Chapter 361: Narrowly Won the Great Battle (Part II)
Under the bombardment of the artillery of the Shenji Battalion, Lei Youde's front suffered a fatal blow again, this time the phalanxes on the right flank of Lei Youde who were shelled failed to maintain high morale, and after being covered by artillery fire, the remaining members of these phalanxes of demon thieves all turned around and fled to the woods, no longer obeying Lei Youde's orders. Lan Ziyi could see the heralds speeding out of a phalanx trying to make the scattered demon thieves stop retreating, but no one paid attention to the heralds.
In fact, the damage caused by this shelling was not large, and the total number of dead and wounded demon thieves who were shot was less than one-third of the number of people in the queue, but the demon thieves collapsed under such artillery fire. Lei Youde and even the rebellious reincarnation Dao demon thieves have indeed fought with the official army many times, and they have extremely rich experience in dealing with the official army, but the cavalry led by Lan Ziyi caused the most damage to the demon thieves when they fought before, although the Shenji battalion led by Qi Rongxun was also put into battle, but it did not conduct a large-scale field battle with the demon thieves, let alone discharge so many cannons to fight to the death, the demon thieves can now fight to the death with Lan Ziyi's cavalry, but they can't deal with the artillery of the Shenji battalion, They even lined up in a dense phalanx, which was of course advantageous against cavalry charges, but when faced with artillery strikes, it was suicide.
The soldiers under Lan Ziyi couldn't help but raise their swords and call out after seeing the demon thief being defeated by the cannonball. Lan Ziyi turned his head and glanced at the main force fighting with the demon thieves over there, under the leadership of the captain, the infantry were wearing iron armor, and they were still squeezing the line to the west despite being tired, and the retreating demon thieves who could not wait for the support of the rear army also lost the signs of reorganization and re-battle just now, and continued to vent westward. The current form is very good, and Lan Ziyi, who was motivated for the first time, said to the sergeants with high morale:
"The heart of the demon thief army has been dispersed, and today's victory is ours! Push me harder and let me rush this one last time today! β
When the sergeants heard this, they shouted.
Lan Ziyi led the soldiers to gallop west for a long time, and when he got around to the line with the demon thief front, Lan Ziyi began to lead the soldiers to turn around and go south, outflanking the demon thief.
The demon thieves have always been very concerned about Lan Ziyi's actions, and after Lan Ziyi began to turn around, the demon thieves immediately divided their men and lined up backwards, preparing to block Lan Ziyi.
Tao Zhuhu, who was guarding Lan Ziyi's side, looked at the war horse under his crotch and said to Lan Ziyi:
"The horse is dying, and we can only rush again."
ε °εδΉ says:
"Once is enough, I really don't believe that Lei Youde can withstand this impact."
Then Lan Ziyi leaned towards Tao Zhuhu, pointed to one of the demon thieves and said:
"Did the eldest brother see a lot of soldiers coming out of that formation just now to gather the defeated army?"
Tao Zhuhu looked at Lan Ziyi's point, and then said:
"Young master, do you mean the demon thief army formation on the slightly farther side of that platoon? I have seen what the young master said, and it should be Lei Youde's main formation like this. β
Lan Ziyi glanced up at Tao Zhuhu and said:
"Big brother, I'll leave it to you."
Tao Zhuhu lowered his eyebrows and locked his gaze over there, and the murderous aura on his body was also restrained by the focused gaze, converged, and finally nailed to the demon thieves over there, even if Lan Ziyi was just watching the killing intent from the side, if Lan Ziyi was allowed to stand in that formation, I am afraid that his back would be cold at this time.
Tao Zhuhu nodded lightly and replied simply:
"Understood, young master."
Then he was silent, just marched forward, the only difference was that Tao Zhuhu's eyes did not let go of the demon thief, and his killing intent had locked the demon thief's side.
When Lan Ziyi and Tao Zhuhu were talking, Zhang Yanwu didn't come over to join in the fun, his attention was all on the demon thief in front of him, and the sergeants began to accelerate to the demon thief after turning around, at this time, the distance between the soldiers and the demon thief was already very close, and the demon thief phalanx that came out to intercept Lan Ziyi on the opposite side had been arranged neatly, and the whole army was holding spears like hedgehogs, which could really be said to be airtight.
Zhang Yanwu looked at the hedgehog array in front of him and asked Lan Ziyi:
"Weihou, the demon thief is tightly guarded, let's go around."
Lan Ziyi looked at the demon thief in front of him, and then glanced at Qi Rongxun's army formation, which was running towards the demon thief, and said:
"Although the demon thieves are tightly guarded this formation, our army's ironclad elite cavalry is not unbreakable, and the demon thieves who came out to intercept us just now are more than that, right? Where are the rest? β
Zhang Yanwu said impatiently when he heard this:
"Wei Hou, you are so suspicious, but you want to delay the fighter, at this speed, it won't be long before we will crash into the demon thief spear, even if we can trample on the enemy in front of us, we will lose the opportunity to support Qi Hou, you must know that we are not fighting alone now."
It is true that there is not much time left as Zhang Yanwu said, although Lan Ziyi feels that there seems to be something wrong with the demon thief's arrangement, but he does not have so much time to think carefully. As a last resort, Lan Ziyi ordered the whole army to bypass the demon thief spear formation and go straight to the main force of Lei Youde and Qi Rongxun fighting behind.
Because the team sent by Lei Youde to intercept Lan Ziyi happened to be stuck on the road that Lan Ziyi and their impact must pass, at this time, if they wanted to maintain the impact, they could only brush the edge of the demon thief army formation and bypass, if they wanted to change the offensive route, they had to turn around and start again, this Lan Ziyi couldn't accept it.
Lan Ziyi led his soldiers to deviate from the original offensive line, and the whole army almost bypassed the demon thief army formation from the side with the tip of the demon thief's spear. Lan Ziyi gritted his teeth to make this decision, he carefully looked at the demon thief army formation, and the more he looked at it, the more he realized that the demon thief should not be the only one. I can't see the rest of the demon thief Lan Ziyi, and I have no bottom in my heart.
Facts have proved that Lan Ziyi's worries are not unreasonable. When Lan Ziyi had just ridden his horse to the side of the demon thief array, he saw the other demon thieves hiding behind and being blocked by the spear array in front. These demon thieves were all half-squatting on the ground, the spears they held in their hands were ready to fire, and the moment Lan Ziyi found them, the murderous aura of these demon thieves all burst out.
Lan Ziyi's heart is not good, Lei Youde calculated that Lan Ziyi wanted to make a detour to avoid the defensive line, so he deliberately arranged suspicious soldiers behind the demon thieves in the front row, and Lei Youde wanted to kill them here at the moment when Lan Ziyi detoured.
The sergeants who were busy rushing were full of strength to rush the main force of Lei Youde in front, they were not ready to fight hand-to-hand again, once these ambushed demon thieves suddenly rushed out with spears, Lan Ziyi and his soldiers were afraid that they would all have to turn over on their backs.
Lan Ziyi turned around and wanted to shout, but found that the soldiers under him also saw the ambush behind them at this time, and their faces were full of panic. Seeing the expressions of the soldiers, Lan Ziyi's heart was so cold that he couldn't even call it "bad", if he continued to fight like this, Lan Ziyi and his iron cavalry would have to be buried here today.
This dangerous moment is also the moment around the storm, Lan Ziyi can feel the huge tension hidden behind time, that tension can destroy the world and recreate the universe, and at the end of that power is infinite possibilities, this is the result of the interweaving of various events before and the outbreak of this moment, even if it is only a moment at this moment.
Lan Ziyi was planning in his mind how to save his life after being hit by the demon thief's spear, and suddenly the demon thief in front of him was rushed to the sky by a force, Lan Ziyi could see the sky-high dirt splashed up in the place where the demon thief was standing just now, and then accompanied by bursts of thunder, more than a dozen lead pellets jumped into the demon thief array under the impact of the ground and then bounced up, and the demon thief ambush soldier who was waiting just now was suddenly hit by a rear cannonball, and the feeling was similar to being struck by lightning, The momentum that the demon thieves had been holding back for a long time was supposed to be used to deal with Lan Ziyi's iron cavalry, but they died before they could get out of the division, and when they were about to succeed in their tricks, they were hit by a sudden cannonball, which can almost be said to be fate.
The lead shot jumped in the demon thief array, ejected, and a ballistic trajectory crossed the stump and broken arm all the way, and a few lead shot shattered into several pieces in the bouncing process during the uncontrollable impact, and a single piece killed and injured a large piece in the demon thief array. In the blink of an eye, the dense and powerful demon thief phalanx just now was shattered into pieces. After the bombardment, the demon thieves did not even have the ability to regroup, let alone launch an attack on the Iron Cavalry.
When the demon thief was shelled by the official artillery, Lan Ziyi's heart was not the joy of finally being saved, you must know that the path that the cannonball just flew was the road that Lan Ziyi and they charged before, if Lan Ziyi hadn't turned around and bypassed the demon thief in front of him just now, now Lan Ziyi and his cavalry would have turned into pieces and lay on the ground.
Fortunately, Lan Ziyi led his iron cavalry to bypass the demon thief army formation just now, and the cannonballs flew past Lan Ziyi's face, so Lan Ziyi's spine was chilled by the hot wind.
In just a moment after this cannonball swept by, Lan Ziyi and their cavalry had already rushed through the flank of the phalanx deployed by the demon thieves, and rushed straight to Lei Youde's main force in front. Lan Ziyi, who wiped the cold sweat from his face, turned around to look, but saw that the demon thief in front of him had already blocked his vision, and Lan Ziyi could no longer see Qi Rongxun who was rushing on the opposite side and the artillery of the Shenji Battalion who was firing behind him.
Seeing this scene, Lan Ziyi pointed to the opposite side and scolded loudly:
"Qi Rongxun, you bastard, did you want my life with this shot just now?"
The knife was already raised next to him and was about to enter the charging state, Zhang Yanwu heard the words and said:
"I said a long time ago not to rush hard, if I hadn't proposed a detour, we would have been buried under our own guns now!"
Lan Ziyi, who was on the fire, heard the words and scolded:
"Zhang Yanwu, what you say is really reasonable! Didn't you see the ambush of the demon thieves hiding behind just now? That's just waiting for us to get around! You fell for the tricks of the demon thief and still put gold on your face? β
Zhang Yanwu didn't take Lan Ziyi's accusation seriously, he said without any psychological barriers:
"Even if you fall for the tricks of the demon thief, so what? Anyway, it was my strategy that survived with the big guy, so I'm right! β
