Chapter 263: Defeat
When the president of the First Association rushed out of the barricade of the camp of the Sun Never Sets* team, he immediately saw a scene that made his heart ache. [Ran^Text^Library] []
In the narrow valley road, the corpses of the cavalry soldiers of the Beichen Army were lying densely, as well as many corpses of war horses. All the corpses were killed by random arrows. And the remaining thousands of Beichen Army cavalry soldiers were desperately charging towards both sides of the valley. However, although the valleys on both sides are low and not very steep, they are all gravel and overgrown with weeds, and it is difficult for war horses to rush up.
The chairman of the first association saw with his own eyes dozens of cavalrymen, who had just rushed up more than ten meters, because the horse's foot strength was not steady, and they rolled and fell into the valley road. The end was naturally extremely tragic, and all the soldiers who fell down were broken to pieces. Some soldiers had just rushed up a few steps before they were killed by the indiscriminate arrows of the archers of the country on which the sun never sets. Of course, it's not that no one rushed forward. Many soldiers of the Beichen Army began to abandon their horses and dismount and charge with their sabers, but it was still difficult to rush forward in the face of a large number of enemy archers.
Luo Cheng, the commander of the cavalry unit of the Beichen Army, was already rushing up the hill at this moment. The dozens of elite guards around him were the same, fighting bloody battles with the general on the hills. However, in the face of thousands of enemy soldiers, Luo Cheng and the others fought very hard. Many warriors have been killed by the enemy, and Luo Cheng is also in danger. And the many soldiers of the Beichen Army in the valley, under the attack of the terrain and the enemy's archers, could not rush up alive or dead, and could not rescue Luo Cheng and others.
Seeing that Luo Cheng was in danger and in crisis, the chairman of the first association suddenly shouted: "Don't be surprised, general, the end will be in the future!" β
After speaking, the head of the first association led the cavalry under his command, selected a place where the terrain was slightly clean, and it was not the focus of the defense of the sunset* team, and began to charge towards the top of the hill. The chairman of the First Association and the officers of some troops, the war horses were all very good war horses, but they also rushed directly in one breath. But the soldiers below are different, their horses are not as good as the officers' horses. Whether you can rush up the hill or not depends on luck, and if you are lucky, the war horse will rush up desperately, but you can also rush up. And the luck is almost good, the sole of the war horse's feet slips, and it is completely finished.
In the end, only more than 800 cavalry officers and soldiers of the Beichen Army rushed up the hill. The cavalry force of hundreds of people drove the fast horse and instantly entered the battle group of Luo Cheng and others. And the sun never sets, and because the soldiers were all archers fighting with machetes in their hands, there was no spear to stop them, and they were instantly opened by the eight hundred cavalry led by the head of the association.
"General, retreat!" The head of the association stabbed to death an enemy soldier who was approaching with a shot, and turned to Luo Cheng and shouted.
As if he hadn't heard, Luo Cheng swept the spear and directly disemboweled several enemy soldiers. Then, continue to kill the enemy soldiers who come closer.
Seeing this, the chairman of the first association also knew that Luo Cheng was red-eyed, and he couldn't hear what the outside was saying at all. So, he hurriedly pulled Luo Cheng. Who knows, Luo Cheng thought that the enemy army was approaching him, and the spear suddenly swept over. The head of the association was shocked, and hurriedly blocked Luo Cheng's spear with the spear in his hand. Fortunately, the strength of the head of the first association is not low, and Luo Cheng has been fighting for a long time, and his strength has dropped by half, but he has not been swept out by Luo Cheng.
"General, we are defeated, retreat quickly!" The head of the association lay next to Luo Cheng's ear and roared loudly.
Luo Cheng suddenly came to his senses, looked at the co-ordinator who was holding him by his side, and turned his eyes to look at the battle situation around him. At that time, there was a burst of anger, and the more than 10,000 soldiers of the Beichen Army brought by the chairman of the Association also began to be attacked by the archers of the country where the sun never sets because of the impact on the hills. Nearly 10,000 soldiers did not carry long before most of them were killed or wounded, and the rest of the soldiers were hurriedly blocking the flying arrows.
At this moment, Luo Cheng stabbed forward with a shot, piercing the chest of an enemy sergeant who rushed up. Then, Luo Chengcheng hurriedly said: "Order the army, retreat, retreat!" β
"No! Checkmate! The leader of the association shouted, and then shouted at the soldiers around him: "Brothers, withdraw!" Retreat to the west! β
Luo Cheng and the head of the First Association led the remnants of the three hundred soldiers to rush down the valley road, meet the soldiers below, and began to flee to the west.
The tens of thousands of archers under Galahad's command could not catch up, and could only shoot a few arrows at the backs of thousands of soldiers. However, because of the rapid galloping of the war horses, all these arrows were shot into the ground behind the soldiers of the Beichen Army.
"General Qiyu, the remnants of the more than 4,000 cavalry of the Beichen Army have withdrawn quickly! The last general couldn't catch up, and failed to kill the enemy's main general, and I hope the general will forgive his sins! A general on whom the sun never sets, dressed in iron armor, came to Galahad's side and said.
Galahad just laughed and said, "It's okay, they can't run away." I've had people ambushed by the valley road to the west, and I believe they won't be able to escape the valley! β
"The general is really clever, the last general can't compare!" The ironclad general immediately complimented Galahad.
After this battle, it is believed that Galahad will definitely be reused by the king. With 60,000 soldiers and horses, he was able to kill more than 35,000 elite cavalry of Beichen Kingdom. And their own losses are only less than 30,000 people, which is really a strategic master! Therefore, at this time, it will be very beneficial to be able to flatter the general in front of you in the future.
Galahad didn't care about the flattery of his subordinates, he knew what he had to do to build his prestige and gain the king's praise and appreciation. Only by defeating the Beichen Army and constantly defeating the Beichen Army will he be reused by the king. Of course, it's not that it hasn't been reused now, it's just that Galahad has been worried about the other one, Lancelot. As one of the thirteen Knights of the Round Table, Galahad naturally knew how powerful Lancelot, the leader of the Knights of the Round Table, was. His strength and resourcefulness are stronger than his own, and if he can't get ahead of him and achieve a lot of success, he can easily be crushed by Lancelot.
"Alright, let the soldiers go down and clean up the battlefield! All the soldiers of the Beichen Army were buried, they were all warriors, and they deserved the respect of the warriors of the Japanese tribal countries! Galahad looked at the bleak battlefield and turned away.
Only the ironclad general was left behind his back to answer: "No! β
Luo Cheng and the head of the first association quickly rushed out of the newly built camp of the Japanese tribe country, and after running for about a quarter of an hour, they took a rest. After all, now the soldiers of the Japanese tribal countries simply do not dare to pursue themselves. Of course, if they dared to retreat down the hill and into the valley to pursue them. I don't mind turning around and killing back to avenge the fallen brothers. Stay on the hill, the cavalry of the Beichen Army can't rush up, and they can't beat you. But if you dare to come down to the valley, you are purely looking for death.
After his subordinates quickly counted the number of people, Luo Cheng found that there were only 4,000 of the 40,000 iron cavalry he led. Ninety percent of the losses can be described as a complete failure. As soon as he thought of this, Luo Cheng felt bitter in his heart. How majestic his 40,000 army was before, and he thought that he could completely destroy the enemy's 60,000 soldiers and horses. As a result, people have completely destroyed themselves, which is really unpredictable.
After resting for about ten minutes, the remaining more than 4,000 knights, under the leadership of Luo Cheng, once again embarked on the journey of escaping. Now the troops are really heading towards the western part of the valley, and even if they are out of the valley, there are countless teams outside where the sun never sets* and they can't fight with 4,000 men and horses at all. Moreover, he doesn't have a little grain and grass in his hands now, maybe after running for a day, he and his soldiers will be starved to death in the enemy's territory.
The speed of the thousands of men was not very fast, they were just advancing at a normal marching pace. At this time, there is no sun never sets* team behind him, so the remnants don't need to run too fast. Otherwise, under the empty physical strength, you will only get hungry faster.
Luo Cheng galloped through the valley with his soldiers and horses, not noticing the countless helmets on the hills on both sides of the valley in front of him.
"General, the one who walked in the front, wearing golden armor, should be the commander of the cavalry unit of the Beichen Army. As long as this person is killed, the general's future is limitless. β
"Haha, well, Ben won't forget you then. By the way, has the hole in the road below been dug? β
"General Huiyu, I have already dug it, just wait for the Beichen Army to crash in!"
"Well, that's very good, I'll order the soldiers to aim as much as possible at the enemy's golden-armored general, and we must kill him here!"
"It's the general!"
Luo Cheng, who was marching, didn't notice anything wrong with the valley road in front of him, and still moved forward silently.
Suddenly, when Luo Cheng sat down and the war horse was running, his front hooves stumbled, and he immediately fell to the ground. Luo Cheng was suddenly shocked and hurriedly jumped off the war horse. Who knows, before his feet touched the ground, Luo Cheng suddenly had a sense of crisis in his heart. However, by this time it was already too late.
When Luo Cheng's feet touched the ground, he realized that the ground under his feet was too unsolid. Subsequently, Luo Cheng's whole person fell into the big pit prepared in advance by the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets. In the eyes of the soldiers of the Beichen Army in the back, their own general suddenly disappeared from the ground. Subsequently, the dozens of cavalrymen who followed the general also disappeared. Finally, when I took a closer look, I found that my general had actually fallen into the pit.
Because the chairman of the association was running a little slowly, he stopped the war horse in time at the edge of the pit. Then looking at the big pit that suddenly appeared, the chairman of the first association suddenly lost his color, and shouted loudly: "There is an ambush, quickly, save the general out!" β
As soon as the head of the association finished speaking, dozens of knights jumped off their horses and came to the edge of the pit. However, at this moment, a scream suddenly sounded in everyone's ears. Looking up, there was a dense rain of arrows in the sky.
Before everyone could react, countless arrows rained down on the pit or the edge of the pit. Luo Cheng and dozens of soldiers who fell into the pit were immediately pierced through their hearts by random arrows. Even the dozens of soldiers of the Beichen Army who went to rescue the general did not escape the fate of death.
Under the cover of the riding shield, the head of the association looked into the pit, and suddenly glared angrily and gritted his teeth. At this time, the pit has completely changed its appearance, and countless arrows are densely inserted in the pit. Luo Cheng, who was wearing gold armor, was even more miserable, except that his head was not shot because he was close to the edge of the pit. The rest of the body parts are almost all filled with arrows. Judging by the number of arrows, there must have been forty or fifty arrows, and not a single person would have survived in this case. "General!" The head of the Ichijo cried and shouted, and there was not the slightest echo in the pit.
At this time, an adjutant general immediately stepped forward and said, "President Xie, hurry up!" β
After saying that, the lieutenant held up the cavalry shield hanging on his arm again, and fired some arrows. However, there were still many arrows that grazed the clothes and skin. It can be seen from this that the rain of arrows of the soldiers of the country where the sun never sets is so fierce that even with a round shield, it cannot stop the enemy's arrow rain at all.
The chairman of the first association said without thinking about it: "No, I must take the general back!" Someone comes, carry the body of the general up, and the rest of the people take cover! β
So, countless soldiers crowded around the edge of the pit and joined the round shields on their arms to form a shield wall. Then, more than a dozen soldiers quickly jumped into the pit. In the process of jumping into the pit, several people were shot as hedgehogs on the spot.
However, none of these could stop the Beichen Army's belief in bringing Luo Cheng back. More than a dozen soldiers fought to risk their own death, and finally carried Luo Cheng's body to the edge of the pit. Subsequently, thousands of cavalry quickly turned over and mounted under the command of the current supreme commander, the general of the association. Regardless of the soldiers of the country on both sides, they galloped directly towards the west!
After losing about 3,000 people, the head of the first association and the participants finally fought their way out of the valley. At this moment, the original 40,000 cavalry troops of the Beichen Army are now only 1,000 people left. Among the 1,000 people, most of them were wounded, and more importantly, the general also died on the battlefield. This is the most demoralizing thing, and if there is no food and grass, everyone goes to the villages in the country where the sun never sets, and it is the same way. But without a great general, then the officers and men of the whole army are likely to lose the ability to fight*.
More than 1,000 people walked on the path in despair, and the current Beichen Army did not dare to take the road at all, for fear of being discovered by the enemy and ambushing them again. And Ma Chao's body has already been disposed of, and the arrows on his body have disappeared. However, that pale face and cold body made all the soldiers of the Beichen Army demoralized.
And at this moment, Xiao Chen also led an army of 500,000 to the border area between Sanguan County and the country where the sun never sets, and I believe that he will soon be able to join Zhang Han's army. At this time, none of them knew that Luo Cheng had been ambushed and died on the battlefield. You provide the latest, fastest and most complete free novel updatesγγ
