Chapter 243

The next day, the Tianyuan Army and the Besa Army had a full meal and then formed a square formation in the camp.

As the gate opened, neat infantry square formations marched out of the Tianyuan Army camp. The front formation had flags like a forest in the camp. In addition to the word "wind", there was also the word "plain". This was the Plain Army. After the Plain Army were the Sanshui Army and the Chifeng Army. After that was the direct army where Tang Yin was in charge.

The scale of the army of hundreds of thousands was so huge that they formed a camp in front of the two armies. Looking around, there were mountains and seas of people, endless and boundless. Every time the whole army took a step forward, the ground trembled. Its momentum was so great that it was like swallowing the world.

On the other side, the Ning Army learned that the main force of the Tianyuan Army had gone to battle, and they did not neglect it. Nearly 400,000 Ning soldiers rushed out of the Ning Army camp and stood their ground at a distance of one arrow from the Tianyuan Army.

At this time, the combined strength of the two armies exceeded more than 800,000. Each side occupied one side of the plain. It was overwhelming. Wherever you looked, you could see soldiers in armor, like an extremely huge carpet spread on the ground.

Tang Yin was in charge of the rear army. In addition to Xiao Na, he was also surrounded by counselors such as Qiu Zhen, Zhang Zhe, and Zong Yuan.

This was the first time Tang Yin had seen and experienced a battlefield of 800,000 people. It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Although his heart was in his throat, he did not show any expression on his smiling face. He still looked calm and contented. As the commander, his performance in front of the two armies would directly affect the mentality of his own army. If the commander could keep calm, the morale of the army would naturally stabilize.

Many of the generals of the Tianyuan Army were born in Pingyuan County. They had experienced many wars, but like Tang Yin, this was the first time they had encountered such a large-scale legion battle. Everyone was nervous and looked at Tang Yin involuntarily. Seeing Tang Yin sitting on his horse without any panic, the nervous mood of the generals gradually eased. They cheered up and commanded their own troops to prepare for the battle.

"Kill! Kill! Kill——"

The Ning army began to shout and kill in a neat manner, and the loud voices covered one wave after another. At the same time, the Ning army soldiers began to beat their shields rhythmically with their spears. The 400,000 people beat together, and the collision of steel and steel was earth-shaking and deafening, just like a giant hammer, hitting the hearts of every soldier of the Tianyuan army.

Before the battle started, the momentum of the Ning army had already risen rapidly.

Xiaona was the princess of Besa, and she was also well-informed. Even she was a little scared by the momentum of the Ning army at this time. Sitting on the horse, looking up, she could hardly see the Ning army soldiers in her eyes. All she could see was a huge steel mirror on the ground, which was the reflection of the steel armor on the Ning army.

Such a huge steel army, what kind of combat power can defeat it? She rode on the horse and subconsciously moved sideways to get closer to Tang Yin.

Xiao Na was like this, so you can imagine what others would do. On the battlefield of such a legion battle, no matter how powerful a person's spiritual martial arts are or how high his cultivation is, they all seem insignificant.

Tang Yin felt her nervousness, and then quietly looked at the others around him. The counselors and staff headed by Qiu Zhen all showed shock and ugly faces. Many of the soldiers below were even more afraid.

This can't go on. Before the battle, our morale is inferior to the enemy! Tang Yin took a deep breath, rode his horse forward two steps, then straightened his body, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Listen, all the children of the Feng Army, who killed our king?"

His voice was loud, and the echo on the empty plain lasted for a long time.

Most of the Tianyuan Army soldiers heard it, and they all clenched their fists and answered in unison: "It's the Ning people!"

"Who is stepping into my Dafeng land and slaughtering my Dafeng people?"

"It's the Ning people!"

"Who has brought great shame to our Feng country for thousands of years?"

"It's the Ning people!"

"After this battle, can the Ning people continue to stand on my Dafeng land?"

"No!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Pick up your weapons, kill all the Ning people, and wash away the shame of my Feng country with the blood of the Ning people! Kill!"

"Kill--"

In the question and answer between Tang Yin and the Tianyuan Army soldiers, the hatred in the hearts of the soldiers was completely aroused. There is nothing in the world that can make people more crazy than hatred, and nothing can make people forget everything including fear more than hatred. Hearing Tang Yin's killing cry, the Tianyuan Army shouted and roared.

Then, the 300,000-strong army of the Pingyuan Army, the Three Armies, and the Chifeng Army began to advance.

"Wind! Wind! Wind--"

The Ning army shouted to kill, the Tianyuan army shouted for wind, and the phalanxes of both sides began to move towards each other at the same time, and the battle between the two armies really began.

The overall camps of the two armies were approaching, and the horses of the messengers shuttled back and forth between the phalanxes of each corps, and from time to time conveyed the generals of their own commanders to the corps commanders.

"Prepare to shoot arrows--" "Prepare to shoot arrows--"

The corps commanders and centurions of the Ning army rode their war horses, running back and forth around their corps, and issued orders to shoot arrows. As the military orders were passed down one after another, the marching Ning army archers drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows pointed at the air.

The Tianyuan army on the other side also knew that the Ning army's arrow formation was coming, and while they set up their shields, they also drew their bows and arrows, ready to start shooting at each other.

"Shoot arrows--"

"Shoot arrows--"

The corps commanders of both sides issued the order to shoot arrows at almost the same time. There was a buzzing sound on the battlefield, the sound of bowstrings bouncing and arrows breaking through the wind, and two black clouds rose from the camps on both sides, flew into the air and drew a long parabola, and flew down to the top of the enemy camp at a high speed.

"Ah——"

For a while, the screams in both camps merged into one. During the march, no matter how tightly the shields were supported, there were still gaps. With such dense arrows, casualties were inevitable. As the eagle feathers whistled and swept past, the originally neat square formations of both sides became riddled with holes, and thousands of soldiers fell to the ground after being shot by arrows.

Even those corps commanders and centurions who were covered in spiritual armor, some of them were not spared. The spiritual armor on their bodies was shattered by the overwhelming arrows in just a moment, and their bodies were full of flying arrows, and they fell off their horses like hedgehogs. At this moment, anyone's life is like a firefly, which may flash away at any time. This is war.

When the distance between the front armies of both sides was less than 50 meters, changes occurred on the battlefield. The camp of the Pingyuan Army suddenly split to the left and right. Then, a cavalry team with steel armor and chain mail from people to horses rushed out and rushed straight to the front of the Ning Army.

The sudden arrival of this cavalry was beyond the expectations of the Ning Army, but the Ning Army was not afraid. Although the cavalry was powerful, they were still afraid of bows and arrows. The corps leaders of the Ning Army responded calmly, issued orders calmly, and commanded the soldiers of each corps to aim at the enemy cavalry and launch a volley.

Huh - tens of thousands of arrows and eagle feathers, as dense as raindrops, fell into the cavalry square like locusts. There was only a series of ding-dong crisp sounds in the ears. When the arrow formation passed, the 30,000 cavalry team was unscathed, but the ground was scattered with broken arrows.

"Ah?" Seeing this scene, not only were the Ning soldiers dumbfounded, but even the corps commanders and centurions were also shocked and speechless. Since they joined the army, they have participated in many battles, but they have never seen cavalry that is not afraid of arrows. Could it be that the opponent is a divine soldier descended to the earth?

The corps commanders ordered again, everyone shot arrows, no matter what, they must withstand the opponent's cavalry.

This time, the Ning army's arrow formation was more intense and fierce. Countless arrows had blocked the sun in the sky. The whistling sound of thousands of flying arrows merged into one, like the crying of gods and ghosts, making people far away from the arrow formation terrified.

This round of arrow shooting had an effect. Because the distance was too close and the impact of the flying arrows was too great, many knights were directly knocked off their horses by the overwhelming arrows, but even so, they only fell to the ground, their armor was not damaged at all, and the arrows did not hurt them at all.

Although many knights were shot down by the arrow formation, there were still more cavalry rushing to the front.

The corps commanders of the Ning Army could only give orders to their corps. The front row soldiers held up shields, and the soldiers behind held up halberds and spears to resist the impact of the enemy cavalry.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom—the heavily armored cavalry ignored the densely supported halberds and spears of the enemy, and rushed forward with wide eyes.

The impact of the galloping warhorse was simply not something that human power could withstand. The first row of Ning Army soldiers had their own comrades behind them to support them, and they used shields to withstand the impact in front. The sudden strong force directly crushed them. When the cavalry came into contact with the Ning Army camp, a blood mist rose from the front row of the Ning Army. It was all the blood spit out by the Ning soldiers holding up the shields.

Wow - after the earth-shaking crash, the front row of the Ning army camp was knocked back and overturned. Some people were directly killed by the shock, while others fell down only due to inertia or the involvement of other soldiers. However, before they could stand up, the dense cavalry square had trampled them alive.

In just a moment, the Ning army camp was filled with screams and wails. Countless people were trampled into meat paste or broken bones and tendons. Bloody corpses could be seen everywhere on the ground.

The chaos in the enemy's front army made Xiao Muqing, the commander of the Pingyuan army, immediately realize that the opportunity had come. He immediately ordered the whole army to drop shields and charge at full speed, following Besa's heavy armored cavalry to kill the Ning soldiers.

As his order was passed down, the Pingyuan soldiers all put down the shields held above their heads and rushed towards the Ning army camp with roars and shouts.

As the Pingyuan Army moved, the Sanshui Army and Chifeng Army on both wings also moved. These two armies, like a huge clamp, followed the charge of the Pingyuan Army and pinched the Ning Army's camp. At the same time, 10,000 light cavalry led by Tang Yin's shadow clone and Shangguan Yuanrang also quietly appeared on both sides of the battlefield, waiting for the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Ning Army's center.
