The waiting night seemed particularly long. The Xixia soldiers were awakened by the sound of the horn in the middle of the night and grabbed their weapons and prepared for battle. However, it was not until the fire 300 steps away from the camp burned out and darkness once again enveloped everyone's sight that Daliao
The heavily armored wolf cavalry still did not launch an attack. They seemed to have disappeared into the endless grassland under the darkness of night.
The sun always seems to rise late in winter, especially in the eyes of a group of red-eyed and exhausted Xixia soldiers. The sun appears too late. However, when the sky gradually gets brighter, they stay nervous all night.
The heart that had not relaxed finally relaxed a little. Darkness is always scary.
After the sun rises, the snow-covered grassland can be seen far away at a glance. The end of the sight is still a vast expanse of white. Where is the shadow of the black-armored knight?
It seems that the black-armored knights who appeared last night are demons from hell. When the sun rises, they return to hell and wait for the next night. Everyone in the Xixia soldiers in the camp involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief and tensed up.
My nerves can finally relax.
About thirty meters away from the fire, there were many corpses lying in various directions, and a war horse that had lost its owner was lowering its head and using its mouth to move the stiff corpses of the owner's family. Under the rising sun, this scene
It seemed so peaceful, desolate and peaceful.
Including Little Locke, two groups of seventy cavalrymen died in battle thirty meters away from the fire. No one knew how they were killed. The second group of fifty cavalrymen also wailed,
The first batch of twenty-one people died quietly, without even making a sound.
Mendie sent people to drag back the corpses of the cavalry. After inspection, they found that the first batch of twenty-one people had been shot to death, but the arrows on the corpses had been taken back. The wounds could be confirmed
Yes, the enemy used absolutely no ordinary feather arrows, the wounds were so big that a fist could almost be stuffed into them.
"It's a spear throw!"
Mie Die gritted his teeth and said.
Only a heavy spear can cause such a huge wound. Even a four-edged armor-piercing awl cannot cause such a wound.
"Blame me!"
Mie Die's eyes were red and he was biting his lip.
He should have thought, it is dark under the lamp, it is dark under the lamp, how could he forget such a simple truth? The Khitan heavy cavalry was waiting not far from the fire, waiting for the scouts he sent out to attack one after another.
They were just a few dozen meters away from the fire. When the scouts, who were blinded by the light of the fire, rushed over, they must not have been able to see clearly the enemies waiting dozens of meters away. The first batch
Twenty-one people may have rushed to each other twenty meters away before they realized that they had arrived at the gate of hell.
At a distance of more than twenty meters, the heavy spear could pierce the Xixia scout who only wore leather armor.
The reason why the second batch of fifty cavalry shouted was because the enemy did not use long-range weapons at all. These fifty people were all killed. The distance of thirty meters was not enough for those approaching at high speed.
For two cavalry teams, they couldn't even use three breaths. When the cavalry he sent crossed the fire, they were thrown into the torrent of Khitan heavy armored cavalry before they had time to stop their horses.
Just one face-to-face encounter, and fifty cavalry were killed.
"General, what should we do now?"
Two of the three thousand commanders left behind in the camp have died. Anku and Diluo died in the hands of the Khitan cavalry one after another. The one who spoke was the only remaining commander, Naizhenjue.
"Let's give them a good burial first. They died in the battle because of my mistake. They are all warriors of Daxia."
Mendou covered the open eyes of a soldier with his hands and said with a heavy heart. The corners of his mouth were dry and cracked, perhaps from the cold, and his face looked ugly. His eyes were bloodshot and protruding outwards.
It seems to be squeezed out.
"We have to send out more scouts. The enemy retreats under the cover of night, but there is no guarantee when they will come back. The Khitan people's goal is to sneak to the north of the Qilian Mountains to attack General Chen's army. They want to defeat our hundreds of thousands of troops in the Qilian Mountains by attacking from both sides.
"The Khitans may not have expected to meet us here. They may have gone north, or they may be hiding somewhere."
Na Zhenjue responded and said: "I'm going to make arrangements right now. Most of the people in the scout team have been killed, so we can only arrange cavalry to replace them. I want to send out more, ten people per team, how many more teams are sent out?
, after all, the opponent is a heavy cavalry, and there is a high chance of retreating if there is no fight."
"Well, let's do as you say. Tell the soldiers to be careful and not to fight with the Khitan heavy cavalry. We will report back as soon as we find traces of the enemy."
Mie Die waved his hand. He felt that he had no strength in his body now. Last night's blow was not only difficult for the ordinary soldiers below to accept, but even he, the general, was overwhelmed by the heavy frustration and fear.
Qi. Strong, really strong. I have never seen a team with such strong momentum. Are they not human at all, are they Shura from hell?
For the second batch of cavalry sent out, the time from the first scream to the last person being killed was only thirty breaths. Add to this the time it took for the last Xixia soldier to be slowly walked up and stabbed to death, so
Counting fifty cavalrymen, they were all killed within ten breaths. Mie Die knew his cavalrymen very well. They were all real warriors, and each of them could bring down a calf with their strength.
They could hit a target a hundred steps away with one arrow. But they were killed by the enemy as if they were chopping up melons and vegetables, leaving no room for them to fight back.
Nai Zhenjue sighed. How could he not have fear in his heart? The enemy's tactics were too weird. Thinking about it now, maybe the enemy didn't come to attack at all, but just to intimidate. The soldiers in the German army's camp were so frightened that they didn't dare to go out.
The Khitan cavalry might have killed someone and then marched north to take General Chen's retreat. The Khitan cavalry had left all night first, and even if they sent someone to Qilian Mountain to report the news now, they might not be able to catch up.
Regardless of whether the enemy succeeds or not, it is difficult to escape the Tiande Army's responsibility this time.
Looking at the somewhat despondent bonus, Nai Zhenjue shook his head, smiled bitterly, stood up, and waited to go out to find out about the enemy. He also had to arrange for someone to report a message to General Chen. Regardless of whether he could make it in time or not, the message had to be sent.
He ordered the soldiers to go back to their tents to rest. After being frozen in the cold wind all night, they could no longer hold on any longer. Naizhenjue anxiously ordered two hundred cavalrymen to form a team of ten. As long as they saw the shadow of the Khitan people,
They came back immediately. Those Shura-like heavy cavalry were not something they could resist. Only now did Naizhenjue realize how terrifying the real elites of Daliao were.
The light cavalry looked at each other, clasped their fists, and then separated. Each team chose a direction and flew out. Their mission this time could not be said to be more dangerous. The brothers who died at the hands of the Khitan people at night had eaten the darkness.
Fortunately, the visibility is good on the grassland in broad daylight, and the enemy can be seen from a long distance away. What's more, the enemy's dazzling black clothes and black armor are particularly conspicuous in the snow.
At the speed of the light cavalry, the Khitan's heavy armored cavalry would never be able to catch up.
A group of cavalry galloped out in the direction of the rising sun. The winter sun shining on the white snow always has a different charm. But the cavalrymen felt as if there was a stone stuck in their hearts and couldn't breathe. Where could they find anything else?
I wanted to enjoy the picturesque scenery. The leading cavalry team took a sip and cursed bitterly: "Damn, you picked the wrong direction. Why is the sun so strong today? It's so bright that you can't open your eyes."
A cavalryman suddenly pointed ahead and exclaimed: "Avalanche!"
The team rolled their eyes at him and cursed: "Fuck you! This is a grassland, not a snow-capped mountain. How could there be an avalanche!"
The cavalryman smiled coquettishly, pointed to the front and said, "Maybe it's because the sun is shining brightly, but the snow in front of me seems to be moving, as if there's a big wave on the water."
The team was rubbing their eyes and looking carefully, and sure enough they found that the snow in front seemed different from usual. The white snow on the horizon in front seemed to be shaken by something, and it really looked like rolling waves. He thought he was dazzled.
, looked hard, and sure enough, the snow was rolling. What was going on?
"It's not the snow that's moving, it's the cavalry!"
A sharp-eyed Xixia soldier pointed forward and shouted.
The team member suddenly reined in his horse, raised his head to block the dazzling sunlight, and stared with wide eyes.
"Damn it! It's the cavalry! Hurry, go back!"
The team was tearing their necks and shouting.
The Xixia soldiers immediately turned their horses' heads. On the horizon was the churning white snow, which was clearly the Khitan cavalry wearing white robes! When they saw the true face of the other party, the distance between the two sides was already less than three hundred steps away.
A Xixia soldier turned his horse's head, slapped his mount as hard as he could, and ran back like crazy.
"Enemy attack! Khitan cavalry due east!"
They ran and shouted, trying to inform their companions in the camp as early as possible. (To be continued)
