Chapter 35: The Battle of the Rye (Part II)

At the head of the Red Dragon Fortress, the legion commander Zheng Xiong was slightly surprised when he saw the people on both sides entangled with each other. The Red Dragon Fortress www.biquge.info is dangerous, and there are 20,000 elite soldiers stationed there, and if the other party wants to take it completely, it must at least three times its own troops, so in the usual raids and disturbances during the wheat harvest season, the number of enemy soldiers is twice as many as now, and with the cooperation of siege equipment, only one division is sent today, which is obviously a little strange.

However, there are no other changes in the other party now, and Zheng Xiong can only wait and see what happens.

"Your Excellency!" The adjutant suddenly reminded him loudly.

"What's the hurry!" Zheng Xiong stared at the battlefield and did not look back.

"In the wheat fields behind the fortress found the Assyrians, coming down from the eastern hills!" The adjutant said in a deep voice.

"Oh? How many people can you see? Zheng Xiong's face turned cold.

"At least a thousand people at the moment! Zheng Kui has already sent someone to ask for help! ”

"Let He Jun bring two thousand people over, and be sure to strangle them all!"

"Yes!" The adjutant had to be ordered to go.

The adjutant had to give the order to leave, and Zheng Xiong turned his head to a middle-aged general beside him and said:

"Ji Mingxin!"

"The last general!"

"The garrison fort in the east should have fallen, you take two brigades to recapture it for me, and then leave one brigade to garrison!"

"Yes!"

"Zhang Liangzong!"

"The last general!"

"You take the third division down and defeat the opponent as soon as possible, remember to move quickly!"

"Yes!"

A series of orders were issued, Zheng Xiong's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face showed a trace of solemnity.

"Helian Beifeng, you have good intentions!"

……

Jiang Du's plan still failed, because the enemy troops on the mountain peak also knew that the plan was not going well, and the speed of the descent was much faster, the number of slings on the mountain wall had increased to more than 100, and the number of enemies who had slid down had increased to more than three or four thousand.

The brigade commander named Zheng Kui, seeing that the situation was not good, could only lead his people to retreat while fighting, and re-arrayed on the edge of the field to resist the enemy.

"Rabbit cubs, cheer up Lao Tzu. Reinforcements are coming soon! ”

"Their purpose is to burn grain for fire, and they can't be sent into the wheat fields!"

Zheng Kui was covered in blood, and while roaring, he waved the scimitar in his hand and kept slashing at the enemy on the opposite side. His long sword had long been cut by the Assyrian scimitar, and he simply picked up a scimitar from the ground, although he was not used to using it, but it was strong and durable.

In addition to the experience of veterans, those new soldiers also played a great role, especially the king of soldiers, who simply sent down the gods, and under his "sword", at least hundreds of Assyrians died. Now it was the king of soldiers who led a group of new soldiers to the front, and the other soldiers then killed the enemy, which was able to withstand the opponent's attack.

Despite this, the crowd suffered heavy losses, and more than half of the recruits were killed or wounded, but fortunately, the rest of the people did not have a nervous breakdown, but became resolute and ruthless.

These recruits are really a seed! After a few days together, Zheng Kui knew that most of these recruits were the children of fishermen from the southwest coast.

At this moment, a group of the few Assyrian soldiers suddenly separated from the ranks, directly bypassed the interception of Beiyan, and rushed towards the wheat field behind them.

Not good! Zheng Kui was anxious when he saw this, and shouted: "Wang Qi, stop them quickly!" ”

Wang Qi was a commander under Zheng Kui, who had left behind in the field with 200 people, and had also rushed over to support. Zheng Kui used to joke about Wang Qi's name, "If he gives birth to a baby in the future, he will be called Wang Ba!" Then, Wang Qi would glare at himself, because Wang Qi was only 19 years old and the youngest child in the family, if he was really called Wang Ba, it would become a joke in the village.

Zheng Kui called twice, but Wang Qi didn't respond, he fell in a pool of blood with a knife in his waist and abdomen, and he had been out of breath for a long time.

"Ginger, ginger! Bring someone to stop them! There was no time to be sad, Zheng Kui shouted loudly again.

"Seventh and eighth battalions follow me!" When Jiang Du heard the order, he shouted loudly, and the only remaining 100 recruits in the seventh and eighth battalions hurriedly retreated with him, and chased after the group of Assyrian soldiers.

Jiang Du ran at the front, he didn't have any other thoughts in his heart now, he just wanted to quickly repel these Assyrians, end this battle, and then feast on it.

I'm so hungry! He took a big stride and ran like flying, followed by the tall and thin Zhang Tiaoyue, Shen Ying, and Xiao Hei...... One can't help but be reminded of the scene of tests in the army.

Seeing Jiang Dao and others chasing after them, a hundred Assyrian soldiers rushed desperately towards the fields, but fortunately, after five days of harvesting, a large area of open space had been cleared on the periphery, so they were still some distance away from the wheat fields.

Bang Dang!

Suddenly, the south gate of the Red Dragon Fortress slowly opened, and a group of cavalry rushed out of the fortress like the wind, heading straight for the enemy troops below the mountain wall.

There was a brief commotion among the enemy troops, and the morale of the Beiyan side was high.

"Reinforcements are coming! Kill these **** ones! ”

"Kill!"

He Jun was a seventh-level division commander, and as soon as he left the fortress with two thousand light horsemen, he saw two armies fighting each other in the distance, and his own side was obviously at a disadvantage. On the other side, there are two groups of people chasing each other.

Hey? Those boys are pretty fast!

"Xiao Fang! You bring someone to help those boys. The others follow me to the mountain wall! ”

Ha! After that, he grabbed the horse's belly and took the lead in leaving......

Jiang Du ran forward, and suddenly found a team of cavalry coming from the side, and his heart suddenly relaxed. Light cavalry against light (infantry) soldiers, the opponent has only one dead end.

When the hundred Assyrian soldiers saw this, they divided fifty of them and went straight to the cavalry, while the others continued to run forward.

Jiang Du ran and watched, only to see the fifty Assyrians untie a section of sliding rope from their bodies, and in groups of four, each holding two ends, dragged towards the galloping cavalry.

Tripping?!

Worst! Those cavalry are dangerous!

"Jump, you keep chasing, I'll go back!" Jiang Du said to Zhang Tiaoyue and the others behind him, and then turned around and rushed towards the fifty soldiers.

The force under his feet, as fast as a galloping horse, a distance of forty or fifty meters, arrived in the blink of an eye, and several Assyrians who were dragging behind suddenly felt a strong wind rushing on their sides, and before they could react, they were knocked down by Jiang Du with a few punches.

Jiang Du saw that the rope on the ground was about more than four meters long, the thickness of the duck egg, extremely strong, and there were clear threads on it, so he didn't know what it was for, so he picked it up casually, but found that it was quite heavy. He thought for a moment, folded the rope in half, twisted it into a strand, held it with both hands, and then carefully chased after it.

The Assyrian soldiers, running ahead, were engrossed in the rapidly approaching galloping horses, oblivious to a sneaky fellow following behind them.

Xiao Fang saw the oncoming Assyrians in strange postures, and he clenched his spear and prepared to pierce the throats of these Assyrians, ignoring the long ropes that were dragging on the ground.

But the next moment, he jerked the reins tightly, and showed a look of disbelief. (To be continued.) )
