708 Cut off the tail (2)

Baozi sincerely thanks: Bai Panggao 1980 cast an evaluation vote; Hei Yin rewarded 100 starting coins;

Eridami, the commander of the Third Banner of the Central Army, stood on a high rock and looked into the distance with cold eyes. The place that was originally the mountain pass was now completely dyed half of the sky red by the steaming flames.

Pillars of fiery red and bright fire rose from time to time in the distant night like magic, followed by rumbling explosions one after another.

Along with the mountain wind came the unpleasant burning smell and the shrill sound of fighting. Everything seems as unreal as a dream, as if in a dream

The black torrent stumbled into the mountain road where it was located,

The sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer below was like rolling muffled thunder that shook everything. Such power made even the cliffs on both sides of the mountain road tremble.

Eridami's face moved slightly,

The remnant Dongting troops, numbering 35,000, were fleeing in panic and were so powerful. No wonder even His Majesty was unwilling to fight with the Dongting cavalry in the mountains and plains.

In order to escape for their lives, the Dongting people will definitely go all out this time.

The most elite black-armored horse archers opened the way, and the light-armored melee cavalry who were fast and capable of responding from both sides were in the middle.

Finally, there is the heavy cavalry, which is bulkier in size and speed.

The thunder god's bombardment just now, although it did not cause much damage to the main force of Dongting, it has already made the people of Dongting frightened.

The road ahead was blocked by rocks, and coupled with the panic of suddenly encountering an ambush,

Tens of thousands of Dongting cavalry could only turn like rats on fire, without any choice, into this narrow passage connected to the mountain pass. This is the mountain pass leading to the south.

In order to let the people of Dongting follow the predetermined route, the thunder god in the distance continued to fire cannonballs.

"Sir, the people from Dongting are here"

The adjutant's nervous voice came from the side. Eremida looked away from a distance, her calm face suddenly filled with murderous intent.

On both sides of him, the Vickian crossbowmen lined up half-crouched on both sides of the rock wall, holding their crossbows and completely blending into the rocks in the black night, with only the howling mountain wind blowing by.

This is the ambush area of ​​his Third Flag Regiment.

According to the plan, 8,000 of the most elite crossbowmen have already controlled the high cliffs on both sides of the mountain road. He is the commander of the second ambush line, like a strong lasso, turning the entire mountain road into a lasso. The death of the fierce horse who lives in the East Courtyard Cavalry

Soon, the vanguard of the Dongting cavalry entered the mountain road, and thousands of black armored cavalry rushed at the front.

"ignition"

Arimeda raised her hands high,

Following an order, the crossbowmen on both sides simultaneously lit the torches that had been inserted on the cliffs on both sides. These torches stained with black oil could not be blown out no matter how strong the mountain wind was.

"Huh!" Countless red lights suddenly appeared on both sides of the high mountain road like magic.

Like two huge red dragons, they illuminated the entire mountain road in an instant.

There are also a large number of torches dropped from the top of the mountain like meteors, illuminating the crowded figures of the Dongting cavalry below.

"Ambush, there is an ambush"

The panic-filled shouts of the Dongting cavalry were heard below, and the rumble of horse hooves was even paused.

"shoot"

The crossbow captains above the cliff shouted, and the sharp swords in their hands suddenly swung down, "Beng, Beng. Beng◇The strong bow string brought a roar of wind, countless black images, locusts bursting on the horizon, black Arrowheads cover the sky along the narrow mountain road,

"Neigh" Hundreds of running horses seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and were instantly shot into a hornet's nest. The horses with their front hooves losing support rolled and threw the Dongting cavalry above them heavily. These Dongting cavalry Wearing fine black armor, he is the most powerful black-armored archer in the East Courtyard.

“Swish swish.

The black arrowheads were like a swarm of locusts rushing towards the wheat field, covering the heads of the Dongting Cavalry with roar and killing. The powerful impact of the crossbow arrows caused the Dongting Cavalry to roll onto the ground in large numbers, including men and horses. Arrowhead's horses ran around uncontrollably, and the cavalry rolling on the ground were trampled to pieces by the chaotic horses' hooves. The entire queue was in chaos.

“Fight back, fight back”

King Hatalu of the Eastern Court brandished his saber and shouted with blood-red eyes. Countless black-armored cavalrymen took off their recurve bows and used the rocks as a shield to fight back at the crossbowmen above.

"Damn it, these Dongting shooters are too tenacious." The anxious battle situation made Eremida curse in anger. Arrows shuttled back and forth between the two sides. The strength of the Dongting shooters was fully demonstrated at this moment.

The powerful archery skills they have practiced since childhood allowed these Dongting elites to respond hastily to the challenge, but still managed to equalize with the crossbowmen on the top of the mountain with the powerful recurve bows in their hands. Both sides suffered losses. From time to time, the corpses of the Wikiya crossbowmen emerged from the Falling from the top of the mountain, it was about to be suppressed, allowing the Dongting army to break out.

At this moment, "Bang, Bang. Bang." A roar that ripped through the air came from the direction of the last mountain pass. Thousands of elite black-armored archers were struggling to pull their bows, like straw being cut. In an instant, the body in thick armor was pierced by some kind of long arrowhead and nailed deeply to the hard rock behind.

"It's Bo Lawu who really knows how to take advantage of his crossbows."

Arimeda raised her head in joy, followed the direction of the cold light, and through the bright firelight on the top of the mountain, she saw on the other side of the hill, strange weapons were pouring arrows here, and she was caught off guard. The archers in the East Courtyard were constantly hit by arrows and fell down like wheat straw being harvested.

The one-meter-long iron-headed giant arrow shot at the place where the Dongting people were hiding, sending rubble flying. The metal giant arrow shattered the hard rock into pieces, and chained together the shooters behind.

"It's a Vecian ballista"

The Dongting Khan King Hatalu, who had just thought he saw a glimmer of victory below, suddenly turned pale. He had heard that the Vykians had a powerful mechanically driven crossbow that could not only fire several arrow clusters at once, but also pierce through. The knight is heavily armored, but this is just a legend after all, but it is completely different to actually see it now.

The sudden blow from the opposite side was so violent that almost half of the black-armored archers who opened the way were cut off in half. After a fierce battle all night, not only did the black-armored archers suffer heavy losses, but almost all of them were injured. Suddenly, the momentum of the people in Dongting was... Once it is revealed, if we cannot break through as soon as possible, it is not impossible that the entire army will be annihilated in this valley.

"Let Zamusuo's heavy cavalry enter"

The subordinates he saw were definitely the ones to be killed. King Hatalu of Dongting Khan quickly ordered the heavy-armed melee cavalry behind them to be brought up and "advance."

◎∷

Five thousand heavily armored Dongting cavalry lined up, holding round cavalry shields to cover their bodies. They were covered in heavy armor and pushed forward like a thick iron wall.

The vests rubbed against each other, and they were crowded together, layer upon layer building a steel human wall. This was a tragic team.

They have no weapons to fight back, and the only thing they can provide their companions is the shield in their hands, which is only used to hold up the bodies of their companions in front.

They are the warriors of Dongting Grassland, and their belief in sacrificing everything for the tribe has long been integrated into their blood.

"Move forward, for the sake of King Khan, for the tribe, for the grassland, move forward"

The voices of the warriors in the East Courtyard seemed extremely solemn and majestic. Compared with this, the arrowheads that struck above their heads seemed particularly ferocious and harsh.

The crossfire line formed by 14,000 Wikia crossbowmen and 50 crossbow vehicles turned the short distance of 100 meters to the exit of the mountain road into a terrifying Shura killing field.

"Bang bang bang" In the countless cold light, rows of Dongting heavy cavalry were hit by arrows one after another. Their bodies were torn apart like toys by the powerful crossbow arrows, and blood splashed on the faces of their companions behind them.

"Move forward, if you don't want to die, keep moving forward," Khan King Khatalu from behind shouted,

Although the killing machine made by the Wikiyan is powerful, it is very troublesome to load. As long as it can withstand a round of shooting, it can rush out of the gap by taking advantage of the gap.

"Shoot!" The coverage of the crossbow came again, and there was a harsh tearing sound from a cluster of arrows overhead. "Pap, crack, crack." The shields of the heavy cavalry in the second row were shattered under the crossbows. The heavily armored cavalry above them It was like being hit head-on by a heavy hammer, and it flew up with such force that it collided heavily with the shield of the companion behind it.

"Crack!" Everyone in the East Courtyard on the mountain path below fell on their backs and rolled over.

The heavy cavalry who received the death order from King Khan could no longer control so much. They charged forward fearlessly with the corpses and scraps of their companions, letting the crossbowmen above their heads pour down clusters of death arrows.

Pieces of corpses fell down, but more Dongting cavalry came up, first the black-armored horse archers, then the light-armored assault cavalry, and finally even Khan King Hatalu came in with the royal guards, and the narrow mountain road was completely It became a massacre for the Dongting cavalry, and the two Falcon Flag commanders on the top of the mountain who directed the shooting were also secretly frightened.

After several rounds of firing, the crossbow finally stopped.

“The opportunity finally came”

A sharp look flashed in the bloodshot eyes of King Haluta of the East Court. As he advanced, he was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Although there was a thick shoulder guard to block it, the arrow cluster was still deeply embedded in the shoulder and collarbone. Let him stain his shirt with blood

"Assault with all your strength, rush out"

Looking at the mountain pass that was already within easy reach, Khan King Haluta led the Khan King's guards and rushed forward. Without the support of the crossbow vehicles, the exhausted Falcon Crossbowmen could not block such a short-distance assault by tens of thousands of cavalry.

The Dongting cavalry finally burst out from the mountain pass like a flood that broke a dike. It was not until they rushed several miles away that the torrent slowly stopped. A fish-white color appeared in the distant sky, and it was already dawn.

This is a vast grassland with green wheat grass and crystal clear dew hanging on the stems and leaves of flowers and plants. It looks peaceful and sweet, just like it does every day.

"Thanks to Changshengtian, we rushed out"

Khan King Hatalu murmured in a low voice, and slowly loosened his grip on the horse's reins. Due to excessive blood loss, his body swayed, and he fell off the horse with a pale face.

Panting heavily, I felt that all the strength in my body seemed to be drained out. My bloody fingers dug deeply into the soil, and I knelt heavily on the ground.

"Father," Prince Haglu, ran not far away. The Prince of Dongting shouted excitedly, "We rushed out, we rushed out, we can go back to the grassland."

"Yes, back to the grassland"

Khan King Khatalu's heart was filled with sadness,

Thinking of the grassland where he raised his troops, this resolute and immortal hero could not hide the tears rolling in his eyes at this moment. How high-spirited he was when the 100,000-strong army marched south, but now he is like a drowned dog with bruises all over his body.

First defeated and Amyra, after being ambushed in the mountain canyon, the 100,000-strong army still has less than 10,000 troops left around, and the elite black-armored archers have almost been lost. How can such strength have the dignity to return to the grassland?
