Chapter 18: The Mo Dao Warriors Are Unstoppable
Chen Huaian led the Dragon City Iron Buddha Tu to completely penetrate and smash through the entire array of civilians and soldiers deployed by Yunhui's infantry.
Both the men and horses were heavily armored. After continuously charging at high speed for three rounds on the battlefield, the men and horses of Dragon City Iron Buddha Tu were exhausted and could no longer maintain high combat efficiency.
In desperation, Chen Huaian had no choice but to order Longcheng Tiefutu to leave the battlefield and rest for a while before fighting again.
Upon seeing this, the infantry of the Yunhui Army, who had been charged by the Longcheng Iron Buddha Tu group for a long time, were overwhelmed by the pressure and could not breathe due to despair and fear. Finally, they were able to breathe for a moment and reorganized under the organization of the supervising team.
After fighting Fan Wuji for 300 rounds on horseback, the Yunzhou Cavalry leader Liang Erhu, who still had no outcome, finally saw the right opportunity to leave the battlefield, rode his horse closer to the Chinese army, and ran and shouted:
"The enemy's iron pagoda has been withdrawn. All armies must quickly regroup and rush out with a bloody path!"
"The enemy's iron pagoda has been withdrawn——"
"The enemy's iron pagoda has been withdrawn——"
Liang Erhu's soldiers also shouted back and forth on horseback at the top of their lungs to boost their own morale.
This move really worked. The Yunhui troops in the fierce battle saw the Iron Buddha of Dragon City, which was frightening in their hearts. They withdrew from the battlefield due to exhaustion of their strength. After seeing a glimmer of hope, the soldiers immediately aroused great power. Instead, he began to fight more and more bravely despite his desire to survive.
In several local battlefields, there were scenes of Yunzhou's sudden cavalry counter-charging against the besieging Xuanjia cavalry with inferior force.
For a moment, facing Yunzhou's sudden cavalry's desperate fighting style, the Xuanjia cavalry seemed passive on the battlefield.
Seeing that the Yunzhou Assault Cavalry was about to take off and join forces with the Yunhui Army infantry while fighting and retreating, Chen Qingzhi's 10,000 Xuanjia Army Modao Team finally entered the battlefield with their swords.
Fan Wuji hurriedly ordered the Xuanjia Qingqi to outflank both sides to cut off the enemy's retreat and at the same time make enough space for the Mo Dao team to use the "wall push" tactic.
As Fan Wuji led the Xuanjia Qingqi to leave the main battlefield, the 10,000 Xuanjia Army crossbowmen who lined up in the second attack line behind the Modao Team fired thousands of arrows in an instant, and the sky was full of arrows raining down on Yunhui. In the military formation.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
A storm of arrows struck like a sudden storm, forcing Yunhui's army, which had been disrupted by Dragon City's Iron Buddha Tu, to fight hastily. Countless men and horses were turned into hedgehogs by the arrows that fell from the sky.
In a short time, a large number of people were killed and injured in Yunhui's army formation.
With the help of the cover of the crossbowmen, the Mo Dao team led by Chen Qingzhi also caught up with the defeated troops of the Yunzhou Assault Cavalry. The Mo Dao team cooperated closely with the "wall advance" tactic, and the Mo Dao team waved their hands uniformly. The Mo Dao, which is more than a foot long, forms a sword shield.
Wherever the sword and shield passed, the Yunzhou Tuqiu, including their men and horses, were chopped into two pieces. The dying cavalryman and the horse could only watch helplessly as their heads were missing.
Desperate and painful wails and screams resounded through the mountains and fields, making everyone who heard it feel horrified and shudder. The smell of blood lingered in the air for ten miles and lingered for a long time.
The Yunzhou Tuqi, whose offensive had just begun to pick up after Longcheng Tiefu Tu left the battlefield, was suddenly suppressed and breathless by the Mo Dao Team of the Black Armor Army on the battlefield.
Facing the menacing sword and shield of the Mo Dao Team, Liang Erhu, the leader of the Yunzhou Assault Cavalry, had no choice but to curse in his heart. Who knows where did this damn Chen Huaian get such an elite soldier?
The iron pagoda is scary enough, but now there is a team of long knives. The long knives they use are far sharper than the long knives used by all the soldiers of the Great New Dynasty. They can easily cut through the armor and armor of the soldiers. The body's power is terrifying.
Such a long sword that can cut iron like clay is rare even if it is placed on the commander of the generals of the Great New Dynasty.
But on the side of the dog thief Chen Huaian, it is possible for ordinary soldiers to have one in each hand. How much money does it cost to arm such a long-sword team?
"General, give the order to retreat!"
Liang Erhu finally rode his horse and rushed to the vicinity of the Chinese army's headquarters. He saw Wu Qingyun, the leader of the Yunhui army, who was blown away several meters away by Chen Huaian's halberd and his horse. He once again begged him to order the withdrawal:
"General, the thief Chen Huaian has long planned to raise his troops to rebel, and he has made full preparations. The thief under his command has strong soldiers and horses, and they have weapons at their disposal.
Our army is already at a disadvantage due to the outnumbered enemy. The weapons in the hands of the soldiers are not as sharp as those of the bandit army. This battle is really unwinnable! "
"I beg the general to order the troops to retreat!"
"I beg the general to order the retreat!"
The other generals of the Yunhui Army also gathered around and begged Wu Qingyun to order the withdrawal.
By this point in the fierce battle, Yunhui's army had already suffered more than half its casualties. If it had not been for extremely strict military orders, other armies would have been defeated and scattered in all directions when they had suffered more than half of their casualties.
But according to the current battle situation, Yunhui's army was defeated in only a moment.
Ahem!
Faced with the admonitions of his generals, Wu Qingyun, who fell to the ground after being seriously injured and was rescued desperately by Yu Houjun's soldiers, endured the severe pain of the displacement of his internal organs and coughed twice.
The eyes of those copper bells looking towards the battlefield also lost the arrogant and arrogant and arrogant evil light of the past, replaced by endless resentment and unwillingness.
Wu Qingyun closed his eyes and finally said the word "retreat."
"retreat!"
"The general has ordered the three armies to retreat in an orderly manner!"
The former army general Liang Erhu couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and immediately relayed Wu Qingyun's general order to withdraw his troops.
Immediately afterwards, Liang Erhu gathered the remnants of the Yunzhou cavalry to form a wedge formation, and ordered the remaining 200 or so Iron Harriers to protect Wu Qingyun in the middle of the wedge formation.
Then, he ordered the archers to clear the way with arrows to cover the Yunzhou cavalry from the weak position of the black armor light cavalry on the left wing of the battlefield.
"Your Highness, the enemy's commander Wu Qingyun wants to run!"
The Yunzhou cavalry's move was immediately understood by a cavalry commander of the Dragon City Iron Pagoda, who immediately reported it to Jin Wang Chen Huaian.
In fact, there was no need for him to say more, Chen Huaian had already discovered the signs that Wu Qingyun was going to run, but he did not seem to be in a hurry at all, just nodded to show that he knew.
Afterwards, he raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji with one arm again and ordered the Iron Buddha warriors behind him to pursue: "All the generals of the Dragon City Iron Cavalry, listen to my order, target the enemy army's banner, kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
After a short rest, the Dragon City Iron Buddha troops, who had recovered some of their physical strength, once again charged the enemy army. Jin Wang Chen Huaian was still the only arrow in the cavalry's charge.
On the other side, the former deputy general Fan Wuji, who was riding on horseback and commanding the black armor light cavalry to encircle and cut off the retreat of the Yunhui Army, also discovered that Wu Qingyun and Liang Erhu wanted to run away, and immediately led 300 personal soldiers to attack the left wing of the battlefield to block the breakout route of the Yunzhou cavalry.
He would not let Liang Erhu, that chicken, slip away from under his nose. Today, a winner must be decided, either you die or I live!
"Hey!"
"You bastard Liang Erhu, stop running, and fight me for another three hundred rounds!"
In the center of the battlefield, Chen Qingzhi, the commander of the Xuanjia Army, who was commanding the Modao Team to crush the enemy with overwhelming force, also discovered that the enemy commander wanted to escape, so how could he let him succeed easily?
Although the two legs of the Modao Team he commanded could not outrun the four legs of the enemy cavalry, the advantage was that the Modao Team was closer to the breakout route of the enemy cavalry on the left wing of the battlefield and moved faster.
Chen Qingzhi immediately commanded the Modao Team to change direction, the rear team became the front team, and used swords as shields to intercept the enemy cavalry.
"Modao Team, attack with all your forces!"
At the command, the rear team of the Modao Team became the front team, and continued to press forward with the "wall-like advancement" tactics, chasing the cavalry at the end of the Yunzhou Tuqi Team who were fleeing to the left wing and slashing fiercely.
Every sword was fatal, and there was no mercy.
Infantry chasing and attacking cavalry is probably a great spectacle in the era of cold weapons, and it is also the first time since the founding of the Great Xin Dynasty!
