The sound of horse hooves, although not much, is extremely loud.
"This cavalry is only five thousand at most. It should be the so-called cavalry of the Governor's Guard. The whole army is ready to fight."
Listening to this voice, Xu Chu immediately guessed that the people coming were the cavalry of the Governor-General's Guard of Li Te Province, and directly ordered the Polu troops to prepare for battle.
This time it was a battle to defend the city. The Polu army was fully equipped with equipment. Huge shields were thrust directly into their feet. Spears were thrust out from the gaps in the shields. Behind them were crossbows and arrows that had already been strung up.
With the war bows fully drawn, as long as the enemy comes to kill, they can strike with thunderous blows.
The sound of the cavalry's hoofbeats was getting closer and louder, and they were walking against each other. There was no fear in the eyes of the Polu army, but only calmness and the slightest expectation of war.
"Mr. Governor, we have discovered enemies ahead."
The cavalry of the governor's guard at the front saw the military formation of the Polu army formed based on the city gate, and reported the news directly to Rijeka.
"Cheerhurie, what should we do?
Should we go around the city or break through directly?"
Hearing the appearance of enemy soldiers and horses in front of her, Rijeka couldn't help but panic. Now the Chinese soldiers had entered the city. If she couldn't rush out, the final result would be defeat or capture.
"Governor, there are enemy cavalry in the city now. Their number is much higher than ours. If we go around the city now, we are very likely to be chased by the enemy. Instead of doing that, it is better to attack the city gate directly. I don't believe that any infantry can resist it.
Charge of the Cavalry Guard."
Pultz looked ahead, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes. The current situation was like this. If he retreated now and walked around the city, not only would it delay time, he might be caught by the enemy, but the morale of the soldiers would also gradually decrease.
"What do you think?"
Rijeka glanced at Pultz, and then aimed at Cherhurie. After all, the other person was the person she trusted the most.
"It seems that we can only charge forward now. We don't have time. The enemy's cavalry will be chasing us soon. Let's fight."
Cheerhu Lie thought for a while, and now it seems that the only thing he can do is do what Pultz said, fight for his life.
"The whole army charges."
Since Cherhurie said so, Rijeka had nothing to say and directly ordered the entire army to charge.
"kill."
The more than 3,000 cavalrymen of the Governor's Guard did not hesitate. Led by Pultz, they rushed towards the Polu army in front of them.
"Crossbow, release."
Seeing the enemy's cavalry rushing towards them, Xu Chu gave an order and ordered his soldiers to attack with crossbows.
All of a sudden, bows and crossbows flew together, and locusts rushed towards the cavalry of the governor's guard like rain.
"Avoid the arrow and speed up."
Seeing the rain of arrows on the opposite side, Pultz ordered the cavalry to avoid the arrows, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to speed up and attack the Polu army.
"Archer, let go."
After firing the crossbows, Xu Chu continued to order the soldiers to shoot the opponent with bows and arrows.
Blood was everywhere for a while, but these casualties no longer mattered to them. At this moment, they only had one thought, and that was to rush and defeat the enemy.
"kill."
The cavalry trampled the casualties like a running rhinoceros, directly hitting the copper and iron walls of the Polu army.
For a moment, blood spattered everywhere, and each cavalryman crashed to death on the spears of the Polu army. Even if they could break through the spears and hit the shields, their men and horses would be shattered, and they could not shake the Polu army's defense line at all.
"The archers continue to shoot."
Seeing the enemy's constant collision, Xu Chu smiled slightly. The Polu army was attacking the enemy's elites. Only by stepping on the corpses of these elites could the Polu army ascend to a higher level.
The three thousand cavalrymen of the Governor's Guard are like moths to a flame, rushing towards the Polu army like waves, but the Polu army in front of them is like a rock. No matter how fierce your cavalry is, their front line is
Not shaken at all.
"No, the enemy's defense line is too strong. They are all heavily armored infantry. We can't break out at all."
After losing more than a thousand cavalry, Pultz returned directly to report the situation to Rijeka. The opponent was so hard that he suspected that he was not attacking people, but led his cavalry to hit the city wall.
"You are the one who wants to fight, and you are the one who wants to retreat. Is it child's play for you to treat the battlefield as a battlefield?
Keep charging and you must fight a bloody path for me."
Hearing Pultz's words, Rijeka became angry on the spot. You fight when they say, and withdraw when you say. They have been fighting for such a long time. If you withdraw again, isn't that asking for death? Now that you have decided,
Even if they are all killed here, they must fight their way out.
"yes."
Pultz glanced at the furious Rijeka, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, but since someone had given the order in the current situation, he didn't have any idea, so he just tried his best.
"rush."
Hearing Pultz's words, all the cavalry were stunned. The situation is already like this, why are they still rushing?
"What are you looking at? If we don't break through the defense on the other side today, everyone will die here. Just try your best."
Pultz saw the hesitation of his cavalry, but at this point, it was impossible not to rush.
"kill."
Pultz galloped on his horse and took the lead towards the Polu army line on the opposite side.
Seeing that Pultz was taking the lead, the cavalry behind him had nothing to say and could only follow the opponent recklessly and attack the Polu army's defense line again.
Pultz's war horse was excellent and his riding skills were superb. When he came to the front of the military formation, he immediately lifted the reins, and the war horse took him into the air, leaping over the spears and shields in the front row and flying towards the inside.
"Shoot him."
The archers of the Polu army had already been prepared, and their arrows flew straight at Pultz in the air.
When Pultz saw the arrow flying, he did not hesitate and abandoned his horse directly, and then it dropped like a cannonball into the Polu army.
"kill."
Pultz's weapon was a big sword. He squatted on the ground immediately after landing. Before the Polu army could react, he swept through the entire army with one move.
Three or four of the Polu soldiers around him were knocked down in an instant. Just when he was about to get up, the Polu soldiers had already reacted, and seven or eight shields came from all around, surrounding him in the middle.
"Draw out the spear."
Behind the shield was the spearman. Hearing the order from the team leader, he directly struck with his spear without hesitation.
"when."
The spears thrust forward, and Pultz's broadsword slashed horizontally, forcefully sweeping away the three spears, but the spear thrust from behind was directly inserted into his body.
"kill."
The broadsword slashed again, breaking all the spears behind him, but as soon as he turned around, several more spears came and stabbed him.
In the blink of an eye, Pultz's body was stabbed with seven or eight holes, and blood flowed gurglingly.
"kill."
Even in this situation, Pultz still did not give in, and slashed directly at the shield in front of him with the big knife in his hand.
Seven or eight more spears came at him, all of them piercing his armor, and then they thrust him upwards hard, lifting him up in the air.
Pultz watched his cavalry in the air still suicidally attacking the Polu army formation, and his eyes could not help but bleed.
"charge."
After saying this, all the spears were withdrawn, and his whole body fell to the ground with a bang.
"kill."
The spear struck again, completely nailing Pultz to the ground.
Pultz died, and the cavalry behind him collapsed instantly. Even the cavalry guards were killed. What reason did they have to charge?
"run."
"do not fight."
"Walk."
There were only more than a thousand cavalry left and they fled in all directions. Only Cherhurie was left with nearly a hundred cavalry to guard Rijeka, and followed the scattered cavalry to retreat.
"What should we do now?"
Seeing the current situation, Rijeka is also at a loss and doesn't know what to do now.
"Lord Governor, we have been defeated."
When Cherhurie heard Rijeka's words, he was a little helpless. Now that their failure was certain, they would be unable to break out even if they wanted to. They might be doomed.
"Failed, defeated, really defeated?
Is it beyond saving?”
Rijeka glanced at Cheerhurie, her eyes blank.
"Governor, if you lose, you will lose. There is no way to save it. If the Governor surrenders now, I believe the other party will not make things difficult for you."
Rijeka was still imagining, but Cherhurie interrupted his fantasy. If he wanted to save the war, it would be better to think about how to surrender and save his life.
"Surrender, you actually want me to surrender?"
Hearing Cherhurie's words, Rijeka immediately became angry. He did not expect that his newest guard captain would persuade him to surrender.
"Governor, I am doing this for your own good. The current situation is that if you don't surrender, there will only be one consequence, and that is defeat and death."
Cheerhurie glanced at the other party. It was not that he was afraid of death, but that there was really no hope at this time, otherwise he would not have persuaded Rijeka to surrender.
"That's enough. I am Rijeka, the governor of Lit Province, and a nobleman of the Kushan Empire. Even if I die, I will not surrender to the Chinese."
Rijeka directly interrupted Cherhurie. He was the governor of Lit Province and a nobleman of the Kushan Empire. How could he surrender to the Chinese? He would rather die.
"If the governor thinks so, Cheerhurie is willing to die with you."
Hearing that Rijeka would rather die than surrender, Cheerhurie had nothing to say. Since he was the other party's personal guard commander, he would not betray the other party. He would live together and die with him, and he would be willing to die with him.
