When the two pass by in a row, the distance between the two sides is almost only two meters away!

At this time, all decisions must happen in an instant. If you are surprised, you will be doomed. Unlike everyone who thinks, Ma Lin suddenly gave up the meteor hammer that had accompanied him for more than 20 years and picked up the short crossbow beside him!

He used his right chest to fight against Shadick, and then almost at the same time he used a short crossbow to Shadick's throat!

In the dark night, Shadick let out a shocking cry, and then his spear fell down, and then his thick body fell down!

The short crossbow used by the Qin cavalry was only five pounds, which was the level of an ordinary single step bow, and the effective range was thirty or forty meters. However, after being shot at such a close distance, unless it was touched with a smooth bright light armor, it would break through any obstacles blocking it!

A foot-long crossbow arrow hit Shadick's throat. It was the only flaw in his body besides his eyes. It would be impossible for him to hit the eyes with one arrow in the dark night, even if he was a very skilled martial arts Ma Lin, let alone the flash of lightning that was about to be stabbed by the opponent's spear?

So, shooting the neck became the only option.

Ma Lin bet right. In the situation just now, if he had been replaced by another general, he would have been defeated by Shadick even if he was not injured. But he was one of the most powerful generals in the entire Qin army and he won!

Shadick's earth-shaking cry made the cavalry around him who had just raised their morale deflated again, but, as analyzed earlier, they had no choice but to fight to the death to have a glimmer of hope!

The cavalry battle has begun!

At this time, Ma Lin only had the iron spear that was ten feet long and weighed fifteen kilograms in his hand, and it was still the armor-breaking cone he had known before. When he held it with both hands, there was no general in front of him. Soon, he led his front army to cut into the depths of the enemy!

If it were in the past, when Ma Lin and the others went deeper into this state, the war would have basically ended. However, at this time, the Xhosa cavalry seemed to realize their situation. At first, the morale fell a little, but gradually recovered. Especially the more than a thousand Huwugus cavalry under Shadick actually burst out with amazing combat power in the end!

This made the war suddenly tense, and the situation that was originally one-sided became evenly matched again!

But the situation of the war is finally developing towards the side that is beneficial to the Qin army. This is because all the Qin cavalry have a short crossbow in their hands. Before catching the enemy, it is stipulated by the cavalry's teachings. In the dark night, at the tense moments of both sides, the short crossbow is naturally at a high probability of failure, but there is still a 30% chance of being able to seize it.

So, just as the two armies gradually fell into a fight, in an instant, about 30% of the Xhosa cavalry were shot down!

Therefore, the battle between the three thousand cavalry and the three thousand cavalry instantly became a situation where the Qin army was greatly dominated!

Then there is the tiger spear. The moment when the riding rifle is against the opponent's small number of riding rifles and a large number of scimitars. For the Qin army, although there is a lot of training in the moment of fighting, if they face the two choices of war horses and cavalry, they will shamelessly choose the war horse!

But for most cavalrymen in this world, this scene would hardly happen. So hundreds of cavalry were overturned to the ground by war horses before they even started fighting with each other. They were eventually trampled to death and injured by other war horses!

So, when the war was halfway through, the Qin cavalry had evolved twice as many to face the Xhosa cavalry!

Before dawn, just as the Qin cavalry gradually contracted the encirclement and the Jossa cavalry in the circle became thinner, more than a thousand cavalry passed from the direction of Derbint City, Yu Wenjing arrived again with the cavalry!

After that, the fate of the Xhosa cavalry was completely destined.

......

Derbint City.

In the early morning, the smoke and the smell of blood have not completely dissipated.

In the former governor's palace of Shadick, Ma Lin was listening to Naren Xiaofeng's report.

"General, your meteor hammer has been found, look..."

Ma Lin had closed his eyes, but when he heard this, his right eyelid couldn't help but pick it. He didn't open his eyes, but a turmoil broke out in his heart.

"Meteor Hammer, Meteor Hammer, you have been with me for twenty-five years, but last night's battle, it was not you who saved my life, but the short crossbow that the king has been working hard to do. Now it seems that the king is right. In the future, I will be more ordinary cavalry. Let's use a short crossbow to increase the iron spear."

"Besides, I am already a general, second only to Li Fei Shouyu and Bai Xiaode in China, so I must not be reckless and impulsive. Although I am brave, I have not reached the level of Gao Juren. The man's behavior last night was beyond my expectations. If it weren't for the short crossbow in hand, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"In the future, we should obey the king's opinions honestly, cooperate with the formation and try our best to fight the enemy during the day."

Thinking of this, he opened his eyes and said, "Talk him to the baggage troops in the camp, melt it, and then beat it into a short knife, no no, no, three short knives with arc-shaped backs."

Ma Lin thought of Shadick's strange-shaped Uz steel knife, and when it was thrown out, it would be a good ranged weapon.

"yes"

Naren Xiaofeng couldn't help but be surprised. Meteor Hammer, which is one of the symbols of the general in front of him. Why did he abandon it all the time?

But he didn't want to go against Ma Lin's intentions.

"Also, Shadick's body was found, you see..."

"Let's have a grand funeral. If he hadn't met me... I, Qin Army, would have been a good player."

"Yes, he is a Jewish, and there are Judaism priests in the city, so let them deal with it."

"Let's talk about the results. Last night's battle, Shang Kegu's commando was the first to win. Afterwards, his 300 commando team died or injured about a hundred people. Shang Kegu himself was also slightly injured and is currently healing. After the two regular battalions entered the city from the south gate, most of them were safe, but some were hit by cold guns and cold arrows, about three hundred people. However, after Shadick escaped, the enemy's resistance was obviously much weaker. By the time our army took all the cities, only more than a hundred casualties were killed or killed."

"The enemy's Derbint defense line is about 10,000 infantry and cavalry in the city. There are several castles on the nearby mountains, about 5,000, all infantry. Shaddick brought out three thousand cavalry, all of which were killed and injured. About 500 cavalry were killed and injured in our army..."

Ma Lin closed his eyes again and thought to himself: "If it was a daytime battle, our army would have a lot less casualties with the advantages of armor, weapons, short crossbows, and tactics. Is it still careless? Even if these people were letting them go to Baicheng, what if they were not in a jar?"

Naren Xiaofeng continued: "One of the seven thousand infantry and cavalry in the city died in battle, and all the rest surrendered. After several nearby castles learned that the city had fallen, Shadick also died in battle, he surrendered."

At this moment, Ma Lin finally broke free from some inexplicable sorrow, self-blame, and other complex emotions.

He opened his eyes again and said, "Well, Derbint, the entire western coast of the Caspian Sea is White City, and the two big cities of Astra City. Astra City is similar to Derbint City, which is not difficult to conquer, so only the White City is left."

"Originally, Derbint, White City, Astra City, Shakr City, Kossa City, and Taman City are several major cities in the Khanate of Kossa. The core of the area is naturally on the west coast of the Caspian Sea. Now that the Derbint defense line is broken, there is a huge gap in the west coast of the Caspian Sea."

"This gap is not only geographically, but also psychologically. Not to mention Baicheng, the remaining cities are similar to Derbint City, so there will be a grief. In this way, fighter planes will appear. Xiaofeng, from you, how should our army take action next?"

Naren Xiaofeng thought for a while, "General, according to the king's idea, in addition to the North Caucasus area, the focus is on the Taurus Peninsula, because the climate there is more suitable than the North Caucasus area, but if our army wants to attack the Taurus Peninsula, we must first solve the North Caucasus."

"In the remaining cities, with Derbint losing, the hard bridge and hard horse attacking, and it is no problem to take Astra City, Kosa City, and Taman City. In these three cities, Baicheng is the turtle in the jar."

"But among these three cities, Astra City and Kossa City are all absolute direct characters of the Kossa people. The former is Brans' eldest son, and the latter is Brans' nephew. It is impossible for them to surrender to our country, so they need to attack again. Once things go here, Fengce's warship can go north and attack Astra City first."

"But it is not easy to get the heavy 1,500-pound cannons deep in the heart of the North Caucasus in the city of Kosa. Besides, it is estimated that it will not be possible to pass through the Manecic lowlands for a while. So, I had to take Astra Fort first, and then use the Attila River-Kosa Canal-Kosa River to drive Fengze's ship to the Black Sea and take Taman City first."

(Manecic Lowlands, low-lying swamps between the North Caucasus and the northern prairie, almost connecting the Caspian Sea and the Don River)

"Since Josa City is a newly built city and the city is full of Josa tribal cavalry, they cannot stick to the city for a long time, and they cannot continue to stay in the city when Taman City falls. So they will definitely leave the city to fight with General Bai Xiaode. In that case, it will only be a matter of time before the fall of Josa City will fall."

"In the end, it's Baicheng. The walls of Baicheng are five meters high and more than ten meters thick. There is nothing wrong with the 1,500-pound heavy cannon. But when all the surrounding cities fall, I guess the city will change..."

Ma Lin smiled and said, "Jewish?"

"Yes," Naren Xiaofeng nodded, "Not only are the Jews, but the cavalry in the city needless to say that they are all the direct descendants of Brans, and it is impossible for him to surrender. However, his infantry leader is Ninis, and he is also Brans' son-in-law. But he was a Roman who converted to Judaism. In fact, he defected to the Khanate of Xhosa because of the arrival of the Adam family. Therefore, he was close to the Adam family than the Brans family."

"When all the surrounding cities were lost, if there were no Jewish troops, the Adam family would still live and die with Brans, but it is hard to say that with the infantry army of Ninis, it is said that all the self-cultivating farmers who had served as soldiers who ran from the Roman Empire and the Great Food Empire were all self-cultivating farmers who went bankrupt because of the land being annexed by the nobles. They were originally Romanized Great Cannibals, Persians, and they were not very friendly to the Xhosa."

"The outer city is guarded by Ninis. If Ninis surrenders, the Brans and his sons in the inner city will be desperate and will be able to attack at that time."

Ma Lin nodded, "At this time the war in Persia is over. The king still has five camps in his hands. It is obviously going to be sent to the battlefield of Xhosa. Strangely, there is no news so far."
