Chapter 279: Destroying the Former Army
"Report! My lord, out of the forest road ahead, it is the passage to Gaoling County! The two rivers meet, the terrain is flat and broad, and there is a big road leading to Gaoling County. ”
When Zhang Niu heard the return of the scout, his heart was relieved, and he finally got out of this narrow road in the mountains and forests. "Give the order to go down, hasten forward, and at once go out of the valley, and assemble in the open place ahead. Zhan continued to send someone to report the situation here to General Zuo. Zhang Niu turned sideways and said to the heralds and generals beside him.
Suddenly, the former sergeant sped towards the outside of the valley, and the sergeant did not have the cautious precautions he had taken before.
The land of Lixu passed in a blink of an eye, and the mountains that were originally on both sides were uneven, but at this moment, the eyes suddenly became empty. What unfolded in front of the eyes of the former sergeant of the Black Snake Army was like a trumpet, and the narrow road that was no more than fifty meters wide suddenly opened up and turned into an empty field. A large river runs from northwest to southeast, and the fence is in the wilderness more than 300 meters away.
Seeing that the stone bridge in the distance was still there, Zhang Niu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but thinking of the disappearance of the people of Zilin Town, Zhang Niu's heart still had a shadow that could not be erased.
On the mountains on both sides of the valley mouth, Xin Ming, who was nested in the withered grass, watched the Black Snake Army below not go up to the sides to investigate, but instead rushed to the exit together, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Xin Ming's first battalion soldiers were gathered on both sides of the mountain range near the exit, and if the Black Snake Army sent someone to investigate, there was a chance that they would find an abnormality. However, when Zhao Xun arranged it, he had already said that the Black Snake Army, which had found a way out, would definitely not focus on the barren ridges on both sides, but would focus on the exit. Of course, this is not absolute, if the opponent's general is a cautious person, there will be accidents. When the time comes, you can only kill it in advance. It's just that if you kill it in advance, you won't form an encirclement with the cavalry at the mouth of the river, and the cavalry won't play an effective role. Because once the Black Snake Army discovers that there is an ambush, it will definitely not go out of the valley and may retreat, so that the cavalry will not play the effect of charging. The most terrifying thing is naturally that the opponent attacks with fire. Once the fire broke out, the soldiers on both sides would be in a desperate situation.
What reassured Xin Ming was that after the Black Snake Army found the exit, it marched quickly and passed in front of his eyes. Now, the thousand Black Snake Army basically rushed in front of him, leaving only his back. Coupled with the fact that the Black Snake Army, which has been running wild for several hours, is it already exhausted, will there be some details to pay attention to?
"Everyone! Preparation! Xin Ming shouted sharply, and at the same time the herald waved the small red flag.
"My lord! You see what that is? The soldiers beside Zhang Niu pointed to the mountains on both sides behind him and said in a panic.
"Not good! It's the Shunzhou Army! Zhang Niu's face turned pale and colorless for a moment.
"Put!" Xin Ming shouted sharply.
Half of the soldiers of the first battalion of the Tiger Capital were archers, and they stood up sharply, pulled the bowstring with force, and the arrows pointed diagonally at the sky above the heads of the Black Snake Army clustered together, and then let go fiercely.
"Whoosh!"
Dense arrows swept across the pale blue sky, constantly spilling down on the ranks of the Black Snake Army, and large swaths of the front army of the Black Snake Army without shields fell. Due to the eagerness to exit, the ranks of the Black Snake Army were too dense to dodge the attack of the arrowheads, and where the arrows fell, at least two hundred Black Snake troops fell to the ground.
At the same time, the remaining half of the battalion of soldiers rushed down from the valley, all of them holding their shields, and quickly pressed towards the panicked Black Snake Army. At the same time frantically shouting slogans, moving forward.
"Damn! How did it end up here? Shunzhou Military ...... I underestimated them and was careless! Zhang Niu's eyes were red, shocked and angry.
"Whoosh!"
Xin Mingcai didn't pay attention to the other party's thoughts, and commanded the archers to shoot five rounds of volleys in a row, shooting down more than 500 Black Snake Army, and the rest of the Black Snake Army was also forced by archers and sword and shield soldiers to retreat towards the valley mouth.
Looking at the area of battle behind him, Zhang Niu almost wanted to vomit blood. Except for their own archers, who fought back and caused dozens of casualties to the other side, the rest were all the corpses of the Black Snake Army. The Black Snake Army that was shot to death was piled up on the ground layer by layer, and the wounded groaned in pain in a pool of blood, and then the arrows of the Shunzhou Army continued to fall, completely covering these wounded.
"Accelerate! Let's get out of the valley and go outside to meet! Fast! Our soldiers, the Black Snake Army, will not be afraid of the bastards of the Shunzhou Army, who are defeated by this men. Zhang Niu shouted angrily.
The remaining half of the Black Snake Army panicked, and with Zhang Niu's command, they gradually stabilized and ran towards the valley mouth, as long as they reached an open place, they were not afraid of the Shunzhou army escorted along the mountain. Besides, there are still 3,000 troops behind. Thinking of this, the soldiers of the Black Snake Army made up their minds.
"Stop, sword and shield soldiers, keep pressing, press them out of the valley, and stop them out of the valley for me. Archers, retreat as planned! Xin Ming looked at the Black Snake Army in the distance, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said loudly.
"Assemble! Defensive formations! The remnants of the Black Snake Army opened the open space at the mouth of the river, and the officers at all levels immediately shouted bitterly.
"Knock...... Boom...... Boom......" A rumbling sound sounded at this moment. Zhang Niu turned sideways and looked to the east, his eyes narrowed into a thin line. Finally, something made a noise appeared in my sight.
"Cavalry! How so? When did the Shunzhou Army have such a good fighter and strategist? Zhang Niu's eyes were dead for a while. Seeing the momentum of the other party, although there were only three hundred cavalry, Zhang Niu knew that among the cavalry of the rear army, even five hundred cavalry were by no means the opponent's opponent. He knew that the raid on Gaoling County had completely failed.
"Kill! Don't be afraid, it's just 300 cavalry, how can this group of soft eggs in the Shunzhou army be our opponent. Qu Changlin Mu said loudly.
"Woo ......" A black light flew from three hundred meters away, and with a thud, it sank into Lin Mu's chest.
The sudden change surprised Zhang Niu, an arrow three hundred meters away could actually shoot a person. Zhang Niu saw with his own eyes that the white-robed general at the front of the Shunzhou Army slowly lowered the bow in his hand.
"Those who descend will not be killed!" The cavalry shouted loudly and slaughtered the Black Snake Army. This cavalry is naturally the soldiers of Zhao Xun and his subordinates' personal guard battalion.
Although he was afraid of the other party's strategy, Zhang Niu was not a brave person, picked up the long knife, and shouted: "The whole army has it, kill me!" General Zuo is back to support us! ”
Zhao Xun sneered, but he was not ambiguous, and the big gun in his hand turned around, and shouted: "Kill or kill!" Zhao Xun held a spear in his hand, rode his horse and galloped wildly, and the cavalry of the three hundred personal guard battalions followed closely behind him, and the small cavalry formation seemed to be from the dark waves of hell, wrapped in the power of crushing a qiē, like the sky and the earth cracking, like a storm crashing on the shore, and swept towards the remnants of the Black Snake Army in front.
The earth under his feet receded like a tide, and there seemed to be only the roar of thousands of healthy horses knocking on the earth at the same time, and the whole world was trembling and trembling. Fierce pride burned in Zhao Xun's chest, burning his eyes.
Zhang Niu's face was as dead as ashes, and now he understood what the three hundred cavalry in front of him were like. Their majesty can no longer be described in words, they are like hellish death. In fact, Zhang Niu wanted his subordinates to surrender, but he was stubborn, so he decided to fight hard, and if he was defeated, he would surrender again. However, this will make him completely lose the confidence to resist, but at this moment, it is too late to surrender.
"Kill!"
Zhao Xun roared, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon going out to sea, slashing past several black snake soldiers who were blocking the horse, and at the same time, he flicked his horse's head and drove diagonally to the side of the riding formation.
"Kill ......"
The warriors of the three hundred guards battalion responded violently, the sound was like thunder, hundreds of iron hooves stirred up the loess in the sky, like a rolling iron stream instantly crossed the fallen corpse, and continued to sprint forward, the front row of cavalry pressed down the spears that pointed straight into the void, and hundreds of sharp spears pierced the cold wind, forming a suffocating forest of death. The cavalry behind raised their thickened swords above the top, and the sharp cold glow made the gray sky fade.
As soon as the soldiers at the front died, the military formation of the Black Snake Army began to stir, and the soldiers standing in the front row began to look around in horror, and the timid ones had begun to retreat, and the officers ran back and forth in front of the formation, shouting and scolding, trying to control the decline, but his efforts were in vain, more people began to retreat, and the soldiers who could stay in place were becoming fewer and fewer.
The iron cavalry of the personal guard battalion pierced into the remnants of the Black Snake Army's rout like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, and the sharp spears pierced the body of the Black Snake Army like a straw, and the bloody slaughter began!
In the open field, the infantry army was no match for the cavalry, and with the archers without the city structure and the shields for defense, the morale fell to a low point. At the beginning of the battle, it seems that the ending has been predetermined.
"Uhh......h
A long scream suddenly sounded beside Zhang Niu, and it was so close at hand. Zhang Niu looked sideways, and his eyes suddenly turned red.
"Zhang Han!" Zhang Niu shouted bitterly. Zhang Han is his brother, but his brother was killed by a knight just now. Zhang Niu regretted it, he knew that this was the case, and he should have surrendered directly. The Black Snake Army can't look down on itself, so why should they fight to the death for the Black Snake Army? Face kills! But now, his own brother died at the hands of the other party and surrendered? Obviously, it's no longer possible.
"I'm going to kill you......" Zhang Niu burst out, but before he could finish speaking, a cold light had already shone on his neck and cut through his neck.
"Ah......h
Zhang Niu let out a wolf howl and swung his knife to block it. The two knives collided together without any tricks, and in the violent sound of gold and iron, Zhang Niu opened his mouth and spewed out a stream of blood arrows, and his bulky body had already floated up like a kite, tumbling in the air and falling backwards. Zhang Niu felt that his entire chest cavity had been squeezed into a thin layer, and it was difficult to breathe.
It's such a strong force, even if you try your best, you still can't block a knife? How did the cavalry of the Shunzhou Army come out?
The cavalry of the personal guard battalion knocked Zhang Niu and his people with knives with a knife, and the healthy horse under the crotch immediately stood up, raised his head and let out a long hiss, kicked his two front hooves in the air twice, and then trampled down fiercely according to the face of the horse. Zhao Xun's soul is all gone, if he is trampled on this time, he is afraid that his head will be shattered like a watermelon.
Zhang Niu rolled sideways to avoid this fatal step, but before he could get up, he heard a sharp roar in the back of his head, Zhang Niu's liver and gall were broken, and his arms struggled to support the ground, and the whole person slid forward like a big lizard, and in the process of sliding forward, he felt a cold crotch, and when he looked back, he saw that the war knife of the Shunzhou army cavalry could split his crotch, and only a little bit of his two eggs had to be separated forever.
However, Zhang Niu's good fortune only stopped there, the sliding forward just now had exhausted all his energy, and now his hands and legs were heavier than the lead, and it was difficult to move a bit.
The cavalry cavalry of the Guards Battalion seemed to see the predicament of Ma Yue, and rode his horse over unhurriedly, and the horse chopping knife in his hand was raised high again......
Zhang Niu sighed in his heart, is he going to die? It's really unwilling. Brother, big brother is here to accompany you!
There was a crisp sound of "poof......", and Zhang Niu's eyes were dark......
