Chapter 380 Deputy General Tieniu
"This... this... what should I do..." At this time, Eliok's voice already had a clear vibrato. He was obviously shocked by this extremely terrifying news!
"Alas!" Hu Gao sighed: "After the army is defeated, I'm afraid all the warships in the entire Hans City will have no time to look after us. By then, a large number of soldiers will be sent back to the south bank of the Hans River. If it's our turn, I'm afraid It will be a long time ago!"
"Hu Gao! Think of a way, we can't just sit here and wait for death, right?!" Eliuk finally paid attention to Beard's opinion this time.
Shaking his head, Hu Gao sighed: "This Du Long, the commander-in-chief of the Haotian Empire's three armies, knowing that the battle on the Qingyun Grassland is extremely critical, actually dared to divide the monster army into two groups, stay in the Qingyun Grassland, and send out to intercept us. ! This shows that he has already grasped the pearl of wisdom!"
"Is there no way at all?!" Eliuk said slightly unwillingly.
"Now we only have to wait and see when the empire's navy will arrive to pick us up! In order to delay as much time as possible, we can only implement military ration control and limited supply, and all war horses will be used as military rations when necessary. !" Hu Gao could only suggest this.
"General Ai! The general thinks that what Hu Gao said is equivalent to passively waiting for death. According to the general's opinion, we should take the initiative to attack. It is estimated that as long as we send 200,000 troops, we can drive away the tens of thousands of monsters blocking the exit. !" Finally, a general disagreed with Hu Gao's strategy and spoke loudly.
General Eliuk suddenly became indecisive. He knew that the main army in the Qingyun Grassland area had been defeated. The longer it took, the worse it would be for him. This general who was accustomed to talking about war on paper showed his shortcomings of lack of actual combat experience. .
As if he knew what he was hesitating about, Hu Gao spoke at the right time: "General! If you want to test the strength of this monster army, you can't do it. However, my subordinates suggest that only infantry be sent to fight, and the remaining war horses can be used as future troops." We don’t have enough military rations, so it doesn’t matter if we lose some personnel, as we can save food!”
Hu Gao's words were too straightforward and seemed too inhumane to many people present who had never experienced a real war. Many generals on the spot rolled their eyes and stared at him with disdain!
Hu Gao completely ignored this. He didn't bother to pay attention to these guys who could only talk on paper at the rear!
"Forget it! Just as General Hu Gao said, we must first assemble an army of 200,000, prepare to leave the northwest camp gate, and attack the Knight Riding Monster Legion with all our strength!" Eliok finally made a decision.
Dong dong dong...
In the Blue Moon Camp, the sound of war drums soon sounded, and soon an army of 200,000 people was assembled and began to line up and march toward the northwest camp gate!
On the wall of the northwest camp gate, Eliuk led a group of generals and stood there, watching with complicated eyes as a large number of soldiers came out of the camp gate, formed a dense formation, and rushed towards the army of monsters on the opposite side!
In the distance, the Cavalry Monster Legion, which originally seemed a little listless, immediately became energetic after seeing the Blue Moon Empire's army finally attacking. They re-lined up one by one and formed a neat formation, waiting for the Blue Moon Empire's army to arrive.
For this passage, which is only one or two hundred meters wide, it can only accommodate a phalanx of ten thousand people at most at one time, and it is also extremely dense. For the Knight Riding Monster Legion, this is simply tailor-made for itself. battlefield!
These people from the Blue Moon Empire are so funny, they actually think about themselves like this. Tieniu, the first lieutenant of this monster army, who was Ou Yezi’s eldest disciple, saw that there was only such a narrow entrance and exit in the entire Blue Moon Camp. When I saw it, I was overjoyed on the spot!
You know, the order he received from Du Long was to block the 600,000 Blue Moon army, as long as they were not allowed to come out to participate in the grassland war!
I originally felt that with my 50,000 monster beast army, it would be too difficult to contain the 600,000-strong army. I never thought that when I fell asleep, my opponent actually gave me a big pillow. What a thoughtful idea!
Soon, the first phalanx of 10,000 people in Blue Moon's army came within the range of the front row of heavy armored cavalry. However, Tieniu was not in a hurry to order an attack, but waited for his opponent to slowly enter about a hundred meters away. , then he loudly ordered his men to attack!
Buzz!
Five thousand iron-armored water rhinoceros heavy armored cavalry, plus five thousand water-patterned horse heavy armored cavalry, the dark javelins in their hands shot out instantly. Whether it was the armored water rhino cavalry in the front row, or the water-patterned horse heavy armored cavalry in the back row, all of them were attacking with all their strength. Throw forward!
In this way, the javelins in the first row took off about 500 meters away, and the javelins in the back row hit the target 100 meters away, forming an accurate square array coverage!
Pu, Pu, Pu...
The javelins made of black black iron fell into the first square of Blue Moon like a burst of black raindrops. Tens of thousands of javelins instantly cleared the dense Blue Moon army formation in front, leaving only less than one-third of the people. Still able to stand firm!
On the wall of the Blue Moon Camp, countless generals looked at such a terrifying scene with dark faces. They finally experienced the scene mentioned in the battle report, "The Haotian Demonic Beast Legion relied on powerful long-range firepower to disperse one after another." The rain of black javelins caused countless casualties to our side! ’
If you weren't there to see this horrific scene, you really can't imagine how powerful the so-called powerful long-range firepower is!
After a wave of javelins rained down, Haotian's army did not continue to project javelins outwards, but allowed those who survived to rush over in scattered pieces. Soon, another wave of javelins behind the Blue Moon's 10,000-person phalanx A square formation is within range.
And within the Haotian Demonic Beast Legion, tens of thousands of black javelins shot out again, heading straight towards the enemy's next phalanx. Almost exactly the same, a large area of Blue Moon's second phalanx was cleared in an instant. !
At this time, the surviving soldiers of Blue Moon's first phalanx finally rushed to the Haotian Monster Legion formation, but what they faced was the first layer of densely packed iron-armored water rhinoceros heavy armored cavalry!
The cavalry on the armored water rhino looked at these poor Blue Moon Empire infantry soldiers with very disdain. The first row of armored water rhinoceros cavalry were holding their standard black black iron spears in their hands at this moment, pointing directly at those The soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire rushed over.
"Kill!"
The soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire were already frightened after seeing such a terrifying opponent, but they could only shout loudly to embolden themselves!
Amidst the clanging sound of gold and iron, the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire discovered in horror that their swords were in vain when they struck the armored water rhinoceros. The armor made of black black iron could kill them on the spot. The sword was so shaken that the blade curled off.
The only effect of their attacks was to anger those huge armored water rhinoceros. These big guys stood still, but their heads were bumping left and right, and their sharp horns kept beating the Blue Moon Empire soldiers one by one. Take flight.
The heavy armored cavalry on the back of the armored water rhinoceros were not idle either. Seeing that the spears in their hands had no effect at all, and their opponents had long been beaten away by the armored water rhinoceros, they simply took the borrowed crossbows in their hands and actually played with them. Take up the profession of archer!
If they were shooting from a long distance, these heavily armored knights would definitely not be able to do it, but if they were just dealing with these Blue Moon Empire soldiers who were close at hand, those crossbow arrows would be accurate with every shot, and almost none of them would miss!
There are also some archers in the Blue Moon army, and they have already started to fight back. Unfortunately, facing the heavily armored monster cavalry armed to the teeth, the bows and arrows in their hands are not even enough to scratch people's itch!
The armored water rhinoceros knights in the first row were holding their crossbows and constantly pulling the strings to shoot arrows. Each crossbow quiver contained thirty crossbow arrows. After shooting, they could just replace the crossbow quiver and continue shooting. Needless to say, that kind of efficiency!
Therefore, as soon as the Blue Moon Army enters the range of the javelin, it will first be shot down. Then even if it rushes closer, in addition to facing the terrifying horn of the armored water rhinoceros, it will also have to face a series of armored water rhinoceros cavalry. Crossbow arrows shot from the ground!
In the blink of an eye, the phalanx of five thousand people disappeared, all turning into corpses on the ground. From the first row of Haotian Monster Beast Army to an area of 500 meters outward, there was a thick layer of Blue Moon Empire soldiers lying on it. Corpse!
The many generals on the wall of Lanyue Village all looked surprisingly ugly. After suffering tens of thousands of injuries, not even a single hair of the Haotian Demonic Beast Legion was injured!
Even if there are many martial arts masters in the army, they can't move against an enemy covered in black iron. Not only did they not kill anyone when they finally showed up, they were also taken care of and were killed by dozens or twenty people. A surprisingly powerful crossbow shot.
What's more, there may be lightning net attacks from dozens or twenty armored water rhinoceros. After one after another, martial arts masters are either shot into a hornet's nest or electrocuted into roasted pigs, the martial arts cultivators of the Blue Moon Empire Masters no longer dare to be the ones who stand out!
As for the vast army of demon beasts, the front row soldiers were tired and retreated after firing their crossbows. The heavy armored cavalry behind them pushed forward. As a result, it became almost impossible to break through this line of defense. Something happened!
"General Ai! I think the facts in front of us are enough for our soldiers to withdraw. Don't let them die anymore!" After watching each phalanx of ten thousand people turn into dead bodies on the ground, Hu Gao finally spoke to persuade him. .
"Alas!" With a long sigh, Eliok didn't waste any time and shouted directly: "Send me the general's order! Send the gold to withdraw the troops!"
Dang, Dang, Dang...
Within the Blue Moon Camp, the beating of bronze bells soon sounded. After hearing the bells, the soldiers of the Blue Moon Empire who were rushing forward secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran back.
In this regard, the Haotian Monster Beast Legion was surprisingly generous. Some of them could have been shot on the spot, but they directly let them go and allowed these people to run back to the camp opposite.
In the middle of the Haotian monster army, a deputy general asked the first deputy general Tieniu in confusion: "General Tieniu! Why do you want to let go of the enemy troops who have already rushed into the range?!"
"Haha! I received an order from Marshal Du Long, who just asked us to contain the enemy. Since these people can't break out, what's the use of killing them? Keep them alive, so that they can be consumed faster. The food and grass in their camp! Once the food and grass are exhausted, they will have no choice but to surrender, otherwise they will starve to death!" Tieniu responded with an angry smile.
Judging from his honest and honest face, he actually said such meaningful words. His ability to become the first lieutenant has a lot to do with his bold and careful character.
At the beginning, General Xu Yin noticed this guy's steady personality in leading the army, so he suggested to Du Long that he should be the first deputy general. His talent was really not wasted!
"Pass this order to me, General!" Tieniu's face straightened at this moment, and he began to give an order in a decent manner: "Send people out to collect crossbows, javelins and other items, and also ask the other party's people to come out to collect the corpses!"
