Chapter 56: Ambush in the Jungle

The old Mao people fought, to be known for their ferocity and fearlessness of death, since the invasion of the Huns, all the way to the bamboo, almost effortlessly occupied a large area of the Hun steppe, so that Sergei is also a little fluttering. Sergei has been under the suppression of Helian Lu, he was quite unconvinced, but now that he has the opportunity to show his strength, he naturally refuses to let go, and on the second day of coming to Dute Town, he led the army and went down the mountain with great dignity, wanting to break the Juyan Sea Cavalry in one fell swoop.

Xuan Qi discovered that Sergei's army was menacing, and he was unwilling to fight with the lives of his soldiers, so when Sergei's army set off, he had already pulled out the camp to the east, entering the mountains on the south bank of Lake Haraus, and began to set up checkpoints along the way, preparing to consume Sergei's army in this mountain.

Sergei led the army all the way forward, and saw that the camp of the Xuanqi army was very chaotic, and there were many things that had not been cleaned up, so he laughed and bluntly said that Ju Yanhai's cavalry was afraid of him, and Luo Yuan on the side was too lazy to pay attention. As the army crossed the steppe and reached the foot of the mountain, it was almost dark, and the army was stationed at the foot of the mountain.

Early the next morning, Sergei's army began to enter the mountains. As soon as I entered the mountain, the slopes on both sides were relatively gentle, and from a distance, I could see that on the mountain beams on both sides, there were about 5,000 Juyan sea cavalry standing on each side. Sergei began to order the cavalry to divide into 40,000 troops and rush towards the slopes of the hills on either side.

In the shouting, the old hairy cavalry raised the swords and guns in their hands, and gradually rushed to the halfway up the hill. The 5,000 Juyanhai cavalry stretched out their bows and arrows, and after three rounds of shooting, many of the old Maoren cavalry had fallen from their horses and rolled down the hillside. As soon as the impact formation was suffocated, the old Maoren cavalry began to divide their troops into several ways, wanting to surround the Juyanhai cavalry on the mountain beam.

The Juyan sea cavalry on both sides of the mountain beam began to move, slowly increasing the speed of their horses, and walked along the mountain beam. The old hairy cavalry, who had already rushed up the mountain beam, rode their horses and chased after them, closely following behind the Juyanhai cavalry. Xuan Qi led 5,000 cavalry to quickly rush into a mountain cliff, but behind the cliff was a valley covered by dense forests. On the other side, Eligo followed, and 5,000 cavalry rushed into the dense forest.

Tens of thousands of old Mao cavalry quickly followed the dense forest, and after rushing out of more than ten zhang, the war horse under the crotch of the old Mao cavalry at the front was a stumbling horse, as if they had tripped over something. At the same time that the horse that fell forward threw out the cavalry on its back, countless roars began to sound in the dense forest, but the bamboo spear sharpened with bamboo was ejected. The screams and neighing of horses mingled, and countless horses and cavalry were shot out of bamboo spears through their bodies, and they could only lie on the ground and struggle.

The old hairy cavalry behind him couldn't hold his feet at all, and under the iron hooves of the war horse, he was already stepping on the body of his companion. After a panic, the scene slowly calmed down, and at least a thousand old hairy cavalry had already died in a short period of more than a dozen zhang.

Tens of thousands of old hairy cavalry began to gather in the valley, and Sergei's lieutenant Tajevich sent two teams of cavalry and began to walk cautiously towards the dense forest, carefully probing for any mechanisms. After walking out of the dozens of feet, the dense forest was still very calm, and nothing unusual was found. With a wave of his hand, the cavalry behind him began to ride their horses forward slowly, searching along the dense forest, and Tajevich himself led a group of cavalry along the only trail in the dense forest.

After searching for two or three miles, the Juyan Sea Cavalry seemed to disappear out of thin air, completely disappeared, and the old hairy cavalry finally stopped being cautious and gradually increased its speed, but the dense forest still hindered the speed of the old hairy cavalry's advance, because it was necessary to pay attention to countless branches and thorns under their feet at any time.

In the dense forest, countless pairs of eyes were staring at the slowly advancing old hairy cavalry. As Xuan Qi jumped up and slashed the old hairy man on horseback with a knife, countless screams continued to sound from the dense forest. The Juyan Sea Cavalry, who had all given up their mounts and were all equipped with waist knives, would take the life of an old hairy man almost every time they made a shot. In the chaos, the old hairy man began to fight back, but the spear in his hand was really in the way, and almost every shot would be blocked by branches and leaves and tree trunks.

The ruthless waist knife brought up bursts of blood, and the dense forest was full of hidden soldiers of Juyanhai. These Ju Yanhai soldiers, who were accustomed to fighting on horses, were already very familiar with this kind of horse-mounted combat after Xuanqi's training in the past two years. The old hairy man is not accustomed to such a method of warfare at all, and is completely at a disadvantage.

A whole hour passed, and the soldiers of Juyanhai began to retreat in an orderly manner, leaving only the corpses of countless old hairy people in the dense forest. Tayevich finally did not dare to move on, gathered the remnants of the defeated army on both sides of the path, and waited for the arrival of Sergei's army behind him. In the sound of rumbling horses' hooves, Sergei came first, and in the face of the mess in the field, he scolded Jelavich with a slap in the face, and then continued to move forward with the army.

Finally, the vanguard army walked out of the dense forest, but they were stunned by the scene in front of them. On the slopes on both sides of the exit of the trail, countless Juyanhai cavalry waited quietly, countless long arrows flashing with cold light, aimed at the hundreds of old hairy cavalry who rushed out of the dense forest. Countless sharp arrows were shot, turning hundreds of old hairy cavalry into hedgehogs in an instant, and the exit of the trail was densely packed, and there were corpses everywhere.

Sergei roared loudly and made the cavalry rush towards the dense forest on both sides, and the cavalry who had just rushed into the dense forest not far away encountered a large number of soldiers who were still in ambush in the dense forest, and the merciless killing began again. Sergei, who was furious, began to order the cavalry team to fire ten thousand arrows, and countless sharp arrows rained into the dense forest, so that the soldiers of Juyanhai also began to have a large number of casualties.

Xuan Qi, who didn't want to see the casualties of the soldiers, had to order the army to withdraw from the dense forest, and completely handed over the dense forest to the army of the old Maoren. As more and more old hairy cavalry continued to pour out, the dense rain of arrows on the slopes on both sides played a great role, and patches of old hairy cavalry were shot through the body by sharp arrows, lying on the ground and wailing.

Sergei, who completely ignored the casualties of his cavalry, completely risked his lives to fill in, and finally began to occupy some high ground and formed a counterattack against the Juyanhai cavalry. Xuanqi, who was unwilling to fight hard with Sergei's army, ordered the army to begin to retreat slowly, and did not stop until it retreated to the Usanhetlin Pass.

Seeing that the mountain pass was steep and difficult to conquer for a while, Sergei's army simply set up camp not far from the mountain pass and began to count the number of casualties. In one day, Sergei's 100,000-strong army lost more than 17,000 people killed and 30,000 wounded, and half of its combat strength was removed at once.
