Chapter 629: Torture
Chapter 629: Killing
The wind was whimpering, and the lieutenants came and went like the wind, and disappeared with the sound of horse hooves, and suddenly lost their traces.
At this time, the Shenwu Army finally had a chance to breathe and quickly lined up a small slope. The Shenwu Cavalry patrolled the periphery. In a while, she was still in shock. Seeing the burning camp, Li Dan's face had become ferocious.
This revenge must be avenged.
But what is confusing now is where the Song army went and will it still appear?
The cold wind blew, and the Shenwu Army was like a peeled egg, shaking in the cold wind. It was just now that it ran too fast. Although it was wearing leather boots, it was already filled with snow and soaked in it. It was cold and cold, wearing cold leather armor, holding a biting weapon, and spitting white mist in big mouths.
Half an hour passed, everyone's bodies had become stiff, and some people's hands and weapons were even stuck together. When they were pulled away, their skin was blooming and flesh was blurred.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves came out, which was in the north direction. There was no need to give an order. The cavalry on the periphery had already crossed over to intercept the attack. The Shenwu cavalry rode into the night without hesitation, and thrust out the spear towards the source of the sound.
Then, there was another horse hooves, and the Shenwu Army was in an uproar. This time, it was in the east direction. The horse hooves were loud and loud. They stepped on the snow and rumbled.
Someone realized that this was the majority of the Song army, but the Shenwu Cavalry had disappeared into the darkness and had lost the guards of the cavalry and had to rely on infantry.
In the dark night, figures appeared one by one, and war horses rushed over. The captain did not draw his sword, but bent his longbow and wandered around the periphery of the Shenwu Army. The feather arrows shot out overwhelmingly and landed in the Shenwu Army's queue. In an instant, dozens of people fell to the ground.
No one knew how many Song army had come. He saw hundreds of steps away, countless cavalry shadows were circling around the Shenwu Army. After releasing the bowstring, the arrows flew into the Shenwu Army very quickly with the help of the wind. In order to prevent the cavalry from rushing to the formation, the Shenwu Army had to set up the queues in a dense manner, but the dense team just helped the Song army with great help. Every arrow went down, there was a wail, and someone would fall down with his chest or head at any time.
"Call back!"
The archer of the Shenwu Army pulled the bowstring and began to fight back, but the captain of the Song Army always circled against the wind. When the bows and arrows were shot out, they had almost no lethality, and they were just a strong momentum.
After a while, the cavalry of the Shenwu Army returned, and the rumbling sound of the war horses rang out. The lingering captain of the Song Army withdrew his bow and arrows and pulled his horse into the darkness.
With this raid, the Shenwu Army had already suffered hundreds of casualties, and the Shenwu Army cavalry also lost dozens of people and came back.
The war was so scary. So far, the Shenwu Army had not touched a single hair of the Song army, and it had suffered heavy losses. This kind of cavalry and shooting method made the Shenwu Army unable to use it. Just like a slow-responsive guy, who wanted to punch after being constantly beaten, but found that he could not find the enemy.
The Song people came and went like the wind, and they could appear at any time and in any direction at any time, sometimes dozens of people, sometimes hundreds of people. Once the Shenwu Army suddenly arose, some vassal generals even took the soldiers out of the queue and attacked head-on. Such impulse was really aroused by the Song people's fighting style, and they had to do it.
However, when the lieutenants saw someone leaving the city, they did not take the opportunity to disperse. Instead, they whistled and hid themselves into the darkness.
The Shenwu Army was already disturbed by the sky and the sky. The long night seemed to be unavailable forever. Many people were frostbite. Coupled with the occasional disturbance and sneak attacks, the casualties and injuries had exceeded 1,000, and morale had already fallen to the bottom. No one knew when the Song army would appear next, nor who would be the one who would be the arrow next moment. But so far, the Song army had never given them any opportunity to fight in close combat.
Li Dan was wrapped in a thick cloak and became even more anxious. He called a vassal general and asked him to lead the cavalry to search for the traces of the Song army. This method was certainly good, but now he was blinded. If he continued to waste like this, he was afraid that the entire Shenwu Army would collapse before dawn.
The cavalry of the Shenwu Army immediately dispatched everywhere, but after half an hour, they never came back. Occasionally, a few cavalrymen with arrows appeared, but the news they received was frustrating.
The Song army's fighting style was still the same as the Jin people. Once they encountered it, they immediately retreated and led their bows to shoot from time to time. When the Shenwu cavalry was invincible and planned to return, they suddenly plucked their horses to chase them. They shot arrows behind them. They did not shoot people, but only shot horses. The horse's target was larger. Once they hit, a Song cavalry put away their bows and slashed them with a long sword like the wind, while the rest continued to pursue them.
The Shenwu Cavalry Army was originally dispatched together, but the Song army was only concerned about consuming the military formation here, but they only sent dozens of people to harass them. At this time, they were completely eaten by the Song army. Except for the occasional defeated soldiers who fled back, most of them were either killed or could not find the way back.
Li Dan's face was full of horror. At this time, he was really scared. Could this Shen Ao really want to kill all the people? Isn't he afraid of Daxia's revenge?
Time passed little by little, and the sound of horse hooves like a death talisman was still coming from all directions at any time. At any time, a team of cavalry tore open the night fog, sprinkled a rain of arrows, and then disappeared into the darkness without hesitation.
The morale of the Shenwu Army has fallen to freezing point. The long night, the endless hollow darkness, the raging wind, and the fear of being in danger, are torturing them all the time.
"Mr. Military envoy, it's dawn!" Someone cheered in surprise.
The dark sky ushered in the dawn, but the dawn was just a slight thread, and the entire earth became even darker.
Li Dan breathed a sigh of relief. After a night passed, the Shenwu Army was extremely tired, and the casualties were more than half. If they were intersected at the last minute, this number would be enough to cause the entire army to retreat. Fortunately, it was about to dawn, and the city identified the whole matter and would definitely send people to pick them up. At that time, the Song army would not be worried.
At this moment, just three miles away from the Shenwu Army, the captains of each team began to gather together as if they had already made an appointment. Everyone did not speak. Although the people riding on the horse were exhausted, they were still energetic, and the horses sitting down were a little overwhelmed.
Shen Ao was surrounded by countless people and pulled out the Shangfang sword at his waist. The tip of the sword pointed at the roaring flag and shouted: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The rumbling horse hooves rumbled like thunder, drowned the wind. A thousand iron cavalry rode their horses on the snow field. The horse's cavalry withdrew their bows and arrows, pulled out the long sword at their waists, and the stern tip of the knife broke through the strong wind in the darkness, and a slight sound came from it.
Rumble...
Rumble...
The gate of Longxing Mansion was opened, the suspension bridge was lowered, and a military horse came from the door hole.
At the same time, Li Dan and his Shenwu Army saw a scene, and the knights were galloping at lightning, like hungry wolves, like tigers pounced into the sheep pen, rushing over without hesitation.
This time, it was no longer a loose formation, the formation was tight, and the horse team formed an image of arrows, rushed to the front cavalry, with the long sword in his hand slightly rising, and then a shocking roar broke out.
Unlike the last time, this time it was an obvious storm-formation.
Some generals of the vassal have noticed the abnormality and immediately shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Everyone cheer up."
The Shenwu Army had long lost its energy, and the sparse people began to flee. The overnight consumption had destroyed their courage. The exhausted body would no longer dare to bear the thunder strike.
There were more and more people fleeing, and they couldn't stop drinking. Even some vassal generals were shocked by the terrifying knights. Seeing that there were more and more deserters, they first killed several people and tried to resist stubbornly. Finally, they even joined the fleeing team.
In front of the cavalry, escaping will only die faster.
Everyone understands this truth.
But...when courage is lost, everyone will hold a lucky chance - maybe I escape faster than others.
The Shenwu Army did not organize a decent formation at all. Even if it was organized, the cavalry with full fighting spirit and dense formation could tear a hole between them.
The entire army collapsed.
The cavalry rushed into the residual formation with unstoppable force, and then countless people were knocked away, and blood rained all over the sky.
The war horses were running wildly, and the Confucian sword kept slashing down. The dawn had already bloomed. The sky was extremely clear. However, in this suburb, there were corpses everywhere, and blood flowed into a river. The blood melted the ice and snow, flowing into the river not far away.
The horns were connected, and the low sound was not a signal of withdrawal, but a prelude to the willful killing. The formation of the cavalry began to disperse, pursuing the escaped enemy at will. Two teams of cavalry even surrounded the flanks and drove the deserters into the pre-prepared route. The cavalry behind them rushed and killed them all the way, and all the way, with lost corpses everywhere.
The Shenwu Army could no longer bear it. The fleeing people left their weapons and shouted with all their hearts: "We are willing to surrender... we are willing to surrender!"
The cavalrymen just roared past them. Seeing this, more people knelt down and begged to surrender.
The exhausted cavalry finally stopped chasing them, drove all the prisoners together, then counted the results, and then Li Dan was pulled out. A powerful captain of Kong Wu pulled his hair and dragged it all the time. Li Dan shouted for help, but no one in the Shenwu army stood up, all kneeling straight, with fear left in his eyes.
Drag Li Dan to the edge of the riverside, Shen Ao came over with a horse. When Li Dan saw him, he was stunned at first, then begged for mercy loudly, and said, "I am the King of Xixia Sect, the King of Sect... Shen Ao, you can't kill me... can't..."
Shen Ao stroked the mane of the war horse, looked at him coldly, and smiled at him: "I have given you a chance. You didn't cherish it well. Unfortunately, God will not give you a second chance. So, you should rest assured to go on the road. I will take care of your wife and children. Drag him over and trample on him to death with a horse!"
Li Dan was dragged to a wilderness. Under the gaze of all the prisoners, hundreds of lieutenants riding on war horses were ready. A group of people stepped over. Li Dan neighed and howled, and then another group rushed over. The sound of bone shattering was inaudible, but the shrill scream echoed for a long time.
Hundreds of riding riders stepped on Li Dan like a lantern. Li Dan had exhausted his last trace of strength. No bones were broken on his body. He twitched for a moment, and finally stopped moving. There was still an unbelievable look in his pupils.
The sky floated white, Chen Ao looked at the sky and whispered: "The game has just begun!"
