Chapter 243

Now Xu Tianyi is not worried about the many foot soldiers, but the cavalry that has penetrated deep into the enemy area, and nearly 10,000 cavalry are the main force of their snow army. If all those cavalry die in the city, then their plans to attack the Night Kingdom will all change. Xu Tianyi couldn't face that result, but he was powerless to change the facts in front of him.

Now that the snow army is gone, the chaos cannot be stopped, even if he uses force against his own people to forcibly calm down many soldiers, it will only backfire in the end, Xu Tianyi can only have an attitude of going with the flow.

There was chaos in the city, all the snow army was busy escaping, and the snow army on the city tower was affected and had no will to continue to fight against the night army.

Some of them were only halfway down when the ladder was moved away by the people below, who clung to the ladder and were put down, while others were killed by the night army chasing after them while they were busy looking for the ladder. The generals of the Snow Army above saw that their subordinates had no intention of fighting, and only cared about escaping, no matter how useless they were, at first they would kill a few fleeing Snow Army to deter others.

At first, it worked a little, but after more and more snow troops were out of their control, the sound of gongs kept coming from outside the city, and they simply ignored the ordinary soldiers in the city. After blocking an attack from the enemy, those Snow Army generals jumped directly from the city, and the height of seven or eight meters was nothing to the sixth-order martial cultivators and seventh-order martial cultivators.

As long as it's not unlucky enough to jump onto a vertical weapon, no accident will happen. Even the generals fled from the road, and the snow army that was still resisting had no fighting spirit, and some of the snow army were forced to simply learn from their generals to jump from the city.

There is a high chance that the person who jumps below or the corpse will not be killed, and there are many accidents that may occur when jumping to other positions, after all, they are just ordinary soldiers.

Contrary to the performance of the Snow Army, the night army above and below the city is becoming more and more courageous, and when the fighting spirit is high, they are fighting as the victorious side. At this moment, in fact, the battle between the two armies is nearing the end, and it will not be long before the night army will win a great victory.

As the Snow Army continued to cross the river and escape, a human head suddenly appeared on the surface of the river, and then the weapons in their hands came out of the water, they were the generals of the Night Army who had been waiting for the opportunity and the thousands of soldiers who had destroyed the cloud ladder before.

Although they had been hiding in a safe area before, they were still extremely uncomfortable in the river, and each one was completely supported by their will. Now according to Zhao Wu's words, let some Snow Army over, and then they will do it again. As for when to do it, Zhao Wu gave the decision to those night army generals lurking in the river.

As for the Night Army generals, the time they had been waiting for had come to cut down the ladders on both sides of the river and kill the Night Army who had fallen into the water. After the night army presumably lurked in the corresponding position, thousands of night soldiers moved one after another.

One by one, the weapons were waved, and the wooden ladders were cut one after another, and for a moment, the sound of the wood breaking was the same as the sound of the soldiers falling into the water. When those snow armies screamed, what awaited those overboard snow armies was the sharp weapon of the night army in the water.

While those people panicked and threw themselves on the water to surface, the Night Army slashed at each other, killing people with similar strength in the water as easily as chopping vegetables. Blood was pouring out on the surface of the water, and the people on the riverbank could not distinguish between friend and foe.

When Xu Tianyi and several generals discovered this sudden situation, their hearts sank one by one. Then, Xu Tianyi hurriedly ordered those archers to shoot arrows at the river. However, many archers could not distinguish their targets, they did not even have arrows, and many of them used up the arrows they had brought with them because of the indiscriminate shooting before.

Many archers now stand on the bank of the river with a curved bow, and have nowhere to go, and eventually have to pull up their own soldiers near the bank. Without any hindrance, it can be said that the night army in the water at this moment is more painful than the night army in the city.

The screams in the river turned into wails, and the Snowmen were in danger, and the soldiers who had not participated in the battle all stayed in place and did not dare to move.

Time passed little by little, and the defenders in the city finally fought out of the city gate, and under the command of Zhao Xu, the battle line was stretched and quickly spread to both sides of the city gate. There was no suspense in this battle, and the night army continued to press forward.

Some of the snow soldiers simply stepped on the bodies floating in the river and those who were still struggling in the water because they had no ladders to use, and some of them burst out with great strength.

Originally, there were broken ladder joints in the water, and there were so many floating corpses, but as a result, many snow soldiers really managed to run over, and of course, many people also fell into the water because of this. It's just that after this method spread, more and more snow troops began to try, although the people in front of them have little chance of success, but the people behind are paved by the people in front, and the chances of success across the river are getting bigger and bigger.

As the night army continued to advance under the battle line, the distance of thirty meters from the river bank of the city gate was occupied by more and more night troops, leaving less and less time for the snow army that had not yet crossed the river.

The night army had to kill a person almost every half step forward, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was already full of corpses, and by the time the night army pressed only a few meters away from the river bank, there was no enemy standing in front of them, only a corpse in the river under the fire and the weak movement of the drowning snow army.

The corpses floated together in the river, connecting the opposite side of the riverbank, and the night army, who had already killed the red-eyed, wanted to rush over the corpse again, but at the critical moment, Zhao Xu raised his sword and shouted, "The whole army stops." The thunderous sound instantly came into the ears of every night army, and the powerful and loud voice made many night soldiers stop immediately.

After all the night soldiers reacted, the generals in the army quickly moved closer to Zhao Xu's side, and their tired faces were full of smiles, and the joy of winning made them extremely excited.

After a while, all the night soldiers stopped and waited for them Zhao Xu to give instructions. A pair of eyes flashed in the darkness, Zhao Xu looked straight at the other side, looking at Xu Tianyi, the marshal of the Snow Army.

Catching up with Zhao Xu's domineering gaze, Xu Tianyi could barely keep standing.

"Today's hatred, he will let you repay the night country tenfold one day. Leaving a word, Xu Tianyi flicked his sleeves and immediately turned around and returned to the chariot. didn't look at the thousands of soldiers who fled nearby, Xu Tianyi was extremely unhappy in his heart at the moment.

"Withdraw," a military order went down, the chariot turned around, the snow army in the rear spontaneously gave way to a road, and the snow country army retreated directly.

"Accompany you to the end," when Xu Tianyi turned around, Zhao Xu, who was on the other side of the riverbank, decisively put the Pu knife on his chest.

"General, should we chase?" A general next to Zhao Xu saw that the Xue Army was demoralized and the formation was scattered, so he immediately made a proposal.

"No," Zhao Xu shook his head, and then explained: "The main force of the Snow Army is still there, and the general won't let us chase it." In fact, Zhao Xu also wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but he kept thinking about Zhao Wu's explanation in his mind, "Poor Kou Mo chase".

One sentence calmed Zhao Xu down, and Zhao Xu gradually found that they couldn't actually chase them. There are corpses floating on the surface of the river, and it is okay to run over in twos and threes, but it is absolutely impossible for the whole army to pass.

"General, what to do with the enemy troops who are still alive in the water?"

"Those are our own people," Zhao Xu shouted at the river as he spoke, "General Han, General Shi, you all come out." ”

Zhao Xu shouted, and a human head appeared on the surface of the water one after another, and those were their own people. Only now did some of the generals next to Zhao Xu think that their night army had set up an ambush in the water, and they really didn't know anything about this matter in advance.

"Go and have someone help them all up," Zhao Xu gave a simple order, and then said to the generals behind him: "It is the general's strategy to ambush the soldiers in the water and destroy the drawbridge to cross the river ladder with the enemy. ”

"Yes," At this moment, several generals gradually understood what was going on, it turned out that they were able to defeat the enemy army all thanks to Zhao Wu's strategy, and subconsciously everyone admired Zhao Wu even more.

After understanding the crux of the matter, several people were ordered to convey Zhao Xu's instructions, and many soldiers with long weapons walked to the river and pulled up the ambush soldiers in the water.

Except for the seven generals who did not die, the remaining 1,000 soldiers died in the battle, more than 200 of them, and some of those ambush soldiers who died died under the attack of the Snow Army, and some of them choked to death in the water. At that time, the scene was too chaotic, and there were too many snow troops who fell into the water, and they were trampled to the bottom, and as a result, some people were directly suffocated underwater, but fortunately, there were more alive than dead.

After Zhao Xu asked them to come up, they dragged their tired bodies up from the water one by one, covered in blood, and those who came to help couldn't recognize their identities at all. But the hideous way those people laughed reassured many of the night soldiers.

I have to say that that one person even had blood in his mouth when he was smiling, whether it was theirs or not, anyway, the eight hundred ambush soldiers who survived were really fighting bloody battles before. The results of their 1,000 men were even more than the tens of thousands of the Snow Army that night, and of course the real key was that their performance in this battle directly determined the outcome of the battle.

Despite their embarrassment, the look of pride on their faces was hard to hide, even for ordinary soldiers, let alone the seven generals in the water.

As the generals of the defending army, their merits this time are higher than Zhao Xu's, and at this moment, the seven of them are as arrogant as Zhao Xu. After many night soldiers consciously handed them the clothes torn off from their bodies, the seven of them wiped the dirty blood on their bodies one after another, and then strode towards Zhao Xu at the same time.
