Chapter 285, Shanhaiguan Battle (3)

Bai Yutang and Cook met the swan guerrilla soldier who returned to the Condor to receive the news on the way. When they learned that someone was fighting in Shanhaiguan, they immediately realized that something was wrong.

After a brief discussion, the two immediately decided to march urgently, and they must arrive there before Shanhaiguan was completely occupied by other forces.

Bai Yutang and the other two knew very well that they had to race against time at this time, so they no longer stingy with horsepower and directly raised the horse speed to the fastest.

One kilometer away from Shanhaiguan, they had already seen the battle at the city gate.

While glad that he was not late, the two of them did not dare to delay at all and directly led the cavalry to kill him.

"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived. For the sake of the Condor Empire, let us launch our last charge and kill."

"kill."

Although Harrell did not look back, just listening to the sound of horse hooves, he already knew that reinforcements were not far from here.

Considering that reinforcements were cavalry and they needed space to sprint, he launched his last charge very decisively, trying to gain this space and time for reinforcements.

"Quick, the archer goes up to the city wall, let the infantry push me up, and suppress the enemy into the city gate."

Ji Wushuang also heard the sound of horse hooves. After hearing the sound of horse hooves, he suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart, but he quickly suppressed this feeling because he knew that he must calm down at this time.

The city gate of Shanhaiguan is twenty meters wide and can only accommodate more than a dozen riders in parallel.

Considering that Harrell and others may not have supported him for a long time, Bai Yutang did not dare to be careless at this time. In order to achieve the battle, he directly led his personal guard to rush to the front.

Although the 100,000 army was overwhelming, the only passage was only twenty meters. Therefore, although Bai Yutang and the others arrived in time, it was still unknown whether they could capture the city.

At this time, the city gate guarded by Harrell and others became a key point in deciding the outcome of the war.

After learning that reinforcements had arrived, the exhausted angel warriors once again burst out with terrifying combat power. They seemed to be reviving and became energetic again.

Faced with the angel warriors who became crazy again, the enemy in the city was not to be outdone. They waved their weapons and rushed into the angel warriors, trying to suppress the angel warriors into the city gate with their number advantage.

Although they are all infantry, they also know the power of the cavalry charging, so at this moment, they must block the enemy in the city gate and use the narrow space inside to limit the speed of the cavalry.

Both sides of the enemy and us thought well, but they ignored one point, that is, a distance of one kilometer is just a matter of a moment for the cavalry.

When the angel warriors and the enemy collided again, Bai Yutang had already led the vanguard to the city gate.

"Everyone in front is getting out of the way."

After successfully avoiding the rain of arrows shot from the city wall, Bai Yutang rushed into the city gate first.

After hearing the shouts from behind, the angel warriors immediately dodged to both sides. At this time, they no longer had to worry about killing the enemy, because if they did not dodge, they would probably be killed by their own cavalry.

Although they are not afraid of dying on the battlefield, they are unwilling to die cowardly under their own hands. Moreover, the cavalry has rushed in and their mission has ended, so it is better to just take this opportunity to hand over the baton.

For a long time, when people talk about charging into battle, the first thing they think of is heavy cavalry, because heavy cavalry was born specifically for this.

People will instinctively ignore the light cavalry, but they do not know that the light cavalry is not much worse than the heavy cavalry when launching a charge, because they rely on war horses under their crotch.

Wearing war horses with armor is just to protect their safety and allow them to ignore the enemy's long-range firepower attacks. In fact, their impact has nothing to do with whether they are wearing armor or not.

The angel warriors had just hid to both sides, and Bai Yutang and his personal guards arrived.

With screams, the enemies who had not had time to avoid were knocked away by the high-speed charge.

Although the roads in Shanhaiguan are very spacious, they can only accommodate dozens of cavalry running side by side, so Bai Yutang and others dare not delay any delay, and regardless of whether all the enemies beside them were killed, they went straight away because they wanted to make room for the cavalry behind them.

"Quickly, order all troops to go up to the city walls and let the soldiers fight on buildings."

After seeing the enemy cavalry rushing into the city continuously, Ji Wushuang immediately made a new response.

Although the sprinting cavalry is invincible, don’t forget that they are inside the city, and the enemy’s cavalry can be unscrupulous on some wide streets, but in other places with complex terrain, they are out of reach.

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Ji Wushuang had just asked the army to retreat to the city wall, and a scream came from the city behind him.

"Master, there are elves of archers everywhere under the city walls, and our archers can't shoot them."

"Give up this wall, and everyone will follow me to retreat to the south."

The human archers' shooting skills are naturally inferior to those of the elf archers. In addition, the archers under his command are all part-time jobs, so Ji Wushuang had no choice but to give up this section of the city wall and lead the army to the southern city area with complex terrain.

Seeing the enemy retreating to the Nancheng District, Bai Yutang did not choose to pursue him. He first led his men to seize the city gate in the southwest direction, and then led the cavalry to completely isolate the enemy in the Nancheng District.

After the enemy gave up on fighting, Cook soon led a team of elves archers into Shanhaiguan.

After finding Bai Yutang, Cook asked about the specific situation of the battle, and then asked: "General Bai, now the enemy retreats to the complex terrain of the South City, and it is obviously preparing to defend and wait for reinforcements. I wonder what do you think about this?"

"The enemy is all infantry. They rushed to Shanhaiguan before us, which means that their territory is closer to here, so their reinforcements should arrive before us.

However, we have 100,000 people here. Although they are all cavalrymen, there is no problem in dismounting and defending the city.

Moreover, the elves of your archers and cavalrymen under General Cook are the most suitable troops to defend the city after getting off the war horses, so I think we should trap the enemy, then hold on to the city, and wait for the lord to arrive."

After hearing Cook's inquiry, Bai Yutang analyzed the current situation in detail.

"General Bai's words make sense. Although the enemy is exhausted now, after we marched along the way, the soldiers were also trapped in the army. It is difficult to get any benefits in the past forcing them to attack.

But when it comes to defending the city, I don’t think we should defend the city.

Since the enemy came here all infantry, I guess there should be no cavalry in their territory, otherwise they would definitely use cavalry to rush over to support them.

The army of our two people has a total of 100,000 people. It is enough to trap the enemy with 50,000 or 60,000 people. So I want to lead 20,000 elves and 20,000 light cavalrymen to go out of the city to block the enemy. In this way, we can buy more time for the lord's army.

General Bai, what do you think about this?"
