Chapter 1555: No Victory or Defeat
Sure enough, the rows of giant arrows falling from the sky were intercepted by the guns wielded by the generals, but what everyone didn't expect was that these arrows exploded at the moment they were intercepted.
Balls of fireball exploded on the heads of the Wolf Cavalry Regiment, and the powerful impact force, although it could not be directly applied to the heads of the cavalry through the mountain phantom, but it shook the mountain-type phantom into pieces of cracks.
"These heavy crossbows are idiosyncratic, so powerful !! destructive power"
Ye Li was taken aback and spoke.
As the strongest army in the Tang Kingdom, the Xuanwu Army is not only strong in soldiers, but also has countless financial resources in its equipment.
For example, the crossbow and quiver they are using now are high-end gadgets that are different from ordinary heavy crossbows, and the casting price is expensive, and it is quite difficult, and it is impossible to produce them in large quantities.
This kind of thing can release ten giant arrows at a time, and each barrel is equivalent to ten heavy crossbows, which is very convenient to carry when mobile combat.
In addition, giant arrows are also special products, with explosive power, and when the arrows explode together, the power collision caused is very ferocious.
It was precisely because of such power that the Xuanwu Army was able to shatter the mountain phantom of the entire cavalry regiment with only a hundred heavy crossbow arrows.
The moment the phantom of the cavalry regiment shattered, it had already rushed to the front of the Xuanwu army, and in the face of the pitch-black spear, Yin Lie gave an order, and the cavalry regiment suddenly stopped when the charge was about to be completed, and all of them stopped.
With the momentum of the pause, all the soldiers' spears stabbed forward suddenly, and the strength of the golden line gathered together and pierced into the array that was intercepted in front of them.
The powerful Jinxing aura did not cause much damage under the interception of the opponent's shield array, and only a few soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were slightly injured.
However, because the Running Wolf Cavalry Regiment did not rush in front of the Xuanwu Army, they could not make a counterattack, so they could only watch the Running Wolf Cavalry Regiment jump back two times in a row and break away from the battle circle.
Ye Li frowned and looked at the battlefield, he knew that the reason why the Wolf Running Cavalry Regiment chose to retreat was because of the crack in the mountain phantom.
The fissure of the mountain already means that it is about to shatter.
If the cavalry regiment continued to charge the Xuanwu Army's military formation just now, the mountain phantom condensed by the earthy aura on their bodies would be completely shattered.
After the mountain phantom is shattered, it means that the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Running Wolf Cavalry Regiment will be greatly reduced, and without the protection of the earthly aura, the Running Wolf Cavalry Regiment can only fight to the death with the Xuanwu Army.
Although with the help of the wolves, they are very strong even if they fight alone, but they will inevitably suffer casualties.
This was something that Yin Lie did not want to see, and he knew how much it would cost to train a qualified soldier of the Running Wolf Cavalry Regiment.
Ye Li only has a total of three thousand cavalry, and if he loses one, he will lose one person, and it will be difficult to replenish it in a short time, after all, it is not something that can be completed in two or three days to control the movement of the wolf to keep up with the team.
Yin Lie chose to end the charge at the last minute, which can only be done by these running wolves, if the horses simply can't make a sharp stop in a blistering run.
The two sides who broke away from the battle once again distanced themselves and confronted each other, and the second round of collisions still did not really distinguish the winner or loser, and the combat effectiveness of these Xuanwu troops was stronger than Ye Li imagined.
He had always thought that his wolf cavalry regiment had the strength to crush all armies, but now it seemed that they were only as strong as the Xuanwu army.
It can only be said that the Wolf Cavalry Regiment also has stronger mobility and long-distance running capabilities, which the Xuanwu Army does not have, but they really can't take much advantage of frontal fighting.
In particular, the Xuanwu Army took out their secret treasure crossbow arrowbox, this kind of war weapon has a very strong ability to break defenses, although the defense of the cavalry regiment is strong, but it was almost broken by them.
This is still the result of a master taking the initiative to intercept arrows overhead under the command of Yin Lie.
If Yin Lie had been a little careless and believed that the Mountain Phantom could block the attack of the giant arrow, then the defense they had just had broken through once.
The battle had become a bit troublesome now, and if they were to fight head-on, the cavalry regiment would definitely have to face heavy crossbow bombardment, and it was basically impossible for them to defeat the enemy unharmed until the opponent's arrows ran out.
If you keep charging and dodging, the Spiritual Qi Illusory Shadow of the Earth Walking is constantly consuming the spiritual essence of the soldiers, and this kind of battle will not be able to last long.
The current situation is completely a test for the cavalry regiment, the Xuanwu army is really experienced, after dismounting, it is no longer fighting with the cavalry regiment, but choosing a fortress-like style of play, standing in place and waiting for the cavalry regiment to attack.
Ye Li looked at the battle situation and said to Huo Xing: "It really deserves to be the Xuanwu Army, its combat effectiveness is really strong, and ordinary armies can't be their opponents at all."
But in the current battle, in fact, we don't have to divide the winner at all, because our purpose is only to rescue. ”
Huo Xing nodded when he heard this, and said: "I also think that we should evacuate, each of the soldiers of the cavalry regiment is extremely precious, this Xuanwu army is only half of the manpower, and there is another Xuanwu army, a total of 10,000 people, we choose to fight hard, it is really not a good way." ”
"It's still a little more difficult to win without injury now, and after the training of the Flying Wing Regiment is completed, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry regiment can really be brought into play, and when the time comes, the two will merge together and defeat the Xuanwu Army, and the situation will not be a problem. ”
Ye Li looked at Xuanwu Jun and said.
Yin Lie's side tried back and forth for a few rounds, and found that he couldn't avoid the attack of the crossbow arrows, and directly hit the opponent's military formation, and he was suddenly a little annoyed.
Just as he was about to risk a head-on impact, Ye Li's voice suddenly appeared in his ears.
"Yin Lie, let's retreat, the task of stopping the Xuanwu Army from killing the reinforcements has been completed, and now is not the time to fight with them.
By the time the training of our flying wing group is completed, the Xuanwu Army will absolutely not be able to resist. ”
Ye Li, along with Huo Xing and the others, had already ridden the Wind Lin Beast to Yin Lie's side.
When Yin Lie heard Ye Li's words, he could only suppress the unwillingness in his heart and nodded, and said, "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." ”
Immediately, he directly ordered the command of the wolf cavalry regiment to withdraw directly from the front of the Xuanwu army, and everyone rode the demon beast and disappeared directly into the jungle next to the official road at the fastest speed.
The Xuanwu Army maintained a defensive formation until much later.
The impact that the Wolf Cavalry Regiment brought to them just now was actually very huge, and even everyone felt a little shocked.
The Xuanwu army just now had already taken out its strongest combat power, but it couldn't hurt the opponent at all.
In front of them, the wolf cavalry regiment came in and out, wounding hundreds of them, but they couldn't even touch each other's hair.
This kind of battle situation is probably something that the Xuanwu Army has never encountered since its founding.
