Before Xiao Muqing could finish his words, Nan Yan was already fuming with rage, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Muqing, you're already at the end of your life, and you still dare to spout such shameless words? Today, Jueqing Mountain shall be the place where you die! " With that, he turned around and ordered, "Attack with full force! Kill all of the Thief Feng, and don't leave a single one alive! "
Nan Yan spoke casually, but the warriors of the Huben Army were all frowning. They were already deep in the Jueqing Mountain, and the stones on the ground were even more dense, they even had to be careful when walking, it would be even harder for horses to go up, furthermore they had to run while charging forward.
Seeing that he had finished giving out his orders, and the soldiers behind him all stood up like wooden stakes, without moving at all, Nan Yan's anger grew even stronger, and he questioned loudly: "What? Didn't you all hear this marshal's order? "
"General, the unfavorable cavalry charge here ?"
"An unfavorable charge? Even if you step on the corpse, make a path for me! Up! Anyone who dares to disobey or shy away will be punished by military law! " At this time, Nan Yan seemed to have lost his mind, his eyes had even turned red from the blood stain.
Seeing that, the other generals of Huben Army dared not speak anymore. They could only bite the bullet and carry out his orders. The fourth legion would be the first to go out to battle on Huben Army.
In the darkness of the night, once again in a place filled with shattered rocks, the cavalry's charge was similar to their own suicidal attempt, with countless of Mo Army cavalrymen rushing forward shouting and slaughtering their way through. The horses mysteriously fell to the ground, and the riders on their horses started to roll down one after another, but they did not even have the chance to climb back up, and were immediately trampled by the cavalrymen behind them.
The fourth group of Huben Army had charged all the way through, and along the way, they died, leaving behind corpses and flesh on the ground. In the end, it was just as Nan Yan had said, they carved out a path of blood.
When they used all their might to near the Feng Army, an even more terrifying nightmare began.
Following the shouts of the Generals in the midst of the Feng Army, everyone raised their bows and arrows one by one and started firing at the incoming Huben Army.
Even if they encountered an enemy arrow formation, they could still rely on their incredible speed to rush to the front of the enemy with the least amount of damage. But right now, they were simply unable to run, the broken stones on the ground were used to the utmost to restrain the cavalry's charge, and the slowly advancing cavalry soldiers, in front of the large scale arrow formations, had become a group of moving arrows.
It was dark inside the mountain and the light was dim. The main forces of both sides could not see the situation of the Fourth Regiment clearly, and even the main forces of the two sides were not able to see it clearly. The only thing that could be determined from the miserable cries that sounded from the center of the battlefield was the fact that the Fourth Regiment had suffered heavy casualties.
Nan Yan frowned, he turned his head and shouted: "Fifth Regiment, go, and support the Fourth Regiment."
"Yes!" "General!" The leader of Fifth Regiment hastily responded as he led his men and rushed out of the array, moving forward.
When Fifth Regiment was almost close to the range of the Feng Army archery formation, the regiment commander hastily ordered the entire army to stop moving forward, because he did not see any signs of the fourth regiment in front of them. Let alone humans, there were not even horses. What was going on? There were no fights on Feng Army's side, meaning that the Fourth Regiment was still unable to reach the enemy before they reached them, but there were no Fourth Regiment in the center of the battlefield, could it be that more than ten thousand of their riders had disappeared into thin air?
He did not know the details, so he sent out a small team to investigate.
The group did not ride a horse. Instead, they moved forward stealthily with their waists. They walked forward for a short distance, and the thick smell of blood wafted towards them. Everyone's expression changed, and they looked at each other before boldly continuing forward.
Walking forward a distance, the feet of the leading Mo Soldier suddenly weakened, and he fell head first, afraid that he would attract Feng Army's arrows, he clenched his teeth tightly and did not make a sound. Just as he was about to crawl up from the ground, he suddenly felt a softness beneath his body.
He slowly raised his head and looked around with his squinty eyes. The ground was littered with corpses, human corpses mixed with horses, horses mixed with human corpses, stacked on top of each other, there were countless of them. Many of them were like hedgehogs, their bodies filled with arrows.
He was so scared that he shivered. He kept climbing back, and before he could take two steps back, he bumped into his companion who had followed him. At this time, other people also clearly saw the situation on the field.
An entire regiment, more than ten thousand cavalrymen, had been annihilated in an instant. This was too unbelievable, too shocking.
After an unknown period of time, the ten of them finally recovered from their shock, looked at each other, then turned around and ran back as if they had seen a ghost. When they returned to the Fifth Regiment, and saw the regiment commander, the ten of them were drenched in cold sweat, all of them panting. General, Big... "Something bad has happened, it's over, it's all over ?"
The regiment leader was confused by his incoherent speech. He immediately lowered his body and slapped Junior Captain and said sternly: "Tell me, is everything over?"
This slap was effective, it cleared Junior Captain's messy mind a lot, he said with a trembling voice: "The Fourth Regiment is finished, they all died under Feng Army's arrow array. General, let's quickly retreat, if we were to forcefully charge, I'm afraid we will end up like the Fourth Regiment!"
"Huh?" After hearing these words, the commander of the Fifth Regiment was also shocked. It had only been a short period of time, but the fourth legion had actually died, how is this possible? " Are you sure? "
"No!" Absolutely not! The Fourth Regiment have all died under the Feng Army Arrows, General! " As he said that, Junior Captain's tears almost fell.
Aiya! Feng Army was not something to hastily welcome a battle, they had clearly come prepared! With the Fourth Regiment as an example, the Fifth Regiment leader didn't dare to rashly go out to attack again. He sent Deputy General to report the situation to Nan Yan and request the commander to order him to retreat.
Deputy General did not dare delay any longer and immediately turned her horse, returning to report to Nan Yan.
After hearing the Fifth Regiment Deputy General's report, Nan Yan was shocked and angry at the same time.
The entire 4th Regiment was destroyed? He hadn't even heard the sound of a battle before the tens of thousands of soldiers of the fourth legion had all died? This information was like a bomb that exploded in Nan Yan's mind, blowing up his brain.
What do we do now? Should he continue attacking? This was the only thing that Nan Yan could consider. If he were to be scared off by the Feng Army, his Regiment Chief's prestige in the army would be swept away, and his Huben Army's prestige would disappear as well. However, if he continued to fight without knowing the situation, there would probably be more losses.2
At this time, Nan Yan had already become a tiger, he could not advance nor retreat. In the end, he steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely to the Deputy General: "Don't retreat! Feng Army has already entered the path of death, becoming the end of the line, our army must take this chance to annihilate the Thief Feng, if you dare to retreat without permission, this commander will definitely punish you severely! "
"But General, Feng Army ?" The Feng Army Arrows Formation is strong, and the Jueqing Mountain's terrain is not suitable for our troops to charge into, so we must force our way through the enemy, yes ? "Yes, he's looking for himself ?"
Rustle! Nan Yan took out his sword and stabbed it into Deputy General's throat, and bellowed: If you dare disturb the army's morale, this marshal will take your head!
Seeing Nan Yan, who was about to lose all reason, Deputy General was dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, his tears flowed down, as she held onto Nan Yan's sword and said in a sobbing tone, "General, please leave a path to survival for my ten thousand brothers in Fifth Regiment ?"
This sentence, completely enraged Nan Yan, who roared: "Audacious! Do you really think this marshal doesn't dare to kill you?! " As he said that, he raised his sword and was about to cut down on Deputy General's head. At this time, the generals on both sides came forward and stopped Nan Yan, and said together: "Calm down general, calm down general!"
"The Fourth Regiment has been completely wiped out so quickly, it can be seen that the attack power of Feng Army is extremely strong. If we just send out our Fifth Regiment to attack it, I'm afraid that the odds are against us, General!" The Huben Army general, Chen Hao, tried to persuade him.
His meaning was to redirect his Fifth Regiment back to consider further, but Nan Yan misunderstood his meaning, nodded, and said: "What you said makes sense!" While speaking, he waved his hand and said: "Sixth, seventh, and eighth squads, all join hands with Fifth Regiment to defeat the enemy. As for the other squads, follow this commander's lead, as long as Feng Army Camp is disrupted by our army, our entire army will charge, annihilate the Thief Feng!"
Although they did not get the result they wanted, the Deputy General s of the Fifth Regiment were still barely able to accept that. After all, there were three more legions following the attack of their own army, and if they tried to attack, they might not necessarily be unable to break through the formation of the Feng Army. As long as they could break through the formation of the arrows and get close to the Feng Army, then the Feng Army would not be their opponent.
He took a deep breath and cupped his fists towards Nan Yan: "General, we will do our best, and attack the enemy!"
Hm! That's more like it! It was like something a general should say. Nan Yan's expression finally eased up a little, he nodded, and said with determination: "Tonight, my army vows to fight to the death with the Thief Feng, and either kill the fish or break the net! "Success, we will return to the camp to celebrate. If we fail, then you and I will be buried here. See you in the nine springs!"
He will have the will to die, and no greed for life. As the commander of the army, Nan Yan was willing to sacrifice his life to fight with the enemy, causing the soldiers below to be greatly encouraged. The morale of the generals of Huben Army immediately rose, and they all intervened: "We will follow the general, and live and die together, and advance and retreat together!"
The complete annihilation of the fourth legion did not cause Huben Army to retreat, but instead instigated an even fiercer attack. Under Nan Yan's control, the fourth regiment was called out to attack the Feng Army Camp together.
