The overall landform of the Silver Bird Hill is like a rolling concave basin, and the hilly undulating hills, like layers of turbulent waves, are squeezed by the earth towards the north, and stretch to the edge entrance of the Silver Bird Hill, the undulating woodland, and some low cliffs full of holes, are the favorite environment of the Silver Sparrows

For the creatures of nature that inhabit here, Silver Bird Hill is a very pleasant and quiet place, if it is a sunny day, the bright sun shines through the shade here, the sky is so pure, the sun is so brilliant, the cheerful silver finches are like a fairy tale, across the sky of Silver Bird Hill, and finally perched on the hibernation cliff of Silver Bird Hill, even in winter, the trees of the hills are still very lush, the color is thick and the hills are undulating outside the embankment, the structure is distinct, and the bright grass between the ups and downs of the hills forms a good contrast,

If it is a rainy night, the rustle of raindrops on the leaves is enough to move people with a moist intoxication, such a place, for any living creature of nature, is a kind of intoxicating beauty,

But for Reposti, who was standing on the side of the road in Silver Bird Hill, the life and death of the 20,000-strong army would also be settled on this rainy night tonight, his stout body stood on a high place, letting the raindrops hit his body, flowing down the smooth armor to the ground, surrounded by the sound of raindrops hitting the bushes in the woods, Reposti looked at the sky, the rain was obviously lighter than just now,

The lightning overhead, still flashing one after another, the silver light chaotically streaked across the sky, and also made the scene below light up for a few seconds from time to time, and then fell into darkness, and then lit up again,

From where Reposti was located, it was clear that the route of the slowly departing expeditionary force was being seen. The Normandian pursuers pressed up from behind almost without hesitation, and the sound of horses' hooves came from the opposite side of the mountain road, and in the rainy night, like the sound of countless huge waves crashing against the cliff wall being smashed, with a loud noise, countless cavalry in black armor surged out of the mountain pass like a flood that broke the levee under the light of lightning, dense like a black cloud rushing in

"It seems that your temporary change plan is right!"

The sight of lightning made Deputy Legion Commander Aglins take a deep breath of cold air beside him. He said with a solemn look on his face." If, according to the previous plan, a full-scale battle is launched at the Silver Bird Hill, it is likely that we will not even have the opportunity to retreat to the Silver Bird Mountain, as can be seen from the movements of these Normandy cavalry who have poured into the mountain pass, although the Normandy cavalry that has entered now is less than half of them, but they have begun to spread out to the flanks impatiently, obviously waiting until the main force has all passed through the narrow entrance, and then launch a full-scale siege attack on the target in front, and the exhausted expeditionary force is even tenacious. In such a situation, it must be a dead end!"

"Hehe, this can probably be regarded as God's blessing," Reposti smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "If it weren't for your temporary change and evacuation from Baiqiu, I would be afraid or wouldn't have thought of this layer, although I never believed in fate." But tonight's victory, God's gift to us, without this rain, without this darkness. Tens of thousands of troops are actually ambushing in this kind of bush that is only waist-high, and no one will believe it even if they say it!"

"So. This time we will win!" Jarrins nodded in agreement, and said with some hesitation, "It's that the troops who served as the blockade suffered some big losses!" In any case, after all, they are only some recruits who have not been on the battlefield, they have not experienced the tempering of brutal and bloody battles, nor have they had the experience of fighting against the enemy's cavalry clusters, to be honest, if it were not for their resoluteness, I would never agree, even so, I am still a little worried about how many people will survive in the decoy troops in front of the Normandy cavalry once our army is fully attacked!"

"Since they have chosen to become soldiers of the Empire, this is a lesson they must learn!" Reposti's eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster, and he snorted heavily, "You and I are not the nannies of the expeditionary force, and the expeditionary force is not here for sightseeing,

Although they have the conditions to become excellent warriors, brave, tenacious, bloody, and brave to sacrifice, they lack the same, that is, the military soul that the imperial army should have, only the real cruel battlefield can fully release the blood and courage in their hearts, so that they can truly find their own military soul, they are the avengers of their own people, and they are also the conquerors of the empire, they must learn that there is no victory without sacrifice!"

"It's just...... Isn't this too cruel!" Yagrin said with an ugly look on his face, "Is it cruel?" Reposti glanced at him meaningfully, and then said, "Rather than waiting until they are in the real battle of life and death, to discover their fatal weakness, it is better to let them get the exercise they deserve in this tragic but only forward battle, only the troops who dare to face up to blood and sacrifice are the real soldiers that the empire needs, and they are qualified to face the main Normandian force behind, not a half-finished product!" Order the teams to prepare to attack, this time, I will completely crush them!"

He strangled the irascible war horse with his hand, his eyes swept over the darkness in front of him, and then he looked up at the sky, and the lightning streaked, illuminating his face, and making his chilling triangular eyes narrow into a line,

I don't know why, he always felt that there was a strange cold on the rainy night tonight, or that the thunder and lightning overhead were too frequent, so that he felt a little upset, this feeling was like a kind of inner depression and grievance, and he urgently needed to vent it.

With the same number of cavalry, against the same number of infantry, he was entangled for more than 2 hours, such a record is not a victory worth celebrating for Naomu, who has always been conceited.

And what made him feel unbearable the most was that he found that in his heart, he actually had a kind of admiration for those lowly and cowardly Salander people, and in a certain way, he had to admit that these Salander people were definitely worthy of the title of warrior!

And this feeling is not just him. but on all the Normandy soldiers who fought tonight,

If it had been before, the Normandy cavalry would have rushed forward in a swarm, chopped up and killed all these exhausted Salanders, and then cut off their heads and strung them in front of the war horses as a capital to show off.

But now, all the Normandy cavalry chose to be silent, and they stopped their horses' hooves in a whole column and discharged a huge shock fan. The Normandy cavalry on their horses focused on a complex gaze at the Salanders who were still standing in the mud not far ahead,

The Salanders were all wounded, some of them even struggling to stand, but they held each other up, supporting each other with all their strength, heavy rain and mud. Let them be like frozen statues, no one chooses to run away in panic, no one chooses to kneel on the ground cowardly and beg for mercy, they just stand. Waiting for the Normandy cavalry with eyes and broken weapons: "Is this still human?"

The eyes of the Norman cavalry were filled not only with the bloodthirsty slaughter, but also with something called respect, the lowly and cowardly Salanders in their hearts. At this moment, he looked more like a warrior, "Prepare to attack on the horizon!

"Brush" in the sound of metal colliding. The spears of the Normandy cavalry began to be erected in a row, a Normandy cavalryman hesitated, and at the moment of erecting the spear, his spear was slightly pointed downward, his move attracted the attention of many Normandy cavalrymen, and for a while some muffled chattering voices came up, and a strange atmosphere spread in the Normanish cavalry ranks "Harrison, what are you doing!"

A Norman cavalry captain ran over in a rage, struck the soldier on the armor with his horsewhip, and whispered, "Are you doing a warrior's salute to these cowardly Salanders?" "My lord, I have only enemies in my eyes, and there are no Salanders!" the Normandy cavalry replied with a stern expression, "Or they may be Salanders, but now they are the enemies we need to do our best, and this is worthy of such courtesy!"

"You'll be severely punished for it!"

The Normandy cavalry captain scolded indignantly, at this time, the order for a full-scale attack from above was also issued, and the entire queue began to move forward, the Normandy cavalry captain did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ran back to the far left of the queue where he should be, because once a full-scale charge was launched, the entire queue would be on par with him,

"Advance, crush them!" the whistling of the Normandy cavalry came like a tidal wave,

In the darkness not far away, a glimmer of imperviable light pierced the black night sky, it was a red point of light, a torch penetrated with crude oil, even in the rain, it still burned very brightly, and the raindrops hit it, making a soft crackling sound, and the person who lifted this torch was none other than Reposti

"Behold, what is that?"

A marching Norman cavalry pointed to the fire point in the distance and said, "It should be a torch!" His companion replied with some dissatisfaction, but soon, his mouth that had not been completely closed stiffened, and I saw that where the fire appeared, countless circular points of light, like rising stars, tumbled down from the heights of the hills on both sides, with a hellish ball of light, and smashed heavily on the dense position of the front queue, "Attention, there is an ambush!"

The front team of Normans resounded with an exclamation, and suddenly became a mess, and in a short period of time, the fireballs that rolled down from both sides rolled down all the way down from the heights, and finally scattered and shattered in the violent impact, and the scattered sparks made dozens of nearby cavalry be contaminated,

The demonic flames quickly burned from their tainted positions, turning both men and horses into fireballs, emitting a series of terrible and miserable screams, and the ignited war horses were running in all directions, and the entire queue was completely disrupted, "This...... How could it be!" Naomu, who was in the back team, was completely stupid as he looked at the whining fireballs rolling down on both sides, and he pinched his thighs fiercely, he couldn't figure out how these fireballs were ignited in such a majestic rain?

Well, even if it was barely ignited, why did it still burn so violently, even if it was sprinkled by the rain, it had no intention of stopping, but quickly expanded, cutting his cavalry into several pieces

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Naomu would have wanted to slap himself twice. Let himself wake up from this nightmare early, the roaring fire shines on his frightened face, and the raindrops also hit his cheeks with a biting cold, one cold and one hot, all reminding him that this is not a dream, this is a real battlefield,

This qiē changed too quickly, completely out of his common sense, just this moment. Hundreds of fireballs dragging their long smoke tails shrouded the front and squadron of their own cavalry, and the Normandy cavalry with a total of more than 6,000 people, rolling down the fireballs with fire and explosion like a huge circle of light, spreading the gorgeous petals of death on the earth, a qiē like a dream, and extremely tragic, his entire front team was completely chaotic, "Quick." Order the front team to withdraw!" Zhimu shouted loudly to the herald cavalry behind him, but before he could finish his shouting, he saw countless figures pouring out as if by magic on the top of the hill where the fireball had just rolled down. "Kill!" Tens of thousands of archers of the expeditionary force who were ambushed on both sides stood up neatly, countless cold lights were like torrential rain pouring down from the flat lines of the hills on both sides, and the points of light covered the sky of the narrow mountain road, and the flames were still burning below. The position of the Normandy cavalry had long been seen at a glance, and the Normandy cavalry panicked in the flames under the heavy blows of the archers. It's like hitting an invisible giant scythe, falling off the warhorse, "Ahhhh

The war horse with the arrow threw the cavalry above out in pain, the powerful impact of the crossbow arrow made the war horse with the arrow run uncontrollably, the Normandy cavalry rolling on the ground, trampled into minced meat by the chaotic horse hooves, the Normandy cavalry who were caught off guard kept falling down like harvested wheat straw, and the sound of the strong bowstring vibrating even made the whole space shake.

It was a very strange feeling, like the air was boiling at this moment, if you didn't experience it, it would be hard to imagine the feeling of tens of thousands of bowstrings trembling and tearing at the same moment, how shocking it was, the meteors formed by the metal, flashing with chilling light in the air, and then turned into a whistling rain of death, often the Normandy cavalry in front of them had just fallen off their horses, and the crossbow arrows falling from the sky fell from the top of many Normandy cavalry who fell to the ground and were wounded, shooting these Normandy cavalry who were not dead, or who were glad that they had escaped, into hedgehogs full of arrows, "Help!" The screams and screams of the wounded soldiers rolling in the flames and blood often turned into a chilling silence at this moment, and the corpses all over the ground were soaked in the rain and slipped into the mud, and the bright red human blood dyed the mud on the ground into a color.

"Rush up, if you don't want to die, rush up!"

In the panic, surrounded by flames in front and back, some Normandy cavalry began to blindly charge towards the low hills on both sides, and they were greeted by iron-headed giant arrows more than one meter long shot by ballistas, and crossbow arrows made of pure metal, so that these Normandy cavalry were like a string of gourds, flying directly out of the war horses and rolling down on the ground behind, and the huge arrows were deeply inserted into the ground with the corpses of the cavalry,

Under the heavy rain, countless small red streams of water flowed along the ravines between the soil, "Encircle, not a single one is left!" Reposti, who was coldly surveying the battlefield, snorted, he already felt that the vanguard cavalry of the Normans was crucified here by himself,

As the torches were raised again, the main forces of the expedition on both sides began to compress to the middle, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force who "killed" countless expeditionary forces jumped out from both sides, and everywhere was filled with terrible shocking sounds, spears and arrows as dense as a forest, and once again fiercely bombarded the soulless Normandy cavalry, like waves crashing on the hard rock wall, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red, and the sound of "puff puff" spears piercing into the body and broken bones rose one after another in the raindrops, which was the waves of flesh and screams in the killing.

The morale-boosting expeditionary force pressed with all its strength without reservation, compared to the completely helpless Normandy cavalry, and the dense gun array stabbed the Normandy cavalry in a semi-panic state to death.

The mass death of the main force made the rear team's Zhimu see blood in his eyes, but there was no way, he had never encountered such a grievance, looking at the corpses of his subordinates, layer by layer piled up on the road in front, and the blood bubbled into a small river, but all he could do was regret and scolding here,

But this is the war, under the all-out ambush of the other side, except for the 1,000 cavalry in the rear, the other 6,000 people are basically all trapped, and if reinforcements are forced, the final result will inevitably be that none of them will survive

"Your Excellency, the front team and squadron have all been wiped out, please evacuate immediately."

Covered in blood and dejected, the captain of the Normandy cavalry escort ran over with a rolling belt, he was lying on top of the pile of dead people and pretending to be dead, taking advantage of people's inattention, and crawled quietly all the way, so that no one noticed him, and even if it wasn't for his own words, Zhimu wouldn't have recognized him

"Do you just give up?"

Zhimu's eyes flashed with a hint of dazedness, in the distance of the ring of fire, the remnants of severed limbs abounded, bright red blood seeped into the soil, dense large and small rings of fire still burning, mountains of corpses, short swords and remnants of spears inserted in the battlefield, broken spears and heavy swords everywhere, the corpses of his own subordinates and horses piled up, and the black enemies poured over like the tide

"My lord, if you don't leave, it's too late!" the captain of the guard said that he came back from his trance,

Naomu took one last look at the battlefield full of corpses, closed his eyes for a moment, and then shouted angrily, "Everyone come with me, get out of the mountain road!" (To be continued.) )
