504, Five Days of Life and Death (23)
(The two watches are sent together.) 1st Update)
Three thousand forbidden soldiers hurriedly approached the dirt slope, and those who rushed to the front were Zhang Jidi and a thousand cavalry.
On the high slope, all the grain carts and granaries have fallen into the sea of fire, and the 1,500 cavalry of the cavalry regiment have also taken off the uniform of the forbidden army under the command of Zheng Fei, restored the true color of the Heavenly Dao Army, and formed a neat queue, the soul-breaking crossbow in everyone's hand has been full of arrows, and the sharp and bright arrows of more than 4,000 arrows are like stars in the sunlight reflecting the beautiful and deadly large starlight.
Zheng Fei observed and estimated the distance of the arrival of the forbidden army, the enemy's cavalry was marching too fast, and a certain distance was also opened between them, although the salvo of the Broken Soul Crossbow could also cause great damage to this thousand enemy cavalry, but after all, it was not as cost-effective as directly attacking the densely formed infantry behind,
"Aim at the infantry behind!" Zheng Fei said loudly, slowly raised his right hand, and the soldiers immediately began to adjust the angle of the Soul Breaking Crossbow to the sky, and only a moment later, they saw Zheng Fei's arm press down hard, "Ready, put!" ”
Airplanes......! More than 4,000 arrows were shot together at almost the same angle, making a heart-numbing roar, forming a rain of arrows, and flying towards the enemy with lightning speed.
Zhang Ji was so frightened that he was like falling into an ice cellar, and the blood all over his body seemed to be coagulated, but fortunately, this arrow rain was not coming towards him, but flew behind him, but he Mu Ran seemed to remember something, and hurriedly turned his head to look behind him, and found that the deadly arrow rain was really going towards the infantry behind him, although the infantry had a shield in their hands, but the arrow rain was too fast and fierce, and the infantry had no time to react, even if some raised their shields in advance, they could only protect their upper body, just like that, I saw that the two thousand infantry behind him instantly shot down a lot of arrows in a terrified and desperate scream, and the originally huge team was smashed flat as if it was slapped by a giant hand from the sky!
Zhang Jidi was extremely shocked in his heart, but his reaction was fast enough, and he ordered loudly after only a moment, "The cavalry are scattered, disperse!" Then he pointed behind him to one of the guards beside him and shouted, "Go back and tell the infantry, disperse, scatter and run!" "The other side's salvo is so powerful, the dense march is simply using them as a live target,
Zheng Fei saw that the enemy army quickly changed its formation on the high slope, whether it was cavalry or infantry, he secretly said in his heart, the generals of this forbidden army seem to be not idle, from the reaction after the attack to the change of formation is extremely fast, showing extremely high combat quality, no wonder Wu Song can't come out of Gaotang Prefecture,
"Put away the Soul Breaker Crossbow, come to the front, and prepare the Black Paint Bow!" Zheng Fei then ordered, since the other party had dispersed, the salvo of the Soul Breaking Crossbow would be ineffective. And Zheng Fei wanted to shoot a salvo or two rounds and rush down to Gaotang Prefecture by taking advantage of the terrain, but seeing the ferocity of the other party, it also aroused his fighting spirit, and it was better to use the terrain to eliminate some people as much as possible, and every time he killed a few more, he could relieve a little more pressure for Wu Song.
The 1,500 cavalry of the cavalry regiment immediately re-hung the soul-breaking crossbow in the special crossbow box on the saddle, and then took the black lacquer bow behind him into his hand and pulled the bow with the arrow in the air to store his full strength, at this time, the 1,000 horsemen had also rushed to the bottom of the slope, only to see Zhang Jidi restraining his horse at the bottom of the slope, just desperately waving his hand to drive the horses along the gentle slope to attack, he was not stupid, and he did not dare to take the lead in rushing to the front to die.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Shoot!" Zheng Fei and the other enemy cavalry immediately ordered after entering the attack range, at this time, there is no need to care about the angle and strength, there is only one way for the enemy to attack upward, as long as you are as condescending as possible and shoot the arrow down the gentle slope below to have good lethality,
With his order, for a while, the arrows on the gentle slope rained down, and the dozens of horsemen and their horses who rushed to the front were hit by arrows, and the screams of the people and the mourning of the horses arose, and the horsemen behind did not dare to go up again, and they stiffly reined in the horses and retreated.
Zhang Jidi at the bottom of the slope didn't care, he looked at the billowing black smoke on the slope and was already burning in a hurry, for him, at this moment, compared to the lives of these people, the food and grass of the 20,000 army was the most important! He immediately ordered dozens of his own soldiers to form a cavalry wall at the bottom of the slope, blocking the retreating cavalry at the bottom of the slope.
"No retreat! Rush up for me! Whoever dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law! Zhang Jidi shouted angrily,
Although the cavalry looked at the swords flashing with cold light in the hands of Zhang Jidi and his own soldiers, they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts, but they still didn't dare to turn back and go uphill, so they hesitated on the spot.
Zhang Ji was furious when he first saw it, now time waits for no one! He was ruthless, and stepped forward to stab a cavalryman closest to him, and the man screamed and was slashed under the horse, and his legs were kicked and there was no movement.
"Rush up! Otherwise, just like him! Zhang Jidi roared frantically, and dozens of pro-soldiers also began to approach forward, and the horses were horrified, and finally turned their horses' heads and rushed to the slope again.
At this time, the more than 1,500 infantry who were lucky enough to dodge the last salvo had also come to the bottom of the slope, and they were naturally driven up the slope by Zhang Jidi.
For a while, the gentle slope was crowded with officers and soldiers, running up the gentle slope like dense ants.
Zheng Fei waited for this effect, an order, the soldiers once again used the black bow to shoot at the gentle slope, the crowd on the gentle slope was so dense, almost no arrows, but this time the infantry was stained, they had shields in their hands, and they could also be used to block arrows to protect themselves, but the cavalry did not have many shields in their hands, and they were hit by arrows for a while, but at this moment, even if they were not afraid that they would be dealt with by military law, it was useless, and the way back had been all blocked by the infantry, so they could only rush up with their heads,
Unexpectedly, after they were shot more than 300 people and finally only a hundred steps away from the top of the slope, it was as if the rain had suddenly cleared the sky, and the damn rain of arrows actually stopped, and the officers and soldiers were overjoyed, and when they looked up at the slope again, they found that the thieves who had just been crowded on the top of the slope and were shooting arrows down were actually gone.
Well? Why didn't the thieves attack? What the hell are they messing with? The horsemen immediately reacted, and whatever they did, as long as they didn't let go of the arrows, they began to charge up the slope again.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At this moment, at the top of the slope, every Heavenly Dao Army soldier had put the black lacquer bow behind him again, and quickly formed a charging queue and drew his machete.
Zheng Fei turned his head and took a look, only to see that everyone's face was as heavy as iron, his eyes were firm, he was fearless, he was very satisfied, the Secret Dao Independent Division was worthy of being his own personal guard, and everything could be carried out thoroughly with just one order.
Zheng Fei looked to the side again, and saw that Hu Sanniang was also looking at herself, with a pair of beautiful eyes full of affection, both attachment and worship, although her beautiful face was a little dirty because of the overnight battle, but it added a bit of heroism to the heroine.
"Lady, follow me in a while." Zheng Fei smiled at Hu Sanniang, relaxed and comfortable, as if he was discussing with her how to travel in the mountains and rivers.
Hu Sanniang nodded obediently, she didn't feel nervous and scared at all, on the contrary, this feeling of being able to fight side by side with her sweetheart and live and die together is really good.
Zheng Fei raised his machete and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me...... Rush! ”
"Kill!" In an instant, under the leadership of Zheng Fei, the thousand horses were like arrows off the string, trampling the earth wildly, and rushed down the gentle slope with unstoppable might!
