Chapter 111: Night Ambush (Part II)

In the thick of night, a few miles away from Boulder Town, a Macedonian army was exploring the road with a small number of torches. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis army of several thousand men stretched for hundreds of meters on the not wide mountain road, but in the middle of the team was a cavalry team, but there were only less than a hundred people.

At the front of the cavalry was a tall, emaciated young man, surrounded by a number of Macedonian warriors, who were obviously of a different status. At this moment, he had an indifferent look on his face, waved his hand and said to an officer beside him, "Kakar, how is the situation?"

"Your Highness, I have arranged for the soldiers of the Sixth Corps to open the way ahead, and the route has been explored this afternoon, and after setting out tonight, we should be able to reach Sadrand by dawn tomorrow. ”

Farousi listened to Kakar talking, but his eyes kept falling in the direction of Boulder. Seeing this, Kakar immediately said, "Well, as for Boulder Town, I have sent a sentinel to investigate, but there is no movement. ”

The young nobleman snorted coldly and said in a deep voice: "These guys are so fearless, did they really get the news from Moxi Guan?" But soon he shook his head again, collected his thoughts, and said to Kakar on the side with a serious face:

"Order the whole army to march in a hurry, rush to Sadland in the starry night, and early tomorrow morning, gather the garrisons of the various counties, and join forces in the pass to support General Baselerus!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Kakar did not dare to delay, and ran directly to the front of the team. By this time the army had left the camp a short distance, and after passing through a field of woods, they entered the mountain road of the gorge.

The army was cut into a slender formation by the narrow mountain road, and Falusi looked at the valley in front of him, and suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the rear of the team, and immediately a soldier shouted to the hill behind him: "There are people in the rear! It's not our people, the enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking ......."

Falusi turned his head to look back, and in the night, a large number of pursuers with torches were approaching them from the rear of the army, but in terms of numbers, there should have been only a few hundred. The front team had already rushed down the hill and rushed towards them.

"Hmph, interesting! Could it be the ants in the city?" said Faluci with a cold smile and a deep sigh to the brute force warrior beside him:

"Pass on our military orders, prepare the whole army for battle, and meet the enemy backwards! Kill all these guys who are beyond their own strength!"

As soon as Falusi said this, Kakar also rushed back from the front of the team at this moment, and when he heard Falusi's words, while directing his soldiers, he shouted sternly: "Your Excellency has an order, the whole army is in combat readiness, stop marching, the front team becomes the rear team, and the formation is set up to meet the enemy!"

The quality of these Macedonian soldiers was indeed not low, and after an initial brief panic, the march was immediately stopped on the orders of Kakar. After all, they were all legions that had experienced a lot of battles, and the soldiers immediately entered a state of combat readiness, and the rear teams also automatically shrank their formations in order to resist the frontal onslaught of the enemy.

Soon, however, the soldiers realized that the number of enemy troops in the night was not large. The experienced veteran even looked at the number and formation of the enemy's torches, and immediately judged that this enemy army was probably only seven or eight hundred people! At this time, Kakar also sneered, it seems that these people should be the defenders of Boulder Town, and they found that they had retreated, so they hurriedly pursued, right?

When Kakar thought of this, he was even more disdainful in his heart, although these guys were delicate, and they found themselves retreating. But the quality of their army is too poor, and the generals have no brains, and the troops of only a few hundred people dare to chase them out of the city, as long as their army stops and concentrates the strength of a few thousand people, they can easily block the so-called "pursuit" of these guys!

The enemy's vanguard was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye they rushed down the mountain. At this time, Kakar was a little surprised, because the enemy army that rushed down first seemed to be a group of cavalry!

Kakar looked more closely, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat: by the light of the fire, he saw that these chasing cavalrymen, each of them was wearing heavy armor, and even several vital parts of the war horse were wrapped in armor. They all held a long iron-tipped spear in their hands, and from a distance, the formation of the entire cavalry team was like a sharp knife!

Damn, there are hundreds of heavy cavalry in these defenders of the Empire of Light!

"Rush down with Lao Tzu and kill all these Macedonians!"

In the darkness, the cavalry sprinted down the hill at a rapid pace. There was a roar from among the enemy troops, and the leading cavalry was none other than the fat Gould! Before the Macedonians could react, the neighing of the horses and the sound of iron hooves had reached the ears of the Macedonians.

"Shields!Defensive formations of the front team!Be sure to block their charge!!"

Kakar immediately gritted his teeth and shouted, and then galloped backwards. In the darkness, the Macedonian soldiers drew their shields and short spears one after another, and the front team had formed a formation of several hundred people. And at this moment, Gould's forward cavalry has already rushed to the front!

When Gould was at the tip of the blade, and when he was about to rush to the Macedonian army with a dozen paces, all the cavalry raised their spears in their hands, and the sharp tips of their spears pointed straight at the Macedonian soldiers at the front!

The soldier only felt the ground trembling violently in front of him. Then there was a dull crashing sound in the night, and the cavalry suddenly slammed into the Macedonian soldiers' line!

The first thing the Macedonian soldiers felt was the spear in the hand of the cavalry, and with the help of the charging power of the horse and the mountain, the spear in the hand of the cavalry directly penetrated the defense line of the Macedonians!

The front row of shields was as fragile as papier-mΓ’chΓ© under such terrifying power. After the spear penetrated the shield, it did not stop at all, and the powerful impact force made the spear continue to go deeper, directly stabbing the Macedonian soldiers behind the shield!

In just one shot, the shield defense line of the hundreds of Macedonian soldiers at the forefront was broken! The spears in the hands of each cavalryman stabbed fiercely into the crowd of Macedonian soldiers, and some cavalrymen even pierced the bodies of several Macedonian soldiers, and a spear was like a string of gourds!

The Macedonian soldiers outside the line were either killed by this wave of charge, or were trampled and charged by the cavalry that arrived later. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people died in this wave of impact!

In the darkness of the night, the screams and roars mixed with the neighing of the horses immediately caused a violent commotion among the Macedonian army!

Kakar, who supervised the battle, ignored the chaos and roared loudly: "Don't mess up, stabilize me, they don't have many cavalry! Adjutant, lead someone to Lao Tzu to hold up the gap!" )
