Chapter 348: Desperate Madness
Gao Xianzhi was in trouble. He didn't dare to change the formation now. He also didn't have the ability to maintain a perfect circle while marching. He could only stay where he was and defend.
But as he looked at the left and right wings getting closer and closer, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could fight with these troops, the White Legion would not kill their own people, right?
Gao Xianzhi regained his composure and began to command the soldiers inside the circle to adjust their positions. As long as the white army did not participate in the battle, he believed that the Goryeo swordsmen would not lose.
The configuration of Yan Liang's army was not very reasonable. Half of them were cavalry, and the remaining half were light infantry. This was also for the sake of mobility. After all, the support had to be fast. Those bulkier units were basically not brought with them, and they would all be dispatched for support by Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan in the rear.
Their mission was to weaken the pressure that Goryeo brought to several cities as much as possible. As long as they could hold out until the main army arrived, their mission would be considered successfully completed.
Yan Liang took out his large yellow bow and shot a sniper arrow at Gao Xianzhi, but unfortunately Gao Xianzhi was not hit at all because he was protected by his personal guards.
"Qi, it's still an internal energy out of the body!"
Seeing this, Yan Liang could only put down the big yellow bow in his hand with a curse and continue to command the troops. His internal energy under the cloud had already given him the ability to face him. In addition, his archery skills were average and far inferior to Huang Zhong and others, so he didn't have the heart to continue shooting arrows.
In the situation of a large-scale battle like this , no one would dare to charge into the battle without Lu Bu's strength.
Yan Liang then devoted himself to the command. To be honest, Yan Liang's command level was not weak. Even the command level of the Four Pillars of Hebei was not weak. They had all received systematic training from military masters under Yuan Shao, and were much stronger than Guan Yu and others now.
Basically, he can command soldiers within 50,000 as easily as with his own arms. This is why Yan Liang and others volunteered to provide support first, because they are all rare good generals who are not only brave but also good at commanding troops.
When the two armies really started fighting , Yan Liang couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.
It's over. The commander is no match for him, and there are actually guards in the opposing army.
Those guys on the opposite side who were holding long swords and wearing light armor and looked very luxurious were actually really good. Their moves were coordinated with each other and each move hit the vital points . If ordinary soldiers had fought like this, they would have been stabbed to death.
Playing the game of capturing weaknesses on the battlefield means you are dissatisfied with not dying fast enough. You should know that some soldiers have many flaws, but their attacks are life-threatening and it is a test of courage. If you timidly want to exploit others' weaknesses, you will undoubtedly be half a beat slower than others.
Things change rapidly on the battlefield, and being a little slow could mean death.
But the swordsmen are different. They are like a whole. Every move and every style is just right, and it is almost a one-sided situation.
The team with the Yi Jianshi as the core began to counterattack from the circle, with Yi Jianshi as the vanguard and the other soldiers helping out and picking up the loose ends. For a moment, the battle line was like the Kan hexagram and they were killing Yan Liang's soldiers in a rush.
A chess swordsman centurion finally recovered from the white fear. He deflected the spear of the Youzhou soldier in front of him with one sword, and then pierced the chest of the Youzhou soldier with another sword.
Then, when he was about to draw his sword to kill another soldier, he suddenly felt a heaviness in his hand. It turned out that the soldier who was pierced through the chest by the sword was holding on to his sword tightly and would not let go.
“Damn it!”
The centurion swordsman was so angry that before he could do anything else, his head was pierced by a spear.
Such scenes were staged one after another. The Youzhou soldiers seized every opportunity to counterattack, and were willing to sacrifice their lives to restrict the opponent's actions and create attack opportunities for their comrades.
As long as they were not beheaded by the swordsman, they would bite off a piece of flesh from him even if they had to.
But even so, Yan Liang's soldiers were defeated one after another, and there was a huge gap in the hard power of the two sides.
The soldiers under Yan Liang were, after all, just veterans. Strictly speaking, they could not be considered dual-talented soldiers. To put it simply, they were dual-talented soldiers who had not been transferred. Apart from their basic qualities, they had no talent bonuses at all. The fight between the two sides was almost one-sided.
Moreover, the opponent was the defending party and could exert greater strength, while due to the distance, Yan Liang's side only had the front group engaged in the battle. The command levels of the two sides were obviously not on the same level.
If it weren't for the high morale and fearlessness of , Yan Liang wouldn't know how to fight next.
Yan Liang was extremely anxious. He couldn't win the battle in terms of command or quality. If he continued to fight like this, not only would he give Bai Ma a chance to reap the rewards, he might even be kidnapped and escape.
Looking at Gongsun Xu's suspicious eyes beside him, Yan Liang's long-accumulated emotions completely erupted.
"I just don't believe it. I, Yan Liang, am really a useless person!"
Yan Liang has been feeling guilty ever since the Battle of Hulao Pass. He believes that the defeat was caused by him. If he could be stronger, he might not have been defeated!
The humiliation of losing to Lu Bu, the unsuccessful attempt to encircle and suppress the White Lotus Sect, the defeat at Wagang, and Qingzhou's powerlessness in the face of the Four Evil Gods, plus the promise made to the soldiers of Youzhou.
Yan Liang went completely insane and felt his heart tribulation. In order to prove his heart tribulation, the disappointment accumulated in his heart for a long time finally broke out completely at this moment.
A dark red glow appeared on Yan Liang's body as he fell into madness, and a set of internal energy armor with clear patterns was attached to Yan Liang's body.
"kill"
Yan Liang roared, kicked his horse's belly and rushed towards Gao Xianzhi with the Great Xia Dragon Bird in his hand. What a bullshit command, what a bullshit elite, look at me, I will defeat a thousand people today.
Yan Liang rushed in directly from the left side closest to Gao Xianzhi, and fought hard to kill the Goryeo soldiers. Unfortunately, although he was able to repel the counterattack of the Goryeo troops due to the suppression of the cloud, he was unable to break into the tightly-packed Goryeo circular formation.
The perfect circular formation forced out by the white horse had an amazing effect, and was extremely powerful in defense and counterattack.
"Ah!!!!" Yan Liang became more and more depressed as the fight went on. His strength was greatly reduced. He even began to doubt himself and wondered if he was really worthy of being one of the Four Pillars of Hebei.
A twisted legion attack hit Yan Liang head-on. Under the incredulous gaze of the Youzhou soldiers, Yan Liang forcibly deflected the legion attack. The bounced-back legion attack hit the Goryeo soldiers' formation hard. Although they were protected by the cloud, dozens of people still died.
Just as Yan Liang was becoming more and more desperate, an indescribable but extremely majestic voice rang out and suddenly spread throughout the Han Dynasty. Even Li Jue and others who were far away in the Western Regions heard the voice.
