Chapter 608 - Going and Returning (3rd Update)
Zhao Hongru led the legion to rush down from Yunxia Mountain and quickly headed to the main battlefield!
Ben wanted to step forward and help Hou Mingfeng lead the blade soldiers to block the Yan army that was trying to flee from the east.
During the rapid journey, he witnessed Bolch leading the coalition army, and after escaping death, he went and returned, and quickly rushed towards the main battlefield.
For Borchi's intentions, Zhao Hongru will not be unclear, the situation on the battlefield is clear, but the main army of the coalition army is trapped, and for a while, it cannot break through the blade soldiers to form an encirclement.
Borchi came again with his army, surely to relieve the main force of the coalition army.
After all, the main force has a large number of cavalry, and if it is abandoned, coupled with the cavalry lost by the coalition forces in the battle, most of the troops led by Borchi will be annihilated in this battle.
It will be the most time that the Yan army and the Saiwai cavalry will annihilate the opponent's living force at most, and it will definitely be recorded in the history of the Yan country's conquest.
At such an important moment, how could there be a lack of ironclad infantry!
As the infantry moved forward, they quickly changed direction and moved in the direction of the Borchi cavalry.
In today's battle, the ironclad infantry descended the mountain like a tiger, but there were few combat exploits, and the previous wave of arrows rained down, only shooting more than 1,000 people, and then was fled by the Bol Chi Emperor, resulting in the army not much gained.
At this time, the coalition forces took the risk to rescue the main army, which was a good opportunity for the ironclad infantry to show their skills.
The infantry covered in chain mail, striding forward, the chain mail made a tinkling dong metal collision sound, holding a strong crossbow in his hand, full of broken arrows early, ready to attack.
Everyone was scrappy and resolute, as if they were ready to go into battle anytime and anywhere.
In front of the team, Zhao Hongru was also dressed in chain mail, only holding a horse chopping knife, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, and he didn't stop for a moment, staring at the direction of the reinforcements.
The corners of his mouth couldn't help but chuckle secretly, after Borchi led the army to leave, if he didn't move, or waited and watched, perhaps, he would have a chance to return to the Woma Plain safely.
At this time, in order to rescue the trapped main cavalry, they made a comeback again, and in Zhao Hongru's view, it was completely a moth to the fire and kill themselves.
His fingers flicked on the scabbard regularly, and he commanded the guards in a resolute but cold tone: "Quickly send a message to General Xu Hu and signal the other party to move to the right flank of the main battlefield." ”
Soon, the guard took out the flag and waved it in the direction of Xu Hu.
At first, Zhao Hongru planned to lead the ironclad infantry to fortify outside the main battlefield, however, Borchi suddenly entered the battle with the remnants of the army, and he was forced to change his plan.
At this time, he divided the 80,000 ironclad infantry into two parts, advanced forward from the left and right, and formed two horns against each other in the open grassland, attacking each other on the left and right, even if he could not stop the remnants of the Red Tent of Bor, he would also suffer heavy losses to the Zasuhe army who tried to escape.
The ironclad cavalry continued to move forward, and with the momentum of thunder, it quickly approached the coalition army.
At this moment, Borchi stayed until the ironclad infantry changed the direction of the march, and he had reminded Mu Kun to be careful against the other party, and sure enough, he guessed it.
In this way, the coalition army, which was already in a very bad situation, after the ironclad infantry entered the battle, they relied on the arrow array, as long as the cavalry dared to approach, the losses would be very serious.
However, without the rescue of the Zasuhe army, the losses in this battle would have been even worse.
Without the slightest thought or hesitation, Borchi rode his horse quickly to Mu Kun and reminded: "Mu Kun, the ironclad infantry arrow formation is powerful, don't get close, however, the infantry moves slowly, and the coalition forces rely on their speed advantage to quickly move around, looking for an opportunity to surprise the other party from the rear." ”
There had been no large-scale fierce battles with the infantry, but after a brief contact, Borchi had deeply appreciated the power of their arrow array, and if the cavalry were to meet the attack, it would not be possible to escape from the enemy's dense arrow array.
Fortunately, he fought in the north and south, had rich experience in battle, and knew the advantages and disadvantages of the two arms of infantry and cavalry well, so he hoped that when facing the ironclad infantry, he would give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, take the opportunity to inflict heavy damage on the other party, and transfer all the anger against the bladed soldiers to the ironclad infantry to avenge the bloodstains.
Hearing this, Mu Kun nodded, and said categorically: "Don't worry, you and I will divide our troops, move forward from two different directions, pretend to attack the Yan cavalry, and wait for General Zha Suhe to lead the army to escape from the opponent's ambush, and before we leave, we will strive to inflict heavy losses on the opponent's infantry." ”
With the established plan, the two of them acted quickly, and thousands of troops galloped in two different directions.
The Yan army and the Saiwai coalition army, on the grassland, formed four different battlefields, containing each other, and fighting their own battles, the core revolved around the rescue and annihilation of the Zasuhe army.
In the fierce battle, Hou Mingfeng also noticed that the evacuated coalition forces had returned again, and Zhao Hongru's army approached the direction of the main battlefield, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Seeing the ironclad infantry forming a formation, he had a new plan in his heart. If Zhao Hongru can see through his thoughts, he may not only be able to severely damage the Zasuhe army, but also bring reinforcements to Borchi, as for the 10,000 cavalry under Zack's tent, sooner or later they will be hanged, and the blade warriors will all be gathered.
With the assistance of ironclad infantry, the killing frenzy will not end, in fact, it has just begun!
After making up his mind, Hou Mingfeng acted quickly and continued to strangle the coalition forces in the formation, striving to consume the opponent's vital force to the greatest extent.
For a time, the war became more and more in full swing, and a large number of coalition cavalry turned into corpses with incomplete limbs lying on the ground, trampled by the iron hooves of the war horses.
The war has never stopped from the beginning of the morning sun to the scorching sun, and the corpses in the main battlefield are piled up, and the blood stains all the grass red.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield was very distinct, the Yan army completely controlled the initiative on the battlefield, and the coalition army was struggling to the death, passive everywhere, and beaten everywhere.
Hou Mingfeng's army ignored Mu Kun and Borchi's feints outside, and comprehensively strangled the cavalry under the tent of Zha Suhe, and the two led the army to fail to rescue Zha Suhe's troops, so they simply attacked from the flank, and the army entered the battle again and directly attacked the blade soldiers.
After estimating more than half of the casualties of the coalition forces, Hou Mingfeng did not continue to besiege the other party, lest the other party cause the other party to jump over the wall in a hurry.
began to gradually reduce the wall near the Zhao Hongru legion, making the defense of the wall gradually weaker, and at the same time, sent a small number of blade warriors, and after solving the Zack legion, the Lin Shi troops who hurried over, formed a new battlefield, and stormed the remnants of the soldiers led by Borchi and the two.
In the center of the main battlefield, Zasuhe was covered in scars, as if he had just escaped from the pool of blood, the blood stained the animal skin on his body, and his mental state was not very small.
Seeing the corpses of the coalition forces on the ground, my heart was like a knife, and my mood fell to the bottom.
These people, last night and even half a quarter ago, were still fighting side by side with themselves, and under the attack of the Yan army, they all became cold corpses and lay on the ground.
No one can understand the sadness of losing one's robe!
However, unfortunately, after paying the price of half of the cavalry casualties, Tietong seemed to be surrounded by the Yan army, and the direction near the east gradually became loose.
The defense gradually became weaker and weaker, he led the troops to attack twice, the gap became bigger and bigger, if he tried a little, he would definitely break through the Yan army's defense line and lead the remaining remnants to rush out.
After fighting for half a day, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity finally appeared, and Zha Suhe quickly called the officers and men of the whole army and rushed to the weak point of the encirclement. After several attempts, he broke out of the encirclement of the blade warriors.
Zasu was full of joy and sorrow, and his heart was indescribable, but as soon as he got out of the encirclement, he saw the ironclad infantry fighting on the periphery, and the opponent was two hundred steps away from the home field, and two well-protected square battle formations were moving rapidly in the grassland.
Zasuhe didn't know that the blade warrior was powerful, but he killed the red eye early, he didn't want the blade warrior behind him to chase after him and be surrounded again, at that time, I am afraid there will be no chance to escape.
He was not afraid of the infantry of the two legions in front of him at all, and he believed that according to the mobility advantage of the cavalry, he would definitely be able to quickly break through the opponent's defenses, and even if there were casualties, he would be able to kill the opponent.
There is no pause, and the impact is fast!
Bolchi and Mu Kun, who were entangled by Lin Shi's troops on the periphery, saw that Za Suhe led his army to break out of the encirclement and quickly withdrew, preparing to implement the plan of severely inflicting heavy losses on the ironclad infantry.
In Borchi's opinion, no matter how well equipped the ironclad infantry is, even if the walls are impregnable, with the cavalry led by Zasuhe to charge head-on, he and Mu Kun led the cavalry to attack from both flanks, and they can still use the advantage of mobility to inflict heavy damage on the opponent.
Today, too many coalition forces have been annihilated by the Yan army, and at this moment, it is time for revenge.
However, after all, Borchi underestimated the ironclad infantry, this infantry has been specially designed to restrain cavalry since the day of training, and has a lot of experience in battle, how can it not know how to protect its own safety on the battlefield.
The steppe is empty, suitable for cavalry combat, there is no obstruction, the infantry's line of sight is unobstructed, and it can monitor the movement of the battlefield at all times, and adapt to changes, so that the legion remains invincible.
