At this time, most of the main force of the dragon army has climbed the Niangniang Dam, deep into the hinterland of the swamp, there are heavy guards in front, there is a ten-mile long dam in the back, and there is an air force on the top, it can be said that it is difficult to advance, it is difficult to retreat, it is difficult to escape, and it is difficult to defend, it is simply a live target for the deer cavalry!

The deer cavalry was divided into two groups, left and right, always maintaining a distance of fifty or sixty meters from the line of Niangniangba, and fired powerful steel crossbows unscrupulously. This steel crossbow was sent out with the help of the power of the machine, and at such a close distance, the power was even more than that of the feather arrow.

The soldiers of the Force Regiment and the Min Regiment immediately felt a deep threat.

No matter how powerful an ordinary steel crossbow is, it is not enough to kill immediately, but the steel crossbow seems to be coated with poison, and dozens of soldiers with crossbow arrows in their bodies have already felt uncomfortable, foaming at the mouth, and falling into the mud.

Long Yuandong shouted: "Gather the formation! Shoot arrows and counterattack!"

It's a pity that although the dragon army reacted quickly, it was a big step behind the flash of the deer cavalry army.

Seeing that the deer cavalry army had run through more than half of the swamp in an instant, the spearmen, broadsword divisions, and fire brigade soldiers in the rear team fell in large areas of crossbows.

He vigorously rushed out of half a mile, and when he turned around, he found that except for a few powerful generals who followed him closely, the rest of the soldiers were sparsely dragged far away, obviously lacking in follow-up, so there was no point in charging down, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to continue to charge, or turn around and go back.

Just as he was hesitating, a sharp whistling sound suddenly sounded in front of him, and a black shadow rushed towards him. He didn't have time to think, so he immediately sacrificed twenty-eight star shield arrays and blocked them in front of him!

Rumble!

He Dali only felt a depression in his chest, and involuntarily retreated a stone pier.

The Star Shield Array immediately collapsed, and dozens of sharp heavy bed crossbows fell to the ground with a clatter!

With such a huge power of the bed crossbow, it was enough to threaten the life of a seventh-order soul master. If it weren't for He Dali bearing the brunt of the front, I don't know how many people's bodies this crossbow would penetrate!

Without waiting for He to gasp vigorously, another bed crossbow was shot in the chest!

He Dali had no choice but to continue to gather the shield array, resist the bed crossbow, and retreat back step by step.

This is the first time since he joined the army that he has not advanced but retreated when charging!

If you hear people and know about this situation, I'm afraid you will be a little proud in your heart!

Suddenly, Xin Peng let out a muffled grunt, and a bed crossbow shot from the side, piercing his thigh.

He Dali turned around and said, "The chicken is still there, right?"

Xin Peng cut off the bed crossbow with a knife, endured the pain, and said, "Don't worry, it's very strong!" The blood on his thigh was pouring out, he tore off the belt of his clothes, tied a dead knot casually, and bounced back with one leg.

Seeing that the army had failed in the charge, Dugu Wen immediately ordered to stop beating the drums and Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Tens of thousands of soldiers of the Dragon Army, the front team turned into a rear team, and quickly retreated. He Dali changed from the first one to the last, all the way over, you can see the corpses of fallen soldiers everywhere, and under careful identification, many of them are soldiers who have been trained by themselves. Every time I saw a corpse, my heart felt like a needle had been pricked.

While the dragons were crowding and retreating, the deer cavalry had already run back and forth through the swamp several times. Every time you run, you have to reap countless lives. Speed is their strength, and of course they have to play to it to the fullest.

Fortunately, the dragon army was only a little slower to react, and it didn't really lose its resistance. Under the joint counterattack of the rifles of the Fire Brigade, the feathered arrows of the pikemen, and the javelins of the Minzhi Regiment, the deer cavalry finally suffered some casualties, counting about hundreds of people and deer, and after feeling the threat, they did not dare to approach too closely.

Two quarters of an hour later, the dragon army finally managed to exit Niangniangba.

Long Yuandong counted the battle losses as soon as possible.

Before the Battle of Lianghekou, the dragon army had a total of 48,000 men. After beating the bison ditch, there were 33,000 people left. If you count the more than 4,000 captives captured, and the 600 people of the Wind Brigade Special Battalion brought by Gong Luoluo, it is 38,000 people.

In this battle, 1,900 people were killed. Two hundred people were seriously injured, not counting minor injuries.

There were 35,000 men left, and excluding the logistical baggage troops and prisoners who had not yet been naturalized, only 30,000 could actually fight.

Among them, the Min Regiment and the Force Regiment combined were about 5,000 people, 7,000 pikemen, 7,500 broadsword divisions, 6,000 guard divisions, and 4,500 Fu Huo divisions. And then there are the six hundred people of Gong Luoluo.

A total of 30,000 people, taking the initiative to attack the more than 80,000 enemy troops who occupy the best time, place, and people, no matter how you look at it, it seems that you are beyond your strength and have thrown yourself into a net.

Dugu Wen looked at the soldiers covered in mud, wanting to cry without tears.

How should this battle be fought? Should it be fought?

Long Yuandong ordered all the soldiers to retreat to the camp to rest, and climbed the earthen wall with He Dali and Dugu Wen, standing for a long time without saying a word.

He vigorously broke the silence and asked, "What about the Gong Luoluo people, why haven't they come back yet?"

"I'm back early!" A figure suddenly appeared on the earthen wall, it was Gong Luoluo: "Okay, you guys attack head-on, and I'll be in charge of the surprise attack." Fortunately, the route I chose was far away, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money if I had been discovered by the deer cavalry. ”

Dugu Wen said: "Today's frustration is mainly due to two unexpected. One was that he didn't expect the deer cavalry to come and go in the swamp with incredible speed, and the other was that they didn't expect their steel crossbows to be quenched with poison. Hearing people's words, it is really insidious. ”

Long Yuandong said remorsefully: "To win a decisive victory on the battlefield, do everything you can, it doesn't matter whether it is insidious or not." The matter of the quenching of the steel crossbow should have been thought of a long time ago. First, Yun Tianjia had given us an antidote pill very early on, but we didn't pay attention to it; second, if the enemy's steel crossbow was not quenched, then there would be no lethality at all, so what was the point of forming the Deer Cavalry Army? I felt a little strange that the feather arrows of the Fengxiang Army had not been quenched before, so I was also a little careless. I didn't expect it to be waiting for us here. What a lesson. ”

"I checked it, and the poison on the steel crossbow contained musk, which diffused extremely quickly in the human body. Dugu Wen said: "But this poison is also very easy to dissolve, as long as you take Yun Tianjia's Jade Dew Blood Clearing Pill, you can be safe." However, since the deer cavalry can quench the spicy and diffusing fire poison, it can naturally quench other poisons. Or if the poison quenched by the deer cavalry army remains unchanged, and let the Fengxiang army quench the poison opposite to him on the arrow, it will be really troublesome. ”

"Therefore, if you don't break the deer cavalry army, it is impossible to take Niangniang Dam!" Gong Luoluo said categorically: "The number one obstacle now is the deer cavalry!"

He vigorously scratched his head and said: "But the deer cavalry is too fast, and he can't even see the shadow clearly, and he resolutely refuses to approach us, how can you break him?"

Long Yuandong lowered his head and frowned, pacing back and forth, muttering to himself: "Too fast? too fast? How to break?"
