Chapter 745: The Bloody Battle of the Drinking Horse River (Part II)

"Commander, the situation is a little wrong, you see that the other party is not flustered, but seems to have been prepared."

Liu Dai's voice came into Yela's ears, and he couldn't help but look carefully, although he also had doubts in his heart, he still said with a fearless face, "It's okay, we have three thousand elite cavalry, and the other party has less than three thousand people, even if they are face-to-face, they can't be our opponents." Rush! ”

The contrast of forces and the quality of the soldiers gave Yela infinite courage and confidence. But not long after he finished saying this, a tremor suddenly sounded from the surrounding land, and then a large number of Mongolian cavalry on horseback appeared on their left and right.

From a distance, it seems that there is no end to it.

"It's not good, we've been tricked, and the enemy has already laid an ambush." Liu Dai reacted quickly, and when he looked at the number of Mongolian cavalry on the front and side was about 10,000, he exclaimed.

Yela's face finally changed, and he naturally saw that this was the other party's strategy, in order to outflank him. But at this moment, it was too late to retreat, gritting his teeth and being ruthless, Yela yelled: "Brothers, don't be afraid, fight to the death and don't retreat, it's a big deal that you will be a good man again after eighteen years." ”

"That's right! Don't be afraid, I have already sent someone to inform the sixth young master, I believe that the reinforcements will not be long after, that is the time for us to win, now everyone listen to the order, use the three-three system of warfare to deal with the enemy, do not seek to kill the enemy, first seek self-protection. The voice of Deputy Regiment Commander Liu then sounded, which also played a great role in stabilizing the morale of the army at this moment.

"Did you send someone to inform the Sixth Young Master?" Yela, who was on the side, asked with a suspicious face.

"Yes, please forgive the head of the regiment for doing this without asking for instructions." Liu Dai replied.

"It's okay, you're doing the right thing. It seems that the sixth young master is still powerful, and I regret that I shouldn't have disobeyed the military order. Yela said with a look of remorse.

At this time, it was useless to say anything, facing an enemy that was more than three times the number of the enemy, and the people had already prepared, the Jurchen cavalry regiment began to struggle for a long time. At this moment, the three-three system tactics played a key role, every three cavalry as a group, became a small group, as much as possible to leave their backs and sides to their comrades, so that they can rest assured to fight the enemy, kill the enemy, and create the enemy.

In the face of the sudden siege, the mercenaries were still able to do not panic, which was indeed somewhat unexpected by the Mobei Mongolian cavalry. But no matter what, even if the fight has begun, there is absolutely no reason to stop, relying on the preparation and the large number of people, they killed from all directions, and the two sides soon fought together, the roar of the war horses, the angry shouts of the cavalry, one after another, endlessly.

When the sun was setting, when the sky was already red, in front of the Drinking Horse River, there was a constant flow of bright red blood, and there were constantly cavalry being cut down from horses, wailing, and screaming.

Yela brandished her saber and slashed at one Mongol cavalryman after another. Less than an hour after the battle, he was covered in blood, but he couldn't tell whether it was his own or the enemy's. Now he only knows how to swing the knife mechanically, and he only knows that when he sees someone who is not in military uniform, he will swing the knife and cut it. Under such desperate resistance, the last trace of the sunset finally fell, and the sky began to darken.

As soon as it was dark, it was difficult for the cavalry on both sides to give full play to their combat power. When they couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, the speed of the knives on both sides became cautious, as if they were afraid that if they were not careful, they would hurt their comrades.

Taking this opportunity, Yela can finally breathe a sigh of relief. The continuous slashing just now seemed to exhaust all the strength in his body, and when he finally had a chance to rest, he felt that his right arm holding the knife became very heavy, and it seemed that he could not lift it up the next moment.

"Who." Although he was tired, his alertness was still there, and when he felt someone around him, he instinctively slashed over. But then it was blocked, and then the voice of the very familiar deputy head Liu Dai sounded, "The head of the regiment is me." ”

"Liu Dai, hehe, you are still alive, how are you?" As soon as he heard that it was Liu Dai's voice, Ye Laqiang smiled energetically, with a sense of relief on his face.

"I'm okay, I fought with the soldiers according to the three-three tactics, but there were not too many casualties." Liu Dai, who was talking, had already come to Yela's side. As he got closer, he could finally see that Yela had a thick layer of blood on his body, which made him involuntarily whisper, "Commander, are you injured?" ”

"No, it's all the blood of the enemy." Yela said proudly. But at the same time, he also knew that his limit had already been reached, and he might not be able to kill a few enemies in the future, and he would really be injured and killed.

Hearing Yela say that he was not injured, Liu Dai was relieved a lot, and then looked left and right, and he said again: "Commander, it's dark, and the enemy can't move, but they should be lighting torches soon, so I'm afraid our situation won't be too good." ”

"I know, in this way, immediately inform the soldiers, let them go with the Mongol army, they withdraw, we will also withdraw, none of our people should hold torches, as long as the torches they see are lit, it must be the enemy, and there will be no mercy!" Yela nodded, and then gave the order to the enemy.

The two sides are now fighting together, and it is true that you have me, I have you, and there is no distinction between each other. And at this time, if anyone dares to light the torch, the first thing to illuminate is themselves, and they will inevitably become a target and a target of public criticism.

"Yes, Captain." After Liu Dai agreed, he said to the few personal soldiers who followed him: "You go and convey the order of the regiment commander immediately, and if you can't see where your brother is, you will shout so that everyone can hear it." ”

In the darkness, it prevented the Mongol army from taking advantage of the situation to kill, and also imprisoned the transmission of some military orders of the Jurchen cavalry regiment. But fortunately, the voice could still be heard clearly in the dark, and after a lot of shouting, soon the soldiers knew what was about to happen and how to face it.

Such shouts also reached the ears of the Mongol army. In fact, they already have people with torches and are ready to light them. After all, with torches, you can distinguish each other, and you will know where to kill and who to kill.

But such shouts made some people who wanted to light torches hesitate. They are really afraid of being targeted. But in the end, there were some people who did not believe in evil, and they finally lit the torches they carried on their horses.

Together, this light is naturally particularly eye-catching in the dark night. When everyone's eyes looked at the light, there were also bows and arrows that pierced through the air, and even when the fire first appeared, there was the sound of sabers whistling and falling.

Whether it is a long-range attack with a bow and arrow, or a melee attack with a sword, there is only one final result, that is, all the Mongolian cavalry who lit the torches became the target of the crowd and became the first target and object of attack. Not only that, but the moment the torches were lit, even some of the cavalry who were illuminated around them suffered unjustified disasters and were killed on their horses.

Most of them were Mongol cavalry, but a few Jurchen cavalry were also killed.

"Bastard, I don't want torches, no one wants to light them next to me, otherwise Lao Tzu's saber is not a vegetarian." Seeing that not only the people who lit the torches, but also the people on the side, they were also affected, and the sound of shouting and shouting began, and these voices were all shouted by the Mongol cavalry.

After all, everyone is afraid of death, especially when the opportunity to win is exhausted, and no one wants to die.

The strategy of trying to kill the enemy with the help of torches in the dark failed, and this is also because everyone is too close, so close that there may be an enemy three meters in front of them. But no one wants to risk their lives, and no one wants to gamble with their lives.

This makes a strange phenomenon appear, obviously the enemy, and the distance is very close, but on this night it is really peaceful. Everyone seems to have reached a tacit understanding, and they are all waiting for the dawn to come. are accumulating strength, and at that time, it is time to see the dagger poor.

On the periphery of the battle circle, Su De's face was loveless, and his face was full of anger.

I thought that I had more than 10,000 cavalry, or the most elite force around me, and I was dealing with 3,000 enemy cavalry who were surrounded by me and unprepared. Even if one impact goes down, it will break the opponent's will to fight, and that is the time to reap the fruits of victory.

But the fight was more than an hour, not only did it not scare the other party, but it was still dark. Now he can't even beat the torch, so he can only wait for the dawn, which makes him feel depressed in his heart.

The faces of Chamubala and Baoyin on the side were also good, and they couldn't see anywhere. It's just that they don't have a better way, and now it seems that there is only waiting but waiting. Of course, it's not completely impossible, for example, they can issue bows and arrows to the battlefield, so how can they kill some mercenary cavalry by mistake.

It's just that in the middle of the battlefield, it seems that there are more cavalry of their own people, and if they do, it will only lead to a greater mutiny. I thought about withdrawing all the troops, and I was worried that the mercenaries would turn around and flee by taking this opportunity, so if I wanted to chase them, I don't know if there was any hope.

This is not good, that is not possible, I have no choice but to wait. And this night seems to be very long, and the waiting time seems to be very tiring.

An hour passed, another hour passed, and after dark came the dawn, this is the law of iron, and gradually, when the sky in the distance was covered with a touch of fish belly white, the sky slowly brightened.

With the arrival of dawn, the battlefield, which was originally very quiet, suddenly shouted to kill the heavens, and became lively again.
