These voices, roared from the chest with blood and tears, represent the thoughts of these warriors at the moment. No one cares about their own lives, even if they survive the disaster, but facing the death of their comrades in front of them, the survivors have no other thought except revenge. This can be heard from their uniform roars. Gotta come out.
Zhang Zhi nodded: "Our mission is to follow the chariot troops and force the enemy's cavalry to return to the city. Now after a round of fighting, the enemy's cavalry retreated temporarily. Although we did not force them back to the city, we have completed it. You have completed the combat mission and faced the Yan Kingdom's armored cavalry sweeping across the world, you are all heroes!"
"Now, everyone has survived a narrow escape. I can't force you to continue fighting. If you want to continue fighting and avenge your brothers, step forward. If you are tired and injured, I will allow you to evacuate now. All of you must It's a good job, your duty has been fulfilled, and revenge has nothing to do with military orders!"
Everyone took a step forward without hesitation, no one stayed in place, and no one retreated. A sergeant said loudly: "Brother Afu, needless to say, Liu Taozi and I came out to be soldiers together. Now that he is dead, if I don’t avenge him and kill all these armored cavalry, then I will take my body and return home with him.”
"Even so, I also want to avenge my third brother Li Tieniu. Otherwise, are we still considered brothers?"
"Brother Afu, let's fight. I'm not afraid of death. If I retreat right now, I'll be uneasy for the rest of my life!"
"Brother Afu, our Beifu army only sheds blood, not tears. With so many brothers gone, how can we, the people, spare our lives? Either victory or death, this is what we, Beifu men, are like!"
Hu Laoliu sat on the horse and watched all this with dozens of riders beside him. He sighed softly: "You are worthy of being from our Lao Beifu. They are all good people. We have such brothers." , if we can fight together, bleed together, and die together, we will have no regrets in this life. Okay, brother Afu, I will not advise you to retreat again, but it is good to have the spirit of not being afraid of death, but still don’t You died in vain, now that the chariot is back, you might as well get back on it and fight."
Zhang Zhi glanced around in a blink of an eye. Of the six or seven remaining chariots, no matter whether it was the charioteers or the halberdiers on the chariots, everyone was injured and bloody. Just now, these chariot soldiers were forcibly fighting in and out of the enemy's formation. , and there were no crossbowmen on the car to snipe the enemy from a distance, and in turn they were hit by many enemy arrows. After this round, they were already very tired. Even the war horses were digging on the ground with their heads down, sweating. Like pulp.
Zhang Zhi shook his head: "No, the brothers in the chariot have consumed too much just now, and they can't move now. It won't be of much use for us to get on the chariot, and..."
When he said this, he pointed at the axle of a chariot more than 20 steps away. He saw that two spokes of the chariot had been broken, and the entire axle had become extremely unstable. It was shaking around when driving, and it looked like It looks like it will fall apart at any moment.
Everyone's expressions changed, and they also looked at the other chariots. They saw that most of the bodies and wheels were like this, and all of them were scarred, just like the soldiers on the vehicles. Obviously, these chariots were besieged by hundreds of enemy cavalry just now. , even if it was not destroyed, it was on the verge of falling apart.
Zhang Zhi said in a deep voice: "Brothers from the Fourth Team of the Cheying Camp, where is your Captain Liu?"
One of the commanders gasped and said: "Both Captain Liu and Deputy Captain Li were killed in the battle, and the two command vehicles have been scrapped. Now you are the top officer of the entire convoy, Brother Afu."
Zhang Zhi nodded and said: "Captain Liu and Deputy Captain Li rushed in front from the beginning. I saw with my own eyes that their chariot was hit by a wheel and crashed. It's a pity, good brother. Now before the new reinforcements arrive, , brothers in the chariot team, listen to my order, get off the car now, repair the wheels as quickly as possible, and install the baffles. Just now, in order to meet the enemy, we had no time to install these armors. Now the enemy's offensive has temporarily stopped, and again Our cavalry brothers will come to the top. You can repair the chariot and follow my orders."
The commander gritted his teeth: "No, Brother Afu, your crossbowmen don't even have cover and are still fighting. How can we chariot soldiers just sit back and watch?"
Zhang Zhi shook his head: "We are different. With a strong crossbow in hand, we can also pick up long poles on the ground to fight. But if the chariot is not good, it will fall apart and will not be effective. If your baffle is not installed, both the driver and the pole will have to fight." Without cover, even our crossbowmen are forced to jump out of their vehicles to fight, and their combat effectiveness is greatly reduced."
Having said this, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "Stay all the wounded, work with the drivers of each vehicle to repair the chariot and install armor. We must move quickly and don't let us hold on in front for too long!"
No one wanted to stand up, so Zhang Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "Leave all those who are red or injured, especially you, Li Qiuping, you can't even walk, why are you holding back? Do you think I can’t see you if you hide in the crowd?”
Li Qiuping simply got out from behind his two companions: "Brother Afu, you are also injured. If you want me to stay, you can't go either."
Zhang Zhi sighed: "You kid, don't talk nonsense. I am now the supreme commander of the entire chariot fleet. I am at the back, so who will command you from the front? Listen to the order, stay here, repair these chariots as soon as possible, and be able to repair them as soon as possible. Come ahead and help us."
Li Qiuping sighed and limped along with four or five wounded soldiers towards the damaged tanks. The drivers had already started to go to the back of the vehicle to find hammers, rivets and other repair materials.
The crossbowmen jumped off the chariot and gathered here. Zhang Zhi looked around. Sixteen or seventeen crossbowmen were holding powerful crossbows, while twelve or thirteen crossbowmen and sixty-seven shield guards were holding halberds. He, holding his shield, stood beside the crossbowmen. Although everyone's face was covered with blood, sweat and exhaustion, their spirit and morale were still high, and their eyes were full of fighting spirit.
Zhang Zhi said solemnly: "Brothers, our task now is to hold our position before the enemy charges again. We have more than a hundred cavalry brothers, and there are no less than two hundred thieves on the opposite side. We will charge next time." , they will definitely do their best, even if we are the last one left, we will still stop them."
"There is no complete shield formation here, but the dozen or so damaged tanks in front are our best cover. A crossbowman is paired with a crossbowman or a shield guard. If the enemy cavalry attacks, they will hide behind the tanks. From behind, shoot them with a crossbow. If they come close, the shield guards and the shield guards will come forward to fight. If that doesn't work, you can use axes to chop off their horses' legs or stab their stomachs. As long as there is no armor, you can kill them. !Brothers, fight to the end!”
Everyone raised their weapons high and shouted in unison: "Fight to the bitter end!"
