Huangfu Yongxian's loud shout did not scare Vulture Fang, but it made Timur anxious.
It was just Batu's sneak attack, and Temur didn't care at all; coupled with the pincer attack of Wu Weiyang's 10,000 elite cavalry, it was actually not too serious.
Because there are too many people behind Timur... Any two tribes can at least hold back Wu Weiyang and his men.
But if the front army collapsed at this moment, Timur would start sweating profusely.
Chi Li knew that Vulture Fang might not fight to the death, so how could Timur not know that? No matter how you look at it, other tribes are not loyal enough to die for you. The worse the situation is, the more he can only trust his own Golden Wolf Army.
On the left and right of the rear army, the Hu cavalry came out in all directions and met Batu and Wu Weiyang respectively; at the same time, the central army moved greatly, and Timur's Golden Wolf Army finally pressed forward on all fronts.
Vulture Fang was just thinking of retreating when he heard shouts of killing from behind him and the overwhelming Golden Wolf Army rushed over.
Vulture Fang had to suppress his urge to retreat, and he became more excited.
This situation... Most of the Golden Wolf Army really abandoned their horses and came to fight the Han army. This kind of thing would have been impossible before.
Timur needed to maintain his absolute deterrent rule over the tribes. If he really wanted to cripple the Golden Wolf Army, he would be in trouble even if he won a great victory - for example, if he, Vulture Fang, could secretly ally with Boye, he might be able to replace them. The sincere cooperation between Boye and Timur was limited to this battle.
Timur could only drive the other tribes to fight bloody losses, and his own Golden Wolf Army was only used as the finale to determine the throne. But at this moment, Timur, who was stretched to the limit, in order to stabilize his Vulture Fang, actually pushed the Golden Wolf Army to the front regardless of the losses...
Military is nothing more than a continuation of politics. Today, the various tribes on the grassland are not as capable of fighting as the Han people, even though they have the advantage in terms of military strength.
This was also one of the reasons why Zhao Changhe was anxious to march north. He would not let the immortal god completely revive and crush the entire grassland. Vulture Fang was thinking, but before he could make a new judgment, the Golden Wolf Army had already joined his tribe and rushed into a group with Huangfu Yongxian's army.
People kept falling on both sides, and the soldiers in the rear quickly took their places. Arrows rained down from above, and the sand below soon turned into a vast expanse of cinnabar.
New vultures circled in the sky, watching the ant-like killing below, waiting for the night when the sound of killing would fade away.
"Eh... what's going on?" Vulture Fang's heart suddenly moved.
The Batu tribe was destroyed, with heavy casualties. They hid in the Gobi Desert for the entire winter, lacking food and clothing. Even if they received support, it would not have been much due to limited transportation capacity. They are still half-dressed, with some wearing only half of their leather armor and some riding horses so thin that their bones can be seen. They are typical "beggars". Even if this tribe came out in full force, it would seem that there were many people, but their fighting power was not good enough. It was thought that they would be easily defeated.
However, at this moment, even the well-equipped Wu Weiyang tribe that attacked from the east was caught in a tough battle, while the Batu tribe in the west broke through all the way. The several tribes that Timur had arranged to defend were almost collapsed at the first touch, and were easily defeated by Batu, with heavy casualties, and they were unable to defend themselves at all.
What's going on? This beggar tribe is more elite than Wu Weiyang's army
Timur's roar came from the sky: "Ying Wu, you are a hero of the Heavenly Ranking, but you hide in Batu's army and pretend to be a general. Do you have any shame?"
Vulture Fang: "..."
Ying Wu's gentle and calm voice spread throughout the battlefield: "There is nothing we can do... The Khan broke the defense, the Shaman broke the defense, the King of Zhao broke the defense, Li Shentong broke the defense, even my niece broke the defense... But I don't know why I am stuck at that hurdle, and I can't find the door to break through. In the world of gods and demons, the triple secret treasure is just a small pawn. Even someone as powerful as Vulture Fang is the pioneer of the Khan. Isn't it normal for me to drive for the King of Mo Nan?"
Vulture Fang twitched the corner of his mouth.
I am a triple secret treasure, but I have just broken through to the initial stage, and there is Huangfu Yongxian standing in front of me. Even if Ying Wu has not broken through the imperial realm, he is half a step away. The tribes that used to bully Batu's "beggar army" are facing a Ying Wu who is half a step away from the imperial realm. How can they fight
You are a half-step imperial realm, and you bully ordinary tribal soldiers! This horse bandit is more shameless than both the Hu and Han sides. The real etiquette and music are broken, and there are no rules at all.
"Boom!" A golden spear shadow fell from the sky and rushed straight towards Batu's troops.
Ying Wu suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand and slapped the spear shadow away into the sky, and then went to the ninth heaven again: "Since the Khan has invited me to fight, I will sacrifice my life to accompany him."
Even more shameless... Timur might have won slightly over Sanniang, but he was greatly distracted by the chaotic situation. He had to command and dry the ground at the same time, so he could only be suppressed by Sanniang. If he wasn't strong enough, he would have been defeated long ago. At this time, Ying Wu showed up and attacked Sanniang. You have the nerve to say that this is called "sacrificing your life to accompany a gentleman", isn't it taking advantage of the illness to kill
Yes, is Yuan Sanniang also a member of your bandit brotherhood... Are all brotherhoods like this
What's even more disgusting is that the rear army has been messed up by him. What's the point of being polite and not participating in the battle at this time? At this time, even if the Batu tribe is a group of pigs, it is impossible to be wrapped in dumplings. They are all warriors who have been on horses all their lives. Who doesn't know who? Once the other side is in chaos, this beggar's horse is enough to turn the whole battle upside down.
Vulture Fang frowned and retreated behind the Golden Wolf Army without a trace.
"Boom!" A shocking explosion was heard in the sky. It was unknown what kind of powerful move Temur encountered from Ying Wu, and he was roaring wildly.
The terrifying energy spread in all directions, strong winds swept in, and all the clouds in the sky dispersed.
Some people who still had enough energy to look at the sky could see Ying Wu and the two Sanniangs retreating in three directions, with Timur in the center like a god of war.
Timur no longer had the heart to look after the battle and went all out... If Vulture Fang had seen such a figure in the past, he would probably have surrendered to the ground, but at this moment it didn't make much sense.
"Let's go." Vulture Fang whispered to his tribal confidants around him: "The Han army is mostly infantry. Even if they win, they can't fight a decisive battle. At most, they can rely on Batu and Wu Weiyang's 10,000 or 20,000 people to pursue all parties. In this way, there will definitely be a powerful tribe left, which will rise in the northern desert in the future and replace Timur... In this case, whoever is prepared will be the one. Batu can become the king of the southern desert with his little strength, so why can't we be the king of the northern desert?"
His confidant knew what he was thinking and whispered back, "But Khan, this battle is still at a stalemate and there is no winner yet. If we lose and flee, it's fine. Changshengtian may not punish us. But if we withdraw now, Changshengtian may blame us..."
"The situation is clear... With these consecutive attacks, the Han army's fighting spirit is getting stronger, while ours is getting weaker. The balance has tilted." Vulture Fangs gritted his teeth and whispered, "Let us take on the toughest bloody battle first. Timur's intentions are obvious. He is also concerned about me. He knows that I am the one who is most likely to challenge him, and he intends to wear down our strength. Now that so many brothers in our tribe have been killed and injured, we have done our duty to the Eternal Heaven. Do you really want us to stand here and bleed to the last drop of blood? Why? Because Timur is so shameless?"
The confidants fell silent, and ambition began to burn in their eyes.
The tribes on the grasslands are all about the survival of the fittest. Apart from the belief in Changshengtian, there is no gratitude or righteousness. Batu's War Lion Tribe was able to rise in the past, so why can't their Vulture Tribe rise now? They are all big tribes, and the War Lion Tribe has lost its leader on the Earth Ranking. Batu, a weakling, can become the king. How can their Vulture Tribe still have the former king and the triple secret treasure of today!
Is Eternal Heaven going to punish us? Batu is still alive, isn't he? If the Golden Horde is really defeated, Eternal Heaven will have to support new tribes in the future. How can they punish us? Are they really going to force us to fight to the last man? Why!
Besides, we don’t know what the battle situation is like between Zhao Changhe and Huangfu Qing... Let Changshengtian take care of himself first!
The entire Vulture Tribe whispered to each other and gradually retreated silently. Soon, there was no trace of the Vulture Tribe among the enemies that confronted Huangfu Yongxian head-on, only the Golden Wolf Army themselves.
However, no matter how "calm" the retreat of tens of thousands of people was, the turmoil in the actual situation was clearly reflected, and the front army was in chaos!
How could the experienced Huangfu Yongxian not see it
"The Vulture Tribe has been defeated! All troops attack!" The voice was not only transmitted to their own side, but also to the enemy.
"The Vulture Tribe has been defeated!"
"The front army was defeated!"
They felt a wave pushing them back in front of them, a typical sign of defeat and retreat. The Golden Wolf Army at the back, unaware of the situation, began to become confused among themselves, and the Vulture Tribe that pushed in instead threw the Golden Wolf Army formation into chaos.
"Swoosh!" Huangfu Yongxian stabbed down a general of the Golden Wolf Army with his spear, raised his spear and shouted: "Press forward!"
The Han army pressed forward like a tide, like knocking over dominoes. The Golden Wolf Army began to disintegrate from the front and spread all the way to the center.
This time it was a real “front army collapse”!
Batu led his men to charge left and right. Seeing the turbulent situation ahead, he also raised his sword and shouted, "The Golden Wolf Army is defeated. Brothers, charge for me!"
"Clang!" Wu Weiyang blocked the scimitar of a tribal leader and shouted: "The Golden Wolf Army has been defeated, you still want to resist!"
The retreat of the Vulture Tribe had a ripple effect, and the entire battle situation began to collapse.
Batu and Wu Weiyang thrust their two sharp knives into the rear, and Huangfu Yongxian pushed forward fiercely. The seemingly all-over Hu cavalry became a mess, and countless tribes began to seek their own retreat and flee on horseback. Among them, the Vulture Tribe, which was the first to prepare, assembled all on horseback and charged to the rear, causing chaos in the rear. Those who didn't know would have thought they were the front of the Han army...
The great collapse will happen in an instant!
Under the pressure from Ying Wu and Sanniang, Timur paid no attention to the battle situation for just a moment, and couldn't even tell whether Vulture Fang was really defeated and retreating or doing it on purpose. The army formation below had completely collapsed, leaving only one-sided slaughter and pursuit.
The wolf flag was broken, and there was a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. The screams echoed all over the field and reached the sky.
The blue sky is vast, but the Eternal Heaven has no favor to it.
"Conserve your strength! Retreat as a whole!" Timur decisively issued a final roar, no longer bothering to care about other tribes, only trying to preserve the strength of his own Golden Wolf Army.
Unfortunately, whether it was Batu, Wu Weiyang, or Huangfu Yongxian, who was pressing forward, everyone's primary target was the Golden Wolf Army. "Swoosh!" Sanniang's snake whip blocked Timur's path and smiled: "Khan, please be patient, the outcome between you and me has not yet been decided..."
Timur was furious, and his spear swept towards Sanniang like crazy: "Get out!"
Like pulling a spear to cut off the water, this blow was like hitting the sea water, without causing any effect at all, and then the heavy punch behind him came again.
Timur felt a little exhausted both physically and mentally. If there was a type of opponent a warrior least wanted to face, it would definitely be someone like Xuanwu. Her aggressiveness might be average, but when it came to being clingy, she could cling to people without any temper at all.
"Bang!" Timur returned with a heavy punch. Just as he was about to collide with Sanniang's fist as usual, he suddenly found that his hand was stuck in some strange space channel and was being deflected.
"The Khan is getting impatient... This is unbecoming of a warrior who has experienced many battles."
Win five! Space-related power!
Because of this slight deviation, his fist failed to match Sanniang's fist, and the force of his fist hit nothing, while Sanniang's fist had already hit his ribs fiercely!
Timur suddenly exerted his utmost strength, trying to deflect Sanniang's punch, and at the same time he twisted his body to try to dodge.
However, this twist was restricted by something, as if it was stuck in a quagmire, and its movement slowed down for half a beat.
"Bang!" The Xuanwu's fist hit Timur's ribs heavily. Timur spit out a mouthful of blood, swung his spear to sweep away Ying Wu, staggered back, and went north in the blink of an eye.
Sanniang and Yingwu's mouths were bleeding. After all, Timur's practice was better than theirs, and the recoil was not pleasant. But neither of them said a word. Sanniang merged into one, and together with Yingwu, they chased after him silently.
The only thing he wanted was not to kill Timur, but to prevent him from having the opportunity to gather his troops and to prevent him from taking part in the ground battle.
Because the battle situation on Zhao Changhe's side relies on the transfer of humanity's destiny and the collapse of the power of faith.
That is our real purpose. From the beginning to the end, the strategy has been clear.
… …
"Ding ding ding!" Among the Han troops that were pressing forward on all fronts, one army formation did not move.
That was the left wing of Chi Li's rear army.
Cui Yuanyong's boasting did not come true. He thought that if Chi abandoned his strengths to attack the enemy, it would definitely not be effective. Facts have proved that when people have the courage to die, the power they unleash is far beyond usual.
He really pushed Cui Yuanyong back all the way, tearing a gap in the army formation, and then the 3,000 light cavalry around him took advantage of the gap and rushed in, having penetrated a short distance.
If he were given more time, he might be able to drill a hole through it.
Unfortunately, the life-and-blood struggle here did not have time to take effect before the collapse at the front.
If this side is breached first, the Han army might fall into chaos first, and the Vulture and the Fang might not retreat. If the Vulture and the Fang do not retreat, the whole battle situation will not be ruined, and there will be enough foundation to slowly clean up.
But it's slow here... just a little bit slow after all.
The retreat of Vulture Fang left Chi Li completely alone, facing death.
"Let's go, young master!" The deputy general beside him hurriedly said to Chi Li, "Cui Yuanyong's troops can't stop us. We can still turn around and fight our way out! The Han people have a saying, as long as the green mountains remain, there is no need to worry about running out of firewood."
The Chili scimitar and Cui Yuanyong's long sword collided again, forcing Cui Yuanyong to retreat a little, and he reined in his horse and was about to turn around.
But after reining in the horse, it never galloped again.
Outside the gap in the military formation that he had torn open, there stood silently a group of shirtless men, and Situ Xiao, their leader.
Neither army made a move. Cui Yuanyong stood behind him, Situ Xiao blocked the front, and Chi Li turned around on his horse to look around. Nearly half of the 3,000 elite soldiers he brought with him had been killed. All of them were covered in blood, and the sand on their faces was mixed with blood and sweat, so it was impossible to recognize anyone's face.
But you can see the disbelief and sadness in everyone's eyes.
After fighting so hard until this point, I thought I had a chance to disrupt the opponent... but in the end I was like a clown.
"Do you think we are like clowns on the stage?" Chi Li suddenly asked.
"No." Situ Xiao put away his nonchalant expression and clasped his fists and saluted: "We are both No. 1 in the same list. We used to be unwilling to accept it and didn't want to admit it... Now it seems that I accept it."
Chi Li smiled slightly and turned to Cui Yuanyong behind him: "According to what you told me a few days ago, excluding that pair of lunatics, who will win and who will lose in the fight between us mortals?"
Cui Yuanyong sighed, "I lost. I didn't stop you just now. If I had given you more time, I would have committed suicide to apologize."
Chi Li nodded: "If I commit suicide now, can you let them live?"
Cui Yuanyong was silent for a long time, and then whispered, "No. You are all heroes, but the more heroes you are, the more enemies you are. Once you let the tiger go, there will be endless troubles."
Chi Li looked up at the sky, as if expecting some response from Changshengtian, but in the end there was no response and Changshengtian lost his favor.
He whispered, as if talking to himself: "Just surrender... Cui Yuanyong said it, but if you surrender, the Han army, which claims to be a civilized army, will not kill you."
Cui Yuanyong couldn't help but said, "You can, too."
"I know I can." Chi Li smiled: "You surrounded him but didn't kill him. It's because you cherish the hero and want to persuade him to surrender. But you don't dare."
Cui Yuanyong and Situ Xiao looked at each other without saying anything. Of course, they had some feelings of respect for heroes, but they were also a little entangled. If a man like Chi Li really surrendered, would you dare to trust him? Who would dare to guarantee this? If something really went wrong, how would they be responsible
"Forget it." Chi Li smiled and said, "It's hard to catch up with Zhao Yue in martial arts; the faith of God has no favor. I don't know what the meaning of living in disgrace is... If my existence can prove anything, it is that there are more people on the grassland than just Batu and Vulture Fang."
He paused, and said to Cui Yuanyong in a relaxed tone: "In the next three years, I will not see the souls of Vulture Fang coming to be judged in Changshengtian. Don't blame me for looking down on you in Changshengtian."
After saying that, he drew the sword across his neck and slashed it fiercely, as if he didn't want to hear the response "Your Changshengtian is about to disappear."
But Cui Yuanyong responded: "It won't take three years."
Chi Li smiled, blood spurted from his throat, and he fell off his horse with a bang.
The two armies looked at Chi Li's body in silence. The spring breeze blew by, bringing up sand all over the ground.
This was the brightest star of the young generation on the grassland. He once dominated the young generation in the Middle Earth, and no one could stop him except Yue Hongling. His death seemed to symbolize the decline of Changshengtian, which was inevitable.
In the distance, the sounds of shouting and killing were still loud. The brutal massacre and chase spread from the north of the Gobi Desert all the way to the royal court on the Mobei grassland.
