Chapter 336: Turning the Tide
Due to the speed of the advance, the trebuchets had not yet kept up, and the light around the north gate was dim and unclear, making it impossible to clearly judge the size of the enemy outside the city. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The human soldiers were all panicked and panicked.
"Hold on to the spot and don't retreat!" the officer shouted hoarsely as he resisted the rain of arrows.
Nearly half of the soldiers who participated in the war were reservists and well-trained, but when they encountered difficulties, they immediately exposed a huge gap with those who were old.
When the battle was going well, they rushed more bravely than anyone else, but after being attacked, they immediately subconsciously retreated, like a tide blocked by a dam, and rolled back in waves.
This change in psychology caused the attack formation of the human legion to begin to distort.
Xiao Lei could see clearly that the battle situation had reached the most delicate moment. Panic is easily contagious, and once it spreads, there will be an irreversible rout, and the enemy outside the city will immediately take advantage of the situation to counterattack.
At this time, almost all the military strength of the human race was piled up in Tamu City, and more than 100,000 soldiers were like being in a huge pocket, and the mouth of the bag was in front of them, but the retreat behind was blocked by the southern city wall, and the small southern city gate could not accommodate more than 100,000 soldiers retreating.
To retreat is to die!
What worries Xiao Lei even more is that the vampire legion from the ice field has a considerable number of cavalry, and once these cavalry take advantage of the chaos of the human legion to charge, it will be a nightmare for the entire human legion. At this moment, the enemy outside the city, under the cover of a rain of arrows, had already begun to clear the passage after the collapse of the city wall, apparently in preparation for the onslaught of cavalry.
Time is running out to turn the tide of battle, and every bit counts!
Xiao Lei gritted his teeth, pulled out his waist knife with a pout, and shouted: "Warriors of Northern Xinjiang, our strength is several times that of the enemy, kill it with me, and the victory belongs to us!"
However, his passionate call was not responded to by a few people at all, Xiao Lei was furious, stepped forward, but was repeatedly blocked, simply used the back of the knife to slash a few people, and finally grabbed a soldier-like Northern Frontier soldier, and shouted: "Soft egg, bring your people, and rush with Lao Tzu!"
The officer wanted to get angry, but when he saw a general in front of him, he argued hoarsely: "General, I'm not a soft egg, my people have been scattered!"
Xiao Lei scolded fiercely, and said fiercely: "Then you, follow Lao Tzu to kill it!"
The officer was stunned, scolded hatefully, and followed Xiao Leima's ass with a knife.
Xiao Lei caught people all the way, with the officer squad as the core, the team expanded exponentially, and hundreds of people were brought up in an instant!
With this scolding team taking the lead, a stable area actually appeared near the north city gate, like a reef in the countercurrent, so that the inverted wave suddenly formed a whirlpool around the reef, no longer retreating, gradually condensing, this whirlpool is getting bigger and bigger, and the position is getting closer and closer to the forward position.
Xiao Lei was overjoyed, as long as there were more than a dozen zhang, he would be able to charge!
However, this remarkable change immediately attracted the attention of the enemy, and the rain of arrows immediately poured towards Xiao Lei. The enemy's strategy is simple, whoever dares to come out will be destroyed!
The arrows clanged against their shields, and the infantrymen who had lost their shields could only hunch their bodies and hide behind the others, and the soldiers kept screaming and falling to the ground.
Xiao Lei cursed, he had already given up on the war horse, and a scimitar was like a round shield, constantly shooting down the arrows in front of him.
A living force that had been formed with great difficulty was blocked by this, and Xiao Lei was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. Not far away, the neighing of war horses could already be heard, which was a harbinger of the imminent departure of the enemy's cavalry, and the other side obviously did not want to see the balance of victory reversed a little.
"Little Snow Maiden, go find Lord Monton and ask him to send cavalry over, and send cavalry over immediately!" Xiao Lei yelled, but no one responded. Xiao Lei glanced left and right, but found that he had lost Nalan Xiaoxue's figure, he was taken aback, under the danger of the soldiers, could it be that Xiaoxue girl had already ...... That's the Duke's fiancée, and the Duke has repeatedly told her to take care of her......
Xiao Lei was frightened, and suddenly a figure fell, right in front of his eyes. I saw that the other party's helmet had long been lost, revealing cloud-like hair, and a slight bead of sweat secreted from the tip of his nose, which was the disappeared Nalan Xiaoxue.
Xiao Lei was ecstatic, and before he could speak, he heard Nalan Xiaoxue say quickly: "General, let people open the passage immediately, you must be fast!" After speaking, she pointed to the back.
Xiao Lei followed the line of sight, cavalry! It's cavalry! He immediately pulled over several officers beside him, waved his hand, made a gesture of separation, and shouted: "The cavalry is coming, our cavalry is coming, open the way, open the way immediately!"
Before the passage was fully formed, the human cavalry had already begun to accelerate, as they found that the cavalry of the vampire legion outside the city would also be launched, and the battle for time was the key to victory!
The human cavalry rushed towards the vast and chaotic infantry legion like arrows off the string. If they collided, it would cause unimaginably heavy casualties for both cavalry and infantry. At this moment, the huge reef formed in the countercurrent of the northern city finally split, and from south to north, along the direction of the cavalry arrow, a narrow passage quickly formed.
In the passage, the cavalry passed without hindrance.
"Orc grandma, if I slow down by half a step, the yolk will be knocked out by these bastards!" said one of the officers, feeling the wind of the cavalry.
"You're content! it's better to be knocked out than to be put into a hornet's nest!" another officer teased.
"Put your beast girl's shit, Lao Tzu...... Lao Tzu ......" The officer suddenly couldn't go on, his eyes looked straight ahead, and he suddenly raised his head and said, "Lao Tzu...... I'm a scholar, so I won't be as knowledgeable as a rough guy like you!"
The other officer turned his head to look at it, and was speechless. I saw a few steps away, a girl dressed in a captain's uniform but bright as a flower appeared. Accompanying the girl was the ruthless and domineering General Xiao Lei.
"A flower is stuck in cow dung!" the canceled officer pouted quietly.
"You want to die! That's General Xiao Lei, who was born in the wolf cavalry camp and the big man in the Governor's Mansion Guard's Battalion, and he is very capable!" The other officer looked envious, but sighed in a low voice: "But you are also right, although General Xiao Lei is okay, but with this fairy-like woman, it is really ...... Alas!"
As they were talking, they suddenly saw Xiao Lei raise his head, and his majestic gaze swept over, revealing a terrifying murderous intent, and the two of them shrank their heads in fright.
"You bastards, why don't you hurry up and follow behind the horse's ass to pick up credit, stay here and embarrass Lao Tzu!" Xiao Lei roared angrily.
The crowd hurriedly carried knives and went out of the city.
"Little Snow Maiden, don't listen to those bastards talking nonsense!" Xiao Lei quickly explained.
Nalan Xiaoxue pursed her lips and said with a light smile: "General Xiao Lei, why don't you go out of the city to kill the enemy?"
Xiao Lei's head shook like a rattle, and he said loudly: "I have decided, from now on, until the Duke returns, I will be your personal guard of Little Snow Maiden!
This is his sincere words, because Xiao Lei found that the seemingly weak girl in front of him actually has an extremely clever strategic and tactical vision, whether it is the prediction of the situation in Tamu City, or the act of coordinating the cavalry attack, it is very prescient!
Such a girl with both beauty and wisdom is the fiancée of Lord Duke, even if you attach great importance to it, you can't overstate it!
