Chapter 278 Bloody Battle in the Canyon
The urgent sound of horns in the distance woke up the ten thousand Geluolu soldiers hiding in the canyon from their sleep, and Sa Lei was also woken up by the soldiers. Hearing that there was an enemy situation, he immediately ordered: "It must have been discovered by the Tang army." , order the army to line up immediately and rush out of the valley!"

The chief gave the order, and ten thousand Ge Luolu soldiers got up and lined up one after another, raised torches, and illuminated the canyon like daylight.

The canyon where they camped was relatively open and several miles wide, but it was surrounded by cliffs, and there was no second exit, so they could only rush out from the front of the canyon.

However, if Ge Luolu's army abandoned their horses, the soldiers could go over the mountain, but letting the nomads give up their horses would be tantamount to cutting off their legs. How could that be possible?

After the team was assembled, Sare ordered a commander: "Reqianda, lead your men to open the way ahead, no matter who you meet, kill them all, and rush out of the valley for me!"

"Follow the order!"

The commander waved his hand and shouted: "All my subordinates follow me!"

He led a thousand cavalry to start suddenly, and rushed out of the valley like the wind
Soon, Tang Jun, who was about five miles away from them, heard the sound of galloping horseshoes, rumbling like thunder, getting closer and more thrilling.

Li Ye immediately shouted: "Bowmen, get ready!" The three thousand crossbowmen were divided into three groups, with 1000 people in each group, and they raised their crossbow arrows together, ready to shoot three times.

The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and the stone wall was gradually illuminated by the flames to dark red. The enemy army came, and just two hundred steps ahead, black cavalry appeared. Li Ye shouted: "Shoot the arrow!"

A thousand crossbow soldiers fired, and a thousand crossbow arrows flew into the air, shooting densely like raindrops at the galloping cavalry. In the dark, the cavalry was caught off guard, screaming, people turned on their backs, and countless cavalry and horses were shot down. A large area was extinguished on the ground, but the cavalry behind did not stop and continued to gallop.

The crossbow arrows of the second group of thousands of soldiers shot out immediately. This time, the Ge Luolu cavalrymen were prepared and hid under the horses' bellies one after another. Although many horses were still shot down, the casualties of the soldiers were reduced by more than half.

"Crossbow arrows shoot flat!" Li Ye shouted.

The third group of thousands of soldiers changed to flat shooting. In the narrow valley, flat shooting is much more lethal than projectile shooting. Projection is from top to bottom, and there is only one chance to kill the enemy. on the ground.

But flat shooting is different. The arrow has more than one chance to kill the enemy. Even if the cavalry in front dodges the arrow, the cavalry behind may not be able to dodge it. As long as it is within the effective killing range, an arrow has many times Chance.

The dense arrows shot out like a storm, and this time the effect was remarkable. The arrows were too dense, the valley was narrow, and the cavalry had no way to dodge. Pieces of cavalry screamed and fell down.
The enemy cavalry continued to charge forward, but they were shot by three thousand crossbowmen in turn. After only three rounds of nine thousand crossbow arrows, most of the thousand cavalry suffered casualties. back to flee.

More than 700 Ge Luolu cavalry were shot down in a valley more than 100 steps long. Many soldiers climbed up, but were shot and killed by crossbowmen. The valley was full of blood.

At this time, Sare arrived with 5000 cavalry. When Sare heard that the entrance of the valley was blocked by crossbowmen, he was furious. He turned around and ordered: "The infantry of the [-]th team rushed forward, and the cavalry followed!"

Not all Ge Luolu people have shields, the 5000th team has shields, and the infantry rushing up with the shields can cover the cavalry charge behind.

This is indeed a good way to deal with the crossbowmen of the Tang army.

"Ugh-"

The horns of Ge Luolu's army sounded again, this time there were no torches, and there was no rushing horseshoes, and there were waves of neatly running footsteps in the darkness.

Pei Xiu whispered to Li Ye: "The enemy seems to have changed their tactics!"

Li Ye nodded. The opponent's cavalry could not break through, so they changed to infantry, most likely holding a shield.

"Heavy armored infantry ready!"

Li Ye yelled, and a bright line was drawn across the Mo Dao formation, and the cold light shone suddenly, and five hundred heavy armored infantry stood in line like a mountain.

The enemy army finally appeared, indeed it was a mass of shield infantry, more than a thousand of them rushed up to Taniguchi.

It was the first time they faced the heavy armored infantry, and they didn't understand the strength of this army at all. When they saw Taniguchi, the hundreds of people running in front shouted, rushed up at a faster speed, brandished their spears, and tried to break through a gap.

The two armies collided with each other, and the sharp Mo Dao instantly cut off the enemy's spear and split the shield, followed by a bloody slaughter. The head was split in half, the body was cut off at the waist, blood splattered, blood mist Diffuse, the soldiers at the back didn't react at all, they kept charging forward and were constantly beheaded.

Until two or three hundred people were killed, the strong stench and terrifying killing finally made the infantry wake up, and they turned around and ran for their lives in horror, but they couldn't escape at all, and the valley behind was blocked by dense cavalry.

The heavy armored infantry marched forward step by step, advancing like a wall, chopping melons and vegetables all the way. Wherever they passed, the Ge Luolu infantry were chopped into pieces, and the cries, pleadings, and screams resounded through the valley.

"Fire arrows!"

A commander gave an order, and Ge Luolu's cavalry shot thousands of arrows, jingling at the heavy armored infantry, but Yiyi had no effect at all, and did not shoot down a single heavy armored infantry.

Heavy armored infantry are impenetrable to arrows and swords. There is only one way to kill them. First let them stand alone, and the cavalry will trap them with flying ropes and drag them down. , the spear can assassinate them from below.

Therefore, the heavy armored infantry all fight in a collective formation, just to prevent singles from being overthrown by the enemy.

A thousand Ge Luolu infantry were quickly killed, and then it was the turn of the cavalry behind, which was led by Sare's third son, Lodar.

Lodar was also a fierce character. Seeing the sharpness of the opponent's saber array, he shouted, "Throw the torch over!"

Hundreds of horsemen yelled and threw torches one after another. Countless torches were thrown at the heavy armored infantry, but the heavy armored infantry remained motionless. The torches hit their bodies and fell to the ground. Instantly off.

But the momentary light also allowed Lodar to see Tang Jun's loopholes. On the far right, Tang Jun's numbers were not enough to fill the valley.

There was a gap on the far right, and Lodar pointed his mace and yelled, "Break out from the far right!"

Hundreds of Ge Luolu cavalry rushed towards the gap on the far right.

Li Ye was commanding the battle from behind, and he could see clearly, and he also shouted: "The spearmen block the leftmost gap!"

It was too late to wait for the spearmen of the Tang army to attack, and the cavalry rushed to the gap. Li Ye rushed up in a hurry,
Three spears stabbed at Li Ye at the same time, Li Ye swung his lance and slashed, 'Crack! The three spear shafts were cut off at the same time, and then a cold light flashed, three heads flew up, three headless corpses sprayed blood, and before the corpses fell off the horse, Li Ye pierced through the gap and stabbed more than ten spears in an extremely fast manner. Yi Lunbi, the five cavalry behind screamed one after another, and the corpses fell off their horses one after another.

Eight war horses blocked the gap. At this time, hundreds of spears from the Tang army rushed up, and the sharp spears blocked the gap one by one.

Only then did Li Ye retreat, hang the long lance on the saddle bridge, draw out the bow and arrow, and his eyes fixed on Lodar, who was urging the cavalry loudly to charge, and Li Ye had just discovered that this person was the leader.

It was just the attitude of the cavalry that blocked him. At this moment, the enemy cavalry dispersed, and the leader appeared again, just eighty steps away.

Li Ye strung the strings, drew the bow like a full moon, and shot out an arrow. The arrow was extremely powerful and extremely fast. In the chaos, Lodar was completely unprepared and said, "Pfft! 'An arrow shot into the temple, and the tip of the arrow came out from the other side with flesh and blood.

With a scream, Lodar turned over and fell off his horse, and the cavalry around were in chaos.

At this time, the heavy-armored Modao formation began to show its power.

Five hundred heavy armored infantry marched forward, and countless cavalry retreated in horror. They could all see clearly, a cold light flashed, and the man and the horse were split in half, followed by another horizontal slash, and the body became distorted when it fell to the ground. into several paragraphs.

Human heads were chopped off one by one, plasma sprayed out from the neck cavity of the headless corpse, even many heads were chopped off, white brains splashed everywhere.

The mountain-like human wall pushed forward, and they were like demons who came out of hell, wielding rows of long, gleaming knives to kill and invincible everything. In front of them, people and horses were chopped into pieces by the long knives.

All the Ge Luolu cavalry are actually ordinary herdsmen. Where have they seen such bloody killings? Not wanting any more, he jumped off the horse in desperation, and crawled out from the gap between the horse's legs to escape for his life.
