Zhang Linhu's eyes were already wide-eyed. In less than half a moment, more than two hundred chariots almost fell from the sky and suddenly appeared, crushing his entire army, leaving mountains of corpses and seas of flesh along the way. Everything that went wrong was rotten, and these subordinates who had followed him for many years had no bones left. Even if you want to identify which pile of meat belongs to which body, you may have to do a DNA test to find out.
It's just that Zhang Linhu has no time to mourn for the more than a thousand people who died in the front army. There are still about a thousand troops left. His mind is blank now, and he doesn't know how to deal with the defeated troops, fight back, and leave the Jin army. The phalanx was too close, and the two hundred steps in front of this small stone barrier was almost endless flat land. Except for some Juma stars that had been moved away before and were scattered everywhere, the rest of the place was where the chariots could play their best. On the flat ground where the impact was coming, on such terrain, it seemed impossible for the remaining five or six hundred infantrymen in front to even escape. They could only form small groups and make desperate struggles like they are now.
Shun Cai's voice was trembling slightly: "Hu, Brother Huzi, what are we going to do? These chariots, these chariots are too brutal, we, our light infantry can't stop them at all."
Zhang Linhu suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he said loudly: "Yes, on this plain, our light soldiers, without formations, large shields, and long weapons, cannot stop the impact of the chariots. Damn it." Yes, then we must quickly use this terrain and the nearby stone fields to establish a defense line."
Shun Cai's eyes lit up: "That's right, after all, there are many remnants of the armored mechanists here, and there are so many rocks. If we make good use of this terrain, there will be a lot of things to cover, and the enemy's It’s impossible for a chariot to have such impact and speed.”
Zhang Linhu turned around and glanced behind him, only to see that there was already thick smoke and fog, and he could not see clearly what was going on inside. However, the sound of swords clashing could be heard endlessly. It was obvious that the fight was fierce and extremely fierce. I am afraid that the two people inside were fighting for life and death. We have a lot of people and we don’t know what’s going on outside.
Zhang Linhu gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "It seems that we can't count on the reinforcements from behind for a while. I don't know if Senior Brother Li's troops can come. Now no one can count on them. I can only rely on myself. I ordered everyone to withdraw as much as possible. All the five hundred archers should be dispersed and hidden in these stone formations. They should use the remnants of the armored machinemen as cover to fight on their own. If you get the opportunity, shoot these Jin troops for me and deal with them first. If the chariot's driver is missing, as long as there is no driver, the chariot will have no control and will be completely useless."
Shun Cai quickly waved the command flag and issued these orders. Many archers from Tianshi Dao suddenly became energetic when they saw this order. They had seen the friendly troops and partners in front of them being massacred like this one-sidedly. Even the extremely fierce Tianshi Dao sergeants had earth-colored faces and sweat all over their bodies. However, due to the military orders, they could only move forward and not retreat. They could only bite the bullet and stick to the spot until they saw these command flags and flags. Cai Saya ran backwards and soon disappeared into the remnants of the armored machine-headed men and piles of rocks.
The infantrymen of Tianshi Dao who were still fighting in the front also kept blowing whistles after seeing the flags. They no longer insisted on fighting in vain with the Jin army's chariots, and turned around and quickly headed in the direction of the rock field. Benxing, there were only a hundred or so fierce guys, probably their close relatives and friends who had just died, still shouting wildly and refusing to retreat.
However, although the battle of these people was in vain, it attracted the attention of the Jin army. In addition, there was smoke and stone fields in front of them. The Jin army's chariots, which had been rushing forward just now, also slowed down. They circled around and killed the Tianshi Dao disciples who had fallen behind. The Jin army's Tiaodang soldiers and long-swordsmen followed up one after another. On the one hand, they cleaned up the battlefield and gave life to the seriously injured Tianshi Dao sergeants. They made up for the last moment, and on the other hand, they also tried their best to follow behind and to the sides of their own tanks to provide protection and prevent sneak attacks.
This was more like a hunt than a battle, and it gradually came to an end. In a matter of seconds, nearly 200 steps in front of the Jin army's formation and a front four to five miles wide were scattered. Thousands of three hundred mutilated corpses of Tianshi Dao disciples, and the rolling wheels of the chariot covered with flesh and blood, have gradually stopped, and the bursts of smoke and dust they brought up have also slowly dissipated.
The mixed army of more than three thousand vehicles and footwork revealed its true appearance in the sunshine near noon. In this way, there were more than a hundred Tianshi Dao disciples remaining in the space of more than a hundred steps in the middle, and the large vehicle was surrounded by large numbers of disciples. The shields and spears, and the arrows of the crossbowmen on the carriages, were pointed directly at the light swordsmen in the center. If I had to use one word to describe this scene, it would be, trapped beasts still fighting.
Tan Zhi rode a horse, escorted by Tan Shihuai and others carrying the general's flag, and slowly came out to the front of the formation. He looked at the Tianshi Dao who was trapped in the center, holding a sword and gritting his teeth, looking around. Disciple, said in a deep voice: "I am Tan Zhi, General Ningshan of the Great Jin Dynasty, and also the former commander of the Jingzhou Army. You should know that we are in a desperate situation now. Even if we want to exchange one life for another, it is no longer possible. Put down your weapons and surrender, and I can guarantee that you won't die immediately."
A sad and rough voice rang out from the crowd, shouting: "Don't believe these Jin Gou's lies, everyone go ahead and fight them!"
Dozens of swordsmen responded to these words and shouted: "No surrender!" Then they rushed out with their swords in hand and rushed towards the Jin army's chariot thirty or forty steps away!
Tan Zhi shook his head gently. Without his order, the archers on these chariots used the bows and arrows they had prepared long ago to shoot at the charging Tianshi Dao disciples. From such a short distance, they fired continuously. These Tianshi Dao disciples who didn’t even have shields were massacred when they came up. After a shower of arrows washed away, there were more than thirty corpses on the ground that were shot like arrow targets, while more than a dozen slightly injured guys were standing on the ground. Standing with their swords in hand, they dragged their legs and supported each other as they retreated back into the crowd.
Tan Zhi shook his head and continued: "If you don't listen to me, you will lose your life. Why bother? Our officers and soldiers in the Jin Dynasty are benevolent and righteous people. Those who surrender will not be killed immediately. , before you Tianshi Dao caused chaos, many people were captured and reformed, and they were given a new life. They could reunite with their families, wives and children, so why bother to embark on this road of no return??" (End of this chapter)
