Chapter 1462 Catch turtles
Luo Dingxi had no time to see Wu Kuan's fallen corpse. The screams from behind him made him look shocked and angry, but he saw the dense cavalry behind him, messing around with arrows.
At this time, he finally discovered that the buildings on both sides of the street, which were closed with doors and windows, were like large weapons standing in the city. Countless arrows were sprayed out like locusts between the doors and windows of the houses. Although the road was wide, it was crowded with cavalry. The Beishan cavalry could only wave their swords to resist the arrows shot from both sides. However, among the dense arrows, it was almost impossible to complete the time, and soldiers were caught from time to time.
Luo Dingxi was angry, but the soldiers were already confused.
This is completely different from the situation they imagined. They should be the ones who created the same tragic situation in hell, but now they are putting themselves in hell.
Luo Dingxi raised his saber and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill us, we are many people, they are no match for us, awaken your courage and kill them!"
Amid the shouts, he had already rushed towards the house on the left, and the arrows flew over in front of him, but Luo Dingxi waved his saber and opened the arrows flying towards him one by one.
He saw arrows flying from behind the window, and the fast horse rushed forward, shouted angrily, and was about to cut into the window. Suddenly, from the crack of the window, three long spears stabbed straight towards them like poisonous snakes. Luo Dingxi was shocked and waved his sword to resist, but he was not careful that one of the shots was stabbed hard at the war horse under his crotch. I don’t know whether it was because the gunman had good shooting skills or luck, the gun actually stabbed the left eye of the war horse. The spear tip pierced into it, and the war horse was already standing in front of his feet, and neighing sadly.
If it were someone who was not good at riding, the war horse would suddenly stand up and would definitely be able to drop the rider off the horse. Fortunately, Luo Dingxi was very skilled in horse racing. He clamped the horse's belly with his legs, grabbed the horse's reins, stabilized his body. When the war horse fell down his hooves, Luo Dingxi wanted to slash, but the war horse had turned around and left.
At this time, there were screams everywhere on a Nanhe Avenue, and there were also shouts of killing everywhere. Most of the cavalry could only wave their swords to resist and protect themselves. A small number of particularly brave cavalry rushed towards the houses on both sides. They knew that if they did not fight back, the other party would be fearless, and thousands of soldiers would probably be wiped out. Only by rushing over and fighting with the enemy at close range could it be possible to stop the locust-like arrows from shooting over.
After all, there are thousands of people who can fight to the death.
The cavalry rushed to the houses on both sides, the same distance as Luo Dingxi encountered, and the distance was farther away. The house was filled with arrows. Once they approached the doors and windows, a spear was stabbed out from the gaps. Some soldiers were caught off guard and were stabbed by the spear.
A few experienced brave men found a gap, jumped off the horse's back, broke through doors and windows, and rushed into the house. The house was dark, and there were not many cavalrymen who could get close to the house, and even less could get inside the house after getting close. However, even if they got inside the house, they would soon be stabbed into hedgehog by the ambushed spearmen in the house, or chopped into meat paste by the knife and axe.
What made the Beishan cavalry house the most was that after many cavalry fell off the horse, the war horses they sat down became wild horses. Amid the sound of gongs, these war horses were obviously frightened and ran around the streets, crowded with people, and horses hit horses, and the streets were in a mess. Some of the fallen horses were not shot into the vital points. When they thought about it, the war horses that broke off the horses ran around, and many people were trampled to death by the war horses.
"Get out of the city quickly, get out of the city, get out of the city..." Someone was already shouting in the team.
Thousands of people were crowded on the streets and could not form formations at all. The road ahead was blocked by tree barriers. The advantage of the cavalry was gone. When a large number of cavalry were crowded in a narrow area, it was undoubtedly a fatal disaster for the cavalry soldiers.
Luo Dingxi was at the forefront of the team and could not convey his orders to his cavalry soldiers in this state of chaos, especially the rear team, who were completely in chaos. Some soldiers were ambushed when they saw that they were immersed in an ambush and were ready to withdraw from the city without waiting for the orders from above. But what was fatal was that the Beishan cavalry could not achieve the unity of the orders at this moment. Some cavalry did not receive the orders and dared not withdraw from the city. They either stayed in place or squeezed forward and squeezed forward together with the cavalry who wanted to withdraw from the city.
When someone shouted and hurriedly left the city, the shouts spread all over the place. Countless soldiers shouted to leave the city. The cavalry of the rear team finally heard the screams in front of them, and they all turned around and wanted to leave the city. Because of the large number of people, although Luo Dingxi had reached the fork at the joint, the cavalry of the rear team was not far away from the city gate, and they could even see the city gate when they turned around.
When some of the cavalry turned their horses and wanted to quickly withdraw from the city, they were frightened to find that the dozen or so cavalrymen who were guarding the city gate were already corpses, and the city gate had been closed at some time.
This is no small matter. For the Beishan cavalry, if the rear route is broken, the cavalry who turned back without asking the above instructions, and also knew the importance of the city gate. They were already waving their sabers and rushing towards the city gate quickly. In any case, they had to open the city gate again.
"Swoosh swish swish!"
Then there was another scream, and the Beishan cavalry who rushed to the front were all dropped. The cavalry behind were surprised and suddenly felt a dazzling moment in front of them. Then they saw that the originally dim street suddenly became brighter. Someone shouted loudly: "Look, the city is on the top...!"
Without shouting, the cavalry had already seen it. On the head of the city that was originally dark and silent, countless torches were raised in an instant. A row of bowmen were bent down on the wall, and diligently and hardworkingly radiating arrows downwards. A group of people were densely packed on the head of the city. Under the fire, they were dressed and armored. A large flag had gathered high, fluttering in the wind, and the dragons and phoenixes were flying and embroidered with a big word "Chu" on it!
"Open the city gate and fight out of the city!" A general from the back team shouted loudly. The cavalry could only continue to rush towards the city gate. The arrows were endless on the top of the city. The cavalry under the city fell to the ground from time to time, but the impact of the cavalry was still unparalleled. Moreover, there were no Xiguan Army on the road leading to the city gate. So after losing dozens of people, some cavalry in Beishan rushed to the edge of the city gate. They quickly dismounted. Several soldiers quickly stepped forward and opened the city gate. The city gate opened little by little, and only opened a gap that could accommodate a cavalry out of the city. Some cavalry were already eager to rush out of the city.
The cavalry behind saw that the city gate was opened and was not willing to be outdone. Before the city gate was opened, they might have the final fighting spirit to fight to the death, but when the retreat appeared, the cavalry behind them no longer had the fighting spirit. Knowing that they had already hit the trap of the people of Xiguan, they naturally wanted to withdraw from Shuoquan City first.
The city gate was open, and more than ten cavalry had already rushed out of the city gate, as if they had rushed out of the gate of hell. They were relieved, but suddenly they heard another sound of arrows, and another arrow shot towards them. Several cavalrymen were immediately caught in the arrows. The moment they were falling off the horse, they looked forward with all their strength, but they couldn't figure out. There was an empty place in front, and there were arrows flying from where they flew. When they looked over, they vaguely saw that there were dense figures in front of them.
The cavalry following behind him could see clearly. At some point, outside the city gate, countless soldiers and horses were actually arranged in fan-shaped arrays, blocking their way.
Just look at these people, there were at least one or two thousand people. The cavalry who left the city were confused at this time. They really didn't understand. Luo Dingxi repeatedly claimed to everyone that there were only about two thousand defenders in Shuoquan City. If so, where did one or two thousand people appear outside the city?
The arrows like locusts in the city have shown that the number of Xiguan soldiers and horses ambushed in the buildings on both sides of the ten-mile long street is definitely quite large. At least there are thousands of people. There are hundreds of people above the city, and there are at least one or two thousand people. In addition, there are at least one or two thousand ambushed soldiers in the city. It should be that all Shuoquan defenders were ambushed on the side of the Nancheng, but where did the one or two thousand people outside the city come from? Could it be that Luo Dingxi is deceiving everyone?
The soldiers blocked outside the city were in front of the shield soldiers, and the shield soldiers were closely connected, forming a copper and iron wall. Behind the shield soldiers were archers, aiming at the cavalry rushing out of the city and shooting arrows continuously.
Moreover, the soldiers outside the city were obviously prepared for a long time. They were not far from the city gate, and the short distance could not allow the cavalry to effectively attack. Without a sprint distance, the impact power of the cavalry would be greatly reduced.
There were ten miles long streets, above the city gates, and outside the city gates, Xiguan troops seemed to be everywhere, and they were orderly and ruthless in their actions.
Although the cavalry who rushed out of the city saw that the outside of the city was blocked, they also knew that if they did not break out of the bloody road, they would have to be dumplings by the Xiguan army.
After all, he is a Northwest man. In adversity, the blood in his bones is also stimulated. The cavalry held the sabers tightly, roared, and rushed forward with arrows.
The shield soldiers were all burly men with a tiger's back and bear's waist. They knelt on one knee on the ground, as if they were ready to bear the impact of the war horse.
In the Xiguan army formation, a general had waved his sword and said in a deep voice: "Retreat the bow and arrow, and go up the spear!"
The archers behind the shield soldier had quickly retreated, and the spearmen behind him had already stepped forward with their spears. When the Beishan cavalry rushed over, the spears were like forests. From the shield, countless spears had already stabbed out like poisonous snakes. A Beishan cavalry was facing the attack of four or five spears. The cavalry did not have three heads and six arms, and often did not hit the shield, and the person was stabbed by the spear.
More and more cavalrymen came out of the city gate, and archers on the outer walls of the city walls were descending from a high point, aiming at the target and shooting downwards.
The general outside the city shouted again: "Enter!"
The shield soldiers squatting on the ground immediately stood up, and their formation was not messy, and they were approaching the city gate in an orderly manner. However, the spearmen behind them were ready at any time. Once a cavalry rushed forward, they would ruthlessly stab the spear in their hands at the enemy.
In the narrow area inside and outside the city gate, the powerful cavalry troops have no advantage. This kind of field is undoubtedly an extremely harsh environment for them. On the contrary, this kind of place is the best place to exert its combat effectiveness for skilled infantry.
Every time the infantry took a step forward, the space of the Beishan cavalry would be shortened by a minute and the power would be reduced by a minute. The cavalry inside the city had no idea what was going on outside the city. Seeing that their companions had begun to retreat outside the city, countless cavalry rushed towards the city gate like a torrent. Below the city gate, they were already crowded. Many cavalry finally squeezed out of the city and saw a scene that made them dumbfounded. Under the light of the fire at the top of the city, they saw a fan-shaped military formation pressing towards them step by step, which made many of them feel breathless.
