Chapter 298: Half-Crossing Strike
No longer with the usual calmness of coming, Sharad ordered the army to cross the river as soon as possible.
Tiga made Sharad strange and handsome, obviously not to face the Tianzhu army across the river. The main purpose is Fahrenheit. It is one of the largest, most prosperous and richest city-states in Gundam, and it is the heart of Tiga. Land can be lost, people can die, but none of these three city-states, Diga is willing to lose.
During the march, Sharad thought about all the things that had happened before and after, and secretly scolded Shajab and Darip. These two guys are making trouble everywhere, and in order to grab credit, they will do everything they can. Let yourself be completely confused, and miss the point.
It is indeed important to win the battle and annihilate the Tianzhu army. But King Tiga's bottom line is to hold Fahrenheit. If Fahrenheit City is lost, even if more Tianzhu troops are annihilated, what is the use? The Tianzhu army suddenly appeared on the east bank, like a ghost, and Sharad felt that something was wrong.
This step-by-step seems to be a perfect trap. Their purpose has always been Fahrenheit! After thinking about it, Sharad finally understood.
"Quick, fast forward, hurry up and cross the river!" Sharad ordered.
Not long after they turned their horses' heads, Liu Feng was ready to arrange for the army to be dispatched. There are only 90,000 soldiers and horses left in the city, and Liu Feng is ready to take out 80,000 and leave 10,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city.
"Your Majesty, there are still 100,000 troops of Darip outside the city, are these 10,000 soldiers and horses a little thin?" Ma Jian asked.
In fact, Liu Feng had already thought of this, but Zhao Yun and Sula had an army of more than 200,000 under their command. As long as they make a move on their side, Zhao Yun and they will never be polite, and it is difficult to say how many of Darip's 100,000 soldiers and horses can be left.
"You Chang rest assured, Zilong and they were chased all the way along the buttocks, and it is estimated that they can't help it for a long time, and the 100,000 soldiers of Darip are not enough for them to clean up." Liu Feng waved his hand, unimpressed.
When Liu Feng and the others arrived at the Hanadi River, Sharad's army had just begun to cross the river, and 200,000 troops were not a small number, as well as horses and baggage, and it would take some time to cross the river. The Gundam Army was very anxious, and Sharad and several of his generals were about to jump to their feet, constantly ordering the soldiers to speed up their actions.
"Do it?" Biro looked at the army that had crossed the river, and about half of them had already crossed the river. The so-called half-crossing attack is talking about the present.
"No hurry, wait." Liu Feng has been paying attention to Sharad, and at the same time, he has to pay attention to the situation on the other side.
Sharad has always been cautious, but this time he is really in a hurry. Nearly 100,000 troops approached quietly, and he didn't even notice it, and was trying to find a way to cross the river quickly. Seeing that the troops were almost halfway over, he himself boarded the boat, ready to lead the vanguard and save Fahrenheit City first.
This is the time to wait, Sharad is in the middle of the river, the east bank is dusty, and it is estimated that Pei Xingyan's troops are also about to arrive. Liu Feng's arm waved violently, and the 100,000 troops of the Tianzhu Kingdom pounced on Sharad's troops.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The roar was loud and loud, like a hammer pounding on Sharad's chest.
"Fight back! Counterattack! He cried out in the middle of the river.
However, the sound of the river and the cacophony of shouts drowned out his voice. Sharad scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry, not to the east, not to the west. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that Fahrenheit City was important, so he could only urge the soldiers to row quickly and go to the east coast.
Fortunately, there was also a lieutenant in the West Bank, named Markieff, who was black and strong, with messy hair and beard, and from a distance he looked like a big black stick on top of this brush. He was left behind by Sharad to deal with the unexpected.
"Line up! Meet the enemy! "This guy has a loud voice, and after a few bursts of applause, the troops are not so flustered.
There are still about 100,000 troops remaining in the West Bank. Markieff was well aware that if properly organized, these troops would have hope of staying alive. If there is chaos, these 100,000 people will have to be explained here.
"Line up a fart team, they're all gone, we just need to cross the river!" Among the 100,000 troops, Sharad's personal soldiers were only 3,000. Not everyone obeyed the order so much, and a prickly head shouted loudly and trotted all the way in the direction of the Hanadi River, ready to cross the river first, no matter what. Even if you swim past, you don't hesitate to do it.
With the first there will be a second, and soon, a small group of people will run with him. The rest of the troops, while looking at the Tianzhu army that was getting closer and closer, looked at this group of people, they were hesitating, should they fight or go? That's a problem.
Markieff is an experienced general, and he knows that whether the troops are gathered or dispersed is now very critical.
He rode to the fleeing group of soldiers, and hundreds of pro-guards around him waved their blades, not leaving his left and right. A hundred or so people quickly caught up with the group of fleeing guys, raised their knives and slashed, and in the blink of an eye, they killed them cleanly.
"If you don't listen to the command, this is the end. Whole team, kill! Raising his knife, dripping with the blood of a deserter, Markieff commanded loudly.
"Kill!" The soldiers gave up, mustered up their courage, and rushed to the Tianzhu army.
The river beach has a slope, and although the slope is gentle, the Gundam Army is still clearly at the bottom of the slope. Moreover, the Tianzhu army has been charging for a while, with speed and more holy momentum. The Gundam Army rushed into battle, and their preparations were too inadequate. After a few charges, the hastily pulled up formation dispersed.
The battle of more than 200,000 people was very shocking. The shouts of killing shook the sky, and of course, many unlucky people fell covered in blood. The corpses began to pile up, and the river began to turn red. General Biro led his troops to rush to the front line, he rushed left and right, very heroic, and the Gundam soldiers who died under him were not a hundred but dozens.
Liu Feng sat on horseback and stood on a high slope, he carefully looked at both sides of the river.
The west bank has been fighting for a while, and on the east bank, Pei Xingyan's army did not rush to charge after arriving, he took 50,000 troops, set up a position on the river bank, and looked condescendingly at Sharad's troops. Having traveled all the way, they need to catch their breath, and besides, it is good to start the war a little later.
As long as the east coast does not fight, there is hope in the hearts of the soldiers of Gundam on the west coast. In layman's terms, don't push them too hard, if they fall into despair, it will make them burst out with stronger combat effectiveness. Let them maintain the hope of escaping, and they will not be able to do their best when fighting, which is beneficial to Liu Feng and them.
Sharad had just come ashore at this time, and the rowing was so anxious that he got into the water, and he didn't pay any attention to it, and began to purge the army, and prepare for the fight.
It took a while for the troops to finally be purged. The cavalry was in front and the infantry in the rear, and the troops were spread out as much as possible to avoid crowding on the river banks. As soon as Sharad gave the order, the battle on the east bank began.
