Chapter 343: Raging Wave Infantry

Li Jiangyao, who was at the Zijinguan command post, couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard that Xu Youchang had sent the Sixth Army out to fight the Battle of Pingye.

The soldiers, Simas, partial generals, and deputy generals standing next to them were all stunned.

Someone couldn't help but whisper: "Isn't this a joke?" Let the light infantry carry the elite iron cavalry of the Turks? ”

"yes, I thought the Sixth Army would be transferred to the city for defense."

"You don't have to worry, isn't there still an ironclad cavalry outside the city, the Angry Wave Army is just going to assist in the defense."

"It's not a good way to help defend it! The Turkic cavalry had flexible tactics, and as long as they saw the reality of the Sixth Army, they would definitely concentrate their forces to carry out key chiseling. Not to mention light infantry, heavy infantry may not be able to withstand it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Besides, the First Army is already very tired, and when the time comes, it will not only have to fight to the death with the Turks, but also have to think about saving the Sixth Army. ”

Li Jiangyao thought for a moment and said loudly: "Don't mumble, the Sixth Army is also a Zhenjiang Army, and it can also fight tough battles." I believe in Deputy Xu's judgment, the angry waves will not disappoint everyone. ”

He turned around and commanded: "Send my banner to the Sixth Army, and from now on, they will fight under my banner!" ”

The handsome banner of the metropolitan protection? That's exclusive to the Ghost-Faced White-robed Army!

How can the Sixth Army be able to do so? Dare to compete with the white-robed army that swept through the western frontier and was invincible in the world?

With this question, the commander of the Chinese army personally sent Li Jiangyao's handsome banner to the Sixth Army, which was about to go out of the city to fight.

In an instant, a deafening shout resounded throughout Zijin Pass!

The light infantrymen, dressed in light armor and holding shields and daggers, screamed with excitement.

At that moment, the commander suddenly felt that what was standing in front of him was not a group of people, but a group of bloodthirsty and crazy wild wolves!

Before the Sixth Army could complete its preparations, the first two divisions had already rushed out of Zijin Pass and rushed straight to the Turks who were fighting with the First Army.

The 10th Legion of the Golden Clan is also a veteran powerhouse under the command of the Prince of the Temple, and both the Western and Eastern Continents have their brilliant achievements everywhere. However, the battle-hardened Tenth Legion never imagined that the invincible iron cavalry would one day encounter a charge from light infantry.

It's just inexplicable! Totally incredible!

And what surprised them even more was that the light infantry who had gone crazy were not inferior to the iron cavalry.

Like a stormy wave, the crowd poured out from the gate of the city, and then covered up overwhelmingly, instantly surrounding a thousand-strong team of Turkic cavalry. The infantrymen shouted battle horns, cut the legs of horses with knives, stabbed knights with spears, and some put them directly on horseback

The Turkic soldiers ripped it off and dismembered the corpses.

In the blink of an eye, the thousand-man squad was completely engulfed by the terrifying tide of infantry.

The reaction of the 10th Army was also very rapid, and the next moment, 5,000 Turkic iron cavalry separated from the camp, bypassed the First Army, and roared towards the Sixth Army.

With the distance to speed up the charge, the cavalry suddenly gained confidence and roared and pounced on the light infantry, trying to crush it in one fell swoop.

However, they miscalculated.

The light infantry, which was supposed to be vulnerable, had no fear in the face of the surging iron cavalry, and they simply used their own flesh and blood to hold back the cavalry charge.

For this completely fatal and crazy style of play, the Golden Clan's 10th Legion couldn't help but fall into deep doubts, until they saw the banner.

Zhenjiang Army Commander Banner!

it?

Could it be that Li Jiangyao personally went to war? But this is not the legendary ghost-faced white-robed army?

Just when the Turks were suspicious, the Sixth Army had already left the city with its whole army, and launched a counter-charge against the Turkic iron cavalry with light infantry on the plains and wilderness!

This scene not only shocked the enemy, but also shocked the First Army next to it and the Fifth Army at the head of the city.

What's the situation? So fierce?!

Xu Youchang was stunned from the lookout, but he quickly reacted and ordered: "Quick!" Drum cheers! ”

The drums of war on the city's head exploded. The drummers beat frantically shirtless as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the drums became denser and denser, and finally they seemed to be connected.

Charge! Reckless charge!

The bravery of the Sixth Army also aroused the fighting spirit of the First Army, and the ironclad cavalry launched a strong attack on the enemy in front of them to the sound of war drums.

The soldiers and horses of the Golden Clan were instantly defeated.

As soon as the momentum weakened, it was difficult for the entire front to support again, and the Turks had no choice but to retreat quickly and temporarily avoid the edge of the Zhenjiang army.

"How the hell did the Ten Legions do it?" Tanley couldn't help but complain: "When was it so weak that even the infantry couldn't beat it?" Chased by others in reverse! ”

Yun Qianxue's face sank like water, and he didn't know exactly what was going on on the front line, but the truth was always very cruel: the Turkic iron cavalry was defeated by the infantry.

And the one who felt the most angry and desperate was the Prince of the Temple, Ronia.

The Tenth Legion is an elite unit trained by him, and has made great achievements for the Empire, even within the Turkic military, the Tenth Legion can be called one of the best forces.

"Salk, you give me a good explanation, why?"

Faced with the questioning of His Royal Highness the Prince, the commander of the Tenth Legion, Salk, was blushing with shame, he didn't know how to explain, let alone dare to explain.

"Your Highness, please give me another chance, the Tenth Legion will fight to the end and win the Zijin Pass for you!"

Ronia didn't say a word, staring at Salk fiercely. He originally wanted the blood guard to directly drag this idiot out and cut it down, but at the moment of the big war, how much impact killing a legion commander would have on the morale of the whole army, as the commander-in-chief, had to consider.

After being silent for a while, Ronia finally spoke: "Before dark, if you can't completely defeat the Zhenjiang army in front of Zijin Pass and clear the way for the follow-up troops, you don't have to come back to see me." ”

Looking at Salk's departing back, Tanley was thoughtful. After waiting for a while, he suddenly said to the generals in the tent: "You all go out first, I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness." ”

Yun Qianxue and the others were slightly stunned, and then saluted and retired.

When they were all gone, Thanley said to Ronia, "Uncle, I feel that you are committing a crime now!" ”

Ronia guessed what he wanted to say, but still asked lightly, "Why do you say that?" ”

Tan Li was dissatisfied: "It's been a few days, and almost all of the tough battles have been fought by us, and all the people who died were the children of the Golden Clan. What about the other tribes? What about the people of Western Xinjiang? Why not? Uncle Prince, don't you feel distressed? This is the root of burying my father Khan! ”

Ronia glanced at Tanli, and his tone was still calm: "Zijin Pass is of great significance to the Turkic Empire and to your father Khan, even the Golden Clan can't be beaten, can others count on it?" ”

"Can you count on it, at least you can lose the Zhenjiang army." Tanley retorted, "Now that the Golden Clan is gone, what does the entire empire mean to us?" ”

Ronia was silent for a moment, and then said quietly: "You also know that many tribal generals have received secret letters from Gemar a few days ago, and in this case, I must be very cautious. The tremendous pressure of war will make it easier for them to have different hearts. ”

Tanley sneered: "The more this is the case, the more they should be sent to death first!" Kindness and weakness cannot be exchanged for loyalty, only strength is the capital to speak! ”

"Perhaps...... You're right," Ronald looked at Tanley and said coldly, "However, the commander here is me, not you. ”

Tanli saw a chill in Ronia's gaze, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly changed to his signature smile: "Uncle, don't be surprised, I'm just talking about my inner thoughts, I don't mean anything else." You are the invincible commander of the Empire, and of course I am completely under your command. ”

Seeing that he said soft words, Ronia also suppressed his anger for the time being.

After all, the other party is a prince, one of the heirs to the throne of the future Great Khan, and he can't really tear his face. After thinking for a moment, Ronia said in a deep voice: "Second Prince, what you said is indeed reasonable. In this way, when Salk drives the Zhenjiang army back to the city, let the men and horses of the Western Xinjiang attack the city. Anyway, it's time for them to do it again. ”

In the middle of two or three sentences, the Turkic ministers and the Turkic princes each made concessions, and finally did not completely freeze the matter. However, internal compromise was easy to do, but the trend on the battlefield did not develop according to their vision.

The Third Legion of the Golden Clan suffered a loss and lost face, and the whole army was holding back the fire. With the order of the legion commander Salk, the mighty iron cavalry returned again, ready to teach the rampant light infantry on the opposite side a lesson.

And at this time, Xu Youchang also issued new orders to the First Army and the Sixth Army on the front:

Two more hours!

The reason is simple, it takes time to repair the gates and walls.

Filled with smoke and dust, the Turkic iron cavalry divided into three ways and rushed to the defense line of the Zhenjiang Army in three huge arrow formations.

The 1st Army, located on both flanks, reacted immediately, coming out on the left and right, facing the menacing Turks head-on.

In the middle, the Sixth Army set up a huge fish-scale formation, with hundreds of small teams arranged on top of each other, and a corresponding distance was specially set aside between them to cushion the surprise force of the opposing cavalry.

Li Jiangyao's handsome flag was erected at the back of the entire fish scale array.

For the officers and men of the Sixth Army, what they are guarding now is not the defense line, but the banner of the Dadu Protector, and even the dignity of the entire Zhenjiang Army.

I'd rather die than let the Turkic ghosts rush to Shuaiqi!

For this belief, the Sixth Army paid an extremely heavy price.

This time, the Turkic 10th Army held the initiative in the offensive, and its tactical objectives were clear, and it was flexible in advance and retreat. The sudden counter-charge like the previous one can no longer be repeated at this time.

They entangled the 1st Army with cavalry on both flanks, and then concentrated their superior forces to repeatedly storm the positions of the light infantry, and despite the support of the infantry with arrows from the city, the Turkic cavalry still inflicted merciless heavy losses on the 6th Army.
