Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Battle Mission of the Swordsmen

Due to the fact that it was the middle of the night and there were many new recruits, the support army sent by Yanjing did not march as fast as expected. By the time we arrived outside the town of Sola, it was already dawn.

Far away, all the officers and soldiers of the reinforcements saw the sky in the direction of the town of Sorad, and the rain of arrows fell on the town in waves. Before arriving at the battlefield, all the officers and men suddenly felt the atmosphere of war.

An imperial army of about a few hundred cavalry came out of the town and greeted the Yanjing reinforcements. The leader was an officer at the level of a group commander, who had received a notice from Yanjing and was ordered by General Higgins, commander of the Fourth Army, to welcome this team.

As fighting was going on in the town, the welcome ceremony was brief. The captain conveyed Commander Higgins' order to use reinforcements as a general reserve, and to rest outside the town to await deployment.

Then, the commander of the reinforcements, General Lipsgow, was appointed deputy commander-in-chief of the defense line of Sorad Town, and immediately brought several men into the town with the cavalry of the Fourth Army to participate in the joint command of the operation.

The rest of the reinforcements rested and had breakfast on the spot, and were ready for battle. Always be at your disposal and go to the battlefield!

Keya stared blankly at the rain of arrows falling from the sky above the town, and muttered to Britney: "This is war! In a great battle with thousands of troops, even if a person has great ability, what is the use? Even if he is a powerhouse in the Holy Domain, how can he keep himself from being injured when he encounters such a dense arrow array attack?"

Britney's face was also slightly pale, and she couldn't help but hold Keya's hand. Rao is that as a high-level swordsman, she couldn't help but be afraid when she saw such a terrifying arrow array attack.

Britney was not the only one whose face turned pale, in the entire reinforcements, except for some veterans with combat experience, everyone else had sweaty palms and trembling hearts. Especially some of the recruits, even their calves and stomachs were shaking. Everyone was thinking in their hearts at this time: "If I go up, how can I save my life under such a dense rain of arrows?"

After a few rounds of arrows, a deafening sound of rushing and killing suddenly came from the front of Sola Town. The earth shook for this, and it seemed that thousands of troops were rolling into the town. Then the sound of bows and arrows sounded in the town of Sorad, and with a brush, the sky darkened, and countless feathered arrows rose into the air, whistling and rushing out of the town. The enemy's arrow attack did not stop, and in the sky, the rain of arrows from both sides rose one after another, crashing through each other. From afar, it's spectacular!

Keya turned his head and saw Judy sitting on the ground not far behind him, looking up blankly, her little face was also pale. He sighed slightly in his heart, and thought to himself: "Why bother? I can't come, but I insist on being this hero! Alas!"

He turned around, slowly walked in front of Judy, squatted down, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, war is so terrifying." From now on, you will be by my side at all times. As long as I'm here, I'll be able to protect you. ”

Judy looked at Koya, her mouth moving, as if she wanted to say something. But at this moment, the roar of the imperial soldiers from the front of the position shook the field: "Kill!" Then the sound of blade impact, screams, and shouts of killing rang out.

The two armies finally began to fight hand-to-hand! The rain of arrows immediately stopped attacking!

Judy suddenly reached out and grabbed Koya's arms tightly, shouting, "Koya, don't leave me!"

Keya was stunned and said, "Of course, I won't leave you half a step!"

At this time on the battlefield, the [***] team and the [***] team rushed out of the position, and were struggling to resist the onslaught of the enemy's tens of thousands of infantry, and the battle had reached a white-hot situation. Commander Higgins and General Lipsgow were almost at the forefront of the position, directing their men in battle.

Most of the several infantry brigades of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom had crossed the trench, and thousands of sappers, under the cover of the infantry, were struggling to carry soil to fill the trench.

Higgins saw this situation, and immediately turned to Lipsgow and said: "We must not allow the enemy to fill this ditch easily! Our army can still resist the attack of the infantry, but once the enemy cavalry attacks, it will be difficult to hold on with the defense of our army." General Lipsgow, what do you do about this situation?"

Lipsgow groaned slightly, and then said, "Commander Higgins, the enemy sappers have infantry in front to cover. Our troops are small in strength, and it seems that it will be difficult to kill them to stop their ditch filling operation. The only way to do this is to send a strong squad, all of which are made up of warriors with swordsman qualifications. Under the cover of our cavalry, we rushed directly to the trench, crossed the ditch to fight, and disrupted the enemy's plan to fill the trench, what do you think?"

Although Higgins also had this intention, according to the actual situation, he could only say: "Although this plan is feasible, there are less than ten soldiers in our army with swordsman qualifications, including me. Even if it passes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop the enemy's large-scale ditch filling operation?"

General Lipsgow smiled and said, "That's right! There is a squad in this team I brought, all of which are made up of swordsmen!"

Keya and the others were eating dry bread outside the town, when they suddenly saw a horse galloping from inside the town. Immediately seated was none other than General Lipsgow, the commander of the reinforcements.

I saw him come to the front of the army on his horse, and said loudly: "The thirty-second squad, gather in front of the battle immediately!"

When the leader of Keya's squad heard this, he immediately threw away the bread in his hand, ran to the open space in front and shouted to his subordinates: "Thirty-two squads, assemble in front of me immediately!"

So the swordsmen, who had never received military training, rushed over, and a hundred or so people lined up in an uneven queue.

The squad leader knew that his men had little military literacy, and he couldn't ask them to move quickly and neatly. After a slight count of the number of people, he turned to a salute to General Lipsgow, and said loudly: "Report to the commander! The 32nd squad has gathered all 107 people, please instruct!"

General Lipsgow immediately returned the salute and said, "The battle situation is urgent, and I won't say anything else." You immediately lead the thirty-two squads into the town and immediately enter the battle!"

"Yes!"

As soon as these words came out, all the soldiers of the 32nd squad buzzed and exploded! Everyone did not expect that they had just arrived at the battlefield and had not even finished their meals, and they were actually going to participate in the battle immediately!

Although these people have long been mentally prepared to sacrifice their lives for the country, they still can't help but panic when they go into battle so early. Ke Ya suddenly felt that his right hand was clenched tightly, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Judy beside him was pale, and her lips began to tremble.

He smiled slightly, stretched out his other hand and patted the back of Judy's hand, and comforted softly: "Don't be afraid, with me, you will be fine!"

Judy had no choice but to cry and cry out aggrievedly: "Keya, you are not allowed to leave me!"

The squad leader over there was already ordering: "Thirty-two squads, all of them! Turn right and run into town!"

After entering the town, the shouts of killing in front of him were even more deafening. A cavalry stormtrooper, consisting of about a thousand men, had lined up in the streets.

The leader of the 32nd squad had already received the battle order, and came back and said to all the soldiers of the 32nd squad: "Soldiers, our task is to kill the rear of the enemy infantry under the cover of cavalry and stop the enemy's sappers from filling the ditch. The army commander demanded that we act quickly and strike ruthlessly! We must disrupt and disperse the enemy's engineering units in a short period of time. Everyone is a swordsman of the empire, why did they come here after learning all the swordsmanship? It is to contribute their strength to the defense of the motherland and the goddess at a critical moment! Combat is dangerous and cruel, and the enemy is either you die or I live. I believe that everyone has already made up their minds to die, and I won't say anything superfluous. After crossing the ditch, we should kill as many enemies as possible, and when our cavalry stormed the ditch for the second time, we immediately followed the cavalry back to the town. Well, time is pressing, take up arms and get ready for battle!"

More than a hundred long swords were raised, and when they came, the swordsmen had no intention of returning alive. For the goddess, for the motherland, for the relatives!

The commander of the cavalry squadron at the front has already begun to give orders: "Cavalry!

There was a loud bang, it was a well-trained regular army, and the movements were uniform, and when a thousand people drew their swords, there was only a sound. Under the sun, the sabre is shining!

The cavalry squadron leader turned his horse's head and shouted, "Charge!" Then a thousand cavalrymen shouted in unison, "Kill!"

The thirty-second squad leader also raised his war knife and shouted wildly: "Thirty-two squad, follow up and kill the enemy!"

The battle in front of the town is raging. In the direction of the main battlefield, the [***] team and the [***] team each had five squadrons with a total of 10,000 people, desperately blocking the attack of the enemy's two brigades of infantry. The battle was raging in the open space outside the town, with blood flying and screaming. Although the chaos was tragic, the combat effectiveness of the Fourth Army was manifested at this moment. They stubbornly maintained their formation squadron by squadron, constantly counter-charged, covered, assaulted, retreated, and fought fiercely and methodically. Although the enemy outnumbered them, under such a tight and stubborn resistance, they could not get even half a step close to the street for half a day!

Just as they were in a hurry, suddenly, the soldiers of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom saw that the Pang Xin Emperor [***] team in front of them automatically and neatly retreated to both sides. The entrance to the entire town of Sorad was suddenly exposed!

However, a cavalry suddenly came out of the town. When the first horse galloped through the road that parted in the middle, he immediately fell on his side, and his right saber was stretched diagonally behind him. yelled: "Death to those who stand in my way!"

Without waiting for the soldiers of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom to react, all of a sudden, that person and a horse had crashed into their own formation. The impact of the war horse was so great that suddenly, several soldiers who had no time to dodge had been knocked out and flew out, and one of them was even trampled by the horse's hooves on the spot!

What's even more terrifying is that this horse is only a few steps away, the hooves rumble, the dust is flying, it is actually a cavalry army, followed by the first horse and fiercely plunged into the whole army.

Rushing wildly, ramming, trampling, waving a knife, shouting! In just an instant, this infantry brigade of the Zhuang Khan Kingdom was in chaos, crying for dad and mother, and they all turned around and ran!

The unbreakable truth on the battlefield, when the infantry meets the cavalry, there is only the right to flee!
