Chapter Thirty-Eight: Decisive Battle at Wolf Mountain
Soon the Liangzhai was destroyed.
Blood spilled down the ramp of the grain village, dyeing the entire ground red.
Wu Jie looked at the granary in front of him, his face muscles trembling with excitement.
There were six thousand men and horses when they came, but now there are only two thousand people left. Such casualties are not small.
But the results achieved are indescribably rich.
All of the Northern Barbarians' grain stores were here. This place was destroyed. Even if the Barbarian army wanted to raise more grain, it would take at least half a month. However, the weather was about to turn cold and winter was approaching. The Northern Barbarians simply couldn't afford it, and they themselves couldn't afford it. Don't give them a chance to delay.
It can be said that once the food here is destroyed, the Northern Barbarians will undoubtedly be defeated.
After more than ten years of fighting, he finally came out on top. Thinking of this, Wu Jie wanted to look up to the sky and scream: "Xiao Chi, you are defeated!"
However, after thinking about it, Wu Jie calmed down. Now that he has a chance to win, the next step is a great opportunity to gain credit for himself.
He ordered some of his people to stay behind and light the provisions at midnight, then hurried back with the remaining troops around him.
Compared with Wu Jie's luck, Xiao Chi's face on the other side of the battlefield became even more ugly.
When Wu Jie left the camp, he had already made defensive arrangements. The Tiangan army had gathered early and formed a formation. Relying on this favorable terrain, the battlefield in front turned into a meat grinder, continuously devouring the lives of soldiers on both sides.
"Hey, this is really a Shura field!
"
In the woods in the distance, Xu Tong and his party had rushed back early. Gao Zhuo couldn't help but feel his scalp numb when he looked at the red-eye-killing battlefield in front of him. The total number of both sides was almost 200,000, which made the battlefield in front of him... It has turned into a sea of blood, filled with murderous intent, turning into a dark cloud over Langshan Mountain.
Xu Tong used his Life Eye to look around the Qimen, and found that the fate of the two camps was entangled, just like a fight between a dragon and a tiger.
It's just that the Qi phase on Tiangan's side is obviously much weaker, probably because Wu Jie, the coach, is not here.
"General, you see, the left and right sides have been blocked by the northern barbarians. The cavalry in the camp cannot charge out. How about we attack from the side and defeat the barbarians on his right first!"
Wu Zhe pointed to the barbarian army on the right side of the camp and said.
"No! No one is allowed to move without my order!"
However, Xu Tong did not adopt Wu Zhe's suggestion. Their total number was only 3,000. Even if they added the Dream Demon Cavalry, they would disappear without a trace like a drop of water falling into the stream. They could not control it at all. Such a large-scale war.
If he activates the Nine Immortals Cauldron, he may be able to kill most of these barbarian troops with this treasure, but once the Nine Immortals Formation is deployed, the soldiers on Tiangan's side will also be affected.
The Nine Immortals Formation has no ability to identify ourselves and the enemy. Except for those who control the formation, it attacks almost indiscriminately.
So now is not the time for them to take action, they have to wait!
Xu Tong looked in the direction behind Beiman, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Come on, don't retreat!
"
Wanyan Hushui, who was responsible for the attack, stood at the rear and supervised the battle, waving his sword.
The army attacked Tiangan's camp in front with all its strength! At the same time, all kinds of siege equipment launched a full-scale attack. Bows and crossbows were flying everywhere, and iron cannons roared!
However, the Tiangan camp itself occupies a geographical advantage, not to mention that it has been prepared for a long time. I saw a dark crowd of Tiangan warriors. Hundreds of them were divided into a group. The front row held shields and the back row brandished swords. They slowly moved to the rhythm of drumsticks. Crush the barbarian army in front.
Under the collision of flesh and blood and swords, the warriors on both sides almost turned red-eyed.
Everyone couldn't see clearly what was going on around them, so they could only rush forward in a crowd to the sound of drums. During this period, someone was unfortunately hit by an arrow and fell to the ground. Before he could get up, he was kicked one after another by the brothers behind him.
Trampled alive into a pulp.
Maybe someone saw it, but no one dared to stop, and they were not allowed to save people. If they stopped, they would die.
"Boom boom boom..."
People around him were constantly being hit by artillery, and blood was sprinkled on everyone's face like rain. Occasionally, you could see stumps and broken arms falling on you.
But in this meat grinder-like battlefield, all everyone can do is rush forward, wave the sword in their hands, aim at the enemy's head and smash it...
"General, we can't fight any longer. We've almost lost all our brothers. We need to retreat first and wait until the armies on the left and right come in before we charge."
A commander under Wanyanhu's sailor looked at the soldiers in front of him who suffered heavy casualties, his eyes were red.
Wanyan Hushui was more anxious than anyone else, but seeing the casualties of rushing forward like this increasing, he began to retreat. When he looked around, he saw that Wang Maochang's troops on the right had not moved yet.
, gritted his teeth and asked the troops to retreat.
But his withdrawal made Xiao Chi behind him so angry that he almost cursed his mother.
"Idiot, whoever asked him to retreat should give me the order. If anyone among the three armies dares to retreat, I will kill him!
"
After Xiao Chi gave the order, he pulled out the sword from his waist and rushed forward to supervise the army himself.
But his subordinates hurriedly stopped him, not daring to let Xiao Chi get into danger easily. After all, he was the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If he made a mistake, the entire barbarian army would be in chaos.
"Commander, wait a little longer. General Zhenzuo's men have already rushed into the enemy camp. General Wang Maochang has blocked the right side. Their cavalry cannot rush out, and Tiangan will be defeated!"
The cronies stopped Xiao Chi and sent him the battle report from the front.
Xiao Chi's face looked much better now. There was no commander in chief of the three armies, and there were more than a dozen generals fighting on their own. No matter how well they cooperated, it was impossible to see clearly the direction of the situation on the entire battlefield.
Just as Tiangan is currently stubbornly defending, it is completely a fight between trapped beasts. If Wu Jie were here, he would definitely try his best to have Tiangan's cavalry break out of the camp from the rear, cooperate with the front army, and break up the front army's offensive.
But judging from the current situation, Tiangan is already in disarray, and victory is only a matter of time.
But for some reason, Xiao Chi always had a very bad feeling in his heart.
"Why hasn't Wu Jie come back yet..."
Xiao Chi glanced sideways in the direction of Liangzhai. Normally, if he didn't go to reinforce, Wu Jie must have known that his plan had been discovered. At this time, he should have rushed back to support, but he has not been seen yet...
Thinking of this, Xiao Chi had already roughly thought of the reason, but the reason only dared to flash through his mind and he did not dare to think about it in depth.
This is how people are, the more at such a time, the less likely they are to reject themselves easily.
Even though he knew that he might fall into the trap, he still gritted his head and felt that he was not wrong. Even if Wu Jie really went to steal the camp, it didn't matter. As long as he defeated the main force of Tiangan in front of him, he could retreat in style.
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Chi took a look, and when he saw Wanyan Hushui who started to retreat again, Xiao Chi had the intention to kill this guy.
Fortunately, at this moment, a rapid eagle cry tore through the sky.
Then I saw a huge kestrel descending from the sky and flying over the heads of everyone on the battlefield. When it appeared above the Tiangan camp, its wings spread out, and a huge demonic wind swept away sand and rocks, instantly causing the Tiangan forward army to become chaotic.
Immediately after the kestrel soared into the sky, its bright red wings flapped, changing the direction of the wind in the sky and the earth, causing the Northern Barbarian army to instantly stand downwind.
“It’s the Kestrel Eagle King!
"
Seeing this kestrel, Xiao Chi and others were greatly inspired.
Even the morale of the Northern Barbarian troops increased greatly.
The Kestrel Eagle King is Xiao Leshan's calling card. Even if he does not personally participate in the war, he is still a symbol of the entire Northern Barbarian spirit.
What surprised the Northern Barbarians even more was what came next.
Just listen to "Boom!" in the distance!
"With a loud noise, the mountains exploded, and the vitality chariot rushed into the battlefield.
The huge chariot rushed towards Tiangan's camp.
The muzzles of the cannons protruded from the side of the Yuanqi chariot. As the muzzles emitted a dazzling light, a scorching energy bullet flashed out from the muzzles. In an instant, the strong light turned the surrounding world into black and white. The next second A large crater with a diameter of ten meters was blasted in front of Tiangan Camp.
The formation of Tiangan's forwards was defeated on the spot.
"Hahahaha, I came back at the right time, kill me!
"
Yeluqi's face was full of excitement. Although he didn't know why Xiao Chi suddenly attacked Tiangan, now it seems that it is a good choice.
“Boom boom boom!
"
At this time, several loud noises suddenly came from behind Tiangan Camp.
Di Qiu's expression changed, and he quickly controlled the Yuanqi Chariot to retreat. Soon huge flames exploded around the Yuanqi Chariot. The terrifying impact turned into purple smoke in the air, causing the Yuanqi Chariot to lose control instantly and almost Was thrown out.
Yeluqi and others fell to the ground in embarrassment, almost falling into the vitality furnace.
"It's the Mighty Cannon!
"
As soon as the chariot stabilized, Di Chou quickly controlled the chariot to retreat.
This is Tianqian's powerful cannon specially used to deal with Yuanqi chariots. It has the power to crack mountains and crack rocks. Every cannonball has the power of destruction. The strong gunpowder smell contained in it is dozens of times stronger than the Vulcan bullets in Shenwu Pass.
It's just that this thing is too expensive. One cannonball costs thousands of taels of gold.
Therefore, Wu Jie had already given instructions not to fire unless he saw the vitality chariot.
Now four shells exploded around the Yuanqi Chariot at the same time, almost destroying the Yuanqi Chariot. Fortunately, Tianqian lacked unified command and the Shenwei cannon fired too early. If Wu Jie was there, he would definitely leave these four artillery pieces in the Yuanqi Battle. When the car rushed into the front camp, it fired again.
Now Yeluqi and others did not dare to rush in again, but the front camp had been torn open at this moment, and even if they did not rush in, they still had a chance of victory.
"kill!
"
Wanyan Hushui raised his sword and took the lead, rushing towards the gap that was opened.
This is not because Tianqian’s generals are too incompetent, but because everyone is fighting independently without a unified order, causing chaos.
"Haha, we win!"
Xiao Chi sat at the rear and saw that the gap in the front camp had been torn open, and his mood suddenly improved.
"Send the order, the whole army will attack!"
Following Xiao Chi's order, the 30,000 Northern Barbarian troops in the rear quickly charged forward. Xiao Chi planned to engulf the entire Tiangan camp in one go this time.
However, not long after the army from the rear attacked, the sound of galloping horses suddenly came from the hilltop on the side. In a moment, a cavalry led by more than a hundred dream demon hussars rushed out of the mountain forest and headed straight for Xiao Chi.
