight, he knew that this team of brave soldiers would not come back!
Swords like crescent moons and arrows like rain!
The enemy cavalry was overwhelmed by Geng Xiaofan's lifeless attack, and finally began to retreat one after another.
Geng Xiaofan hurriedly withdrew his troops.
Of the cavalry of more than fifty people, only seven returned!
Geng Xiaofan looked at the corpses in front of the post gate, and wanted to cry without tears!
The war is so cruel!
The war in the age of cold weapons is so cruel!
Huhanye walked over and patted him lightly on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.
On the opposite side, the enemy horn sounded again!
The enemy's second siege vehicle has reappeared! It's exactly the same as the first time, it seems that the enemy will definitely break through the Yunzhong Station today!
The second cavalry in reserve did not hesitate to jump on their horses.
Geng Xiaofan only felt his blood boiling! Bend down and pick up a scimitar on the ground, and turn over on your horse!
Just as he was about to say something to the soldiers, he saw in the distance, Liu Fei'er was standing in front of the big tent with Zhaojun in her arms!
My sister is still as calm as ever, but her eyes are full of tears, and Liu Fei'er is already in tears!
"Avenge the fallen brothers!" Geng Xiaofan held his scimitar high on his prancing horse.
"Revenge, revenge!" The cavalry was indignant!
"Defend Shan Yu, defend the Yan clan!" Geng Xiaofan no longer hesitated, turned the horse's head, and took the lead in rushing out of the post gate.
Stepping on the enemy formation, Geng Xiaofan felt an unprecedented sense of conquest!
But he had never fought on horseback like this, and he himself did not know whether he had cut the enemy or not.
In the end, he simply abandoned his horse and went to the ground, brandished his scimitar, and cut people and horses when he saw them!
Blood had splattered all over his body, and he seemed to have been slashed several times, but he didn't feel any pain anymore.
The arrows flew like locusts on his head, but he was careful not to go forward.
Watching the "comrades-in-arms" around him fall one by one, he forgot his fear!
Never back! I have to fight until the last moment to die, for my sister Zhaojun, for the beautiful Fei'er who loves her in her heart!
Out of nowhere, an arrow pierced his armor, and he could no longer swing his sword, and finally fell to the ground.
............
"Brother Xiaofan, what is that?" Sister Jing Yan seemed to open her mouth wide.
Geng Xiaofan looked through the high-speed swinging wipers, and there seemed to be a bright light ahead.
Could it be a truck, Geng Xiaofan braked urgently.
There was no impact, no pain, Geng Xiaofan felt like he was surrounded by a cloud of red light!
What about Sister Jing Yan? Geng Xiaofan turned his head to look at the passenger seat, and Wang Jingyan slowly became blurred in this red light!
"Sister Jing Yan!" Geng Xiaofan shouted!
"Brother Xiaofan, Brother Xiaofan!" No, this is Fei'er's voice, Geng Xiaofan opened his eyes and saw Liu Fei'er's beautiful face full of tears.
There is also Sister Zhaojun by her side, she is also holding her hand tightly with tears in her eyes!
"Am I alive?" Geng Xiaofan wanted to get up, but found that his whole body was sore.
Turning his head to look, it seemed to be in Sister Zhaojun's big tent.
"You're alive, you're alive!" Liu Fei'er's voice clearly revealed joy and excitement.
"Zhizhi people......" Geng Xiaofan remembered that he had fallen on the battlefield fighting with the Zhizhi cavalry.
"The Zhi army has been defeated, and my father is here." Liu Fei'er quickly explained.
"Oh!" Geng Xiaofan let out a long breath and relaxed suddenly.
Zhaojun and Liu Fei'er gently helped him up, and a bowl of goat's milk was brought to his mouth.
Geng Xiaofan took a sip gently, it was so sweet! I don't know how much "stone honey" my sister put in.
"Sister, don't you feel tired of putting so much stone honey?" Since the catastrophe is not dead, Geng Xiaofan has begun to be naughty again.
"You! Why did you go into battle in person, do you want to feel sorry for your sister to death? Zhaojun couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed down his eyes.
"I don't know. At that time, I was excited, and I felt that I should rush forward and die to protect you, you. Geng Xiaofan was overwhelmed by Sister Zhaojun.
"Don't allow it in the future, if you have three long and two short, what do you want Sister Fei'er to do!" Zhaojun wiped her tears, how could she not understand this beautiful Fei'er girl's feelings for Xiaofan.
"Okay, I will live well and try to live." Geng Xiaofan smiled and asked Liu Fei'er, "Tell me quickly, why did your father come magically?" ”
"Just when you were inseparable, my father arrived. He brought all the fort soldiers with him, and gathered the men and horses of several caravans he encountered along the way. They attacked the camp of the Zhi branch from behind. The Zhi branch was defeated at once, and had fled westward. Huhan Yeshan Yu had already led his troops to pursue. ”
Liu Fei'er hurriedly told Geng Xiaofan what happened later.
Seeing that the enemy's camp was in chaos, Huhanye knew that his "reinforcements" had arrived, so he immediately mounted his horse and led his troops to counterattack.
The left-behind personnel in the post station hurriedly cleared the battlefield and rescued their wounded soldiers. Geng Xiaofan was the first to be carried back.
Fortunately, although he had several knife wounds on his body, they were not serious, and the heaviest was the last arrow, which pierced his left shoulder.
