Chapter 682: I Never Expected
It was a little late, and the Tianlong army soon appeared in sight, and the coalition forces that had already been prepared lay on the ground one after another, and Zuo Zhi and Hua Xi condescendingly watched the Tianlong army come step by step.
Three cloudbirds flew in the air, and the remaining dozen cloudbirds immediately rose into the air to block them. A desperate posture fired a volley of arrows, and the three cloud birds had no choice but to retreat.
The probing cloud bird flew back to Zhiyun: "My lord, the enemy cloud bird protection, failed to get close, please send more cloud bird warriors, we will go and kill the enemy cloud bird." ”
Zhiyun asked him what he saw from afar?
The Cloudbird warrior replied: "They are lying on their stomachs on the hillside, all of them are lying on their stomachs, and they are relatively scattered, the cavalry is in the far rear, and the middle gives way to the cavalry, and it seems that they can attack at any time." ”
Zhiyun said that there is no need to investigate, it is already very clear, there is no need to get closer.
Feng Tianmao said that it sounded like no problem, the standard formation, the archers in front, the infantry in the rear and the cavalry, first shoot with bows and arrows, and then the cavalry will charge through the cavalry road, and the infantry will follow.
Zhiyun said yes, standard defense plus offense, the enemy learned the ghost this time, and knew to lie down, it seems that they have been beaten out by firearms. In this way, the effect of firearms will be greatly reduced, which is really not beautiful.
Tell everyone to get ready for battle. If you don't wait for dark, it's boring to fight when it's dark, and you can't see where to throw the thunder by hand.
Order all the Cloud Bird warriors to be assigned hand-thrown mines, and the mages are ready to press them out of their attacks to bully them.
Zhiyun was full of confidence at this time, this kind of battle that only fought others was simply too fun.
All the Cloud Bird Warriors received their hand-thrown mines, and the mage regiment also leaned forward, and the troops began to move forward. When it reaches a place where the enemy can't hit it, it stops, and the cloud bird strikes first.
More than 100 clouds and birds flew in, and Zuozhi once again ordered everyone not to move in place.
The cloud bird flew by, flying to a height beyond the reach of the enemy's bow and arrows, and one by one the thunder was sprinkled with hand, and the roar sounded all over the mountain, and bursts of wails appeared.
Zuo Zhi and Hua Xi also lay on the ground, and Hua Xi asked Zuo Zhi: "Why don't you let the cavalry drive the horses to attack first, but wait for us to suffer this thunder attack here in vain." ”
Zuo Zhi said: "If we don't consume their attacks at this time, our horses can't rush over, and there are mages, and the mages' attacks must also be held hard, we are so scattered, under the blind beating of their mages, not many people will die." We have to find the best opportunity to strike. What I'm concerned about now is, where are their Extraterrestrial Immortals, why haven't they used them?"
Zuo Zhi was very puzzled, the Flying Immortal he was most worried about did not appear.
Hua Xi said: "According to our research on the unexploded Feixian bomb, the cost is very high, and they don't know where to launch it from below, so they are reluctant to use it." We can only be seen from the air. ”
"Yes, it should be. Zuo Zhi agrees with the statement of Hua Xi.
One by one, the hand-thrown thunder exploded around them, and wails were heard from all directions, but they had no choice but to lie on the ground and try to hide.
Below, Zhiyun ordered all archers to prepare in case the enemy would charge after the mage attack.
Zhiyun was very careful, and the attack of the mages also reached the mountain at this time, and the Yuan magic skills of the group of injuries were nothing more than a few, what kind of fire meteors, boulders falling from the sky, and so on. But the effect is not good, the enemies are too scattered, and these mages are not high-level mages, and the high-level ones have all run back, so there are few people killed, after all, I can't see which way to attack.
Zuo Zhi was also puzzled at this time: "Why is their mage group so weak, is it because they are waiting for us to impact before using powerful mages." That's not good, a lot of our horses will be stopped. ”
Hua Xi asked, what should I do?
"There is no way, if you are stopped, you can only impact, the enemy's attack is weak, and the Yuanfa attack will soon pass, give it to me." ”
The order was given, the standard-bearer stood up and waved the flag, and the cavalrymen who were hiding far away in the rear dismounted from their horses, leaving only empty horses and more than a hundred people in the rear, and a dozen people in front.
After everyone had evacuated, the men driving the horses in front and behind urged the horses to gallop at the same time. All those responsible for driving the horses had a determined look on their faces, and they all knew that this time they were going to die.
The dismounted soldiers looked at their horses and their companions away, and they all held their hands on their chests and performed the Xuanyuan military salute, and some even shed tears.
A group of cloud birds also finished attacking at this time, and when they saw the horses rushing towards them, a group of cloud birds flew back in a hurry, and shouted loudly in the air: "My lord, the enemy army is rushing with empty horses." ”
Zhiyun secretly said that it was broken, and immediately ordered: "Everyone evacuate for me, and the warrior protects the mage, and retreats for me to both sides." ”
The original neat formation could no longer be maintained, and everyone withdrew to both sides, but before they could completely disperse, the enemy horses had already rushed down. Several mages performed at the same time, and the instantaneous technique knocked the person who drove the horse at the front off the horse, but it was useless, at this time it was already running, and the main person responsible for driving was the person behind, the horse whip shook and clicked, and the horse driving command in his mouth also turned into a roar, and the horses moved forward and rushed directly into the Tianlong army.
The warriors rose into the air and quickly killed one war horse after another, but this large number of war horses rampage at the fastest speed without anyone to control them, and they were too late to kill. The ordinary soldiers could only continue to dodge, but a large number of people still died under the hooves of the horses. When all the horses passed, the corpses of the horses and people lay on the ground, and the soldiers who were killed by the horses and trampled to death, and even many of Tianlong's cavalry were too late to dodge and were killed by the enemy's horses.
Seeing the success of his plan, Zuo Zhi finally smiled: "Won once, finally won once, after the archer's palace, everyone retreated, not waiting for their revenge." It's getting dark now, and I'll see how long they can chase after them. ”
Zuo has finally been comfortable, and since the beginning of the war, he has lost one after another, and this time he finally moved back to a game, although the number of people killed was not much relative to their losses, but at least the enemy died a lot more than his own people.
And below, looking at the corpses of the horses on the ground, Zhiyun squatted down and was silent for a long time, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Negligence, I never thought that horses could be used to fight like this." ”
Feng Tianmao walked over: "More than a thousand people died, and many of the remaining fractures were also nearly a thousand, the enemy was too cunning this time." Their horses are useless, so they are used to attack. I'm afraid that our previous attacks were not as big as our current losses. Let's catch up and fight, all we can do is retaliate. ”
Zhiyun said to chase, but he didn't fight, and the first battle in the north ended like this, although he didn't lose much, but he lost a lot. The Black Bear Legion prepares to retreat at night.
Luo Bai said that he wanted to leave, so he would go back early and see how he fought over there. Ask Zhiyun if he is leaving? It's the same with someone else's command here.
Zhiyun said that he would not leave, there was a princess over there, a Shenwu general, and even a deputy Shenwu general went back with the King of Longshan. There are more commands over there than here, so you don't have to rush back. I have to follow the last army back. Order the interrogator to report back the battle situation immediately, and all the situation should be clearly described, and nothing should be omitted.
Zhiyun didn't want to hide the defeat. In fact, theoretically speaking, it is not a defeat, horses are more expensive than soldiers, and the enemy has so many horses gone, it should be a big loss. But they don't need these horses in the first place, and it is impossible to rush back to the clouds, and they will definitely be robbed. If they make the last use and cause damage to the Celestial Dragon, they will win. Zhiyun will not change this result by forceful reasoning.
He dared to admit defeat.
