Text Chapter 581 Victory in the First Battle
After just one fight, Pound knew the strength of the other party, and when the two horses intertwined, he led the horses to accelerate away. He already felt that he was afraid that he was not an opponent of others, and the most important thing was that he had seen from a distance that Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Army Corps, was rushing towards him, and he wanted to join him to fight World War I.
Just swung a stick, the general of the Celestial Empire actually fled, which made Leonid furious, he hadn't really made a move yet, how could he let the fat in his mouth fly away like this. With his left hand pulling the reins, he turned around again and chased in the direction of Pound's retreat.
Talking about Pang De, just one round, he felt his arms numb, and he knew that he was invincible, and he hurried to Zhang He's side, and then shouted loudly when there was still a distance behind him, "Captain Zhang, this manpower is infinite, please be careful." ”
"General Pang, I know, how are you injured, why don't you go down and bandage it first." Zhang He, who was galloping on horseback, nodded to Pound, and after indicating that he already knew, he asked in a language full of concern.
"No, it's just a skin injury, and it's not in the way. Now that the general is going to fight, I will be with the general. At this moment, Pang De also stood up, and Jianma adjusted a direction and stood with Zhang He.
As soon as the two of them stood still, Leonid on the opposite side had already rushed over, and before anyone arrived, the sound came first, and he smashed it with a stick under a loud roar.
Although I don't know what this person is shouting, I can guess that it probably means killing. "Left and right." Zhang He made a decision at the first time, even if the other party is known for his strength, then they will adopt guerrilla tactics and not give him a chance to show his ability.
Pound also nodded, and then together with Zhang He, they outflanked Leonid from left to right, and they wanted to use the flexibility of their body to fight.
One enemy became two, Leonid was not afraid of anti-joy, relying on the fierceness of his body, when was he afraid of others? When he saw two Celestial Empire generals wearing cloaks rushing towards him, he first set his target on Zhang He's body.
Zhang He was wearing an orange cloak, and Pang De was wearing a yellow cloak, and when he had read the relevant information and knew that the rank of the Celestial Empire generals could be determined by the cloak, Leonid decided to kill an official if he wanted to, so that his credit would be greater.
The iron rod in his hand moved as he wished, and with a wave of it, he swung towards Zhang He, who came from the left.
Zhang He was holding a nine-curved gun, and his marksmanship has always been known for its flexibility, and when he saw Leonid smash his stick, he stabbed forward with the gun, as if he was going to fight hard.
Seeing the spear stabbed at the iron bar, Leonid's face showed a sense of self-satisfaction, he was afraid that the other party would not fight with him, and if he dared to fight hard, it was equivalent to him grasping the initiative. Therefore, when he watched this shot come straight at him, he increased the force on the iron rod, and he wanted to give the Celestial Empire general a look at it with a single blow, just like he did just now.
Leonid thought well, and indeed increased his strength, but what he didn't expect was that Zhang He would still have a hard time with him after listening to Pound's words, these tricks were just false moves, the spear seemed to be handed out, but it was indeed only retracted after drawing an arc in mid-air, and then it was handed again, this time the target was Leonid's head.
Regarding the information on the famous generals of the Second Army of the Rus' State, Zhang Chao had shown it to everyone as early as the night before. Zhang He also took note of their characteristics, and even thought about how to deal with them once they encountered them.
And now, all the ideas became a reality at this moment, and he confronted Leonid according to his previous train of thought.
Zhang He's speed of both shooting and retracting the gun was extremely fast, so fast that Leonid believed it, and so fast that the iron rod in his hand was empty.
Just when Leonid hit the air, Zhang He's nine-curved spear had stabbed him in the forehead, and on the other side, Pound also came with a truncated broadsword, this time he was poised to fire, and the flashing cold and ghostly broadsword slashed down from above with the momentum of thunder, although the blade was still in mid-air, but the incomparably sharp blade was pressing, making people feel like death was coming.
There were knives and spears on the left and right, even though Leonid was infinitely powerful, but at this moment he still felt threatened, and he had to avoid his edge, and while his body continued to dodge, he also retracted the iron rod in his hand in front of him.
"Dangdang."
The nine-curved spear and the big head of the interceptor knife were smashed on the iron rod, bringing supreme coercion, causing Leonid to grin at this moment.
The defense is equivalent to being in a passive state, Zhang He and Pang De are accumulating strength, you can imagine how powerful this blow is, that is, Leonid can barely hold on, and he is replaced by others, I am afraid that he will not be able to resist it for a long time.
"Yikes!" His face was red, Leonid held an iron rod to take all the attacks, and then he was angry and dantian, and his arms suddenly pushed outward, and at this moment he used the power of milking, that is, this push, and he actually pushed the Jiuqu spear and the truncated broadsword away.
"Again." Seeing that Leonid's strength was so strong, Zhang He didn't dare to hold it up, and after signaling to Pound, the body of the gun was spinning, and it was like a spiritual snake and wrapped around Leonid who raised the iron rod again.
The truncated broadsword in Pound's hand was also slashed twice with the whistling wind at this moment, and they wanted to see if this so-called Hercules general of the Rus Kingdom really had infinite power.
If you have a lot of strength, I will play with you flexibly, pestering you, so that you can't exert your real strength, so you have to see if you can really use your strength inexhaustibly.
Faced with Zhang He's fighting style of fighting, Leonid couldn't say anything bitter in his heart.
In the past, when he faced the enemy, he hurt someone when he didn't make a move, and often the enemy couldn't even resist his own stick, so he was defeated. But now, the two opponents in front of him didn't give him a chance to attack at all, but kept beckoning him with a left shot and a right knife, looking like that, they clearly wanted to kill him.
Naturally, as a general with the name of Hercules, Leonid is indeed very strong, and he is not a person who will do his best for a while, but if he continues to fight like this, he will not be able to take advantage of it at all, and he can only defend, and the feeling of not being able to attack is really uncomfortable.
The trio tossed their horses and their weapons flying, and in a quarter of an hour they had exchanged about sixty rounds. Of course, for the so-called sixty rounds, Leonid has always been on the defensive.
In the Rus' army, Alexander was too far away to see what was happening on the battlefield. But there were indeed messengers who kept sending back news from the battlefield, and when he heard that his general Leonid was actually entangled by two Celestial Empire generals, attacking less and defending more, he also knew that things were not good.
Even as Leonid's commander, Alexander knew better about his general's abilities.
Leonid's bravery lies in strength, and such strength cannot be possessed all the time, once the fight is too long, and it is still impossible to win, it will be in a dangerous state.
In other words, Leonid is suitable for short battles, just like Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, once he blocks the first three moves, it becomes very difficult to achieve victory.
"Mingjin retreats." Alexander was afraid that Leonid would lose, but finally made the decision to withdraw his army.
Although doing so means that the first battle seems to have failed, what is this compared to being able to save the general's life? As I said, the army is only the first day of war today, and there should be many more battles like this in the future, and just one defeat doesn't prove anything.
The sound of the ringing gold sounded and was heard in Leonid's ears. Although he was still unwilling, but the military order was like a mountain, he did not dare to disobey, and immediately danced the iron rod in his hand in front of him, forcing Zhang He and Pang De back, and then rode back and headed towards his own military camp.
"Kill!" Seeing that the other party was about to withdraw, such a good opportunity, how could Zhang He miss it, and immediately drank it, the army began to pursue, chased for three miles, and killed thousands of people on the other side before turning around.
In the first battle, the Celestial Empire army won.
In order to kill the enemy general Mordhan, force Leonid back, and kill another 6,000 soldiers as the fruit. In contrast, the Celestial Empire army only paid the price of nearly two thousand lives.
If you want to say that this is the power of Rus, if you change to other opponents, it is impossible to hurt so many of their soldiers in defeat. It can be seen that the strength of the Rus Kingdom is not just a matter of words, if it weren't for Zhang Chao's full understanding of the other party before, and the generals under him would have already had their own plans, I am afraid that the price to be paid in this battle would only be more.
At the end of the battle, the armies of both sides began to retreat, and each returned to the barracks, and the distance between the two sides remained fifteen miles.
Zhang Chao did not take the opportunity of victory to order the whole army to attack, and the Rus Kingdom did not retreat to the city because of a defeat. As if they had made a decision, they retreated after the first battle was decided, and then prepared for a new battle the next day.
In such a battlefield, what you fight is the courage of the generals, and what you fight is the bravery of the soldiers. On the contrary, some strategies or something will be useful. It is said that this kind of battle is not what Zhang Chao likes, blindly brute force, if you don't get it right, you will lose both, just to completely conquer the heart of the Russ power, he really has to do it now.
The army returned to the garrison, and Zhang Chao once again convened a military meeting above the deputy commander of the corps. He first praised Zhang He and Pang De, especially for the latter's practice of killing the enemy first at the expense of losing both.
