Zhang Zhidong stood in place, his eyes widened, and his face was incredulous.

If I'm not mistaken.

The only heavy cavalry of the Qianguo, the Xuanjia cavalry, had followed Bai Qi to the Zhou State.

So.

Where did these hoplites come from?

"Could it be that the prime minister of Qianguo secretly created more than 3,000 Xuanjia cavalry?"

As soon as this idea came out, Zhang Zhidong was shocked into a cold sweat.

As far as he knew, the Xuanjia cavalry was strong in combat and was not weaker than the Dayan Iron Cavalry.

Charge up, like a moving castle.

At this moment.

Without the slightest preparation, the soldiers could not resist at all.

It is no exaggeration to say.

If the opposite side is really a Xuanjia cavalry, and he charges at this time, his army of 100,000 is no different from the lamb to be slaughtered!

"Damn it!"

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhidong's heart beat violently.

He looked at the guards beside him, and without the slightest hesitation, let out a roar:

"Gather the troops! Get ready to meet the enemy! ”

When the guard heard the voice, he hurriedly responded: "Yes! ”

A dozen guards got on their horses and ran towards the scattered soldiers, trying to gather the stragglers.

It's just that the efficiency is extremely low.

Not for a while.

The soldiers of the Yan army also noticed the movement in the distance.

"What's that?!"

Everyone looked at the "iron tower" shrouded in smoke and dust, and their faces showed horror.

Meanwhile.

The sound of horses' hooves, like a drumbeat urging for life, slammed heavily on their hearts.

"Tiger!"

Suddenly!

Between the yellow sand that covered the sky and the sun, there was a low roar!

Uniform, huge!

Like a hammer, it smashed into the hearts of the Yan soldiers!

Moment.

Hundreds of soldiers were so frightened that their legs went limp and they almost collapsed to the ground.

I have just experienced the devastation of "Kun".

The will to fight was already low.

At this moment, in the face of a sudden attack, they all lost the idea of fighting back.

Stand still and don't know what to do.

Only a small part of the elite reacted.

At the general's reminder, return to the camp, pick up your weapons, and prepare to meet the enemy.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer.

The soldiers' hearts were beating faster and faster.

The smoke and dust gradually cleared.

The true face of the one who came out.

From people to horses, they were all covered by dark iron armor, leaving only a pair of eyes, flashing with a deep light, like a messenger from purgatory, constantly advancing.

One by one, falling into the eyes of the Yan soldiers, flashed with cold light.

"It's a hoplite!"

Finally.

The Yan soldiers realized that the attacking enemy was far more terrifying than they imagined, and their faces showed panic.

Right now.

There was a panicked yell from the crowd.

"Run!"

Followed by.

Thousands of soldiers, as if they had lost their souls, ran away, not daring to stop at all.

Countless soldiers, in order to escape from this purgatory-like place, threw away the light armor on their bodies while running.

"Kill!"

A shout!

The tower-like Xuanjia cavalry rushed into the crowd and slaughtered all directions!

Under the blood-colored morning glow.

A thick fishy smell mixed with pungent gunpowder smoke diffused in the air.

Countless wails bloomed in the wind.

Hideous faces, bloody swords, low roars, smoke and dust.

The near-one-sided massacres continued.

The tragic breath is getting stronger and stronger.

Zhang Zhidong looked at everything that happened in front of him in a daze, stunned.

A few breaths later.

He came back from his trance, his eyes were bloody, his expression became hideous, he clenched the long knife in his hand tightly, and roared loudly: "Someone! Kill with General Ben! ”

Several guards beside him saw this scene and hurriedly grabbed him.

"General, the general trend has gone, let's withdraw!"

"Yes! Checkmate! Where there is life, there is hope! ”

Several guards looked anxiously persuading.

Now.

Zhang Zhidong's eyes showed despair.

The sad emotions surged up from the bottom of my heart and swept through my body in an instant.

He gritted his teeth and said in a lamented voice: "Because I led the army unfavorably and buried 100,000 troops, even if I survive, what kind of face do I have to go to General Ban and Your Majesty!" ”

When the guards heard this, their hearts sank, and they hurriedly persuaded: "General, we haven't lost yet!" The opponent is not numerous, as long as he retreats fast enough, he can still save most of his strength! ”

"As long as the person is still around, he can make a comeback!"

"The general must not think about it!"

Several guards worked together to persuade them.

Zhang Zhidong's mood finally eased a little.

Seeing this, several guards hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him onto the war horse.

Immediately afterward, escorting him, he ran towards the rear and escaped from this human purgatory.

The other side.

Five thousand Xuanjia cavalry have slaughtered a group of Yan troops who resisted stubbornly!

"The prime minister has an order! Thirty miles of pursuit! ”

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

Order.

The cavalrymen in heavy armor adjusted their state, rode their horses and galloped, chasing the fleeing Yan army.

The chase lasted thirty miles.

In the end.

The armor cavalry and the war horses under the crotch were all dyed red.

Even the toughest warriors were tired.

Thirty miles away.

Every two steps, there was the corpse of a Yan soldier.

Zhang Zhidong's 100,000 Yan army, after this battle, lost more than half of it, and was no longer able to besiege the city.

Night.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkled on the ground, bringing some peace to the Yan soldiers who had escaped death.

At this moment.

They felt that all the strength of their bodies had been drained, like mud, and they collapsed to the ground, their expressions dazed and their movements numb.

Before coming to Qianguo.

They never imagined that one day, they would end up like this.

In their eyes.

The Qianren are just a group of cowardly cattle and sheep, not much blood at all, and their combat power is not as good as those heavily armed pirates.

As long as you follow in the footsteps of General Ban, it won't take long to take the three states in the north of Qianguo, and the troops have been coming to Chang'an to force Bai Qi to come back to help.

But.

In less than half a month, the dry people who originally thought they were like cattle and sheep gave them a heavy blow!

A whole hundred thousand!

Under the surprise attack of the dry people, there was no power to fight back.

abandoned everything and fled for dozens of miles in embarrassment before he picked up a life.

For Sergeant Yan, this is a shame that cannot be washed away!

But.

While feeling shame, they are also overshadowed by fear.

Remembering everything that happened during the day.

They don't have the courage to fight again.

Don't talk about them.

Even Zhang Zhidong completely dispelled the idea of fighting back.

At this moment.

He sat down on the ground.

Beside him were more than a dozen guards who had been following, all of them looking exhausted.

"General, where are you going next?"

A guard looked at Zhang Zhidong and asked.

Although they have already run dozens of miles.

But no one knows whether those frenzied cadres will continue to pursue.

So, staying where you are, sitting still, definitely not working.

Either rest for a while, continue on the road, and return to Yan Kingdom.

Either gather the remnants, camp on the spot, wait for the enemy, and counterattack.

There is no doubt that the first of the two options is more reliable.

Zhang Zhidong was silent for a while, as if he was exhausted, and said in a weak voice: "Pass on the order of General Ben, gather troops, and evacuate Yongzhou." ”

Experienced such a tragic day.

He knew that he was no longer able to cut it down, and now his only plan was to withdraw to Dayan.

Send out scouts again to inform General Ban of everything that is happening here.

General Ban had 200,000 men under his command.

Among them, 100,000 people are Dayan Iron Riders!

It can almost flatten the existence of the country!

Even if the prime minister of Qianguo sent the army of Wochuan Mansion to flank General Ban, it would not pose any threat.

After all......

Those 100,000 Great Yan Iron Cavalry are the foundation of the imperial court's deterrence of the world!

Think so.

Zhang Zhidong slowly closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing this, the guards rested for a while, got up one after another, turned over their horses, and gathered the troops scattered everywhere.

Rested for the night.

It's not dawn yet.

Zhang Zhidong woke up from his dream.

His forehead was covered with cold sweat, his eyes showed a look of horror, and he subconsciously looked around.

Seeing that there were gathered Yan soldiers around, his heart instantly calmed down a lot.

"General Chuanben's order, pull out the camp and evacuate!"

Zhang Zhidong slowly got up and gave an order.

The guard replied: "Yes, General! ”

After an overnight rehabilitation.

Zhang Zhidong has another 20,000 or 30,000 people around him.

Of course.

The people who escaped the pursuit were by no means only 20,000 or 30,000 people.

There are still a considerable number of people who are lagging behind and have not kept up with the footsteps of Zhang Zhidong and others.

Zhang Zhidong will not stop, waiting for the defeat of those remnants.

When the rest is almost over, we continue to set off.

Yin time.

It is the darkness before the dawn.

Zhang Zhidong led a group of remnants of the defeated army and rushed in the direction of Yan Kingdom.

Walking and walking.

Suddenly, there was a loud thunderous sound in front of him.

Peng!

This was followed by a terrible wail.

"What's the situation!"

"Another enemy attack?"

Moment.

The crowd panicked again.

Zhang Zhidong stood in place, his heart had sunk to the bottom.

No one is more familiar with this voice than him.

It was clearly the sound of the things dropped by the "Kun".

A loud bang meant that several people around him were suffering.

"It's not dawn yet, and those kun can see clearly?"

Zhang Zhidong subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the sky, but found no trace of Kun.

"Not Kun?"

Zhang Zhidong frowned, with a puzzled expression.

Right now.

Loud noises rang out one after another.

The mournful wails did not stop.

The Yan soldiers also became more and more flustered.

I don't know how long it took.

Finally someone realized.

There's something buried in the ground.

Once stepped on, it can cause huge damage.

Behind him, in the sky, and on the ground, there were pursuers.

This moment.

Whether it was Zhang Zhidong or an ordinary Yan soldier, they all fell into despair and almost collapsed!

"The prime minister of the country raised by the son of a bitch, my Dayan and you don't share the sky!"

Zhang Zhidong, who looked desperate, stood in place, looking up to the sky and roaring, his eyes were bloodshot.

............

Meanwhile.

The 200,000 army led by Ban Hongfei also encountered the same predicament!

Peng!

Peng!

Peng!

A deafening sound echoed through the crowd.

The mournful wails, combined with the shouts of terror, cast a shadow over the hearts of every soldier.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Where the hell did the shells come from!"

Ban Hongfei's face was extremely gloomy, and he looked at the partial general on the side and asked.

The general's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he said uneasily: "The last general is incompetent, and there is still no trace of artillery!" ”

Seeing this, Ban Hongfei couldn't help but give him a kick and scolded: "Until now, I don't even know where the enemy is, what does General Ben want you to do!" ”

"The last will be damned!"

The general lowered his head and replied nervously.

Seeing this, Ban Hongfei gave him another kick, raised his eyes to look ahead, and found that his soldiers were becoming more and more flustered.

Even the formation was distorted.

Finally.

Unable to maintain his position any longer, he gritted his teeth and made a decision, ordering: "Retreat!" ”

I have to say.

As the most powerful existence among the surrounding countries, Yan Guo does have a few brushes.

After Ban Hongfei gave the order to retreat.

The 200,000-strong army quickly calmed down, the front formation changed to the rear formation, the rear formation changed to the front formation, and slowly withdrew.

The whole process is orderly, and even if there is some chaos, it can be calmed down quickly.

Half an hour later.

Ban Hongfei led the army and returned to the place where he had originally set up camp.

The eastern horizon also glowed.

Ban Hongfei's face was gloomy, he stood in place, and asked, "Did you find out?" ”

The general lowered his head and replied, "The last general has not found any trace of the enemy, but ...... There are important findings. ”

When Ban Hongfei heard this, his face became even more gloomy and he didn't speak.

Seeing this, the general continued: "The last general found that there was something buried in that clearing, and as long as you stepped on it, it would cause the same effect as a cannonball. ”

When Ban Hongfei heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then he seemed to realize something, frowned, and said coldly: "You mean, there are no enemy troops from beginning to end, just something buried in the ground, which creates the illusion of artillery bombardment?" ”

The general nodded heavily and responded: "The last general thinks that this is indeed the case." ”

“......”

There was a half-silence.

Ban Hongfei asked, "How much is buried in that place?" ”

The general shook his head lightly and said, "General Hui, if that thing hadn't stepped on it, it would have been difficult to find, so it is difficult to estimate how much it has been buried." ”

Hear this.

Ban Hongfei's heart sank.

If he remembers correctly, this place is the only way from Yongzhou to Zhangzhou.

It is not impossible to take a detour, but it will have to be delayed for four or five days.

"Take the map!"

"Yes!"

The guards brought the map and unfolded it in front of Ban Hongfei.

After Ban Hongfei looked at it, he finally determined that this place was indeed a must-pass place.

If you bury less, you can break through.

It's just that......

No one knows how much is buried there.

Whether it's a hard break or a detour.

For a while, Ban Hongfei was entangled.

Right now.

The adjutant general's voice came from beside him.

"The last general thinks that he can let the local cadres open the way in front, and the army will follow behind, so that they can survive without accidents."

Love to read

As soon as this remark came out.

Ban Hongfei's eyes lit up, looked at the deputy general, and ordered: "It's a good way!" General Ben has given you this task, find enough people in one day to get them out of the way! ”

The adjutant saluted and said, "The last general obeys!" ”
