1266 Bloody (continued)
"They're going to be defeated, brothers, kill." Han Gang was already covered in blood, with countless injuries on his body, and his whole body was in hot pain, but he was still keenly aware of the situation on the battlefield.
"Kill! Kill them all. Ma Changqing beside him also roared loudly, his right arm was already injured, and half of his arm was dripping with blood, but he was still fierce with a knife in his left hand.
Han Gang secretly admired that if he could take everyone out alive, this Ma Changqing himself must be vigorously promoted and recommended. This guy is definitely a talent. But Han Gang also quickly told himself with a wry smile. If you want to escape, I'm afraid it's impossible, and even if you escape, Marshal Yang will definitely not spare himself this time.
More than 2,000 Great Zhou cavalry rose up and rushed forward fiercely with a shout. Thousands of Liao cavalry had their hearts fluctuating and had begun to scatter and flee. Once this kind of rout causes panic in the hearts of the people, it will be the time when the entire Liao army collapses.
However, at this moment, the sound of the horn sounded on the official road behind. A moment later, hooves rumbled and smoke flew up. The second 10,000-strong cavalry of the Liao State finally arrived at this moment.
……
Han Desui who rode his horse and stood on the sand dunes had already seen the situation on the battlefield, and he was surprised by the bravery of the Great Zhou cavalry. In this situation, there is still such combat effectiveness. At first, he didn't care too much about the opponent's trapped beast fight, but it wasn't until his own cavalry actually retreated that Han Desui understood that he had to let the second 10,000-person team play. The 10,000 cavalry couldn't eat them, and Han Desui was very annoyed in his heart.
But Han Desui is not worried, after the second echelon rushes up, the situation will be immediately controlled. An opponent who is already at the end of a strong crossbow will definitely not be able to support it. Han Desui was just annoyed that he had underestimated the other party's will to fight. Fortunately, this ambush was completely in the driver's seat, and if it was a large-scale head-to-head engagement, the consequences would be unimaginable. This incident sounded the alarm bell for himself, reminding himself that he should not be careless at all.
The second echelon of 10,000 cavalry rolled from the official road, their appearance seemed to give a shot of chicken blood to the Liao soldiers in the battle who were about to collapse, and the Liao cavalry who were hesitating to flee greatly increased their morale, and they turned their horses' heads one after another, and fought with the Great Zhou cavalry again.
Han Gang sighed in his heart, and when he saw the other party's follow-up soldiers and horses rushing towards him, he pulled the hot-blooded Han Gang and the others back to the cold reality. The other side is not only these soldiers and horses in front of him, but the other side has many soldiers and horses waiting to attack in the rear. Even if you kill all these Liao people in front of you, there are still endless Liao soldiers rushing in the rear. It's like walking in a dark corridor, you go to the end of the corridor and you think there will be light, but in fact, the end of the darkness is not light, but another darkness, and there is never an end. Such a reality can break people's wills to the point of despair.
All the Great Zhou soldiers knew that the last moment was coming. Many of them are exhausted, almost all of them are injured, mentally and physically exhausted to the limit. The previous engagement had drained all their passion and strength, and now when a large number of enemy cavalry were surging, the string that had been stretched to the limit in their hearts finally broke. Many of them hung down their long knives and turned pale, they had lost the courage and motivation to continue fighting, and they had become desperate walking corpses. It seems that there is no point in resisting, so why resist? It is better to end it and end this endless suffering.
"Kill! Kill! Han Gang still roared and brandished his long knife, slashing at the enemy troops in front of him. He was surrounded by hundreds of men, mechanically wielding long knives to fight the enemy. But a large number of soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit numbly stopped fighting, and they soon got their wish and no longer had to fight their opponents. Because their opponents show no mercy. The Liao cavalry swarmed up and slaughtered the Great Zhou cavalry who had given up resistance like pigs and sheep, without relenting at all because they stopped resisting.
The cavalry reinforced by the enemy was still seven or eight hundred paces away, and it was not at all before joining the war group. The situation on the battlefield turned abruptly. More than 2,000 remaining Great Zhou cavalry were quickly slaughtered in a short period of time, leaving only more than 500 people around Han Gang. No matter how much Han Gang yelled, it was already difficult to recall those numb souls that had lost their fighting spirit.
Faced with this situation, Han Gang's heart was painful, but he could only look up to the sky and sigh. He didn't blame these people, he knew that they had reached their limits. In the face of such a dead end, they have done their best. They're not actually ashamed, they're just tired, they just don't want to face it anymore. They don't have the heart to fight anymore. A person who has lost his fighting spirit and hope is actually not much worse than dead.
"Kill!" Han Gang burst into tears, and a hoarse and feeble roar came out of his mouth. As he roared and pulled his long knife out of the neck of one of the Liao cavalrymen, a mist of blood erupted from his arm. A scimitar dragged through his upper arm, and a huge wound appeared, and in the intense pain, blood gushed and quickly stained his entire arm and half of his body. A Liao rider with a hideous expression raised his knife and slashed at Han Gang's neck, Han Gang's arm was weak, and he didn't have time to change hands, so he sighed and prepared to meet the arrival of death.
When there was a loud sound, a long knife stabbed obliquely, blocking the deadly scimitar, and the next moment the horizontal knife was swiped, and the Liao cavalry screamed and fell off the horse, blood gushing from the neck.
Han Gang turned his head to look and saw a pale face covered in blood. That was Ma Changqing's face.
"Your Excellency, don't give up. If you have the last inch of strength, you will also shed the last drop of blood to kill the enemy. Don't be a coward who gives up halfway. Ma Changqing gasped, after the hand injury, the long knife in his hand seemed to be unable to grasp.
"Brother is right, not a coward. Come, you and I rush forward side by side. Even if we die, we will die uprightly and vigorously. Han Gang crossed his left hand and said loudly.
Ma Changqing laughed loudly: "That's exactly what you said." What he is looking for is the moment in front of him. Who doesn't die in life? Dying on the battlefield, dying in the fight with the enemy, this is a scene I can only dream of. The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years. We may not be able to go back, but our souls will return to our country with honor, and we will always be admired by the world. Isn't that an honor? ”
Han Gang laughed and said, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that there would be someone like you by my side Han Gang." Han admired Brother Ma and had no land. Even if you and I have been friends for a short time, I am proud to have a brother like you. There are no regrets about dying. That's enough, that's enough. ”
Ma Changqing said with a smile: "Do you want to say that you can die at night?" It's not accurate here, but I know what you mean. Ma thanked you for your respect, so let's die together. ”
Both of them burst out laughing at the same time. Their emotions infected the hundreds of cavalry beside them, and the Liao cavalry also looked at these two people speechlessly, and said in their hearts: Are these two Great Zhou cavalrymen crazy, and they must be crazy to say these things at this time. When he died, he laughed out.
Han Gang and Ma Changqing shouted in unison, and immediately stepped forward to start fighting. More than 500 cavalry also rushed forward. Although dozens of Liao cavalry were killed immediately, after the rear soldiers and horses were killed, the battle surface in the shape of a 'concave' no longer existed. Hundreds of Liao cavalry blocked the opening in the rear, trapping more than 500 cavalry of Han Gang, Ma Changqing and others. At this point, Han Gang and more than 500 other people have basically stepped on the ghost gate with one foot. In just a dozen breaths, more than 50 Great Zhou cavalry fell off their horses and were slashed and killed by the Liao soldiers around them.
At this moment, a violent roar sounded on the official road. The roar was deafening, making the mounts of the warring sides scream and jump in surprise, and also made all the warring soldiers and horses subconsciously look at the sound.
But seeing that on the official road behind, a black mushroom cloud was slowly rising, and a tall and handsome cavalryman with a young and handsome face was holding a black thing towards the sky, and black smoke was still rising from the mouth of the black thing. On his side, more than 100 cavalrymen riding tall horses were standing on their horses. Those cavalrymen were a little strange, wearing the light armor of the Liao State, but with long knives hanging from their waists. Instead of a longbow, it seemed to be a repeater. They wore a strange garment crossed over them, full of pockets, bulging, and filled with unknown things. This group of people does not look like Liao, but they are definitely not the dress of the Great Zhou cavalry.
"Kill me!" The cavalryman waved the object in his hand forward, and the next moment, more than 100 horsemen beside him rode their horses and rushed over. They were less than a hundred steps away from the battlefield, and they appeared on the road like ghosts, no one knew their identity and where they came from, seeing them rushing forward, the Liao cavalry and Han Gang, Ma Changqing and others were all confused, and they didn't know who these people were helping.
But the answer was soon revealed, and the rushing more than 100 horsemen skillfully took off the repeater behind their backs, and in the process of running, the dense repeaters had already shot in. Dozens of Liao cavalrymen screamed and turned over and fell off their horses. From this, the position of these people is also clear at a glance. It turned out that they were here to help Han Gang.
"Damn, slaughtered them, it's the Great Zhou soldiers and horses." A Liao army general shouted and cursed, waving his hand to give an order. Hundreds of Liao cavalry also scolded angrily and stepped forward. The other side only had more than 100 cavalry, and there were three or four hundred cavalry of the Liao army who rushed over, and they could completely kill them all.
The more than 100 knights who rushed over put their crossbows on their backs in unison, and drew their long knives in unison. The long knife was really long, one foot longer than the Great Zhou standard long knife, but it was three points narrower. It was the new type of long knife that Lin Jue had discussed and tested with the soldiers of the Luoyan Army, and Lin Jue called it the greedy wolf knife. The greedy wolf is the name of the stars, named after it, and takes the word 'greed', which means that this knife can cut off greed, but all thoughts are meaningful. It is extremely said that this knife is domineering. But in fact, Lin Jue's idea is that in battle, one inch is longer and one inch stronger, and in the case of equal weight, the longer the blade, the more conducive to combat. That's the essence of transformation.
The distance was already very close, and the knights could only shoot a box of repeaters. Even if these hundreds of Liao troops don't rush up to block the attack, they will draw their blades and slash and kill. The Liao cavalry rushed forward, shortening the distance between the two sides of the battle, as if they just blinked their eyes, and the soldiers and horses of the two sides had already collided together. In the next dozen breaths, the suffocating scene appeared in front of everyone's eyes, making everyone stunned for a moment with their mouths open on the dangerous battlefield.
