黑夜如漆,天际边久而不时地传来闷声炮响,一道道闪光划破夜幕,这是战争中的黑夜,这是一个个亡魂满布的黑夜。
旷野中,一阵急促的马蹄声响起,却见黑夜中穿梭而过的黑影,那是薛凌香策马奔骑,在黑夜之中带队狂奔,前往赤木要塞。
赤木要塞,那是一个天然型成的战略要塞,一个山谷通道,通道口竖起巨树围墙,让里面成为一个别据点和通道限制口。
薛凌香停落在赤木要塞旁边的山坡上,可见要塞之处一片火光冲天,要塞之外大量的蛮兵正在突击。在黑夜中的投石车划过一道道弧线将燃烧的巨石投向要塞,在巨木制的围墙下,巨大的野象驼着蛮兵几乎已经能够到墙头。
这样的危机下,赤木要塞竟然能坚持到现在。薛凌香带兵打仗不是一天两天,领兵有十足的经验,对军力判断也十分准确。
她估计了一下两边的战力,却是多长一个心眼,对旁边的齐少锦道:“你留三百骑在这里等着,如何有什么不对劲,还可以求援!”
现在她带骑五百余人,精骑薛家军战力更是翻倍,眼下攻城不到千余蛮兵,有两百精骑加要塞内守军,应该说完全足够救援。
齐少锦对军力的判断也相当准确,他知道两百骑已够,不过他担心的还是薛凌香,他道:“还是我去,你留在这里察看!”
薛凌香不高兴道:“这小小一战,难道你还不相信我。实际上给我一百精骑,我就能解赤木之围!”
齐少锦也不好多说什么。看这情况,并不是困难之战。
“驾!”薛凌香一夹马肚,带头冲锋出去:“一二队跟我来!”
两百精骑随着薛凌香从山坡上冲锋而去,骑兵之势锐如钢刀,轰隆隆的马蹄声震得大地在颤抖。在黑夜中的蛮兵听闻黑夜中传来的滚滚马蹄声,顿时慌乱起来,等他们看到人的时候,已来不及。骑兵的速度快如闪电,从黑暗中出现之时,那雪白的马刀也同时出现在他们的脖子上。
啊啊啊!
随着数声惨叫声起,巴图蛮兵已经意识到骑兵来袭,呜呜哇哇地叫喊着,四周的士兵已经做好防御之势对抗骑兵。这时,从投石车那边冲出一队长枪兵。长枪兵是骑兵的克星,在骑兵的强冲击下遇到对面的长枪,自身的冲击力会转化成对自身的危险,就算稳下对战时,长枪也有不可替代的优势。
众多长枪兵的出现,让薛凌香的骑兵陷入两难之境。骑兵优势在灵活速度,现在如林竖立的长枪,冲进枪群就会被戳成筛子。
在山坡上的齐少锦看到不知道从哪里出现这么多的长枪兵,也知道局势不妙。他立即一夹马背,带着三百精骑从山坡上冲下救援。冲到山下,却见长枪兵迎面而来。对面枪林密布,在黑暗中的长枪更是危险,直直冲过去就会撞到枪尖上被戳得惨死。
经验丰富的薛凌香迅速的判断局势,做出最有效的应对方案,她在黑暗中下令道:“退进要塞,用弓箭手对付长枪兵!”
对付长枪兵最好的自然就是弓箭,因为长枪兵无盾牌,在弓箭手面前,长枪兵就完全是个活靶子。
两百精骑迅速向要塞靠拢来到城墙下,后面的骑兵在断后,非常危险,已经有几个精骑被蜂拥而上的长枪兵戳下马背。这片刻之间,薛家军两百精骑就已经折损二三十人。
薛凌香朝着墙城上喊道:“快打开门,我们是薛家军!”
城墙上的士兵探头望下,确定是救援的薛家将,立即吆喝着上面的士兵把门吊起。笨重而巨大被烧得焦黑的塞门依依呀呀地升起来,薛凌香带着骑兵迅速的往里面撤退。
冲进要塞之中,薛凌香跃下马来,朝着城墙上的士兵喝道:“弓箭手上,把长枪兵解决掉!”
却见,城墙上的士兵并无动静,而且,那吊起的城门也没有放下。顿时一股不详的预感袭来,薛凌香大喝一声:“不好,这是圈套,大家小心!”
话刚落,却见城墙上的弓箭手齐齐转向塞内,嗖嗖嗖地就是一阵箭雨,薛家军顿时一阵惨叫传来,后面的长枪兵已经冲进要塞之内。
这要塞,完完全全的就是一个圈套,在外攻城的,和里面的守军,全都是巴图军,只为引得求援部队自投罗网。
薛凌香在这万急之时,喝声下令:“全部下马,用马刀!”
所以薛家军听领弃马,从鞘子里抽出匕首般的马刀,薛凌香飞速拾起地面的一块盾牌,一个滚地冲到木门之下,阻止外面的长枪兵继续进入,她的属下也随她之后,来到木门下。
其它的薛家军也是训练有素,迅速清理进入要塞内的长枪兵,在城墙上的箭雨之下,伤亡无比巨大。
城墙上的士兵朝着要塞外的蛮兵兴奋地嚷喊道:“是薛家军,是薛家军,快快回去禀报,这回赚大了!”
顶着巨大的伤亡,薛家军依然杀上城墙,在城墙上一片屠杀,在黑暗中那些弓箭手哇叫着滚落城墙之下。夺回城墙,立即来到木门机关处,在薛凌香等人在城门快要顶不住时,一个薛家军士兵砍断绳子,轰地一声,巨大的木门滑落,重新将要塞堵上。
薛凌香无力地瘫坐在地上,浑身满是血渍,也不知道是自己的,还是敌军的。木门外,轰轰地传来巨象的撞击声,外面的攻城已经重新开始。
一个士兵过来将薛凌香扶起,薛凌香捂着肩膀上的伤口,挣扎着站起来。
望着要塞之内。满布的薛家军尸体,薛凌香紧咬下唇。在白天时,这些还是在一起欢笑的士兵。泪,不是要在这个时候流,那是要在敌人的鲜血流尽之后的奠祭。
她迈着沉重的脚步,面无表情地踏上城墙,火星飞舞,巨石呼啸,城墙之外一片咆哮的蛮兵正在蜂拥而来。
她冷冷地道:“汇报伤亡!”
“轻伤二十一。重伤十五,死亡,,,,七十,还余。一百零四人!”士兵缓缓地垂下头。
薛凌香两眼迸出愤怒,狠狠地一拳捶在木桩之上。
却见那城外,根本不止千余蛮兵,埋伏在外的长枪兵就已经超过五百,其它的狼骑兵也有数百,其中竟然还有一个巫医。
齐少锦的三百精骑在外围急得冒火却也没有办法。光是那超过五百的长枪兵,就已经让他的骑兵无法发挥威力,更加上狼骑,这简直是骑兵的恶梦,马狼是马的终级克星。在马狼面前,连战马都会失控。马狼的一个扑咬就是直击马脖子,直接毙命。
齐少锦是急在心里,却毫无办法,只有策马在四周环绕却冲不进来。
浩大的攻城正式拉开序幕,这一回的攻城,不是像之前的烊攻,而是真正的攻城,投石车呼呼作响,一块块巨大的燃石轰然落下,砸在木墙上震得人都无法站稳。
比方才多出一倍有余的攻城部队出现,巨象嚎叫着冲击而来,上面的蛮兵一个跳跃就可以爬上城墙,其它的蛮兵也纷纷架起梯子攻城。
薛家军的训练多样,一个骑兵换套装备就可以变成另外一个兵种,拾起地上的弓箭,对着下面一阵狂射,其它的人与爬上城墙的蛮兵撕杀。
远处的巫医,站立在一头巨象身上,象背建有祭坛,幡旗飘舞,四个头骨悬挂四角,上身纹有各种恐惧的图案。撒向空中的粉未,在火把下燃烧成火球,一种种莫外的咒语在嘴中念起。却见,一群士兵顿时眼睛通红,嘴里嚎叫着像一头野兽,任由弓箭射在身上却不知疼痛,爬上城墙被砍掉手臂都像掉的不是自己的。
这连薛凌香都感觉到恐怖,城墙上连连失利,薛家军的人数在急剧减少,不知道这个要塞能撑到几时。
在黑夜中的另一个沉静的树林,只有不知名的鸟儿在嚎叫。
(拖欠拖欠,例行拖欠!)
