Chapter 921 Under the Iron Hoof (14)
The battlefield outside Wuguan has come to an end, and the corpses of Yan soldiers are lying all over the ground.
The Xuanwu Army and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were coming and going to clean up the battlefield, and when they encountered defeated soldiers, they basically dealt with them with one blow.
Three military flags were placed high on the battlefield and fluttered in the wind.
The great banner of the King of Liang and the flags of the two armies.
The Yan army's cavalry was okay. After withstanding the first wave of Xuanwu army's charge, they retreated hastily and did not dare to fight again.
But the tens of thousands of infantry were in dire straits. Faced with a charge by heavy cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry, the formation was instantly shattered, and there were countless casualties.
The so-called horse-rejection formation was only a deterrent to ordinary cavalry, but they really couldn't handle the heavy cavalry with both men and horses.
In addition, this time the Yan army attacked with the mentality of eating the tiger and leopard cavalry. They did not carry many horse-repelling equipment, and they did not expect that the Liang army would penetrate the formation.
You can't beat them even if you run. Can you outrun a war horse? Most of the infantry can only die in fear.
It would be no exaggeration to describe the entire battlefield as littered with corpses and rivers of blood.
Xiang Jian, shrouded in iron armor, walked around the battlefield, looking left and right. The armored war horse was led behind him, and his strong figure was as tall and straight as a hill.
"Dang~"
A wounded soldier of the Yan army appeared out of nowhere and slashed Xiang Jian on the thigh while he was not paying attention.
However, he hit the armor with a scimitar, and apart from a crisp sound, there was no other sound.
Xiang Jian turned his head in shock and saw a trembling Yan Bing holding a knife and swinging around.
"Don't, don't come over!"
Yan Bing's voice was filled with tears, and he stepped back step by step. His instinct just now was to cut it out with a knife, but now his mind was clear about what kind of monster was in front of him.
"Really, you are looking for death!"
Xiang Jian was not even interested in taking out the weapon. He just picked up Yan Pawn with one hand like a chicken, and then punched him in the chest with his right hand.
"Pfft!"
Yan Bing, who fell to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood. The punch was powerful and heavy. After a few painful twitches, the wounded soldier stopped moving.
"General Xiang, your Xuanwu Army has attracted a lot of attention today, tsk tsk~"
A familiar voice came, and Xiang Jian turned his head and found Chen Yue and Chu Yucheng sitting on horseback looking at him.
As for Zhuge Tutu, who had been watching the battle on the hillside before, he returned to Wuguan under the escort of Chenyue's personal guards.
I am a monk, but I still can't bear to set foot on a battlefield full of dead bodies.
Xiang Jian quickly took off the iron helmet on his head, cupped his fists and shouted:
"I have met the prince! Chu Duhu!"
Chenyue turned over and dismounted and said with a smile: "How about it? It's your first time going into battle. How does this armor look like?"
"It's great! It's a magical weapon!"
Xiang Jian laughed wildly, hit his breastplate hard with his helmet twice, and said triumphantly: "With this thing protecting you, ordinary weapons can hardly cause any harm to the soldiers, just like the indestructible King Kong."
body!"
"What else?" Chu Yucheng also asked enthusiastically.
Xiang Jian thought for a while and muttered: "It's really laborious. Even if you have this kind of physique, you will be quite exhausted after a battle. I'm afraid the other brothers will not be much better."
Chen Yue and the other two nodded. Even though the heavy armor has been improved by the Mo family and is lighter than before, it is strange that it is not tiring to wear such a heavy thing on the body.
"No? Think again, think again, think again!" Chen Yue stared and asked for more details.
Xiang Jian, on the other hand, dragged his cheeks and poured out his experience of this battle.
From the movements of spears and swords to the cavalry formations and the coordination between the front and rear rows of soldiers, everything is covered.
Chen Yue and the other two listened with great interest.
After all, the Xuanwu Army is the biggest weapon in the army, and it is the first time the Liang Army appears. They must know the characteristics of the Xuanwu Army well, so that they can reasonably command the Xuanwu Army in combat in the future.
You can't just send out heavy cavalry in every battle. The loss of any of these heavy armor and powerful soldiers will cause Chenyue heartache.
As the saying goes, good luck must be applied to the edge of the knife.
"Your Majesty, Lord Chu, I can only think of so much~" Xiang Jian scratched his head honestly, his mouth was already dry from talking.
"Yes, the Xuanwu Army has become a success. We just need to strengthen training on some small details. General, go and rest. This armor can be taken off." Chen Yue laughed with satisfaction.
"promise!"
Xiang Jian cupped his fists and shouted before retreating with his men.
Chu Yucheng twisted his neck, looked to the northwest and said, "Now we have to see whether we can win a big victory on the battlefield of Yuanchuan Peak."
Chenyue smiled slightly: "Don't worry, we will definitely win~"
…
The Yan army's siege camp outside Wuguan was in a mess, and from time to time broken troops who had withdrawn from the battlefield poured into the camp.
Mu Yun Duankang and Baili Shenlue stationed their horses at the entrance of the camp in a somewhat embarrassed manner, looking at the defeated troops in the camp with ugly expressions.
"Damn, I suffered a big loss this time!" Mu Yunduankang muttered angrily.
Regardless of the casualties of the several cavalry armies, at least half of the 10,000-man infantry phalanx was lost.
As for the remaining half, it is not certain whether they can escape alive.
"I'm afraid we won't be defeated here~" Baili Shen's eyes were solemn.
"What do you mean?"
Mu Yunduankang was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly reacted: "Are you saying that Chen Yue is still going to attack Mu Yunba?"
"It's very possible!" Baili Shen nodded: "Although I don't have any evidence, looking at Liang Jun's posture today, it is obvious that this battle has been planned for a long time."
"Damn it! Hateful!" Mu Yunduankang shook his riding crop angrily.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Lord Zhao Ping Ling! Are you okay?"
Tuotuo Buhua rode up to the two of them panting.
This guy was also very lucky, and he actually survived a head-on confrontation with the Xuanwu Army.
But the 7,000 cavalrymen under him were not so lucky. There were only more than 2,000 people following him, and the others either died in battle or fled in all directions.
Mu Yunchang nodded with a cold face, and then asked: "How is Liang Jun? Is there any movement?"
Tuotuo Buhua said in a deep voice: "I haven't caught up yet, I guess I'm dealing with the remaining soldiers on the battlefield."
"Hateful!" Mu Yunduankang gritted his teeth.
Bailishen said in a solemn tone: "This place is too close to the battlefield. Even if the Liang army does not pursue us, we cannot stay any longer. We should quickly withdraw to the Chinese army camp."
"That makes sense." Although Mu Yunduankang was unwilling to do so, he still nodded.
"What about this camp?" Tuotuo Buhua asked.
"No, all equipment will be removed overnight!" Baili Shen said decisively:
"This camp is not strong against the heavy cavalry. The army must retreat back to the camp first, strengthen the camp, and then discuss the aftermath!"
Mu Yunduankang waved his hand: "Go and do as Zhaoping ordered!"
