Chapter 566: Go to War

After some time, the remaining beasts finally left the camp of the Night Army completely, and the Night Army slowly stabilized from the panic. According to Zhao Xu's order, those generals re-commanded the soldiers below to line up. At the same time, some of the wounded soldiers and those corpses were moved out, and the banner of the night army was raised again.

It's a pity that the areas that were severely impacted by the fierce beast just now, even if they are re-aligned, they no longer look like they had the momentum they had before. The Winged Army's goal of using the beast to create chaos and demoralize the Night Army has been achieved.

The fierce beasts rushed out of the night army formation, and many rushed to the rear camp, knocking down many tents in the tent area, and setting up fire lamps. Fortunately, the fire lights were not lit during the day, and if it had been changed to night, I am afraid that the night army camp would have been burning at this moment.

Fortunately, although the camp was in a mess, Zhao Xu and the generals could still be glad that the army was in front of the camp.

"Marshal, please forgive Wei for his dereliction of duty and failure to find out the enemy's intentions in time, resulting in the defeat of our army," when those generals were talking about the impact of the attack on the army by the group of fierce beasts just now, Wei Shi realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately asked Zhao Xu again for his guilt.

Wei Shi's original responsibility is to help the night army deal with the problem of fierce beasts, but now he has not been able to do it, as a subordinate, Wei Shi naturally wants to ask Zhao Xu for guilt.

"Master Wei doesn't have to mind, the enemy's tactics are beyond our imagination, and we can't blame Master Wei for this matter," Zhao Xu shook his head, it is true that Master Wei is not doing things well, but there will still be places to use Master Wei, and Zhao Xu can't say anything too ugly.

"Report, Marshal Qiyu, the enemy's main force is less than three miles away from our army," as he was talking, a sentry scout hurriedly came to report the military situation.

"So fast," Zhao Xu and the generals muttered in unison, all surprised by the arrival of the Wing Army.

"Prepare for battle," many thoughts flashed in his mind for a moment, and finally Zhao Xu gave instructions.

In fact, the speed of the Wings' march was somewhat unexpected, but it was expected by them. Since the Wing Army used the fierce beast to attack the morale of the Night Army first, the army would naturally follow. Everything was calculated by the Wings, and it would be even more surprising if the Wings were still some distance away from the Night Army's camp.

"Marshal, the winged army is pouring in, how will our army respond?"

"Do what you planned. ”

The Wing Army has already arrived three miles away, and naturally there will be no possibility of large-scale attack with fierce beasts, and now it seems that there is only a head-on battle with the Wing Army.

"Yes," some of the generals were ordered to leave, except for a few main generals such as Fang Quyin and Zhang Daring who stayed, they all went to check the formation and make sure everything was normal.

Under the pass of those generals, the news of the arrival of the Wing Army reached the ordinary soldiers. The fifty or sixty thousand veterans in the army were extremely angry, and when they thought of the attack on the camp by the fierce beasts just now, they would all have a feeling of wanting to vent their anger with the winged army. Unlike the mood of the veterans, the 100,000 recruits were afraid of the unfamiliar winged army. Originally, they had not participated in a single battle, but now they had to face the wing army with special abilities, and their performance was naturally inferior to the original night army.

Time flies quickly, not long after, hundreds of thousands of winged troops lined up in front of the night army, looking from a distance, the winged army also carried hundreds of fierce beasts locked with chains, all of them were fierce beasts tamed by the beast tamer, the combat power was very strong, if you rushed into the night army formation, it must be more difficult to deal with than those low-level fierce beasts before.

Seeing that the Wing Army was playing this trick again, many night army generals had a headache. Fortunately, Zhao Xu had already taken this into account, and when the wing army was arranging the troops, hundreds of ballista vehicles had been pushed out of the gap in the opposite column and aimed at the location of the wing army.

The Winged Army can scare the Night Army with ferocious beasts, and the Night Army can also use ballistas to scare the Wing Army. As soon as the ballista cart came out, the generals and ordinary soldiers in front were a little relieved. Zhao Xu had previously instructed that once the Wing Army used the fierce beasts to take the lead, then these ballistas would be specially used to deal with the fierce beasts, and the sixth-order martial cultivators hidden in front of the array would also kill the fierce beasts with all their might as soon as possible, so as to control the impact that the fierce beasts might have on the night army's formation.

In terms of dealing with fierce beasts, Zhao Xu was fully prepared, so the hundreds of fierce beasts brought by the Wing Army might cause some trouble, but it would never affect the overall situation.

Not long after the wing army stopped two hundred meters away, a chariot slowly moved forward, and the person sitting on the chariot was none other than Ruan Qiling, the commander of the wing army.

"Marshal Zhao, I didn't expect to meet again so soon," Ruan Qiling smiled at Zhao Xu, just like when he attacked Windless City last time, his whole person was full of confidence.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Marshal Ruan is becoming more and more impressive," Zhao Xu responded with a smile. Usually the confrontation between the two armies is directly started, or some generals come over to convey some information, but Ruan Qiling, as the commander-in-chief, likes to come over in person, and Zhao Xu naturally can't turn a blind eye.

Ruan Qiling dared to drive into the attack range of the Night Army, precisely because he saw that Zhao Xu would not let people attack him with arrows, otherwise even if Ruan Qiling was an eighth-order martial cultivator, he would not be able to escape death under hundreds of golden-scale arrows. I have to say that Ruan Qiling's courage has a very shocking effect.

"The marshal has won the award, Ruan is still the previous Ruan, but Marshal Zhao was made marshal by the Night Country Monarch after the battle of Windy City, which is really gratifying," Ruan Qiling smiled, his tone gave people an indescribable powerful feeling, and now it seems that only Zhao Xu can talk to Ruan Qiling normally.

"I'm afraid that Marshal Ruan led the army here today not to congratulate the marshal, right?" Ruan Qiling's behavior is still as elusive as before, and now Zhao Xu can understand why Ruan Qiling was able to succeed three times and twice.

"Since Marshal Zhao asked, Ruan is not polite, and he led the army today to destroy your night army, shame before the snow, and promote my prestige," said Ruan Qiling, the smile on his face disappeared, and in a blink of an eye, only a serious face remained.

"Marshal Ruan's tone seems to be too big, you know that our troops are similar, but the combat power of our night army is stronger than your army, but you still say that you can destroy my night army, which really makes this commander puzzled," Ruan Qiling's tone was so arrogant that Zhao Xu was a little dissatisfied, and in a fit of anger, Zhao Xu directly denied Ruan Qiling's statement.

"Presumably Marshal Zhao has already seen the ability of Marshal Zhao, since he doesn't believe it now, then only Marshal Zhao will come to talk to Marshal Zhao after the war, I hope that Marshal Zhao can still stand and talk to Marshal at that time. ”

"Marshal Ruan, if you have any tricks, just use them, Zhao will accompany you," I don't know what Ruan Qiling's plans are, but Zhao Xu definitely doesn't want to lose to Ruan Qiling in momentum at this moment.

"Hehe," Ruan Qiling chuckled and stopped answering, and then ordered someone to drive the chariot back.

"Marshal, the previous beast attack on the camp didn't seem to have much impact on the night army, the night army seems to have all the preparations and is waiting for us to come," the night army's formation is still very neat, and there is no panic at all. After Ruan Qiling returned, a general expressed his doubts to Ruan Qiling.

"Strong on the outside and strong in the middle," Ruan Qiling replied simply with only four words, Ruan Qiling had already received the news that those low-level fierce beasts had all rushed into the formation of the night army according to the plan, causing a lot of trouble to the night army.

When talking to Zhao Xu just now, Ruan Qiling noticed that the night army was showing signs of impact, and now the night army was lined up so neatly, it was just a formation.

"Marshal, will our army go to war immediately?" received Ruan Qiling's reply, and the general who asked did not have any doubts.

"Act according to the plan," it was still a simple four words, Ruan Qiling quietly looked at the lineup of the night army, and his face did not change at all. Judging from the current situation, the Night Army is indeed fully prepared, but it does not mean that they cannot disrupt the Night Army. As long as the original plan is successfully implemented, Ruan Qiling is eighty percent sure that he will be able to defeat the Night Army, but it is still unknown how many troops the Night Army can be eliminated in the end.

"Yes," the generals commanded, walking to a few positions at the front of the line.

"Attack," shouted the herald beside the chariot, and then the war drums beat as the winged armies who controlled the beast loosened their shackles. In the next moment, those fierce beasts seemed to be stimulated, and fiercely rushed towards the night army camp.

"Rush," after letting go of those fierce beasts, the winged army in front rushed behind them, all of them acting like warriors who are not afraid of death.

"Release the arrow," the offensive of the wing army was very urgent, and there were those fierce beasts, Zhao Xu did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered to block it.

After receiving Zhao Xu's order, tens of thousands of archers pulled their bowstrings together, and at the same time, hundreds of night soldiers pulled their ballistas and aimed at the fierce beast. Since there were no cavalry available, the Night Army had the opportunity to attack with bows and arrows, but for a short time, and once the beasts rushed within a certain distance, the archers had to retreat.

Long crossbow arrows shoot out in a hurry, and if they hit the vital spot, they can kill a fierce beast directly. The beasts that were shot by the bolts let out a scream, and fell or continued forward with the roars of the other beasts.

At the same time, a rain of arrows fell, clanging at some of the soldiers, and the winged army held their shields while resisting with their weapons to some effect, but many still fell, and when the night army archers launched a second attack, the winged army fell even more. At the same time, dozens of fierce beasts have died under the crossbow arrows.

The beast was running too fast, and in a blink of an eye, it had run within a hundred meters of the Night Army, and by this time there was still half of the number left. Time is pressing, and the person in charge of launching the ballista hurries to fire the bolts.

Not long after, the archers, after each firing three or four arrows, received orders to retreat from the tunnel as quickly as possible, and the infantry with spears directly filled the empty space they had left.

After a scream, more than a dozen fierce beasts were killed by crossbow arrows, and many winged soldiers were killed by crossbow arrows. The Night's attack did a lot of damage to the Wings, but it didn't stop the Wings from moving on.
