Chapter 280

On the battlefield, the commander is the soldier's will to fight or not to fight, once the commander dies, the soldier will naturally lose the meaning of existence, so the general commander personally participates in the war is a dangerous gamble.

Of course, from ancient times to the present, there are many commanders who dare to participate in the war in person, and those people have either made great achievements on the battlefield or have been ruined on the battlefield, after all, the enemy army will also have a commander. If Zhang Yuan insisted on doing so, he could only face the siege of many generals of the Night Army or Zhao Wu himself.

In normal times, Zhang Yuan and Zhao Wu may have the same strength, but now the situation of the two is completely different, Zhang Yuan also has to fight with Zhao Wu, unless he can crush Zhao Wu, otherwise Zhang Yuan is just sent to death in vain.

And Qingyuan joined the army and shouted, which also made Zhang Yuanyi react, there was still Zhao Wu on the city tower, Zhao Wu's image in Zhang Yuanyi's eyes was several levels higher than Zhao Xu, even if there was Qingyuan joining the army next to him, Zhang Yuan did not dare to risk himself, and Zhang Yuan could also think that the night army must have weapons to kill high-level martial arts cultivators, based on this alone, Zhang Yuanyi felt that it was best to be careful.

Putting down the weapon in his hand, Zhang Yuan also looked nervously at Qingyuan joining the army and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The green mountains are here, I'm not afraid of no firewood, I think we should withdraw our troops quickly!"

"But what about Xilanguan?"

"I can't hold it anymore, do you still want to annihilate the whole army?" Seeing that the snow army everywhere was about to be surrounded by the night army, Qing Yuan didn't want to stay here longer at the moment. In the eyes of Qingyuan's army, there are too many good generals in the night army, all of whom are generals who can take charge of themselves, on the other hand, the generals in the snow army are all incompetent and vulnerable. In contrast, Qingyuan still felt that it was best to leave as soon as possible when he joined the army.

"But?" Zhang Yuan didn't understand the current situation, but he was worried about what punishment he would receive when he went back, I was afraid that he would have no place in the Snow Country in the future, and once the enemy army was stationed in Xilan City, their Zhang family would have no place in the city.

The battle of Xilanguan cannot be said to be defeated too quickly, but the defeat was so complete that Zhang Yuan was never able to accept the facts in front of him.

didn't have time to think about what to do next, seeing the Snow Army cavalry fall one after another, Zhang Yuanyi was a little distracted at the moment. "Is this war?!" It was only then that Zhang Yuanyi gradually realized what war was.

Turning around and looking back, there were still 30,000 people in the Snow Army who had not participated in the battle, and most of them were archers, all of them looked panicked and had no fighting spirit. If they don't leave, it will be difficult for them to leave once the enemy cavalry rushes in. Prompted by the huge crisis, Zhang Yuan's forehead kept sweating.

"Withdraw," after hurriedly calculating, an order was given, and Zhang Yuan reluctantly threw the weapon in his hand on the chariot.

At the same time, there was a gong sound in the camp of the Snow Army, which was the signal for the withdrawal of troops. The shrill voice grew louder and louder, and soon reached all the Snow Army on several battlefields.

"Withdraw," among the snow army, from the general to the commander kept repeating the order to withdraw the troops, for fear that some of the snow troops around him would not be able to hear it, but in fact all the snow troops heard it clearly.

Under the leadership of those generals, countless snow armies rushed out of the gap, and then fled to the east without stopping, these snow armies no longer had any idea of fighting, and only wanted to escape from this place. The retreat of the Snow Army was also disorganized, and there was chaos everywhere on the battlefield.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Army finally chose to withdraw its troops, and the current situation made Zhao Wu, who wanted to completely smash the defenders of the Snow Army, frown.

"The archers are ready to attack," and after giving an order to the two generals standing next to him, Zhao Wu ordered the other generals next to him: "Pursue the Snow Army." ”

Several of the generals in the city were the same generals who led the siege of the city at the beginning, and after killing the generals of the Snow Army who were originally in the city, some of them continued to fight with the army, while others stayed on standby.

In order to prevent the commanders of the enemy army from participating in the war, Zhao Wu deliberately kept them by his side. Now that the enemy army has chosen to withdraw its troops, Zhao Wu wants them to convey instructions and not let the snow army withdraw easily.

Several generals took orders to go down and convey Zhao Wu's military orders to the generals who were fighting below, and countless night troops poured towards the fleeing snow army like a tide.

Not long after the generals left, Zhao Wu returned to the chariot under the city tower, and then ordered someone to drive the chariot directly into the city.

At present, the cavalry of the Night Country has completely broken the resistance of the Snow Army, and one by one they are rapidly killing the cavalry of the Snow Country. Soon after the two armies clashed, the Night Army no longer regarded the Snow Army as an enemy of equal strength, but was just a live target they used to vent their anger or practice their fighting methods, and the Night Army behaved extremely bravely.

The cavalry that had poured into the city had exceeded 30,000, and now Zhao Wu could completely drive the chariot into the city. The city gate is full of the figure of the Night Army, and it is rare to see the existence of the Snow Army.

The fleeing Snow Army gathered into several torrents and retreated away from the city gates, but the Night Army would not let them escape easily, and the Night Army would have to kill more enemy troops to be considered a big victory.

Under the command of those generals, the archers of the night army lined up in formation, and once the snow army and their night army were separated by some distance, they would attack with bows and arrows like Hong Sihai led the army to chase and kill Zhao Xu and them that night, and unlike that night, the night army would chase them to the end.

The situation is developing in the expected direction, and it can be said that the night army has actually won a great victory, and now all the night army has to do is to increase the number of enemy casualties.

As time passed, more and more of the Snow Army fell as they fled, and the embarrassed Snow Army did not look like soldiers at all in front of the ferocious Night Army, but like prey, and the Night Army would not be merciful to them.

In the crowd of melee, Lin Xuanzhong has been protecting the safety of the big bull and the big tiger, from the city to the city, even Lin Xuanzhong, who did not deliberately attack the snow army, his whole arm is a little weak at the moment, let alone the big bull brothers who have been killed from the beginning to the present.

What is surprising is that the two brothers seem to have inexhaustible strength, although their movements have slowed down, they have not stopped, from the beginning to the present, Lin Xuanzhong roughly estimated that the snow army that died in the hands of the three of them has already fifty. Most of the Snow Army were killed by the Big Niu Brothers, and only a very small number of Snow Army really died in the hands of Lin Xuanzhong, and it was not Lin Xuanzhong who deliberately wanted to kill them.

It is worth mentioning that from front to back, Lin Xuanzhong has been remembering that if it weren't for his help, Da Niu and Da Hu would have died more than a dozen times respectively. To put it simply, one life of the big bull and the big tiger can probably be exchanged for three lives of the other party.

Having said that, the strength of the Da Niu brothers is too poor, and their performance in the war is not outstanding, and the average combat exploits of the three can only be ranked in the middle. In addition, Lin Xuanzhong also found that many times they did not have the ability to kill, but they did not have the opportunity to kill, and the night army around them was almost rushing to kill.

On the other side, the performance of those snow armies was indeed unsightly, no matter what kind of strength they were facing, they all had a look of fear on their faces, as if they had already decided in their hearts that they couldn't beat each other. And the Snow Army is extremely disunited, many times, some people can obviously help the people next to them, but they are just afraid of affecting themselves and do not help others.

On the other hand, in terms of the night army, as long as someone is in danger, others are more concerned than they are in danger after seeing it, and then many people are saved because of this, Lin Xuanzhong saw with his own eyes that the big bull brothers saved a lot of night soldiers, I don't know what is going on with the snow army, and there is no fighting spirit at all in the face of the night army. Obviously has the ability to resist, but can only be killed.

There was some emotion, but Lin Xuanzhong was even more surprised by the unity of the night army, the night army seemed to be brothers, very united, the queue of the night army was very neat, and the attack and defense were orderly, so many casualties of soldiers could be avoided.

On the other hand, the Snow Army's side has been very chaotic, and some of the Snow Army died under the sudden attack in the chaos before they knew what was going on.

The hurried figure of the Snow Army looked like a lost dog, and some of the commanders were even more embarrassed when they were caught in the middle, sometimes falling to the ground with the ordinary Snow Army, and then getting up in a panic and continuing to run forward, only to escape. Some of the commanders were actually killed by the night army who caught up with them with spears when they fell.

A few second-order and third-order martial cultivators could easily kill a thousand commanders, and the fact in front of him seemed too incredible, because Lin Xuanzhong knew how big the gap between the sixth-order martial cultivators and those ordinary soldiers was.

Normally, it would be difficult for a hundred ordinary second- and third-order martial cultivators to surround and kill a sixth-order martial cultivator, not to mention that there were only a few people now, and the picture in front of him gave people a strong sense of impact, so much so that Lin Xuanzhong couldn't believe the picture he saw with his own eyes.

But in the end, by observing the clothes of those corpses, Lin Xuanzhong knew that he was not mistaken, maybe war is like this, and only by thinking like this can Lin Xuanzhong answer the doubts in his heart.

I don't know what words to use to describe how embarrassed the current Snow Army is, but in Lin Xuanzhong's eyes, the night army in front of him all looks like murderous demons, it seems that they only have the idea of killing people in their hearts, running with these people, Lin Xuanzhong feels very awkward, and even the back of the big bull brother in front of him has become unfamiliar.

On the other side, Lin Xuanzhong thought that he was fortunate to be wearing the clothes of the Night Army, otherwise if he faced so many fierce and vicious Night Army, I am afraid that he would die casually under the weapons of the Night Army like those dead Snow Army.
