233 Hope of Vann Harbor
Cavalry rushing into the spear formation? This is a taboo that any soldier knows, and the long spears form a long wall of steel, and any cavalry who charges into the formation should not think of rushing through it without paying a heavy price.
Everyone understands the truth, but is this the case in actual warfare? The answer is often no, war is sometimes a simple math problem, and the death of one person may be exchanged for the survival of another.
The cavalry who rushed to the front, when his horse and his body turned into skewered flesh on the tip of the spear, although he lost his life, but at the same time provided a chance for his comrades behind to break the formation.
Can the spear formation resist the charge of one wave of warriors, but can it also resist two or three waves? When the flesh and blood pile up into a wall, there will always be lucky people who break through your military formation.
Ten years ago, when General Zhongli fought the Golden Wolf King in the grassland, he didn't dare to put up a simple spear formation at all, but a combination of shield walls and spears for defense, and it also needed a large number of crossbowmen and trebuchets to resist the crazy attack of the Red Scale Cavalry.
But today, can these spearmen without long-range fire support really survive the cavalry charge? Not to mention the layers of shining ice armor on the first of these cavalry.
However, there is no room for hesitation in the war, especially in the current melee scene, in just two breaths, the horse's horse speed has been increased to the limit, and the spurs under his feet have drenched the blood of the horse's abdomen.
In the face of the shining spear tip, the war horse also knew that it was afraid, but the urging of the spurs could not be resisted, and it was the nature of the war horse to charge.
After only four or five breaths, the vanguard cavalry had smashed into the formation, and the sound of violent collision pierced people's ears.
The crisp sound of ice armor cracking, the grinding of spears across armor, the neighing of dying horses, and of course, the screams of people before they died.
The sounds come together to form a symphony that leads to hell.
The Awakened's ice armor, though strong, could not withstand the piercing of the Black Iron Spear. Although the black iron armor can resist spell attacks, it still can't resist the violent impact brought by the war horse.
In an instant, all the knights in the front row were killed on the spot, and the corpses of men and horses rolled and rushed into the military formation.
The Black Iron soldiers were also uncomfortable, and several soldiers were knocked into the air by their horses, and then smashed the spear tips behind them. Other soldiers were viscous by the force of the impact, and gulps of blood rolled down the gaps in their visors.
"Fill in the position, hurry up and fill in the place..."
The soldiers in the back row had no time to remember their fallen comrades, their eyes were already blood-red, and they could not see anything except the cavalry that followed.
The soldiers filled their positions quickly, but no matter how fast they were, they couldn't move their horses faster, and when the soldiers' spears were just leveled, a second wave of cavalry rushed up.
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave... More and more cavalry poured up, and by the end the soldiers who had filled their positions had not even had time to put their spears down, and they had already collided with the cavalry.
The melee finally began, and although the spear array had not been broken through, the power of the spear could no longer be used. The charging cavalry had already begun to push the formation with their horsepower, and they wanted to squeeze a passage out.
"Abandon the spear... Draw a knife and slash..."
A snowy sword light was flickering, hundreds of black iron soldiers and cavalry were entangled together, and the battle had now turned into a bandit-like slash, and everyone would not retreat half a step in order to survive.
This group of Black Iron Soldiers is lucky, and they are also the most successful of all the Black Iron Soldiers. It turned out that at the moment when the city was broken, General Zhongli immediately sensed the enemy's purpose, and he divided the remaining more than 1,000 black iron soldiers under his command into five teams and went straight to the most critical strategic points, except for himself.
At this time, there were only four empty walkers left by Zhongli's side, although Zhongli really wanted to send them to protect the prince, but how could these empty walkers listen to such a chaotic fate. The only order given to them by Lord Driftfire was to protect General Zhongli, and no other tasks would be accepted.
Zhongli smiled bitterly and said to these immature-looking children, "Let's go, go back to Peishui, there is no point in staying here and accompanying me to die..."
"I will not leave Wengang, I am a Wengang native in life, and I am a ghost in Wengang in death, no matter what you say, I will not leave. Go back, tell that brother, don't look for the second prince if you want revenge, go to the Yu family to avenge me, anyway, it's also his enemy of life and death..."
The four Skywalkers glanced at each other, one of them a little older.
"Don't worry, General, Lord Flowing Fire will definitely come, as long as we hold on, the final victory will definitely be ours. We still have 30,000 loyal soldiers in Fog Harbor, do you doubt their loyalty?"
"Although the battle situation is very dangerous now, we will defend the city to the death, fight street by street, fight house by house, we can still hold it, we will definitely be able to defend until the moment Lord Drifting Fire comes..."
After hearing this, Zhongli actually smiled, "Little guy, I have fought all my life, can I still not know this situation? Let us stay for three days, do you think that a miracle will happen in these three days? I really don't know where your confidence comes from..."
The young face did not waver at all, "General Zhongli, you have not been to Peishui, and I am a native of Peishui, you don't know what kind of cruel memory my childhood is..."
"At that time, my parents were requisitioned from the water jade mine, and the original meager salary was still withheld by those greedy officials, and the money left by our parents was not enough to eat at all, and my sister and I could only eat one meal a day, a meal of wild vegetable porridge that could see the shadow of people..."
"At that time, I thought, what is the taste of the legendary braised pork? But when we think about it, we also know that it is an impossible extravagant hope..."At this point, two tears flowed from the child's cheeks.
"Originally, I thought that I would repeat the suffering of all the Peishui people, struggling to grow up, struggling to work as a coolie in the mines, getting a little ration under the whip and cursing, and my children would repeat my old ways in the future. Hehe, of course, provided that I can live until I grow up..."
"However, in the winter of that year, a miracle happened, my mother actually came home from the mine, and on New Year's Eve, he actually brought us dried meat and 100 meters. I couldn't believe my eyes at the time, I will never forget the taste of jerky and 100 meters for the rest of my life..."
"It was on that day that my mother told me that we had a miraculous god from Peishui, and that was our god of light from Peishui, and he brought us this food..."
"From that day on, we really felt like we were living a miracle, we had food to eat, we had free schooling, we had new houses built, and we had the courage to buy new clothes. All these miracles have been given to us by Lord Flowing Fire..."
"Later, perhaps it was our good days that angered the big men, and on that night ten years ago, the flames burned on both sides of the water, and men, women, and children were slaughtered by the demons who summoned the flames, and it was a hellish scene all night. Our loved ones were killed, our homes burned, and all our dreams shattered that day..."
"Really, at that moment I really felt that I was dreaming, that the sweet life was just a sweet dream before, and now the sweet dream has finally turned upside down..."The choked child suddenly became excited, his voice became higher and higher, and finally he even shouted.
But just when the dream broke, Lord Liuhuo returned to Peishui with a miracle. The god of light, flowing fire, returns to Peishui with a thousand rays of light, turning our suffering into a violent victory..."
"When the enemy's heads dripped blood on the banners, and when our warriors paraded throughout Peishui, I finally learned that Lord Flowing Fire was not only the god of light, but also the god of miracles..."
"I don't know if I can bring confidence to everyone, but the belief in my heart has never been erased, today's crisis is a fart, I will always believe that Lord Flowing Fire will not abandon us..."
"As long as he is there, miracles will last forever..."
When the Skywalker used up all the air in his lungs and shouted the last sentence, he realized that he didn't know when, the courtyard was actually full of soldiers.
There are subordinates from the General's Mansion, soldiers who guard, heralds who run, and even officers who report the military situation. These people looked at the empty walker with tears in their eyes, and everyone was dumbfounded. Suddenly, a roar erupted in the crowd.
"Damn, fight, how can we let the children go beyond us so many old men, people have come to Wengang thousands of miles away, and they haven't thought about running for their lives, if we don't fight hard, we will die of shame..."
"Grass, fight back, since my brother is so resolute, then let's believe my brother once, let's use this life to drag the enemy to death in Wengang City..."
"Yes, drag them to death until reinforcements arrive..."
"The Zhong family army will win..."
"Victory..."
......
In the entire courtyard, there were shouts and battles everywhere, and everyone's emotions had been mobilized, and the little depression brought about by the sudden attack of the Yu family was actually dispelled by a few words from this young man.
And outside the crowd, the prince Lin Feng, who had just escaped for his life, was watching all this, his heart was surging with excitement, if it weren't for his years of deep qi cultivation, I'm afraid he would have cried.
The war has lasted for four months, the entire long rainy season is about to pass, countless Wengang people have died tragically, the wealth accumulated over the years has been burned, and his father is about to die, but he is still a waste waiting for others to save him.
"It's useless to be a scholar, only now do I know how weak my own strength is, and I can't do anything in the face of great changes..."
"Wen Gang's life and death are now in the hands of General Zhongli and his brothers..."
