Chapter 61: A Great Victory

Mel was not the only one in the Byrensburg Army, a Lighting magician. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Lulu's younger brother, Tal, is also a Rytin magician. Although he does not have a graduation certificate from the Academy of Magic, he is a good seedling who has been cultivated by the family alone, and his strength is beyond doubt. During the rebellion in Saktin, Tal participated in actual combat for the first time, and used Rytin's magic to kill someone for the first time, protecting his family.

Lulu and Ista are also Lytin magicians. They were not warriors, so they were left in the camp by Mel on the day of the battle. Even if they were on the ground, Mair would not let them go into battle.

At the moment when the frontal defense line was broken by the cavalry of the Xiaohu Army, Maier and Taal led nearly 100 guards to the front line. The two of them each constructed dozens of magic arrows to shoot the Xiaohu cavalry who broke through the defense line, and then led the army to meet the Xiaohu army soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to completely tear apart the defense line.

The warriors of the Lord's Guard were ashamed to see Maier personally in battle. They felt that if they tried a little harder to prevent the enemy from breaking through the defenses, Maier would not have to put himself at risk. Thinking of this, their tired bodies were filled with killing intent and strength, and they went crazy to kill the Xiaohu army.

The same man, someone dares to charge at an enemy several times his own, why is he so afraid that he can't even hold a weapon? The blood of the soldiers of the Byronsburg Army was ignited by the furious aura emanating from the Lord's Guard, and they all roared and killed. At this time, the Chinese position had completely abandoned the defense, and more and more soldiers launched a counter-charge against the enemy, and even a considerable number of crossbowmen directly threw away their weapons, rushed to the front to pick up melee weapons, and fought desperately with the Xiaohu army.

The Xiaohu army was also ruthless. The soldiers of the Xiaohu Army, who had lost their comrades and brothers, also went crazy and killed the Byrensburg army. The sound of weapons colliding on the battlefield is becoming less and less, and the sound of swords entering flesh and guns piercing through the body is increasing. The warriors on both sides all gave up their defenses, because they were already red-eyed, and they would kill the enemy in front of them, even if it was for their lives.

The line had not yet been breached, and the muskets were still roaring. The number of crossbowmen became smaller and smaller, as more and more crossbowmen discarded their weapons and joined hand-to-hand combat. There were more and more corpses on the ground, and the blood stained the ground beneath the corpses, and it went down the slope and merged into dark red streams, which flowed to the bottom of the high slope.

This stream made of blood completely shattered the morale of the Xiaohu army, which had not yet gone up the mountain. The shouts of killing on the mountain are still there, and their own side has not yet been defeated, but not many people have the courage to face or even meet death in the sea of corpses and blood. They are too far away from the battlefield to be infected by the emotions of the warriors, and their brains and hearts are calm. As long as people can live, they don't want to die, everyone has concerns, even if it's just their usual cups, or pets at home, it can also arouse people's desire to survive.

When people don't want to die, they are afraid of death. To be afraid is to be afraid, and to be afraid is to retreat. From the moment the first soldier of the Xiaohu Army dropped his weapon and turned to flee at the foot of the high slope, the Xiaohu Army had already lost the battle.

The Xiaohu army on the high slope was still fighting bravely, but there was no one behind them, because their friendly troops had not even seen the battlefield, and they were already broken and crushed. Armed with a sword and spear wounds in his left leg and flank, Mair noticed a routing enemy at the bottom of the slope after slashing one enemy and slamming two more through the heads with a magic arrow. Knowing that the opportunity had come, he called out Tár's name.

Tal was behind Mel, and he was wounded in two places, one in his left leg with a crossbow bolt stuck in it, and the other in his left arm, a knife wound, and the skin and muscles of his forearm were cut open, revealing white bones and bleeding profusely, and this knife he blocked for Mel. Mel's wounds were also inflicted on Tar, and he used his body to block the enemy's spears for him. It happened suddenly, and Mel didn't have time to build a magic shield, so he had to turn sideways to block the blow from behind for Thal.

On the battlefield, your back can only be protected by your comrades, whose weapons and bodies are your shields, and your weapons and bodies are also their shields. Mel thinks he can be a warrior, but he is the lord of Byronsburg, and he carries the whole of Byronsburg on his shoulders, so he cannot be a warrior, let alone a shield for others.

Because of this, Maritthal's act of blocking the spear seriously irritated the nerves of the Byrensburg army, making them even more insane. The Xiaohu army on the high slope is also very tenacious, but it is a pity that they have become a lone army, and if one dies, there will be one less, while more and more people from the Byrensburg army have joined hand-to-hand combat.

Mel told Taal to find the trumpeters and heralds, for the trumpeters to blow the trumpets, and for the heralds to go to the reserves and the Ilibi cavalry to deliver the order to counterattack. The corpses and blood of the warriors made Maier forget the goal set before the battle, and prepared to annihilate the Xiaohu army at all costs. Tal dragged his wounded body and collapsed before he took two steps. Two nearby guards hurriedly helped him up, tore off his clothes under the cover of his comrades, and bandaged Tár's wounds. Tal told them to find the trumpeter and herald, and one of the guards, who was not injured, quickly ran away and went to the back to find the trumpeter and herald.

Most of the trumpeters and heralds went to the front to take part in the battle, and it took a great deal of effort for the guards to find a few trumpeters and a few heralds in the musket unit. He had the trumpeters blow the trumpets as quickly as possible, and the heralds to convey Mel's orders to the reservists and the Ilibi cavalry.

The heralds and trumpeters were all ancient people, and they carried out Myr's orders as quickly as possible. A hurried trumpet sounded, and the heralds, on their way to the positions of the reserves and the Ilibi cavalry, shouted loudly to the men on the battlefield, telling them that the Byrensburg army was now launching a counterattack.

The rapid sound of the trumpets was like sparks, igniting the blood of the Byronsburg army. Everyone took up their weapons and ran down the high slope. At this time, the Xiaohu Army had completely dispersed, and even the cavalry of the Xiaohu Army deployed on both sides of the Chinese army's position began to waver. When hundreds or thousands of Byronsburg troops were slaughtered from the high slopes, these cavalry could have charged them, so that they could turn defeat into victory. However, the scattered Xiaohu Army made the cavalry feel very confused, and the commander's order did not come for a long time.

In fact, the commander of the Xiaohu Army had already sent someone to convey this order, and just in case, he sent a lot of heralds out. Some of them fled out of the commander's sight, and the rest tried to deliver orders, but were caught up by the scattered Xiaohu army. Some heralds tried to break through the crowd, but without exception they were pushed to the ground and trampled to death.

Just as the commanders of the two cavalry were hesitating to retreat in an orderly manner, two Ilibi cavalry suddenly attacked from both sides of the high slope. Their appearance became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing the two Xiaohu Army cavalry to collapse in an instant and flee in all directions. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Southwestern Route Army and the Southeast Route Army wanted to retreat in an orderly manner, but the Byrensburg Army on the left and right flanks took the opportunity to kill the high slope and did not give them a chance to retreat at all.

The fierce fighting of the Chinese positions was fully watched by the Byrensburg troops on the left and right flanks, and the heroic fighting posture of the friendly troops gave them great stimulation and made their blood boil. Now that the opportunity to fight back has come, how can they sit on the sidelines?

The Byrensburg army counterattacked on all fronts, and the Xiaohu army was routed on all fronts. Some clever routs looked for an opportunity to break away from the crowd and find a safe place to hide. The Byrensburg army clung to the back of the Xiaohu army, and no one searched for those places along the way where they could hide. The retreating Xiaohu army scrambled and pushed each other in the process of escaping, and as long as any of them fell to the ground, they would be trampled to death by friendly troops.

The Taeyong nobles fled only after the army had broken up, but they had already been at the forefront of the rout. Because they have loyal guards who help them slash and slash the routers who stand in their way, they can escape the battlefield as quickly as possible. They rushed all the way in the direction of their own camp, and the routs instinctively followed the nobles and officials together, so the rout of the Xiaohu army was all running towards the Xiaohu army camp outside Yaolin City.

The scene of tens of thousands of routs rushing to Yaolin City shocked the sentinels of Yaolin City so much that they almost forgot to report this important news to their superiors. No one expected that the hundreds of thousands of troops of the Xiaohu Army would collapse in one day, so the defenders of Yaolin City and the Xiaohu Army camp were not prepared accordingly at all. However, Yaolin City's side is slightly better, at least the officers and soldiers are psychologically ready to fight back under Teng Yan's flickering.

By the time the Taeyong nobles fled back to the camp, the Ilibi cavalry had caught up with the rout of the Xiaohu army at the rear. The swords and spears in their hands turned into the scythes of death, reaping the lives of the routers. It didn't take long for the retreating cavalry of the Xiaohu Army to also come to the front of the camp. In the panic, they did not bother to answer the questions of the officers on duty and went directly to the camp. The defenders outside the camp gate could be the opponent of thousands of cavalry, and in just a few breaths, the camp gate was breached, and the officers and soldiers who did not have time to escape became the ghosts of the horses.

The raid of the routed cavalry caused great confusion in the camp, and the panic of defeat spread through the camp like a terrible virus. Some of the cavalry were frightened and did not dare to slow down after entering the camp, as if they wanted to pass directly through the camp and flee back to their hometown. In order to avoid further confusion, the lords immediately sent men to intercept and kill these cavalry.

At this time, the battalion was already very chaotic, and many soldiers who did not want to fight anymore took advantage of the chaos to desert. When the lords learned of this, they sent people to intercept the deserters. But this did not deter the remaining soldiers, but also provoked the deserters to resist. Some clever deserters shouted in the camp, saying that the Xiaohu army was defeated, and if they didn't flee, everyone would die here. When some people who didn't want to run away heard this, they had the idea of running away. Others saw those who had fled and wanted to run away.

In this way, the number of deserters is increasing, and the killing cannot be finished. Many of the troops that went to intercept the deserters were instead routed by the deserters. The deserters knew that they might not survive simply by escaping from the camp because they had no food. They came up with the idea of a granary, so it didn't take long for the granary of the Xiaohu Army to be attacked by a large number of deserters, and the lords heard the news and hurriedly sent troops to rescue. The troops guarding the granaries did not know whether they were friends or foes, and even the friendly troops who came to support them fought together.

The defeat is like a mountain......

Teng Yan stood on the city gate tower and looked at the chaotic enemy camp outside the city, sighing excitedly. After sighing, he immediately gathered his troops and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to attack the camp of the Xiaohu army and defeat it in one fell swoop.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Xiaohu Army, who had fled in the direction of the camp, saw that they could not outrun the horses of the Ilibians and surrendered on their knees. The Ilibi cavalry was very disciplined, and remembering Meier's order not to kill prisoners of war, they went past those who were kneeling and surrendered, and went to kill those who were still fleeing. Some of the surrenderers were kind-hearted, and when they saw that the Ilibians were still chasing and killing their fleeing companions, they shouted to them and told them to get down on their knees and surrender.

In this way, more and more Xiaohu troops surrendered on their knees. The Ilibi cavalry left some men to guard the captives, and the rest continued the pursuit. Since the Ilibi cavalry had not participated in the battle, and had rested in the rear for an afternoon, the men and horses were full of energy, so when the defenders of Yaolin City had not yet assembled, they fought all the way to the camp of the Xiaohu army.

When the Ilibi officer saw that the camp of the Xiaohu army was in disarray, he directly led his men to attack the camp without seeking instructions from Meier. There is no doubt that they are making their own claims, but it turns out that they are doing the right thing. If they sent someone to ask Maier for instructions, by the time Maier's order came, the defenders of Yaolin City would have already entered the Xiaohu army's camp, and the supplies in the Xiaohu army's camp would have nothing to do with the Byrensburg army.

The appearance of thousands of Ilibi cavalry completely collapsed the large camp of the Xiaohu Army. The deserters did not care about looting food, so they abandoned their weapons and fled. Seeing that the tide was turning, the Taeyong nobles fled with their guards. When the soldiers saw that the nobles had fled, they naturally lost the will to fight, so they obediently dropped their weapons and surrendered, only a few of them resisted stubbornly, and these resistors were mercilessly killed by the Ilibi cavalry.

After this, the Ilibi cavalry quickly took over the entire battalion, and immediately controlled the food and baggage in the battalion. By the time the defenders of Yaolin City came out, they couldn't even drink the soup.
