Volume 2 Counting the Edge and Revealing the Peak of the Martial Arts Chapter 174

However, the first dead men who were ambushed on both sides did not give them a chance to breathe, and just after one round of shooting, the second round of fire came again, and then another one was shot down.

After only a few rounds of shooting, the White Horse Yicong suffered heavy casualties, and at this moment, the first dead soldiers who were lying in ambush on both sides rushed forward, put down their heavy crossbows, drew their giant swords, and rushed into the chaotic ranks of the White Horse Yicong, and fought them hand-to-hand.

At this time, Gongsun Chan made another fatal mistake.

When he found that the ambushes on both sides were exhausted, instead of ordering a retreat, he chose to fight these first-class soldiers.

He found that these ambushes were less than a thousand people, although his White Horse Yi Cong had suffered a lot of casualties in the ambush just now, but he still had an absolute advantage in numbers, he did not want to admit that his impulsive rash led to a fiasco, he was like a gambler who had lost a red eye, and felt that he could win the situation back, so he ordered the White Horse Yi to not retreat, but to rearrange the position and continue to charge.

Gongsun Zhan's decision eventually led to the annihilation of this elite army that had been crisscrossing Hebei for many years, and at that time, he was still fantasizing about turning defeat into victory, breaking through the ambush circle here in one fell swoop and fighting head-on with Yuan Shaojun's main force, and achieving the final victory.

But it is always the side that knows the situation on the battlefield that determines the outcome of the war, and blind decisions will only plunge the army into the abyss of destruction.

Bai Ma Yicong's two major stunts across the battlefield, mobility and mounted archery, were all lost because of this ambush.

In front of them is the corpses of their companions forming an obstacle, unable to continue the charge, and around them are the first dead soldiers who rushed up to fight with them, if they can temporarily retreat, the white horse servants can still regroup, advance can attack, retreat can defend, with their excellent mobility, they will have a great advantage in the open battlefield, which is the real reason why they can gallop Hebei.

And Gongsun Zhan, who misjudged the battlefield situation, thought that even in the state of close combat, his ace army could easily defeat the first dead soldiers, so he ignored all kinds of battlefield factors that were extremely unfavorable to Bai Ma Yicong.

Without the advantage of the maneuverability of the war horse, the white horse in the chaos was at a loss in the face of the first dead soldiers in close hand-to-hand combat.

Their spears and bows, and even their proud white horses, became difficult to use in such an environment, and the spears were not conducive to use in small spaces, and they had to worry about accidentally injuring their comrades, so the spears in their hands were not used, and they were not used.

Not to mention bows and arrows, originally riding and archery was one of their stunts, and using bows and arrows to shoot in fast movement can be said to have a great advantage over the army that is not as mobile as theirs, but now, let alone the advantage, they don't even have the opportunity to shoot arrows with a bow.

The 800 soldiers who were the first to die, in the face of the white horse servants who far outnumbered themselves, did not have the slightest fear, they rushed into the formation of the white horse servants with their huge swords, slashed the knights, cut the war horses, and in the chaos, everywhere they passed, the white horse fell everywhere.

Even if they were occasionally stabbed by the White Horse Servants, their heavy armor and immortal bodies, completely ignoring the damage, still tirelessly slaughtered their enemies.

It wasn't until he fought with these monster-like Xiandeng Dead Soldiers that Gongsun Chan realized that he was wrong, he found that these soldiers could not be killed at all, and they were very powerful, one person had ten times the strength of ordinary people, not to mention the almost perverted speed, and the will to fight endlessly, he felt that his army was not fighting with the living, but a group of machines that would not stop attacking.

"Retreat!"

When Gongsun Chan finally recognized the reality and wanted to lead the remaining White Horse Righteous to retreat, it was already too late, and his orders could not be conveyed to the side of his subordinates, and the wails of the White Horse Righteous Servants before they died were all around, resounding throughout the battlefield.

At this moment, Gongsun Chan even had the illusion that this was not a battlefield, but purgatory.

At this time, he was already covered in wounds, and the beloved horse that had followed him for many years had also been disemboweled, and in the previous battle, he was disemboweled, and in exchange for such a tragic price, it was only a temporary stop of the attack of the first deceased.

I saw that Gongsun Zhan's long sword was deeply embedded in the neck of the first dead soldier in front of him, this was a sword he used his last strength to cut out, and half of the neck of the first dead man was cut off, he was no longer able to fight, and he didn't even have a war horse, so he could only

Wait for death to come.

Seeing that the first dead man who had half of his neck cut off, after a moment of silence, he began to move again, his eyes once again glowed with blood-red glow, and then he stretched out his left hand and held it directly on Gongsun Zhan's long sword, so rudely pulled out the long sword embedded in his neck.

The moment he pulled out the long sword, the green liquid splashed out, which was not the color of human blood at all, which further showed that these guys in front of Gongsun Chan were indeed not human.

"Hahaha!"

In the face of such a desperate situation, Gongsun Zhan looked up to the sky and laughed miserably, he didn't expect that he had been crisscrossing Hebei for most of his life, and the Wuhuan in the north would avoid him when he heard his name.

"Don't panic, Zilong is here!"

Just when the first soldier in front of Gongsun Zhan was about to kill him, Zhao Zilong arrived in time, and when he learned that the main force in front of him was ambushed, he ran to the front line to savior alone.

It's not that he was reckless, leaving the rear army alone, and he had to go alone, but the army left by Gongsun Chan in the rear was full of old and weak infantry troops.

In his eyes, the troops who can't run faster than him are just some burdens, so every time they fight, those who stay in the rear are only some weak brigades responsible for supplying supplies and acting as momentum.

At this time, Bai Ma Yicong in front encountered an ambush, and Zhao Zilong couldn't even take them to the rescue.

Not to mention that the combat effectiveness of this infantry army is worrying, and if they go, they will only be sent to death, just the speed at which they rush over, I am afraid that Gongsun Zhan's body is already cold.

So Zhao Zilong went to savior alone, he didn't expect to be able to save the entire army, but as long as Gongsun Zhan, the core of the army, could survive, then they still had hope.

Zhao Zilong is such a bold and calm person.
