Chapter 66 The important thing about war is the result, not the process
Then as the persuasion of Phoenix Fort sounded, a rain of arrows was swished out from the woods in response.
"Stubborn! Then advance slowly, dismount the ballista, and rush to the front! Gongzi Wei Xing, who only showed two eye holes, calmly ordered.
One hundred and twenty horsemen in leather armor and leather hats quickly jumped off their horses, and in groups of two or three, they rushed to the front in a very orderly manner to open the way.
As soon as they entered the woods, they immediately exchanged their hands, and the sharp arrows whizzed, and some of the Serbs jumped off their horses and rushed over on foot, as if they wanted to win in melee combat!
Hand-to-hand combat is a disadvantage to most of the cavalry in Phoenix Fort, and the experience of fighting is not something that can be trained in a winter.
The crossbow team at the forefront were all veterans, who were not afraid of melee combat, but they knew their mission, so they had to use one crossbow arrow after another to greet the enemy and keep moving forward.
Xiahou Zhu and Huyan Leopard relied on their superb martial arts skills and took the lead in rushing into the depths of the woods with weapons in hand, which made Gongzi Wei Xing frown and didn't say anything for the time being.
The cavalry behind the crossbow team, under the command of Meng Ping and Zhang Hua, all jumped off their horses, and in groups of four or five, they entered the woods and kept firing arrows!
Soon, the morale of the Serbs gathered again quickly collapsed, and Chief Sark looked at the leather armor and leather hat of Phoenix Castle, and hated their perverted defenses.
Looking at the fallen flowers and flowing water, fleeing in all directions, Chief Sark gritted his teeth and quietly touched the vicinity of Huyan Leopard;
Finding the right moment, he suddenly burst into flames and slashed at Huyan Leopard's back from mid-air.
Huyan Leopard, who was fighting to his heart's content, suddenly sensed that the back killing machine was approaching, and he didn't have time to turn around and attack, so he had to throw the tomahawk behind his back, and then took the opportunity to twist and retreat a few steps!
Slashing at the whirling battle axe, Chief Sark landed with ease and immediately charged towards the Huyan Leopard.
"Finally, a guy who is a little bit of a good look, first eat your grandfather Huyan's axe!"
When Huyan Leopard spoke, the plate axe in his left hand had already been handed to his right hand, and he rushed over excitedly!
Between the collision of the plate axe and the scimitar, brilliant sparks came out, and both of them were shocked back by each other a dozen paces;
In an instant, both of them were also unusually jealous of each other!
The remnants of the Western system of cultivation are very different from those of Middle-earth, but they are also extraordinary;
Chief Sak was able to become a chieftain under the Xiaowan Kingdom, which has his own special features.
Obviously, the personal strength of Chief Sak and Huyan Leopard is not much different, and he is also a master of fighting on the battlefield!
Soon, the two fought together, and it was difficult to solve!
Huyan Leopard has a certain advantage by virtue of the advantage of leather armor and leather hat, but the brute force of the Sack chief is very large, and he is slightly superior.
Two or three minutes later, Chief Sark quickly noticed that the situation around him was not right, and the cavalry of Phoenix Fort gradually surrounded him;
After a hard encounter with Huyan Leopard, he took advantage of the situation to turn over two tendons in the air in a row, and then wanted to flee into the distance after landing on the ground.
"Thief, don't go, Grandpa Huyan hasn't been completely entertained yet." Huyan Leopard chased and shouted behind him.
Suddenly, a javelin pierced the air and shot at Chief Sark's side as he ran.
Chief Sark then stood firm, slashed off his javelin, and ran fast again.
At this time, Xiahou Zhu suddenly jumped down from under a big tree, and the long-handled glaive knife slashed at the back of Chief Sark.
This surprise attack gave Chief Sark, who was bent on escaping, a blow to him.
But Chief Sak, with the inspiration he had honed over the years, was able to avoid the vital parts, and suffered some minor injuries to his back.
"Xiahou, that's my prey!" Huyan Leopard shouted loudly from behind.
But Xiahou Zhu didn't think so, and pounced sideways, and fought with the Sark chieftain, wanting to entangle the other party and wait for the arrival of the others.
Chief Sark, who had suffered some minor injuries, soon found that the man he was fighting with was even more tricky and difficult than his previous opponent.
More than ten seconds later, Huyan Leopard had already rushed over and stood stupidly to the side to watch the battle.
A minute later, Xiahou Zhu found the gap and scolded angrily: "What are you doing stupidly, idiot!" ”
"But, we fight two against one, and we can't win!" Huyan Leopard said with some hesitation.
Xiahou Zhu only now found out that Huyan Leopard, who had been with him for more than ten years, was so old that he could not carve rotten wood, so angry that his anger rose, and he didn't know what to say to scold him for a while.
Taking advantage of the slight distraction of his opponent, Chief Sark took the opportunity to escape and flee deep into the woods.
"What are you doing in a daze, chasing it!" Xiahou Zhuqi's blood surged, and then he glared at Huyan Leopard, and suddenly turned around and chased after him.
At this time, Xiahou Zhu ran for more than 30 meters, but unexpectedly found that Chief Sark had a crossbow arrow in his chest, and he died very depressed, his eyes were hard open, and he couldn't look at it!
At this time, Gongzi Wei Xing walked out from behind a tree trunk with a crossbow in his hand, looked at Huyan Leopard, and said very solemnly: "Uncle Huyan, this is not a battle before the battle, nor is it a competition between the rivers and lakes, this is a war, and the war is ruthless and bloody; If this tricky Sai Seed escapes, and his non-stop bloody revenge near our Phoenix Fort, who can guard against his sneak attacks all day long! ”
"Imagine our warriors who died in battle, and then imagine our comrades who are still alive now, is it really appropriate for you to act like this?"
"The enemy who dies is the best enemy, and he will no longer hurt the people around us! In this process, the means are less important, the more important thing is the result! ”
After finishing speaking, Gongzi Wei Xing turned his head and left, Xiahou Zhu patted Huyan Leopard's shoulder heavily, did not make a sound, and then walked away;
In the second incense stick, only the stunned Huyan Leopard and the cold corpse were left in place.
Gongzi Wei Xing's words had a great impact on Huyan Leopard, who has always been very moral, and made his thinking tangled!
、、、、、、
"Childe, in the impact of the charge, twenty-eight of our Phoenix Fort suffered an accident, and in the process of fierce fighting in the woods, more than a dozen recruits were slightly injured!" Wei Zhong reported calmly.
"Twenty-eight more comrades-in-arms have left us!" Gongzi Wei Xing sighed, raised his head and closed his eyes.
Zhang Hua, who was beside him, comforted softly: "Son, don't be sad, war needs bloodshed, it's inevitable; Besides, in the two charges, we only sacrificed more than 20 soldiers, which is already a very good record compared to other forces! ”
Gongzi Wei Xing knew that this was already a good record, but his mood was still a little low.
After a while, seeing that it was already dark, Gongzi ordered: "Camp on the spot and bury all the corpses!" Our warriors are separated from them so that they may have a chance to pay their respects later! ”
"Childe, Childe, but it's hard for us to tell the difference, the corpses have been trampled by war horses!" Wei Zhong was embarrassed.
"Either way, try to put it together, that's the only thing we can do for them." Gongzi Wei Xing explained in a low voice.
Wei Zhong gritted his teeth and went down immediately.
"Wei Cheng, pay more attention to the situation in the middle of the night, don't be attacked by those scattered Sai people who fled away, we must not make such an inferior mistake!"
Before Wei Cheng could respond, Zhang Hua on the side quipped: "Childe, you are too filtered, and night blindness among the Cypriots should also be common!" On such a cold night, they will not be frozen to death, but will also be eaten by jackals, tigers and leopards. ”
Gongzi Wei Xing touched his nose in embarrassment, because he felt that he was a little more worried, such a late night, without proper preparation, it was difficult to get through.
"The more than 200 escaped Sai cavalry is no longer a problem, but we can't stay here for a long time, our old nest only has more than 100 regular cavalry, separated by more than 300 miles, how can it be unreliable!" Zhang Hua reminded.
"Uncle Hua said a lot, who knows what happened during the time we came out? Tomorrow morning the war will be cleaned up, and the camp will be returned at noon! Gongzi Wei Xing nodded.
At this time, Wei Zhong suddenly hurriedly ran over and said, "Childe, it's not good, there is a lot of movement in the woods!" ”
"What, are the Serbs who fled back again?" Gongzi Wei Xing frowned and asked.
"I don't know, it's dark, I can't see clearly by the torch! It shouldn't be those Cypriots, they don't have the guts to kill again, but the brothers are a little uneasy! Wei Zhong said.
"What's uneasy, are there still demons, ghosts, cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the woods?"
In fact, they were a little afraid that the woods were full of ghosts, and people in this era were very superstitious about ghosts and gods.
"Let's go, let's hurry over!" Gongzi Wei Xing was also full of curiosity, and took the lead in trotting over, never forgetting to carry weapons.
