The Rise of the Marquis

Chapter 40 The Battle of the Gazebo ([-])

In an instant, colorful colors exploded on the left and right of the guard phalanx at the protruding part of the formation, and the intersecting flames, frost, earth, rocks, and arrows converged into torrents.

Because of the protruding outside, coupled with the left and right pincers, the elite tiger guard phalanx had no time to react and defend, and the door opened instantly. The signature spells of those warlocks were sung by children in the streets and alleys. People talked about miraculous miracles, spiritual fire spell, freezing spell, flying rock spell, awakening ground spell, spring birth spell
In an instant, the exposed left and right wings of the tiger guard phalanx exploded, and in an instant, people turned their backs on their horses and screamed in unison.

Someone ran around in panic and pain covered in flames and set his comrades on fire. Someone was nailed to the corpses of two comrades with a long ice spear pierced through his thigh.Some people were shot by arrows and rolled aside wailing, others were beaten beyond recognition by large flying rocks, and white brains were scattered in the yellow grass.

The air was filled with the smell of roasted human flesh and feces, and the surrounding area was in a mess. The elite tiger guard phalanx was torn into pieces. At least dozens of people died on the spot under the red-brown sky in the yellow river valley. There were even more injuries. The hours are uncountable.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the archers on the two wings of the Heyang Army kept firing arrows. The dense rain of arrows fished out of the chaos, and shot down many elite tiger guards who were too late to raise their shields to defend, quickly increasing casualties.
Until the terrified soldiers on both wings finally got rid of the influence of the ground awakening technique, they caught up one after another and used shields to protect the two wings of the tiger guard phalanx, blocking a large number of arrows and finally stabilized the front.

However, a large number of corpses, wounded soldiers, and broken limbs were sent back in a panic, and the attacking footsteps of the army stopped at a distance of [-] or [-] steps from the Heyang army.

Mu Zhiyong looked at the chaotic front line in front of him, with a large number of casualties, his face had turned livid, and he couldn't hold back.The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations, and everyone's jaws dropped completely. The sparse formation of Heyang soldiers, which had never been seen before, was unexpectedly terrifying.
At this moment, the experienced veteran next to him reminded loudly: "Their warlocks are still preparing spells!"

Mu Zhiyong's eyes were already red, and he immediately ordered loudly: "Don't worry about the infantry in the center, attack the warlocks on the two wings, kill them all, and destroy those archers!"

He roared angrily, and the orderly next to him also felt the general's anger. He didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately rushed to the front position, shuttling through the dense crowd in order to issue new orders as quickly as possible.

As the orders were issued layer by layer, the army array that was still pushing forward to attack the central army began to attack the warlocks and archers on the left and right wings.

"Kill them all, you little bastard, he thought he could frighten anyone by giving Lao Tzu off like this! Isn't it just a patchwork of warlocks, he forgot that as long as my army is killed, those warlocks will be vulnerable!
I want to use his head as a chamber pot! "Mu Zhiyong was furious with a ferocious face. The loss just now not only caused serious losses to the elite of the Tiger Guards, he would definitely be scolded by his father, and he was also slapped loudly across the face.

Thinking about the rhetoric he said in front of many noble colleagues before the war, Mu Zhiyong became even more anxious to defeat the opposing army, and cut off the heads of all those who dared to oppose him, leaving no one alive!
Due to the sparse front line, there was no infantry covering the front. He quickly watched the phalanx on the left and right flanks change direction and rushed towards the warlocks and archers on the opposite side. The infantry were more than a hundred paces ahead, so they had no time to take care of them.
Dead!Mu Zhi always stared at the warlocks and archers on the left, right, and back, retreating in panic.

Embarrass me, I won't let any of you run away!

Furious, Mu Zhiyong said harshly: "Send out all the cavalry, chase those warlocks, and kill them all!"

The veterans around him hesitated: "Young master, we don't have many cavalry, mainly to protect you. Besides, all countries are merciful to warlocks. They are stubborn and like to hug each other for warmth. If they kill and form enemies, there will be endless troubles. I think it's better to catch the little ones and punish them." "

"I will lead the army or you will lead the army!" Mu Zhiyong said angrily, "Do whatever you are asked to do!"

The veteran hesitated for a while, and could only hand in his hands and lead all the cavalry around him over the withered grass and corpses in front of him, and threw them into the battle.

Unlike Heyang, Lishi and other territories in the west and northwest, Maling in the southeast does not have to fight against nomadic peoples such as Loufan for a long time, nor does it have vast pastures, and mostly consists of mountains, humid forests, plains and hills. , so there are very few cavalry in the army, mainly infantry.

Most of their war horses were bought from Daiguo in the north and Lishi and Heyang in the west. The journey was long and the price was high, and most of them only the nobles could afford to ride.

This also resulted in a small number of cavalry troops in Maling City, with a total of only [-] cavalry. They were mainly composed of nobles and their descendants, and they usually served as the general's personal guard.

The cavalry unit quickly rolled up a large cloud of dust, surrounded a large circle along the left and right flanks of the phalanx, and went to the front to fight.

"Hurry up and save the two wings!" On the high slope, Dongfang Jin couldn't help but reminded that the Ma Ling army in front of the central army, which had been severely injured, was giving up the assault on the infantry phalanx in the middle of them, and turned to the warlocks and archers on both sides.

Anyone can see that the warlocks and archers on the two wings are dangerous. Ma Ling's army has put heavy troops on the two wings, trying to kill their core force, and just severely injured dozens of warlocks in their central army.

At this time, it will take time for the warlock to prepare for the next spell. The front infantry phalanx is not in front to protect it. As long as the troops around Ma Ling approach them, it will be over!

When she was extremely anxious, Wang Jian in front of her didn't listen to her at all, and didn't order the warlock and the archer to retreat.

"What are you doing!" she asked, many of those warlocks were also supported by the Han Empire, and they were able to coordinate and dispatch through the prestige of the princess.

"There are two mysteries of this formation, one is the crossfire, and the other is that each fights separately." He said a puzzling sentence.

Then she saw the man looking at the complicated situation in front of him. The crowded battlefield shouted to the messenger waiting beside him: "Order, send cavalry to cover the left and right wings, and the central army will attack. Go straight to the opposite central army. Don't worry about the two wings fighting!" !"

"What?" Dongfang Jin was stunned for a moment, such an order was completely beyond her expectation, but inexplicably, when she heard this order, something seemed to light up in her heart, but she couldn't explain clearly for a while.
