Chapter 842, Xuanjia Battle Horse

The Xuanjia War Cavalry tore apart the Crusader's defense line like a withering and decaying force, and rushed straight into the middle of the opponent's army formation, moving forward indomitable, until the Crusaders were terrified and corpses were everywhere!

The Darkarmor Warrior Cavalry swept past the Crusaders. The Crusader formation, though in disarray, did not collapse. Juan shouted at his throat and ordered the officers and men of the army to regroup. At this moment, a general beside him suddenly pointed to the east and exclaimed, "Look, general! Juan was startled, and hurriedly looked to the east, only to see that the large army of the Ming army had already poured up, like a sea and a tide, mighty!

A subordinate general hurriedly said to Juan: "General, we can't beat them, let's ask for help!" Although Juan was reluctant, he felt that the current situation could only call for help, and immediately sent people to gallop out of the army to ask for help from friendly forces.

Seeing that the enemy army was surging and it was difficult for his side to reorganize in time, Juan simply ordered the army to attack and attack, and waved his army straight up. Tens of thousands of crusaders rushed towards the Ming army like a white wave, and the morale of the crusaders was revived, and everyone shouted at the top of their voices, holding their weapons high, and their faces showed a crazy look.

The red tide and the white tide rushed and stirred in the vast field, and in an instant, the two waves of different colors collided heavily, and then the two colors quickly intermingled, with a huge roar and a thrilling scream, the two armies fought together, and the battle was extremely fierce!

Just when the two sides were inseparable, the Xuanjia Army, which had just passed through the enemy formation, suddenly launched a charge from the rear! Iron hooves surged, cold light flickered, and two thousand Xuanjia elites stabbed into the middle of the crusaders from behind! Iron hooves trampled on flesh and bones, horizontal knives spilled blood, and the Xuanjia army was indomitable, killing the crusader corpses and flying blood! Although the crusaders were fierce, they couldn't help but be afraid at this time, and the whole army was in chaos, and in the face of the fierce offensive of the Ming army, they were defeated and completely collapsed! The Ming army covered up the rout, and killed the crusader corpses all over the blood-stained wasteland!

Shi Liancheng ordered the army to stop the pursuit, and ordered Zhan Jin to lead nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses, including the Xuanjia army, to pour into the city from the east gate to support the Tianzhu people. The crusaders who entered the city from the east did not expect that the enemy would come from behind, and they were rushed by the Ming army and collapsed. The state of Zhanjin immediately divided its troops to support from all sides. The Tianzhu people were in the midst of a rout, and suddenly saw the Ming army coming and defeating the enemy in the east, and they couldn't help but boost their morale. Kshatriyas urgently ordered the armies to reflexively fight again. The Tianzhu soldiers only felt a strong support, and they turned around and shouted to fight back. The city was noisy and agitated, the battle situation had changed, and the Tianzhu people, with the support of the Ming army, launched a fierce counterattack against the crusaders who entered the city in the west, south and north. On the street, the large army clashed and fought a decisive battle, and the stragglers in the alleys were sacrificing their lives, the corpses were jamming the streets and alleys, and the blood was full of ditches, and the battle situation was very tragic!

The Crusaders' Southern Legions, after receiving Goode's orders, immediately moved their entire army to support the East. However, after coming to the east, I saw that the Eastern Army had been scattered and fled by the Ming army. Ou Ding and the others hurriedly lined up in shock, but they did not dare to attack rashly. In view of the limited forces of his own forces, Shi Liancheng did not attack, so the two armies lined up outside the city to confront each other, and neither of them took action.

After a while, Ou Ding and the others found that the battle situation in the city was unfavorable, and they couldn't help but retreat, so they ordered the army to retreat.

Seeing the enemy retreating and the army's heart was turbulent, Shi Liancheng felt that the opportunity had come, and immediately waved his army to rush in! The crusaders were retreating, but they didn't expect the Ming army to suddenly storm up, like a sea of tides, and they were shocked and rushed to fight! Shi Liancheng took the lead, slaughtered into the enemy army, cut melons and vegetables with a long knife in his hand and slashed the enemy army, and other Ming soldiers also fought bravely to be the first, sacrificing their lives to move forward! The crusader soldiers saw that the Ming army was coming so fiercely, and they were terrified and felt that they couldn't support it! With an army turning and retreating first, the Crusaders are all in reverse, and they are already out of control! The Ming army covered up and killed the crusaders all over the field!

Just when this crusader army was panicking and rushing for its life, the main force of the HRE led by Goode finally arrived. Seeing the chaotic scene in front of him, Goode was taken aback, and he didn't care about it, so he immediately waved his army to meet the Ming army! When the Ming army and the HRE army met, it was like a tiger encountering a lion, and a blue wolf meeting a cheetah. The soldiers on both sides clashed and fought bloodily, killing flesh and blood, and killing indistinguishable male and female! Suddenly, a rain of arrows swept the Ming army, the Ming army suffered many casualties, and suddenly the Ming Mo swordsman clashed with the enemy formation, and the bloody battle was unstoppable!

Just when the elite of the two sides were fighting inextricably, those crusaders who had just been defeated by the Ming army gathered together and reflexively joined the battlefield. The Ming army and the HRE army were already fighting on a par, and those enemy troops who had been defeated before joined the battlefield, and the Ming army felt that it was gradually unable to support it.

At the same time, the Crusader Northern Legion, which had been defeated by the Ming War Cavalry, gathered again and poured into the city from the north gate. The Tianzhu army, which was counterattacking the crusaders at the north city gate, was rushed by them from behind, and the whole army was scattered, and the morale that had just been raised disappeared in an instant, and the Tianzhu soldiers threw away their armor and fled in all directions.

The situation in Beicheng was reversed in an instant, and the Tianzhu people couldn't help but feel in turmoil, and under the ferocious counterattack of the crusaders, they couldn't resist it, and the whole army collapsed. Zhan Jin saw that the Tianzhu people completely collapsed, and the enemy army besieged from all directions, and rushed to the head with blood, so he wanted to fight the enemy! The general next to him hurriedly grabbed Zhan Jinguo and said urgently: "General, the situation is unfavorable, if our army is disrupted by the Tianzhu people, it will be out of control!" Withdraw! Zhan Jinguo was very reluctant, but he also knew that the general was right, and immediately shouted: "Retreat!" ”

The Ming army retreated from various fronts in the city and withdrew from the city gates, while the Tianzhu people scrambled to escape. The morale of the crusaders was greatly boosted and refused to stop there, and chased them out of the city, continuing to storm the Tianzhu people and the Ming army. At this time, the Tianzhu people were already defeated, and they were completely useless, relying only on the Ming army to resist, fighting and retreating!

On the other side, the Ming army led by Shi Liancheng was also fighting and retreating, resisting the crusaders who came up like a tidal wave while retreating. The two Ming armies turned to one place, but the situation did not improve in the slightest, because the crusaders also converged in one place and continued to attack!

The Crusaders became more and more courageous, and the offensive became more and more fierce, and in the end, it can be said to be like a landslide and tsunami! It is also the loss of the Ming army, it can still remain in chaos, if it is replaced by any other army, in this case, I am afraid it has already been crushed by the overwhelming military momentum of Mount Tai! However, even the Ming Army, at this time, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out for too long! The Ming Army is now riding a tiger, and if you want to get out, you can't do it at all if you want to get out but are stuck by the other party! And those Tianzhu people took advantage of the opportunity that the crusaders were pinned down by the Ming army, and they rushed wildly, on the fields, on the wasteland, the Tianzhu people and like ants and rats were running for their lives.

The situation was already very dangerous for the Ming army. Although Shi Liancheng is both wise and brave, at this time, there is nothing he can do. Gude and others roared and constantly dispatched troops, trying to annihilate this Ming army in one fell swoop!

Suddenly, a Ming war horse appeared behind the enemy army, rushing towards the enemy army, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves was still so clear even on this noisy battlefield.

The Crusader soldiers were taken aback when they suddenly spotted an enemy cavalry rushing from behind. For a while, it was not clear how many enemy troops appeared in the rear, and they stopped pursuing the Ming army in front of them and prepared to deal with the Ming army behind them. The Ming army, which was suffering from the inability to get out, saw that the opportunity had come, and quickly disengaged from the crusaders and quickly retreated to the east.

Many people may wonder when they see this, how could a Ming war horse suddenly appear behind the enemy's ground? Do you still remember the Ming warrior that previously crushed the Crusader Northern Legion and then raided the HRE army? That's right, it's them! Seeing that the HRE army was too strong to break through, they quickly left the battlefield, and Goode ordered the general Khedira to lead 10,000 horsemen to chase them down! The war horses on both sides chased and ran for more than ten miles. The Great Ming War Horse suddenly bypassed a hill. The Khedira didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one and chased after him.

As soon as he bypassed the hill, he saw the Ming war horse turn around to fight. Khedira was annoyed that the other party was only trying to escape for his life, but when he saw the other party turn around and fight, he was naturally overjoyed, and immediately waved his army to kill. The two sides fought together, and after only a moment's effort, the situation of the Ming war cavalry was a little bad.

Thinking victory was in sight, Khedira swung his army and stormed. But he didn't expect that at this moment, a Ming war horse suddenly appeared behind him and slammed it up, and he rushed his army to pieces. The Shinra cavalry was in chaos under the shock, and the Ming war cavalry in front of it fiercely counterattacked at this time. In this way, under the front and back attacks, the HRE cavalry led by Khedira could not resist the rout! When you see this, you may feel strange again, why did one Ming War Horse suddenly become two here? Hehe, in fact, these two Daming war horses are the same Daming war horses just now. After the Ming cavalry turned around the hill, only some of the soldiers and horses turned around and engaged the Shinra cavalry who caught up, while the other cavalry continued to bypass the hill and appeared in the rear of the Shinra cavalry and launched a surprise attack from the rear! In this way, the Daming war cavalry, which was at a disadvantage in strength, defeated this chasing army in one fell swoop!

Immediately, the Ming cavalry rushed towards Patna to prepare to join his large army, but when he felt near Patna, he saw that the general and his own army were in a worrying situation under the continuous onslaught of the enemy. So this Ming cavalry hurriedly launched a surprise attack on the crusaders from the rear.

It is said that the crusaders are attacking the retreating Ming army, but at this moment, the strange soldiers suddenly appeared, and the Ming war cavalry suddenly swept up the dust and killed from the rear. The Crusaders were caught off guard by this sudden attack and immediately stopped their attack on the main Ming force in response to the raiders. The main force of the Ming Dynasty quickly left the battlefield when the crusaders were in a hurry. And after the Ming war cavalry stirred up in the middle of the crusaders, they immediately rushed out of the enemy group and left the battlefield before the opponent's war cavalry could react.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was rapidly moving away, and that the enemy's large army had retreated far away, Goode had no intention of pursuing. The crusaders of other countries saw that the HRE was no longer pursuing, and no one was left to be the first bird.

That night, the city of Batna was filled with thunder, and the Crusaders seized mountains of gold and silver treasures, as well as grain and forage. Although the losses in this vicious battle were not small, the gains were also very rich. The next thing is how to distribute the spoils, and the Shinra naturally has the lion's share and does not dare to have any opinions, while the other countries have also received huge benefits, which can be said to be everyone's joy.

On the other hand, the Tianzhu people lost Patna, and relied on the Ming army to escape with great difficulty, and fled to Mongil east of Patna. Mongil is a city about two hundred miles east of Batna, on the south bank of the Ganges, but it is a small county town, without walls, like a large village and town. Mongil was suddenly flooded with countless refugees and routs, and there was a tumult and the inhabitants of the city were panicked.

Soon after, the Ming army also retreated to this place. The Tianzhu people were very surprised to see that the Ming army had retreated, and they thought that the Ming army had been completely wiped out by the crusaders.

Kshatriya and the others hurriedly came to Shi Liancheng's horse to meet him, Shi Liancheng was annoyed, but he couldn't scold it, and he was convinced of these useless Tianzhu people.

That night, Shi Liancheng and other Ming generals and Kshatriya and other Tianzhu people gathered together to discuss the current battle situation. All the Tianzhu people looked depressed as if they were dead mothers, obviously they were desperate for the current situation, Singh said: "Now that even Batna has been lost, where else can we go?" The old nobleman Abshek said anxiously: "No matter where we go, we must get out of here as soon as possible!" If the Crusaders come, it'll be too late to escape! He looked around with fear on his face, as if he feared that the terrible crusaders would suddenly jump out of some corner. All the nobles echoed one after another, all of them were in a frightened posture and wanted to continue to flee for their lives, and the scene was in a hustle and bustle, this was simply a group of frightened chickens.

As soon as Shi Liancheng slapped the table, the scene immediately fell silent, and everyone's eyes were on Shi Liancheng.

Shi Liancheng said angrily: "You are so afraid of the crusaders, and you are willing to let them occupy the land and population? Everyone looked at each other, and then there was a sigh of sighing, and Abshek said helplessly: "How can we be willing! However, even your Ming army is not their opponent, what can we do? There was a slight hint of ridicule in these words, except for Shi Liancheng, all the generals of the Ming Dynasty couldn't help but get annoyed and scolded one after another. Abshek naturally didn't dare to really offend the Ming army, seeing the Ming generals raging, he couldn't help but be afraid, and quickly apologized, only saying that he had lost his words.

Shi Liancheng raised his right hand, and the generals gradually stopped scolding.

Shi Liancheng asked Kshatriya, "How many soldiers and horses do you have left?" ”

Kshatriya sighed and said with a bitter expression: "My soldiers and horses have suffered heavy losses, and there are only thirty or forty thousand men left. ”

Shi Liancheng thought for a while, and said to Kshatriya: "That's all for today, you go back and rest." The Tianzhu people looked at each other, and Kshatriya hurriedly asked, "The general has a way to deal with it?" Shi Liancheng said: "This matter will be talked about tomorrow, you can go back and rest first." When the Tianzhu people heard this, they were full of doubts and retreated.

Zhan Jinguo said angrily: "Fight with the Tianzhu people, we will be killed sooner or later!" The generals chimed in.

Shi Liancheng looked at Tu Lou and said warmly: "Tu Lou, you performed very well in this battle!" "It turned out that Tu Lou is now the cavalry commander of the Fifth Legion, this battle, the Ming army is in a very dangerous situation, if it is not for the critical time when the cavalry led by Tu Lou suddenly appeared in the rear of the enemy army to raid the enemy army and disturb them, it is really difficult for the Ming army to get out. This Tulou, friends who have read the previous article will not be unfamiliar, yes, he is the chief scoop of Sichuan Qingshui Pao Brother back then, known as Boss Tu. When the Ming army regained Sichuan, Tu Lou and his Qing Shui robe brother returned to the Ming Dynasty and made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty's smooth recovery of Sichuan, and then he entered the direct legion as a commander. In his military career, Tu Lou made many military exploits, accumulated merits and was promoted to commander, and was transferred to the Fifth Army by Yang Peng about half a year ago and became the cavalry commander of the Fifth Army.

Shi Liancheng pondered: "For example, the situation in Zhu today is very unfavorable, and the combat power of the Crusaders is much stronger than we expected!" ”

Xu Qingdao: "The other crusaders are no different from what we encountered before, mainly the crusaders of the Shinra, which are really different!" "Xu Qing, the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion, was originally the general of the Volcano Army, and later took refuge in the Ming Dynasty and made countless military exploits for the Ming Dynasty, almost half a year ago, he was ordered to be transferred to the Fifth Army as the deputy commander.

Shi Liancheng frowned and said, "Since I entered Tianzhu until now, I have always felt very awkward. It doesn't matter if our army is defeated, but if our army suffers heavy losses, I am afraid that it will be invaded by the Crusader losses in the Dhaka area. When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but show worried looks.

Xu Qing said loudly: "We don't need to work hard for the Tianzhu people, it's better to return to China." The generals couldn't help but be moved and echoed one after another. Zhan Jinguo frowned and said, "It's easy for us to retreat, but what about the Eighth Legion?" They are still in Faizabad, and the enemy will not let them go! Only then did everyone think of the Eighth Legion, and they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

Tu Lou frowned and said: "Originally, it was planned to attack westward and join the Eighth Legion, but I didn't expect the Tianzhu people to be too wasteful, and this plan can't be realized now!" ”

Shi Liancheng said: "Attacking and advancing to join the Eighth Army Corps is not possible now, so they can only find an opportunity to break through." I've already thought about it, so that the Eighth Legion will immediately find an opportunity to break through, and we don't want to go back now, just here to feint and contain the main Crusader force! The generals nodded. Shi Liancheng said again: "In addition, immediately send an order to the Hanzhong Army to mobilize the main force to support us." "The Hanzhong Army, naturally the main army of the Ming Army, was formerly the Northwest Army led by Zhang Jun when the Liao soldiers went south, more than 400,000 at that time, and later the Ming Army attacked Hanzhong and the Northwest Road, this army took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, and since then it has been reorganized as part of the Ming Army, becoming the Hanzhong Army, with 100,000 people. The army that is now under the command of Shi Liancheng in the entire southwest region, except for the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army Corps, is this Hanzhong Army. Now Thailand is fighting with the Vietnam-Li Dynasty, so there is nothing to do in the east, and the Hanzhong army can free up their hands.

Seeing this, some friends may be about to ask, since the Hanzhong Army can free up his hands, why didn't Shi Liancheng mobilize the Hanzhong Army before? In fact, the reason is very simple, Shi Liancheng did not expect the situation to deteriorate so quickly before, and he did not expect the Tianzhu people to be defeated so neatly. At that time, Shi Liancheng, in fact, not only Shi Liancheng, but everyone including Yang Peng expected that although the Tianzhu people were weak, but after all, the army was very large, as the saying goes, ants gnaw elephants to death, and the Ming side only needed to dispatch two legions, and with the assistance of Tianzhu's huge troops, it was enough to deal with the crusaders. But the reality is not like that at all, and the defeat of Tianzhu people is really shocking.

Bianliang, Imperial Palace. Yang Peng held the flying pigeon book he had just received behind his back, strolling by the quiet and beautiful lake, and his ears were the sound of laughter, poetry, and singing from outside the palace.

Yan Ji, who was following Yang Peng, asked curiously, "Husband, what does Shi Liancheng's letter say?" ”

Yang Peng stopped, looked at the sparkling lake, and muttered, "The development of the situation in Tianzhu is really unexpected. I was shocked to receive reports earlier that Delhi had fallen. But what is the loss of Delhi compared to the current situation? He turned his head to look at Yan Ji and said with a smile: "This time Tianzhu is really defeated!" After the loss of Delhi, the Tianzhu people could not hold back the pace of defeat and were driven all the way east by the crusaders! The central army of the Tianzhu court completely collapsed, and the Kshatriyas' eastern army was also beaten to pieces, and even Patna was lost! ”

Yan Ji asked in surprise, "The situation has reached such a point?" Then he said puzzledly: "The crusaders don't seem to be particularly strong, how can they ......?"

Yang Peng shook his head, "This crusader now is different from the previous crusader. This crusader has the HRE army as a pillar, and it is this HRE army! Other crusaders are fine, but the HRE army is indeed extremely strong, and it can be said that it is not far behind us! Now that the Eighth Army is trapped in Faizabad, and Slen City has lost the battle of Batna and has been forced to retreat, the situation of our army is not good! ”

Yan Ji couldn't help but get worried, and said urgently: "Since the situation is not good, why don't you immediately send reinforcements to support?" ”

Yang Peng nodded and said, "I think so too." Then he said to Yan Ji: "Follow me." Then he walked towards the imperial study. Yan Ji immediately followed.

When he arrived at the imperial study, Yan Ji sharpened the ink, Yang Peng spread out the letter paper, then lifted the brush and dipped it in ink, quickly wrote an order, handed it to Yan Ji, and instructed: "Send it to Yang Guihua immediately." ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
