Dian Wei, who was fighting, glanced at the Kushan army that was retreating, and couldn't help but frown. There was something strange about what the other party did, but he had no idea why for a while.
"I don't know. The retreat of the enemy is an opportunity for us. As long as we follow the city wall and open the city gate, we will win this battle."
A team leader glanced at Dian Wei. He didn't think much. He only knew that now that the enemy had retreated, he had a chance to capture the opponent's city wall. As long as they captured this place, they would win.
"No, no, there is something wrong here. I order the army not to advance rashly, but to line up in battle formation and move forward with caution."
Even though the team leader said so, Dian Wei still felt that something was wrong. He couldn't be careless at this moment. One wrong move could lead to a complete loss.
"But."
Hearing Dian Wei's words, the team leader couldn't help but be startled. Now was the time to pursue with all his strength and expand the results, but he had to advance slowly. He was a little confused.
"No buts, just follow orders."
Dian Wei just felt that his brain was not used enough. Although he had followed Yuan Shu for so long and had improved a lot, it was really difficult for him to analyze the current battle situation.
"promise."
Dian Wei's order was quickly spread to the entire army. Soldiers from both the Guards and the Polu Army lined up in battle formation and advanced slowly, not daring to pursue and expand the victory.
"charge."
Chihabna put down his visor, then slapped his horse, and directly ordered the armored horse to charge forward.
"Rumble."
The continuous sound of horse hooves exploded on the city wall like thunder, and a murderous aura like an ancient giant beast suddenly burst out.
"No, it's the enemy's cavalry. No wonder they retreated and opened the passage. It turned out that with this move in mind, the entire army paused their advance to prepare to resist the impact of the enemy's cavalry."
Hearing the sound of horse hoofbeats, Dian Wei instantly understood what the other party was thinking. The Kushans with infantry could no longer resist their footsteps, so they wanted to win by surprise and use cavalry to attack them on the city.
Dian Wei gave an order, and the guardsmen at the front did not hesitate and went directly into a defensive state. Although they did not have the strongest shields, they still had their own bloody courage and fighting spirit that would never admit defeat.
As the armored cavalry got closer and closer, the guards in the front row also tightened their grip on the halberds in their hands, waiting for the enemy's charge.
"Throw a spear."
Although it was dark night, Dianwei estimated the distance of the Kushan troops by the sound of horse hooves, and directly ordered the soldiers to throw spears, hoping to block the charge of the Kushan cavalry.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
An armored cavalryman was nailed to death by a flying halberd falling from the sky, and blood soon spread all over their front.
"Jump over and continue charging."
Although you can't see your own losses, you can still see the losses in front of you.
A noble frost cavalry passed over his own corpse and continued to charge forward.
"Haberd, fight."
Dian Wei roared and signaled the soldiers to prepare for battle.
"Peng,"
"Peng."
"Peng."
The Chinese armored cavalry finally came forward, and with their own impact, they directly cut a bloody path through the Chinese army. Countless guardsmen were knocked away and picked to death, even if the soldiers were fighting desperately.
There was no way to stop the torrent of steel charging from the Kushan army.
"We can't go on like this. The whole army will retreat temporarily."
Seeing that his soldiers were at a disadvantage and being killed one by one, Dian Wei felt that he was too useless and could only order the subsequent soldiers to retreat back to temporarily avoid the enemy's armored cavalry.
“General, where can we retreat to now?
Are you talking about going down the city wall?"
After hearing Dian Wei's order, a guard leader was also anxious. The city wall is only so big, where can he retreat to even if he retreats?
"Don't worry about it, leave these to me and you can just retreat for the time being."
Dian Wei glanced at the city wall and walked straight to a huge stone bullet. Then veins popped up in his arms. The only way he could think of now was to carry the stone and move it to the center of the city wall to block the Kushan cavalry from advancing.
path of.
Although Dian Wei has great power, these stone bullets are not placed on the city wall, but have been deeply embedded in the city wall. It is simply too difficult to take them out, and it is simply beyond the reach of human power.
of.
"Quick, help the general carry the stone bullets."
Seeing Dian Wei's actions, the soldiers around him immediately figured out what Dian Wei was thinking and yelled to help Dian Wei complete his idea.
Countless soldiers began to follow Dian Wei, using iron halberds, steel knives, and all available means to defeat the stone bullets in front of Dian Wei.
What everyone did was still effective. The stone bullets that were still embedded in the city wall gradually started to move and became more active.
"Ah, get up here."
The stone bullets were active, and Dian Wei used his arms again. The stone bullets embedded deep in the city wall were slowly lifted up by Dian Wei's strange strength.
"Let me go."
Dian Wei used his arms again and slammed the stone bullet into the center of the city wall.
"Hahahaha, Kushan people, you are just wishful thinking in trying to capture us with this ghostly trick. I told the front troops to block them for me, and the soldiers in the back row immediately helped me move the stone bullets."
Upon hearing Dian Wei's order, the guardsmen in the front row did not hesitate. They each roared and unleashed their absolute strength to block Guishang's armored cavalry and buy Dian Wei time.
"Charge, break through them, break through them for me."
Feeling the tenacity of the Chinese soldiers, Qihabna knew that it was between life and death, and he must break through the opponent's defense and drive the opponent off the city wall.
A spear and shield battle broke out again. The soldiers of the Guards relied on their unafraid of sacrifice and used their own flesh and blood to slow down the Kushan cavalry and buy Dian Wei enough time.
"Peng."
"Peng."
"Peng."
With the first experience, Dian Wei once again moved several stone bullets to block the center of the city wall, leaving only a passage for the soldiers to walk.
"The whole army retreated backwards."
After doing all this, Dian Wei once again ordered the soldiers outside the stone bullet wall to return immediately. The soldiers had sacrificed enough and no more blood could be shed.
"promise."
Upon hearing Dian Wei's order, the soldiers who were responsible for delaying defense at the front did not retreat in a hurry, but slowly evacuated from back to front through the passage reserved by Dian Wei.
Although it is cruel to do so, they must make a choice. If they can sacrifice themselves to save Pao Ze, then their sacrifice is meaningful.
As the Chinese people continued to withdraw, their resistance gradually weakened, and finally they were broken through by the Kushan people.
"stop."
Looking at the stone wall built with stone bullets in front of him, Qihabna knew that his wish to drive the Chinese people under the city wall had failed, so he immediately ordered the soldiers to stop advancing.
"General, what should we do?"
A cavalryman came to Qihabna and asked him how to deal with the dilemma before him.
"It's okay. They can block one side, but not the other. The entire army will retreat and continue to encircle and suppress the Chinese soldiers from the other side."
Just as Qihabna said, although Dianwei was able to block this side, the Polu army on the other side was retreating steadily under the attack of armored cavalry.
"The soldiers in the front row continue to block the enemy. The soldiers and horses in the back immediately disperse. Don't stand in a dense crowd. Use the stone bullets as cover, use the long spears as snagging ropes, and break their horses' legs for me."
At the critical moment, a school lieutenant stood up directly. Looking at the large and small stone bullets scattered on the city wall, he directly ordered the soldiers to give up resistance and put Kushan's armored cavalry in. Then he ambush behind the stone bullets and attack the enemy's cavalry.
Upon hearing the captain's order, the soldiers of the Polu army responded immediately. The soldiers in the front row still tried their best to resist the Kushan cavalry and buy time and opportunities for Paoze behind.
Not long after, the rear arrangement was completed, and the Polu soldiers in the front row gave way to the passage, allowing Kushan's armored riders to enter.
"rush."
Seeing the Chinese people scattering, Kantehazi, the captain in charge of this area, couldn't help but roar. The enemy's retreat proved that they were afraid of their own existence. Now they were just continuing to embed, trying to drive all the Chinese people off the city wall.
The Guards Cavalry continued to move forward like a rolling torrent. Without the obstruction of the Polu Army, they moved forward extremely smoothly. Although there were giant stone bullets around from time to time, it did not hinder their speed at all. After all, they were the strongest in the empire.
Elite cavalry, if they don't even have this riding skill, they won't be able to join the Imperial Guard.
"Smash it for me."
Seeing the enemy rushing over regardless of them, the captain couldn't help but sneer at the corner of his mouth. The Kushan cavalry dared to show off their power here, now let you have a taste of the power of the carbine.
The captain gave an order, and the Polu soldiers who were ambushing behind the stone bullets twitched the spears in their hands, and the spears were like dragons, directly attacking the legs of the armored war horses.
