Chapter 117: Scarlet Seven Mile Slope (4)
In the dark of the night, a long fiery dragon meandered across the land, and the deafening sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the night.
The fire dragon passed all the way through the border villages, Zhuyangxi and other villages and towns in the northeast region of Jiangsu, and a large number of people were awakened by the sound.
On the second day, the legend of the dragon's crossing spread in the surrounding area.
"Drive!"
He Batyun kept flapping his horses, and the earth flew under the horses' hooves, running forward with his anxious mood, and his father He Battuba beside him was also anxiously galloping on his horse.
As the distance approached, a firelight could already be seen in the direction of Qilipo in the distance, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing in the air.
"Quick! Speed up! ”
The voice in his ears made Dehe Bayun no longer able to hide the anxiety in his heart, and ordered to urge.
"Quick!"
The commander of the army, Heba Duba, also gave the order.
More than 3,500 cavalry rushed towards Qilipo in the tremor of the earth.
"Kill!"
Kill! Kill! Kill!
"Shoot the arrows!"
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
"Ahh
Turning the dirt slope in front of him, the Qilipo mountain pass, which was 1 mile away, finally appeared in front of Heba Duba's father and son, and a tragic shout of killing was heard from afar.
Under the faint light of the fire, thousands of Su Dingfang's troops gathered at the mountain pass in the distance, struggling to resist the cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who broke through from the narrow passage of the mountain pass.
In the melee military formation, He Batsheng's armor had already been soaked with blood, with two broken arrows inserted in his left leg and right shoulder blade, and his figure barely stood in place, and the spear in his hand continued to wave and stab, harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers who killed one by one.
In front of him, hundreds of corpses of soldiers in Su Dingfang's army were piled up on the ground into a hill, and blood infected the earth, turning the ground under his feet into a muddy land.
He Batsheng was left with only a few dozen soldiers of the cavalry battalion following him, also scarred, helping him barely resist the attacks of hundreds of enemy soldiers around him.
At the narrow road hundreds of meters away from He Batsheng and them, the remaining more than 100 cavalry also dismounted their horses and formed a group to resist the siege of the army under Su Dingfang.
In such a tragic and desperate scene, none of the cavalry cavalry cavalry on the battlefield, including He Batsheng, showed weakness on their faces, and they all fought to the death.
"Sure enough, they are all good men!"
Outside the battlefield, on a high ground next to the Qilipo Pass, Zhu Junhua and others, who were closely watching the movements of the battlefield beside Su Dingfang, had solemn faces, and their eyes showed unbearable expressions.
The bravery and fighting spirit of He Batsheng and others were moving, and at the same time, they were also shocked by the amazing combat power of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
Under the well-designed ambush on his side, this Yangwu cavalry of less than 1,500 people suffered countless injuries when the first contact occurred, and the remaining Yangwu cavalry were all filled with countless arrows and the lives of their own soldiers.
In a short battle of only one hour, although they annihilated more than 1,000 Yangwu cavalry, they also paid the same proportion of casualties of more than 1,000 people. This is definitely something they didn't expect before.
In particular, He Batsheng's bravery is beyond their imagination, and I am afraid that in the entire Su Dingfang army, only Su Dingfang and his sworn brother Gao Zhong can match it.
Such a young brave general with superb martial arts and good use of soldiers is actually only a soldier with thousands of soldiers in the Yangwu Army.
Such a luxurious configuration made them smack their tongues, what kind of army are they facing?
"Rear formation, pikemen array!"
Under the military flag, Su Dingfang did not say a word about the low voices of the generals around him, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he turned around and ordered quietly.
"Spearmen out!"
The flag bearer waved the flag in his hand and loudly gave the order to the 3,000 pikemen who were ready to attack in the shade of the trees below the slope.
"Pedal Pedal ~"
Under the light of the fire, the three pikemen at the Qilipo mountain pass, led by the pikemen, began to slowly line up from the shade of the trees on both sides.
"A rider out of the ranks! Charge! ”
Seeing the spear array in front of them, the father and son of He Baduba and He Bayun who were killing from a distance did not hesitate at all, and after glancing at each other, He Baduba raised one hand, stopped the two heavy armored cavalry following behind him, and ordered.
"Whoa!"
Behind him, He Bayun and other two soldiers of the heavy armored cavalry of the unified division quickly received the order, and each led the cavalry under his command to separate from the middle and circle to the sides, and the 1,000 armored cavalry in the middle quickly approached.
"Kill!"
With a wave of one hand, he quickly led the 1,000 armored cavalry under his command to rush forward.
Thundered~
The hooves of the war horses, carrying hundreds of kilograms, slammed heavily on the earth, and rushed towards the mountain pass with an indomitable momentum in the tremor of the earth.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
The dense sound of horses' hooves resounded in the ears, and the terrifying power made the 3,000 veterans who had been following Su Dingfang for a long time on the opposite side also tighten their hands one by one, and their feet could not be as firm as before.
"Pull the net!"
Seeing that the armored cavalry was less than 100 meters away from the spear array, Su Dingfang on the slope shouted loudly and waved his hand to order.
Call~
As soon as Su Dingfang's words fell, dozens of soldiers hiding on both sides of the command below suddenly flashed, came to the side of the road, pulled up an iron net placed on the road, and ran to both sides, tying it to two big trees.
Not good!
The vision was blocked in the night, and they didn't see the iron net that was thrown on the ground at all, looking at the 3-meter-high iron net erected, He Baduba's face changed suddenly, and he was shocked, and he hurriedly wanted to restrain the war horse.
Unfortunately, it's too late!
In the fierce galloping of the armored horse, the distance from the iron net was less than 10 meters, and the war horse could not stop at all under the huge inertia.
"Hmph~"
Bang bang bang~
Amid the constant neighing of war horses, dozens of armored horsemen in the front line slammed into the iron net.
Suddenly blocked, a horse that lost its center of gravity collided together, and under the huge impact, dozens of armored horses in the front row, even people and horses were heavily hit by the war horses behind, and were wrapped together with iron nets.
"Ahh
The leading charge in front of Hebalduba was not spared, and under the continuous impact of the armored cavalry running behind, the war horse under his crotch lost his life in an instant, and Hebalduba was also knocked out in the air by the armored knights who flew in the violent impact, and even the knight with armor weighing hundreds of kilograms was hit by the back, and lost his ability to move.
The front of the 1,000 armored cavalry that could not stop the car was in disarray, and most of the armored knights died in the first place under the violent impact and the subsequent trampling of the horses' hooves.
Collapse!
The big trees on both sides finally couldn't withstand the impact of this huge force, and were directly pulled to the ground with a bang, and the armored riders who were in a ball rushed forward with iron nets.
"Father!"
He Bayun, who was leading two heavy cavalry in the rear to prepare to attack around the attack, turned pale in an instant, and shouted in a lost voice.
Before the two armies came into contact, more than half of the 1,000 armored cavalry under the command of Hebathuba had lost their combat effectiveness.
Pedal Pedal Pedal ~
The less than 500 armoured cavalry that followed were also heavily influenced by their comrades in the front, and many of them lost their front hooves, stepped over the corpses of their comrades and charged towards the pikemen.
Kill!
The tragic situation of their comrades in the army aroused the anger in their hearts even more, and with the anger of revenge, they rushed to the gun.
