Chapter 291: The Lost Dog

On a snowy night, a large cavalry army slowly advanced on the snow slag road, the horses snorted from time to time, the scabbards hit the armor, the knights kept exhaling hot air, and the whole army exuded a murderous aura, which was really unapproachable.

"Hoofs, hooves, hooves......" The sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, and a knight wrapped in a white cloak rode a tall horse at a gallop.

"Law-" The knight grabbed the reins of his war horse and stopped and saluted Qin Dong and Su He: "King, general, the town of Vidin has been besieged by the Enek legion, and now Enek is leading a large army to attack the town, the fourth legion has arrived in Bilad, and it can reach the southwest periphery of Vidin town in half an hour, and the sixth legion has arrived in Pok town, and it only takes three quarters of an hour to reach the northwest periphery of Vidin town!" ”

Qin Dong turned his head and asked, "How much time will it take for us to reach Viding Town?" ”

Su He said: "It will take about an hour!" ”

"Hmm!" Qin Dong exhaled a breath of heat: "Order, order the Sixth Army to speed up and press towards the town of Vidin, they are infantry, the marching speed is slow, let them arrive within half an hour and line up to advance to the Enek army outside the town of Viding, order the Fourth Army to march at a normal speed, once the Enek army can't withstand the pressure of the sixth army and retreat to the southwest, they must press it with all their might, and they must not let Enek escape!" ”

"Yes!" Su He nodded in agreement, waved his hand, and immediately had a herald fly away.

Qin Dong said again: "Command the whole army, advance at full speed!" ”

Another herald rode on both sides of the snowy road, shouting, "The king has orders." The whole army is advancing at full speed towards the small town of Vidin! ”

"The king has an order, the whole army is advancing towards the town of Vidin at full speed!"

The whole army began to run at a faster pace, and the sound of horses gasping began to intensify. The knight's jolting on the horses was even greater.

In the small town of Vidin, fierce battles are raging.

Enek's army entered the town several times, but each time they were driven out, and the first group of Wuzhu who led the troops into the town were already trapped in the town, and their lives and deaths were unknown. Soon after learning that the Vultures were trapped in the town, Enek personally led a team into the town, but the streets and alleys in the town were too dense and too narrow. The army simply cannot be deployed in the town.

If it weren't for the weather, if it weren't for the rush of the army, Enek would have wanted to shoot a large number of rockets directly into the town. Burned the entire town to ruins, but his army came in too much hurry and brought nothing but weapons. Even the horses were left across the river.

"Damn it. Mo Duo hid in the town like a turtle and didn't show up, making the town like an iron bucket, causing this king to lose so many warriors, if this king caught him, this king would definitely break him into thousands of pieces! ”

Enek walked back and forth at the gate of the town with a Damascus scimitar, and from time to time he scolded to vent the anger in his heart, no one knew that he was angry at this time, since he began to fight with his father Attila. He had never encountered such a situation, and he could not move an inch in front of this town with an army of 20,000 men. A small town held him back here, and he lost his troops, how could this not make him angry.

Listening to Enek's angry voice, Agul, the military advisor beside him, couldn't help but sigh: "Your Highness, it seems that our soldiers are really not suitable for attacking the city, and there is no way for the 20,000 army to take a broken town!" ”

Enek immediately said, "Lord Agul, in your opinion, what do you think should be done now?" ”

Agul pondered for a moment and said: "There is a large army of Modo in the town, their weapons are similar to ours, it is really a loss to fight them with infantry, and the only way now is to bring all the war horses over, and use cavalry to rush into the town and rush back and forth along the streets and alleys, I don't believe they can still resist!" ”

This is also a way to do it, Modo with the army in the town to make the defensive formation very dense, with infantry to rush up is basically fighting attrition, if the soldiers of Modo's army have spears or spears and other long weapons in their hands, Agul really dare not use cavalry to charge, but now the weapons of Modo's army are basically some short weapons, at most it is only a mace, this kind of weapon really can't be used in street battles, and the cavalry is used to impact the dense formation that Modo put in the town, It may be possible to break through the defenses of the Modo Army.

"Yes, yes, rush in with cavalry!" When Enek heard this, he immediately reacted and immediately said: "Go and give the order to let the rear bring all the war horses over!" ”

It is not an easy thing to bring all the 20,000 war horses over, even the Huns, a nation who have lived on horseback since childhood, is the same, because the river is frozen and slippery, it is not easy for people to stand firm, let alone the war horses, and the people who stayed behind to take care of the horses tried their best to bring over more than a thousand horses, and it took more than half an hour.

With more than 1,000 war horses, Enek was full of confidence, he immediately distributed the war horses to organize the cavalry to be ready to kill into the town, kill Modo and his army, and then snatched things and left, at this time a soldier panted and ran over and shouted: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the big thing is not good, a group of soldiers and horses came from the northwest, about 10,000 people, all of them are infantry, they lined up in a neat infantry phalanx to crush our army, the front is the heavy infantry, the number is about 3,000 people!" ”

"What?" Enek was taken aback, and the others were also taken aback, how could a large army suddenly appear from the northwest direction at this time?

Enek was taken aback and immediately asked, "What kind of army?" ”

"Your Highness, I can't see clearly in the night!"

Agul said beside him: "Your Highness, in addition to Qin Dong's army, I'm afraid there are no other troops here, it is likely that Qin Dong was transferred from other places, Your Highness, depending on the situation, we can no longer stay here and spend more time with Modo, we must immediately cross the river back to the north bank, we only have a thousand cavalry in our hands now, the others are cavalry that have given up horses, and the combat effectiveness of light infantry is not as good as that, if we face the army from the northwest, we will be dead and dead!" It's better to evacuate cleanly, and it's not too late to settle accounts with Qin Dong and Moduo in the future! ”

"It's really aggrieved, I'm so angry!" Enek shouted twice and had to order: "Withdraw to the North Shore!" ”

At this time, Enek's siege of the town of Vidin was not lifted, but he had 20,000 men and horses, and it was impossible for so many troops to be withdrawn all at once, but only one by one.

The first part of the evacuation had already descended to the ice and began to glide towards Calafate across the river, and more and more soldiers descended the river to the ice and slid down to the opposite bank.

There were more and more people walking on the river, and many holes had already been drilled through the ice by the people sent by Batu, and as more and more people and horses, the ice began to be unbearable, cracks appeared, and the holes that had been chiseled began to bubble upward.

"Click!" With a loud bang, a large layer of ice shattered, and the broken ice was pressed under the water by the heavy soldiers above, and after tilting, all the soldiers above fell into the icy and piercing river, the river water was not static, the river water was flowing under the ice, and after falling into the river, the soldiers who had no time to flutter were washed under the ice by the river, and most of the soldiers were splashing in the river water non-stop.

The whole river suddenly exploded, and countless soldiers who fell into the water shouted for help, these Hun soldiers were all northerners, they didn't know water at all, and they sank after a few flutters in the river.

After this piece of ice was crushed, the ice in other places was also crushed in several places, and there were soldiers who fell into the water and drowned, and the entire river was full of cries for help, and a large number of soldiers who did not fall into the water were desperately sliding back, but the soldiers behind did not know what was happening in front of them, and everyone was blocked on the river and could not retreat.

After this happened, the more clever soldiers immediately got up from the ice and ran back, and the others saw the same and ran back, and after several consecutive breaks and fell on the ice, no other place was crushed.

Enek kept standing on the bank of the river and shouting to the soldiers not to mess around, but his voice had no effect on the loud noise.

Agul watched dumbfounded as soldiers continued to fall into the water, he made a rough estimate, just this moment, at least a thousand people fell into the water, these people who fell into the water can climb up, but most of them are absolutely helpless, at this time it is too dangerous to stand on the ice again, no one dares to go down to rescue, these northern Hun soldiers do not know water at all, and they only drown if they fall in, because the river itself is cold and piercing, it only takes a few minutes, the whole body will be frozen, the blood will begin to coagulate, and lose strength, No longer able to struggle.

After reacting to this, Agul shouted: "Your Highness, we can't walk on the river anymore, we can only leave from other places now, give the order quickly, it's too late!" ”

"Yes, yes, leave from other places immediately, go from the southwest, there is a road over there!" Eneco immediately shouted and ran southwest.

Agul and other ministers and generals immediately followed Enek to the southwest, and the soldiers also followed Eneko's banner of the Chinese army and ran desperately to the southwest.

Less than three miles away from the small town of Vidin, Enek suddenly noticed a large field of torches in front of him, which were very large in scale and formed a phalanx shape.

"This, this is an army, why is there another army, it looks like there should be more than 10,000 cavalry!" Agul shouted.

If it was in peacetime, Enek had an army of 20,000 under his command, and he didn't need to be afraid of these 10,000 cavalry at all, but he only had 1,000 cavalry under his command, and the formation was scattered, and he was followed by a large number of infantry, so he really didn't have the courage to fight against the 10,000 cavalry in front of him.

Enek's face changed drastically: "The whole army retreats!" (To be continued......)
