Soon, the cavalrymen retreated.
Lei Zhen and the others breathed a long sigh of relief after seeing this.
“After taking stock of the number of wounded, these Khitan cavalrymen have already entered the Great Wall of Desperation, and they will not give up easily.”
"Pull up the gaps that have been breached."
"Find a way to send someone out to deliver a message and ask for help."
Lei Zhen also didn't know how many cavalrymen the enemy had.
His men sprang into action.
These people surrounded the princess's dozens of luxurious carriages in layers with horse-drawn carts carrying grain and fodder.
Feng Huo Liancheng looked at the carriage formation in the distance and smiled coldly: "Launching another attack within half an hour."
"promise……"
Soon, the Khitan cavalrymen all dismounted.
They went to the nearby woods to cut down trees.
In less than half an hour.
Dozens of round, plump trees have already been felled.
These cavalrymen rode in pairs, and they used ropes to tie the logs to the back of their horses.
This is the experience that the Khitan cavalry accumulated from years of fighting against the Xia people.
“The general is ready and can start the battle at any time,” a centurion under Feng Huo Lian Cheng said, as he and his men mounted their horses.
"Prepare to depart," Feng Huo Lian Cheng waved his hand, "Rocketmen follow closely behind and set fire to their grain transport wagons."
Didn't they intend to surround those dozen or so luxury carriages with their vehicles?
"I'll let them burn to death inside."
Soon, more than 500 warhorses charged forward.
Each of these warhorses was dragging a thick, long log behind it.
At first, the warhorses struggled to pull these logs.
But when these logs could roll quickly across the ground, these warhorses galloped like the wind.
Following these cavalry were light cavalry.
These light cavalrymen were responsible for shooting arrows.
Once all the light cavalry were in position, several Khitan warriors lit torches in front of them.
These light cavalrymen pulled out rockets, lit them, and were ready to fire them at the carriages at any moment.
The more than 500 warhorses pulled the logs forward.
The ground was shaking.
The logs rolled forward faster and faster, some even faster than a galloping warhorse.
When Lei Zhen saw it, he turned pale with fright.
He knew what purpose those rolling logs served.
"Brothers, we must hold on no matter what!" Lei Zhen roared. "Even if we die today, we will protect the princess's safety."
"All archers, listen to my command and shoot those warhorses pulling the logs." Lei Zhen knew that this was the only way.
This method may not even work.
The archers and infantry knew what the other side was planning to do by pulling the log.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Arrows flew swiftly towards them.
The arrows struck the warhorses, which were all clad in leather armor.
Arrows could hardly penetrate it.
Of these hundreds of warhorses, only a few were hit by arrows and fell to the ground.
When the cavalrymen were less than 50 paces from the carriage, they loosened the ropes.
These rapidly rolling logs, like wild horses, hurtled towards the carriages parked in front.
These logs move at extremely high speeds and possess immense potential energy.
*Snap!*
A log smashed directly into the carriage blocking its path, wrecking it completely.
The log didn't slow down much; instead, it continued to crash backward.
Logs rammed against the defensive wagons.
The carriages were smashed to pieces after a series of violent impacts.
The wreckage of the carriage was scattered everywhere.
Once the logs were released, the warhorses that had been pulling them galloped off to the sides.
The dozens of carriages in front have been completely destroyed.
Lei Zhen looked at it and saw that the huge gap was more than ten meters wide.
If this breach is not plugged, the enemy cavalry will surge in like a tidal wave.
"Infantrymen, take your shields and plug the gap."
"Adjust the carriage; under no circumstances can we let these beasts break in."
With the battle raging outside, Princess Xue'er once again lifted the curtains to look out.
The princess, who was as beautiful as a flower and looked like a fairy descended from heaven, was so frightened by what she saw that she didn't know what to do.
The Khitan cavalry surged in like a tide.
At the same time, the light cavalry lit fire arrows and quickly fired them at the fallen wagons.
The grain and fodder being transported on the wagon were ignited by the rocket.
The place is open and the wind is blowing hard.
Once a spark ignites, it can quickly spread like wildfire.
A raging fire shot into the sky, and thick smoke billowed straight into the clouds.
The infantrymen who rushed forward with shields planted their huge wooden shields into the ground and did their best to hold them off.
Just then, several more huge logs rolled over.
A muffled thud.
Dozens of infantrymen carrying large shields were sent flying by the massive log.
Several infantrymen who couldn't dodge in time were crushed by the thick logs.
The log that had sent dozens of infantrymen flying continued its momentum as it hurtled towards the princess's luxurious carriage.
Upon seeing this, Lei Zhen rushed over and risked his life to block the log with his spear.
At that very moment.
The flames burned brighter and brighter.
The nearby carriages had mostly been set on fire.
Thick black smoke drifted with the wind toward Princess Xue'er's dozen or so luxurious carriages.
