C285 (2/2)
With bitter faces, the Korean Army Soldiers had no choice but to turn their horses and follow Yan Liang into the forest. Some of the Korean Army Soldiers s who had already fallen asleep didn't know what was going on, but they were led away by the other soldiers by the horses and turned away muddle-headedly.
Although it was only ten kilometers, the people and horses were still tired, so they had to run for more than an hour. Just as they were about to reach the forest, they suddenly saw a sky full of snow fog rising from the valley. Immediately after, more than ten thousand Gauguin cavalry rushed out of the valley.
”This is really over.” Not only Wu Dun, practically all of the Korean Army Soldiers s had given up all hope. Even the soldiers who were sleeping woke up at this moment. Yan Liang who was always self-confident, suddenly tensed up. After running and fighting, he was also greatly exhausted. Without physical strength, even the best of martial arts would be useless.
Cui Cheng, who was approaching, was also greatly shocked. He absolutely did not expect that Chinese cavalry would actually return to kill him. He had always thought that the Chinese cavalry must have found a place to hide or was even trying to escape. Therefore, when the Han army suddenly appeared in front of him, he was at a loss of what to do. He quickly raised his spear and shouted, ”Assemble into a formation and prepare to charge!”
Almost at the same time, Yan Liang also pulled out the long knife s from his waist. Since there was already no retreat, he could only fight. He pointed his long knife towards the sky and used all of his strength to shout: ”Brothers, we are unrivalled cavalry soldiers, even if we die, we will die on the way to charge. ”Brothers, come and kill me …”
”Kill …”
The remaining eight thousand odd Chinese cavalry s roared and pounced towards the Gaoguellian. These roars were not only for the sake of carrying the burden, but also to drive away the sleepiness and encourage each other. Even though they were extremely tired, even though their war horses were weak, they still raised their long knife in front of the god of death.
”Kill …”
Gauguin cavalry, who similarly had no way out, also shouted and pounced towards Chinese cavalry. Almost like the Han Army, they did not close their eyes for an entire day and night. They first ran, then chased after each other. However, they lacked two battles, so their physical strength was not much better.
”Boom …”
The two exhausted mages finally crashed into each other, causing a thick mist of blood to rise. In a moment, in this snowy field near the valley, he heard the tragic cries of the war horses and the miserable cries of the humans. Countless heads flew in the air and numerous war horses were knocked to the ground. The vast snowfield instantly turned red.
The soldiers of both sides held the long knife s horizontally and stretched forward as far as they could. They no longer had the strength to chop, and could only rely on the charging horses to split the enemy's body. There was no attack, nor was there any evasion. Whether it was killing or being killed, it all depended on luck.
More soldiers fell from their horses. Some were chopped off, some fell from their horses, and some were physically weak. They were severely injured by the fall, and immediately afterwards, the horses' hooves lashed down on them. After a few sounds of wailing, they turned into mincemeat in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yong, who was like Yan Liang, was also completely exhausted now. He only mechanically brandished his long knife, instinctively slashing at the incoming Gaoguellian s one after another. The horse under him forced its way forward, leaving clouds of blood behind.
A Gauguin cavalry general rushed over, his sinister face looking like an evil ghost, the spear in his hand thrusted straight towards Yan Liang, and he was just about to strike Yan Liang. As the saying goes, one inch long, one inch strong. Yan Liang could only move his body to the right, raise his blade with his left hand, and then, thrusted his spear towards the sky.
Almost at the same time, Yan Liang stretched out his right hand. Since he did not have the strength, he just extended the long knife out. The two warhorses passed by him. The Gaoguanli officer did not have enough time to dodge as Yan Liang's long knife pierced into his body. Even though the leader was dressed in armor, the long knife still pierced through. However, the strong rebound made Yan Liang's right hand turn numb, and the long knife almost fell out of his hands.
The Chinese cavalry's killing array flew past, causing Yan Liang to turn his head over. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and frowned. In just one charge, there were only five thousand soldiers left under his command. That was to say, three thousand of his brothers had fallen on the path of this charge.
”Damned Gaoguellian!” Yan Liang cursed fiercely, flames almost spitting out of his eyes. Normally, he would have attacked in a fit of rage, but today, the soldiers were too tired. Even he himself was too tired to charge again.
”Master Sima, let's retreat.” Just then, Wu Dun ran over to his side, with blood still dripping down from his face. He wiped his face, which immediately became a mess. He smiled and helplessly shook his head. ”Brothers, we can't hold on much longer. Let's retreat into the forest.”
