Royal road

Chapter 69 Confrontation

Galloping from the high capital city to the Xicheng Valley where the rear army is located, going straight through the canyon in the middle can save most of the time.Although the canyon road was narrow and not conducive to the cavalry, Lu Ge resolutely chose this road.No matter who hijacked the luggage, they couldn't quickly transport the food and money away, and if they could save a moment of time, they would have an extra chance.

However, when the fast horse galloped into the canyon, Lu Ge's heart tightened suddenly, he seemed to have neglected something.Before he could think clearly, several rockets fell like stars and landed at the exit of the canyon in front of him.With a bang, the fire rose!

Oops!What those people want is not luggage at all, but to lure them back to help and ambush them from the side!He fell for it!

However, it was too late to wake up, and the war horses neighed one after another, not daring to approach the mouth of the gorge.Horses are afraid of fire by nature, even the most seasoned knights cannot control it.

"Back! Get out of the valley!" Lu Long also noticed something wrong at this moment, and shouted loudly.But how easy is it to withdraw from the narrow valley?Before the knights at the back reined in their horses and turned around, they saw a group of infantry armed with spears rushing out of the woods on both sides of the valley entrance and gathered in the middle of the road.

Lu Long's eyes almost burst into flames, and he shouted angrily: "A group of infantry dare to stop me, let me scatter them!"

Just a hundred people, dare to set up an ambush?Let's see if he doesn't kill these daring guys!

Several horses had already turned around, trying to charge towards the team of infantry.But Lu Ge stopped loudly: "Get off my horse! Everyone get off their horses and fight!"

"What?" Lu Long was taken aback, "Why didn't you charge forward?"

"The road is too narrow to rush through. Dead horses will block the road." Lu Ge had jumped off his horse, drew out his scimitar, and strode forward, "They are few in number, dismount and fight, let's fight!"

Looking at the dense array of guns in front of him, Lu Ge felt a strong killing intent in his chest.Since the incident, it was the first time he had encountered such an opponent.What about Zhongfu?So what if there are no horses?He wants these guys to see what Lu Ge is relying on!

Hearing the leader's order, the Huns got off their horses one after another, picked up their bows, or held their knives, and rushed towards the mouth of the valley with great strides.



They did not charge with horses.Standing in the middle of the team, Yi Yan watched the group of cavalrymen get off their horses with cold eyes.It doesn't matter if he doesn't rush, he specially chose this canyon, in order to let the group of cavalry dismount and fight on foot.As long as the position is stable and there is no attack on the back, the Brave Battalion is not afraid of any enemies!

Like a group of solid stone statues, the spears are like a forest, motionless.The enemy howled and approached, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps... Yi Yan roared loudly: "Raise the shield!"

The ones at the head of the team this time were not spearmen, but a row of swordsmen.Hearing the order, those strong soldiers holding wooden shields raised their shields high.In the next moment, the arrows rained, and Duoduo nailed into the wooden shield.Even wearing light armor, they can't stop bows and arrows, and the Huns' cavalry are the best at shooting. Even in foot combat, they will not give up a round of salvo.

The wooden shield blocked most of the arrows, but there were still some fish that slipped through the net and pierced into the crowd.After a shower of arrows, two or three vacancies were missing in the formation, which were immediately filled by followers.Like a wheat wave blown by a strong wind, after falling down, it will stand up again.The two armies got closer, so close that there were no more flying arrows, only grim faces and flashing blades.

"kill!"

There were no more slogans such as raising guns and assassinating, and all the orders were condensed into a loud shout.The wooden shield hung down, and the spearmen hiding behind jumped out!

At a distance of one foot, no matter how sharp the scimitar is, it cannot cut through flesh and blood.However, the gun can!The spear roared, piercing the cold air, piercing the dull killing cry, and piercing the enemies in front!From the chest, from the belly, from the throat, pierced by the tip of the gun, blood spurted out!

The screams echoed in the valley, ten enemies fell down, and more enemies rushed up.They are not bandits or rogues, but Hun warriors who have seen blood and carry knives. They will not be frightened by mere ten lives.However, what greeted them was another line of long spears, another line, and another line... One line after another line of long spears pierced out one after another, accompanied by the sound of killing one after another, like a furious wave with no end in sight, surging towards them. Come forward.

Lu Long opened his mouth wide, looking at the forest of guns in disbelief, what is this?Why is there such a battle? !

Lu Ge did not hesitate, and shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!"

"Brother! There are still people..." Lu Long was taken aback, why did he shoot the arrow at this time?The forwards are all mixed up with the enemy!

However, Lu Ge had already bent his bow and set his arrow, the tip of the arrow was raised slightly, and shot out.Under his yelling, other Hun soldiers gritted their teeth and shot arrows.The distance was too close, and they could only be thrown. The random arrows fell from mid-air like a wave of torrential rain, and hit the junction of the two armies.

Several of the Xiongnu forwards who were fighting were hit by the rain of arrows and fell down. The rest of the people found that the gun array in front of them was in chaos!The formation that was originally neat and seamless, with no opportunity to take advantage of it, collapsed in a large area, and those terrifying enemies with spears were howling in pain.

Chance!This is an excellent time to cross that one foot distance!Without anyone's reminder, the experienced Hun warriors rushed forward.Long spears can attack from a distance, but they can never defend against melee attacks!

A row of guns was washed away.At this moment, the ones fighting with guns are all auxiliary soldiers. Most of them have seen the battlefield for the first time, and they don't know how to adapt, so they can only attack clumsily according to the drill.Such a sudden attack completely disrupted their rhythm, holding the spears firmly in their hands, they were unable to fight the enemies rushing in front of them.The screams became louder, and the entire gun array began to fall far away.

Yi Yan clenched his long saber tightly, and shouted: "Sword and shield hand, meet the enemy in front of the formation! The soldiers resume their spear formation! Others follow me!"

Following the shouts, the ten people followed closely behind Yiyan, crossed the wall in front of them, and rushed towards the front of the formation.Each of them carried a long oval shield in their hands, and the hard wood was covered with iron sheets.This is a special shield for the cavalry of the Liang Mansion. It can not only guard against the enemy's arrow feathers, but also resist the blades in front of the formation.However, at this moment, these shields became the best barriers. Following their footsteps, they moved forward quickly and crashed into the enemy's front army!

Just one hit!The ferocious Huns immediately stopped their progress, as if they had crashed into a towering mountain.However, what they bumped into was not a mountain peak, but the elite of the Liang Mansion who were holding weapons!Behind the shield, the blade flashed!

Like the Xiongnu cavalry, the Liang Mansion cavalry is also battle-tested and heroic.However, the difference is that they are full of food, wear leather armor, and have nothing else to do except fighting and practicing on weekdays.And among these cavalry, there are many tall and burly Jie people!

Like a tiger coming down a mountain and breaking into a pack of wolves, Yi Yan's team effortlessly tore apart the Huns' front army.Like a sharp knife, piercing into the formation of the Huns!Under such a ferocious attack, who can take the time to take a bow and shoot an arrow?

In the rear, Zhu Er panted heavily, and shouted loudly: "Line up! Line up for me! Don't treat them as living people, they are our food and wages, and they are tax-free fields! Stand up for me!"

His body was still trembling slightly, just like the first time he fought, it was excitement, fear, and involuntary nervousness.However, his legs stopped shaking, his hands didn't shake, and his eyes and brain didn't tremble in the slightest!Under the scolding of the veterans one by one, the group of auxiliary soldiers who had almost dispersed stood up again and lined up.

Their team was upright, and their battalion officers rushed into the enemy camp.How to do?

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

With a neat pace, the gun array began to move, killing the chaotic enemy army!

The Huns' line collapsed.From the inside to the outside, the chaos became a pot of porridge.The team led by Yiyan drew everyone's attention away from the direction.If you want to kill this group of people, you must turn around and surround the tiger-like elite soldiers with flesh and blood.However, once they turned around, gunshots followed one after another, which could also kill them without a place to bury them.

No matter how elite soldiers are, they cannot face such a situation!The formation has collapsed, but the enemy army is still harvesting their lives effectively at high speed!How to resist?Where are you going to escape?What should I do? !It is the courage and determination to fight that collapses before the formation!

Must kill him, must kill him!Unlike the others, Lu Ge roared and rushed to the center of the battle group, towards the tall and tall young man of the Jie people.He has already seen that this person is the leader in charge of this weird army!As long as you kill him, everything will turn around!

The machete that had killed countless people slashed heavily, but was held back by a solid shield.When the sneak attack failed, a pair of gray-blue eyes turned around and locked onto his figure.The color of those eyes was extremely strange, sharp and frightening, like the eyes of a wolf in a moonlit night.Lu Ge only felt the hairs on his back standing on end, but he didn't flinch, and shouted: "Lu Long!"

On the other side, Lu Long also swung the scimitar in his hand.Like his cousin, he understood that this was the only possibility to win the battle.There are 400 of them! 400 people!How could he be defeated in a canyon without knowing it!

Being bitten tightly by the two, Yiyan didn't panic at all, on the contrary, his heart was as clear as water, and his mind was calm about what he had done before.This is the leader of the enemy, kill them, you can defeat the enemy soldiers!Just kill them all!

The shield struck head-on, but Lu Ge dodged to dodge, and the blade slashed again, but the blade landed in the empty space.The shield in front of him disappeared and turned into another dagger, with a cold light shining like a ghost.This is the backhand knife!It will never be too fast, as soon as this thought surfaced, the blade followed like a shadow, stabbing at his face.Lu Ge broke out in a cold sweat, his body suddenly fell back, and he rolled out on the spot.He is not afraid of the enemy catching up, because Aaron is blocking it for him.

However, when he jumped up again, a human head rolled under his feet.It was Lu Long's head, with his mouth and eyes wide open, and he would not rest in peace.

"Ahhh!!!" Lu Ge only felt that he was going crazy!How can it be? !How could he have killed Aaron in one blow? !

The tragic howling did not affect the person in front of him, and the long knife cut through the wind, slashing down like a mountain!Holding a knife in both hands, Lu Ge ruthlessly greeted him!The blade burst out of the gap with a click, but he blocked it!However, another shadow cut through the breeze, gently lifted up, and kissed his throat.

The short left-handed knife cut into the throat with incomparable precision.

At that moment, Lu Ge could only see the blue sky, the gray mountain ridges, and those strange eyes intertwined with gray and blue.There were two soft sounds in the throat, and the scimitar came out of his hand and fell to the ground with a clang.He grabbed the blood in his throat with both hands, as if trying to stop the surging heat.But with just one hand, how can you stop Death in his footsteps?

The sky was getting dark, the wind was terribly cold, and there was also the heavy blood that accompanied him every day.He actually only lived for such a few days, only such a mere few days...

That figure disappeared, and Lu Ge fell face-to-face in a pool of blood dripping from him.

"The head of the enemy chief!" Yi Yan leaned over and picked up the shield, and shouted, "Sword and shield hand, charge in!"

The Huns were completely in chaos. Some people got on their horses and wanted to rush out of the canyon, while some looked crazy and rushed towards the gun forest screaming.This kind of formation has no vitality, only a dead end.Or die in the sea of ​​fire, or die in the sword!They want to live, want to live!

However, Yiyan didn't stop, the sword, shield and spear were as sharp as before, completely leveling the valley.The horse groaned, and the screams gradually stopped, leaving only a thick and burnt smell, echoing in the valley.

"The team is upright, there are no more enemy soldiers." A chief came up to Yiyan and said in a low voice.

"How many people died?" Yi Yan waved the knife, shaking off the sticky blood on it.

"There are eleven auxiliary soldiers and six main soldiers. There are more than [-] serious injuries." Na Shichang's voice was heavy. Although he defeated an enemy that was twice as large as himself in this battle, it also caused heavy losses to the soldiers of the family.In addition to serious injuries and deaths, there are countless minor injuries.

Yiyan sheathed his saber, and said coldly: "Gather the horses and load the luggage. Form the team and return home!"

The battle was over, and the rest, he had to hand over to the lord intact.

In the sky, the setting sun was like blood, reflected in the crimson valley.A group of blood-stained soldiers led their horses and drove their carts to a distant place.
