Chapter 125: Call off
Everyone stared blankly at this army that they had never seen before.
The uniform footsteps seemed to ring in everyone's mind.
Boom, boom, boom!
Even the sounds of the war horses sounded as if they had undergone a long period of training, which was shocking.
The Yinzhou soldiers, with a strength of 80,000, sounded like an army of hundreds of thousands at this moment.
momentum!
Just in terms of momentum, they firmly suppressed the desperate Long Yan army. Even the scattered Hun army, an army of 200,000 Huns, were dumbfounded.
Cheng Mu's face changed drastically: "Defense, defense!"
But it was too late.
Liu Zheng laughed and shouted, "Jiang Xuan!"
"I will be here!"
"Open a gap and let the brother troops out!"
"I obey your orders! Soldier of the sword!"
"Roar!"
"Follow me and kill!"
"Qin Changfeng!"
"I will be here!"
"Cover Jiang Xuan!"
"yes!"
After several military orders were issued, the Yinzhou soldiers followed orders and the momentum was amazing. For a moment, the cavalry, sword soldiers, shield soldiers, spearmen, and crossbowmen were in an orderly manner, without much preparation. Under the command of the dense war drums, they rushed towards the Xiongnu soldiers who surrounded Longyan's army.
What is even more shocking is that no matter how these Yinzhou soldiers charged, they were still able to maintain neat formation.
Even though the Xiongnu soldiers had already begun to resist and killed some of the charging Yinzhou soldiers, the formation here was still in place, and someone would soon fill the gap to ensure the integrity of the battle formation. This was a complete battle formation, and everyone only needed to complete their own actions, without having to worry about who would suddenly shoot an arrow from behind. In this way, everyone in the battle formation would be focused, and naturally their combat effectiveness would reach an astonishing level!
"this……"
Zheng Yuxing was stunned.
He has led troops for more than 20 years. How could he not know how difficult it is to achieve such a level of unity and mutual trust on a real battlefield?
"kill!"
At this time, the war drums of the Yinzhou Army became more frequent. If you listen carefully, you will find that although the drums are dense, there are traces to follow. These are dense drums with three long and two short beats! Under the command of this war drum, the shield soldiers covered the spear soldiers, and the two wings flew together to form a siege on the oncoming Xiongnu soldiers.
The crossbowmen followed behind them, and the crossbow arrows interfered with the cavalry. The shield soldiers blocked the first wave of scimitar attacks from the Hun soldiers, and then the spearmen launched a fatal blow to the Hun cavalry!
"boom!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The arrogant Hun soldiers were knocked off their horses one by one by the Rhodok spears. The spears pierced through them, and blood flowed!
Just one round.
The Yinzhou soldiers won a complete victory!
"good!"
"Roar!"
"kill!"
The Longyan army was also aroused by the sight of the Yinzhou soldiers being so strong. After all, the Yinzhou soldiers numbered 80,000, and it was easy for them to open a gap when they attacked from the outside, which gave the Longyan army, which had been surrounded for half a day, a gap to escape.
Things like gaps either don't appear, or once they appear, they will grow uncontrollably.
"Surround them, keep surrounding them!"
Cheng Mu shouted coldly.
He planned this war and it was about to succeed, but who would have thought that such a sudden change would happen?
The Xiongnu soldiers received the order and rushed to the gap in the south. However, no matter how they attacked, they could not shake the defense of the Yinzhou soldiers. Once the 80,000 Yinzhou soldiers deployed, unless the 200,000 Xiongnu troops attacked in full force, they really could not do anything to the Yinzhou soldiers. But if that happened, their encirclement of the Longyan army would naturally be broken. In this way, if the Longyan army rebounded and counterattacked, the Xiongnu army would no longer have the advantage of encirclement, and the war situation would change instantly.
"kill!"
"Charge!"
When Zheng Yuxing saw the reinforcements arriving, he naturally knew that the opportunity was not to be missed, so he quickly reorganized his troops and retreated in the direction of the Yinzhou soldiers while fighting.
The Longyan army, having regained its vitality, fought desperately for its life.
The murderous aura and desire to survive displayed at once stunned even the Xiongnu soldiers, who were always known for their ferocity. At this time, Longyan's soldiers used not only weapons, but also their hands, feet, and even their mouths to fight.
They bit the Hun soldier's neck tightly.
They bit the warhorse's neck tightly.
They bit the enemy's legs and even their faces!
The battlefield has become crazy.
Cheng Mu's face was extremely gloomy.
For the first time, the arrogant Xiongnu soldiers actually felt fear. Looking at the Yinzhou soldiers, no matter how chaotic the scene was, they continued to advance steadily, guarding the gap that was slowly being torn apart.
Yinzhou Army?
Cheng Mu gritted his teeth, muttered twice in silence, and then shouted loudly: "Retreat!"
"retreat!"
The Huns sounded the retreat.
Because Cheng Mu knew that the current situation was no longer under his control and had already lost control. Compared to the strict military discipline of the Longyan Dynasty, if the Xiongnu soldiers had an advantage on the scene, they would be invincible in the world.
However, once they lose their advantage, the nature of the Huns' guerrilla forces will be infinitely magnified, and in the end there will even be a ridiculous scene of infighting.
Cheng Mu, who knew the characteristics of the Hun soldiers well, chose to withdraw his troops at the first opportunity.
Nearly 200,000 Hun soldiers quickly retreated to Rongshan Pass.
The Longyan soldiers finally escaped and cheered. This was like escaping from hell, and almost everyone was in tears.
Zheng Yuxing also turned back with a sad face, looking at the brothers whose bodies could not be recovered.
The battle today resulted in the direct loss of 100,000 troops!
One hundred thousand!
The 50,000 troops led by Crown Prince Xie Fang were almost completely wiped out. Zheng Yuxing, the Baiya Army, and the Pingzhou Army led by Prince Lu also lost 50,000 people...
Terrible!
lost heavily!
When the various troops of Longyan came back to Longhu Pass, they all collapsed to the ground, unable to believe what had happened today. When they left today, there were still more than 200,000 troops, but when they came back today, there were only 100,000 left...
Many people burst into tears on the spot.
The veterans were fine, but many of the new recruits couldn't stand today's scene.
"It's all your fault. Why did you go after the Huns?"
"What use is there for Long Yan to have a prince like you!"
Suddenly, a young man in the crowd appeared with a long knife and was about to chop at Xie Fang.
Everyone was shocked.
"Take it for me!"
Zheng Yuxing kicked him and someone immediately tied him up.
Xie Fang's face turned cold: "How dare you sneak attack the crown prince? Kill him! Behead him!"
Zheng Yuxing deliberately shouted angrily: "Drag him away and behead him immediately!"
"yes!"
The young man lost his father and two brothers in the battle today and cried all the way.
Xie Fang trembled all over: "How could it be my fault? Well, tell me, is it my fault? It's because the Xiongnu are too cunning! Do they dare to fight head-on? "
Everyone was speechless and clenched their fists.
"What do you mean? Tell me!"
"Does it have anything to do with me? I just want to take back the lost land!"
He kept roaring.
But no one paid any attention to him.
If he were not the current crown prince, he would not be alive here today.
At this time, the Yinzhou soldiers who were responsible for covering the main force finally returned slowly. This instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Zheng Yuxing clasped his fists and took a deep breath: "Liuzhou is a god-like general who can command troops like a god. Yuxing admires him!"
All the generals echoed.
Even King Nalu looked at Liu Zheng with interest.
Chen Ping had a blank expression and said nothing.
But after all, people know right from wrong. After Zheng Yuxing said this, the 100,000-strong army at Longhu Pass knelt down and expressed their gratitude to Liu Zheng.
"No, no, no, no, no!"
Liu Zheng was startled and quickly got off the horse, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
Zheng Yuxing was a very arrogant person in the Longyan Dynasty. It was probably the first time for him to respect Liu Zheng so much.
"Mr. Liu is a man of great talent, worthy of such a respect!"
Unexpectedly, before Zheng Yuxing could say anything, Xie Ling came over with a smile on her face, looking at Liu Zheng with a gleam in her eyes.
Liu Zheng was just about to bow respectfully.
Xie Ling held Liu Zhen's arm with a warm look on his face, saying, "Sir, please don't be too polite. Today, Xie Ling's life was saved by you. Today, we are equal, you are our benefactor!"
"good!"
"Yes, benefactor!"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly in his heart.
The third prince is indeed not an ordinary person. Just a few words from him made Liu Zheng feel warm in his heart. Who can resist such a method of winning people's hearts?
"snort!"
Xie Fang was watching from the side, and said coldly: "Liuzhou is the same? I can't stand it. It was such a good opportunity just now. The Xiongnu were demoralized. Why didn't you take advantage of the victory and pursue them?"
Liu Zheng was stunned.
Everyone was even more speechless after hearing this.
Even the prince's staunch supporters sighed and held their foreheads .
In response, Liu Zheng could only clasp his fists and smile bitterly.
Jiang Xuan and Qin Changfeng almost killed the prince with their eyes.
Seize the opportunity to win?
You just ran back in a mess, and you've been thinking about unrealistic things all day long, aiming too high. The loss of 100,000 troops was entirely the prince's responsibility, but in the blink of an eye, he forgot about it and yelled at Liu Zheng.
It’s no wonder that the emperor doesn’t like such a prince.
The Third Prince consoled Liu Zheng and said, "Master Liu, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Don't take it to heart. You are exhausted from the rescue. You should take a good rest!"
Having said that, he pulled Liu Zheng into his tent without further ado.
Crown Prince Xie Fang cursed angrily and went back to take a bath and change clothes. Chen Ping hurriedly followed him.
Zheng Yuxing also followed him into the third prince's tent.
He was Xie Ling's uncle, so he naturally saw that the Third Prince wanted to win over Liu Zheng. He was naturally happy about this.
The strength Liu Zheng demonstrated today is worthy of the rumors and evaluations from the outside world.
If the third prince could have this person's help, it would be of great help in his fight for the throne.
Unexpectedly, he just sat down.
Liu Zheng smiled and asked, "General Zheng, within three days, are the soldiers in a good mood and ready to accept a counterattack?"
"What?"
Xie Ling and Zheng Yuxing's expressions changed at the same time.
