Chapter 747: Snow Fight
"The whole army resists the enemy, holds the line, the shieldmen, the pikemen hold the first line, and if anyone dares to approach the grain cart, they will be killed. Nian Qianyao's face was very solemn, the military newspaper said that the Divine Cult Army in Youzhou had been dispersed, and the 100,000 troops of Ao Bai were scattered on the land of Youzhou along with the 200,000 troops who came up, and there were countless soldiers of the Shenwu Army patrolling in the entire Youzhou territory, and their own people did not come in such a short period of time, but the enemy came, I am afraid that they will not get any support in a short time. Nian Qianyao knew that these grains and grasses were already the grain and grass that the Shenwu Army could draw, and if this batch of grain and grass was looted, then the situation in the entire Youzhou would be unimaginable, and even if the people of the entire Youzhou were all dead, it was not impossible. Nian Qianyao looked at the cavalry rushing over with a pale face, the big waves washed the sand, now the rest of the Divine Sect Army is the elite of the elite, if the morale of this cavalry cannot be defeated, then the entire Divine Martial Army will be in danger.
"Archer, prepare, the shield bearers in the front row are ready to defend against the enemy!" Nian Qianyao rode on the war horse and looked coldly at the cavalry rushing over, and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him, this time the soldiers who followed Nian Qianyao were also the elite left after the southern and northern wars of Nian Qianyao, and the cavalry of the Northern and Western Liang Army and the Blood Army fought countless battles, so he naturally knew how to resist the cavalry, not to mention that it was a snowy day now, and the cavalry was easier to deal with. The heavy snow was still falling, but the soldiers of the Shenwu Army stood motionless on the snow and watched the unilateral slaughter, but the cold murderous aura released by the Shenwu Army was no less than that of the cavalry of the Shenjiao Army who killed them violently.
Bang bang, the archers of the Shenwu Army released the bowstrings in their hands one after another, and only a thousand of the five thousand soldiers were archers. Although there were only a thousand people, a thousand wolf's fangs pierced through armor arrows also set off a bloody storm among the cavalry of the Divine Cult Army. The goose-feathered university can't hide the blood that rises to the sky. The surrounding homeless people all stared blankly at all this in front of them, they had never felt so vulnerable, and those who fled aimlessly rushed into the arrow array and were immediately shot into hedgehogs. The screams, the neighing of the horses, the noise of the entire battlefield and the tranquility of the air formed a stark contrast, the cavalry of the Shenwu Army frantically killed the enemy soldiers who rushed over, and the archers shot the arrows in their hands at the fastest speed they had, which could only shoot one arrow at this distance. But the heavy snow limited the speed of the horses, enough for the archers to shoot three arrows. A single blow of a thousand bows and arrows reaped the lives of at least three hundred cavalry of the Divine Cult Army and hundreds and hundreds of outcasts.
"The idea of the whole army, the shieldmen resist the pressure, the pikemen and archers hold down the formation, and the cavalry on the left and right flanks charge separately, and they must be resisted by me. Nian Qianyao looked at the other party's cavalry division and his face suddenly changed, the other party obviously grasped the weakness of the Shenwu Army, the cavalry of the Shenwu Army was less than 800 people, and the other party's 20,000 people were all cavalry. With the current combat strength of the Divine Martial Army, it is not the opponent of these Divine Sect Troops at all. Nian Qianyao glanced around, and there was a flat river all around. It was well suited to the charge of the cavalry, and if it had not been for the obstruction of the heavy snow, they would have been surrounded by these cavalry by now.
"Nian Hu, you command the infantry formation, and I lead the cavalry to countercharge. The enemy must not be allowed to get a grain of grain unless absolutely necessary. Nian Qianyao's face turned blue and shouted to the guards general who followed him, the food in it also has the military food of Ao Bai and others, if these grains are lost, the entire Shenwu Army's combat Jihua will be affected, Nian Qianyao shook his sitting, and the war horse behind him launched a counter-charge against the enemy. The rumbling hooves of the horses knocked on the ground, and the cavalry of the Shenwu Army grabbed the cavalry crossbow and launched the first round of attacks against the enemy, even if the distance was enough for the cavalry of the Shenwu Army to shoot a round of arrows, and the following was a bloody battle between the cavalry of the two sides.
Puff, puff, Nian Qianyao shook the treasure knife in his hand, and instantly cut the throats of four or five soldiers, and blood gushed out along the arteries like a spring, and the war horse that Nian Qianyao sat down seemed to understand the meaning of the master, raised his front hooves high, and kicked several enemies in front of him into the sky. The sword in Nian Qianyao's hand danced like a cloud and water, where the blade passed, countless blood flew into the sky, this is the strength, Nian Qianyao quickly used the long knife in his hand to create a no-man's land around him, where the blade passed, no one can continue to live, this is strength, this is absolute strength. Seeing that the main general was so brave, the soldiers behind Nian Qianyao also became extremely brave, and the weapons in their hands were also spread out, and the hot blood sprayed out and fell to the ground, and the blood quickly melted, turned into rain, and mixed into the earth.
The cavalry on both sides also launched a charge against the enemy, although the absolute gap in strength is the elite of the Shenwu Army, they all follow their main generals to fight in the north and south, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of them, they will not frown, not to mention that in front of them is a group of small soldiers who are not worth looking at at all. The cavalry of the Shenwu Army gathered into a sharp sword and instantly cut through the defense line of the cavalry of the Shenwu Army, and the cavalry on both sides were the elite of the elite, and they frantically greeted each other with the weapons in their hands, and both sides wanted to kill each other. The bravery of the Shenwu Army was fully displayed at this moment, although there was an absolute gap between the strength of the troops and the other party, but the soldiers of the Shenwu Army did not have the slightest fear, and the weapons in their hands were constantly slashing at the opponent's body.
"Resist the enemy!" The bravery of the cavalry troops also inspired the courage of the troops in the rear, the enemy divided 5,000 troops to attack the rear side of the grain cart, because of the blockage of the displaced people, it was difficult for them to break through for a while, and the cavalry of the Shenwu Army was pinned down on one side, and the fierce battle between the two sides was even more fierce. With a heavy impact, the soldiers on both sides slammed together, the shield soldiers in front blocked the impact of the opposing cavalry, and the pikemen in the rear shouted in unison, and stabbed the opponent's war horse with the spears in their hands. Puff, puff, the cold spear pierced the corpse of the war horse, and the soldiers on the war horse fell down one after another, the blood stained the earth red, and the spurt of blood instantly dyed the shield bright red. The archers in the back didn't want to shoot the arrows in their hands, and now the only thing they could stop the enemy from attacking was to keep shooting the arrows in their hands, and the sharp arrows cut through the enemy's defenses, releasing the only thing in their bodies that was still boiling hot.
Screams, blood, white snow is filled with a trace of human aura, the soldiers on both sides are willing to fight to death, and the crazy killing of countless soldiers makes the entire battlefield full of blood that does not fit the surrounding scenery. There were only 5,000 soldiers of the Shenwu Army, but they resisted the attack of the enemy's 20,000 cavalry, and the surrounding homeless people were already stunned, especially when they saw the spirit of the Shenwu Army looking at death as home, they stood there dumbfounded. Especially the man and woman in the lead gasped deeply when they saw the Shenwu Army so brave, if they had attacked the Shenwu Army before, they were lying on the ground now, they were both happy and afraid.
"Little sister, let's go, otherwise when the reinforcements of the Shenwu Army arrive, we won't be able to leave if we want to. The man looked at the battlefield with a pale face, the whole battlefield was fighting, many people fell every second, the soldiers of the Shenwu Army were not afraid of death, often a soldier was able to accurately send his war knife into the enemy's chest after his neck was cut. The man had never seen such a brave soldier, his heart was trembling, he didn't even dare to imagine fighting with such an enemy, he was unwilling and even less willing to face such an opponent, they were not a group of opponents, but a group of demons, a group of real demons.
"Big brother, even if I leave now, how long can we live to watch these soldiers of the Shenwu Army die at the hands of these bandits? Although these soldiers of the Shenwu Army are brave, their numbers are too small, and their reinforcements will definitely not arrive for a while and a half in this kind of ghost weather, the only way out for us now is to help them defeat the enemy, otherwise once they are defeated, even if these bandits don't kill us, we will starve to death in such weather." The woman said to the man in a firm tone.
"How can they have a chance to win, you see that the archers of the other side have already gone to the battlefield, they even have the archers on the battlefield, they have no possibility of winning at all, and the other party is well-equipped, with our current strength, it is to seek death. The man's face was distorted and he said to his sister, the Shenwu Army has been completely surrounded, Nian Qianyao and a few cavalry are still rushing frantically, and the rest of the soldiers are under the leadership of Nian Hu around the grain cart to form a fairly complete formation to do Zuihou's resistance.
"Big brother, even if you die in battle, it's better than before starvation, look at how many of your brothers can survive this winter!" The woman looked at her eldest brother with a look of indignation and scolded: "Big brother, we still have a chance to survive if we help the Shenwu Army, but if we leave the Shenwu Army and escape by ourselves, we won't even have a chance to survive." I'd rather die in battle than die like this. ”
"But..."
"Folks, the tone is starved to death, it's better to help the Shenwu Army repel the enemy in front of you, recapture the grain and grass that belongs to us, and those who don't want to be starved to death will rush with me!" The woman pulled out the sword at her waist with a snort, and regardless of her eldest brother, she rushed out first, and several people who followed the woman were also stunned, so they rushed out.
