Chapter 259
The situation was a little tense, and Lin Xuanzhong was already holding a spear at the prisoner in front of him at the moment. The battlefield gradually quieted down, and Zhao Wu on the chariot seemed to be trying his best to suppress his anger, and his face was unusually calm. Since they didn't know much about the battle situation over there, the soldiers on the side didn't know what to say at the moment.
Previously, when Zhao Wu ordered Zhao Xu to ask the cavalry to withdraw in the past, the army was present, and the night country joined the army and remembered that Zhao Wu had specially told those cavalry generals to chase them five miles away or withdraw immediately when the snow army had a counterattack.
Unexpectedly, those generals finally ignored Zhao Wu's instructions, and now the Snow Army is dying and counterattacking, and the situation seems to understand to them, and the Night Kingdom finally understands what Zhao Wu meant by the accident before.
Before the Chengguan army arrived, if the snow army counterattacked back, it would be very unfavorable to the current situation. Only a few miles away, the Night Country joined the army and felt that the Snow Army might come back at any time, but he was worried about his own safety. Unexpectedly, it had already been determined that it was their night army that won a complete victory, but at this time, such a situation happened, and the night country joined the army and became more and more panicked.
At the same time, Zhao Wu's face became heavier and heavier, and Zhao Wu knew that if the worst happened, then the Night Army would have to pay a far greater price than expected in order to win the final victory. Just now, Zhao Wu strictly ordered those cavalry to withdraw on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked General Shi and them to bring people over to support, precisely to prevent this from happening.
On the other side, at the night country cavalry, tens of thousands of snow soldiers were forced to helpless one by one after losing their armor and still unable to get rid of the pursuit of the night army, and as a result, under the leadership of those bloody generals in the army, they directly launched a counterattack against the night army cavalry without the commander's order. Although there were a lot of casualties at first, as the battle progressed, the situation began to slowly tilt over.
The snow army became more and more courageous, among them, the snow army of receiving weapons with bare hands, and the snow army of cavalry alone abounded, blood could no longer bring them fear, and all they had in their hearts was endless anger.
Before, when Zhao Xu and other generals arrived, the Snow Army only cared about running away, and had no tendency to fight back, but the main generals who led the army saw that the Snow Army had no intention of fighting, and they all felt that it was time for them to destroy the enemy army in one fell swoop.
Among them, there is an arrow battalion commander with high power and high qualifications, who is the general who accepted his order from the night country reinforcements, and there is also a cavalry battalion commander who is also a general who Zhao Wu previously accepted from the reinforcements, both of them want to use this battle to show their respective abilities, and strive to make a great contribution to let Zhao Wu know that not only the original Chengguan defenders are powerful, but their reinforcements are also not bad.
Urging in a hurry to make meritorious contributions, the two main generals did not withdraw their troops in time according to the military order brought by Zhao Xu, but took more than 20,000 subordinates to chase after them non-stop, and chased the snow army five miles away in one go. During this period, Zhao Xu persuaded them to withdraw their troops many times, but the two main generals still felt that Zhao Xu was troublesome, and continued to chase them regardless of military orders.
It didn't take long for the Snow Army to turn and pounce on them, as if they had been greatly stimulated, and in spite of their extreme fear, they all turned and pounced on them, and in the blink of an eye, the Night Army had all become their enemies as deep as the sea. Ignoring the fear in their hearts, the Snow Army threw themselves at the Night Army with anger one by one.
Under the fierce counterattack of the snow army one by one, a kind of unyielding emotion in the snow army broke out in a mournful shout, instantly infecting all the soldiers.
In the blink of an eye, the scattered defense lines of the Snow Army were connected from all over the place, and all the Snow Army hated the same enemy, and they all fought against the Night Army with the determination to die.
It didn't take long for the Snow Army to counterattack desperately, and the rising Night Army who were killing finally felt scared. Then, when they found out about the changes in the Snow Army, the fear in their hearts immediately turned into boundless fear that quickly engulfed their hearts, and some of the Night Army forgot to attack because of the excessive panic of the Snow Army's lifeless behavior.
One by one, the cavalry was constantly inserted and pulled down from the carriage by the snow army, and the advancing battle line of the night army was quickly stopped. At the same time, the defeat of the night army was highlighted, and it was out of control, Zhao Xu and the general who accompanied him just now had no choice but to join the battle group and fight with those soldiers.
It's a pity that their participation has little effect, and the Snow Army is all extremely brave, full of the spirit of not fearing death, or sending them to death. All in all, the performance of the Snow Army only brought the Night Army a fear beyond their cognition, and in the final analysis, the Night Army was also an ordinary martial artist. Previously, it was completely because of the strong momentum that they were able to exert their full combat power, otherwise once it was a fair battle, the cavalry of the Night Army would not have performed too well.
After fighting, the general who was ordered to come finally ran to the battlefield and passed Zhao Wu's order to the generals, and the two main generals heard the word "dismissal", and their hearts sank. The ordinary generals who had been fighting with the two main generals became nervous one by one.
"General, let's withdraw our troops," the commander of the cavalry battalion had not yet spoken, and the other generals of the cavalry battalion had already persuaded him.
"General Li, the marshal has an order, don't withdraw quickly. For the cavalry battalion commander who did not listen to his orders, Zhao Xu, who was also the commander of the cavalry battalion, had been suppressing his anger. If the person leading the troops to fight was the other party, Zhao Xu would have directly ordered the withdrawal of the troops.
And the commander of the cavalry battalion as the commander of the operation is in a dilemma at this moment, their night army is gone, but after returning will be heavily punished, this person is unwilling to withdraw the army back. But none of the other generals had the intention of fighting, and in the end, this man gritted his teeth and ordered the withdrawal of the army.
On the other side, the commander of the arrow battalion, who had been advancing and retreating with the cavalry battalion commander, remained silent and did not speak when he received Zhao Wuxin's military order. Originally, this person wanted to assist the cavalry battalion master to make meritorious contributions, but now this person is destined to be punished together with the cavalry battalion master.
In any case, the night army has begun to withdraw, and the cavalry who have seen the snow army's fearless spirit of death do not want to face these crazy enemy forces again.
Come fast, go fast, as long as the 20,000 cavalry did not fall off the horse, all turned around and ran to the rear, the rest of the people could run, and those who could not run were caught up by the snow army behind, and they were all killed with spears, and the death was extremely miserable.
Although the cavalry withdrew, the Snow Army kept chasing after them, and they were extremely angry with the Night Army, eager to break those Night Army into pieces. However, the speed of the cavalry was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, the distance between the two sides had been stretched to hundreds of meters.
The Snow Army can't catch up with it on its legs at all, unless it goes all the way to the original battlefield. And after going two miles ahead, the reinforcements arranged by Zhao Wu finally came. After the cavalry galloped past, more than 10,000 archers immediately stopped and prepared to attack the approaching snow army.
Not long after, the generals of the Snow Army who were chasing after them found that the reinforcements of the Night Army were coming, and the front was full of archers of the Night Army, and the cavalry they were chasing had fled to a distance, and immediately shouted to the Snow Army who killed the red eyes, "Stop attacking." ”
The generals of the Snow Army were eager to pursue it further, but unfortunately the situation did not allow it, and once they were within range of the Night Army archers, waiting for them would only lead to more casualties. No matter how strong their soldiers were, they couldn't stop the attacks of those bows and arrows, and it was very good that the Snow Army could repel the cavalry of the Night Army.
The snow army that still wanted to chase gradually stopped one by one, and in the face of those archers who were waiting for the battle, the angry snow army calmed down a little, and they all looked at the night army angrily from afar with their unwilling generals. Despite their frustration, they had to face the facts before them.
Then, under Xu Tianyi's order, the snow army turned around and retreated, with the anger on their faces still lingering.
At the same time, on the side of the night army, those archers still wanted to rush over, but the generals who led the troops obeyed Zhao Wu's orders and did not let their subordinates attack, all they had to do was to use the power of the archers to stop the pursuit of the snow army.
At this moment, the more than 20,000 soldiers of the cavalry battalion had withdrawn to a safe area, and they had slowed down their retreat when they rushed over the road that the archers had left for them.
After stopping, the commander of the cavalry battalion, who was the commander of more than 20,000 soldiers in the cavalry battalion, looked ashamed at the moment, remembering that when the meeting was held last night, Zhao Wu asked them to withdraw the troops in time. Originally, they should have gone back to ask for merit at this moment, but now they can only go back to ask for guilt, and the huge contrast makes this person who was greedy for merit a little unbearable.
Similar to the mood of the commander of the cavalry battalion, the generals who traveled with him were also a little uncomfortable, obviously their night army won the battle, but now the soldiers of the cavalry battalion are like having suffered a defeat, and they are all depressed, and they are not full of fighting spirit when they pursued the snow army before.
At this moment, facing the direction of the chariot, the cavalry battalion commander and the general all had a feeling that they couldn't raise their heads.
Shortly after the Snow Army withdrew, the infantry battalion master would return with the more than 10,000 archers and infantry who had come to support.
"General Zhao, the marshal ordered us to go back as soon as possible," the infantry battalion commander found Zhao Xu and conveyed Zhao Wu's order, without going to see the cavalry battalion commander who led the troops.
"Well, let's go back immediately," Zhao Wu glanced in the direction of the Snow Army's withdrawal, and there was no Snow Army in front of him, only the corpse of the Snow Army left on the ground. In fact, Zhao Xu also felt sorry that he couldn't kill all the Snow Army, but Zhao Xu obeyed Zhao Wu's military orders more.
Nodding at the infantry battalion commander, Zhao Xu directly transferred his horse back, and also didn't look at the cavalry battalion commander, and the generals brought by Zhao Xu were all cold-eyed at the moment. Before, they brought Zhao Wu's military orders, and the situation of the night army was very good, but the commander of the cavalry battalion insisted on not listening, resulting in even them in a predicament in the end.
Regardless of whether they usually have a good relationship with the cavalry battalion master, in short, they don't want to get close to the cavalry battalion commander now, and the cavalry battalion commander's direct subordinates are also somewhat dissatisfied with their superiors at the moment, and they want to put the responsibility for losing their great achievements on their commander.
