Chapter 729: Fierce Battle

First, the Flying Army is good at shooting, as long as they determine how far away the Night Army archers are, they can launch accurate attacks, and second, the Yang Army uses a kind of self-launched bow and crossbow, which not only saves manpower, but also is easy to use. As a result, the night archers in the area where the enemy counterattack was encountered had to retreat to a safe area to make another plan.

It didn't take long for the archers on both sides to stop attacking and instead switch to short weapons and approach the camp directly, attacking the coalition forces in an outflanking manner. Because the coalition forces have been entangled by ferocious beasts, those archers can easily fight into the melee area, cooperate with the infantry attacking from the north, and the cavalry resisting the retreat of the coalition forces in the south, and for a while, the coalition camp is surrounded by shouts of killing.

The thunderous sound further demoralized the Coalition forces in the chaos, and many of the Coalition personnel became less and less motivated by several attacks from the Beasts or the Night Army. Although they knew very well that the Night Army did not have many troops, they did not know what the situation of their own side was, especially those in the marginal areas, because there were too few companions around, and under the impact of the Night Army, one by one they quickly fell into fear.

Due to the panic in their hearts, their strength was greatly reduced, so that not only could they not deal with the fierce beasts in front of them, but they could not stop the night army that was even more terrifying than the fierce beasts. The wind and snow are getting heavier, and the situation of those coalition forces is becoming more and more dire. For the current coalition forces, the situation is as bad as the weather.

Unable to resist the coalition forces, the 70,000 foot soldiers of the night army continued to move forward, leaving only corpses in their passes. Ahead of them, there are coalition forces still fighting against the few remaining beasts.

In the face of hundreds of thousands of troops, after the original tens of thousands of fierce beasts were blocked by strong resistance, only some powerful high-level fierce beasts were still alive. Speaking of which, it was the thousands of high-level fierce beasts among the tens of thousands of fierce beasts that dealt the greatest blow to the coalition forces.

Unlike the generals of the coalition army, who fought and had to prevent their own soldiers from being injured by mistake, they rushed and killed with impunity, sometimes sparing other beasts. In the past, some soldiers were trampled to death by those huge beasts. If you count it, people who may have been trampled to death by ferocious beasts accounted for half of the damage caused by the coalition forces.

In the chaos, because many places were on fire, many soldiers were burned to death, and now tens of thousands of fierce beasts have been killed, and the coalition army has paid a heavy price for this, counting at least 200,000 soldiers who have lost their combat power because of fierce beasts. At present, the remaining 300,000 officers and men are under the leadership of two commanders, and the pace of the two sides is not the same, which is not conducive to stabilizing the situation at all.

After some time, when the beast's numbers dwindled again, the two marshals disagreed, one wanting to unite forces to launch a Jedi counterattack, and the other wanting to continue withdrawing.

"Marshal Tie, the problem of the fierce beast is about to be solved, and the night army has also attacked, you and I might as well integrate our forces and fight to the death with the night army as soon as possible," has not yet faced the night army, and his own side has already lost so many soldiers, although he is a little panicked, Shi Jiangchuan now has more anger in his heart. With a clear understanding of the strength of the night army, Shi Jiangchuan just wanted to fight with the night army.

"The soldiers on both sides of us have been hit one after another, and now we don't have any morale," sighed bitterly, and Tie Xin continued: "Although you and I still have more than 300,000 troops combined, the problem of beasts has not been completely solved, and it will take time to integrate the military strength. ”

"I don't know what Marshal Tie means?" Tie Xin's two paragraphs were all reasons to avoid war, and because of his calm tone, Shi Jiangchuan's anger calmed down a little.

"We still have more than 300,000 troops, relative to the enemy, the number of people is still superior, today the enemy's morale is strong, we might as well temporarily avoid the enemy's front and withdraw as soon as possible, and then make plans. ”

"Didn't Marshal Tie think about the issue of grain, grass and ordnance?"

"When we retreat to the cities in the south of the Wing Country, those places will definitely help us solve the problem of food and grass. When the time comes, we can still join forces with the wing army and make plans again. ”

"Could it be that Marshal Tie wants to loot those cities?" I don't know what Tie Xin is thinking at the moment, but Shi Jiangchuan feels that Tie Xin's idea is not feasible, rather than retreating to a place more than a hundred miles away, it is better to fight to the death with the night army now, so Shi Jiangchuan continued to ask, "With our previous attitude towards the royal family of the Wing Kingdom, would the Wing Emperor still be willing to join forces with us?"

"Don't worry about the attitude of the Wing Emperor, Marshal Shi should know that the Wing Country people in those cities have a deep hatred for the Night Army, and they are already facing us. Besides, you also know that there were many people from the Wing Kingdom who came to us before, as long as we go to those places to preach the despicability of the Night Army, we will definitely be able to attract more people to hate the enemy," After answering Shi Jiangchuan's previous question, Tie Xin continued: "As long as the Wing Emperor does not want the Wing Kingdom to fall, he will definitely join forces with us, and then wait for him to recruit some more troops, and then the strength of our three parties will definitely greatly exceed that of the Night Army." ”

Tie Xin's analysis is very ridiculous, but if he really chooses to withdraw from the army, there is some truth, under Tie Xin's calm tone, Shi Jiangchuan has less and less courage to insist on the idea of launching a counterattack against the night army.

"Then what about our grain and grass?" After his mind was a little iron-hearted, Shi Jiangchuan mentioned the issue of grain and grass again, they had too much grain and grass, and it was too worthless to leave it to the night army.

"Since you can't take it away, let's burn it directly, you can't let the night army pick it up," Tie Xin's tone was very decisive, as if he had already thought of what to do with those grains and grass.

Under Tiexin's point of view that he insisted on withdrawing troops, Shi Jiangchuan seemed to see the hope of withdrawing troops, but there were always some problems in his heart. If those cities are unwilling or do not have food and grass for them, then they will still have to loot, which will only chill the people of the Winged Country. In addition, the Wing Emperor may not cooperate with them easily, after all, they have been in the Wing Country for so long and have never visited the Wing Emperor.

Now contact the Wing Emperor with the attitude of asking for help, but I am afraid that the Wing Emperor may not cooperate with them, after all, the Wing Emperor will be even more afraid of the Night Army after the war today.

"Marshal Shi, you don't have to worry too much, while the night army has not completely surrounded us now, we should break through from the rear as soon as possible. Only tens of thousands of cavalry from the Night Kingdom were standing in front of us, and there were many new troops among them, and their troops were weak. As long as we rush out in one fell swoop, we can break through smoothly," just like the siege that day, Tie Xin's thoughts were very calm at the moment, and he had thought of almost every detail.

"Without further ado, you and I should act as soon as possible," nodded, unable to refute Tie Xin's remarks, Shi Jiangchuan had no choice but to give up his battle plan, but unfortunately it was because of this that they lost the second chance to change the situation. If the two commanders can choose to counterattack with the same opinion and use their respective strengths, with their remaining forces, even if they can't defeat the Night Army, they will not lose to the Night Army in the end, at most they will lose both.

It's better to lose both than to lose one of them, and if they really fight, the night army may not fight them to the end. Once the Night Army chooses to withdraw, they may even retake the camp. However, they have now chosen to withdraw their troops, and such an order will only demoralize the morale of the originally demoralized soldiers. Facing the Night Army in the current situation would be even more disadvantageous to them, but neither commander seemed to have considered the big picture. Since the night army had been planning for today's battle for many days, how could they let them evacuate so easily.

As soon as the two commanders came to an agreement, their vanguard met the Night Nation cavalry who were in front of them. Without waiting for the coalition forces to attack, Zhang Daring gave an order, and 60,000 cavalry rushed directly to the two scattered cavalry.

"Jingle," and soon the cavalry of both sides fought fiercely. With the strength of the horses, the night army kept assassinating the coalition forces under the horses, and as soon as the two sides fought, the battle line moved towards the coalition side.

"Hold your ground. ”

"Don't panic. ”

The night army's round of rushing and killing caused a great morale blow to the coalition army, seeing that their own soldiers could not withstand the impact of the other party, those coalition generals could only keep shouting, hoping that the soldiers below could behave better, but unfortunately this was their hope after all.

Because there are too many troops on the coalition side, it is a key to block the coalition army's breakthrough, so unlike other positions where recruits serve as the main force of operations, in the rear battlefield, the entire front of the front is the elite cavalry of the night army. Those battle-hardened soldiers were extremely brave in the face of panicked opponents, and almost every time they could take a human life.

In the face of such a strong night country cavalry, even the flying army of the coalition army could not resist even the good cavalry, let alone the Yang army, under the strong charge of the night army, the coalition army continued to fall off the horse, and the screams on the long front came and went. It was just a meeting, and there were already thousands of coalition troops who died under the charge of the Night Army.

After crushing the forward line of the coalition army, the night army continued to rush inside, and under the leadership of the generals, it was like countless sharp swords to pierce the ranks of the coalition army. Those night elites were not afraid to go deep alone, because they knew that their companions in the rear would soon follow and would not let them get into danger. In addition, the enemy army is not their opponent at all, and they do not need to be afraid of the enemy army. Under the two brave wills, each of the night soldiers behaved extremely bravely.

The front continued to advance, and soon the game was reported to the two coalition commanders. After receiving the news, Shi Jiangchuan, who originally did not plan to withdraw the army, saw that it was difficult for their soldiers to even break through the defense of the night army, so now they had to focus on breaking through the siege, and had no other ideas.

In Shi Jiangchuan's view, if they could not break through the weak strength of the night army with their strength several times that of the night army, then the large-scale counterattack was destined to be unsuccessful, so Shi Jiangchuan's will had changed dramatically.

On the other side, Tie Xin, who originally planned to withdraw the army, couldn't help but turn pale after receiving the news that he could not defeat the night army, and then directly ordered to break out at all costs.
