Chapter 656: Turning the Tide [1 Update]

Cheng Yu roared, like thunder on the battlefield, within a radius of 100 zhang, both sides of the battle were startled by his roar, and subconsciously looked towards where Cheng Yu was.

Although Cheng Yu's words were not incomprehensible to the soldiers of the Grand Duchy of Moscow, those soldiers were not blind, and they could naturally see Alyosha who was raised high by the flagpole.

As the existence of the god of war of the Second Legion, Alyosha is definitely the spiritual idol of all the soldiers, so these soldiers who are fighting hard with the soldiers of the Great Ming can recognize Alyosha at a glance.

It is precisely because these soldiers are too impressed with Alyosha that they can be sure that Alyosha who was provoked by Cheng Yu is not an impostor, but the real Alyosha.

His own commander was captured alive by the enemy, and when such a thought flashed in his heart, all the soldiers were stunned.

Alyosha was captured alive, which at least dealt a great blow to the officers and men of the Second Army, especially in terms of morale.

If the soldiers of the Second Legion are extremely brave one by one, even in the face of the bombardment of the tiger squatting artillery, these soldiers are rushing forward one after another, without the slightest fear, but at this moment Alyosha was captured alive, and the soldiers seemed to have been broken their backbones, and their morale obviously plummeted.

In the middle of the army, the commander of the Sixth Army, who had been steadily fighting and was under the protection of his personal guards, Shetel was flying out a Ming sergeant, looking into the distance with some doubts.

Shetl couldn't see Alyosha in the distance at this moment, after all, there was chaos all around, flags were waving, and it was impossible to see the specific situation from a distance of hundreds of meters.

Although Alyosha could not be seen lifted high, Shetl was clearly aware of the change in the morale of the soldiers of the Second Legion around him.

Sensing the change in the morale of the soldiers of the Second Legion, Shetel couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart.

At this moment, there was a discussion in front of me.

"Alyosha was captured alive!"

Almost exclaiming, Schettell looked at a soldier of the Second Legion with a look of shock on his face, who looked lost and despaired, obviously stimulated by the astonishing news.

Taking a step forward, Shetl almost grabbed the soldier and shouted, "What the hell is going on, what is wrong with Alyosha!" ”

Several soldiers lowered their eyes and did not dare to look at Shetl, but one of them raised his head and said in a trembling voice with a bit of grief and indignation: "Commander Shetel, we ...... Our Alyosha corps commander was captured alive by the Ming generals. ”

"Impossible!"

Instinctively roared, Shettel's instinctive reaction was disbelief, after all, Alyosha had been on the battlefield for more than ten years, and his experience was incomparable, even if he fought with him, he would barely be able to protect himself.

As for Alyosha being captured alive by life, to be honest, Shetl really didn't think about it, but now this impossible thing has happened.

Taking a deep breath, Shetl was the most calm of the several legions of the Grand Duchy of Moscow.

Even when he heard such shocking news suddenly, Shetl was only slightly stunned, and then regained his calm, no matter how turbulent his heart was, but his expression was calm.

With a calm face, Shetl calmly made a decision and said to the herald beside him: "Immediately send the order, order the army to attack, and give me no matter what the price, I will snatch back the commander of the Alyosha army no matter what!" ”

It is unlikely that such a crazy order could have been made by a general as Shertel, who has always been steady, but Schetel has accurately grasped the opportunity to win by virtue of his astounding experience against the enemy.

The reaction of normal people is naturally to withdraw the troops, but Shetel knows one thing in his heart, that is, once the troops are withdrawn, it is very likely to turn into a big rout, and now that Alyosha has been captured, the morale of the upper and lower ranks of the Second Army has been extremely badly hit, and Shetel has just thought of the best way to deal with it in the blink of an eye.

Sure enough, as Shetle's order was conveyed, the soldiers of the Second Legion, who were originally demoralized, became extremely energetic one by one.

In order to save Alyosha, the soldiers of the Second Legion were almost crazy, and they continued to attack the Ming army formation.

The soldiers of the Second Legion themselves are very elite and strong, and in a one-on-one situation, the two sides are almost comparable.

But at this time, the Second Army changed its previous decline amazingly, suppressed the Ming army on the opposite side, and even faintly advanced towards the Ming side.

"Hmm!"

Lu Dazhu, who noticed this, waved the spear in his hand and flew the last few of Alyosha's personal guards, and nearly a hundred personal guards all died around Lu Dazhu.

With Lu Dazhu as the center, hundreds of corpses were poured within a radius of dozens of zhang, and these corpses were all Alyosha's personal guards.

Lu Dazhu, who was full of anger, noticed the change in the enemy's morale, and couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and said slowly with a bit of solemnity on his face: "I really didn't expect that, in addition to Alyosha, there is such a calm opponent." ”

Needless to say, it was Shetl who received such praise from Lu Dazhu, because the choice made by Shetel was obviously the best choice, and if he was a slightly more mediocre general, he would probably be chasing down the defeated enemy at this time.

With a long roar, Lu Dazhu raised the spear in his hand and shouted: "All the soldiers, follow me to kill the enemy." ”

is the so-called courage of the soldiers, and Lu Dazhu's bravery naturally attracted the morale of the great soldiers.

The armies of the two sides were in a stalemate, but on the whole, as the morale of the Second Army soared, with a certain numerical advantage, in fact, the Ming side was faintly inferior.

It's just that the perception of both sides is quite weak, especially looking at this posture, I'm afraid that I won't be able to tell the result for a while.

It's been a long time since I've encountered such a brutal battle, and if an army can suffer two or three percent of casualties in idle circumstances, then this army may have collapsed, but at this time, neither the Ming side nor the several major armies of the Grand Duchy of Moscow have been shaken in the slightest because of heavy casualties.

In less than half a day, the number of dead and wounded on both sides alone was no less than thousands, and if you add it up, it is almost more than 10,000.

When the sun sets, the situation on the battlefield becomes more and more solemn, and the two sides are still fighting together, and it seems that they will never stop without distinguishing between victory and defeat.

At this time, a burst of sound of gold sounded, and the Ming soldiers who were in the middle of the battle heard the sound of gold for a while, and they were stunned for a while, and they suddenly broke out, and forced the opponent with a stunned face on the opposite side to retreat.

By the time these people reacted, the soldiers of the Great Ming had already withdrawn a few zhang away, and just as the soldiers of the Second and Sixth Legions were preparing to pursue, a roar was heard.

Under the control of hundreds of soldiers, the Tiger Squat Cannon, which had retreated earlier, roared towards the Second and Sixth Army Corps on the opposite side.

In the blink of an eye, as many as two or three hundred soldiers of the Second and Sixth Legions fell to the ground, and many of them rolled on the ground with their wounds in their arms, wailing in their mouths.

Seeing this scene, Shetl, who was extremely calm, looked at the Da Ming soldiers who had withdrawn more than a dozen zhang away, and it was said that at this time he should order to take the opportunity to collect the troops, so that the exhausted soldiers could rest.

However, Schertel personally blew the horn of the charge, and the soldiers of the Second and Sixth Legions, who were stunned for a moment, still chased after the Ming soldiers on the opposite side, even though they were exhausted.

Lu Dazhu couldn't help but show surprise when he noticed this, and looked at the place where Shetl was in the crowd, his eyes full of appreciation.

"Interesting, really interesting, such an interesting general is rare!"

The words were said so, but Lu Dazhu came with a horse in high spirits, and a horse neighing sounded, and he saw Lu Dazhu wearing a blood-colored cloak, standing in front of the army with a spear in his hand, and shouted: "Shetle, dare to fight with Lu!" ”

Lu Dazhu, who was full of anger, broke off and was stunned to suppress the army that rushed up, whether it was the soldiers of the second and sixth legions, they actually couldn't understand Lu Dazhu's words, but Lu Dazhu stared at the direction where Shetl was, and these soldiers naturally subconsciously looked at their own commander.

Beside Sheter, an interpreter whispered Lu Dazhu's words to him, and saw Shetel glance at Lu Dazhu with a little disdain.

To tell the truth, if you really talk about the ability to unify the army, Lu Dazhu is indeed not a famous general, he is more suitable as a pioneer who charges into battle, as for being the commander of the first army, although he is barely qualified, but it also depends on who he is compared with.

Lu Dazhu's ability to command the army is naturally not comparable in front of Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing, even if it is compared to Cheng Xiangwulai, it is a few points worse. If it weren't for that, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu Dazhu to make the choice to withdraw when he saw the armies on both sides showing fatigue.

In that case, what is to compete is the will of both sides, it depends on which side can hold on to the end, the soldiers of the Ming side are exhausted, in fact, the other party is the same, they are all exhausted.

It's just that Lu Dazhu made some mistakes in his choice.

This is not to blame Lu Dazhu, Lu Dazhu's ability to command the army is so strong, but his bravery can make up for many mistakes in decision-making, just like now Lu Dazhu stands in front of the enemy army, and he will deter the enemy army on the spot.
