Chapter 979: Fear
Before the Great War, on the city walls.
Tan Kyushu asked Shen Leng: "The enemy army is ten times larger than mine, how can I fight this battle?" ”
Shen Leng replied at that time: "Wait until it gets dark." ”
Tan Kyushu laughed and nodded: "Yes, I can only wait for dark." ”
The walls of Daning Xijia City are tall and strong, even if the enemy army is ten times larger than mine, but if the Ning army can't hold out, it is not easy for the Western Regions Alliance to break through the Xijia City.
Compared with the combat power of the army in the Western Regions, the Ning army is more familiar with the chaos of the countries in the Western Regions.
Tan Kyushu asked Shen Leng again: "Is the night on our side?" ”
Shen Leng replied: "Ye will not stand on either side, will not favor us, fortunately, he will not stand on the side of the enemy." ”
Tan Kyushu smiled even more relieved: "That's enough." ”
The coalition forces of dozens of countries, such as the big one Tubo sent more than 100,000 troops this time, such as the Houque State sent 100,000 troops, the small one such as the large branch country sent only 12,000 troops, and the smaller one such as the Suyue State sent only 7,000 troops.
The king of Tubo thought that he initiated this alliance, so of course he wanted to be the leader of the alliance, but it was impossible for the black warriors and the rest of the people not to dominate, and the final result was actually a joke to hand over the position of the leader of the alliance to King Lou Ran, and they promised King Lou Ran that as long as he could bring a million troops, the leader of the alliance would be him.
What's even more ridiculous is that this alliance leader hasn't arrived yet......
If it is in the daytime, the completely different physical characteristics of the people of the Western Regions and the Central Plains allow them to easily distinguish between friend and foe, as long as the distance is close enough, they can see at a glance whether it is the people of the Western Regions or the Ning people, but the night blindfolded them, Shen Leng and Tan Kyushu thought together, only in the dark night can the countries of the Western Regions be in chaos.
Until now, perhaps the soldiers of the Later Que Kingdom have not remembered what kind of armor the soldiers of the Great Branch State wore and what kind of flag they flew, and similarly, the troops of the Great Branch State may not know where the Later Que State was stationed.
Dozens of alliances, the armies of each country have their own battalions, this kind of battle, if they take the initiative to win at the beginning, then with a large number of people, their victory may expand indefinitely, but once there is no advantage, it is easy to collapse.
It's not that Shen Leng talks about Kyushu despising the people of the Western Regions too much, it's not that they're too arrogant, and it's not that they're desperate, they don't think those people from the Western Regions are worth all their desperate bets.
During the day, Daning's scouts went out to inquire about the news, and they didn't know which country's scouts they met, because Daning's scouts were wearing the military uniforms of Houque State, and those people on the opposite side waved hello from a distance of about 100 zhang, and they didn't take a closer look at whether they were allies at all.
After hearing the news, Tan Kyushu made a decision, and he would take out the border troops in Tongyangtai City tonight.
Wilderness, night.
The Xijiang heavy armor that formed the phalanx stood there silently, in stark contrast to the people of the Western Regions who were roaring and shouting all around, one side shouting and howling, and the other side waiting in silence.
"Prepare for battle!"
Tan Kyushu pointed the Mo knife straight ahead, it was the army of the Western Regions that rushed over with black pressure.
Before the people of the Western Regions rushed over, the feather arrows came first, and the dense feather arrows fell from mid-air, and the feather arrows made a clanging sound when they hit the bodies of the heavy armored soldiers in the Western Frontier, and the sparks exploded one by one.
Being so impacted by the feather arrows, the heavy armor was still silent, they seemed to have turned into a statue, and the feather arrows hit them unconsciously, but in fact this was of course impossible, no matter how thick and strong the heavy armor was, it was impossible to be unscathed, some people were injured by the feather arrows, but they still didn't make any sound.
There are no gods in this world, and if they were, they would be shocked by the sight they saw when they looked down from the sky in this dark night.
The people of the Western Regions who gathered from all directions desperately released their arrows, and the feather arrows were like a horizontal rainstorm, and many feather arrows collided and landed in the middle of the air, and they did not shoot to the side of the heavy party formation at all, and around the phalanx, the feather arrows that hit the body rubbed out and became a spark, so spectacular.
"Knives!"
Talking about Kyushu was a loud drink.
After three rounds of feather arrows, the people from the Western Regions rushed over.
The army that surged like a frenzy crashed into the heavy side of the army like a great wave crashing against a boulder on the shore, but instead of splashing water, it was blood.
"Fall!"
There was another loud shout, and the heavily armored soldiers in the first row neatly slashed down the Mo knife that was raised high, and the soldiers from the Western Regions who rushed in front of him couldn't stop it at all, and the Mo knife fell, and the front row of Western Regions people all fell to the ground in an instant.
The people in the Western Regions in the back made up as if they hadn't seen anything, not that they weren't afraid, but that there were too many people crowded behind, and the people who rushed in front had no possibility of retreating.
In the first round of knives, the front of the phalanx was empty, and all of them were hacked to death.
The enemy in the back howled and rushed up, and the heavily armored soldiers in the first row had not yet raised their knives, and the Mo knives were too heavy...... But they don't have to lift it.
After the first knife fell, they didn't even look at whether the enemy in front of them was dead or not, they only needed to slash the Mo knife down, after the knife fell, the first row of heavy armor turned sideways backwards, and the second row of heavy armor strode up, so the second round of Mo knife fell, and another layer of half-cut corpses fell to the ground.
Their movements have been impeccable, their coordination is even more impeccable, after the second round of Mo knives fell, the heavy armor soldiers in this row retreated sideways as before, and the heavy armor that had just withdrawn to the second row strode up, and the third round of knives fell.
There is no need to play any tricks, let alone pay attention to any complexity, heavy armor combat has always been such a slash by knife.
After the three rounds of Mo knives fell, there were already many corpses on the periphery of the phalanx, which made people's scalps tingle.
It's not that no one has slashed their scimitars on heavily armored soldiers, but they can't cut through, the heavy chain mail is by no means an ordinary sword can be cut at will, the sound of the knife falling on the chain mail makes people's ears numb, and sparks will make people's eyes blurry, but they can't be cut.
The reason why even the feather arrow can't bring enough damage to the heavy armor is precisely because this chain mail is tough and strong, and the knife cutting on the chain mail is not like cutting on the ordinary iron armor, and the blade is impossible to cut the chain mail one ring after another, and it is not a layer of chain mail, and the feather arrow hits the chain mail, and the arrow cluster is difficult to shoot through, and it will be blocked by the fine rings of the chain mail one by one.
"Change!"
Tan Kyushu saw that the enemy in front of him did not dare to come up again because of fear, taking advantage of this moment of respite, the heavy armored soldiers of the second row immediately retreated with the order, the third row stepped to the second row position, and the second row of soldiers who retreated continued to retreat, and the fourth row became the position of the original third row.
The soldiers in the first row cut off the Mo knife again, as always, the knife fell and retreated sideways, not to see if the enemy was dead or not, and would not make up the knife, they retreated, the second row made up, and the first row that withdrew gradually changed to a more backward position to rest.
A sense of powerlessness, the people of the Western Regions are full of powerlessness.
At this moment, a cavalry roared in, and the speed did not decrease at all, and the armies of the Western Regions countries avoided it after seeing that cavalry coming, just because they saw the banners of the Tibetan country one by one under the light of the torches.
The Tubo people actually wanted to use light cavalry to attack the heavy armor of Ningguo? Don't the Tibetans know that heavy armor is the nemesis of light cavalry?
But they were wrong, the cavalry of more than 20,000 people did not rush to the heavy armor at all, and when they were about to collide together, the cavalry team suddenly turned around and killed the Western Regions army on the side, this sudden change frightened the Western Regions soldiers on the flank, and the wind-like light cavalry swept down a layer of corpses, and then left like the wind.
The presence of cavalry gave the heavily armored soldiers a respite, and they began to retreat slowly and orderly in an orderly manner, still holding the phalanx in a steady formation.
"It's back!"
Shen Leng shouted at Tan Jiuzhou, and Tan Jiuzhou laughed when he heard this: "Okay! ”
It's back!
No one went to meet the 3,000 border troops in Tongyangtai City, the 3,000 border army team that had already ignited three piles of wolf smoke and had a determined heart to die came out by itself, and no one went to meet them, because there was no need to meet them at all, taking advantage of the chaos outside the city, they were not besieged by many enemies after leaving the city, and quickly withdrew to the outside of La Liga.
"Kill back!"
Talk about Kyushu shouted.
The hoplites in the direction of La Liga City began to march forward in order, and each step seemed to be measured with a ruler, even if they were slashing and slashing and moving forward, the queue was still extremely neat.
King Houque saw that the heavy armor began to move, how could he be willing to let the Ning army go, constantly issued military orders, and constantly sent people to contact the armies of other countries to continue to pressur.
"Your Majesty!"
Someone quickly ran over from a distance: "There are a large number of Ning troops out of La Jia City and killed them from the flanks, and there are a large number of them." ”
"Impossible!"
King Houque's face changed instantly: "Where is the Ning army, where is there still an army." ”
"It's reinforcements!"
The voice of the person who reported the news trembled when he spoke: "It is not the banner of the border army, but the banner of the guards and soldiers, the soldiers of all provinces in the western Xinjiang of the Ning Army should have arrived, and it is not clear how many people there are in the black press, judging from the sound of war drums, the drums are too dense, and the number should be no less than 100,000." ”
The face of the queen of the queen is even more difficult to look at, 100,000 soldiers? That is to say, at least two guards, or even three guards, arrived, and the army of the king of Tubo did not know what was happening, and tens of thousands of Tubo cavalry actually retreated.
"Retreat!"
King Houque knew that the general trend had gone, and if he was caught by more than 100,000 Daning soldiers, with heavy armor on one side and guards on the other, his army would be killed by the fierce sandwich.
As the armies of the Houque Kingdom retreated first, the armies of other countries also began to withdraw.
Shen Leng led the cavalry to constantly harass in a roundabout way, completely with the momentum that my reinforcements are coming, so I will drive you all away, the more this is the case, the more the armies of the Western Regions countries dare not fight, the battlefield has changed rapidly, and the Western Regions coalition forces that have come in waves have retreated in waves.
Outside the city of La Liga, tens of thousands of people held the battle flag made in advance and waved forward, the front was indeed the soldiers, but it was just a few troops left in the city of La Liga, the soldiers from all over the city were far away from the city of La Liga, where were there so many soldiers, behind were the common people, merchants, farmers, Taoists, they held the battle flag of Daning and waved, and in the team, dozens of war drums were all beating.
On a drum car, Xiao Zhang Zhenren held a drumstick in each hand with his cuffs, gritted his teeth, blushed, and beat the war drums one by one.
The people of the Western Regions retreated.
They eventually lost to their fears.
