Chapter 961 There Is a Kind of Despair Called Powerlessness

"Close!"

Zhao Yun clenched the long spear in his hand, ready to stab it into the enemy's body at any time.

On the high platform not far away, Chen Gong stared at the cavalry of the Shu army who were getting closer, and quietly tore open the [Zhi Ge Talisman].

With a "swipe", the talisman turned into a bright white light, which was projected onto the battlefield, covering all 150,000 Shu troops in an instant. As if being immobilized, the Shu army charging at high speed stopped instantly.

Time stops.

Zhao Yun's eager and puzzled expression froze instantly, like a sculpture. Immediately afterwards, the white light retracted and swelled, and the 150,000 Shu army disappeared from the battlefield at once, and were collectively teleported back to Chengdu King City.

Within seven days, the Shu Han Dynasty could no longer send troops to support Jianxia City.

Seeing this "miraculous" scene, no matter whether it was the coalition army or the Longxiang army, their jaws dropped in shock.

"Oh my God, what the hell is going on here?"

"God's punishment, it's God's punishment!" A soldier muttered to himself and fell to his knees.

"This is an immortal technique, and there are immortals in Daxia to help out."

"What kind of immortal is it? It's clearly the demon god of hell, and the Longxiang army is a group of devils."

The expression of the speaker was full of fear.

Faced with this unexplainable phenomenon, soldiers with limited knowledge can only resort to ghosts and gods.

Uneasiness and fear spread along with the rumors, and the high morale fell to the bottom in an instant, and even the soldiers who charged ahead slowed down and became restrained.

The Daxia Dragon Army in front of us is really a group of devils, and they are fighting against the devils. This invisible pressure is enough to destroy the will of ordinary soldiers.

The entire battlefield was like being cast with a slow spell, instantly changing from haste to slow.

On the command tower, Lian Po saw the sudden disappearance of the Shu army, and with the supreme concentration of this veteran, he didn't feel pale, and muttered to himself: "I was fooled, all this is a conspiracy!"

The sudden disappearance of the Shu army was really weird. The Daxia cavalry did not charge, which was obviously expected. From a distance, Lian Po smelled a strong smell of conspiracy.

As Dichen's confidant, Lian Po had been in the wilderness for a while, so he naturally didn't believe in ghosts and gods. He guessed that this should be some special prop used by Daxia's side.

Now is not the time to pursue props, the key is what should the coalition forces do? Before Lian Po could react, Long Xiangjun, who had been silent all the time, moved first.

On the right wing, the 70,000 elite cavalry standing still led by Zhang Liao suddenly charged. The sudden "withdrawal" of the Shu army left a blank area in front of the army, and the cavalry could only gallop, splashing mud and water.

The front of the cavalry was unobstructed, and there was no enemy.

The Long Xiang Army, who had been hidden all this time, finally showed its edge, and no longer concealed its murderous intent. The blue sky was instantly covered with blood, and the murderous intent was boiling, which made people chill.

Under Zhang Liao's command, after leaving the range of the artillery, the cavalry troop circled a long arc, turned left in an orderly manner, and rushed into the central square of the coalition army, where the 60,000 troops of Swordsman City were located.

The 60,000 Swordsman City army has already launched a charge, and there are less than 20,000 people left behind.

The army of Jianxia City was already afraid of the Longxiang army, and suddenly encountered such a shocking change. Before they could recover, Zhang Liao's troops had already arrived viciously.

"kill!"

A horse lance was raised flatly, forming an invincible spear array, and stabbed towards the army of Swordsman City.

It is conceivable what kind of bloody scene will follow.

Rout!

The 20,000 Swordsman City army couldn't withstand a round of charge from Zhang Liao's troops, and was completely defeated.

There were countless dead and wounded, and the army was routed.

In less than half an hour, the Chinese army's position was forcibly trampled down by the Great Xia cavalry. Thousands of Swordsman City soldiers were trampled into the mud by the Great Xia cavalry. Flesh and mud were mixed together without distinction.

It's like purgatory.

The central army is guarded by two large armies, which is supposed to be the safest, but now it is the first to be defeated.

Seeing this, Zhang Liao stopped wasting time in the central army and continued to advance westward with his troops, brazenly charging into the enemy's right flank, which was the 150,000 reinforcement phalanx led by Lian Po.

As an experienced veteran, Lian Po only dispatched 80,000 troops in the first charge, leaving nearly half of the troops in the rear as a mobile force in his hands.

The tragedy is that the first wave of offensive troops sent by Lian Po was mainly cavalry, and the rear of the army was basically infantry. Facing the high-speed charge of Zhang Liao's troops, Lian Po's troops were in decline.

When setting up the formation, Lian Po was not unprepared for cavalry raids, but according to conventional thinking, Lian Po focused his defense on the west side and the rear, and deployed a full 10,000 cavalry.

How could Lian Po have thought that the enemy army would come directly from the Chinese army phalanx.

You know, there are still Shu troops on the flanks of the Chinese army. No matter how powerful the enemy cavalry is, they can't attack the east side of Lianpo's troops, but this happened.

The sudden disappearance of the Shu army immediately changed the battlefield pattern, making Lian Po's arrangement pale.

When Lian Po reacted, he wanted to set up defenses on the east side, but the Chinese army did not live up to it, and did not buy Lian Po any time at all. Before the defense chain was laid, Zhang Liao's troops had already arrived with the momentum of a big victory.

Zhang Liao's troops set off a monstrous massacre in the rear of the coalition forces, stirring up the entire rear of the coalition forces against Yingtian. Lian Po could only do his best, and tried his best to command the rear troops to fight with Zhang Liao's troops.

…………

Just when Zhang Liao's troops stirred up the situation behind the coalition forces, after a moment of astonishment, the high-speed charging frontline troops of the coalition forces finally fought with the Longxiang army according to inertia.

In this regard, the Longxiang Army has long been prepared.

Xiao Chaogui was in charge of the artillery position, Luo Shixin was in charge of the central army, and Lai Huer was in charge of the left wing. The three generals had a clear division of labor. Facing the charging coalition forces, they all bared their fangs.

Especially Lai Hu'er, who was suffocated in his heart, had been looking forward to this decisive battle for a long time, in order to wash away the shame, make meritorious deeds, win back the trust of the king, and win back the lost glory.

The sudden disappearance of 150,000 Shu troops reversed the balance of forces between the two sides. The coalition forces changed from 360,000 VS 220,000 to 210,000 VS 220,000.

Considering the morale and individual combat power of both sides, the coalition forces are already at a big disadvantage.

The allied forces rushing up at this time will definitely not be able to please Long Xiang's army, and the morale of the allied forces is low, and there are changes in the rear, and the soldiers are even more unwilling to fight.

With the coalition forces in such a bad state, how can they compete with the dragon army that is ready to go? !

Even the charge of the left-wing cavalry did not have the expected killing effect. The cavalry had suffered heavy losses under the double blow of artillery and crossbows. They could barely break through the first-level sword and shield positions of the Longxiang Army, and they were already weak in succession. , fell into the siege of the Longxiang army, and was slaughtered.

After blocking the first wave of the coalition forces' attack, the Longxiang army, led by three fierce generals, took the initiative to attack, and unexpectedly forced the coalition forces to retreat continuously.

Such a power is really shocking.

…………

Looking at the battlefield where people were fighting everywhere, Lian Po looked pained.

The poor performance of the front-line troops was like a sap, knocking Lian Po dizzy, and the soles of his feet were weak. At this time, it was really a huge torment for Lian Po.

Fight, you can't win.

Withdrawal, cannot withdraw.

The two armies have been fighting together across the board, there is me in you, and you in me.

Withdrawing troops rashly at this time is to be used as a living target for others. Not only will they not be able to escape, but they will also be bitten by the enemy and devoured bite by bite.

There is only one way before the coalition forces - to carry it to the end.

Lian Po is not yet in despair, as long as the coalition forces survive the day, when night comes and the two sides stop fighting temporarily, Lian Po is ready to lead his troops to evacuate and leave this sad place.

As long as they evacuated, even if they couldn't defend Swordsman City, they could still be teleported to Caiyun City to protect the last fruit.

The question is, can the coalition make it through the day?

Lian Po is still very confident about this point. The 150,000 troops who came to aid this time are by no means ordinary people.

Under Lian Po's dispatch, the entire army could barely support it.

With the strength of the two sides being similar, even with the strength of the Longxiang Army, it was impossible to completely defeat such an elite army in one day.

Fortunately, Da Xia still has a back move.

Just after noon, a rumbling sound suddenly came from outside the battlefield. Judging from its direction, it came from the west of the battlefield. Lian Po was overjoyed, thinking: "Could it be that the alliance sent reinforcements here again?"

Ge Yinfeng and Qingyang made it very clear that Daxia only had the Longxiang Army in Shu, and there were no other reinforcements. Even if there were, they should have come from the south, not the west.

When the troops showed their true colors, Lian Po's eyes froze.

The well-informed Lian Po saw at a glance that this was an army of the Qiang nationality. The strange thing was that this army did not display a military flag, so it was impossible to tell which side it belonged to.

"Could it be the reinforcements brought by Lord Feng Qingyang?"

Lian Po was not sure yet, but he was 70% sure in his heart. Lian Po knew that there was a Qiang County around Jianxia City, where a large number of Qiang people lived.

If it is said that Lord Feng Qingyang quietly formed a Qiang army, that is also true.

Thinking of this, Lian Po was very excited.

With the addition of this new force, Lian is quite confident that he will continue to fight this battle.

While being happy, Lian Po secretly blamed Lord Feng Qingyang in his heart. Since he has such a power in his hands, why didn't he take it out earlier.

Otherwise, the coalition forces would not be in this embarrassing situation.

It's just that when he thought of the intrigue between the lords, Lian Po stopped thinking about it. This is beyond his scope as a general, and he really shouldn't be involved in it.

Just when Lian Po was full of expectations, Zhang Liao, who was fighting in the rear, suddenly left the main force, rushed to the front of the Qiang army, pointed at the battlefield with his finger, and said something.

Slightly tilted, Zhang Liao led his troops back.

And that Qiang army had already been ordered to turn around brazenly, and Qi Qi charged towards the coalition army, the sharp butcher's knives were extremely dazzling under the sunlight.

Seeing this, Lian Po closed his eyes in pain and muttered to himself, "Allied forces, it's over!"

With Lian Po's ability, he is also powerless at this time.
