1379 The East Wind Rises (7)
Azhna chose the grassy knoll a mile east of the city,
Several horsemen in red armor on horseback were in the waist-high grass, looking at the place where black smoke came out of the city of Arina in the distance, and in front of them was a young man in the eastern courtyard wearing the general's armor, "Lord Angelo, the western army has broken through the city gate, it seems that the patriarch's plan is very smooth" A cavalryman from the eastern court looked into the distance, excitedly raised the horse whip in his hand, and said to the young general in front, "It's not that simple!" Angelo looked at the black-armored archers of the Western Army who rushed into the city gate in the distance, shook his head with a slightly pale face, and said, " This Bokabik is indeed as brave as the rumors, but unfortunately, it is also as rumored, a tendon to the end, he doesn't want to think about it, although the black armor archers are strong, but after all, the number is limited, this is not a vast grassland, even if they rush into the city, what can the black armor archers do, the dense houses and streets of the city are the nightmare of any cavalry unit, the black armor archers are not as good as the well-equipped heavy infantry in that environment, unless there are infantry to follow, otherwise this attack can only end in retreat"
"Your Excellency, do you mean that the Western Army's attack on Arinaze has failed?" the cavalryman asked curiously
"It can be said that it is a pity, so many black-armored archers, if they are placed in my Eastern Army...... Pity...... I can only say that the fortune of the eldest princess is really eye-catching," the young general of the Eastern Army smashed his mouth meaningfully, feeling quite regretful,
Unlike the huge difference in equipment between the various ethnic groups in the Western Army, the troops of the Eastern Army are closer to unification, and because of this, it is naturally impossible to specially equip the black-armored archers that require a lot of manpower and material resources, which is also where Angelo sighed.
A black-armored archer of 3,000 people is at least equal to the equipment of 15,000 Eastern Court cavalry, not to mention 3,000 fine war horses that only eat fine grains. For the grassland people who are short of food, it is simply a bottomless pit,
"It's a pity to give up like this!" Several cavalrymen of the Eastern Army shook their heads regretfully, "Everyone get ready, let's go back immediately, the mess here will be handed over to Bokalis of the Western Army to clean up by himself! We don't have so much time to spend here, the main force of the army is still waiting for our response ten miles away."
Angelo turned his horse's head on his horse, looked at the sky in the distance, and said to himself, "Maybe it's really the Khan's protection of the Golden Clan!" The only unaffected black-armored archers were pulled out separately at such a critical moment, too many coincidences made this battle have no suspense, the attack of the Western Army has failed, but unfortunately we also secretly helped the Western Army, and wasted a great opportunity, but the Western Army suffered a defeat under the city of Arina, and it was the time when our Eastern Army rose in one fell swoop under the leadership of Lord Dagon."
"Yes, my lord"
The cavalry of the Eastern Army replied with an impassioned look behind him. "What a strangeness!" Angelo asked, hearing a cavalryman's bewildered curiosity, "What's the matter?"
"Since you have rushed into the city gates, why have you not seen anyone rushing out, have they all been devoured?" said the cavalryman, turning his head to him
"What did you say?" said the cavalryman. Angelo, who was already preparing to return, turned around suddenly, looked at the location of the city gate again, and suddenly the whole person was stunned
From a high place, I saw the smoke and dust rolled up by three thousand black-armored archers rushing into the sky. The black steel torrent poured into the city gate like a flood, but at the other end of the 30-meter-long city road, there was not a single shadow of the black-armored archers rushing out.
This strange scene, as if the city gate was a big and huge mouth, swallowed all the black-armored archers who rushed in, but soon, as soon as the answer was unraveled, I saw that the charge of the black-armored archers suddenly stopped, and even irrepressibly appeared in chaos, and the black-armored archers had to stop.
Arrows flew on the city walls on both sides, under the cover of the rain of arrows, the arrows in the war horses neighed, and the black-armored cavalry full of arrows rolled on the ground, rolling between the hooves of the war horses, and the bright red human blood mixed along the way, forming a layer of dark red mud, like a huge dark red swamp, staggered, twisted, and tangled in the position of the city gate...... "My God, what's wrong?"
The soldiers of the Western Army were stunned one by one, the manifestation of the Khan King in front had shaken the hearts of the army, and everyone was frightened, and then saw such a scene at this moment, even the tribal leaders of the Western Army, their hearts were also sinking rapidly, in the hot June, the tribal leaders felt the coldness of the cold wind in winter, this battle could not be fought, and it was known as a miracle that was rare in a hundred years, when did it become so cheap, and did it still make people live, the tribal leaders of the Western Army wanted to cry, they knew this, so they would not come to this troubled water, "Turn back! This is a dead end!" “
In the dark city road where there was no light in sight, Bokabik had his head scattered, and the helmet of the hideous mask did not know where it flew, and the armor on his body was torn several times, and he was touching the wall, and he shouted with all his might,
The situation changed so quickly that he was completely unprepared,
Inside the dark city gate, there was not the slightest light, and the black-armored archers felt like they had rushed into an independent dark space.
Under normal circumstances, the length of the city gate passage is only about ten meters away, but the city gate arch of Arina is built according to the specifications of the royal court, and there are three connected arches, representing the three tents of the Khan, so the distance of the city road is more than 20 meters than the ordinary city road
Originally, the rumbling sound of the horse's hooves hit everyone's eardrums like a drum in the closed doorway, and suddenly there was a chaotic metallic sound, mixed with screams, constantly coming from the inner passage of the city gate, and the black-armored archers who rushed into the city gate were chaotic, as if they were swept by a pair of invisible hidden hands, and the black-armored archers turned over on their backs.
The first thing Bocabic thought of was that there was an ambush, and he looked shocked and wanted to pull the galloping war horse, but it was too late.
Behind him, countless black-armored cavalry rolled in, not giving any room for the people in front of him to stop, under the heavy and violent impact of the war horse, the black-armored archers who hit the wall and fell off the horse in front were crushed again, and it was this 20 meters that seemed to make little difference, which became a nightmare for black-armored archers,
By the time Bokabik discovered this anomaly, he had no choice but to turn his head, and he saw the horse galloping in behind him directly knocking one of his guards out of the air, knocking down more people in front of him like a bowling ball.
At that moment, the first fierce general of the Western Army, who was close to the inner side of the city road and escaped by luck, lost his blood color with fright, and the sound of brittle bones cracked, mixed with painful screams and abuse, the entire inner road of the city gate was like an invisible massacre in the dark.
The cavalry behind continued to rush in, pressing the people and horses in front of them on the heavy stones in front like squeezing the membrane cake, the huge impact made the bright red human blood explode on the wall, and the broken flesh and bones scattered together, even if it was a heavy war horse, it could not withstand many collisions, in an extremely limited space, the miserable horse song was like the leather torn by a naughty child, and countless corpses were paralyzed on the ground like broken sacks, that feeling, just like the legendary oil extraction, every time, what was splashed out was human blood,
The black-armored archers who rushed in first were crushed into the darkness where they couldn't see anything clearly by their companions in an irresistible situation, which was terrible! The chaos was not until ten minutes later, because the inside of the city gate could no longer be stuffed with more people and horses, and the entire inner road of the city gate was covered with blood, and even flowed down the slope from the entrance of the city gate, forming a shocking blood waterfall, at least more than 200 cavalry and war horses, in this chaotic collision with each other, were squeezed into indistinguishable minced meat,
In the darkness, nothing could be seen, and all kinds of mournful sounds were heard in my ears, and when I lifted my feet and stepped on them, there was a feeling of stamping like muddy feet, and the strong smell of disgusting blood undoubtedly indicated that these were a mixture of human flesh and horse meat
"It's ...... Have you blocked the inner passage of the city gate?"
The strange scene at the city gate also made Rui Tang Tingna above stunned there, looking at the black-armored archers who retreated from the entrance of the city gate below, Princess Dongting, who had a cold look just now, snorted out laughing, revealing a touch of relief, and laughed at the corners of her mouth, "Who came up with this method!"
It can be imagined how miserable the encounter of the black-armored archers who rushed in front was miserable, not to mention colliding with the hard stones in the dark, and being squeezed heavily on the stones by the companions behind, it is estimated that even if they are not killed, more than half of them are disabled!
Udae Ibisa said with some embarrassment beside him, "Her Royal Highness the princess is really wise, so quickly guessed the layout of her subordinates, and when her subordinates found that the drawbridge had fallen, they ran to strengthen the city gate in a panic, and they happened to see a large number of stones piled up at the city gate to repair the city wall.
As soon as his subordinates had an idea, they immediately organized people to use these stones to pile up on the spot, temporarily forming a wall to block the passage to the outside of the city gate, and also made people pull out all the torches that could light the road, which is also a fluke" Udae Episa's voice stopped, wiped the beads of sweat on his head, and smiled, "I didn't expect the effect to be so good, the enemy actually rushed in like this, and as a result, he hit his head on the stone wall at the end of the city road, I believe that at this moment, there must be a lot of casualties in the city road" "I see!" Rui Tang Tingna nodded, no wonder there was almost no reaction to the position of the city gate at first,
It is believed that at that time, Udae Ibiza was directing people to carry stones below,
Glancing at the black-armored archers below who were constantly falling in the cluster of arrows, Rui Tang Tingna's eyes also couldn't suppress a trace of dazedness,
The most elite troops on the steppe turned out to be such an ending (to be continued. )
