In the palace of Dawan Kingdom, on a round-arched column tower, Upa raised his head with his hands behind his back, watching the black eagle slowly falling.
Next to him, Flying Eagle Mask, who had escaped from the underground palace, was trembling and kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.
"It's about to begin." Anger quickly emerged on Upa's face.
"The army of nearly 15,000 and the Dawan Golden Cavalry of 8,000 are considered a terrifying force in the entire Western Region."
"You also said that Thief Xu's men and horses were only six or seven thousand before."
"Master, yes, exactly."
Click.
Upa stepped on Eagle Mask's head and slowly trampled it to the ground. Even though blood was oozing from its eyes and nose, Eagle Mask did not dare to move.
"With the inferior strength of our troops and the long journey, we are already in dire straits. Even with the help of people from Zhenlan City, we may not be able to escape."
"Lou Luo, don't let me down. The eight thousand golden knights are the elites of the Western Regions."
"Don't worry, Master, Prince Lou Luo will definitely succeed."
"Trash, you should have listened to me a long time ago." Upa said with a cold voice and stepped down again.
belch--
Flying Eagle Mask's face turned pale, he vomited blood from his mouth, and still did not dare to move. Even the mask was trampled to pieces, revealing a face full of scars.
"Next time, I'll feed you to the sand wolf."
"Thank you, master, for not killing me."
"snort."
Upa retracted his movements, raised his head again, and the corners of his mouth showed a habitual, sinister smile.
…
"Golden Rider——"
After climbing over several sand dunes, Lou Luo's expression became even crazier. Behind him, on his left and behind, were bronze-plated cavalry, roaring all over the sky, giving them the majesty of a majestic army.
"Prince, it's just ahead!"
Lou Luo raised his head, and sure enough, he could vaguely see the Shu people's encampment hidden behind the sand dunes. If they were not discovered and left by surprise...
Lou Luo raised his mace excitedly.
"The Golden Cavalry listens to our military orders and attacks Shu Dog head-on to show off our power in the Western Regions!"
"kill!"
…
"After a long-distance attack, when the enemy sees our camp, they will definitely be eager to win." Xu Mu rode a horse and hid in the sand dunes beside the camp.
"With this, we will rely on the power of the charge to launch the first round of all-out assault. Don't forget that the surrounding desert terrain is extremely flat and extremely suitable for cavalry."
Xu Mu stopped talking and turned back, looking at the more than 700 Shu soldiers on horseback. Behind the sand dunes on the opposite side, there were also Chen Sheng's thousands of Shu soldiers on horseback. They were divided into two wings. As long as the enemy troops continued to advance, they would be included.
A place of siege and killing.
The earth was shaking, like thundering horse hooves, which stung people's ears for a while.
"Lord, the enemy is getting closer."
"Don't be anxious, calm down." Xu Mu said calmly.
If it were placed on the plains and hills, as long as he had time to prepare, he could use the nearby forests to build more horses and even catapults. But now, this is a desert, except for some thirst-resistant plants like thorns.
There is nothing else.
Of course, the old cactus Si Hu chopped back must be a good thing.
"Array-"
At this time, in the camp, an old Xishu general was preparing to fight with the infantry left behind in the camp.
In front of them, military tents seemed to be scattered randomly, but in fact they were full of details.
"call."
The Shu soldiers in the first three rows had a leather shield in one hand and a spear in the other, using a spear array to protect the long-range rifles at the rear.
"Strike the bow!"
Sand and dust rolled up all over the sky, and with the sudden strong wind, the world around them was already shaking.
"Kill!"
The first wave of golden knights were already roaring towards them, waving their scimitars high.
"Tripping the rope!"
hold head high--
First, the enemies riding four or five were stumbled, and then, the enemy riding behind them failed to stop their horses in time, and fell down a large area.
Seven or eight of the Shu soldiers in the trip rope group were shot to death by horse bows.
"Listen to my military orders!" General Lao Pi raised his sword and stepped forward. "With your bow, shoot the flying arrows in a rotational direction in the north direction!"
Thump thump thump.
The sound of crashing strings resounded neatly. Following that, densely packed arrows were shot out from the formation of Xishu, one after another.
The trap of the horse rope, in this kind of terrain, can at best stop the leading cavalry. In a short time, the enemy cavalry has already reacted.
Those who were not dead ran away quickly. If there were dead people or those who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, there was no way to take care of them. Pieces of horse hooves stepped on the corpses.
"Rear troops, rein in your horses and fire back!" After visually measuring the distance, Lou Luo shouted angrily.
Under the orders of the military, only a moment later, the flying arrows all over the sky were also thrown into the Shu camp.
"Raise your shield!"
The protective power of the leather shield was not very sufficient. For a time, many Shu soldiers fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
"Hahaha!" Lou Luo was overjoyed.
"Quick, charge forward immediately and crush all the Shu dogs! That Xu thief must be hiding in the headquarters formation!"
"Kill!"
…
"Brother Mu, if not..."
"Si Hu, wait a moment." Xu Mu gritted his teeth. He felt distressed. The battle losses due to his disadvantage were getting bigger and bigger. But what he should do most now was to rely on the two wings to attack and win the biggest victory.
Kill game.
Chen Sheng, who was on the other side, also looked anxious. But again, he did not dare to expose himself without Xu Mu's signal.
Before the camp, the Golden Cavalry of Dawan Kingdom had already entered in a mighty manner. Unexpectedly, they had just entered the camp and were about to trample the military tents and pass by——
Suddenly, screams were heard one after another. The golden knights fell down one after another.
"Prince, the military tents are full of rebels... No wonder these Shu people have such strange distribution of military tents!"
Lou Luo's face was startled, and after seeing clearly the formation ahead, he gritted his teeth.
He couldn't figure out why these Shu people were so tenacious in this desert terrain.
"Damn that old cactus thorn!"
Not only the old cactus, but also the iron sword hidden in the horse. Unfortunately, since there is no fixed method, the power of these horses is not too strong.
But even so, the charging Golden Cavalry still caused a commotion.
"Quick, shoot the flying arrow!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the infantry bowmen in the main camp of our formation, following the order, threw waves of flying arrows at the enemy in front.
With the blocking of the enemy's horses, and the brief chaos, the number of casualties and casualties on the enemy's horsemen was increasing.
…
Clang.
On the sand dune, Xu Mu's face became serious and he drew his long sword.
Behind him, more than 700 Shu soldiers on horseback began to tighten their reins, straightening their leather shields and long iron spears.
"Signal."
woo woo woo woo.
The dull horn horn sounded suddenly and suddenly.
On the sand dune opposite, Chen Sheng, who had been impatient for a long time, roared with anger.
"Brothers, follow my general to kill the enemy thieves and defend our Western Shu! Kill!"
"Kill, kill!"
"In this battle, as I said before, the enemy dogs in the Western Regions have already entered our Western Shu, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered!" Xu Mu swung his long sword.
"Listen to my king's order, cooperate with the flanking army, and rush to kill the enemy's cavalry!"
"Brothers, it's time to grab the military glory!" Si Hu raised his ax and shouted.
