Chapter 271: The First Battle

The gates of Nantu City were slowly opened with a dumb creaking.

Subsequently, the city guards of Nantu City rushed out and lined up under the city walls. Of these, five hundred cavalry were in front and one thousand infantry were in the rear.

In the middle of the group of soldiers, the young general of Nantu City, wearing silver armor and holding a silver spear in one hand, was majestic, like a god, and slowly led the troops out of the city gate. The murderous look on his face, the killing intent in his eyes, and the thick gloomy flavor rolled.

On the city walls, war drums sounded. There was a burst of cheers from up and down Nantu City. This formation is very grand and grand.

Outside the city gate, the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royal, which had long been ready for battle, was still calm and strict when it saw the appearance of the enemy, and was not affected by the enemy's arrogance in the slightest.

The two sides played outside the city walls. The officers of the 2nd Regiment of the Xinghua Royal Army, after ordering the soldiers to stop advancing, first gave the order to the army shooters to prepare for fire.

Seeing this, the young general of Nantucheng did not hesitate at all, and attacked decisively, waving the silver spear in his hand. As this action fell, I saw that the 500 cavalry in front of the formation took the lead in clapping their legs in unison, shouting in unison, raising their long swords in their hands, and taking the lead in charging;

"No shots without an order!"

"Wait for the enemy cavalry to enter the range of a hundred meters!"

The commander of the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royalty, the non-commissioned officers who led the team in a row, immediately opened his mouth to stabilize the legionnaires and prevent them from panicking due to the enemy's attack, which led to mistakes.

"The first and second platoons are ready, and the third and fourth platoons are ready!" the officer shouted.

Then, by the time the army of Nantucheng rushed straight into their range, it was only about a hundred meters away from them. The commander of the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royal Legion immediately shouted. Ordered: "Fire!"

This one. Shake the tense nerves of all Xinghua soldiers!

Bang! The first row of Xinghua soldiers fired a salvo.

The Nantu cavalry in front of them suddenly fell more than a dozen people.

Bang! The second row of Xinghua soldiers fired a volley.

Bang bang bang...... The gunfire rang out like firecrackers violently and compactly, and with it, rows and rows of Nantucheng soldiers were killed.

I don't know how all this happened! Before the large number of soldiers in Nantucheng could figure out the reason why their comrades in front of them had fallen without saying a word, they themselves followed suit. There was no more consciousness.

Among them, there is such a southern earth cavalry. When he held his war knife with murderous intent, he finally rushed to the front of the Xinghua Legion with difficulty, and there were still five or six steps before he could cut the enemy with the machete in his hand, but after only hearing the last deafening and inexplicable sound, there was only darkness left in front of him......

Bang! This was the last of the Southerners, and without exception, they fell to the ground.

This was just a slap of face, and in front of the army of the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royal, only a corpse remained. Rivers of blood.

Witnessing all this, Cheng Yingjun, who stood on the city wall and stared at the charge of the Nantucheng City Guards. He was so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time! If it weren't for the ironclad facts in front of him, no one would have made up anything to make up nonsense against him, and he would have believed such a bizarre and ridiculous thing: Not a single one of the five hundred cavalry could rush in front of the enemy! After the sudden commotion, it was like hell, and not a single living thing stood with men and horses!

Within a radius of about 100 meters or so in front of the enemy's troops, only a dark red filled with the smell of blood remained! This made the 1,000 Nantucheng infantry who followed the cavalry immediately behind, so frightened that none of them remembered that they should have continued to charge and kill the enemy, and they were all stunned on the spot.

The young Nantucheng general on the city wall no longer had the vigor he had when he left the city just now to kill the enemy, only his face was full of helplessness and confusion! But what was followed by a strong sense of fear! What kind of army was fighting against them?!

The infantry of Nantucheng no longer dared to take a single step forward.

However, at the moment of life and death, it was naturally impossible for the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royal Empire to give the soldiers of Nantucheng a chance to relax, let alone to take care of their already fragile nerves at this time, and it was impossible for them to have the leisure to take care of their feelings. It's a battlefield, and it's just you who lives or dies.

On the contrary, taking advantage of the confusion of the enemy's main army, the commander of the 2nd Xinghua Army ordered the regiment to immediately advance and attack, shouting loudly: "All shoot forward, all shoot forward!" Bang bang bang......

The soldiers of the Second Legion of the Xinghua Royal Dynasty didn't pay any attention to the fact that the Nantu soldiers were still in a daze, and all of them shot and killed the enemy while rushing! The longer the Nantu City soldiers were in a daze, the faster they died.

Ahh

A thousand soldiers of Nantucheng, after dozens of people were shot and killed, especially their superiors, the young general was also shot and fell to the ground, and he went completely crazy, and the majestic army was instantly collapsed!

There is no soldier who still has the courage to continue to face the Xinghua Legion. There was almost no need for any order to retreat, and all the soldiers of Nantucheng immediately turned around, like ants in a fryer, panicked and fled for their lives immediately!

On the contrary, the Xinghua legionnaires still took one step at a time, maintaining their formation, and advanced towards Nantucheng. The state of the two armies formed a strong contrast, and the Xinghua Legion seemed to be strolling leisurely, slowly capturing a Nantucheng Legion that had long been like a turtle in an urn.

"Close the gates!

Cheng Yingjun, who had just woken up at this time, saw that the enemy army was attacking the Nantu city gate in a big way, and immediately shouted in panic, ordering the soldiers to close the city gate, and quickly pushed out all the four heavy ballista cars that were arranged to guard the city gate on the city wall.

Four crossbow arrows fired in a volley. This has almost become the best hope for Nantucheng to intercept and attack the enemy army.

Yi Xingchen was taken aback, the attack distance of the crossbow arrow was a little far, it had already exceeded five hundred meters, and it almost hit the phalanx of soldiers of the Xinghua Legion.

The commander, apparently seeing the danger as well, ordered his soldiers to halt their advance and attack the walls.

Bang bang bang......

On the city wall, the Nantu soldiers who were in charge of operating the heavy ballista trucks, after two or three died, no one dared to show their heads, and ordered them to hide behind the wall.

"Retreat in an orderly manner!" the commander gave a new command, and the soldiers of the Second Legion slowly retreated.

Yi Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Let's go back first." ”

A hundred soldiers of the Royal First Legion, embracing Yi Xingchen, left Nantu City and returned to the camp.

When the commander of the Second Legion saw that the gates of Nantucheng were closed, and that the enemy had no intention of leaving the city again, he ordered the legion to retreat to the camp. (To be continued......)
