Chapter 31: Death and Life
Su Ye ran wildly all the way, slashing with his long sword, cutting into the battlefield in the constant sound of killing, passing through the weak crowd of Meng and Ye hundreds of tribes from the side, and desperately approaching Cheng Qianjun who was roaring in anger.
He wanted to persuade Cheng Qianjun to give up his plan to fight to the death, and lead the rest of his troops to rush out of the battlefield and withdraw to the Jingjue City.
The entire army was betrayed by traitors, nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed, and they lost their geographical advantage and lost the opportunity; under the ruin, the cavalry charged several times, but still could not disrupt the enemy's formation, and had lost its sharpness; in the face of the enemy in the Condensation Realm with a huge disparity in strength, it was irrational to fight to the death.
Even if the morale of the whole army is still there, it will be difficult to escape the fate of defeat.
Since you know that the outcome of the defeat cannot be changed, why not withdraw from the battle while the morale is still there.
At least, this can still retain some of its strength, and if the morale of the whole army is completely defeated, in this Jedi surrounded by mountains, the entire Tengyun Legion will fall into a state of no return.
"General......" Su Ye finally came to him before Cheng Qianjun organized a charge, "You can't rush anymore, save your strength and withdraw your troops." ”
"Su Gongzi ......" Cheng Qianjun looked at the young man who killed him in shock, and shook his head, "We have no way out." ”
"For ...... Why?" Su Ye was shocked, and said urgently, "We are desperate to kill out, at least some people can be left, so that the whole army will not be wiped out, as long as the Tengyun Legion is still organized, and return to the southern border of Chu State, after a few years, we will still be able to fight with the Meng and Ye hundred tribes and avenge this sea of blood." ”
"There's no chance. Cheng Qianjun swung away the rushing enemy with his heavy sword, and said loudly, "You look up at the top of the surrounding mountain, there are already strong men of the Liuyun Sect who have blocked the retreat of my Tengyun Legion. ”
Su Ye looked up at the top of the surrounding hill according to his words, and saw four men on one side, with electricity lingering in their hands, looking at the battlefield below in silence.
When Su Ye rushed down from the mountain before, he didn't see these four people, and he couldn't help but be extremely shocked.
"Is this ......," he asked urgently, "...... People from the Liuyun Sect?"
"Young Master Su, this is a trap!" Cheng Qianjun was covered in blood, did not answer directly, and there was a strong sadness in his eyes, "This war, from beginning to end, is just a trap to hunt down the 100,000 soldiers of my Tengyun Legion, but unfortunately I understood too late and has already brought the brothers to death." ”
He roared angrily, and constantly slammed his heavy sword on the iron armor of the war horse, condensing the last battle intent.
By Qianjun's side, countless ironclad cavalry also struck their swords on the ironclad with his roar, and the strong battle intent erupted in silence.
"General......" Su Ye wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Cheng Qianjun.
"If you survive......" He reached into his arms, took out a token with a fire cloud printed on it and threw it to Su Ye, "...... Please bring this token back to Lingdu and present it to Your Majesty. ”
Su Ye responded, caught it blankly, didn't have time to react, and Cheng Qianjun had already rushed in front of him with a horse.
"The soldiers of my Tengyun Legion, even if they die on the battlefield, their fighting spirit will never be annihilated. He raised his sword to the sky, led his horse straight to the death battle array in the battlefield, and roared wildly, "Kill ......"
The entire Iron Cavalry team gathered around him roared fiercely and launched a final charge.
Under the dazzling light, everyone on the war horse rushed into the sword qi sword with the determination to die, and no longer took a step back, even if the body turned into flesh and blood, and was shattered, they must also cut the long knife in their hands into the other party's condensed formation.
The entire Tengyun Legion never flinched under the commander's determination to fight to the death.
All the infantry battle formations abandoned their defenses, and with the charge of the cavalry, they fought back desperately, killing every enemy of the rushing Meng and Ye Bai tribes, until the last man in the battle formation fell.
The Tengyun Army's dying counterattack was cruel and heroic.
Blood rained down on the entire battlefield void, and the thick smell of blood almost solidified into substance.
Under the charge of disregarding their lives, after the number of cavalry was broken off by eight layers, the Lingli battle formation formed by a hundred condensation realm powerhouses was finally broken, however, at this time, in the face of the formation that had been broken, the Tengyun Legion was powerless to return to the sky.
After the commander and the elite cavalry were killed, in the face of the nearly 100 condensation realm powerhouses who were raging rampantly, all they could do was to struggle to the death.
There was no suspense in the slaughter on the battlefield, dozens of brilliant qi swept across the void, and every blow that fell could kill dozens of lives.
As one of the three major legions of the Great Chu Empire, the Tengyun Legion is gradually annihilating under the vertical and horizontal sword qi.
"Why?" Su Ye looked at the blood rain in the sky and asked himself secretly, "What is this war for, why did the Liuyun Sect take the trouble to exterminate the entire Tengyun Legion......
The great factions of the Primal Spirit Realm rarely intervene in worldly disputes.
The Liuyun Sect is so aggressive, and the masters are exhausted, and what they are planning must not be simple.
"Three junior disciples, let the disciples withdraw!" On the top of Sixiang Mountain, a man in green clothes held a thunderbolt in his hand, staring at the battlefield below the mountain, "There is no one in the Tengyun Legion, and everything that happens to the spirit capital is no longer a threat." ”
"Senior brother, Elder Ning didn't let us ......" The other person on the top of the mountain stopped talking.
"The purpose of the sect, the three junior disciples won't not know, right?" said the man in Tsing Yi in a deep voice, "If we want to take the Chu State into our pockets, then these border barbarians can't let them become the climate." Elder Ning's purpose is to make it impossible for the Tengyun Legion to return to the Spirit Capital, and we have achieved this purpose!"
"What does Senior Brother mean...... Is it best for the Tengyun Legion to die with these barbarians?" the three of them asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, it's best to do our best. The man in Tsing Yi smiled, "This not only solves the matter that Elder Ning explained to us, but also solves the hidden dangers at the border of Chu State." ”
"Understood, senior brother. The three of them replied in unison.
Then, four long howls came from the top of the mountain, forming layers of sound waves that covered the entire battlefield.
After hearing these long howls, the disciples of the Liuyun Sect who were raging in the slaughter retracted their swords, retreated violently, and gradually withdrew from the battlefield and disappeared between the mountains and fields.
Su Ye looked up and saw that on the top of Sixiang Mountain, the four Liuyun Sect masters who had blocked the battlefield had lost their traces.
Although he didn't know why the Liuyun Sect suddenly left at the moment when the battle was about to be won, there was a ecstasy in his heart.
Without the help of the Liuyun Sect, the rabble of the Meng and Ye Bai clans were not the opponents of the Tengyun Legion at all.
Su Ye raised his palm high and roared loudly, letting the soldiers of the Tengyun Legion who were fighting around him continue to converge towards him.
"Although the general is dead, the military soul of the Tengyun Legion will never be annihilated. He roared at the battlefield, "Soldiers, follow me to reorganize the battle formation, fight a bloody way, and avenge the dead comrades!"
A long howl echoed throughout the battlefield.
The soldiers of the Tengyun Legion who were still alive converged on Su Ye's side like a tide, their iron hooves cracked, and their weapons dripping blood.
As the talisman of the Tengyun Legion, the Fire Cloud Order attracted the desperate warriors like a soul call, and with tears in their eyes, they closely surrounded Su Ye's side, forming an attack battle formation again, and stubbornly defending a high ground at the foot of the mountain.
"Commander Wanfu, where is the head of a thousand households?" Su Ye killed a Meng warrior who rushed in front of him with a sword, and shouted, "The cavalry charges from both wings, be sure to tear apart the battle formation of the Meng and Hundred Clans, and all the ironclad infantry follow the path of the cavalry charge, and follow me to open a bloody path." ”
"The last general commands!" the few remaining generals replied loudly.
Su Ye's sword swept away, and the soldiers with all the soldiers stopped the soldiers of the Meng and Ye tribes who were swarming up, buying time for the cavalry to charge forward. The remaining 2,000 elite cavalry were covered in blood, whirling around on horseback, hiding behind the bloody ironclad infantry, and standing quietly on the hillside and high ground.
"Brothers, although I am still alive and dead, the military soul of my Tengyun Legion will never be annihilated!" the two cavalry commanded the blades to the sky and roared angrily, "Fight a bloody path and let the living brothers go home!"
"Kill, kill, kill...... "The two thousand iron horsemen clenched their blood-stained knives and roared angrily.
The war horses neighed, the blades roared, and the rolling iron streams poured down from the hillside, bypassing the bloody infantry, and rushing into the battle formation of tens of thousands of people.
They are like arrows off the string, sharp, and nothing can stop them.
Everyone with the determination to die raised their swords in the air and harvested every life that the war horse rushed through.
A fierce line of blood continued to expand in the battle arrays of the Meng and Ye Hundred Clans, all the way to the south leading to the Exquisite City.
Su Ye's long sword flew one after another, stepping on the tired corpses, and with the remaining 7,000 ironclad infantry of the Tengyun Legion, he moved forward at great speed along the blood line of the cavalry charge.
The sound of killing roared, and the screams were endless.
Every Tengyun Legion soldier in the dead place swung his sword with all his might, bursting his strength and killing intent to the extreme.
When physically wounded, they will consciously retreat in order not to slow down the entire team, burning the last of their life's potential, and blocking all enemies who rush towards the team.
Death, spreading in the battlefield, blood pools into rivers and flows under their feet, and everyone is red-eyed, not seeing the enemy fall, and will never stop.
The battlefield of flesh and blood, at this moment, was completely reduced to Shura purgatory.
The Tengyun Legion in a desperate situation was like a steel knife that slashed into the battle formation of the Meng and Hundred Clans, and lost the battle formation with the help of the masters of the Liuyun Sect, even though the people were dozens of times that of the Tengyun Legion, they still could not stop the advance of the Tengyun Legion.
There are only about 1,000 elite cavalry left to break through the battle formations of the Meng and Hundred Tribes.
They gritted their teeth, covered in blood, and looked at the ironclad infantry who were deep in the middle of the battle formation, turned their horses again, and raised their swords to charge in reverse.
The early sun rises in the east, with a rich color of blood, enveloping the entire battlefield.
The last elite cavalry of the Tengyun Legion rushed into the battle formation again without hesitation, tearing apart the blood line that was gradually closing again.
Su Ye looked at the tearing battle formation, the cavalry front line that was getting weaker and weaker, and his heart gradually became cold.
