Chapter 408: The Immortal Army 2

readx; The distance of five miles is a very short distance for a large army, which can be crossed in the blink of an eye. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 The four of Cheng Chumo, who stood proudly at the mountain pass, looked at the surging 3,000 elephant male army, their faces were not red and their hearts were not beating, and they did not have the slightest timidity, as if in front of them, these 3,000 enemy troops were just a group of grass mustard!

When the Xiangxiong army was less than three hundred meters away from the mountain pass, Li Dejian raised his palm, his eyes were like torches, he took a sharp breath, and shouted loudly: "The cavalry is ready to resist the enemy!" ”

At the sound of an order, only the remaining five hundred Jade Dragon Guard heavy cavalry, riding their mounts, marched to the mountain pass in an orderly manner. Five hundred spears, raised at the same time, the sharp tips pointed directly at the enemy. The tip of the spear flashed with cold light, and the war horse under the crotch panted and rubbed the horse's hooves, while the jade dragon guard on the horse's back did not have the slightest wave in his eyes, which was an attitude of contempt for the enemy. Even if there were only five hundred of the original two thousand Jade Dragon Guards, they were still monstrous and unmatched.

Although Cheng Chumo couldn't wait to fight again, the first wave of defense still had to be taken care of by the cavalry. Cheng Chumo and the four of them walked around to the side of the cavalry very familiarly, and when the distance between the enemy and us was close enough, Li Dejian's raised palm waved down violently, and shouted: "Rush me!" ”

Attack is the most effective defense, and the five hundred Jade Dragon Guard heavy cavalry rushed towards the three thousand Xiangxiong cavalry without hesitation. In the next second, the two armies fought, and five hundred Jade Dragon Guard heavy cavalry stabbed into the enemy camp like a sharp knife, and when they were halfway in, they finally stopped their advance under the stubborn resistance of the enemy and fought with the enemy.

Because the cavalry of the Jade Dragon Guard are tightly glued together, even if the enemy army is numerous, it cannot be outnumbered and few, and can only continue to engage in a war of attrition with the Jade Dragon Guard on the periphery. And the Jade Dragon Guard has the advantage of equipment, plus it has experienced so many battles, and can defeat the enemy every time, it can be said that it has extremely rich combat experience, so it was a battle with three thousand Xiangxiong cavalry for a while.

A certain great god once said that quantity itself is quality. Although Zhangxiong's individual combat is not as good as the Jade Dragon Guard, there are many people, even if it is a wheel battle, it is enough to drag the Jade Dragon Guard down. After a few rounds, Jade Longwei was the first to suffer from physical exhaustion, and then began to decline. Seeing this situation, Li Dejian ordered again: "All infantry have orders!" Charge me out and relieve the siege of the cavalry! ”

The infantry, who had been gearing up, did not attack in formation like an orthodox army after receiving the order, but rushed out like a herd of beasts, disorderly and chaotic. Despite relying only on two legs, it reached the enemy position in an instant and made a forced attack from the side of the enemy formation. The enemy cavalry had a height advantage, and when they sat on horseback, they swung their swords and slashed the necks, shoulders, and heads of the Jade Dragon Guard infantry. But the armor of the Jade Dragon Guard infantry was too hard and thick to be cut at all, and as a result, the Xiangxiong cavalry was stunned by the infantry to break out of a gap.

At the same time, Li Dejian rode his horse and galloped forward for a distance, shouting loudly: "The whole army retreats, retreats to the mountain pass, and fights again!" ”

Yulongwei received the order and quickly withdrew from the battle, first letting the infantry retreat, the cavalry was broken, and after the infantry ran a certain distance, the cavalry caught up. The horses of the Xiangxiong cavalry ran fast, but the Jade Dragon Guard cavalry paid attention to both offense and defense, so even if they retreated, there was no phenomenon of being chased and beaten, at most they were stabbed twice from behind or shot with two arrows, which was harmless......

The reason why Li Dejian sent cavalry to take the initiative to meet the attack was to disrupt the enemy's formation and prevent the enemy's formation from slowly pushing into the mountain pass. At this time, the goal is achieved, and then the melee is carried out in the col, and in a throttling way, as many as you come in, you will have a chance to win the battle.

Although the Jade Dragon Guard was heroic, Zhangxiong saw that the Jade Dragon Guard was already scarce, so he was not afraid and chased directly into the mountain pass. As a result, the more than 200 cavalrymen who rushed into the col first could not figure out what was going on, and they were all killed by Yulongwei's return rifle. Subsequently, all the members of the Jade Dragon Guard guarded the mountain pass, and did their best to resist the enemy's attack in the narrow mountain pass. In this way, the scope of the battle was narrowed, the enemy's numerical superiority was greatly weakened, and the victorious scale slowly tilted towards the side of the Jade Dragon Guard.

As time passed, when it came to evening, the Jade Dragon Guard killed and wounded half of the enemy at the cost of half of the loss. If the enemy army attacks again, the end will undoubtedly be the annihilation of both the enemy and us, and obviously Zhangxiong has no such plan, knowing that he will not be able to defeat the Jade Dragon Guard, Zhangxiong's cavalry has to withdraw. The final goal was not achieved, but it once again consumed the combat effectiveness of the elite division of the Jade Dragon Guard, which can be regarded as achieving the goal in disguise.

As soon as Zhangxiong withdrew his troops, the remaining less than five hundred soldiers of Yulongwei fell to a large area, lying on the ground, looking at the darkening sky in a daze.

Li Dejian's legs couldn't stand it anymore, so he hastily untied the hemp rope, rolled down directly from the horse, covered his left leg with both hands, and kept pumping cold air and massaging. While Zhou Ding and Liu Cheng inspected Li Dejian's leg injury, they ordered Yulongwei to scavenge around the col as soon as possible for everything they could eat, leaves, bark, and beasts, as long as they could find them. Being besieged in the mountain col for so many days, Yulongwei, who has been in the capital with fine clothes and food, relies on the support of wild fruits, herbaceous plants and beasts around the mountain col.

Cheng Chumo categorically refused to eat the bark, but today, he didn't lose his temper, but obediently squatted next to Li Dejian and gnawed on the bark. However, after all, I still have to send two sentences: "Lao Tzu's stomach is about to collapse, and in the end he did not die in the hands of the enemy, but ate the bark of the tree and ate it to death!" ”

"You can skip it! No one is forcing you! Li Dejian glanced at Cheng Chumo, kept his hands, and continued to massage his left leg.

In the past, after hearing this, Cheng Chumo must have been fighting with Li Dejian for a while, but at this time, seeing Li Dejian's face distorted because of the pain, Cheng Chumo was also very knowledgeable, so he didn't hear it and kept his mouth shut.

Just when everyone was taking leaves and bark and other things that could not be associated with food as a feast, eating and drinking, the scout soldiers they saw during the day ran over again, the expression on their faces was the same as during the day, Cheng Chumo and the others immediately understood something, did not ask, but silently threw away the unpalatable bark in their hands and stood up: "How many are here?" ”

"I can't see clearly when it's dark, but I know that there are a lot of them...... More than the Elephant Hung Army during the day! (To be continued.) )
