Chapter 390 Fierce Battle Canyon
Under the quiet moonlit night, a charge horn sounded again in the empty and charming canyon, the sound was long and deep...
The earth began to tremble, and waves of smoke and dust swelled up above the canyon. As the smoke and dust rose, a large army of slaves of about 100,000 people rushed towards the Guards like a tiger...
Luode deployed half of the military force, and they launched a general attack on the enemy.
Faced with the army of slaves that rushed like a tide, the Guards responded quickly. As the camp gate slowly opened, a heavy cavalry of about 5,000 people came out in sequence, and the thick and powerful horse hooves stirred the gravel all over the place.
The ground, the solid and neat armor shines brightly under the moonlight.
They were like an indestructible iron wall, pounced on the oncoming army of slaves.
Behind the heavy cavalry is a light cavalry unit of about 20,000 people. After the former storm the enemy's formation, the latter will exert its mobility and other characteristics to severely damage the enemy and clean up the mess.
The screams of slaves and the sensation of horse hooves were intertwined, and they rushed towards each other like a sea of rushing seas. From a distance, the two sides were like two long dragons moving forward quickly, nowhere to be seen.
On the hill not far away, Luo De stared at the two troops that were about to come into contact with him. His eyes were fixed on the front of the heavy cavalry about 50 meters, the four were about 5 meters deep and about 8 meters wide.
To a trench of 10 meters.
Those four trenches were about to become the key to his turnaround, but at this moment, he seemed to have insufficient confidence.
Facing the heavy cavalry moving quickly like a gust of wind, he was unclear whether the four trenches could stop them from charging and dismantle their fighting will.
The victory or defeat is here.
Just as the two sides were about to contact, the front of the heavy cavalry entered the area where the four trenches were located. With a neighing sound, war horses in heavy armor carried soldiers with heavy armor on their backs.
Falling into the trench.
As the formation moved forward, more and more heavy cavalry fell into the trench like mercury. The trench about 5 meters deep and about 8 to 10 meters wide became an insurmountable trench for the cavalry.
The charge of slaves stopped their progress like nails. They either put their hands on their hips or stopped to watch, quietly witnessing the heavy cavalry falling from the trench not far away.
Once the charge of heavy cavalry is activated, it will not be stopped. The sudden appearance of the trenches caught them off guard. As the front cavalry kept falling, they fell to the trenches like layers of waves after layer of waves...
Soon, the trench located in the front, which was 5 meters deep and about 10 meters wide, was filled. The cavalry behind rushed forward on the body of the former, and in a moment, the second trench was filled.
It was full, and then the third trench was filled until the fourth trench was filled one after another.
The charging cavalry finally stopped. They stopped in front of the four trenches, looking at the army of slaves standing 50 meters ahead, and never took a step forward.
The 4 trenches caused them to suffer heavy losses, and they were not sure whether there were still several trenches waiting for them in just 50 meters.
There was a confrontation between the two sides, and no one took another step forward.
Suddenly, about 2,000 large birds appeared above the canyon. It was an air force sent by Luode. They were entrenched above their own army, but did not attack the cavalry troops below.
About a minute later, 400 big birds flew out of this air force. They flew above the four trenches and poured down with baskets of grease. In the four trenches, people were on the horse.
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
The heavy cavalry turned over was wet with bright yellow grease.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." Dozens of fire-burning arrows flew towards the trench, "Bosh bang!" A ball of flames suddenly rose, and in a flash, four surging fire walls rose.
The fire wall is about tens of meters high, just like a matrix composed of 4 fires that divide the canyon into two.
As early as when Lode ordered the slaves to dig the four trenches, he ordered them to pour waist-deep grease into the trenches. The grease not only made the already steep trenches more slippery, but also provided abundant energy for the current fire.
fuel.
Four surging firewalls prevented the cavalry of the Guards from charging forward. They became a group of trapped beasts, unable to move, but it was impossible to retreat. In response to the resistance army's disadvantage of cavalry, their cavalry
The troops only need one charge to send the slaves to the West.
Confidence comes from asymmetrical weapon levels, excellent equipment and excellent tactics. Even though the fire prevented their temporary crushing charge, the fire also went out for a moment.
Suddenly, the cavalry felt something strange. Under the horse's hooves, there were gravel rolling down from the mountains on both sides of the canyon. They looked up and saw two groups of slaves on both sides of the mountains, with about the number of people.
There are about 3,000 people.
Under the dark moonlight, they were densely distributed on the mountains on both sides like ghosts. Before the cavalry could react, giant stones like round tables rolled down like floods.
The sound of the huge rocks hitting and roaring sounds ran down from the mountains on both sides, rushing towards the cavalry in the canyon like wind sweeping away the remaining clouds.
The cavalry's queue was in chaos, and they fled backwards, but the complex team not only prevented their escape, but also made the originally chaotic queue even more crowded and panicked.
The boulders on both sides had not yet fallen, and some of the cavalry were knocked over or trampled to the ground while crowding and striking each other.
The chaos did not last long and was hit by the whistling stonehenge. The panic sound also turned into the wailing sound of war horses and the screams of the cavalry...
The huge rocks were like chariots that used the potential energy of the mountain to destroy everything along the way. Although the war horses and soldiers had thick armor on their bodies, they were as fragile as eggshells in front of the huge rocks.
The war horses were either knocked away by a huge rock or crushed by them. The cavalry on their bodies were even more unresisting. Some were killed by the giant rocks on both sides, and the other was hit by the giant rocks on the spot.
More of them became meat pies in the impact and chaos of the boulders.
For a moment, the sound of the rolling rocks, the tearing of the body, the screams of the cavalry and the neighing of the war horses resounded throughout the canyon, like hell.
Under the cold moonlight, the huge rocks on both sides of the canyon were still pouring down like endless waves. At this moment, 2,000 big birds flew out from the other side of the fire wall, and three slaves sat on the back of the big bird.
They set their bows and arrows, and their sharp arrows aimed at the chaotic cavalry units in the canyon.
"Swoosh swish swish swish..." After a series of dense rains of arrows poured down like a storm. After the rain of arrows, the cavalry troops were overturned, with casualties and injuries.
The cavalry troops on the ground have become the target of the air force's wanton slaughter, and they have no power to resist. The birds sometimes dive down and use their sharp claws to pierce the cavalry's bodies on the horse's back, or grab them firmly.
Throw into the sky.
The big birds sometimes flew over the heads of the cavalry like hurricanes, and they were greeted by the piercing spears and whistling scimitars.
While air forces attack, both sides
(This chapter is not over, please turn the page)
The surging and dense boulders of the mountain still crushed and destroyed everything along the way, and more and more cavalrymen were buried under the boulders.
3,000 large birds soared into the air from the camp of the Guards. They flew like dense locusts to the fierce fighting area, and their goal was naturally to rescue the trapped cavalry.
They did not fly high and flew forward along the canyon, and their height did not exceed the mountains on both sides, so that they could reach the target area as soon as possible.
Just as they had just arrived at the fierce battle area, nearly 2,000 slave crossbowmen suddenly flashed out from the height of the mountains on both sides. Before the air forces of the Guards launched an attack, the latter overturned the former like a cloud.
Arrow cluster.
The air force that came to rescue was caught off guard. After the arrow rain, nearly 30% of the big birds were shot by arrows. They were like hedgehogs and fell head-on into the canyon...
The attack caused a brief chaos in the air force of the Guards' Army, but the attack of the slave army did not stop there. One by one, a large net appeared in the air, with more than 100 sides.
There are 6 big birds at the two ends of the big net, and they are 12 in a group. They pull the big net and fly quickly towards the air force of the Guards...
Soon, 100 large nets closed the chaotic air troops like fishing. As the large nets closed, they became turtles in the net.
At the same time, about 800 large birds composed of slave resistance flew around 100 large nets. The slave warriors on the back of the big bird waved their spears and stabbed the soldiers in the net.
After the blood mist sprayed, the soldiers on the back of the big bird were slaughtered.
Afterwards, 100 large nets were pulled and flew to the other side of the firewall by the big birds, which was in the camp of the slave rebels. Following them were the 800 large birds and their backs on the assassination mission.
Slave warriors on the side.
At this point, the air forces of the Guards were wiped out, while the air forces of the Rebels increased from nothing to more than 3,200.
This also marked the absolute air supremacy of Luode's army.
The massacre on the ground continued, and the rolling boulders destroyed and massacred war horses and cavalry along the way. Clusters of arrows from the mountains on both sides of the canyon were still falling densely, and more and more cavalry fell in pools of blood.
The massacre lasted for three hours, and 5,000 heavy cavalry and 20,000 light cavalry were almost massacred, and only a few remaining defeated soldiers of about 300 people broke out of the encirclement.
They were all seriously injured and had no combat power.
In this battle, the cavalry units of the Guards were wiped out.
Four firewalls are still burning violently, waist-deep grease and heavy cavalry falling into the trench have become a constant stream of fuel, the surging fire is like four beacons illuminating the battlefield of fighting, and the fire is reflected in the light.
They are the lost lives and piles of broken limbs and broken bodies.
On the hill not far away, Luo De breathed a long sigh of relief. The strategy he formulated took effect, but he was very awake. Although this battle wiped out the air and cavalry units of the Guards, its main force still exists.
, it is not easy to completely chew this hard bone at the fastest speed.
One of the most unfavorable factors is that the five king-supporting troops that surrounded by land and water are not far apart, and the advancement is extremely fast, and they will arrive at the canyon area at most two days.
Luode must wipe out the Guards' Corps as fast as possible, otherwise the empire's king-supporting army would arrive at the periphery of Jiye City and encircle them. At that time, the situation would be completely reversed.
Time is survival and victory for him.
