Chapter 64
It took three days for the Sanshui army to reach the city of Tia from Vaal Town, but now they marched lightly and returned to the vicinity of Vaal Town in less than two days.
There were still about twenty miles away from Vaal Town, and the road ahead was blocked by a Duki army of tens of thousands of people, which was the 30,000 men led by Ed Azabao stationed in Vaal Town.
After the battle with the main force of the Duki army, although the Sanshui Army suffered heavy casualties, there were still as many as 60,000 soldiers in battle, which was not something that Ed Azabao's 30,000 people could resist, but he was not worried, after all, the Sanshui Army came from a long distance, and it was tired up and down, and there was still the main force of his own army behind it, so he was now fearless.
Liang Qi personally looked at the Duji army on the opposite side, and saw that the enemy did not have many troops, but he was very well prepared, and the front of the camp had erected an earthen wall more than half a person high early. He did not rush to order the attack, so that the whole army stopped advancing and rested in place, it seems that he hoped to wait for the Duki army to take the initiative to attack.
The Sanshui Army does not fight, and Ed Azabao will not fight, he knows very well in his heart that the more it drags on, the more beneficial it will be for his side, and it is best to drag it until the main army of his side behind the Sanshui Army pursues and kills, and at that time, his own side will attack from both sides, how can the Wind Army still be undefeated?
The two sides were two miles apart, and no one took the initiative to attack, so they went on face to face.
Ed Azabao thought that he was in control of the victory, but who would have thought that when he was confronting the Sanshui Army, there were more than a dozen Dookie cavalrymen galloping in the rear, some of them were generals, some were ordinary soldiers, but they were all covered in blood, and they kept whipping the horse's buttocks while urging the horses to gallop.
When they rushed into the camp of the Duki army and saw Ed Azabao, more than a dozen people dismounted, and several of them could not stand up after dismounting, and collapsed to the ground, unable to move, snorting and panting wildly. Ed Azabao looked around at the crowd, his eyes fell on the general among them, and asked sharply, "Stewart, what are you doing here instead of guarding Vaal Town?"
"General!" the Duki general threw himself on his knees, and before he could speak, snot and tears flowed out first, and he said with a crying voice: "Just ...... The town of Vaal was raided by a large number of wind troops, and our brothers were outnumbered, and all of them ...... All killed......"
This sentence seemed to Ed Azabau as if it were five thunderbolts, and he strode forward, grabbed the collar armor of General Dookie, lifted it upward, and shouted with twisted features: "What did you say?
"Yes...... Yes yes, the general ......"
"Where is the enemy?"
"I ...... I don't know ...... either."
Ed Azabao was so shocked and furious that he couldn't cut the general with a single sword. The main force of the wind army was obviously on the opposite side, where did the wind army that sneak attack Vaal Town come from? Why didn't he get any news? He really couldn't understand it, and he was stunned for a long time, and then pushed the general away, and stood in place for a long time, speechless.
Their 30,000 soldiers' baggage, grain and grass were hoarded in Vaal Town, and the loss of Vaal Town not only deprived them of their backing, but also buried all their supplies, which Ed Azabao could not accept under any circumstances.
He was still in shock, and the general named Stewart said urgently: "General, there are many wind troops attacking us, and when I flee the town, the wind army's brigade will also chase them out, and I am afraid it will not be long before we arrive here...... Prepare quickly!"
This is really bad news, the town of Vaal was not only captured by the Wind Army, but also chased and killed, and now it is Ed Azabao's 30,000 Duki army who are under attack, and the situation on the battlefield is changing so rapidly.
There are enemy forces in front and behind, and it is impossible to defend it anymore, so Ed Azabao must make a choice, whether to attack the main force of the Sanshui Army on the opposite side, or turn his head and meet the wind army chasing from the rear. After thinking about it, he still chose the former.
After all, he didn't know anything about the wind army coming from the rear, that is, he didn't know the strength of the troops, and he didn't know what the combat power was, compared to the wind army that appeared mysteriously, he preferred to choose the Sanshui Army as his opponent. His choice is understandable, after all, people are full of fear of mysterious and unknown things, and his choice is also human.
It's just that he chose the strongest opponent.
Under the orders of Ed Azabao, the entire Duki army climbed over the earthen wall, formed a battle formation, and launched an attack on the camp of the Three Water Army.
Seeing that the enemy took the initiative to attack, without the need for spies to report, Liang Qi already knew that it must be the sneak attack of the Sky Eagle Army that was a great success, occupying Vaal Town, and killing from behind the enemy. He perked up and said loudly to the generals around him: "Our reinforcements have arrived, and the enemy is forced to fight.
The soldiers of the Sanshui Army, who were resting on the spot, lined up in a phalanx in a very short time, and at the same time took off their bows and arrows, and the arrows were aimed at the enemy in front of them.
The distance between the two sides was only two miles, which was not far away, and it didn't take long for the Duki army to advance before it came into the range of the wind army. Under Liang Qi's order, the entire Sanshui Army released arrows.
The arrow array of the three water army is urgent and fierce, and continuous, the first wave of arrow array has just been shot out, the second wave of arrow array has taken off, and so the second wave of arrows has flown out, the third wave has come again, after the third wave is finished, the first wave of soldiers who shot out of the arrow array have re-set up the arrows, continue to release arrows, and the three batches of soldiers release arrows in orderly shifts, so that there is no obvious gap between the arrow arrays of the wind army, wave after wave.
In terms of the strength of arrows, the Feng army can match the original Ning army, and now it is more than twice as many troops as the Du Ji army, and the arrow array is even more sharp and ferocious. The corps that rushed to the front of the Duki army didn't even get close to the body of the wind army, but it was only half of the wind army's arrow shots.
On the battlefield, the ground was full of arrows and the corpses of the Duki army, but Ed Azabao still insisted that the whole army continue to advance, and must withstand the arrows of the Wind Army and engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Wind Army. Seeing the heavy losses of the corps in front, Ed Azabao pushed Stewart, who had just been defeated, to the front, and asked him to lead the remaining soldiers of the forward corps to act as a death squad.
Stewart was also ashamed and courageous, and this time he did not escape from the battle again, and desperately led the Duggie soldiers to charge forward. He took the lead in running, and naturally became the primary target of the wind army's attack, thousands of arrows were concentrated on him alone, whistling and flying, and the arrows slammed into the spirit armor on his body, clanging.
No matter how strong the spirit armor was, it couldn't withstand such a fierce arrow shot, and in the blink of an eye, the spirit armor on Stewart's body was full of cracks, and dozens of carved feathers pierced through the spirit armor and nailed deep into his body. Stewart let out a beastly roar with arrows all over his body, but he still staggered forward with his spear in his hand.
This situation was also frightening enough, the wind sergeants standing in front of the queue looked at each other, secretly speechless, and then, people raised their bows and arrows again, aimed at Stewart, who was more than ten meters away, and fired another volley. This time, Stewart's spirit armor was useless, and as long as the arrow came close, it would pierce deep into the flesh.
Stewart, who had run out of oil and worked hard like a hedgehog, finally fell to the ground with all his strength, but the moment he fell to the ground, he still threw the spirit spear in his hand fiercely. The force of his final blow should not be underestimated, and the spear entered the chest of one of the wind soldiers, poking out of his back, narrowly injuring the wind soldier behind him.
Stewart failed to hold the town of Vaal, but in the battle with the Three Waters, the first wind soldier killed by the Dookie army came from his hand, of course, he bought it with his life. Under the arrow array of the Wind Army, Stewart, who has a spirit armor to protect his body, is still like this, and the other Durkie soldiers can be imagined.
Almost all of the entire corps led by the Duki Army were killed by the arrows of the Sanshui Army, and it was not until the Duki Army behind stepped on the top of the corpses of their companions that the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides officially began.
Ed Azabao had never fought with the Wind Army, but he had fought with the Ning Army, thinking that the Wind Army was the same as the Ning Army, but they were good at archery, and once they were in close combat, they would be vulnerable.
As a result, he miscalculated, archery is only an auxiliary skill of the Wind Army, and what the Wind Army is really good at, which makes the enemy deeply fear and tremble, is hand-to-hand combat.
When the Du Ji army was close to the front, the wind army in front immediately put up a heavy shield, and the wind army in the back used the shoulders or shields of the brothers in front as support, set up a halberd, and kept stabbing forward.
As the saying goes, one inch long and one inch strong, the length of the halberd is far better than that of a spear, and it has a sharp and horizontal blade, and a halberd can stab and scratch people, and it is extremely powerful in the corps battle.
The Wind Army's camp has a heavy shield in front of the enemy to withstand the enemy's close body, a halberd in the back keeps stabbing out, and crossbow arrows are shot into the opponent's crowd from time to time, all of which bring great damage to the Duki army.
And in the battle, the camp of the wind army did not stop in place, people kept shouting in unison while fighting, and every time people shouted, they took a step forward, and the whole camp was constantly moving forward.
This is the oppressive tactics of the Three Water Army.
Once the soldiers in the front row of the enemy army are injured and fall to the ground, they will not even have a chance to be dragged away by their companions, and will immediately be swallowed up by the camp pressed by the wind army, or stabbed to death by the wind army, or trampled to death, so that the wind army can not only overwhelm the opponent in momentum, but also destroy the enemy's vital force to the greatest extent.
Ed Azabao was also surprised by the Wind Army's skillful and offensive and defensive style of play in close combat, as a battle-hardened general, he also had a lot of experience, and immediately ordered to send people to act as a death squad to break through the heavy shields on the periphery of the Wind Army.
The red-eyed Du Ji army showed a fierce side, and many Du Ji soldiers completely disregarded their own life and death, and slammed into the wind army's halberd, they were pierced by the wind army's halberd, but it also created an opportunity for the Du Ji army behind, so that a large number of Du Ji soldiers ran to the wind army's heavy shield hands, holding spears high, picking and stabbing.
