Chapter 224 Reversal

The uniform sound of horseshoes alarmed both sides of the war, and the battlefield was stagnant.

"The leader of the flag is the Junhou. The Junhou came to reinforce us with his personal guard battalion." The soldiers of the first brigade were overjoyed.

On the contrary, the morale of the coalition army was dropped to freezing point, Shapojun and other lords were ashamed, muttering to themselves: "How could that be, how could the enemy's reinforcements arrive so quickly, this is impossible, impossible!"

The Qinwei Battalion set the record for the fastest march of the Shanhai County army. It took only two hours to cross 60 kilometers from Shanhai County to Daying in the west of the city.

Ouyang Shuo walked at the front of the team. After seeing the battle situation clearly, he led the personal guard battalion directly to charge towards the sword and shield positions of the coalition army without any hesitation or taking a break.

The Shapo Army did not give up, and made the last struggle. He ordered the sword and shield troops to give up covering up the enemy's heavy infantry, and to line up on the spot, erect their shields, and prepare to withstand the charge of the cavalry on the opposite side.

The guard battalion, the elite of the first division of Shanhai County, the sharp knives among the sharp knives, all equipped with bright light armor, riding green clam horses, equipped with a series of main battle equipment such as horse lances, Tang knives, and strong bows; The average rank has reached the terrifying eighth rank, and there are even elite soldiers of the tenth rank.

With such a strong army, who can stand in their way? ! The seemingly indestructible position of the sword and shield soldiers, like paper, was smashed by the guard battalion, from one end of the position to the other end on the opposite side, completely tearing the position in half. Driven by the huge inertia, the gleaming horse lance effortlessly pierced the armor of the sword and shield soldier, and blood splashed into the air, splashing bloody flowers. In the position of the sword and shield soldiers, a deserted vacuum appeared, a bloody road formed by the accumulation of countless corpses.

After the charge, the personal guards took back the horses, turned the horse's head, and unsheathed the carefully forged Tang knives one after another. They are warriors who have experienced many battles, and they ride the best and most spiritual horses. Before the enemy's sword and shield soldiers have reacted, the sword and shield soldiers' swords are still thinking about cutting the horse's leg. At that time, the guard's Tang Dao had already taken a step ahead of them, cutting off the enemy's head, and the dead were the least threatening.

The same tactic, the heavy infantry of the first brigade is very effective against the light cavalry of the coalition army; but the light infantry wants to use it against the heavy cavalry, it is tantamount to hitting a stone with a pebble.

The reinforcements from the Guard Battalion greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers of the first brigade; especially the leader of the Junhou Ouyang Shuo greatly boosted the morale. At this time, if you don't fight with all your strength, how can you be worthy of the Junhou.

The Chinese army, the remnants of the first and second battalions, led by Battalion Zheng Shihu and Shi Bao, began to concentrate on harvesting the trapped cavalry. The 4th Battalion, which was temporarily withdrawn from the front, broke into the central army under the order of Shi Wansui, the brigade commander, and assisted the 1st and 2nd Battalions to complete the strangling of the cavalry.

The personal guard battalion took over the line of defense and carried out division and encirclement tactics against the positions of the sword and shield soldiers of the coalition forces, leaving the sword and shield soldiers with no time to care about others but to protect themselves.

In the rear, the encirclement and suppression by the cavalry and archers of the third battalion is coming to an end. The sword and shield soldiers who came later were useless because the number was too small. Coupled with the low morale, they couldn't stop the third battalion from attacking, so they could only follow behind and eat ashes.

The coalition forces have a huge force, but they are divided piece by piece, unable to form a unified whole. At this time, the commander of the coalition forces, Sha Pojun, wanted to regroup the troops, but he was powerless.

The balance of victory began to tilt towards Shanhai County.

War is a huge test of the will of both sides. Especially the Guards Battalion, who had just gone through a rapid march, immediately went into battle, which was a huge test for the soldiers' physical fitness.

Persistence, only persistence can win.

...

On the eastern border of Shanhai County, a 2,000-strong army brazenly crossed the border and marched towards the hinterland of Shanhai County. They are another coalition formed by Duanren Town, Yishui Town and Gushan Town.

Out of some interest considerations, Ba Dao, the commander of the East Route Army, did not cooperate with the West Route Army to launch an attack on Shanhai County at the same time; Only then did he pretend to lead his troops into Shanhai County. From Ba Dao's point of view, the main force in Shanhai County has been pinned down by the West Route Army, and the East Route is already at ease.

Unfortunately, what Ba Dao didn't know was that the third brigade of the Shanhai County First Division, which had just been established, was currently carrying out bandit suppression missions along the border. The third brigade was handsome, and after receiving the early warning order from the base camp, he immediately dispatched a reconnaissance force to patrol the border area.

Therefore, as soon as the Eastern Allied Forces entered Shanhai County, less than half an hour later, they were discovered by scouts and reported the information to the brigade commander Elai.

Elai received the information, and smiled coldly: "An army of less than 2,000 people dared to invade Shanhai County swaggeringly. It's really reckless. Security doesn't take me seriously."

Elai immediately assembled his troops and laid an ambush on the enemy's only way. Elai knew that the third brigade had just been formed, and all of them were recruits. Especially the mountain barbarians of the first battalion and the second battalion have only been formed for five days. Not only are they not equipped with infantry armor, they have not even fought a tough battle.

Therefore, although the third brigade has an advantage in strength, it will not be so stupid as to confront the opponent head-on. At the same time, he also reported the information on the East Road to the base camp in a timely manner.

Ge Hongliang, the Director of Military Affairs in the base camp, first received the information from the camp in the east of the city, and then received the distress signal from the camp in the west of the city. After confirming that there was no movement on the grassland for the time being, Ge Hongliang decisively ordered the first battalion of the second brigade to rush to the west camp, the second battalion to rush to the east camp, and the third, fourth and fifth battalions to remain stationed at the north camp. , stand still and continue to monitor the grassland movements.

The second battalion's reinforcements made Elai more confident and swallowed up the Eastern Allied Forces in one go.

...

Just as the third brigade, under the leadership of brigade commander Elai, was preparing to set up an ambush for the Allied Forces on the East Road, the war outside the camp in the west of the city had entered a fierce stage.

The first to break the deadlock was the 3rd Battalion of the 1st Brigade, the vengeful knights, who resolutely defended the honor of the Shanhai County Army with Tang Dao, and launched a frenzied massacre against the Allied Archers. When more than half of the coalition's archers were slaughtered, the soldiers no longer had the courage to resist and fled one after another. Even the sword and shield soldiers who came to reinforce, led by the archers, gradually lost the courage to resist. Then scattered and fled.

Li Mingliang of the third battalion did not intend to let them go. The deserters scattered all over the mountains and plains. The cavalry chased after them, like chasing a group of prey that was dying, biting them tightly without letting go.

Shanhai County equipped every cavalry with a horn bow. The soldiers rode on the horses and continued to harvest the lives of the enemy mercilessly with the bows and arrows in their hands.

The arrows shot by the strong bow made a clear and audible sound of piercing through the air, like a life-and-death talisman, piercing the enemy's leather armor, piercing the flesh, spinning and shooting into the bones and internal organs, making a dull sound.

In the endless wilderness, there is no hiding place at all. The low weeds did not block the cavalry's sight at all. The cavalry were like a pack of hunting dogs, chasing their prey frantically.

There is nothing more frightening than watching one's companions fall one by one. The sharp arrows behind him, like a magician's tricks, are precise and continuous.

In the end, the deserters couldn't move anymore. The adrenaline secreted at high speed drained their last bit of energy. The soldiers were desperate, so they simply stopped and surrendered with their hands raised.

Surrender is like the plague, once it is detonated, it will be out of control.

Immediately after the third battalion came the first and second battalions. They are the ace troops of Shanhai County. They are equipped with the most advanced infantry armor. They come from various mountain tribes and are the bravest warriors in the tribe. Mountain barbarian warriors regard honor as their life and cannot be desecrated.

But today, because of the enemy's shameful sneak attack, the soldiers of the second battalion suffered an unimaginable defeat. If the first battalion hadn't arrived in time for reinforcements, the second battalion would have been defeated by the enemy.

The honor lost and the shame suffered can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy on the battlefield.

The soldiers of the first battalion and the second battalion were like brothers. They had a clear division of labor and cooperated tacitly. The two surrounded a knight, one was responsible for cutting off the horse's legs, and the other was responsible for killing the fallen knight.

The coalition cavalry have never encountered such a difficult bone since their birth.

It was like they plunged headlong into a quagmire made of iron barrels. No matter how they rushed left and right, all they encountered were iron giants. When the iron barrel started to run at a high speed according to a certain battle formation, it immediately turned into steel grinding discs, crushing them to death.

What's even worse is that there are a group of bastards with spears following behind to attack. These shameless spearmen, relying on the advantages of weapons, specialize in stabbing horses and not stabbing people, it is really hateful.

There is no need to look forward to any victory anymore. The cavalry trapped in the whirlpool just want to escape from the quagmire as soon as possible and escape from this nightmare land.

The cavalry wanted to escape, but the mountain barbarians were unwilling to let them go. Their bodies are not yet covered with the blood of the enemy; their feet are not yet covered with the corpses of the enemy. Not so, not enough to wash their shame; not so, not enough to defend their honor.

The soldiers wore infantry armor weighing nearly 30 kilograms. Such high-intensity fighting made them exhausted, but they didn't want to rest. They wanted to squeeze out the last drop of their potential and deal a fatal blow to these bastards. The Tang knives in their hands are still as sharp as pity; the shields they hold are still indestructible.

"Aw~~~" the barbarian warriors roared angrily. This was their death sentence for their prey when they were hunting in the tribe. Now, the target of sentencing has changed from tigers, leopards and wolves to enemy cavalry.

The roar spread across the wilderness, shaking people's hearts.
