Chapter 1899 Encirclement and reinforcements
But the other party came incredibly quickly, and soon after the whistle sounded, he felt the ground shaking.
Immediately afterwards, a team rushed out from the darkness ahead, like a rolling black cloud.
All black-armored cavalry.
The sound of hooves is like thunder, so fast!
Seeing that the enemy was so aggressive, Qu Ruhai waved his hand and the front army raised their spears and shields, ready for close combat.
The Luodian army was just tired, but they did not lose their fighting spirit.
However, the enemy army quickly slowed down and stopped completely when the two sides were a hundred feet apart.
In just a dozen breaths, they went from extreme speed to extreme stillness, without disarray, and were ready to go.
Qu Ruhai himself was a general, and he knew that this was a powerful force just by looking at their momentum, appearance, and rhythm.
The warriors of the Kasha tribe are brave and courageous and are not afraid of fighting, but they lack the composure to remain calm even when a mountain collapses in front of them.
He had never seen this kind of temperament in any other army except the warriors of the gods.
One of the enemy troops slowly stepped forward.
The black horse he was riding was taller and stronger than other horses, with a sleek and smooth appearance, and almost no other color on its body, except for a circle of snow-white around its ankles.
When it moved its ears, others discovered that half of its left ear was missing.
Qu Ruhai was a little surprised when he saw it: "Half an ear?"
This is not a Bo beast, but a pure Bo. It is very similar to the Black Bo King that lives in the northern demon plains. It likes to eat flesh and blood and has the ability to tear tigers and leopards apart alive. The most conspicuous feature is that it lost half of its ear in the battle to kill the Blue Bear King.
The knight on its back was wearing black armor with dark patterns and a dragon-head mask, almost blending into the night.
"Qu Ruhai." His voice resounded directly in everyone's heart, deep and majestic, and seemed to have waves of echoes, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Even if Qu Ruhai saw it for the first time, he could recognize it immediately:
"Emperor Jiuyou?"
He paused: "Or He Xiao?"
"If you surrender, you and your men will be able to survive." Emperor Jiuyou ignored his question, "Otherwise, this is the burial place carefully selected for you."
This is a threat, but also a warning:
The encounter that was about to happen was a siege and attack on the reinforcements that he had carefully designed.
It turned out that the move of rushing to attack Luodian and besieging the capital was to lure Qu Ruhai back to the country to serve the king and to destroy Luodian's most elite forces. Of course, any ambush must point to a clear result:
Can win.
Otherwise the whole layout is a joke.
Qu Ruhai laughed: "With such a small number of people, do you want to fight or deliver food?"
He saw at a glance that although Emperor Jiuyou made a grand appearance, the number of his troops did not exceed two thousand. How could this be compared with the 35,000 Luodian troops behind him?
The Black Armored Army of Emperor Jiuyou is certainly famous, but aren’t the Luodian warriors he brought with him on the southern expedition also fierce?
Qu Ruhai raised his arms and shouted, pointing to the capital in the north: "Men of Luodian, charge these enemies, crush them, and I will take you home!"
Just by hearing this sentence, He Lingchuan sighed that this guy looked rough on the outside but was scheming on the inside.
The Luodian army had been on the march south for several months, and the battle was very difficult, and many people were homesick. After finally setting out on the journey home, they were only a few steps away when the enemy blocked their way ahead - what should they do?
Of course, call him!
If they can defeat the obstacles in their way, they will naturally be able to return home.
Qu Ruhai's simple two sentences had a miraculous effect. The Luodian soldiers, who had fought in fierce battles and marched long distances, became energetic when they heard the word "return home".
Qu Ruhai knew that this was a crucial battle in the Battle of Luodian.
If he wins, he can reverse all the unfavorable situations in Luodian State;
He lost, the elite troops of Luodian Kingdom were destroyed, and the people's morale was completely lost. What could they use to resist Emperor Jiuyou?
The Luodian army was intercepted, but now it was the Luodian army that took the first step.
Qu Ruhai also looked up at the sky. There were several bird demons in the army, often hovering in the sky, conducting reconnaissance and keeping watch. Usually there were four or five of them, but he only saw three now.
Where did he hide to hunt or rest?
The bird monsters fly high in the sky, far away from the army, and are usually rather lax. Sometimes they look for something to eat outside, or quietly find a big tree to take a nap. They are paid slackers and will not return to the army unless there are special circumstances.
Qu Ruhai was of course dissatisfied, but that was their nature and could not be forced.
Now that the enemy was at hand, Qu Ruhai saw that they were short of workers, and suddenly an idea came to his mind:
Were those two bird monsters attacked?
If this is the case, there must be something going on on the ground!
His gaze naturally shifted to the two nearest hills, both on the east side of the Luodian army, one far and one near, shaped like a pen holder for brushes.
Qu Ruhai whistled to attract the attention of the bird demon in the sky, then pointed to the east, meaning for the bird demon to go over and investigate.
However, as soon as the whistle fell, a loud and long sound like a whistle came from the east with the wind, as if responding to him.
It felt like something was coming in the sky, densely packed.
The sentry shouted, "Arrows are coming from the east! Arrows are coming from the east!"
The tiny dots in the air grew bigger as they got closer; they were all arrows!
There was indeed an ambush.
The Luodian soldiers' shields immediately turned to the east, overlapping each other to form a shield formation.
All I could hear was the sound of "pu pu" as dense as rain of arrows, and most of the arrows hit the shields.
Although there were big gaps in the shield and people were always injured, the effect was generally prevented.
Then came the second and third rounds of arrow rain.
The attack was like a fierce storm, so fierce that the army dared not withdraw their shields.
Suddenly, screams were heard from the shield formation. Qu Ruhai turned around and saw that the shield formations on both sides suddenly collapsed. It seemed that there were more than a dozen things continuously attacking the soldiers hiding behind the shields. The speed was extremely fast and could even bend.
Is it a living thing?
Qu Ruhai saw a pale shadow.
A crossbowman was quick-witted and shot two arrows at a gap, nailing an object to the ground.
It's a large boomerang made of bone.
Although its movements were restricted by the arrows, it still struggled and jumped, trying to return to its owner.
Magic weapon?
In addition, most of the Luodian soldiers also noticed that the ground was shaking even more violently than before, because under the cover of three rounds of arrow rain, another ambush force rushed out from behind the hill.
It was natural for the Nine Nether Emperor to divide his troops. If Qu Ruhai had limited troops, he would also divide his troops to attack the enemy's flank and waist, trying to disrupt the enemy's formation.
The problem is, there's something wrong with this ambush.
Rushing in the front row were a dozen moving mountains of flesh, huge and ferocious, shaking the earth and the earth as they ran.
They are the ones who sounded the whistle:
Woolly mammoth.
Because they are covered with a thick layer of hair armor, these guys are a circle larger than ordinary savanna elephants, with a pair of huge tusks that curl outward. The more experienced ones, such as the leading giant elephant, have grown a second pair of tusks, which are like daggers and are extremely sharp.
As they ran, they formed a wide moving wall, raising clouds of dust.
Seeing this high wall moving towards them quickly, any creature would instinctively become timid. Even though the war horses of the Luodian army had been through hundreds of battles, they kept retreating at this moment, and no matter how the knights scolded and pulled them back, it was useless.
Close, getting closer!
