After the world collapsed

Chapter 46

The enemy does not move and we do not move. Since the distance between the two sides is really far, the side that first charges does not necessarily have the advantage.But the Izumo country, as the active offensive side, will definitely launch the charge first.

With a sound of a horn, I remembered that there was still a long snake array spreading out across Izumo Kingdom, and they charged in an instant, looking at the posture that they wanted to surround the Breaking Dawn Army.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed forward in a row, and the sound of horseshoes and shouts seemed to shake the whole world.

"Get ready... to charge!"

After receiving Dugu Zhaorong's signal, the red armored knight beside him also blew the charge horn.

The two columns of the Daybreak Army launched a charge under the leadership of their respective captains. During the start process, the cavalry behind the column gradually dispersed. After charging for a certain distance, each column was like a sharp sword.

"What kind of formation is this? It looks quite bluffing." The general on the Izumo side was a little surprised to see the formation change of the Poxiao Army from a distance. He had never seen such a formation.

However, he was a little surprised to see the three figures in dark red armor on the side of the dawn army, leading a few scattered cavalry, staying in place and not moving.

"The opponent's general did not attack, but stayed where he was with a few people? Is this fear of death?" Most people in the Izumo camp have seen this situation, let alone the one who charged ahead. The cloud country cavalry are gone.

I saw that the distance between the left and right cavalry of the Akatsuki Army was getting farther and farther. At this speed, when the two sides came into contact, the two cavalry of the Akatsuki Army had already charged to the two ends of the long snake formation in the Izumo Kingdom. up.

Apparently, the cavalry captain of the Izumo Kingdom also noticed this situation, turned his brains around, and looked at the few people who stayed in the same place in the Xiaoxiao Army, and immediately felt that there was a fraud.

The opponent's formation has changed, and he needs to make the right choice immediately before the two armies come into contact, so at this moment his thoughts are turning rapidly:

"It's understandable that the two main forces of the opponent are separated to the two sides. It is to facilitate the breakout from the outside so that they will not be completely surrounded. But now that the middle door of the opponent's camp is opened, the few people left behind look like dawn, although they are wearing red armor. The general of the army obviously wants us to ignore the attacks from both sides and go straight to their rear."

"I'm not stupid, the one wearing the red armor is the chief general? I'm afraid your general Dugu Zhaorong has changed into the armor of ordinary cavalry and is hiding in which queue on the left and right? I won't..."

Just as he was about to make a decision, he saw the red armor knight in the middle of the opposite rear suddenly took off his helmet, and the long hair of the shawl fell down, revealing an excellent face.

"What? Dugu Zhaorong is really there? Didn't he hide among the charge teams on both sides?"

After he knew Dugu Zhaorong's real location, he only had what his general said before the battle:
"Catch Dugu Zhaorong alive, and he will be directly promoted to two ranks."

As soon as his eyes were red, he didn't care about the charge on both sides of the enemy. They had an absolute advantage in the number of cavalry, and the opponent's formation was only forced to split with them in a short period of time.

Now there is the best opportunity in front of him, that is to go straight to the enemy line in front and capture Dugu Zhaorong, the commander of the dawn army alive.

"Rush! Except for those who were stopped by the enemies on both sides, the others kept their formation and went straight to the enemy's main general!"

Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice was particularly loud, and almost all the cavalry who were charging on the plain heard these words.

The cavalry of the Izumo Kingdom also saw Dugu Zhaorong with long brown hair riding on a horse. Hearing this roar, they all rushed forward as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Dugu Zhaorong naturally also heard this roar, and was so frightened that he threw his helmet on the ground, and quickly ordered to turn around and run away. With their escape, the red armored knight beside him also blew the horn to retreat in a panic.

"Haha, the little lady was scared away! Chase me!"

Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Izumo Kingdom were even more excited and started chasing them while clamoring.

However, the Dawnbreaker cavalry on both sides were uncharacteristically uncharacteristic when they heard the retreat horn, and did not drop their helmets and armor and retreat in the opposite direction.

Instead, he quickly accelerated his charge to both sides of the plain and was ready for battle.

The generals of the Izumo country's rear camp naturally also saw the scene of Dugu Zhaorong throwing his helmet and fleeing. Although it was enjoyable to watch, he always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, seeing the change of the dawn army, he immediately felt bad, but he couldn't do anything at this time.

Blow the retreat call?The situation on the battlefield was a big advantage for them. The enemy general was so frightened that he dropped his helmet and fled. At this time, even if the retreat call could call back the assault troops in front, the morale would plummet.

It is obviously no problem to go straight to the local general.

Just as he was hesitating, the cavalry on both sides finally met hand to hand.

Although the main general of the Lixiao army ran away, the assault troops on both sides did not have the slightest influence, and their momentum was still very strong.

After seeing that situation, the cavalry on the Izumo side had a subconscious thought in their hearts.

That is to strive to lean towards the middle of the team, so as not to touch the opposing cavalry as much as possible, and you can also participate in the pursuit of the enemy's main general.

The cavalry, of course, like to chase and support the most, rather than confronting the enemy cavalry head-on, as the casualties will be very tragic.

This situation led to the fact that the Izumo Kingdom's Long Snake Formation was on the way to charge, the closer to the middle part, the denser the cavalry, and the closer to the two sides, the looser the cavalry.

Even the long snake array has become not as long as before.

The two cavalry teams with sharp knives on the left and right of the Xiaoxiao Army faced the loose cavalry on both sides of the Long Snake Formation, and the result was self-evident.

The next moment, after a tragic cavalry collision, looking around, among the many fallen cavalry, only a few were in silver-white armor, and most of them were cavalry from the Izumo country.

Although they are not dominant in numbers, the elite cavalry on the Dawn Army's side are much better in terms of armor strength and weaponry. Coupled with the previous reasons, after this hedge, it is obvious that the Dawn Army has won.

However, they only washed away the loose troops on both sides of the long snake formation. As long as the large number of main troops in the middle were not scratched by swords and guns, they didn't stop, and even accelerated across the plain.

No one cared about the comrades stopped by the dawn army on both sides. They only had eyes on the fleeing horses in front of them, and of course the people above them.

Because relying on less than a hundred horses and cavalry on both sides of the dawn army, it would be a dream to directly attack the base camp behind them.

So even if the two wings were washed away, the cavalry on both sides of the dawn army could only turn back to protect their general.

This back and forth also gave them enough time to chase Dugu Zhaorong and the others.

The general on the Izumo side saw that the Akatsuki Army on both sides returned to pursue after defeating the two wings of their cavalry camp, and did not rush to their camp, so they immediately ordered the whole army to advance.

If you don't advance at this time, then your main cavalry will be farther and farther away from your own camp, and the distance of charging and attacking will also exceed expectations.Even if he could kill or capture the opponent's general, it would still cause a lot of casualties.

So as a last resort, the whole army can only move forward and close the distance with their own cavalry. Even if there is good news from the cavalry in front, they can take advantage of the situation and go straight to Fengping City.

At this time, Changqing Slope, due to its terrain, the people down the slope could not see what happened on Pingyan Plain, but could vaguely hear the sound of horseshoes rushing and the chaotic shouts of killing.

Not long after, at the junction of Changqing slope top and Pingyanyuan, a red figure riding a red armor appeared, with long brown hair blowing back with the wind.

Followed by two identical knights in red armor and several knights in silver and white armor.

Dugu Zhaorong looked at the Evergreen Slope in front of him, it was not a steep slope, the road in the middle was not wide, and there were tall weeds and dense bushes on both sides of the road.

Without any pause, after rushing out of Pingyanyuan, the few of them continued to gallop down the not-so-wide avenue of Changqingpo, kicking up dust along the way.

Dugu Zhaorong didn't expect at this time that the opponent's horse could run so slowly, she had already slowed down a lot, and the opponent hadn't caught up yet.

Not long after, the cavalry captain of the Izumo Kingdom was the first to rush out of Pingyanyuan. After seeing a few people fleeing down the slope ahead, he greeted them and continued to catch up without any hesitation.

Due to the limited width of the only road on this evergreen slope, it can only accommodate five or six knights walking side by side at the same time, and the bush horses on both sides are almost impossible to pass through.This also caused the blockage of the cavalry camp on the Izumo country.

It was okay at the beginning, but at the point of interruption, a large number of cavalry had already blocked the edge of Pingyanyuan and Changqingpo, waiting for the cavalry in front to go first.

The cavalry captain who took the lead suddenly felt that there were fewer and fewer comrades in arms around him. Looking back, the densely packed cavalry descended from the slope one after another. If they were ambushed at this time, it would be...

Before he could finish his thinking, he saw dozens of crossbow bolts shot out from the bushes and weeds on both sides of the Changqingpo road that he had passed before, and the direction was the middle section where their cavalry team was densest.

In an instant, these dozens of crossbow bolts penetrated the interrupted cavalry, and the entire dense cavalry team seemed to collapse from the middle at this time. Just a dozen crossbow bolts would not cause such lethality, but the crossbow bolts After the cavalry or horse that was shot fell to the ground, it caused a second injury to the companions who were running behind, tripping the horse.

Seeing this situation, the Cavalier Captain's eyes were tearing apart, he turned his head and looked ahead, looking at Dugu Zhaorong, who was getting closer and closer to him, with cold killing intent in his eyes.

"Dugu Zhaorong, don't let me catch you! I will make your life worse than death." The knight captain knew that he had been caught, but now there is no way out. Only by catching Dugu Zhaorong can he make a comeback .

Dugu Zhaorong, who was "running away" ahead, was also taken aback by his sudden yell. When he looked back, it turned out that the soldiers of the Fifth Division hiding on both sides of the road had successfully ambushed.

There is no doubt about the degree of damage the dawn crossbow can do to cavalry.

However, the number of their dawn crossbows is still too small. Now it seems that the cavalry of the Izumo country are out of touch, but you must know that their number is too great. After clearing the injured cavalry soon, they will continue to charge .

More than a dozen Daybreak Crossbows fired several rounds of ambushes in succession, causing a large number of casualties to the cavalry of the Izumo Kingdom.

And the knight captain was about to catch up with Dugu Zhaorong and the others. There was a turning point in the road ahead, and the knight captain decided to catch up with them after passing there.

Judging from the speed of the chase along the way, Dugu Zhaorong and the others' riding skills are not very good, and they were chased so close by him, so they are more confident in catching up with them on this detour.

He looked at the subordinates who followed him all the way and said:

"Try not to line up too wide, it's better to line up, and there is a sharp detour ahead."

"Yes!" The several cavalrymen who were walking side by side immediately followed suit.

Just after Dugu Zhaorong and the others rode through the detour, the cavalry captain saw a cold light flashing across the grass beside the detour.

Immediately screamed badly!

At the same time, Zhang Sheng, who was observing in the weeds, immediately said, "It's now!"

Zhen Xiaofan had already fully pulled the Daybreak Crossbow, upon hearing Zhang Sheng's words, he immediately let go of his right hand that was holding the crossbow string tightly.

There was a "bang", and the huge crossbow shot out, flying straight towards the cavalry captain who was coming to the front.

At this moment, the cavalry captain finally understood what the cold light was. It was the arrow of the giant crossbow that was slightly exposed outside the weeds and refracted under the sunlight.
