Chapter 280: Sinking Together

Deng Ning held back the pain of the knife wound on his back and shouted, "Sisters! So far, we have only a battle against the water, and we must not lose the East City Gate! ”

At this time, Che Buhua and Wodhar's cavalry had an absolute advantage in numbers, and began to slowly surround the horsemen of the Golden Feather Battalion and the long-whip female soldiers of the Willow Leaf Battalion from both sides to the middle, wanting to squeeze them directly out of the glacier crack behind them, which was really a veritable backwater battle.

Deng Ning saw that the enemy army was gathering more and more, and her heart was horizontal, she saw the relatively weak point of the enemy soldiers, and shouted: "Sisters, help me." The soft whip in his hand swept forward. Immediately, six or seven soft whips swept along with him, knocking back a small area of the enemy. Deng Ning took the opportunity to jump out of the encirclement on his horse and rushed towards the distance. Rushing to the side and aiming at the head of the cut is a whip, which has long been looked at by Boduyan, and an arrow is shot, and the whip is shot to the side.

Che Buhua yelled: "You stinky woman, where to go!" ”

Deng Ning saw that it didn't take a horse to attack, so he turned the horse's head and left.

Che Buhua laughed angrily, and said to Boduyan: "This woman is dragging the knife again, and wants to calculate me with a whip." My knife is not as far as her whip, but can the whip shoot as far as your arrows? ”

Between the words, Qi Buhua had already stepped back on the ice field, and he was about to catch up with Deng Ning.

Bo Duyan put the bow on his back, took out two crescent crossbows, held one in each hand, and shouted: "This time you will not escape!" ”

Deng Ning sneered and said, "Who said I was going to escape?" The soft whip in his hand struck at Boduyan again.

Bo Duyan was robbed of the bow by her once, and she knows it well, where is she willing to be fooled again, and she has already prepared in her heart. I saw that he had already thrown the two crescent crossbows into the air before the long whip could reach him, and then took out the longbow and put two light feather arrows on them, aiming them at the machine of the double crossbow.

Unexpectedly, Deng Ning's long whip shook in front of Bodu's face and folded back, but it was firmly wrapped around the neck of the horse that cut the crotch of the treasure horse. Deng Ning saw that the horse's neck was tightened, and he immediately held the whip with both hands, and used all his strength to pull it back. The pony was strangled in a sore throat, and he couldn't help but bend his front hooves, only to hear a pop, and fell to his knees on the ice field. lifted the cut flowers and Boduyan on his back to the ground.

However, when the long whip was tied to the horse's neck, the feather arrows in Bo Duyan's hand had already left the string, and they hit the two crescent crossbows in the air impartially.

All three fell on top of the ice.

Deng stared at the gray-white sky, sent his left palm up, and a turquoise firework jumped into the sky, and in an instant, the heavens and the earth were dyed jade-colored, just like the lotus pond in Chuzhou, with green leaves in the sky. She wanted to open her mouth to sing the song of Cai Ling again, but with a crossbow arrow stuck in her throat, she couldn't make a sound again.

Che Buhua got up from the ground and rushed over to take a look, Deng Ningshang opened his eyes and looked at the sky, his whole body didn't move, and he was already out of breath.

Boduyan was more vigilant than Che Buhua, and when he saw the blue fireworks, it was clearly a signal flare, and he was suspicious of what it meant.

Suddenly, two crossbow walls that had been silent for a long time in the distance moved together, and from top to bottom, from south to north, all the giant crossbows attacked the ice field under their feet.

The glacial plains of the fissure had already taken up most of the ice fields, and such a dense concentration of giant crossbow arrows on the last piece of ice could no longer support it.

Che Buhua and Bo Duyan glanced at each other, and they both felt that the other party's face was pale, and they knew that the big thing was not good. However, it was too late to escape at this time, and suddenly a loud noise was heard, and the ice field that had just been fighting shattered in unison, and the crack of the glacier opened its mouth again, swallowing up all the ice in front of the East City Gate.

In the blink of an eye, all the double-knife cavalry that did not cut the flowers, even some of the shield-riding soldiers of Wodar who had rushed to help, and the only remaining female soldiers of the Willow Leaf Battalion fell into the ice pool together, and the scene was even more terrifying than when the rift had swallowed the Imuran cavalry formation for the first time.

On this side, the shooting of the crossbow wall in the east of Linzhou City had no intention of stopping, and thousands of crossbow arrows poked fiercely on the ice, stirring up ice ballast like knives where they passed, stabbing the people and horses on the ice who were lucky not to fall into the water into a river of blood.

It shot for more than a moment, and it was not until there was no more wailing on the vast pool of ice that the crossbow wall stopped. For a while, only the cold wind whimpered, like crying, and the air seemed to echo with the singing voice of the Chuzhou female Cailing:

The spring fang line is resting, and the people are not together.

------

In this battle, the losses of both sides are as follows:

Blue Sea Country

Deng Ning, the general of Zheyongxi, and Lin Qianmo, the prefect of Linzhou Prefecture.

There were 3,000 people in the Golden Feather Battalion, 500 in the Willow Leaf Battalion, 800 in the Military Band, and 200 Thorn Hammer Soldiers, making a total of 4,500 people.

State of Imuran

The two generals who broke blood and smoked, Bo Duyan, cut no flowers.

There were 2,500 cavalry in Boduyan, 3,000 in Chebuhua cavalry, and 1,000 in Wodar, making a total of 6,500 men.

------

On the south bank of the glacier, Gorihan was hurrying south with 4,000 men and horses and 500 remnants of Boduyan.

At first, he could hear the sound of the ice breaking and the earth-shattering fighting from the north shore in the distance, but gradually everything fell silent, silent.

Ge Lihan's heart was cold, and he knew that this battle was auspicious.

If his own people had won, with the speed of a horse that did not take a cut, he would have circled the ice field in a big circle, and he would have sent a messenger to report the news. Now there is no news, which means that Che Buhua has been hit hard. When Colehan thought of this, he sighed. He and Che Buhua are riding and riding in a double formation, which is a big killer weapon among the eight horses, if he really loses Che Buhua, it will be difficult to sing alone in the future, but I am afraid that the martial arts in front of the formation will be greatly discounted. The best hope now is that the cavalry formations that are isolated on the north shore can exit the ice field in time, at least retreat to Qi Lie's camp first, and then make plans.

When the soldiers saw that Golihan was silent all the way, they also became uneasy.

Seeing that he has been blocked by a glacier and has no way to retreat in a foreign country, and the future is uncertain, even the coach is now silent, and he is afraid that if he doesn't get it right, he will be buried in a foreign country.

Before these soldiers set out on the expedition, they were full of expectations, and they only thought that they could earn enough food and clothing for half a lifetime under Taiye City, but they only had three days to send out the army, not to mention food and clothing, and even the supply of food and grass was cut off, how could they not panic.

Ge Li rarely had a look of panic on everyone's faces, knowing the consequences of the army's unstable morale, so he had a plan. He pretended to take out the map and looked at it, pointed to the southwest, and said, "Not far from there is the village of the Linzhou Mansion of Bihai Country, called ...... Call...... His grandmother's, Lao Tzu doesn't know this word, in short, there is a village, I heard that it is very rich. Let's work hard, when we get to the village, we will kill chickens and sheep, drink wine and eat meat! ”

The blood people were born to plunder, and the words spoken by Ge Lihan were very pleasant to listen to the ears of all the soldiers, as if a person who had been sleepy for a long time had met a warm couch, and his spirit suddenly lifted up, and he shouted together.

"It's good to have a village, let's have a good meal when we enter the village."

"I heard that the roast chicken in Linzhou is the best, and it is much fatter than the pheasant in our Chigu Mountain."

"It's just that the wine of the blue sea is a little worse, and it tastes as light as mixed with water."

"That's right, it's still our praying mantis thorn that is the most powerful!"

It was rare for everyone to forget about the previous defeat for a while, and their hearts were slightly settled.

He squinted into the sky, and the snow that had stopped for a long time was falling one after another, like goose feathers all over the sky, and the flowers were dazzling. It's just that it's a little darker than before.

It is estimated that the time of Shen is about to pass at this time, and it is almost evening, although Fang has only made a false point, but he really has to step up to find a place to camp.

A hundred miles in a radius of the Thousand Marshes, Ge Lihan took nearly 5,000 people to hurry for a while, watching the northern Linzhou City gradually move away behind him, and the edge of the swamp can be vaguely seen in the distance in the south, especially the hills can already be seen, compared with the northern desert land is a different scenery.

Suddenly, the cavalry of the sentry in front had returned to report that there seemed to be an ambush on the shore of the ice field. Gorihan hurriedly made a gesture to signal the army to slow down.

Sure enough, after walking another mile or two, Corriham suddenly saw a group of men and horses standing around the shore. The reason why I didn't see it before was because the group of people and horses were all dressed in white and white, mixed with the snow, and it was extremely difficult to spot.

But if it is said that it is ambushed there, it does not make sense. Because the other party is just standing on the shore, without any intention of hiding his head and tail.

Ge Lihan looked around, it was also extremely empty, and there was no cover, and he couldn't see that the other party could have any other ambush on the side.

He shouted: "Order, line up in three formations!" ”

When the cavalry of the blood clan lined up, they mostly attacked and defended less. The name of the formation is also very different from that of the southerners, unlike those ancient military books that are written in the crepe of the crane wings and geese, and the Beidou Xuanxiang. The three-headed formation is a formation that divides the front army into three strands, protects the forward with the left and right wings, and echoes each other, which is simple and easy to understand.

At the command of Corliham, the 4,000 men were lined up in three groups, and the 500 cavalry archers of Bethuyan were in the rear.

In the midst of the white-robed army, there was a strong general standing on horseback, and when he saw that the Imurans were ready for battle, he shouted from afar:

"Who's coming? You can report your name as soon as possible! ”

As soon as the words came out, everyone found out that this Xiao general was a female general.

After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to know that she didn't understand here, so she let Tong Chuan shout again at the top of her voice.

Gorihan asked rhetorically, "Who are you?" ”

The female general smiled and responded: "I am Wu Qing, the general of Heze in Jingzhou, Bihai Country!" On the orders of His Majesty Emperor Ming, I have been waiting for you here for a long time! ”

When Gorihan heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.

He was shocked not that there were enemy troops waiting here, but that before the expedition, Wen Lan clearly informed the senior generals of all ethnic groups about the secret news from Taiye City, saying that Zhu Yutang, the Ming Emperor of Bihai, had secretly ordered Heze General Wu Qing to ambush near the palace in the north of Taiye City, where the mountains and forests were luxuriant, and there were many hills and valleys, and the ambush was not easy to detect.

Why did you meet this Wu Qing here?

If there is an error in the secret report, is it because Wen Lan has a deceitful intention to secretly harm my blood clan, or is it that the secret agent in Taiye City has been discovered by the Ming Emperor and deliberately passed on the plan to come over to plot against us?

Either way, it made Gorihan feel a chill down his spine.

No wonder Qi Lie released the sentry eagle sent by Hunying before entering the Qianqian Marsh, and he never noticed that there were ambushes, it turned out that this Wu Qing only led the army to wait for him outside the swamp!
