Chapter 235 Desperate Counterattack!(1/2)
"kill!"
Five thousand neat women's troops cut into the left wing commanded by Song Jiang, and they were overwhelming!
The sixth-level women's army is only equipped with ordinary weapons, but their morale continues to be high, and they are no less powerful than an army of macho men in combat!
Li Xiuning personally commanded the Detachment of Women, defeated the blocking enemy troops, and took the lead to join Zang Ba and Sun Guan!
Zang Ba and Sun Guan, each with a few arrows stuck in their armor, crawled out from the dead and fought bloody battles. They had a total of 8,000 infantrymen, and in the end only more than 4,000 were left alive!
Previously, they were trapped in a siege by the left-wing infantry commanded by You Leyi and narrowly escaped death.
When the helpless Le Yi handed over his left wing to Song Jiang, Zang Ba and Sun Guan managed to survive until now.
The pressure brought by the army blessed by Le Yi is not comparable to that of ordinary generals, and the pressure brought by Song Jiang is much smaller.
Sun Guan was killing several Xuzhou soldiers, but due to exhaustion, he tripped over the corpses at his feet and fell to the ground.
The Xuzhou soldier raised his sword and was about to kill the enemy general who had been fighting bloody battles. An ordinary female soldier stabbed the Xuzhou soldier to death with a spear and stretched out his hand to pull Sun Guan up.
After this lady-like soldier rescued Sun Guan, she followed the large army to kill the enemy.
"I was actually saved by a group of girls today!"
Sun Guan has never seen such a fierce group of women, they fight as if they are risking their lives.
Perhaps only soldiers of level six and above are as brave as them.
"We cannot be underestimated!"
Sun Guan's remnant soldiers were inspired by the Detachment of Women, their morale was boosted, and they followed the Detachment of Women and launched a counterattack.
Zang Ba, who was trapped in heavy siege, was also rescued and led the remaining troops to join the Detachment of Women, strengthening the force to attack the left wing of the Xuzhou coalition!
Hua Xiong's broadsword struck the Xuzhou heavy infantry's iron armor with such force that it almost took off the opponent's arm!
When Hua Xiong attacked, a Xuzhou infantryman held a heavy halberd and struck Hua Xiong like an iron barrel!
The huge impact made Hua Xiong's internal organs tremble. Hua Xiong was furious and slashed the Xuzhou infantryman to death with a backhand knife!
Hua Xiong was seriously injured, and the Xiliang cavalry suffered heavy losses. They were dismounted and used as heavy infantry.
Even the heavy cavalry had to be used as heavy infantry, which shows how brutal the battle was.
He witnessed something that surprised him extremely. A group of women's soldiers actually brought Zang Ba and Sun Guan to defeat the left wing and joined him, Hua Xiong!
"I thought they were just recruited by the master for his own pleasure..."
After Hua Xiong pledged his allegiance to Chu Tian, he learned that there was a group of women's soldiers in Xia City.
But Hua Xiong thought it was Chu Tian's hobby, so he didn't take it seriously.
When the Detachment of Women appeared on the battlefield, Hua Xiong realized the terror of the Detachment of Women.
The statistics of the Detachment of Women are lower than those of male soldiers of the same rank, but their morale can be maintained for a long time. After arriving on the battlefield from Xiacheng, they still maintained high morale, which is evident!
The Langya army was victorious on the left wing, and the Xuzhou coalition forces gradually retreated.
Facing the collapse of the left wing, Song Jiang was extremely anxious.
Why is he in which phalanx, and which phalanx is the enemy's breakthrough point?
"Everyone, wait, don't retreat, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!"
Song Jiang tried his best to maintain the formation to prevent the army from being penetrated by the Detachment of Women.
Zhou Yafu and Li Guang's troops also began to counterattack, but they faced the Chinese army with Le Yi's bonus, and it was not easy to break through.
"It's not enough, I need an army!"
Chu Tian discovered that after the Detachment of Women joined the army, many of his troops had regained their morale and had a tendency to make a comeback. However, their casualties were still heavy and their troops were insufficient, so they might not be able to win!
"General Xu Sheng's navy battalion is here to help!"
A group of 3,000 naval soldiers participated in the battle under the leadership of Xu Sheng!
Xu Sheng saw that the situation of the main force was not good, so he detoured to Liangshan Town. After landing in Liangshan Town, he marched all the way and rushed to the battlefield on foot!
"Order General Xu Sheng to attack the left wing!"
Chutian continued to add troops to the left wing, accelerating the collapse of Song Jiang's army.
Marine battalion soldiers can still exert a certain degree of strength on land!
At this time, another three thousand troops came from Xia City. They were all low-level infantry and archers who had just been recruited!
"This is Miss Xia's follow-up force, and it is also one of the few defenders in Xia City! There are only two thousand recruits and a group of local warriors left in Xia City!"
"Everyone's attention is focused on this battle, and they won't notice that Xia City's military strength is almost empty."
Chu Tian didn't care that Xia City was empty. He lost the battle and couldn't defend Xia City even if he returned!
He personally led 3,000 new soldiers and used the characteristics of the "Great Master" to drive 3,000 people into a frenzy!
The effect of the Great Sage Master is more useful for new recruits, allowing them to temporarily forget their fear and follow Chu Tian to attack!
The three troops that arrived one after another were not large in number, adding up to just over 10,000, which could not reverse the gap in troop strength. But these three troops were crucial and were just enough to break the situation!
All the reinforcements stormed the left wing and destroyed the 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers commanded by Song Jiang!
Song Jiang found that he could no longer support himself. He was surrounded by fleeing soldiers. His ability made it difficult for him to control the situation!
If Le Yi personally commanded the left wing, the left wing would still be as stable as Mount Tai, but it would not be possible if it were him!
In the end, Song Jiang, who despaired that the situation was out of control, followed the defeated troops and fled backwards, completely giving up command.
The collapse of the left wing had fatal consequences. The Detachment of Women, led by Li Xiuning, who broke through the left wing, turned to attack the Chinese army!
Zhou Yafu and Li Guang, with the cooperation of Li Xiuning, finally shook Le Yi's Chinese army!
The 80,000 infantrymen of the Chinese army were attacked from a pincer, and their morale dropped rapidly. When morale hit the bottom, they began to collapse like the left wing!
Defeat is like a mountain falling!
The sudden change made the Xuzhou lords feel like they were in a dream. Victory was clearly within their reach, but they didn't expect that as the opponent's reinforcements arrived one after another, the opponent started to overturn the situation!
"Their reinforcements are coming, but where are our reinforcements?!"
"We didn't ask for reinforcements at all! Who knew that 200,000 people wouldn't be enough!"
"There are still 30,000 defenders in Tancheng, please ask them to come for reinforcements immediately!"
"It's too late, the Chinese army has already begun to collapse!"
After the Xuzhou lords watched the left wing collapse, the central army also collapsed. Only the right wing, with only Le Yi present personally, was still suppressing Lu Zhi, Zhao Yun and Hua Mulan with its superior strength.
"Two fists are no match for four hands..."
All the lords of Xuzhou had this thought in their hearts.
There were too many famous generals in the Langya Kingdom. Yang Ye was held back by Xue Rengui with a small number of cavalry, and Song Jiang could not be reused. Only Le Yi could not save him at all.
Li Xiuning set the pace for the counterattack, coupled with Zhou Yafu's insistence on hoarding strength and cooperating with the counterattack, and Xu Sheng and Chu Tian personally leading small groups of troops, the Langya Kingdom army has begun a full-scale counterattack!
Su Xin, the lord of Guangling County, suggested: "Maybe we should retreat."
"Retreat? Where to retreat? After Chu Zimou wins, he will definitely pursue the victory. We will not be able to defend Xuzhou at all!"
"One army is stationed in Tancheng, and another army is stationed in Xiapi. They are the horns of each other. They can delay Chu Zimou for at least a few months. As long as he is delayed, something might happen. Just imagine, even if he wins,
It was also a disastrous victory, and there was no spare force to attack the fortified city."
"rational……"
When Le Yi was still commanding the right wing, the Xuzhou lords were worried about being captured and had already thought of giving up the battle.
The left wing and the center army collapsed, leaving the right wing completely unable to recover.
The lords of Xuzhou paid gold and retreated their troops, but Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian saw that the situation was not good and fled under the protection of his own soldiers.
"How could this be so..."
Yang Ye was fighting fiercely with Xue Rengui. He had killed or wounded three or four thousand cavalry, and there were eight thousand left. The situation on Xue Rengui's side was even worse, with only two thousand cavalry left.
He had the opportunity to defeat Xue Rengui using the human wave tactic, and then attack Zhou Yafu and Li Guang's rear, but the reinforcements from the Langya Kingdom were one step ahead of him!
His lord has sent an order for him to retreat.
"You are a difficult opponent, let's fight again in the future!"
Yang Ye knew that there was no chance of defeating Xue Rengui, so he had to follow the lord's order and lead his cavalry to retreat.
"It's not that easy to let you go!"
Xue Rengui wanted to pursue, but his whole body was sore. He fought from noon to afternoon, and his physical strength was exhausted. He killed hundreds of enemy cavalry and had no ability to fight anymore.
Yang Ye's cavalry retreated, and the Xuzhou Allied Forces, which lacked cavalry cover, collapsed on a larger scale.
Le Yi could not stand alone, so he had no choice but to fight and retreat.
"We finally defended Langya Kingdom..."
When Hua Mulan saw Le Yi retreating, she finally seemed to be relieved of her burden.
Just a little bit away, the Langya Kingdom's army will be completely defeated, and the Langya Kingdom will be destroyed.
To be continued...
