Chapter 571: Trench Trap
Whether it was the cavalry troops of the border army commanded by Cassius or the elite of the royal capital led by Mites, the attack on the rebel camp was overwhelming at this time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
They have been so aggrieved these days, they have been blocked by a group of ragged farmers at the door, and some time ago there was news of the fall everywhere.
This made the soldiers of the Imperial Army hold their breath, eager to teach these farmers a lesson, so that they can see what it means to be a soldier.
They were sure that victory was firmly in their hands, and the cries and cries for help were continuous, but the leaders all fled.
Who will save these poor peasants? The terrible fighting continues, and the humble lives of the people are reduced to ashes like grass mustard.
However, just when Mites thought that he was about to complete the total suppression, the invincible cavalry in front of him suddenly disappeared!
You must know that there is a plain area in front of you, which is a taboo arranged as a military camp, and it is most conducive to the rapid sprint of their cavalry.
Under normal circumstances, the cavalry should easily crush the past, and it is really unbelievable that it suddenly disappears out of thin air!
"What's going on? The people in front of you...... No, just these peasants, they are obviously completely scattered, all stop, stop!"
Mites, who thought that he had a chance to win, immediately caught this, and he suddenly had a bad premonition that he was excited, and cold sweat seeped down his forehead.
He hurriedly grabbed the reins and ordered his cavalry to stop immediately, there was an accident ahead, and he must be cautious and not careless.
Even if he was in an absolute advantage now, he knew that this was the only way he could make up for the previous mistake of the Griffon Fortress, and there was no room for error.
"This is...... The trenches are dug so neatly, and there are traps in the trenches, it can't have been dug by the peasants, and we haven't had any information in advance that they have laid out these fortifications, oops, is it the same thing over there? What is going on?"
Mites grabbed the reins in time and stopped where the cavalry in front of him had disappeared, only to see a trench at least four men high below.
The war horses failed to cross in time, and all of them fell into the trench, and the trench was full of various sharp weapons, which directly pierced the belly of the war horse.
Naturally, the cavalry on horseback was not spared, and even if there were still those who had not breathed, how difficult it was to climb out, and who could take care of them?
"Sir, and over there, the brothers over there have also been recruited, digging these trenches is not a small project, those farmers will never be able to do it!"
Mites's men immediately alerted that on the other side of the battlefield, quite a few cavalry had fallen into the same trench, and the large force had stopped.
Apparently the trenches had halted their sprint, the first defeat they had suffered since they had entered the camp, and an ominous premonition arose.
"If it's not a farmer digging it, that's ...... But didn't the Far Eastern Army fall out with these rebels? This doesn't make sense. ”
Another staff officer objected, saying that they had made full preparations for a military conference before the war, but that accidents had occurred in the course of the war.
The fortifications were not expected by them, and the battlefield was changing rapidly, and once the first accident appeared, the next one might be ......
"Look over there, there's a cavalry unit rushing over there, already engaged with Chief Kaxiu's border army!
Mites' men pointed into the distance, and the two cavalry units began to collide, invading each other into each other's formations and fighting each other.
Now the situation is very chaotic, and they can't figure out where the troops are coming from, and what each other's combat power is, they are completely confused.
"Is it the Far Eastern cavalry? But it will take a considerable amount of time to get over from the Trident Valley, and there is no way for them to be faster than us, and if they can arrive in time in this case, there is only one indication of the situation, that is, they have laid an ambush nearby and waited for us in advance?"
Mitters calmly analyzed the battle situation, and bad speculations began to spread in his mind, which made his heart chuckle, and the plan began to fall through.
"We can't manage so much now, sir, let's kill and support immediately, the combined force of the two armies can definitely defeat them!"
The staff officer immediately suggested that, judging from the silhouette of the fire in the distance, the two cavalry units were in a struggle, while they penetrated deep into the heart.
There is no point in continuing to hunt down these incapable farmers, it is better to move over and join forces to defeat the Far Eastern cavalry that had been ambushed in advance.
"Wait a minute, we seem to be in trouble now, we can't leave calmly, those farmers don't look right......"
Just as Mitters was about to wave his army to help, he soon realized that a group of farmers in front of him looked very strangely behaved.
Under normal circumstances, the farmer would have fled in such a chaotic situation, and who would stop and fight for nothing?
Choosing to flee in the face of the fear of an enemy invasion is an instinctive reaction of the body, and it is not possible to overcome this unless it has undergone rigorous training.
The group of farmers not far in front of them not only did not have the slightest fear, but looked at them with some excitement, their eyes blazing like raging fire.
"Hehe, have you finally found out? We're no ordinary farmers, and it's been hard to lurk among these farmers these days. ”
A tall farmer came over, he looked to be twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a strong physique, tall and handsome, and very imposing.
However, the way he looked didn't match his tattered and thin clothes at all, and it seemed that he realized this and began to change his clothes.
Not only him, but also a large number of strong, sharp-eyed farmers behind him also began to change their clothes, which were different from their usual civilian clothes.
They were dressed in heavy iron armor, and when the iron armor was draped over them, the peasants were all transformed.
Coupled with the spears they picked up from the ground and quickly formed formations in a very fast time, they transformed into the most elite warriors in a short period of time!
However, there was a trench between them and the cavalry under Mites, and the cavalry could not rush over the trench, so they could only watch them change into iron armor, and these proud Imperial soldiers began to have a bad feeling, especially Mites, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his palms were full of sweat.
Because he knew the tall, handsome man who spoke, and they had only dealt with each other not long ago.
That guy is a general in the Far Eastern Army, and Jason, who has the name of "Iron Armor"!
