Chapter 210
Smashed to the ground, or stabbed with spears by the onrushing enemy soldiers, and then thrown to the ground, the formation on both sides was quickly disrupted by cavalry.
After rushing to the camp of the infantry, those cavalry wielded their guns and swords, and slashed and slashed, killing the enemy in a chaotic manner, but fortunately this was the case on both sides. As the reinforcements continued to form a defensive line, the cavalry of both sides failed to rush to the rear of the opposing camp.
Blood was spilled, broken limbs were flying, and under a terrible scream, everything was so cruel that it was impossible to look at directly.
In about a quarter of an hour, the number of people in the melee area has been significantly reduced, and there are losses on each side. The soldiers of the Snow Country launched a strong attack on the Night Army under the leadership of the generals, and the army of the Night Country was not to be outdone, and under the leadership of Zhao Xu, they have been resisting hard.
At the beginning of the battle, the army of the Snow Country was relatively large, about 30,000 people, and the Night Country only dispatched more than 25,000 people in a hurry, and there was a certain gap in numbers. Of course, when the two armies are fighting, as long as it can be seen that the disparity between the forces of the two sides is too great, then after the battle, the soldiers on both sides will only care about killing the enemy, and the advantages and disadvantages in numbers will not be shown in a short time.
As long as the soldiers in the melee do not clearly feel that the other side has more people and less people, the morale will not be affected.
Now the battlefield is chaotic, there are many people in the night country in some areas, and there are many people in the snow country in some areas, and the soldiers participating in the battle cannot determine the difference in the number of people between the two sides, so no one is afraid of anyone.
As the battle heats up, the soldiers have no concern about numbers, and their only thought is to kill the enemy so that they can survive. Driven by this thought, they can only attack the enemy incessantly.
In the night, the white armor of the soldiers in the Snow Country was stained with blood, and the color became mottled. The black leather armor worn by the soldiers of the Night Kingdom was even darker after being stained with blood, and the clothes of the two sides were still very different.
After killing the red eye, both the infantry and the cavalry are in the same state at the moment, the same bravery.
In some parts of the melee area, the generals of the two sides fought inextricably, and the sky was full of energy and light and shadow under the night. For fear of being accidentally injured by their strength, no ordinary soldier dared to approach them. In terms of the number of generals. The two sides are about the same, so they are evenly matched.
The commanders of the two armies were still in their original positions, constantly observing the situation on the battlefield. After determining that the enemy army was more numerous than his own, Zhao Xu was worried that his side would be defeated, and was already considering whether to draw reinforcements from the camp.
But those camp guards were originally used by Zhao Xu to prevent the main force of the Snow Army from arriving to prepare, and now they are busy sorting out their baggage and have no time to come over to help in the battle. On the other hand, Zhao Xu also wanted to see the power of the Snow Army.
The gap between the two sides in terms of numbers is not too big, they are not without a chance to win, but judging from the current situation on the battlefield, the night army has not been able to suppress the outstanding performance of the opponent's numerical superiority. If the battle continues, the enemy's numerical superiority gradually becomes apparent, then the night army can only retreat.
While Zhao Xu was analyzing the situation in front of him, the pioneer general of the Snow Country was also analyzing the situation on the battlefield. Although his own formation is chaotic, he can still see that the army is advancing, which is indeed a good start, the only pity is that the Snow Country General also sees that in the end, it must be a situation where the enemy loses 1,000 and I die 800.
Although the final victory belongs to his side due to the superiority in numbers, the Snow Country General cannot accept such an outcome, so if he fails to destroy the morale of the enemy army for a long time, then this person can only plan to use this battle as a test. Without damaging morale, Ming Jin withdrew his troops.
The battle continued, and in the camp, the three of them had already discussed many issues, and now they were just waiting in a hurry.
"It's been a while since the troops were dispatched, why hasn't there been any news yet?"
"Sooner or later there will be results, we just need to keep our spirits up and wait until the battle is over. ”
"It's really unlucky, I just came out of that dense forest, who knew that such a thing would happen so soon?"
"Who says it's not, since we met Zhou Wuji's gang, Qingyi and I have never been lucky. When it comes to Zhou Wuji, that hateful face is still vivid, and it is difficult for Lin Xuanzhong to forget that face.
The feud between the two sides, Lin Xuanzhong remembered it very well, and if he had the opportunity in the future, he must go to the city that never sleeps to find Zhou Wuji and others to take revenge, and kill them quickly, which can be regarded as eliminating harm in the name.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Xuanzhong thought of the middle-aged team leader and them, but he couldn't meet them at the agreed place, and it was thought that everyone would definitely turn back to find him and Qingyi. However, judging from what happened to the two, it is obvious that they did not find it.
Thinking that the city that never sleeps is so big, and what Zhou Wuji and they are doing is so unsightly, it is not surprising that this will be the result, Lin Xuanzhong will not blame them, but he is worried that they will encounter trouble in the process of finding the two of them. It's a pity that I can't even go back to the city that never sleeps, let alone go back to them.
If you want to blame it, you can only blame it on bad luck, and after thinking about it with emotion, Lin Xuanzhong hopes that they can come back from winning the battle, maybe the commander of the thousand will be happy to let the three of them leave as promised.
At present, Lin Xuanzhong has really had enough of this kind of loss of personal freedom, but he doesn't have the strength to change his fate, so after thinking about it, he still returns to the fundamental issue.
No matter what his physical condition is, after such a long time in the past, Lin Xuanzhong just wants to find a time to find a place to practice martial arts, and maybe he can break through the current realm by learning martial arts, but unfortunately he doesn't even have the opportunity to practice martial arts now.
"What's the use of saying more, the key is to look at the outcome of the battle," In fact, about going back, Qing Yi also thought about it many times, Qing Yi knew that the people from the mercenary team would go back to find the two, but after thinking about it, he could only choose to face the reality as helplessly as Lin Xuanzhong.
In the anxious waiting, another period of time passed.
"Jingle bell," a series of gongs sounded in the rear of the Snow Country's army, and the Snow Country's commander finally decided to withdraw his troops, and when the army's morale was high, Snow Country would definitely be able to defeat the Night Country army, but at the cost of losing a lot of soldiers.
Originally, as the vanguard troops, their main purpose was to test the attitude of the enemy's commander-in-chief and confirm the enemy's strength, but now they generally know that they do not need to do their best for the final victory, and it can be regarded as giving the enemy a little more time to consider.
The sound of the gong was smooth and orderly, the soldiers of the Snow Country received the order, stopped in an orderly manner and retreated, the army of the Night Country did not know why the other party would retreat, and many people chased after them, but soon there was also a sound of gongs behind them.
After Zhao Xu gave the order, the Night Kingdom also called for the retreat of the soldiers, and the generals who led the soldiers shouted for the ordinary soldiers to retreat. Immediately afterward, the army of the Night Kingdom also began to retreat, leaving only bloodstained corpses on the battlefield that were becoming cold. At the time of the armistice, the soldiers of Snow Country took all their wounded with them.
There are also a lot of wounded soldiers in the Night Kingdom, and those who are seriously injured are no longer able to move, so Zhao Xu also asked those generals to take away the wounded after discovering that many wounded soldiers could not move.
In the blink of an eye, the armies of both sides retreated outside the battlefield.
"General Zhao, today's battle is just the beginning, if you don't surrender as soon as possible, our Snow Country's army will be directly pressed to the city in the future. Before withdrawing the troops, General Nahong did not forget to remind him.
"Accompany you to the end," Zhao Xu's attitude became more firm in response to General Hong's reminder. First, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and second, their night army really couldn't fight this battle. Due to the poor performance of the soldiers, Zhao Xu held back his anger, otherwise Zhao Xu would not have simply chosen the defenders.
There was no reason to stay, Zhao Xu left directly with the army. On the Snow Army's side, they are considered to be victorious, and General Hong will naturally not give up cleaning up the battlefield. After the Night Army left, General Hong sent many people to clean up the battlefield, and the weapons and armor worn by those Night Nation soldiers were trophies.
While collecting the booty, General Hong also ordered the corpses of the soldiers on both sides to be separated, and it was not until the cleaning was completed that the Snow Country army returned to the garrison.
After the army of the Snow Country left, the spies of the Night Army passed the news about the battlefield to Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu was even more angry when he heard it, but he was angry, at that time, they were indeed defeated, as the defeated party, they naturally did not have the opportunity to take the lead in cleaning the battlefield.
In a fit of rage, Zhao Xu ordered people to immediately pile up the corpses of his soldiers and burn them, so that those corpses would not become the food of the beasts.
The generals of the Night Army didn't understand why Zhao Xu would let the Snow Army clean up the battlefield openly, but after thinking that the number of the Snow Army was obviously larger than their own when they left, they didn't dare to criticize Zhao Xu's decision.
When he returned to the camp, there was a lot of movement in the army, and Zhao Xu ordered the soldiers left behind to stop being busy sorting out their baggage, but to help treat the wounded soldiers first.
There was a shout outside, and the three people in the tent immediately noticed that the army had returned. When I opened the tent, there was chaos outside, and there were soldiers walking everywhere. But before the three of them could see what was going on, the two guards at the door had already asked the three of them to go back.
In desperation, the three returned to their tents.
On the other side, while treating the wounded soldiers, Zhao Xu had already ordered his subordinates to count the casualties, and they would not evacuate tonight, but tonight's battle situation made Zhao Xu understand that there were many issues to consider.
Although the border army practiced from time to time, its performance on the battlefield was very unsatisfactory, and Zhao Xu wanted to think about what was going on. Tonight is destined to be an unquiet night.
Although the three people in the tent could not go out, they still discussed the situation outside in the tent. In Lin Xuanzhong's opinion, since the enemy army did not chase after him, it meant that the night army was not defeated, and they did not need to flee with the army. Now there are only two possibilities left, a draw or a win.
