Chapter 154: Collapse at the touch of a button
Of course, Xu Youchang understood the meaning of Li Jiangyao's words, and couldn't help but smile: "What? Aiming at Gelhan's Left Army? ”
Li Jiangyao also smiled and nodded, stretched out his hand to pat Xu Youchang's shoulder and said, "Gelhan is also our old friend, since the war, he has been left hanging by the side, and he has no sense of existence at all. If you don't focus on it, I'm really sorry for the friendship between the two sides. ”
"Which army are you going to take with you?" Xu Youchang's tone was solemn: "Our First Army can set off at any time. ”
Du Jian shouted beside him: "General Xu, I'm going to say two words to you." You ambushed Mohadi and won the first credit, our second army has waited for so long, why should it be the turn of the Fire Legion to come out, right? ”
Xu Youchang smiled: "Du Jian, don't worry. To rush to the left army, what is needed is to be taken by surprise and as fast as lightning, which of course depends on cavalry, and your second army is all hoplites, can you still run over four horse legs? ”
Du Jian glared at him and said unconvinced: "Don't say it, we usually don't do anything else, we specialize in running, and the iron armor of more than forty catties is draped on our bodies, which may not be slower than your cavalry!" ”
Xu Youchang haha: "Okay, when I'm free, I'll send my brothers to compare with you, but this time, forget it." There is no child's play in the army, and it is better for your heavy infantry to hold a stable position. ”
Li Jiangyao raised his hand to stop Du Jian, who was about to continue arguing, and said lightly: "Don't rob it, I don't need any of the three armies this time, I only bring two thousand white robes." ”
"What?! Two thousand white robes? When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but make a big uproar on the spot, and they all expressed surprise and opposition.
Horia hurriedly said, "My lord, what are you kidding?" Even if Gelhan's left-hand army nestled again, it would be seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses. General Montenegro's Divine Flower Legion is just a handful of 10,000 people, plus your 2,000 white-robed troops, what can it do? ”
"You know what?" Li Jiangyao smiled slightly, and said leisurely: "Soldiers are expensive, not much." What's more, with the combat power of the white-robed army, at least one can be ten. You must not think that I am proud and have made the mistake of underestimating the enemy, and if I am not completely sure, how can I take the risk of doing nonsense? The question I have on my mind is that although Alekjiang has withdrawn his troops now, it is hard to guarantee whether this cunning and changeable guy will suddenly come back and kill us. In addition, the Turkic Liangguan camp also needs us to be more vigilant. Therefore, in dealing with the Left Route Army at the moment, the number of troops cannot be too much, otherwise it will really be a matter of neglecting one and losing the other, and it will be greedy for merit. Du Jian, you lead the Second Army of Agni, immediately seize the Pansong Ferry that the enemy has abandoned, re-establish coastal fortifications, and continue to send troops to monitor the retreat of the Central Route Army, and must not relax in the slightest. Friend, county lord, after Du Jian successfully occupied the position on the Ulundu River, you immediately led the army back to Metasequoia City, resting and healing your wounds, while closely monitoring the movements of the Turkic Liangguan camp. I'll be back when I'm done packing up and I'll be back with you to discuss my next steps. ”
After that, Li Jiangyao didn't wait for everyone to say anything, and directly took Lin Feng to walk down the lookout quickly, and joined the two thousand white-robed elites who had been waiting for a long time, and whipped away.
-
"My lord, the brethren are all ready." Lin Feng sat on his war horse and reported to Li Jiangyao, "Are you really not thinking about it anymore? The certainty of stealing the camp at night should be greater, and now in broad daylight, as soon as we show up, we will be discovered by the other party immediately. ”
Li Jiangyao slowly pulled the Xingluo knife out of the skin sheath, and replied easily: "It's okay, I suddenly appeared in broad daylight, I just want this effect." ”
With the action of the main general drawing his sword, the two thousand ghost-faced white-robed troops behind him also showed their weapons one after another. Through the gaps in the iron masks, everyone's eyes shone with a breathtaking light.
Lin Feng was infected by Li Jiangyao's arrogance, and he also let go of the hesitation in his heart, and shouted in a low voice behind him: "Trumpeter, prepare!" ”
Li Jiangyao concentrated and observed in the distance for a while, and then nodded slightly. Seeing this, Lin Feng immediately waved his right hand downward, and several trumpeters immediately puffed out their cheeks and sounded the horn of attack desperately.
Woo - woo -
"Come with me, brethren!" Li Jiangyao raised his sword above his head, shouted violently, and then rushed out of the dense forest in the first place. Two thousand white-robed soldiers raised their whips and urged them to ride at the same time, following closely behind him, constantly speeding up.
Hoofs roared, smoke flew up, and a white flying flower swept in!
At this time, the Left Route Army of the Western Frontier Alliance, under the command of King Geerhan of Chechi, was attacking Daban City, which was guarded by the Shenhua Legion, with all its might.
I don't know if it's because I can't attack for a long time, or if I deliberately deal with errands in order to preserve my strength, anyway, those Western Xinjiang coalition troops who are besieging the city don't seem to be working very hard. At this moment, the troops engaged in the battle were only three phalanxes, probably more than 6,000 infantry.
Moreover, they did not choose to besiege the city and fight fiercely, but only attacked the western wall.
The rest of the main force gathered around Gelhan and lined up outside the west gate of Daban Castle to watch the battle.
It can be said that the sudden appearance of the white-robed army did have an extremely shocking effect.
In the dense forest in the distance, as soon as the melodious horn sounded, it immediately attracted all the attention of both the attackers and defenders above and below the city. Almost everyone subconsciously stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at the place where the trumpet sounded from.
And the next second, what caught my eye was a large white flying flower that seemed to fill the entire world.
Although there were only 2,000 people, they were only a small part of their own forces compared to the attacking and defending sides of Daban Castle. However, the high-spirited killing intent exuded by the white-robed army was incomparable to thousands of troops.
It was such a cavalry array that was not too large, and with the white cloak flying and fluttering, the whole team quickly approached the city, and everyone present had an unshakable feeling in their hearts - like a mountain and a sea, unstoppable!
"Long live our emperor! Kill, kill, kill! ”
The white-robed army suddenly shouted the earth-shattering battle cry, and hit the hearts of every soldier of the Western Xinjiang Coalition Army.
The sound was like a boulder, thrown into the water, and immediately caused huge ripples. Fear and confusion were the ripples that spread outward, and in the blink of an eye, they spread quickly among the camp of the Left Army.
The few phalanxes closest to the white-robed army did not have the courage to turn around to meet the attack at all, and the people completely relied on their primitive survival reactions, frantically dodging to both sides, doing everything possible to avoid the charging route of the white-robed army.
In this way, an exaggerated crack appeared in the most undesirable place.
Those who were flashed out of the passage by the friendly troops in the back row and directly faced the other phalanxes of the white-robed army also did not hesitate and continued to flee to the side in the same way.
All of a sudden, people shouted as if they were hiding from death, pushing, crowding, desperately trying to get to safety! Flee away from the white-robed army!
Compared with the panic of the Western Xinjiang coalition army, the head of Daban City is a different scene.
The soldiers defending the city first watched in a daze as the white flying flower suddenly appeared, getting closer and closer, with a look of disbelief on their faces. Immediately afterwards, the shouts like a mountain and a tsunami resounded wave after wave through the city.
Whether it was the garrison of the Zhenjiang Army or the tribal warriors of the Shenhua family, they were all dancing and shouting, dancing, wildly waving the weapons in their hands, and tears of excitement.
Kuliban, the little prince of the god flower, who looked a little haggard, jumped on the battlements of the city wall regardless of the danger, pointed his sword into the distance, and shouted to the people: "Brothers, my lord has come to reinforce us!" Keep your eyes open, that is the invincible ghost-faced white-robed army in the world! Long live adults! Long live the white-robed army! ”
"Hooray! Banzai! The soldiers and civilians of Daban Castle cheered, and once again set off one after another shouts that resounded through the sky.
Seeing that morale was already unimaginably high, how could the commander-in-chief of the Shenhua Legion, the Black Mountain Chieftain, miss the opportunity? He picked up the huge axe in his hand and shouted like thunder: "Sons, reinforcements have arrived!" Come with me out of the city and kill the thieves! ”
"Let's go! Kill the thief! Kill! ”
At this moment, the defenders have completely entered a state of madness, and even the people in the city have been infected, and people have grabbed all kinds of weapons, sticks and knives, and shouted and rushed to the city gate.
In the blink of an eye, the west gate of Daban City was suddenly opened, and thousands of soldiers and horses swarmed out, rushing towards the Western Xinjiang Coalition Army that was retreating in a panic. The offensive and defensive battles that were still going on around the city at the last moment, because of the unexpected arrival of the white-robed army, immediately turned into a confrontation on the plains and wilderness.
Although the Left Route Army in Western Xinjiang occupied an absolute superiority in troops, the formation had been disrupted, the morale had been dispersed, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed in the overall sense. Gerhan has been on the battlefield for a long time, and of course he is aware of the bad situation in front of him, and there is basically no possibility of recovery.
Rather than staying where you are and dying and struggling, and missing the opportunity to escape for your life in vain, it is better to slip away quickly.
He also knew that the weak chickens of the subordinate countries could not be counted on at this time, and let them break off the cover purely to delay the work, so he immediately handed down the order, asking the two most heroic and combative divisions under his command to set up a defensive line one after the other, desperately blocking the Black Mountain and the White Robe Army, even if it could only be blocked for a moment and a half.
Gelhan is holding the consciousness of a strong man breaking his wrist, and exchanging his own lineage elite for his precious life.
On the battlefield outside Daban Castle, there was a one-sided situation, and from the beginning there was no confrontation to speak of, and it was completely a pursuit battle of running for your life. Li Jiangyao grabbed the reins of the war horse, looked left and right at the white-robed soldiers who were whistling past him, and hurriedly shouted to Lin Feng, who was not far away: "Lin Feng! Don't patronize and stab people! Ah! Get started! Hurry up and inform Kuriban and Montenegro so that they don't rush to extermination, those who live are worth it! Catch me alive! ”
