After all, the Iron Guard has traveled a long distance to attack. If the battle goes well, it's okay, but if the battle goes wrong, the combat effectiveness of this unit will drop rapidly.
When the vital pontoon bridge was delayed and failed to be laid, even Prince Wulu knew that there was something wrong with his order.
He could see that the current Iron Guard was really powerless. He had no way to blame the Iron Guard and their commander for not being effective, but could he admit that there was a problem with his order?
Prince Wulu will not accept it no matter what!
He was like a gambler at this time. Since he had made some bets and lost some bets, he wanted to put all the chips in his hand and earn back everything he lost.
Although the Iron Guard failed to achieve their set goal, doesn't he still have the Eagle Guard in his hand?
After the Eagle Guard Commander received the order, he did not dare to refuse Prince Wulu. Even if he knew that there would be no results if he continued to fight like this!
But isn't there an iron guard standing in front of him? What's so scary about him?
Lu Xu was a little speechless when he saw Prince Wulu bringing all the troops forward.
He thought that Prince Wulu might be a little rebellious because he was forced to a dead end. But he really didn't expect that Prince Wulu could be so rebellious!
However, since Prince Wulu had to kill him, Lu Xu would not refuse.
After nearly an hour of tug-of-war, and after the Beiting people paid a huge price in casualties, they finally set up a pontoon bridge and sent the crashed car to the other side of the river.
It seemed to be to reward Prince Wulu for his efforts. Soon, something surprising happened to him.
I saw that his crash car had just crossed the other side of the river. The gate of Wei'an Fort suddenly opened wide, and a group of people came out from inside!
Suler saw Yu Feng rushing out with a group of troops, and his entire face turned pale. Of course he recognized that the troops being slaughtered were the famous Iron Guards under King Youxian.
Although the Iron Guards are now beaten by the Xin'an Army and cannot hold their head high, that is because the Xin'an Army has the dual advantages of geographical location and weapons.
In Suler's view, any army in the world that dares to challenge King Youxian's three guardsmen when their strength is equal is going to die!
Who is King Youxian? Not only is he one of the three giants of Beiting, but he also occupies some of the only agricultural land under the Beiting Khanate.
Those lands are a treasure in the eyes of any Beiting people, and at the same time, his land is naturally a serious problem in the eyes of Daliang people.
In other words, what King Youxian usually faces is a situation where almost everyone in the world is the enemy.
But he has been able to stand firm for so many years, and his strength has become stronger and stronger. It relies on the almost invincible Three Guards Army!
Not to mention Lu Xu's Xin'an Army, in Suler's mind, even the dragon cavalry of Beiting Khan were no match for King Youxian's three guards even if they were in equal numbers!
Especially the Iron Guard among the three guards, which is the strongest unit among the three guards of King Youxian. They not only have to fight against other tribes in the grassland, and may even include the light cavalry and heavy cavalry of Beiting Khan, but also against Daliang's
Heavy infantry troops.
The tactical literacy of the soldiers in such a unit is naturally extremely terrifying!
Lu Xu can take advantage of the long-range advantage of the Eagle Bow, but now Lu Xu dares to let people go out of the city to fight against the Iron Guard?
Suler felt that Lu Xu was asking his soldiers to die!
Of course, Suler would not feel sorry for the casualties of the Xin'an Army. What he cared about was that Lu Xu dared to open the door in front of the Iron Guard, which in Suler's eyes was considered "welcoming the king's master".
When the Iron Guards rush into the city, how can he, Surel, survive?
Obviously, nowadays, there are many people who have similar ideas to Suler!
When Prince Wulu saw the gate of Wei'an Castle open, he thought Lu Xu was as crazy as him.
He was jumping for joy!
He immediately ordered his troops to press forward across the entire line, striving to capture Wei'an Fort directly.
But the facts proved that he thought too much...
After all, his soldiers had just crossed the moat. Even if there was a pontoon bridge, the transportation of troops was not as good as the flat land.
In terms of total military strength, he indeed surpassed Lu Xu. But in terms of the ability to deploy troops on the shore near Wei'an Fort within a unit of time, Lu Xu was even better.
Not to mention, Lu Xu also asked some of his troops to continue to put firepower near the pontoon bridge.
And what Lu Xu dropped this time was not even an armor-piercing arrow, but a "rocket" with kerosene!
This kind of arrows not only greatly slowed down the follow-up troops of the Iron Guard, but also caused great damage to the pontoon bridge, thus further hindering Prince Wulu from sending troops to Wei'an Fort.
This gave Lu Xu the opportunity to fight with more on his side!
Lu Xu's Xin'an Army and King Youxian's Iron Guard are the only two heavily armored units known to Lu Xu that mainly use breastplates.
After a long wait, the two forces finally collided.
But from the beginning, these two forces were not equal opponents!
If a heavily armed force wants to defeat Lu Xu, there is only one way - heavy armor and long spears, and it must also hoard heavy troops to crush him with absolute strength advantage.
Lu Xu once thought of forming a pike unit because facing such an enemy, his Xin'an Army lacked effective countermeasures.
Facts have proven that the eagle bow can indeed break through the enemy's heavy armor. But if you want the eagle archers to maintain a certain amount of firepower, they must have a relatively good "output environment."
To put it simply, there must be someone in front of the eagle archer who can block the enemy's attack.
In most cases, the Xin'an Army's Zhanma Dao can accomplish this mission. Even when facing heavily armored cavalry, they can still fight.
But only when faced with heavy infantry units equipped with long spears, with their one-inch-long and one-inch-strong fighting style, Zhanma Sword has no good way to defeat them.
However, although the Iron Guard is a cavalry unit with extremely strong infantry combat capabilities, they are cavalry after all, and it is naturally impossible for them to equip infantry spears that are often more than three or four meters tall.
Moreover, they did not have any advantage in terms of strength. This battle was not a fair duel from the beginning.
Although the Tiewei's personal bravery is indeed strong enough, in the face of the Xin'an Army's repeatedly tempered sword formation, personal bravery is the most useless thing. Only discipline can counter the discipline engraved in the bones of the Xin'an Army.
But Iron Guard obviously does not have one!
The Iron Guards also knew that now they had no way out. They all rushed towards the Xin'an Army without fear of death, facing the sharp blade. Then they were humiliatingly killed by the Xin'an Army's knife without any ability to fight back.
The formation crushed it!
Suler watched with his own eyes as Yu Feng and his men slaughtered his compatriots like cutting wheat in Wei'an Fort.
No matter what, he could not accept that the Iron Guards were defeated in such a humiliating way! In his heart, these proud men on the grassland should have a more dignified death!
