Chapter 270 General Iron Mask

The war drums sounded again, fast and dense, full of killing intent.

A thousand fine cavalrymen rushed out from each wing and followed a circuitous route to surround the left and right outer wings of the enemy's position.

Some archers of the Southern Army fired feather arrows, but firstly, the Yan Army's position was at the limit of the range of their crossbows. Secondly, it was difficult to aim in the dazzling setting sun. In addition, the Yan Army's cavalry moved at high speed.

Almost none of the arrows hit.

Zhu Di shouted and took the lead to rush out. Behind him were Zhang Fu on the left, Ma He on the right, and behind him were three thousand elite troops. They rushed into the sparse forest area between the two mountains at full speed, aiming directly at Sheng Yong's Chinese army stronghold.

Three thousand cavalry were arranged in four columns in an orderly manner, with each cavalry separated by two to three cavalry distances from the front and rear. The two outer columns were responsible for killing enemies who dared to approach with long knives and spears, while the two inner columns fired arrows to strike.

The target further away covers the advance of this "iron dragon".

As long as they can break through a gap, their iron dragon will be like a torrent that breaks a dike, washing away and submerging any obstacles that stand in the way.

With a "dang" sound, Zhu Di, who was in the "leading" position, used his sword to deflect a powerful arrow that was shot at him. He yelled "Who can stop me?" and threw the arrow back, hitting the enemy.

A primary school student.

Chen Yuheng and Zhu Qingxiao were wearing armor and mixed in the cavalry queue. They looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Since it was a cavalry battle, long weapons were more practical. Chen Yuheng used a big ax instead, while Zhu Qingxiao rode with him and shot the enemy with a crossbow.

The enemy's troops were noisy, with flags of various colors waving and horns blaring, indicating that Sheng Yong had finally figured out their unexpected tactical intentions and hurriedly mobilized his troops to change formations to fight, but he had lost the opportunity.

Zhu Di shouted, "Sheng Yong, my son, I am here to ask for my life."

Sheng Yong's men were defeated troops who had been reorganized many times. They had already experienced Zhu Di's power. When he opened his mouth, everyone in the southern army immediately knew that Zhu Di was personally leading the attack.

A round of arrows shot at Zhu Di at the dragon's head, but most of them failed due to the glare of the sun and the cover of the sparse forest. The remaining arrows were also knocked away by Zhang Fu and Ma He with their swords.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Confederate soldiers on the front line of the sparse forest were immediately rushed to the ground by the iron dragon. When they saw that the person coming was Zhu Di himself, who was like a hellish Shura, they were trembling and timid and ran in all directions. Zhu Di's three thousand elite troops rushed to the ground.

Like the tip of a spear, it pierced the Chinese army's stronghold behind the sparse forest area.

The shouts of "kill Zhentian" were heard in the sparse forest. The Confederate soldiers in the two villages on the left and right hills had no idea what was happening in the sparse forest. They did not dare to abandon the two villages on the left and right without receiving orders, and tried their best to move closer to the Chinese army.

The three thousand warriors behind Zhu Di still maintained a roughly intact team. The archers in the middle two rows shot arrows like meteors, and it was unknown how many enemy troops they hit. The two rows on the side used their shields to block arrows and defeated the enemy with swords and guns, fully controlling the initiative.

In the hand, use fast to fight slow, and fight quickly.

"boom"

Chen Yuheng used a big ax with a powerful aura to chop into pieces the shield of a Confederate military colonel. The colonel was so frightened that he turned around and ran away.

Zhu Qingxiao looked at the man and pulled the trigger, and the crossbow arrow shot out with a whoosh, hitting the man in the back and shooting the junior colonel to the ground.

"Hit, hit, hit!" She waved her little fist excitedly, and then she was busy reloading the arrows on the crossbow.

"Princess, be careful!" Seeing an arrow coming, Chen Yuheng grabbed the arrow in his hand. He turned to Zhu Qingxiao and shouted, "Don't just dress up with arrows, but also look around."

At this time, some enemy troops seemed to have noticed Zhu Qingxiao's unique identity, and formed a cavalry team of four to attack Zhu Qingxiao.

"Protect the princess" Zhang Fu temporarily left the dragon's head and waved his spear to greet him. He was extremely brave and rushed left and right among the four cavalry without falling behind.

At this time, Zhu Qingxiao loaded the arrow and called out, "Brother Zhang Fu, get out of the way."

Zhang Fu turned his horse and took two steps to the side. Zhu Qingxiao fired a crossbow arrow, but it missed the target and missed the rider. It only hit the buttocks of a war horse.

The horse neighed wildly, threw the rider off the horse, galloped away, and was far away in an instant.

Zhang Fu gave a thumbs up and said, "Shoot the man first, shoot the horse, what a good little princess."

The iron dragon with Zhu Di as the leader quickly broke through the gate of the Zhongjun camp, and the Yan army poured into the camp like a tide, making it difficult for Sheng Yong to restore his decline.

Zhang Fu became red-blooded in the rebellion and launched a merciless massacre of the Confederate troops in the stronghold, leaving their corpses lying across the mountains and grass and rocks stained with blood.

Zhu Di was the first to spot Sheng Yong's commanding flag moving to the hilltop behind among the thousands of troops. He pointed his halberd and shouted "Chase"

Zhang Fu took the opportunity to shout, "Sheng Yong, son, where do you want to escape?"

The sound spread throughout the field, and the Confederate army immediately knew that the commander was retreating and the offensive was slowing down. They all looked at the moving commander's flag.

Zhu Di glanced at Zhang Fu approvingly and shouted, "Sheng Yong accepts his fate!" He took the lead and rushed out of the village gate, heading straight for the retreating Southern Army.

Three thousand Yan troops fought their way through the enemy's central army of nearly ten thousand people, and went all out to harvest the fruits of victory.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Sheng Yong simply turned around and fought back. He and the Southern troops who came to rescue from the left and right villages attacked Zhu Di in front of and behind him, who was in his own hinterland.

For a moment, there were shouts of killing Zhentian in the sparse forest, and the stage of hand-to-hand combat finally arrived.

Sheng Yong was dressed in black armor, and his already ferocious iron mask looked even colder under the setting sun. His spear shot left and right, flying up and down, and in the blink of an eye he had overturned two Yan soldiers. His martial arts was so proficient.

, no less than Zhu Di who was killing people at the dragon's head.

Chen Yuheng saw Sheng Yong who looked like a black shadow from a distance, and felt a chill in his heart.

He firmly protected Zhu Qingxiao behind him and swung his big ax vigorously, trying to eliminate all potential dangers.

Zhang Fu walked up to Zhu Di and said, "How come I have never seen this Sheng Yong so fierce before?"

"The morale of the army has been lost. What's the use of trying to show off the bravery of an ordinary man?" Zhu Di snorted and said, "It's just a stubborn resistance. Kill me."

This battle lasted from dusk until the sky was filled with stars. Zhang Fu, Ma He, Chen Yuheng and others were all wounded and bloody. The number of 3,000 elite soldiers who followed was reduced to more than 2,500, which shows how tragic the battle was.

However, everyone knew that victory was in sight. Seeing Zhu Di's Canglong slashing and killing with swords in front, their morale was extremely high and they were unstoppable.

Sheng Yong tried several counterattacks, but was blocked by the red-eyed Yan army. Finally, he realized that there was no way to save the situation and ordered his men to blow the horn signaling the retreat order.

"Don't run away after me, Sheng Yong." Zhu Di led his troops to pursue him again, chasing for more than ten miles. Suddenly, he heard the sound of a cannon on the left, and another team rushed out of the night.

Zhu Di took a look under the moonlight and saw that the leading general had big ears, eyes like copper bells, and a three-inch beard like a clump of weeds under his chin. He knew who was coming.
