The red leather armor of the Great Wall Legion was in sharp contrast with the black armor of Xiliang City. A thick layer of corpses was piled up by the cannon fodder soldiers in front, and blood dripped from the spears in the hands of the Xiliang soldiers.
The war drums behind Li Xiang were beating, and the swordsmen behind rushed to the position of the Chinese army. From the high platform, you could see that all the coalition soldiers in the distance were pressing forward, including the bright red army and the elite Qing army troops in armor.
The elites of the Qing Army are all wearing iron armor. As the most elite 10,000 people in Song Cheng, their equipment is the best in the entire Qing Army. Their iron armor, long knives and other weapons are also the best weapons in the entire Qing Army.
The daily food of these people is much better than that of ordinary soldiers. Other troops can only eat meat every four days, but these soldiers can eat meat every other day.
The Qing Army does not have the huge logistics of Xiliang City. It is a good thing that they can eat fish and some wild animal meat for every meal, three meals a day.
The treatment of the Qing Army is also rare among Daqian.
The key factor that determines the combat effectiveness of an army is food. If you eat well, your training will naturally be much better. If one side is fat and strong, and the other side is skinny, you can tell which side will win without even looking.
The Great Wall Legion's army is equipped with leather armor. The defensive power of these leather armors is no better than the iron armor in the hands of the elites of the Qing Army, and is even higher.
The leather armor made of ferocious beast fur is difficult to pierce with ordinary weapons!
The fact that these two troops were sent up also means that this battle has reached the final moment, that is, the decisive battle.
The soldiers of the Seventh Army Corps were still fighting with the Qing Army on the right. More than two thousand cavalry were watching the right side of the formation. Nearly two thousand broken troops gathered on the right side of Xiliang's formation.
In front of them was a spear and a shield placed on the ground. This was a hedgehog. The soldiers from Xiliang headquarters were already more powerful than these people. The Xiliang soldiers did not open the formation. The fear in their hearts was overwhelmed by the Xiliang people in front of them. The soldiers exuded a sense of killing and calm, and their sanity suddenly returned.
"Pick up your weapons!" Commander Xiliang shouted loudly to these desperate soldiers of the Seventh Legion: "You are soldiers of the Seventh Legion of Xiliang. As soldiers of Xiliang City, we in Xiliang City can only die on the battlefield. There are no soldiers running away!
These cavalry are not scary, as long as you dare to face them, you can still kill them with the weapons in my hand!"
The captain's voice made these soldiers who had calmed down look at the Great Wall Cavalry.
"Everyone, listen to my order and form an array!" the centurion, his head wrapped in a white gauze, shouted loudly.
The gauze obtained from the Dark World had been put into the Xiliang army before the battle began. The Seventh Army also obtained some, and more were soldiers from the Xiliang headquarters.
One person stood up, and the other soldiers looked at each other, moved the seriously injured soldiers to the back, and formed a somewhat crude spear formation again. These soldiers had been defeated before because they had no backbone.
Now that their backbone is back, and with Xiliang headquarters soldiers supporting them behind them, what else do they have to fear!
Under Pang Sheng's incredible eyes, these defeated soldiers reorganized and formed a battle formation in front of the Xiliang army.
The 3,000 cavalrymen who defeated the Seventh Army did not go without paying a price. At this time, there were still more than 2,300 people left among the 3,000 men, and more than 600 people remained on the battlefield forever.
These soldiers are also treasures for the Great Wall Legion. The main force went to the far north, and most of the remaining elite soldiers were sent to the grassland to fight on the grassland.
At this time, the remaining cavalry of the Great Wall Legion was only about 8,000. After sending 3,000, there were only 5,000 left at the fortress.
If these three thousand people suffer heavy losses, the Great Wall Legion will lose money on this transaction!
When Pang Sheng saw the eyes of those soldiers, he knew that the fighting spirit of these soldiers was back and they could not charge back this time. The soldiers from Xiliang headquarters were much stronger than these soldiers, which could be seen from the soldiers' physiques.
Each of the Xiliang soldiers was a big man eight feet tall. These big men could overwhelm ordinary soldiers just by their physical strength.
Look at the frontal battlefield. If there is a passage on the frontal battlefield, they can follow it.
Song Cheng originally thought that Xiliang would mobilize some troops on the side because of Pang Sheng, and sent two of his troops to defend.
drive!
The Xiliang light cavalry circled behind the Qing army. The elite soldiers behind heard the rumble of horse hooves, and then a burst of arrows fell.
Come together.
The scattered light cavalry saw the opportunity and rushed over with hard bows. The bows in their hands were different from the bows and arrows used by the Xiliang archers. Their bows were much shorter than the archers' bows, which was for easier carrying.
At the same time, the hardness of the bow is also much harder. The attack range of these archers is not very far, but the lethality at close range is very strong. What the light cavalry likes most is to rush to the enemy about twenty steps away and shoot a long arrow.
The arrows of the light cavalry are also different from the arrows of ordinary archers. The bows and arrows of the light cavalry need to have a certain ability to break armor. This is to facilitate the light cavalry to hunt the enemy.
As the fastest unit among the cavalry, the light cavalry not only plays important responsibilities on the battlefield, but also does the best in urgent tasks such as delivering messages and messages.
The light cavalry has been coveting these elite troops for a long time, just waiting for a good opportunity, but when the other party stood still, the light cavalry did not dare to move, because the opponent's number far exceeded them.
They are not creatures like heavy cavalry. Heavy cavalry can run rampant in the enemy army. If they rush in, they will probably be hacked to death by random swords. They do not have thick armor.
Still harass the enemy's army and rush in to bite them when you get the chance.
They are light cavalry, an opportunistic unit!
The light cavalry suddenly took action, and the Qing Army soldiers were stunned for a moment. The light cavalry was very fast, and there was a team of one hundred people. The armor on the elite soldiers of the Qing Army seemed to be useless at this time, and was beaten by the light cavalry.
Easily shot.
They want to catch up with these light cavalry, but they can only see the opponent's back. These light cavalry are very fast. They turn around and run after the long arrows are hit. They will never be willing to fight. They are light cavalry, and speed is theirs.
Advantage!
The elite of the Green Army were attacked by light cavalry before they were dispatched. The speed of the army slowed down, and the light cavalry took away six to seven hundred of them in one attack. If they came several more times, they would not be wiped out by these light cavalry.
When Songcheng heard that the Xiliang cavalry was dispatched, he felt something was wrong. How could the Xiliang cavalry be light cavalry? From the appearance of the Xiliang cavalry before, the Xiliang cavalry should be heavy cavalry. From what can be seen from the information, Xiliang cavalry
Cavalry is like light cavalry.
"General, those people are following the army far away. We can't catch up. The opponent can keep shooting and take advantage of the horses to prevent our army from dispatching!"
Song Cheng frowned even deeper: "How many are there?"
"About three thousand!"
The Qing Army did not know the number and types of Xiliang's army. The Great Wall Army only had 300,000 horses and only had 50,000 cavalry.
It is difficult to raise cavalry. They consume five times as much food as a person every day. During war, war horses consume much more food.
Song Cheng did not think that Xiliang City could raise more cavalry. There was no place outside the Northwest Pass where food could be grown, and there was no pasture where war horses could be raised.
Three thousand war horses are already incredible. It is impossible to have more war horses. Thinking about it, Song Cheng said: "How about General Pang Sheng?"
The soldier on the side said: "Back to the general, General Pang Sheng and his party did not reach the Xiliang formation. The defeated Xiliang Seventh Army was reorganized. General Pang Sheng is retreating, waiting for the opportunity!"
Song Cheng said: "Order General Pang Sheng to return with the cavalry and block the light cavalry!
The Xiliang cavalry has been dispatched, so let’s give it a try!”
"Order the entire army to attack!"
"yes!"
The guards on the left and right immediately gave Song Cheng's order, and Song Cheng rode his horse forward to charge for money. At this time, the ground in front was filled with fighting, and tens of thousands of people were fighting in resistance.
The Qing Army's attack was like a flood, mighty and powerful, one wave after another, attacking the Xiliang formation.
The Xiliang Formation is like a scorched stone in the sea, standing erect. No matter how big the waves are, the Xiliang soldiers will not move.
"The decisive battle has begun!" Li Xiang came down from the high platform. The Qing army had all pressed forward. The spearmen on the front line suffered heavy losses, and the swordsmen pressed forward.
The long swordsmen of Xiliang, each with a long sword about 1.5 meters tall, and dressed in iron armor, are like the gods of death to the soldiers of the Qing Army.
The long sword flashed, and a Qing Army soldier fell down.
The archers and crossbowmen all picked up their long swords, their arrow feathers were already shining, and the Xiliang army was almost at its end!
Li Xiang picked up the square halberd and all the Xiliang cavalry mounted their horses.
Boom, boom, boom!
The sound of war drums from behind slowly sounded, and as it became more and more intense, Song Cheng heard the fierce drumming in the distance. There were war drums over there in Daqian, but it had been a long time since he heard such fierce drumming.
The Xiliang soldiers who had been waiting behind for a long time heard the sound of war drums, their eyes lit up, they drew their swords and moved forward.
The soldiers who were not fighting on one side ran forward, advancing towards the front battlefield from the left side. They made way for Li Xiang and the Xiliang cavalry to make way.
"kill!"
The sound of war drums sounded, and the eyes of the Xiliang soldiers turned red. At this time, Pang Sheng led the cavalry to retreat behind, and the Xiliang soldiers began to take the initiative to attack.
The long swordsmen rushed to the front. As the most powerful unit in the Xiliang army at present in infantry combat, every long swordsman was beaten to the realm of non-influence, and some powerful soldiers were in the realm of inflow.
Their true energy and strong physique allowed them to face the Qing army without any pressure. The cannon fodder troops collapsed after the Xiliang army blew the counterattack horn.
Even if there were people from the Great Wall Legion pressing behind them, they had no fighting spirit and were chased by Xiliang soldiers.
The moment the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion met the Xiliang soldiers, the Great Wall Legion soldiers finally saw the physique of the Xiliang soldiers. Each Xiliang soldier was more than a head taller than them. The strong muscles, weapons, and armor made the Great Wall
The legionnaires looked solemn.
People with weak bodies are not necessarily weak, but people with strong bodies are definitely not weak!
The two sides collided, the sword and the spear collided. The swordsman knew that he could not fight the enemy at a medium distance, so he leaned directly next to the soldiers of the Great Wall Legion. Their swords were long to others, but not to the Xiliang soldiers.
Generally speaking, these long swords are not very long, and they don't only have long swords in their hands.
The long swordsman plunges into the enemy, takes out his shield with the other hand, uses the long sword and the shield together, uses the shield to hold the enemy back, and stabs with the long sword to carve out a path of blood from the enemy.
The number of Xiliang soldiers was smaller than that of the coalition soldiers, but the Xiliang soldiers had the upper hand and fought their way forward.
Some soldiers with straps behind them picked up their weapons and followed the archers and crossbowmen to rush forward. Their injuries were not serious and they could still continue fighting.
The centurion and the centurion did not disperse the army during the chaotic battle. It seemed like they were fighting randomly. However, the distance between the soldiers in each team of Xiliang soldiers was not very large. Sometimes they took advantage of the number of people to fight a number of soldiers.
The difference is to bully the few with more.
The various ministries will also cooperate with each other to divide the enemy, just like using a knife to cut out the coalition troops and eat them bit by bit.
There are many coalition soldiers, but not many are fighting on the front lines!
The frontline soldiers no longer need the command of Prime Minister Li. Qingsong Lao Dao follows Prime Minister Li. In the eyes of others, the battlefield is the blood volume.
The Xiliang army no longer needs the command of Prime Minister Li. The commanders and centurions on the front line all know how to fight.
Old Taoist Qingsong rode a war horse next to Prime Minister Li, looking solemnly at the sky. As the battle began, the world was filled with the aura of killing. This aura of killing had no effect on martial arts people, but it had no effect on them.
For these religious people, such a place is very uncomfortable.
These evil spirits are corroding them all the time, but when they follow the Xiliang soldiers, these evil spirits are absorbed by the Xiliang soldiers and Li Xiang next to them. Each Xiliang soldier is absorbing the killing energy.
Even if a martial artist absorbs the aura of killing, he or she will still be very uncomfortable with it, and may become possessed while practicing.
But for the Xiliang soldiers, the killing energy they absorbed did not exist in them, but was absorbed by the huge greedy wolf beast in the sky.
That is the military spirit of the Xiliang army!
With the greedy wolf, the mythical beast in the sky, as long as the spirit of the army is immortal, they, the Taoist cultivators, cannot harm the Xiliang army. They are invulnerable to all laws and have no taboos.
This is also why the monastic world cannot resist the Daqian Dynasty. The martial arts people can at most use evil energy to protect themselves and fight the monks. The dynasty army directly uses evil energy to gather a divine beast.
Xiang Laodao followed Li Xiang, and the army moved out from the left. The Qing army had already mixed with the Xiliang army. What Li Xiang wanted to do was to cross over and cut off the enemy's front and rear troops.
Qingsong pulled out his long sword, and he would inevitably fight in this battle.
"drive!"
Xing Liao rushed to the front, followed closely by 3,000 people.
On the other side, the battle between Xiliang light cavalry and Pang Sheng began. Pang Sheng and his men chased behind, while the light cavalry ran in front.
If the Great Wall Legion cavalry can be contained, it will be of great help to the main battlefield!
