Chapter 66: There is no retreat
"How the hell did you command? We only have 5,000 men, and 200 people die?"
When the enemy left, the merchant Hussefit rushed out of the rear and loudly questioned Heslamo.
He had completely forgotten that he, who was in charge of stabilizing the rear army, almost took the lead in escaping when the enemy's steel torrent rushed up just now.
Heslamo was silent, grabbing a handful of dirt from the ground and smearing it in the palm of his hand before he looked up at the fat merchant who disgusted him.
"If you want to lead the way, I can give you the place. ”
There was no hint of provocation in Hrasmus's tone, he seemed to be stating a fact, but this fact was enough to shut up the businessman Hussefit.
"Can't our cavalry stop them?"
The leader of the travelers stepped forward and asked softly.
It's not like the merchant leader is looking for fault, but he really doesn't understand, so he asks.
"Cavalry without plate armor, hedging heavy cavalry is looking for death. ”
Before Heslamo could speak, the herdsmen's leader had already answered for him.
"What are they going to do next, and what do you want to do?"
The merchant Hussefit stabilized his mood and asked.
The leader of the herdsmen and the leader of the travelers also looked at Heslamo, waiting for his answer.
Heslamo rubbed his soil-stained hand on the handle of the sword a few times, raised his head and said, "They can't hit the armored battle array, so the rear army is their breakthrough." ”
Everyone followed his gaze and looked at the chaotic rear army.
The two thousand armored sergeants in front of them, although they were not very professional soldiers, belonged to the defenders of the nameless city, and they still looked like soldiers on the march.
The latter 3,000 people are purely composed of thieves, thieves, traders, and herdsmen, and they are warriors rather than small people who hope to make war profits.
In this case, it is inevitable that they will become the weakness of the whole army, and Heslamo can see this, it is not easy, after all, he is not an officer.
"This ......"
Hearing this speculation, the most frightened was the merchant chief, and the rear army was under his control, if something happened...... He was greedy for money and afraid of death, but he didn't want to risk his life.
"I'm coming to the front army, you go to organize the rear army, you must block the enemy, you can't collapse. ”
The merchant chief's words made the brows of the traveler leader and the herdsman leader furrow.
"Yes, but Casseldo's cavalry wants to give it to me. ”
Heslamo said.
The rear army was three thousand, of which a thousand were cavalry consisting of herdsmen and part of the robbers, which he needed.
"Good. ”
Without waiting for the herdsmen's leader to answer, Husyet, the merchant, answered on his behalf.
The herdsmen's leader frowned and did not refute, but faintly the three of them were a little dissatisfied with the merchant.
The merchant also sensed the strangeness of the atmosphere, but at this time he would not care so much.
When the army went on the march, the rations were all financed by him, and he thought he had the right to take the lead.
In addition, saving one's life is the most important thing at this time, and it is impossible to be humble.
"That's it, quickly reorganize the army, and the enemy will also attack. ”
The merchant Hussefit urged, and then left the three of them, shouting for the front army to stand in battle.
The three of them glanced at each other, and they could all catch a glimpse of something strange in each other's eyes, but they didn't say anything, but turned around and went to the rear army.
Under the city walls, 2,000 cavalry had regrouped and were ready to set off, but at this time, Manu found a horse.
"I think we should abandon the armor of the enemy and only rush the rear army. ”
Manu looked at the horse worriedly, and he couldn't understand why he had come up to say this.
It stands to reason that if the horse dies, it would be a good result for him to be able to control Xiliang City, but at this time, he didn't think so.
He wants to live on the horse, and he hopes that he can realize his heart's ambition.
Suddenly, he thought of refuting the teacher's words.
He once said that some people are born heroes, they are passionate and radiant, and they always attract people to live for him and die for him.
In my memory, he asked the teacher what to do when he met such a person.
The teacher said that as a spy, the kind of person you can meet is an enemy, and the best choice is to kill him.
The teacher said this sentence in a joking tone, and when he entered Xiliang as a spy, no one told him that Xiliang City was an enemy.
It's just a gateway that the alliance must control, that's all, in essence, the horse is not an enemy.
He comforted himself with this reason.
"Even if all the three thousand people behind are annihilated, it will not destroy the enemy's will, only by breaking their strongest point can they really make them afraid. ”
With a smile on his face under the helmet of the horse, he reached out and patted Manu's helmet, then withdrew his hand and thumped it on his chest: "Don't think too much, there is no retreat from the battle." ”
"There is no retreat. ”
Manu replied and returned to his group.
After the two teams of cavalry were cleaned up, Manu led his own Xiliang iron cavalry to the enemy's rear.
The horse-chasing team waited for a while and then began to slowly accelerate.
More than 1,000 Xiliang iron horsemen, under the leadership of their duke chasing horses, entered the battlefield.
With a rumbling sound, the horses buckled their masks and the team began to accelerate.
"Formation, a little tighter formation, hold it for me, hold it. ”
Hussefit, the merchant, roared in the ranks, he had never known that war was so terrible, and if he had known this, he swore he would never have set foot on this land at all.
"Put the gun. ”
A muffled military order came from the helmet of the horse, and then the spear in his hand was lowered, and the warriors behind him followed suit.
His legs began to clamp desperately on the horse, causing it to charge forward frantically.
In front of him was a long spear like a forest, and he did not flinch in the slightest from chasing the horse.
Through the gaps in his armor, his eyes could be seen filled with excitement and mania, this was his battlefield, this was the first time in his life that he had seen a real enemy.
Whether it was secretly seizing the throne of a man, or fighting openly and secretly with several other cities, in his opinion, it was not his real battlefield.
The enemy he longed for was as powerful and indisputable as he was in front of him.
Zhuma knows that this is because he is too deeply influenced by the culture of the alliance, and always sees this continent as a whole.
This is because the most prevalent doctrine in the alliance today is unification.
He did not resist such thoughts, but under the influence of this, he always felt that the civil war was not a war, and this kind of battle was the battlefield he longed for.
The war horse was facing the enemy, desperately neighing to find the gap in the spear and rush over, but where was the gap in front of him.
The horse's right hand pulled the reins of the horse, and the body lifted upward, and the war horse understood his mind and jumped up violently.
Heavily armored and carrying a large horse-chasing horse on its back could not jump very high, but it was enough to keep the spears from piercing straight into their bodies.
The heavy body and armor of the horse smashed into the enemy with the horse, and at once they overwhelmed the spear under him, and the body rushed towards the enemy even more fiercely.
"Bang. ”
There was a muffled sound, and the first person was directly hit by the horse and flew backwards, and the plate armor on his body like an iron plate was smashed out of a big hole.
"Kill. ”
The horses roared, and the spears in their hands stabbed the enemies in the second row with all their might.
"Click. ”
The spear breaks through the armor and stabs into the enemy's body.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
On the entire front, the cavalry rushed forward frantically, and the cavalry and infantry were in full contact with each other.
Chasing the horse didn't care about the left and right, he let go of the spear with his right hand, and picked up the long knife directly from the left side of the horse.
The long knife was unsheathed, and was hung directly on the horse for ease of grabbing and fighting.
Because the cavalry was heavily armoured, they were not afraid of hurting themselves.
He picked up his long knife and slashed frantically to the right and left, and the spears in the rear of the enemy also stabbed at him, not at him, but at the war horse on which he was seated.
The spear was covered with an obscure light, the power of the enemy's mouth.
"Poof. ”
The spear went down the horse's mouth and directly pierced the horse's head.
The head of the spear pierced through the armor behind the horse's head and pierced into the horse's abdomen, about an inch into the body.
"Smack. ”
Horse by horse swings a knife to cut off the enemy's spear, directly pulls out the enemy's spear head, and the body rolls to the ground because of the fall of the war horse.
It would be too dangerous to fall to the ground at such a time, but he was fearless, and when he got up, he swung his long knife to kill the enemies around him.
"Click. ”
A broad sword blocked his long knife, and he was so shocked that he could barely hold the long knife in his hand.
The cavalry behind him also knew that the Duke was dangerous, and rushed forward frantically, knocking several enemies to his left and right, leaving him in a safe state for the time being.
But those iron horsemen who penetrated deep into the enemy's formation were knocked off their horses by the enemy almost instantly, and then chopped into several pieces.
The enemy's combat power is far superior to theirs.
The charge of more than a thousand heavy cavalry also slowly stopped, and at this time, it was the most vulnerable time for the iron cavalry.
Is that all there is to it?
Chasing the horse in heartache, he held a knife in his right hand and the tip of a spear in his left, standing blankly on the battlefield, watching his warriors rush forward frantically and then be chopped off by the enemy.
"Kill. ”
He roared, stepped over the corpses of his enemies, and began to charge forward.
Just as he was about to fight into the enemy camp regardless of life and death, the sound of war drums came from behind him.
The surrounding iron horsemen also heard the sound of war drums, this special rhythm represented the command to free up space for friendly troops to rush forward.
Manu?
For a moment, he thought of this person, because apart from him, there was no iron horse in Xiliang City.
The horses did not rush forward again, but began to retreat slowly, and the cavalry beside them also fought and retreated, and at the same time gathered tightly together, leaving a few gaps.
"Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat in battle. ”
The shouts of killing sounded behind him, and then in those gaps, countless cavalry rushed madly to kill, just like they had before, and resolutely rushed into the enemy formation.
The enemy formation, which had just wanted to counterattack, was instantly suppressed by the cavalry that had frantically pounced on it.
In the retreat, Chama saw the figure of Manu, he jumped high, and rushed into the enemy formation, and was overwhelmed by the enemy formation.
"Retreat, regroup, come again. ”
Chama took a deep look at the direction in which Manu's figure had disappeared, and roared angrily while regretting.
The cavalry, which had lost its speed, steered its horses backwards and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
At this time, the friendly troops who came to support were also in a dilemma, completed the whole army, grabbed a war horse from horse, and led the army into the battlefield again.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry, there is no retreat.
