Chapter 314: Kill a Thousand with One Sword

Duduo stood on the broken fort with a livid face, shaking all over. The elite soldiers of the Eight Banners who were once invincible across the world, now looked like moths to a flame before his eyes. Thousands of them died at the foot of the hillside, leaving countless broken corpses within a few hundred steps. This kind of despair , which was even more chilling than when the cannonball almost landed on his head.

Even if several Gu Shan'er really died in front of him, they never made him frightened like this.

Niu Lu'e is really dead, Gu Shan'e is really dead, and they can still be promoted. But thousands of elite cavalry lined up to kill them, and the feeling made Duduo's heart bleed.

It's not that the men are not strong, it's that the enemy is too cruel!

Things are changing. Once upon a time, Ming Ting, who was defeated time and time again on the battlefield, probably felt the same way, right?

The Tatars are by no means unpowerful. Every Yi and Di nation in the ascendant stage has once achieved great power for a while. The Xiongnu, Turks, Khitans, Jurchens, and Tatars all had great wealth in their ancestors. Controlling the world and establishing a country, it can be said that he is not tyrannical.

But they are all transgressions of a moment, not of a lifetime. They all have their own huge limitations - these existences have actually failed to create a truly brilliant civilization. In fact, they have no basis in civilization. Even those who founded a country, such as the Khitans, Jurchens, Tatars, or the Manchu Qing Dynasty who originally occupied the Central Plains in history, were actually annexed by the Xia civilization, whether actively or passively.

But this kind of annexation was full of contradictions when they dominated this land. As a result, whether it was the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, the Yuan and Meng Dynasties, or the original Manchu and Qing Dynasties in history, they all gave people a very awkward feeling. They do not have the bones of the Han Dynasty, the style of the Tang Dynasty, the cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and they do not have the Ming Dynasty. Full of a contradictory feeling, they cannot truly inherit the essence of the Zhuxia nation.

In this contradiction, they suppressed, rejected, and rejected all advancements, and quickly completed the transformation of internal corruption. The things they hold on to dominate the world can produce miraculous results when faced with decay, but when faced with prosperity, their backward nature is immediately bloodyly revealed.

The cavalry of Donglu were probably one of the strongest cavalry in this era. Looking around the world, under the same conditions, there are not many people who can confront him head-on. But Donglu's cavalry also had its huge flaws - in fact, Donglu's tyranny was based on their barbarism.

When it comes to discipline, apart from the regular organization of the army, there is also a huge difference in the uniformity of equipment in the same army. In addition to having the commonality of bows and crossbows, each of the Tatar elite soldiers is different.

They had just come out of the mountains and forests, but they still retained the wild habits of beasts, so in terms of individual quality, regardless of physical fitness, if they were to fight in a one-on-one fight, even Ying Yi's soldiers might not be their opponents. But if a cluster attacks, there is no advantage.

Decades ago, Nurhachi raised an army with thirteen suits of armor. How many Jurchens did Jianzhou have? Half of their current population and military strength came from the conquest of other mature women, and the other half came from the conquest of the wild Jurchens in the White Mountains and Black Waters.

This is why they still retain their barbarism.

Those wild Jurchens are truly wild tribes, like savages. So they were very ferocious, and they were invincible when facing the corrupt and cowardly Ming court. But when faced with the absolute order of Ying Yi, its weakness was undoubtedly exposed.

The entire Sanshan Camp was boiling with excitement, and the fighting at the two mountain passes leading to the west and north was extremely fierce. Due to the different commanders, the battles in the two places are also different.

Zhu Bingkun is more calm and calm, and he knows how to advance and retreat. After relying on his superior firepower to kill two groups of charging Tatar troops, he pulled the army apart and stepped back two hundred steps to create a flexible space, giving the Tatars the illusion of being slightly relaxed. However, it caused greater casualties to the Tatars.

The six thousand people led by another captain in Tongbei fought hard with the Tatars. Instead of letting go of the flexible space, they gradually tightened the pressure, putting more pressure on the Tatars. The casualties caused by the Tatars were actually smaller.

We can't say who is right or wrong, but under Ying Yi's grand strategy of killing and injuring active forces, there is no doubt that the captain of Tongbeishan Pass lost a bit.

For the time being, Ying Yi's army has an absolute advantage, but the Tatars have not yet shown signs of defeat due to their superior strength.

At this time, Ying Yi led three thousand personal guards to block the mountain pass to the east.

When artillery fire rang out in the west and north, it was impossible not to know about it in the east. The moment they saw it, the Tatar military camps on both sides of the mountain pass on the East Road were boiling with excitement. Under the moonlight, there were crowds of people, war horses neighing, and torches rising and falling one after another.

The Tatars prepared their army, and groups of cavalry went to the west and north to learn about the situation while preparing for war.

Then I discovered Ying Yi outside the mountain pass.

The three thousand people were silent. Under the moonlight, the pale golden armor of each statue was covered with a milky white halo. There was only one person at the head, pitch black, like a black hole, swallowing up all the moonlight.

A huge howl sounded, and soon a thousand cavalrymen rushed down from the hillside on the left.

Ying Yi's three thousand personal guards remained motionless, like eternal rocks, and no one made a sound. Thousands of Tatar cavalry were clearly a test move. They had not received news from the west and north at this time, so they naturally sent people to test.

Ying Yi raised the Zhang-long sword, and a faint red glow began to glow under the dark armor. This kind of halo is like the morning sun, getting brighter and brighter, seeping out from the gaps in the armor, and wisps of it, like dragons and snakes coiled around, gradually spread and wrap around the sword.

The surrounding air heated up rapidly, and Ying Yi inside was like a huge furnace with boundless heat.

Ying Yi's body has become so powerful that his energy and blood have become substantial!

It was like a sun rising slowly as a thousand Tatar cavalry approached rapidly.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, fifty steps, thirty steps. The buzzing sound shook the sky, and a large rain of arrows was thrown out, drawing a huge and beautiful arc in the air, and falling like a heavy rain.

Amidst the clanging sound, the three thousand guards stood firm, despite the heavy rain. Ying Yi stretched out his arms, shook his hands, and swung his sword suddenly. As if in a dream, a light red blade of blood and energy shot out. In an instant, the Tatars who rushed forward were cleared away, and then he saw that beam of energy and blood. It exploded suddenly, like a living creature, turning into a thin snake as thick as a thumb, swimming in all directions, extremely fast and fast!

The sound of horse hooves continued, but the howling of people stopped abruptly.

Then there was a popping sound, and headless corpses fell down among the galloping horses. A thousand people were all killed by Ying Yi's sword!

In Ying Yi's eyes, the power of the soul surged, and an extremely dangerous surprise enveloped the three thousand people behind him. The thousand horses were immediately frightened, as if they saw a roaring tiger, and some fell directly as they rushed closer. Pour, foaming at the mouth. The rest all bypassed and fled to both sides.
