Chapter 230: Fight and Retreat (Ask for Collection, Recommendation, Subscription)
Yu Liqiang, the fake Hou on the side, also asked puzzled:
"Brother Tian, what's wrong?"
"Oh no, we've been tricked, I hope it's too late to return now"
Tian Dapeng didn't have time to explain more, turned around, and shouted hoarsely at the soldiers under his command:
"Brothers, the whole army is in order, follow me back to the military fortress in Ando County!"
Bai Ruinuo saw the abnormal behavior of Tian Dapeng and others, and said in his heart that his strategy of delaying time was finally seen through by the other party, and the enemy had already planned to return to help, and he would not be fooled again, so it would be a hard-fought battle next.
"Elder Zuo Yuwei, I hope your plan succeeds, otherwise this group of loyal and brave white sons under my command will die too unworthy."
Anto's defenders didn't move, and the barbarians didn't move, now that the Ando defenders wanted to come back, how could Bai Ruinuo let Tian Dapeng and the others go with it, he ordered loudly to the centurions on the left and right:
"Sons and daughters, get on the horses! For the glory of the White Barbarian Tribe, kill with me! ”
Tian Dapeng also knew in his heart that the purpose of this group of barbarians was to delay time and prevent them from returning to help, and if Anhu's defenders successfully returned to the military fortress, there was only one way to go, and that was to kill the group of enemies in front of them.
"The brute dogs have come here, brothers, we will kill them in the shortest possible time"
Yu Liqiang roared angrily and rushed forward first.
The two sides did not have any unnecessary tentative attacks, and from the very beginning they entered a white-hot battle, and they had been entangled with each other for a day, and both sides knew each other's reality clearly, and there was no longer any fancy words.
The four hooves of the war horse flew up, and the cavalry of the White Barbarian Department was no longer harassing around the formation, but fiercely slammed into the hedgehog-like spear array, and the war horse neighed, and was strangled by the knight and rushed to death.
The huge war horse hit the tip of the spear, and the knight on the horse flew high, and at the moment when he landed on the tip of the spear, he threw the weapon in his hand, just hoping to kill one more enemy, and the lucky one fell between the gaps, and there was no time to get up, so he fell to the ground, waving his weapon.
Tian Dapeng couldn't help but be frightened, he had dealt with barbarians for so many years, and it was the first time he had seen barbarians fighting so recklessly and recklessly, this was not a war, this was simply a suicidal way of fighting, and at the same time, it also confirmed his thoughts even more, if the other party did not have a bigger plan, he would never let this group of elite cavalry use their lives to stop themselves, so as to buy more time.
Bai Ruino really began to fight hard, he led his loyal subordinates like a sharp blade to stab the gun array of the Ando army, but they didn't rush far in, they were tightly entangled by the Ando spearmen, the cavalry that lost the advantage of mobility was like a fish out of the water, the spears flew over, wave after wave, the barbarian cavalry continued to fall from their horses, and at the same time, one after another Ando's elite spearmen were also cut down by the barbarians to the ground.
The screams of death, the wails of the wounded, the sound of the earth-shattering drums that were as fast as raindrops, and the symphony of metal weapons colliding, mixed together, like a death requiem.
The first wave of attacks had ended, and Bai Ruinuo spun his horse's head and counted the soldiers gathered around him, and it was just this round of impact that more than one-tenth of the sons of the White Barbarian Department remained in the gun array of the Ando defenders forever, which made him feel a heartache.
The situation of the defenders of Ando was not optimistic, and the two gun formations at the top had already suffered a large number of casualties, and they slowly retreated under the cover of their robes, until they retreated behind the three phalanxes in the back, and began to reorganize their formation, and once again lined up in a tight gun formation.
Bai Ruinuo couldn't help but smile bitterly, and began to regroup his troops, as soon as the defenders of Ando had the intention of retreating, he launched a crazy attack again, like a mad dog, biting his prey and refusing to let go, this is a situation that will not stop until one side is all killed.
Night had fallen, and the battle had been fought intermittently for several hours, and neither side had found a bargain, hundreds of corpses of different costumes lay on the battlefield, and the garrison of Ando Prefecture had retreated less than ten miles in the direction of the military fortress, and both sides had to stop again to rest, gather strength, and prepare for the next charge (defense).
Tian Dapeng's eyes were red, his eyes were already bloodshot, the first three charges of the barbarians were all repelled under the leadership of Yu Liqiang, even if he watched the battle from the sidelines, he still couldn't help but feel thrilled.
It wasn't until Yu Liqiang was wounded all over his body and finally exhausted that he couldn't fight anymore that Tian Dapeng replaced him and went into battle himself.
If Tian Dapeng was killed, the blow to the Ando defender would be fatal, so he could only restrain himself and let Yu Liqiang, a good brother, charge on his behalf. Ando's defenders, seeing their own commander personally go into battle, one by one as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, bravely forward, in an instant, the morale of the Ando camp was greatly boosted, so that they could be able to repel the last charge of the barbarians, the barbarians suffered extremely heavy casualties, and their own side was by no means happy.
Tian Dapeng's four thousand commanders have died one in battle, and the centurion has died seven or eight, and the battle loss ratio of the two sides has always been maintained at about two to one, with two thousand on the other side and four thousand on their own.
Looking at the bleak night, Tian Dapeng clenched his fists, his mind was constantly struggling, and he had to make a difficult decision.
Tian Dapeng summoned his good brother Yu Liqiang's side, looking at this good brother who had fought side by side with him several times and fought against the brute dog, who was already covered in blood at this time, like a bloody man, Tian Dapeng's face showed a trace of apology.
"I'm sorry, my good brother! I need you, the garrison of Anhu needs you, and the entire Anning and Taidang counties also need you! ”
On the military fortress of Anhu County, Zeng Qi stood there in a daze under the escort of several personal soldiers, and the smoke and dust rolling up in the distance and the dense and endless barbarian generals appeared in their field of vision one after another, looking at so many barbarian soldiers, all the Ando defenders felt shuddering and heartbroken.
At the intersection of heaven and earth in the distance, not only were there a large number of barbarian cavalry and foot soldiers, but what frightened Zeng Qi was that some large siege equipment was faintly visible behind this large group of troops.
Zeng Qi slowly closed his eyes in despair, looking at the density of the barbarians, the barbarian army that came to attack this time was probably 50,000.
