"Master Jike! Why do I feel like the other party is leading us in circles?"
After all, they are a race that lives on the grassland. After chasing for a while, some people felt that something was wrong.
During the time they were chasing the cavalry escort, they had made several large circles in place.
Hearing this, Jikmaur Hegel just nodded slightly, his eyes still staring tightly ahead, but he said calmly:
"Don't feel it, the other party is just leading us in circles."
"Then shall we still chase them?"
The cavalrymen under his command were immediately confused when they heard this.
Jikmaoer said: "Our purpose is only to monitor the other party, as long as they do not escape our sight, the rest will be done after the Great Khan has organized all the tribesmen and the large force arrives.
If they want to go around, let them go around. We should be careful not to get too close and we might be ambushed. "
The men suddenly understood, and they stopped asking questions when they knew what was going on, and quietly continued the pursuit.
At the same time, Guan Ning in front looked back at Hegel, who had been led around several large circles by him but was still not in a hurry at all. A smile appeared on the corner of Hegel's mouth, which was following him from a distance.
He raised his head and looked at the sun. It was almost time, so he gave the order without hesitation. The military messenger waved the flag, and the entire team quickly changed direction and began to speed up.
"Lord Jikmaor! The other party is speeding up! Are they trying to run?"
"Shut up and catch up quickly, don't lose me!"
Gikmaoer didn't have time to answer his men's questions, so he quickly gave the order and then accelerated his horse to follow.
Soon, the two teams, one in front and one behind, turned around and headed toward the southeast quickly.
At this time, more than ten miles to the southeast, Ding Hongguang, who received the news, quickly led his people to the designated location and set up arrangements based on the news sent back by Guan Ning.
It took about half an hour to arrange everything properly. When he saw that the time was almost up, he waved his hand and led five thousand people to ambush around him.
That's right, there were only five thousand. The thirteen thousand people he led carried a lot of baggage. If they all came to ambush the army, their mobility would be hindered. But this time they required quick action, so they only brought five thousand. The people arrived at the designated destination lightly.
Although there are only five thousand people, if this ambush is successful, five thousand people will be enough.
After everything was ready, not long after, the rumble of horse hooves was heard in the distance. The seven thousand elite cavalry led by Guan Ning arrived in the blink of an eye. Led by Guan Ning, they divided into two columns and circled a large circle. After the circle, he walked away.
The place fell into silence again, and the surroundings were as quiet as if the five thousand people who were ambushing here just now did not exist.
In less than a stick of incense, there was a lot of roaring in the distance again, and Jikmaur, who had been following Guan Ning's army, led three thousand Hegel cavalry here.
Jikmaur and his party were not marching very fast, and sentries were constantly sent out from the team to investigate the surrounding situation. After arriving here, they did not pay too much attention. They simply investigated as before and planned to quickly pass by. .
However, as the army accelerated, the cavalry at the forefront suddenly let out a miserable howl, followed by a chaotic sound of people turning on their backs and horses tumbling on their backs.
When Jikmaor, who was in the middle army, saw the situation ahead, he immediately said something bad in his heart!
I'm afraid I was ambushed!
But before he could give the order to respond, a sharp and rapid whistle suddenly sounded from behind the team!
A loud shout sounded from behind the cavalry!
"Crossbow! Volley!"
Compliment, praise, praise! Buzz! ! !
There were bursts of neat and rhythmic mechanical sounds, followed by the huge buzzing sound of the bow string being released and the arrows being shot out.
When Jikmaur and his cavalry turned back in shock, what they saw was a doomsday scene.
The crossbow arrows, which were densely packed like black waves, formed a black cloud and shot towards this side.
The machine sound was very rhythmic. Jikmaoer heard it ten times in total before losing consciousness. The next moment, he was pricked into a hedgehog by the overwhelming rain of arrows!
The three thousand cavalrymen who were chasing them were cut into pieces by the continuous rain of arrows like wheat. The cavalrymen in the rear were attacked and the cavalrymen in the front rushed forward with all their strength, regardless of the danger they had discovered before!
At least for now, the road ahead is mostly a trap. If you are lucky, you might be able to rush out, but if you turn back, you will definitely be pricked into a hedgehog by the dark cloud-like rain of arrows!
They still know this very well!
Everyone rushed forward desperately, which also resulted in almost all the horse traps dug here being used. Countless knights were thrown off their horses and fell unconscious. The unlucky ones were caught up directly behind them. His companions were trampled into minced meat.
However, those Hegel cavalrymen who were extremely lucky and managed to break out of the horse trap had no time to be happy. The next moment, there was a vibration on the ground ahead!
The 7,000 fine cavalry of the escort army that had long gone away unexpectedly returned. At this moment, they had completed their acceleration and rushed unstoppably into the group of "lucky ones", bringing with them bursts of blood!
This grassland seemed to have countless bloody fountains at this moment, dyeing the ground red in the blink of an eye.
The Hegel cavalryman, who had nearly a hundred smiles of joy on his face, lost consciousness with a smile on his face before he could restrain it.
"Bow! Half-full throw!"
"put!"
In the rear, the soldiers led by Ding Hongguang emptied the crossbow boxes of the repeating crossbows in their hands, quickly hung the crossbow machine back on their waists, took off the long bows behind their backs, listened to the order, and all pulled it to half the string and pointed it at 45° to the sky. At Ding Hongguang's command, they all released their bowstrings!
Buzz!
The buzzing sound sounded again, and the crossbows that had just ended were fired. Before the Hegel cavalry who were lucky enough to survive could breathe a sigh of relief, their faces instantly turned pale when they heard this familiar voice!
The familiar black dark cloud appeared again, but this time it was not coming directly, but it was really as if the dark cloud was falling from the sky!
The Hegel cavalrymen who had just survived relying on the leather shields in their hands showed their last sad smiles when faced with this rain of arrows falling from the sky.
The next moment!
Whoosh! ! !
The rain of arrows fell, and like a torrential downpour, the Jingqi behind the palace was completely covered!
And this rain of arrows lasted for more than one round, and followed Ding Hongguang's order for three consecutive rounds. After three rounds, there was no more Hegel cavalry standing on the field.
On the front army side, the seven thousand elite cavalry led by Guan Ning had already killed all the cavalry of Hegel's former army, leaving only countless stumps and broken arms on the battlefield.
A whole three thousand horses were destroyed here.
However, they did not cause any casualties to the escort. The only wounded soldier was because he was too excited and accidentally cut himself with a knife.
After the two sides met, Guan Ning looked at the area in front of him that was covered with arrows, and even his feet couldn't get in, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Old Ding, are you exaggerating? Aren't there just a few thousand Tatar cavalry? I'm afraid you have shot 70,000 or 80,000 arrows, right? Is it necessary?" Guan Ning complained with a twitching corner of his mouth.
Ding Hongguang shook his head indifferently: "The prince said that problems that can be solved with arrows should not be solved with human lives. The soldiers of our Yunzhou County are very valuable. Spend more arrows and reduce casualties. It is worth it."
Seeing that he had moved the prince out, Guan Ning had no choice but to spread his hands and stop arguing.
Immediately, the army began to clean up the battlefield quickly. After wasting so much time, Hegel's main army must have finished reorganizing and was heading here. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time.
The soldiers of the guard camp recovered all the arrows and quickly left the place, leaving only corpses on the ground waiting for the arrival of the main force of the Gehegel tribe...
