His emotions were ups and downs. It was the first time for Lan Xu to encounter this situation. He felt so deep that he couldn't breathe. Now, it seemed that their star army had lost all hope of victory. The sky was filled with mist. , just like his mood at the moment.
After pondering for a long time, it wasn't until a few drops of rain fell inexplicably from the sky that Lan Xu's expression changed a little.
As if God was taking pity on the Star Army trapped in the sea of fire, the rain fell harder and harder, first blurring everyone's sight, then soaking the clothes of the Star Army, and finally soaking the burning objects, accompanied by a roar. The roaring sound extinguished all the burning objects bit by bit.
The rain fell extremely unexpectedly, but it was extremely timely. Lan Xu's brows gradually relaxed. The feeling that the Star Army would be defeated by the Yi Army before the reinforcements arrived gradually became no longer so strong. He felt already in his heart. There is a feeling of survival from a desperate situation.
Similar to his change of mood, some generals were already thinking about whether to continue to propose to Lan Xu to withdraw their troops, because in the eyes of those people, they also had no chance of winning. However, after the rain fell, their doubts gradually gradually be eliminated.
As long as the rain can extinguish the fire on the battlefield, the Star Army will assemble as quickly as possible, and then the defense line can be organized smoothly.
"Pass my military order to kill all those who are timid or those who try to escape." The reinforcements must block the Yi army's offensive before they can break through. Now is the best time. Seeing that the heavy rain has no tendency to stop, Lan Xu immediately issued the order. A military order to fight to the death.
"Yes," the next moment, the heralds left one by one with their command flags, and then rode horses to shuttle between the arrays of the Star Army.
"The marshal has an order. Anyone who retreats from the battle will be killed without mercy," he yelled as he ran. The herald would repeat it three times every time he went to an area.
At the same time, Lan Xu ordered people to beat the war drums vigorously to show his determination to fight to the death with the Yi Army. After the order to fight to the death was issued, it had a direct impact on the demoralized Star Army, and the rain extinguished the flames. Bringing fresh air to them cheered them up one by one. Led by the veterans in the army, a group of star troops rushed to the wing army regardless of their own safety. Even if they died, they still set an example for the new troops behind them with determination.
Thanks to the rain, the impact of the fire on the Star Army was getting smaller and smaller. More and more Star Army joined the battlefield. With mutual cooperation, the Star Army finally had a tendency to stop the retreat, but by this time it had already stopped. Tens of thousands of people died at the hands of the Yi army.
The decisive battle with the Yi Army ultimately resulted in too many casualties due to the poor thinking of Lan Xu and others. More importantly, as the war continues, the number of Star Army casualties will continue to increase.
On the contrary, the total number of casualties on the Yi Army's side, including those who died in the original battle and those who died in the current battle, is less than 40,000. The most important thing is that the morale of the Yi Army is now greatly increased, and each Yi Army can exert its full combat power. , unlike some star troops who were directly killed by the wing troops when they were frightened and did not even have a chance to resist.
Fortunately, the rain fell in time. After Lan Xu issued the order to fight to the death, the injured battalion commanders finally led the army to stabilize the situation. There was no longer a large-scale rout on the front. It was only after such a long time that the Yi Army The spread wings have surrounded most of the Star Army, so that the entire battlefield area has expanded to several times its original size.
After the situation gradually improved, at Lu Yunyou's place, the Yi Army that had just arrived successfully blocked the defense line. For a while, Lu Yunyou and the others were still unable to rush out, but due to their influence, the Star Army's front line had moved forward as a whole. On the long front, The Yi army's defeat became increasingly obvious.
There were only 30,000 wing troops to resist Lu Yunyou and the others. Ruan Qiling used the main force of the wing army on the original battlefield. Now the situation in the rear was not good. Due to the rain, he who had a sure chance of victory gradually frowned and felt in his heart. Had a bad premonition.
"Heaven is going to kill me," Ruan Qiling's eyes became darker after sighing secretly.
In fact, as long as he persists on the battlefield in the rear for a while, he is confident enough to defeat the Star Army. Now the rear can barely hold on, but the front is not as good as he thought because of the rain. Taken together, the battle situation has entered a stalemate. The next period of time will determine the outcome of both sides, but he has given up hope.
"Marshal, the rear defense line is about to be unable to hold up." Beside the tank, a wing army general took the lead and looked at the situation at the rear, and then turned to look forward: "The main force of the Star Army has stabilized its position. I am afraid that there will be an attack on the enemy next time." Our army launches a counterattack!"
"Yes," Ruan Qiling nodded and sat slumped in the chariot, not caring about the rain.
"Marshal, can our army still win?" Seeing that Ruan Qiling had lost his original temper, the general of the Yi Army who had just asked the question couldn't help but become worried.
"It depends on God's will." A heavy rain extinguished their hope of victory. Ruan Qiling had no choice but to let the situation develop.
After a period of time, 30,000 reinforcements broke through the Yi Army's defense line and joined the battlefield one after another, directly causing the Yi Army in front of them to fall into a situation where they were attacked from both sides.
Because the battlefield was too large, the personnel of both sides were too widely distributed. Later, under the attack from the front and rear of the Star Army, the distribution of the Wing Army troops in each position was very weak. Moreover, after fighting with the Star Army behind, because the battle line was too long, the Wing Army had already Unable to gather them together as quickly as possible, they could only forcibly separate some personnel to deal with the Star Army, but that would only make the forces in some places weaker.
Those areas with weak military strength can easily be broken through by the Star Army. Once they are continuously broken through, the Wing Army will be divided into many parts. At that time, regardless of whether it is left or right, it will be easily surrounded by the Star Army. Once the situation is completely reversed, the Wing Army will again No chance of winning.
As the number of Star troops joining the battlefield from the rear continued to increase, chaos often occurred in the formation of the Wing Army, making it increasingly difficult to command. As the chaos intensified, the overall situation slowly shifted towards the Star Army.
In the rain, those star troops who found a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation were killing with great ease, and the battle line continued to advance. On the high platform, Lan Xu, whose mood had undergone several huge changes, finally showed a happy look on his face.
It is worth mentioning that during the fierce battle between the two armies, Lu Yunyou in the crowd didn't have much idea about killing Yijun, but because of Zhang Jiutian's initial words, he thought that Ling Yun and Fang Qing were both in danger on the battlefield. , out of concern for those friends, he passed through the border and killed the Yijun in front of him with one sword after another. He could no longer remember how many Yijun people died in his hands.
Under the Wuchen Sword, the ordinary Yijun's weapons were vulnerable to a single blow and broke as soon as they were cut. Each Yijun fell at his feet. Lu Yunyou, Zhang Jiutian and others continued to break through the Yijun's defense line and interact with the three thousand star troops of their headquarters. When combined with it, it was like a sharp blade, creating a gap in the huge battlefield.
With the Wuchen Sword in hand, he had no worries against a seventh-level martial artist. Even if he could not kill the opponent, he could still guarantee that he would not be killed by the opponent.
Affected by the performance of Lu Yunyou's soldiers, other generals also led their men to charge bravely. As time went by, more and more wing armies were separated. If many wing armies could get together, the situation would be better, as there were fewer people. The area was directly surrounded and eliminated by the Star Army.
Originally, the Wing Army stretched the front line to surround the main force of the Star Army, but now it provided convenience to the Star Army in the rear. As the Star Army continued to break through the defense line, the morale of the main force of the Wing Army dropped significantly.
As if a huge mountain was pressing on his heart, Ruan Qiling couldn't breathe for a long time on the chariot. The situation was so urgent, but he couldn't think of any way to deal with it. He could only lament that the sky was going to kill him. This rain brought too much to the Star Army. Great hope.
When Ruan Qiling kept thinking about his defeat to God's will, on the huge battlefield, the wing troops were frightened, and their combat strength was greatly reduced. They were helpless in the face of the surging star army, and because their troops were scattered, The shield soldiers mixed in the crowd had no effect at all and could only be killed separately by the Star Army.
Zhang DaDa and his cavalry battalion sergeants finally made it to the front. One by one, the cavalry ran rampant in the Yi Army's camp, directly disrupting the Yi Army's formation and creating an opportunity for the infantry behind to attack.
Now that there was a cavalry charge, the battle became easier. Before long, the Yi Army, which had the upper hand, suffered a large-scale rout. The surrounded Yi Army was thinking about how many enemy troops were in front of them, and how many enemy troops were behind them. How many enemy troops were there, regardless of the head or tail, and it was difficult to concentrate. In the end, everyone had the feeling that they would be attacked by the star army behind at any time.
The change in the morale of the Yi Army provided the Star Army with more attack opportunities. Many Star Army took advantage of the unpreparedness of the Yi Army in front of them and killed the Yi Army in time, just like when the main force of the Yi Army launched a large-scale attack just now and killed the panicked Star Army. Same as the army.
With a large number of Yi Army soldiers killed in the battle, the Yi Army's defeat could no longer be contained. Although Ruan Qiling knew that the Xing Army's reinforcements only numbered 30,000, he was still unable to cope with it. With the enemy on his front and back, it was difficult for the Yi Army to even execute military orders. Because he could not block the Xing Army's reinforcements, With the army's 30,000 reinforcements, Ruan Qiling had no way to change the situation of the battle.
