No one thought that the collapse of Kong Peng's five thousand elite cavalry would come so quickly and suddenly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this moment, Zhang Jun led 20,000 cavalry and was still slowly entanglement with the Ye royal army led by Ye Qinglin from both sides, in his opinion, as long as they could successfully drag the Ye royal army and prevent it from having the opportunity to enter the northern flank battlefield to participate in the battle, they would win this battle.

On the entire battlefield, their total number of soldiers and horses was twice that of the elite army and the Ye royal army, and he dragged the seemingly strongest Ye royal army with less than 20,000 cavalry on the southern front, and the lord Zhangxiong and Kong Peng were able to mobilize up to 70,000 soldiers and horses on the northern front, and destroyed the elite army with only 20,000 soldiers and horses by hitting the eggs with stones.

Zhang Jun thought so, Kong Peng also thought so, even Zhang Xiong would never think that they would lose before the war.

Whether it is called a machine or a crossbow, the power is extremely terrifying, but the number of divine machine crossbows is limited, and it stands to reason that they cannot play a decisive role in such a large-scale war.

They also studied the method of dealing with it in detail before the battle, whether it was the armor battalion of the forward line or the cavalry battalion, they could only be equipped with a thousand-step strong bow and shield.

Even if the power of a single crossbow cannot be compared, then make up for it in quantity.

A hundred Divine Machine Repeaters can always be effectively suppressed with two thousand elite archers. In fact, they had a total of 10,000 strong bows in the 30,000 soldiers who first entered the battlefield on the northern flank.

However, who would have thought that when the shield wall formed by the tower shield car they relied on was broken through, the elite bows deployed behind the shield wall of more than 5,000 paces were completely destroyed in almost a dozen breaths; they thought that Kong Peng personally led 5,000 elite cavalry to capture the last chance to win, who would have thought that the mixed entanglement would be straightened out by Chen Hai in such a short period of time, and the elite cavalry led by Kong Peng was blocked from the periphery, and they were even killed without a clear consciousness?

Of course, there is another point that Zhang Xiong did not expect.

It was the number of quenched arrows stored before the Elite Army, which was more than they could have imagined.

Whether it was weakening the shield wall formed by the tower shield chariot, or deliberately paralyzing their side, the twelve Shenji chariots had already fired several rounds at the shield wall before they directly engaged in the battle at the beginning, and after the Shenji chariot tore the shield wall apart, the rain of quenched gold arrows poured out even more unscrupulously.

Zhang Xiong and the others could roughly estimate that in order to destroy their forward line, the elite army consumed 40,000 or 50,000 quenching arrows in a very short period of time; coupled with the unaware and frugal strafing of the elite army's war bird battalion, when Kong Peng's 5,000 elite cavalry were almost exhausted of casualties, the elite army should have consumed more than 100,000 quenching arrows.

Unlike the sharp heavy arrows used by the elite archers of the Montenegrin Army, only the arrow clusters are cast with finely wrought iron, and the entire body of the quenched arrows is made of quenched iron. In addition to being extremely sharp, it is also extremely heavy to start, so that the quenching body can have such terrifying penetrating power, and can cause such terrifying blows and damage after shooting into the human body.

100,000 quenched arrows means millions of catties of quenched iron.

Zhang Xiong and Kong Peng estimated before the war that the elite army relied on the support of Hexi and Juquanling, and secretly there were 30,000 or 40,000 gold-quenching arrows stored in the sky. Obviously, at this point, they have far underestimated the strength of the elite army, and underestimated the continuous and steady output damage of the mechanical repeater, so that they will quickly suffer a fatal blow if they show even the slightest flaw on the battlefield.

*****************

No one expected that the collapse of Kong Peng's elite cavalry would be so quick and sudden, and it would also severely damage the morale of the other rebels.

The battlefield on the south flank where Zhang Jun led his troops was slightly higher, and he could see the dead remains on the battlefield on the north flank, all of which were broken limbs and bones, as if Shura was hell, and he suddenly lost the courage to continue to advance northward, and he didn't even dare to force Ye Qinglin's department from the flank and back, so he stopped and patrolled, and watched Ye Qinglin lead his troops to turn directly from the middle road and force towards Yuchicheng.

Zhang Xiong, the lord of the Zhang clan, who killed Ye Chentian and usurped the throne and established himself as the lord of the Xiqiang Kingdom, was also shocked at this moment, seeing the more than 30,000 horsemen of the Ye royal army, like a rolling torrent pouring out, he panicked and made what may be the most fatal wrong decision in his life.

The battle formation of the Ye royal army, the core of the two thousand heavy armored cavalry has not yet played a role, but the armored horse formation has already shown an irresistible might.

Zhang Xiong panicked, did not think about fighting with his back to the Yuchicheng formation, did not think that as long as he could resist the impact of the Ye royal army in the front of the Yuchicheng, in addition to Zhang Jun's 20,000 cavalry in the south, there were 20,000 soldiers and horses in the north to reinforce the battlefield in the northern flank, all of which could be withdrawn in time to join them, he saw the Ye royal army coming from the middle road violently, and hastily ordered the 20,000 reserve soldiers and horses that were formed outside the east gate of Yuchicheng with him to withdraw into the city to hold on.

Zhang Xiong wanted to use the strong walls and defensive array of Yuchicheng to resist the charge of the armored horse formation, but the mistake he made at this time can be said to be fatal and irreparable.

Seeing this situation, there was no need for Chen Hai to tell him anything, Ye Qinglin immediately separated two thousand heavy armored cavalry and ten thousand light cavalry, led by Ye He and Jiang Zhe, and continued to approach the east gate of Yuchi City, intending to suppress Zhang Xiong's troops in Yuchi City and unable to get out.

When Ye Qinglin was in charge of the Northern and Southern Army of the Western Qiang Kingdom, Zhang Jun had served under him for a long time, and he knew that Zhang Jun seemed to have the cultivation of the peak of the Enlightenment Realm, but he was suspicious by nature and loved his life, and he would no longer dare to fight them to the death after the collapse of the battlefield in his northern flank.

Ye Qinglin didn't even pay attention to the 20,000 cavalry led by Zhang Jun on the southern flank battlefield at this time, he personally led the remaining 15,600 light armored cavalry, swept directly to the north, and Chen Hai flanked the 20,000 rebels who were retreating from the northern flank battlefield to Yuchicheng from the east and west sides.

The 20,000 rebels were also frightened at this time, and they couldn't even separate a part of the soldiers and horses behind the palace to intercept the chasing troops led by Chen Hai himself, composed of seven divine chariots and 3,000 elite cavalry, at this time, seeing Ye Qinglin leading 15,600 cavalry to pounce violently and play with a pincer attack, where did he dare to continue to withdraw to Yuchicheng?

The 20,000 rebels were mixed in foot and cavalry, seeing that there were evil tigers in front and fierce wolves in the back, only the north was still out of the gap, so they could only spread their feet and flee to the vast wilderness to the north.

Seeing that the command and organizational system of the 20,000 rebels were completely chaotic, the war bird battalion led by Wu Meng did not have to be threatened by accidents, and after shooting the arrow boxes they carried, they returned to the Nanjian Gorge Battalion to replace them with a new batch of arrow boxes, and directly pounced on them, and from the north against the direction of the rout's escape, the rain of quenched arrows was frantically and bloodily poured out, forcing most of the rout to flee to Tiele Ridge with their heads in their hands.

Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin's soldiers were united, and they did not pay attention to the fleeing rebels all over the world, but directly passed through the wilderness north of Yuchicheng, forced back Zhang Junsuo's troops who wanted to receive the lone army of Yuchicheng from the west gate, and successfully besieged Zhang Xiong in Yuchicheng.

Yuchicheng is not far from Lucheng, located in Nanjian Gorge thirty miles away, far from the prosperity of Lucheng, the city is also three or four miles square, there are only two city gates in the east and west, there is a gallop road through the city.

Zhang Xiong originally had the opportunity to break through from Xicheng in the huddle of Hu Wei.

Even before Wu Meng led the war bird battalion to block the sky above Yuchi City, Zhang Xiong had a chance to break through, after all, at that time, the Ye royal army was only blocking the two gates of Yuchi City, and had not really formed an encirclement like a net, Chen Hai and Ye Qinglin were not yet fully sure that they would intercept Zhang Xiong in the middle of the Dao Dan Realm.

However, Zhang Xiong hastily ordered the 20,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw to Yuchicheng, most of which were recruited by Zhang Xiong from the vicinity of Tianai Mountain, and thousands of them were directly descendants of the Zhang clan.

The 20,000 soldiers and horses can also be said to be the foundation of Zhang's intention to rule the Pinglu Oasis, Zhang Xiong was reluctant to abandon the 20,000 soldiers in Yuchicheng and flee alone, he hoped that he would stay and stick to Yuchicheng, and Kong Peng and Zhang Jun could still gather the remnants of the army in the periphery and reinvigorate themselves to relieve the siege.

************************

Kong Peng finally gathered hundreds of remnants of the army and rushed to Zangdan Peak, sixty miles west of Yuchicheng, to join Zhang Jun's headquarters. Seeing Zhang Jun gather the remnants of the army and regather nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in Zangdanfeng, Kong Peng did not feel the slightest relief, but his face was full of tears and panic.

With twice the absolute superiority of the enemy's troops and horses, who could have a rout that would come so easily and suddenly?

Zhang Jun didn't even figure out how they were defeated, and he didn't even understand how Valve Zhangxiong was trapped in Yuchicheng.

Tibetan Danfeng is a lonely mountain located in the northeast corner of the Pinglu Sea, the mountain is not precipitous, the left and right are low ridges, and it can be regarded as a key pass to enter the coast of the Pinglu Sea.

To the east of Zangdan Peak, there are two stone villages adjacent, Kong Peng and Zhang Jun stationed the remnants between these two stone villages, and forcibly recruited the people to dig trenches between the low ridges of Zangdan Peak from the east, and strengthened the defense of the two stone villages non-stop, and they can only do these things at present.

Although they still have 20,000 soldiers in Xiqiang Wangcheng and Tianai Mountain, and theoretically they can still gather 50,000 soldiers and horses to march east to relieve the siege of Yuchicheng, but do they still have the confidence to win the decisive battle with the elite army in Yuchicheng at this time?

Not only did several of their core generals have no confidence, but the middle and lower-level generals and ordinary soldiers below are also panicking, and this is even more fatal.

Kong Peng's descendants were almost wiped out in this battle, and the soldiers recruited by the Zhang family from near Tianai Mountain were all trapped in Yuchicheng with Zhang Xiong, and the remnants of the soldiers who fled with Zhang Jun to the west and collected in Zangdanfeng were mainly the soldiers and horses of the northern and southern armies that Zhang Xiong usurped and took over.

Although these soldiers and horses did not die for the Ye family, they did not have the consciousness of unyielding for the Zhang family. At this time, they were under the powerful and fatal pressure of the Elite Army, and they were forced to retreat to Zangdan Peak to keep warm, but the Elite Army and the Ye Royal Army led by Ye Qinglin did not continue to chase westward, but gave priority to completing the siege of Yuchicheng.

Although Kong Peng prides himself on being a famous general, he wants to cry without tears in the face of the current situation, so he can only sit back and hope that a miracle will happen.
