Main text 3515 Elegy in the wind (VIII)

The decisive battle in the Elun Valley broke out so suddenly. The 70,000-horse army relied on their superiority in military strength to kill the 30,000 Imperial Xiting cavalry attacking the Elun Valley. The battlefield was already filled with arrows.

"Move forward"

"Kill over!" The Martin Liya light cavalry on both sides held up the small bucklers tied to their right hands. Encouraged by the shouts, they stepped densely into the water network in front of them. Countless feather arrows flew out from the water towards the shore. As the Martin Liya light cavalry pouring wildly across the water network, they heard a thin sound of water breaking, and a Ripples rippled in dense circles, "bastard, how did this go!" The sound of cracking flesh and bones pierced the eardrums like raindrops, arousing a scream, and the small shield in the hands of Martin Liya Cavalry was Clusters of arrows flew into the air, and the head, shattered by the flying iron arrows, exploded like a rotten watermelon. Red, white, and gray things were flying everywhere, but under the military order, the Martin Liya cavalry behind them still moved forward like a tide,

Martin Liya's light cavalry had been forcibly resisting the nerves like clusters of locust arrows on the opposite side, and finally they could no longer bear it. Not to mention, these black armored cavalry who were constantly drawing their bows and strings in their hands just rushed away as soon as they approached. The result of their bloody sprint was to look at each other's horse tail running away, and the cold eyes full of mockery.

These black-armored horse archers who ran away did not collapse, but as long as they distanced themselves, a series of arrow clusters flew towards them. The Martin Liya light cavalry pursued them hard, and soon found that they were surrounded by black-armored horse archers. , a thousand-man chief of the Cananello family watched with blood-red eyes as his subordinates were shot over one by one by flying arrows. Human blood dyed the water below with a thick red color, and the floating corpses were almost It blocked the water flow, but all of a sudden, his troops fell. In the film, a squad leader who was valued by him was wearing armor that was more sophisticated than ordinary soldiers. He still couldn't block these arrow clusters that came like locusts. The soldiers around him all shot, and the squad leader sprayed loudly. of dirty blood, reach out and think He pulled out the iron arrow that was still stained with blood and broken into pieces. In an instant, it was shot into flesh and blood by the rain of arrows from the sky. It was smashed straight into the bloody water at his feet. "You can't make it, go back!" What are you doing? You haven’t ordered it to stop yet!”

His cry was in vain. Under Carnason's insistence, the 70,000 Martin Liya elite troops launched a charge through this water network. The water network used to block the cavalry on the opposite side became the Martin Liya themselves at this moment. The biggest obstacle is that the light cavalry is very fast. As the first step into the water network, under the heavy fire of 30,000 Xiting bow archers, the light cavalry was also the first to be confused. They saw their companions around them being hit by arrows one after another. fall, water surface Almost all the floating corpses on the water blocked the way forward. The frightened Martin Liya light cavalry could no longer distinguish between east, west, north and south. There were at least three to four thousand corpses of dead people and the corpses of horses blocked in the water net. Even if Martin Liya rushed towards the opposite side, Before the Martin Tooth Light Cavalry could rush in front of the opponent, they were turned into blood by the arrow clusters. These elite Martin Tooth Light Cavalry fell forward instead of backwards. This was the weakest but also the most tragic. charge,

On the water surface, because the dead people were so densely packed, it was impossible to tell who was whose. The archers of Martin Liya Army fought back across the water, but faced with the highly mobile light cavalry that seemed to be performing a dance of death, ordinary infantry shooters The counterattacks were like a drizzle, which was completely incomparable to the Emperor's arrow attacks that were so dense that it could make one's scalp explode. Often when the arrow clusters fell, the horse archers were already in full swing. Throw the fallen arrow clusters dozens or hundreds of meters away, and The target of these Imperial West Court Archers is the densely packed Martin Liya army that is struggling to force its way through waist-deep water nets. "Sir, our army has suffered more than five thousand casualties, and because it is an active attack, we have planned the battle previously. The plan is completely useless. Please order the attack to stop immediately and not push it forward any further! "A general from the Cananello family knelt down on one knee in front of Carnason, whose eyes were red as if he was betting on everything. The generals also knelt down,

The scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood in front of him also frightened Carnason himself. He was stunned for more than ten seconds before he realized that what he saw before him was not in his dream.

The wind with the smell of blood was so strong that it made people want to vomit. The floating corpses were soaked and turned white. More than five thousand people fell down in such a short period of time. The human bodies were like neatly cut fallen wheat straw, falling and stacking together. It's not that I have never seen this scene before, but with such a dense number of corpses floating on the water net, even the savage Carnason was frightened by the brutality of this meat grinder.

"You idiots, idiots!"

His face was full of annoyance. He rubbed his swollen temples with his fingers, took a deep breath, and swept his angry eyes over the generals of the Canane family who were kneeling in front of him. He said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you even know which orders to listen to and which orders not to listen to? I was just impulsive, how could it become like this! The military force of my Cananero family that has ruled the Iren Valley for decades, and the vine legion that can be ranked in the top five among the more than 70 lords of Martinliya, has been ruined by one-tenth. Are you worthy of the trust and gift of my Cananero family to you?" "It was the adults who gave the order to attack!" Someone inside whispered indignantly, "Assholes, are you questioning me!" Canasen raised his hand angrily, took a few steps forward, and pointed fiercely in the direction of the Empire's black armored cavalry." Are you blind! If it weren't for my arrangement, could you stop the cavalry on the opposite side! If you can perform better, why would our army be trapped by the other side? Into such a miserable situation? Our army is obviously twice the enemy's, and we have Biayan City as a backup, but you can still beat us like this, is it my fault? "

The generals of the Cananero family raised their heads and looked at each other, their eyes were full of shock, and they didn't know how to answer. Lord Canasen was clearly trying to pass the buck.

The army was deployed in this area where the army's advantage could not be exerted, and they relied on the water network to resist the enemy's cavalry advantage. There were also people with rich war experience among the generals. Some of them pointed out before the war that the water network was a double-edged sword. When blocking the enemy's cavalry attack, it also restricted our side. However, this suggestion was naturally ignored by Lord Canasen. After learning that the number of enemies invading the Iren Valley was only 30,000, he hastily decided to gather troops for a decisive battle. Before the enemy attacked, he gave the order to attack. Not only did the advantage of the water network disappear, but it also became an obstacle for our side. Now that it has become like this, all the responsibilities are pushed onto the generals! "Pass my order, stop the attack. It's a pity that my strategic master-level arrangement, but no matter how good it is, it's useless to rely on you incompetent people, no matter how good the arrangement is!" Canason withdrew his gaze from the shocked faces of the generals, as if all the faults were others'. With deep disappointment on his face, he sighed to the generals. After all, he was only the acting head of the family, not the real head of the Cananello family. The Cananello family was one of the great lords of the Martinliya Kingdom, and the vine legion under its command was famous. If the news of this failure was passed back to the family, his position as the acting head of the family would be in jeopardy. Fortunately, the main force of Martinliya is now stranded in the battlefield of the Church State, and there is no possibility of returning in a short time, and the western border of Martinliya The important town of Katu was breached, and the Iren Valley controlled by the Cananero family became particularly important. At this time, it was quite unwise for the Cananero family to face the 200,000 Anser army. It happened that the Sam tribe came again, and Canasen took advantage of the opportunity to get the cooperation rights of Katu that the family had always coveted. Because of this, Canasen's position as the acting head of the family was consolidated a lot. At this moment, the imperial army invaded the Iren Valley. After learning that there were only 30,000 enemies, Canasen immediately ordered to mobilize all the main forces of the family for a decisive battle. "My Cananero family has the advantage of military strength and geographical advantages. We are united and have many powerful generals. We will definitely be able to inflict heavy damage on the invading enemy!" Canasen never dreamed that his first battle of commanding the family army would end like this …

Black armor like clouds, a large group of Xiting cavalry gathered under a golden flag, the battle in front was almost frozen, under the arrows of Xiting archers, the vision seemed to be slightly distorted

"Sir, the enemy has begun to retreat" A Xiting cavalry galloped over and reined in his horse in front of Duo Weiyan

Duo Weiyan raised his hand to the front and burst out with a terrifying breath "Forward!"

He has been waiting for this moment for a full hour. The tactics of the grassland cavalry are the tactics of wolves. For strong enemies, they will drag them to death and collapse. For fleeing enemies, they will chase them closely until the opponent sheds the last drop of blood and falls. The grassland cavalry will not let go. The 60,000 to 70,000 Martinliya army is now in chaos. Not only are the cavalry and infantry completely out of touch, but even the front and rear troops are also All of them were crowded southward because of the command disorder. If they didn't know how to seize such an opportunity, they would not be Duo Weiyan, who was praised by the whole of Obaro as the fierce wolf of the grassland under the seat of the emperor of the empire. The East and West Courts have always been in the position of reaping the fruits of the swift sword in the war of imperial expansion. Therefore, although the generals of the two courts were not listed as the orthodox generals of the Obaro continent, the two courts' reputation for evil was far higher than that of ordinary imperial legions. At least the imperial legions seized military merits and achievements, and were not very interested in civilians, and generally would not kill innocent people indiscriminately. The two courts were naked massacre professionals. More than half of the empire's reputation for brutality was due to the two courts. The two courts did not want military merits, but wanted heads. The empire's real gold and silver bounty was there. In the eyes of the West Court Army, the densely packed Martin Liya people in front of them were all bright lies.

The bow strings were fired for more than an hour, and most of the two barrels of arrows per rider were shot. At this moment, after hearing the order, the Xiting cavalry retracted their bows, and the heavy melee cavalry was the first to fire out, with a sharp force that spanned the earth. Gas, the people and horses shot out like sharp arrows, shouting "advance" from all around. It spread to the entire plain, and tens of thousands of Xiting cavalry echoed loudly. The shouts surged like a tidal wave. War horses crowded with war horses. Rows of people held up wooden shields with iron bones in their hands. People were stacked on top of each other, and horses were stacked on top of each other. The horse, with its black and cold armor, was like a whole body, rushing directly towards the Martin Liya man who was still running in the water net.

Rumbling, the water surface is swaying, and in the silent air, there is a huge and staggering power. There is almost no need to encourage morale. The Xiting Army is like a swarm of ants smelling the sweetness of candy, working hard without caring about their own lives, countless horse hooves, just like this Without fear, they stepped into the rolling white waves in front of them. The water violently hit these Xiting cavalry. The current was as turbulent as a mountain falling and the earth was cracking, rolling up a large piece of white. "Help!" "Run!" Martin Li Yajun who was still in the water network was so frightened that he ran around. Some fell into the deep water and were just struggling in the water. I was flopping around, I had a big mouthful of river water in my mouth, and I couldn't float for a long time. My hands were clawing around. This has nothing to do with bravery, it is completely a normal survival response of the human body.

"Poof!" A prairie cavalry raised his scimitar and did not hesitate to catch up with a Martin Liya infantryman. The sword flashed fiercely, and the bright red blood drew an eye-catching red line in the air. This prairie cavalry was like this Holding the head, looking for the next target with cold and indifferent eyes, there are too many prey. , are all wealth. If you are lucky, you can earn everything needed for your family to survive the winter safely. The Martin Liya people are chased and hacked to death like ducks. Some people even find that they cannot win. Under such circumstances, it is better to just use a weapon to chop off one's own legs and kill one person than two people! puff! puff! Blood sprays kept appearing on the river, and Martin Liya people with broken legs kept rolling in the water and wailing.

"Woo"

The horns of the prairie people have become the main sound on the battlefield

Martin Li Ya's army, which had been surging like a tide before, under the hooves of the Xiting cavalry, their individual shouts suddenly stopped in the boiling sound. Their flesh and blood turned into powder, and the war horses were hit by arrows and overturned, and the smoke was rolled up. , the man's body flew up in the air, and the heavy body of the war horse squeezed on the nearby soldiers. With a bang, the man was pressed under the war horse, and the shield was twisted. , burst, the person in front was pushed hard by the person behind, and was knocked into the water by the cavalry, thick blood overflowed, the people who turned around to run away were like huge hills collapsing, and behind them were groups of people. The Xiting cavalry entered the river. Starting from the first thousand people who entered the river, more Xiting cavalry gradually began to enter on horseback. The number was staggering.

It was as if a huge gate was suddenly inserted into the river thousands of meters away. The river channel was divided and replaced by countless horse heads and human heads. They were the Xiting cavalry with scimitars in their mouths. The cavalry were as dense as scales. The buckler made Carnason on the opposite side stunned. Such a thrilling sight reminded him of the spectacular sight of the great migration of wildebeest and antelope on the Martinliya Prairie. It was even more shocking. People, It turns out that it can be done like this!
