Chapter 298: Pengcheng Blitz (2)
About to dawn, Yuan Shu's army in the south camp, Chen Lan's camp, a group of soldiers was about to leave the camp to replace the soldiers who patrolled last night, but the scene in front of them made them wake up in an instant!
In the darkness that was about to disappear, the overwhelming cavalry appeared, and Joan of Arc held high the red dragon flag, hunting in the morning wind!
"Enemy attack!"
The arrow rain poured down, and the patrolling soldiers were covered by the dense arrow rain, and the whole army was wiped out!
The Women's Army, as mounted infantry, dismounted immediately after approaching Chen Lan's camp, cleared the trenches and rejected the horses, so as to provide conditions for the continuous stream of cavalry from the rear to break into Chen Lan's camp!
"kill!"
A thousand high-level heavy cavalrymen from the cavalry camp burst into Chen Lan's camp with sharp lances and spears!
The horses in full armor galloped, and their iron hooves broke through the enemy camp!
Many soldiers who were still sleeping were ruthlessly trampled by heavy cavalry!
The cavalry in the cavalry battalion commanded by Chu Tian was extremely terrifying, like a torrent of steel rolling over. The soldiers patrolling in the battalion and the soldiers who hurriedly came out of the tent to meet them were met by a group of monsters with people and armor. The weight of this group of monsters is more than half a ton. Once trampled by them, it is enough to kill!
The sharp horse lance can easily pierce the armor of ordinary soldiers without any accident!
The Tunqi battalion opened the way and tore a hole, and a steady stream of servant cavalrymen, Changshui battalion and Yue cavalry cavalrymen from the rear entered the Chenlan camp.
The full-armored knight with only one crack exposed, holding the knight's sword, slashed and slashed in the camp.
This kind of armies never seen before in the Eastern Han Dynasty exacerbated Yuan Shu's soldiers' panic.
"Monster, it's a monster!"
Many soldiers of Yuan Shu's army were afraid of knights in full armor.
The heavy cavalry in the cavalry battalion still showed a face, and the knight in full armor was like an airtight iron can.
Because in "Lord", the language difference is not a problem, the knight in full armor can't help but feel depressed when he hears the other party call him a monster. Isn't it just that the armor looks a little weird...
"Retreat... retreat!"
When Yuan Shu's subordinate Chen Lan came out of the tent, the camp was already in chaos.
Unable to regroup, Chen Lan chose to retreat.
The effect of Chutian's bonus to the cavalry troops is too powerful. In front of the Tunqi Camp, Changshui Camp, and Yueqi Camp, the unprepared Chen Lan Corps has only the fate of being slaughtered!
Thousands of soldiers were killed by the condescending cavalry, and the camp was littered with corpses!
After the Women's Army destroyed the fortifications of Chen Lan's army, they went to attack the camp of Lei Bo's army, spreading the war to all camps of Yuan Shu's forces!
"Do not!"
Chen Lan was fleeing, and found that a female warrior in silver armor was chasing her from behind and stabbing her with a knight's sword.
Chen Lan tried her best to avoid the knight's sword, but she was still pierced by Joan's long sword!
The high-speed charge of the war horse makes the knight sword with armor-piercing ability more penetrating, and it can easily penetrate into Chen Lan's body!
Another one of Yuan Shu's few generals was defeated and killed!
Joan of Arc couldn't judge Chen Lan's identity,
It is only regarded as an officer of Yuan Shu, and it is fine to kill him.
Chen Lan fell to the ground, and the Chen Lan army, which had lost its generals, collapsed.
"Everyone follows!!"
After easily breaking through the camp of Chen Lan's army, Chu Tian turned to attack the Leibo army without stopping.
The essence of blitzkrieg is not how many enemies are annihilated, but the constant defeat of the enemy, so that the opponent is unable to organize a counterattack!
After the Chen Lan Corps collapsed, it would take a lot of time to get back together again. In other words, Chen Lan's army has lost its combat effectiveness, and Chutian can let go of his hands and feet to attack other camps!
The cavalry led by Chutian was extremely capable of breaking the battalion. After quickly destroying the Chen Lan Corps, the Women's Army had basically cleared the obstacles of the Leibo Corps camp, and Chutian's cavalry was able to drive straight in!
With iron hoofs and neighing horses, they once again stepped through the camp of the Leibo Legion!
With Chen Lan's army blocking, Lei Bo's reaction time was longer, he chose to escape the camp with his personal soldiers.
He looked back at the smashed camp, with lingering fears. This cavalry was like a thunderbolt, galloping like lightning, and it was simply not something that could be stopped by manpower.
The southern camp of Chen Lan and Lei Bo had about 30,000 horses. Thousands of people were killed by Chutian's cavalry, and more than 20,000 soldiers were defeated and fled.
"Attack north!"
Chu Tian was in a tragic battlefield. Although he did not kill the enemy personally, his consciousness was affected by the surrounding fighting. He knew that the cavalry he led only needed to attack, attack, and attack again!
The raiding force of 13,000 people was affected by the blood of the main general and the battlefield, and became a division of tigers and wolves!
Although their number is small, they are the hunters, and Yuan Shu's army is the prey!
Yuan Shu's middle battalion and siege battalion had the largest number of people. When they heard the screams of killing from the Nanying battalion, they understood that the Nanying battalion had been attacked and hurriedly prepared for battle.
"Could it be that Yang Wudi is here again?!"
Yuan Shu came out of the tent, holding a sword and a shield. Since he was attacked by Yang Ye many times, Yuan Shu was a soldier, and his saber and shield never left his body. When he was attacked at this time, he could react in time.
Chang Shi Yang Hong and general Ji Ling came to see Yuan Shu: "It was Nanying who was attacked."
"How could it be Nanying? Could it be that Yang Wudi bypassed Beiying and Zhongying and attacked Nanying directly?"
Yuan Shu was afraid of Yang Ye, and now the enemy he thought of was Yang Ye: "Ji Ling, you lead 20,000 soldiers to rescue Nanying, and you must drive away Yang Wudi!"
Yuan Shu believed that Ji Ling could also block Yang Ye with his superior strength.
Even if Yang Ye was more powerful than Ji Ling, there were 30,000 soldiers in Nanying, plus the 20,000 people Ji Ling went to help, so the 10,000 cavalry would not be able to compete with the 50,000 soldiers.
"Take orders!"
Ji Ling wanted to transfer 20,000 soldiers, but now Yuan Shu's army, which was being raided, was panicking.
"It's too late, my lord, it's better to return to Shouchun and watch the general situation of the world..."
In the camp of the Jiujiang County Legion, Guo Jia could already see the cavalry rushing towards the Central Army.
According to his judgment... Yuan Shu's army, whose generals are still gathering soldiers, will have more than half of their casualties!
The prefect of Jiujiang was not reconciled: "We still have troops and horses, and we can resist!"
"But... that cavalry has arrived!"
Chu Tian led the cavalry to drive away the defeated soldiers of the southern camp and stormed Yuan Shu's middle camp!
He couldn't tell which camp Yuan Shu was in, he only knew how to attack!
More than 20,000 defeated soldiers broke through the obstacles set up by Yuan Shu's army, and the corpses filled the trenches, allowing Chutian's cavalry to move unimpeded!
The heavy cavalry of the cavalry battalion galloped past, breaking another battalion!
The alien lord of this camp was trapped in a siege, unable to escape, and was trampled to death by the heavy cavalry of the camp.
Since he has chosen the path of hegemony, he must bear the price of defeat.
Even Chutian, before every battle, must prepare for death in battle, and even consider Xia Xia Liang as his heir if there are no heirs.
One battalion was defeated by the Tun Cavalry Battalion, one battalion was defeated by the Yueqi Battalion, one battalion was defeated by the Changshui Battalion, and two battalions were defeated by the servant cavalry!
Not to be outdone, the Women's Army formed a phalanx to attack the enemy camp on foot, and even broke several battalions one after another!
Yuan Shu's middle battalion was completely too late to organize a defense. Although they had been given time to prepare when the southern battalion was attacked, the mobilization of 100,000 people was extremely clumsy, and many camps were destroyed!
The brazier toppled, and the tents in the camp were set alight, and the tents were covered in raging fire, and black smoke billowed!
The soldiers were in chaos everywhere, even if Chu Tian ordered the cavalry to stop hacking and killing the enemy, it is estimated that the enemy troops would trample on each other, and thousands of people would be killed or injured.
Chutian's cavalry intensified the chaos in Yuan Shu's middle camp.
It is rare for Chutian to bend a bow and shoot an arrow to kill a soldier of Yuan Shu.
In order to express his loyalty, Zheng Zhilong followed Chutian with a shield.
Lu Su drew out his sword and wanted to go forward to kill the enemy, but was stopped by Chu Tian.
Chutian allowed Lu Su to take risks, at most the same as him, sending dark arrows far away, not allowing him to charge into battle.
Lu Su's impulse is also understandable.
The soldiers of Yuan Shu's army were everywhere in front of them, and they fell like mustards under Chu Tian's butcher's knife.
He had never seen a one-sided battlefield.
It is not so much a war as a one-sided massacre.
Yuan Shu's army, which was attacked by the Chutian cavalry, revealed the essence of being strong outside and doing things in the middle, and was in chaos.
Chutian only needs to rush the defeated soldiers to attack one camp after another, and then he can destroy all the camps!
"Yuan Gonggong is just like that!"
Li Xiuning, as a hero in women's middle school, holds a longbow and shoots through an enemy soldier, unstoppable.
Under her encouragement, the morale of the Women's Army and the allied troops around the Women's Army soared, their combat power returned to their peak, and they swooped on Yuan Shu!
Joan of Arc slashed with a knight's sword, blood splattering her armor.
As an alien general who was captured by Chutian, Chutian didn't pay much attention to her life and death at present, so she was relieved to let her lead the cavalry charge.
Under her leadership, the cavalry of the servant army has a higher fighting spirit, and they are like crazy, advancing forward regardless of casualties!
"For Fran..."
Joan of Arc originally planned to shout slogans to motivate the soldiers, but after thinking about it, it seems that this is not France, and most of the cavalry she leads are not French.
"For the Lord and glory, dye the red flag with the blood of the enemy!"
Joan of Arc had to change her mind.
Soon the cavalry had broken down half of Yuan Shu's army's mid-battalion!
The only ones with combat power are the soldiers and horses brought by the Jiujiang prefect from Shouchun.
The crossbowmen of the Jiujiang Corps used crossbows to kill a large number of Changshui cavalrymen who attacked their camp.
According to Chutian's request, Xia Xia Liang just assisted Li Xiuning in commanding the Women's Army at the rear, and Li Xiuning left a thousand women's soldiers to directly command Xia Xia Liang.
She noticed that the resistance of the Jiujiang Legion was threatening, so she ordered the Thousand Detachment Army to drive a large number of Yuan Shu's defeated troops to the Jiujiang Legion's camp.
The Jiujiang Legion fired their bows and crossbows, but it was Yuan Shu's soldiers who were killed instead.
Xia Xia Liang's defeated troops attracted the attention of the Jiujiang Army Corps, while Li Xiuning cooperated with Xia Liang and led the 4,000 Women's Army to the rear of the Jiujiang Army Corps. The Jiujiang Legion is broken!
The prefect of Jiujiang had to give up his defense and began to withdraw from the battlefield.
Chen Qingzhi and Hou Jing were transferred to deal with Yang Ye. The Jiujiang Legion lacked core generals. The Jiujiang Prefect, who did not expect to be raided, suffered a big loss and was defeated by the legion that was smaller than him.
When the Women's Army and Changshui Battalion defeated the Jiujiang Corps, the Tun Cavalry Battalion, the Yue Cavalry Battalion and the Servant Army cavalry took Yuan Shu directly!
Chu Tian hated Yuan Shu, so Chu Tian did not intend to capture him alive.
As for the influence of Yuan Shu who killed the fourth and third princes, Chu Tian did not consider it.
Isn't that the third prince of the fourth generation? Chutian is also the background of the fourth generation and the third prince.
"Xuzhou Mu and Anton General Chu Zimou are here. Those who capture Runan Yuan Gonggong alive will be rewarded with a reward of 1,000 yuan, and those who kill Yuan Gonggong will be rewarded with a reward of 3,000 taels!"
In view of the large number of soldiers around Yuan Shu, in order to break Yuan Shu's morale, Chu Tian ordered his cavalry to shout.
Yuan Shu heard the earth-shattering shouts, as if he was besieged from all sides, his heart and gallbladder were torn apart.
There is only one thousand taels of gold to capture him alive, but three thousand taels of gold to kill him. Chu Zimou wanted him to die!
"Master, let the last commander kill Chu Zimou!"
Ji Ling took the initiative to fight!
Everyone here is waiting, only Ji Ling's force is acceptable.
"The general trend is over, Chu Zimou is the champion of the three armies, unstoppable, and cannot be an enemy. We should withdraw as soon as possible, and fight again in the future..."
Yuan Shu was frightened by the reputation of Xuzhou's Mu Chu Zimou, and he was fighting with both sides and wanted to leave first.
After Yang Wudi, this is the second character that makes Yuan Shu talk about a tiger!
Who would have thought that Xuzhou Mu Chu Zimou was also a ferocious cavalry commander?
"The enemy cavalry is less than five hundred paces!"
When Yuan Shu was about to retreat, he found that more than a dozen full-armor knights led by Joan of Arc had already charged to a distance of only 500 paces!
The surrounding guards faced the full-body armored knights, and ordinary swords were difficult to break, plus they had never seen such iron canned cavalry, and they all collapsed.
Joan of Arc attacked frontally, like a broken bamboo!
"Get out!"
Yuan Shu was frightened and fled on horseback with the help of Ji Ling and other generals.
Civil servants including Yang Hong are even more concerned about the army, and one can escape one by one.
"Yueqiying detours to intercept, don't let Yuan Shu go!"
With Yuan Shu's central camp broken, Chu Tian's appetite is even greater. He wants to directly capture or kill Yuan Shu, so that Yuan Shu's forces will collapse!
The few hundred cavalry remaining in the Yueqi battalion made a detour to intercept the fleeing Yuan Shu!
Yuan Shu's soul was scattered, but fortunately, Ji Ling and other generals fought hard to stop the Yueqi Camp, and Yuan Shu was not killed.
Zheng Zhilong was sent by Chu Tian to hunt down Yuan Shu, and his bow skills were second- or third-rate, and he shot Yuan Shu's horse with one arrow.
Yuan Shu was caught off guard and fell off his horse, rolling around on the ground for a few times, his head was bleeding and his head was ashes.
He struggled to get up from the ground, dizzy, and Zheng Zhilong and Yueqiying were still fighting, and he was terrified. If he is overtaken by Yueqiying, he will die!
He hurriedly looked around and saw a donkey driver beside him fleeing for his life in a donkey cart carrying grain.
"Get off!"
Yuan Shu kicked the donkey off with one foot and took the reins himself.
"drive!"
Facts have proved that human potential in the face of death is infinite. Yuan Shu drove the donkey cart at a gallop.
Zheng Zhilong was stunned. He had planned to hunt down Yuan Shu, but Ji Ling had already set his sights on him, so he had to fight Ji Ling with a sword and a shield and let Yuan Shu go.
