Tantai Xuanye thought about many possibilities, but he did not expect that it would be such a situation.

For a moment, he remembered a piece of information from before.

I heard that Long Rui's army used a special weapon when they attacked Liaoyang City, but even the Liaodong Army didn't know what kind of weapon it was, and Tantai Xuanye didn't know the details.

And for Tantai Xuanye, who only paid attention to the overall situation in the Northeast, the weapons used to attack Liaoyang City were just a small episode and did not need to be investigated in detail. The important thing was that Long Rui's army broke through Liaoyang City and completely annihilated the Liaodong Army. Qin

Xiao became a powerful enemy of Kyoto.

This piece of information had even disappeared from Tantai Xuanye's mind. If the horrific scene in front of him hadn't touched his memory, he wouldn't even have been able to remember that piece of information.

Could it be that the incredible scene that appeared at this moment was caused by the weapon Qin Xiao used to attack Liaoyang City?

What kind of weapon is that?

Tantai Xuanye began training in the army when he was young. He was also familiar with the various weapons of the Tang Dynasty, but in his memory, such weapons never existed.

Seeing his soldiers and horses as if they were in hell, Tantai Xuanye wanted to rush forward to stabilize his position, but the sound of thunder and the pitiful howling in the smoke told him that rushing forward at this moment would undoubtedly lead to his own death.

There was a look of horror in his eyes, and the soldiers of the Shence Army who were in hell were even more stunned.

They were in the smoke and couldn't see clearly what was going on around them. They could only hear the shrill cries of ghosts and wolves, and from time to time, broken limbs and broken arms flew over, their flesh and blood blurred. Such mutilated limbs were far more terrifying than the corpses left after the two armies fought.

Much more.

The center of terror blossoms.

The team at the front was able to avoid the most severe thunderstorms, and the team at the rear also survived.

However, the situation on the battlefield was equivalent to cutting off the Shence Army, making it impossible to communicate from head to tail.

Countless soldiers of the Shence Army who were trapped in the hunting ground had already been torn apart by the thunder. They were not afraid to fight with the enemy, but now they were hunted by the invisible enemy with terrifying methods, and the fear was directly piercing.

to the soul.

They have never encountered such a situation. Even though they are well-trained, they just want to escape from this Shura battlefield.

In the chaos and fear, no one could discern the direction, and almost everyone was scurrying around like headless flies.

At this moment, many soldiers on the Xuzhou Army side were also dumbfounded.

Of course, they did not expect that such a horrific incident would suddenly occur on the battlefield.

Seeing the purgatory-like scene, many Xuzhou Army officers and soldiers felt lucky that they were not the ones caught in it.

However, the generals of the Xuzhou Army quickly ordered the sergeants to line up again.

When the Xuzhou Army charged earlier, it suddenly fell into chaos and retreated. This was of course a trap designed in advance.

However, at the time of the design, all the soldiers were not made aware of it. They only issued a military order to a small group of sergeants to retreat before the battle. Although the sergeants did not understand why such a counterintuitive military order was issued, the soldiers were on the battlefield.

The only thing you can do is obey military orders.

But this small group of sergeants suddenly turned around and retreated, which unsurprisingly caused panic in the entire Xuzhou Army's attacking team. Tens of thousands of soldiers quickly fell into chaos, and then they all fled.

This is of course a ploy to lure the enemy.

Moreover, the retreat of most of the sergeants was completely true, so the enemy retreat scene seen by Tantai Xuanye and Shence Army was completely real. Only in this way could Tantai Xuanye and his soldiers think it was a golden opportunity.

, only then can the Shence Army be lured to attack across the board.

Although this is a tactic to lure the enemy, it is also extremely dangerous.

If the timing of the withdrawal cannot be controlled and the fire thunder does not explode in time, once the Shence Army catches up, the Xuzhou Army will be in chaos and will be in disaster.

All of this was obviously carefully planned before the war.

At this moment, the Shence Army, whose liver and gallbladder were split apart, had completely lost their will to fight. All they could think of was to stay away from this purgatory battlefield and save their own lives.

Although the soldiers of the Shence Army who rushed at the front avoided the thunder that bloomed in the center, the following teams could not keep up. The few troops did not dare to continue forward to the Xuzhou Army's main formation, but they were unable to retreat at this moment.

It was impossible to advance or retreat for a while.

General Dou Lang was one of the generals leading the charge of the Shence Army. At this moment, he was also in shock, and his heart sank to the bottom.

But his military qualities also made him immediately pay attention to Xuzhou Army's movements.

He saw that the soldiers of the Xuzhou Army who had previously fled had stabilized their position under the command of their generals, and that there were messengers in the Xuzhou Army's formation who were quickly conveying military orders back and forth. The originally chaotic Xuzhou Army was quickly regrouping.

General Dou Lang certainly knew that the enemy was preparing to counterattack.

The enemy's mines have caused heavy casualties to the Shence Army. Generally speaking, if an army loses more than 30% of its personnel on the battlefield, it will show signs of collapse. If it exceeds 40%, it will almost collapse. Once it exceeds half, it will almost collapse.

It is difficult to regain combat effectiveness.

Even if the Shence Army is an elite force, it will collapse if it suffers heavy losses on the battlefield.

The thunder array has caused serious attrition of the Shence Army. Although it is impossible to count the number of casualties at one time, this sudden attrition is far more frightening to the soldiers than the attrition caused by the fighting between the two armies.

General Dou Lang knew very well that even if only 10% of the troops were reduced in this way, it would be enough to frighten the soldiers of the Shence Army, causing them to fall into deep fear and collapse.

And judging from the scene, the three groups of soldiers and horses launched by the Shence Army were all hit by the thunder array, and the total number of troops reduced could never reach only 10%.

At this moment, the morale of both sides has completely changed.

The Shence Army, which had previously been full of morale, was shocked by the thunder and fell into deep fear from top to bottom. Its morale could no longer be described as having reached rock bottom, but had completely collapsed.

When the officers and soldiers of the Xuzhou Army witnessed the heavy losses suffered by the Shence Army, their morale was naturally boosted.

Once the Xuzhou Army launches a counterattack, it will be a disaster for the Shence Army, which has already fallen into extreme chaos and panic.

Although Dou Lang will know that the situation is dangerous, if he sits still and waits for death at this moment, he will only face disaster.

He didn't care about the soldiers and horses at the rear. While shouting loudly, he wanted to gather the sergeants in the front team to reorganize. Even if he couldn't stop the enemy's counterattack, he could form a barrier to stop the enemy for a while.

Buy time for the troops in the rear to retreat.

It can be realized that it is too difficult for the soldiers in panic to reorganize into a line of defense.

Seeing that the formation of the Xuzhou Army was gradually taking shape, General Dou Lang was so anxious that he even dismounted his horse and pulled the sergeants in person, scolding them to hold on to their weapons and prepare to face the enemy.

He Taiji's right-wing cavalry suffered heavy losses.

The thunder was no longer as continuous as before and gradually stopped, but the smoke filling the air made it impossible for him to observe the surrounding situation.

His horse had fallen into a pool of blood.

Just now, he was thrown off his horse by the force of the thunder. His head was buzzing, and it took him a while to recover. However, his horse's abdomen had been seriously injured, its intestines were torn open, and its internal organs had leaked out.

He fell in a pool of blood. He was not dead for a while, he was just struggling, but he must not have survived for a long time. The scene was extremely horrifying.

He could only hold his sword tightly and look for his subordinates like a headless fly in the smoke. He reluctantly gathered dozens of cavalry around him. One of the cavalry saw He Taiji walking on foot, but he gave up his horse.

The smoke has not dissipated and it is impossible to identify the direction.

Even if He Taiji wanted to retreat, he didn't know which direction to go for a while.

Wails could be heard constantly in the thick smoke, and from time to time, cavalrymen could be seen struggling and rolling on the ground. Some were missing arms, some were missing legs, and some had their necks cracked. They were covering their wounds with their hands to prevent the blood from draining out.

In some cases, the chest or abdomen burst open and the internal organs flowed out.

The ground was littered with broken limbs, and many cavalrymen were blown to pieces.

The smell of blood mixed with a pungent smell makes people just want to vomit.

He Taiji knew that his cavalry suffered heavy casualties. Under such circumstances, it was impossible to launch another attack on the Xuzhou Army. Being able to withdraw from this damn battlefield was already a blessing from God.

The thunder almost subsided, and the nightmare seemed to be ending.

But suddenly, the sound of fighting was heard not far away.

He Taiji was a little stunned.

The Xuzhou Army obviously paid attention to the thunder and did not attack. In this case, how could there be sounds of fighting in the smoke?

Could it be that this nightmare made the cavalry under his command go crazy and kill each other?

He couldn't help but urge his horse to follow the sound, passing through the clouds of smoke, and soon heard the sound of fighting coming from his side.

Behind him were dozens of cavalrymen who had gathered. He raised his hand and pointed to the side, saying: "Some people, go over there and see what's going on." He sent a dozen people to go over there to check the situation, while he continued.

forward.

Suddenly, I saw a figure fighting in front of me.

I saw only a few masked men in strong clothes and trousers wielding their swords to slash at the lost Shence cavalry. They all looked fierce and evil, but they were like ghosts.

These people have great skills and ferocious sword skills. The Shence cavalry who survived had long been shaken by the thunder. They were all in extreme fear and had lost their will to fight. Now facing these masked men

, just like a group of sheep facing tigers and wolves rushing into the sheepfold, not even a few people resisted, and fell into a pool of blood one after another.

He Taiji's pupils contracted.

He really didn't understand, where did these masked men come from?

Moreover, he heard screams coming from all around, and he knew clearly that these masked men were not the only ones in front of him. In the smoke, a group of ghost-like killers were ruthlessly slaughtering his cavalry.

"General!" A cavalryman beside He Taiji exclaimed: "Look there!"

He Taiji followed his finger and looked over, only to see the ground not far away becoming loose. Soon he saw a person pushing aside a piece of turf on the ground, and then flipping up from the ground. There happened to be two Shence Cavalry next to him. Before he could wait,

When the two men reacted, the masked man who had climbed up from the ground had already rushed over with his knife raised. He raised the knife and cut off the neck of a cavalryman with one blow.

He Taiji finally understood that these masked men were hiding underground. They were indeed lurking underground like ghosts. When the thunder exploded, they emerged from the ground one by one. Taking advantage of the Shence cavalry's absence, they launched a series of attacks.
