Chapter 225: Ambush
Killer felt like he was having a nightmare, and he wished he could wake up from it as soon as possible. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Di Chen told him that he had the opportunity to plot against him, he was so ecstatic. The Killing Army can't forget how Wuyi humiliated him in public during the Battle of Zhuolu, saying that he was just a dog under Emperor Chen. Such humiliation is even worse than killing him.
What is more miserable than being insulted, is being scolded speechlessly, being scolded to the point, and you are speechless. What the Killer Army encountered was such a humiliation.
Hatred can make a person lose his mind, and the Killer Army has undoubtedly been coerced by hatred.
The Killer Army didn't even think about why Di Chen didn't do it himself, but wanted to find him; He didn't even discuss it with his family, and directly took the two thousand elites of the territory and simply teleported to Eternal Night Town.
He is going on a journey of revenge and burns his vengeful spirit!
At the beginning, the battle went so smoothly that they lurked all the way, day and night, and were not detected when they walked to the enemy camp. Even if there were some minor surprises, the situation was still favorable.
The coalition forces smoothly rushed into the enemy camp and slaughtered indiscriminately. Seeing the soldiers of Shanhai County, falling in a pool of blood one after another, at that time, how happy and comfortable it was to kill the army.
The Killing Army has even begun to fantasize that when the garrison in the camp is wiped out, maybe he can lead the coalition army to continue to attack the base camp in Shanhai County, so that he will be unclothed and prostrate under his feet. Yes, it should be like this, let Wu Yi beg for mercy from himself, let him know who is the cheap dog.
But when did the tide of battle begin to turn?
The speed of the enemy's build-up is beyond the imagination of the coalition forces. The enemy's individual strength is also much stronger than the coalition command had previously estimated. Those hateful barbarians, who did not wear armor, could still fight with the elite soldiers of the coalition army.
The victory was so short that the killing could not be sustained. By the time the enemy's hoplites converged, the Breaker Army knew that the stage of taking advantage had passed. Next, it will be an uphill battle.
Even at this time, the Breaker still thought that they had a chance to win, because after the attack on the camp, the strength of the coalition army was already twice that of the enemy, and as long as it was properly commanded, there was no reason for it to fail.
The Killing Army commanded the coalition forces, set up a battle outside the battalion, and took the initiative to attack the enemy. For this reason, the Killing Army did not hesitate to put the elite cavalry they brought with them at the front of the team and act as sharp knives.
It's a pity that the toughness of the enemy's hoplite regiment gave the killer army a resounding slap in the face. The ironclad legion built by Shanhai County at no expense is something that the light cavalry can shake.
Next, the surprise attack of the enemy's cavalry battalion dealt another heavy blow to the killing army.
The Killer Army was not discouraged, and he still firmly believed that victory would eventually belong to him. Calm and morale-boosting, he commanded some of the sword and shield soldiers to return to the defense, and at the same time ordered the remaining sword and shield troops to continue to advance, trying to forcibly eat the enemy's hoplite regiment.
Seeing that victory was in sight, how could it be said that the devil of Wuyi actually broke in at a critical moment with a terrifying heavy cavalry. With only 500 heavily armed cavalry, the enemy was able to pin down the main force of the coalition army three or four times larger, and there was no time to divide the sword and shield troops.
Next, there is the nightmare of killing the army.
First, the archer units of the coalition army were completely routed, scattered and fled, and finally surrendered shamefully. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry units that the army was proud of were also eaten by the enemy's steel monsters, and only one or two hundred lucky people broke through the defense line and escaped.
In the end, there is the total collapse of the coalition forces.
Faced with the enemy's heavy cavalry and hoplite attacks on both sides, the sword and shield troops that had been struggling to support finally completely collapsed and surrendered neatly. The warriors knew very well that their infantry could not escape the pursuit of the enemy's cavalry, and the fleeing archery troops were the best proof of this.
The lords were already desperate, and immediately after the cavalry was wiped out, they fled with their guards. All their courage and faith were completely destroyed in this battle, and they were gone.
They gambled everything, but in the end, they were wiped out.
The lords had become frightened, and they even forgot to tell the Eastern Route Coalition Army, which was still marching, about the battle situation on their side on the Alliance channel, which directly led to the latter being successfully ambushed by the Third Brigade.
The Killer Army was about to despise these bastards who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but when they turned their heads, they realized that they were also part of the fleeing army, and the escaped cavalry found their lords and fled towards Eternal Night Town together.
Ouyang Shuo was undoubtedly angry, he had raised Gu for more than half a year, but he didn't expect to be bitten by a Gu worm in the end. He hadn't thought about letting these lords return to the realm alive.
When Ouyang Shuo saw the Killing Army appear in the coalition army, he knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and the Yanhuang Alliance, either you die or I live.
Ouyang Shuo asked Shi Wansui to stay, responsible for collecting prisoners, treating the wounded, and repairing the camp. He himself, with the Guards Battalion and the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Brigade, continued to pursue the enemy.
************
In the eastern suburbs of Lushui County, about 15 kilometers from the border, there is a hill on which there are not even a single shrub except for weeds. This is the ambush location chosen by the evil come, and all the officers and men of the 3rd Brigade plus the 2nd Battalion of the 2nd Brigade who rushed to reinforce are all ambushed behind the hillside, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
The lord of Broken Blade Town, with two thousand allied troops, did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Every now and then, you can come across one or two camps. In the face of the mighty army, the rogues sensibly chose to be shrunken turtles, and all of them nested in the rogue camp, not daring to show their faces.
Because the road was unimpeded, Badao began to relax his vigilance, and he did not even arrange for the forward troops to explore the way.
"Brother Dao, don't you think it's strange? We've been walking for so long, why haven't any patrol soldiers in Shanhai County seen it, will there be fraud? "The lord of Gushan Town will feel a little uneasy when he comes to the stage.
Ba Dao shook his head, "You have been thinking too much, have you noticed that there is still a rogue camp in this area." What does it mean? It shows that Shanhai County has not had time to clean up this area, so naturally there are no patrol soldiers, otherwise they will be targeted by the rogues, so isn't it just to deliver food to them? "Badao's explanation can be justified.
When I think about it on stage, I will no longer think about it.
Behind the hillside, the third battalion of the third brigade was Liao Kai who came to the evil: "Brigade commander, they are here!" ”
Evil came to ride the domineering year beast Rakshasa and said in a deep voice: "Prepare for action!" ”
"Whoa!"
When the Eastern Coalition Army marched to the middle of the hillside, two cavalry battalions with a total of 1,000 cavalry, like a group of grassland ghosts, suddenly appeared on the top of the hill and swooped down the hillside without the slightest hesitation.
The cavalry was followed by the archer battalion of the 3rd Brigade, which set up a makeshift position on the hill and rained down the Allied forces to suppress the Allied archers and provide fire suppression for the cavalry charge.
A rain of arrows cut through graceful arcs from a high place, landing precisely into the area of the coalition archers. By the time the arrow reached the top of the soldier's head, it had already fallen vertically, as if it had fallen from the sky, piercing the air and sending out a roar that sank into the head or shoulders of the enemy. Those who are shot in the head are naturally killed instantly. The lucky person who was shot in the shoulder let out a painful scream, and his whole arm could not be lifted at all, and if he was not treated in time, he was likely to be disabled for life.
The sudden attack caught the coalition forces off guard, and they did not expect to be attacked at this time and place.
Ba Dao was shocked, and shouted loudly in a panic: "Array, array." The Chinese army's sword and shield troops turned around in a panic, preparing to turn to the flanks and form a defensive line for the troops.
Everything was too late, and before the sword and shield troops of the coalition army could change formation, and the shields of the soldiers had not yet been erected, the cavalry had already taken advantage of the acceleration inertia of the downhill slope to rush down towards a hurricane.
The cavalry units that charged at high speed stretched out a long line and covered the sky, immediately overwhelming the formation of the coalition forces. The soldiers in front were forced to retreat, and the soldiers in the back were still carrying out the commander's orders to line up, rushing forward one by one. The two forces clashed with each other, pushing and shoving, making the formation more and more chaotic.
At this moment, the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Battalions of the 3rd Brigade made a bend from behind the hillside, appeared in the rear of the coalition forces, and kicked the coalition troops in the ass.
The mountain warriors and spearmen attack the enemy. The chaotic coalition forces are simply unable to coordinate and the chain of command is completely ineffective, and the soldiers fight on their own, caught in the encirclement of the enemy, and finally become alone. On the other hand, the 3rd Brigade had a uniform battle formation, a well-founded advance and retreat of the soldiers, and a decisive killing. Coupled with the interspersed cooperation of the cavalry, they quickly grasped the initiative on the battlefield and suppressed the enemy army to the death.
The cavalry of the coalition army, which was originally at the front of the ranks, was useless at this time. Rush forward, there's no one ahead; Rush back, and be blocked by the sword and shield soldiers. Suddenly, the cavalry commander had an idea and commanded his troops to rush up the hill, preparing to kill the battalion of archers on the mountain.
It's easy to go down, hard to get up. The battalion of archers at the top of the hill was undaunted, aiming at the cavalry in a volley after volley. The archer battalion was commanding Ruoding, ordering the soldiers to shoot horses. The horse that had been shot fell to the ground in agony, lying across the cavalry marching path, affecting the march of the cavalry behind.
In a short uphill stretch, the archers rained three waves of arrows, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses. Of the five hundred cavalry, less than two hundred remained. The cavalry finally rushed up the hill, and was about to reap the fruits of victory, when suddenly a fierce general rode a hideous beast covered with dark green scales and appeared in front of the archer battalion.
