My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 616: Pushing eight hundred miles across

"Quick!"

The messenger cavalry who rushed out from the Carthage military camp was a man in his thirties, wearing half-shoulder leather armor and a white cloth wrapped around his head as a hat. Most of the Carthage army looked like this. The dress is quite easy to identify.

At this time, he had already run for nearly two hundred miles. The horse underneath him was already showing fatigue, and his running speed was getting slower and slower.

After another twenty miles to the southeast, we finally encountered a scout from the North African cavalry cruising nearby.

Later, the messenger cavalry was led to see the commander of the cavalry Hamilcar who was resting his horse in the nearby wilderness, and relayed Hannibal's order to the other party.

Hamilcar was promoted by Hannibal from among the soldiers who surrendered from the Principality of Lofa. Of course, there were political reasons.

It is not easy to dispose of these surrendered soldiers and release them to the people. After all, they are hidden dangers. If someone with evil intentions raises their voice, these soldiers may not follow the opponent in the uprising.

It would be better to take them under his command, form the Carthaginian Legion, and promote some of them to tell the troops below that they would have a good future with the Sacprut Empire or Hannibal.

Hamilcar was one of them, but he was also a capable person and excelled in the cavalry. In just three years, he took the position of the North African cavalry general.

Naturally, he would not disobey Hannibal's orders.

Immediately let the cavalry scattered outside come back, while those nearby took the time to rest.

The sky was bright at noon, and at the end of the connection between the sky and the earth, a black line stretched. An army quickly appeared on the field three miles away, coming in a straight line.

The huge "Lv" tooth flag fluttered in the wind. Four thousand Daxia wolf cavalry slowly walked through the dirt and grass slopes, and there were six thousand Mongolian cavalry on both wings, following in a mighty manner.

The swirling smoke could be faintly seen from two miles away.

The North African Cavalry Corps was gathering the scattered cavalry. However, Hamilcar's order had not yet arrived. On the deserted wilderness, the scout battle had already begun for half an hour. A large number of Mongolian scouts and wolf-riding scouts were hunting wildly. Kill the few North African scouts that were wandering nearby.

The curved red feathers swayed slightly as the horse moved. Lu Bu was riding on the horse, his eyes looking indifferently into the distance. He was shot off the horse by the Mongolian scouts or wolf mounted scouts, and the barbarian scouts were dragged to the ground.

After a while, a scout came back from afar and whispered something in his ear.

Lu Bu nodded silently, hurried his horse forward to the front of the mighty cavalry group, and tightened his grip on the handle of his halberd.

When Fang Tian lifted the painted halberd from the ground and raised it high into the sky, the generals of each cavalry group in the huge slowly marching cavalry group, when they saw the painted halberd, were already shouting: "Everyone... get ready!"

The spears that were hanging diagonally forward on the ground were lowered in pieces with their flat ends pointed forward in the sound of shouts.

A captain of the cavalry ran past the cavalry with a gun under his arm, roaring with all his strength as if his mouth was torn apart.

"Slaughter!"

The next moment, the advancing cavalry slowly formed an array. The charging cavalry did not move. They followed Lu Bu and clamped the handles of their guns, and clamped their feet on the horses' belly.

The horse's hooves accelerated in a slow pace, and gradually accelerated. The next second, the ground roared, and the charging cavalry in the wolf cavalry stirred up countless mud chips.

The iron hooves shook the entire field in an instant, and dust and smoke rose into the sky.

The mighty cavalry advance is like a sea tide rolling away. The bright light pierces through the diffuse smoke and dust. In the first row of the rolling wave, the spears exude a stunning metallic luster. In the roaring hoofbeats, the speed is almost Has been promoted to the peak.

The North African scouts who were chasing the Mongolian scouts and wolf-rider scouts almost fell off their horses when they saw this scene, and rushed towards their main force without daring to stop.

However, at this time, in the wilderness to the south, a large number of North African cavalry were resting their horses. The general Hamilka was sitting on a rock, looking at the messenger cavalry over there who were eating Haisei.

I was shocked when I thought about the news the other party brought about the invasion of Mirantalbe by Selis.

Isn't the opponent's main force closely followed by him?
Where are the troops running to the province of Mirantre?

Is it...

At this moment, a roar suddenly resounded through the crowd, "Selis!" "The cavalry is coming!"

"Hamilcar, cavalry of the Seles!"

The person who can be called Hamilka is a slender, dark man. He and Hamilka fought together in the army of the Principality of Lofa, and saved Hamilka's life on the battlefield.

When Hamilcar was promoted, he took this man with him as his lieutenant.

At this time, as the opponent rushed over on horseback and shouted at Hamilka, figures resting on their horses in the wilderness were mounting their horses in a panic.

Hamilcar galloped on horseback with his sword in hand, looking in the north direction. The vast smoke and dust were approaching, and he shouted in his voice: "Disperse the formation immediately, and the cavalry on the outside will run immediately!"

He rode through the formation on horseback. At present, there were only more than two thousand cavalry around him who could move. The rest were still trapped in the middle, constantly turning the reins to urge the horses to squeeze out.

War comes without warning.

On the field, countless horse hooves galloped past, dust particles rose and swirled, and the distance of two miles was approaching in the blink of an eye. At the front of the galloping, General Selis, dressed in a flower robe, had an indifferent look. He stared at the front and gradually changed in his field of vision. The huge herd of horses can be seen clearly.

"Ha ha……"

Lu Bu grinned, and a low-pitched sneer came from his throat. When the dense cavalry behind him advanced, the Daxia wolf cavalry on the left and right who were not in charge separated from the Mongolian cavalry, and formed three groups with Lu Bu's cavalry in the middle. branch.

When they rushed past a hundred feet and were close to a hundred feet, a rain of arrows shot out from their hands.

The dull air was filled with countless swishing sounds that cut through the sunlight, densely covering the edge of the North African cavalry group. There were already many North African cavalry running away, or the queues dispersed, and the falling arrows The rain didn't have much of an effect.

But there were still dozens of North African cavalry who were nailed and fell to the ground together with their horses. More arrows were still stuck on the ground. At a glance, they looked like weeds growing on the ground.

"Retreat! Get out of the battle!"

Hamilka shouted hysterically in the crowd, but the shaking on the ground became more violent. He looked back and saw a knight on a red horse, leading hundreds of cavalry, coming straight towards them.

The sound of the wildly striding horse's hooves trampling the ground was like a reminder, pressing on everyone's heart.

Especially when facing General Selis on a red war horse, the North African cavalry in front who had no chance to leave seemed to be able to feel the other party burning, and the hot heat waves were hitting their faces.

Ten feet.

The rushing Daxia Wolf Cavalry tightened its spear, Lu Bu raised his arm, and pulled the halberd from the ground, hanging in the air with the dirt.

The wolf riders slashed at the panicked barbarian cavalry on the opposite side. The next second, they swept across the ground and collided with the wolf riders.

Five hundred cavalry stepped on the corpses of barbarians on the ground and charged into the North African cavalry without any formation.

The horses' hooves rolled, and the high-speed charging cavalry thrust a small number of spears at the opposite side, leaving white marks on the thin iron armor, making a grinding sound that was heart-breaking.

The originally chaotic North African cavalry group became even more chaotic.

One by one, the North African cavalrymen who were riding on horseback and trying to escape frantically were strung together by the iron spears thrust at them, and more of them were directly thrown off their horses by the terrifying collision force, and then were hit by huge waves of iron hooves. Trampled to pieces.

Lu Bu, who almost broke into the group of barbarian cavalry alone, flew wildly with his halberd trailing the breath of flames.

Blood spattered on his chain armor, and the North African cavalry around him, whether they had reacted or not, were already rushing towards him desperately.

Then he was knocked off his horse by a painted halberd, and with a sweep, half a fan of flames was brought up, whirling in the air, and with a bang, a North African cavalry company and horse on the opposite side were cut into two pieces.

The cut off halberd was thrown out of the hand, roaring and flying forward, passing through a running North African cavalry, shooting it off the horse's back, and at the same time, it also shot another barbarian running in panic behind. Strung together, they continued to fly two feet without stopping, carrying the bodies of four people before they were inserted into the ground and stopped.

At the same time as the halberd was thrown, Lu Bu on horseback lifted his cloak and pulled out the precious eagle bow from the bow pouch. With the tight sound of the bow strings squeaking, three feather arrows flew out with a whoosh.

Three arrows were fired, and the barbarian cavalry along the way sprayed blood mist, heading straight towards Hamilcar and his adjutant, who had already noticed it.

when!
puff!
when!
Three times in a row, an arrow hit Hamilcar's adjutant, killing him instantly. At the same time, Hamilcar cut off the incoming arrows with a sharp blade in his hand.

The blade also made two gaps at this time.

As Hamilcar, who leads a large cavalry group, his body is like an iron tower and he can split a person's body with a sword, so his bravery is naturally excellent.

He glanced at the edge of the knife, looked forward with a murderous look, roared, and then rode forward to meet it.

The blade was swung away, bringing up the strong wind.

However, before it could be struck, Lu Bu rushed closer in an instant, and with Fang Tianhua halberd in his hand, he struck out first.

Hamilcar's head rushed into the sky dragging a line of blood, and the gushing blood caught the sight of countless people. The tide of cavalry from all directions continued to advance, plowing dozens of bloody traces into the crowd, extending deeper and deeper.

The chaotic North African cavalry saw that their general and adjutants were all killed in battle, and began to flee in large numbers. Some of them, unable to escape, simply dismounted and surrendered.

However, the Mongolian cavalry and Daxia wolf cavalry rushed up and chopped these people to the ground without any words.

In such a scene, there are naturally more people fleeing from the chaotic crowd, all trying their best to surpass the companions in front.

For a time, the mountains and plains were filled with fleeing North African cavalry.

The morale of the military has been broken, and there is basically nothing left to accomplish.

After taking a look at the head that fell back to the ground, Lu Bu pulled the reins and rode forward, raising the bloody halberd again.

His voice was loud: "Keep pushing forward and ignore the defeated barbarians!"

The wolf cavalry and Mongolian cavalry who were still fighting around received the order and turned to run towards the northwest towards another predetermined target.

At this moment, the Carthaginian military camp was also in chaos. The Carthaginian soldiers who rushed out of the simple camp hurriedly formed an array on the field. In their field of vision, a large number of cavalry were approaching.

He saw General Selis, who was leading the front and was wearing silver armor and a large cloak, organizing his formation in a panic.

Hannibal was escorted by his personal guards and stayed away from the military camp. After all, it was extremely dangerous for the commander of an army to get too close to the battlefield.

Just when Hannibal was hurriedly taken away to a safe place, the cavalry rushing from afar did not stop. A small number of elite cavalry named Jululie joined forces with another cavalry named Hubaoqi. Two into one, they crashed directly into the battlefield.

Waves of people were lifted into the air in front of the high-speed charging heavy cavalry, and the black horses in harness were also flying among the crowd. Xiang Yu ran wildly on his horse, surrounded by wailing figures that kept falling, and his laughter was in the wind. Floating in it.

"Haha, so happy!"

"This is how you should treat barbarians!"

In just one stick of incense, the Carthaginian army that had gathered in the field in a hurry was quickly thrown into disarray by heavy cavalry. Soon, Qingzhou Army, Xiliang Army, and thousands of Mongolian light cavalry advanced on the battlefield from the rear.

That morning, more than 30,000 Carthaginian legions, who had been pursuing the Selesians with murderous intent, were killed in the wilderness. The mountains and plains were filled with soldiers running for their lives.

At noon, Lu Bu's cavalry also rushed over, joined Xiang Yu's Julu Lie, and Subotai's five thousand light cavalry continued westward.

The Qingzhou Army and Xiliang Army, numbering tens of thousands, were also marching at a faster pace. Dong Zhuo and Xiahou Dun rode horses in front of and behind the troops to keep the troops moving at a fast pace.

"Where is the troop carrier? Get the soldiers on board immediately!"

Su Chen sat in the ancestral hearse and rushed to the middle of the army's march. He probably felt that the speed was still too slow, so he immediately asked Wu Zixun to ask Han Xin.

He will be thirty years old this year. Twelve years have passed since he started the army at the age of eighteen. From being young and frivolous, and fighting boldly, his temperament as an emperor has gradually become calmer.

Years of marching and fighting, the wind and rain left many marks on his face. Under the sunlight, the cloak behind him was slightly fluttering in the wind, Su Chen looked at Wu Zixun who was flying away.

"This counterattack must be quick. I don't want to give Sakprut a chance to react. At least I have to drag his main force here unable to move!"

Dian Wei and Xu Chu smiled and nodded.

At this time, Wu Zixun rode back. Within a moment, a large number of six-wheeled carriages came from behind, and the carriages were already filled with soldiers from the rear.

In an instant, dozens, hundreds, or thousands of six-wheeled carriages pulled the soldiers swaying along the road trodden by the soldiers and horses in front.

The cavalry in front raced against time to rush westward. Along the way, they encountered Sakprut Empire soldiers and pushed them directly, cutting a bloody path and leaving corpses on the ground.

The banner of Daxia with a white dragon pattern on a black background appeared again on the Central Asian Plateau. This counterattack was like a bolt from the blue, which directly stunned the Sakprut army that had just occupied the northern part of the Central Asian Plateau.

The cavalry from the east counterattacked like lightning, pushing across eight hundred miles from east to west!
Beacon fire, fast horses, and broken troops were all rushing towards Harabitos further west.

When Sakprut received the news over there, it was already the fifth day, and half of the troops stationed here had already withdrawn.
