Six hundred and fortieth chapters extinct bliss II
Chapter 642: Destruction of Bliss (2)
Except for Sheng Mabi, the deputy commander of the Wan Chengdong Army, many of the generals of the Holy Sect have experienced many battles with Hetao. They all know how powerful Hetao's combat effectiveness is, especially the cavalry.
When attacking, as long as the opponent opens even a small gap, it will be like a thousand-mile embankment, easily collapsing one's own defense line. Once the defense line collapses, the opponent's cavalry will definitely drive straight in, and then divide one's own side.
The infantry was just like sweeping the ground, easily leveling itself. Therefore, it was very important to block the first wave of offensive in the Loop.
Yan Wuyan's face was solemn. He knew that his army could not stop Hetao's cavalry raid after recharging its strength, but no matter what, he must not let his defeated troops attack Pinglang's defense line, otherwise Hetao would follow up.
, the defense line of the Hirang Army was broken by itself. What a headache! Hui Wuyan said with a bitter smile.
Ping Lang also frowned. When he passed by Zhu Zhao, he suddenly heard a subtle warning: "Be ready to break out at any time. Don't sink too deep. I will help you!"
Heirang suddenly looked up, but only saw Zhu Zhao's extremely lonely back. Heirang suddenly felt the urge to cry.
The Loop hates our side so much that since it has been planning to launch an attack for a long time, it will definitely not be so easy to just drive our side away from here. Reminiscent of our own experience of many battles with the Loop, it is obvious that once the Loop's offensive is launched
It must be continuous. Zhu Zhao knew very well the strength of his side and knew that he could not resist for long, so when he issued the order, he had already anticipated the outcome of the battlefield.
The Pinglang Legion is the most combat-effective legion of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and it will inevitably become the object of concern in the Hetao. And once it is bitten by the Hetao, it may not be spared before the powerful infantry and cavalry in the Hetao combine to kill them. Therefore, Zhu
Zhao deliberately told himself to be careful.
Since the founding of the Holy Sect of Paradise, the four people who were originally as close as brothers have become estranged. Later, Yan Lege surrendered to Lhetao and Minghui disappeared on the battlefield. However, the relationship between the two remaining brothers faded because of their different paths. But today, Ping Lang suddenly
Understand, it turns out that in Zhu Zhao's heart, the three of him are always his brothers, and he is always the eldest brother of the three of them. Maybe this eldest brother has many flaws in his character and path, but he is indeed his
Brother, his concern for himself and others is indeed very sincere. Yan Lege is gone and Minghui is missing. He feels no better than me.
Looking at Zhu Zhao's seemingly thinner figure, Hirang didn't say anything in the end. His footsteps were a little solemn. No one noticed that among the Holy Sect of Paradise, the most introverted commander, his shoulders were actually
Slight twitching.
"Wan Chengdong!" Zhu Zhao had already heard the clues from Pinglang's footsteps that suddenly became heavier, but his face was still quite serious: "You lead your army of 60,000 soldiers and firmly guard the east side.
Get ready to move east!"
Cheng Xianqing was shocked: "Zhu Zhao, why don't you move closer to the Huai River? The Zhang family soldiers on the other side can provide us with considerable help, and being close to the Huai River, we can better use our infantry advantage to reduce the impact of the Hetao cavalry to
pole."
Tian Chun also said anxiously: "Shuai Zhu, break out toward the east. Aren't they lonely hills there? Why don't you retreat slowly to the south?"
Zhu Zhao glanced at Tian Chun with disdain. This man had some talent, but he was arrogant. He thought that his mind was unparalleled. He usually held his head high when he saw him. In other aspects, he might not be as good as him, but
Militarily, I will never be worse than anyone else.
With a cold snort, Zhu Zhao said: "The Hetao cavalry has the advantage. We retreat south. The opponent's cavalry can easily follow up, easily bite our army and even complete the outflank. Don't forget, the Hetao cavalry is not only good at traveling thousands of miles
Running attacks, frontal breakthroughs, and pursuit battles are also their specialty. As for retreating to the Huaihe River, if the Zhang family's elite navy is still there, it would be a good choice. However, the Zhang family's current navy is entirely from merchant ships and civilian ships, and
Our soldiers do not have the mentality of a last-ditch fight. The opponent only needs to lead the battle with cavalry and follow up with infantry, and they can completely squeeze us into the Huai River!"
After a pause, Zhu Zhao pointed to the east and said: "To the east! To the east is the only way to survive! But we must be fast, otherwise it will be too late!"
The speed of the Hetao cavalry was extremely fast, but the speed of the Holy Sect was not slow either. The Xingke cavalry had just broken through the first line of defense of the Wuyan Army, and the Pinglang Army had fully entered combat mode. Although the east side of the Huai River was not in danger
It can be seen that Hirairo is worthy of being one of the four famous generals of the Holy Sect of Paradise. The army has always maintained a certain distance from the Wuyan Legion in front, exiting its camp in an orderly manner, using the dense horse-repelling stakes in the camp.
and trenches, etc., to reduce the impact of the Hetao cavalry. Then mobilize all the crossbowmen in the army to fully support the Wuyan Army in front.
"The infantry will follow quickly!" Luo Xiang sat astride his horse, looked at the situation in front of him, and said to the mystery around him.
Xuanji shook the feather fan out of habit, but after all, he was on a horse and felt very uncomfortable. Moreover, Xuanji himself was not good at riding a horse. He made a big movement with his hands and his body suddenly shook. He was so frightened that Xuanji quickly inserted the feather fan into his body.
On his back, he held the reins tightly with both hands and said: "What you said is exactly what you said. Come here, send the order to Zhulu Legion to bypass the battlefield and intercept the way of the Holy Sect's retreat to the east! The Destruction Legion advanced in a horizontal direction, followed by Qinglong and Longxiang.
Behind a cavalry regiment, defeat the opponent in one fell swoop!"
Luo Xiang looked at Xuanji's somewhat embarrassed look and smiled inwardly. Xuanji was impeccable in terms of character and talent, but he had one biggest flaw, which was that Aimee liked to be elegant. As a military adviser in Hetao
, it is necessary to develop excellent horseback riding skills. However, Xuanji is always worried that his legs will turn into ugly bow-legs after staying on a horse for a long time, so he has never been interested in horseback riding. And regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, Xuanji
They all hugged his feather fan and his big feather fan and turban, and while talking and laughing, the oars and oars were turned into ashes. But in this way, Xuanji was particularly painful every time he rode a horse.
In fact, the mystery is too much to worry about. The reason why most of the nomadic cavalry are bow-legged is mainly because they spend most of the day on horseback and are raised since childhood, so they have legged legs during development.
A solid foundation for bow legs. However, the Hetao cavalry is different. Except for staying on horseback for a long time during the initial recruit training, they don't spend much time in the rest of the time. Therefore, there is no need to worry about this at all.
Luo Xiang didn't say anything, he just pinched his beard with a smile and said: "But if this happens, I'm afraid Qin Chuan and some people in the Zhulu Army will worry about us killing people with a borrowed knife!"
Xuanji chuckled and said: "It doesn't count. Letting them fight against the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss can be regarded as satisfying their wishes. Haven't they always thought about having a showdown with the Holy Sect of Ultimate Bliss on the battlefield? Now the opportunity has come
, if they don’t know how to catch it themselves, then it’s no wonder we are.”
Hetao has no intention of killing people with a borrowed sword, but it definitely has the idea of preserving its strength. The soldiers in Hetao are quite elite, and everyone knows this. It just so happens that the Li family of Qinchuan, the Eastern Legion and the Holy Sect of Paradise are sworn enemies.
, letting them serve as the vanguard can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.
Responsible for the frontal attack on the defense line of the Holy Bliss Sect's Silent Legion is the Xingeng Qinglong Legion and Wuxiaolangjun's Longxiang Legion. The Fengjing Falcon Legion and Fengwu Legion bypassed the battlefield to block the Paradise Holy Sect.
Teach the eastward path, and then drive the Holy Sect of Paradise to the Huaihe River as much as possible. Zhu Zhao is worthy of being the first of the four famous generals of Paradise, and he has a relatively accurate judgment on the intentions of Hetao.
In the central camp of the Bliss Army, Zhu Zhao was keenly aware of the focus of Hetao's attack. Although the army there was already defeated, there was still a Pinglang legion behind him. Pinglang was the best among the Bliss Holy Cult.
As a defensive general, the 100,000 soldiers under his command are also the most effective soldiers of the Holy Sect. No matter how brave Xin Ke is, he will not be able to break through Ping Lang's defense line in a short time. Therefore, although the northern defense line is the first to bear the brunt of the attack in Hetao
Yes, but at least it won't be a problem for the time being.
But it's different on the east side.
Stationed here are Wan Chengdong's 60,000 soldiers. Among the Paradise Holy Cult, Wan Chengdong's army can be considered a relatively capable army. However, when Wan Chengdong just arranged the battle formation, the Hetao 100,000 cavalry plus the following
The 50,000 infantrymen who followed them rushed forward with great force. One of the first men was wearing a mourning cloth and holding a pear flower spear. Every time a spear flower was pierced, a Ji Le soldier was killed by the spear.
"This guy Feng Jing is actually so brave?" Zhu Zhao was a little wary. He and Feng Jing had fought before. At that time, although Feng Jing was like a god with troops, his personal force was not outstanding. Unexpectedly, a few years later,
Feng Jing's strength has actually risen to such a level, I'm afraid only Bing Heng himself from the Holy Sect can subdue him.
What Zhu Zhao didn't know was that on that day, Master Yingwu, on the orders of Master Guitian, specially presented to Fengjing several secret books on the highest level of martial arts. One of them was about Iron Cavalry Hengliu, one of the top ten magical skills in China. I think Jiao Zhongxin relied on his
Even a broken copy can rank among the top ten masters in China. Due to his talent and intelligence, his progress will naturally be rapid. Now, he should be at least a master at the same level as Li Xiaomo.
"Zhu Zhao, what do you think we should do now?" Cheng Xianqing asked with a dark face.
Tian Chun muttered from behind: "Let's just retreat to the south. It's fine now. There are at least 100,000 enemy troops in the east. Why should we rush through the opponent's defense line?"
"Shut up!" Zhu Zhao glared at him fiercely and shouted angrily: "Hetao has always used troops without any omissions. The opponent has such a strength advantage and has a thoughtful counselor like Luo Xiang Xuanji. There is no way for us to leave any room for him.
There must be no loopholes! If there is no movement in the south, there must be something wrong!"
Tian Chun's face turned red, but just as he raised his neck, he found that Zhu Zhao's face was livid and his eyes were red, and he quickly closed his mouth. Zhu Zhao had always been gloomy, and he rarely showed his emotions. It was obvious that he was now attracted by the battlefield.
The situation was so exciting that his eyes turned red. If he didn't know better now, who knows if this reckless man would kill him directly!
But Bing Heng said from the side: "However, our scouts reported that there is no ambush in the south of the Hetao. Moreover, Jinzhou and Ruizhou are our hinterland. Unless you can escape from the Hetao, it is absolutely impossible!"
Zhu Zhao didn't say anything, Feitian? He might not be able to do this with this Loop, but he was quite skillful in using it to conceal the truth. On that day, the Yinfeng Castle in Qinchuan and the Li family's natural moat was easily captured by the Loop using such a trick. Besides, wasn't it?
, this is not a city, there is no need to escape from the river.
"In the military, nothing is impossible!" Zhu Zhao said categorically. Bing Heng is actually quite good at troop formation and strategic planning, but he is not very good at this specific tactical operation.
He is good at it, and Zhu Zhao has been on the battlefield for a long time and has received formal military education in the Qingfeng Army. Naturally, he does not dare to take it lightly!
Cheng Xianqing was hesitant. The civil and military generals under his command all had their own opinions. He himself did not know much about military affairs. After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xianqing asked: "Zhu Zhao, where do you think the main attack direction of Hetao is?"
"East!" Zhu Zhao said decisively: "The north is the direction from which the Hetao army will attack. If they set this as the main direction of attack, they will inevitably concentrate their cavalry advantage first and implement a central breakthrough. However, Hetao deliberately made a circle like this
, is obviously planning to catch us all. Your Majesty, if we don’t make a decision, I’m afraid we won’t be able to leave.”
"In that case, Zhu Zhao, lead your own army and the 60,000 soldiers of Wan Chengdong's army to break out of the encirclement eastward with all your strength! Order Pinglang Duan to block the attack in front of Hetao!"
Zhu Zhao was shocked and said quickly: "Your Majesty, there must be some troops on the south side of the Hetao. If all 50,000 of my soldiers are involved in the breakout, and the ambush attacks on the south of the Hetao, we will definitely be caught off guard! In my opinion, your Majesty,
You can order the warriors who protect the country and General Wan Chengdong to break out of the encirclement together, and I will stay behind in the south!"
Cheng Xianqing hesitated for a while. The Warriors for Protecting the Country are the most elite army of the Holy Sect of Paradise. Every soldier in them is a veteran who has followed him since the Yangzhou army was launched. They are second to none in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will.
The most important thing is that the Paradise Holy Cult lacks horses. The only war horses they have are used as scouts for the army, and the five thousand warriors who protect the country are all cavalry. And now even Zhu Zhao only has
His five hundred personal soldiers were cavalry.
"No need to say more about this matter! Zhu Zhao, you lead the army into action immediately!" Cheng Xianqing finally shook his head and said. The warriors who protect the country are his last capital, and he cannot waste it here unnecessarily.
When Zhu Zhao saw this, he had no choice but to nod in agreement. For some reason, a burst of sadness suddenly surged in his heart. Is this the leader who was bold and decisive in the past and trusted his brothers so much? Why did he actually trust his brothers in just a few years?
Are you and others suspicious to this extent?
Cheng Xianqing didn't know what Zhu Zhao was thinking. He walked over directly, patted Zhu Zhao on the shoulder and said: "Zhu Zhao, the hope of the empire rests on you. Our vitality is already severely damaged, how much more is it going to take?"
Let’s leave some foundation for the Holy Religion?”
Hearing this, Zhu Zhao raised his head and looked at Cheng Xianqing's trusting smile, and his heart suddenly warmed up: "That's all, this life was saved by the leader. Now I will fight for the leader."
"Attention, all the troops, prepare to charge to the east! Thirty miles ahead is Yinhuang Mountain. As long as we can rush to Yinhuang Mountain, we will be safe!" Zhu Zhao shouted loudly.
Directly to the north, the Wuyan Army was completely defeated.
In comparison, the Wuyan Legion is the weakest of the four legions of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and has the smallest number of troops, less than 40,000. In front of him, there are only 100,000 cavalry.
Li Xiaomo's Army of Destruction was also following behind them. Even if Li Wuyan was in a head-on collision with Hetao, they would not be a match for them, not to mention that Hetao had the upper hand.
In just one charge, Xinke had already broken up the defense line of the Wuyan Legion. One hundred thousand cavalry from the two legions launched a fierce attack from the five-mile-long defense line. Zhang Xinxin and Dou Guangye, who were on the flanks, even
He has already led his cavalry to bypass the defense line of the Silent Legion and outflank it from both sides, preparing to submerge the entire 40,000-strong Holy Bliss Army into the surging iron hooves of the Hetao.
Wuyan had just arrived at his command position, and he discovered painfully that out of the 40,000 soldiers in his entire legion, only less than 8,000 people around him were still able to obey his orders. The rest of the soldiers were either drowned.
In the formation of the Hetao cavalry, they either ran away in a swarm. After all, these are new recruits who have joined the army for less than half a year, and the current Paradise Holy Sect no longer has the faith and belief it had when it first launched its troops. If the battle goes well,
Then they may still be able to exert their true fighting power, but once the battle is at a disadvantage, running away becomes their best choice.
"No escape! Anyone who escapes without authorization will be punished by the three tribes!" Hui Wuyan shouted angrily, swinging out the sword in his hand, and two heads immediately flew high, but as soon as they landed on the ground, they were trampled by the surging big feet.
It was beyond recognition. There were so many fleeing soldiers that he couldn't control the situation at all.
"Escape? Where can you escape to?" Among the chaos, Xin Ke looked at the situation of the Holy Sect of Paradise, and a sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the Wuyan Legion is not bad. If it were not for our own strength advantage and the surprise attack, it would be impossible to collapse the opponent's defense line so easily. Now, except for the Hirang Legion, all of the Holy Sect of Paradise are able to
An army that fights ruthlessly but cannot fight tough battles. Cruelty and hardness are two completely different things. Cruel-hearted desperadoes are indeed quite powerful when fighting smooth battles and bullying the common people. However, this does not mean that they are not afraid.
Hell, when the situation is at a disadvantage, they run away faster. Even if there are a few ruthless people, they can't change the overall situation at all.
But the Hetao army is different. The Hetao army has always been good at fighting tough battles. Such people cherish their lives but are not afraid of death. They long for victory but are never afraid of failure. Their military discipline is like iron, their will is like steel and their momentum is like a rainbow. Such soldiers are the real hundred soldiers.
