Chapter 26 Defeat

Judging from the marching route of the Central Army led by Anton, if they want to attack Cordoba, there is only one route to take.

So Su Cheng set the ambush location on their only way, and then urged the army to rush to the ambush location. Finally arrived at the ambush site ahead of the rebel army.

The ambush location was a valley, and Su Cheng also arranged an ambush plan. Among his 5,000 troops, there were 500 cavalry, 1,500 archers, and the rest were infantry.

Su Cheng asked Alan to serve as the vanguard of 500 cavalry, and when the battle started, he led the cavalry to charge. A brave man who was brave enough to move the mountains to lead the team would greatly boost the morale of the cavalry and improve their morale. The fighting power of the cavalry.

In this regard, the five captains of the thousand-man team all expressed dissatisfaction and puzzlement: 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 captains of the thousand-man team, Su Cheng smiled without saying a word.

Then, Su Cheng asked Alan to compete with the five captains, and asked Alan to fight five people alone, so as to dispel the doubts of the five captains.

Then there is no more.

Alan stepped on the horse and easily waved a long spear with a barrel thicker than her arm. Su Cheng had always been confident in Alan's physical function, combat effectiveness, and understanding of combat-related skills.

At first, the five captains thought that Su Cheng was bragging. How could it be possible for a young girl to beat five burly men?

Then all five of them were easily swept off the horse by Alan. Being beaten by Alan made him doubt his life.

Since then, the five captains of the Thousands have not had any objection to Alan's forwarding of the cavalry.

Alan is the vanguard of the cavalry, and has already set up his position, ready to attack at any time, and the crossbowmen are all ready, so they can immediately cover the rebel army below with arrow rain, and the spearmen have also been set up, ready to attack at any time .

Now it's time for the rebels to enter the ambush circle.

Su Cheng sent a large number of sentry cavalry to keep an eye on the position and movement of the rebel army.

And now, the rebel army has finally arrived. The outpost pathfinding team of the rebel army has arrived, but they are not the target of this battle, so Su Cheng let them go.

The goal of this operation is not to wipe out this 15,000-strong army, but to implement a "beheading operation". It is enough to kill the leader of this army, Anton, as long as the leader is killed. What kind of well-trained peasant rebel army will have no leader and then disintegrate on its own.

After a while, Su Cheng squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and vaguely saw a long black dragon approaching slowly.

It's finally here. Su Cheng thought to himself.

At the same time, he also tightened the hand crossbow with the rattling arrow in his hand.

 …

Anton continued to look smug and rode on the horse vigorously.

Because his army is the fastest among the current three armies. According to this speed, he will be the first person to arrive in Cordoba.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up when he thought of successfully capturing Cordoba and then surpassing Abel and Abbot in prestige.

"Leader, let the soldiers take a break. The speed of the journey these days is really too fast, and the soldiers are already a bit 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 in front of him. He pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, let's pass the order. After passing the valley, we will take a rest and let the soldiers work harder. Recently The speed of the journey is indeed too fast."

"yes!"

 …

After a while, the vanguard of the rebel army was close to the ambush circle.

The rebel army lined up in 3 columns,

He strode into the ambush circle set up by Su Cheng.

The formation of the rebel army is fairly neat, and the military appearance is fairly neat. It seems that Anton still has a way of leading troops.

"General, the rebel army has entered the ambush circle!"

"Well, let the crossbowmen get ready and shoot the arrows when they hear the sound of the arrow. Also get the five thousand captains and Alan ready."

"yes!"

The orderly immediately went to deliver the message.

Everyone is gearing up for a big fight, and the rebels don't know it yet.

Anton is still dreaming of capturing Córdoba, overpowering Abel and Abt in prestige, mastering the absolute right to speak in the entire army, and then step by step, steadily and steadily, and then overthrow the dream of the rule of the royal family of the Britannia Empire.

And Su Cheng is ready to make Anton sober and stop dreaming.

The large force of the rebel army has entered the ambush circle, and the vanguard has begun to walk out of the valley.

And Su Cheng has already seen a big fish appearing below.

In the rebel army, there was a proud man surrounded by many cavalry regiments, and the clothes on that man were obviously more advanced than the others.

The identity of this person has also been revealed.

He must be the leader of this army—Anton!

Not only Su Cheng found him, but also Alan and the five captains.

Alan tightened his grip on the spear in his hand, and fixed his eyes on Anton, because Su Cheng had given her an order before: to assault the main line of the rebel army at all costs and take off Anton's head.

The leaders of the enemy army have already appeared, if we don't fight now, when will we wait?

Su Cheng raised the hand crossbow with the rattle arrow, pulled the trigger, and with a bang, the rattle arrow flew into the sky, making piercing screams.

After hearing the voice, Anton raised his head blankly and looked at the sky, suddenly an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

"Arrow!!"

Arrows poured down like a torrential rain!

The crossbowmen threw their arrows into the valley from both sides of the valley. Countless arrows fell from the sky and hit the rebel army, shooting through the bodies of many rebel soldiers. Some people were even nailed to the ground by the arrows. Some were lucky enough not to be shot, but they were still lying on the ground and howling in pain.

They were suddenly attacked, and the rebel army was completely in disarray. Not only the soldiers panicked, but some generals also panicked. The disadvantages of lack of strict organization were perfectly exposed at this time. Some people reacted in time, raised their crossbows and started to fight back, but these counterattacks were sparse and useless.

After the arrow was fired, Su Cheng fired the second arrow.

Although the valley is now full of wailing and shouting, the sharp sound of firing 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 ambushing on the mountainside poured down on the chaotic rebels below like a raging waterfall.

And Alan also heard the sound of the second arrow, raised the spear in his hand, pulled the horse's rein, and drove the horse into the valley.

And the 500 cavalry behind her also rushed into the valley with Alan. The slope of this valley is not steep, so people and horses can easily rush down the mountainside.

Alan didn't wear any armor and protective gear, because she was small and didn't have armor of this size, so she only wore a commoner clothes, grabbed a spear in her hand, and rushed into the already chaotic rebel army.

At the beginning, when Su Cheng conceived the battle plan, he didn't want Alan to be the cavalry forward who would die if he was not careful.

After all, Alan was also his sister.

It's just that Alan insisted on asking Su Cheng to let her be the striker, saying that he wanted to help his brother no matter what.

Su Cheng, who couldn't resist 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 from her arm. She saw a panicked soldier being stabbed on the tip of the spear by herself. It became a bow shape, and when the tip of the spear lifted the enemy off the ground, the tough spear bounced straight again, flying the soldiers on the tip of the spear, and raining blood.

Alan swung the spear calmly, and under the action of tremendous force, all the blood attached to the tip of the spear was thrown away.

At this time, a soldier stabbed at Alan with a long spear. Just as he was about to hit Alan in the face, Alan swung his spear violently and hit the soldier's gun barrel. fly out of his hand.

But Alan didn't kill him, because her goal now was not these insignificant soldiers, her goal was only one, and that was to remove Anton's head.

Alan led the cavalry and rushed towards the extremely conspicuous man surrounded by many cavalry. She mechanically repeated the actions of firing and retracting the gun, and every time she fired the gun, an enemy soldier would definitely fall down.

At this time, on the valley.

Deng Jiaer looked at Alan who was killing him below with some horror.

"Sir," Deng Jiaer trembled, "why...Alan is so skillful in killing people..."

After hearing Deng Jiaer's words, Su Cheng's expression froze.

"Well... if possible, please allow me to keep it a secret. Alan doesn't want too many people to know about her past. When the opportunity comes in the future, I will tell you the truth with Alan's permission. of."

Su Cheng paused for a while, turned his head, and smiled gently at Deng Jiaer, "But no matter what she was like before, 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 hurriedly said.

 …

Under Alan's heroic performance, the morale of the 500 cavalry behind her was boosted, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. Even the infantry saw Alan's performance, and their morale improved, while the morale of the rebel army was getting lower and lower. , has almost reached the brink of collapse, no matter how the officers yelled, they did not effectively organize the soldiers, and because of the fast travel for many days, the body was already tired, and it was not as good as the strength and physical strength of the soldiers. Su Cheng's soldiers, so one after another the soldiers of the rebel army fell to the ground, which accelerated the collapse of Anton's army's morale.

Anton happened to be in the middle of the 15,000 army, and he was very well dressed, so he was particularly eye-catching, so Su Cheng and others could tell at a glance that he was the leader of the rebel army.

Therefore, what Su Cheng is attacking now is only the troops in the middle of the long march. The troops in front and the troops behind are all stunned. Finally, some people reacted and prepared to rescue the troops in the middle. force.

However, the valley is not that big. In addition, the troops in the middle are already in disarray, obstructing each other, and the superiority in numbers cannot be brought into play. Confusion makes command more difficult.

Soon, Alan approached Anton who was surrounded by many cavalry.

 …

Anton is panicking now.

No matter how much he yelled, he couldn't calm down the soldiers. If the soldiers couldn't calm down, they couldn't organize an effective counterattack.

Now, Anton has only one thought:

It's over! The army is in disarray! There is no chance of winning! We have to break out quickly.

The cavalry around him were all his carefully selected elite guards, so Anton quickly commanded the cavalry around him to defend himself and break out of the encirclement.

At this moment, he saw a cute little girl with brown hair and green eyes charging towards him on a horse. She was not wearing any armor and was covered in blood. Her cute face was full of evil spirits and killing intent. Looking at her face, Anton felt a chill run down his spine. And the little girl was followed by hundreds of cavalrymen.

"Quick! Stop them! Stop that little girl!" Anton shouted with all his strength.

The elite guard beside him also reacted immediately, raised the spear in his hand, and stabbed at the little girl with brown hair and green eyes.

A total of nine long spears stabbed at the little girl from different directions.

Just when the spear was about to stab the little girl. The little girl pulled her feet from the stirrups, stood on the saddle, bent her knees, and jumped high.

All nine spears pierced through the air.

Anton raised his head suddenly, and saw the little girl jumping directly above him, and under the action of gravity, she fell at an extremely fast speed.

Then, Anton saw the gun head gradually getting bigger.
