Chapter 942: Defeat

"Bastard!"

Chu Feipei finally reacted, and seeing that the defensive formation of the shield soldiers in front of him was broken, he was shocked and angry in his heart.

What was surprising was that the catapult of the Southern Yan Kingdom was so powerful, and the shield array that could block the crossbow shot of the bed could not block the bombardment of the catapult.

He was angry that his arrangement had failed, which made him very angry.

"Order, let the crossbowmen immediately counterattack, Yue Fei's army must be suppressed in the military formation!"

Chu Feipei's order was passed down immediately.

But before the crossbowmen could receive the order, suddenly it was dark again.

"It's ......"

Everyone looked up, and when they saw the thing that darkened the sky, their eyes were filled with fear.

It was a horrible rain of arrows!

These people quickly look for a place to hide.

"Puff puff!"

But before they could find a place, a rain of arrows poured down.

Pieces of soldiers from the Liyang Dynasty fell to the ground, killed by a rain of arrows.

This is the crossbowman in Yue Fei's army, and immediately after the catapult breaks through the enemy's shield array, he immediately obeys the order to release the arrow.

Without the shield soldiers to protect these Liyang Dynasty troops, these soldiers walked on the charging road, and they were live targets, so they could only rush forward.

But with every step, thousands of soldiers fell.

In order to defend against the attack of the Liyang Dynasty's army, the crossbowmen of Yue Fei's army reached a terrifying 200,000.

And that's just the crossbowmen, not counting the bed crossbowmen and the army in charge of the catapults.

The rain of arrows composed of 200,000 crossbowmen was like a head harvesting machine, frantically taking the lives of these soldiers of the Liyang Dynasty.

But the army of the Liyang Dynasty was worthy of being elite, and no one took a step back and rushed forward.

A clever soldier rushed to the place where the shield array was broken, bent down to pick up the shield from the ground, put it on his head, blocked the rain of arrows, and then continued to rush forward.

With the first person taking the lead, there will be many more who will do it.

It allowed them to move a lot forward.

"Bed crossbow array, put!"

But in Yue Fei's army array, Zhang He, who had already received the order, had already come to the bed crossbow array, adjusted the angle of the bed crossbow, and fired the bed crossbow in a flat manner.

Woohoo.

The bed crossbow shot out with a piercing sound of breaking through the air.

Puff puff!

Huge bed crossbow arrows pierced the enemy soldiers who rushed towards them, taking their lives.

Suddenly, the enemy's charge slowed down instantly.

The biggest reason why these soldiers will charge in the rain of arrows is because this is their only chance to live.

Standing still will be killed by a rain of arrows, and retreating will be killed by the rear Overseer.

Their only chance is to rush forward and break through the enemy's formation, and then they have the slightest chance to survive.

But now, with the horrific volley of the bed crossbow, these soldiers realized that instead of having a chance to live, they could die faster.

Perhaps now, the best chance of survival is to lie in the pile of dead people and cover yourself with someone else's corpse so that you don't get killed by a rain of arrows.

The elite infantry of the Liyang Dynasty who charged forward suddenly lost the indomitable courage they had before, and a wave of fear began to pervade.

"Bastard!"

"Bastard!"

When Chu Feipei saw it in the rear, he immediately scolded.

He didn't know that he had no chance of breaking through the enemy army at the moment.

And it all started because the damn catapult bombarded his warrior army and caught him off guard.

As a result, now he is completely on the verge of failure.

"Will ...... General, withdraw ...... Retreat!"

The adjutant general looked at Chu Feipei and whispered.

It had only been two quarters of an hour since the catapult had broken through the shield array.

But it was these two quarters of an hour that completely declared their defeat.

Without a shield array, they could not block the enemy's bow and crossbow formation, and the attack of the army could only be to send the enemy's head and continue to fight, which could only be a waste of troops.

You know, in just two quarters of an hour, they have lost more than 50,000 troops, and this number is still increasing wildly.

Moreover, having lost so many soldiers, their army had not yet come close to Yue Fei's army formation.

If the fight continues, according to the current situation, even if the army is all lost here, it may not be able to meet Yue Fei's army formation.

This is not an exaggeration, but it is a real possibility.

Before there was no way for the shield soldiers to resist the enemy's bed crossbow array and bow crossbow array, their charge only allowed the soldiers to die.

Even, even if you have a shield soldier, you have to find a way to break the catapult attack of the Nanyan Kingdom, otherwise you still can't break through Yue Fei's army formation.

But all this can only be a temporary retreat, a long-term plan, and wait until the arrival of the 1.3 million army in the rear of Le Chongjin.

Now we must not fight any more!

"Whew!"

Taking a deep breath, Chu Feipei looked at the soldiers who fell to the ground on the battlefield in front of him, his eyes were full of anger, but in the end, he turned helpless, and said in a deep voice: "Order the army, gather the army formation, and retreat!"

"Yes!"

When the adjutant general heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried down to give the order.

With an order, the vanguard army of the Liyang Dynasty immediately retreated.

Chu Feipei was indeed a somewhat capable general, he knew very well that once the army was in chaos when the army retreated, Yue Fei would definitely not miss this good opportunity to attack, and the losses would be one or two times more than now.

Therefore, he ordered the army to retreat in a concentrated formation, in order to avoid such a thing.

However, there was still a little bit he didn't take into account.

Before the Great War, the vanguard army of the Liyang Dynasty was already in a state of exhaustion, and in this case, Chu Feipei forcibly ordered the attack, which had already forced them to fight with courage.

If you win, it's good to say, once you lose, the courage to bring up will pass quickly.

This is the case now, with Chu Feipei's retreat order, the courage of the tired vanguard army of the Liyang Dynasty who fought with courage plummeted, and the exuberant fighting spirit fell instantly.

The military formation was even more crumbling.

In addition, the soldiers who were charging at the front had already appeared in their hearts, and when they heard the retreat order, they no longer worried about the rear supervision team, and directly turned around and fled frantically, rushing into the already crumbling military formation at once.

"Boom!"

There was a roar in the void.

Accompanied by the roar, the army of the Liyang Dynasty collapsed.

"It's ......"

Chu Feipei, who was leading the troops to retreat, heard this voice, turned his head suddenly, and when he saw that there was no longer any military formation in the sky above his army, his expression suddenly became frightened.

Just as he was about to order the army to speed up and retreat, suddenly an angry shout came from the rear: "Kill!"

When Yue Fei saw the enemy retreating again and the army formation collapsed, he did not hesitate and immediately led his troops to kill.

"Kill!"

Behind him, Qin Qiong, Zhang He, and Shen Zhengwen each led their troops and rushed towards the retreating vanguard army of the Liyang Dynasty.
