"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1145
The light dispelled the darkness, and the surrounding ancient wood wolf vines in the dark forest were gradually seen clearly.
The exhausted Northern Army cavalry extinguished their torches, and they were drowsy on their jolting horses as they marched through the night.
The order to rest has not yet been handed down, but many exhausted Northern Army cavalry have stopped advancing, feeding water and fodder to the horses by the streams in the forest.
For these Northern Army cavalrymen, war horses are their loyal partners. They can bear fatigue, but they also take special care of their war horses.
The exhaustion of the march made the cavalry of the Northern Army look sluggish and completely lost their previous radiance.
"Send the order to go down and rest in place."
"Order the scout Qingqi to investigate the situation of the bandit army."
Li Yuanqing, deputy marshal of the rebel army and horses, saw that the loose Northern Army cavalry were exhausted, so he also gave an order to rest.
The cavalrymen of the Northern Army dismounted one after another as if they had received an amnesty, took off their saddles, and prepared to rest.
The occasional neighing and buzzing of war horses sounded in the forest, and some scouts trotted along the forest path and rushed forward, the horseshoes splashing dead branches and rotten leaves.
A team of dozens of scouts trotted through the woods, and soon broke away from the main force, and their surroundings became quiet again.
The sound of horseshoes alarmed the birds in the forest, and the sound of fluttering kept ringing, without any abnormalities.
"what is that?!"
When this team of scouts from the northern army hadn't gone far, they suddenly reined in their horses.
I saw more than 30 corpses lying on the trail in the forest. The clothes belonged to their northern army. This undoubtedly made them vigilant. They drew their swords and held their lances tightly. Longbow was on alert.
"It's from the eighth team!"
Under the signal of the general of the scouts, a Northern Army cavalry rode up to the corpses, and quickly recognized the dead as another team of scouts.
"Retreat!"
The scout cavalry general looked around and felt that the atmosphere was quiet and weird. He raised his right hand high and gave the order to retreat.
"Phew!"
But as soon as his words fell, a spiked arrow flew into the air, and then pierced through the scout general's throat with a puff, and a large stream of blood gushed out along the arrow.
"Plop¡ª¡ª"
The scout from the Northern Army shook his body, and then fell off his horse.
"There are enemies!"
The northern army scouts and light cavalry also shouted one after another, but the arrows kept coming from all directions. Although they tried their best to block, they all fell into a pool of blood soon.
These Northern Army scout cavalry were all shot and killed by arrows, just like their other team, they were ambushed.
Many Qinghe army scouts in black uniforms appeared from the bushes and dead leaves around the forest path. Their eyes were cold and cold, and their sharp sharp blades stabbed down fiercely. As a result, several Northern soldiers struggling on the ground were injured. soldiers' lives.
After killing the scout light cavalry of the Northern Army, this team of Qinghe Army scouts crept towards the resting place of the Northern Army's large troops.
Not long after this team of Qinghe army scouts left, dense numbers of Qinghe army soldiers appeared in the forest. They walked silently and quickly through the forest, exuding a chilling air invisibly.
At the same time, in several other directions, there were also densely packed Qinghe Army soldiers led by officers at all levels, encircling the Northern Army cavalry.
At this moment, the Northern Army cavalry who were resting by a stream in the forest did not realize that danger was approaching them.
Several Northern Army cavalry were washing their faces in the stream when they suddenly saw the color of the stream turn red.
"It seems to be bloody water." An experienced veteran picked up the water and smelled it, and smelled a bloody smell.
A Northern Army cavalry raised his head and looked up the stream, seeing the red blood flowing down from the stream.
"Why did the water turn red?"
"what happened?"
A large number of cavalry and war horses gathered by the stream. Seeing the change of color of the stream, many people stood up and talked a lot.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
At this moment, there was a rush of horseshoes on the upper reaches of the stream, and a guard sentry galloped forward on the horse, and shouted at the top of his voice.
"Phew!"
But the sentry didn't run very far when he was shot by an arrow, rolled off his horse, and fell headlong into the stream.
After seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Northern Army who were washing their faces by the stream also changed their faces, and went to get the weapons beside the horses one after another.
"Ang woo¡ª¡ª"
The warning horn sounded, and the cavalry of the Northern Army who were resting in the surrounding forest also stood up in bewilderment, not knowing what happened.
"The bandits, the bandits are coming!"
"Ready to fight!"
The officers of the Northern Army were shouting hoarsely, and the resting Northern Army cavalry was also in a mess.
When the cavalry of the northern army were panicking to saddle their horses and get their weapons, in the forest around them, densely packed Qinghe army sprung up like mushrooms after rain.
These light infantry of the Qinghe Army walked like flying, they leaped quickly in the forest, and rushed towards the Northern Army cavalry by the stream.
"Shhhhhhh!"
Many cavalrymen of the Northern Army had just put their saddles back on their horses, and before they climbed up, the penetrating crossbow arrows pierced their bodies, and then fell to the ground unwillingly.
The light infantry of the Qinghe Army were as fast as lightning, and they appeared suddenly. The crossbowmen rushed to the front, shooting at the cavalry of the Northern Army, followed by a group of sword and shield soldiers, densely packed.
Many northern troops in the fringes were knocked to the ground by crossbow arrows without even getting on their horses.
"Kill!"
The shouts of mountains and tsunami rang out from all directions in the forest. The infantry of the Qinghe Army in black uniforms rushed from all directions.
The cavalry of the Northern Army were already exhausted after a night of marching, and they were suddenly attacked by the strong troops of the Qinghe Army, and they were immediately smashed to pieces by the Qinghe Army.
The thorny bushes and ancient wolf vines in the forest restricted the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the northern army, but had little effect on the infantry of the Qinghe army.
These Qinghe Army soldiers belonging to the Guards Corps, based on a five-man combat group as the basic combat unit, were like wedges, embedded in the Northern Army cavalry at the fastest speed.
More than 50,000 northern army cavalry were scattered in the forest for several miles to rest and were suddenly attacked from all directions. They were cut apart by the Qinghe army before they even knew the enemy's main attack direction.
"Where did the bandits come from? Why didn't our scouts and sentries warn us!"
Li Yuanqing, deputy marshal of the rebel army, was also stunned when he saw the soldiers of the Qinghe army jumping out and killing them in the surrounding forest.
They took a detour to raid the frontline headquarters of the Qinghe Army, but who knew they were ambushed instead.
"Marshal, there are too many thieves, they must have come prepared, retreat quickly!"
Seeing the cavalry of the Northern Army constantly being knocked to the ground by the flying Qinghe Army infantry, swords, lights, swords and shadows in the forest, people clamoring and horses neighing, quickly turned into a battlefield of melee.
Some generals of the Northern Army also know that their cavalry is not suitable for fighting in the forest, and they can only be beaten passively here, so it is recommended to leave the battlefield and evacuate immediately.
