Chapter 196 The First Battle (7)
As the commander of the Ten Thousand Soldiers, Agoura has a higher status than Chaolu and knows more things. How much trouble Zhao Ning had caused to Xiao Yan and the Tianyuan Royal Court, Agoura knew it.
If you can capture Zhao Ning, it will be a great achievement!
In comparison, the military exploits of the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the B-shaped battalion cannot but be dwarfed.
Of course, Agoura knew that since Zhao Ning dared to fight in the battle formation, he must be guarded by the masters of the Zhao family, and once Zhao Ning's life was in danger, these people would definitely fight to the death.
However, when Zhao Ning came to him, such a good opportunity, Agula couldn't let it go no matter what! He was also a powerhouse in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and in the entire Yanmen Army, the only person he was really afraid of was Zhao Beiwang and his wife.
Even if the Zhao clan has a hidden master guard by his side, the realm cannot be higher than him, and the strength cannot be stronger than him!
The plan has been decided, and Agoura will personally go down to capture Zhao Ning, so as not to give the other party a chance to escape from the battlefield with the help of the guards.
"General, that Yanmen army has come up from the left flank!" At this moment, a cultivator came to Agula to report it.
Agoura glanced to the left flank, and a thousand paces away, a group of elite horsemen of the Yanmen army was fighting fiercely with his troops. The opponent's offensive was ferocious, showing good combat power, which was a few points stronger than the B-word battalion.
Because standing on a high place, this army did not rush up from the front of the grassy slope, but from the beginning, it detoured back to the flank, and Agoura had already noticed it.
As a veteran of the battlefield, well-informed and experienced in warfare, Agoura certainly knows what the other side wants to do. His response was also very simple, mainly attacking the B-shaped battalion on the front of the grassy slope, and only sending part of the troops to block the opponent.
When the positional disadvantage was greater and the frontal enemy who was better defeated was resolved, Agoura would be able to draw troops to reinforce the left flank and surround the Yanmen army.
Agoura's tactical purpose in adopting such a tactic was very clear: to eat all the Yanmen troops of the two battalions in front of him! Both sides were nearly 10,000 people, which undoubtedly showed that he had absolute confidence in the combat strength of his troops!
Facts have proved that Agoura's judgment is not wrong, in a short period of time, the Yizi Battalion of the Yanmen Army in front has been killed and wounded by him, and the casualties of his troops are far less than this number.
The battle situation on the front of the grass slope can be said to be the overall situation has been decided, as long as there are no accidents, the B-shaped battalion will undoubtedly be defeated.
Slightly contrary to Agoura's prediction, the Yanmen army on the left flank went around to a relatively high place, and the momentum of the charge was very fierce.
Although there are not many troops, after all, the two sides have just fought each other, and their own troops are a little unbearable, which still makes Agora a little surprised.
Agulardo glanced at it a few times, the opponent's main general had good combat strength, and it was difficult for his subordinates to have opponents, and it turned out to be a mid-stage Yuan Shen Realm.
"Third brother, you go to the left flank, be sure to stabilize your position!" Agoura gave a military order to the people around him. Beside him, there was still a thousand-man team that had not moved, firmly occupying the highest position on the grassy slope.
Right now, he is going to capture Zhao Ning, lay the foundation for victory and great achievement, and the last strength should be put into battle.
"Yes, General!" Agoura's third brother immediately ordered. He has the realm of the middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, and Agoura sent him over, naturally hoping that he could block the main general of the T-shaped battalion of the Yanmen Army.
Pulling down his armor, Agoura took one last look at the battlefield before leaving.
In front of the valley, Zhao Beiwang was still charging with the 10,000 Tianyuan army's elite cavalry, and the two sides had already killed a few back and forth, each of them had considerable losses, and the grass was full of corpses, adding up to more than 5,000.
There is no doubt that the battle was fierce, temporarily evenly matched, and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.
"The Yanmen Army is still the Yanmen Army after all. There has been no major war in a hundred years, and now, it can barely tie with our royal court elite cavalry. The thought crossed Agoura's mind.
However, he also saw that as long as Zhao Beiwang could not kill the main cavalry general against him, the Yanmen army would definitely lose.
"The two armies rushed into battle, and it was a pity that the Sky Wolf Bow could not give full play to its maximum advantage. But we have more and stronger practitioners. If it weren't for Zhao Beiwang, who was accompanied by a large number of Zhao cultivators, they would have been defeated. ”
Agoura retracted his gaze and no longer paid much attention to Zhao Beiwang's department.
Based on years of experience in the war, he judged that Zhao Beiwang's department would not be able to support it for too long. When about half of the casualties are lost, the Yanmen army will surely collapse.
In the final analysis, the Yanmen Army has not fought a major war for many years, and the psychological quality of the soldiers is average. Nearly half of the casualties in this first battle were lost, and there was no hope of victory, and the vast majority of soldiers would definitely not be able to bear it.
Agoura took one last look at the other side of the valley.
The battle situation there was similar to that of him, and the casualties of the Yanmen army were greater. There is no Zhao Ning there, and there are not so many Zhao powerhouses around Zhao Ning.
With a squad of guards, Agoura rode into battle. Under his order, the elite cavalry of the Tianyuan Army in front of him got out of the way, allowing him to quickly kill in front of Zhao Ning.
When both sides could see each other, Agula suddenly jumped up, and with lightning speed, he drew his knife out of the sheath, and the tiger pounced on it, and slashed towards Zhao Ning!
The distance between the two sides is only about 20 steps.
This distance is really not a distance for the later stage of the Yuan Shen Realm.
Before Agoura made his move, he didn't shout loudly like Chaolu, and he had been deliberately hiding his breath, which made Zhao Ning have no chance to draw his bow and shoot arrows at all!
In fact, even if Zhao Ning realized that a strong enemy was coming, the difference between the realms of the two was too big, and he didn't have time to draw his bow. Taking a step back, even if Zhao Ning pulled out the bow, the "Condor Shooting" would not be able to shoot Agula like he shot Chaolu.
The body protection true qi in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm is not so easy to break.
When Zhao Ning saw Agoura, the other party had already jumped in front of him, and the wolf warrior phantom rising behind him covered the sky and filled Zhao Ning's field of vision!
And the knife cut by the other party, just the blade made Zhao Ning's eyes sting, and in an instant, he was almost blind!
With Zhao Ning's realm, it is impossible to deal with Agoura!
The first-grade rune armor on his body, even if he can block the opponent's first sword, he will definitely not be able to block the opponent's second and third knives!
On Zhao Ning's side, whether it was the soldiers of the Yizi Battalion or the Zhao cultivators who were guarding him, under this thunderous sword, they were all shocked and their faces turned pale.
They didn't have time to rescue Zhao Ning, and they didn't even have the opportunity to rush to him and die for him!
Zhao Ning himself has no way to dodge!
......
Zhang Ermo's knife slashed vertically, splitting the Tianyuan Army cultivators in front of him, even people and horses, Yang Jiani, who was stained with blood-stained armor, raised her head, and her clear and bright eyes under the mask saw the reinforcements of the Tianyuan Army rushing in front.
As the deputy general of the B-shaped battalion, when the B-shaped battalion rushed to the grassy slope battlefield, she was arranged by Zhao Ning into the T-shaped battalion, and asked her to take the T-shaped battalion to detour behind the Tianyuan army and launch a strong attack.
This task is very critical, but there is no middle stage of the Yuan Shen Realm in the T-shaped camp. Yang Jiani can only take her Yang master guard and assume the role of the head of the T-shaped battalion.
The cavalry of the Tianyuan Army in front of him originally only had more than 2,000 people.
Although they occupy a favorable position, firstly, because the T-shaped battalion has gone around to a high place, and the offensive position selected by Yang Jiani has a gentle slope, there is not much difference between the height of the two, and secondly, because she and the Yang guards fought bravely, so it went smoothly.
Seeing that the Tian Yuan Army in front of him was about to be unable to support it, a thousand-person team suddenly came out from behind the opponent's formation, and the spearhead was pointed directly at the flank of his own battle formation!
With more than 3,000 Tianyuan troops, this force is not weak.
Yang Jiani didn't look at the reinforcements of the Tianyuan Army.
Taking advantage of an opportunity to dodge the spear, she leaped from her horse and her eyes fell on the highest point of the grassy slope!
Looking over the layers of heads, she saw that there was no one there!
Yang Jiani's eyes lit up.
Zhao Ning's military order suddenly appeared in her mind.
The time has come!
Beheaded the head of a Tianyuan Army in front of him, and in the sprayed blood waterfall, Yang Jiani shouted an order: "Mo Dao Array!"
In the middle and rear of the T-shaped battalion battle formation, 1,500 armor soldiers who had never fought with the cavalry of the Tianyuan Army suddenly dismounted en masse!
......
Rushing out of the cavalry battle formation of the Tianyuan Army again, Zhao Beiwang hurriedly looked back.
Seeing that the queue behind him had become sparse, and a large number of war horses were without knights on their backs, his heart twitched violently.
Before the war, he never thought that the battle against the grassland army would be like this, and the Yanmen army would have such heavy casualties!
Thousands of soldiers, thousands of good men, thousands of bloody bravery, in half an hour, drank hatred on the spot, and became a corpse with no breath!
Their heroic men are no longer known, their old parents are no longer taken care of, and the girls of the same village who are waiting for them to return to marry will never see them again......
Zhao Beiwang felt like his heart was dripping blood!
The biggest problem is not yet casualties, but the hopelessness of victory. When he began to change the formation, Zhao Beiwang still thought that when he solved the ten thousand horses first, he could still help kill the troops on the grass slope.
The battle on the grassy slope will inevitably be more difficult, and the Yanmen army will be under greater pressure and will suffer greater losses.
But he didn't expect that this grassland cavalry was not only heavily armed, not only did it have masters in the late stage of the Yuan Shen Realm, but also the proportion of cultivators was ridiculously high, even higher than the Yanmen army!
Keep fighting, and they will definitely lose!
Zhao Beiwang never thought that when he arrived on the battlefield of his dreams, this first battle would be such a tragic situation. He is the commander of the Yanmen Army, if this battle is really lost, how will he deal with himself in the future?
Looking back this time, Zhao Beiwang also saw a pair of surprised, shocked, and even frightened eyes.
He knew what mood the soldiers were in right now.
The elite army of the Great Qi should sweep across the grassland, destroy all the enemies of the grassland with a snap of their fingers, sing triumphantly with their heads hanging from their waists, and become more officials and lords, and be glorious and rich! Just like a hundred years ago.
Instead of being like now, being killed by the other party to the point of scattered comrades, the formation is not in order, and in every battle, a large number of siblings have disappeared around them, and they may die at any time!
On the battlefield, everyone can die. But only one out of ten people will die in battle, and less than half of the ten people have already died in battle, and the psychological pressure on people is completely different!
What's more, now there is no hope for everyone to win the battle and end the fighting! The most likely outcome for everyone is to be cut down by an enemy who should be much weaker than them, but is actually stronger than them!
The morale was low, the army was about to collapse, and Zhao Beiwang clearly understood this.
At this time, Zhao Beiwang finally realized that when he was at Yanmen Pass, Zhao Ning's method of marching and meeting the enemy was by no means superfluous.
But it's too late now.
He set his sights on the grassy slopes on either side of the valley mouth.
He knew that if the army could still win, the only hope was there!
And the location of Zhao Ning and Yang Jiani is undoubtedly relatively hopeful!
Once Zhao Ning's department is defeated, these 30,000 pioneers will also be completely defeated!
.......
Agoura stabbed him in the face, but Zhao Ning didn't move.
He didn't have a chance to dodge.
He closed his eyes.
The sword is too glaring.
When it was dark in front of him, he still held the lance steadily.
The horses are also galloping forward.
It looks like it's heading for death.
But Zhao Ning knows that if you don't move, you don't need to move.
Running forward is also to kill the enemy, not to send him to death!
He quickly opened his eyes.
There was no sting in front of me.
The long knife that Agoura had slashed was swept aside by a spear.
The sword is scattered!
The man with the gun is like a frightened dragon!
Running past this figure, the horse lance in Zhao Ning's hand stabbed at a Tianyuan Army cavalry general who was rushing forward!
In his ears, Agula's unscrupulous voice sounded:
"Zhao Wang's family?!"
