Chapter 606: Defeat in the First Battle (First Update)
The grassland sunshine, compared with the Central Plains, is much more vicious, at the end of spring, the grassland temperature becomes as if it is early summer, the sun hangs in the air, and the climate is scorching.
The ground temperature is rising, and the lush grass smells of earth and grass, mixed with a strong smell of blood in the refreshing taste.
Pungent and robbing, only a powerful killing can cause this bloody smell.
Since the convergence of the coalition forces, the army has become chaotic and the fighters have been seriously delayed, and the situation of the Borchi tribe has become worse and worse, a large number of cavalry have been killed and beheaded, and the smell of blood in the grassland is also floating from the direction of their battle.
Previously, he hoped that Zasuhe would bring his headquarters military horses to the rescue, but unexpectedly, the other party was in the same dangerous situation, or in other words, facing the test of life and death.
Repeatedly forcibly led the troops to charge and fought against the Yan army, however, the Yan army was like a meat grinder, and the coalition army rushed into the opponent's camp without killing many enemies.
Even Borchi didn't know whether the other party was well-equipped and had a strong defense, and the three of them formed a zigzag combination, and whether they had injured each other during the coalition campaign.
At the moment, the main cavalry of the Yan army continued to charge forward, with the obvious intention of inflicting heavy losses or annihilating the coalition forces.
He led his troops to block the other party and thwart the other party's plan, it was almost impossible!
Not to mention, Hou Mingfeng led the main army away, and the coalition forces under his account couldn't catch up with the other party at all.
In the previous battle alone, the coalition forces under the tent suffered heavy casualties, and there were still thousands of bladed soldiers left on the battlefield, quickly killing the coalition forces that were dizzy and scattered scattered all over the place by the impact of the army.
If this continues, the remaining 3,000 cavalry around him will sooner or later become the ghosts of the opponent's bloody swords.
The rescue failed, but the situation got worse and worse!
At this moment, the ironclad infantry left behind in Yunxia Mountain, when the coalition forces were in a weak position, unexpectedly took the initiative to attack.
Under the leadership of Zhao Hongru and Xu Hu, they came from two different directions, obviously preparing to fall into the well and beat the water dogs.
These infantry are numerous and well-equipped, and they can enter the grassland at the same time as the blade warriors, and most of them are not idle people, and they must have been pinned on by Emperor Yan.
Coming from Yunxia Mountain, it seems that they are ready to show their strength!
For a while, Borchi panicked in his heart, and it was rumored that all armies of the Yan army were equipped with repeating crossbows, and with repeating crossbows alone, they would effectively shoot and kill the enemy's vital forces.
This time, the ironclad infantry is eyeing the enemy, if the opponent relies on the arrow array to shoot, the remaining 3,000 remnants of the army will not be able to stop the opponent's several waves of arrow rain attacks.
Glancing at the infantry below Yunxia Mountain, in a panic, Bor Chi gritted his teeth, endured the pain all over his body, while protecting himself, preparing to wait for the opportunity to turn back, and join the tribal cavalry led by Zasuhe, while paying attention to the ironclad infantry coming from the direction of Yunxia Mountain, thinking in his heart, when preparing for the ironclad cavalry to attack, take the opportunity to hit the infantry who threw themselves into the net.
He had two plans in his heart, if the ironclad cavalry was in order, the 3,000 remnants of the army did not need to turn back, and they faced the opponent on the spot, and if the opponent was really strong, he had to flee.
In this battle, because some of the coalition generals were afraid of battle, the charge failed, and the previous stable upper hand, in an instant, turned into their own heavy casualties, if they could not effectively annihilate some of the soldiers of the Yan army, the losses of the coalition forces would be too great.
The ironclad infantry rushed down Yunxia Mountain, not clueless and indiscriminately charged, on the contrary, the opponent marched in an orderly manner.
It is impossible to estimate how many people there are on the other side, but they form two square legions, they are all covered in black armor, and in the green grassland, the two black legions are particularly conspicuous.
The phalanx, iron armor, repeating crossbows, and sabers all demonstrate the sophistication of the tactics and equipment of this unit, which is by no means comparable to ordinary infantry.
The two square legions moved forward quickly, but the formation showed no signs of confusion.
Because the ironclad infantry did not have spears and shields in their hands, the phalanx could change at will as the war developed.
In Bolchi's mind, he quickly and repeatedly thought about the method of destroying the enemy, but because of his lack of experience, he didn't know how to destroy the enemy in a short period of time.
After all, there are few infantry in the northern vassal states, and there will be no infantry outside the fortress, and the cavalry has a natural advantage against infantry, which Borchi does not understand.
However, the coalition army under his command had just been bloodied by the Blade Warriors, and the number of cavalry that accompanied him was limited, and he was a little worried in the face of the huge infantry army in front of him and the thousands of Blade Warriors around him.
After much consideration, in order to avoid unnecessary casualties among the coalition forces, Borchi chose to evacuate, waved his scimitar, signaled to the few coalition troops around him, and turned back and moved in the direction of Zasuhe.
Passing through the cavalry formation of thousands of blade warriors in front of them, most of them will converge with the coalition forces that have passed through the main force of the Yan army, and the two sides will converge and attack on both sides.
"Kill, annihilate the Yan army in front of you!" Having made up his mind, Borchi quickly struck action.
At this moment, Hou Mingfeng's army collided with the Zasuhe army, and thousands of troops and horses formed a magnificent scene, like two huge waves on the sea converging, setting off stormy waves on the sea.
The ripples were centered on the advance of the coalition forces, and the ripples continued to expand in all directions, and soon the two armies converged.
30,000 against 70,000, the number of blade warriors did not occupy a slight advantage, however, in the battlefield, the coalition army was suppressed by the blade warriors, even though there were many of them, they still did not have the slightest advantage.
The troops led by Hou Mingfeng, after coming into contact with the coalition forces, quickly turned into three cavalry teams, like three long snakes swimming on the battlefield, coiled up, three layers inside and three layers outside, dividing the 70,000 coalition troops into three battlefields that were difficult to take into account.
Like peeling an onion, peel off layer by layer from the outside in, and gradually wipe out the coalition forces!
In the battlefield, there are more and more corpses of the coalition army, layer upon layer, lying on the ground, even if the death is unbearable, the war horses of the two armies still step on it from time to time in the battle.
Surrounded in the center of the battlefield, Zha Suhe couldn't see the specific situation of the battlefield clearly, but he could feel that the Yan army was constantly shrinking from the periphery, like a poisonous snake hunting for food, his body was constantly tightened, strangling the coalition army!
Bolchi clearly saw from the outside that the Yan army on the periphery of the front was continuously killing and running wildly, and the huge battle array was like a meat grinder, constantly strangling and narrowing the war.
The coalition forces inside are constantly being coerced, and if they don't continue to hold out, or quickly change the situation on the battlefield, things will get very bad.
It is very likely that the 70,000 tribal alliance will all be slaughtered here, and he will also become the commander of the light pole!
Bolchi felt that blood was dripping from his heart, the 200,000 coalition troops were scattered in three different directions by the Yan army, even if Zack and Mu Kui next to him wanted to come to the rescue, they were blocked by the 20,000 blade soldiers next to him.
At this moment, he finally realized what it means to be one against ten, and what it means to be unstoppable.
The ironclad infantry behind the thunder attacked, if the other side participated in the battle, the casualties of the coalition army would be greater, more, at this time, the Zasuhe army must be rescued first, otherwise, the Yan army strangled the Yan army of the Zasuhe legion, gathered again, and he had 70,000 cavalry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape death.
Without much hesitation, Borchi led his army to fight with the thousands of bladed warriors blocking in front of him.
Soon, with Zhao Hongru and Xu Hu leading the ironclad infantry into the battlefield, the situation of the coalition army deteriorated more and more. The closest remnants of Borchi's army bore the brunt of the rain of arrows from the ironclad infantry.
The ironclad infantry were more numerous and more powerful, and when the first rain of arrows fell behind, they shot almost half of the coalition forces that stubbornly resisted.
I thought that the ironclad infantry Jin Yu was defeated on the outside, and his head had a false name, but unexpectedly, when the opponent's arrow array came, he shot half of the remnants, and the power of the explosion was no less than that of the blade soldiers.
Witnessing that bloody scene, how dare Borchi continue to stay, he dared to predict that the second wave of arrows from the other party would fall to the ground, and even he might die on the battlefield.
Without the slightest hesitation, Borchi took the road and fled!
The remaining thousand cavalry around him did not dare to stay for a long time, and followed Borchi to evacuate.
In the battle between the two armies, the coalition forces were defeated in the first battle, and the remaining coalition forces also did not occupy any advantage.
Escaping from the arrow array, Bolchi's face turned red, looking at the battlefield not far away, his heart was extremely melancholy, wanting to rescue the coalition forces from all walks of life, but the thousand cavalry under his account were completely a drop in the bucket, and they couldn't change the situation at all.
If the campaign continues, the greater the losses of the coalition forces will definitely be, and if it is not possible to deal with the more than 100,000 troops in front of them, the entire army may be wiped out. Hurriedly shouted to the guards beside him: "Wave the flag and signal the whole army to evacuate!" ”
Despite his reluctance, Borchi was helpless, the fire in his heart was blazing, and he had the urge to kill.
The defeat in this battle was due to the fact that there were not many generals, the troops were not strong, and the tactics were inappropriate, and they were completely defeated by a small number of black sheep, delaying the fighters and destroying the tactics, which led to the Yan army's defeat turning into victory and reversing the unfavorable situation.
However, among the coalition forces scattered in three places, among the cavalry led by Mu Kun and Zack, Mu Kun had 20,000 cavalry under his tent, fighting against 10,000 blade soldiers.
Zak's 10,000 cavalry engaged an equal number of bladed soldiers, and the military flag signaled to evacuate, facing the wolf-like enemy army, there was no chance to withdraw, let alone wait for the opportunity to escape.
As for Borchi's inner concern about the Zasu Army, the situation is getting worse and worse, forming a three-line defense line of the Yan army, attacking from the outside to the inside, and after annihilating the peripheral coalition forces, the Yan army of two lines of defense converges and fights the coalition forces in the formation with all their might.
In addition, the Yan army continued to converge, the wall became stronger and stronger, and the cavalry wanted to break through, and it became more difficult.
Seeing the banner shaking in the distance, Zasuhe became more and more anxious in his heart, fighting with the ironclad infantry, he deeply appreciated the power of the other party, in order to reduce casualties, he had already had the heart to evacuate, but the army has not yet left, if he evacuates, he will escape from the battle, which will seriously affect the influence of the Borchi tribe in the army.
At this moment, the commander signaled for all the troops to withdraw, his army was surrounded by the Yan Legion, and it became very difficult to evacuate, if he did not evacuate, the whole army would suffer heavy losses sooner or later.
Za Suhe didn't dare to hesitate at all, his expression was in a hurry, and he shouted hoarsely: "The whole army evacuates, evacuate quickly!" ”
