When the third prince of the Baharil Dynasty was shaken from his sleep by his guards, he simply couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.
The orange-red fire illuminated the sky, brighter than the twilight on the horizon, and the wailing Balihar soldiers poured in like a tide to the location of the Chinese army's main camp.
In order to run smoothly to the main camp, these panicked guys even directly knocked down the wooden fence of the main camp.
The third prince suddenly felt that these guys were not their soldiers, but spies sent from the opposite side.
The main camp of the Chinese army is the core of the Balihar dynasty's military base. The main camp alone contains 13,000 soldiers.
Moreover, it is the elite of the entire army. There are more than 20 other large and small military camps, totaling more than 30,000 people.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and the head of the ten thousand household in the main camp of the Chinese army, wearing only a single coat, rode his horse and ran to the third prince.
The third prince, who was already at a loss what to do, seemed to have found his backbone. He hurried over, grabbed the reins and asked loudly.
"General, where did this enemy come from? Are they Ju'er Khan's army? How come they are here?"
"Your Highness, don't worry about where the army comes from. Hurry up and let people beat the war drums and organize manpower for defense!
The fact that the enemy can launch a surprise attack in the early morning proves that they are elite and their number must not be too large. As long as we can stabilize the morale of the troops and hold on, we can turn defeat into victory."
The idea of the head of the household and the third prince was very good. Zhang Zhao did not bring many people. In the early stage, there were only 4,000 people, and the subsequent 3,000 people were still on their way.
But the chaos and destruction they caused was definitely not something an army of four thousand men could accomplish.
These four thousand people are four thousand strong archers, or four thousand heavy infantry and elite cavalry. They can shoot at a distance and attack at close range, harass and attack fortresses.
As for the soldiers of the Balihar Dynasty in the military camp, not to mention wearing armor, many of them were simply naked. How could they hold on?
What's more important is that when tens of thousands of people are driven together, the speed at which this fear spreads is extremely alarming.
The crowd will be carrying each other, losing all judgment and willpower. It is extremely terrifying for a well-trained army to be surprised and roar like this, let alone an existence like the Balihar Army that can barely be called an army.
Already.
More than 25,000 people, driven in a planned manner by Zhang Zhao's army, ran towards the main camp of the Chinese army.
In order to reach the safe main camp as quickly as possible, the crowds of people fleeing for their lives in a hurry will tear apart any person or thing that stands in front of them in fear.
People who fall down are basically unable to get up, because the people behind them will not stop, they will just step on them and run over.
The neat wooden fence of the main camp of the Chinese army could not stop them, and the small number of resisting horses could not stop them even more. They were all pushed down by the crazy crowd.
In order to calm down this kind of people who have fallen into madness, the most effective measure is to separate them from the normal army.
If the head of ten thousand households could order the shooting of the crowds that kept coming towards the main camp at this time, then the soldiers in the main camp could still be stabilized.
But the head of the household hesitated. He did not immediately start the command and deployment, but first sought the consent of the third prince.
The third prince hesitated for a moment. His Royal Highness was still a little naive. He thought that not all the soldiers might be frightened and went crazy.
As a result, they missed the best time. By the time they thought about isolating the more than 10,000 people in the Chinese army's main camp from the more than 20,000 people outside, the crowds had already mixed together.
The news became more and more exaggerated. From the beginning, it was said that Juer Khan sent a hundred thousand troops to raid, and gradually it became that Juer Khan invited one hundred thousand demons from Shiva.
At the end, when the horse archers were spraying everywhere with pear spears, Zhang Dahan directly upgraded into Shiva who transformed into a terrifying form. He came to carry out the power of destruction and killing.
At this point, things were basically out of control. Nearly 40,000 people instantly overwhelmed the Chinese army's main camp, with countless twisted faces looking at each other in horror.
The third prince desperately ordered people to beat the war drums, hoping that the sound of the drums would calm down the frightened crowd. Zhang Zhao grinned and said, "If you want to use magic, then let me use magic to defeat magic."
"The royal winds of the four seas have brought pure virtue and clear water for thousands of years; I don't even have to wear military uniforms, so I will be successful today."
Zhang Zhao took the lead in singing the song of King Qin breaking the formation. The song passed through the chaotic battlefield, and the heavy infantry who had been lined up in horizontal rows immediately started singing.
Originally this was just a normal singing, but to the ears of the soldiers of the Balihar Dynasty on the opposite side, it was not so right.
In their opinion, it was the troops on the opposite side wearing strange and terrifying armors who were chanting incantations.
Yes! It was just singing and chanting incantations. They had never heard such a strange tune and accent.
The exciting music and strange tunes hit the hearts of these Asan brothers hard.
They have little knowledge. If it weren't for the war, many of them would never have even left the village. Now a large group of people suddenly appeared. These weird people were saying things they didn't understand and killing them wantonly. Many people were naturally frightened. .
"Bai Congxin, bring your horse archers forward and fire all the pear blossom guns at once!"
"Li Ruotai, put all the armored cavalry in Iron Horse City on top, prepare to charge, and charge towards the place with the weakest number of people!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost up, Zhang Zhao quickly made arrangements. King Qin's formation-breaking music had just finished singing at this moment. The heavy infantry, under the command of the officers, shouted chants and moved out of the way. The archers from Youyidu and Feihudu, A neat team came forward.
Suddenly, the sky was full of sparks, like stars falling from the sky. The blazing fire dragons cascaded from Youyidu, Feihudu and other archers, and rushed towards the soldiers of the Balihar Dynasty on the opposite side like lightning. , the sound shook the world!
Even in later generations, if a thousand large fireworks erupted at the same time, it would be an extremely shocking scene, let alone now.
Has San of the Balihar Dynasty ever seen such a scene? It doesn’t matter whether you are a prince or a head of ten thousand households, your legs were trembling with fright at this horrific scene.
These must be demons sent by Shiva! Otherwise, how could they breathe fire?
The harm is secondary, but the deterrent to people's hearts is definitely extremely fatal.
Just when the flames ejected from a thousand pear guns had not disappeared, Li Ruotai commanded 800 armored cavalry and got ready.
Eight hundred knights on horseback lined up at a distance of more than one meter and rushed forward from the front.
The archers behind also took out their sabers, preparing to follow the heavy cavalry to expand the victory.
The sound of galloping horse hooves hit everyone's heart hard, and the earth trembled. The soldiers of the Balihar Dynasty who had just been frightened out of their wits by the flames of the pear gun suddenly collapsed.
The people were crying and rushing back. No one dared to disperse to the left or right, because the eight hundred horsemen were charging from a distance of more than one meter. There were only eight hundred people, but it looked like an overwhelming force.
Tens of thousands of broken troops, whose spirits had completely collapsed, helped Li Ruotai's armored cavalry break through the last line of defense organized by the third prince and the head of the household, and the entire camp fell into complete collapse.
The second group of horse archers also took advantage of the situation and launched an attack, constantly driving them away, causing even greater chaos.
In the chaos, Zhang Zhao's second group of 3,000 men also arrived, and several parties worked together to drive the defeated troops towards the river.
This was the last moment. Those who were still clear-headed simply put their heads on the ground to express their absolute surrender.
My mind was completely confused, so I jumped into the cold river wearing single clothes. This was early spring in February, and if I went down, I would never come back up again.
"After careful screening, all the nobles will be executed on the spot, and the prisoners will be registered. These are good helpers for you and me to farm in the Ningyuan Basin!"
Zhang Zhao patted Guo Tiance on the shoulder, and he was going to find a place to have a good rest.
King Zhang even felt that he could not fight too many such cruel battles. If he fought too much, he would suffer big losses if he encountered those tough men from the Imperial Army in Kaifeng City in the Central Plains.
