Chapter 184: The Hinder

It is said that Li Yitian led the cavalry of the Longya Battalion to attack the Northern Chu army formation, and the Northern Chu army also swarmed without concession at this time. The big melee of hundreds of thousands of people www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion immediately fought outside Mengling City.

Just when the war was in full swing, there was a sudden change in the rear of the Northern Chu army. A mile away from the city gate, numerous potholes suddenly appeared in the ground. And a large number of soldiers poured out of these holes, and they looked like the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

The Northern Chu army on the city wall immediately spotted the enemy, and they shouted loudly to warn their comrades in the battlefield. However, the loud sound of battle made them unable to hear the sound of this side at all, and they were still desperately fighting the enemy.

The few Northern Chu troops at the tail quickly discovered the enemy attacking from behind, because the Eastern Tang Army launched an offensive from behind, and surrounded the Northern Chu army on the battlefield in a flanking attack.

Chu Zhenhai was in the position of the front army, and he did not find out about the riots in the rear army for the first time. And Zhang Meng, who was holding the city in Mengling City, found out about the arrival of the Eastern Tang army at the first time, but he was afraid that the enemy would have other tricks, so he didn't dare to open the city gate and go out to rescue the commander for a while.

"Mingjin withdraws the troops!" Zhang Meng shouted loudly, trying to use this hand to reduce the losses of some of the Northern Chu army. The Northern Chu army was fighting hotly, and suddenly heard the sound of cymbals from Mengling City, and they were all in chaos.

Of course, Chu Zhenhai also heard Zhang Meng's warning, and his heart jumped, thinking that Mengling City had a mistake. When I looked back, I saw the flag fluttering on Mengling City as steady as Mount Tai, so I was relieved. They were on a low terrain and couldn't see what was going on behind them, but the noise caught their attention.

"General, the Eastern Tang Army dug tunnels from the ground and cut off the rear roads of our army. One of the sergeants immediately anxiously reflected the current situation of the rear army.

"Why didn't the Eastern Tang Army dig tunnels in the city this time, but dug outside the city?" a general who embraced Chu Zhenhai immediately asked suspiciously?

Chu Zhenhai realized Long Xiangnan's strategy after thinking about it for a while, and he immediately spoke: "Long Xiangnan, this is going to cut off our back road, so that we can't connect end to end. He must have known that I would use Zhang Meng to defend the city, and Zhang Meng was cautious and focused on the overall situation. He definitely won't send a large army to rescue us and others, but this is just falling for Long Xiangnan's suspicious plan!"

And now Zhang Meng's performance is the same as what Chu Zhenhai said, Zhang Meng has too many scruples, he is afraid that the dragon will attack Mengling City to the south, so he only sent 50,000 infantry to rescue the commander, and the rest of the people stuck to Mengling City.

His approach was indeed right, because he was able to ensure that Mengling City was not lost, but in doing so, it put coach Chu Zhenhai in danger. Chu Zhenhai knew that this was the best choice, after all, the enemy's tricks might be far from being revealed.

At the same time as the Northern Chu army made repeated moves, the Eastern Tang army also operated.

"Lord Captain, the commander's flag order, the cavalry charges!" The flag officer immediately reported to Li Yitian, and the flag officer in the commander's position issued a general order to the four dragon tooth battalion cavalry.

Li Yitian bowed slightly, and with a wave of his giant sword, he shouted: "Rush into battle!"

Under the leadership of Li Yitian, the three thousand iron cavalry began to accelerate in an instant, charging towards the 100,000 Northern Chu army. At the same time, the other three cavalry teams of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion in the remaining positions also launched a charge under the leadership of their respective captains.

The iron hooves roared like a torrent. The cavalry troops led by Li Yitian condensed a red light in the sky, and these lights were invisible to ordinary soldiers, and only a battle formation division like Li Yitian could see the existence of that red light clearly.

Seeing that the ace cavalry of the Eastern Tang army launched a charge, the Northern Chu army also immediately responded.

"Gun array!" At the sound of the order, countless two-zhang spears that specialized in dealing with cavalry stabbed forward like a forest, and from a distance, there were spears everywhere that could not be approached.

"Archers prepare!" When the cavalry led by Li Yitian had not yet entered the attack range, the Northern Chu army had already prepared to deal with it.

"Rush! Kill!" In the face of the unbreakable restraint formation, the Dragon Tooth Battalion did not retreat, the enemy was retreating, if it could not form an effective containment, the distance of several miles would be instantaneous, and the enemy would be able to enter Mengling City safely.

"Arrow formation!" The cavalry team quickly changed formation, forming a sharp arrow formation that was conducive to charging.

Li Yitian straddled Huang Mao's back, and he urged the battle formation master's secret method to quickly condense the battle intent scattered in the air. A blood-colored dragon slowly formed in the air, and the two warring sides did not seem to notice this change, at this time they only thought about quickly eliminating the opponent, and other things could be put aside.

"Shoot the arrows!" The archers of the Northern Chu army immediately threw their arrows, and the locusts crossed the border and attacked the cavalry ranks.

"Roar~!" With an earth-shattering roar, the Bloodtooth Dragon rushed angrily, shaking its head and tail to block the arrows it fired. It actually formed a layer of tight protection for the knights to resist the attrition of the enemy.

Seeing this scene, the cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion were all more courageous, and with the protection of the soldiers' souls, they were more able to let go of their hands and feet to kill the enemy.

These sergeants of the Northern Chu Army and the Dragon Tooth Battalion naturally saw this scene, and while they were shocked, the person who knew the soul of the soldier surrendered in fear. The horror of the soldier's soul often makes these ordinary soldiers powerless to resist, and the enemy will kill them when they are terrified.

"Gun array!" a loud shout suppressed the situation of the riot in the Northern Chu army, and the well-trained soldiers who were usually well-trained immediately straightened their spears. The rigors of training day in and day out have made them reflexive, and they are all quick to react.

Facing Rulin's spear, Li Yitian was the first to kill it. The giant sword in his hand slashed countless spears with a swing, and the cavalry behind him surged like a tide, tearing open a wide hole in the opponent's originally tight gun formation.

"Boom!" The powerful impact made these spearmen with long weapons like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and when they were close to them, they lost all means of attack, and the knights of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion used their weapons to quickly harvest the lives of the enemy.

The merciless iron hooves trampled the flesh and blood, and the screams came and went. The lives of the soldiers of the Northern Chu Army were quickly harvested, but Li Yitian continued to penetrate deep into the enemy army without stopping, and their task was to charge into battle, not to slaughter.

Now what Li Yitian and they have to do is to disrupt the retreating footsteps of the enemy army, forming an effective diversion effect, so that the follow-up infantry can start fighting.

"Don't be in love with battle, charge at full speed!" General Li Yitian ordered, and the knights of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion quickly continued to attack the enemy's interior. At this time, they had only one purpose, and that was to cut through the enemy formation.

The Northern Chu army obviously also saw the other party's attack, and they saw through the purpose of the Eastern Tang Army at a glance. Countless foot soldiers hurriedly stepped forward with their weapons brandished, trying to stop the enemy's attack.

"Stop them!" the enemy general Gao Sheng shouted, and countless soldiers followed one after another, the soldiers in front fell, and the soldiers in the back immediately replenished again.

Li Yitian brandished a giant sword and rode first, and all the soldiers who wanted to stop him were killed with a single sword. The knights who followed closely behind saw that the main general was so brave, and they all exerted their strength to repel all the enemy troops.

At the same time that countless soldiers died, a cool aura gathered around Li Yitian, and because the number was too large, Li Yitian realized it. The feeling of a chill in his back made Li Yitian feel a burst of hair.

"This is, the Yin Soul has gathered around me? The souls of these soldiers who have just been killed are stronger than ordinary people, if they are gathered, they should be a very powerful force!" Li Yitian quickly realized the root of the matter, these soldiers who are stronger than ordinary people, their souls are also much stronger.

If he could really gather these souls and let Li Yitian use the secret method to refine, then his strength would definitely be enhanced again. But now that he is on the battlefield, he simply does not have time to do these things, and he must now lead the army to rush out.

If he is trapped in the military formation for a long time, his knights will definitely be consumed, even if he is strong himself.

At this time, a large group of Eastern Tang sergeants had already emerged in the cave behind the camp of the Northern Chu army, and while they quickly attacked from behind, they successfully resisted the reinforcements that appeared in Mengling City.

The situation on the scene became more and more chaotic, and Zhang Meng saw that coach Chu Zhenhai was besieged at this time, and his heart was also very anxious. I had the heart to give up Mengling City to rush to help Chu Zhenhai, but I remembered the coach's instructions when he left.

Mengling City must not be lost! Northern Chu comfort system and a city!

Just as Zhang Meng was making a difficult choice, drums suddenly sounded outside the city gates on the other three sides, and puffs of smoke and dust rose from the woods outside.

"It's not good, the Eastern Tang army is attacking the city in a big way!" the soldiers at the head of the city shouted in panic, and the messenger quickly passed the information to Zhang Meng.

"Send the four gates, immediately hold the city!"

"Mingjin retreats!" Zhang Meng gave another order, he wanted to recruit back the 50,000 soldiers who were rushing outside the city. As for Chu Zhenhai's safety, there will be no danger for a while with 100,000 troops guarding him.

The rapid charge of the four cavalry of the Dragon's Tooth Battalion, although it paid a great price, also successfully cut through the 100,000 army of Northern Chu. Now, even if Chu Zhenhai of Northern Chu wants to withdraw to the city, he will definitely pay a heavy price.

Chu Zhenhai obviously knew this, and after seeing that the enemy blocked the back road, Chu Zhenhai decisively did not choose to retreat, but led the army to break through to the right flank.

"General, the Northern Chu army broke through to the right flank. The messenger immediately reported Long to the south.

"Yes, that's right. Pass the order, don't rush to remedy the gap in the right flank, let them break through!" Long Xiangnan said calmly, as if everything was under his control. (To be continued.) )
