337: The whole army is destroyed! Xie Wei is captured!
The Zhiwei army first experienced a disastrous defeat. In just a few hours, more than 80,000 people died, leaving only more than 60,000 people in the 150,000-strong army. [[ ?{<
Next, the bridge on the Tianshui River behind the army was destroyed, and the army's retreat was blocked.
Then, the army's food and grass were burned.
In the end, Sauron's Griffin Cavalry launched four days and four nights of non-stop air raids and bombings, leaving the surviving 50,000-strong army unable to sleep for four days.
His mental distress reached the extreme, his body was on the verge of collapse, and his morale was completely shattered.
Then, Sauron suddenly released 25,000 extremely fierce cavalry who were waiting for work and rushed to kill the mighty camp!
Even though it was an army of 25,000 versus 50,000.
However, one side has been recuperating for more than ten days. It is full of fighting spirit, full of energy, and has strong troops and horses.
Although there are more than 50,000 people on the other side, they are extremely trapped, depressed and depressed. They haven't slept well for four days and nights, and they can't help but stand up.
Moreover, in order to prevent the recurrence of the frightened war horses that bombed the camp, Zhiwei dispersed more than 20,000 cavalry into various camps.
Therefore, at this time, his more than 50,000 remnant troops did not have a viable force to stop Sauron's 25,000 cavalry.
Under the leadership of Ashili Ren and Yan Naier, 25,000 cavalry continued to increase, increase, increase...
The fortifications of the Zhiwei camp have been completely blown to the ground, and they are completely flat, unable to stop Sauron's cavalry.
Feeling the ground shaking, Zhiwei struggled to stand on the commander's platform. Seeing Sauron's cavalry being used like a tidal wave of ferocious beasts, he was suddenly frightened.
He clearly felt that his end had come!
"Assemble, assemble, array, array..."
His generals were still unwilling to give up their last hope. They fought and kicked, and gathered in formation for the final battle.
Countless soldiers stood up with difficulty, grasped the weapons in their hands, and began to eagerly form a defensive formation. Although it was crooked, it was at least a formation.
Originally, they wanted to assemble the scattered cavalry battalions again and fight Sauron's cavalry at once.
But it's obviously too late!
After exhausting their efforts, Zhiwei's elite generals gathered tens of thousands of troops and formed an array!
After the previous disastrous defeat, the Zhiwei army retreated seven miles, and then set up camp with the intention of besieging the Fenglei Fort defense line.
The distance of seven miles takes less than a quarter of an hour for elite cavalry.
The war horse that has been raised for so many days and eats refined grains, alfalfa, and eggs is full of powerful strength.
From the moment the Fenlei Castle defense gate opened, the mighty army was sure that Sauron's final attack was about to begin.
Time was running out, and it took less than two-quarters of an hour for the extremely trapped and depressed army of more than 50,000 to barely complete the final assembly.
Fifty thousand troops, arranged in five square formations, looked at Sauron's cavalry coming like a tidal wave.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Sauron's cavalry came closer and closer.
Two miles.
One mile.
Three hundred meters.
two hundred meters,
One hundred meters.
Looking at the fierce and fierce Sauron cavalry so close at hand, the feet of the majestic soldiers were shaking. At this time, they had already forgotten their sleepiness, only endless fear and coldness.
Fifty meters.
Thirty meters.
Ten meters...
"boom……"
Sauron's twenty-five thousand cavalry suddenly collided directly with the majestic army formation.
A loud bang!
Like a stormy wave, it crashed violently onto the embankment.
The Rouran war horse is famous all over the world. It is tall and strong, weighing up to a thousand catties. When it fully jumps and runs, the impact it brings is unparalleled.
A little sluggish, then overwhelming!
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
After the mighty army was hit by the enemy, their muscles and bones were instantly broken, and countless corpses flew out.
The extremely terrifying kinetic energy instantly shattered the defensive formation of the mighty army.
The mighty army of sleepy people is completely unstoppable.
The elite Rouran cavalry don't need to do anything. They only need to draw their sabers, which are always at hand.
The sharp saber, driven by the astonishing momentum of the war horse, quickly cuts through every enemy.
Looking down from the air!
The mighty army of more than 50,000 people looked like a dense mass of darkness. When arrayed, it was several miles long and wide.
Sauron's twenty-five thousand horsemen were shining with silver.
After the collision, it was like plowing a field, crushing it crazily.
Layer after layer of defensive formations of the mighty remnant army were broken through.
Countless soldiers died when their horses collided with each other and were cut into pieces by sabers.
The expressions of the soldiers at the back began to change drastically, showing extreme fear and horror.
Already with low morale, coupled with days and nights without sleep, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers finally collapsed completely when faced with death.
The first soldier suddenly threw away the weapon in his hand and began to run in both directions, unwilling to resist the crazy charging Sauron cavalry.
Then the second, the third...
Finally, the surviving Zhiwei army collapsed completely.
The array that was barely assembled was shattered in an instant, and countless soldiers ran wildly.
"Surrender without killing, surrender without killing, surrender without killing..."
"Surrender without killing!"
Sauron's cavalry shouted in unison.
The soldiers of the mighty army who fled frantically threw away their weapons, put their heads in their hands, and knelt on the ground.
Countless soldiers avoided the impact of Sauron's cavalry, ducked to both sides, and knelt down to surrender.
…
Although he had expected this scene, when it happened, Zhiwei's body was still cold and his heart ached.
He had managed an army of 150,000 for seven or eight years before he had this army.
Over the years, nearly one million gold coins have been invested in this army.
Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a day.
However, when this army was actually used, the entire army was destroyed.
His seven or eight years of hard work, and the soldiers of the entire Southeast Province, have all been lost under Fenglei Castle.
We cannot blame this army for its poor combat effectiveness. In fact, although this army cannot be said to be the elite in the world, both its soldiers and generals are very outstanding.
Throughout the battlefield, the soldiers were not afraid of death and dared to fight. Even when faced with a terrible situation, there was no major mutiny. They knelt down and surrendered until the end.
The senior generals were also meticulous and did not make any mistakes in command or tactics.
The only person who made mistakes was him, the supreme commander, who made mistakes again and again.
First, they were so happy that they didn't wait for the arrival of Turing Tuo's army, and they didn't even have time to set up camp, so they directly attacked Fenglei Castle's defense line.
After suffering a huge defeat, he was unwilling to accept the reality. He should have led the army to retreat to Baiyun County. This way, although it would cause great damage to his reputation and future, he could at least preserve the surviving 60,000-strong army.
However, for his own selfish interests, he made the decision to stay behind and besiege Fenglei Fort's defense line.
Then, Sauron was asked to destroy the bridge on the Tianshui River behind him and eliminate the defenders on the west bank of the river. At this point, the army's retreat was completely cut off. From that time on, the fate of the mighty army was doomed.
"The soldiers are right, the generals are right, the only thing wrong is my power!"
"It hurts me..."
With a scream of pain, Duke Zhiwei covered his heart, his face twisted, a mouthful of black blood spurted out, and he fell directly to the ground, his life or death uncertain.
"Father, father..."
"Your Majesty the Duke, Your Majesty the Duke..."
Dozens of warriors rushed forward and picked up Duke Zhiwei.
"Your Majesty, you must escape immediately and take the Duke with you. Once you fall into the hands of Sauron, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Therefore, Prince Jiyou quickly changed his clothes, and more than a hundred of his trusted warriors and dozens of dragon shooters protected the unconscious Duke Weiwei and Prince Jiyou. They took advantage of the rebel army to flee and fled towards the high mountains in the south.
In fact, a few days ago, some people advised Zhiwei to run away quickly, but he refused them all.
He, a majestic Duke, couldn't afford to be embarrassed. He abandoned tens of thousands of troops and ran away before the battle was over. He really couldn't afford to be embarrassed.
In the end, he still had to escape, and he escaped in such a hasty and embarrassing manner.
Prince Jiyou felt desolate in his heart. He had suffered such a tragic defeat. Even if he escaped, he was afraid that he would only be an idle member of the royal family in the future.
Originally, he wanted to succeed his father as governor of the Southeast Province, but now it seems that it has been completely ruined.
In the next few days, he will be a coward, watching the Turing family become arrogant.
However, being able to escape is the most important thing!
Under the protection of more than a hundred confidant warriors, Crown Prince Miyu climbed the mountain with difficulty using his hands and feet. After a while, his hands and feet were scratched and dripping with blood.
After a lot of effort, I finally climbed up the mountain with an altitude of 700 to 800 meters.
Look down at the entire battlefield!
It's really a crushing defeat. The battlefield below has come to an end.
After the first soldier knelt down and surrendered, the remaining tens of thousands of soldiers knelt down like wheat blown by the wind.
From the time Sauron's cavalry started charging to the end of the battle, it probably lasted less than an hour.
In one hour, 25,000 cavalry completely defeated an army of 50,000.
While Prince Youyou was heartbroken, he also felt extremely fearful.
Nearly two years ago, he first saw Sauron at the Linhai City Lord's Mansion, where he was returning home. Although he was extremely handsome, he was like a bereaved wild dog with no place to stay.
At that time, how could Jiyou take Sauron into his eyes at all? He and Gui Xingnegative worked together to bully and humiliate him.
In less than two years, Gui Xingfu turned into a wild dog and Linhai City was occupied.
And his dignified royal son, the future Duke of Southeast, also ran away like a wild dog.
What a twist of fate!
Now all hopes can only be pinned on the Duke of Turingto.
Compared to his father, Turing Tuo is a seasoned battlefield marshal. He has an army of 200,000 at hand, three times that of Sauron.
In addition, Sauron has experienced two battles in a short period of time, and his army is exhausted. I believe he is no match for Turing Tuo's 200,000 troops.
Probably the outcome of Tianshui City's destruction cannot be changed.
However, all the credit and honor belong to Turing Tuo alone.
His father, Zhiwei, will become that sad stepping stone!
…
At this time, more than a hundred confidant warriors were protecting Jiyou and Duke Jiwei. They were far away from the battlefield and were about to escape.
Prince Youyou said: "They say that Sauron is unparalleled in his wit and scheming, but I think it's nothing more than that. We have all escaped so far, and he hasn't sent anyone to chase us yet!"
The marching internal historian next to him laughed and said: "After the prince escapes, don't go to the royal city. Go directly to Duke Turing Tuo's army. Tell Duke Turing Tuo everything that happened here in detail, and then assist him to destroy Suo Clan. Then there will still be soldiers."
A piece of your credit.”
Prince Youyou's eyes lit up and he said: "Okay, then I will definitely peel off Sauron's skin and cramps, crush his bones and spread ashes!"
At this moment, the expression of the top master of the Black Bing Mansion suddenly changed and he said: "There is someone!"
The words just fell!
"Boom boom boom boom..."
There were bursts of earth-shattering explosions.
"Protect the Duke, protect the Crown Prince..."
Dozens of warriors used their bodies to wrap up Duke Zhiwei and Prince Zhiyou alive.
In the narrow valley here, there are explosions and rocks flying everywhere.
In order to protect Zhiwei's safety and prevent him from being killed by Gao Yin with the Dragon King Staff, Zhili sent dozens of dragon warriors and above to protect him.
At this time, in this shocking explosion.
Experts such as dragon warriors and above will inevitably have their bodies broken into pieces, their hands broken, and their legs mutilated.
If they are in other wide areas, these masters can dodge as quickly as possible.
However, the terrain here is extremely dangerous and narrow, and there is absolutely nowhere to escape. There are tall cliffs blocking both sides.
"Boom boom boom..."
Earth-shattering explosions occurred one after another.
Huge boulders flew and the cliffs on both sides collapsed one after another.
These warriors want to protect Zhiyou and Zhiwei, and they cannot escape at all.
In the blink of an eye, it was buried by countless collapsed boulders.
After a moment, Sauron, Yan Yan, Zhuang Zhixuan, and dozens of Shadow Pavilion masters appeared.
Looking at the canyon cliffs that had been blown to pieces, Zhi Wei, Zhi Li, and many warriors had been buried by countless boulders.
They ran away quickly, but they still couldn't escape Sauron's grasp.
He had already laid a dragnet here and buried an astronomical amount of gunpowder.
Why did he know that Ji You and Ji Wei would definitely take this route to escape?
It's very simple. There is Yan Yan's army on the other side of the river.
The mountains to the north are blocked by the Nu River and have nowhere to go.
The mountains in the south lead directly to the southern border, where they can join Turing Tuo's army. Therefore, in this hurry, Xiyou and others must have escaped from this direction, and there is only an extremely dangerous and narrow mountain road here.
It's a must-go place.
Of course, just in case, he also planted explosives on the mountain road to the north to ambush the masters of the Shadow Pavilion.
However, the focus was still on the mountains to the south. Sure enough, Jiyou and the others took the initiative to step into Sauron's trap and came to their doorstep.
I saw the buried Zhiwei, Zhiyou, and more than a hundred warriors.
Sauron first took out a poisonous smoke potion and poured it into the gap between the buried stones.
This is a highly toxic anesthetic. After smelling it, you will be confused and your whole body will be sore.
Now the people inside are buried in a small space, weighed down by tens of thousands of kilograms of boulders and hundreds of thousands of troops. They cannot stand up, and they have to inhale the anesthetic poison no matter what.
After losing their combat effectiveness, these people could only be captured and allowed to be slaughtered by Sauron.
…
I don't know how much time has passed.
Duke Zhiwei woke up faintly, his whole body was numb, in severe pain, and cold.
Opening his eyes with difficulty, the first thing he saw was... Sauron!
He thought he was dreaming, so he shook his head desperately and opened his eyes again.
I can see clearly this time, it’s still Sauron!
The most terrible thing happened, he was captured.
The dignified governor of the Southeast Province, Duke Zhiwei, the right-hand man of His Highness Zili, was captured by Sauron!
