Chapter 33: The War to Destroy Chu (10)
Half an hour later.
The main force of the Jingjiang army entered the ambush.
Now that he knew that there was an ambush in the Dao, Ma Xizhan was naturally prepared.
The sides of the canyon are no more than three feet high.
Ma Xizhan ordered the whole army to attack on the left, center, and right at the same time.
There is only one word for the requirement - fast.
It doesn't matter how many casualties there are, what matters is to rush into Tanzhou as soon as possible and join the forbidden army, there is only one purpose.
Ma Xizhan didn't know the latest battle situation in Ludao, he didn't know that Tanzhou had been surrounded on three sides, and he didn't know that even if he could defeat the Black Flag Army in front of him and enter Tanzhou, he couldn't change the fall of Tanzhou City, and the only way out for the King of Chu was to flee south.
Therefore, Ma Xizhan will repel this ambush at all costs.
The Chu army attacked in three ways, and there was no longer a situation of being ambushed.
Bailikang's order at this time was only four words - each fighting for itself. There is only one requirement, death, and not a single Jingjiang army can be allowed to go north.
The battle broke out just when both sides had to do it.
The arrows and grenades flying in the sky have no matter whether they are friends or foes, just greet them in the pile of living people.
After shooting the arrow, the crossbowmen threw away their crossbows, picked up the knives in the ground and rushed into the crowd.
The only identification of the soldiers on both sides is the military uniforms on their bodies.
It's a dogfight, a melee that doesn't distinguish between friend and foe.
There are only two things you can do.
Slash people. Don't be cut.
If you can do it, someone else will die.
If you can't do it, you'll die.
……。
Twenty-five thousand against five thousand.
Melee.
An hour later.
The battlefield began to calm down.
Except for those lying on the ground, those who stood were all Jingjiang soldiers.
No matter how brave the soldiers of the Black Flag Army are, they are human after all.
The six battalions lying in ambush on both sides of the official road and the six battalions at the bottom of the barrel did not have a single person standing except for the wheel artillery battalion who had withdrawn after throwing shells.
Five miles from the canyon, Bailikang stood, standing in front of the only cavalry battalion, his face expressionless.
At this time, nothing could disrupt Bailikang's heart.
The 5,000 Black Flag Army was wiped out, what could be more shocking?
This is the second evil thing that Berry has done in this war. Although there has been controversy since the war, Bai Likang's inner knowledge is that he will not be able to turn this page in his life.
Bailikang began to move, he was on his horse, he was stepping on his warhorse.
He's drawing a knife.
Death is not terrible.
The terrible thing is that death, and it is not possible to complete the task.
The casualties of nearly 5,000 Black Flag Army did not make Bailikang's expression fluctuate in the slightest.
……。
Ma Xizhan, who was shouting for the Jingjiang army to speed up its preparation, already understood in his heart that this road was a dead end.
This battle made him understand this truth.
It was a great honor for the 5,000 Black Flag Army to be annihilated by him.
But this glory also shattered his faith.
An army of all the troops died generously, and not a single person voluntarily left the battlefield.
He thinks he can't do it.
His Jingjiang army could not do it.
Although the Black Flag Army was completely annihilated in this canyon, there would be no more than half of the Jingjiang Army alive.
But even if it is true.
Ma Xizhan also has to go against heaven at this time, he must go north, this is his duty, and it is also his obligation as a descendant of the Ma family.
He was afraid of death, but he could only die.
After half an hour of preparation, Ma Xizhan once again ordered the army to advance.
The soldiers of the Jingjiang Army are tired, who can not be tired after such a bloody fight.
After the excitement of the fight has passed, there is infinite fatigue.
The army began to advance slowly.
Out of the canyon, Ma Xizhan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and finally came out.
The soldiers of the Jingjiang Army also breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there was no longer a Black Flag Army.
Just then, a voice came.
Light first, then heavy, less and then more.
"Da, ......da,
The soldiers of the Jingjiang Army were confused, surprised, and frightened.
Until someone shouted in despair, "It's cavalry....... ”
In the field of vision, there is one, two, dozens, hundreds of speeding galloping horses at the bend in front of you.
In an instant, the Jingjiang army began to riot.
Flat ground, official road.
The cavalry is undoubtedly king.
Hidden by the curve, the unprepared soldiers of the Jingjiang Army, who did not know how many cavalry were rushing towards them, could no longer control the fear in their hearts and began to collapse.
The sound of horses' hooves, which became more and more urgent, hit the hearts of every soldier of the Jingjiang Army.
shattered their remaining fighting spirits.
The battle situation was officially rewritten at this moment.
Ma Xizhan kept shouting the ...... "forming a formation", "forming a spearman formation", and "forming a formation quickly".
No one paid attention.
If the Jingjiang army is a new army, if the Jingjiang army has never been on the battlefield, if the Jingjiang army has not encountered cavalry .......
If it hadn't been for Fang Cai's bloody battle, the soldiers of the Jingjiang Army might have followed his orders and fought in formation.
But there are no ifs.
The soldiers began to flee.
The sound of horses' hooves is louder.
Ringing, representing proximity.
The soldiers began to shout hysterically: "It's the cavalry......." Come on....... ”
Even though there are only seven hundred and sixty-one rides.
But in the hearts of the unwitting and tired soldiers of the Jingjiang Army.
That is the invincible existence, the existence of kings.
When Ma Xizhan roared helplessly, no one paid attention.
He understood that he was defeated, and even though he had completely annihilated the 5,000 Black Flag Army, he was still defeated.
As he felt a breeze blow through his neck, he saw his body on horseback.
It was the captain of the cavalry battalion of the Special Operations Metropolitan Army, who greeted him with his sabers on behalf of the five thousand soldiers of the Black Flag Army.
A light breeze blew, and corpses were everywhere it went.
From now on, special operations will no longer take in prisoners.
……。
All in all, there were only seven hundred and sixty-one horses.
Still most of the Jingjiang army fled back to the gorge.
The only wish in their hearts is to go back, to Jingjiang.
But things often don't go their way out of the way.
Six hundred people from the infantry battalion of the Special Operations Capital appeared.
They didn't hide, they just stood in the middle of the official road, blocking the mouth of the canyon.
Each was armed with a shield and had no weapons.
Looking at the tragic situation in the canyon, no one was moved.
Why be moved?
for they will follow.
They lurked until this point, and when they saw that their brothers were completely annihilated here, the tears that should have been shed have long been gone.
So no longer moved.
The fleeing Jingjiang Army saw the array of six hundred Black Flag Army in front of them, and only took a moment, just a few people? Don't have weapons yet? No amount of people would be able to stop us from getting home.
It's a pity that these 600 Black Flag troops are not here to block their way home.
They're here to take them home.
Spend your life to send them home.
The two armies were twenty feet apart.
The Black Flag soldiers began to move.
A group of twenty people began to step forward.
Five feet apart.
The two sides began to hedge.
Approaching.
Contacted.
The soldiers of the Black Flag Army threw away the shields in their hands, smiled on their faces, looked at the soldiers of the Chu Army rushing towards them, and gently pulled the twelve grenades on their bodies in their disdainful eyes.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Black Flag Army were laughing, and the soldiers of the Jingjiang Army were afraid, no, desperate.
After the ......explosion of hundreds of grenades, a blanket was vacated over the official road that was once crowded with people.
