Chapter 26 Breaking(1/2)
Judging from the march route of the center army led by Anton, if they want to attack Cordoba, there is only one route they can take.
So Su Cheng decided on the ambush site on their only way, and then urged the army to rush to the ambush site. Finally, he arrived in front of the rebel army and arrived at the ambush site.
The ambush location was a valley, and Su Cheng also arranged an ambush plan. Among the 5,000 troops under his command, there were 500 cavalry, 1,500 archers, and the rest were infantry.
Su Cheng asked Alan to serve as the vanguard of the 500 cavalry. When the battle began, he would lead the cavalry to charge. Having a brave man who is brave enough to move mountains to lead the team can greatly boost the morale of the cavalry and improve their morale.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry.
In this regard, the five captains of the Thousand Soldiers all expressed their dissatisfaction and confusion: How can a little girl who is not yet an adult and whose arms are not as thick as a gun barrel be allowed to serve as the forward of the cavalry?
Facing the questions from the five thousand-man team captains, Su Cheng smiled and said nothing.
Then, Su Cheng asked Alan to compete with the five captains, and asked Alan to fight five people alone to dispel the doubts of the five captains.
Then there is no more.
Alan mounted the horse and easily wielded a spear with a shaft thicker than her arm. Su Cheng had always been very confident in Alan's physical function, combat effectiveness, and understanding of combat-related skills.
The five captains thought Su Cheng was bragging at first. How could a little girl who was not yet a minor be able to defeat five burly men?
Then all five people were swept off their horses easily by Alan. They were beaten by Alan until they doubted their life.
From then on, the five thousand-man captains no longer had any objections to Alan's role as a cavalry forward.
Alan serves as the vanguard of the cavalry. He has already arranged his position and is ready to attack at any time. The crossbowmen are all ready and can immediately cover the rebels below with rain of arrows. The spearmen are also positioned and ready to attack at any time.
.
Now we just wait for the rebels to enter the ambush circle.
Su Cheng sent a large number of sentries to keep an eye on the location and movements of the rebels at all times.
And now, the rebel army finally arrived. The rebel army's outpost exploration team had arrived, but they were not the target of this battle, so Su Cheng let them go.
The goal of this battle is not to annihilate this 15,000-strong army, but to implement a "decapitation operation". Just kill the leader of this army, Anton. As long as the leader is killed, this army has no
A peasant rebel army with any degree of training will become leaderless and disintegrate on its own.
After a while, Su Cheng squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, vaguely seeing a long black dragon coming slowly.
It’s finally here, Su Cheng thought to himself.
At the same time, he also tightened his grip on the crossbow with the resounding arrow in his hand.
...
Anton continued to look proud and rode on the horse with high spirits.
Because his army is the fastest among the three armies currently. Judging from this speed, he will be the first to arrive in Cordoba.
When he thought that he had successfully captured Cordoba and then surpassed Abel and Abt in prestige, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up.
"Chief, let the soldiers take a rest. The speed of traveling these days is really too fast, and the soldiers are already overwhelmed."
Anton frowned and looked at the soldiers around him.
The soldiers all looked tired.
Anton squinted his eyes and found a valley not far ahead. He pondered for a while and then said: "Okay, give the order to go down. Once we pass that valley, we will take a rest and let the soldiers work harder. Recently."
The speed of our journey is indeed too fast."
"yes!"
...
After a while, the leading troops of the rebel army were approaching the ambush circle.
The rebels formed three columns and entered the ambush circle set by Su Cheng.
The formation of the rebel army is quite orderly and the military appearance is quite neat. It seems that Anton has a good command of the troops.
"General, the rebels have entered an ambush circle!"
"Well, let the crossbowmen be ready and shoot when they hear the sound of arrows. Also let the five thousand-man captains and Alan be ready."
"yes!"
The messenger immediately went to deliver the message.
Everyone is gearing up and preparing for a big fight, but the rebels don't know anything about it yet.
Anton is still dreaming of capturing Cordoba, overwhelming Abel and Abt with prestige, gaining absolute control over the entire army, and then working step by step, fighting steadily, and overthrowing the rule of the royal family of the Britannia Empire.
Su Cheng, on the other hand, was ready to wake Anton up and stop dreaming.
The rebel army's large forces have entered the ambush circle, and the leading troops have begun to walk out of the valley.
And Su Cheng had already seen a big fish appearing below.
Among the rebels, there was a man with a proud face who was surrounded by many cavalry, and the clothes on that man were obviously more advanced than the others.
The identity of this person has already been revealed.
He must be Anton, the leader of this army!
Not only Su Cheng discovered him, but Alan and the five captains also discovered him.
Alan tightened the spear in his hand and stared at Anton, because Su Cheng had given her an order before: to attack the rebel army's main line at all costs and take Anton's head.
The enemy leaders have already appeared. If we don't fight now, then when will we fight?
Su Cheng raised the hand crossbow equipped with resonant arrows, pulled the trigger, and with a whoosh sound, the resonant arrows flew into the sky, making bursts of piercing screams.
After hearing the sound, Anton raised his head blankly and looked at the sky, and an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
"Fire arrows!!"
The overwhelming arrows rained down like a torrential rain!
The crossbowmen fired into the valley from both sides of the valley. Countless arrows falling from the sky hit the rebels, shooting through the bodies of many rebels. Some people were even nailed to the ground by the arrows.
Some were lucky and were not hit in the vital parts, but they were still lying on the ground wailing in pain.
Suddenly attacked, the rebel army was completely in chaos. Not only the soldiers were panicked, but some generals were also panicked. The disadvantages of lack of strict organization were perfectly exposed at this time. Some people reacted in time,
He raised the crossbow in his hand and started to fight back, but these counterattacks were sparse and of no use.
After the arrow was fired, Su Cheng fired a second sounding arrow.
Although the valley is now filled with wails and shouts, the sharp sound produced by firing the arrows is still very loud.
The second shot of the arrow was the signal for the infantry and cavalry to attack.
After receiving the attack signal, the infantry ambushed on the mountainside poured like a raging waterfall towards the chaos of the rebels below.
Alan also heard the sound of the second arrow, raised the spear in his hand, pulled the reins of the horse, and drove the horse into the valley.
The 500 cavalry behind her also rushed into the valley with Alan. The slopes of this valley were not steep, so both humans and horses could easily rush down the mountainside.
Alan didn't wear any armor or protective gear because she was small and didn't have armor of this size, so she only wore a piece of cloth, holding a spear in her hand, and broke into the rebel army that was already in chaos.
At the beginning, when Su Cheng was conceiving the battle plan, he did not want Alan to serve as a cavalry forward who would die if he was not careful.
After all, Alan is also his sister.
But Alan insisted on asking Su Cheng to let her serve as a forward, saying that she wanted to help her brother no matter what.
Su Cheng, who couldn't defeat her, thought about Alan's inhuman strength, and nodded in agreement, letting her serve as the crucial cavalry vanguard in this surprise attack.
Alan leveled the spear in her hand, and then felt a huge force on her arm. She saw a panicked soldier being stabbed by her to the tip of the spear. The powerful force generated by the impact caused the barrel of the spear to bend and change.
It formed a bow shape, and when the tip of the spear lifted the enemy off the ground, the tough spear suddenly straightened up, sending the soldier on the tip of the spear flying away, causing a rain of blood to fall.
Alan waved the spear with a calm expression, and with the huge force, all the blood attached to the tip of the spear was thrown away.
At this time, a soldier stabbed Alan with his spear. Just when he was about to stab Alan in the face, Alan swung his spear and hit the soldier's gun barrel. The soldier's gun barrel flew away from him in an instant.
flew out of his hand.
However, Alan did not kill him, because her current target was not these insignificant soldiers. She only had one goal, and that was to remove Anton's head.
Alan led the cavalry and rushed towards the extremely conspicuous man who was surrounded and protected by many cavalry. She mechanically repeated the action of drawing out and retracting the gun. Every time she drew the gun, an enemy soldier would fall.
At this time, in the valley.
Deng Jiaer looked with some horror at Alan who was killing him below.
"Sir," Deng Jiaer said tremblingly, "why...Alan is so skilled at killing people..."
After hearing Deng Jiaer's words, Su Cheng's face condensed.
"Well... if possible, please allow me to keep it a secret. Alan doesn't want too many people to know about her past. If the opportunity comes in the future, with Alan's permission, I will tell you the truth.
of."
Su Cheng paused for a while, turned his head, and smiled gently at Deng Jiaer, "But no matter what she was like in the past, she has always been a good child. Although her current appearance is indeed a bit scary, don't be prejudiced against her.
oh."
"I, I won't be prejudiced against Alan!" Deng Jiaer said quickly.
...
