Guo Changyu is a veteran of the Beiting Protectorate and a fierce general. He used to follow Zhao Xianfeng in the southern and northern wars, and he was extremely brave.
Because he did not care about life and death, he did not command from the rear, but took the lead and charged forward, which greatly improved the morale of the human soldiers.
In the dark night and dust, nothing could be seen, but the human cavalry followed Guo Changyu's flag and charged back and forth, constantly dividing the enemy's formation. The two sides were fighting inextricably in the desert Gobi.
"Commander Guo, there is news from Sand Dune City that the city has been captured. Deputy Commander Guo has begun to collect the wounded soldiers and move them south. Should we also be prepared to retreat?"
A general wearing armor shouted loudly.
Guo Changyu shouted: "Where are the enemy's reinforcements now?"
The general shouted: "The six-winged army in Hu Yin Ancient City is blocked by the 200,000 women's army of the Tianma Army, hundreds of miles away. They seem to be afraid of the Tianma Army and are still confronting them.
The main force of the enemy's Storm Legion is now less than a hundred miles away from us! We can reach here within half an hour!"
Chapter 4267 Guo Changyu felt very unwilling.
Give yourself a little more time, you don’t need more, two hours is enough.
Even if one's own cavalry soldiers suffer heavy losses, they will definitely be able to annihilate the one hundred thousand six-legged beast cavalry in front of them.
However, the main force of the Storm Legion in Heaven is less than a hundred miles away from the battlefield, and they must retreat.
The leg strength of a six-legged beast rider is much better than that of a human war horse. A distance of a hundred miles can be reached in half an hour.
And half an hour later, it was daylight.
It would be too late to retreat at that time.
Looking at the soldiers fighting hard around him, Guo Changyu looked up to the sky and sighed.
He was a man who understood the general situation. Even though he was unwilling to do so, he still ordered: "Instruct the three armies to retreat south alternately according to the original plan and join forces with the Beiting Cavalry led by Vice Marshal Guo in Dawu Ancient City."
In the melee of a million-level army, it is obviously unrealistic to rely on shouting to convey orders.
You must know that when millions of cavalry gather together, they are as far as the eye can see. When the melee begins, the battlefield stretches out to nearly twenty miles.
The rumble of horse hooves, shouts of death, roars, and screams are intertwined, and any sound will be drowned.
So on the battlefield, there is a unique system beyond language.
Attack with the sound of drums and retreat with the sound of gold.
The noisy gong sound began to center on Guo Changyu and quickly radiated in all directions. The status of the Beiting Cavalry was equivalent to that of the Western Suppressing Army in China. They were well-trained and were the best among the best.
After hearing the news that Ming Jin was withdrawing his troops, the cavalry captains began to gather the soldiers.
In the past ten years, they have practiced attack and retreat countless times.
Before the battle started tonight, the generals of the Beiting Cavalry had held a combat meeting in advance and briefly deployed the combat plan.
Even if they were retreating at this moment, it would not appear chaotic.
The human cavalry quickly attacked the outside of the two wings of the battlefield and left the battlefield. When the main force left the battlefield, there were cavalry who were responsible for blocking the rear and stayed behind.
But they seemed to be worrying too much.
After two hours of melee, more than half of the 100,000 beast-riding vanguards in the heaven were lost.
The most important thing is that Antu Lu still hasn't figured out how many human cavalry are blocking him tonight.
From the beginning of the battle to the end of the battle, all the eyes could see were human cavalry wearing light armor, almost endless.
It is very risky to chase millions of cavalry with only the tens of thousands of remaining beast cavalry.
Moreover, news came from the ancient city of Sand Dune that the city had been destroyed. The main force of 30,000 celestial soldiers who had sneaked into the vicinity of Yumen Pass in disguise a few days ago were guarding the ancient city of Sand Dune to wait for help. Within three hours, they were massacred by human warriors.
There is no point in moving forward now.
It would be safer to wait for the main force of the Storm Legion to arrive before heading south together.
The sun finally tore through the darkness, and the bloodiest night was over.
The ancient city in the sand dunes was filled with thick smoke, the city walls were stained red with blood, and corpses were piled inside and outside the city walls.
But it's strange, there are only corpses and no weapons.
Guo Changzhuo is a man who knows how to live a good life. Before retreating, he also cleaned the battlefield and took away the swords left on the battlefield, the scimitar arrows inserted into people's bodies, and the Zhangba spear nailed to the city wall for use as a spiral staircase.
It was taken away.
This is a protracted battle, and we must live our lives carefully.
As for the battlefield in the Gobi desert in the north, it was very messy.
Guo Changyu was too late to clean up the battlefield. As a result, many injured human cavalry did not die, but fell from their horses and fell to the ground. They became the targets of the heavenly warriors to vent their anger.
At dawn, the main force of the Storm Legion finally arrived at the battlefield ruins. They did not immediately pursue the human cavalry retreating south, but were cleaning up the battlefield.
The living war horses were gathered together by them.
Weapons such as swords, bows and crossbows were gathered together by them.
Horses that were seriously injured or had been killed in battle were also collected by them.
As for the human cavalry who were still alive on the battlefield, their heads were chopped off by them.
This battle was of great scale, and the number of human warriors who were left behind due to injuries could be estimated at tens of thousands.
At this moment, the battle is not over for them.
Because their lives are not over yet, they still have one breath left.
"ah!"
A human warrior with a broken arm suddenly pushed away the body of a comrade who was pressing on him, jumped up, and stabbed the armor of a celestial soldier who was cleaning the battlefield.
Immediately, he was cut into dozens of pieces by the surrounding heavenly soldiers.
A human cavalryman, whose intestines were spilled from his stomach, fell together with a celestial soldier, with the scimitar in his hand still inserted into the enemy's chest.
Anyone who looks at it can tell that this human soldier is already dead.
Two heavenly soldiers were working hard to separate the two corpses.
Suddenly, the soldier who should have died long ago suddenly opened his blood-red eyes.
He let out the last roar of his life, suddenly pulled out the scimitar from the corpse, and looked at the enemy who was close at hand.
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles.
A tall and mighty general wearing armor, covered in blood, holding a spear that was also soaked in blood.
His body was shaky and he looked around at the dozens of celestial cavalry who were riding six-legged beasts and wearing black masks.
This is the highest-ranking man left on the battlefield.
His name is Tong Boyi.
A tough-minded man from Guanzhong.
Antu Lu rode a tall beast and came to Tong Boyi.
He said: "General, your war is over. As long as you surrender and surrender to the heaven, I guarantee that you will receive the preferential treatment you deserve, and I will let you command a hundred thousand servants and horses."
Tong Boyi said: "No wonder you are collecting war horses and you want to form a servant army! Hahaha, it's a pity that you have found the wrong person! I, Tong Boyi, am from Chang'an, Guanzhong. Thousands of years ago, the ancestor of my family, Tong Lu, followed Taizu in the army. Over the past thousand years,
My Tong family has been deeply favored by the emperor, and more than 300 direct descendants have entered the officialdom. Among the military generals, the highest official is the Grand Manager of the West Courtyard, and the highest civil servant is the Prince Young Master and holds the title of National Master.
Although I, Tong Boyi, am incompetent, I will never disgrace my family's reputation.
Ten years ago, I followed the young marshal to participate in the Battle of Eagle Beak Cliff. After several battles, I personally killed four of the Heavenly Realm's knights. In tonight's battle, I killed two of them.
I am good enough to die without regrets.
It's really ridiculous to ask me to surrender to the heaven and become its servant army. It's extremely ridiculous! Hahaha..." Tong Boyi looked up to the sky and laughed with great enthusiasm, chanting slowly.
It's not a war song, but an opera with a rich Qin opera.
Traveling less and less to Guanxi to invade the imperial state, a battlefield is set up in front of Dongjiaqiao.
Whip down Dong Long and Dong Hu, support the eldest brother to become the emperor... The soldiers in the heaven looked at each other, they couldn't understand what Tong Boyi Ghost was singing.
They couldn't understand it, but the human soldiers still alive on the battlefield could understand it.
What Tong Boyi sang was the famous Qinqiang opera "Loyalty and Righteousness", which also has a more famous name "Beheading the Yellow Robe".
