Chapter 116: Scarlet Seven Mile Slope (3)
Kill! Kill! Kill!
The 1400 cavalry, who were extremely excited by the imminent victory, rushed towards the enemy camp with an indomitable momentum.
It's close! It's close! It's close!
The army quickly approached the enemy camp, and the excited look on Ho Batsheng's face gradually cooled down, and then showed a look of surprise.
With such a big movement of the army, why didn't the enemy camp react at all?
"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh
Just as He Batsheng was in shock, the front of the army had already rushed into the enemy camp. In the darkness of the night, before Hobatsheng could see the situation ahead, a series of neighing and screaming of horses sounded in the front of the army that rushed into the enemy camp.
"Hit the mark!"
He Batsheng's face instantly turned pale, and his mind went blank.
The narrow passage was shaded by trees on both sides of the slope, and in order to achieve the effect of the raid, the army carried only a small number of torches.
In the blurred vision, as soon as the forward was blocked, the rear army immediately became confused.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Just when the narrow road between the slopes was in chaos, a cold cheer suddenly sounded on the top of the slope.
Countless fires lit up at the top of the slope in an instant, and thousands of archers from Su Dingfang's army appeared on the top of the slope, igniting arrows and shooting at the cavalry of the cavalry battalion below.
"Ahh
Under the dense attack of the rain of arrows, countless screams resounded in the chaotic cavalry formation.
In this raid, in order to avoid detecting their movements for Su Dingfang's army, He Batsheng specially ordered all the soldiers in the army to change into light leather armor.
Under the attack of rockets, these leather armors could not form an effective defense at all, and countless casualties were inflicted.
The light of the fire illuminated the entire narrow road, and in the firelight, He Batsheng finally saw the situation in the enemy camp ahead.
I saw that the enemy camp in front was empty, only countless sharp wooden stakes were hidden under the curtain, hundreds of cavalry fell under the stakes, blood stained the camp, and under the stakes in the front row, dozens of cavalry and war horses were thrown helplessly struggling and moaning.
How so?
The tragic scenes in his eyes and the moans and screams that kept drifting into his ears constantly tortured and tormented Ho Batsheng's heart.
After all, he was only a young general who was not more than eighteen years old, and it was the first time he had suffered such a heavy defeat, and He Batsheng didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
"My lord, run away!"
Although the people of Hebatsheng were in a state of chaos and no master, their instinct for survival was there, and the spear in their hands kept fluttering, blocking all the incoming rockets.
Seeing that He Batsheng had not yet come to his senses, the guards beside him grabbed him and ran out.
"Withdraw! The whole army retreated! ”
It was only then that the guards finally woke up and turned to give a loud order to the hundreds of cavalry that were still remaining.
Hundreds of people stared at the rain of arrows on the top of the slope and began to break through on the way.
However, the narrow slope road seriously affected the speed of the cavalry's breakthrough, and some people in the rushing crowd were constantly knocked to the ground by the rain of arrows.
When Hobatsheng finally escaped from the area where the enemy archers were arranged, there were fewer than 600 cavalry following him.
Most of his elite cavalry remained in the narrow tunnel.
"Let's go!"
At this time, He Batsheng finally gave full play to the potential of the future famous general, swept away the depressed people behind him, quickly collected the emotions in his heart, and continued to rush forward with everyone.
"Stomp, stomp!"
The horse's hooves kept pounding on the ground, and the sound of horses' hooves came to my ears, and the basic formation in the panic could no longer be kept neat.
Call! Call! Call!
The rapid breathing of the war horse during the run and the faint heartbeat of the comrades around him.
Rounding a bend and looking up, the Qilipo Pass in the distance in the darkness was faintly in sight.
"Quick!"
He Batsheng was anxious in his heart, and accelerated the urging of the war horse under him.
As long as they get out of this seven-mile slope, there is a relatively open road outside, and once they break out of the mountain pass, Su Dingfang's army will not want to intercept them again.
Stomp, stomp!
The distance was getting closer and closer, and the faces of He Batsheng and the remnants of the cavalry battalion behind him all showed joy.
"Whew!"
Just when they were less than 500 miles away from the mountain pass, an arrow suddenly shot into the air.
After the sound of the arrows, countless fires suddenly lit up at the pass and on the slopes on both sides, illuminating the entire mountain pass.
At the position of the mountain pass, Su Dingfang, who was dressed in armor, sat on a war horse, and 30 meters in front of him, three rows of soldiers with Tai three-meter spears were densely packed at the mountain pass, the sharp tips of the spears glowed with a deep cold light, and behind him were several rows of archers with longbows, 3000 soldiers wrapped the entire mountain pass tightly, and the two sides were full of archers.
"Kill!"
Looking at the mountain pass, which was almost like a dead end, a trace of determination flashed in He Batsheng's eyes, and he raised the spear in his hand and took the lead in accelerating towards the enemy formation.
The scene in front of him was not beyond He Batsheng's expectations, Su Dingfang took such great pains to lure him here, how could he stop if he didn't annihilate them all.
Now what worries him most is not his own death, but his father and brother.
Before he sent out the army, he sent a message to his father, Hebalduba, and now it is very likely that they are also coming this way, and he must rush out to stop them.
With this strong determination, Hobatham's right hand with the spear became stronger.
Kill!
He Batsheng's determination instantly infected the hundreds of cavalry behind him, and these Xianbei knights who were from the same clan as him also showed resolute expressions one after another, and rushed forward at an accelerated pace after He Batsheng.
"Yang Wujun, it really deserves its name! Shoot the arrows! ”
Su Dingfang saw the instantaneous change in the expressions of He Batsheng and the hundreds of cavalry behind him, his expression changed slightly, his eyes showed appreciation, and he waved his right hand and ordered.
Woo Woo Woo ~ Thousands of arrows quickly shot towards the cavalry formation, and on the narrow narrow road, dozens of unavoidable cavalry were immediately shot to the ground, and the sound of war horses resounded in the night sky.
The rain of arrows continued to pour into the narrow road, and in just a few minutes, nearly half of the cavalry cavalry fell to the ground.
"Pikeman, press on!"
Seeing that the distance between the two parties was less than 100 meters, Su Dingfang ordered calmly again.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
1,000 trained pikemen lifted their guns and pressed them neatly, and the killing force was pervasive, and the momentum was overwhelming.
Kill!
Boom!
Yes!
The shouts of killing, the sound of collision, the screams of horses, and the sound of horses sounded at the same time, and the two armies collided violently together, and more than a dozen cavalrymen who rushed to the forefront behind He Batsheng did not dodge the dense gun array, and died tragically under the guns in an instant.
The war horse under He Batsheng's crotch also fell under the attack of the gun array at the first time, and at the moment when the war horse fell, He Batsheng dodged the attacking gun array with a leap, and the spear in his hand swept out, and the sharp tip of the spear slashed, taking away the names of several enemy soldiers who were close to him.
After dodging the first wave of attacks, He Batsheng stood up and fought with the enemy soldiers, and the strength of the late stage of Qi training made him invincible, and he quickly made a way for the cavalry in the rear.
Relying on a hole torn by He Batsheng, the remaining more than 200 cavalry cavalry battalions also formed a formation to fight with the pikemen.
The brave and belligerent temperament of the Xianbei people was also displayed in the engagement, and their outstanding physique and combat qualities gave them the advantage in the battle against the enemy pikemen, and under the leadership of Ho Batsheng, the opponent retreated.
Unfortunately, although they had the advantage in local engagements, they could not withstand the large number of enemy troops, and as people continued to die, Hobatsheng's room for maneuver was gradually shrinking.
"General, Hebalduba, they've arrived!"
Just when the two armies were fighting fiercely, a messenger rode in front of Su Dingfang and reported, and before the words fell, he saw Su Dingfang's eyes on the opposite side glowing with a terrifying light.
The Lord he was looking forward to has finally arrived!
