The first thousand two hundred and seventy-ninth chapters really throw away the armor
Chapter 1,279 The real abandonment of armor
Seeing that the enemy began to evacuate from Nanmen, Xu Huang directly ordered his soldiers to rush down the city gate and close the south gate to block the enemy's escape route.
After hearing the military order, soldiers from the Hengye Army soon rushed down the city wall, blocking the enemy who was about to flee, and closing the city gate.
"We surrendered."
"surrender."
"do not fight."
Although the two sides did not understand each other's language, their surrender movements were unified. They dropped their weapons, knelt on their knees, and knocked their heads to the ground, not daring to get up at all.
"Collect the prisoners, and the remaining people will follow me to encircle and destroy the enemies at the north gate."
Seeing that all the enemies had surrendered, Xu Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered his soldiers to go with him to encircle and suppress the North City Gate where the fierce fighting was taking place.
"General, something bad has happened. General Broome has led his troops to escape from the south gate. The remaining soldiers have either followed him or have surrendered to the enemy. Now we are the only ones left here to resist."
Soon the people sent by Parmati returned and told the other party about the situation at the south gate.
"This Broome, the great general asked us to protect his safety. Now he has abandoned us and escaped on his own."
Upon hearing the news, the captains around Parmati became angry. Harivan asked them to protect each other, but who knows that Bloom regarded them as scapegoats.
"Ignore him, gather your troops immediately, attack on the city wall, follow the opponent's carriages, and break out of the encirclement."
Now is not the time to discuss who is right and who is wrong. They will have to break through the encirclement now. Otherwise, if they are really surrounded here, everything will be over.
"As commanded."
Now they still have 6,000 heavily armored infantry left, gathered under Parmati's command, and then returned to the city wall under the leadership of Parmati, catching the Hengye army by surprise.
Facing the desperate Parmati troops, it was impossible for the Hengye army to resist. After all, the opponent was wearing heavy armor and was invulnerable. If it weren't for the existence of this group of people, why would they have fought so hard in the small Zhongxing City.
"Let them withdraw."
Seeing that his soldiers could not stop the enemy even if they suffered heavy losses, Xu Huang immediately ordered the Hengye army to retreat and let the enemy escape.
The Yokoye army retreated, and the Parmati side immediately occupied three carriages and followed the carriages down the city wall.
"General, where should we retreat?
Are you also going south to follow Broome?"
After getting off the city wall, a captain approached Parmati. Now the soldiers were descending the city along the carriage, but where should they retreat?
"Broom went south. He was afraid of meeting the general. We fled north and went to Star City to meet the general."
Parmati thought for a moment. Bloom went south because he was afraid of Hariwan's punishment, but he was not afraid. His best speed was to speed up the round with Hariwan.
"good."
Parmati and his party began to head north, heading towards Star City.
"Sir, my subordinates were incompetent and allowed the enemy to escape."
After Parmati left, the situation in Zhongxing City was no longer in doubt. Jia Xu also climbed up the wall of Zhongxing City under the escort of soldiers.
"You did the right thing. The enemy is now a dead force. As the saying goes, a sadist will win, and the opponent is the best among the best. If you really want to stop the enemy, not only will you not be able to stop him, but you may also lose your troops and generals, Mrs. Zhu Rong."
Jia Xu shook his head. Xu Huang did the right thing. If he really had to fight with the opponent, he would suffer heavy losses.
"The end will be here."
Hearing Jia Xu call her name, Mrs. Zhu Rong directly clasped her fist at him.
"Immediately lead the Wudang flying army to chase them. Remember not to fight with the opponent head-on. Just drive them until they are exhausted and clean up the mess."
A sneer appeared at the corner of Jia Xu's mouth. Although the heavy armored infantry were invincible in battle, their shortcomings were equally obvious, that is, the load was too heavy and could not last long. This offensive and defensive battle was enough for them to drink. Now the opponent wanted to escape again. As long as he
If you chase them away, none of these people will be able to escape.
"As commanded."
Mrs. Zhu Rong immediately rushed out from the north gate with Wudang Feijun and chased Parmati.
"General, the enemy is coming."
When the flying army came to kill him, someone immediately came to report to him.
"Run away, run away."
Now Parmati is also in dire straits. They can only speed up and flee north when the enemy comes to kill them.
Although they wanted to run away, it was impossible for them, wearing heavy armor, to escape the pursuit of the Wudang Flying Army. They were like hunting dogs chasing rabbits, chasing after Parmati without giving them a chance to rest.
As time went by, some soldiers finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell to the ground unable to move.
Wudang Feijun chased after them, and anyone who fell alone and fell exhausted immediately stepped forward to capture them.
"General, I can't run anymore. This armor is too heavy."
Not only ordinary soldiers, but even the captain who followed Parmati couldn't bear it any longer. This armor was an artifact to protect their lives during battle, but now it has become a reminder for them.
Carrying an iron shell weighing dozens of kilograms and even being hit and run, the iron King Kong couldn't bear it, let alone a human being like himself.
After such a long time, less than 4,000 of the 6,000 men were left. The stragglers were not killed, but those who could no longer run and were captured.
"Everyone took off their armor and broke out with me with only their steel swords."
Parmati was also depressed for a while. The current situation was not optimistic. If they were carrying this armor, none of them might be able to escape, and they would all die on the road.
The only solution for now is for a strong man to cut off his wrists and throw away the armor he relies on for a living. Only in this way can he have a chance to escape.
"As commanded."
After hearing Parmati's order, all the soldiers began to take off their armor.
"kill."
Mrs. Zhu Rong kept Jia Xu's order in mind and only chased but not killed. When she saw the enemy stopped, she immediately sent people to scream loudly and did not give them a chance to rest.
"The whole army is marching and disarming at the same time."
Hearing the approaching shouts of killing, Parmati frowned and directly ordered the soldiers to remove their armor while running.
Soon the army was in action, taking off their armor as they ran.
"Barbarian King, what do you think?"
Mrs. Zhu Rong led her men to the place where they were removing their armor. Looking at the messy armor on the ground, she couldn't help but feel depressed.
"No, the enemy already knows his disadvantage. He wants to take off his armor and run away. Dalando, you lead two thousand people behind to collect the armor. The remaining people will speed up with me. They must not be allowed to escape."
"promise."
More than 20,000 Wudang flying troops separated directly. Dalanduo led 2,000 people to collect the armor on the ground. Mrs. Zhu Rong began to speed up and chased the enemy.
"Kemu, you lead a thousand men to wear armor and stop them. The remaining troops will be divided into four groups and evacuate towards Star City."
Looking at the pursuers getting closer and closer, Parmati had no choice but to ask Captain Kemu to lead his men to put on the armor they had just taken off to stop Mrs. Zhu Rong. The remaining three thousand people were divided into troops.
Each of the four routes headed north toward Star City to evacuate.
"Fight to the death and buy time for the general."
A thousand soldiers took off their clothes first, then lined up in two lines. When they saw the Wudang flying army coming to kill them, they directly charged towards them.
"Don't be too eager to fight. Bring them here. You can lead 3,000 men to surround them. Leave the rest of the troops alone and continue to pursue them."
Seeing the enemy coming, Mrs. Zhu Rong could not help but sneer. She knew what the enemy wanted to do better than anyone else.
These thousand people are the death squads. They are meant to delay you and buy time for the army to escape. Since you have such a wishful thinking, you must not let the other party get what they want.
Wudang Feijun divided his troops again and brought the cave master with 3,000 soldiers to encircle and suppress the nearly 1,000 enemies. The remaining people, led by Mrs. Zhu Rong, continued north to pursue the escaping Parmati and his party.
"Barbarian King, they have divided their forces."
As the army marched north, they found clues that the enemy had divided their forces.
"The troops are divided into three groups, pursue them, and fight not to let any of them escape."
Without hesitation, Mrs. Zhu Rong directly ordered her soldiers to be divided into three and pursue them.
In the end, only a thousand of Parmati's people were able to escape, and the ten thousand infantrymen who represented the ceiling of the Kushan Empire were almost wiped out.
"Sir, Zhu Rong is incompetent. They escaped without their armor. I failed to catch up with the enemy's general. Nearly a thousand people escaped."
Mrs. Zhu Rong led the army back to Zhongxing City and returned to Jia Xu.
"I don't care how much the enemy escapes. Have they ever brought back their armor?"
Hearing that the other party took off their armor and escaped, Jia Xu smiled slightly. The reason why he asked Mrs. Zhu Rong to lead her men to pursue but not attack was because he was attracted by their armor. After all, they would realize the disadvantages of the armor during the pursuit.
He will definitely take off his armor to survive.
"Not a single one was left behind, a total of six thousand pieces of armor were brought back."
Mrs. Zhu Rong clasped her fist at Jia Xu again, and all six thousand sets of armor were taken into the city by him.
"Okay, once the armor is brought back, it's settled. Wudang Feijun has worked hard, go down and rest."
Jia Xu nodded, he already got what he wanted, running away from a general was nothing. Anyway, if they attack the Kushan Empire in the future, how many generals might die.
"promise."
Mrs. Zhu Rong left directly and arranged for her subordinate Wudang Feijun to rest. After all, this battle started at the second watch and it was almost dawn. After all, people are human beings and are not made of iron. They still need to rest when they should.
At noon the next day, Gao Shun's people came to report the news to Jia Xu. They were overjoyed to learn that they had captured Zhongxing City, and went directly to the city to report the news.
"You said that General Gao Shun not only did not retreat, he also ambushed the enemy and killed nearly 7,000 enemy cavalry?"
When he heard the news about Gao Shun, Jia Xu's eyes lit up. Originally, he thought that as long as Gao Shun could block the opponent's attack, it wouldn't matter even if he retreated fifty miles.
But what he didn't expect was that the opponent not only did not retreat, but only used a small horseshoe pit to destroy more than half of the enemy's cavalry. This really gave him a big surprise.
"Absolutely true."
The scout nodded at Jia Xu. To be honest, no one could have imagined that this would be the case.
"What is the situation of the enemy's remaining cavalry? Have you found out?"
Now Jia Xu only cares about one thing, and that is what happened to the other party.
"I don't know, but I will come early the next morning to report the news to you."
The scout shook his head. He really didn't know where the enemy was.
"You go down and rest."
"promise."
"Come here, send someone immediately south to Star City to ask General Taishi Ci to postpone the attack to guard against a sneak attack by the enemy."
