708 cut off the tail (two)
Baozi’s sincere thanks: Bai Panggao voted for 1 evaluation in 1980; Heiyin rewards 100 starting coins;
The commander of the Third Banner of the Central Army, Eredami, stood on a high rock, staring coldly into the distance. The place that was originally a mountain pass was now completely reddened by the transpiring flames.
The fiery red and bright pillars of fire rise from time to time in the distant night like magic, and then there are bursts of rumbling explosions one after another,
Following the mountain breeze came the unpleasant scorching smell and the stern sound of fighting. Everything appears to be dreamlike and unreal, as if in a dream
The black torrent stumbled into the mountain road where it was,
The sound of horseshoes getting closer and closer below, like the thunder that frightens everything, is rolling, the kind of power, that is, the cliffs on both sides of the mountain are also trembling,
Iredami’s face moved slightly,
The remnants of the Eastern Court, with a number of 35,000, are fleeing in a panic and are so powerful. It is no wonder that even Your Majesty is unwilling to fight the Eastern Court cavalry in the mountains and plains.
In order to escape for their lives, the Dongting people definitely went all out this time.
The most elite black armored cavalry opened the way, and the lightly armed melee cavalry, which was fast and able to respond on both sides, was centered.
Finally, heavy cavalry with a relatively heavy size and speed,
The Thunder's bombardment just now did not cause much loss to the main force of the East Court, but it has already made the people of the East Court like a bird of fright.
The road ahead was blocked by rocks, plus the panic of a sudden ambush,
Tens of thousands of East Court cavalry can only be like a mouse lit by fire. They have no choice but to turn into this narrow passage connecting with the mountain pass. This is the mountain pass leading to the south.
In order for the people of Dongting to follow the predetermined route, Thor in the distance is still firing cannonballs,
"My lord, the people from Dongting are here"
There was a nervous voice from the adjutant next to him, Eremida retracted his gaze from a distance, and his calm face was suddenly full of murderous aura,
On both sides of him, the Viking crossbowmen lined up half-crouched on both sides of the rock wall, holding their crossbows, and completely integrated with the rocks in the black night, only the whistling mountain breeze passed by.
This is the ambush area of his Third Banner,
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, which will connect the entire mountain road. It turned into a deadly festival that trapped the strong horse of Dongting cavalry
Soon, the forward of the eastern cavalry entered the mountain road, and thousands of black armored archers rushed to the forefront
"Ignition"
Iremida raised her hand high,
With an order, the crossbowmen on both sides ignited the torches that had been inserted on the cliffs on both sides at the same time. This torch, which was infested with black oil, could not be blown out even if the mountain breeze was strong.
"Call" Numerous red lights suddenly appeared on both sides of the high mountain road like magic,
Like two huge red dragons, it instantly illuminates the entire mountain road.
There are also a large number of torches thrown down from the top of the mountain like meteors, illuminating the crowded figures of the eastern cavalry below
"Ambushes, there are ambushes"
The panic shouts of the East Court cavalry came from below, and the rumbling of horses' hooves even stopped,
"Shoot"
The captains of the crossbowmen above the cliff shouted, and the sharp swords in their hands suddenly swung down, "Beng, Beng. Beng. The strong bowstring of the crossbow brought a whistling wind. Countless black images of locusts raging on the horizon , The black arrowhead covers the sky of the long narrow mountain road,
"Hiss" Hundreds of running war horses were like ramming into an invisible wall, and they were instantly shot into a hornet's nest. The war horses that lost their front feet rolled and threw the eastern cavalry above them heavily. The East Court cavalry wears excellent black armor, and the East Court’s strongest class of black armor archers
"Swish swish.
The black arrowheads are like a swarm of locusts pounced on the wheat field, with howling and killing, covering the heads of the Eastern Cavalry. The powerful impact of the crossbow arrows made the Eastern Cavalry roll on the ground. , The horses with arrowheads ran uncontrollably, and the cavalry tumbling on the ground was trampled into pieces by the chaotic horse hooves. The entire queue is in chaos.
"Counter-attack counterattack"
Khan King Hatalu of Dongting Khan brandished his saber and shouted with blood red eyes. Countless black armored archers unfurled their recurve bows and counterattacked the crossbowmen above with rocks as a cover.
"Damn, these East Court shooters are too tenacious." The anxious battle situation made Eremida yell at him. Arrow clusters shuttled back and forth between the two sides. The strength of the East Court shooters was vividly demonstrated at this moment.
The strong archery practiced since childhood allows these elites in the East to fight in a hurry, but they still use the powerful recurve bows in their hands to shoot at the same level as the crossbowmen on the top of the mountain. Both sides have suffered losses. From time to time, there are Vekia crossbowmen. The corpse fell from the top of the mountain, and it seemed to be overwhelmed, allowing the East Court army to break through
At this moment, "Beng, Beng. Beng. A whistling sound of tearing the air came from the direction of the last mountain pass, and I saw thousands of elite black armor archers struggling to draw their bows, like being cut. The straw was instantly twisted into a pile of pieces of meat by countless bursts of cold light. The body in heavy armor was pierced by some kind of long arrowhead, and it was deeply nailed to the hard rock behind
"It's the ballista of this guy Polawu, he's really good at picking up the bargain"
Eremida looked up happily, following the direction of the cold light flying, through the bright fire light from the top of the mountain, saw that on the hill on the other side, a strange weapon was pouring down here. The Dongting shooter who was caught off guard was constantly hitting arrows and falling like wheatgrass being harvested
The one-meter-long iron-headed giant arrow shot from the place where the Dongting people hid. The metal giant arrow collapsed the hard rock into fragments, connecting the archers behind in a chain.
"It's the Ballista of the Wikiyas"
Below, I just felt that the king of Dongting Khan, who saw a glimmer of victory, turned pale. He had heard that the Vikings had a powerful mechanically driven crossbow arrow, which could not only shoot several arrow clusters at once, And it can penetrate the knight’s heavy armor, but this is just a legend after all, but now it’s two different things to see it.
The sudden blow from the opposite side was so violent that almost half of the black armored archers who opened in front were cut off. After a fierce battle, the black armored archers not only suffered heavy losses, but also almost injured all of them. If you can’t break through as quickly as possible, it’s not impossible for the whole army to be overwhelmed in this valley.
"Let the heavy cavalry of Zamsu Russia"
The subordinates I saw were all the targets of the slaughter. King Hatalu of Dongting Khan hurriedly ordered the heavy melee cavalry behind the formation to be transferred up, "Go forward"
Five thousand heavily armored East Court cavalry lined up, covering their bodies with circular cavalry shields, draped in heavy armor, advancing like a thick iron wall,
The vests are rubbing against each other, densely crowded, building a wall of iron and steel one upon another, this is a tragic team,
They have no counter-attack weapons, the only thing they can provide to their companions is the shield in their hands, which is only used to support the corpse of the front companion,
They are the warriors of the Dongting Grassland, and their belief in sacrificing everything for the tribe has long been in their blood
"Go forward, for King Khan, for the tribe, for the grassland, forward"
The voices of the warriors of the East Court are extremely tragic, compared with the arrows that hit their heads, they are particularly harsh and harsh.
The cross-firing line formed by 14,000 Vekia crossbowmen and 50 ballistas made the short 100-meter distance to the exit of the mountain road completely a terrifying Shura killing field.
"Papa Papa" in the countless cold light, rows of heavy cavalry in the East Court were hit by arrows, their bodies were torn apart by powerful crossbow arrows like toys, and blood splashed on the faces of their companions behind them
"Go forward, go ahead if you don't want to die", the Khan King Hatalu yelled,
Although the killing machine made by Vekias like him is powerful, it is very troublesome to reload. As long as it can survive a round of shooting, it can rush out of the gap by taking advantage of the gap.
"Shooting" the ballista's cover hits again, and there is a shrill tearing sound from a cluster of arrows above the head." Papa" the heavy cavalry shields of the second row shattered under the crossbow arrows, and they were heavily covered. The cavalry in Armor A was hit by a heavy hammer head-on, and flew up strongly, colliding with the shield of the companion behind.
"Pop" everyone in the eastern courtyard of the mountain road below is tumbling, tumbling,
The heavy cavalry who received the order of King Khan to die can no longer control that much, and they rushed forward with the corpse of their companions and the flesh and blood, letting the crossbowmen above their heads pour out the arrows of death.
Slices of corpses fell down, but more Eastern cavalry filled them up, first black armored archers, then lightly armed assault cavalry, and finally even Khan King Hatalu filled in with the royal guards, narrow The mountain road has become a massacre for the cavalry of the East Court. The two falcon flag commanders on the top of the mountain who commanded the shooting were also secretly surprised
After several rounds of crossbow arrows shooting, it finally stopped
"The opportunity is finally here"
A sharp look flashed in the bloodshot eyes of King Halluta of Dongting Khan. As he advanced, an arrow was hit in his shoulder. Although there was a thick shoulder guard to block it, the arrow clusters were still deeply embedded. Shoulder collarbone, let him blood stain the tabard
"Assault with all strength, rush out"
Looking at the mountain pass already close at hand, King Khan Haluta dashed forward with King Khan’s guard, losing the support of the ballista, and the exhausted Falcon crossbowman could not stop the tens of thousands of cavalry at such a short distance. Assault,
The cavalry of the East Court finally burst out from the mountain pass like a flood that broke the dam. It was only a few miles away that the torrent slowly stopped, and a white fish appeared in the distant sky, and it was already dawn
This is a vast meadow, with green wheatgrass, crystal clear dew hanging on the stems and leaves of the flowers and plants, it looks calm and sweet, just like every day
"Thank Changshengtian, we rushed out"
Khan King Hatalu murmured in a low voice~IndoMTL.com~The hand holding the horse's rein slowly loosened, because he lost too much blood, his body shook, and his face turned pale from the war horse.
Puffing loudly, feeling that the strength of the whole body seems to be emptied at once, **** fingers grabbed deeply into the soil, knees heavily knelt on the ground,
"Father King" Prince Helglu ran not far away, and the East Court prince exclaimed with excitement, "We have rushed out, we have rushed out, we can go back to the grassland"
"Yes, back to the grassland"
Khan King Hatalu's heart is full of sadness,
Think of the prairie where soldiers are raised. At this moment, this resolute and worldless hero can hardly conceal the tears in his eyes. How vigorous and energetic was when the 100,000 army went south, which is like a dog with wounds all over it now,
First defeated with Amela, in the gorge on the mountain road, the 100,000 army still survives with less than 10,000 troops around, and the elite black armored archers have almost lost all. What is the face of such strength? Grassland
