Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After having Yang Tian's orders, Guo Jia quickly adjusted the battle plan, first of all, the archers on the city wall increased. At the same time, a legion of pikemen and a legion of sword and shield soldiers began to assemble under the north gate, and this army of nearly 200,000 people gathered more than half of the members of this type of army in the two legions of greedy wolf and lion.

Of course, the most important thing is the army standing at the forefront of this, which is Yang Tian's personal guard Iron Eagle Legion.

With Guo Jia's order, the north gate slowly opened, and under Xu Gong's surprised gaze in the distance, a large number of troops rushed out of the door hole and went straight to Xu Gong's Chinese army.

Xu Gong could see clearly that the army that rushed out in front was not easy to match, and it could be judged from the long lance in their hands that this was the strongest single strength of the Iron Eagle Legion under the command of Sunshine, and the weapon of the lance was only equipped by them.

At the first moment, Xu Gong thought of retreating! If you don't withdraw, you can't do it! Who has put himself at the forefront of the army now? If he was surrounded by the Iron Eagle Legion, he would not be able to escape. However, he did not intend to withdraw directly, but his own Chinese army retreated some distance so as not to expose himself to the enemy's attack. Because in his opinion, the White Cloud City side should just send a small elite army to rush over and kill it, so as to blow down their own morale. After all, now they are defending the city, and no matter how strong they are, they should not give up the advantage of the city wall.

Therefore, Xu Gong did not hesitate, and immediately ordered an army of 100,000 people to stand out from the army and stop the rushing army. At the same time, he also ordered an army to stand by until the Iron Eagle Legion completely broke out of the city gate and closed it. They rushed over and took the gates.

And Xu Gong himself retreated a few hundred meters with his personal guards.

The two armies collided together in an instant, because the Iron Eagle Legion rushed out of the city gate and did not re-array, so the front line was very long, and the army sent by Xu Gong was a phalanx, if the strength of the two sides was equal, then the Iron Eagle Legion would definitely be gradually cut off like a piece of wood.

However, at this moment, the Iron Eagle Legion was like a big sword, slashing in in an instant, breaking the formation of the Xu Gong Army in half. Then divide and fight. It's a spectacle. Xu Gong's 100,000 troops were under the impact of less than 10,000 Iron Eagle Warriors, as if they were chopping melons and vegetables, and their troops were cut down one by one in less than a few minutes. Thousands of people have already been killed.

Such a result has nothing to do with strategy. It's all about the difference in strength. Xu Gong saw this scene in his eyes. It can be described as extremely painful, if you also have such an invincible army under your command, why can't you break the current situation?

That's not the only thing that makes Xu Gong depressed. For he found that when all the members of the Iron Eagle Legion rushed out of the city, the gate showed no sign of closing, but another army rushed out after him.

The other side plans to charge the whole army? Are they really ready to abandon the walls and fight with themselves in the wilderness? This doesn't make sense!

Unless, the opponent's forces far exceed their own......

At this moment, Xu Gong's cold sweat broke out! He didn't know the strength of the army in Baiyun City, and if the other party really transferred the strongest legions to Haiyan City, he was afraid that he would really not be afraid to fight him head-on. If you also plan to fight to the death with the other party, you must be the one who dies in the end.

Seeing the endless army coming out of the north city gate, Xu Gong gritted his teeth and gave the order to retreat unwillingly, he didn't want to retreat after losing his troops, that would completely lose the opportunity to fight the world, and even Wu Jun couldn't control it.

Xu Gong's order to retreat was issued, but how could millions of troops say that they could withdraw? Before, they came from the official road, and it took them two or three hours to set up the formation.

Yang Tian saw this scene on the city wall, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, since the other party dared to come with so many elite troops this time, he didn't mind helping and taking some in. Xu Gong wants to retreat along the way, but it depends on whether he agrees, right?

At present, the four gates of Haiyan City are opened, and a large number of troops rush out of each city gate, but the shouting in their mouths is much more than the momentum of the charge, what are they shouting? Naturally, Xu Gong fled.

These soldiers of Xu Gong's army had already heard the order to retreat, and they were a little anxious, and when they saw a large number of troops emerging from their own city gates, they also shouted that Xu Gong had fled, and the army was suddenly a little chaotic. But the speed of retreat in front has reached the fastest, unless they scatter and flee, it will not be a retreat, but a rout. At that time, it is difficult to say how many troops Xu Gong will be able to muster.

However, just when the enduring capacity of the soldiers of Xu Gong was about to reach the limit, Yang Tian at the head of the city launched a skill that he had not used for a long time, the Persuasion Technique!

Perhaps it was because the army in front of him had long lost its fighting spirit, so the persuasion technique also played the best effect, and five percent of the army was absorbed by Yang Tian. Of course, Yang Tian's purpose is not limited to this, this is a million army, although he can't leave them all, it's no problem to collect two or three hundred thousand!

As the Baiyun City army rushed to the front of Xu Gong's army, shouting that those who surrendered would not be killed, those soldiers under the influence of Yang Tian's persuasion technique quickly threw away the weapons in their hands and shouted: "I surrender!" Don't kill me! Then he raised his hands in the air, indicating that he would not resist.

With someone taking the lead, the rest of the matter is simple, a large number of soldiers of Xu Gongjun chose to surrender, anyway, he is not the first, and there is no pressure to surrender.

However, more of these people chose to flee, and now they are completely in chaos, and they no longer follow the arrangements of the centurions and thousands, and carry out an organized retreat, but swarm away, at this moment, they are no longer an elite army, but a group of routs.

Xu Gong also had soldiers who were persuaded by Yang Tian to surrender, but as soon as they stood up, they were beheaded by the leaders around them, because the troops that attacked the North City Gate with Xu Gong were all Xu Gong's direct troops, and they would not be disturbed by a few words.

It's just that the situation of the other three city walls made Xu Gong very sad, this is all his family wealth! I don't know how much I can collect after this battle, I hope it won't be too tragic!

Xu Gong did not sit still and let the armies of the other three city walls collapse, but sent several of his capable generals to rush to these directions, so that they could try their best to collect the scattered army, these are elite, it is not easy to cultivate, and one less is a great loss.

After Xu Gong escaped more than 30 kilometers, several generals who had gathered the deserters also rushed back, and they brought Xu Gong a relatively good news, and most of the fleeing personnel were gathered up. But when Xu Gong saw the less than 400,000 troops behind him, he had an urge to cry. (To be continued)
