Chapter 686: The Iron Cavalry of the Breaking Formation
"The Will to Break Through the Formation!"
“There is death and no life!!!”
This is their slogan to boost morale and implement their will, and it is also the signal for their cavalry to launch a full-speed charge!
As this slogan sounded, the Vanguard Cavalry, which had been maintaining the charging formation, immediately rushed forward at the fastest speed.
Although the whole army only had 300 cavalry, including the horses, all of them were wearing armored equipment. At this moment, they burst out with multiple might! They turned into a torrent of armored equipment, sweeping in with an unstoppable attitude!
The square formation composed of 5,000 troops was as fragile as thin paper in front of the iron hooves of the cavalry, and collapsed at the first blow.
Yan Sheng, who had previously captured able-bodied men from door to door in Black Stone City, paid the price at this moment.
Those nearly two thousand able-bodied men did not dare to contend with the Iron Cavalry.
Almost at the same time when the cavalry charged forward, there were only two words left in their minds: escape!
With this escape, almost half of the 5,000 troops on the battlefield escaped in an instant.
The most terrifying thing is that this action will cause a chain reaction. The morale will be severely hit, and the 3,000 regular troops will almost lose their will to fight. The impact is devastating, causing the entire army to collapse in an instant.
"Send a signal, send a signal quickly, and have the general lead his troops back to support us!!"
On the carriage, Yan Sheng gave orders almost at the top of his lungs.
However, how could Xie Liancheng, who had already learned about the situation from Drogo, obey orders and return to help? As for his cavalry, this time, the centaurs on the opposite side did not let him go. After running away, they turned around and burst into battle, killing the cavalry.
This made many cavalrymen look a little confused.
Over the past few months, after repeated battles with the opposing Centaur troops, the cavalry here had developed an illusion about their own strength.
That is, although he could not defeat the Centaurs, he still had the strength to deal with them.
But now, the serious Centaur soldiers shattered all their fantasies in an instant.
At the same time, on Yan Sheng's side, only a few minutes had passed since he sent out the distress signal, but Yan Sheng already felt as if every second was passing by like a year.
In this era, fully armed and large-scale armored cavalry can be called an invincible chariot. They move back and forth within his field of vision and are invincible! The 5,000 soldiers under his command, including nearly 2,000 able-bodied men, have almost all fled at this moment, and even many regular soldiers are fleeing.
Yan Sheng, who saw this scene, was furious.
Five thousand soldiers, a full five thousand soldiers! They were defeated by three hundred cavalrymen!
"I don't accept it, I don't accept it!!"
Yan Sheng was almost going crazy because of his unwillingness.
At this moment, an armored cavalryman in the distance, who was obviously a general judging by his armor, seemed to notice his presence and turned to look over.
This turn of his head made Yan Sheng's heart skip a beat and his face instantly lost all color.
Then, without even a moment's hesitation, he almost instinctively hid inside the carriage and at the fastest speed, he took out the animal skin scroll he carried with him.
Looking at the scroll, a trace of pain flashed across Yan Sheng's face, but there was no other way.
The other party has already noticed him, and he can't risk his life on the possibility that Jie Liancheng can lead his troops back in time.
With this thought in mind, Yan Sheng tore open the scroll, revealing the circular formation drawn inside the scroll.
At the same time, as he chanted the mantra, the circular formation quickly unfolded and Yan Sheng's figure disappeared out of thin air in the light.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Chongshan killed seven enemy soldiers in a row, rushed to the front of the carriage, and shot open the closed door with the crystal iron spear in his hand.
Then looking at the empty carriage, Zhou Chongshan frowned.
With the blessing of their king, the people of the Great Zhou generally have outstanding eyesight. Zhou Chongshan saw clearly at that time that a middle-aged man got into the carriage, and there was no doubt about that.
Now the carriage is empty?
Recalling the words their king had told him before setting out, Zhou Chongshan had some guesses.
[Could this be the emperor on the other side who has the ability to teleport? ]
Without giving it much thought, the person had disappeared. Zhou Chongshan knew that it was useless to continue to dwell on this issue, so he turned around and threw himself back into the battle at hand.
At this moment, the enemy has basically lost the power to resist.
Zhou Chongshan saw that the situation was almost over, so he took the lead and shouted...
"Put down your weapons! Surrender and you won't be killed!!"
As the commander of the Xianzhen Camp, when Zhou Chongshan shouted, the soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp naturally followed suit and shouted loudly.
Soon, the words "Put down your weapons! Surrender and you won't be killed!" spread throughout the battlefield.
Faced with the cavalry that crushed them in all aspects from strength to weapons and armor, the enemy soldiers on the battlefield had long lost their will to fight and now only wanted to survive.
Now, hearing the words of persuasion to surrender, they dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender without even a moment's hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, many people fell to their knees.
As the voices calling for surrender grew louder, Drogo and his men also heard the noise. After easily dealing with the opposing cavalry, they immediately rushed to the battlefield and, in coordination with the Vanguard Cavalry, began to capture the surrendered soldiers.
During this period, considering his identity issue and just in case, Xie Liancheng made appropriate avoidance. After all, before everything was settled, his fact as an insider could not be exposed for the time being.
At the same time, the infantry unit led by Zhou Xu, which did not have the mobility of the cavalry, had just arrived outside Black Stone City.
【Eye of Insight! 】
He chanted the mantra and observed from afar the figures standing on the top of the Black Stone City wall. They were no longer enemy soldiers wearing standard equipment, but ordinary people, or in other words, the rebels in the city.
However, when Yan Sheng left, he took away all the resources he could in the city. Among them, weapons and equipment, as important military resources, naturally could not be left behind.
This means that the rebels in Blackrock City can only use farm tools as weapons, which are quite shabby.
"Silk, go and make the announcement."
There was no intention to attack the city for the time being, so Zhou Xu directly signaled Silk to go over and shout.
After receiving the order, Silk rode out on his horse and soon arrived outside Blackrock City.
"Listen up, people in the city! We are the army of the Great Zhou, coming from Huangsha City!"
"I guess the tyrant Yan Sheng must have looted all the resources in the city when he left. Without supplies and food, you will have no chance of survival if you just defend this city. You won't last more than half a month at most. It's better to open the city gates and surrender to our Great Zhou!"
"Our king is a benevolent ruler. As long as you are loyal and submissive, he will treat you equally without any prejudice!"
