Chapter 170: Nikolayevich

Countless Rakshasa soldiers were killed and wounded by arrows, and torches were dropped everywhere, and the Rakshasa army became extremely chaotic in an instant.

This is the role of a good commander, Nikolayevich has no command ability, and his lieutenant Van der Sava does not have that prestige, so he can only let the Rouran cavalry use their best cavalry to ravage the chaotic infantry at will.

"Raise a shield!!"

When the Rouran cavalry was about to rush into the ranks, the voice of the deputy general finally reached the ears of all the Rakshasa soldiers, and the panicked Rakshasa soldiers seemed to have found the backbone, and the heavy infantry put up the shields in their hands one after another, while the ordinary infantry hid behind the heavy infantry with spears or heavy swords, ready to deal with the breakthrough that the Rouran cavalry was about to make.

However, what caught them off guard was that Gao Fengli led the cavalry at high speed to give up this very favorable opportunity to break through, but quickly bypassed the flank of the Rakshasa army, not giving the Rakshasa soldiers a chance to contact them at all, but the stormy bow and arrow did not stop for a moment.

Braving the rain of death that kept falling in the sky, Nikolayevich suddenly felt that his strength was so small in this kind of big battle, although all the bows and arrows shot next to him were bounced off by the blue fighting qi shield on his body, but he couldn't attack Da Zhao's cavalry.

The Rouran cavalry did not have direct contact with the Rakshasa infantry at all, they were all touch-and-go, and the infantry could only carry the rain of death of the Rouran cavalry, and there was no way to cause any damage to the Rouran cavalry.

This is the true cavalry archery tactic, since ancient times the cavalry has always been the greatest nemesis of the infantry, which is why China has been ravaged by the nomadic cavalry of ethnic minorities throughout history. Slow-moving infantry meets galloping archers. That's unstoppable. There is no escaping defeat, the initiative is completely in the hands of the archers, and the infantry can only be beaten passively.

The torches of the Rakshasa gradually decreased, but the light in the Rakshasa army did not diminish in the slightest, and the pale red fighting aura shield on the Rakshasa soldiers illuminated them clearly, and there was no better target for the Rouran cavalry.

The 200,000 Rouran cavalry of the Eighth Route Army were responsible for intercepting and killing the 200,000 infantry, although the Rakshasa heavy infantry put up their shields. However, the casualties of the Rakshasa soldiers still rose sharply, and in just half an hour, more than half of the 200,000 Rakshasa infantry had already suffered casualties, and they were in danger.

Nikolayevich's face was iron-blue, thinking that he was a sixth-order master who was beaten so aggrieved, this Rouran cavalry is really a rabbit, and he doesn't run normally fast, often he has just swung out a terrifying sword aura, and the Rouran cavalry, who had already approached the Rakshasa soldiers, moved away from the Rakshasa soldiers' main formation, and the speed was extremely fast. The few sword qi that he unleashed failed one after another, and he just killed a few unlucky Rouran cavalrymen. It doesn't bother them at all.

The angry Nikolayevich almost rushed directly into the army of the Rouran cavalry, but was desperately pulled by his lieutenant, among the more than 200,000 Rouran cavalry galloping at extreme speed, I am afraid that Nikolayevich will not be able to hold out for a few minutes even if he is a sixth-order peak master, he will die of exhaustion, although Van der Sarfa is very repulsive to him as a boss, but he can't watch him take risks.

"Lord Duke, don't be impulsive, they now have the advantage of speed and strength, although Lord Duke is brave, but he can't stand up to the number of them, if Lord Duke has any accidents, then Van der Sarfa is the sinner of the Rakshasa through the ages. ”

Frightened by Van der Sarfa's successive shots, Nikolayevich finally calmed down, but he still said unwillingly: "But are we just sitting here and waiting to die, if we continue like this, we will be destroyed sooner or later!"

Although Van der Safa was also very hurt by the large number of casualties of the Rakshasa soldiers under his command, but after experiencing countless corpses and blood, he had to be calmer after all, after the initial panic stabilized, the Rakshasa soldiers gradually formed an effective defense system under his command, the front rows of heavy infantry erected shields to block the front, and the heavy infantry in the middle raised their shields to cover it, plus there have been casualties of seventy or eighty thousand soldiers, the original insufficient number of heavy infantry can now protect the light infantry, so that the casualties of the Rakshasa soldiers have been greatly reduced, and the Rouran cavalry has been connected with the cavalry for several rounds to make the Rakshasa soldiers casualties less than a thousand。

Although this casualty is still relatively large, it is already a good defense compared to the previous Rouran cavalry who could kill thousands of Rakshasa soldiers in one sprint, Van der Safa said to Nikolayevich: "Lord Duke, we now rely on heavy infantry to form this effective formation, and the casualties have been reduced very low, if we have to rush over and fight them, it will definitely be us!"

Nikolayevich himself did not know much about military affairs, so he acquiesced in the approach of his lieutenant, but he still asked anxiously: "Then do we still want to save the city of Bulgan? What should we do now if we don't save it?"

Van der Sar said with a smile: "Lord Duke, we are now unable to protect ourselves, how can we save Bulgan City, besides, the most important thing for us is the Chinese army camp, what we should do now is to let the heavy infantry slowly return to the Chinese army camp with their shields, and send a signal for the soldiers of the Chinese army camp to send a part to meet us, Bulgan City is very strong, I think it can hold out for a while, and it is not too late for Marshal Muzichenko to take back Bulgan City after the victory of Marshal Muzichenko in the main battlefield." ”

Nikolayevich thought about it, and hurriedly asked the herald to ignite the rocket in the direction of his camp, and asked the Chinese army camp to send troops to pick them up.

The heavy infantry held shields to protect the light infantry and slowly walked back to the Chinese army camp, and it was less than an hour after they came out, and there were still eighty or ninety thousand left in the 200,000 army, as well as twenty or thirty thousand wounded soldiers who could not be carried, which dealt a very big blow to the morale of the Rakshasa soldiers, even if the casualty rate has slowed down a lot now because of the protection of the shield, but vaguely looking at the rain of arrows that continue to fall in the night sky, the Rakshasa soldiers feel that this world is so desperate, maybe their lives will not be on them in the next second.

After the army began to move back, Van der Safa breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Nikolayevich who was a little dejected, Van der Safa hurriedly said to him: "Lord Duke, don't be discouraged, in fact, I think we have no fault but merit this time, and after the war is over, Marshal Muzichenko may reward us!"

Nikolayevich smiled bitterly, and said angrily: "At this time, you are still in the mood to laugh, we have more than 100,000 soldiers killed and wounded in an hour, and you can still have merit, you really dare to think that it would be good if you could not go to the gallows!"

Van der Sava seemed to have figured out something, swept away the previous haze, and suddenly became happy, and said to Nikolaevich with some mystery: " Lord Duke, you can't consider us alone like this, do you think, there will be 300,000 Rouran cavalry that attacked us before, Bulgan City is so strong, and the Great Zhao Expeditionary Force is all cavalry, they all ask for help, then there must be at least four or five hundred thousand Great Zhao cavalry to attack Bulgan City, in this way, we will have at least 800,000 Great Zhao cavalry on our side, and how many Great Zhao cavalry can there be on the main battlefield?"

Nikolayevich is not a stupid person, otherwise it would be impossible to cultivate to the terrifying sixth-order realm, hearing Van der Safa say this, he said with some joy: "In this way, the main battlefield of the Great Zhao cavalry is only 1.9 million cavalry at most, and we hold their 800,000 cavalry here, then we can occupy the advantage of troops on the main battlefield, and the victory will not be so far away, right?"

Van der Sar nodded with a smile, as long as he dragged these Da Zhao cavalry, then it would be difficult to say whether this battle would be won or lost, and maybe the Da Zhao Expeditionary Force would be wiped out by the Southern Border Guards.

Just when Van der Sava and Nikolayevich thought they had made meritorious contributions, Gao Fengli, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them release rockets, and he was afraid that you would not be like the Chinese army camp rescue.

However, although their rescue signal was issued, Gao Fengli was not ready to launch a substantial charge against these Rakshasa infantry, but only relied on cavalry to consume the strength and morale of the Rakshasa infantry little by little, and then annihilate these infantrymen in one fell swoop when the time was ripe, otherwise I was afraid of accidents.

The Chinese army camp naturally also saw Nikolayevich's rescue signal, the Rakshasa generals who stayed in the Chinese army camp were very panicked, Nikolayevich just walked out for an hour before sending out an emergency rescue signal, what does it mean, indicating that the Dazhao cavalry has already been ambushed in the middle of the road, if he sends out only 200,000 troops in the Chinese army camp, I am afraid that the Chinese army camp will also be lost.

The Rakshasa general who stayed behind gritted his teeth, Nikolayevich is the Duke of Rakshasa and his top boss, even if it is a trap, it is impossible for him not to save it, otherwise in the end, even if he holds the Chinese army camp, he will not escape death, but he does not dare to transfer too many troops from the Chinese army camp, otherwise the enemy will definitely be captured soon.

After thinking about it, the Rakshasa generals who stayed in the camp finally made up their minds, and sent the only cavalry in the camp, 20,000 Cossack cavalry, to meet Nikolayevich's 200,000 troops, the Cossack cavalry is the elite cavalry of the Rakshasas, with high attack power and fast speed, it is the best choice for rescue, and even if he does not succeed in rescuing them in the end, Nikolayevich will not blame himself.
