Chapter 152: Battle Song, Swan Song.
When the last strength of the Huben army was close to the death of the cavalry of the Ao Han Department, on the left side of Fenggutun, the troops led by Qu Xian were hit hard by the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, and when the supporting cavalry arrived, they still could not compete with it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć After the Tiger Ben army was left behind, most of the rest retreated to the south, and thirty miles away, when the Tiger Ben army had just turned its horse's head, the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry had already arrived.
At the same time, the warlocks who had been waiting here in advance by the Tiger Ben Army finally withdrew from the Hidden Array. The most elite 30,000 Qilin guards in Dongzhou cut into the battlefield from the right.
......
In the early morning of October 12, Xiang Tinghan, the lord of Guanhe City, after repelling the army of Yaofengzhai who wanted to raid the embankment of the Wuling River, led the garrison of Xianghe Ling, and the remaining 6,000 light cavalry marched north, which happened to be with the pursuit troops arranged by King Liang on the left road, forming an encirclement of the Yaofengzhai rout.
In the fierce battle, half of the soldiers of Yaofeng Village and the main general Zarzhu were killed, and the rest of the remnants of the army were received by the Annazaru Division, and they evacuated to the west in embarrassment, and the army pursued by Dongzhou was expelled to the outside of the Qingye Plain.
......
At noon on October 12, the 15,000 cavalry of the Central Army on the right side of Dongzhou, which had entered Qingyeyuan from Suiyan City, rushed to the outside of Fenggutun, providing a strong response for the right flank against the Tiger Ben army.
At the same time, in the southeast of Aonohara below, the infantry brigade of the Central Army on the right side of Dongshu met the enemy who rushed from the east. Xingjun's three forces, totaling 90,000 horses, were marching north, trying to encircle the Tiger Ben army behind. Both sides are dominated by foot soldiers. In the initial hand-to-hand encounter, Xingjun used a special hook shield to effectively restrain the spearmen in Dongzhou, and then threw a rain of arrows, constantly causing casualties in the Chinese army on the right.
But then, there were stones the size of four carriages, which suddenly fell from the sky, and crushed out a hundred zhang of blood in the Xingjun array.
This kind of artillery carriage comes from the hands of Nan's craftsmen who have always been friends with Dongzhou, and its lethality is incomparable. Twenty huge artillery carriages were revealed, and with only five volleys, more than 4,000 dead and wounded in the Xingjun army, and the soldiers were panicked and had no will to fight, and began to rout southward. Only then did the central army on the right press the two thousand light cavalry archers who had been waiting for the opportunity, and pursued them with their crossbows all the way, from the place where the battle first took place, until they were four hundred miles away.
After the first battle, Xingjun lost 23,000 personnel, and among the three forces, two commanders were killed and one was captured by the ghost fox. This battle cleared the rear road for Dongzhou on the Qingye Plain, and the army could advance or retreat without hindrance.
......
While the two sides continued to fight fiercely, on the periphery of the Fenggutun battlefield, there was a top-level confrontation in the entire Battle of Aonohara, and even within thirty years. The two sides of the duel are Xingjun Wang Tiegui and his seven thousand black wolf warriors, and Dongzhou General Jinghu Fang Shuo.
In the later generations, no one expressed amazement and puzzlement at the disparity in the number of people here, but all of them surrendered to the terrifying power of the White Tiger Battle Armor and the even more terrifying battle intent of the Silent Tiger Fang Shuo.
It is rumored that the White Tiger Battle Armor was a battle armor transformed from the remaining shell of the White Tiger after the true body of the White Tiger fell in the Western Continent 10,000 years ago. When he was a teenager, the war king He Chang'an once entered the Yellow Sand Sea alone and did not return for six days. When the search team for He Changan had lost hope, he appeared from the distant sand dunes. At that time, He Chang'an, who had not even entered the realm of divine revelation, was carrying the head of a Supreme Venerable in his hand. He also had an extra piece of white armor on his body.
He Chang'an had worn the White Tiger Battle Armor to fight several times, but not too many people witnessed the specific battle situation, because none of the people who entered the 100 zhang range around the War King survived. After the war, people can only look at the corpses on the ground that have been cut into pieces and imagine the tragic scene at that time.
However, after the Battle of Aonogahara, there was finally more information about the White Tiger Battle Armor, and it began to spread all over the world.
It is a living thing.
This armor is extremely tough, and the blade of King Xing's iron and noble cannot split it. When Fang Shuo's long knife broke through the armor of the Northern Yan Iron Rider, the White Tiger Battle Armor immediately devoured the spurting blood, instantly recovered, and then began to change. With his arms on his shoulders and his back on his knees, Fang Shuo's whole body was full of blades, and his body continued to grow. At the same time, the murderous aura on the battlefield was captured by him, and the more the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry fought, the more frightened he became. In less than a moment, Fang Shuo had become a monster with the body of a two-legged tiger.
A group of Xingjun warriors wearing black iron armor were cut into pieces by the blades born from Fang Shuo's arms, and he swept through most of the sheep path alone.
In the end, the sharp blade of the white tiger cut off the head of King Tiegui of Xingjun.
After this battle, Fang Shuo, who has been famous for more than 20 years, finally won the name of the Tiger King.
......
At the turn of the night on October 12, the wind came from the southwest, and the King of Wind Demons, Iron Burning Thorn, rushed back to Aonohara.
In the area of Mangniu Ridge below, the remnants of the light cavalry of Xianshan are fleeing to the north. The banner of the Dongzhou army stretched for dozens of miles, and in the 10,000 torches lit, it marched towards the east as a whole.
Three thousand zhang in the air, the iron burning thorn dissolved the wind demon and began to fall.
His speed gradually increased until he became a comet.
On the broken stream post, Liang Qianhe, the king of Liang, spread out a volume of secret reports.
As he swept the last line of words on the scroll, the sword in Iron Burning Thorn's hand pierced his chest. A mortal body cannot withstand such an attack.
Almost at the same time, King Liang raised his hand and stopped the guards and warlocks who were about to rush forward.
In the history books, Liang Qianhe's last words to Tie Ran Thorn before his death were recorded.
"Look at the West, look at the West!"
......
Until the evening of October 13, on the Aono Plain, both sides of the war withdrew their weapons.
Two days later, the whole army of Dongzhou withdrew, and Xingjun did not do anything to stop it.
The Battle of Qingnoyuan ended with the fall of King Tiegui and King Liang Qianhe of Liang.
In this battle, Dongzhou and Xingjun both made every effort, not counting the logistics troops, and the two sides spread out a huge formation of nearly 25 cavalry and 400,000 infantry on the Qingye Plain, with a total number of casualties of nearly 200,000.
In contrast, Xingjun has suffered a lot of damage, and almost all the main forces have been hit hard. Only the elite Northern Yan Iron Cavalry of the Tie Clan still retained 15,000 people, but the commanders of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry, Tie Ao Duo and Tie Tai Zhan were all killed in battle, and the Xingjun King Tie Gui also fell, leaving only the King of the Wind Demon Iron Burning Thorn to preside over the situation.
The remaining military strength in Dongzhou is relatively intact, and the infantry battle columns have basically been preserved. However, the cavalry of the Tiger Ben Army lost nearly seventy percent, and the Qilin Wei also lost nearly 20,000 people in the battle against the black iron armament of the Northern Yan Iron Cavalry.
And the most significant loss lies in King Liang and Liang Qianhe.
Born in cloth clothes, until he was crowned by the world as the king of the town army, Shenzhou strategists are unsurpassed.
In his life, he never held a sword, but he was the best at killing.
When the news of his death spread all over China, countless people celebrated with their crowns, and countless people hid their faces and wept.
After that, people regarded the fall of Liang Qianhe, the king of Liang, as the second end of the mortal era in the human world.
......
The smoke of gunfire on the Aono Plains suddenly cleared, and even after many years, there were still many difficult questions to solve.
Whether it is contemptuous or admirable, those swords and swords flashing in the fog of history, drums and horns, there are many corners, and they can no longer be seen clearly.
Later, the historian inadvertently got some new accounts of this period.
That war-torn era was recorded in the form of fragments after fragments in the letters of three people.
The scenes, stories, intrigues, heroism, and reflections in those letters fill in many gaps in this history.
And the ideas that people in the world have in it are different.
