Chapter 573: The two armies are fighting

"I don't think it's right, according to what General Lin said, the Wing Army must have a great morale victory now, if we go over from the side now, the Wing Army can divide enough troops to stop us, and it will be difficult to play a role at that time. ”

"General Zhou means to continue the previous plan?"

"Exactly, only by waiting for the main force of the Wing Army to disperse can we really catch them off guard from the rear of the Wing Army. ”

"General Lin has already said that the situation is urgent, and now our army has a tendency to be defeated, we can guess. If we can't go to the aid in time, if we let the enemy defeat the main force of our army, won't we be powerless to go back to heaven when we go again?"

Several generals put forward their opinions on the battle one after another, and Lin Xuanzhong not only felt that what everyone said was reasonable, but also was inspired to a certain extent, but he couldn't tell the truth for a while.

"General Lin, what do you think?" When Lin Xuanzhong had just been inspired by other generals and had some ideas, Yan Nantian looked at him directly.

"The situation is indeed very unfavorable to our army, but the last general still agrees with General Zhou's proposal not to go over immediately, so as not to be intercepted by the wing army, or wait for the wing army to disperse before attacking from behind," meeting Yan Nantian's gaze, Lin Xuanzhong was nervous for a while, but because of this, he cleared his thoughts. So, Lin Xuanzhong directly said his thoughts.

"What General Lin said makes sense, now I am still busy dealing with the problem of those fierce birds, the main force of the enemy army has just passed, and it can be said that the situation is completely under the control of the enemy army. If we pass now, the enemy is likely to divide up his forces to stop us. In case the reinforcements are surrounded by enemy troops at that time, it will only add chaos to the marshal," the person who spoke was General Zhou, who had previously expressed his intention to continue, and after Lin Xuanzhong expressed his opinion, this person even concluded that it was the best plan to go around the rear.

"What General Lin and General Zhou said makes sense, you don't have to fight anymore, our army and others continue to move forward," Yan Nantian nodded, and finally accepted Lin Xuanzhong's and General Zhou's suggestions. The current situation on the battlefield is indeed unfavorable to the night army, but they are in a mess, and they must start from the most beneficial aspect for their own side, otherwise it is very likely that nothing will be achieved.

After Yan Nantian made a decision, those generals who still had doubts no longer had other ideas, and the army continued to advance in the diagonal rear position of the battlefield.

By this time, on the other side of the battlefield, the threat of winged birds in the sky had been basically cleared, and only a few were about to fly away. However, the surprise attack of the winged bird just now almost affected the 100,000 troops of the night army, and only 60,000 archers who had been standing still were out of the way, and those 100,000 people suffered a surprise attack, and the number of dead directly exceeded 20,000, as well as a large number of wounded soldiers, as for the rest most of them were frightened new troops.

"Kill," the Wing Army erupted in bursts of shocking shouts and kills, and the main force of the Wing Army, which had been waiting for a long time, finally joined the battlefield under Ruan Qiling's order just now, and the target was the Night Army who was still in the chaotic area.

Prior to this, Zhang Daring once led his troops to charge forward, hoping to break out of a way out, but unfortunately the wing army had to be prepared. When Zhang Daring was desperate and forcibly led his troops forward, a large number of winged soldiers retreated, followed by rows of shield soldiers stepped forward. not only blocked Zhang Daring's several charges, but also killed many cavalry, and finally forced to retreat with the cavalry.

It's a pity that the area where Zhang Dang can withdraw is not large, so he has always been in a predicament. Trapped in the chaos for a long time, the cavalry with the strongest combat power had no momentum at all, and many cavalrymen fled for their lives during the period, and even left their horses behind.

In the past period of time, for many night soldiers, it was extremely difficult for them to save their lives, but their combat power could not be saved, just like when Zhao Wu flooded the army of Tianyu Kingdom, there were many night soldiers who even lost their weapons in panic.

Now that the main force of the wing army is coming, Zhang Dada, who is at the front, is shocked and hurriedly organizes personnel to resist, but unfortunately some of the generals behind him have been scattered and cannot be gathered in a short time, and even ordinary soldiers are difficult to organize. In order to really start a war with the wing army, Zhang Daring had to bring the remaining cavalry to a safe area first, and the only way was to continue to evacuate on both sides.

While Zhang Daring was busy dealing with the attack of the wing army, Zhao Xu was there. Not long after the threat of the winged bird was solved, there was still a panic ahead, and now the main force of the winged army rushed over, Zhao Xu realized that the night army was no longer able to return to the sky, and he couldn't help but retreat. But before the order was given, Zhu Zizai suddenly appeared and told Zhao Xu that Yan Nantian had rushed to the rear of the wing army with an army.

"Good, good, good," Zhao Xu said three good words in a row, and the sadness on his face suddenly dissipated. I thought that Yan Nantian was not doing well and could not bring the army from the rear of the wing army in time, but now he received the relevant news brought by Zhu Zizai. For Zhao Xu, this was a completely unexpected surprise. In an instant, Zhao Xu saw the hope of the night army turning defeat into victory.

"General Fang, you let the archers cover on both flanks to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the chaos to attack our army with archers. ”

"General Liu, you go and inform General Zhang that reinforcements will arrive soon, and let them continue to fight. ”

"General Zhao, you go and inform General Li that reinforcements have arrived, be sure to let him stabilize his position, and then bring all the infantry out of the sea of fire as soon as possible and confront the enemy from both sides. ”

There happened to be a few generals standing next to him who came to report the military situation, and after deciding to continue the battle, Zhao Xu issued several military orders one after another, putting his hopes on 30,000 reinforcements. As long as Yan Nantian can take 30,000 soldiers to attack the wing army by surprise from the rear of the battlefield, the wing army will definitely be in chaos at the critical moment. The only battle that the Wing Army went through was the defeat in Windless City, and although the morale was very strong now, Zhao Xu knew that the Wing Army still didn't have much combat power in essence.

The only hope that Zhao Xu had now was that Ruan Qiling would not expect that the reinforcements of the Night Army were outflanked from their rear, not in the rear of the Night Army. It's a pity that it was 30,000 infantry, if it was replaced by 30,000 cavalry, once the plan of flanking the front and rear was successfully implemented, the night army could collapse the combat power of the wing army in one fell swoop.

In fact, before sending out the troops, Ruan Qiling not only knew that the Night Army had 30,000 reinforcements stationed in Beast Ridge City, but also considered how to deal with those 30,000 reinforcements. According to Ruan Qiling's conjecture, when the main force of the Wing Army and the Night Army started a war, 30,000 reinforcements could appear at any time. However, after the war between the two armies, according to the current situation, Ruan Qiling felt that the reinforcements of the night army should have come from the rear of the night army, not from the side of the battlefield, otherwise when the night army had achieved a great advantage before, 30,000 reinforcements would have already joined the battlefield.

Regardless of whether Ruan Qiling's idea is right or not, now on the side of the night army, Zhang Daring and Li Jianran have received the news of the arrival of reinforcements, and some sergeants below have also begun to shout, "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived." "The shouts are getting louder and louder, and it's exactly this way that the people from above are trying to motivate.

After receiving the order from Zhao Xu to continue fighting, Zhang Daring, who was covered in black armor, roared angrily and launched an attack on the wing army as soon as possible. Affected by Zhang Daring's bravery, several cavalry battalion generals not far away shouted emotionally, "Everyone must not retreat, and go all out to meet the enemy." ”

When the main force of the wing army rushed over, a roar erupted in front of the night army, and as long as the general above and the ordinary soldiers below had been suppressing their emotions, they all couldn't help shouting at this moment, "Kill." "Although the number is small, the momentum is not inferior to that of the wing army.

Those night soldiers who wanted to fight back with all their might were basically veterans, and they were all as angry as their main generals at the moment, and it can be said that the horror caused to them by the way the winged army attacked from high altitude before was all turned into anger by them. Contrary to those veterans, most of the new troops in the array had already been frightened by the attack of the winged birds just now, and now that the main force of the winged army had come, they were even more frightened.

In particular, those soldiers who lost their weapons in order to avoid the attack from above, in a panic, searched for weapons one by one, resulting in chaos in some places, and even some newly appointed night army officers were busy looking for their weapons. Fear is still spreading, and although there are generals in front shouting for battle, there are actually many people who are still in shock.

The only advantage is that most of the officers of the Night Army are veterans, and they will fight back against the Wing Army exactly as they are commanded from above, and they will guide the frightened and overwhelmed recruits to slowly return to their normal state.

Jingling, the two armies launched a fierce confrontation, probably not far apart, Ruan Qiling did not use archers, of course, he also did not give the night army archers a chance to attack.

After the two armies were completely killed together, the cavalry in front bore the brunt, and some of them had just reacted from the previous fright, and died directly at the hands of the wing army before they were ready to fight. With the help of shield soldiers, the wings advanced at a very rapid pace. The night army that stood in front was killed by them one by one, and neither the cavalry nor the infantry had the power to parry.

The wing army's offensive was extremely surging, killing the night troops who were scattered and unable to gather together in time, and pushed the battle line forward more than ten meters in a blink of an eye. In that area of more than ten meters, the number of the original wing army had already occupied an absolute advantage, and each of them showed that they were fighting with one as ten, so that the situation was completely one-sided.

The situation was urgent, there was no other way, before the reinforcements arrived, Zhao Xu could only let those archers join the battle from the front of the battlefield to stabilize the situation for the night army.

The 30,000 archers have not been directly impacted by the wing army, and now Zhao Xu gave instructions to participate in the battle, Fang Quyin ordered the attack as soon as possible, and one by one the archers with bows and arrows on their backs and short weapons rushed directly to the front from both sides, and fought with the wing army that was trying to surround the night army from both sides.

The addition of 30,000 archers only temporarily stabilized the situation in front of the battle line, so that the night army would not be defeated by the wing army too quickly, and of course, it also bought time for those night troops who were originally in the flames of war, so that they could get out of the chaotic area as soon as possible.
