Chapter Twenty-Seven: Great Victory, Betrayal
After Xiao Bingyi and Zhao Yingkong staggered, the left shield and the right sword rushed to kill for a while, and when he looked back in his busy schedule, his nose was almost out of breath. After the flood broke the array with the rolling logs, the five hundred horse-mluk heavy knights sent to him by Zhang Jie simply twisted their horses and returned, without rushing forward with them at all......
"Zhang Jie, I'll be your grandmother. The whole army withdrew ...... me."
"Sue Sakura to let Xiao Bingyi and his subordinates go out of battle, inform Huang Lilin to lead the cavalry to follow the charge, and inform Ye Shouxuan how many spells to cast, if you don't use it, you won't have a chance." Halfway up the hill in the military tent, Zhu Peng watched the battle below with great and detailed observation. Then, after Zhao Yingkong released Xiao Bingyi and led the few remaining remnants of the army to leave, he gave the order for the whole army to charge...... This victory is a certainty.
"So sure?"
"Of course, in fact, the difference in strength between the enemy and us is not large. Although Zhang Jie's command is six times larger than our army, the elite Cheng DΓΉ is inferior, the command communication is inferior, and the assistance of the war method is lacking, but because our army is weak, we have the heart of arrogance, and we want to crush us to death one by one if we don't want to take the slightest risk. I suspect that when he sent Xiao Bingyi to fight, he had the intention of cutting the feudal domain in his heart...... A sheep cannot lead a tiger to victory, but a tiger can still lead a flock of sheep to victory. β
After Zhan Lan closed his eyes and connected his spirit to convey Zhu Peng's order, he asked him a little uneasily, but what he got was the words of the man in front of him, and Zhu Peng's domineering spirit at that moment was exposed, which shocked Zhu Wen beside him like water, and his eyes were full of brilliance. After a while, she bowed her head slightly, knelt on Zhu Peng's side and made a drink, but no one knew what she was thinking.
"Since you're so confident. I'll go down and see how Zhang Jie is defeated, and see if it's the same as what you said. With these words, Zhan Lan got up from kneeling and stood up and walked out of the military tent, and at this time, he could already see the rout of Zhang Jie's Three Kingdoms Alliance from a distance. Without it, the defeated army swept away and morale collapsed.
From the moment Xiao Bingyi led the defeated army to retreat to the main formation, Zhang Jie's defeat had already been decided. The Quegit lancers were skilled in horsemanship and often did not wear armor. Therefore, the running speed was already much faster than the traditional heavy cavalry, and they quickly caught up with the five hundred heavy cavalry in the returning battle and gradually overtook them, because the knights under Zhu Peng's command also followed under the leadership of Huang Lilin. Because of the time difference between each other. It is impossible for the Mamluks on the return journey of 500 to turn back at this time, firstly, because they have no time to charge, and secondly, they will be penetrated by the defeated team of Xiao Bingyi.
These are all very traditional military knowledge in the Karadia continent, and the Salander nobles who led the five hundred Mamluks knew it very well. Therefore, his instinctive reaction was to lead the whole army to accelerate back to his own position. However, he did not expect the consequences of this...... At this time, the scene was as if Xiao Bingyi was sharp, 500 Mamluks were in the center, and then more than 400 Swadia knights were attacking Zhang Jie's main formation.
Zhang Jie was about to go crazy with such a scene of thousands of cavalry charging, and he quickly sent the remaining more than 400 Kugit cavalry in his hand to block the heavy knights in the Swadia charge, buying time for the defeated army to be included in the formation. In terms of tactical concept, there was nothing wrong with this tactical order, but in the process of giving the order, Zhang Jie had to ignore the mutual glances of the Kugit nobles and the collapsed morale of the coalition forces that had gradually fallen apart.
One blow, then decline. Three and exhaustion, not just to say that Zhu Peng's troops have such a morale limit. Even the troops led by Zhang Jie also have such a morale ceiling.
Under Zhang Jie's coercion and promises, the nobles of Kugit received the order to stop the Svadia Heavy Knights. However, Zhang Jie was still not satisfied, he learned Zhu Peng's infantry and cavalry tactics, and put the mercenary infantry phalanx he hired heavily in front of his own formation, wanting to vent the impact of the cavalry in case of killing.
"Refining the soul and tempering the soul...... Bundle paper into armor...... The military spirit is ...... Bloodburst Nether Spell. "Halfway up the hills, Ye Shouxuan waved his hands and quickly cast a series of large-scale war dao techniques, refining the soul is an auxiliary spell that reduces the enemy's morale, strengthens timidity, fear, and other negative feelings, if the opponent's morale is high, then the effect of this spell will be dispensable and very limited. But if the enemy itself is on the verge of demoralization, then this spell is likely to be a sharp kick from the abyss, sweeping the opponent into the abyss at once.
Bundled into armor, the military qi life is even a defensive Taoist technique, one seems to be a layer of silk paper under the armor of the charging knight, the defensive power is not very high, and the reduction force is excellent. The other is group damage sharing, although the sharing process is very low, but once the number of people affected exceeds 1,000, the effect of damage sharing is very considerable.
As for the Explosive Blood Netherworld Mantra, it is a war technique derived from the Burning Blood Dao Pill, which stimulates the potential to burn the blood and burn the marrow, overdraft the future vitality to improve the current survival probability and combat effectiveness, and even has a certain effect of bloodthirsty magic, once the fight is too long, it will greatly increase the probability of sudden death of the soldiers after the battle, but that is all after the war.
After the four war dao techniques were cast, Ye Shouxuan's face turned green from exhaustion. However, he still managed to swell another storm, and the wind that blew on the flat ground increased the speed of the charging knights by three percent, and then they collided with the cavalry that Kugit had ordered to stop...... The scene was so miserable that it was difficult to write, it was like a hammer smashing on a tomato, and the Kugit cavalry, which had more than 400 turns, perfectly interpreted what it meant to hit a stone with an egg, and in the face of the same number of Svadian Heavy Knights charged, they did not even achieve the basic task of slowing it down, and directly the whole army collapsed and joined the army that had returned from the rout. In the process, there were constantly Kugit nobles shouting about defeat, and gradually spread the panic to the whole army......
In the past, when I looked at the records of ancient wars in the outside world, it was mentioned that an ancient army was often defeated when the battle loss reached about 30%. When I first came to Calradia, I thought that the armies of this world were really elite, and it often took seventy or even eighty or ninety percent of a force to break up when one army was killed or wounded.
Now it seems that I think highly of the Calradians, not that they are better than our ancient Chinese army, but that they govern a large country like a small fresh, and their small corps of one or two hundred people is easy to control, so they can bear high battle losses, but once the number of soldiers exceeds the ability of the commander, it is the same as if the battle loss is more than three achievements will be a complete rout, and this is the case. Halfway up the hillside, Ye Shouxuan watched as the more than a thousand cavalry smashed into Zhang Jie's formation, and even the most elite soldiers could not suppress their fear under the rout, and the infantry formation hired by Zhang Jie collapsed without a fight, and the rout soldiers also rushed Zhang Jie's carefully maintained formation, and finally they were also involved in the frenzy of rout.
Four or five thousand soldiers, chased and killed by more than four hundred knights behind their buttocks, but almost no one has the courage to return to fight, this is a group of biological humans, once swayed by the diffuse fear of their peers, it is better to have reason than no reason, and once the rout is formed, it is irretrievable.
"No wonder Taiyin always said that only Han Xin's troops are more than good, it turns out that the power that surpasses his own control will really bring ruin...... This battle is decided. β
Zhan Lan shook his head, he didn't think that Zhang Jie could still have any possibility to turn the tide, the terrain below was the plain, once the pursuit began, it would not stop at all, and in the end, Zhang Jie's subordinates trampled on each other, and the dead and injured people would be many times more than those killed by the enemy. In ancient battlefields, morale and discipline determined the success or failure of a war, and in the case of a collapse of one side, it was normal for one person to chase and kill ten people, not to mention one person to chase and kill a hundred people.
Zhan Lan watched the chase battle below, and then felt bored and turned around and wanted to return to the military tent, but at the moment she turned back, she was stunned, staring blankly at the sky above her head as if she was suddenly petrified, and the breath of the whole person was silent.
"What's wrong?" Ye Shouxuan felt the strangeness of his companion beside him, and turned back with some curiosity, and the next moment he was also stunned.
I saw that a huge black cloud vortex appeared on the original black cloud dome at some point, and the immeasurable wind and clouds were whistling and rotating, even seeing such a huge whirlpool in the sea would make people feel shocked, not to mention that at this moment, the sea whirlpool has become a huge whirlpool composed of an immeasurable sea of clouds, and the spectacle in front of them is enough to make ordinary people stunned and sluggish. However, compared to ordinary people, what really made Zhan Lan and Ye Shouxuan feel terrified and unbelieving was the blood-red thunder bred in the depths of the whirlpool of the sea of clouds in front of them, the pupils that were like demonic gazes, although they were so far away, the two of them with keen spiritual senses had already felt the unrivaled and unimaginable power of destruction from it.
"How is it possible, the leakage of Taiyin's breath has triggered the heavenly punishment. This is impossible, it is obviously guarded by a robbery magic circle. "Seeing that he was about to return to the main god space with a complete victory, and seeing that he was about to step into a smooth path of cultivation, but at this moment, such a big change suddenly appeared, how could he not let Ye Shouxuan panic, how could he not let Ye Shouxuan be in chaos.
"What's the use of talking about these now, hurry up and find a way to save Zhu Peng." As he spoke, Zhan Lan waved his sleeves and was about to move forward, but he was dragged by Ye Shouxuan, who reacted behind him, and shook his arms angrily but couldn't break free.
"No, can't pass. This thunder tribulation feels like it's almost a Jindan extreme tribulation, Senior Brother Taiyin is nine deaths and one life in it, if you dare to go in, it will be ten deaths and no life and death. (To be continued......)
