Chapter 462: The encirclement is narrowed
And the soldiers on the hilly position behind him abandoned their positions and wanted to join the battle here, which made Xiyi even more happy.
He was worried that he would not be able to uproot the subordinate army on the position in front of him, and the subordinate army actually gave up the positional advantage and came to the aid of the enemy who was copying his rear road. It's just looking for death.
He did not command his army to fight the troops who came down from the position.
He wanted to take out the enemy who was taking the back road as quickly as possible, and then he would deal with the army of his disciples who rushed out of the position.
He has absolute self-confidence, when these children rush to their front on the battlefield, it is when he harvests the lives of the children, and these children in front of him are just the bait for him to lure the children on the battlefield over.
He couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, the army of the disciples who copied the back road was really brainless, and they came to attack them like this. Put yourself in such a dangerous situation. It's just looking for death.
Just as Xi Yi let his cavalry rush to the opposite military formation, suddenly, he saw several places in the hilly land behind him, huge spherical objects rising,
The appearance of this strange object made Xi's eyes show a sense of consternation, and he didn't understand what it was for a while.
Although the hot air balloon was used in the Battle of Yingzhou, this matter has not spread all over the world, and more of it is the combat power of the children and the world.
Looking at the hot air balloons rushing from the hills, Xiyi's eyes were not only stunned, but also a little uneasy.
It's just that his uneasiness soon surprised the changes in the position ahead, and he saw that a loud bang sounded, followed by a loud noise like thunder.
The cavalry that rushed towards the opposite side of the army suddenly fell in large numbers with this loud noise, and the huge fire and thunder fell into the cavalry.
The cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the war horses were frightened, and the charging battle formation directly became chaotic, and the charging formation was also completely chaotic in an instant.
The cavalry and Zheng Shimin's infantry were suddenly entangled together, and under such chaos, it was impossible to inflict any more damage on the opposite army.
Moreover, the bullets fired from the children's army, as well as the artillery fire that flew in, dealt a fatal blow to these cavalry and infantry.
The Jurchen cavalry and Zheng Shimin's infantry had not yet approached the position of the subordinate army, and they had already suffered heavy losses.
This situation made Xiyi's face full of astonishment, he thought that he had seen it wrong, the cavalry that once dominated the world seemed so vulnerable in front of the weapons of the army.
Seeing this scene, Xi Yi only had anxiety in his eyes, but soon, a look of joy appeared on his face, and the five routes and five armies on the other side had already surrounded him.
Even if there is a frontal defeat, as long as one of the other five places can cause damage to the position of the children's army, then the other five sides can destroy the opponent's army with a devastating force.
But just as he was thinking this, in front of the charge of the other five armies, a sudden thud sounded, and then, there was a dense bombardment of artillery and mortars.
In the blink of an eye, the Fifth Route Army was suddenly attacked fiercely, and the advancing army was immediately inexplicably blocked in place. I can't move an inch anymore.
Not only that, but the army of the children who rushed down from the hills began to attack the army in front of them. The weapons in their hands overwhelmed the armies of all walks of life.
They could only retreat, and in the end, they were compressed together, and even if someone tried to turn around and attack the army of the children who came down from the hills, they were all killed.
In the midst of defeat, they realized that they were caught in the middle. Even on Xiyi's side, they saw the army pressing over.
Xiyi wanted to hold on to his camp, but almost all of his troops were sent out, and the number of troops in the camp was less than 2,000.
What's more, overhead, several huge orbs flew overhead, and what could be seen from the orbs was flames spewing from below. and the huge bamboo basket underneath the ball.
Before he could understand what it was, something suddenly fell from the bamboo basket, and the moment these things landed, they exploded.
The huge explosion blew Kichi flying, but fortunately it was the aftermath of the explosion that shook him, otherwise, Kiichi would have almost been killed on the spot.
Seeing such a terrifying weapon, Xi Yi only had fear left in his heart, he didn't have time to think about it, and fled to the side in a panic. His troops hurriedly escorted him and headed towards the cavalry led by Wanyan Wushu.
The current situation is so chaotic, and Xiyi wants to lead everyone from defeat to victory from this chaos.
If this chaotic situation is allowed to continue, they are afraid that they will be completely destroyed here, and they have 180,000 people. And the combined army of the children on the opposite side is only 100,000 at best.
Xi Yi's idea was very simple, and he even had great confidence in his own Jurchen army, and he rushed into the chaotic battle array to find the Wanyan Wushu.
The two of them led the cavalry together to rush to one side, and since they couldn't break through the position in front of them, they first gathered all their Jurchen cavalry.
And the task he gave Zheng Shimin was to ask him to gather his Pingle army and try his best to break through the position in front of him.
He wanted to use Zheng Shimin's civilian army to hold back the Zidi army in front of him, and he used the flexibility of the Jurchen cavalry to attack the flank of the Zidi army.
But just as he rushed to the side with Wanyan Wushu, before he could gather these remnants. He was suddenly horrified to find that in the direction of this side, there were suddenly tens of thousands of more troops.
These armies were wearing the costumes of ethnic minorities, and this situation made him stunned for a long time. I don't know what happened for a while.
He didn't know how there could be an enemy with ethnic minority costumes, and he hadn't fully investigated the defeat of Zong Han until now.
Therefore, he didn't know that Ashima brought troops to help, and until now, he only thought that Jiang Chao and his army had not rushed back to Ningzhou.
Or, even if he rushed back to Ningzhou Mansion, he would come from the direction of Ningzhou, and it would not be from behind him.
How would he know that Jiang Chao led his subordinates to march in a hurry, and went directly to copy his back road. He would never have thought that although the army of the children was 10,000 people attacking.
But there were 50,000 White Lotus troops and 50,000 troops led by Ashima, and Jiang Chao's troops were not 10,000, but 110,000.
Then, King Yuan sent another 50,000 troops, which really added up, but 160,000 troops. In terms of troops, although it is not as good as the combined army of the Jurchen Army and Zheng Shimin.
However, in terms of weapons and combat power, most of the troops were stronger than the Jurchen army.
When he saw those minority troops, Xi Yi's heart swelled with horror.
