Zhang Sanpi couldn't help being slightly stunned when he heard this. He couldn't figure out for a moment whether Xie Guang was serious or joking.
He quickly sorted out his words and responded: "Commander, I'm not out of position, the Zhenjiang Army can't compare to the Xuanjia Army. In the past twenty years, we have hardly replenished our troops, and the whole army is only forty or fifty years old." Half an old man, coupled with the fierce fighting for days, has long been unable to hold on..."
Xie Guang raised his hand to stop Zhang Sanpi: "Deputy Protector Zhang, don't say that I am making things difficult for you. This arrangement makes sense. Think about it, Xuan Jia was galloping all the way and got here two days in advance. , Aren’t we tired? The whole army is exhausted and has no understanding of the depth of the enemy. It’s hard to win if we rush into battle rashly.”
He paused briefly and then continued: "On the contrary, although the soldiers in your department are a little older, they are all experienced veterans. After several days of continuous battles, everyone is maintaining a very high level of fighting at this time." state, and are very familiar with the enemy's situation. You can definitely switch from defense to offense."
Zhang Sanpi didn't say anything when he heard this, obviously he didn't agree with the other party's statement.
Xie Guang smiled slightly when he saw this: "What? Don't you dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's that I can't!" Zhang Sanpi frowned: "The Turks' current military strength is still more than twice that of the Protectorate. Isn't it child's play to defeat a large number with a small number?"
"Who said we can defeat the masses with a few?" Xie Guang said lightly: "As long as the brothers of the Zhenjiang Army are willing to set an example, the Xuanjia Army will be our backup. You will launch a counterattack against the Turks from the front, and I will dispatch 40,000 cavalry. The left and right wings will work together to contain the enemy and provide you with the necessary cover. Of course, if your department feels embarrassed and is really unwilling to fight, then forget it. Let's fight the Turks together, or watch them slip away."
Zhang Sanpi was silent for a moment, then looked at the Turkic army in the distance again, and said fiercely: "The fighter plane is fleeting! If they run away today, it will be difficult to catch up with them in this vast ghost desert. And the Turks Once it is broken into pieces and attacked from all sides, the people of the thirty-six countries in Western Xinjiang will definitely suffer."
"What do you mean?" Xie Guang asked calmly.
"Fight!" Zhang Sanpi gritted his teeth: "Please help the Xuanjia Legion to hold down the formation, and our Zhenjiang Protectorate will counterattack with all our strength!"
Tens of thousands of heavily armored cavalry, all in black armor, lined up neatly on the hill next to King Chechi's city, quietly waiting for the new command from their commander.
The afterglow of the setting sun illuminated the huge phalanx, giving the black shirt a metallic sheen. Countless sharp spear thorns were like a dense forest, constantly reflecting the sun's rays, making them dazzling.
In front of them was the lonely King Chechi City, and on the open plain to the south of the city, there was a loud killing sound.
The soldiers and horses of the Zhenjiang Protectorate launched a charge against the huge Turkic army!
No matter how the Blood Wolf Army guessed before, they never expected that the first to launch a counterattack would be the exhausted defenders who had endured five days and five nights.
The newly arrived Shengtang reinforcements actually stopped in the distance and became spectators.
The commander-in-chief of the Turkic army was originally hesitant about whether to lead his troops to retreat to a safe area and wait to find out the depth of the opponent before making further plans. However, as soon as the old and weak soldiers from the Protectorate came on stage, he immediately changed his mind.
Wouldn't it be better to evacuate after killing them?
So, Xuelang smiled ferociously, showed off his minions once again, and re-started a desperate battle with his old opponent who had fought fiercely for five days.
On the hill where the Xuanjia Legion was arrayed, Xu Youchang, the newly appointed Hussar Captain, was anxiously observing the situation on the battlefield. After holding it in for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it any longer and plucked up the courage to say: "Commander, is it time? Deputy Protector Zhang and the others have been fighting for two whole hours..."
Xie Guang raised his hand to stop what he said, still looking at the brutal fighting in front of him calmly.
Sima Junjun Di Xian, who was on the other side of him, smiled softly: "Xu Xiaowei, why are you so anxious? The main force of the Turks has not moved at all, how can we attack easily?"
Xu Youchang did not dare to be rude to Xie Guang, but he had no scruples with Di Xian: "Masters who join the army, please don't say sarcastic words! The Zhenjiang Protector's Mansion faced an enemy army several times larger than our own. We used infantry to hold back the Turkic cavalry for more than ten rounds of charges. , the corpses are almost piled up into a wall! I dare you not to fight there!"
"Presumptuous!" Xie Guang turned his head when he heard this and glanced at Xu Youchang.
Xu Youchang came from a wealthy family of famous generals and had always been fearless. However, facing Xie Guang's cold gaze, he couldn't help but feel nervous: "Commander, you just made a mistake in your lowly position. However, the Zhenjiang Army has fought hard before. Now, They are also fighting fiercely with the Turks. If they cannot withstand it and are overwhelmed by the enemy, then even if we join, we may not be able to make a difference..."
Xie Guang looked into the distance and smiled: "It stands to reason that they should have asked me for help an hour ago. But did you hear the sound of the horn? No! All that came from over there was the sound of the advancing drums! This Zhenjiang Protectorate is really not simple."
He turned to look at Xu Youchang: "You also came from the Zhenjiang Army. Are you so unsure of your old army?"
-
"Grandma's fault!" Du Jian was dragged back to the shield formation by the scouts, but he was still roaring viciously: "Come on! Come on again!"
Just now, when Lao Du was fighting in the battle, a Turkic war horse rushed out from the side and knocked him far away. He was almost hacked to death by the enemy on the spot. Thanks to several comrades who risked their lives to save him, he was able to pick up a weapon. Life.
Du Jian felt his head buzzing and shouted to Li Jiangyao next to him: "Boss, are those black-skinned stupid pigs eating shit?! Why didn't they come to help when they saw us all dead?"
Li Jiangyao ignored him, wiped the blood on his face with his cloak, and turned to look at Shuai Qi who was not far behind.
Two hours ago, they were ordered to march out of the city and enter the plain battlefield. In accordance with the Shengtang military system, they arranged the 40,000 soldiers and horses who were still able to fight into a hook-shaped formation and took the initiative to attack the Turkic wolf army.
Twenty thousand heavy infantry and archers formed the main formation, facing the enemy frontally; ten thousand light infantry on each of the left and rear wings formed a hook shape that curved backward to protect the general.
The Pegasus Scout Battalion where Li Jiangyao was located was originally at the forefront of the entire army. Looking back, he could only see the spire of the commander's flag. However, after just two hours of fighting, the Zhenjiang military formation was like ice cubes under the bright sun, melting rapidly.
Li Jiangyao and the others stepped on the layers of corpses and kept retreating. At this time, they could already clearly see the face of Deputy Protector Zhang Sanpi.
"There is no way to retreat..." Li Jiangyao murmured to himself and couldn't help but glance at the hills behind again.
There, there is the strongest legion from Middle-earth - the Black Armor Cavalry.
They are an invincible army created by Li Xinghe, the founding emperor of the Holy Tang Dynasty. They once galloped across the world and were invincible; but their current commander is Xie Guang, a famous dynasty general with great military exploits and prosperity.
But now, this elite, who is proud of the world, is just a bystander.
Li Jiangyao didn't want to think about these meaningless things anymore and asked: "Old Du, have you seen Lin Feng? Where is he?"
Du Jian rubbed his red eyes and looked around blankly: "He was still there when we charged, but now he has disappeared. Isn't that pretty boy dead? Lin Feng! Miss Lin——"
"What's the ghost's name?" A thin figure stood up dangling from the pile of dead people.
Li Jiangyao took a closer look and saw that Lin Feng, the usually elegant and elegant scout from the primary school, now looked like a bloody gourd, covered in blood and mud.
"Lin Feng, how many people in our team can still breathe?"
"There aren't many left, sir," Lin Feng said in a hoarse voice, "Some are dead, some are scattered. There are about sixty of them who are still here."
Li Jiangyao's heart sank when he heard this.
When Che Chiguo first assembled, the Ninth Flying Cavalry under his command had a full strength of 300 people. In the first five days of the city defense battle, seventy-four people were killed, but today, in one hour, only 20% of the original number was left.
This battle was really brutal.
Li Jiangyao sighed softly: "Lin Feng, you and Lao Du form a team, gather the archers, and collect the arrows on the battlefield. Lao Du, don't worry about those broken shields! Help Xiao Lin..."
Before he finished speaking, a dull horn horn sound suddenly sounded from the Turkic camp in the distance.
The sound of the trumpet came very suddenly, like an evil beast howling, making everyone tremble. The tired soldiers all stared at the place where the horn sounded.
There, a huge plume of smoke was rising into the sky.
The main force of the Turkic Blood Wolf Legion, the Wolf Guard, finally goes into battle!
Countless scimitars were waving wildly, countless horseshoes hit the ground hard, the mountains and rivers were shaking, and the sun and moon were dim!
The fast-moving cavalry sword forest, containing the astonishing power that can destroy everything, suddenly pressed towards the dilapidated Protectorate's front line.
A thousand steps! Eight hundred steps! Five hundred steps!
Just a few more breaths, and the Zhenjiang Army will be torn to pieces by it!
Li Jiangyao and the others didn't have time to think too much. They all picked up the spears scattered on the ground and leaned side by side. Everyone's hands were shaking uncontrollably, but there was no fear in their eyes to retreat or dodge.
What is supposed to come will eventually come. Rather than handing your back to the enemy and dying in humiliation, it's better to give it one last try!
Long live our emperor!
Hoarse throats shouted the battle cry of the Xinjiang Army like crazy, refusing to give in in the face of powerful enemies.
At this moment, Li Jiangyao had temporarily forgotten the world he had always missed.
If this is how fate is supposed to be, then accept it calmly.
It might be a good choice to die with comrades like Du Jian and Lin Feng.
Dong-dong-dong, a rush of war drums suddenly sounded from behind Li Jiangyao,
Immediately afterwards, countless huge fireballs soared into the sky from the rear of the Zhenjiang Army's defense line, drawing dazzling arcs in the air and flying towards the approaching Turkic cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the fiercely burning fireball fell into the enemy group, fire oil splashed everywhere, and flames shot into the sky! The Turkic horses were suddenly frightened and confused, and the originally forward charging formation was completely disrupted.
The cunning Zhang Sanpi actually moved the trebuchet and kerosene altar used to defend the city onto the battlefield!
Although this kind of long-range weapon is bulky, as long as the impact point location and launch time are measured in advance, through intensive release, it can indeed produce amazing lethality in a relatively fixed area.
And that relatively fixed area is the only way for the main force of the Blood Wolf Army to launch a charge.
In order to win, Zhenjiang Army took out its last trump card!
"Look!" Lin Feng suddenly pointed to the back and shouted excitedly. Everyone quickly looked in the direction of his finger, feeling equally surprised and happy.
A huge black wave was pouring down from the hills in the distance at this time. Countless shining spears, like silver fish tumbling in the huge waves, moved forward with the wave.
Xuan Jia will win! Kill kill kill!
The charging battle cry of the Shengtang Xuanjia Legion pounded into everyone's ears like a violent storm, and even the entire earth seemed to tremble violently.
Almost at the same time that the fireball fell into the enemy formation, the Xuanjia Army, which was the most brave in the world, was divided into three directions: left, center and right, and suddenly launched a charge towards the core of the battlefield.
