Chapter 712 The End of the Road
The Eminem River in the Surhan Valley is not too wide, but only about 80 feet, but the water is very rapid and turbulent. The deepest part of the water is about five feet. The river contains a lot of sand and is yellowish brown. At first glance, it looks like the Yellow River, which is smaller. The difference is the Am River. There are many dangerous beaches and canyons in the upper reaches, but most of the lower reaches are shoals. They have not been navigable since ancient times. In addition, nomads are not good at water and do not like to eat river fish. Since then, there have been no fishing boats or ferries. There is no doubt that boating technology can only be described by the word extremely poor. As for rowing technology, it is even worse, nearly a hundred The boat just got into the water. Before rowing far, several of them fell into the waves. The big cannibals on the ship fell into the river like dumplings. After only a few times in the big waves, they were completely swallowed up by the turbulent river. The sad and fierce shouts before death were really creepy.
"Done, continue to row, don't stop!"
Because of the coma before yesterday's Mustafa Ibenyang, Amu River escaped the punishment of defeat. However, as the saying goes, he can avoid the first day of the first lunar month and can't avoid the fifteenth. Last night, the Amu River was called to the Chinese army's tent. After a slap inciting scolding, the heavy burden of leading the troops to cross the river this morning fell unexpectedly. On his head, poor Amuhe is a horse general. He has never been in the water in his life. When the boat moved, he was so frightened. He grasped his hands tightly on the side of the ship. At the sight of the boat around him, he was even more nervous to the extreme. His hands holding the side of the ship made white marks, but his duty was on his body, even if he was afraid. He also had to pretend to be calm and roar tremblingly.
Rowing, rowing again, not to mention that the Amu River has issued a death order. Even if not, it has entered the rapids. In order to save their lives, the great food officers and soldiers can only wave the wood pulp in their hands as much as possible. Of course, this technology is really not flattering. Well, many boats set out together, but they arrived at the river. However, there was already a chaos in the formation. Due to collision or improper operation, nearly ten small boats overturned in the river. Naturally, the soldiers and the heavy loads on the ship were undoubtedly buried in the torrent. The rest were also in chaos. They were swept up by the water and floated straight downstream. After a good toss, finally Nearly half of the boats arrived on the other side. Before the departure, there were less than 500 soldiers left when they arrived on the other side. On the contrary, the character of the Amu River broke out, and there was nothing but being splashed by the big waves.
"Come on, come on, you guys go and look around, and you, move quickly, set up a pile, come on!"
As soon as his feet stepped on the land, Amu River's heart suddenly surged into a sense of steadfastness. He ignored the shock of the military. He shouted and drank. He sent people around to inspect the enemy, and ordered the troops to quickly unload the military supplies on the boat. At the same time, he did not forget to order the erection and set up a rope bridge. The wooden stakes needed are so busy that they can't touch the ground.
The big food army is not good at water, but it still has the ability to build a bridge. The plan is also detailed. More than 30 small boats are tied with long ropes, one end tied to the stern of the ship, and the other end is pulled into the hands of the soldiers on the shore. As soon as they cross the river, they only untied the ropes behind the boat. After the piles stand up in rows, they are tied to the piles, and then The rope bridge is covered with wooden boards, and several suspension bridges can be built. At that time, it will no longer be a dream for the army to cross the river.
"Woo, woo, woo..."
The dream is undoubtedly beautiful, but it is a pity that this kind of beauty is just a colorful soap bubble, which is easy to break. Not waiting for the Great Food Army to launch a formation, a sad horn bursting in the mountains a few miles away. Even if the smoke and dust were rolling up, a large group of Tang officers and soldiers were rushing.
"Quickly, line up along the river and get ready to meet the enemy!"
As soon as he saw the smoke and dust rising in the distance, although he had expected that there would be an ambush for the Tang army, he couldn't help tightening his heart. He didn't dare to be careless. He roared regardless of it and ordered his troops to stop the bridge project as soon as possible.
Before the Great Cannibal Army crossed the river this time, it had expected that there would be an ambush by the Tang army on the other side of the river. They had made a lot of efforts in preparation. Many small boats were specially carried weapons and equipment such as blades, lock armor, bows and arrows, shields, etc. At this time, they heard that the Amu River roared so urgently. How could they be careless? He put down the work in his hand, rushed to the boat carrying weapons, unloaded the weapons and equipment, and quickly put them on. Finally, he rushed to the front of the Tang army and set up an array to meet the enemy. However, he saw nearly 500 cannibals standing in five rows. The first row was shield knives, and rows of waist-high shields like walls. Standing, followed by two rows of swordsmen, followed by two rows of archers. All the officers and soldiers were wearing lock armor, and the formation was tight. At first glance, it was quite a bit like an ancient Roman infantry regiment.
Of course, such a formation of the Great Food Army is just similar but much worse. After all, this set of the Great Food Army is copied from the Eastern Roman Empire, and the troops on the Eastern Front also bought some copycats and copied goods from the western troops according to the gourd. The defense ability is compared with the infantry legions of the ancient Roman Empire. There is a world of difference, but it is still quite effective to defend against the light cavalry raid. Not to mention that the Eastern Front troops have never been rushed by the tribal army in the Eastern Front. As for the effect of dealing with the Tang cavalry, it must be tested.
"The whole army stopped, the army stepped down, and the cavalry army suppressed the front!"
The valley where the Tang army is located is four miles away from the straight line of the river bank, and the landing position of the Great Food Army is farther, but it is not far, and it is not five miles away. For the running war horse, that is, it is more than a quarter of an hour, it will soon appear less than the Great Food Army. At a distance of 300 steps, under the iron-blooded banner, it was Xiao Sanlang, the deputy commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, who rushed to the horse. At this time, the Great Food Army was ready. Xiao Sanlang did not drive the troops to attack directly, but stopped and calmly ordered the general.
Xiao Sanlang's troops and horses are not many. There is only one battalion of troops with a thousand cavalry, but the total force is more than twice as much as the Great Food Army crossing the river. This column is a good formation, which is much more spectacular than the Great Food Army. However, the army is in front, standing in three rows, with more than 800 long guns straight. Pointing to the big army array, the black hole was full of murder, while a thousand cavalry sat firmly on the back of the horse, pressing the handle of the knife with their own hands. Although they were speechless, a murderous atmosphere rose to the sky and went straight up to the sky.
"Attack!"
As soon as the formation was lined up, Xiao Sanlang did not hesitate at all. With a wave of his hand, he was extremely cold.
"Dong Dong Dong..."
General order, the drummer on both sides of each company immediately knocked on the marching drum, and the Tang army, which stood in three rows, began to press forward. Although the speed was not very fast, the momentum was amazing. The neat steps trembled the earth, the sand was flying, and the killing machine suddenly rose.
"Hung the shield array, the archer is ready!"
In yesterday's World War I, Amuhe's department had had enough of muskets. At this time, more than 800 Tang troops raised their guns and pressed forward, and there couldn't help but riots in the array. Seeing this, Amuhe had to roar and issue an order, even if this order actually had no practical significance. After all, there is still three distance between the two sides. A hundred steps away, the poor range of more than 50 steps of the bow and arrow in the hands of the Great Food Army is not possible to threaten the formation of the Tang army. Anyway, the order is an order. Although it is useless, it can still play a role in stabilizing the heart of the army.
Two hundred and fifty steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and fifty steps, one hundred and twenty steps...
The Tang army ignored how alert the Great Food Army was and pushed forward slowly. When it was only about a hundred steps away from the Great Food Army, the drumbeat suddenly changed, and the Tang Army, which was originally walking, stopped. With the orders of the company commanders, the three rows of Tang officers and soldiers began. The performance of shooting.
"Oh, no, no..."
In the face of the Great Food Army that was still not far away, the Tang officers and soldiers would not be polite at all. In a burst of gunshots, the bullets shot at the Great Food Army like a torrent of rain. The poor Great Food Army was caught off guard and was immediately beaten into a mess. The machetes were useless, and the bows and arrows were just decorations. The lock armor can't provide much protection at all. As for the waist-high shield, it can play a role, but if you protect your feet, you can't protect your head. In the face of the Tang army's offensive, it is inevitable that you will die or injured.
"Go, go, go, kill!"
Seeing that standing in place can only be passively beaten. After a long time, it was destined to be the end of the whole army. Amu River was anxious and roared. Regardless of it, he drove his troops forward and tried to have a short hand-to-hand battle with the Tang army.
Amu River's reaction was very fast, but unfortunately it was just accelerating to death. As for the Tang army's rate of fire, not to mention that the cannibal army only ran on two legs, it was galloping with horses, and he didn't want to rush close to the formation of the Tang army under the bullet screen interception. If he didn't order the impact, he could barely support it for more time, but this Rushing, the death and injury immediately increased sharply. The big food officers and soldiers who dared to step forward were all shot and killed on the spot. Even the main general of Amu River could not escape a death, and was shot into a sieve by random gun. On the contrary, some people who were more flexible and fell to the ground in time, which was regarded as escaping from the sweep of bullets. There was not even a cup of tea before and after. At that time, the cannibal army has disappeared. All the officers and soldiers are either lying on the ground or holding their heads and lying on the ground as ostriches. At this point, the cannibal army crossing the river has completely declared its demise...
