Chapter 149: Rush
The first to attack was the more than 2,000 infantry at the front, and the infantry was divided into two echelons, with more than 1,000 female soldiers in front and Yuan Fang and their recruits in the back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Receiving the order to attack, the female soldiers who were ready to attack the enemy's frontal camp launched an assault, there was no shouting of killing, only heavy footsteps trampled the earth, trampled on the enemy's will, and poured out of the canyon like a silent torrent to the enemy camp.
When the Ningyuan invading army discovered and issued an enemy attack alarm, the female soldiers of the first echelon had rushed to the front of the barracks with sparse feather arrows and set up huge shields, and fired back with archers' crossbows and javelins, at the same time, the second echelon of infantry, that is, Yuan Fang, and their recruits followed up and advanced diagonally to the south from the flanks and rear, their task was to clearly remove all obstacles in front of the camp, especially those nasty horse rejections, tear apart the enemy's defense line, and let the follow-up cavalry troops rush to kill as much as they want.
I don't know if the enemy is sleeping too soundly or reacting too slowly, when Yuan Fang's second echelon rushed to the defense line of the southern camp, the other party had not yet assembled a team to launch a counterattack, which made the female lieutenant who commanded the second echelon very happy, while commanding a small number of archers to suppress at a distance, while letting people move away from the horse as soon as possible.
Soon, a large number of rejecting horses were removed, at this time, the enemy army had been assembled and pressed over, the female lieutenant did not fall in love with the battle, and ordered to form a formation, and the recruits of the second echelon covered dozens of meters to the north and set up a defensive circle formation, making enough passage for the cavalry behind them.
The infantry succeeded, the first team of female horsemen rushed out of the canyon, all the obstacles on the road had been cleared, they had enough distance to accelerate, and then, after pulling away enough distance, the second team of cavalry led by Lei Hua set off, and spread out a cone formation in the open field, followed closely behind, and then, the main force of the cavalry led by Xia Liang attacked, following behind Lei Hua, as the third echelon, and the strongest echelon, it was the success or failure of this breakthrough.
In the end, it was the 300 elite horsemen led by Ma Lan, who rode their horses slowly, wandered around the perimeter of the enemy army that was gathering and counterattacking, and used archers' crossbows to harass and contain them, giving the infantry more time to evacuate.
At this time, the originally crowded canyon became empty, and only discarded debris and abandoned horse-drawn carriages were left on the ground, and no one remained.
As the cavalry led by Xia Liang skimmed by, the infantry of the first echelon quickly followed, followed the cavalry and rushed to the enemy camp in the south, and then, the second echelon of infantry gave up the defense and turned to follow, and Ma Lan followed with three hundred cavalry.
The camp of the invading army in Ningyuan was extremely long, and the two legs naturally could not run on four legs, and the infantry could barely keep up at the beginning, but as the cavalry rushed farther and farther, the infantry lost its impact power, and there were small groups of enemy troops constantly surrounding them on both sides, their intentions were obvious and correct, as long as the infantry was trapped, it was easy to eat them with their advantage in strength several times.
In the team, Yuan Fang pulled Yang Xing to run desperately, maybe he was nervous, maybe he didn't rest well, anyway, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe after running a short distance, not only the two of them, but everyone else was almost the same.
Qiao shouted loudly: "Hurry up, hurry up, keep up, don't fall behind, hold on, hold on." Yuan Fang didn't care about whether he was defensive or not, so he simply lost the shield in his hand and ran wildly.
Suddenly, a scream sounded, this voice was familiar to everyone, it was the sound of the feather arrow breaking through the air, Yuan Fang was shocked, the shield was gone, he could only resign himself to fate, subconsciously, Yuan Fang slowed down, blocked Yang Xing's side, and protected Yang Xing with his body.
A series of muffled snorts sounded, followed by continuous screams, and then, the screams disappeared, Yuan Fang knew very well that those people were finished, they either died under the enemy's arrows, or were trampled to death by the people behind, even if they were lucky enough not to die and fell into the hands of the enemy, the end may be even more miserable.
Another round of arrows fell, and people kept falling to the ground, and at this time, except for close friends, no one cared about others, only desperately rushed forward.
During the run, Yang Xing tripped over the fallen corpse in front of him, if it wasn't for Yuan Fang's quick hand and quick pull, once he fell, it would be almost impossible to get up again.
After such a delay, Qiao Dazhuang and the others had already run away, and Yuan Fang and Yang Xing were left behind, mixed in other teams and continued to run wildly.
Fortunately, Yuan Fang is also a celebrity, a guy carrying the battle flag of the squad grinned, panting and said, "Run, Doctor Yuan." Yuan Fang responded with a kind smile.
With a whoosh, a feathered arrow fell, passing through the man's neck, the arrow was stained with blood, the man's body stiffened, and he fell headlong, and someone next to him took the battle flag, glanced at the man's corpse, and a trace of sadness crossed his eyes, and continued to move forward.
Constantly people were hit by arrows, and comrades kept dying, Yang Xing said intermittently: "Boss, haven't we become a living target like this." ”
Yuan Fang scolded and said, "Don't speak, run, and watch your step." ”
Jumping over the corpse of a war horse and the female soldier who was pressed below, Yuan Fang did not look back, this is no longer known to be the first few they encountered, and the further they go, the more corpses of the cavalry, obviously, the resistance in front is getting greater and greater, Yuan Fang secretly prayed that the cavalry in front must rush out, otherwise they will all die here.
At this time, the cavalry at the front had already rushed to the middle of the enemy camp, and the enemy troops who had already reflected it began to counterattack, and the infantry phalanx blocked the front, and the cavalry had no choice but to charge, charge, charge.
The female cavalry of the first echelon has been lost, and Lei Hua of the second echelon acts as an arrow, Lei Hua is brave and invincible with an iron spear, and the enemy in front of him has no enemy, screaming, roaring, tearing apart the enemy formations with a chilling killing intent, stepping over a corpse, blood staining the iron spear, dying the sword red, dying the horse's hooves, and dying the earth.
Rushed through a row of giant shields to kill the enemy group, the speed of the horse gradually slowed down, Lei Hua roared unwillingly, and slashed two approaching enemies with a knife in his hand, and there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind him, rumbling and shaking the earth, Lei Hua knew that the cavalry behind came up, and cut down two unlucky ghosts who were not afraid of death again, and roared: "Scatter." ”
At this time, the quality of the cavalry was seen, and Lei Hua gave an order, and the cavalry that had originally followed him scattered left and right to kill the enemy group, making way for the middle passage, leaving the enemy in front to the follow-up troops who still maintained enough impact.
The rumbling sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, Xia Liang is majestic and murderous, and he rushes through the blood-stained passage first, and the cavalry spear in his hand pierces the enemy in front, and then, he draws out his waist knife and slashes left and right, like cutting wheat, and no one is spared everywhere he passes, which may be an exaggeration, but even if there are many fish that have slipped through the net, they have been killed one by one by the guards who followed closely behind.
Cavalry is a nightmare for infantry, especially cavalry with extreme speed, that unstoppable sense of oppression and impact constantly destroys the will of the enemy, once the gap is broken, the cavalry cluster is irresistible.
The main cavalry passed, and Lei Hua rode his horse and stood up, holding his sword in his hand and shouting: "The whole team." The scattered cavalry urged their horses to come, ignoring the routs who had been frightened and lost their fighting spirit, and regrouped, and soon formed a shock formation again, and waited for the battle.
