Chapter 224: Reversal

The sound of horses' hooves alarmed the warring parties, and the battlefield was stagnant. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"The lord's banner, it's the prince, the prince has come to reinforce us with the guard battalion." The officers and men of the 1st Brigade were overjoyed.

On the contrary, the morale of the coalition army was reduced to freezing point, and the faces of the Killing Army and other lords were like ashes, muttering to themselves: "How come, how can the enemy's reinforcements arrive so quickly, this is impossible, impossible!" ”

It took only two hours to cross 60 kilometers from Shanhai County to the camp in the west of the city.

Ouyang Shuo walked at the front of the team, and after seeing the battle situation clearly, he didn't hesitate or take a break, and directly led the guard battalion to charge towards the sword and shield positions of the coalition army.

The Breaker did not give up, and made a final struggle, he ordered the sword and shield troops to abandon the hoplites covering the enemy, line up on the spot, put up their shields, and prepare to withstand the charge of the opposing cavalry.

The personal guard battalion, the elite of the first division of Shanhai County, the sharp knives among the sharp knives, are all equipped with Mingguang armor, riding green worm horses, equipped with a series of main battle equipment such as horse lance, Tang knife, and strong bow; The average rank of the soldiers has reached the terrifying eighth order, and even the tenth order of the hundred battle elite soldiers has appeared.

With such a strong army, who can stand in its way?! The seemingly impregnable position of the sword and shield soldiers, like papier-mâché, was broken by the blow of the guard battalion, piercing from one end of the position to the other end of the opposite side, completely tearing the position in half. The glittering horse lance, driven by the great inertia, effortlessly pierced the armor of the sword and shield soldiers, and the blood splattered into the air, splashing blood flowers. In this way, there was a vacant vacuum in the sword and shield soldier position, a bloody road formed by the accumulation of countless corpses.

After the charge, the guards retracted the horse's lance, turned the horse's head, and the carefully forged Tang knives were unsheathed one after another. They are battle-hardened warriors, riding the best and most spiritual war horses, when the enemy's sword and shield soldiers have not yet reacted, when the sword and shield soldiers' broadswords are still thinking about cutting the horse's leg, the Tang knife of the personal guard has already taken a step ahead of them, cutting off the enemy's head, and the dead are the least threatening.

In the same way, the hoplites of the 1st Brigade were very effective against the light cavalry of the Coalition forces; But if the light infantry wants to use it against the hoplites, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg.

The reinforcement of the Guards Battalion greatly boosted the morale of the officers of the 1st Brigade; In particular, the leader of the prince Ouyang Shuo greatly boosted morale, at this time, how to be worthy of the prince and the prince without trying his best to fight.

The remnants of the 1st and 2nd battalions of the Chinese army, led by the battalion Zheng Shi Hu and Shi Leopard, began to concentrate on harvesting the trapped cavalry. The 4th Battalion, which had briefly withdrawn from the front of the formation, under the orders of the brigade commander Shi Wansui, turned to break into the Chinese army and assisted the 1st and 2nd battalions to complete the strangulation of the cavalry.

The Guards Battalion took over the defense line and implemented the tactics of dividing and encircling the positions of the allied swords and shields, so that the swords and shields had no time to take care of anything else and only seek self-preservation.

In the rear, the encirclement and suppression of the archers of the cavalry of the third battalion was nearing its end. The sword and shield soldiers who came later, because the number was too small, it was useless, coupled with low morale, they could not stop the pace of the third battalion's attack, so they could only follow behind and eat ashes.

The coalition forces had huge forces, but they were divided in pieces and could not form a unified whole. At this time, the commander of the coalition army just wanted to regroup his troops, but he was also powerless.

The scales of victory began to tilt in favor of Shanhai County.

War is a great test of the will of both sides. In particular, the Guards Battalion, which had just experienced a rapid march and was immediately put into battle, was a huge test of the physical fitness of the soldiers.

Persistence, only persistence can achieve victory.

……

On the eastern border of Shanhai County, a force of 2,000 men brazenly crossed the border and marched towards the hinterland of Shanhai County. They are another coalition composed of Broken Blade Town, Yishui Town, and Gushan Town.

Out of some interest considerations, the commander of the Eastern Route Coalition Army, Ba Dao, did not cooperate with the West Route Coalition Army, and at the same time, launched an attack on Shanhai County together; Instead, he waited until it was confirmed that the Western Route Army and the Shanhai County Army had handed over, and then he pretended to lead the troops and broke into the territory of Shanhai County. In Badao's view, the main force of Shanhai County has been pinned down by the West Route Army, and the East Road has been relieved.

It's a pity that what Badao didn't know was that the 3rd Brigade of the 1st Division of Shanhai County, which had just been formed, was currently carrying out the task of suppressing bandits in the border area. After receiving the early warning order from the base camp, the commander of the 3rd Brigade immediately dispatched a reconnaissance unit to inspect the border area.

Therefore, as soon as the East Route Coalition Army entered the territory of Shanhai County, it was discovered by scouts in less than half an hour, and then the information was reported to the brigade commander Evil.

Evil came to receive the information, and smiled coldly: "A force of less than 2,000 people dares to swagger to invade Shanhai County, I really don't know whether to live or die, and safety doesn't take my evil in my eyes." ”

The evil came to immediately gather troops and set up an ambush in the enemy's path. Evil Lai knew that the Third Brigade had just been formed, and all of them were recruits. In particular, the mountain barbarian warriors of the first and second battalions had only been formed for five days, and not only were they not equipped with infantry armor, but they had not even fought a tough battle.

Therefore, although the 3rd Brigade has an advantage in strength, it will not be stupid enough to fight the other side. At the same time, he also reported the information on the East Road to the base camp in a timely manner.

Ge Hongliang, the military affairs chief who was sitting in the base camp, first received information from the camp in the east of the city, and then received a distress signal from the camp in the west of the city. After confirming that there was no movement in the grassland for the time being, Ge Hongliang decisively ordered the first battalion of the second brigade to rush to the aid of the camp in the west of the city, the second battalion to the camp in the east of the city, and the third, fourth and fifth battalions to still garrison the camp in the north of the city, and continue to monitor the movement of the grassland.

The reinforcements of the second battalion made Evil Lai more confident and swallowed the Eastern Road coalition army in one go.

……

Just when the Third Brigade, under the leadership of the brigade commander Evil Lai, was preparing to set up an ambush for the East Road coalition army, the war outside the camp in the west of the city had entered a white-hot stage.

The first to break the deadlock was the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Brigade, the vengeful knight, who resolutely defended the honor of the Shanhai County army with Tang knives and launched a frenzied massacre against the archer units of the coalition army. When more than half of the allied archers' troops were slaughtered, the soldiers no longer had the courage to resist, and fled one after another.

Li Mingliang of the third battalion was not ready to let them go, the scattered deserters were all over the mountains, and the cavalry were chasing behind, like chasing a group of dying prey, biting to death, without relaxation.

Shanhai County equipped each cavalry with a horned bow, and the warriors rode war horses and continued to harvest the lives of the enemy mercilessly with the bows and arrows in their hands.

The arrows shot by the strong bow made a clear and audible sound of breaking through the air, like a life-saving talisman that pierced through the enemy's leather armor and flesh, and swirled into the bones and internal organs, making a dull sound.

In the endless wilderness, there is no hiding place at all. The low weeds also blocked the sight of the cavalry at all. The cavalrymen were like a pack of hounds, frantically chasing their prey.

There is nothing more frightening than watching one's companions fall one by one. The sharp arrows behind him, like a magician's trick, are precise and endless.

In the end, the deserters really couldn't run, and the adrenaline secreted at high speed squeezed out their last bit of physical strength, and the soldiers were already desperate, so they simply stopped and surrendered with their hands raised.

Surrender is like a plague, once it is detonated, it is out of control.

The third battalion was followed by the first and second battalions. They are the ace troops of Shanhai County, they are equipped with the most advanced infantry armor, they come from the major mountain barbarian tribes, and they are the bravest warriors in the tribe. The mountain barbarian warriors regard honor as their life and cannot be desecrated.

But today, because of the enemy's shameful sneak attack, the soldiers of the second battalion suffered an unimaginable defeat, and if the first battalion had not arrived in time for reinforcements, the second battalion would have been crushed by the enemy.

Lost honor, humiliation suffered, only on the battlefield, washed away with the blood of the enemy.

The soldiers of the first and second battalions were like brothers, they had a clear division of labor and tacit cooperation, and the two surrounded a knight, one was responsible for cutting off the legs of the horses, and the other was responsible for cutting down the fallen knights.

The cavalry of the coalition army, since their birth, have not encountered such a difficult bone to gnaw.

It's like they're plunging headlong into a quagmire made of iron buckets, and no matter how they rush left and right, they encounter the steel giants. When the barrel began to move at high speed in some kind of battle formation, it immediately turned into a steel grinding disc and crushed them completely.

What's even more damning is that there is also a group of bastards with spears, following behind and sneaking up. These shameless spearmen, relying on the superiority of their weapons, specialize in stabbing horses and not people, which is really too hateful.

There is no need to hope for any victory anymore, the cavalry caught in the vortex just wants to escape from the quagmire as soon as possible, escape from this nightmare place.

The cavalry wanted to escape, but the mountain barbarians were unwilling to let them go. Their bodies are not yet stained with the blood of the enemy; At their feet, the corpses of the enemy were not yet piled up. Otherwise, it is not enough to wash away their shame; Otherwise, it is not enough to defend their honor.

The warriors were wearing nearly thirty kilograms of infantry armor, and they were tired from such a high-intensity battle, but they didn't think about resting, they wanted to squeeze the last drop of their potential and deal a fatal blow to these bastards. The Tang knife in their hands is still as sharp as a pity; The shield they were holding was still indestructible.

"Huh~~~" the mountain barbarian warriors roared, which was their death sentence to their prey when they were hunting in the tribe. Now, the object of the sentence has changed from tigers, leopards, jackals, to the enemy's cavalry.

The roar spread through the wilderness, shocking. (To be continued.) )
