Chapter Eighty-Three: Yin Soldiers? On the black dog blood!
When two armies are at war, victory or defeat is often only instantaneous.
Several battalions of soldiers and horses on the front line of the Xiliang Army were killed and routed, and the rout in turn impacted the Chinese army, as if it was a snowball, and the rout expanded rapidly.
If Wang Xuan's side only had 3,000 elite soldiers, Li Dao and Guo Yan could still grit their teeth and sacrifice the front-line soldiers and horses, and the main force would retreat several miles and reorganize the formation.
However, in addition to the 3,000 elite soldiers, Wang Xuan also has 30,000 Yangzhou soldiers, so he won't give them a chance at all!
Lu Su and Wen Ping saw the opportunity, and each led a team of soldiers and horses to attack left and right, Li Dao and Guo Yan had no power to return to the sky, and the 50,000 Xiliang army was completely defeated and retreated.
The Yangzhou army pursued closely, chasing the dead all the way to the north, either surrendering or besieging and killing.
Before you know it, it's completely dark, and night has fallen.
Wang Xuan did not continue to expand the results of the battle, but ordered all armies to assemble to deal with the next crisis.
The Xiliang army attacked Yangzhou this time, not only sending 50,000 soldiers and horses, but also 800 Yin soldiers!
Yin soldiers from the Liaozhai world, each of them has a strength comparable to the eighth layer of body refining, what is this concept?
Zhang Fei's current cultivation is only at the eighth level of body refinement!
Any Yin soldier pulled out is the kind of evil ghost and ghost who is the one who is the trouble. That is, tens of thousands of troops are gathered together, and the qi and blood and evil qi have a certain restraint effect on the Yin soldiers, otherwise Lu Su and them will be wiped out by those Yin soldiers before!
However, Wang Xuan fought with the Yin soldiers twice and suffered some hardships, so he naturally prepared some methods against the Yin soldiers.
In today's battle, why did he choose to fight on foot, without riding a war horse or riding a big black dog?
"Black dog blood can restrain ghosts, but these yin soldiers are all old ghosts, ordinary black dog blood has no effect on them, only a dog demon like Scream can have an immediate effect." Wang Xuan sighed in his heart: "Dog, you have a little more blood this time, I will let you make up for it in the future......"
In order to deal with the Yin soldiers, the big black dog Screaming has contributed a lot of black dog blood in the past few days, and combined with the cinnabar that has been cultivated by the aura for two months, as well as dozens of spiritual materials, it has been refined by Xin Shi Niang herself to make a kind of medicine that restrains ghosts.
At this time, the five hundred cavalry battalions that followed behind Wang Xuan each prepared a special ring-headed knife, which was smeared with medicinal powder refined from the blood of a black dog. When fighting with the Xiliang Army before, the Xiaocai battalion did not take out the ring head knife, not only for fear that the ring head knife would be damaged, but also for fear that the medicine smeared on it would be invalid in the slashing and killing.
They waited for the battle, and it didn't take long for them to see a hazy ghost emerge and form an army.
"Even eight hundred Yin soldiers dare to be presumptuous in front of me?" Wang Xuan shouted: "The cavalry battalion is in front, the elite soldiers are in the middle, and the other soldiers and horses are close behind, kill!" ”
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed away with his spear in hand.
The martial arts cultivation of the second layer of the True Martial Arts made his whole body full of qi and blood, and it was like a big furnace for those ghosts, making them feel a burning sensation.
Even if it is a Yin soldier, he does not have the slightest power to fight back under Wang Xuan, and he can basically kill one with one shot.
The ghost aura is pervasive, the Yin soldiers have formed a formation, and the power is linked, so that Wang Xuan can't do anything, and he will even be shrouded in the ghost mist, sucking out the power of qi and blood in his whole body.
The role of the Yangzhou army is reflected, even if it was damaged when it fought with the Xiliang army before, there were still 20,000 soldiers and horses thrown into the battle, and the blood and evil qi were rolled up, which directly diluted those ghost fogs.
The three thousand elite soldiers such as the Xiao Cavalry Battalion followed closely behind Wang Xuan and fought with the Yin soldiers.
Originally, with the strength of these elite soldiers, they couldn't cause much damage to the Yin soldiers at all, and they could only rely on the numerical advantage to survive those Yin soldiers, and the lethality was quite limited.
It's like the battle of Nanyang County, the Yangzhou army paid a huge price in casualties, and only killed more than 100 Yin soldiers, half of which were killed by Wang Xuan.
However, today, when the elite soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion slashed at the Yin soldiers with the ring-headed knife, the lethality of the Yin soldiers was greatly improved. After a slash, black qi will rise, as if the ice cubes are scalded with a red-hot iron, stirring up the mist in the sky, and those yin soldiers are also like ice cubes, and the ghost qi in their bodies quickly dissolves.
This battle was very fierce, Wang Xuan's strength had increased a lot compared to when he was in Nanyang, and the Xiao Cavalry Battalion could also cause a certain amount of lethality to the Yin soldiers with the restraint of black dog blood. On the other hand, on the Yin soldier side, there were only 800 Yin soldiers dispatched this time, which was 200 less than when they were in Nanyang County.
The final result did not surprise Wang Xuan, they won, and the eight hundred Yin soldiers were all wiped out.
With the strength of Wang Xuan alone, he killed a full two hundred Yin soldiers. Xin Shi Niang also participated in the battle, and sacrificed a flying sword to kill hundreds of Yin soldiers.
At the end of the battle, those Yin soldiers collapsed and fled in all directions, but the 20,000 Yangzhou troops followed one after another, so that those ghosts could not escape.
This is a battle between the living and the dead, when the Yin soldiers suffered too many casualties, they could no longer form a military formation to fight against the strength and evil spirit of the Yangzhou army, and after being suppressed, the strength could only be exerted five or six percent.
The majestic power of qi and blood and evil qi rose to the sky, and even those ghosts couldn't fly into the air to escape, and there was only one way to die.
When the dust settled, Wang Xuan counted his own damage and counted the results.
Of the 30,000 Yangzhou soldiers, 8,000 were killed in direct battle, and 5,000 were disabled due to injuries, so they could only withdraw from the army in the future.
It was a pyrrhic victory, but fortunately while his side suffered heavy casualties, the enemy's casualties were even greater.
Of the 50,000 Xiliang soldiers, more than 15,000 were killed, and more than 20,000 were captured alive. Among the remaining fifteen,000 people, many of them were scattered all over Jiangdong, and Wang Xuan only needed some time to be able to clean them up.
The Xiliang soldiers and horses who fled back with Li Dao and Guo Yan are estimated to be about 5,000 people.
Wang Xuan didn't care too much about those Xiliang troops, the real gain of this battle was to kill eight hundred Yin soldiers!
If you add the first battle of Nanyang County and the first battle of Tiger Prison Pass, the Yin soldiers from the Liaozhai world have lost nearly a thousand people!
By the time Dong Zhuo marched south, it was estimated that there would be only two or three thousand Yin soldiers left who could be mobilized, which greatly eased the pressure on Wang Xuan in the future.
"In today's battle, our army suffered heavy casualties, and some soldiers must be recruited to replenish it. Before Dong Zhuo's army went south, the recruits were trained. Wang Xuan looked at the casualty report and couldn't help but feel a little headache.
The casualties of ordinary soldiers were just that, but he rushed to the front line of the battle with 3,000 soldiers, especially when facing the Yin soldiers, which directly caused half of the 3,000 elite soldiers to be damaged.
