Fires were everywhere and smoke was billowing.
Under the stunned reaction of Viyas Hadi and fifty thousand Tianzhu soldiers and horses, gunpowder smoke mixed with sand and dust rolled up in the square formation of five thousand Tianzhu soldiers and horses.
The smoke gradually dissipated, and more than twenty gaps of various sizes were instantly exposed, revealing corpses on the ground and curled up and wailing Tianzhu soldiers and horses.
Cheng Kai put down the telescope in his hand with excitement, laughed and slapped his thigh under the armor: "Haha, the first bomb blew up eleven, and the general will win!
Warlord, one hundred taels! "
Cheng Kai is a high-grade general, and Yun Chong is also a high-grade general. They are both masters with extraordinary eyesight, and they can naturally see the situation in the enemy's formation.
He stroked his beard and smiled cheerfully: "Okay, I owe you one hundred taels of silver notes."
The moment the two of them were talking, the watchman of the artillery formation had already waved the flag in his hand.
"There is an error of twenty to fifty steps. The gun body is raised two fingers high and five rounds are fired rapidly."
As soon as Wyashardi and his troops reacted to the power of the shell explosion, another rumbling sound of artillery resounded across the wilderness, and the flaming shells once again bombarded the army's formation.
The Tianzhu soldiers and horses stared blankly at the artillery shells that were bombarding their side like meteors falling to the ground in the sky, standing there in a daze not knowing what to do.
Having never seen artillery, they really didn't know how to resist such a powerful weapon.
When the sound of shells exploding again and the screams of soldiers and horses came, Wyashadi woke up and looked at the position of the Chinese army outside the encirclement where Yun Chong was in panic.
"Then...what is that? Buddha's punishment?"
However, no one could answer Vyashadi's question. Only wave after wave of flaming shells continued to bombard the dense phalanx of tens of thousands of people.
Under each wave of bombardment, a gap inevitably appeared in the dense army formation, and the center of the gap was filled with the wails of soldiers and horses.
"Disperse, quickly disperse the formation!"
When the fifth wave of shells bombarded him, Wyashardi, who reacted from his confusion, waved his dagger and roared.
However, the reaction speed of soldiers and horses is no match for the speed of cannonballs.
Vyas Hardy's heart-rending roar was completely drowned in the sound of the shell explosion.
"Spread out, quickly spread out the formation."
"Spread out, quickly spread out the formation."
After the explosion disappeared, Wyashardi waved his dagger again and howled.
After a moment, the Tianzhu soldiers and horses reacted and opened the gap between them in a chaotic formation.
Yun Chong put down his telescope and raised the flag in his hand.
"After the order was given, the gunners fired all the shells and spaced the cannons until the gun barrels were completely heated.
The troops and horses of each unit continued to make circuitous moves, gradually shrinking the defense line, until the enemy's formation was scattered and unable to fight back, and they immediately approached and were covered with arrows. "
"Got the order!"
The neat and orderly sound of the war drums changed again, and the dragon cavalry wandering around the periphery of the 50,000 Tianzhu soldiers and horses once again accelerated their attack speed. With their bows and arrows bent, they gradually narrowed the scope of the encirclement.
"Commander, the enemy's cavalry has the tendency to shrink the encirclement and approach our army."
"Send the order, shrink...shrink..."
Wiashadi raised the dagger in his hand and looked at the cannonballs bombarding the sky. He could not give the order to shrink the formation.
The phalanx he was proud of has now become a formation that puts him in a dilemma.
Listening to the explosion of artillery shells and the screams of the soldiers around him, Wyashardi looked at Deputy Commander Coors, whose face was flushed and sweating like rain: "Coors, what should I do?"
"Why don't we attack and find a way to destroy these terrifying weapons of the enemy dragons."
Wyashardi was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly: "The whole army attacks. As long as we attack their general's position, we can turn defeat into victory."
Under the attack of the messengers, the Tianzhu soldiers and horses with one gap after another suppressed the panic in their hearts. Facing the sound of trombone horns, they once again raised their weapons and charged towards the encirclement of the dragon cavalry.
"Reporting to the warlord, the enemy has launched another charge."
Yun Chong looked at the battlefield several miles away with an unchanging expression, looking at the soldiers who had once again tightened their encirclement towards the enemy.
"The drum beat and the order was sent, two waves of arrows covered the enemy, and they immediately distanced themselves.
The enemy's formation is not chaotic and they keep flying kites!
The gunner's position is ready to change and rearrange the artillery positions at any time. "
"Got the order!"
The sound of the war drums changed again, causing the heart of Wyashardi who was riding on the horse to tremble violently. He gradually discovered that once the enemy's rumbling drums changed, his own soldiers and horses would encounter a sudden change. The wave hit hard.
The sound of the drum was like a summons from a devil in hell, silently eating away at the lives of our own troops.
Another wave of arrow rain covered them, and the phalanx of tens of thousands of Tianzhu troops fell down like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
When the archers stopped and started to fight back, the enemy army was already tens of steps away, out of the archers' range.
Wyashadi, who was in the central square, looked at the four smaller formations of soldiers and horses on the periphery of the four square formations. His arm holding the long sword kept trembling, and he looked at the high flags of the vanguard soldiers and horses. Cursed loudly.
"Despicable dragon man, despicable dragon general, you have the ability to confront me head-on!"
However, his voice was directly drowned in the smoke and dust after the horse's attack, and could not be heard by Yun Chong at all!
"Coors, let Gandhi lead his cavalry to pursue the despicable dragoons."
"Commander, no, once the cavalry on Gandhi Road leaves our formation, we will have no way to stop the enemy's charge.
Moreover, Gandhi Road will be surrounded by regiments of Dalong's cavalry and will be annihilated bit by bit. "
"Then what do you want me to do? What are these terrifying weapons?"
"Commander, withdraw your troops, our infantry can't catch up with Dalong's cavalry.
These despicable dragons don't dare to engage in close combat with us. They just run away after shooting arrows. Even if our infantry is exhausted, they can't outrun the four legs of the war horse. "
Wyashardi looked at the oval shape in the smoke, and then the perfect circle shape, which was wandering far away on the outside of the battle formation, waiting for opportunities, and then looked up at the outside of the encirclement, which bombarded the square formation from time to time. The incoming shells made his teeth creak.
"Retreat! Retreat!
Retreat back to Zara City immediately! "
The messenger next to Vyas Hadi immediately shouted loudly and rushed towards the four surrounding square formations.
Under the bombardment of artillery shells, in two sticks of incense, the remaining Tianzhu troops began to withdraw towards the rear.
"Report, report to the warlord, the enemy's formation has changed direction and seems to be withdrawing."
Yun Chong put down the telescope in his hand that was also observing the battlefield.
"Want to run? It's not that easy!"
"Beat the drum to send the order. During the enemy's change of formation, immediately approach and be covered with arrows, then distance yourself, hang them, and wait for the arrival of the main army."
"Got the order!"
The change in the sound of the war drums made Wyashardi, who had already figured out what the sound of the dragon drums represented, tremble and look around hurriedly.
Seeing the dragon cavalry speeding up again and charging toward their own troops, it was already too late to pass on the order to stop changing formations and defend on the spot.
Just as Cheng Kai and Yunchong said.
Although the formation of ten thousand people is only an iron barrel, changing formations will also be the biggest constraint. The spears in their hands are certainly the nemesis of the cavalry.
But the speed of the cavalry is not their nemesis.
Under the flawless eyes of Wyas Hardy, the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in changing formations faced the most serious attack from the dragon cavalry.
Wave after wave of dense arrow rain covered the heads of Tianzhu soldiers and horses.
Each wave of arrow rain means that there are fewer soldiers and horses on the periphery of Tianzhu's 10,000-person phalanx.
"Counterattack the enemy...withdraw...shrink..."
The orders that should have been blurted out were stuck in Vyashardi's throat, and he could never say them out.
After the generals of their respective phalanxes commanded the troops and horses to change formations, the four outer phalanx formations of Tianzhu soldiers and horses were already dead and wounded, and the number of people in the original phalanx of 10,000 people was reduced by about 30%.
Coors looked at the big dragoon who was riding away again, and looked at Wyashardi in panic.
"Commander...Commander, what should we do? The enemy seems not to let us withdraw! In just half a day, our strength has been reduced to more than 20,000 people!
If the fight continues, the entire army will be wiped out..."
The earth trembled, and the sound of rushing and killing resounded between heaven and earth.
On the wilderness in the east, west, and north directions outside the encirclement of the Dragon Pioneer Cavalry, an endless long dragon of soldiers and horses appeared in each direction.
Flags roared and horses galloped.
Under the Great Dragon Flag, long dragons of 50,000 cavalrymen from three directions were rushing towards the battlefield.
Yun Chong put down his telescope and looked around in surprise. He looked at the long dragons of cavalry under the dragon flags in three directions. His eyes were a little surprised, but also a little natural.
Pulling out the sword from his waist, he happily turned over and dismounted, holding on to his wrist guards and walked toward the center of the battlefield. He looked at Cheng Kai and the generals who were following him and grinned.
"A disparity in military strength? Yes, there is indeed a disparity in military strength.
The Tianzhu general named Coors immediately understood what the real disparity in strength was.
What did Your Majesty say?
oh! The warlord thought about it.
Once a person seeks death, he becomes blind. "
