Shushan: Extinction

Chapter 262 Battle Situation
Yang Yun himself is a top military general in the world. In terms of data, if the full value is 95 points, he is at least in the sequence of 99-.

However, when General Gong Tianwu handed him the magical weapon Pojun with an attack power of +15 points, Yang Yun's own martial arts value was obviously much higher than that of other generals!

He could point at most of the generals arrogantly and say:
"Excuse me, I meant that everyone here is a lecher."

After witnessing the death of the three generals, Agula's teeth chattered uncontrollably.

He had seen powerful generals, but had never seen such a pervert - the weapon in his hand was so fast that the trajectory could not be seen clearly. All he could see was a flash of silver light, followed by a fountain of blood gushing out.

The white-robed cavalrymen following this unrivaled general were also extremely elite. They crushed the scattered enemy formation like an avalanche, leaving limbs flying wherever they passed.

"Devil!! This is definitely the devil."

Agula buried his face in the bloody mud and whimpered in pain. He heard the sound of golden gongs coming from behind the enemy camp, which was the signal to withdraw.

At this moment, the fierce general's horse's hooves were trampling a general flag with the word "Wei" written on it into the mud. Wherever the tip of the spear pointed, the enemy troops fell like wheat waves.

Then, General Yinjia pulled the reins, and the white horse under his crotch stood up, neighing like a dragon, then turned the horse's head and quickly galloped away from the battlefield. The entire white-robed cavalry behind him immediately turned into a torrent and chased after it.

Li Si finally understood why the veterans said that the most terrifying thing on the battlefield was not death, but encountering a truly powerful enemy.

That kind of despair is like an ant watching a mountain collapse, with huge rocks rolling down with the momentum of "I'll destroy you, what does it have to do with you?"

***
The sky gradually darkened.

Looking down from the sky, there are three places where a lot of fire is shining on the vast land.

The first place is Sansheng City.

The second place is the Langshan Army’s camp.

The third place, of course, is Gong Tianwu’s unit that came to reinforce.

Although Sansheng City had been destroyed at this time and the enemy had even broken into it, the fierce resistance they faced made it difficult for them to move forward.

Not only that, when Yang Yun, the unparalleled wise king, led the white-robed army to defeat the Yulin Guards, the killing army that invaded the city and the brave army had no choice but to retreat.

After all, the appearance of Yang Yun was like a sharp dagger against the waist of the Langshan Army, ready to stab them at any time!

The Killing Army and the Elite Army, who were engaged in difficult street fighting in the front, had no way to concentrate on fighting at all. They had to worry that the camp in the rear would be breached at any time.

In fact, strictly speaking, the total strength of the Langshan Army still had an advantage at this time.

Their number reached nearly 14,000, but there were more than 2,000 wounded among them.

There are only three or four thousand soldiers in Sansheng City who can take the initiative to fight.

The reinforcements brought by Gong Tianwu were mainly composed of the Ye family army formed by Ye Yuanjing, with a number of over 3,000 people.

After several battles during the day, only about 400 of the 1,000 elite white-robed soldiers brought by Yang Yun were able to continue fighting. Fortunately, the white-robed soldiers attached great importance to the wounded and rescued more than 300 of them.

Therefore, if the total number of troops on the Chen family's side is added up, it is only about 8,000 people.

However, the entire situation is now clearly beginning to turn unfavorable to the Langshan Army, as they are now being attacked from both sides.

Therefore, at the suggestion of the generals of the Langshan Army, they planned to launch a night attack on the enemies behind them, and their reasons were very sufficient:
First, darkness can effectively suppress the enemy's long-range attack advantage.

Second, the enemy had just arrived and only set up camp on a gentle slope after dark, and the camp looked a bit hastily set up.

Third, a night attack could easily turn into a melee, and in a melee, the elite troops would obviously have a great advantage. The Killing Army that advocated a night attack obviously believed that they were more elite.

Then the killing army rushed out quietly. After about a cup of tea, there were loud shouts and sounds of killing, and it sounded like the battle was very fierce.

However, in the end, the Killing Army suffered a disastrous defeat. Not only did only half of the 2,000 soldiers who went for the night attack return, but even two deputy commanders were killed in the battle! !

Faced with such an outcome, a shadow cast over the hearts of almost everyone in the Langshan Army, because it seemed that they had never won against this late reinforcement.

The next day, Wei Qu got up as soon as it was light.

The king hardly slept the whole night. After leaving his tent, he went straight to the watchtower built in the camp, then looked into the distance and suddenly his eyes narrowed.

It turned out that the enemy camp that seemed to be simply set up yesterday was surrounded by a circle of caravans.

These caravans were specially made, with dozens of iron-clad wagons connected end to end, with long spears sticking out like a forest, and the wagons were three meters high. The wagon shafts were deeply embedded in the compacted soil, and the gaps between the wagon boards were filled with rammed earth and gravel.

There was an arrow tower behind every three vehicles. On the watchtowers covered with cowhide roofs, crossbowmen were wrapped in wolfskin coats, and the white breath they exhaled was clearly visible.

Ten steps outside the village wall, there was a circle of sharpened wooden stakes inserted diagonally, with ropes hung between the stakes, and bells swung in the wind on the ropes - the bells would jingle if anyone who attacked at night accidentally touched them.

The door hinges of the village gate were wrapped in felt soaked in butter, and made a dull whimper when they were opened and closed.

There are also many bonfires in the village. Dry cow dung mixed with fuel is burning in the iron braziers, and the bluish-white flames lick the copper pot hanging above.

The patrolling soldiers walked across the frozen ground, their footsteps in unison.

In the center of the camp, a black banner with the word "Ye" written on it fluttered violently in the morning breeze.

Standing next to the flagpole were four elite warriors wrapped in bear skins, with shiny copper whistles hanging around their necks.

The end of the whistle is tied with three red strings, which are respectively woven into horse mane, human hair and wolf tail. It is said that as long as the military whistle is blown, ghosts and gods will retreat three feet.

The whole military camp gave Wei Qu the feeling that it was well-organized and calm!
Yes, under the pressure of an army three times larger than theirs, the soldiers on the other side seemed to have no feelings at all. They just did what they were supposed to do, just like in their daily lives. Such an army, so calm! So relaxed! !
The three parties were in a state of standoff throughout the morning, but the situation inevitably deteriorated.

Because of the disastrous defeat of the Yulin Guards yesterday, the cavalry of the Langshan Army could no longer block the battlefield.
Especially when the fierce general wearing the Mahakala mask started to fight and galloped nearby with his cavalry, the people of the Yulin Guard looked at each other in bewilderment. Even though they had more people, no one dared to fight.

Wei Qu's face turned pale when he saw this scene, and he immediately awarded a generous reward to anyone who dared to fight - regardless of the outcome, the person would be promoted three levels and rewarded with a famous horse!
As the saying goes, there will always be brave men when there is a big reward. A general named Gong Lin, confident of his bravery, rode forward alone, waving a red flag and challenging Yang Yun to a fight.

This man's martial arts skills are indeed extraordinary, and he actually lasted ten rounds against Yang Yun.

But then Yang Yun suddenly changed his tactics. A sharp blade suddenly popped out from the front of Pojun, turning the spear into a knife and slashing down, directly cutting Gong Lin away, and one of his arms flew into the air with blood.

Gong Lin was dizzy after falling to the ground. He endured the severe pain and finally climbed up, but the sharp tip of the gun was pointing at his throat and he was unable to move.

At this time, Gong Lin said angrily:

"I don't accept it! You rely entirely on the advantage of weapons!!!"

Yang Yun smiled faintly, put away his gun and rode away, leaving behind a sentence:

"You can hold out for more than three rounds under my hands, which means you have some potential. I will spare your life today. You are welcome to come and seek revenge in the future."

At this time, the city wall of San Sheng City in the distance was already crowded with civilians and soldiers watching the battle. When they saw Yang Yun win easily, they shouted "Unparalleled Ming Wang" and cheers rang out one after another.

Under such circumstances, the generals of the Langshan Army looked at each other, knowing that with the enemy's morale low, it would be even more difficult to capture Sansheng City.

At this time, more than a dozen messenger cavalrymen had already galloped out of the Ye army camp, bypassed the Langshan army camp, and galloped towards Sansheng City.

The Langshan Army could only watch as the two sides reestablished contact, and their morale was bound to drop again.

Under such circumstances, Wei Qu simply convened a military meeting. Many generals who followed him spoke one after another, saying that the only way to break the impasse was to concentrate the troops and turn back to defeat the reinforcements behind them first.

Otherwise, there is no need to wait any longer for this battle, just retreat as soon as possible!
So, starting from the afternoon, the Langshan Army launched a fierce attack on the army built by Ye Yuanjing.

In such a grand scene, Ye Yuanjing demonstrated amazing strength.

The chariot formation he personally built played a great defensive role, and the special military force of the Ye Family Army that he established shined in this battle.

The elite troops responsible for the main attack were badly beaten in front of the Ye family army. When faced with a special tactic: the Mandarin Duck Formation, the elite troops, divided into groups of five, were extremely uncomfortable and were almost completely restrained.

In just less than half an hour, the elite army was driven out in a very miserable state, and they lost more than seven or eight hundred people in this short period of time.

What’s even more terrible is that the casualty rate of officers was alarmingly high, even the deputy commander of the Xiaorui Army, Yue Heng, who led the team this time, died in this battle! !
The reason for this is that the officers of the Xiaorui Army are obviously dressed differently from ordinary soldiers, and the crossbowmen on the dozen arrow towers standing in the Ye Family Army camp give priority to shooting these unlucky guys.

Yue Heng was targeted by three crossbowmen at the same time, and he died on the spot just as he climbed over the caravan.

Even so, the Langshan army charged three times with great courage, but they were defeated every time, and each time they persisted was shorter than the previous one.

Of course, it must also be pointed out that once the Ye family army was attacked, Yang Yun would lead the remaining 400-odd white-robed cavalrymen to fight, galloping back and forth on the periphery, ready to launch a surprise attack from the side if there was any disagreement.

This forced the Langshan Army to allocate several times more troops to keep an eye on and intercept him.

Not only that, Sansheng City would definitely not sit idly by. When they found that the Langshan Army had started to attack, they immediately prepared to attack from the front.

Although it was most likely a feint attack from Sansheng City, the Langshan Army did not dare to take the risk!
What if they really come? So we must divide the people into groups to be on guard, and the number of people cannot be insufficient, after all, we are here to protect the king.

The next day, the Langshan Army learned from their lesson and prepared to launch the fourth wave of attack on the Ye Family Army. This time they launched an all-out offensive at all costs, but unfortunately the battle ended in failure. They only attacked the Ye Family Army for less than ten minutes before retreating.

Why did this happen? It was because there was another big problem with the Yulin Guards!!

Every time the enemy attacked, Yang Yun would lead the remaining 400-odd white-robed soldiers to fight, wandering around the battlefield, and the Yulin Guards would have to allocate at least three times their strength to confront and provide protection.

However, this time, when the two sides were maneuvering and looking for an opportunity to fight, more than a thousand extra cavalrymen suddenly emerged from the Ye family army camp, quickly joined up with Yang Yun’s army, and killed the Yulin Guards by surprise!!!
When the Yulin Guards noticed that the number of the opposing cavalry had increased suddenly, they immediately lost their will to fight, turned their horses around and fled in panic.

In fact, the more than one thousand newly joined cavalrymen were just a tribe of grasslands who came to provide assistance. There were even women and children of twelve or thirteen years old among them. Their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of the White Robe Army.

Unfortunately, the Yulin Guards were already frightened by the killing of Yang Yun, the unparalleled Ming King, so how could they have the time to distinguish these subtle details?
As a result, nearly two thousand cavalrymen were chased and killed for six or seven miles, and more than half of them were killed.

Not only that, Yang Yun also led this group of people to attack the flanks of the attacking Xiaorui Army and the Killing Army. They were originally fighting fiercely with the Ye family army who were defending in the high ground in the front, and even relied on their numerical advantage to gain the upper hand.

However, after being hit so hard by Yang Yun, they immediately lost all fighting spirit and chose to retreat.

That afternoon, the Langshan Army was even more desperate to discover that a new grassland tribe had come from afar and quietly joined the enemy army.

Strictly speaking, it was the wolf-dog that helped a lot, as most of these grassland tribes worshipped the wolf god.

If the wolf-comb takes Red Hair and Big Ears with him to go among these tribes and play tricks, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort.

At the same time, the caravans sent out by Cui Ziyang continued to release sugar-coated bullets, selling tea bricks, iron pots, liquor, etc. to these "Wolf God believers" at very cheap prices.

In this way, they can satisfy their religious beliefs and get very favorable benefits.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to get these tribes to spare some manpower to "serve the Wolf God."

Moreover, these warriors with faith are very brave on the battlefield. As long as they are ordered in the name of the Wolf God, they will definitely carry out the instructions loyally.

Under such circumstances, the Langshan Army fell into a very embarrassing situation. If they continued to attack, they would not be sure of victory.
