Chapter 326: Bait Shows Might

It was not wrong at all as expected, Wang Tianzhong's army camp was empty.

"Tortoiseshell Formation!" Having already rushed into the center of the camp, all the soldiers were also killed, and the establishment immediately ordered.

"Tortoiseshell Formation!" One hundred of his own soldiers immediately shouted in unison.

The soldiers were stunned, although the Tongzhou Army was not as good as the Youzhou Army and the Forbidden Army, there were also many veterans, most of these veterans were reorganized from the original border army, with strong combat effectiveness and a very good sense of combat. The tortoiseshell formation was used in the camp, and this was the first time they had heard of it.

"Quick! Tortoiseshell formation! The establishment of a big hurry, and hurriedly shouted.

It's a pity that it's too late, just after the Tongzhou army was stunned, a huge sound of breaking the air suddenly came from the sky.

"Feather Arrow!" The veterans' faces changed drastically, and they hurriedly covered the top of their heads with round shields on their sides.

The response of the recruits was much worse, and many of them looked up at the sky blankly.

The dark night sky was empty but stars, and the recruits didn't even have a chance to scream when they could see the dense feathered arrows falling on their heads through the starlight. Immediately shot dead and wounded, a large number of wounded, and soon the ground was covered with moaning and rolling wounded soldiers.

Wang Tian only had 3,000 archers, but these 3,000 people had caused nearly 500 injuries to Chengli in the first round of shooting.

One wave fell, and the second wave immediately reached the top of the Tongzhou army, with hundreds of casualties.

In the feather arrows, tens of thousands of terrifying shouts and killings sounded around the Tongzhou army, and countless Blood Lotus Sect soldiers came to the establishment in an encirclement and slaughter.

"Don't panic! The armor stepped forward and held his ground. Seeing such a situation, he set up an unusually calm order.

"Whew! Call! Call! The five thousand armor soldiers received the order, and in a low voice, they strode forward and stepped on top of the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers who had killed them.

They were covered with sixty pounds of heavy armor, which was tightly covered from head to toe, and the protection of the iron armor was very good, and the feather arrows "clanked" at them, either being bounced off by the iron armor, or shooting into the cracks of the armor leaves, even if some were shot into the flesh of the soldiers, but it was not very deep. Only the unlucky ones will be shot in the face and killed instantly. Most of the ironclad soldiers were covered in feathered arrows, but they were still alive and well, slaying like a hedgehog at the enemy in front of them.

The two sides quickly collided together, blood splattered instantly, and the place where the two armies intersected was like forming a curved red river.

The Blood Lotus Sect is full of light infantry due to its limited financial resources, and when these flesh and blood bodies collide with the steel monsters, it reminds people of a word, hitting a stone with an egg. With only one face, the five thousand ironclad troops came into contact with the enemy with less than a thousand people, but almost everyone had the results of the battle, and seven or eight hundred Blood Lotus Sect soldiers died at this moment. And those Tongzhou soldiers were just a few dozen killed.

"The light infantry is close in the middle, and the armor soldiers kill the enemy in a circle!

Even at the sight of such a gain, Cheng Cheng did not appear to be very happy, and ordered with a blank face.

Tongzhou Iron Armor received the order, and instantly moved closer to the surrounding comrades, covering the light infantry to fight and retreat. If you look closely, you can see that a huge circle is gradually taking shape as they retreat. It's getting smaller, but it's getting more and more regular, and it's getting thicker.

And those light infantry finally embodied the results of years of training, ran into the middle of the ironclad soldiers at the fastest speed, took off their own square shields, and slammed them into the ground, and on top of every two square shields, another shield was put up, and a circular shield wall was formed in an instant. In addition, spearmen stretched out their spears a foot long through the gaps between their shields. With just one cup of tea, a hedgehog-like circle with a radius of 100 zhang was formed.

"Retreat!" Establishment is another big roar!

Those ironclad infantry who had been fighting for a long time and whose physical strength began to be overdrawn quickly retreated, and the weapons in their hands were only weapons to resist the enemy, and they had no intention of killing.

The ironclad soldiers retreated in front of the circular array, and the circular array tacitly opened a dozen large openings in different directions at the same time, and the ironclad infantry poured into it like a flood.

Where would the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers, who had been pressed and beaten by the ironclad soldiers, miss this opportunity? Seeing the ironclad soldiers retreating, they excitedly pursued after them, and quickly cut down more than a hundred ironclad soldiers who had not had time to withdraw to the circle formation.

But that was the end of their victory.

"Thorn!" The circle suddenly erupted in the roar of hundreds of people in unison.

I saw that the circle array was like a hedgehog exploding thorns, and it suddenly skyrocketed, and the circle suddenly expanded in a large circle, and the periphery was densely packed with snowy spear tips, which made people look very frightened. Those Blood Lotus Sect soldiers who were within a kilometer of the circle formation were immediately stabbed over. Blood spurted out of the chests of these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers, forming a bright red circle on the ground.

Not only that, the spear stabbed out, and then quickly retracted, another round of spears stabbed out in time, and then quickly retracted, and the third set of spears stabbed out again...... In this way, attacking in sections, without any gaps, the three rounds of spears harvested the lives of the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers in a rhythmic and efficient manner.

It didn't take long for each spear to stab more than a dozen Blood Lotus Sect soldiers to death, and what was worse was that the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers in the back couldn't see the situation in front of them, and they all rushed forward in a hurry, and the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers in front couldn't help themselves, and they wanted to retreat but couldn't retreat, as if they were squeezed and hit the spear. I could only see the bright spear head constantly going in and out of different bodies, like blood poured into the ears, and the endless screams made the battle quickly reach a white heat.

The 500 archers in the formation did not stop, bending their bows and arrows, and constantly throwing their bows and arrows outward. The Blood Lotus Sect soldiers outside were too many and too dense, they didn't need to aim, as long as they shot the arrows, they wouldn't miss. In a few rounds of projectiles, more than 2,000 Blood Lotus Sect soldiers were killed, making the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers' charging team much thinner.

With just one pillar of incense, the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers lost five or six thousand casualties, which can be described as heavy casualties. But these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers didn't seem to see their comrades being slaughtered continuously, and they still frantically rushed towards the establishment with the slogan "Blood Lotus Descends to the World, Peace and Eternal Life" in their mouths, and their snow-white robes made them look like Yin soldiers from hell, crazy and full of evil spirit.

The established Tongzhou Army did not waste much strength to kill them, but every soldier was more and more afraid in his heart. They had seen enemies that were stronger than the soldiers of the Blood Lotus Sect, but they had really never seen someone like them who was not afraid of death. In the hearts of these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers, after believing in the Blood Lotus Sect, people can live forever, if they die fighting for the Blood Lotus Sect, then he will ascend to the Elysium as soon as possible, and like the Blood Lotus Ancestor, he will live forever.

That's why these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers are so fierce and fearless of death when they fight, and they are like going crazy one by one. The officers and soldiers of the Tongzhou Army could only grit their teeth and hold on, even if they were afraid in their hearts, they could only desperately kill these Blood Lotus Sect soldiers again and again, one by one.

"Ding Jian, Ming Jin, let the sons and daughters retreat for the time being!" Seeing such heavy casualties among his subordinates, Wang Tian had to grit his teeth, these were all Blood Lotus Sect soldiers under his command, not comparable to those chaotic people.

"Yes!" The adjutant general Ding saw that he agreed, and hurriedly gave the order.

The sound of gold sounded, as if pouring a bucket of cold water on the boiling battlefield, and the Blood Lotus Sect soldiers quickly retreated in an orderly manner, and the battlefield also cooled down.

"Close!" With an order, the circle took a step back and became more regular, while the ironclad infantry simply sat on the ground and rested.

Those pikemen were also so tired that they sat on the ground, gasping for breath from exhaustion, although they had only fought for two pillars of incense just now, but the intensity of the battle was not small, they held their breath and stabbed out more than a hundred shots at the fastest speed, and the guns and guns were fast and ruthless, and they worked hard with all their strength, and their physical strength was very large.

"General, do you want to drive those chaotic people to break the formation?" After passing the order, Ding Jian walked to Wang Tian's side and opened his mouth to propose.

"No, what do you think they've become now? It's impossible to count on them anymore. Wang Tian pointed to the 200,000 homeless people scurrying around like flies in the distance and said, "At this time, send people to drive them away, it is difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, and it will be bad if there is a cannibalistic thing." Now all they have to do is settle down and don't run around. I had already greeted the generals of the front battalion beforehand, and told them to be sure to stabilize the emotions of those untouchables, how did they do it, or did they make a mess like this? Tell your men to stabilize them as soon as possible, and keep them in the camp honestly and not moving. Remember, don't use drastic tactics. ”

"Okay, I'll send a soldier down and shout everywhere to keep them from moving." After speaking, Ding Jian gave an order to one of his subordinate generals.
