Chapter 724: Battle of Shalong 2

"Roar!"

A roaring barbarian rushed out of a small bush not far away, and he rushed forward with astonishing speed, shield and iron sword in hand.

He came like a whirlwind in the dark sky, giving way to the nearest cavalryman before he could react when he was stabbed in the stomach with his sword.

"Ahh The stabbed cavalry screamed miserably, and fell off his horse with a "cave pass".

This sudden flash of barbarian aroused the alarm of everyone present, and they all raised their weapons to guard their arms, and many soldiers were panicked because of the darkness in front of them, and the war horses under their crotches were also struggling.

"Don't be afraid!"

Andrew shouted comfort, for Andrew, who was closest to the torch and was like a beacon in the darkness, quickly caught the attention of the savage.

He was like a wolf hunting in the dark, and his eyes could be clearly seen in the faint light of the fire, reflecting the green light.

He jerked out his iron sword, raised it high, and charged straight at Andrew. At this time, only the beast-like roar of the savages was heard in all directions.

Now the whole team began to be confused, and the soldiers were afraid, for they could only hear the roars of the barbarians, but not see their traces, and the fear of such an unknown was far greater than seeing the barbarians who were approaching them.

"Be careful, be careful!"

Diego shouted loudly, and the horses were ready to step forward to protect Andrew, but the chaos was too great in front of him, and frightened horses kept scurrying back and forth in them, blocking Diego's path.

It's just that what Diego didn't expect was that Andrew knew that he was about to be attacked but still got up unhurriedly, his eyes were fixed on the barbarian roaring in front of him, and his right hand reached into the pocket behind his back and pulled out a shuttle dart and clenched it tightly in his hand hidden behind his back.

"Roarβ€”"

The frenzied savage came running less than ten meters away from Andrew.

"Brush!"

Andrew's heart sank, and he waved his right hand violently, and this force drove his whole body forward, and the shuttle dart that escaped turned into a black lightning bolt and flew straight out.

The savage was unaware of the danger until a strong wind blew, and by the time he sensed the danger and tried to raise his shield, the sharp pike had already pierced his neck.

It was as if he had been punched so hard that he was in the air and fell heavily to the ground.

At this time, only the sound of a bugle was heard, and at this time torches were lit in the grass and bushes in all directions, but in the darkness there was a great rush of people.

"We are in ambush! Andrew, get on your horse, we retreat! Diego exclaimed, urging Andrew to get on his horse over and over again.

Andrew didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly grabbed the reins of the war horse beside him, climbed onto the horse's back and followed closely behind Diego, but it was too late.

At this time, only the stars and torches converged into a sea of flames, but Andrew and their cavalry were more like an isolated island in it.

"Damn, we're surrounded!" Diego gritted his teeth, but still glared at Andrew fiercely when he was not paying attention, as if he was scolding Andrew, he shouldn't have stayed here for too long at this time.

"There are only five hundred of us." Andrew looked around and saw the barbarian army coming like a tide, he pulled out his iron sword and clenched it tightly in his hand with a "brush", and then said to Diego: "We can't wait here to die, let's kill it." ”

"There's only one way!"

Diego sighed lightly, raised the long sword in his hand and said loudly to the soldiers beside him, "Now follow me, let's rush out!" ”

With that, Diego kicked his horse's belly and rushed towards the barbarians who were gathering on the road as he returned.

The cavalry followed, all of them the Alan cavalry that followed Diego in battle, and the charge was gaining momentum, roaring, screaming, waving their spears and iron swords, and following Diego into the oncoming army of the Alemanni.

"Knock knock..."

A scream, and the dull sound of the horses crashing against the flesh, was especially piercing in the darkness.

Diego roared loudly with his iron sword, he didn't know how many enemies he had knocked down on his horse, but what he saw was that there were more and more enemies in front of him, and the speed of the horse's charge had slowed down significantly.

"Boom!"

The horses under his crotch were fiercely resisted by the shields of the soldiers who followed, and the cavalry around him finally lost the strength to charge and stopped in front of the shield wall formed by the barbarians.

The cavalrymen raised their weapons and roared wildly through the light brought by the torches in the hands of the Alemanni people, and frequently attacked the Alemanni who were blocking their way as much as possible.

"Don't let them go!"

Frederick the Barbarian, King of the Alemanni stood in the middle of the forest, and in his deep voice he commanded all the attacking Alemanni soldiers present.

His voice echoed through the woods, and the soldiers who heard the order roared loudly and gathered around the Alans who were still resisting like wild beasts.

Andrew rode his horse back and forth in the midst of the chaos, clutching the iron sword in his hand to knock down or kill the lone Alemanni, but the Alemanni were getting closer and more numerous, making his room for maneuver smaller and smaller.

But Andrew couldn't do that much, he was now so excited by the incessant and constant roar that he didn't care about anything but wanted to devote himself to killing as much as he could, and then escape.

Just as Andrew seized the moment to swing his sword and slash at an Alemanni with his shield facing away from him.

Suddenly, Andrew only felt the war horse under his crotch trembling violently, he quickly lowered his head, only to see a spear pierced into the abdomen of his war horse, and then looked along the spear, it was the murderer's hideous face.

"Damn it!"

As the Alemanni drew his blood-stained spear, Andrew's horse raised its front hooves with a wail and fell heavily to the ground.

Andrew was thrown to the ground like this, and one leg was still holding the carcass of the war horse and unable to move.

At this time, I only saw the guy who killed the war horse roaring angrily, raising his spear and rushing towards Andrew, who couldn't break free for a while, but was knocked away by the galloping war horse.

"Damn, it's not over yet!"

Andrew cursed, holding on to the crushed leg with one hand and breaking free, it took a lot of effort to pull the leg out from under the horse's belly.

He struggled to his feet, and now that the Alemanni were pouring in from all directions, Diego and his cavalry had no room to move.

The cavalry, which had lost its mobility, was even less than the infantry, and the Alemanni soldiers, armed with short spears, became their greatest threat at this moment, because they could not move on horseback, and could only serve as the target of the barbarians one by one, and were picked off their horses one by one.

"Dismount! Dismount! ”

Diego shouted loudly, giving orders to the soldiers behind him.

With a battle axe in his left hand and a Spada's iron sword in his right, Andrew slammed the Germanic man into the wall of Alemanni shields like a bull, hooking his shield with his axe and tearing open the necks of the Alemanni with his sword.
