Conquer the World

Chapter 180—The First Death

When Zhao Sen drove back to the mouth of the canyon, the 1,200 soldiers at the Zhanchong Battalion and the 200 cavalry that Li Xiaozong handed over to him left about 70%. The infantry suffered heavy losses. There were almost no casualties without direct confrontation with the enemy.Therefore, when Zhao Sen immediately set up a defense line at the mouth of the canyon without letting the soldiers rest, some idle cavalry suffered contempt that disturbed their conscience.

"Look!"

An infantry ridiculed while arranging his arrow pot: "The equipment on his body added up quickly enough to buy a Qingren, but when we were fighting, people were hanging around ... the same life, everyone's So expensive. "

Another soldier covered his mouth and motioned to Zhao Sen, who was not looking well, looking over here.

"Afraid of anything!"

The soldiers who ridiculed the cavalry shrugged their shoulders indifferently: "It is a miracle that Lao Tzu can survive after this battle. Now I don't say everything I should say. Won't you panic when you get your tongue out of hell?

He looked at the knife wound on his right arm, frowned, and tore off a loosely wrapped package: "When out of the Qingxia, they were riding at the forefront, and they were still running when retreating to the Qingxia. At the forefront, unscathed. Naturally, the reincarnation in the next life will naturally be in Da Sui, but Lao Tzu would rather be a horse! "

Cavalry Lieutenant Zhao Qi's face was extremely ugly, and the infantry's sarcasm spoked like a knife in his heart.Like all the cavalry of the Great Sui, he was full of pride when he was divided into his own horse.Because of the lack of war horses, it is not just a soldier who can become a cavalry.They have very good physiques, burly and strong bodies, they eat and wear better than infantry, and even the rates are double that of infantry.

They did indeed pay more sweat than infantry. They were also training when the infantry was training, and they were still training when the infantry was resting.Regardless of the wind, rain, and heat, these cavalrymen are working hard for the dream of overriding Mengyuan Qingqi, but ... when he arrived on the battlefield, he found that these proud cavalrymen had become the most useless People.

He did not resent the sarcasm of the infantry, even the enemies were not resentful.

The hand holding Ma Chan shivered slightly, and a fire was burning in Zhao Qi's eyes.

"Captain!"

A cavalry could not stand the white eyes and irony of the infantry. He looked at Zhao Qi's eyes and asked aloud: "Are we watching the battle of the robe so blindly? Can't we just stand by and watch our drills in the wind and rain?"

"To shut up!"

Zhao Qi bit his lip and said, "We are cavalry, but first of all we are soldiers. Soldiers ... we must obey the military orders. If the order of the general is not issued, you will all be honest with Laozi!"

"but……"

"Nothing!"

Zhao Qi's eyes looked at the herdsmen who rushed toward the side after gradually spreading away in the distance. He knew that the brethren of Zhechong Camp, who was Pang Mei, were dead.Just now, his 200 cavalrymen were ready to charge Pan Mei to be rescued, but they were stopped by Zhao Sen.

They really watched the gowns die as they watched, just as useless as waste.

That was more than 1,200 live lives, besieged by tens of thousands of disheveled herders and died.During those bloody battles, how much do you expect your companions to come to the rescue?But until they all died in battle, they did not see Da Sui's fiery red battle flag appearing behind the enemy.

Blood was dripping from Zhao Qi's heart, and he wanted to roar loudly to vent his dissatisfaction.

He couldn't help but withdraw his sight from the enemy and turned to General Zhao Sen.It was at this time that he was sent to ask whether Zhao Sen ’s cavalry came back, with his head down and his face disappointed.

"School captain ... General let us stand by."

The cavalry spoke very quietly, and seemed afraid of hurting his heart too much.

"On call ..."

Zhao Qi murmured again and again, showing the green muscles in Ma Chan's hand.

Not far from him, the tooth commander Zhao Sen ordered the soldiers to defend at the mouth of the canyon. Before the enemy had rushed, the soldiers hurriedly dug a lot of trapped horse pits tens of meters away from the mouth of the valley.These pits are shallow and small, but the fast-running horse loses its center of gravity once it steps on it.

"fortunately!"

Zhao Qi wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to himself: "Fortunately, the herdsmen don't understand the importance of the matter. The murders and red eyes made them lose their minds. They all rushed around Pan Mei's Zhechong camp and did not immediately occupy the horses. Canyon, I ’m afraid it ’s something that wolves did n’t expect. These untrained herders do n’t understand what tactics are, otherwise I ’m just afraid that I ’m already a sinner. ”

"General!"

The watchman standing at the top shouted loudly below: "General Li's situation is not very good! The enemy rides around the formation and did not attack directly. Our formation is getting smaller and smaller!"

"What a bad tactic!"

Zhao Sen's eyes were sullen, and after a moment of silence, he shouted loudly: "The Herald Soldier, find the cavalry captain Zhao Qi to see me!"

"Hello!"

The messenger agreed loudly, turned and ran out.

...

...

Li Xiaozong's forehead was already covered with sweat, and his eyes looked at the galloping Mongolian cavalry who galloped, his mouth twitching ceaselessly, and his expression looked extremely painful.Before entering the army, he thought he had thought of all the tactics of Mongolian light cavalry charge, and also figured out how to deal with it, but the only thing he ignored was that the enemy cavalry walked out of the field by speed advantage, and by the bow and arrow soft The knife is a little bit thin and small.

The enemy roared past forty steps, but could not kill the enemy.The boxwood bow in the enemy's hand is faster than Da Sui's standard step bow. The biggest headache is that the enemy's speed is faster. The arrows shot by the archer of Da Sui often fall behind the enemy.Even if he ordered the archers not to aim at people when shooting, but to aim in front of them, the proportion of deaths and injuries between the two sides was still quite different.

The only thing that shocked the enemy was the thirty heavy crossbows.The heavy crossbow is too clumsy, if the frontal enemy is infinitely powerful.But the enemy's roaming tactics make the power of the heavy crossbow very little.

The Giant Shield Hand had fewer than 150 people and could not protect the entire battle front.But even if the giant shield hand can protect it, what can be done if it is shrunk in it without any counterattack?

After struggling for a long time, Li Xiaozong, who bit his lip, finally issued a military order.

"attack!"

He raised his horizontal knife and shouted, "I would rather charge to death, not do nothing like this!"

"forward!"

Less than 1,500 big Sui infantry burst into a roar, and immediately changed their formation.The giant shield was divided into two sides, the archer was at the end, and the long arm rushed to the front.At the forefront are Li Xiaozong and his dozen soldiers.This is also the only cavalry in the Sui army.

However, during the charge, Li Xiaozong and his own soldiers both jumped off the precious war horses and ran forward with the infantrymen, and did not give up on their mounts.

"forward!"

"I would rather charge and die!"

The soldiers shouted unwillingly, everyone's face was determined.

Mandu wolf looked at the Sui people on the opposite side and changed his formation, could not help but make a smug laugh: "Sui people like this, they dare to claim that they are undefeated in battle? If you want, you can continue to kill them with the tactics of cavalry walking. But I wo n’t be like this ... Since they chose to attack, let them see how the strongest army in the world kills Yes, how did the strongest army attack! "

"Blow the horns, fight!"

He drew his machete and pointed forward, and the thick horn sound whined.All the cavalrymen returned to the battlefield, and then followed the Mandu wolves to meet the Sui people and killed them.

The Sui people are proud, as are the Mengyuan people.When the enemy chooses to charge, the pride of Mandu Wolf does not allow him to avoid without fighting.He just wanted to defeat Li Xiaozong head-on, the guy who had been a rival with him for three years across a mountain.

The savage and savage Manchu Banner herders filled Pan Mei's Zhanchong camp with a sea of ​​tactics.The 1,200 well-trained soldiers of the Great Sui Youxiaowei were suffocated in battle.Although none of them surrendered, the fact that the enemy was not Meng Yuan ’s regular army made each of them a little angry.

And the herdsmen who had killed their red eyes, did not stop the footsteps of the war horse because of the huge loss.When they found that the surrounding Sui people had been killed, they immediately turned their horse head towards the canyon.Although ... when the Manchu Wolf told them before, they forced them to take the canyon as the first important thing, but after the killing began, they could not control their humanity.

More than 6,000 herdsmen mixed with men and women screamed toward the mouth of the canyon. Due to the rules of the rulers of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, only one bow was allowed per herdsman, so the pressure on the defending big Sui infantry was slightly less some.Otherwise, the six thousand herdsmen would continue to wash the formation with arrows of rain during the charge, and they would not be able to bear it for long.

The crazy herder shouted and urged the horse to move forward. Many people in the front fell over because they stepped on the pit.But the companions who came from behind did not give them a chance to dodge, and soon, the nomadic herdsmen were trampled into mud.The horseshoe stepped on the mud mixed with flesh and blood, making a rattling sound.

An eye that didn't know who it was covered with dust, but stubbornly looked forward.

"Arrow!"

Zhao Sen issued a command loudly, and the few Sui Army infantry poured out the feather arrows.Herdsmen with no combat experience do not know how to avoid the dodge, and the people hit by the feather arrows fall like dumplings.

The Stag ’s antlers placed at the mouth of the canyon refused to play a role before. The herdsmen did not know how to dismantle these things in the shortest time. They jumped from the horse ’s back and clumsily wanted to move the blocking things. How could the archers give them time?

Soon, the antlers were covered with corpses.

The ground at the west entrance of the canyon seemed to be moving, and a high hill formed by flesh and blood was getting higher and higher.

When the Sui army soldiers had already shot the arrow pot, they threw Changji as a shotgun.When Changcha was gone, they pulled out their horizontal knives to prepare for close combat.Those nomads who had suffered heavy losses were no longer able to ride over the tall piles of corpses. They climbed down on horseback and rushed over with various weapons.Like bows and arrows, scimitars are not everyone's qualifications.

In any country in any era of this world, the monarch will not allow people to hold weapons in his hands that can resist his rule.Moreover, Mongolian Yuan is a country lacking iron.Therefore, many nomads are waving a sharpened wooden stick.

After the nomadic herdsman, how can the face of the elite Sui Jun have an advantage?Of course, when the number reaches ten times that of the enemy, the herdsmen can also see the dawn of victory.

At the beginning of the melee, Sui Jun only had fewer than 400 people left.They barely formed a three-layer defense line at the mouth of the gorge, which looked a little pitiful.

The herdsmen fell one by one, and the soldiers of the Sui army also decreased one by one.

Just when the last sixty or seventy soldiers of the Sui army supported hard, the herdsmen suddenly became chaotic.The herders who were on the verge of collapse finally could not bear the fear of death and began to cry and escape.If they find that only a cavalry of less than 100 people is attacking behind them, they may regret the choice to escape.

Li Xiaozong is back, with three arrows in his body and armor covered in blood.

The cavalry came back and lost half of the horse.But they declared with their horses that although they had a small number, they were more terrible than Meng Yuan ’s cavalry!

The infantry did not return and all died in battle.Their bodies were left on the grassland, and it was not known whether the souls could fly home through the canyon.

This is the first battle of the first day. There are fewer than 200 people left by the Sui people who left the Qingxia.Although they killed more than 8,000 herdsmen and more than 1,600 Mongolian cavalry, is this the first victory?

Perhaps it was just the first death.
