Chapter 179: A Brutal Battlefield

Outside Julu City is now full of bones, and the blood-stained banners on the battlefield are written with the names of the commanders of each army. Flying crows in the sky will peck at corpses before the caravan comes to bury them.

The soldiers who came to collect the corpses were no longer strange at this time, the corpses of the previous days had already begun to decompose, and these soldiers who collected the corpses gave priority to bringing the officers back for burial, and only a small number of these ordinary soldiers could be brought back for burial.

Both armies that had been fighting during the day now acquiesced to each other's corpse collection teams to collect the corpses, and when these corpses decomposed, it was very likely to cause a plague.

Ordinary sergeants are buried on the spot, and the officers above the rank of captain are all people of some status, and they can get the reward of the people above when they bring them back to the army.

"With so many brothers dead, how long will this battle last?" A soldier who collected the body picked up a shovel and dug shallow pits to bury the body.

Hearing the words of his comrades-in-arms beside him, a soldier said: "Oh, the food in our army should have been eaten up a long time ago, if it weren't for the death of so many brothers, we would have run out of food and retired from the army, but I heard the men say that they may have to reduce the amount of food in the next few days, and according to my experience, there is less than half a month left in the army."

The crows of crows hovering in the sky broke the silence of the dusk, and the corpse collection teams of the two armies only slightly avoided each other when they saw each other.

There was no emotion on the faces of both sides, and tragic scenes had long been commonplace. War always wears away the glory of life without realizing it.

"The people of the Zhi family on the other side, why don't you retreat!"

"Zhao family, why don't you leave, if you continue to fight, we will all go to the battlefield if we continue to fight."

At a distance of only a dozen meters, the corpse collection teams on both sides suddenly began to shout to each other, which was both weird and extremely harmonious.

The two sides were like meeting fellow countrymen in a foreign country, and both sides were talking while burying the corpses.

Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, and it was about to be the day to return to the camp, a member of the Zhao family's corpse collection team shouted at the top of his voice: "Hey! Are you coming here tomorrow? ”

"I should come again, if there is no war or if we are not enemies, I really want to have a good drink with you, and order a few plates of appetizers."

"Hmph, I hope to see you again tomorrow, take care of my enemies."

Bai Han, the head of the Zhi family, looked at the accounts handed over by the master book, and now he was worried. This grain could not last for half a month, and some time ago, in order to ensure the morale of the soldiers, the daily amount of food was not reduced, but the chief bookkeeper repeatedly warned that the food was about to be exhausted, so the grain had to be cut.

"I'm afraid that in two days, the war horses will be slaughtered to satisfy hunger, why is this coalition still not retreating, isn't their order to rush back as soon as possible to block Nanyan's reinforcements." Bai Han is restless at the moment, he has been marching and fighting for so many years, and has gone through countless battles of all sizes, and how many times he has been rolling on the knife mountain.

But this time, Bai Han was extremely nervous, his death in battle was small, and the last mobile force of the Zhi family, which had been loyal for many years, could not be lost in his own hands.

The adjutant general beside him has also followed Bai Han for many years, and it is the first time he has seen his general so nervous. "The general is late at night, and the war will continue tomorrow."

Bai Han sighed slowly and said: "This army will generally lose its combat effectiveness if it loses more than thirty percent of the battle, and if it loses more than fifty percent and has not collapsed, it will be an iron army." At present, most of our army has lost 40% of the battle, and most of the soldiers are now about to lose their fighting spirit. ”

The adjutant general remembered the previous information, swallowed his saliva, and said slowly: "But this coalition army has not received an order to retreat within a time limit, and their losses should be even greater than ours."

What Bai Han and the deputy general didn't know was that the Nanyan army was indeed making rapid progress, but it was under a small city, and the county commander led the young men in the city to defend the city and stubbornly blocked the Nanyan vanguard army for five days.

In just five days, the Hufu knight quickly overthrew Zhongli's territory from the battlefield of confrontation with the Zhi family. Zhong Lijia also issued an order for the mobilization of the whole territory, and tens of thousands of garrison troops and nearly 100,000 people began to mobilize.

When the Southern Yan army was about to go around, they found that there were 4,000 more cavalry on horses outside the city.

Murong Kang, the vanguard of the Southern Yan Army, looked at the neat horse team opposite, and was dressed in Hu people's clothes.

"I really didn't expect this Hufu knight of the Zhao family to rush to the battlefield so quickly, General Pei, how does our five thousand white horse flying horses compare to the momentum of the Hufu on the opposite side." Murong Kang said in a disdainful tone.

The white horse of the Murong family is the foundation of Nanyan's country, and it is not a small expense to gather five thousand horses, not to mention that it is a rare white horse.

The soldiers on the white horse are all able to bend their bows and shoot geese, and they are like apes on horseback. On a galloping horse, he bent his bow and shot an arrow at a target a hundred paces away, and nine out of ten shots were shot.

General Pei also said with confidence, after all, this white horse flying horse has never been defeated since its establishment, and at most it is just a draw.

"We have more soldiers and horses than those knights in beard, and our soldiers are all white horses. It is precisely because of the blessing of the white horse that our flying horses are invincible,"

"Good! Pass the order, the whole army will attack, and give these Zhao family members a good look at the strength of our Murong family. ”

"The last general will take the white horse and ride over to kill them, and he will definitely kill them without leaving a piece of armor." After speaking, General Pei led the white horse flying horsemen to prepare to attack.

The White Horse Riders are never afraid of their enemies, and their bows and spears will crush their enemies and challenge them.

Looking at the dust brought up by the white horse flying horse, Li Ren smiled, "This white horse flying horse has never suffered a big loss, it will be so rampant, are the soldiers ready, let these people riding white horses stay in this land forever!" ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Looking at the approaching white horse flying horse, the bearded knight led by Li Ren did not start running. Cavalry combat is generally short-handed, depending on who has the fastest horse speed and whether the fighting skills are superb.

However, the knights in the bearded clothes did not seem to have the intention of taking the initiative to attack, all of this was seen by the white horse flying horsemen who rushed to the front, although there were many doubts in their hearts, but if they lowered the horse without authorization, the comrades behind would inevitably make people turn on their backs.

"It's strange, it's not a fool that this bearded knight is still standing in place." General Pei said to himself on his horse.

When things go wrong, there must be a demon, and there must be some conspiracy in all this.

Suddenly, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot out of the military formation of the knights in the bearded clothes. It's ridiculous, how could a cavalryman's bow shoot so far.
