It was Mahdi's eagerness to end the war as soon as possible, and only in this way did he become more and more anxious to annihilate all the Tang soldiers one by one.

Now is a perfect opportunity, in order to rush to the aid of Sylvan, the Shenwu Army has separated too far from the main force, and it only takes three or two days to encircle and annihilate these forwards.

In order to solve the battle perfectly, Mahdi even sent his own guards, intending to strike a blow and succeed. The cavalry infantry was uneven from the wings, echoing each other and attacking in separate ways.

In this way, it is impossible for the Shenwu Army forwards to escape even if they are defeated.

Everything went very smoothly and perfectly, but what he never expected was that there was a problem with his rear wing, and when the herald rushed to report the news, he was surprised and even opened his mouth wide, his face full of disbelief.

The forward of the Shenwu Army is limited, and in addition to confronting the Great Food Step Cavalry head-on, where is the extra strength to sneak attack their own rear wings?

But after all, Mahdi was a battle-hardened prince who led the army, and he was unusually calm when facing the enemy, so he ordered his subordinates to attack in an orderly manner, ignoring the harassment of the Shenwu army on his rear flank.

In fact, when all the armies were dispatched, the Chinese army camp in the rear flank had become a de facto empty camp, and even if the Shenwu army succeeded, it would be more symbolic than practical.

So Mahdi decided to ignore the harassers who had rounded his flank until he had routed the Shenwu Army's advance on the frontal battlefield.

Soon, the two sides met head-on on a slope, due to the restrictions of the terrain, they could not completely and thoroughly expand the formation, the frontal impact was carried out with each other, the advantage of the crossbow arrows on the side of the Shenwu army was immediately revealed, and a series of seven or eight rounds of arrow rain shot over, and the impact momentum of the Great Eclipse infantry was blocked.

There was only a momentary respite, and the power of the rain of arrows was not enough to make the Great Cannibal retreat, and soon, the ironclad infantry of the Great Eclipse slowly rushed towards the forward army of the Shenwu Army with heavy steps.

Although the crossbow arrow is sharp, it is still a bit powerless to deal with the iron armor, and even if the iron armor can be shot through, the power of the arrow has been exhausted, and it cannot effectively kill the enemy.

At this time, they chose to give up the crossbow arrows, and instead waved the Mo knife in their hands, ready to fight head-on.

This striker is Zheng Xianli's old subordinates, and he is also the best at using the Mo knife in the Shenwu Army.

Although the iron armor of the big cannibal is heavy, it can't resist the slashing of this kind of big knife weighing dozens of catties.

Soon, the two sides collided violently, as if the tide coming from opposite sides stirred up thousands of waves.

It's just that this wave is composed of flesh and blood, and with the collision of the Mo knife and the big food scimitar, the battlefield is immediately a tragic scene of flesh and blood.

The two armies are stuck together, and it is difficult to distinguish victory or defeat in a short period of time, and even if one side intends to withdraw from the battlefield, it is difficult to get out because of the dead entanglement of the other side, and there are only two roads in front of them, either life or death.

Zheng Xianli, who was standing on the high slope and watching the battle, frowned, he felt sorry for these good men, who died in a foreign land, and it would be difficult to see Chang'an again......

However, now is not the time for mothers-in-law and mothers to be soft-hearted, and they may be defeated if they make a slight mistake.

The forward of the Shenwu Army must not collapse, once it collapses, this breath will be broken, even if the main force rushes over, I am afraid it will affect the morale of the army.

What's more, the Shenwu Army has hardly tasted defeat since it was formed, and Zheng Xianli can't let his subordinates set this precedent.

"Beat the drums!"

More than a dozen war drums were beaten to the sky, and he wanted all the soldiers of the Shenwu Army on the battlefield to be able to hear the war drums of Datang and cheer them on.

Qin Jin, who was with Zheng Xianli, sighed secretly, Zheng Xianli's training was too conservative, and his generals were indeed brave, but if they were equipped with the Shenwu Army's standard throwing flower thunder, I was afraid that they would be able to defeat the momentum of the Great Ironclad Infantry at the beginning of the battle.

But that's the case, most of the Shenwu Army will use throwing flower mines, and there are even elite grenadier battalions, but they all have to admit the fact that the Mo Dao Formation does not have the momentum and power of these forwards.

Kill, kill, kill!

The morale-boosting shouts of the Tang soldiers echoed for a long time on the battlefield, covering wave after wave.

Qin Jin secretly admired in his heart, no wonder in the past hundred years, the Tang Dynasty has been able to sweep through the Mobei and Western Regions, with such a strong army, how many opponents are there in the world?

If it weren't for the internal turmoil within the Tang Dynasty and the intensifying and endless power struggle, how could the Tang Dynasty have flourished and declined?

Sure enough, as people often say, the most powerful enemy is precisely themselves.

Now, the army of the Tang Dynasty has finally faced the former victors once again with a dignified and upright army.

The Great Food Ironclad Infantry was not killed and retreated by the Mo Dao Formation, on the contrary, these people were all veterans of a hundred battles, and they all crawled out of the sea of corpses and blood, how could they be deflated by the battle as soon as they first engaged?

The more people died, the stronger the morale, and the momentum was so fierce that Qin Jin, who was watching the battle from afar, had goosebumps.

The Eastern Expeditionary Army led by Yousuf when he attacked Zhangye was not at all the same as the Great Food Army in front of him.

It seems that the Abbasids were able to defeat the surrounding countries with second-rate armies in the East, but the truly powerful elite never used them in the East.

Now, the Shenwu Army fought hard against such a strong army for the first time, which was both their luck and their misfortune.

The two sides engaged in a repeated tug-of-war on this small, nameless slope, each leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

Zheng Xianli looked up at the sky and sighed:

"Before dark, if we can't repel the big cannibals, our situation will be a little embarrassing!"

At the same time, the Ranger Scouts are sending back to various parts of the battlefield from time to time, and the army of the Great Cannibals is outflanking their two flanks, and if they are allowed to form a situation of encirclement on three sides, the Shenwu Army Mo Sword Soldiers in the fierce battle are likely to face the end of the total annihilation.

Zheng Xianli's mind was quickly turning all kinds of thoughts, in order to find a suitable way to deal with the tricky situation in front of him, but it was a pity that it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, the strength of the forward battalion was so much, and now even Qin Jin's guards were used, what better way could there be......

Subconsciously, Zheng Xianli said:

"If reinforcements arrive at this time, what are you afraid of?"

However, it was impossible for reinforcements to arrive now, because the forward battalion was lightly armed and obedient in order to march in a hurry, and even carried only enough food for one meal a day, a total of three days.

Three days, this is the limit time for the main force of the Shenwu Army to catch up.

At the same time, Qin Jin was only staring at the battlefield, thoughtful.
