Troubled Times: Start with 800 Dead Soldiers

The crotch ditch blocking battle was undoubtedly a difficult test for Su Xia and his National Defense Army guard brigade.

What made Su Xia even more difficult was that Duan Peng was recruiting 300 cavalrymen and he only had a [-]-man guard brigade.

On the other hand, Wu Song, who was wielding the Jie Dao, was not panicked at all.

Su Xia understands people like Wu Song, but no matter how powerful Wu Song is, no matter how high his martial arts skills are!

The charge of the cavalry is still unstoppable. The complete disappearance of the cavalry was due to the Second World War. It was also the emergence of heavy firepower and heavy machine guns with continuous fire that caused the cavalry to gradually disappear.

During World War I and even World War II, cavalry continued to play their important role.

The harm caused by 500 cavalry is even greater than the harm caused by 2000 infantry.

"Everyone, hurry to the crotch ditch and don't stop!"

Su Xia commanded the cavalry to maneuver quickly.

He wanted to seize a village like Kuanggou, occupy a few houses, and destroy the roads, which would delay Duan Peng's cavalry movement for a while.

.......

However, the enemy's road is narrow.

It's on the two roads from Pangogou Village, that is, at the intersection of the two roads.

The two teams actually collided.

The two sides found each other almost at the same time.

Su Xia immediately pulled out her saber: "Go!"

Wu Song was an infantry general. Seeing this scene, Su Xia hurriedly ordered: "Wu Song, lead your people to seize the commanding heights immediately. They must not be allowed to pass through the village road."

Almost at the same time Wu Song responded, the two armies fought, extremely jealous.

They all ran long distances, but they all burst out with amazing combat power in an instant.

The war horses from both sides quickly collided and fought in front of the well in the small vegetable field at the entrance of Kugaigou Village!

This is a hand-to-hand combat.

Duan Pengju is not afraid. The 500 people under him are his last elite.

He could tell that the blocking team in front of him had a lot of background.

But he was not worried because of his superior strength.

It's just that he overlooked one thing. He was now near a village, and the open space was not large, so his cavalry could not fully deploy!

Only the 200 people standing at the front actually fought.

Su Xia immediately ordered, "Fire the arrow!"

The soldiers in the guard brigade are all strong soldiers in the army. Many of them are from the old team who followed the Su Xia cavalry in the rebellion from Salmon Island. Their combat effectiveness is very strong.

The weapons they carry include not only the long spears equipped by the infantry, but also the chopping daggers and short bows used by the cavalry.

Although the short bow does not have a powerful range like the God's Arm Bow, the soldiers of the Guard Brigade are multi-purpose.

After hearing Su Xia's order, he immediately formed a formation behind him and started firing arrows!

"whoosh whoosh"

A hail of arrows flew in, and more than a dozen Song soldiers were shot off their horses!

"Fire arrows and fight back!"

Duan Pengju, who was shot, immediately ordered his sergeants to fire arrows to fight back.

However, in the process of fighting the arrows, Su Xia's guard brigade suffered heavy casualties.

This is something that can't be helped. It's also elite versus elite. The enemy's troops have an advantage, and the archers also have an advantage.

At a distance of about a hundred meters, neither strategy nor military tactics had any advantage.

Even superior tactics have little effect.

In just one stick of incense, Su Xia's side suffered 80 casualties.

Duan Pengju's cavalry team on the opposite side also suffered dozens of casualties.

The bow and arrow battle between the two sides quickly turned into a hand-to-hand battle as the arrows were completely consumed.

Here, Duan Pengju, who hoped to occupy the commanding heights, commanded dozens of sergeants to dismount and transform into infantrymen to kill from the east side of the village.

Two Su Xia soldiers were killed in a sneak attack before they could put up much resistance.

Seeing that the commanding heights were about to be taken, Wu Song jumped out like a tiger emerging from the mountain. He cut down several people with lightning speed and shouted: "Who dares to come forward!"

This roar almost frightened the dozens of soldiers who were preparing to attack.

"Xiong Hui, go and reinforce Wu Song!"

Xiong Hui responded and led a small team to rush over.

The Tuye Temple in Kuanggou Village was originally in a state of disarray because it was built on the high ground at the head of the village.

At this moment, it turned into a "flesh and blood mill".

Seeing that the attack was frustrated, Duan Pengju snatched the bow and arrow from the archer's hand: "Shoot for me! Shoot out the remaining arrows!"

The deputy general on the side dissuaded him: "General, we only have these few arrows left."

"If we can't take the commanding heights, if we can't pass, we will all die here!"

The deputy general stopped talking, picked up his weapon, and rushed forward.

The open space below the village entrance was a fight between cavalry, while on the commanding heights of the Earth Temple, there was a more intense and bloody fight!

A shower of arrows came, and suddenly, a crossbow arrow shot directly into Wu Song's arm.

Duan Pengju's lieutenant saw that Wu Song, who was so capable of hitting, was hit by an arrow, and thought to himself that this was an opportunity.

Jumping three feet high, he rushed over with his knife in hand.

However, Wu Song becomes stronger the more he is in a weak situation!

Wu Song roared angrily, pulled out the arrow that hit his right arm, and looked angrily at the Song Army deputy general who was charging towards him.

"Ah!" Li Li threw the feather arrow out, jumped up and changed the direction of the sword, took the sword with his left arm, and slashed with one strike.

This is called a left-hand chopping knife!

This set of movements was so smooth and smooth, coupled with Wu Song's lion-like roar, that the frightened deputy general hurriedly handed over his knife to resist, but he never thought that his arm was cut off. Kicked the man away from the high ground of the Earth Temple.

Seeing that the injured Wu Song was so good at fighting, the other attacking sergeants were frightened and retreated one after another.

Duan Pengju couldn't help but be shocked when he saw this scene.

At this moment, he suddenly began to doubt his life. Was he too arrogant? He led 800 cavalrymen to attack Su Xia's army. Now it seemed that he couldn't even get out of the small crotch ditch.

He shook the Izuku Dragon Iron Spear in his hand and pointed it into the distance: "Brothers, follow me!"

Duan Pengju also attacked. He stepped on the corpse of his sergeant, stepped forward on his horse, and with a thrust, directly knocked down an officer of Su Xia's guard brigade.

Shaking the iron gun again, the two sergeants were hit by his gun and fell off their horses! It made a painful sound that was horrifying.

"Whoever stops me will die!"

Duan Pengju was worthy of being an outstanding general of the Song Dynasty's Forbidden Army. As soon as he took action, the Su Xia army who was close to him suffered heavy casualties. In just one cup of tea, he knocked down more than a dozen soldiers, and the formation instantly dispersed.

Su Xia urgently ordered: "Don't leave, hold on!" After saying that, Su Xia took the lead and rushed over.
