Chapter Ninety-Six: The General Offensive Begins
At this time, Qin Dong found that the remnants of nearly two hundred vanguard cavalry under Odoaser under the mountain had completely turned to retreat to the lakeside, so he knew that the time for the attack had come, and immediately ordered: "Blow the trumpet and order Tinys, Sankundo, and Ramado to attack back and forth, and launch a general attack!" β
"Yes, General!"
The desolate horn sounded, thick and long, and traveled a great distance, and when Tinis and Sanquindo heard the trumpet, they knew that a terrible battle was inevitable, and they looked at each other, and both drew their scimitars and pointed forward: "Warriors, kill with meβ".
"Woolulu, woolulu-" The Hun cavalry lightly clamped the horse's belly with their legs, driving the war horse to accelerate, and at the same time carrying a scimitar in a continuous circle above their heads, slowly accelerating to charge the Germanic cavalry in front.
Ramado, who was behind Germain, heard the horn of the attack and drew his scimitar: "Warriors of the Great Huns, use your scimitars to cut off the heads of your enemies and capture their horses, wives and children!" Kill-".
The same shouts, the same neatly lined up phalanx formation launched a charge behind the Germanic cavalry, at this moment, even if there were dislikes and contradictions between Ramado and Qin Dong, but in this case, Ramado had to completely abandon the past grievances and concentrate on dealing with the Germans.
On the hill, Qin Dong saw that after the trumpet was blown, Tinis, Sankundo, and Ramado all launched attacks one after another, and immediately rode to the front of the team with a three-pointed and two-edged sword, shouting: "Suhe! β
"My lord, I am here!" Su Hece came over and answered loudly.
Qin Dong ordered: "You lead two hundred archers to block in the southwest direction, the encirclement has not yet been completed here, I infer that if the Germans are not stupid, they will definitely break through to this area, your task is to use the high-speed mobility of the archers to constantly harass and attack them, do not let them out of your sight, remember, you can't fight them in close combat, you are archers, you must use bows and arrows to shoot the enemy to the maximum!" "Attack the cavalry of Odoase, take advantage of the geographical advantage of the hillside to rush down and break up the enemy's formation."
"Command!" Su He shouted, and then secretly bluffed the sword wreckage with me! Drive-".
When Su He led the archers to lead the order, Qin Dong knew that he could not delay any longer, so he raised his spear and pointed forward: "Everyone follow me to chase and kill the enemy, kill-" After shouting, he took the lead in riding his horse and rushing down the mountain, and the other four centurions, the captain of the guard, Batu, led four hundred light cavalry and members of the escort team to rush down the hill along the hillside after him, and rushed behind the retreating Odoaser army.
The whole earth trembled, and the shaking like an earthquake broke the original dead silence of the lake, and the Huns attacked, and the Germans saw that they were surrounded by the lake, and they were not easy to provoke, and now the situation was a battle of trapped beasts, and the team was divided into three, and the three hundred cavalry in the back turned their horses and rushed towards the four hundred Hun army led by Ramado under the leadership of Hall, and the three hundred cavalry in front rushed towards the four hundred Hun cavalry led by Tinis and Sankundo under the leadership of Mondi, In the middle, Manlarik led his own 100 cavalry to sit in the middle army, and the Chinese army could respond at any time.
Tinis and Sanquindo were the first to attack, and the three hundred Germanic cavalry led by Monty rushed towards them, the two armies encountered first, the Hun cavalry had bows and arrows, and they began to shoot arrows at the Germanic cavalry in the process of high-speed sprint, in the process, the three hundred Germanic cavalry led by Monty kept falling from the galloping horses, and even if they did not fall to their deaths, they were trampled to death by the cavalry behind.
After four or five consecutive waves of arrows fell from the sky, the Germanic cavalry led by Monty suffered heavy losses, and the two sides lost seventy or eighty cavalry before they could officially engage in battle, but at this time Mundy had no time to pay attention to these, and what he wanted to do now was to break through the Hun formation.
After four or five rounds of arrow rain, the Hun cavalry began to put away their bows and arrows, drew their scimitars and rushed into the Germanic cavalry, the melee began, and the tragic killing of cold weapons was officially staged.
In the rear, the Germanic Hall has also led his three hundred cavalry and the four hundred Hun cavalry led by Ramado to formally engage in battle, the two sides killed the blood on the lakeside, the Hun cavalry gave full play to the tactics of first riding and shooting and then hand-to-hand combat, and the Germanic cavalry lost hundreds of people in the sprint stage, and the continuous screams and falling horses around him made the heart of Hall who led the charge dripping blood. Whoever let only the Hun cavalry be able to ride and shoot, and if his cavalry could also ride and shoot, he would definitely order the cavalry to use bows and arrows to kill and wound a large number of enemy troops during the charge.
Seeing that the cavalry was approaching the Germans, Ramado immediately put away his bow and arrows, brandished his scimitar and rode over, the grim expression on his face did not play a role in the dark night, but his combat strength attracted the attention of Hall, who was rushing head-on.
Hall is also in the prime of life, when the official body lì and the fighter are at their peak, the two immediately came to a frontal charge, "when, when" after the two weapons resonated, the two horses staggered, no one took advantage, at this time it was the key to the battle, and the two main generals could not turn the horse's head to continue to fight, but used the speed of the war horse to slash each other's soldiers.
When there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him, and accompanied by the soldiers around him falling from their horses one by one, Odoaser knew that he was wrong, and he was very wrong, he did not expect that the ambush on the hill was also cavalry, he also thought that the front and rear were cavalry, and the hill must be infantry, and only the infantry's bow and arrow could shoot so far, but he was wrong, it was the cavalry that rushed down from the hill, and the Hun cavalry with bows and arrows rose.
At this time, it was too late to turn the horse's head to meet the battle, and it was estimated that before turning the horse's head to face the battle, the pursuers behind him had already been killed, and the enemy used high-speed impact force to kill, and he and his cavalry could not stop the other party's charge at all. He immediately shouted to Valdoru beside him: "Cousin, I will lead the team to the southwest to open up the breakthrough route, you go back immediately to inform the leader to retreat from the southwest, I will wait for you there, you must be fast, if the Huns complete the siege, we will be finished!" β
Valdoru said anxiously: "Cousin, you must be careful! β
Odoaser had no time to take care of his own danger, he didn't expect the Huns to be so cunning this time, and set up a net here to wait for their thousand cavalry, and the other party was all cavalry, he didn't want anything else, he just wanted to quickly break through a gap in the southwest direction, only there was a gap in the encirclement.
The enemy army behind him is getting closer and closer, and someone must be sent to block it, otherwise it will be killed by the Hun cavalry following before the gap is opened, and Odoasei immediately ordered his deputy captain: "You take most of the people to attack the southwest direction, you must open the gap, I will take some people to stay behind to block the pursuers, and also guard this passage for the leader behind me, go quickly!" β
The vice-captain looked at Odoase deeply, gritted his teeth and said, "First, the second team come with me!" β
Odoaser took the remaining sixty or seventy cavalry and turned his horse's head to meet Qin Dong and his subordinate cavalry who were pursuing behind him.
