Chapter 588 The dust settles
The sound of the war horses hitting the ground was like a war drum, ringing the uneasiness in the hearts of the soldiers of Zhongshan Army.
Faced with the enemy who suddenly appeared behind him, the originally high morale of the Zhongshan Army was suddenly suppressed.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty and subconsciously held the spear in his hand tightly. The Zhongshan soldiers' eyes were staring at the huge red wave in their sight.
Five hundred steps, four hundred steps, three hundred steps...
Time passed by minute by minute, and the speed of the Wei cavalry advanced gradually. In the end, thousands of war horses galloped towards the Zhongshan military formation in front.
"The whole army..."
"Welcome to the enemy!"
Just as the Zhongshan army soldiers in the back formation were ready to face the upcoming attack of the Wei cavalry, they saw a knight in front of them turning around and getting off the war horse.
With the left hand, the right hand picked up the arrow, the sharp arrow was shot out the next moment.
When thousands of Wei cavalry completed a big round in front of the Zhongshan Army formation, thousands of sharp arrows fell into the back formation of the Zhongshan Army like raindrops.
But the raindrops may just feel a little bit when hitting people, and the arrows shot are fatal.
The Zhongshan Army soldiers who could not handle it paid a heavy price. Looking at the Wei cavalry leaving, there were roars in the Zhongshan Army formation.
"Arrowman, fight back!"
"fight back!"
Unfortunately, relying on the speed advantage of the war horses under him, the arrows fired by the Zhongshan Army did not cause much casualties to the Wei cavalry. The feathered arrows pierced the open space between the two sides.
After a while, the Wei cavalry, who had assembled in the back formation and had a brief rest, once again showed their fangs to the Zhongshan military formation ahead.
In fact, except for the first unexpected contribution, the Wei cavalry's repeated surprise attacks did not gain much effective results.
However, this measure, which was like a blunt knife, effectively suppressed the attack on the Zhao army in front and greatly damaged the morale of the Zhongshan army.
One has increased and the other has deteriorated, and finally he recovered from the offensive of the Zhongshan Army, while the morale of the Zhao army on the other side is rising little by little.
"court death!"
Seeing that the Zhongshan strong men were almost about to break through their own defense and threaten the safety of their central army, Zhao Yu, the Zhao Hou, on the chariot, came out of his heart.
He picked up the strong bow beside him, and the feather arrow was placed on the string, and the sharpness came out of the string the next moment.
Accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking through the air, the Zhongshan Lishi who was rushing forward suddenly suffered a sudden setback, but a sharp pain came from his chest.
Lishi is worthy of being a Lishi. Even though he suffered such severe damage on his body, his offensive has not stopped.
One step, two steps, three steps...
His footsteps kept moving forward, but another sound of breaking through the air sounded in his ears, and an arrow was stabbed on another vital point.
"kill!"
At the same time, seeing the strongmen suffered heavy damage, the Zhao soldiers who were afraid of his combat power and dared not step forward almost also launched an offensive against him at the same time.
Two fists cannot match four hands, and tigers fight against wolves.
Scars began to appear on Zhongshan Lishi's body, and drops of blood continued to drip along the wound on the ground.
"Tick...tick...tick..."
Time passed a long time, and the Zhongshan strong men, who were seriously injured and outnumbered, no longer had the power to move forward.
His body shaking and shaking, and eventually lost its stability and fell directly on the ground.
The scene in front of him gradually became blurred, and the breathing sound gradually became heavy. Amid the fear of many Zhao soldiers, this Zhongshan strongman no longer fought.
"So strong!"
Seeing the death of Zhongshan Lishi, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel regretful.
But the next moment, this regret was replaced by Ling Li. Under the witness of the soldiers around him, he raised the strong bow in his hand high above his head.
"Strike back!"
The death of Zhongshan's strong men and Zhao Yu's military orders were like a fiery fire, which completely ignited the Zhao army's fighting spirit to counterattack.
The Zhao soldiers, who were originally at a disadvantage on the battlefield, won victory after victory on the front line of the two armies, pushing back the defense line that was originally pushed to their own side.
At the same time, the Wei cavalry's offensive became more and more rapid. After raiding the back of the Zhongshan Army, a fatal rush followed.
One step by one, one ride, one forward and one back.
Under the long-term attack of the enemy from both sides, the Zhongshan Army was unable to concentrate all its efforts to deal with the offensive of one side, let alone complete the goals set before the war.
"General, our army is now under the enemy from both sides. If the war continues to be so stalemate, it may be detrimental to our army."
The words of the deputy general beside him not only revealed the unfavorable situation facing the Zhongshan army at this moment, but also made the face of Zhongshan chief Sima Xi add a little more solemn.
The current situation of the battle has exceeded Sima Xi’s previous idea. The thing he was most worried and afraid of finally appeared in front of him.
Only thousands of cavalry had greatly delayed their footsteps, completely shaking their pre-war plan.
If the main force of the Wei Yan coalition in Gucheng arrives later, how will the war continue to worsen...
The sudden change in the war did not give Sima Xi time to continue thinking, and a cry from behind broke the deadlock at this moment.
"Running forward..."
"Defeat the enemy!"
Looking at the direction of the sound, the originally tight rear formation of the Zhongshan Army had been raided again and again by the Wei cavalry, and the rushing was a mess.
As the main general of this Wei cavalry and a long-time general of Wei State, how could Xishou Gongsun Yan not seize the fleeting opportunity?
With a command, the Wei cavalry was like a tiger going down the mountain, entering the Zhongshan army formation as if there was no one, and heading straight towards the Zhongshan army's central army.
The war horses under him were galloping continuously, but Gongsun Yan's eyes were staring tightly in front of him, staring at the Zhongshan Army Celestial floating in his sight.
He opened his bow and took an arrow, and a feather arrow flew out. After a few breaths, the big crow fell down.
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!"
...
The morale of the Wei cavalry increased due to Gongsun Yan's superb shooting skills, but the morale of the Zhongshan Army was as strong as the falling flag.
In the battle formation, it is often a sense of energy.
Now the morale of the Zhongshan Army is declining, while the Wei and Zhao Army are in full swing, and the attack is becoming more and more fierce. The balance of the war is inevitably biased towards Wei and Zhao.
"God does not bless me, it is not a crime of war."
With an extremely painful but unwilling mood, Sima Xi had no choice but to order the entire army to retreat to Lingshou City.
The defeat at Lingshou City has no chance of Zhongshan Kingdom. What he can do is just more bargaining chips.
