Chapter 225 Ambush
Sha Pojun felt like he was having a nightmare, and he really wanted to wake up from the nightmare as soon as possible.
When Dichen told him that he had the opportunity to plot against Qiyue Wuyi, Sha Pojun was so ecstatic. Sha Pojun couldn't forget how Qiyue Wuyi humiliated him in public during the Zhuolu battle, saying that he was just a dog under Dichen's subordinates. Such humiliation was even more uncomfortable than killing him.
What is more miserable than being scolded by others is that you are speechless when you are scolded by others, and you are speechless when you are scolded to the point. Sha Pojun suffered such humiliation.
Hatred can make a person lose his mind, and Sha Pojun has undoubtedly been coerced by hatred.
Sha Pojun didn't even think about why Dichen didn't do it himself, but wanted to find him; he didn't even discuss with the family, and directly took the two thousand elites from the territory, and sent them to Yongye Town neatly.
He wants to embark on a journey of vengeance and burn his vengeful soul!
At the beginning, the battle situation was so smooth. They lurked all the way, lurking day and night, and they were not found when they reached the enemy camp. Even if there are some small accidents, the battle situation is still favorable.
The coalition forces rushed into the enemy camp smoothly, killing wantonly. Seeing the soldiers of Shanhai County fall one by one in a pool of blood, at that time, how fun and pleasant it was to kill the army.
Sha Pojun had even begun to fantasize that after the garrison in the camp was wiped out, maybe he could lead the coalition forces to continue to attack the base camp in Shanhai County, and let Qi Ri Wuyi prostrate at his feet. That's right, that's how it should be, let Qiri Wuyi beg for mercy, and let him know who is the bitch.
However, since when did the battle situation begin to reverse?
The speed at which the enemy troops assembled was beyond the imagination of the coalition forces. The individual strength of the enemy is also much stronger than the coalition command previously estimated. Those nasty savages didn't even wear armor, and they could still fight against the elite soldiers of the coalition army.
Victory is so short-lived that the killing is unsustainable. When the enemy's heavy infantry converged, the Shapojun knew that the stage of taking advantage was over. Next, it will be a tough battle.
Even at this time, the Shapo Army still believed that they had a certain chance of winning, because after the attack on the camp, the strength of the coalition forces was already twice that of the enemy. As long as they were commanded properly, there was no reason for them to fail.
The Shapo Army commanded the coalition forces, set up battles outside the camp, and took the initiative to attack the enemy. For this reason, Sha Pojun did not hesitate to put the elite cavalry he brought with him at the front of the line, acting as sharp knives.
It's a pity that the toughness of the enemy's heavy infantry regiment gave Shapojun a resounding slap in the face. Shanhai County spared no expense to build the Iron Armored Legion, which can be shaken by light cavalry.
Next, the surprise attack of the enemy cavalry battalion dealt another heavy blow to the Shapo Army.
Sha Pojun was not discouraged, he still firmly believed that victory would eventually belong to him. He calmed down, boosted morale, and commanded decisively. While ordering part of the sword and shield soldiers to return to defense, he ordered the remaining sword and shield troops to continue to move forward, trying to forcefully eat the enemy's heavy infantry regiment.
Seeing that the victory is in sight, but, unexpectedly, the devil Wuyi broke in with a frightening heavy cavalry at a critical moment. With only 500 heavy cavalry, the enemy contained three or four times the main force of the coalition army, and divided the sword and shield troops so that there was no time for others.
Next, there will be the nightmare of Sha Pojun.
First the allied archers were completely defeated, fled in all directions, and finally surrendered shamefully. Immediately afterwards, the cavalry unit that the Shapo Army was proud of was also eaten up by the enemy's steel monsters, leaving only one or two hundred lucky ones who broke through the defense line and escaped.
In the end, there was the total collapse of the coalition forces.
Facing the two-sided attack of the enemy's heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, the sword and shield troops that had been struggling to support finally collapsed completely and surrendered neatly. The soldiers knew very well that these infantry could not escape the pursuit of the enemy cavalry at all, and the escaped archer troops were the best evidence.
The lords had long since despaired, and immediately fled with their personal guards after the cavalry was wiped out. All their courage and faith were completely destroyed in this battle, and nothing remained.
They gambled everything, but in the end they were wiped out.
The lords were so frightened that they even forgot to report the battle situation on their side to the Eastern Allied Forces who were still marching on the alliance channel, which directly led to the latter being successfully ambushed by the third brigade.
Sha Pojun was about to despise these bastards who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but when he turned his head, he realized that he was also a member of the fleeing army. The escaped cavalry found their lord and fled towards Yongye Town together.
Ouyang Shuo was undoubtedly angry, he raised the Gu for more than half a year, but unexpectedly, he was bitten by the Gu insect in the end. He never thought about letting these lords return to the territory alive.
When Ouyang Shuo saw the Shapo Army appearing in the coalition, he knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between himself and the Yanhuang League, either you die or I live.
Ouyang Shuo asked Shi Wansui to stay and take charge of recruiting prisoners, treating the wounded and repairing the camp. He took the personal guard battalion and the third battalion of the first brigade by himself, and continued to pursue the enemy.
*************
In the eastern outskirts of Yushui County, about fifteen kilometers from the border, there is a hill with no shrubs or weeds on it. This is the ambush location chosen by Elai. All the soldiers of the third brigade, plus the second battalion of the second brigade who came to reinforce them, all lay in ambush behind the hillside, waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Ba Dao, the lord of Duan Ren Town, led two thousand coalition troops, and encountered no obstacles along the way. From time to time, one or two battalions of bandits can be encountered. Facing the mighty army, the rogues rationally chose to be cowards, hiding in the rogue camp, not daring to show their faces.
Because the road was unimpeded, Ba Dao began to relax his vigilance, and did not even arrange for the forward troops to explore the way.
"Brother Dao, don't you think it's strange? We've been walking for so long, why didn't a single patrolling soldier from Shanhai County see it, could it be fraud?"
Ba Dao shook his head, "You are worrying too much. Have you noticed that there are bandit camps in this area. What does it mean? It means that Shanhai County has not had time to clean up this area, so naturally no patrol soldiers have been arranged, or else they will be watched by bandits. Come on, isn't that just delivering food to them?" Ba Dao's explanation can be justified.
When he came to the stage to pay homage to the general, he thought about it, so he stopped thinking about it.
Behind the hillside, Liao Kai, the commander of the third battalion of the third brigade, approached Elai: "Brigade Commander, they are here!"
Elai rode the domineering Nian Beast Rakshasa, and said in a deep voice, "Get ready to move!"
"Here!"
When the eastern allied forces marched to the middle of the hillside, two cavalry battalions with a total of one thousand cavalry, like a group of prairie ghosts, suddenly appeared on the top of the hill, and swooped down the hillside without the slightest hesitation.
Immediately after the cavalry came the archer battalion of the third brigade. They established a temporary position on the top of the mountain and rained arrows on the coalition forces down the mountain to suppress the coalition archers and provide fire suppression for the cavalry charge.
The rain of arrows drew graceful arcs from a high place, and landed precisely on the area of the coalition archers. When the arrow reached the top of the soldier's head, it fell vertically, as if falling from the sky, pierced the air, let out bursts of sharp whistle, and sank into the top of the enemy's head or shoulder. Those who were shot in the head were naturally killed immediately. The lucky one who was shot in the shoulder screamed in pain and could not lift his arm at all. If he was not treated in time, he might be permanently disabled.
The sudden attack caught the coalition forces by surprise. They never expected that they would be attacked at this time and at this place.
Ba Dao was shocked, and shouted in a panic: "Arrange, quickly." The sword and shield troops of the Chinese army turned around in a panic, preparing to turn to the flanks to form a line of defense for the troops.
It was too late for everything, before the sword and shield soldiers of the coalition army changed their formation and the shields of the soldiers hadn't been erected yet, the cavalry had already taken advantage of the acceleration inertia of the downhill to rush down towards a hurricane.
The high-speed charging cavalry unit stretched out a long front, covering the sky and covering the sky, and immediately smashed the coalition formation into pieces. The soldiers in front were forced to retreat, while the soldiers in the back were still following the commander's order to form an array, and rushed forward. The two armies clashed with each other, and you pushed each other, making the army formation more chaotic.
At this moment, the 1st Battalion, 2nd Battalion, and 4th Battalion of the 3rd Brigade took a turn from behind the hillside, appeared behind the coalition forces, and kicked the coalition forces in the ass.
Mountain barbarians cooperate with spearmen to attack the enemy. The chaotic coalition forces couldn't coordinate at all, and the command system was completely ineffective. The soldiers fought on their own, fell into the enemy's encirclement, and finally became alone. In contrast to the third brigade, the battle formation was uniform, the soldiers advanced and retreated well, and the killing was decisive. Coupled with the interspersed coordination of the cavalry, they quickly took the initiative on the battlefield and suppressed the enemy.
The cavalry of the coalition army, originally at the forefront of the team, was useless at this time. Go forward, there is no one in front; go back, and you will be blocked by sword and shield soldiers again. Suddenly, the cavalry commander had an idea and commanded the troops to rush up the mountain, preparing to kill the archer battalion on the mountain.
It is easy to go down the mountain, but difficult to go up the mountain. The archer battalion on the top of the mountain is not afraid, aiming at the cavalry is a series of salvos. The battalion of archers is in command, ordering the soldiers to shoot the horses. The horse that was shot fell to the ground in pain, lying across the marching route of the cavalry, affecting the march of the cavalry behind.
In a short period of uphill, the archers shot three waves of arrows, and the cavalry suffered heavy losses. Of the five hundred cavalry, there were less than two hundred left. The cavalry rushed up the hill with difficulty, and when they were about to reap the fruits of victory, suddenly a fierce general riding a ferocious beast covered with dark green scales appeared in front of the archer battalion.
