The world was pitch black, without a single ray of light, as if we had returned to the chaotic era when Pangu separated heaven and earth.
Time seemed to freeze, leaving only an impenetrable darkness.
Suddenly, in the darkness, a pool of bright red blood seeped out, spreading irregularly in all directions from a single point.
Then countless points of light appeared, as if a powerful god with infinite supernatural abilities was traversing the vast universe, and at the end appeared a blue light curtain and countless shadows.
The earth-shattering shouts of battle grew clearer and clearer.
A soldier's right hand was gripping a shield when a charging warhorse trampled it, bending his arm and instantly breaking the bones inside into several pieces, with one piece protruding from his elbow.
The soldier merely groaned, suddenly feeling no pain. He thrust his spear forward with his left hand, piercing the horse's belly. Thanks to the support of his comrades behind him, he did not fall backward.
"kill!"
At the captain's command, the formation seemed to be cast in steel and began to move forward.
Everyone was thrown into chaos by the cavalry charge.
Each warrior was clad in armor weighing thirty kilograms, and each square formation seemed to be tightly connected to the others. After a brief pause to store up power, they began to move forward and unleashed terrifying power.
Several soldiers were stabbed in the face by cavalry, the spearheads piercing their facial bones and eyes, killing them instantly. However, they were helped up by their comrades behind them and then laid down on the ground by themselves.
The new army fought with great coordination. When someone thrust their spear at the horse's leg, another person would thrust it at the horse's belly, and a third person would use a shield to block the cavalryman's attack.
When dealing with cavalry, the riders are secondary; the key is to deal with the horses. With sufficient defense, if the horse is stabbed, the cavalryman is basically rendered useless.
As the Divine Martial Army advanced, they shouted, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Great Song Dynasty!"
The blood of every member of the Divine Martial Army was like magma in a volcano, burning and boiling!
The situation quickly took an astonishing turn. From the air, it was clear that the Jiaozhi cavalry had been completely contained by the Shenwu Army infantry and were beginning to push back!
The main reason was that the front line was well-defended, so the soldiers in the rear immediately used their spears to thrust forward frantically!
Seeing this scene, even the scholar Zhang Jun couldn't help but feel his blood boil.
When did our Great Song Dynasty ever have such an iron army!
Yue Pengju is truly a divine being!
At a mere twenty-five years old, he was able to build such a formidable army!
No, no, no! The emperor was the real genius! He actually discovered a genius general like Yue Fei!
No wonder the emperor only sent 10,000 troops south, and no wonder Zong Ze only needed 5,000 armored soldiers from the Dali Kingdom!
Following the Jiaozhi cavalry were elephant cavalry. Jiaozhi did not have many cavalry, only a thousand, of which five hundred were used for the charge. They were quickly pushed back by the vanguard of the Divine Warrior Armor.
Elephant troops were a powerful military force in the Kingdom of Jiaozhi. Their greatest feature was the enormous size of the elephants, which could directly injure people, but their weakness was their slow movement.
The Song army's war drums changed again, and the archers positioned in the middle and front received orders from their superiors to fire arrows once more.
Free to fire arrows!
Countless arrows rained down from the sky, piercing the elephant's flesh, and the elephant let out a pitiful cry.
Moreover, the vanguard of the Song army began using crossbows to shoot at elephants, making this wave of attacks by the Song army truly terrifying.
At this moment, the infantry of Jiaozhi Kingdom also rushed up.
From the air, the blue torrent of the Kingdom of Jiaozhi instantly engulfed the black and red of the Song Dynasty, surrounding the Song infantry.
The infantry commander leading the vanguard in Jiaozhi was Ruan Kesheng, who had boasted that he could annihilate the new Song army with 20,000 men. He was very excited.
However, he soon sensed that something was wrong.
Something's not right.
The Song army... is too strong!
This Song army was completely different from the Imperial Guards of the Song Dynasty he had dealt with before!
In his twenty years of military service, Ruan Kesheng had never seen such a powerful army!
In his mind, the military could never do that!
This completely changed his understanding of the military!
He felt that every soldier in the Song army was like a piece of steel, each with a tempered will, each fearless of death, and able to cooperate with each other!
Ruan Kesheng's heart sank, and his legs went weak.
That's impossible!
He saw the Song army slaughtering his soldiers like chickens and ducks!
Their tactics were very simple: maintain a square formation, with each person extending their spear to the right front and using their shield to block it.
Every now and then, a few people would skillfully coordinate to kill the enemies who rushed towards them. The killing action was so astonishing that it seemed as if it was done by one person at the same time!
Sweep!
A complete rout has occurred on the battlefield!
Although the new army also suffered casualties, they were far fewer compared to the others.
Li Huai'an was unaware of the battle situation at the front, but he believed he didn't need to know. With 50,000 troops, he could crush the Song army however he wanted, and Guangnan West Road was his for the taking!
He is mobilizing the elite troops of Jiaozhi; the troops that charged earlier were mostly from Zhenla and Champa.
Soon, a messenger returned to report the general situation of the battle, but the scene of the battle was too dangerous, and the messenger did not report the whole picture. He only said that our army was fighting fiercely with the enemy at the front.
Li Huai'an disagreed, as he was leading the main force of Jiaozhi's elite troops.
"The time has come! Today we will slaughter all the Song soldiers, then occupy Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yongzhou, and plunder the Song people to enslave them. There are inexhaustible treasures there!"
"rush!"
Li Huai'an led 30,000 main forces from Jiaozhi and began to advance.
