In front of the Red Dragon Fortress, the heavy infantry vigorously raised the shields and spears in their hands, bravely resisting the enemy in front of them, the phalanx was surrounded by surging human heads, the tide of shouts and killing resounded throughout the earth, the flesh and sweat of both sides were stirred together, each could hear heavy breathing, no one knew if they could survive this battle.

Under the attack of the Assyrians, Beiyan suffered heavy losses, the corpses of people and war horses were piled up on the ground, blood was flowing, Tang Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the soldiers who kept falling off their horses, and the officers who kept roaring to maintain the formation, his eyes were a little cold.

The intensity of the opponent's attack this time was not as childish as before, and the dense defense of the first division was already showing signs of collapse under their charge. His gaze crossed over the battlering crowd to the enemy banner several miles ahead, a cruel smile on his lips.

"Send a signal for the heavy cavalry to get ready to attack!" He waved to the flag bearer behind him. After confronting Assyria for many years, Tang Lan knew that the other party's commander was skilled in military skills, and would never do such a thankless thing as he was doing, so he didn't dare to take it lightly, and decided to send heavy armored cavalry to fight quickly.

"Order!" The flag bearer responded loudly, and then a red flame flew through the sky.

The appearance of the red flame greatly boosted the morale of the Beiyan side, and the phalanx regained its stability, and after a while, there was a roar like thunder in the fortress, and the earth began to tremble, and then, a team of knights with men and horses covered in iron armor appeared in the sight of the warring parties.

Black armor, red cloak, three-meter spear, like a raging iron stream!

A hint of panic began to appear in the eyes of the Assyrian soldiers, but the constant sound of war drums behind them reminded them of the fate of those who retreated.

A thousand heavily armored knights did not stop after rushing out of the fortress, they moved unhurriedly to the two flanks in a team of 100 people, and only began to launch a fierce charge until a hundred meters in front of the formation.

Thundered! Heavy drums sounded in the iron stream, with the excited roar of war horses, and the thick spears were like huge sharp fangs!

The Assyrian cavalry understood the intentions of these heavy cavalry, but they did not seem to have a better choice, once the heavy cavalry broke through the two flanks and completed the assembly behind the Assyrians, it was tantamount to a nightmare for the 2,000 light soldiers who were storming the Northern Yan phalanx, and basically announced the early end of the battle.

Therefore, more than 100 Assyrian clouds rode forward, and did not hesitate to meet the heavy armored cavalry who rushed over, trying to use their bodies to delay the huge impact of the other party, in this relatively small area in front of the fortress, they rode like the wind speed advantage could not be brought into play at all, and the damage of the scimitar in the hand to the heavy armor was extremely limited, and they could only rely on the flesh and blood of the war horse.

The Beiyan Empire's consistent strategic proposition is to use the terrain to launch an attack on the opponent and consume the opponent's vital forces, so that Beiyan can drag the opponent down with a huge number of reserve troops. As long as the fortresses are not breached, it will be difficult for Bei Yan to lose the strength to fight back, no matter how many opponents there are.

The iron flow came surgingly, and at once it drowned more than 100 Assyrian riders, these Assyrian cloud riders seemed to be swept by a huge wave, and fell off their horses with a plop, and the three-meter spear carried the severed arm and stump of the Assyrians, and continued to rush forward, and more than 100 Assyrian riders met them......

……

Jiang Du approached the west peak with more than a dozen recruits from the General Village, but the peak was so high and steep that he couldn't see anything unusual on it. Jiang Du put his ear to the mountain wall and listened attentively. On the east and west sides of the Red Dragon Fortress, there is a small garrison fort, in which a thousand light soldiers are stationed to guard the two wings of the fortress. If there is a fight from above, there will always be a sound coming down.

After listening to it for a long time, it was quiet and there was no sound. Jiang Du's face was puzzled, he thought for a while, and his expression suddenly changed:

"Oh no, it's over there!" With that, he ran to the eastern peak.

The recruits behind him didn't know why Jiang Du was like this, so they could only follow him closely.

The veterans in the field looked at the recruits who were facing a great enemy, and they all smiled disapprovingly. These recruits have really never seen a big scene, and the battle of thousands of people makes them restless and lose every inch, which is really a bit disappointing. And what did he ask the king of the soldiers, except for his strength, he didn't see any difference.

They grinned and talked about the performance of the recruits, not taking Zhang Yuming's words to heart at all. But it's no wonder that the veterans of the Red Dragon Fortress have been in front for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to ordinary battles, so it's not surprising to see a lot.

"There are enemies! There are enemies! Suddenly, a figure rushed from afar, and when he got closer, he saw that it was Xiao Hei who went to the eastern mountain peak with Zhang Tiaoyue to investigate, his face was pale at this time, and he ran out of breath:

"There are a lot of enemy soldiers on the mountain, hurry, go and save Jiang Du and Xiaoyue!"

"What? You make it clear! A veteran brigade commander walked quickly in front of Xiao Hei, grabbed his shoulder and asked loudly, Xiao Hei was so angry that he just wanted to scold his mother:

Why don't you ask anything, go and save people first!

"Brothers, come with me!" Shen Ying lifted the spear in his hand, and rushed to the hill on the east side, asking the recruits to follow him.

When the brigade commander saw Xiao Hei's appearance, he knew that he couldn't ask anything, and said urgently: "Zhang Cheng, you ride back to the fortress to ask for help, and the rest of the people will form a formation!" ”

"Yes!" A thousand veterans responded with a bang, raised their weapons one after another, and formed a phalanx on the edge of the field.

"Zhao Chen will take two hundred people to stay behind, and the rest will follow me to meet the enemy!" The brigade commander drew the long sword at his waist and led the eight hundred veterans to run towards the east side of the mountain.

……

There are many enemy soldiers, and their martial arts are not weak, they use dozens of ropes to keep sliding down from the top of the mountain, when Jiang Du arrived, hundreds of people had gathered around the ropes, and they were besieging Zhang Tiaoyue and other recruits, seven or eight recruits fell to the ground, and the blood on their throats had not dried up.

Jiang Du's expression was awe-inspiring, first asked Xiao Hei to go back to report the news, and then pulled out the double cone pinned to his waist, rushed to Zhang Tiaoyue's side, and clanked a few times to stop the opponent's attack.

"Stand back!" There are only about 30 recruits in front of him, which is the opponent of these Assyrian elite soldiers, including Zhang Tiaoyue, everyone has been injured, and the situation is not optimistic. Only by waiting for help can there be any hope of survival.

Zhang Tiaoyue also knew that now was not the time to be reckless, so she hurriedly took a few steps back, and together with the other recruits, formed a defensive formation.

Jiang Du stood alone in front of the formation, facing five or six attacking enemy soldiers, the double cones flew up and down, like butterflies piercing flowers, dissolving the opponent's swift sword momentum one by one.

The sound of clanging continued to come, and Jiang Du's hand speed became faster and faster, and the two dark golden awls were like lightning-changing lightning in the bright sword light, continuously emitting a throbbing brilliance!

Burst! Burst! Burst! Several besieging Assyrian soldiers puffed out their eyes, covered their throats with their hands, and fell to the ground with unwilling faces.

Then, Jiang Du did not stop, the double cone crossed in front of him, his legs violently exerted, and he rushed towards the incoming enemies like arrows from the string.

Leave behind a group of petrified recruits on the spot! (To be continued.) )
