Chapter 391

Zhan Wudi yelled and cursed in front of the two armies. Seeing that no one from Feng's army dared to come out to fight, the morale of Ning's army increased greatly, and shouts and roars came one after another. Seeing the morale of his own soldiers rising, Zhan Wushuang immediately asked people to beat the war drums and prepare for the entire army to attack.

Boom, boom, boom - as the war drums sounded, Ning Jun knew that he was about to take the initiative to attack the enemy. Ning's soldiers stopped shouting in confusion and formed a neat square formation. The soldiers held a shield in one hand and a spear in the other. They hit the shield rhythmically with the tip of the spear, making bursts of piercing roars. People matched the rhythm of hitting the shield and marched in unison. He shouted: "Kill, kill, kill--"

Although this Ning army was defeated by the ambushes of Wu Guang and Zhan Hu, and only the remaining soldiers were defeated, the momentum they unleashed at this time was still shocking to the soul. Even Ziying on the opposite side could not help but frown. But now he can't retreat, he can only fight. Generals Wu Guang and Zhan Hu defeated the enemy with only 50,000 soldiers. He had 100,000 men, how could he lose the prestige of the Feng Army?

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and shouted to the heralds on his left and right: "Line up! Fight!"

As Ziying's order continued to be conveyed, the war drums of the Sky Eagle Army beat louder. The soldiers, like the Ning Army, beat their shields with their weapons while shouting: "Wind, wind, wind——"

After a short time, the phalanxes of both armies began to move forward. Ziying and Zhan Wushuang made the same choice, using the fish scale formation.

The characteristic of the fish scale formation is that the entire army is concentrated in the center and divided into several small square formations. From a distance, it looks like fish scales, layer after layer. This formation adopts a center breakthrough strategy. If the entire army is compared to a palm, , the fish scale formation is like a clenched fist, concentrating the entire army's strength to attack the enemy's central vitals. Of course, the shortcomings and advantages of the Fish Scale Formation are equally prominent. The key point is at the rear of the formation. Once the rear of the formation is attacked during a battle, there will be a risk of the entire army being annihilated.

Ziying's use of the fish scale formation was a gamble that Fengcheng behind him would not dare to send troops to attack his own army, while Zhan Wushuang's use of the fish scale formation was a helpless move. Now there are only tens of thousands of Ning's troops left. If he did not use the fish scale formation, With such a concentrated formation, there is no possibility of breaking through the enemy's army.

This is a head-on confrontation between legions, and it is also a tit-for-tat contest.

The two armies were in the same formation and moved forward together. The assault phalanx of both sides was in front, followed by all archers, and the general was located at the rear of the formation. As the distance between the two sides got closer and closer, the atmosphere on the battlefield became more and more tense. The air seemed to be condensed. No one spoke or shouted anymore. There were only the sounds of orders and uniform shouts on the battlefield. Footsteps.

At this time, everyone on both sides of the enemy had their hearts in their throats. In such a large-scale legion battle, no one who dared to protect themselves would definitely come off the battlefield alive. After both sides entered the shooting range, the corps commanders on both sides shouted in unison: "Get ready to fire arrows!"

Wow - the advancing speed of the two armies continued unabated, but the soldiers began to take action. The soldiers in the even-numbered queues handed over their weapons and shields to their colleagues in the odd-numbered rows next to them, then took off their long bows and marched forward. He twisted his bow and nocked an arrow, pointing the tip of the arrow into the air ahead.

"Fire the arrow——"

"Fire the arrow——"

The orders of both sides were surprisingly consistent, and the commander's voice of firing arrows sounded at the same time.

Buzz!

Two dense masses of black mist rose up from the camps of Feng Jun and Ning Jun at the same time. Countless eagle feathers combined together seemed to be a long black cloth, blocking the blue sky. The arrows from both sides intersected and collided in the air, and the sound of clicking was endless. Some of the arrows collided and broke, but more arrows passed through the opponent's arrow screen and fell into the enemy's camp.

The arrows were getting closer and closer, and the dull buzzing sound gradually turned into a harsh whistling sound.

In the blink of an eye, the arrow fell into the camps of the two armies. For a moment, the sound of iron weapons breaking armor was heard everywhere, and at the same time, screams came from the two armies.

In the square formation, the soldiers advanced without fear, but from time to time someone in the crowd was hit by flying arrows and fell to the ground. At this time, no matter who it was, falling would mean death. For the sake of the overall formation, The soldiers behind were unable to avoid their fallen comrades and had no choice but to step on them. At this time, the soldiers had completely turned into emotionless war machines, and there was only one belief left in their minds, push, push. Push forward.

Under the large-scale arrow formations on both sides, there is no difference between spiritual cultivators and ordinary soldiers. The only difference is that spiritual cultivators can use their spiritual armor to resist a few more arrows. That's it. If they are unfortunate enough to be in the opponent's formation, In the center, no matter how high the cultivation level is, they will be shot into hedgehogs by thousands and thousands of arrows. Even a powerful spiritual cultivator like Zhan Wudi does not dare to be in front of the formation. Like Zhan Wushuang, he retreats to his own side. behind the formation to command the overall situation.

At this time, human life seems insignificant, and living lives may turn into fragmented corpses in an instant. This is war.

As the distance between the two armies gradually approached, the arrow arrays on both sides gradually weakened, and what followed was a more bloody close-quarters combat.

The soldiers in the assault phalanx on both sides had already raised their halberds and stared at the enemy opposite, looking for their opponents.

"kill--"

I don't know if it was the assault phalanx over there that shouted first. The soldiers of both armies held their halberds in both hands and ran forward in unison. This is a direct arrow-to-arrow collision. At the moment when soldiers from both sides came into contact, a loud rumbling sound erupted in the field. Soldier Feng pierced the enemy's throat with the halberd in his hand, and the enemy's halberd also pierced their chests.

The soldiers on both sides were two meters apart, but this two-meter distance was filled with dense halberds. In just a moment, hundreds of soldiers on both sides fell to the ground at the same time. From a distance, both sides fell to the ground. Some people were directly stabbed to death by the opponent's halberds, and some were injured and fell to the ground. Soon they struggled to stand up again, drew back the halberds, and continued to stab the enemy soldiers.

At this time, the arrow formations of both sides had completely stopped, and the battle of the assault phalanx was fully launched.

The soldiers in front were no longer falling down one by one, but in rows. When one side stabbed a row of soldiers on the other side, before retracting the halberds, they would be stabbed by the soldiers who filled in on the other side, and then one side would fill in another row and stab the enemy soldiers. In this way, the corpses on the battlefield were stacked up, layer after layer, and the blood gathered into a small river, flowing far away.

The battlefield has become a complete meat grinder, crushing the lives of the soldiers on both sides.

The assault phalanx is the arrowhead of the entire army, concentrating the most powerful soldiers in the entire army. However, after a major battle, regardless of the outcome, there are often only a few people left in the assault phalanx, and most of them are lost in front of the two armies.

As the number of soldiers in the assault phalanx decreases, the main force of the central army gradually joins the battle group. This is the real competition of the overall strength of both sides.

The Feng Army has a large number of people, and the Sky Eagle Army was originally evolved from the Peng Army. It is indeed a mob, but after resting for several months in Yancheng, it has received sufficient training time. Now its combat effectiveness is no longer what it used to be. In addition, the Sky Eagle Army has absorbed many veterans from the Sanshui Army, Chifeng Army, and the Direct Army, and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.

Although the Ning army had few men and was not good at close combat, they were now in a desperate situation and could only move forward, unable to retreat. It was a desperate battle. They had to fight to the death to break through the blockade of the Feng army, or they would be buried in a foreign land and never think of returning to their motherland. In this situation, there was no one in the Ning army who was afraid of death. There were only those who fought bravely, and with their steel armor, they burst out with extremely strong combat power.

The battle between the two sides could no longer be described as tragic and bloody. It was completely a pile of people, using human flesh and blood to blunt and smooth the opponent's weapons.

The Ning army's assault phalanx was the first to declare the annihilation of the army. A full 10,000 Ning soldiers, no one survived in the end, and it was even difficult to find a complete corpse.

The Feng army's assault phalanx had 20,000 people. While completely annihilating the Ning army's assault phalanx, they also lost more than 10,000 people. There was no time to rest. Next, they had to deal with the Ning army's main phalanx with a larger number of people. The enemies in front seemed endless to kill and cut off. As soon as one row fell, more people would fill in. In less than half an hour, the assault phalanx on the Feng Army side also collapsed. If Ziying had not ordered to withdraw the assault phalanx in front in time, the remaining 3,000 people would probably not survive.

As all the assault phalanxes on one side of both sides were killed and most of the other side evacuated the battlefield, the central armies on both sides also launched a full-scale confrontation.

At this time, the weapons of the soldiers on the battlefield were no longer long halberds. Spears, long spears, broadswords, swords, and sabers, all weapons that could kill people were used. The soldiers in front of both sides held their shields and pressed the enemy tightly. At the same time, they raised their swords above their heads and chopped and stabbed the enemy.

In such a crowded battle, there was no room to dodge, and there was no chance to block the opponent's attack. If you don't want to be chopped down and stabbed to death by the opponent, you have to kill the opponent first. The soldiers on both sides used all their strength to desperately wave their weapons. The sound of iron hitting shields continued, and the sound of broken armor and broken bones came one after another.

Many soldiers who had died in the battle could not even fall down. Their bodies were piled up by the enemy and our side, becoming human shields for the two sides. On the battlefield, many soldiers with shattered heads were still standing...

This big fight has been going on for an unknown number of hours, from dawn to sunset. The casualties on both sides cannot be counted, but the corpses have covered the battlefield, and more than one layer. The yellow soil on the battlefield has long lost its original color and has been dyed red by the blood of the soldiers on both sides.

However, even at this point, the battle between the two sides has not ended, and it is still continuing endlessly. The corpses on the battlefield are still accumulating and increasing rapidly. The soldiers on both sides were numbed by killing, with no extra thoughts in their minds. They waved their weapons mechanically like zombies, stabbing, stabbing, chopping, cutting, using their fists, teeth and every other means they could to kill the enemies in front of them.
