第三百八十二章 赤木要塞
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。中文 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。
