Poor family mother and son

Chapter 80 Are you still fighting?
The man from the Virat tribe didn't have a chance of surviving.He has become the dinner of the giant wolf.In a rage, King Vos ordered his troops himself, and he wanted to avenge his son!
In this battle, the number of casualties on both sides was about the same.When Ma Da came to visit Hong Liang, he reported the exact figures: "Uncle, 560 people were killed, 830 people were injured, and 370 people were seriously injured."

"Oh." Hong Liang sighed, but didn't speak.The 370 seven people were seriously injured, and I don't know how many lives can be saved.On the front line where there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine, minor injuries often turn into serious injuries, and serious injuries turn into death.They are all raised by their parents, whose life is not precious?
Seeing his uncle sigh, Ma Ma knew what his uncle was thinking.When he first stepped into the barracks, he was also so sad.At that time, although my uncle would also be sad, but never like this.

On the contrary, it was me who had become numb to the number of casualties, thinking that this was maturity and life.But seeing my uncle's current appearance, I thought that maybe when I got older, I would have a new feeling for life.

"Uncle," Ma Da interrupted his uncle's grief, "we have more than 800 more horses! Thoroughbred Voss horses!"

"More than 800 horses? There are so many?" Hong Liang was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, what a bargain! When they ran away, they didn't have time to get on their horses! A large group of horses went to the back mountain to graze before their masters arrived! We found it when a soldier went to the back mountain spring to collect water in the morning."

This is really a big surprise.Daxuan Kingdom is a plain country. Although the land is fertile and easy to cultivate, it is not suitable for producing good horses.Daxuan's best horses are all crosses of horses bought from Voss and local horses over the years.Not only is it not as tall as the Voss horse, but there is also a big gap in endurance.

"Also, uncle, when our soldiers cleaned up the sabers of the Voss, they found that although their knives were very good, their edges were still much worse than ours." As he said, Ma Da put his saber and the seized saber together. All the knives around the head were handed over to Hong Liang.

There was indeed a gap in the cutting edge of the ring head knife. Although it was not deep, it was quite a lot.On the other hand, Ma Da's saber has only shallow cuts.

"It's just that there are too few. If the whole army can replace it with the No. [-] steel of the treasure furnace, it will be amazing!" Ma Da's tone was slightly regretful.

The physical gap with Voss is not easy to make up for. What God gives is what it is, and there is no way to change it.But the knife can be changed.

"It will take time, and the armory workshops and industry departments in various places are rushing to work." Hong Liang comforted: "We can always replace them all. I heard that our mine vein is huge!"

If Chu Qing were contracted to make this knife, it might be faster, but now Chu Qing only supplies iron ingots, and the military workshops in Jizhou can't run out of them.

It was quiet for five consecutive days. The Voss retreated [-] miles and camped, and they never dared to attack again.It is said that their grain and grass are not enough, and the gap is huge.As a result, these soldiers often left the camp to hunt, otherwise they would starve.

People in Voss were worried about food, but Hong Liang was not idle.They made use of that little valley.First, a few trees were cut down and placed across the mouth of the valley, not high enough for the horse to speed up and jump in.Then one trench after another was dug at the bottom of the valley.Then saw the board and put it on, and then cover it with soil.There are ravine traps to ensure that the cavalry who rush in will stumble!

Although the valley is not big, it is definitely possible for the Voss to lose some cavalry.The first battle was too hasty a few days ago, and the battle started almost as soon as we arrived, so we didn't have a chance to do it.Otherwise, so many declared soldiers would not have died that day.

King Vos came with his cavalry, but only twenty thousand men were raised.Although all the people of Voss are soldiers, it is not difficult to bring more troops, but the current season is not right.He needs his people to till food.

The climate in Voss is very complicated, with long winters and large deserts, and they have very little arable land.And they are not good at farming.

The farming methods are also very extensive. Basically, they leave after planting in spring, and come back here in autumn to see how much crops have grown.

This is also related to their geographical environment.They can't stay in one place for a long time. Cattle, sheep and horses will eat up all the turf, and then it will be deserted, and there will be another desert.But they also need food.

On the sixth day, King Voss integrated the two troops together, and more than [-] cavalry came to the mouth of the valley.There was no pre-war mobilization, and he didn't even shout a slogan to avenge the Ninth Prince. He rushed over in such a murderous manner, stirring up dust and sand, rolling in like a sandstorm.

The trees across the valley entrance were out of sight of the Voss cavalrymen at all, and the horses easily crossed with a slight lift of the reins.It's just... the horse didn't fall to the ground, the hooves stepped down, and the boards were either flipped or broken. The cavalry in the lead fell into the tunnel one after another. Before they could climb out, the horses that jumped in behind stepped on them without stopping.

I don’t know how many knights and horses were trapped in the ditches, but the cavalry rushing in at high speed could not be stopped. Even if the reins were tightened to slow down the horses, they would be knocked into the ditch by the horses behind.Until the tunnel is filled with people and horses, the horses behind can continue to charge forward.

Hong Liang and Ma Da, who were standing on the slope behind the valley and preparing for the battle, looked at each other, with the same regret in their eyes—it's a pity.It's a pity they have so many purebred Voss horses.

King Voss was so angry that his eyes were about to burst into flames: "Kill me! Anyone who kills an official will be rewarded with a thousand cattle and sheep! The bigger the official, the more rewards!"

The morale that had been declining was revived again.They rushed up the ramp over the corpses of their companions that filled the tunnel.The entrance was too narrow, and the cavalry had to be squeezed into a formation of long snakes to rush up, but when they rushed up, what awaited them was a rain of arrows.

These arrows are not the same, many of them are Voss' arrows.Shooting their own people with their own arrows, these Voss cavalry don't mention how useless and blocked they are in their hearts!
King Vos also rushed into the valley, closely guarded by his guard and standard-bearers.King Voss raised his hand to stop the procession, shouting, "Fire the arrows!" They had arrows, too, and their cavalry were sharpshooters!

The cavalry shot arrows towards the high place on the back slope.If you rush in, the route is uneven and tortuous, but when you shoot an arrow, the straight-line distance is just enough for one arrow to shoot.What's more, Voss people are strong, and they all use heavy bows with more than two stones!

For a while, arrows rained one after another, and some arrows even collided in the air and fell straight down.Suddenly, the soldiers of Daxuan began to clamor, the drums became louder and faster, and the soldiers became even more excited!

"What's going on?" King Voss asked warily.This just doesn't feel right.

"Report!" A rider rushed back to report: "Their soldiers are shouting, 'The army is reinforced!'"

"Army reinforcements? Why so fast!" King Voss was taken aback!
"Yes, Your Majesty! It's the call for reinforcements!" the rider repeated.

That's right, army reinforcements have arrived. After the 30 army entered the palace, it was divided into two parts, and 10 troops guarded along the road.Another 20 came to the north to help Hong Liang.

After all, Donglun Kingdom is just a tiny place, not much bigger than Jizhou.Their kings are all dead, and they can no longer muster a living force.

But Hong Liang was fighting against the cavalry of the country of Vos with a mere 12 infantry, which was really a death blow.

The knights around King Voss looked at him one after another, and their eyes were clearly asking: Are you still fighting?
