Chapter 824
They read that they were not wrong. The nearly 7,000 red war horses that ran out of Songshui City were captured from the Maha cavalry in the previous battle.
Previously, because these war horses ate Croton, their physical constitution was weak and they could not go to the battlefield. After several days of conditioning, their physical fitness finally recovered.
Although Songshui's cavalry is not strong, it is large enough! The scene of rushing out is really scary.
The fleeing Maha infantry had already abandoned their armor and their strength had greatly reduced. With their legs, they could not escape the Huoyun War Horse. In a moment, they were already caught up by the Songshui Cavalry.
Songshui's cavalry, the weapon used by the person who rushed in the front was a spear. Following the forward rush of the horse, it was powerful and had a very long attack distance. It was often more than a foot away, and it could pick the enemy from behind.
The situation almost went one side, but the Maha army was a tiger and wolf army after all. After all, they were in desperate situations, the soldiers were determined to survive, but instead they re-exploded their strong combat power!
The group of Maha soldiers behind him, led by some small foreman, surrounded several Songshui cavalry, killed people and seized horses, transformed into cavalry. Although these people were infantry, the Maha people had good cavalry since childhood, and even the ability of infantry riding horses was no less than that of Songshui's cavalry.
General Tojo wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to have all his subordinates lost to it. If he didn't leave, he would probably be wiped out today. Moreover, he thought he had obtained the secret relationship between the Jingtian Sect and Milei, so he had to report it in a hurry and he had to leave.
At this time, a deputy general understood his thoughts and said, "General! You should leave quickly, leave here for me! I will lead everyone to escape. If you can't escape, you will fight with Songshui City to the end, and you will never let the Maha soldiers be ashamed!"
General Tojo nodded cautiously and said, "I've left it to you. Don't do anything, remember to get out!"
"I am so humble, and I have the order!" The deputy general watched General Tojo and others leave, and he went alone to the direction of the army's retreat.
When Maha defeated the army, he saw the generals return and his morale was slightly boosted. The deputy general showed his weapons and shouted "Kill-" and rushed towards the Songshui cavalry. The soldiers also stopped, turned around and returned, fighting with Songshui's soldiers.
When the warriors of Songshui, who were inferior in strength, would naturally suffer a great loss. On the city tower, the gold was immediately summoned to withdraw the troops! Songshui soldiers rode their red war horses in circles and turned to the west gate. The speed was very fast, and the Maha soldiers could not catch up at all, so they could only sigh. The people who grabbed the war horses were only about forty or fifty, and the number was too small, so they dared not chase them too close. If the Songshui cavalry circled back and were surrounded by hundreds of people, the infantry would not be able to rescue them at all.
In an instant, the Songshui cavalry had already left. The deputy general looked at the dust raised and felt so angry that he couldn't do anything about it.
"Arrange the array! Reorganize the equipment! Retreat slowly!"
The deputy general ordered that after the rush just now, the Maha soldiers lost another four or five hundred people, and the remaining only more than 3,500 people were left.
These people formed a defensive formation and slowly retreated. As soon as they retreated, the gate of Songshui City opened again, and a wave of red war horses rushed out of the city and rushed towards the Maha square formation.
The deputy general shouted: "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
Songshui's cavalry had only about 500 people this time. Twenty feet away from the Maha phalanx, they suddenly picked up a heavy bow from the side of the horse, picked up the arrow and shot it at the Maha phalanx. They did not seek to be accurate, but only wanted to shoot the archery quickly enough. "Swish Swish Swish Swish", shot all the thirty arrows in the quiver pot, and then quickly turned the horse's head and ran towards the west gate of Songshui City.
You should know that when the Maha soldiers fled, they had already thrown away their defensive shields. Such a heavy shield could not run far, and even more so, they could not run fast.
At this time, the rain of arrows came, and they could only use real kung fu to block and avoid it. However, the arrows were as dense as the rain, so how many people could all escape? Only this wave of archers took away the lives of two or three hundred Maha soldiers, and the other injured were no less than a thousand.
The deputy general was so angry that he gritted his teeth and was about to order his retreat to the military camp soon and use the trenches there as a cover. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves came from the north gate of Songshui City again!
The three or four hundred Songshui cavalrymen approached again.
"Dispers! Retreat! Gathering the camp!" The deputy general also did not have good tactics, and this was when he was called "Daily Responsive" and "Daily Responsive" and "Daily Responsive".
The fire cloud horses were like red lightning bolts, and soon approached the Maha army. This time it was not a bow and arrow, but a javelin!
The sound of "Wuwu" was like crying and complaining, and nearly a hundred Maha soldiers were stabbed to death by javelins. However, Maha's remnants finally came to the camp and could rely on the camp for a little defense. There were trenches outside the camp, and there were Luzhai on both sides of the trenches, which could effectively prevent the Songshui cavalry from colliding and advancing.
However, what discouraged the Maha soldiers were that the Songshui cavalry followed closely outside the camp. Although they were still archers, everyone shot rockets! Hundreds of rockets fell into the Maha camp like meteors, and all the general's tent and some wooden and leather things were ignited.
After only three shots, the entire Maha camp fell into a sea of fire. Because it was a covered shooting, everything that could be ignited was ignited.
The deputy general brought the remnants of Maha. As soon as he entered the barracks, he had to evacuate before he could breathe a sigh of relief! The few weapons in the barracks were also re-armed by the infantry. With weapons, their combat effectiveness would be much greater.
An Yu jumped onto a fierce red war horse and said, "Check their own equipment, each person brings rations for three days and a water bag! None of these soldiers of Maha can be spared! If you want to completely defeat the Maha Kingdom, you must destroy all their living power!"
Maha's deputy general led the remnants to the woods, so that the advantages of the infantry could be reflected. However, what drove them crazy was that there was always the sound of horse hooves sounding nearby. They wanted to assault, but the Songshui cavalry was on the road and felt someone approaching, and immediately opened the distance.
If he wanted to chase him again, the Maha people were shocked to find that on the road were Songshui's brigade of well-equipped cavalry, with about four or five thousand people!
The Maha people had already been shattered in their hearts and were repeatedly abused by the Songshui City Army. Now when they see them, they will wonder, is this another conspiracy or ambush?
Songshui's elite cavalry, led by An Yu, specifically picked the lonely Maha soldiers and took action. After killing them, they quickly moved. In this way, the Maha soldiers could only join in groups in fear, and the target of joining groups would be larger and they would be unable to escape the pursuit of Songshui cavalry.
That night, the deputy general and his remaining troops finally entered the deep mountains. He did not feel the breath of Songshui cavalry nearby, so he wanted to rest his tired body. However, the death-thrusting sound of horse hooves came again...
