Chapter 22 Charge
If you want to charge into battle, you must first have a war horse.
When the Dragon and Phoenix Army left the city, not all soldiers rode on war horses.
Because if this is the case, the bait for the war horses will be a big problem.
Even if alfalfa can be found under the snow, it will never be able to support the food consumption of thousands of war horses.
In fact, among the dragon and phoenix troops who followed Lu Qingshan out of the city, there were only more than three hundred people riding war horses.
Now, these more than three hundred people riding war horses will be the main force in the battle.
"The horseless people retreat a hundred miles and wait for three days. If they don't see us coming back after three days, they will return to Tiecheng and report the situation here..." Lu Qingshan was making the final arrangements.
Eggs cannot be put in the same basket, so this backhand must be arranged.
"The rest of you, get ready and follow me to charge into the formation and break through!" Lu Qingshan said seriously.
............
Among the White Walkers gathered on the Beehive Plain, some were wiping the ice crystal swords in their hands, and some were holding their pale dead horses, looking for fodder under the thick snow.
In the north, there is a special kind of alfalfa that can grow in extremely cold environments and grows extremely vigorously.
This alfalfa is the main food for the war horses of the North, and the pale dead horses of the White Walkers also feed on it.
All in all, the White Walkers on the plains looked very relaxed and casual.
Although this ease will soon be broken.
It was night, and the full moon hung in the sky, extremely huge.
Under the bright moonlight, everyone's shadows were stretched out on the snow.
Extremely abrupt.
The sound of neat horse hooves sounded.
The entire dead plain was like a hot iron that had been heated to a small corner, and commotion and turmoil spread rapidly.
The leisurely White Walkers looked up one after another and saw hundreds of figures riding black-maned horses on the hillside leading to the human territory, rushing down condescendingly.
Behind the figure, snow was blown up.
The rolling snow is like a snow dragon.
The snow dragon formed by the team became larger and larger.
Lu Qingshan was wearing silver armor that almost blended in with the snow, with a war horse slung on his thigh. As usual, he was at the front, making him particularly eye-catching.
This set of silver armor was a reward he received when he once again achieved great military exploits a year after arriving in Iron City. It was made of meteorites from outside the sky and was extremely hard and extremely light.
The other officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Army also put on armor, clamped their legs tightly on the saddles, and rushed down the slope following Lu Qingshan.
There were white ghosts wandering on both sides of the plain. Some of them reacted and quickly got on their horses and pounced towards Lu Qingshan. However, they were gradually pulled away by the dragon and phoenix troops who had already accelerated.
The only thing that can stop the Dragon and Phoenix Army is the White Walkers in front of their charge.
The reaction speed of the White Walkers was also extremely fast. Not far in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Army, hundreds of White Walkers immediately formed, and the ice crystal swords shone with a dazzling cold light.
Poof!
Lu Qingshan took the lead, and the tip of the dragon bird's sword swiped across the face of a strange ghost blocking the way.
Blood splatters.
The description of the White Walkers is extremely grim.
Viewed from the sky, it looks like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into the group of White Walkers and constantly moving forward.
The large swathes of White Walkers were like fallen wheat, lying crookedly on both sides, and it was horrible to see.
After a short period of commotion and turmoil among the White Walkers, in front of the charging path of the Dragon and Phoenix Army, hundreds of White Walkers quickly gathered under the control of a White Walker leader and mounted their horses.
The pale dead horse snorted, both dead and alive.
These hundreds of strange ghosts also used the force of a cavalry army to confront the Dragon and Phoenix Army led by Lu Qingshan.
The distance between the horses on both sides is getting closer and closer.
The leader of the White Walker Cavalry, the White Walker Commander, raised his ice crystal sword high.
The White Walkers behind him followed the leader and drew their swords.
Under the moonlight, the ice crystal sword shone with a breathtaking light.
The teams from both sides charged together, like two long swords approaching rapidly on the plain as white as paper.
Horse hooves are like thunder!
The cold wind howls!
Lu Qingshan is still leading the way.
Under the bright full moon, a war horse with disheveled mane collided with a dead horse that was as pale as a dead thing. The blue ice crystal sword clashed with the blazing red dragon bird. The sound was clear and fierce, crystal clear. The cold air and brilliant flames flew out and spread out in the moonlight.
The leader of the White Walkers in front of him let out a dull breath.
Two war horses and two long swords crisscrossed each other rapidly in the night.
A pair of eyes are bright and bright, and a pair of eyes are cold and dead, with a blaze of red and a ray of blue reflected in the pupils.
The picture seems to be frozen at this moment.
Then, the next moment, the plains were stained with blood.
A terrifying gap appeared in the neck of the menacing White Walker leader, and blue blood spurted out, flying in the air, as if stained on the big moon in the sky.
The leader of the White Walkers just fell on his horse.
The horse running at high speed under his crotch knelt on its front hooves, and was pulled upside down by the huge inertia, flipping over a long way.
Lu Qingshan roared loudly, clamped his legs and rushed straight into the group of White Walker cavalry.
The swimming dragon bird slashes in all directions, and is as unstoppable as a tiger entering a flock of sheep.
Like a sharp knife cutting through butter, he led the troops behind him and was invincible.
"Charge!" Lu Qingshan's eyes were like fire, and his words were full of scorn. Gu Lu
The Dragon Phoenix Army was infected by Lu Qingshan. There were only three hundred people in the group, but they fought with the momentum of thousands of troops.
.......
The heavy horse's hooves made a deep depression in the snow.
Everyone's armor was stained with blue blood.
Lu Qingshan's body was particularly stained with blood, and his silver armor almost turned blue.
His dragon bird sword was also dripping with blood.
However, Lu Qingshan just moved in his heart, and the flames on the red sword flashed away, evaporating all the blood.
His eyes were still bright and bright.
The entire charging team formed a cone shape, with Lu Qingshan leading the charge.
The spearhead is the most important position for charging into the formation.
The attacker must be strong enough to penetrate the enemy camp.
Otherwise, in this kind of high-speed combat, once there is a moment of decline, it would be impossible to build up the momentum of charge again.
Once it stops, as time goes by, more and more White Walkers will surround them, and everyone will be in dire straits.
Simply, Lu Qingshan’s arrow was sharp enough.
But even so, the officers and soldiers of the Dragon and Phoenix Army at the end of the team and on both wings were under great pressure and surrounded by dangers.
The strength of the White Walkers is terrifying, better than that of ordinary people, and their equipment is even better.
The only advantage of the Dragon and Phoenix Army was the powerful collision force brought by the high enough speed and Lu Qingshan's ability to penetrate the enemy's formation.
The problem now is that the distance is too long and the number of White Walkers is too large.
People get tired
Not only the people, but even the war horses felt exhausted after all this torment, and their breathing became heavy. The mist exhaled from the nostrils rose and filled the air in the cold night, which was really beautiful.
The consequence of fatigue is that more and more people begin to fall behind.
The original team of more than 300 people now has only about 70 people left, and these 70 people are more or less injured.
For the entire rushing team, if the attacking position is the most important, then the second most important position is to break the back.
This position is held by Gu Tianyan, who is second only to Lu Qingshan in martial arts in the Dragon and Phoenix Army.
As Lu Qingshan penetrated the enemy camp, the enemies in front had disappeared, leaving only the pursuers in the rear, and the pressure on Gu Tianyan increased.
In addition, his physical strength is gradually approaching the limit, and the situation becomes increasingly difficult and dangerous.
At this moment, Gu Tianyan was surrounded by four or five strange ghosts. He held a bloody spear in his right hand and knocked the oncoming ice crystal sword. The violent shock force from the collision caused blood to flow from his nostrils.
His arm wielding the weapon was already sore and numb, and the veins on his neck popped out.
In fact, by this point, he had reacted mechanically based entirely on his own willpower.
However, Gu Tianyan also knew that he would not be able to hold on for long.
Sure enough, he narrowly escaped the blows of the White Walker's sword by turning sideways.
But the long sword came down smoothly and directly split his horse in half.
The warm horse blood splashed on Gu Tianyan's face. Compared to the cold blood of the White Walkers, it even felt very comfortable.
But Gu Tianyan's heart felt like falling into an ice cave.
In such an environment surrounded by enemies, once the horse is gone, one can imagine what the outcome will be.
Ten deaths and no life.
But what Gu Tianyan didn't expect was that Lu Qingshan would turn his horse back at this moment.
Lu Qingshan shouted for the others to move forward, but he urged the horses under his crotches, turned around, and rushed towards Gu Tianyan who was trapped in the encirclement.
Here, Gu Tianyan's pupils reflected strands of cold light.
It was the ice crystal sword of the White Walkers, striking at him from a high position.
Gu Tianyan roared angrily, and with the last remaining courage, he swept away the four or five long swords with one sweep of his spear.
At the right time, Lu Qingshan had already arrived.
His dragon jumped like a dragon, piercing the White Walker's eyes cunningly.
The ghost's head exploded directly.
Lu Qingshan's speed did not slow down, his momentum was fierce, and the horse galloped past Gu Tianyan.
The moment he passed by, Lu Qingshan stretched out his left hand towards Gu Tianyan.
Gu Tianyan did not hesitate to grab Lu Qingshan's left hand, kicked off his legs, got on his horse, and sat behind Lu Qingshan.
"General..."
"Sit tight." While Lu Qingshan kept holding out the dragon bird in his hand, he still had the mood to think that if this scene were in a martial arts world, it would be like this: "Gu Tianyan is sitting on the horse, looking at the man in front of him. The broad back of the person made me look a little crazy for a moment."
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Gu Tianyan is not a pretty girl either.
Lu Qingshan clamped his crotch on the war horse fiercely.
The war horse's mane twitched, its two tired eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes, and its speed, which had gradually slowed down, picked up again at this moment.
Lu Qingshan's dragon bird lightly paddled across the throats of the two white ghosts blocking the road in front of him, then turned his horse and left.
The White Walker's throat was severely injured and he fell off his dead horse.
The dead horse, without its owner to control it, ran forward for tens of meters before being knocked to the ground by the White Walkers coming from behind. Just like a series of car accidents, the huge White Walker team was instantly overturned, greatly hindering the White Walkers. Their pursuit speed.
Lu Qingshan just fought and retreated, and the distance between him and the White Walker pursuers became wider and wider.
That's how it is to rush into battle. The most difficult thing is the process of drilling through the enemy camp at the beginning.
Once you get through it, the rest is easy.
