Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Nine: Plains Raid
The jungle where the army is currently located does not occupy a very wide area, and the dull sound of the horn makes the sergeant's heart move, and he immediately begins to retreat back in an orderly manner based on the squad.
This time he entered the jungle to kill, and directly wiped out the enemy scout team hidden here, and the moment he touched the enemy, the battle was over.
For the rest of his life, none of the sergeants under his command were killed or wounded, and more than 40 enemy soldiers were killed, and many of the sergeants did not wait, and the battle was over.
"Slowly retreat, to the edge of the jungle, take out the bow and crossbow, and shoot the enemy from a distance. Yu Sheng gave the order loudly, and the troops retreated in an orderly manner.
Huang Yuchen shook the long knife in his hand, and only killed one enemy soldier, which made him a little unsatisfied, and the battle spirit was stimulated, and it was over. At this moment, he held the long knife in his hand, slowly retreated, and heard the horn of the enemy's attack, and his heart was still a little nervous.
In a moment, the thousand sergeants of the 1st Brigade retreated to the edge of the jungle and hid behind the trees, waiting for the enemy to appear.
Yu Sheng leaned against a big tree, looked at Huang Yuchen with a solemn face, smiled slightly, and said, "What, the first time you go to the battlefield, are you nervous?"
Huang Yuchen was stunned when he heard this, and looked back at the rest of his life, only to see him with a smile on his face, without the slightest sense of tension from the current enemy of the great enemy. As for himself, his hands were tightly gripping the hilt of the long knife, his palms were slightly sweaty, his heart rate was accelerating, and he was slightly nervous, but he still squeezed out a smile at Yu Sheng and shook his head.
"It's fine. Yu Sheng smiled and said: "When I first went to the battlefield, I was so scared that I cried my nose, this is human nature, just get used to it." ”
Huang Yuchen nodded lightly, but said in his heart: Actually...... It's not my first time on the battlefield.
Before, in Cangmang Mountain, Huang Yuchen also went through several life-and-death battles, especially the attack on Qingfeng Village by the army of Cangmang City, which was really dangerous. But that time, he thought in his heart that he was just killing all the enemies to protect himself and Li Zhong's lives, and the situation was so dangerous that he couldn't afford to feel nervous. This time, it's a different story.
It was the first time for him to face an enemy army with ill intentions from the perspective of his own family and country, and his conquest and fighting were no longer for himself, but for the East Palace, for his father, and for his brother.
With these fetters in his heart, Huang Yuchen felt a little different at the moment. This feeling is even stronger after slashing an enemy soldier.
"This is the real battlefield...... A battlefield that has fascinated me countless times. Huang Yuchen's mood was a little unclear, nervous, expectant, and a little excited. Killing the enemy army, he did not feel the slightest guilt in his heart, but felt very honored.
Yu Sheng didn't speak anymore, just leaned quietly against the trunk of the tree, and the surrounding sergeants all held their breath, waiting for the enemy's advance, and the entire jungle was instantly quiet.
After a few moments, a faint noise could be heard in the distance, and the sound was getting closer. Huang Yuchen looked forward through the jungle, and could vaguely see the depths of the jungle, and the figures were crowded. The location of the enemy should have arrived at the stronghold of the previous scout, and the scout's corpse is being inspected.
Seeing this, Huang Yuchen's eyes were cold, and he turned his head to look at Yu Sheng, but Yu Sheng still smiled lightly, waved his hand slightly, and signaled him to be restless.
Looking at the other sergeants, everyone was holding their breath and looking solemn, but none of them were as excited as Huang Yuchen at the moment, eager to try.
In contrast, whether in terms of character or battlefield experience, there is still a big gap between Huang Yuchen and these veterans who have experienced a hundred battles.
"If nothing else, they won't attack from here. Yu Sheng whispered to Huang Yuchen beside him: "The field of vision is blocked in the jungle, as long as their commander is not a fool, he will definitely order a retreat, once they retreat, they will not be far from death." ”
When Huang Yuchen heard this, he was a little puzzled in his heart, and thought in his heart: Why is the retreat not far from death?
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a figure in the distance in front of him slowly retreating, slowly disappearing into the depths of the jungle. Sure enough, as expected for the rest of his life, the other party retreated.
"Withdraw!" Seeing this, Yu Sheng ordered in a low voice, and all the sergeants slowly retreated, straight out of the jungle range.
Out of the jungle, Huang Yuchen looked forward, not far ahead, his own cavalry phalanx was neatly arranged, but the number of people was somewhat reduced.
A black-armored cavalry, like a black cloud in the distance, looked at it from a distance, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Yu Sheng did not speak, led the troops, and went straight into the cavalry phalanx, which opened a gap for all the sergeants to enter.
"General. As soon as Yu Sheng turned over and got on his horse, a sergeant stepped forward and whispered: "I just heard the enemy's horn, and the fourth brigade has already attacked." ”
"Okay!" Yu Sheng grabbed the reins of the war horse, smiled lightly, and ordered in a loud voice: "Go around the woods, move forward, and wipe out this enemy army!"
With that, he galloped his horse, crossed the phalanx, and marched to the front of the jungle in the distance.
The cavalry phalanx immediately changed direction and followed Yu Sheng, galloping all the way down.
Huang Yuchen rode his horse, followed Yu Sheng's side, and galloped forward for a short time, when he faintly heard the sound of shouting and killing behind the hills in front of him.
Yu Sheng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately clamped the horse's belly and went straight to the hills ahead.
Walking to the top of the hill and seeing the situation ahead, Huang Yuchen's expression was also shocked.
Beneath the hills, there is a flat meadow, and in the distance, you can faintly see the white camp tent, which should be where the enemy's camp is located.
Right now, a fierce battle is underway.
At this moment, a group of black iron horsemen were galloping on the plain, shuttling back and forth, constantly attacking the enemy's formation. At this moment, the enemy's infantry formation had been overwhelmed by these thousand sergeants, and it was crushed.
At a cursory glance, the enemy should have no less than two thousand troops, but under the onslaught of the iron cavalry of the fourth brigade, it looked vulnerable and defeated, and it was only a matter of time.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng's eyes froze, a hideous smile appeared on his face, and he ordered in a loud voice: "The second brigade will rush down and wipe out the enemy, and the rest of the personnel will come with me!"
At the sound of an order, the second brigade of 1,000 cavalry, lined up in a neat phalanx, rushed down the hills, like a black wave, and rushed straight to the battlefield where they were fighting.
And for the rest of his life, he never looked at the battlefield again, rode his horse, went straight around the battlefield, and headed towards the enemy camp in the distance. Behind him were the other two brigades, two thousand iron horsemen.
Huang Yuchen rode his horse and followed behind Yu Sheng, and when he passed the battlefield, he turned his head to look, only to see the sword light and sword shadow, and the blood light rushed to the sky. The sound of shouting and killing was unconscious, and the terrible screams shook the heavens and the earth.
And all the sergeants who were galloping, including Yu Sheng, did not glance to the side, and they all galloped on their horses, as if the battle that was taking place around them had nothing to do with them, as if they could not hear the earth-shattering shouts of killing.
Yu Sheng led the men and horses straight across the battlefield, about a mile in front of the enemy's camp, stopped the horses, and the two thousand cavalry immediately formed a defensive posture, one brigade rushed at the enemy battalion, and the other brigade turned its guns and faced the battlefield in the rear.
Huang Yuchen sat on the war horse, in front of him was the enemy camp, and behind him was the battlefield that was fighting for life and death at the moment. The incessant shouting of killing filled his ears, making him unable to calm down.
In front of the enemy's large camp, the figure of the enemy camp is crowded, several teams of sergeants wearing armor are clapping in a neat queue, lined up in front of the camp, all the infantry phalanx, the front row holds a heavy shield, placed on the ground, this big shield is about half a person high, the sergeant hides behind the shield, can not see the figure, the back two rows of sergeants, is the spear in hand, on the big shield, the whole phalanx looks from afar, like a huge hedgehog, the spikes rush forward, making people daunting.
Huang Yuchen looked nervous, of course he knew the enemy's formation, this was a battle formation specifically for dealing with cavalry charges, and the number of enemy troops seemed to be far superior to his own, if he continued to rush and kill like this, even if his side was all elite veterans, experienced and fearless, a large number of casualties were indispensable.
Thinking of this, Huang Yuchen couldn't help but glance back at Yu Sheng beside him, but Yu Sheng was indifferent, whether it was the fight behind him or the enemy phalanx in front of him, it seemed that he couldn't shake his nerves.
After a while, the shouting and killing behind him gradually subsided, and a small number of enemy troops who fled to the range of their cavalry phalanx were all killed by arrows and crossbows.
The battle behind him is over.
Seeing the wolf smoke rising, the enemy sent 2,000 infantry, intending to enter the jungle, waiting for the opportunity, but did not want to enter, and found that all their scouts had been killed, and there was not a single enemy in sight, the enemy commander immediately ordered, and all the sergeants immediately retreated to the camp and formed a battle formation to wait for the enemy.
Just on this plain, not far in front of the large battalion, but I don't want to rush behind a group of cavalry, well-equipped, like a black cloud, rushed straight over without stopping, at this moment, the direction of the large battalion has just begun to assemble, far from being completed, and the ambush arranged here is mainly infantry, without the ability to quickly support.
In this way, the enemy army in the enclave watched the black cavalry, like a black dragon, rush and kill in the phalanx, and a moment later, another black cavalry phalanx appeared and pounced on the phalanx again.
At this time, even if the phalanx against the cavalry was completed, it would be too late to go to support.
The 2,000 enclave infantry, like this, could only fight to the death on the flat ground, facing the same number of cavalry as their own.
And at this moment, in front of the big battalion, the same number of black-armored cavalry appeared, cutting off their last retreat.
"Ah...... Burst. The halberd swung through the armor of the last enemy, and blood spurted out, and the enemy's eyes widened, and his whole body quickly disappeared, and he fell to the ground.
Blood, staining the verdant lawn red. At this moment, on this plain, there are dead bodies.
The crimson blood gathered into a small stream, which flowed slowly down the grass into the distance.
The black-armored cavalry, slew all the enemies, instigated their horses, and gathered in the phalanx.
In this battle, 2,000 enemy troops were killed, and their own battle losses were 75 people.
This is an absolute, disparity in strength.
The returning cavalry, expressionless, did not even gasp for breath. They waved their horses and joined the phalanx.
If you don't look at the red blood on their bodies and the blood droplets that drip from time to time on their horses, you would think that these sergeants have never fought at all.
