Chapter 590
The heavy armored cavalry were completely vulnerable in front of Changsun Yuanhong, but they rushed towards Changsun Yuanhong one after another like moths to the flame, blocking his path.
It can be said that the reason why Tang Yin and others were able to successfully break out of the Ning Army camp was because of the bloody road paved by the heavy armored cavalry with their flesh and blood.
Seeing the cooked duck fly away, Changsun Yuanhong was furious. However, when he saw Tang Yin and the others fleeing to the north, he immediately calmed down and said to himself that Tang Yin was really panicking and did not choose his way out! There is a dead end in the north, passing through the plains east of the river, and beyond are the barren mountains and ridges, with no way to go.
He only thought for a moment, and then sent someone to send a message to Wei Zheng, asking him not to fight with the main force of the Feng Army again, and to lead the entire army to retreat to the camp. At the same time, he also sent someone to pass an order to the Yue Cavalry, asking the Yue Army to return to the camp immediately. , follow him to hunt down Tang Yin.
When Chang Sun Yuanhong's military order was passed to Wei Zheng, it was also passed to the hands of the Vietnamese army general Hamel. The Vietnamese army naturally followed Chang Sun Yuanhong's lead. After receiving his order, Hamel did not even pay attention to Wei Zheng. Immediately send an order to have all the Vietnamese cavalry fighting with the Feng army retreat.
On Wei Zheng's side, the main force fighting the Feng Army was the Yue Army. The Yue Army suddenly withdrew, and the remaining 100,000 Ning Army was immediately in chaos. When Wei Zheng saw this, his teeth were itching with hatred. You can retreat if you want, but you have to warn yourself in advance and protect your own army to retreat first. The Vietnamese army are all cavalry. No, but one hundred thousand of our own soldiers are all infantry, and their armor is heavy, so how can they outrun the Feng army?
The Vietnamese army retreated regardless, but the Ning army, which was still on the battlefield, suffered a lot. Seeing the enemy's cavalry suddenly running away, the Feng army had no worries anymore, and its morale was greatly boosted. The soldiers roared and charged towards the Ning army. The Ning Army's retreat was to retreat and die along the way. The casualties caused by the Ning Army's trampling on each other were countless.
It wasn't until the main force of Ning's army retreated into the camp that Feng's army stopped chasing. At this time, looking at the battlefield, the ground was covered with silver flowers, covered with Ning's army's corpses. Wei Zheng led 100,000 soldiers into the battle. In one battle, no less than 20,000 to 30,000 people were killed or wounded. It can be said that this was another disastrous defeat. Of course, the responsibility for this disastrous defeat did not lie with him.
Although the Feng army stopped chasing and did not forcefully attack the Ning camp, they did not return to the Feng camp. Instead, they bypassed the Ning army's camp and headed north. Wei Zheng, who returned to the camp, couldn't help but take a breath after seeing Feng Jun's movements. It was said that Tang Yin who stole the camp ran north, but Feng Camp was obviously in the south. Why did Tang Yin flee north? Is there any fraud involved?
Thinking of this, and then looking at the Feng army heading north outside the camp, he trembled with excitement, waved to call a subordinate, and said urgently: "You ride a fast horse and catch up with General Yuan Hong quickly, reminding him that he must Be more careful and beware of an ambush by the Feng Army!”
"Yes!" The subordinate agreed and walked away quickly.
Now Changsun Yuanhong was cruel and wanted to catch up with Tang Yin and capture him no matter what. He led 100,000 Yue cavalry and 100,000 Ning infantry to pursue them north. However, not far away, he found that the speed of the infantry was too slow, which had slowed down the entire army. He made a prompt decision, abandoned the infantry, and only led 100,000 Yue cavalry to pursue them.
This was something Ziying had not expected at first. He only considered the Ning army and ignored the Yue army. Pabuma's speed is slow, but it is still faster than the Ning army, but compared with the Yue cavalry, its speed is not at the same level at all.
When Tang Yin led a cadre of men to run towards their ambush site in the north, they heard a dull roar from behind. Everyone looked back subconsciously and saw dust flying behind them, and the mist rising tens of meters high. , like a hurricane coming.
Everyone was battle-hardened and experienced, and they could tell at a glance that it was the effect produced by the crazily charging cavalry of the brigade.
"Oops!" Shangguan Yuanwu trembled and shouted loudly to Tang Yin: "Your Majesty, the enemy has sent cavalry to chase us!"
Of course Tang Yin also realized this. Aren't the Yue cavalry fighting with the Pingyuan Army and the Sanshui Army? Why did you withdraw suddenly? He thought for a moment and said to his left and right: "Yuan Wu, Yuan Biao and the uninjured brothers will stay with me to stop the enemy. I will cover the injured brothers and retreat first!"
"The king retreats, but the hidden arrows stay!" At this time, Cheng Jin rode out from the crowd and said, "Although the hidden arrows cannot withstand these many enemies, they can at least stop the enemy's pursuit, and we are all Even if you can't defeat the dark spiritual cultivator, you can still retreat!"
In a critical moment, Tang Yin can only choose a plan that can minimize losses. He stared at Cheng Jin for a moment, nodded, and said: "You are blocking the enemy, not killing the enemy. As long as you can slow down Ning's army, you must not be reluctant to fight!"
"I understand!" Cheng Jin responded with cupped hands. Then, he slowed down his horse and shouted at the same time: "Brothers from the Dark Arrow, stay with me to face the enemy!"
Following his words, dozens of riders in the crowd slowed down. After letting all their own personnel pass, dozens of Dark Arrow members headed by Cheng Jin lined up in a long row, staring at the people behind without blinking. The pursuers, at the same time, people put on their spiritual armors, showed their long swords, and waved their arms to transform them into spirits.
Soon, the Yue cavalry was only a hundred steps away from Cheng Jin and others. Looking at the Yue army's camp at this time, people couldn't help but shudder. The charge of 100,000 cavalrymen was so mammoth that it was like overwhelming mountains and seas. The ground was shaking. The dull and violent sound of horse hooves could make people's heart beat irregularly. Standing directly in front of 100,000 cavalrymen, the timid ones People can be scared to death.
Cheng Jin took a deep breath and suppressed his heart that was about to burst out of his throat. He looked around and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is the pillar of our Feng Kingdom. Your Majesty must not make any mistakes. We are insignificant. Even if we die in battle today, On the battlefield, the king is safe! Kill——" After saying this, Cheng Jin urged his horse and rushed out to face the Vietnamese army.
Dozens of assassins had already declared their determination to die. Seeing that Cheng Jin had already rushed out, people did not fall behind and shouted for death. They all urged their horses and rushed out.
A mere few dozen people were just a drop in the ocean in front of a hundred thousand cavalry. As soon as the two sides came into contact, dozens of people disappeared and were overwhelmed by the vast number of Vietnamese troops. In the crowd, the secret arrow personnel used all their strength, brandishing their spiritual knives, and slashed the endless Vietnamese troops around them.
On the battlefield, those who can truly be invincible and control the outcome of both sides are always light spiritual cultivators, while dark spiritual cultivators are not suitable for fighting in chaotic armies and do not have large-scale destruction. Dark spiritual cultivators with special skills are more suitable for fighting alone or for assassination and spying.
No matter how high the cultivation level of the secret arrow personnel is and how strong their spiritual skills are, after all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. How many nails can they break if they are covered with iron? As the battle between the two sides intensified, during the continuous use of shadow drift, the aura of the dark arrow personnel was exhausted, or they were cut bloody by the Vietnamese army, or they were knocked to the ground and trampled alive by random horses. die.
Seeing his brothers fall one after another, Cheng Jin could only use his last resort. He yelled: "Use the Shadow Spell!"
After hearing his words, all the Dark Arrow personnel retracted and retreated into a group. The personnel on the outside were responsible for blocking the enemy, and the personnel inside began to use spiritual energy to cast shadow spells. The Shadow Curse is very effective against infantry that is densely packed and does not understand its characteristics. It has huge lethality, but it has little effect on the agile cavalry.
At first, the shadow curse of the secret arrow personnel did kill a lot of Vietnamese troops, but soon the Vietnamese army realized that once someone was hit by the shadow curse, the surrounding personnel immediately rushed back, and the shadow curse without the medium could only become a weapon. It becomes a useless skill that consumes a lot of spiritual energy but can only kill one enemy.
Seeing that even the shadow curse had lost its effect, Cheng Jin shook his head secretly. This battle could no longer be fought. If it continued, he and his brothers would have to die of exhaustion in the chaos. In desperation, he could only give the order to retreat. Fighting with the enemy is not Dark Arrow's forte, but no one can match the Dark Soul Cultivator's ability to escape.
Under Cheng Jin's order, people used shadow drift to sneak to the outside of the Vietnamese army's encirclement, seized the horses of the Vietnamese soldiers, urged the horses and ran away.
The Vietnamese army was unwilling to give up and then pursued them. After running for a while, I saw that the Vietnamese army was chasing after him very quickly. I was afraid that it would not take long to catch up with Tang Yin in front. Cheng Jin could only lead his An Jian brothers to continue to block the attack. This time, the time for the two sides to fight was even shorter. An Jian The personnel were forced to retreat again.
The two sides fought and chased several times, but it did not slow down the Vietnamese army much. On the contrary, more than ten people were killed in the hidden arrows. In the end, even Cheng Jin's spiritual energy was almost exhausted. Unable to fight anymore, Cheng Jin could only lead his men and run all the way.
At this time, the shortcoming of the heavy armored cavalry's slow speed was completely exposed. Even though the hidden arrow personnel had tried their best to slow down the Yue cavalry, Tang Yin and the others had not run far. Not long after Cheng Jin and others ran down all the way, I saw the shadow of my own troops.
Cheng Jin gritted his teeth and used his spirit knife to scratch the horse's hindquarters. The horse was in pain and ran forward like crazy. Soon he caught up with his own troops and rushed to Tang Yin's side. Then he pulled the reins hastily. Let the war horse slow down, and then shout out breathlessly: "Your Majesty, there are too many enemy troops. I am afraid that one hundred thousand Yue cavalry have been dispatched. Your Majesty... Your Majesty, it is better to retreat first!"
Tang Yin looked at Cheng Jin. Now the latter was covered in blood. His spiritual armor had dozens of cracks. It was unclear whether the blood on his body was his own or the enemy's. Cheng Jin could fight so badly. This was Rarely seen. Tang Yin frowned and looked back. The Yue cavalry was getting closer and closer. It seemed that it was impossible to lure the opponent into his own encirclement. With his own speed, it would be a matter of time before the enemy overtook him.
Now, of course, he could abandon his men and use Ruying's speed to get rid of the enemy troops far away, but it was not Tang Yin's personality to abandon all the brothers who had followed him through life and death, just to survive for himself. He ignored Cheng Jin and looked around, seeing the shadow of the forest on the far right side of the official road. Without even thinking about it, he turned around and got off the official road first. He turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me! "
