Most of the cavalry vanguard led by Guo Hailong had been lost, with less than 100,000 cavalry remaining. After completing the task of slowing down the enemy's attack and slowing down the enemy's pace, they retreated towards the two wings with the support of Guo Changzhuo and Alishi's cavalry.
.
However, the cavalry on both sides have become entangled. It is not easy to retreat and move.
The vanguard general Guo Hailong was initially protected by thousands of soldiers.
Now there are only a few hundred people left, and the number is still decreasing.
Guo Hailong's attack was too forward, and he was completely divided and surrounded by the Storm Legion.
Most of the eighteen pioneer flags have fallen.
The soldiers in the heaven also know the organization of the human world.
There are constant shouts from heavenly generals: "This man is a human general. Anyone who beheads him will be promoted to the third level and given the title of Ten Thousand Riders!"
Faced with such a huge reward, countless celestial cavalry charged towards Guo Hailong.
In the short time of half a stick of incense, Guo Hailong had very few people left.
He was covered in blood and his left arm was cut off.
Before his head was chopped off, he shouted something loudly.
"Brothers! I, Guo Hailong, take the first step! Loyal bones are buried everywhere in the mountains! There is no need to wrap the body in horse leather..." Before he could finish his words, his head was chopped off by the enemy.
Then more than a dozen rays of cold light came, and his remains and his horse were chopped into several pieces.
The formation of the Storm Legion, under the dust and sand in the sky, has been guided and compressed to the line of Shuanglong Qiu due to poor visibility.
To the north of Dawu Ancient City, Shuanglong Qiu is the only two highlands that are not very high.
In fact, they are just two short slopes, with a height no more than five feet.
If they want to face the main force of the Storm Legion in Dawu Ancient City, the human cavalry can only rely on these two low slopes.
The terrifying sound of the Eight Ox Crossbows breaking through the air when they were fired finally sounded on the battlefield, and hundreds of Eight Ox Crossbows set up on the high slopes of Shuanglong Qiu fired in a round.
The swords, bows and crossbows of the light cavalry are not powerful enough to damage the six-legged beast cavalry, but under the eight-oxen crossbow, any living creature on the battlefield is a younger brother.
The long crossbow gun made of pure iron [Biqudao www.biqudao.xyz], with three rounds per crossbow, was placed on the launcher on the crossbow bed. As the launch trigger was smashed down by the soldier with a wooden hammer, it was ready to go.
The Zhangba crossbow gun fired whizzed into the swirling yellow sand and dust.
The storm army that charged at the front all fell down.
Even the tall and ferocious six-legged beast cavalry could not survive the fire of the eight-oxen crossbow.
Unable to see the enemy clearly in the dust, after firing the first round of crossbows, the human soldiers turned the winches as quickly as possible to re-wind the Eight Ox Crossbows.
Six soldiers, two each carrying a pure iron crossbow, were already waiting.
The thick bowstring on the crossbow bed was tightened again under the action of the winch, and the three crossbow guns were immediately placed in the slots.
"put!"
Following the order from the old general Zuoshan who was guarding Shuanglong Qiu, hundreds of eight-niu crossbows once again let out their ferocious roar.
He also harvested the lives of several Storm Legion knights.
The Storm Legion's offensive was stuck on the front line of Shuanglong Hill.
Fear permeated the forward camp of the Storm Legion.
Because the yellow dust and smoke obscured the sky and the sun, the distance they could see in front of their eyes was no more than two feet.
In such a situation where the line of sight is greatly obstructed, and deadly crossbows are constantly shot from the sand, even a veteran who has spent the rest of his life in battles will find it difficult to withstand such strong psychological pressure.
The forwards were blocked at Shuanglong Hill and were not allowed to advance, which made the Storm Legion's coach Huo Sihe very angry.
He had followed the Phantom Princess in the wars in the heaven before, and his military attainments were not low. He knew that if the eight-oxen crossbow positions on the two low slopes that were angles to each other were not resolved, the Storm Legion would end up in this battle.
The casualties were huge.
Huo Sihe first ordered the six-legged beasts of the forward battalion to stabilize their formation and continue to attack south.
Then the troops from Liujia were separated, passed through both sides of the forward camp, and charged towards the two low slopes where the crossbows were fired.
The enemy's footsteps were getting closer and closer, but the crossbow still didn't stop firing.
When the enemy rushed to the foot of Shuanglong Qiu, all the eight-niu crossbows lowered their angles and fired a volley, causing the people below the dune to fall on their backs.
When the enemy's attack was blocked, General Zuoshan drew his sword and loudly said: "The Eight Ox Crossbow is the only weapon that can cause fatal damage to the Six-legged Beast Rider! All Eight Ox Crossbows, don't stop, keep shooting at the enemy!"
For each eight-oxen crossbow, there are seven brothers left behind. Other brothers, rush down with me to stop these thieves! Kill them!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Tens of thousands of soldiers rushed down from Shuanglong Hill.
They were all cavalry, but they did not ride their own horses.
They waved the scimitars in their hands and used their flesh and blood to stop the six-legged beast cavalry army armed to the teeth.
On Dawu City in the south.
A messenger carrying a flag quickly ran to Guo Changyu.
He shouted: "Guo Shuai! General Zuoshan led his men to rush down Shuanglong Qiu!"
The corner of Guo Changyu's mouth twitched.
Zuo Shan and he have been through life and death for many years, and ten years ago they fought together against the Heavenly Storm Legion in the wasteland.
Before the catastrophe occurred, when the two of them were still teenagers, they were stationed in Beiting together and fought countless bloody battles with the cavalry of the Western Regions.
They are not only life and death, not only sworn brothers, but also in-laws.
Zuo Shan’s daughter is married to Guo Haitian, Guo Changyu’s eldest son.
Although Guo Changyu had thought of the worst outcome for this battle, he had also prepared for the worst.
But when he heard that his brother, who had been through life and death, used his flesh and blood to block the enemy's cavalry, Guo Changyu still couldn't bear it.
His hands were clenched into fists.
Besides this action, what else can he do?
His youngest son Guo Hailong had already died in battle in front of him before a stick of incense.
The eldest son, Guo Haitian, led the main force of more than one million men and was waiting in a tight formation south of Shuanglong Qiu, about to confront the enemy.
The battle of Dawu City is destined to destroy all the men of the Guo family.
Including men who are married to the Guo family.
Guo Changyu had the ability to save Zuoshan, but he couldn't.
The light cavalry carried a total of 1,200 eight-oxen crossbows this time, of which 800 were erected on Shuanglong Qiu and 400 were erected on the walls of Dawu Ancient City.
There are quite a lot of Eight-Niu Crossbows, but there are not many crossbow guns. Each Eight-Niu Crossbow is equipped with only thirty crossbow guns, which means it is only enough to fire ten rounds.
The eight-niu crossbow set up on Shuanglong Hill has now fired six rounds, and the remaining crossbows are only enough to fire four rounds.
It is not cost-effective to send soldiers to fight the enemy at Ssangyong Hill where the terrain is difficult to deploy in order to shoot four-wheeled crossbows.
Therefore, whoever is responsible for the Eight Bull Crossbow on Shuanglong Hill will die.
At that time, dozens of young generals were vying to be the first to garrison Shuanglongqiu.
But in the end, Guo Changyu handed over this task to Zuo Shan.
Zuo Shan gave Guo Changyu reasons that he couldn't refuse.
"Old brother, we are all old, and we will die when we die.
They are still young, and they will be needed even more in the future human battlefield.
Shuanglongqiu is the most dangerous place, leave it to me."
Guo Changyu from the city wall gritted his teeth and said: "Beat the drums, cheer, and pay homage to the souls of the heroes who died in the battle!"
"Dong dong..." The sound of drums came from the top of Dawu City, and countless human soldiers shouted: "Wind! Wind! Wind! Strong wind!"
