Chapter 910: Demon Gods Are Mortals
In many major wars, the key to victory often depends only on a period of time or a decisive point. The person who can look at the overall situation and keenly discover the most important point is the truly invincible celebrity.
If it weren't for the impact of the Great Plague, which restrained the actions of the Han army. They should not have been caught in such an urgent situation. When the Persians unleashed this demon from the wild jungle inhabited by the natives, it decided a catastrophe on the land. It was also destined to make the Han army that came across the mountains and seas to the west suffer many unnecessary losses.
Generals such as Li Ling and Su Jian, who were trapped in the Han army's camp, should have been able to predict such a danger in advance based on their previous combat experience and Yuan Zhao's orders, and they also made many defensive measures for this. But unexpectedly, the Persians were still a little more crazy than they imagined. In the surprise attack from all sides, it finally did not get out of the dangerous situation of the whole army.
Due to the constraints of many conditions, the transmission of military intelligence information has become slow and unfavorable. It was in the afternoon that the situation facing the entire battalion was finally clarified. The 100,000 Han army was surrounded on all sides, and the enemy was on its back, and there was no way to retreat! When Li Ling, who personally commanded the battle, understood this, he knew that if the tide of the battle could not be turned around before dark, then the entire Han army camp would really be completely overturned.
"General Lee! General Su has sent me to deliver a message to you, and we will hold the direction to the west and north for you...... Until the last man! ”
The wounded lieutenant's armor was shattered, and his knife was broken. After conveying the words of General Su Jian to Li Ling word by word, he fell to the ground and died.
Li Ling slammed his knife on the ground and closed his eyes with his hands. There was no sadness in his heart at the moment, only rolling blood and endless anger. As Su Jian's junior, he certainly understood the meaning contained in this sentence.
Su Jian has unmistakably demonstrated his determination to sacrifice. He will lead tens of thousands of Han troops with the Red Fire Army as the main force to block the blades from the left flank and the back for Li Lingbu, so that he can use this precious period of time to attack with all his strength and defeat the enemy in the south direction, and then he can support and respond to the others and save a glimmer of life!
At this critical moment, the reason why Su Jian still had such expectations for Li Ling was because he knew that the main force of the Flying Dragon Army led by this young man of the Li family had not been used. Perhaps, this sharpest Tibetan knife can work miracles.
Li Ling stood up with a heavy face. He understood what General Su Jian meant. He has also been preparing for this for a long time, and he just wants to let the Wyvern cavalry dispatch when the fighter plane is most suitable. This is already his last killer move, and the only chance to break the situation.
The Li Ling army was stationed in a different position than the Red Fire Army in the northwest of the defense camp. The terrain in that direction was affected by the Luojia Mountains, and it was difficult to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and if the cavalry forced the battle, it would just be in vain. And the flat terrain here is a good battlefield for cavalry to gallop vertically and horizontally.
The Flying Dragon Army had nearly 10,000 horsemen, and they were on standby in the large camp behind. Listening to the shouts outside the camp, they had been waiting for a long time. It's just that Li Ling didn't give the order for a long time. Earlier, he was waiting for the most suitable fighter. Later, however, with the arrival of a great enemy crossing the river from the east, the cavalry was sent out to fight
Determination and choice became very difficult in his heart.
Although the young general has not been on the battlefield for a long time, he is born with good military talent. You don't have to think much to know that the Persians stuck this knife from behind is bound to win. The chosen dead men must be the best of the best. He did not have great hopes for the 5,000 Han troops that he had urgently sent over earlier to intercept them. In the case that the other party has the right time and place, if he can stop them for an hour or two, it is already very powerful.
However, in such a short period of time, if he wanted to dispatch the Flying Dragon Army to turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop, Li Ling was not completely sure at all. Because once it is in a stalemate and hard battle, not only will the Wyvern Army not be able to play its role, but it will become more difficult to defend under the attack of two sides. At that time, the tide is gone, and there will be no return.
"Hurry up and send someone to the other side of the river to see what the situation is going on!"
Li Ling, who had not received news from the east direction for a long time, shouted orders to the pro-troops around him. If the war is really impossible, he will not let the Wyvern cavalry go out and die. Perhaps continuing to hold on to the camp is the safest way to do so.
However, the person who received the order had not yet set off, and at this moment, a messenger from the Han army had hurried back. He had an indescribable expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what the emotion was. However, the words shouted in a hoarse voice were clearly heard by everyone.
"General Lee! None of the Persians who raided crossed the river...... Hurry up and decide the fighter! ”
Li Ling suddenly clenched the handle of the knife, his eyes were like a torch staring at the person who reported the news, he had some impression that this was a general. Apparently, he had come back from the river in one go, sweating profusely and nearly prostrating.
"What do you say? Say it again...... Could it be that the Persians took the initiative to withdraw their troops?! ”
The general looked up, his face unrecognizable to tears or sweat, and he choked up again and shouted, "The Persians are blocked in the river...... Yuan Gong is over there! He single-handedly held them ......! ”
There were fierce battles on all sides, but Li Ling's heart suddenly felt calm down. His hands trembled a little, but his eyes were frighteningly bright. That man had held up a solid barrier for him with his own back, and what reason did he have to hesitate here?!
"Pass me the order! Wyvern Army, all attack! ”
A quarter of an hour later, the Persian warriors, who were attacking regardless of casualties, suddenly found that the Han army on the opposite side had suddenly stopped resisting. As if they had received some order, they retreated to the flanks. The front of the camp was suddenly empty. The Persians, who did not know what was going on, were willing to let go of such an opportunity, they directly knocked down the last line of defense of the Han army's camp, and then stepped on the thick wooden fence that had fallen to the ground and was littered with dead and wounded, and finally rushed into the camp.
The thousands of Persian dead soldiers who came first, staring at blood-red eyes and brandishing long knives frantically, began to look for the target of killing. It took so much effort to attack and kill, and if you don't kill him, how can you be worthy of the name of the dead man!
However, it was a little strange that the Han troops who fled to the distance on both sides did not mean to panic. They remained in a tight formation, their eyes shining as brightly as the knives in their hands. And here it is
Suddenly, in the midst of the noisy fighting, the sound of horses' hooves that shook the earth began to sound. Between breaths, the explosion was like rolling thunder.
The astonished Persians saw that in the middle of the camp, countless war horses lined up. At a distance of dozens of zhang, just enough to raise the speed of the horse, the cold light flickered, and it had already rushed into the ranks of the Persians who had no time to be prepared.
The Wyvern cavalry has attacked! Everyone who laid down their armor knew in their hearts what kind of task and glory they were receiving this time. There is no need to be inspired, the blood in the chest is already heroic.
Li Ling, who once again put on his helmet and personally led the army to charge, left behind his responsibility to preside over everything. Now, he no longer needs to be in command, with the fire burning in his eyes, and he just wants to fight! He is the personal disciple of that man, he is his example and guiding light, and he will do whatever he does!
Filled with fire and smoke, the galloping cavalry rushed out of the camp, and under the hooves and blades of the horses, no one was spared. Then, they rushed directly into the tens of thousands of Persian troops that had gathered. Vertical and horizontal fighting, an iron-blooded battle, finally entered the most intense moment.
The Han army in the rear camp followed Li Ling's order and quickly divided into two parts. The first group continued to hold the camp and cooperate with the attacking Wyvern Army. The other part went to support General Su Jian and assist them in dealing with the enemy in those two directions.
Under the firmament, a great battle begins just before twilight falls on the Western Continent. And the Persian prince, who was always paying attention to all aspects, finally received the news that he least wanted to know.
"How is this possible! …… The power of one person...... Blocked the most elite more than 10,000 dead soldiers?"
The Persian prince looked at the people around him, and he felt a chill on his body. He knew back then that Yuan Zhao was very powerful, beyond the power of ordinary people. But he never thought that he would be so powerful.
"Your Royal Highness, instead of blocking them, you killed most of them...... He's not human, he's a legendary demon god! ”
The person who came to report the news had apparently witnessed the killing in the river. He seemed to have lost his soul, his face was pale and his eyes were hollow. From then to now, he firmly believes that he has seen the arrival of the demon god.
Immediately afterwards, the Persian princes and their nobles, who had not yet recovered from the great shock, began to receive other unfavorable news one after another.
The Han cavalry was dispatched, and the Persian warriors, who were mainly attacking in the southern direction, suffered heavy casualties and began to rout. As a result, the whole body was affected, and the situation between the offensive and defensive sides in other directions began to gradually reverse. The Persians have lost their previous initiative.
The remaining royal nobles and cronies of the Persian Empire looked at each other in horror and inexplicably. They never thought that the chance of victory and defeat would change so quickly, and the situation was good a quarter of an hour ago, but in the blink of an eye, life and death were unpredictable!
"I don't believe that a mortal can have the incorruptible body of Vajra! If you pay the price of 10,000 dead and wounded, you can kill him...... You guys! Can anyone tell me if Yuan Zhao is dead or alive?! ”
The Persian prince looked at his remaining arm, and the corners of his mouth twitched nervously, a little hysterical.
