Chapter 360: Battlefield Massacre
After three rounds of hard crossbow shooting, the Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army lost at least a third of the man-wolf cavalry. But the red-eyed Huangfu Song screamed, asking no one to stop, and to attack the seemingly lonely and weak team in front of him with all his might.
The armies of the Eastern Saint Kingdom soon organized a new wave of attacks. This time, all the people were red-eyed, whether it was the hoplite cavalry or the green fire wolf cavalry army, they were all rushing forward desperately. Everyone, every horse, and every wolf had a look of extreme fanaticism on their faces. It was as if they were not facing death and a bloody battlefield full of dangers, but the ultimate dream shared by all human beings.
It was a completely one-sided massacre. Although the troops of the Eastern Saint Kingdom were also constantly firing arrows in the process of charging, for the Flying Tigers wearing Taihe Iron armor, the threat posed by their arrows was almost negligible.
After another three rounds of dense arrow rain, Huangfu Song was horrified to find that all the cavalry clusters that participated in the charge had been all over the mountains just now, and they were majestic and majestic, but now they had been completely defeated. Their two mighty charges, before they even reached the side of others, had already lost more than half. Endless corpses lay on the battlefield and wounded soldiers, wounded horses and wounded wolves struggling to cry out. Faced with this situation, he was completely confused and didn't know what to do.
The entire battlefield was in chaos, and there was a thick smell of blood everywhere. The frightened people cried out and scurried around like headless flies. The original majestic and neat battle flags of all kinds were crooked on all kinds of corpses, and they fluttered weakly in the hunting wind.
Luo Ming did not use the Flying Tigers until this time, and his purpose was very clear, that is, to eliminate the Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army.
In order to achieve this goal, he made full preparations. Before the outbreak of the war, each member of the team was equipped with one hundred and fifty Taihe iron crossbow arrows, which was already an unprecedented luxury equipment for Luo Ming. Basically, most of the crossbow bolts that had been accumulated over the years had been distributed to the soldiers.
One of Jiemuer's disciples accompanied the army to make emergency repairs. When he saw this battle, he couldn't help but weep bitterly: "My God, do you know how many processes and how much effort it takes us to shoot a crossbow arrow?
After each battle, Luo Ming asked his subordinate officers to organize soldiers to search for crossbow arrows on the battlefield as much as possible. But nearly a third of the bolts were never recovered.
The war was fought at great cost, and after six rounds of intensive shooting, each member of the Flying Tigers had less than half of their arrows left. But Luo Ming did not hesitate at all, and ordered Jiang Tengjiao to immediately organize a counterattack.
The horses were quickly pulled from the rear, and the Flying Tigers stepped onto their horses, and under the orderly command of officers at all levels, they began to pursue and annihilate the cavalry units of the Eastern Holy Kingdom, which had been completely beaten and turned around. Luo Ming and Jiang Tengjiao slowly moved forward with the last team to set off.
The rout of the Northern Alliance cavalry also shook the morale of the infantry, and Lin Yi took the opportunity to open the north gate of Black Cloud City and led her Tempest Warriors army out of the city. The hard crossbow used by the Tempest Warriors is a fine iron version of the "Legend of the Grim Reaper", although it is not as powerful as the Taihe iron version, but it is also much more powerful than the ordinary hard crossbow. There is no problem in fighting the hoplites of the Eastern Holy Kingdom, and besides, there is no limit to the number of arrows they can take.
Under the attack of Luo Ming and Lin Yi in all directions, the mighty army of the Eastern Saint Kingdom collapsed and collapsed in an instant. Everywhere there were groups of troops kneeling down to show that they had given up resistance.
The army of Black Cloud City was also in chaos at this time, chasing the defeated troops of the Eastern Holy Kingdom who were fleeing in all directions. Lin Yi rode a high-headed war horse with a sassy and heroic posture, and led a team of personal soldiers to interrogate and search for Huangfu Song, the commander of the Eastern Holy Kingdom. With the help of the troops, they quickly captured Huangfu Song, who was already dressed as an ordinary soldier and tried to escape in the crowd.
At this time, Huangfu Song looked sluggish, anxious, and embarrassed. When he was caught, he collapsed to the ground, and had to rely on two soldiers to carry him on a wooden plank. When he saw Luo Ming coming in high spirits, he raised his hand and pointed at the child with an incredible look, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Luo Ming walked up with a smile on his face, patted his arm and comforted, "Those assassins you sent are quite conscientious, but their abilities are much worse. If you want to assassinate me next time, remember to send more masters!" Huangfu Song finally closed his eyes in frustration when he heard this.
The battle under Black Cloud City ended with astonishing speed. In this battle, the Blue Fire Wolf Cavalry Army was almost completely annihilated. More than 100,000 cavalry and infantry of the Eastern Holy Kingdom surrendered, and countless weapons, armor, and grain and grass were captured.
After Luo Ming instructed Jiang Tengjiao to immediately gather his troops, he turned to Lin Xiaoshuang with a smile and asked, "Is my brother willing to lead the Tempest Warrior Army to help me relieve the siege of Fuhua County?" Lin Yizhan didn't have any fun, and said happily: "Okay, I'll let you see how powerful my Tempest Warrior is!"
"Brother remember, don't let that kid Gu Yinqi run away. Don't look at that kid who is fat, he is really slippery. Luo Ming chased after her back and admonished.
Lin Yi turned around and smiled, revealing a row of brilliant white teeth, and said, "Don't worry! As long as he doesn't slip away before I arrive, I will definitely catch him for you." ”
"Then it's up to my brother. Luo Ming said loudly.
The surprise attack planned by Zhao Hui completely disrupted the deployment of the Northern Alliance army that had invaded the city. All the high-ranking generals were almost wiped out, and Gu Yinqi, who had escaped by chance, was completely confused, yelling hysterically all day long, and issuing all kinds of contradictory instructions indiscriminately, making his subordinates completely inexplicable, but they didn't dare to ask him.
The confusion of the Northern Alliance army was detected by the keen Zhao Hui and Wang Jingxuan, who quickly organized a counterattack, and gradually regained many of the lost territory and drove most of the large number of enemy troops out of the city. Their counterattacks became more and more fierce, and after the battle, Wang Jingxuan even smiled when he recalled this time: "Lin Yi came too quickly, if she came a little later, it is estimated that General Zhao and I would be able to end the siege here alone." ”
Lin Yi, who has always been resolute, led the main force of her Tempest Warrior Army and rushed to the outskirts of Fuhua County in the afternoon of the same day. They immediately divided their troops into two routes and swept the enemy forces surrounding Fuyang County along the east and west flanks.
