Chapter 262: Divine Army
After this round of head-to-head confrontation between the cavalry of the two sides, Li Yuan's 10,000 guards cavalry battalion suffered extremely heavy losses, with nearly 8,000 casualties, and only less than 2,000 cavalry scattered and fled back.
Li Yuan, who was in command in the back, was extremely shocked, and he never thought that the 10,000 cavalry he had been building up for a long time would be so vulnerable, and he didn't expect that the Shiziling army was also equipped with a special weapon for breaking the cavalry team, the hook and sickle. As a result, their original superiority in strength suddenly ceased to exist, the encirclement had been broken, and their morale had been dealt a heavy blow.
In desperation, Li Yuan could only wave the order to let the remaining 20,000 troops and horses regroup in formation, hoping to regroup and make a comeback as soon as possible.
However, Shi Ziling's special attack division had already been adjusted in place, and after repelling the cavalry of Li Yuan's guards, although Shi Ziling's side also lost hundreds of cavalry, it was really insignificant compared to the opponent's more than 8,000 cavalry plus nearly 2,000 infantry casualties.
Shi Ziling quickly adjusted the formation back to the ideal mode, still composed of martial arts masters, with arrows protruding from the front, while the special attack cavalry team with strong impact kept a distance behind, and the infantry battalion of the brigade followed closely behind the cavalry. At this time, Li Yuan's remaining 20,000 horses were regrouping, and they had not yet fully lined up.
Shi Ziling raised the Zhangba spear in his hand, carried the demon voice outside the sky and shouted: "Now start to advance head-on, rush to ......"
With Shi Ziling's order, the special attack division, which had once again recovered to the strongest formation, launched a frontal attack on the opposite Li Yuan Guards.
On the lookout tower of Black Dragon City, Xiahou Yuan's father and son and Bai Wuya, who had been paying attention to the battle situation under the city, were all excited to see it. When Shi Ziling initially waved his hand to signal the special attack cavalry battalion outside the encirclement to charge, they were still quite worried, not knowing whether the special attack division could successfully break through, but to their surprise, the infantry battalion of the special attack division, which was originally divided into ten groups and was trapped in the encirclement, quickly assembled in place, and began to break through in the direction of Black Dragon City.
At first, Xiahou Yuan's father and son couldn't understand it, and they thought that Shi Ziling was really going to retreat into Black Dragon City, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to prepare for the opening of the city. Unbeknownst to him, the special attack division immediately turned around after breaking through the encirclement, and quickly separated a passage to allow his special cavalry battalion to pass smoothly, thus launching an attack with Li Yuan's guards cavalry battalion.
Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but admire: "Ziling's special attack division combination is so fast that I have only seen it in my life, but it only completed the entire process from breaking out of the encirclement to turning to charge in a short period of time, and also annihilated the opponent's more than 2,000 infantry by the way. You can see the degree of tacit understanding with their infantry battalion to make way for their cavalry team, which is really breathtaking, and it looks like they are going to compete with Li Yuan's cavalry team head-on. ”
Xiahou Feiyang said excitedly: "The turning point has finally come! When it comes to the frontal impact of the cavalry, the cavalry of Li Yuan's guards is still inferior to our Yanyun Legion, not to mention the special attack cavalry against Ziling. In my opinion, after this round of charges, it is entirely possible for the special attack division to further narrow the gap in strength between the two sides. ”
The development of the battle situation after that was as Xiahou Feiyang expected, the special attack cavalry battalion launched a cavalry charge battle with the enemy with an indomitable momentum, and quickly gained the upper hand by virtue of its comprehensive superiority in equipment, formation arrangement, and speed and impact.
What surprised Xiahou Yuan and his son even more was that the infantry battalion that followed closely behind used the hook and sickle to inflict heavy damage on the enemy's war horses. Seeing the scene of the cavalrymen of Li Yuan's guards falling to the ground one after another on their backs, the three people on the lookout couldn't help but applaud loudly.
Xiahou Yuan exclaimed: "The distance between the special attack infantry battalion and the cavalry team is really well maintained, and the timing of their timely follow-up is just right, which greatly expands the effect of the special attack cavalry charge. ”
On the other hand, although Li Yuan's side also re-dispatched the hook team, it was difficult to arrive in time, showing an obvious speed gap. By the time the cavalry of the special attack division had turned their horses and started the second charge, these hook teams were late, and they became a burden to the defeat of their own cavalry. ”
Sure enough, the special attack cavalry battalion once again inflicted heavy losses on the enemy's cavalry in the second charge launched by the turnaround, and when this round of charge was over, Li Yuan's guards cavalry battalion lost more than eighty percent, and Xiahou Yuan and his son were also dumbfounded.
Xiahou Yuan muttered: "One round of charge can actually annihilate more than 8,000 enemies, and in one fell swoop the gap between the two sides' forces has basically flattened, and the special attack division has almost achieved the ultimate in terms of equipment, formation and impact power, and Li Yuan's guards are far inferior only in the speed of dispatching combinations." It's horrible, it's horrible!"
Bai Wuya smiled and asked, "Terrible, who are you talking about?"
Xiahou Feiyang hurriedly replied: "Of course, the special attack division of Zhiziling is too terrifying! A legion of more than 15,000 people can make such a precise and rapid deployment combination when facing battle, and every change of formation is extremely accurate and completely executes the commander's will in place, and the speed is so fast, the formation is well maintained, and the resoluteness of execution is simply breathtaking. Such a legion is simply not a human army, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a divine army!"
"God Army, God Army, Ha Lu Ha ......"
Bai Wuya looked up to the sky and said with a smile: "What a divine army! My good son-in-law is really good! Such a divine army can only be trained by my good son-in-law, and now even I can see that Li Yuan's guards are about to end......!
Xiahou Fei raised his eyebrows and said: "Then it goes without saying! After this round of breakthrough and killing, Li Yuan's guards lost a total of more than 10,000 people, and only 2,000 of the remaining 20,000 military horses were cavalry, or the remnants of the soldiers who had just been defeated. The special attack division of Ziling lost less than 1,000 people, and now the strength of the two sides is very close, and in terms of morale and combat power, it is even more incomparable, and Li Yuan's guards want to stop Ziling's special attack division, I am afraid that it is impossible. ”
Xiahou Yuan said: "You see, Ziling has changed formations again! Well, this time they put the cavalry battalion in the middle and the infantry battalion in the rear. It's really fast, it's really fast! Li Yuan's 20,000 horses have not yet been able to reassemble in place, and the special attack division has already adjusted to launch a frontal attack, and this time it is a real frontal decisive battle!"
After quickly eliminating Li Yuan's guards of nearly 10,000 people, Shi Ziling's special attack division was even more demoralized, and they formed the strongest attack formation at the fastest speed, rushing towards the front of the enemy formation.
At this time, Li Yuan's men and horses were still a little confused, and the cavalry battalion that retreated back was still a little frightened, and the five hundred hook scratchers who were originally used to deal with the special attack cavalry battalion found themselves at the forefront of the whole army at this time, but the opponent in front of them had already been replaced by a special attack arrow team composed of five hundred martial arts masters of the special attack division.
Li Yuan waved his flag and shouted as he tried his best to make his guards line up in a defensive formation as soon as possible, although he had already ordered the hook team to quickly recover, but after all, his order transmission was not as straightforward as Shi Ziling's extraterrestrial demon sound, and the speed of his guards was also different. In particular, the hook team that fell at the forefront was obviously unable to retreat, and encountered a ruthless blow from the special assault team.
These hook scratchers are specially used to deal with the cavalry of the special attack division, their own martial arts strength is very limited, and they encountered the strongest arrow commando in the special attack division, the result is naturally conceivable, and most of them were killed and injured quickly, and the rest had to drop the hook lasso in their hands and run away desperately when they saw that the situation was not good.
The special assault team took advantage of the victory to pursue, and like a sharp sword, it was inserted into the formation of Li Yuan's guards that had not yet been completely arranged. Their martial arts strength and marching speed are the strongest among the special attack divisions, and the spacing between them is extremely reasonable, each holding a double sword that is conducive to assault, and after breaking into the enemy formation, they are almost invincible, and soon break the enemy formation through a gap.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Yuan immediately dispatched his Tongtian Sect experts to intercept him. However, by the time these Tongtian Sect's martial arts masters arrived, the arrowhead commandos of the Special Attack Division had already scattered and retreated to both sides, and the Special Attack Cavalry Battalion behind had once again launched an unstoppable charge.
The spear and machete of the special assault cavalry battalion's collective charge tactics were extremely powerful, even those Tongtian Sect masters with higher individual martial arts strength were difficult to stop, and they were quickly killed and retreated to the side, and the formation that had already broken through a gap was immediately split under the fierce impact of the special assault cavalry battalion after these Tongtian Sect masters were killed and retreated.
For a while, the position of Li Yuan's guards was in chaos, no matter how much Li Yuan shouted hoarsely, it was useless, and the entire formation became more and more scattered under the continuous impact of the special attack cavalry battalion, and the various teams that lost the protection of the formation were soon besieged and killed by the special attack infantry battalion that followed closely.
Li Yuan couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the situation was out of control, jumped up from his horse and jumped into the formation, wanting to personally stop the momentum of the special attack cavalry battalion. However, when he rushed to the front of the special cavalry battalion with a few ups and downs, when the first person rushed towards him with a spear, and at the beginning of the spear in his hand, countless gun shadows swept in with the cold energy, and it was Shi Ziling who killed it himself.
Li Yuan roared, and the heavy sword in his hand slashed down, hitting the tip of the spear, and both of them were violently shocked.
Shi Ziling said with a smile: "Sect Leader Li, now that the sergeants of both sides of you and I are fighting fiercely, and we need to command and dispatch on the spot, why is Sect Leader Li so impetuous, and he will take action in person so quickly?"
Li Yuanzhi said that his guards had been completely confused under the impact of the opponent at this time, and if he calmly commanded and dispatched the special attack division by Shi Ziling, he was afraid that it would be defeated even faster. He shouted in a deep voice: "Shi Ziling, you and I will have to fight sooner or later, why don't you fight for life and death at this time?"
