Chapter 237: One Step Away

readx;?“ Sure enough, it is a chaotic people, and they are not vulnerable at all! "Without the slightest vigilance, with the joy of victory, these cavalry rushed into the entrance of the valley under the leadership of this lieutenant general, and completely destroyed those ballistas, which were originally a sharp weapon for city defense, even if they were god-level powerhouses, they did not dare to take it easily, and they were naturally invincible to deal with ordinary cavalry. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This valley is nearly forty meters wide, the valley floor is flat, but it is enough for more than ten war horses to be parallel, as soon as he enters the valley, the general's heart can't help but be startled, and before he can stop, he hears a familiar voice sound, "Archer......"

As soon as this voice sounded, I saw the sparse black dots quickly turn into black light and shadow enveloping the rear of the entire cavalry phalanx, and the screams rang out, and the adjutant general gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rush over!"

The lieutenant general noticed that there were still many unused feather arrows in the first position, and this time the sudden feather arrows were sparse and sparse, and in fact, the casualties caused to the team were not very large, and he had long known that the Crescent Moon Province was full of force, but after all, it was only a province, and even if it had strength, the army it could support was limited, so this not only did not make the lieutenant general feel threatened, but instead believed that the impact could be won.

In fact, if this deputy general calms down and orders to retreat, he may be able to make a difference, but this general is not familiar with the terrain, and he doesn't know that this valley is wide first and then narrow, but there is nothing to regret in the world, and if he makes a decision, he will have to bear the consequences of the decision, and once the decision fails, then he must pay the price, and this deputy general has paid not only his own life, but also the glory of all the soldiers of this forward army.

The sparse feathered arrows and the constant screams made the remaining cavalry rush forward with the adjutant, they also felt the weakness of those feathered arrows, and it was within their expectations that there was an ambush on the valley, but what they didn't expect was that this kind of ambush was really pitiful, although these soldiers were still afraid before entering the valley, but after the so-called ambush, their confidence couldn't help but swell like an adjutant.

Just less than a mile away from the first position is a relatively slow corner, the area of the corner is very large, you can see that this used to be a section of the river, but look at the soil quality also know, this is not known to be hundreds of years ago, in the shadow of the valley there is a very thick snow, now it is winter, gusts of cold wind continue to invade these cavalry who are charging, but the cavalry is too fast, but with a tearing wind, let the wind in this valley whimper and be torn by the rumbling horses' hooves, after crossing the corner, the deputy general saw the scene in front of him and couldn't help but be stunned, in front of him there are countless stone wallsFrom time to time, heads pop out from behind the simple stone walls, and even the silhouette of bows and arrows can be seen.

The phalanx was still about three hundred meters away from the cavalry, and the adjutant's face couldn't help but change slightly after careful observation after giving the order to pause, in his field of vision, there were at least seven ballistas, but the shape of this ballista was different from the ballista he knew, directly above the ballista, there was actually a box that could not be said to have any effect, and an ominous premonition rose in the adjutant's heart, but now that the army had marched here, the stone wall on the opposite side was just a temporary construction of ordinary stones, and the height was only two or three meters, which was nothing at all for the cavalry。

"Stupid!" the adjutant was overjoyed, and then with a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him immediately began to trot, two or three hundred meters is just a plus process, these extremely stupid rebels will actually leave a space for the cavalry to charge, is this lord of the Crescent Moon Province a fool?

But soon, the faces of all the cavalry changed, and right in front of them, the irregular stone walls collapsed, and behind the stone walls was what was really hidden inside, a whole row of ballistas, no less than twenty in number.

It's a trap!

Not only the adjutant, all the cavalry thought of this word, but looking at the more and more clear ballista and the crossbow gun shining with the light of death, the cavalry charging in the front row rose in despair, but the enemy did not have the slightest mercy, after the winch vibrate, the crossbow was shot out strongly, and at this time the degree of the cavalry was also increased to the extreme, the cavalry who already knew the result desperately and frantically waved the weapons in their hands, urging the horses to try to dodge the crossbow, but unfortunately, the crossbow is an emotionless weapon, its blade is the ultimate role of harvesting the enemy's life, for a time, the tragedy staged outside the valley was staged again at the corner of this valleyThe cavalrymen who had finally dodged the crossbow subconsciously looked at the ground, as before, there was still nothing to see on the ground, but in front of those ballistas, there were rows of horse rejection stakes across the front of the team.

Even if they already knew that it was a trap, they couldn't turn back now, the seemingly wide corner had become extremely crowded at this time, and the originally sparse feathered arrows had become a little dense unconsciously, and there was not enough room to maneuver and turn, and the teams behind were still rushing into the valley in a steady stream, and the cavalry had only one choice: rushing forward.

When the second wave of ballistas appeared, it was only five breaths away from the first wave, although they didn't know why, but they knew that there was no way to retreat The cavalry could only do their best to urge the horses, and the distance of a few hundred meters was enough for a single dash, so they ignored their companions who were taken away by the ballistas, and charged forward hoarsely.

The horses galloped, and the distance of several hundred meters was only instantaneous, and the high horse-resisting stakes were led by the cavalry in front of them, and the rear team began to rush into the defensive line in an endless stream, and the two warring sides were only at this time the real beginning.

"My lord, the enemy is large and well-armed, and the soldiers on the position have suffered heavy casualties, so far two squad leaders and their teams have all been killed, and the remaining three squads are struggling to resist. ”

The battle was less than a hundred breaths, it can be said that the two sides had just come into contact, and the originally excited general received the bad news of heavy casualties, although he had been prepared in his heart, but as soon as he heard that his total of 8,000 troops had lost 2,000 people at the beginning of the battle, he gritted his teeth hard, his fists crackled, but he always stood in place, and finally let out a long breath and said: "Prepare to transfer to the secondary position!"

After the herald went down, the general suddenly slammed his fist on the opposite mountain, and roared in a low voice: "It's too much to deceive people!" and at this moment, a dull voice sounded from behind him, and the general turned back to the general who said that he had gone to sleep.

"It's not like you haven't experienced war, there is bullying and not bullying in this thing, you have a quarter of the casualties, but at least you took nearly twice as many enemies, although this deal is a bit uneconomical, but don't forget, with your current equipment and troops, on the plain, the other side will hit down, and you won't even have a scum left. After saying that, the general subconsciously wanted to scratch his face, but now he was blocked by the helmet mask and continued: "There is no normalcy in the war, this is the only way to capture the Crescent Moon Province, and it is also the only barrier, although I don't know why Lord Ghost Ugly will only garrison such a small number of troops, but he can put me here, it proves that you are not an outcast, I think you should not have this kind of idea about Lord Ghost and Ugly, right?"

After subconsciously shaking his head, the general, who was originally the chief captain, bent down slightly after the haze in his heart dissipated a little, clasped his fists and saluted: "Thank you for your advice, I understand, please also ask Your Excellency later, after the third line of defense, it will all depend on Your Excellency's contributions." ”

"Well said!" said the general, who came to see the situation, and left leisurely.

With the continuous investment of the cavalry corps, the gap between the strength and equipment began to become more and more obvious, and the ballista that could easily take away the life of the cavalry was also destroyed by most of it, under the order of the lieutenant general, a ballista was kept in the rear of the team, because the damage brought by the ballista to their own side was far greater than the loss in the white-knuckle battle, the frightening car frequency made the lieutenant feel deeply terrified, but the rest was still in the process of destruction, after the advantage of the force began to appear, the lieutenant's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, the only thing that made him a little uncomfortable was that those scattered feather arrows above the valley really made people feel helpless, like an annoying fly that can't be hit.

When the last of the ballistas was completely destroyed, the morale of the Vanguard soldiers of the Temple was boosted, and the enemies who were desperately trying to protect the ballista fled backwards in disarray, and the direction in which they disappeared was another corner.

He has been biting the other party's ass to chase and kill, even if he knows that there may be an ambush around the corner, the adjutant does not feel that there can be any tricks, so soon he led the troops to rush over again, according to the marks on the map, there is a corner after two corners, which is an open field, and this means that after rushing over, before reaching Crescent City, it is the world of cavalry.

It's just that this time the adjutant found a small piece of high ground and waved his hands on this high ground, and the soldiers moved forward quickly, and in the midst of repeated battles, the light on the adjutant's silver armor was so faint that the opportunity could not be seen, and this armor blessed by the temple was finally about to be scrapped because of the continuous fighting, but the adjutant didn't care, as long as he broke through this valley, then it was only a few hundred miles away from Crescent City, which was a great achievement, enough for him to exchange for another armor with his merits.

But when he rushed through the second corner with the troops, wondering why the troops had suddenly stopped, he came to the front of the formation, but he was now on the opposite side of the line, black with no end in sight, and the protruding fangs and low wheezing sound made the adjutant feel like an ice cave for an instant.

After a long wolf howl, the whole valley began to shake violently.

On the evening of the 28th of the month, a rider at one of the company's stations had a traffic accident on the way home, and it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening when he came back after processing, so he got up in the morning to update, and I hope to forgive me.

Xiao Er, respectfully.
