Chapter 84: Hunt and Kill
Dadu Mo's attempt failed again, and Li Huaitang wanted him to carry out the disappointment to the end.
A long horn sounded, and the cavalrymen, who were still bending their bows and shooting, quickly retreated, and hundreds of horses and camels were driven up from behind and pushed in front of Dadumo's horse.
It's so shameless! It's too much of a bully! Dadu Mo wanted to scold people, but unfortunately in front of him, in addition to the war horse, it was still a war horse.
Taking advantage of the stagnation of the enemy's charge, the three horsemen of Light quickly mounted their respective war horses, took out their horned bows, and under the leadership of their respective generals, spread out in an orderly manner, leisurely shooting and killing every enemy who stayed between the war horses and camels.
has been passively beaten, so that the morale of the Dadu Mo coalition army is very hurt, originally wanted to rush through the rain of arrows, and then close to each other, through the advantage of more people to annihilate the opponent. In the end, it was discovered that the original hope was so ridiculous, and the morale of the coalition forces quickly fell below freezing.
Dadu Mo collapsed, along with all the cavalry under his command.
With the reward of fifty gold coins behind them, the surviving coalition forces turned their horses around and fled the way they came, revealing their unprotected backs. Everyone was praying for luck, hoping that the bandits' bows and arrows were not so accurate, and that the people next to them would attract the robbers' deadly arrows......
The horn of the pursuit sounded decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
The Three Riders of Light attacked. The more than 100 recruits who had been watching the battle just now also abandoned their frightened expressions and chased down the enemy who had fled with the three horsemen of light. At the moment, excitement is everyone's only feeling, and fighting is nothing more than that, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Dadu Mo still hasn't understood, how did the switch between attack and defense be so fast, and why did he lose so much? Those horse bandits seem to be very powerful.
He is confused, who is this trap for?
In the desert, hundreds are in pursuit, and thousands are fleeing. The speed is not as fast as both sides expected. However, this is also conducive to playing mounted archery, and the accuracy of the three knights of light is still lacking, but they are already improving, and in front, from time to time, there are enemies who fall off their horses.
Fortunately, the sun disappeared below the western horizon in time, and the night saved Dadu Mo's life. For example, the generosity of the lost dog found that it took so long to travel in a short distance, and he didn't know how to escape back to the stronghold. When they returned to the stronghold and gathered to count, only about 500 people came back alive, including about 100 Turks.
Li Huaitang looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground, and there were more than 300 people in the dark.
Under the cold moonlight, that stronghold finally appeared in front of Li Huaitang's eyes. There was no imaginary city wall, and the stronghold was surrounded by a small wooden wall, which could be crossed by a prancing horse. Behind the wooden wall, a faint figure flickered.
"Take off the captives' shirts and tell them that if you cut down an enemy on the other side, you will be free."
Li Huaitang waved the scimitar full of blood and said viciously.
Hundreds of captives were distributed, and under the threat of the bows and arrows of the Three Horsemen of Light, they moved slowly and approached the stronghold in front of them in batches.
The Three Riders of Light were already exhausted, relying entirely on the encouragement of victory and the thrill of blood to support their will to continue fighting. All of them rode their horses and slowly followed the captives. As soon as the captives cross the low wooden walls and engage the enemy inside the stronghold, they can shoot their arrows and then break through the wall to kill every enemy who dares to resist.
Li Huaitang looked at the dim stronghold in front of him worriedly, before the Turks behind him arrived, he had to storm this stronghold, and then rely on the water source inside to deal with the Turks. The key now is when the Turgish behind him will arrive.
Fortunately, he left a hand last night, and suddenly set off overnight, disrupting their plans, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The captives had already begun to climb over the wooden walls, crawling and screaming as they went.
"Shoot them and set them on fire!" Li Huaitang ordered.
These captives didn't need to ask to know that they were telling the people in the stronghold that it was their own people who came up and that they should not use knives.
"Ahh
Several terrible shouts rang out on the wooden wall, and several figures who were about to climb over the wooden wall fell into the wooden wall.
"The Turgish people have killed people, don't let them go!"
The Godu and all the Litte-speaking cavalry fanned the flames vilely.
In this way, the fierce battle was ignited, and the old and new hatreds aroused the anger of the captives, and they simply killed the Turgish people in the stronghold first, so as to avenge the death of their relatives and friends in Bukhara.
"Die!" "Hack you!"
The topless captives crossed the wooden wall and engaged in a fierce battle with those inside. In the dim moonlight, it is impossible to distinguish the identity of the other party at all, as long as it is different from oneself and does not wear clothes, or wears clothes, they will all be slashed and killed mercilessly.
After all, the number of prisoners was less than the enemy in the stronghold, and they were no match for the experienced Turgish, and the defenders had a clear advantage.
"Put!"
Li Huaitang shouted the order and took the lead in shooting the bow and arrow in his hand. Then he drew his scimitar, shouted and instigated his horse, and ran towards the low wooden wall.
Hundreds of feathered arrows were hurled into the wooden walls, nailing dozens of people to the gravel regardless of status.
Thousands of horses' hooves struck the earth heavily, and even though this was a desert, the sound of galloping horses' hooves still shook Dadu Mo's people. Many were so frightened that their faces turned bloodless, threw away their weapons, turned and ran. Li Huaitang had not yet jumped over the wooden wall, and the rabble of Dadu Mo collapsed again.
Helplessly, Dadu Mo accepted Jiamu's suggestion and kept the wolf's teeth, not afraid of no meat to eat. Without saying a word, he rode his horse and escaped from the other wooden wall. As a result, his escape led to an escape match.
"Did you find fresh water?"
Li Huaitang was concerned about this issue for the first time.
Hudu shook his head and said fiercely: "Dadu Mo has destroyed all the wooden barrels and water bags, that spring, the water flow is pitifully small, and under the water source, Dadu Mo has also buried his body." ”
In fact, the barrels and water bags were destroyed by the Great Cannibal before Dadu Mo launched an attack. As for burying the corpse and destroying the water source, it was Dadu Mo's idea, anyway, he didn't plan to stay here for a long time.
"Damn it. If I catch him, I'll skin him alive!" ”
Li Huaitang kicked a captive away, still unable to understand his hatred, and slashed another captive with a knife.
Hudu persuaded Li Huaitang, whose eyes were red, and said calmly: "The water we currently reserve is only enough for two days, and if we make the biggest savings, it will be enough for five days at most." However, in the event of a battle, the consumption of fresh water is only enough to last for one day. ”
"These captives have been cut down for me. Let the recruits cut it down, and then abandon the corpse a hundred paces away from the wooden wall. ”
Li Huaitang did not hesitate to decide the fate of these captives.
"Did the naked ones cut down too?"
The protector looked at the prisoners kneeling on the ground, there were more than 400 people, and more than 100 of them were naked. They also made meritorious contributions to the Three Horsemen of Light just now.
Li Huaitang glanced at them, and a word burst out of his teeth: "Cut!" ”
There is no way, leaving them will only consume precious water. Let them go, and they will soon be forced to attack themselves naked, with knives, as they did just now.
The protector received the order and turned away.
The most painful thing today is not Dadu Mo, but the more than 100 recruits selected by Li Huaitang from Bukhara, most of these people were born as slaves, and they are not afraid of hardship, but they have not killed anyone. The long-term experience of slavery has made them forget the blood that was once hidden in their bones. This time, Li Huaitang made them too "addicted". A massacre on a grand scale was before them.
The handling of the captives was quite bloody and brutal. Almost all recruits were unable to complete their mission with one sword, and some actually cut more than ten knives before being let go by the veterans behind them.
The poor recruits, not only had to endure the visual impact, but they also had to endure the captives in both ears, and let out helpless cries for mercy and terrible howls before they died. Not only did the recruits throw up in the sea, but some of them also wailed and cried.
The scene of the prisoners was full of broken limbs, blood stained the nearby gravel, and the heavy smell of blood mixed with the sour smell of vomiting carried far away with the light night breeze. The goddess of the moon, high above, seemed to be unable to bear to see this cruel scene in the world, and summoned a light cloud, covering her elegant face.
Through the darkness of the night, Li Huaitang looked to the north, and he knew that this trap was not over yet.
In the depths of the desert, there was an intermittent low, faintly containing the desolate cry
Cry of pleading. It's the unique sound of grit in the desert, what are they saying?
