Chapter 285: The Battle of Shanhaiguan (3)

Bai Yutang and Cook met the swanman guerrillas who had returned to the Condor to receive the news on the way, and when they learned that there was a fight in Shanhaiguan, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

After a brief discussion, the two immediately decided to march in a hurry, making sure to get there before Shanhaiguan was completely occupied by other forces.

Bai Yutang and the others knew that they had to race against time at this time, so they no longer spared horsepower, and directly raised the speed of the horse to the fastest.

When they were a kilometer away from Shanhaiguan, they had already seen the battle in the Chengmen Cave.

While glad that they were not late, the two did not dare to delay in the slightest, and directly led the cavalry to kill them.

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, for the sake of the Condor Empire, let's launch a final charge, kill."

"Kill."

Harrell didn't look back, but just by listening to the sound of horses' hooves, he already knew that reinforcements weren't far away.

Considering that the reinforcements were cavalry, they needed space to sprint, so he launched the last charge very decisively, trying to win this space and time for the reinforcements.

"Quick, archers on the wall, let the infantry give me the top and suppress the enemy into the city gate."

Ji Wushuang also heard the sound of horses' hooves, and after hearing the sound of horses' hooves, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this feeling, because he knew that he had to be calm at this time.

The city gate of Shanhaiguan is twenty meters wide, which can only accommodate a dozen horsemen to enter side by side.

Considering that Harrell and the others may not be able to support it for a long time, Bai Yutang did not dare to have any carelessness at this time, and in order to succeed in the first battle, he directly led his personal guards to rush to the front.

Although the 100,000 army was overwhelming, the only passage was only twenty meters, so although Bai Yutang and they arrived in time, it was still unknown whether they could take the city.

At this time, the gate cave guarded by Harrell and others became a key point in determining the outcome of the war.

After learning that the reinforcements had arrived, the already exhausted angel warriors once again burst out with terrifying combat power, and they seemed to be returning to the light, and they became energetic again.

In the face of the angel warriors who went crazy again, the enemy troops in the city were not to be outdone, they waved the weapons in their hands and slammed into the angel warriors, trying to suppress the angel warriors into the city gate cave with their numerical superiority.

Although they are all infantry, they also know the power of cavalry charging, so at this moment, they must block the enemy in the city gate, and then use the small space inside to limit the speed of the cavalry.

Both sides thought well, but they ignored one point, that is, a distance of one kilometer was only a matter of moments for cavalry.

After the angel warriors and the enemy collided again, Bai Yutang had already led the vanguard to rush to the city gate.

"Get out of the way of the people in front."

After successfully avoiding the rain of arrows shot from the city wall, Bai Yutang rushed into the city gate cave first.

After hearing the shouts from behind, the angelic warriors immediately ducked to the sides, at this time they could no longer care about killing the enemy, because if they did not dodge, they would probably be killed by their own cavalry.

Although they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, they do not want to die at the hands of their own people, and now that the cavalry has rushed in, their mission is over, so it is better to take this opportunity to hand over the baton.

For a long time, when it comes to charging into battle, people often think of heavy cavalry first, because heavy cavalry was born specifically for this purpose.

People will instinctively ignore the light cavalry, but they don't know that the light cavalry is not much worse than the heavy cavalry when they charge, because they rely on the war horses under their hips.

Armor the horses are just to protect them and allow them to ignore the enemy's long-range fire, but in fact, their impact power has nothing to do with whether they are armored or not.

As soon as the angel warriors hid to the sides, Bai Yutang and his guards were killed.

With a scream, those enemies who didn't have time to dodge were knocked away by the high-speed charging war horses.

Although the roads in Shanhaiguan are very spacious, they can only accommodate dozens of horsemen running side by side, so Bai Yutang and the others did not dare to have any delay, and regardless of whether the enemies around them were all killed, they went straight away, because they wanted to make room for the cavalry behind.

"Quick, order all the armies to go up the walls and let the soldiers fight against the buildings."

After seeing the enemy's cavalry rushing into the city in a steady stream, Ji Wushuang immediately made a new response.

The cavalry that sprinted was invincible, but don't forget that they were inside the city, and the enemy's cavalry could be unscrupulous in some wide streets, but in other places where the terrain was complicated, they could not be reached.

"Ahh

As soon as Ji Wushuang had withdrawn his army to the city wall, there was a scream from the city behind him.

"Great marshal, there are elven archers everywhere under the city walls, and our archers can't shoot them."

"Abandon this section of the wall, and everyone will retreat south with me."

The archery skills of the Terran archers are naturally inferior to the elven archers, and the archers under it are all part-time, so Ji Wushuang can only choose to abandon this section of the city wall and lead the army to retreat to the Nancheng District, where the terrain is complicated.

Seeing that the enemy retreated to Nancheng District, Bai Yutang did not choose to pursue the past, he first led people to capture the city gate in the southwest direction, and then led the cavalry to completely isolate the enemy in Nancheng District.

After the enemy gave up on the battle, Cook soon led a group of elven archers into the Shanhai Pass.

After finding Bai Yutang, Cook inquired about the specific battle situation, and then asked: "General Bai, now that the enemy has retreated to Nancheng District, which has complex terrain, it is obvious that he is preparing to defend and wait for reinforcements, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

"The enemy is all infantry, and they rushed to Shanhaiguan before us, which means that their territory is closer to here, so their reinforcements should arrive before us.

However, we have 100,000 men here, and although they are all cavalry, there is no problem in dismounting and defending the city.

Moreover, General Cook, your elven archers are the most suitable class to defend the city after dismounting, so I think we should trap the enemy, and then hold the city and wait for the lord to arrive. ”

After hearing Cook's inquiry, Bai Yutang analyzed the current situation in detail.

"General Bai has a point, although the enemy is now exhausted, but after this rapid march, the soldiers are also sleepy and tired, and it is difficult to get any benefits from the storming now.

But when it comes to defending the city, I don't think we should defend it inside the city.

Since the enemy is here with infantry, I guess there should be no cavalry in their territory, otherwise they will definitely use the cavalry to rush over to support.

The army of the two of us has a total of 100,000 people, and it is enough to trap the enemy with 50,000 or 60,000 people, so I want to lead 20,000 elven archers and 20,000 terran light cavalry to go out of the city to block the enemy, so that I can buy more time for the lord's army.

General Bai, what do you think about this? ”

As the elven general that Ning Yuan focused on cultivating and Ning Yuan's most trusted elven general, after so many years of experience, Cook has been completely able to take charge on his own.
