The enemy's troops could not disappear out of thin air. The 200,000 Sichuan and Zhen coalition troops who had not gone to the battlefield must have stayed in the camp. However, they rushed down all the way, only to encounter scattered skirmishers. How could Xiao Muqing, who was so smart, not respond to this?
Alert?
He hurriedly ordered the entire army to stop charging and killing. More than 50,000 plain troops all stopped. The soldiers did not understand what was going on. Why did they stop chasing the enemy when their own side had all the advantages?
Xiao Muqing ignored the confused expressions of the people around him. He walked to a high ground and looked around. Well, this spacious and open camp could not be seen at a glance. In the camp, everywhere he looked was filled with military personnel.
The tents and tents were arranged next to each other in an orderly and chaotic manner, but there were very few enemy soldiers. All the enemy soldiers that could be seen were running for their lives towards the center of the camp.
Something is wrong! This battle was fought too smoothly. From breaking through the camp defenses to entering the camp, the combat effectiveness of the Sichuan and Zhen coalition forces was too poor, and the number of troops participating in the battle was too small. There was no determination to fight to the death. You must know that the camp is related to
Once the lifeline of the entire army is destroyed, the baggage and supplies are destroyed, and the food and grass are destroyed, the Sichuan-Zhen Allied Forces will be forced to withdraw. How can they not pay attention to it?
Xiao Muqing has already concluded in his heart that there must be an ambush in this seemingly empty camp, and he must not rush into it again.
He took a deep breath and issued an order. The entire army's rear team should become the front team and retreat along the same route. In addition, during the retreat, they could set fire to as much as they could burn.
Zhan Hu was very puzzled by his order. He rushed back from the front army, found Xiao Muqing, and asked: "General Xiao, the enemy has little resistance, why should our army retreat?"
It was the little resistance from the enemy that made people suspicious. Xiao Muqing had no time to explain to Zhan Hu now, so he said firmly: "No need to ask any more questions, this is a military order! I will explain to General Zhan Hu after we exit the enemy camp.
"
Although Zhan Hu and Xiao Muqing were of the same rank and were both generals, the latter was the commander-in-chief of the entire army. He ordered a retreat, but Zhan Hu had no choice.
When the Pingyuan Army went deep into the enemy camp, they did not encounter many enemy troops to stop them. But when they were about to retreat, they suddenly heard a sharp and long whistle sound from around them, and then countless people poured out of the camps around the Pingyuan Army.
Soldiers of the Sichuan and Zhen armies.
These soldiers, all wearing neat armor and holding weapons in their hands, rushed out of the camp and shouted repeatedly. For a moment, the left and right sides of the Pingyuan Army shouted to kill Zhentian, and countless ambush soldiers rushed forward.
What's even more terrible is that there are a large number of ambushes in front and behind the Pingyuan Army, especially on the side near the center of the military camp. The ambushes of the Sichuan and Zhen armies quickly set up battle formations. Looking up, they saw a crowd of people and a dense darkness.
, there are tens of thousands of troops at least, and more and more enemy soldiers are continuously integrated into the formation, causing the camp to expand rapidly.
The number of enemy troops blocking the retreat of the Pingyuan Army was relatively small, but it exceeded ten thousand people. They were arrayed in the center of the road, with heavy shields in front and densely packed archers behind them.
Just in an instant, the Pingyuan Army was surrounded by enemy troops on both sides, and fell into a tight siege.
There are a large number of enemy soldiers on both sides swarming to kill. In the front, there are enemy archers setting up arrow arrays to block them. In the rear, tens of thousands of enemy troops are gradually increasing in number. They are pressing forward step by step. At this time, it is replaced by any legion.
, any commander would have panicked and the morale of the army would be in chaos, but that was not the case for the Pingyuan Army. When they saw that they had broken into the enemy's ambush, they did not need to wait for orders from their superiors. The soldiers below had automatically and consciously retracted into a ball, shield-bearers.
It stood on the outermost perimeter to block the enemy's charge, while the inner side was filled with soldiers using halberds or spears, placing their weapons on the shoulders or shields of their companions in front.
The Feng Army's array was completed in an instant, with shields forming a steel defense line on the outside. The sharp edges of halberds and spears were all exposed. Looking from a distance, countless blade tips sprouted from the shields, like hedgehogs.
The soldiers of the Pingyuan Army trained quickly, and Xiao Muqing was even more calm. He quickly analyzed the situation on the battlefield. There was indeed an ambush in the enemy camp, but fortunately, our side discovered it earlier and did not completely get into the ambush. Otherwise,
It is not the more than 10,000 archers who cut off our own retreat, but the tens of thousands of enemy troops pressing forward.
While Xiao Muqing ordered the entire army to prepare for battle, he also ordered to retreat along the same route and charge into the enemy's 10,000-person arrow formation.
The Pingyuan army formed a battle formation and retreated step by step. At this time, the enemy soldiers on both sides had already taken the lead in approaching.
Most of these enemy soldiers were Zhenjun soldiers, and they charged and killed them without hesitation. Even though they saw many sharp edges protruding from Fengjun's shield, the soldiers in front still roared and ran forward.
Pounce - the Zhen soldiers' bodies hit countless sharp blades heavily, and were stabbed with holes and bruises. While people screamed and fell to the ground, their comrades behind them jumped high on their bodies that had not yet fallen.
Get up, jump over the Feng Army's shield array, and fall towards the Feng Army inside.
Although they are brave and can jump high enough, the soldiers of the Plains Army are not wooden, so how can they watch them rush into their own camp. The soldiers in front ignore them and continue to use their halberds and spears to kill the enemies in front.
The soldiers in the rear raised their crossbows and fired volleys at the Zhen soldiers who were still in mid-air.
Thump, thump, thump!
The sound of arrows piercing armor and piercing flesh was heard endlessly. Countless Zhen soldiers were still in the air. Before they could jump down, they were nailed into hedgehogs by Feng Jun's crossbow arrows. When they fell into the crowd, they were already dead. But for the charge,
For Zhenjun, death will not scare them away, it will only make them crazier and more desperate.
On the battlefield, a group of Zhenjun soldiers went forward and a group of them died in battle. Many of them were shot down by crossbows before they even rushed to the Fengjun array. Even if they rushed closer, they were soon pierced by the halberds that came towards them.
.However, the Feng Army was not without casualties. From time to time, the shield hand holding the front was chopped down and stabbed by the Zhen Army. At this time, the Feng Army behind would immediately throw away the halberd and spear in his hand, catch the shield, and continue to hold the shield.
in front of.
While the Pingyuan Army blocked the attacks of the Zhen Army on both sides, the entire camp was constantly moving forward. Not long after, the more than 10,000 Sichuan Army archers on the opposite side and the archers in the center of the Pingyuan Army camp shot arrow formations almost at the same time.
I saw two black curtains rising from the heads of the two armies, crossing in the air, and falling on the heads of the enemy troops on the opposite side.
Plop, plop - in an instant, a large number of soldiers in both camps fell down. Hundreds and thousands of people died with arrows stuck in their bodies. Immediately afterwards, the second round of shooting began again, arrows
Arrows kept flying through the air, falling into the crowd, and almost all of them were missed, accompanied by screams.
With more than 10,000 Sichuan troops blocking the front, the retreat speed of the Pingyuan Army was suddenly slowed down. At this time, the number of Zhen troops rushing from both sides was even greater. The most important thing was that the enemy formations behind
They were already close to the rear of the Pingyuan Army. The soldiers on both sides were so close that they could even clearly see the hair on the other side's face and hear the enemy's breathing clearly.
Zhan Hu, who was originally following Xiao Muqing, saw that the situation at the rear of the formation was in danger, and immediately said to Xiao Muqing: "General Xiao, I will go to the rear to break up the rear!"
Xiao Muqing didn't have time to think too much, so she nodded and said, "Be more careful."
"Understood." Zhan Hu dragged his hammer and ran towards the rear of his own camp.
When he arrived at the end of the Pingyuan Army formation, personnel from both sides were already in contact. Both armies were stabbing at the enemy on the opposite side with their long halberds. There were muffled sounds of thumping and thumping, and the ground was covered with the corpses of soldiers from both sides.
Zhan Hu roared, rushed forward, separated his own crowd, and hit the enemy with his wheel hammer.
There are heavy shield hands on the outside of the battle formation, and Zhan Hu's spiritual hammer is hitting the heavy shield. The heavy shield is different from ordinary shields. It is rectangular, erected on the ground, and can reach the height of a person's chest. It is made of pure iron.
It was made, extremely thick, invulnerable to weapons and arrows. But Zhan Hu's heavy hammer smashed down, directly smashing a heavy shield into a U-shape. The shield hand behind was shattered by the sternum, and his whole body fell backwards.
He bounced out and fell into his own crowd, hitting a group of people with him.
Without waiting for the opponent's other heavy shield players to fill the gap, Zhan Hu swept out a heavy hammer to the left and right.
Boom, boom!
With two deafening sounds, two more heavy shields were completely smashed, and the enemy crowd collapsed again.
Taking advantage of the enemy's rare opportunity of confusion, Feng's soldiers drew out their crossbow arrows and pointed them at the enemy's crowd and fired continuously.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The sharp edge of the crossbow arrow hits the steel armor with a crisp sound. If the distance is far, the power of the crossbow arrow is not enough to penetrate the steel armor. But now the distance between the two sides is too close. Although they are not touching each other, they are still less than five steps apart.
, at such a close distance, the crossbow arrows can easily penetrate the steel armor and penetrate the opponent's body.
For a moment, the enemy battle formation on Zhan Hu's side fell into chaos. The heavy shield hand could not hold it up. The wind army's halberd would definitely hurt people if it was thrust at them. The threat of crossbow arrows was even greater, and there were swarms of soldiers.
He fell into a pool of blood.
The chaos here also attracted the attention of the enemy general. Soon, a regiment commander of the Sichuan Army rushed over. When he saw Zhan Hu, who was wearing spiritual armor and holding a spiritual hammer, he raised his sword to chop without saying a word.
Zhan Hu is very powerful and has no worries when facing the enemy. He will hit the opponent head-on with the horizontal hammer without even thinking about it.
Cang - the spiritual knife struck the spiritual hammer, and due to the force of the rebound, it bounced up very high. The leg commander's arm went numb, the tiger's mouth was broken, and the man involuntarily took two steps back. Because he was covered with spiritual armor,
You can't see his expression, but you can tell from his horrified eyes that he was extremely surprised by Zhan Hu's brute strength.
"Take a move from me too!"
Zhan Hu didn't care whether you were surprised or horrified, he struck back and swept across the opponent's waist. The regiment commander already knew that Zhan Hu was extremely strong, so he dared to parry. He hurriedly lowered his body and finally struck the opponent.
Zhan Hu's hammer dodged, but he didn't pay attention to Zhan Hu's kick from below.
When he sensed that something was not good, it was already too late to escape.
There was a click in the helix, and Zhan Hu's kick hit the opponent's face, sending the regiment commander's body flying off the ground.
