Chapter 273 Dawn
The successive pieces of news hit everyone like thunder.
Not only Xiao Changfeng and Shen Zhao failed to react, but even Boda and the Xijue soldiers failed to react.
The soldiers who came to join them suddenly drew their swords against them.
Soldiers wearing the same armor fought each other, and the Western Jue army was immediately thrown into chaos.
At first, the Western Jue soldiers thought that the reinforcements had defected, but they soon discovered something was wrong.
"It's from the Great Zhou!"
"The people of Da Zhou are wearing our armor!"
But it was useless to find out. They were all wearing the same armor, so how could they tell which were their own people and which were from the Great Zhou?
The Western Jue soldiers were immediately thrown into disarray.
One soldier slashed another soldier wearing Severodvin armor with his sword.
The soldier who was chopped covered his wound and said, "Fuck your mother, I am one of you!"
The Western Jue soldier hurriedly turned his knife towards the other man and was about to chop him when the other man spoke.
"It's one of our own."
The Western Jue soldier paused.
The man approached him and suddenly shouted, "Fuck your own people, and die to the Xijue people."
With a swing of the knife, the Western Jue soldier fell down defenselessly.
Boda gritted his teeth and watched the chaos from his horse. Everywhere he looked were soldiers wearing Western Jue armor.
But he soon discovered something unusual.
"Don't look at the armor! Look at the sword. The weapons of the people of Da Zhou are different!"
This warning quickly spread throughout the army, and the Western Jue soldiers found a way to identify their own people.
Chen Yu stroked Benxiao's horse mane with her hand, calming the restless horse that was eager to fight.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Chuan who was standing on his horse, "I've been discovered."
Xiao Chuan immediately understood what Shen Yu meant, raised the flag in his hand, and shouted: "Take off your armor——!"
The garrison troops removed their armor during the melee, and they found themselves wearing a layer of their own armor underneath.
The purpose of putting Xijue's armor on the outside is to kill him by surprise. Since he has been discovered, the armor becomes cumbersome, and it is more convenient to move after taking it off.
"Kill the Western Jue people!" "Kill!"
Chen Yu used Boda's Western Jue army as a whetstone, allowing the garrison troops under her command to be honed into an elite force through several battles.
The garrison troops could remain calm and dormant, which they had learned from the previous battles and sieges in the Western Regions.
things.
They may not draw their swords, but when they do, blood will be shed. This is the tempering they gained in subsequent wars.
In a real sense, this was their first head-on confrontation with Boda.
Xiao Chuan fastened the flag tightly to his waist, raised his sword, and rushed towards the Western Jue army on his horse.
"kill--!"
Boda found Chen Yu standing tall on his horse amidst the chaos of the army.
She didn't move, but Boda felt her rapid gaze.
Boda rode his horse towards Chen Yu, getting closer and closer, but Chen Yu still didn't move.
Even at such a long distance, Boda could clearly see the cruelty and mockery in Chen Yu's eyes under the sky that was illuminated red by the fire.
Boda's chest was filled with rage. This woman's tactics were different from all the opponents he had ever met. She had a delicacy that men did not have, and she was also more cunning.
"Chen Yu!"
"Boda." Shen Yu stared at him through the heavy soldiers.
She said slowly, "I am here to take your life."
Yin Feng's blade scratched the scabbard, revealing its long-hidden edge.
This knife came from her lover, and she would use it to take Boda's life tonight. This was a common honor for Chen Yu and Xie Tingzhou.
"drive--"
Benxiao finally received the order and let go of his iron hoof. In the flying snow, he stared at the warhorse under Boda's crotch and rushed forward. He was as brave as his master.
Chen Yu and Boda were getting closer and closer, they stared at each other intently, neither of them stopped.
Sizzle——
The blades collided violently when the horses passed each other, making a harsh sound.
Shen Yu turned her horse around and rushed towards Boda again.
"Retreat quickly, retreat now." Xiao He was still shouting in the camp.
"Retreat!" Shen Zhao jumped on his horse, "That's not the Xijue reinforcements, that's my sister!"
The spear in Chen Zhao's hand was pointed directly at the face of the Western Jue people, "Change the formation! Set up the spearhead arrow formation!"
The soldiers waved flags in the firelight, and the Xiao family army's outstretched wings closed, with the vanguard spread out in the shape of an arrow and rushing straight towards the Xijue army.
The cavalry slammed heavily into the face of the Western Jue army, tearing a huge hole in the middle of the Western Jue army.
This is the real pincer attack.
Xijue's formation was disrupted, and Boda ordered the infantry to retreat during the melee with Shen Yu.
The Western Jue infantry retreated, and the cavalry
The soldiers went forward.
The Xiao family army has already reached their doorstep, and the catapults are no longer effective. Now all they have to rely on is military tactics and formations.
Xiao He was completely slapped in the face, but he didn't even have time to feel ashamed before he had to return to the battlefield again.
"Damn it."
When Xiao He pierced a Xijue man with his spear, his horse's hoof was also chopped off.
He rolled off his horse, his spear stuck in the bones of the Western Jue people, and there was a momentary delay in his attempt to pull it out.
A moment on the battlefield can mean life or death, and another Western Jue soldier's knife fell towards him.
At that moment, Xiao He forgot to breathe and smelled the scent of death in an instant.
With a swish, the severed hand flew out with the knife.
Xiao Chuan reined in his horse in front of Xiao He, "Hey, why did you fall to the ground? Come, I'll pull you up."
Looking at the hand that was leaning over and reaching out to him, Xiao He had not yet recovered from his daze and was looking at the person on the horse uncertainly.
They haven't seen each other for a long time. The person in front of him is very aggressive and very different from the Xiao Chuan in his memory.
Just as Xiao Chuan was about to reach out to grab it, the hand retracted, as if teasing him.
Xiao He: "Xiao Chuan you!"
Xiao Chuan slashed at the Xijue man who had come up to attack him, and said through gritted teeth, "If you plan to lie here until the war is over, then you'd better lie down and pretend to be dead, but you have to pray to God that you won't be trampled to death by the horses' hooves first."
After saying this, Xiao Chuan ignored him and threw himself into the fight again.
"I don't want to kill a woman." Boda gritted his teeth and said cruelly: "But you have ruined too many things for me, Chen Yu, you must die."
"That depends on whether you have the ability!" Chen Yu waved out Yin Feng, accompanied by a sharp sound of wind.
Boda swung his knife quickly, and every impact of the blade would create a notch on the blade.
Boda has extraordinary strength, but Chen Yu is a woman after all, and lacks a lot of strength.
Every time she gritted her teeth and took on Boda's fierce attacks, and every blow made her arms numb.
There was a stinging pain in the base of the thumb, as if it had been torn open.
The morning light was vaguely visible in the east and thunder could be heard in the distance, rumbling heavily in the wind.
Boda knows his territory very well.
This is not thunder, it is the sound of dense iron hooves stepping on the ground.
He exerted great force with his hands and heard the sound of his knife cracking.
"Retreat!" Boda gave the order decisively.
