Chapter 60: This Is No Longer a Battle
However, their pace of rushing forward was not as overwhelming, because of the strength of the ice field, they were able to break through the first layer of defense, but after penetrating deep into the Northern Territory Army, their actions were immediately blocked.

The formation advantage of the Northern Regions Army was able to be brought into play quickly, and the cooperation between the battalions was intimate, disconnecting the cavalry from countless sections.
The 10,000 cavalry were submerged in it like a mud cow entering the sea, and the formation had been divided, and under the breakdown one by one, it was naturally not the opponent of the Northern Regions Army.
However, Bingyuan was an accident, his strength was no longer in the scope of this ordinary battle, and it was only because of personal preference that he rushed to the forefront.
But he also felt strained, because more and more masters of the Northern Regions Army were rushing towards this side, which obviously made him feel the pressure.
Taking advantage of the gap in the attack, glancing back, the glacier stood at the highest point and waved the flag, and finally gave the order to retreat.
Without hesitation, the ice field forced everyone away with one move, urging the glacier hippo under the seat to retreat to the rear, and the big sword turned into a huge sword with a length of twenty-five or six zhang in his hand, and the people who blocked it were invincible.
In such a short period of an hour, the Northern Army suffered a large number of casualties, most of them at the hands of the ice field, but their deaths were not worthless.
The 10,000 cavalry rushed to kill so far, and only less than half of them remained, which can be said to be a heavy loss, compared to the damage of the Northern Regions Army, it was only between five and five.
Icefield took the lead, breaking out of the encirclement, following the cavalry behind him, and finally there were less than 4,000 men left, stumbling back in the direction they came.
Bingyuan looked at the embarrassed brother behind him, and spat out a turbid breath in his heart, you wait for Lao Tzu, next time, Lao Tzu will definitely lead troops to kill all of you.
Pang Tong stood up, the order flag in his hand was also waved one after another, the formation of the Northern Regions Army changed, and a team of more than 50,000 people withdrew from the center and withdrew from the battlefield.
"Glacier, how are you looking? Niang's battle is too bad, can you carry out a general attack?" Bingyuan asked as soon as he returned, obviously still angry.
Glacier pointed to the retreating tens of thousands of Northern Territory troops, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "I'm sure that they are using the empty city strategy, hum, that team of 50,000 Northern Regions troops must be going to get their heavy weapons, Pang Tong is really smart, knowing that we are a temptation, and the next thing is the most direct attack, so we will go back to get heavy weapons immediately, of course we will not give them this opportunity." β
A military advisor's face was slightly hesitant: "Marshal, is it a little hasty, you see that although they are in the exercise, when our team appeared, they were obviously prepared and quickly entered the combat state, there must be fraud in this." β
Bingyuan laughed and said, "If they hadn't been prepared, I wouldn't have fought this battle." β
Then he looked at the military advisor and said: "They are prepared, so they are more sure that it is an empty city plan, Pang Tong expected that I would send troops to attack and test, so in order to avoid too many casualties, this will be exposed, their heavy weapons are not far away, we don't have much time, once all the heavy weapons are in place, our warrior casualties will be even more heavy." β
"Marshal, please!" the two military advisors bowed at the same time.
"Big brother, this time, you are still the vanguard, but what I give you is no longer 10,000 cavalry, but all 80,000 cavalry, all of which are under your control. Glacier said solemnly.
Bingyuan was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't even care about resting, waving the middle of his hand, and laughing: "Sons, follow me to kill!"
Immediately, 80,000 cavalry, in fact, plus the previous losses, but only more than 70,000 people remained, under the leadership of the ice field, rushed towards Pang Tong's side.
"Marshal, they've launched a general attack!" reminded the strategist beside him, clenching his fists.
Pang Tong nodded slightly: "Wait a little longer, what I want is not only their cavalry, but also the infantry must be left for me." β
This time, the ice field did not soar to the extreme, but maintained a distance from the infantry, and the infantry of the Holy Star Clan also moved forward very quickly.
With their strong bodies, their speed is much slower than that of the glacier hippos, but they are much stronger than the soldiers of the Northern Regions Army.
When the cavalry led by Bingyuan was only about 100 zhang away from the Northern Regions Army, it stopped, this distance was just suitable for the cavalry's charging distance, 100 zhang, enough for the glacier hippo to charge the speed to the extreme.
The ice field did not attack, this is what the glacier told him, the connection between the cavalry and the infantry must not be broken, and it must be maintained at a stable distance in order to be able to take care of each other.
The infantry finally arrived, they stood in unison behind the cavalry, the momentum was shocking, although the weapons and armor did not look so eye-catching, but the black pressure still made people look at a lot of pressure on the senses.
"Big brother, charge!" Glacier nodded as he looked at the ice field.
Bingyuan laughed and slapped the ass of the icehippopotamus below: "Brothers, kill-"
In an instant, the speed of more than 70,000 cavalry soared, and the snowflakes splashed, looking full of might.
The infantry did not sit idle, and followed closely in the footsteps of the cavalry, although they were pulled away, but they did not actually leave the range of the attack.
"The whole army is ready!" Pang Tong frowned, his arms raised high, and all the battalion commanders immediately became enthusiastic, and the soldiers moved individually, the range was very small, and the movements were very slight.
Fifty zhang, thirty zhang, twenty zhangββ
Just when the cavalry led by Bingyuan was less than twenty zhang away from them, Pang Tong's raised arm suddenly fell.
Almost at the same time, the tents that surrounded the camp were uncovered, revealing rows of giant crossbows that shimmered with a cold light.
"Release!" The giant crossbow with the thickness of the arm is the nemesis of these cavalry, and the soldiers of the Northern Regions Army, who have already been prepared, have joined forces to pull the giant crossbow away, and rows of crossbow arrows have shot over.
The cavalry in front immediately turned on their backs.
The firing distance of this giant crossbow can reach fifty zhang, and at this moment, those cavalry have all entered the range of attack.
The dense mass of giant crossbow arrows seemed to be harvesters on the battlefield, and the cavalry galloping on the glacier fell in pieces like wheat harvesting.
Bingyuan's face changed drastically, and his figure suddenly jumped high, and the big sword turned into a terrifying light curtain and swayed out, resisting all the waves of crossbow arrows.
It's just that before he had time to perform his second move, a figure flew up into the sky, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the sharp sword qi immediately enveloped him in it.
The deputy head of the Immortal Sword Sect, in the Northern Regions Army, the master who can compete with the ice field, except for Pang Tong, only he can do it.
Pang Tong also has to command the whole army to fight, so this time, he can only take action to resist the terrifying strength of the ice field.
The second blow that Ice Yuan was about to send turned into a resistance momentum, and immediately fought fiercely with the deputy head of the Immortal Sword Sect, Sword Chasing Cloud.
The two masters fought higher and higher, and they actually flew into the sky, and the terrifying power spread wildly around, and the battle became a draw for a while, and no one could help anyone.
However, the cavalry team that had lost the protection of the ice field was hit like never before, and the huge crossbow arrows seemed to be endless, and under Pang Tong's deliberate arrangement, a total of five waves were prepared.
After all the five waves of crossbows were fired, there were more than 70,000 cavalry, and not even half of them remained.
Glacier gritted his teeth, his face became very ugly, and before he could even take a picture, the cavalry had already suffered huge losses, which he could no longer afford.
However, he did not give the order to retreat.
After the opponent's five waves of bows and crossbows were fired, there was no way to continue, the formation changed, and finally the most direct collision was about to be carried out.
Whether he can turn the tide can only depend on whether this close battle can achieve the final victory, so the glacier will not retreat, because only in this way can he wash away all his shame.
The remaining cavalry, which had weakened a lot in momentum, rushed into the formation that the opponent had already prepared, but did not achieve the results that should have been achieved.
Subsequently, the glacier finally appeared, leading 140,000 infantry to swarm up, and hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides were finally entangled at this moment.
