Qin Huaidao also saw the cavalry coming up, and Cheng Chumo's men were fighting. He could not take action to deal with it. After receiving the order for help, he looked at Cheng Chuliang.
It is true that Cheng Chuliang was in the baggage division, but his combat effectiveness was not bad. He was only responsible for the baggage division. He was left by Qin Huaidao on the hillside to serve as the general reserve team and could support him at any time.
The enemy's tactics are not clear yet, so it is not advisable to rashly transfer troops from other places.
Seeing the fierce fighting ahead, Cheng Chuliang had already been itching for a long time. He did not dare to move due to military discipline, but in his heart he was eager to go into battle for a big killing. When he saw Qin Huaidao's gaze, he nodded knowingly and left in a hurry.
Qin Huaidao looked forward again and shouted: "Send the order, all ministries must not move, guard the defense area, be careful of the enemy's attacks from the east and west, and tell Cheng Chumo that the reinforcements are coming soon, concentrate on fighting, and never lose the meat in your mouth."
"Follow the order." Zhao Long roared and quickly conveyed the order.
Cheng Chumo quickly received the order conveyed by the flag soldiers. He was overjoyed and shouted: "Don't worry about the enemy troops coming up. Our reinforcements will be on top. Concentrate on killing the enemy in front of you. You must not let any of them escape. Use the three-three system to trap them."
Live them."
When everyone heard that reinforcements were coming, they felt confident and jumped out of the trench one after another.
The three thousand cavalrymen of the Qiemo Kingdom rushed forward like crazy. They were very fast and the enemy was not stupid. They knew that most of the horse traps were filled and the opportunity was rare.
Cheng Chuliang also knew this, so he rushed down the hillside with his men, gave loud orders, split his troops into two, bypassed the fighting Cheng Chumo's army from both sides, and rushed up along the communication trench.
At this time, three thousand cavalrymen had already rushed to the horse trap area. The men on horseback fought hard against the horses and ran up at all costs, hoping to catch their opponents off guard.
Cheng Chuliang's men arrived, attacking from both sides, and pounced on the enemy like a pair of giant pliers.
Infantry is obviously at a disadvantage against cavalry.
The two armies collided fiercely, and countless people were knocked away by the cavalry. Cheng Chuliang fought tooth and nail, charging with the first blow, flying several people away in one breath, and shouted: "Hold them, don't let any of them go."
Military orders are like mountains!
What's more, it won't work if you don't block it. How can a man outrun a war horse? He can only survive by using his life. If he blocks it, he can survive.
Seeing that Cheng Chuliang was not afraid of death, everyone fought like crazy. Everyone's blood was aroused and they refused to retreat.
Five thousand men were as solid as a rock, blocking the cavalry, although the cost was high.
The cavalrymen of the Qiemo Kingdom were also angry and charged with all their might.
"Boom! Boom!"
Suddenly, there was a heavy sound of horse hooves.
Cheng Chuliang thought that another enemy army was coming to kill him. When he was busy, he looked out and saw a cavalry rushing up from the side. The sharp scimitar stretched out from both sides of the horse, like the fangs of the god of death. The leader was very familiar with it. He was overjoyed and roared: "
Brothers, hold on, our cavalry is here."
"Spread out and kill!"
Almost at the same time, Luo Zhang roared and sent out an attack signal, like thunder roaring from the sky.
When the light cavalry heard the roar, they lowered their bodies almost immediately, dispersed in tacit understanding, and formed ten columns, each with about 500 people. They roared their sharp javelins and slammed into the enemy from the side.
No one slashed with a sword because there was no need.
Everyone lowered their bodies to protect themselves, allowing the sharp scimitars to tear apart the enemy's body with the help of horse speed. There were not enough scimitars, and the people behind them were holding swords, one in each hand, and followed suit to kill the enemy.
The speed was so fast that the ten columns were like ten violent war dragons, rushing forward, turning the enemy upside down and quickly killing each other.
Luo Zhang did not lead his troops to fight back, but instead marched away, giving full play to the essence of the light cavalry. Three thousand cavalry were killed in a mess, with less than a thousand remaining.
Without speed, cavalry is worse than infantry.
Cheng Chuliang shouted excitedly: "Kill -"
Everyone reacted and rushed forward with roars, drowning the remaining cavalry in a chaotic mess.
At this time, Cheng Chumo also resolved the battle and rushed up with his people to help. Seeing this scene, he shouted excitedly: "Hahaha, have fun, go and clean up the battlefield."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone was laughing and fighting like crazy!
Continuous battles and victories boost morale!
The battle ended soon. Cheng Chuliang and his men were preparing to return to the hillside and continue to serve as reserves. Cheng Chumo did not stop him and said excitedly: "Brother, are you okay?"
At this time, a flag soldier rushed up and shouted: "Two division commanders, with orders from the camp, quickly pile up the enemy's corpses in front of the horse pit and set them on fire to form an obstacle to prevent the enemy from continuing to attack. We will take the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and recover."
The effect of a horse trap.”
"Good idea." Cheng Chumo's eyes lit up and he looked at Cheng Chuliang.
Cheng Chuliang nodded understandingly, and the two quickly passed on the order.
Although there were many casualties in the battle between the two armies, there were still more than 8,000 people. They started dragging the corpses and rushed forward. One person and two people could drag away 16,000 corpses. However, the enemy attacked three times, and every time
There were 3,000 people at one time, but the total was only 9,000, and it didn't take two round trips to solve it.
In less than three minutes, all the corpses were carried away lightly and piled up in front to form a wall of corpses. Cheng Chu gave a silent order and immediately set fire to them. The army splashed weapons and arrows, and then slaughtered and decomposed the injured horses, and each person carried a
The group quickly returned to camp, and all the uninjured horses were taken away.
Nine thousand corpses were quickly burned into a fire, and the smell of corpses filled the air and was blown far away by the wind.
The fire formed a wall of fire that was difficult to overcome.
The cavalry from Qiemo Kingdom that rushed up had to stop. Not knowing what to do, they quickly sent someone back to ask for instructions.
on the hill.
Li Derjian said happily: "This is a good method. It not only cleans up the corpses, allows the trap to show its power again, but also reduces the plague. It also prevents the enemy from attacking and wins precious time. It kills three birds with one stone. My wise brother is wise."
Qin Huaidao smiled, did not answer, and looked at Zhao Long beside him: "Send the order, Cheng Chuliang's troops retreat to the hillside to rest, Lingfang Yiai's troops, and Li Yixie's troops each dispatch a thousand people to quickly enter Cheng Chu's silent defense area to assist in the defense."
"Obey the order!" Zhao Long quickly issued the order.
"Are you worried that the enemy will continue to attack silently from Cheng Chu?" Li Derjian asked curiously.
"If it were me, I would definitely choose to continue the attack here. The traps in other places have not yet been destroyed, so it will be more difficult. However, there is still a point where we can break through." Qin Huaidao said, looking towards the direction of the river bed, hesitating for a moment, and shouted: "
Send an order to Brother Xue and ask him to put three thousand archers on standby to support the direction of the river bed at any time."
The order was quickly transmitted via semaphore.
Li Derjian realized something, and looked towards the direction of the river bed, and smiled: "The dam is indeed a flaw. As long as we take it, release the water, and then hold it, we will take the initiative. We can take the initiative to attack or evacuate. However, there are wise brothers deployed there.
, I can’t get it without 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.”
"If they dare to concentrate their forces to attack the dam, I can concentrate my forces to fight them, and it will be a quick victory." Qin Huaidao said with murderous intent.
"That makes sense!" Li Derjian smiled.
"Woo-"
Suddenly, a low, deep, and long sound of horns sounded.
Immediately afterwards, the army of the Qiemo Kingdom began to stir. A group of 3,000 cavalrymen rushed up, lined up around the fire wall, and rushed towards the area defended by Cheng Chumo again. Another group of cavalry went straight to the direction of the dam, with a total of 10,000 people, rushing towards the area.
The ones in front were none other than the company of crossbowmen from before.
Is this a desperate effort?!
Everyone looked stern when they saw this scene and clenched their swords.
Cheng Chumo looked at the roaring cavalry. After he got up, there was still a cavalry of about 3,000 people. The distance was not very far away. He could take over at any time. He was furious. He really regarded himself as a weakling. He shouted:
"Hide them all, let them in and kill them. There are so many of us, so we are scared."
When everyone heard that it made sense, they added 2,000 people. After the casualties were recovered, there would still be 5,000 or 6,000 people, and there were horse traps and trenches to rely on. What the hell are you afraid of?
At this moment, the military morale is determined!
The corpses were cleaned up, and the horse trap once again showed its sharpness.
Three thousand cavalrymen rushed in and soon fell into horse traps. Others continued to rush forward, not daring to slow down, not to mention that it would hinder the speed of those behind them. A cavalryman without speed is still a cavalryman?
"Oh oh oh--"
The cavalry also began to risk their lives, screaming and rushing forward, regardless of being tripped by the horse pit. When they rushed to the trench, less than half of the cavalry was left. Cheng Chumo quickly issued a counterattack order, and both sides strangled together.
The cavalry behind took the opportunity to rush up. This scene made Cheng Chumo a little worried. He really asked for reinforcements. He saw Luo Zhang coming again with the light cavalry and went straight to the cavalry behind. He was overjoyed and roared: "Hahaha, reinforcements.
Here you go, focus on killing the enemy, don’t mess around.”
"Kill!"
When everyone saw the reinforcements, they became convinced. They jumped out of the trench and stabbed the charging horses fiercely. Some people even pulled the man off the horse and chopped him with a knife.
