Chapter 591: The Warrior Who Went to the Death
Kira followed the side of the Sbogully, and saw the Tariq warriors under the mountain using shields as a wall to kill the mountain, and clenched his fists, and saw his father's grim expression, and the corners of his mouth were even twitching, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and said urgently: "Father, they are about to come up, and I ordered them to be stoned to death." ”
The two stone walls were made of stones, some large and some small, and at this time, the Gulaqin warriors had no place to start with their bows and arrows, and if they fell with stones, the Tariq warriors would inevitably suffer casualties, and Kira himself had already seen this, but he did not know why the Gully did not give the order.
"Father......!" Seeing that Sbogully seemed to be hesitating, Kira couldn't help but urge again.
That Sbogully looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "What do you know. If there was only this team of soldiers and horses, they could naturally be stoned to death, but ......! He raised his arm, and pointed his blade at the black cavalry army of Mahazang in the distance, "This is just their small vanguard, if they are stoned at them, they will lose something, but our first stone wall will be demolished by ourselves, we are not only facing this small group of enemies, Maha Vajra still has thousands of people, behind him, Mahara's tens of thousands of troops are advancing, and there are ...... of people and horses of the Jura tribe!" "If the first stone wall is destroyed at this time, we won't last long." ”
That Popguli knew that the possibility of winning this war was very small, but as long as he could withstand the attack of the Mahara army, the longer the support lasted, the greater the casualties caused to the other side, and it was possible to turn the tide of the war, and the king of Xiliang could order to stop this cruel civil war.
Now that the enemy's main army had not yet arrived, and the vanguard army had sent a few thousand men to attack the hill, it was about to destroy a barrier, and Sboguli really could not make up his mind.
In my heart, if you drop a stone down, you may really be able to resist the opponent's shield soldiers and continue to attack the mountain, but if the first line of defense is easily destroyed, how will you resist the Mahara's army like a tide?
He was hesitating, and the companions who witnessed the situation on both sides of the mountain were also anxious, Maha Vajra did not divide his troops to attack the three mountains, but stared at the Eagle Head Peak in the middle, and his goal seemed to be to gather troops to take down the Eagle Head Peak first, and the first formation was repelled by the defenders of the Eagle Head Peak, so that the morale of the Gulaqin generals on both sides was slightly shocked, but at this moment, the shield soldiers came out of the battle, and both sides had already seen that the situation was not right.
Zhuo Yanlun of the Right Wing Peak was also anxious, once the Eagle Head Peak was broken in less than a day, the morale of the warriors of the various tribes of Gulaqin would be fatal.
"The eldest prince, shall we issue a flag to rescue the Eagle Head Peak?" Zhuo Yanlun respectfully asked Mahazang for instructions: "Mahavajra has dispatched shield soldiers, and Patriarch Nashi may not be able to stop it." ”
Mahazang's expression was grim, his eyes were staring at the battle situation on the side of Eagle Head Peak, but he slowly shook his head.
Zhuo Yanlun saw that Mahazang did not send troops to rescue, so he was even more anxious, and said again: "Great Prince, once the Eagle Head Peak of the Patriarch of Nashi is lost!" , our morale will inevitably be hit hard, and the consequences will be unimaginable. The combined strength of our three peaks is not inferior to Maha Vajra, and we can fight to the death! ”
"It's easy to fight to the death, but we don't fight to the death, but to live." Mahazang said in a deep voice: "Although our strength surpasses that of Maha Vajra, we are by no means the opponent of Maha Vajra. The three peaks are mixed with the men and horses of dozens of tribes of Gulaqin, once they fall into a melee, the tacit understanding of battle is definitely not comparable to the men and horses of Maha Vajra......! He pointed to the Maha Vajra army, "You see, Maha Vajra only sent half of his troops to attack the Eagle Head Peak, and he still has most of his troops ready to fight, as long as we go down the mountain to rescue, his cavalry will scatter and attack on both wings, can we really resist it?" ”
Zhuo Yanlun knew that what Mahazang said was true, Gulaqin was on the mountain, condescending or able to stalemate with Mahavajra, as long as he went down the mountain, he would definitely not be an opponent.
"Look, Prince!" Chu Huan, who was silent next to him, suddenly said: "The situation has changed!" ”
Things have changed.
That Sbogully did not dare to give the order to dismantle the stone wall, and the Tariq shield soldiers gradually approached the mountainside, only two meters away from the first stone wall, at this moment, he saw that from behind the stone wall, a burly Gulaqin warrior Huo Ran stood up, jumped on the stone wall like a giant ape, roared, roared, and treated his body as a stone, and flew towards the approaching shield soldiers.
He was like an enraged tiger, his thick and huge body "boom", and smashed heavily on the enemy's shield, this person's body was more than two hundred pounds, coupled with the power of condescending pounces, how fierce the force was, the shield warrior was strong, but he couldn't withstand such a heavy impact, the stone wall was steep and difficult to walk, after this collision, the shield bearer could not support it, the oncoming force made his body uncontrollably turned backwards, and even his companions behind him fell from above.
The two of them rolled down, and hit the shield behind them, the two columns of shield soldiers in order to protect each other's arrows, close together, the shield fit seamlessly, it did play a role in making the Gulaqin warriors have no way to start, but at this time it became a disadvantage, the companions above rolled down, and the shield soldiers below could not dodge at all, and were hit by their own companions, and immediately several people rolled down from the mountain, driving the companions on both sides to be unstable.
Although the Tariq warrior reacted quickly and had already slashed the Gulaqin warrior who flew over, the bloody blow of this Gulaqin warrior actually knocked a gap in the impregnable shield array.
Soon, with a roar, from behind the stone wall, there were many fierce Gulaqin warriors, all of whom jumped on the stone wall without exception, and then, like a fierce hungry wolf on the grassland, jumped down from the air without hesitation, and crashed into the shield, and in a moment, the Tarik shield soldiers were knocked open in dozens of places, and the Tarik warriors rolled down the mountain involuntarily.
Seeing this, Dadu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot again, at this moment the Gulaqin archers had also found an opportunity, taking advantage of the chaos of the shield array being impacted, the arrows rained down, and the sharp arrow rain suddenly made the scattered shield soldiers unable to move forward, those soldiers who bravely jumped down from the stone wall were already saving the heart of death, some were killed by the Tarik warrior scimitar in an instant, and some were holding the Tarik warrior and rolling down the mountain.
This mountain wall is rugged, there are many gravels, as long as you roll down, there is a ** that is not alive, for a time the screams came and went, some shield soldiers had to rush forward, the spearmen behind the stone wall had already raised their spears to stab, the archers above were like rain, the shield array was broken, and the losses were heavy, Dadu was so anxious that he stomped his feet at the foot of the mountain, and this time the casualties were even more serious than the first battle.
In the first array, most of the soldiers were only killed by the opponent's bow and arrows, but this time it was because the formation was too crowded and dense, one person was knocked over, and several people were usually involved, although the hundreds of Gulaqin warriors who bravely jumped out of the stone wall did not survive in the end, but one of their lives can often be exchanged for the lives of several Tariq warriors, and the two thousand Tariq warriors in the shield array have long been in chaos, and nearly half of them have been killed and wounded.
Maha Vajra originally thought that this array would be able to attack the mountain with the shield array, who knew that not only did it not attack the mountain, but even the first stone wall was not destroyed, but his side had already suffered serious losses, seeing that the shield array was already in chaos, the screams came clearly, the muscles on Maha Vajra's face twitched, and a general next to him had already persuaded: "King, the last general begs to let the warriors retreat first, and if it goes on like this, there will be heavy casualties." ”
Maha Vajra had no choice but to order the troops to retreat, two formations in a row, adding up to more than a thousand tarik soldiers killed and wounded, but they did not even break through a barrier on Eagle Head Mountain.
It's not that the Tariq warriors are incompetent, it's really because the war of the steppe rarely sees such a defensive formation, even if there is defense, it is also a formation on the plain to attack and defend, this time the Gulaqin people unexpectedly took the Black Mountain as a barrier, and built a defensive stone wall, talking about the plain cavalry to rush and kill, in the universe, I am afraid it is difficult to defeat the Tariq cavalry, but now they have to give up the war horse and become an infantry to attack the mountain, this kind of combat skill is really not what the Tariq cavalry is good at, Moreover, the will to resist of the Gulariq warriors was also unexpectedly firm, and the Gulachin pariahs of the Maha Vajra Eyes showed a fearless spirit of daunting death, which also caused the elite Tariq warriors to make no progress in two consecutive attacks.
Dadu led the troops to retreat, and came over to ask Maha Vajra for guilt, all the battles just now, Maha Vajra also saw clearly, he sent Dadu to take the lead, because Dadu was his own people, so he wanted to give Dadu the opportunity to make contributions, if he reprimanded at this time, it would hurt Dadu's prestige in the hearts of everyone, and he did not blame.
Although Maha Vajra does not have the general talent of an outstanding general, but he is not a wine bag and rice bag, he has lost two battles in a row, he also knows that his morale has suffered a great setback, at this time, if he blames his generals again, it will further depress the morale, and if he continues to attack like this, I am afraid that he will not make much progress.
Summoning his generals, Maha Vajra sat cross-legged on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The little prince's men and horses should arrive before tomorrow night, since this king said that he would take Montenegro before the arrival of the little prince, then he must not break his promise." But there is still time, there is no need to worry, although we have lost men and horses, the cheap slaves on Eagle Head Peak have also suffered a lot of losses. He said to everyone: "Such a strong attack, the losses are too heavy, do you have any good way to take the Eagle Head Peak?" ”
"Great King, the Gulaqin slaves have prepared in advance, and they have prepared a large number of bows and arrows, just to prevent us from attacking Montenegro with bows and arrows." Da Du was unwilling: "The last general thinks that when attacking during the day, their goal is clear, and the cost of casualties when our army attacks is too great, it is better to wait until after dark, and then we will attack Montenegro." That will be the time to reduce our casualties! ”
"What Commander Dadu said is true." A general nodded in agreement: "The last general still thinks that attacking at night will be greatly beneficial to our army, and the last general has also thought of a good way, maybe he can break through the Eagle Head Peak in one fell swoop!" ”
Maha Vajra was overjoyed and asked, "What way?" ”
"King, today we attacked two formations in a row, although the losses were not light, but they were not without gains." The general said softly: "Those cheap slaves must think that our main attack direction is on this side at this time, and after dark, we are still here to prepare for an attack with great fanfare, and secretly send a team of men and horses to quietly go around the back of the eagle's head peak, with the guess of the last general, their heavy troops must be arranged on this side, and the back is bound to be empty, and when the time comes, they will attack head-on, attract their attention, and the people and horses behind them will quietly touch the mountain, as long as the people and horses attack all the way, the Gulaqin slaves will definitely be in chaos, When the time comes, our army will attack with all its might, and we will definitely be able to take the Eagle Head Peak! ”
Maha Vajra touched his curly beard and said with a smile: "Nudoji, you really didn't disappoint this king, just follow this method, send orders to the whole army, work hard all the way, rest in place, and let the cheap slaves of Gulaqin live for a while." He commanded: "Nudoji, after dark, you lead a team of men and horses around the Black Mountain and move behind the Eagle Head Peak, I will wait for you to reach that side, and then attack from the front, as long as you hear about the battle on this side, you can lead the warriors to quietly approach the Eagle Head Peak and sneak up from behind." ”
At this moment, a team of scouts galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and said, "King, I just got the news that 12,000 people of the Jura tribe will be able to arrive in Montenegro in the early hours of tomorrow morning!" ”
When Maha Vajra heard the report, he didn't have much joy, but said lightly: "They are really not slow to come, but by the time they arrive tomorrow morning, Mahazang will probably already be a prisoner of our subordinates!" ”
On this day, the men and horses of Maha Vajra did not attack again, and the Gulaqin warriors on the Eagle Head Mountain also got a rare respite, after the counting, although the two consecutive formations have killed and injured more than 1,000 enemies, but the Gulaqin warriors also killed and wounded more than 400 people, except for those brave warriors who went to the death, more were injured by the enemy's arrows.
After dark, the soldiers and horses on the mountain did not light torches, and it was dark between heaven and earth, although there was still a moon tonight, but the moonlight was very dim.
Nudoji had already dispatched 1,500 cavalry, taking advantage of the dark night, secretly left from the vanguard corps, in order not to let the Gulaqin people find out, this cavalry team did not let the horses gallop, at first only slowly and slowly, according to the previously determined line, from the right side around the right wing peak, a big detour to the back of the eagle's head peak, wait until the main front force to attack, and then from the rear sneak attack.
