Chapter 116: The Choice of a Small Country
In the Falling Moon Army, around the firelight, countless arrows fell from the sky, and the unknown Falling Moon Army suffered heavy casualties in a moment.
It seems that the army led by Lu Fan is in a hurry to shoot all the arrows on his body.
The Yanzi battalion advanced steadily in the dark night, and all the enemies in the way fell under the road, and even if the enemy wanted reinforcements, they did not know the direction.
And the enemy's brute horsemen, like blind people at the moment, often knock people into the air, or slash and kill only to find out that they are moon-falling soldiers.
At this moment, the enemy has lost the advantage of being numerous, and has not lost the advantage that it should have, and some have only changed from the joy of attacking the city to the panic of the moment.
On the side of the army in the falling moon, they were immersed in the joy of breaking through the city, and the soldiers rushed into the city gate, but found that the city gate in the urn city was closed, and the people behind could not see the situation in front, and many people could not see the front, but rushed forward.
Suddenly, the small door in the urn city opened, but because it was too crowded, there were not many people who could enter the city smoothly. As soon as I entered the city. What awaited them was the swaying broadsword, and before they could even scream, the blood in their throats had already burst out.
Unknown soldiers frantically poured into the city, thinking that countless gold and silver riches were beckoning to them.
At this moment, the urn city is full of neat soldiers, how can there be the sound of fighting in the siege, and the city wall is full of layers of soldiers.
Suddenly, the arrows rained down, and the enemy troops in the urn city were powerless, and the screams came one after another, and the same was true for the soldiers who had not yet entered the city, as long as the enemy troops were within the range of the arrows, they all made terrible screams.
At this moment, the soldiers behind stopped their momentum, and the wailing in front gradually subsided.
From the time of the breach, there were not two thousand soldiers who had entered the city until now, and there were more than fourteen or five hundred, and at this moment there was no sound of battle except for the low wail, and there was only the sound of arrows swishing through the air.
With the faint light of the fire, the Geltok in front of him was like an endless Shura field, and the rebels of the falling moon looked at the city gate with palpitations, like the bloody mouth of an ancient beast, filled with the bloody atmosphere of the sky.
The fire above the gates was like the eyes of a ferocious beast.
The moon-falling soldiers who originally attacked the city wall did not even have a moment at this moment, there was silence in the city, the fire had long been extinguished, but the fire in the city was the torches in the hands of the soldiers.
"Cheer!" the soldiers in the city shouted in unison.
Suddenly, a strange soldier appeared in the east outside the city gate, and it was so sudden in the fog that there was no preparation at all.
The enemy who was killed at once threw off his armor, and the leader was riding a black bear. It was Lu Lan who rushed forward on his mount, and the five hundred iron horsemen behind him rushed forward like madmen, and there were a thousand men and horses on each side of the cavalry, outflanking him.
If you look closely, all the soldiers in the dark night are tied with red ribbons, and the thin ribbons that glow with fluorescence rush forward with the soldiers.
The soldiers in the city poured out like a tidal wave, killing all the way. In the mist, there is no number of people, just an endless gushing out.
The east side remembered the earth-shattering sound of "Cheer!", and at the same time, the Yanzi Battalion in the west seemed to erupt in echoing the sound of "Cheer!", and an even more shocking sound of "Cheer!" sounded on the side of Gretok City, and for a while it seemed that the surrounding area was surrounded by Imperial soldiers.
For a while, all those intruders who did not know the reason were the "shouts!" of the Imperial soldiers, which frightened the enemy and frightened the enemy.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a black shadow in the sky above the Chinese army and the left army, and a faint blue light erupted from their main general, but it immediately dissipated, and the guards on the side in the fog found that their main general had been killed by an arrow, and everything was so sudden without the slightest preparation.
At this moment, a few people in the air are leisurely riding on the flying horse, flying slowly in the high air, as if the fog here is not as thick as that, or the flying horse has a natural ability to discern the direction.
"After looking for so long, if it weren't for their guards on the side, it would have been really difficult to find their location in the mist, but they didn't notice us at all, and it wasn't challenging at all!" said a white-robed young man leisurely riding the white crane.
"If you don't brag, you'll die! If it weren't for the tension of the battle below, I wouldn't have been able to find you? If it weren't for that Taoist priest's armor-piercing arrow, you could have shot him to death with one arrow?" said another gray-clothed young man riding a snow falcon.
"If you don't speak, you'll die, and if you don't break the armor, can you kill that lieutenant general?"
The two of them didn't seem to realize that they were killing people just now, as if they hadn't killed people at all, they had just killed an animal.
Or maybe you're numb...
The gray-clothed young man was about to sneer at each other, but immediately stopped talking.
Chun Yun flew over on the corpse bird and asked, "After you finish your mission, why don't you go back quickly, what are you grinding here!"
"Yes! The two of them flew back with the Commander.
Losing the general, the army of the falling moon, which was already in chaos, broke through like a headless general, several lieutenants with hundreds of soldiers who followed closely could not break through several times, and at this moment the soldiers of the falling moon were just like ripe wheat waiting to be harvested, and finally fled in panic towards the north where there was no enemy's 'shout'.
After fighting all night, the sky was slightly bright, and the blood everywhere, the cold air, mixed with the incomparable fishy smell, stimulated people's brains.
Lu Lan led the cavalry to chase after the fleeing, and the battlefield was over in just half an hour.
This time, nearly 5,000 people were beheaded, more than 1,000 people were captured, and nearly 1,000 people fled, of which nearly 500 or 600 fled to the north, and the rest of the men and horses escaped through the fog and scattered and disappeared.
The guards came to report that there were nearly 30 corpses of the enemy's barbarian cavalry, most of them were indiscriminate arrows and slashing with knives, but there were still more than a dozen barbarian cavalry who broke through with the chaos.
If you scatter and escape, it is not a big problem, and you can eradicate it when you clean it up later.
But if he fled north, then Lu Lan would have a lot of trouble.
Lu Fan did not enter the city to report the achievements to the county lord, so he took more than 100 elite horsemen and chased north.
With the footprints, Lu Fan pursued all the way to the Tumen River, and there was more than enough in it, and the rumbling and rushing river could be faintly heard.
Wang Sheng had been lying in ambush in the north, and when he saw and heard the deserters of the falling moon fleeing, he attacked head-on, but he could not resist the sprint of the brute cavalry, so he had to pursue them behind until he joined up with Lu Lan's elite cavalry and pursued the deserters together.
There were originally five or six hundred moon-falling soldiers who fled by the riverside, but at this moment, including the barbarian cavalry, there were less than 100 people, and the rest were all cavalry.
This made the infantry led by Wang Sheng almost useless.
Lu Lan rode a black bear and surrounded it in a half-moon shape with his cavalry, followed by the Tumen River, and the two sides confronted each other.
At this moment, the sun had risen, breaking through the blood-like morning sun, but it could not shine through the fog by the river.
Maybe the setting moon was to take advantage of the thick winter fog by the river and secretly cross the river, but unexpectedly failed this time, but it was also because of the fog.
Seeing the faint arrival of reinforcements, the Falling Moon Man showed dead ashes, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Lu Fan, and the barbarian cavalry still seemed to remember that Lu Fan's courage in the dark night turned his head and ran straight back.
Lu Lan's cavalry surrounded the remaining hundred or so cavalry by the river, but in fact, there seemed to be a clanging sound of metal behind him.
Lu Fan quickly rushed into the dense fog, and suddenly Lu Fan avoided the whistling knife and axe, and cut the two directly under the horse, watching several people looking at the chains of the chain bridge by the river.
A few people didn't care about the knife and axe that were about to be added, but they just slashed the iron rope vigorously, and with a 'bang', one of the four iron ropes was cut off, and the blue light flashed, and several people never had a chance to swing the second knife.
The hot blood in the throats of several people sprayed into the turbulent river, and they were planted into the boiling river with their bodies.
Without the deterrence of the Falling Moon Cavalry, Lu Lan had already engaged the enemy.
After a while, the fighting became quieter and quieter, and finally the people who were almost powerless to resist were forced to a corner of the riverbank, and could only be captured.
More than 20 people looked at the surrounding imperial soldiers, knowing that they could not escape, so they dismounted, and several people trembled and looked at the falling moon with tears across the river, their faces solemn and solemn.
Several people went directly to their homeland and their homes.
All the imperial soldiers around just watched the remaining twenty disappear into the rolling river in front of them, no one pursued, and some only had unspeakable feelings.
In troubled times, the choice of a small country determines the fate of the country, all in order to survive in the cracks, in order to survive better, these people embarked on the road of rebellion against the suzerain.
In the end, he was buried in the sacred holy river and returned to the embrace of the sacred Tumen River.
