Chapter 480

It didn't take long for the winged army, which had been densely packed together, to become sparse, and many of the living were still injured, looking even more miserable than the lost dogs. Even if the Night Army appeared in front of those people unarmed at this moment, they might not dare to attack, because the Night Army had completely destroyed their will.

As expected, under the attack of the night army, only some of the winged army escaped, and these people were clever, and when the night army was about to attack, they ran to the city to hide as soon as possible, avoiding the shooting of the archers above, and only survived in the end. Now the Night Army has finally stopped attacking, and the wings behind them are all dead. In any case, they did not have the courage to climb up to the city to attack the Night Army.

At this moment, they leaned against the city wall with frightened expressions, looking up weakly, afraid that the night army would drop something again. It is worth mentioning that some of those people were so frightened that they committed suicide while the night army was not killed. The Night Army has forced the Wing Army to this extent, and in terms of momentum, the two are no longer comparable.

Next to the chariot, Ruan Qiling and the general were pale, thinking that they could defeat the night army in one fell swoop, but they were shot by the night army at one time tens of thousands of foot soldiers, which made them lose one-third of their remaining troops at once. For the wing army, the defeat is decided, and at this moment, everyone from Ruan Qiling to ordinary generals is deeply aware of this.

Their strategy was not successfully implemented, but it caused them to lose so much at one time, and this failure hit the confidence of the generals even more.

"Marshal, let's withdraw our troops quickly," by this time, there was no need for the Wing Army to fight any further, and many generals had already understood this. Even if the shield corps, which they had designed to deal with the enemy cavalry, had not yet entered the battle, the situation at this time made it impossible for the winged army to continue the battle.

"Withdraw the troops," nodded, Ruan Qiling gave the final order, and the next time the whole person sat weakly on the handsome chair. Ruan Qiling's inner emotions at this moment are indescribable, the scene of tens of thousands of winged soldiers being shot by the night army just now is like that, which makes Ruan Qiling irresistible. The defeat was also so irresistible, and Ruan Qiling found that there was no possibility of reversing the defeat.

Now sitting on the chariot in defeat, Ruan Qiling deeply realized that he might not be suitable to be a commander, worthy of the royal family's attention. After the order to withdraw troops was issued, Ruan Qiling's will was greatly hit.

Unfortunately, the withdrawal of troops did not mean the end of the war between the two sides, and after a sharp and continuous gong sound was heard from the rear of the wing army, the night soldiers in the city, from generals to ordinary soldiers, shouted excitedly.

"The Wing Army is defeated. ”

"The Wing Army is defeated. ”

......

This kind of sound was connected, like a force condensed together, and it spread to the windless city, shaking people's hearts. In the Ling family's mansion, there is no need for anyone to report the news, and those representatives of the major families can hear the voice from Chengguan. Then no matter how much the royal family asked them to calm down, one by one they couldn't do it at all, and in fear, they took their leave.

One by one, they were afraid that they would be a little late, and the news that they were secretly involved with the Wing Army spread to the Night Army, and then the entire family was affected. The family representatives went so fast that they didn't even want to spend a little more time trying to prove the accuracy of the message.

But they can go, but the Ling family can't, the Ling family has lived in the windless city for generations, and the windless city is the foundation of the Ling family, so when those family representatives leave. Although the patriarch of the Ling family was already sixty years old and had experienced ups and downs, he was more panicked than ever at this moment, and even thought of whether to evacuate the clan quickly.

But their Ling family has a big business in the windless city, and the time to evacuate immediately is not enough at all, not to mention where they can evacuate. The victory of the Night Army naturally consolidated the dominance of the Night Kingdom in the Snow Country, and no one dared to resist them at that time. The more he thought about it, the more scared the Ling family patriarch became, and the more he naturally regretted having a relationship with the royal family. But now it was too late, and after the representatives of the other families left, the head of the Ling family had no choice but to take down the representatives of the royal family first in case of emergency.

If the method of evacuating the clan is not considered, the Ling family patriarch naturally has to consider other methods. It is true that there are hundreds of people in their Ling family, but they are afraid that only a few dozen people sent by the night army will be enough to destroy their Ling family. Therefore, for the Ling family, this moment is also the time of life and death for one of their families.

Putting aside the situation of the Ling family, when the night cavalry in the city heard the sound of gongs outside the city, and then heard the night troops on both sides of the city raising their arms and shouting that the wing army had been defeated, they were all in high spirits. Under the emotion, one huge force after another erupted from their bodies, constantly slaughtering the Wing Army.

On the other hand, on the side of the Wing Army, the sound of the gong behind them was undoubtedly telling them that there were more than 10,000 cavalry left, and after receiving instructions to retreat, they just wanted to turn around and leave. For them, the Night Army was too terrifying. Of course, it was still easy to get in and difficult to get out, and when the 10,000 cavalry ran out a third of them, the remaining two-thirds had already died under the iron cavalry of the night army.

"Kill," Zhang boldly raised his weapon and shouted loudly, calling out the desire to kill in the heart of the night army. At this point in the war, all the night soldiers are no longer afraid. Now Zhang Daring wants to take them out to kill, and the target is the shield soldiers of the Wing Army. Only when the shield soldiers of the Wing Army are defeated and the army is defeated, Zhang Daring will really be relieved this time.

"Kill," the night army was extremely strong, even in the rear of the army, Zhao Xu was deeply affected at the moment, and he couldn't stop thinking in his heart that it would be difficult to stop the cavalry now.

Fortunately, at this moment, the enemy army has been beaten without fighting spirit, and it is when they are pursuing, Zhao Xu naturally wants to destroy the enemy's strength in one fell swoop, so that the enemy army will not be able to recover in a short time.

Now the soldiers in the city don't have much spare strength, and it is completely enough to be pursued by the cavalry battalion, of course, Zhao Xu will not let Zhang Daring chase all the time, so soon Zhao Xu brought Zhang Yitong, another commander of the cavalry battalion, with a military order, "When the wing army stops retreating and wants to counterattack, you must bring all the cavalry back." ”

With the experience of Zhang Yitong, Zhao Xu thought that Zhang Daring would not dare to disobey the military order this time. And after Zhang Daring chased out, he had no scruples after learning that the archers of the Wing Army had no bows and arrows to use. As a result, they chased for more than ten miles, and it was not until the wing army was extremely sad and angry that they resisted together, and Zhang Daring withdrew his troops under the persuasion of Zhang Yitong.

Today's battle is enough to achieve his prestige, Zhang Daring does not want to give up his achievements because of impulse, not to mention that it was Zhang Yitong who came to persuade him to withdraw from the army.

After Zhang Daring ordered the withdrawal of troops, more than 30,000 cavalry turned around and returned to Chengguan in a blink of an eye.

On the other side, when the wing army was about to counterattack, Zhang Daring chose to retreat, and those wing troops who lost their armor and failed to form an army realized that the enemy army actually had no strength to chase them anymore, but they still did not dare to go back and kill, so they could only watch the night army leave.

During Zhang Daring's pursuit of the Wing Army, Zhao Xu issued several military orders in succession, and all the five miles of Chengguan were under martial law, and any idle people were not allowed to approach half a step, otherwise they would be killed on the spot. For this reason, Zhao Xu deliberately pulled out thousands of soldiers who were still in good condition from the existing soldiers, and carried hundreds of golden-scale bows to guard around the city pass.

At the same time, all the wounded soldiers gathered together and lined up for treatment according to their injuries, and Zhao Xu transferred 10,000 soldiers who still had combat strength to guard outside the city to prevent the wing army from chasing back. In the end, the logistics staff selected the wounded horses from the battlefield to slaughter, and today Zhao Xu wanted to reward the three armies.

The process of cleaning up the battlefield was already familiar to the night army, so Zhao Xu's several military orders were executed extremely smoothly. After Zhang Daring and Zhang Yitong returned with the cavalry, Zhao Xu asked all the soldiers to rest in the designated place, and at the same time arranged several generals to be responsible for counting the casualties. In today's battle, the night army did win a complete victory, but in the case of fewer enemies, the casualties were very large, and Zhao Xu needed to have a number.

After arranging all the matters, Zhao Xu and several generals returned to the Chinese army's big tent to discuss various matters after the war. The first thing to do is to get the news of the victory to Zephyr and keep it stable there. The second thing is that the generals congratulated Zhao Xu together. Today's battle is Zhao Xu's battle of being the commander, and several main generals know that when the news of the victory reaches the night capital, the royal family will definitely give Zhao Xu a title as soon as possible, and Zhao Xu's military rank will change from general to generalissimo, and they will also be rewarded.

According to the merits, Zhang Daring's performance this time was particularly prominent, so after the generals congratulated Zhao Xu, they turned their heads to congratulate Zhang Daring, who was the same commander.

"General Zhang, extremely brave, defeated countless enemies, the person who won the greatest feats in this battle is General Zhang. ”

"General Zhang is a one-man man, and he can't open it, and in today's battle, General Zhang's prestige must be famous for thousands of miles. Fang Quyin and the other three main generals praised Zhang boldly with some compliments.

In fact, they are right, the polemic merit is indeed Zhang Daring's greatest credit. Since Zhang Daring blocked the city gate with cavalry, he has not allowed the enemy to break through the defense line, and almost wiped out the entire cavalry battalion of the wing army, ensuring that the infantry and shield soldiers of the wing army could not enter the city, and ensuring the safety of the rear of the night army on both sides of the city defense.

"General Fang, you don't have to have such a high reputation for Zhang, today's victory over the Wing Army is all due to everyone's joint efforts, not the credit of Zhang Mou," Zhang Daring is a real person, at this moment Zhang Daring naturally knows how many great feats he has in this battle, but Zhang Daring feels that the credit of other generals is also not small.

"In today's battle, there are generals who have worked hard, and Zhao must report the situation truthfully, so that the king can commend you and reward you fairly," Seeing that several generals were so happy, Zhao Xu was also in a good mood at the moment.

"Thank you, General," the five generals had already regarded Zhao Xu as a marshal in their hearts, and they naturally thanked him at this moment.

Next, Zhao Xu briefly discussed some things with the five of them and then let a few people leave. After a few people left, Zhao Xu was busy repairing two letters, making his promise to the generals.

The letter to the West Wind City only needs to be written about the victory and defeat, and it needs to be more specific until the night, during which Zhao Xu also has to figure out the number of casualties on his side.
