Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Twilight of the World Chapter 117 Fate hangs by a thread
Tong Meng is the captain of the Tiger Camp, and what he was best at was to command the battle of the Tiger Camp.
At this moment, seeing that those beast wolf riders had gradually torn apart the defense line of the victorious foot soldiers, and the fangs of the giant wolf were like countless guillotines cutting the flesh and blood of the foot soldiers, the captain in charge of the flag held down the camp of the elite cavalry and never launched a charge.
He's waiting for the perfect moment to mount his fine ride.
The foot guards were in front of the shield, the longbowmen were behind the shields, and the tiger was a hundred paces behind the line.
When the gray torrent of the beast wolf rode rushed down the hillside like a tide, the master of the banner of the tiger spirit rider understood that from the comparison of numbers and strength, this victorious lone army that withdrew from Tianyao could not confront the beast-like enemy head-on, but after a short weighing, Tong Meng set two goals, one was to cover the five armies to break through the siege. The second is to delay the consumption of this powerful beast cavalry as much as possible.
The wolf riders were murderous, shuttling back and forth in the blood mist of human soldiers, and even the beast riders who harnessed the giant wolves stretched out their greedy long tongues and licked the blood mist that filled the air with satisfaction.
The formation of the victorious infantry soldiers was soon completely overthrown, and the longbowmen of the second line of defense gradually fell behind in terms of size and momentum, from the long distance of the long shots at the beginning, to the rapid flat fire, and then to draw their machetes or pick up the spears scattered by their comrades.
The elite horsemen kept tightening the reins of their horses, holding down the eager mounts, staring at the blood mist battlefield a hundred steps away, the anger in their hearts could not be suppressed, but Tong Meng's gestures required them to be patient, they were the best warriors, the best warriors in addition to courage, force, and obedience.
Tong Meng saw that all the beast wolf riders had already entered the position of the foot soldiers and began to slaughter recklessly, he stared at the elite cavalry team that was responsible for covering Chang Po behind him, and admonished,
"Remember, your mission is to protect General Chang's breakthrough!"
The captain responsible for leading the team to break through is Yang Sheng, a fast horse with superb riding skills personally designated by Tong Meng. At this moment, Yang Sheng was already with a horizontal knife in his hand, just waiting for Tong Meng's order.
"It's now, kill!" Tong Meng clamped his legs on his war horse, stood on the stirrups, held the knife in his hand, and swung forward, and then, the last hundreds of tiger warriors seemed to be a fragmented arrow, shooting together towards the collapsed defense line of the infantry comrades in front of him.
Tong Meng knows that the most powerful weapon in cavalry combat is not the sword, but speed. He held out until all the gray torrents were entangled with the victorious infantry, and then finally gave the call to attack.
Now he only had the last seven or eight hundred Tiger Spirits left in his hands, but he had to use this last power to create a miracle.
It only took thirty steps for the elite cavalry to increase the speed of the impact to the peak, and then, at a distance of fifty paces from the enemy, Tong Meng took the lead in throwing the spear from the war horse.
This time, it was the beast wolf riders who began to feel the power of the rain of spears. A rain of spears fell, and the howl of the giant wolf was heard in an instant, and the originally invincible beast wolf rode in a panic and began to dodge in a panic. But the tiger knights did not give them time to regroup, the earthy yellow cloak was cold in the wind, and the distance of fifty paces flashed by, and the horses on the front line of the elite horses jumped high in the air, and the riders carried long iron spears under their armpits, directly hitting the tall wolf riders head-on.
With the help of the tremendous impact of the spirit riders, these spikes finally pierced the bodies of those beast riders with the roar of the tiger spirit riders, and they only splashed out, not blood, but green juice.
Immediately afterwards, the elite riders who followed up waved their sabers and slashed at the joints of the wolf riders. Many of the wolf riders howled and fell to the ground.
Those surviving victorious foot soldiers, taking advantage of the wailing of these fallen wolf riders, rushed forward one after another, and used all the weapons at their disposal to greet these beasts fiercely, although they could not kill them with one blow, but the crazy blow could make these soldiers vent their anger for the revenge of their comrades.
Taking advantage of the melee between the two armies, the fast horse Yang Sheng took his elite cavalry team to protect Chang Po in the middle, looked at the gap in the battlefield, rushed all the way, and gradually highlighted the encirclement.
Woo~Woo~Woo~
On the top of the mountain, behind the rocks that were originally set up by the wolf riders, several long and low horns came, and the wolf cavalry who were scattered by the tiger spirit cavalry came to their senses and rushed towards the back of the tiger spirit horse.
Tong Meng's heart sank, originally thinking that he could use the impact of the cavalry to break the ambush of these wolf riders, but now he saw that the remaining wolf riders avoided the charge of the tiger horses, but went around behind the tiger horses, which made him have an ominous premonition, these seemingly barbaric beast wolf riders actually knew the tactics of the military formation.
If the wolf retreats under the onslaught of the tiger, it will be chased and slashed by the tiger's saber, but they seek to stagger the tiger's edge, which is the common method of cavalry, avoiding the enemy's edge, and then charging the whole team.
Sure enough, Tong Meng's worries were verified, and the two cavalry teams quickly staggered their formations, rushed forward separately, and even switched their initial positions.
Under the command of the horn, the wolf riders quickly regrouped on one side of the battlefield, and Tong Meng looked back at the victorious foot soldiers who were still fighting and could not leave the battlefield, so he had to gather his tiger elite cavalry and reorganize the team on the other side.
Soon the two teams finished their respective formations, on one side was the beast wolf rider who was still under pressure, and on the other side was the tired tiger spirit rider. It's just that the tiger elite rider has lost a lot, only four or five hundred riders remain, and although those beast wolf riders were caught off guard and left a lot of corpses, at a glance, there are at least thousands.
The wolf riders who hung the color kept beating their chests and howling, just hoping to start a revenge slaughter, and Tong Meng himself had already hung the color, he wiped a handful of blood stains that covered his eyelids, and shouted the tiger Ben's attack command again.
This time, the wolf riders also gave full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and began to accelerate at the same time, one gray and one yellow, two fronts, collided head-on, and the yellow elite cavalry team was almost covered by the gray torrent.
But the two cavalry staggered again, only to leave many corpses in the middle of the battlefield.
After two battles, the foot soldiers and the corpses before them were all trampled into pulp. This time, there were less than a hundred horses left in the Tiger Ben Spirit Cavalry, and Tong Meng had already hung up his heavy colors, but he still led the remnants and retreated some more distance, and now he just wanted to drag these beasts and wolves for a while as much as possible.
Toot ~ Toot ~ Toot ~
Behind the rocks on the hill, a rapid and short horn sounded, and I saw a hundred horsemen in the team of beast wolf riding, chasing towards the figure of the fast horse Yang Sheng.
"Brothers, Tong Meng is honored to have you fight with me! I thank someone Tong again, if there is an afterlife, I hope we are still brothers!"
The rest of the Tiger Warriors replied loudly, "Protect my territory, although I have no regrets in death, I am still a brother! I am still a brother! I am still a brother......
"Up!" These remaining tiger elite riders, regardless of the injuries on their bodies, used their last strength to urge the war horses under their crotches and launched the final charge.
This is the fastest blade in Great Xia, even in the face of stubborn stones, you have to leave your own mark. It was another round of head-on impact, and after this time, there were no more earthy yellow robes on the battlefield, because even the Tiger Ben Captain Tong Meng, who rushed through the wolf cavalry front line to snipe at the Tiger Ben Elite Cavalry, there were less than ten people left.
But these ten people did not stop the whole team under Tong Meng's signal, and after penetrating the gray torrent, they ran straight to the direction from which the horn came from on the hill, Tong Meng wanted to see what kind of existence the horn commanded this beast cavalry.
The beast wolf riders behind him came back to their senses and chased after each other towards the hillside.
The Tiger Horse was a battle-hardened warrior, and they had a heart-to-heart with the riders, and they rushed desperately towards the hill, but the gray giant wolves were obviously stronger and had better endurance, and soon approached the last few Tiger Horsemen.
Tong Meng didn't look behind him, just urged the horse, no need to command, followed the last two war horses turned around, and rushed towards the chasing wolf horse, bang, the two fast horses used their bodies to knock the two wolf horses in front of the rush to the ground, and then the four riders also scuffled together, but they all lost the weapons at hand, and the tiger warriors and those beast cavalry soldiers, opened their teeth and gnawed each other's flesh fiercely......
Then a group of war horses stopped and blocked the wolf cavalry chasing behind him with their bodies, until finally, only Tong Meng himself was left, he did not turn his head to look, because the movement behind him no longer shouted to kill, only the footsteps of the dense wolf cavalry chasers, but fortunately he had crossed the gentle hillside, and the war horse jumped vigorously, and finally stepped on the boulder where the horn sounded.
A wolf rider who followed closely behind him also learned from the fierce war horse, jumped up, and wanted to pounce on the mountain rock, but the wolf rider's overly strong body seemed too heavy, and the height of the jumping body was not enough, so he could only rely on his front legs to pick up the edge of the mountain rock. Tong Meng wouldn't give him a chance to struggle, a mistake in the stirrups, the war horse understood, and the two hind hooves flew up in the air, kicking the wolf rider's head firmly.
With a scream, the iron palm on the horse's hooves with strong strength directly knocked the wolf rider's eyeball out of the eye socket, and the entire wolf rider's body also drew an arc, throwing it out along the hillside, struggling a few times, but he could no longer get up.
"Smack, smack, smack"
A few applause rang out, and a shrill voice praised,
"I can't believe that you human cavalry can fight my wolf cavalry for so long, don't you just want to see what I look like? And I can reward you with a happy death......"
Tong Meng couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the figure slowly emerging from the shadow of the mountain stone, but fortunately, the saber in his hand was not sluggish, and then he urged the horse to swing the knife and slash towards the tall figure.
Unexpectedly, the figure was faster, Tong Meng didn't see how he made a move at all, but he saw that the world in front of him was torn in half by an invisible force, and the two worlds immediately collapsed on both sides, and a dim endless emptiness appeared in the middle.
Tong Meng couldn't understand what was going on, but the figure was complacent, because his sword split this fearless human knight, even the man and the horse, into two halves, this sword qi was so sharp, a man and a horse were instantly cut from beginning to end, and the body that was cut in half didn't even have time to wail and scream, and fell to the ground neatly. It was only at this moment that the blood mist in the sky suddenly bloomed, instantly staining the protruding mountain rock......
Yang Sheng, the fast horse who stood out from the encirclement, did not see the tragic battle of the Tiger Ben brothers, he put his body tightly on the horse's back, constantly whipped his own horse, and from time to time turned back to tell other comrades to follow.
The governor of the five armies, Chang Poyu, also kept whipping his horse, and under the gallop, he was not inferior to these best tiger cavalry.
Yang Sheng was thinking about the path that the troops were speeding on, if he held on to this speed for another two hours, he should be able to almost reach the border city of Jinsha. I only hope that Jinsha City Defense is still there, so that I can complete the mission of escorting General Chang. The golden eagle arrow that General Chang handed over to Tong Meng had been transferred to Yang Sheng at this moment, and Yang Sheng hoped that he could return this golden arrow to General Chang in Jinsha.
However, the dust rose far behind him, and Yang Sheng looked back, the one hundred wolf cavalry chasers who had broken away from the battlefield were speeding through the narrow mountain road, and had gradually bitten Yang Sheng's cavalry team.
Yang Sheng couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chang Polu beside him, and found that General Chang's tiger eyes were also staring at him, and he also gestured to his quiver with his eyes, Yang Sheng understood that this last time had come, but whether he could shoot the arrow that killed General Chang Lao was at a loss.
