I’m The King

Chapter 675: : The wind and snow keeps the sky and the blade is cold (27)

The blizzard that had been raging for several days finally condensed its hideous face. The snow on the ground was thicker than a foot, but the wind was still very strong, cutting the bare skin of a person like a small knife. In the vast snowy field, one The army trudged through it with difficulty. The new snow had not yet frozen solid. As soon as the horses' hoofs stepped on, they sank deeply. This made the horses a little difficult to move. In order to save horsepower, all the Donghu cavalry were dismounted and led the horses. , Deep foot and shallow foot in the snow hard forward. ()

For three days in a row, they had not slept a full sleep, the horrible army of the East, wandering around them like ghosts, every night, there will be several harassment, Yan Qi wholeheartedly guarded, and even put a trap to lure each other to the bait, The other party is like a fish, slippery and blind, and once they ignore it and relax their vigilance, they will suddenly appear around, whizzing out, swept away some of the Donghu cavalry exposed outside, and then disappeared again. .

In three days, Yan Qi lost more than a hundred manpower. Compared with the cavalry of five thousand men, the loss of more than one hundred men was nothing, but it was a fatal blow to the morale of the soldiers.

Physical strength, mental strength, spirit, morale, this army has now fallen to its lowest point.

What’s more serious is that the advancing speed of the East Hu cavalry has been reduced to the lowest level due to the surrounding expeditionary troops. They have walked less than two hundred miles in three days. At this speed, the food they bring will be far away. Far from being able to get them to their destination.

Yan Qi desperately needs to find a high-level main force to fight him to the death. He already knew very well that since the opponent had already approached him and Gao Yuan personally led the team, then this battle would be inevitable. Since he couldn't get rid of it, it would be better to fight late than fight early. The sooner you are, the better you are.

But will the opponent let him do what he wants? They can still hold on to a decisive battle with themselves after a few more days, which is obviously more advantageous to him.

Pulling his feet out of the snow, Yan Qi was helpless and anxious. Only by defeating the opponent can he escape safely. This is his only chance now. If he waits for the defeat of Qutu Agu Da and the lofty steppers also catch up, then he will really have no way to go to the sky and no way into the ground. Up.

"General!" A palace guard suddenly yelled. Pointing to the front, "It's them, they are here!"

Yan Qi shook his whole body and suddenly raised his head. At the end of his vision, he saw the red clouds unfolding layer by layer. After the red clouds spread out, beside them, the opposite black was unfolded. The number of people is only about half of the number in red. After them, a team of cavalry in navy blue uniforms appeared one by one in their field of vision.

Yan Qi took a deep breath and finally came, much better than the worst result he had expected. It seemed that Gao Yuan was still too young. He thought that three days of harassment would make the palace guards lose their combat effectiveness, so he wanted to end this hunting game as soon as possible, but the palace guards were never prey. They will always be hunters, even if they have fallen to this point now, they can't be bullied casually.

The number of each other is similar to them. Since the Zhengdong Army does not have any superiority over its military strength, Yan Qi has the certainty that it will win.

"Throw away all the weights, remove your armor, and only bring your weapons to kill the enemy, and reduce your own weight as much as possible." Yan Qi took the lead, took off his armor, and carried only a bow, a pot of arrows, and a machete. Leading the horse, walked forward slowly. Behind him, all the palace guards silently followed their leader and did the same movement, pressing forward silently.

In the army of the East Army, Shangguan Hong watched the palace guards still remained calm even in this situation, and couldn't help but say: "It is said that the East Hu palace guards are invincible in the world, and they are really invincible under the prestige. It’s really commendable that you can still maintain your fighting spirit."

"Otherwise you think Donghu King's court can suppress all Donghu tribes with a 30,000 palace guards on what grounds?" Gao Yuan smiled.

"Why don't you toss them for two days before doing it again?" He Lanyan asked in a puzzled manner next to Gao Yuan: "In another two days, I'm afraid they won't have enough strength to climb the horse."

"In two days, they will still be the same as they are now. Now, it is best for us." Gao Yuan smiled and pointed to the fluffy snow in front of him, "Don't you understand?"

He Lanyan frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, "The snow has not yet frozen solid. Such a fluffy snow field limits the speed of the horses. Donghu Palace Guards have excellent equestrian skills. However, under such geographical conditions, I am afraid that they will ride. The horse is not much faster than the pace of pawns."

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "That's it. On our side, apart from the Red Guards who can compete with them in terms of individual soldiers, the others are really inferior to them, but under these conditions, everyone They are all pawns riding horses, ha, then everyone is almost on the same level. Dealing with a group of guys who haven't rested for a few days, at least we have the advantage in physical strength."

"Besides these, we have some other surprises waiting for them." On the one hand, Guo Lao Ling smiled yinly, "Since we are waiting for them here in advance, of course there are some small arrangements."

On the opposite side, the Donghu Palace guards had turned on their horses and removed all the load. The pace of their horses really seemed a lot lighter. His horses themselves were excellent horses selected by the best. Although they were stepping on the fluffy snow at this time, Still able to run hard.

The Zhengdong Army still did not accelerate, but slowly smashed the horses, moving forward slightly, a large swath of sharp swords raised high, the blades shining brightly.

"Accelerate!" The forward of the palace guard screamed. There are still five hundred steps away from the opponent. Although it is still a bit far from the standard sprint distance, considering the fluffy snow underfoot, the distance required for the horse to accelerate must also be required. Longer.

Four hundred paces, three hundred paces, the quality of Donghu Liangju showed vividly at this moment. Even in such a harsh environment, they still ran strenuously. Although the sprint speed is far from the normal speed, it is better than the normal speed. From a normal war horse, you still have to get a little faster.

The East Army is still moving forward slowly, and has no intention of speeding up at all.

Yan Qi suddenly felt uneasy. This is unreasonable. Gao Yuan is a general of the State of Yan who has been fighting with Donghu for a long time. He is very familiar with the art of commanding cavalry, and his men are filled with a large number of Huns cavalry. These people are more familiar with cavalry warfare. The familiarity of the people, this distance, this environment, they still don’t charge, doesn’t it mean that they want to be slaughtered?

This is impossible.

It seems to be confirming his thoughts. The Donghu cavalry who charged ahead were in chaos at the moment his thoughts flashed. On the snowy ground, black shadows suddenly bounced up, and they were nailed together one by one. The stake suddenly bounced from the snow, pressing down like a wall towards the cavalry who charged, and the Donghu cavalry in the front was photographed from the horse.

The wood cut down by the Eastern Expeditionary Army was nailed together in grass and grass, and then buried under the snow. A stone was placed in the middle section, which was like a seesaw. The heavy horseshoe stepped on this side of the seesaw. The impact force immediately made the other end bounce back, and slapped these Donghu soldiers in front of him.

The front is chaotic, but the ones behind are still charging forward. When they avoid the chaotic area in the front, these weird seesaws are still waiting for them, but this time, in addition to these things, they are also added. On the tripping horse rope, sprinkled with iron brier.

As the Donghu soldiers fell, Yan Qi's face was hard to see the extreme, and at this time, the Zhengdong army finally began to tighten.

The first to accelerate the charge is not the red guard at the front, but the black guard at their side.They are not fast, but the entire formation is extremely tight.People and people, horses and horses, are almost squeezed together, following. He Lanyan has been running around for these days, and they have mastered this formation thoroughly.

"Arrow!" Yan Qi roared loudly.

The palace guards immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the sound of morpholine rang into a piece, and the air was like a dark cloud suddenly covered. The black guards screamed almost simultaneously, their spears pointed to the sky, and desperately shook the long in their hands. The spears clinked loudly above their heads.A large number of arrows were in this spear forest, and they had little effect, except for a handful of them that got into the team along the gap, causing a limited number of casualties.

The riding bow itself is soft, and coupled with the excellent armor equipped by the East Army for the cavalry, as long as it does not hit the key, it is difficult to kill with one arrow. On the battlefield, you can often see some people with zero fragility. There are dozens of feather arrows hanging crisply, but they are still fighting like dragons and tigers.

Arrows, after all, are not crossbows, they don't have such a strong force.

The two armies quickly approached, and the bow and arrow had lost its effect.The Donghu people put away the bow and drew the scimitar, but at this time, the black guards drew the crossbow from the saddle.

The crossbow has a short range and cannot attack far, but the two sides are already within a few dozen steps at this time. It is the place where the crossbow is used. The sound of the crossbow is heard again, and the East Hu army has taken off the armor, and there is almost no defense. The strength, their scimitars, is not enough to block this kind of crossbow arrows that are shot at close range.

As the Donghu people fell, Donghu's horse team became a little sparse, and the black guards, like a black axe, smashed in.

Their speed is very slow, but the problem is that in each of their strikes, dozens or even dozens of people shoot spears at the same time. Without speed, they can't show their exquisite horse skills. The powerful Donghu Guards are also at this time. Not much faster than the speed of the infantry, under this powerful stab, the Donghu people wailed and fell to the horse.

"Kill!" Gao Yuan raised his Modao and roared.

"Expedition to the Eastern Army, Wan Sheng!"

With the roar, Shangguanhong rushed up with the red guard, Gongsunyi and Luo Lei rushed up with their subordinates. (To be continued~www.wuxiaspot.com~ When going out, just go to the mobile version.
