Chapter 292 Prairie Chase, Timely Rescue
The movements of the pursuers in the rear quickly attracted Silan's attention, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.
The cavalry of the Morkhanate is numerous, and now the opposing formation is spread out, not just to outflank and intercept.
At this moment, the steppe cavalry chasing after had already begun to move.
Maintaining the posture of galloping horses, the steppe cavalry quickly bent their bows and arrows one by one.
In the next second, an almost overwhelming rain of arrows swept directly towards them!
That's right, the scattered formation, at the same time, increased the range of their arrow rain.
"Everyone speed up, watch out for the rain of arrows!"
While giving the order loudly, Silan further accelerated the running speed of Xiao Jin under his crotch.
But just as the light cavalry had a speed advantage, the archers also had an advantage in attack range.
It was not easy for them to completely shake off the pursuit of the archers.
If this continues, the opponent will only continue to consume troops.
As soon as he thought of this, Silan immediately made a decision, and the reins in his hand were pulled to the right sharply, and the entire cavalry team suddenly turned around.
A large detour, galloping light cavalry unit rushed directly towards the steppe cavalry that was chasing from the right side!
"Charge the whole army!"
"Kill !!"
The sound of killing shook the sky, and in the face of such a murderous light cavalry unit, more than a thousand grassland cavalry who rushed up from the right side trembled.
The opponent's purpose is obvious, that is, to break down the encirclement on the right side and break through.
Faced with such a situation, the general who was in charge of commanding this steppe cavalry reacted quite quickly, and in the same detour, he began to retreat with more than 1,000 steppe cavalry under his command.
While retreating, he did not forget to bend his bow and arrows, and wanted to fly the kite of the light cavalry unit with his ability to ride and shoot with one hand.
At the same time, Natulu, as the main general, was equally decisive.
"Fence it off! Fence them up and don't let them run!! β
The steppe cavalry on the left, which received the order, continued to outflank in a roundabout way, while the one directly led by Natulu was frantically bending its bow and arrows, shooting round after round of arrow rain to suppress the light cavalry troops to break through.
I have to say that this Natulu still has some means.
Silan glanced left and right, no matter which way he broke through, the steppe cavalry on the other side would outflank him from the other side.
In other words, at the end of the day, nothing will change.
The bad situation has already made Silan's face full of solemnity.
With a quick swing of the spear in his hand, he swept away the arrows that flew at him one by one.
Then, a hint of determination flashed in Silan's eyes!
In this situation, if you want to break the encirclement and deadlock of the steppe cavalry and directly crush the steppe cavalry on one side, this is the easiest and most direct way!
After a big detour, the light cavalry unit, which had accelerated for a short time, once again entered a state of full speed charge, and rushed straight to the steppe cavalry on the right!
The speed of the light cavalry unit soared, constantly closing the distance between the two troops.
Let the general who is in charge of commanding the steppe cavalry on the right side of the pressure increase sharply in his heart, it is not possible to go on like this, once he is suddenly faced by the light cavalry troops, what will happen can be imagined.
At this moment, they no longer had the strength to bend their bows and arrows, and they all hurriedly concentrated all their energy, harnessed the war horses under them, and tried to avoid the surprise attack of the light cavalry troops.
During this period, the other two steppe cavalry also spared no effort to bend their bows and arrows to suppress the offensive of the light cavalry troops.
However, where can the light cavalry troops that rush up be suppressed by a few rounds of arrow rain?
With Slan as the tip of the knife, at this time, they had turned into the sharpest sharp knife on the battlefield, and at the moment of stabbing, they directly tore apart the formation of the steppe cavalry.
During this period, more than a few steppe cavalrymen who tried to block the way died under the guns of the light cavalry.
Silan's intention is undoubtedly to maintain the momentum of the charge and break through the encirclement in one go.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Break out.
Natulu obviously saw this, and at the same time that the light cavalry unit collided with the steppe cavalry on the right, he had already outflanked the remaining two steppe cavalry all the way.
Even if he paid a part of his troops as a price, he would leave this light cavalry force in Great Xia behind!
When the light cavalry unit attacked the formation, the momentum was very fierce, but no matter how fierce the momentum was, it would inevitably reduce its own speed while colliding.
This gave the steppe cavalry a chance, and a whole encirclement was already looming.
At the same time, the steppe cavalry on the right side that was charged was by no means vulnerable. After putting down his bow and arrows and changing into melee weapons, he directly engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the light cavalry troops who rushed up.
Faced with such a situation, Si Lan's heart sank, he knew that the other party's purpose was to entangle them.
During this period, the other two steppe cavalry led by Natulu also changed into melee weapons and surrounded them, clearly wanting to surround them here with the number of troops.
According to Silan's strength, it is naturally not a problem for him to break through with a bloody path, but the problem is that in the face of such a large number of enemy troops, the ordinary cavalry under his command can't do it!
If these 3,700 light cavalry were forced to break out like this, they didn't know how many troops they would lose.
Looking at the light cavalry troops who were almost trapped by him, Naturu sneered, just as he was about to order the whole army to move and surround and kill the light cavalry troops.
From a distance, there was a sudden sound of the roar of war horses.
It turned out that before Natulu raided the light cavalry of Silan, he had also strengthened the surveillance of Kereh's side, and made a posture that he wanted to attack at any time.
At first, Kree did raise his vigilance.
Soon, though, he sensed something was wrong.
The steppe cavalry on the opposite side, not to mention the number of soldiers under his command, was less than half of the soldiers under his command, and once he made an attack posture, he immediately retreated.
This scene immediately made Kree sense that something was wrong, and then thought of Silan's side, Kree immediately understood, it must have been the other party to attack Silan.
Before he had time to hesitate, Kree immediately led his cavalry archers to gallop towards the area where Slan was.
"Not good! Reinforcements from the opposite side are coming! β
Naturu's face changed instantly, and at the same time, a large number of thoughts flashed through his mind
Is it to fight, or to retreat?
In terms of numbers, he no longer had any advantage, but, seeing that he had the upper hand, it was only a matter of time before he eliminated this light cavalry.
Just let him withdraw, and Tulu was really a little unwilling in his heart.
Soon, Natulu quickly made up his mind!
"Kill me!"
The opportunity must not be lost, the time will not come again, it is not easy to have such a chance to successfully besiege Silan, even if he pays the price, he will kill this general of Great Xia here!
Silan obviously sensed Natulu's intentions, and his whole heart sank.
However, it is absolutely impossible to let him obediently lead the neck to be killed.
"Brethren, reinforcements have arrived! Kill me out!! β
As he spoke, Silan showed the momentum of unity between men and horses, looked in one direction, and directly launched a breakthrough, sweeping in all directions with a spear in his hand.
None of the enemies around him were his unanimous enemies.
Under the rush, I don't know how many steppe cavalry I have killed, and the blades of the spears have long been stained with viscous plasma!
"Who else will lead the death?!"
The armor was stained with blood, and wherever Silan passed, the corpses of the steppe cavalry continued to pile up.
There was a loud roar, and no one dared to reply.
The fear in his heart gradually spread, and the steppe cavalry surrounding him couldn't help but take a few steps back.
Natulu, who saw this scene in his eyes, yelled repeatedly: "Don't be scared by that guy! He is just one person, no matter how strong a person is, can he still be able to defeat thousands of our steppe warriors?! β
"In this battle, whoever can kill the enemy general, I will report to the king and make him the commander, and the gold, silver, treasures, and all kinds of beauties will follow him
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Select!! β
Hearing this, the steppe cavalry lifted their spirits.
That's right, no matter how strong Silan is, there is only one person, and there are thousands of grassland warriors on their side!
Coupled with the repeated temptations of official positions, money, and beautiful women, at this time, all the steppe cavalry were a little red-eyed, and they roared and rushed forward.
In this regard, Silan gritted his teeth and led the light cavalry under his command to meet the attack strongly.
On the other side, Keree finally arrived at the battlefield, and before he had time to think about it, he immediately rushed out with his archers.
"The bloodletting gun preparesβ"
The archers, hearing the order, quickly drew their bloodletting rifles, which were fixed to the side of their saddles.
"Put!"
On the way to galloping, a bloodletting gun roared out with the momentum of the charge, facing the pile of grassland cavalry, the pieces of bloodletting guns directly showed amazing lethality, and the screams of the grassland cavalry instantly resounded throughout the battlefield.
The arrival of reinforcements undoubtedly affected the morale of both sides to a certain extent.
Especially in that round of bloodletting gun throwing, the bloodletting gun that fell with momentum and inertia could easily penetrate the leather armor of the steppe cavalry, and even their bodies.
After one round of throwing, Kree kept moving, and the second round of bloodletting gun throwing immediately followed.
Each of the archers, although they were only equipped with four bloodletting guns, had no intention of saving, his current idea was very simple, wherever there were more people, he would smash them, and kill one more one.
This kind of attack method has never been used by Kereh in previous battles, so the steppe cavalry, who didn't know how to deal with it, was completely caught off guard.
The four rounds of bloodletting guns were thrown over, leaving a large number of corpses directly, which can be said to have ruthlessly folded a wave of opposing troops.
Looking at the tragic situation in front of him, Na Tulu didn't even have time to react, what kind of attack was that just now? There was such a terrifying power that a large number of the steppe cavalry under his command died directly.
Natulu was so frightened that his brain couldn't react.
Before he could come back to his senses, on the other side, with the deterrence of the lethal deterrence of the Kree bloodletting gun, Silan led the light cavalry troops under his command to directly kill a bloody road!
Including Natulu, the strong fear of the unknown is frantically eroding the will of every steppe cavalryman.
Judging purely from the casualties of the troops, they may still have the strength to fight, but their morale and will have collapsed, and even some soldiers have directly begun to flee.
Natulu was extremely unwilling in his heart, but finally gave the order to retreat.
Seeing the enemy retreating, Silan and Keree breathed a sigh of relief.
If the enemy resolutely does not withdraw, then even if they can win this battle, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses.
Not to mention, Silan and the light cavalry under his command are already lacking in physical strength.
Similarly, the archers under the command of Cree, after throwing four bloodlets, also decreased their combat power a lot.
The two didn't dare to stay here longer, and after ordering the cavalry under their command to help the archers recover the bloodletting guns, they would take the bodies of their dead soldiers with them.
As for the corpses of the remaining steppe cavalry, they were randomly piled together, burned in a fire, and then quickly left the battlefield.
After nightfall, in the camp lit by fire, Silan looked at the hot soup in his hand and was stunned.
This time, he was besieged and killed by the steppe cavalry, and more than 3,700 light cavalry under his command killed 1,168 people and seriously wounded 221 people.
This string of cold numbers made Si Lan's heart heavy.
At this moment, Kree walked over quickly.
I saw him sit down directly in front of Si Lan, and then asked him, "What are you going to do next?" β
Silan, who heard the voice, quickly regained his strength.
After all, he is a general, and the death of the soldiers under his command makes him sad, but it will not let him collapse.
"Temporarily retreat, reinforcements are behind, it will arrive in a few days, this battle was attacked by the steppe cavalry, it was my mistake, I will ask Your Majesty for guilt when I turn back."
