Chapter 320: Head to head

The Fifth Legion, led by Affard, arrived at the exit of the basin and stopped and began to assemble, and the ranks were quickly put together again, and the ranks were neatly aligned, and under the command of Affard, row after row began to trot towards the formation of the army of Dunzhisik, ten miles away.

Ten miles on the plain is not too far, it does not take ten minutes to reach on horseback, and after the Fifth Legion under the leadership of Affard marched towards the Deng Zhixik army, Qin Dong immediately led his guards down the mountain, and he followed four miles behind the Third Legion with two thousand Royal Forest Army.

"Ahhh A soldier lying on the grass was awakened by the sound of the ground shaking, turned over and looked, only to see a black oppression in the distance, it was cavalry, a large number of cavalry.

The soldier's face turned pale in an instant, and he immediately let out a terrible cry: "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!" ”

At this time, Deng Zhixike had also been awakened, more than 10,000 iron horsemen were coming at high speed, and the movement caused was naturally not small, he got out of the simple tent and rode on the war horse and looked up, his face changed instantly.

At this time, most of the soldiers woke up, after all, the movement was too big, even those who slept soundly would be awakened, and the movement of this huge cavalry made these soldiers who were not ready for battle begin to panic, and they didn't even know whether to put on armor or take their weapons first.

The Fifth Legion came very quickly, and they didn't make much noise beforehand, so they were never discovered, and only when they were close enough did they alarm the people here. It was impossible to go on any longer, and Deng Zhixike saw that his soldiers were at a loss one by one. If these soldiers were asked to put on their armor and saddles, it was estimated that the army of Qin Dong would have already been killed, and it would be too late by then. Therefore, he immediately gave the order: "Order everyone to take their weapons and mount their horses, leave their armor and saddle stirrups alone, and prepare for battle!" ”

"Yes, Da Shan Yu!" The generals promised that they were better, basically with neat armor and weapons. Therefore, it is also very quick to rush over.

Deng Zhixike really wanted to be angry with the generals, he had already ordered the generals to pay attention to the movements of the Qindong army at any time in advance, but the Qindong army was only discovered when they were killed in front of him. How is this going on? But he still held back, now is not the time to get angry, and he also needs these generals to fight for him and defeat the army of Qin Dong.

After the order was given, the soldiers did not care about the armor and saddle stirrups. They picked up their weapons from the ground and turned on their horses. For these Hun soldiers, they were perhaps lighter and more agile without armor, and even without saddles and stirrups, they were able to move freely on horseback, but their combat effectiveness was somewhat reduced.

Deng Zhixike found that Qin Dong's army was timely enough, if it was a minute or two late, it would really be all over. Alfald would not give him a chance to react and would have killed his 30,000 horses. Now it was found that Alfald had come with a large army, although he had organized the army back into action with some haste. But in the end, the morale of the army was packed up, and the soldiers were ready for battle.

When Alfold marched with the Fifth Legion to about a thousand meters away from the army formation of Deng Zhixik's army, he found that Deng Zhixik's army was still ready, although some of the troops were not in order, but it did not cause a panic situation, but he did not hesitate, stretched out his hand and pulled out the thick horse chopping knife at his waist, raised it above his head and shouted: "The warriors of the Fifth Legion, on the opposite side is the rebellious Deng Zhixike who has established himself as a big single Yu, the king has an order, kill Deng Zhixike and reward ten thousand gold, one thousand acres of pasture, thousands of cattle and sheep, ten women, and the official is promoted to three levels!" ”

"Roar, roar, roar, ......." When the soldiers eat food, carry their heads and pin their belts to live, killing the enemy on the battlefield is already the duty of the soldiers, although the army is disciplined, when they hear that there is such a rich reward, the soldiers are so excited that they can't help but shout loudly.

The entire legion took on the shape of a huge arrow and rushed towards the formation of the great army of Deng Zhixik, and after the great army, a cloud of dirt and grass clippings rose in the sky on the steppe, and countless vultures circled in the sky in the distance, waiting for the end of the battle, and then they could come down and eat the corpses.

Seeing that the Fifth Legion caused such a big momentum, Deng Zhixike was not to be outdone, he rode his horse and shouted in front of the army: "The warriors of the Great Huns, Enek's position is not right, he is simply a puppet, it is Qin Dong, a former slave, who is controlling him, today, the warriors of the Great Huns, please join me to kill Qin Dong here, save Ben Danyu's brother from his clutches, kill-"

"Kill—"

The army moved instantly, Deng Zhixike rushed to the front with a scimitar, it stands to reason that he is already a big Danyu, there is no need and no need to go into battle in person, but he is still young, he thinks that he is still very brave, so he must personally lead the army to meet the enemy, leaving an image of martial arts in the hearts of the soldiers.

Deng Zhixike's position made him unable to see the situation in the rear of the Fifth Legion, and he did not have a telescope, he took it for granted that this was the entire strength of the Qindong army, and if he stood on a high place, he would be able to find that there was only one legion.

Deng Zhixike was fooled, but he didn't know it yet, he was just desperately wielding his scimitar now, and kept riding his horse and rushing towards the oncoming army of Qin Dong.

When they gathered a few dozen meters together, both sides began to shoot arrows at each other, the difference was that Deng Zhixik's army only shot arrows at the fifth legion in the first few rows, and the bows and arrows of the people behind did not have enough range, while the light cavalry and archers in the rear of the third legion shot arrows at Deng Zhixik's army, and their bows and arrows had a long range, enough to shoot at Deng Zhixik's army.

The arrows clanged at the front rows of the heavy cavalry of the Fifth Legion, all of which were blocked by the thick armor, but the arrows fired by the light cavalry and archers of the Fifth Legion caused great casualties to Deng Zhixike's army, and the armor on their bodies did not even have ordinary leather armor, and it was inevitable that they would suffer heavy casualties.

The two armies finally collided together on the plain, the front of the fifth legion was the heavy cavalry, each of them was holding a spear more than four meters long, the distance between the two horses was very short, which formed a huge collision force, after the two armies collided, the first few rows of knights of the army behind Deng Zhixike were instantly poked off their horses, and many soldiers were strung on it by spears, but under the effect of inertia, their bodies were still suspended by spears in the air and advanced with the knights holding spears.

The battlefield was extremely miserable, and any shouting was in vain, and at this time the huge screams, the neighing of the war horses, and the incessant shouting and killing were mixed together, and they were very noisy.

The two armies kept rushing towards each other, the knights in front died, and the knights behind rushed over again, Deng Zhixike's cavalry was originally just some light cavalry, and now they didn't even have armor, how to be the opponent of the heavy cavalry when charging, the soldiers under his command kept landing like dumplings, and no one cared about the war horses running through the gap in the military formation.

The first few rows of the heavy cavalry of the Fifth Army were unable to rush through after a certain distance because the depth of Deng Zhixik's army formation was too long, and they could not get rid of their spears when they only rushed to two-thirds of the position, and they drew their swords and slashed the enemy.

The light cavalry in the back followed, and after several rounds of arrows and some casualties, they hung up their cavalry bows and began to draw their swords and slash at the enemy, while the archers further behind began to shoot at the enemy around the right side, galloping and shooting arrows, wandering around the battle scene and shooting the enemy without stopping.

At this time, Qin Dong, who had already stopped three miles behind the battlefield with the Imperial Forest Army, noticed that the situation of the Fifth Army was not good, and he observed through his telescope that Alfar had arranged the cross-section of the entire attacking army formation too narrowly, so that several thousand cavalry on the left side of Deng Zhixik broke through to the flank of his own army formation and was attacking the left side of the Third Army Corps.

The Fifth Legion was twice as numerous in number, and if the heavy cavalry of the front team could not penetrate Deng Zhixik's army and fell into the formation, then the heavy cavalry and light cavalry of the Third Legion were likely to be surrounded by the opposing side from the left side and deep into the encirclement.

"The king, the situation doesn't seem to be good, look, the left side of the Fifth Legion is under attack!" The guard behind him pointed to the road.

Qin Dong nodded: "I saw it!" ”

After observing it again, Qin Dong looked back at the two thousand Imperial Forest Army behind him, and then looked at the left and right, there was no large army in either direction, it seemed that it would take time for Tolong's Third Army and the local Guards Iron Cavalry to rush over, but now he didn't wait any longer, otherwise the situation would get worse and worse, he immediately swung his three-pointed two-edged knife and pointed forward: "Warriors of the Royal Forest Army, follow me to support the left flank of the Fifth Legion, kill!" ”

"Kill!"

Qin Dong led two thousand Imperial Forest troops to rush towards Deng Zhixike's army, which was attacking the left flank of the Fifth Legion, like an arrow from Xuan.

"Kill!" Qin Dong was fast, and quickly rushed to the enemy army and brandished a three-pointed two-edged knife to slash and slash, while the enemy generals and soldiers in front of him were all cut down and dismounted by him.

Qin Dong's red cloak and shining armor suddenly attracted the attention of the enemy soldiers, many soldiers saw Qin Dong and knew that he must be a general, so they rushed towards him, but Qin Dong was easy to match, a three-pointed two-edged knife made it superb, but all the enemy generals and soldiers who wanted to get close to him were all killed by him, and he alone killed a bloody road, and the royal forest army behind followed him into the enemy formation, rushing left and right.

The enemy army on the left was quickly overwhelmed and even showed signs of collapse, but under the desperate organization of the enemy generals, the enemy army still stubbornly increased its forces to this side.

As more and more Imperial Guards joined the battle, the threat of the Fifth Legion under attack on the left flank was lifted, but Qin Dong and the two thousand Imperial Guards could not withdraw from the battle at this time, and the enemy continued to increase troops to this side.
