Chapter 88: The Hardest Life to Die Without Regrets (5)
Liu Xiu and the thousands of soldiers under his command looked at the meteors in the sky in front of them, and the blood in their bodies surged to the top of their heads.
Until it was about to fall to the ground, it still didn't burn out in the air!
And the location where the meteor fell is in front, the largest concentration of the new army's Chinese army battalion!
"Get down on your stomach! Hold your head in your hands! Close your eyes! Don't look up! ”
At the last moment when the meteor touched the ground, Liu Xiu turned his head in shock and roared at the soldiers behind him with all his strength.
At the same time, he also turned over and dismounted, and lay on the ground with his head in his hands as he had just shouted.
However, the process of dismounting still took him some time. As soon as he lay down and closed his eyes, before he could lower his head, the meteor had already touched the ground.
Even though his eyes were closed, the bright light that burst out in front of him still passed through his eyelids and shone on Liu Xiu's eyes. As if looking directly at the sun, Liu Xiu almost thought that his eyes had been blinded.
Then, the loud bang in his ears was far more terrifying than the thousands of bombing thunderbolts combined, and it kept echoing in his ears, as if it was about to tear his whole body apart. The fierce winds that struck at the same time as the loud noise, mixed with the large and small clods on the ground, were not inferior in speed and strength to the strong bow and hard crossbow.
Liu Xiu gritted her teeth and pressed herself to the ground, but she still felt that she could be blown away by the wind at any time. Fortunately, the wind only lasted for a short moment before it stopped. If he continued to take a few more breaths, Liu Xiu was afraid that he would really be swept away.
After confirming that there was no more wind, he cautiously raised his head and slowly opened his eyes. Irritated by the bright light, his eyes kept crying, and tears blurred his vision. Liu Xiu knew that his eyes must have been red and swollen at this moment.
The same is true for the ears, the loud noise has long since disappeared, but it seems to still be in the ears, buzzing non-stop, making the whole person feel as if they are living in an unreal world.
Ren Guang struggled to get up from the ground, rushed from not far away, helped Liu Xiu, and whispered something in his ear, but Liu Xiu could only see Ren Guang's mouth open and close, but he couldn't even hear a word.
Seeing Liu Xiu's blank expression, Ren Guang squeezed Liu Xiu's palm hard, and then stretched out his finger and pointed forward.
Liu Xiu wiped away the tears that blurred his vision and looked in the direction of Kunyang in the north, and at a glance, his thinking had all stopped.
The new army battalion, which was originally in the north, the most powerful, the largest in number, and the boundless expanse, is now gone, as if it had never existed in this world.
And where they were originally located, there was only a huge pit left.
The pit was half a mile in circumference, like a huge mouth growing out of the ground. Around the pit, there was no vegetation or rocks, only the soil that had been rolled up from the center to the surrounding areas.
However, the most common ones are corpses.
Boundless corpses.
In the vicinity of the crater, there were no corpses to be seen, as none of the flesh remained intact under the close-range impact of the meteor falling to the ground. Only a little further away is it possible to retain a recognizable human form. The powerful storm swept up the Nova soldiers a little farther away, tossed them into the air, and then fell far in all directions. At this moment, even a few feet in front of Liu Xiu, there was a New Army soldier who had only half of his body left, with the incredulous expression on his face before he died, and his face was extremely distorted with fear.
Liu Xiu hurriedly turned around, and saw that his own soldiers behind him had just slowly struggled to get up from the ground, and everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces, as if they had lost their souls, looking at the scene in front of them that could only be seen in hell.
But fortunately, Liu Xiu glanced at it, and everyone survived, but there were only a few soldiers who were injured by the stones and clods rolled up by the storm.
But everyone's expressions were still in a trance.
"Young Master, this is a godsend!" Li Tong hurriedly ran to Liu Xiu's side and reminded him in a low voice, already trembling with excitement.
"Yes!" Liu Xiu was stunned, and then he reacted, pulled out the long sword from his waist, raised it far away, and roared, attracting all the attention of the soldiers in front of him.
"Wang Mang has no way, the heavens are angry and the people are resentful, this is the punishment of heaven!"
The soldiers were in an uproar.
In a brief shock, when they lost their ability to think, Liu Xiu perfectly seized this best opportunity and completely guided their will into his own hands.
"Meteorites fell from the sky and swept away the thief army, it is the destiny of heaven in our army! There are only remnants of the defeated army left in front of him, and he can't strike another blow at our army! All the sons and daughters will fight the thieves with me! Strike the thief! Strike the thief! Zhang Chu, Sun Tong, come with me! ”
Liu Xiu turned over and got on his horse, did not hesitate any longer, called the names of the two partial generals, and led half of the troops to gallop towards the new army on the west side. And Li Tong and Ren Guang also immediately mounted their horses and led the rest of the troops to the east to kill.
The new armies on the east and west flanks, although they were not hit by the meteorite head-on, were already broken. The strength of the central battalion was the most abundant, with more than 100,000 people, but it was wiped out in an instant, and the rebels in front of them, which had already been surrounded by them, could not fly, but now they were not only not damaged at all, but their fighting spirit was high, and they rushed towards them like wolves.
They...... There is really the blessing of God! That's not an enemy that can be defeated by man!
This thought appeared in the minds of all the surviving soldiers of the New Army at the same time.
When the first shouts began to sound, and the first soldiers began to drop their weapons, turn around and flee backwards, there was no more force to bring them together. Everyone just thinks about running away and running faster. Even if you can't outrun the enemy army behind you, at least you have to outrun your companions.
Although less than half of them died, the original army of 400,000 ceased to exist at this moment. Those who are still alive are but lambs to the slaughter.
