Chapter Eighty-Nine: A Pyrrhic Victory
If you look at it from a high altitude, you will find that the cavalry of Qin State and Rong Di is like a thin straight line on the thin cotton, and the two thin lines are slowly contacting and will eventually converge. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The horses under Chu Nan and the others were getting faster and faster, and the whirring wind blew past their ears.
With a terrible whistling sound, feathered arrows rained down from the sky, like the horn of death, and the crossbows of these Rongdi people had a far longer range than their machine crossbows.
Chu Nan reached out and blindfolded the horse.
"Raise your shield!" The centurion commanded loudly.
Countless shields were erected.
A dull thump rang out over the shield.
Occasionally, the cavalry was shot off their horses by these sharp arrows and accompanied by the neighing of the horses, but the team still did not stop, but only tightened the spears in their hands and charged away with countless arrows.
Finally, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they could even see the hideous expression on Rong Diren's face.
"Wind!"
"Put!"
Each of the Qin army's machine crossbows has been soaked in tung oil, and although the power is not as good as the bows and arrows in the hands of the Rong Di people, it is stable and accurate, and it is enough to penetrate the shield armor at close range.
Countless arrows flew into the Rongdi people, and after a volley, the spears were raised, and these spears that were three meters long were like a forest of thorns.
The two sides finally fought together, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways, and countless screams and the neighing of war horses resounded in the sky.
Chu Nan saw that one of them, Rong Di, picked up his long knife very lightly, knocked him off his horse, and before he could stand up, he was crushed by the following war horse.
Countless blood bloomed on this grassland, and the blood that was wantonly emitted reflected the green grass on this grassland in a particularly bright red.
Gu Peng was completely numb at this time, his spear had been knocked to the ground, these Rongdi people were very skilled in riding, they were originally famous people on horseback, when it came to fighting on horseback, they were the ancestors of the Central Plains.
He leaned down, dodging the bright long knife of one of the Rongdi, and cut the leg of the man's horse, and the Rongdi fell.
He rushed down and slashed the scimitar into the man's neck, and the sound of the blade and the flesh and bones being cut sounded, perhaps because he had cut too deep and he wanted to pull the scimitar out, but found that he couldn't pull it out for a while.
There was a sound of falling to the ground behind him, and he looked back to find that a Rongdi man had come behind him at some point.
He looked at Chu Nan on the horse with some surprise, "Thank you!" ”
Chu Nan smiled solemnly, "You can't die now, at least not until you take us out of this ghost place." ”
In the distance, the black Qinzi banner was shaking.
The banner is the soul of an army, and if the flag falls, then their cavalry team of more than 100 people will be buried in this grassland.
Chu Nan quickly rushed over and drew the iron sword at his waist, countless sword intents were launched beside him, and the Rong Di cavalry who were close to him were injured by these sword intents and fell to the ground.
Beneath the banner, a cavalryman in military uniform collapsed limply to the ground, surrounded by countless steaming blood.
When Chu Nan lifted the man open, he found that it was a centurion who had long since died, and Rong Di's sharp scimitar almost cut off his neck.
Chu Nan threw away the iron sword in his hand and waved the flag sword, in this white sky, the black Qinzi flag was particularly dazzling.
In the distance, countless Yan soldiers in blue military uniforms are busy, countless hot pots are set up, the pot is steaming, accompanied by the aroma of meat, which is mouth-watering, these are the only thin horses in the Yan army, as well as the dead cattle and sheep, this is the last supper, but also the last madness.
In Yan Dan's tent, some of the accompanying servants were arranging the armor for Yan Prince Dan, and the thieves walked in, and those attendants hurriedly retreated.
The thief looked at Yan Dan and said, "Does the giant have to do this?" ”
Yan Dan said lightly: "This is the last thing I can do for Yan Guo!" Isn't it? ”
"Did the letter get out?" Yan Dan asked back.
"It's sent out, and the giant thinks that the king of Shanjung will agree!"
"He'll say yes!" Yan Dan must have arrived.
The thief didn't understand where the giant got his confidence, but now he is willing to choose to believe that the thief can be said to be the earliest leader of the Mo family, than Gao Yuanli, Snow Girl, and even earlier than Yan Dan, but now he is also very confused, is this path really right?
Yan Dan came to a gorgeous tent, opened the curtain and walked in, his hand clenched the hilt of the sword at his waist, but his pace was extremely steady.
"Father!" Yan Dan said calmly, not hearing a trace of emotion.
In the days of escape, Yan Dan rarely talked to Yan Wangxi, and even less did he want to have such a face-to-face communication, because when Yan Wangxi decided to hand him over to the Qin State, the father-son relationship between them was broken.
Although Yan Wangxi was wearing a brocade cotton robe, he looked much smaller than before, when did the once pampered Yan Wang be so embarrassed, and even the beard on his face had not been cleaned up for a long time.
Yan Wangxi looked at Yan Dan in front of him in bright armor, and his originally sloppy gaze suddenly brightened, and then dimmed.
"If you really want to do this, that's the last elite power of Yan Kingdom!"
Yan Dan's eyes were resolute, "Father knows that I have never been a person who can be caught with my hands tied!" ”
"Maybe this is the last time we will meet, and the last time I will call you father, you can do it yourself."
King Yan smiled bitterly, is there only one sentence for self-righteousness in the end? He thought.
He opened his mouth to say something, but never said it again.
On the battlefield that had just passed, rivers of blood flowed, the occasional scavenging vulture flew and circled in the sky, and the war horse wandered lonely beside the knight.
A horseman came to his beloved horse, it was too badly wounded, countless blood was slowly flowing out, the horse was neighing in pain, the knight turned his head away, and ended his pain with the short blade in his hand.
There are less than ten people left in the entire more than 100 golden fire cavalry, even if the remaining people are all wounded, and the Rongdi people are all wiped out, yes they won, but Chu Nan did not have the slightest sense of victory, they just silently took out the simple medicine bag they carried with them and bandaged their wounds.
"Help me, I'm here!"
Suddenly, Chu Nan heard a familiar voice, and he was sure that the sound came from this pile of corpses, and he moved these corpses away and found Gu Peng, who was covered in blood.
He struggled to pull him out.
"Your kid's life is really big!" Zhou Wu limped over, with a terrifying wound on his back, and he simply bandaged it with the clothes on Rong Di's body, without saying a word.
Gu Peng gulped in the fresh air outside and collapsed to the ground.
Chu Nan took out the wine bag he had found from the Rong Di people and handed it to Gu Peng and Zhou Wu.
"Now that I'm so badly injured, it's hard to drink!"
"You're serious!" Chu Nan asked.
Then several people laughed and drank the wine in their hands.
Chu Nan looked at the still snow-white grass in the distance and suddenly said, "Do you want to join the Golden Fire Cavalry?" ”
Gu Peng's eyes were filled with joy, "Really! ”
"Of course!"
