Chapter Eighty-Three: The Great War (Part II)

"The rear army is ready, the front army shield soldiers, ready to implement the second battle plan!"

Captain Cold Thorn shouted loudly behind Yun Ye, his voice was loud, and he poured his power into it, so even if the shouting and killing on the battlefield was noisy, he could make everyone hear it clearly.

Guo Zijing personally went into battle, and the effect was really different, he and his guards alone could rely on their strong combat power to tear a hole in the shield array. And as long as there is a gap in such a shield formation, it will be extremely disadvantageous to the defender.

Yun Ye had already made arrangements in advance, as soon as there was a gap, he would immediately change his formation and continue to consume the northern cavalry.

"Open!"

With a loud roar from Captain Cold Thorn, the shield men and spearmen immediately changed formations.

The iron bucket-like shield array was broken down into dozens of small circular shield arrays that were impermeable. On the periphery of the small shield array were still heavy shield soldiers, who guarded the pikemen and archers in the array, and stabbed the surging northern cavalry like a ball of thorns.

Although they were able to rush in now, the northern cavalry still felt very uncomfortable, those small circle formations were arranged in a staggered line, always letting the horses go around the bend, and with their constant change of position, they were always able to block the way of the war horses and force them to change directions. This slowed down their speed, and speed, which was the advantage that the cavalry relied on the most, was now greatly weakened by the Western Army.

Guo Zijing frowned and watched his soldiers shuttle through the circle, stabbed by the spears and hooks and sickles that stretched out from the formation, flipped to the ground, and turned into meat sauce under the horse's hooves.

It's really a tiger catching a hedgehog, and now Guo Zijing and the cavalry in the north have no way to take the shield array of the Western Army, so they can only grind with them for life.

The combat effectiveness of the northern cavalry is strong, but it is more good at field warfare, and the northern army that has been stationed in the north for a long time, their opponent is the Xiongnu desert cavalry from the north, those are rough men, they can only use brute force, and they only need hard power to compete every time they fight. For these battle formations, they have never encountered them, but they have only listened to the general's words, so naturally there is no good way to deal with the shield formations lined up by the Western Army.

"Damn Zhang Yuan, why haven't you arrived yet, when I go back, I will definitely take a good look at you!"

Guo Zijing cut off the spear that stretched out from a circular array, and scolded Zhang Yuan while rushing forward.

Zhang Yu'an led the infantry only a few miles away from him, and he should have followed behind when he charged. And according to the normal marching speed, now that they have broken through the shield array, Zhang Yu'an's infantry should also be killed. If it is a combination of foot and horse, why fear this shield array? He can break as many as he wants.

"General, I see that it's almost over, Guo Zijing's cavalry has also fought a lot, and if it drags on and waits for them to lose again, if we want to annihilate the rebels, we may have to pay a greater price."

A general leaned over and said to Zhang Yuan, who was watching the fierce battle between the northern cavalry and the western army.

"Almost, pass the order, prepare to attack!"

Zhang Yuan nodded, if he didn't want to pay too much price, it should be the most appropriate time to launch an attack at this time.

In fact, if he had followed Guo Zijing to kill him from the beginning, he believed that the victory and defeat would be estimated to be able to be distinguished now.

But he didn't, he didn't want Guo Zijing to win so easily, the marshal would always favor his protégé, this time he annihilated the rebels, and most of the credit for going back was Guo Zijing's, and he could only receive some leftovers.

It's not fair! But what about it? People are biological, and they are at most raised by a stepmother, who wouldn't favor those who are closer to themselves?

Since they all reject me, then I want you to know what will happen if you offend me!

A look of fanaticism flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, so fanatical that it made people feel frozen!

This time he sent troops to the west, Zhang Yuan didn't plan to do anything, because he looked down on the western army, he felt that they couldn't make any big waves, especially the northern army was sent, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops wanted to eliminate tens of thousands of rebels composed of a group of defeated generals and peasants, so it was not easy?

But the performance of the Western Army greatly surprised him, first of all, he could make the famous generals of Bianxi not move, you must know that now the imperial court is very taboo against the Western Army, since Chen Hui dares to press the army, he has indirectly said that he will not support the imperial court to use troops against them. Chen Hui is a loyal and good general, if he can make him willing to take risks, the Western Army must not be simple.

Then there was this thousand-mile march, 50,000 elite cavalry in the north, who chased for nearly ten days and failed to catch up with the miscellaneous army that combined with other people's infantry and cavalry. In other words, they have to walk 200 miles a day to ensure that the northern cavalry can't catch up with them, which requires a lot of willpower and endurance, as well as good physical fitness and physical fitness. Based on these two points alone, Zhang Yu'an concluded that the Western Army was definitely not a bone to gnaw.

Later, the Western Army defeated Guo Zijing's cavalry regiment, which directly injured them, and even made Zhang Yu'an's jaw drop. That's 50,000 cavalry in the north, a cavalry that can compete with the strongest cavalry in the world - the Hun desert cavalry, and was beaten like this by the other party in the case of numerical superiority, no matter what way it is, but the end is that the enemy wins.

Since that time, Zhang Yu'an has been thinking about whether he can use the Western Army to attack Guo Zijing, and he can also take the opportunity to weaken Guo Zijing's power, so as to give himself more power.

Now that the northern cavalry should have been almost consumed, and the western army should have been crushed, it was time to take the results yourself. As long as Guo Zijing's department is killed and wounded, he will go back and let him tell the sky, and no one will help him, because a general without soldiers is worthless!

Without further ado, Zhang Yu'an swung the war knife in his hand fiercely, and the soldiers behind him pounced out like fierce tigers.

A silent charge, as long as the boots slammed on the ground and the sound of armor grinding.

The sky had begun to show a little brightness, but the darkness on the ground made the sky and the earth a little dark again, and the moving darkness was the more than 60,000 charging northern infantry. Now they are like a black python biting towards the mouth of Panlong Valley.

"Boom!"

There was another thunderclap in the sky, but this time it was accompanied by large raindrops that were falling at a rapid pace.

The bean-sized raindrops smashed the soft soil, smashing them out of one pit after another, and then the slightly raised soil around the pit was flattened by the falling raindrops.

"This must be a messenger sent by the Grim Reaper to reap!"

The real Armageddon has begun.
