The Feng Army on his body wasn't heavy armor, although it had turned into Peng Army, the armor was still made of leather, it was just that the color was red. Right now, he was being shot by Tianyuan Army's array of arrows, causing heavy casualties, causing large numbers of soldiers to fall to the ground. After a round of Arrow Rain s, many of the people in the camp became vacant, and many of them started shouting and screaming.
Just as the first, third, fifth, seventh and ninth squads of the Pingyuan Army finished a round of simultaneous shooting, Xiao Muqing immediately waved two more command flags, and this time it was the even numbered squads of the Pingyuan Army that began shooting. The second, fourth, sixth, eighth and tenth regiment all released a volley of arrows, and the arrows that filled the air once again shot towards the top of Central Army's head.
The Eagle Feather Arrow s were as dense as rain, and the number of Central Army warriors who were hit by the arrows had already reached an uncountable number. After the second round of arrow formation had finished, Xiao Muqing immediately waved three orders. This time, the whole army would shoot at the same time, and with the two hundred thousand members of the other legions shooting at the same time, the scale of the attack and the sharpness of the attack could be easily imagined.
The Arrow Rain that filled the sky sliced through the air, forming a howling hurricane.
In the open area in front of the two great formations, there was simply no place for the Central Army to dodge. All of them were exposed within the formation of arrows, and the number of soldiers in front who could stand after this round of arrows fell into the Central Army camp were few and far between. Layers upon layers of corpses covered the entire battlefield, and were soon covered by arrows.
Before Central Army had even rushed to the front of Tianyuan Army's camp, more than ten thousand soldiers had already been shot and killed by the arrows.
At this time, Zhong Wen couldn't even retreat if he wanted to, he could only bite the bullet and continue to charge forward. Even if he wanted to, he had to fill in the enemy's arrow formation, he could only fight his way through the Enemy's Camp and obtain a slim chance of survival.
Central Army were basically stepping on their comrades' corpses all the way to Tianyuan Army campsite. At this time, what they were going to face was Tianyuan Army, as well as Pingyuan Army with the strongest fighting strength.
Under Xiao Muqing's guidance, the Directly Subordinate Army was the first to go up. One legion after another advanced at high speed, with the halberds at the forefront and the soldiers at the rear, all holding long spears in their hands.
A frontal confrontation between two legions would not result in a chaotic battle. On the ancient battlefield, formations were crucial, and it directly affected the outcome of the battle. After all, a person's strength was limited, and only with the cooperation of an entire body could a great deal of power be displayed. Both sides engaged in an all-out melee, which only existed in movies and TV dramas.
As the two sides clashed, the battlefield turned into a close-combat battle. The soldiers in front kept stabbing their halberds and spears into the enemies' camp. They would either kill the enemies or be stabbed to death. As soon as the soldiers in front of them fell to the ground, the rest of the soldiers would immediately follow and fill the gap. The close combat between the two armies was truly a battle of attrition. No one dared to guarantee that they would be able to survive the next second.
When two people meet on a narrow path, the brave wins. At this time, the two sides compete more for willpower and the desire to win.
The soldiers were knocked over in rows. Many of them were not dead yet, but they were soon trampled into meat paste by the people charging from the front and back. In this large-scale battlefield, the lives of the soldiers were insignificant.
The Spirit Warrior were using all of their Psionic Power, but as their spirit energy was being consumed, they were getting closer and closer to death. Many of the Spirit Warrior s did not even have the chance to use their abilities, they were immediately blocked by the many halberds in front of them, after that, the pike wielding soldiers immediately followed up, stabbing all over his body, the Spirit Armor was able to hold up against the assassinations of one or ten pikes, but it could not withstand the fierce attacks of the hundreds of pikes, when the Spirit Armor on Spirit Warrior's body shattered, his body became a bee's nest, and in the end, he could not even find his completed corpse.
The large-scale battle of the legions was like a giant meat grinder, crushing all life on the battlefield.
The fighting strength of Central Army was indeed very strong, especially now that it was a war of attrition, the officers and soldiers couldn't help but use their full strength. They all knew in their hearts that if they could charge out of this battle, they would be able to keep their lives, and if they couldn't, they would die. Under the desperate attacks of the Central Army s, the Tianyuan Army began to lose out to the enemy, and the whole camp started to retreat.
Seeing that her Directly Subordinate Army was not able to hold on, Qiu Zhen quickly said to Xiao Muqing: "General Xiao, your Directly Subordinate Army is no longer sufficient, hurry up and let your Pingyuan Army go up!"
On the other hand, Xiao Muqing's face was filled with ease. He smiled at Qiu Zhen and said: "Master Qiu need not worry, the Directly Subordinate Army is master's side's army, they will not be so weak in one blow. Moreover, right now is the best opportunity to hone them!"
In fact, he knew very well, right now his Central Army was flourishing, no matter which army went up against it, the battle would be very difficult. The Pingyuan Army was his army, and with his treasures, he planned to use them to wear down his Central Army, and when both sides had exhausted most of their energy, he would send out his Pingyuan Army to pick at the loophole, and defeat his opponent in one go.
Although there were a lot of people, they were all formed not for long. Most of the members were ordinary citizens of the Feng Country who had come from all over the place to join the army, and even after a period of training, their overall fighting strength was not very strong.
How smart was Qiu Zhen, how could he not see through Xiao Muqing's intentions? He secretly frowned, on such an important battlefield, Xiao Muqing was still hiding his selfish motives, this was too selfishness. He said faintly, "General Xiao, the reason why I gave you the command was so that you could defend against your enemies with all your might. It's not like you are biased and want to protect the strength of your own army."
Hearing that, Xiao Muqing's face changed, but he endured it and did not take action, saying: "We need to use good steel on the blade! Pingyuan Army is not only my army, it is also the army that the Lord values the most, to preserve the strength of an elite army on the battlefield, to use it at the most crucial point, is that right?! "
With regards to the tactical battle strategy, Qiu Zhen was really unable to argue with him. He took a deep breath and changed the topic, then said meaningfully, "I only hope that General Xiao does not wear out Master's Directly Subordinate Army, and will not be able to explain it to Master in the future."
Xiao Muqing said confidently: "Master Qiu is too serious, no matter what, our Directly Subordinate Army is still brothers, I won't push all of our brothers into a pit of fire!"
"I hope so!"
"Thank you Master Qiu for your reminder!"
The two commanders of the armies argued back and forth on the battlefield. It was true that the two had different ideas, but it could also be seen from the other point of view that Tianyuan Army was something that could be easily dealt with.
Directly Subordinate Army had already been forced back into the camp, and Central Army's vanguard group had already been pushed into the camp. At this time, Xiao Muqing gave the order for Shauna and Branka's thirty thousand Bessar Heavy Armored Cavalry to secretly circle around the outside of the camp and surprise attack the Central Army's middle soldiers, cutting them in half from the waist.
Shauna was the princess of Beisa, naturally she would not personally go to battle. Branka led thirty thousand Heavy Armored Cavalry and quietly left the Tianyuan Army camp from the side, and after making a large circle, he rushed straight to the center of the Central Army.
At the moment, Zhong Wen was under the command of the central army, and his mother was slowly retreating. His side had already successfully pushed their way into the enemy camp, which caused his heart to drop by half, if the battle could continue on like this, it would not be impossible for them to break out of the encirclement.
Just as he was feeling excited, he suddenly felt the ground beneath his feet start to faintly tremble. Rumbling sounds gradually came from far away.
What was going on? Zhong Wen looked around nervously. Right now, the sky was still dark, and one could only see the dust from the east, as if there was an army rushing over. As for exactly which army it was and how many people there were, they could not be seen clearly.
Could it be that there was an enemy lurking outside the camp, attempting to intercept and kill their central army, and wanted to divide their camp into two? Zhong Wen had read a lot of military strategy books and was able to guess the other party's intentions before he could even get close to them. Understanding this, his face changed, and immediately shouted to the Generals beside him: "Set up the array! The enemy troops are coming from the side, get ready to fight! "
Following Zhong Wen's orders, the central troops of Central Army immediately took action, the soldiers all turned around and stood in front of the formation. One spear after another was taken out from the camp and pointed straight ahead, causing the entire camp to look like a giant hedgehog filled with thorns.
Very soon, everyone could clearly see the cavalry army charging towards them.
When they saw it clearly, the Central Army soldiers all revealed looks of surprise, including Zhong Wen. The riders on the horses were all wearing heavy helmets, and even their faces were protected by the helmets, leaving only their eyes exposed. Looking down, they could see that the horses were also covered in heavy chain armor.
Just from the clothes alone, it was estimated that they weighed at least a few hundred pounds. If an ordinary warhorse carried such a heavy load, in addition to the weight of the cavalry, it might not even be able to stand up, much less charge. The Central Army soldiers looked at the approaching Heavy Armored Cavalry, and forgot to be afraid for a moment, as only surprise remained in their eyes.
As the Heavy Armored Cavalry neared, the trembling of the ground became more and more obvious, and the rumbling muffled sound became louder and louder, as if an invisible giant hammer was pounding on everyone's heart.
The Generals s of the Central Army were the first to wake up from their shock, and all shouted loudly, "Fight! Prepare to fight! "
The Generals's roar pulled the soldiers' minds back to their bodies. Everyone braced themselves, but did not retreat, instead the camp slowly moved forward.
Boom!
The Heavy Armored Cavalry had finally made contact with the square formation of the Central Army, so do not underestimate the cavalry's slow running speed, but the impact was extremely strong. The moment the two sides came into contact, the Bertha Knights on horseback raised their spears, the spearheads pointing straight ahead, and then the inertia of their charge, caused the spears to ruthlessly pierce into their shields. With a burst of kacha kacha sounds, the shields wrapped in iron sheets were immediately penetrated by the spears, and even after piercing through the shields, they did not slow down at all and pierced through the soldiers holding the shields. The collisions of the horses were even more ferocious, and the shields could not stop the horses' stomps. A whole row of Central Army soldiers were knocked away by the horses along with their shields and rolled together with the people behind them.
