In the palace of Dawan Kingdom, on a round-arched column tower, Upa raised his head with his hands behind his back, watching the black eagle slowly falling.
Next to him, Flying Eagle Mask, who had escaped from the underground palace, was trembling and kneeling on the ground, not daring to speak.
"It's about to begin." Anger quickly emerged on Upa's face.
"The army of nearly 15,000 and the Dawan Golden Cavalry of 8,000 are considered a terrifying force in the entire Western Region."
"You also said that Xu Thief's men and horses were only six or seven thousand before."
"Master, that's right. That's right."
Click.
Upa stepped on Eagle Mask's head and slowly trampled it to the ground. Even if blood oozes from the eyes and nose, the flying eagle mask does not dare to move.
"With the inferior strength of our troops and the long journey, we are already in dire straits. Even with the help of people from Zhenlan City, we may not be able to get out."
"Lou Luo, don't let me down. The eight thousand golden knights are the elites of the Western Region."
"Master, don't worry, Prince Lou Luo will definitely succeed."
"Trash, you should have listened to me a long time ago." Upa said in a cold voice and stepped down again.
belch--
Flying Eagle Mask's face turned pale, his mouth was vomiting blood, and he still didn't dare to move. Even the mask was crushed, revealing a face full of scars.
"Next time, I'll feed you to the sand wolf."
"Thank you, master, for not killing me."
"snort."
Upa retracted his movements, raised his head again, and the corners of his mouth showed a habitual, sinister smile.
…
"Golden Rider——"
After climbing over several sand dunes, Lou Luo's face became even crazier. Behind him, on the left and behind, were bronze-plated cavalry, roaring all over the sky, giving them the majesty of a mighty army.
"Prince, it's just ahead!"
Lou Luo raised his head, and sure enough, he could vaguely see the place where the Shu people camped hidden behind the sand dunes. If he is not discovered and makes a surprise attack...
Lou Luo raised his mace excitedly.
"The Golden Cavalry obeyed my military orders and attacked Shu Dog head-on to show off our power in the Western Regions!"
"kill!"
…
"After a long-distance attack, the enemy troops will definitely be eager to win when they see our camp." Xu Mu rode a horse and hid in the sand dunes beside the camp.
"With this, we will rely on the power of the charge to launch the first round of all-out assault. Don't forget that the surrounding desert terrain is extremely flat and extremely suitable for cavalry."
Xu Mu stopped talking, turned his head and looked at the more than 700 Shu soldiers. Behind the sand dunes on the opposite side, there are also Chen Sheng's thousands of Shu soldiers. Divided into two wings, as long as the enemy troops continue to advance, they are considered to be surrounded and killed.
The ground was shaking, like thundering horse hooves, which stung people's ears for a moment.
"Lord, the enemy is getting closer."
"Don't be anxious, calm down." Xu Mu said calmly.
If it were placed on the plains and hills, as long as he had time to prepare, he could use the nearby forests to build more horses and even catapults. But now, this is a desert, and except for some thirst-resistant plants like thorn grass, there is nothing else.
Of course, the old cactus that Si Hu chopped back must be a good thing.
"Array-"
At this time, in the camp, an old Xishu general was preparing to fight with the infantry left behind in the camp.
In front of them, the military tents that seemed to be scattered randomly were actually quite a lot.
"call."
The first three rows of Shu soldiers had a leather shield in one hand and a spear in the other, using a spear array to protect the long-range rifles at the rear.
"Strike the bow!"
Sand and dust rolled up all over the sky, and with the sudden strong wind, the world around them was already shaking.
"Kill!"
The first wave of golden knights were already roaring towards them, waving their scimitars high.
"Tripping the rope!"
hold head high--
First, the enemies riding four or five were stumbled, and then, the enemy riding behind them couldn't stop their horses in time, and fell down a large piece.
Seven or eight of the Shu soldiers in the trip rope group were shot to death by horse bows.
"Listen to my military orders!" General Lao Pi raised his sword and stepped forward. "With your bow, shoot the flying arrows in a rotational direction in the north direction!"
Thump thump thump.
The sound of breaking strings resounded neatly. Following closely, dense flying arrows were shot out from the formation of Xishu, one after another.
The trap of the horse rope, in this kind of terrain, can at best stop the leading cavalry. In a short time, the enemy cavalry has already reacted.
Those who were not dead ran away quickly. If there were dead people or those who were seriously injured and fell to the ground, there was no way to take care of them. Pieces of horse hooves stepped on the corpses.
"Rear troops, rein in your horses and fire back!" After visually measuring the distance, Lou Luo shouted angrily.
Under the military orders, only a moment later, flying arrows all over the sky were also thrown into the Shu camp.
"Raise your shield!"
The protective power of the leather shield is not very sufficient. For a time, many Shu soldiers fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
"Hahaha!" Lou Luo was overjoyed.
"Quick, charge forward immediately and crush all the Shu dogs! That Xu thief must be hiding in the main formation!"
"Kill!"
…
"Brother Mu, if not..."
"Si Hu, wait a moment." Xu Mu gritted his teeth. Why doesn't he feel distressed? The battle losses due to the disadvantage are getting bigger and bigger. But what he should do most now is to rely on the two wings to attack and strive for the biggest kill.
Chen Sheng, who was on the other side, also looked anxious. But again, without Xu Mu's signal, he would not dare to expose himself.
Before the camp, the Golden Cavalry of Dawan Kingdom had already entered in a mighty manner. But unexpectedly, when he had just entered the camp and was about to crush the military tents and pass by——
Suddenly, screams started to sound. One after another, the golden knights kept falling down.
"Prince, the military tents are full of rebels... No wonder these Shu people have such strange distribution of military tents!"
Lou Luo's face was startled, and after he saw clearly the formation ahead, he gritted his teeth.
He couldn't figure out why these Shu people were so tenacious in this desert terrain.
"Damn that old cactus thorn!"
Not only the old cactus, but also the iron knife hidden in Juma. Unfortunately, since there is no fixed method, these horses are not very powerful.
But even so, the charging Golden Cavalry still caused a commotion.
"Quickly, shoot the flying arrow!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the infantry bowmen in the main camp followed the order and threw waves of flying arrows at the enemy in front.
There were blocking horses, and under the brief chaos, more and more casualties were seen on the enemy's cavalry.
…
Clang.
On the sand dune, Xu Mu's face became serious and he drew his long sword.
Behind him, more than 700 Shu soldiers began to tighten their reins, straightening their leather shields and long iron spears.
"Signal."
woo woo woo woo.
The dull horn sounded suddenly.
On the sand dune opposite, Chen Sheng, who had been impatient for a long time, roared with anger.
"Brothers, follow my general to kill the enemy thieves and defend our Western Shu! Kill!"
"Kill, kill!"
"In this battle, as I said before, the enemy dogs from the Western Regions have entered our Western Sichuan like a lamb to be slaughtered!" Xu Mu swung his long sword.
"Listen to my king's order, cooperate with the flanking army, and rush to kill the enemy's cavalry!"
"Brothers, it's time to steal the military glory!" Si Hu raised his ax and shouted.
"Charge and kill the enemy cavalry!"
…
