Chapter 207: Defeated
Before the two armies met, a large number of troops had already fallen in front of the Sheng army, and the overwhelming arrows fell, like a downpour, drowning all the soldiers who were charging in front.
In front of the Sheng army, horses fell to the ground, chariots came to a standstill, and it was too late for the soldiers who rushed to the front to dodge and defend, because there was a steady stream of soldiers crowded forward in the rear, and if they didn't rush forward, they could only die.
Rao was so, because of the blocking of chariots and the corpses of his companions, the speed of the entire charge was slowed down, and the entire front army had a small stampede.
"Huh...... Do you want to use this strange trick to defeat my Dasheng's army? I'm too arrogant......"
In the rear, after Feng Zhonglong saw this scene, he sneered, and saw through the limitations of the repeater at a glance.
However, after sneering, he felt quite uncomfortable in his heart.
Although the two armies will definitely collide together, it will not have much impact on the final outcome, but in the end, it will cause unnecessary losses, and nearly 10,000 people will die under this arrow.
Dealing with a weak army like Cangjun, he lost so many people at the beginning, even if he was defeated in the end, it made him feel disgraced.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a violent tremor came from the side and rear of the Cang army, and a huge sound shook the entire battlefield.
I saw that a number of war horses suddenly poured out from both sides of the White Tiger Legion, majestic, full of smoke and dust, towards the flank of the Shengguo army, and slammed in.
This scene was seen by Feng Zhonglong and a group of generals, and they immediately felt very dazzling.
Not just glaring, but also very surprised?
That is, horses?
Is there anyone else on the horse?
With so many people, I'm afraid that once they rush into the battlefield, they won't be able to exert any combat effectiveness at all, right? As soon as the horse is frightened or jolted, the legs of the soldiers cannot grip the horse's back, and they can easily fall off the horse's back.
Then, they will face a siege from the surrounding soldiers.
In this case, those soldiers on horseback will not be able to exert any combat effectiveness at all, and it is better to be an ordinary soldier and charge in line to kill.
However, these generals did not underestimate this force, and with the lessons of the previous chariot repeater, they had to take it seriously.
In short, there is a very eerie feeling.
As for where the weirdness is, I can't see it for the time being.
"Hmm...... Those soldiers on horseback seem to be very handy! Feng Zhonglong muttered, and then suddenly his eyes widened: "Not good! Those horses rushed into the battle formation, and my sergeant Sheng couldn't resist it! ”
"Damn! How so! Another general shouted.
"Behind the Cang army, there are still many soldiers on horseback!"
"The weapons in their hands are also different, it seems to be a very special kind of combat knife, or bent!"
"And that's not all! Each of them still has a crossbow arrow in his hand! ”
On the main general's chariot, several of the main generals of the Sheng army shouted, full of horror.
They are all veterans who have fought for decades, fought against the Dong Kingdom, fought with the Yan Kingdom, and even accepted the invitation of the Jin State for a certain period of time to fight against the distant Kang Kingdom.
But I've never seen anything like it!
It was already an incredible miracle that those soldiers were able to fight on horseback.
The scimitars and crossbow arrows in his hands seemed to be tailor-made, so that the surrounding Sheng soldiers had no power to fight back.
The sharp-eyed general found that under the hooves of those horses, there were shiny pieces of iron, and the horses kicked on a soldier, directly kicking the person away, and the blood in his mouth soared.
If you say that this kind of soldiers on horseback is only a handful, it is okay, hundreds of thousands of troops are piled up, and they can always be dragged to exhaustion, but from the flank of the Cang army on the opposite side, there is still a steady stream of new troops!
The sound of horses' hooves, screams, neighing...... Convergence.
The flanks of the Sheng army began to rout, and the soldiers scrambled to flee, not daring to face the monsters that rushed out.
In fact, from the very beginning of the sight of horses rushing towards them, the soldiers had already developed an instinctive fear, and it was difficult for humans to resist in the face of tall and fierce animals.
Therefore, the rout of the flank of the Sheng army was expected.
Facing the Qilin Army is like facing an impregnable city, which is a man-eating beast, a big hole that will never be filled, and useless resistance can only cost one's life in vain.
Excellent war horses, elite soldiers, and special weapons constitute a desperate army.
"Hurry, hurry! Beat the drums, let the Chinese army give up the head-on confrontation with the enemy, defend the flanks with all their might, and don't be disrupted by the enemy! ”
Feng Zhonglong shouted, his expression was hideous, he almost exhausted all the strength in his body, he only felt a cool air rise from his back, and cold sweat broke out on his head, as if he had just experienced a serious illness.
There was already a strong uneasiness in his heart.
If the Sheng army is attacked from the flank and then the entire Chinese army is disrupted, it means that the whole army is scattered.
On the battlefield, if the queue is chaotic and cannot be reorganized immediately, then even if there is ten times the number of troops, it will be difficult to give full play to the advantage, as long as the opponent is full of strength, it can quickly occupy the advantage, and the examples of countries that win more with less are all the same.
At this moment, Feng Zhonglong seemed to understand why the army of the Western Road would be wiped out overnight, if such an army carried out an attack, if it was his own leader, even if he discovered the sneak attack in time, he would not be able to organize a strong resistance.
This is not only because the enemy forces are fast, but also because the combat effectiveness of both sides is not at the same level at all!
Feng Zhonglong's general order was quickly conveyed, and the drums were beating and could be heard for ten miles.
However, it is no longer useful.
When he saw the cavalry for the first time, his mind was in chaos, like a headless fly, and he didn't know how to deal with it at all, only to see his own soldiers being chased by the cavalry and fleeing in all directions, so he had to flee with it.
"It's over......"
Feng Zhonglong looked at the tragic situation in his own army, and only felt that his heart and gall were broken, it was impossible to win this battle today.
"General, give the order to withdraw the troops...... After suffering a loss, we will come back after resting! The lieutenant general persuaded beside him.
Do you want to come back after a break?
Feng Zhonglong sighed and shook his head, what can he do even after resting?
After today, morale must have plummeted, this fear of being chased and slaughtered has been deeply rooted in the bottom of my heart, how many people dare to face it again?
Even if you use money and goods to boost morale, after going to the battlefield, what can you do to solve it?
If you can't crack it, you can only lose it again and again.
In a few breaths, thousands of thoughts had flashed through Feng Zhonglong's mind, and no matter from which angle he looked at it, he saw despair.
Of course, he also knew that even if there was no way, he couldn't fold the entire army here at the moment, so he took a long breath and said: "Withdraw, the rear army becomes the front army, the middle army becomes the rear army, don't retreat in the direction of the camp, go directly to Kanfeng City." ”
"General, what about the former army...... That's 50,000 soldiers......"
The adjutant general hesitated, Feng Zhonglong's retreat order was obviously to give up the front army.
The problem is that there are still a few of his cronies in the former army, and one of them is still his brother!
"No matter, if you can delay it for a while, let's delay it for a while, and then talk about keeping the main force of the army...... The rest...... The big picture is important......"
Feng Zhonglong looked up to the sky and sighed, ordered someone to drive the chariot to turn around, and when he left, he glanced at the army that was wantonly slaughtering, full of unwillingness.
Hehe...... From today on, the undefeated general of Sheng Guo no longer exists......
At this moment, Geng Zhong, the general of the Qilin Army, also noticed the signs of the Sheng army's retreat, and craned his neck to look around......
"Humph! Want to retreat? Geng Zhong sneered, and then shouted: "Where is Di Mo?" Pass on the order of the general, beat the drum and change the formation! ”
"Yes!"
