Chapter 278: Annihilation of the Enemy Army
There were still about fifty miles left before the ambush site, and the old iron head took the time to look at the pursuers behind him, "Slow down a little faster! Don't let them feel that they can't catch up!"
"Start preparing to send signals, Lao Shi and they should have been ready a long time ago, as long as they rush up, no one will be an opponent!"
The earth was roaring, and the two thousand cavalry in front of them brought up the dust that rushed to the sky, and the five thousand Junshang cavalry in the back followed behind to eat the soil, but the two thousand deserters in front were about to catch up, which made them want to stop!
"General, the two land immortals accompanying the army have not returned yet, will there be a fraud?" an attendant reminded the general who led the troops.
"What can be any deception? The two land immortals are still in the realm of our monarch and merchants, do you think our border defense line has been infiltrated?" the general said in a low voice.
"The subordinates don't dare, it's just that this disarmoured battalion was known as the first cavalry in the world back then, and we can't take it lightly. The squire was still doing his duty and put forward his own ideas.
The general pondered for a moment, "It's been twenty years since the number one in the world, and now they are already old, weak, sick and disabled, but what you said is right, prepare to send a signal, once we have a problem, we can also let the direction of Xuanming City be on guard!"
A flying eagle with the army soared into the sky, but was stopped by Su Heng, who was following behind.
Su Heng took out the secret letter at the foot of the flying eagle, "Sure enough, I am still suspicious, this cavalry is not bad, but it's a pity." ”
The cavalry of both sides galloped rapidly across the vast land, and soon reached the ambush site.
The old iron head let out a low shout, "Ready!"
All the old pawns lay on their horses, and the speed of the treading cloud horse under the crotch increased a little again.
The hillside in front of them was close at hand, and a sky-shattering thunder suddenly rushed out of the array of the disarming battalion!
In the daytime, you can already see the fireworks exploding in the sky!
Lao Shi, who was six or seven miles away, raised the horse pistol in his hand, "Upper armor!"
"Qiang Qiang ......"
The sound of the cold iron cavalry grinding was uniform, and the heavy cavalry was all covered in iron armor at this time, and only a pair of eyes shot out of the cold iron helmet.
The earth began to shake slowly!
Lao Shi took the lead in launching the first heavy cavalry charge in the past twenty years!
For twenty years, Lao Shi has always been unwilling to give up the heavy cavalry, and has trained countless times, so he finally opened up a position in the territory of Junshang.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
......
The sound of horses' hooves gradually became stronger, the earth roared, and the horseman's crotch began to spread its hooves and run forward.
It's getting faster and faster!
Three miles passed in the blink of an eye, and the oncoming old iron head with two thousand old soldiers also began to divide into two ways, preparing to bypass the heavy cavalry on both sides, and at this time they were still blocking the sight of those Junshang cavalry behind them!
The sound of horses' hooves came together!
Landslides and cracks!
Lao Shi clenched his pistol, his eyes were like electricity, and he leaned forward, almost sticking to the horse's back, so that he could maintain the best forward posture!
Behind, the speed of the Junshang cavalry, which was restrained by the hillside, slowly slowed down.
The general raised his hand in front of him, signaling to slow down the pursuit.
"Something is wrong!"
"There are dirt slopes on both sides of this place, which is very suitable for laying an ambush!"
"There seems to be something wrong in front of the general!" the attendant pointed to the disarmouring battalion in front, "They seem to be ready to divide their troops!
When the general heard this, he saw that the ground in front of him was almost shattered, and the smoke and dust flew into the air, not at all like only two thousand cavalry.
At this moment, the end of the two thousand old soldiers of the disarming battalion was completely separated, revealing the heavy cavalry that was blocked from view!
Nasen's cold eyes, and the terrifying murderous aura that was as silent as a mountain suddenly flew into the sky.
"No! it's ...... Heavy cavalry!"
"Retreat!"
The general decisively ordered a retreat, the terrain here was bound by dirt slopes on both sides, and it was necessary to return to the open terrain and drag the heavy cavalry so that there was a chance to besiege it!
As long as the speed of the heavy cavalry reaches the limit, it can exert its power to the extreme, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the heavy cavalry because of the heavy armor, the burden on the war horse is extremely heavy, and the time to maintain the peak speed is not long, as long as this period of time is delayed, the power of the heavy cavalry will be greatly reduced!
The general is very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of all kinds of troops, and he also decisively issued an order, but the heavy cavalry led by Lao Shi has completely raised the speed at this time, and the speed of the cloud horse is more than three times that of ordinary war horses.
"Spread out to the dirt slopes on both sides!" the general of Jun Shang issued another order, and he could see that the vanguard army would definitely not be able to evacuate the range of the dirt slope, and now he had to go up the dirt slope and not let the heavy cavalry exert its full power on the flat ground.
However, at this moment, hundreds of arrows suddenly flew out of the dirt slopes on both sides, round after round, and the arrows almost formed a line, pouring down towards the Junshang cavalry.
Almost in the space of ten breaths, a rain of arrows enveloped the Junshang cavalry.
The screams suddenly resounded in the sky.
"Quick, rush up the dirt slope!" The general directly pulled out the arrow on his left arm, and then drew the long knife at his waist and rushed towards the dirt slope.
As the vanguard, it is impossible for him to escape from the range of the slope, and now only by breaking out of the encirclement can he have a chance to escape!
The rumbling hooves of the heavy cavalry behind him were extremely harsh in this chaotic battlefield, like ringing the death knell of the Junshang cavalry, constantly approaching!
"Kill!"
The heavy cavalry was only a hundred meters away from the Junshang cavalry, and suddenly Lao Shi burst out with a shout of killing through the golden cracking stone!
In an instant, the shouting of killing resounded through the world like a mountain and a tsunami!
At this time, the three hundred heavy cavalry actually rushed out of the irresistible sharp aura that only 10,000 cavalry had!
The two sides finally collided together, the heavy cavalry was like a tiger into the flock, the Junshang cavalry could not resist at all, the people who were charged by the heavy cavalry turned over on their backs, once the people fell off the horse, they were directly turned into mud, even if they were lucky not to fall down, they were also pierced into a sugar gourd by the horse pistol held by the heavy cavalry, and blood was sprinkled all over the ground.
Even the war horse is not immune at this time, as long as it is caught up by the heavy cavalry, there is only a dead end.
Everywhere there were the remains of minced flesh left behind after the massacre.
However, the Junshang cavalry who rushed up the dirt slope sadly found that another cavalry rushed out from behind the dirt slope.
The cavalry opened their jaws like wolves, trying to devour them all.
The slaughter continued, and the cavalry of the merchants, who had withdrawn from the slopes, stopped in despair, because in front of them, the cavalry they had just pursued reappeared, and blocked their retreat......
Half an hour passed, and the old iron man gathered his men again.
"Forty-seven heavy cavalry wounded, no one killed!"
"Fifty-nine archers were seriously wounded, three hundred and seventy-four were lightly wounded, and thirteen were killed!"
......
The various departments reported the number of casualties, and the old iron head nodded slightly heavily, the three thousand old soldiers were already the last people in the disarming battalion, and each death was a painful blow to the others.
"Take your brother's bones, clean up the battlefield and set off!" shouted the old iron head.
Su Heng also fell into the clouds, and collected all the souls of the Junshang cavalry, and the souls of the dozens of dead disarming veterans were also collected by him, but they were not refined, but placed in the deified Jizhong acupoint.
"War, how can there be immortals?" the old iron head patted the battle armor on his body, and it clanged, "Brothers, cheer up and go!"
