Chapter 309: Battle of Tianji(1/2)

"Master Zhao has to be saved."

Tian Ji commanded an army of 50,000 men to support Zhao Gongzi's army. The special troops used martial arts, and the ordinary Qingzhou crossbowmen used arrows to clear the way, forcing Hua Mulan's reconnaissance army and Joan of Arc's servant army to retreat.

On the periphery of Tian Ji's army were soldiers holding halberds and shields to protect the crossbowmen from cavalry attacks.

"What should I do now?"

Joan of Arc's army of servants numbered ten thousand, and they had no way of making a move against Tian Ji's calm army. Attacking meant encountering a volley of fire from a large number of crossbowmen, resulting in heavy casualties.

The servant army is cannon fodder, but the cannon fodder must also be used with value.

Hua Mulan also had ten thousand soldiers and horses, wandering around Tian Ji's army, looking for opportunities.

On the other side, the white-robed legion has already overwhelmed Mr. Zhao’s central army. The cavalry galloped across the battlefield, destroying the dead and destroying the dead, and piercing Mr. Zhao’s army!

Mr. Zhao led his troops to retreat, unable to control the situation.

Xuzhou's legions were all elite divisions, and coupled with the betrayal of the Yellow Turban Legion, Zhao Gongzi's legion directly collapsed and fell into a melee.

"The fifth school of the Northern Army and Yan Jia turned to attack Tian Ji's army!"

Chu Tian discovered that the White Robe Legion alone could destroy Mr. Zhao's camp, so he asked Yan Jia and the fifth school of the Northern Army to deal with Qi Martial Arts.

The Yan soldiers with heavy armor and shields lined up in several lines to prevent Tian Ji's army from rescuing.

The archers from the Shesheng Battalion threw a hail of arrows and fell into Tian Ji's army!

The long archers of the Shesheng Battalion have a longer range than the cavalry archers. When the arrows rained down, many crossbowmen and infantrymen of Tian Ji's army were killed!

Tian Ji was surprised by the fierce arrow rain from Shesheng Camp, which caused a lot of losses to his army.

"Is that Yan Jia? Shoot an arrow to let them know that the Qingzhou Legion is not easy to mess with!"

Tian Ji pointed his long sword forward, fired his long bow and individual crossbows, and fired thousands of arrows. He used a denser rain of arrows than the Shesheng camp to counterattack!

Although Tian Ji's army only had about 3,000 Qi martial arts troops, the number of Qingzhou crossbowmen who were superior to the third level was large, so the interweaving arrow rain formed was airtight.

Yan Jia used shields to pile up into turtle shells. When the arrows rained down from the sky, the arrows collided with the shield, and most of the arrows were blocked!

A low-level crossbowman would do very little damage against a seventh-level Yanjia!

The archers of the Shesheng Battalion in the rear suffered even greater casualties!

"As expected of Qi Martial Arts, Yan Jia stepped forward to attack, followed by the infantry battalion, and the Shesheng battalion provided cover!"

Chu Tian commanded the fifth school of the Northern Army and the Yan Jia assigned by Le Yi, and took the initiative to attack Tian Ji's army, which was far more numerous than his own.

The infantry battalion and Shesheng battalion have a total of 6,000 people, and Yan Jia only has 7,000 people, but these are elite divisions!

Chu Tian caught a glimpse of Hua Mulan and Joan of Arc's two legions wandering near Tian Ji's legion. He believed that as long as he took the initiative to launch an offensive, the two legions would cooperate with him.

If Hua Mulan doesn't take the initiative to cooperate, she will have to take care of her family when she returns.

Yan Jia took neat steps, marching normally at first, then started to trot, and charged under the rain of arrows like dark clouds!

Iron arrows kept hitting the shields and armor, and sparks flew out the moment the iron hit!

The rain of arrows failed to stop Yan Jia's offensive! This is the terrifying thing about high-level heavy infantry and high-level heavy cavalry!

They sacrificed mobility in exchange for powerful defense!

Even Chutian currently only has one thousand personnel for Yan Jia because the equipment Yan Jia needs is too expensive.

It is the Qi Martial Arts warriors who can bring effective damage to Yan Jia from Tian Ji's army. Qi Martial Arts are good at various fighting skills and are a relatively balanced unit. Some of the arrows fired by Qi Martial Arts can kill Yan Jia.

But Qi Martial Arts faced more than just Yan Jia.

The Shesheng Battalion cooperates with Yan Jia to suppress Qi Martial Arts. If Qi Martial Arts focuses on shooting the strong Yan Jia, it means that the Shesheng Battalion can use arrow rain to kill all directions.

Hua Mulan had been following Chu Tian for the longest time and knew that she should take the initiative to cooperate at this time. When Yan Jia attracted most of Qi Ji's attention, her iron eagle scouts and low-level light cavalry began to tentatively attack the opponent's Tian Ji army.

Wave after wave of light cavalry harassed Tian Ji's flanks. When they reached the range of cavalry shooting, they fired a hail of arrows and then retreated.

Tian Ji's army began to waver, and ordinary soldiers realized that something was wrong - Tian Ji's army lacked enough cavalry to cover it.

Joan of Arc is observing the battlefield. In order to return to France as soon as possible, she cannot fail easily, otherwise she will be given excuses to extend her return to France.

When she saw the fifth school of the Northern Army and the reconnaissance regiment attacking Tian Ji's regiment, she understood that the servant regiment should actively cooperate to defeat the enemy for the lord.

She assembled the heavy cavalry from the servant legions to form a cone formation, with Spanish and French full-armored knights as the vanguard, and at the rear were heavy cavalry from the Indian Mughal Empire, Koryo, and Japan.

The servant legion can gather about 600 heavy cavalry. Although the number is not large, it can tear apart the enemy's formation!

In the rear are light cavalry, infantry, and archers.

“God will lead us to victory!”

Joan of Arc holds a lance and leads the heavy cavalry of the servant legion to charge!

The servant army was infected by the master general, their morale increased, and they fanatically followed the saint!

This is the unique charm of the Lord!

The ground is shaking, the knights and heavy cavalry are trampling on the flying swallows, and the sand is rolling!

The knights in full armor charged with long and sharp lances, and the heavy infantrymen arranged by Tian Ji on the flanks couldn't help but change their colors.

European knights sometimes behave very cowardly, but with the encouragement of the saint, they become reckless men who are not afraid of death!

This is why France wants to redeem the representative heroes of their civilization at all costs. The saint's inspiration alone can increase the combat effectiveness of the French Legion.

Hundreds of heavy cavalry broke into the corner of Tian Ji's army. The cavalry and war horses protected by heavy armor knocked down the heavy infantry in the front row, and the lances stabbed the opponent to death faster than the heavy infantry's spears!

Tian Ji's army was shaken. Light cavalry from the rear who were good at mounted archery arrived and used arrow rain to destroy Tian Ji's army's phalanx, exacerbating the chaos.

Further to the rear, Arab Empire light infantry, Japanese warriors, foot knights, Toungu sword players and other types of soldiers from various civilizations swarmed in and attacked along the opening opened by the heavy cavalry!

Although the servant legions looked diverse, they were elite troops from various civilizations after all. With the bonus of a saint, they were no worse than a high-level legion, which soon led to the partial collapse of Tian Ji's legion.

The collapse of the legion in any direction is fatal to the legion, like a chain reaction.

Hua Mulan's reconnaissance legion also began to formally attack the wavering Tian Ji legion. The light cavalry was like waves, continuously beating Tian Ji legion!

As long as the formation of Tian Ji's army is in chaos, the light cavalry will march straight in and move forward!

Yan Jia has collided with Qi Martial Arts and Qingzhou infantry. The fully armored Yan Jia soldiers killed the Qingzhou infantry in the front row. However, the Qingzhou infantry was only cannon fodder used to slow down the impact of Yan Jia. Qi Martial Arts, the real main force, held a long halberd.

Fighting hand-to-hand with Yan Jia who was slowing down, the halberds collided with each other, and the sound was mind-numbing!

With Tian Ji's bonus, Qi's martial arts exploded with powerful combat power, and could actually kill many Yan soldiers equipped with heavy armor.

"It's a pity that Le Yi is blocking Tai Shi Ci, otherwise Yan Jia with Le Yi's bonus would be even stronger."

Chutian lacks the bonus to infantry, and only cavalry can exert its greatest power in Chutian's hands.

Yan Jia gave Chu Tian command, which was somewhat wasteful.

However, Yan Jia's purpose is to attract Qi Martial Arts' attention and gain opportunities for the Servant Legion and the Scout Legion.

The cavalry is the key to destroying Tian Ji's army!

"The friendly forces have been defeated and there is no point in continuing to fight. It is better to withdraw."

When Tian Ji's army saw Hua Mulan, Joan of Arc's cavalry defeated his infantry and archers deployed on the periphery, and then led his army to retreat.

Zhao Gongzi's Northern Navy Regiment was annihilated by the White Robe Army and the Yellow Turban Army, leaving Tian Ji helpless.

If they don't retreat in time, Tian Ji's army will also have to answer for this.

Xuzhou's main force followed closely and continuously attacked Tian Ji's army.

In order to escape, Tian Ji abandoned 30,000 troops and only retained 20,000 troops.

His tactics were effective. Thirty thousand soldiers blocked the pursuit from the Xuzhou Guards Corps and the main army, and Tian Ji took the opportunity to escape.

The battlefield was full of broken troops, and 30,000 people were enough to cover everyone's sight, with no end in sight.

Mr. Zhao led his troops to escape. They were defeated like a mountain. Most generals did not have the ability to reverse the situation, and neither did Mr. Zhao.

If he had the kind of generals who could turn defeat into victory in adversity, he would not be forced to use the tactics of fortifying the wall and clearing the field.

Prince Zhao fled to Ju County, the seat of Beihai State, gathering thousands of defeated troops on the way.

Tian Ji's situation was much better than him. He decisively sacrificed most of his troops, leaving 20,000 fresh troops for the next battle.

Three thousand people fought together, but only more than a thousand people survived.

"The cavalry of the Xuzhou Army was so terrifying. If their flanks hadn't collapsed, how could they have failed so quickly?"

Tian Ji escaped by chance, but was still frightened.

The Xuzhou Army attaches great importance to cavalry tactics and often defeats them on both wings. The infantry is more used to attract the attention of frontal enemies.

Faced with this tactic, Tian Ji had no good countermeasures.

Tian Ji's army joined Prince Zhao, and the two sides together numbered about 30,000 people.

Compared with the previous huge military strength, the 30,000-strong army has undoubtedly shrunk by more than half.

Dorgon limped along with Mr. Zhao. He could not fall into the hands of Xuzhou Mu, because Zhao Yun always regarded him as a mortal enemy and could not coexist with him.

"Where is Xue Wanche?"

Mr. Zhao could not find Xue Wanche.
