Chapter 15: The First Victory
The ironclad tiger cavalry, the most powerful cavalry team of 10,000 people under the king of Pingbei, this cavalry team has always been maintained at about 10,000 people, and every soldier has to go through extremely strict and cruel training, and at least thousands of people die every year because of this training.
However, there were still many dynastic soldiers who participated in training in order to enter this army.
After passing the training, each soldier will be awarded a tiger cub, eat and sleep with it from an early age, participate in training together, cultivate tacit understanding and feelings between humans and tigers, and when the tiger cub grows up, there will be an assessment, after passing, you can become a candidate member of this army.
Whenever this army needs to replenish personnel, a part of the candidate members will be selected, re-evaluated, and only after passing can they become a member of this army.
It can be said that everyone in this army is the strongest selected from thousands of people, and they are all experienced and experienced elites, and each of them can take charge on their own.
This is a real ace army.
The roar of the earth gradually approached, and Dongfang Longyun also stood up straight, staring cautiously at the rear of the dynasty's army, which was filled with smoke and dust, and was rapidly approaching the torrent of the battlefield.
The fierce tigers under the crotch of the soldiers, as well as the heavy iron armor that flashed with a ghostly light on each horse, put great pressure on Eagle City.
At this time, that army was only more than ten miles away from here, but the ferocious power that destroyed everything still shocked Dongfang Longyun's heart.
Only such an army can truly dominate the continent for decades, be invincible, and conquer everything.
Dongfang Longyun thought in his heart, he really wanted to subdue this army, but it was impossible, and besides, Eagle City didn't have that much money to support such an army.
"The destruction of this army will surely make the dynasty feel heartache...... A great array of the sky, in exchange for an invincible iron army and several years of tranquility in the grassland, is worth it. ”
Dongfang Longyun muttered to himself, making Dongfang Lie and the rain curtain, Qingyun and others around him look shocked.
Obviously, they didn't expect that Dongfang Longyun's real purpose turned out to be this, to destroy this invincible iron army that was famous throughout the continent.
"Order, our army slowly retreated, led the enemy deeper, and entered the core formation......"
Dongfang Longyun gave an order, and the herald behind him immediately raised the flag.
On the battlefield, the battle between the two armies was still fierce, but those who were careful could see that the Eagle City army was slowly retreating to the rear.
This kind of action is not obvious, ordinary people seem to see, this is simply the normal change of the battlefield, both sides are fighting in a hurry, who cares about this?
The Eagle City army was slow to retreat at first, but as time went on, its speed became faster and faster, and by the time the Iron Tiger Cavalry arrived, the Eagle City army had retreated nearly a mile away.
However, when retreating, the Eagle City army was not chaotic at all, and there was no sign of defeat at all.
But this is only true military experts can see it, ordinary people, can only see that Eagle City is a little unable to hold on, and when they see the ironclad tiger riding coming, they dare not fight anymore and want to retreat.
"The Dynasty Ironclad Tiger Cavalry really deserves its reputation, forcing the originally arrogant Eagle City army to flee without a fight, and retreated a mile away before engaging in battle, General Shen has made great contributions!"
On a high platform in the back, the man in black sat next to Shen Wuji and said with a smile.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Wuji heard this, his face suddenly changed.
Suddenly grabbed his arm and shouted, "What did you say?
"Didn't you see it? Shen Wuji, don't forget your identity, and next time, don't blame me for being unkind to you. ”
The man in black was taken aback by Shen Wuji and said with some annoyance.
"A mile back, a mile back before the battle?"
Shen Wuji was nervous, babbling in his mouth.
Suddenly, Shen Wuji looked sharply at the Eagle City army, looking at the Eagle City army that was retreating in an orderly manner.
"It's not good, give the order, the ironclad tiger cavalry will retreat immediately, and all the cavalry will retreat immediately!"
"General, we are gaining momentum, and we are about to defeat the Eagle City army? Moreover, the Iron Armored Tiger Cavalry is directly under the Pingbei Palace, and even the little prince must consult the prince before they can use it, they may not listen to you......"
A herald next to him immediately left and went to give the order, while a middle-aged man dressed as a general whispered.
But before he could finish speaking, Shen Wuji immediately slapped him in the face.
"Immediately, give me the order, withdraw my troops!"
This sentence was almost shouted, which surprised everyone around him, and even the man in black was startled.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
However, at this moment, in the valley, several loud noises came, and the mountains shook for a while, making everyone present stand unsteadily, and a few fell directly to the ground.
And Shen Wuji was pale, his face was difficult to see, his body shook, if it wasn't for the general next to him to hold him, he was afraid that he would fall off the horse.
Shen Wuji looked at the battlefield with a frightened face.
I saw that at this time, the ironclad tiger cavalry had entered the central battlefield, that is, the center of the previous large array, and converged with the tens of thousands of cavalry brought by Shen Wuji.
This was a happy thing, with the support of the Iron Tiger Cavalry, he could easily eat all the tens of thousands of troops in Eagle City.
But now, Shen Wuji didn't want to watch that kind of scene, but he couldn't help it, he didn't dare to close his eyes, because he couldn't understand how Dongfang Longyun did all this.
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Almost simultaneously, nine loud bangs were heard.
I saw that at this time, in the entire valley, within a radius of several miles, around the area where the army was fighting, nine towering giant pillars rose from the ground, each pillar had a thickness of more than ten zhang.
The moment the nine giant pillars appeared, the entire valley suddenly became dim, and the Eagle City cavalry, who had been fighting with the dynasty, also quickly withdrew, and there was no time for the dynasty army to reflect, so the dynasty army was sealed in the middle of the nine giant pillars.
Then, I saw that the nine giant pillars suddenly shone brightly, and instantly turned into nine pillars of fire, and then the fire actually began to leave the giant pillar and spread to the center.
The nine giant pillars, each emitting eight divine fires, were connected to the flames of the other giant pillars, and quickly formed a huge pattern of nine corners.
Immediately after, the nine pillars of fire began to rotate, bringing a violent hot wind, and the earth trembled again as if there had been an earthquake, and along the pattern, sparks burst out, sparks burned the plains, and endless flames rushed towards the imperial army.
In just an instant, the area within a radius of several miles was filled with flames and turned into a sea of fire.
All of a sudden, the war horses neighed and the tigers roared, but the fire was already ruthless, how could it be ignored, countless war horses were full of flames, jumping around on the ground.
And the war tiger was even more ferocious by the fire, and some began to frantically attack Shen Wuji's soldiers and war horses, and even a few tigers actually began to attack their masters, overturning the owners on their backs, and rushing up to bite them.
Although these ironclad tiger cavalry soldiers were not torn to pieces by the tigers because of their heavy armor, after they landed, they had to be directly roasted by the fire, which made them even more uncomfortable.
The thick armor has become the biggest help for them to die in the flames faster.
burst
"Defeated, I see, it turns out, his goal has not been us from beginning to end, but, the Iron Tiger Cavalry, Dongfang Longyun, and the real person......!
Shen Wuji spurted out a mouthful of blood and muttered to himself.
"General...... How are you?"
Seeing this, the pro-soldier generals and others next to them changed their faces and exclaimed.
Shen Wuji ignored them and instead looked at the battlefield.
Faintly, he could "see" that General Yang and the three of them kept shouting: "Defend in formation?????? Don't panic?????? Those who disturb the morale of the army will be beheaded. ”
However, all these orders had little effect, and nothing was more terrible than a group of defeated soldiers who had lost their minds and were completely in fear.
I saw thousands of Dynasty soldiers retreating like crazy, and even cut their comrades who were blocking their escape in two, and they wanted to rush out of this sea of fire as soon as possible.
Not only because their bodies were burned by the flames, they were slowly losing their vitality and dying, but more importantly, they were afraid of the unknown, and they didn't know what vicious tricks Eagle City would have to deal with them next.
And those ironclad tiger cavalry even did not care about the life and death of these cavalry, and the sergeants who were still able to control the tigers under their crotch under the leadership of their leading generals retreated directly, and all the soldiers who stood in the way along the way were all cut down, and even the war horses were pounced on by the tigers to death and trampled into minced meat.
Battles that are completely beyond the common sense, unknown dangers, even if these soldiers are experienced in a hundred battles, but they are useless, this super-mundane arrangement is not something they can understand.
Many of the soldiers even thought that it was heaven punishing them for their bad decision to go north.
This battle has completely destroyed the will of these dynastic soldiers and those ironclad tiger cavalry, this is no longer a battle, but a slaughter.
However, it was all in vain.
"The Lost Heaven Array, not only is the Phantom Array powerful, but the Killing Array is even more earth-shattering, the trapped array is unpredictable, and it is too late to retreat now. ”
Dongfang Longyun looked indifferently at the dynastic army crying and shouting in the sea of fire, war, there is no need for mercy, only iron and blood.
When the Iron Tiger Cavalry retreated to the edge of the area surrounded by nine pillars of fire, they saw another glow on the pillar of fire, and a wall of fire several feet high instantly formed.
All the Tiger Cavalry soldiers who didn't have time to stop were directly burned into ashes the moment they hit the wall of fire, and the people behind them hurriedly grabbed the reins, not daring to take another step forward.
They didn't dare to move forward, but it didn't mean that the sea of fire would stop, and soon, in this area, there were living people, struggling in pain, running and grabbing, and a few soldiers didn't even have time to react, they were hugged by their comrades who became burning people, and they died together.
This scene is happening throughout the battlefield.
Shen Wuji looked weakly into the distance and vomited a mouthful of blood again.
At this moment, a loud shout came from afar,
"Shen Wuji, Lao Tzu is here to meet you!"
Not far away, I saw a young general with a beautiful appearance and a long knife in his hand, with thousands of black, gold and black armored cavalry, and rushed around the area of the nine pillars of fire with him, rushing straight to this side.
