Chapter 623: The Three Armies Were Destroyed in One Night
The sound of horse hooves pierced the darkness. Across the field, Galahad galloped on his horse, fear in his eyes, and looked back from time to time.

The sound of footsteps and wheels turning and rolling continued.

Dozens of sculptures holding long spears turned a sharp corner, grabbed the ground and drifted, continuing to chase him. Next to them were the sculptures' war horses, pulling a chariot. The soldiers on the chariot held their weapons horizontally, staring at him with their eyes burning with green fire.

They left the military camp and chased him tirelessly for a distance of twenty miles.

Haragad smashed them in the middle, but after just a few breaths, these terracotta warriors solidified into shape again.

It is impossible to kill it, and impossible to get rid of it.

His thoughts wandered for a moment, and just as he turned back, the hoof of the galloping warhorse beneath him hit a protruding stone on the ground. The horse was already extremely tired, and this kick caused the huge body of the running horse to fall forward with a bang, and there was another bang.

The black warhorse wailed and slid on the ground, but Haragad on the horse jumped off first.

The next second, the sound of rumbling footsteps followed closely behind.

Haragad hurriedly turned around and looked back, dozens of sculptures reflected in his eyes surged up and submerged him in an instant.

Under the night sky, there were constant sounds of pounding, beating, and tearing... until the screams came to an abrupt end.

Xiahou Yuan led several personal guards to catch up with the terracotta warriors, and saw only a pool of rotten meat on the ground.

"I thought we could capture them alive, but they didn't take any prisoners." He turned his horse around and asked his guards to take the enemy's weapons from the pile of rotten meat. "Let's go back and try to save a few people and get some information."

The direction of return was the camp of the Conqueror's Second Legion. Half an hour ago, it had been squeezed by densely packed terracotta warriors, and there were not many people left alive in the camp.

At the same time, 82 miles to the south, was the camp of the Macedonian Legion. The two armies cooperated with each other and marched northward at the same time. However, like the Second Legion, they were now trapped in a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

"Go and inform Ma Mengqi to send a few teams to block the south gate."

Xiang Yu galloped across the plains on his horse, wielding his halberd and pointing to the south of the camp. "Quick, the barbarian commander may break out from there!"

Ling Qi galloped away.

Xiang Yu lowered the weapon in his hand and his gaze fell back on the blazing barbarian camp. On the field to his right, he could hear the sound of heavy footsteps spreading towards him. Then, they continued to squeeze in, following the tall terracotta warriors in front of them.

"These Qin army terracotta warriors were probably even more beautiful when they were alive than they are now."

Xiang Yu looked for a while, then hung his halberd upside down and ran madly to the side of these terracotta warriors, commanding his Ju Lu Lie to chase and kill the barbarian soldiers who escaped from the camp.

From the south, the cavalry came galloping.

"Tell Ling Ming to seal off the south and not let a single barbarian escape!"

Ma Chao, wearing a lion helmet, silver armor and a white cloak, was also stunned by the horrifying fighting.

Unexpectedly, one day he would see the Terracotta Warriors of the First Emperor emerging from the soil and fighting alongside them.

"Generals Guan and Zhang followed Li Jing, but it's a pity that they didn't get to see such a scene."

He whispered something, and far to the south of the Macedonian Legion, a general named Pound spat into his palm.

He gripped the slippery hilt tightly and excitedly shouted to Ma Dai who was not far away: "Bo Zhan, come together!"

In the huge military camp, Macedonian soldiers rushed out with fire and screams. Also rushing out of the gate were Alexander and his generals.

Facing the immortal sculpture, neither the secret techniques nor the military formations were of any use. Now all he could do was to find a way to break through, create distance from these monsters, and then make plans.

However, outside there was a large number of Seres cavalrymen who trapped them near the gate and suppressed them with crazy arrows.

Even Alexander, a veteran of many battles, was unable to organize the defeated soldiers to break through the line. He rushed out several times, but was shot back by wave after wave of arrows.

His arm was also hit by a stray arrow.

"Alexander...we can't leave!"

Ptolemy and Seleucus were once emperors, so they could understand the current situation. They stood behind Alexander with their swords in hand and said, "That's it."

"I'm glad to fight alongside you again here, Alexander!" Seleucus forced a smile on his bearded face.

"Ptolemy you guys!"

Alexander closed his eyes, then nodded and laughed. He turned around with the other two and looked at the sea of ​​fire in the camp.

And... the tall terracotta warriors holding long spears, with green fire in their eyes, rushed out from the sea of ​​fire, sweeping towards the three people opposite and the fleeing Macedonian soldiers.

The ground began to tremble violently under the countless pairs of feet.

"Hahaha!"

Looking at the terracotta warriors rushing towards him like a torrent, Alexander raised his sword with one hand and laughed, taking steps with Ptolemy and Seleucus, and wielded their weapons to meet the rushing terracotta warriors.

The sword tip chopped off the arm of a terracotta warrior, and the next second, the three of them were swallowed up by the countless terracotta warriors who rushed in. They were stabbed by spears, stabbed by swords, and pulled by hands. The laughter of the three of them came to an abrupt end, and their bodies were torn into several pieces and thrown into the air.

Pang De and Ma Dai, who had blocked the wilderness, wiped the blood off their faces and rode their horses to the camp gate. They looked at the three dismembered bodies with wide eyes and could not help shuddering.

If it were them, even if they could hold on for a while, it would be a waste of effort.

I'm afraid that his final fate will be the same as those of these three barbarian generals, with his body torn to pieces.

"I'm afraid there's no one alive inside."

Ma Dai rode on his horse, his eyes looking past the gate, frantically searching for the Qin terracotta warriors fighting with the enemy.

In the field of vision, the stone figurines driving the chariots waved long spears, leaving long lines of blood among the fleeing crowd, and also tore the burning tents into the air.

The chaotic and crowded camp had been completely overturned. More stone warriors holding weapons rushed in from all directions, or chased the Macedonian soldiers who fled to the wilderness. Once they caught up, they stretched out their big clay hands, grabbed the opponent's neck, lifted them up, and smashed them to the ground.

Occasionally, there would be two terracotta warriors fighting for a Macedonian fleeing soldier. One would drag the other down and tear the soldier into two pieces, then throw him to the ground in disgust and continue to chase the next target.

The footsteps sounded like thunder, resounding through the night. The tireless terracotta warriors even chased in a very far direction. When they encountered a big river blocking their way, the mighty stone warriors, tens of thousands of them, jumped directly into the river, walked on the bottom of the water, or built a "bridge" for the ones behind to cross the river.

The situation was completely out of control, or it could be said that Xiang Yu and Ma Chao could not intervene at all. These terracotta warriors did not look like dead objects at all, but more like someone living inside them.

Soon, Ma Chao and Ma Dai came over from the other side. Xiang Yu, who was looking out over the plain, came to his senses and turned his head to look at the two brothers coming one after the other, "Meng Qi, aren't you going to chase them?"

"I feel like... we are of no use."

On the white horse, Ma Chao stuck the tiger-headed golden spear into the ground. He raised his head, the tassel of his helmet fluttering in the wind, and looked deeply at the terracotta warriors fighting all over the mountains and plains. He said meaningfully: "Your Majesty only needs to use these terracotta warriors. There is no need for us to fight at all."

On the side, Ma Dai nodded, but he did not hear the other meaning of his brother's words, and echoed excitedly: "With these Qin Terracotta Warriors fighting in the front, we will be much more relaxed. Maybe we can go back before the New Year." Over there, listening to the two brothers talking, Xiang Yu laughed. Although he was not as good as Liu Bang in politics, he was still qualified compared to others.

"Mengqi, there is something behind your words... But you don't have to worry. We are no longer useful. The terracotta warriors are just secret techniques. In fact, when I came here, I forgot to tell you that after dawn, these terracotta warriors will dissipate. I guess it will be the same as Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu's secret technique. It will take a long time to recover."

"I see. I was worrying too much."

After listening to the story, Ma Chao realized that he had thought too much. He immediately laughed and bowed to Xiang Yu to thank him. His expression became more natural: "Then we will be the military supervisors this time and watch these barbarians being slaughtered!"

"Brother, you change so quickly."

"You will become like this if you stand in the court for a long time."

Listening to Ma Chao and Ma Dai's question and answer, Xiang Yu was quite envious of their brotherhood. Just as Ma Chao's gaze was meeting his, Xiang Yu also smiled and said, "Then let's be military supervisors together. Come on, General Ma, let's take a look around to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net!"

"Please come in, General Xiang!" Ma Chao spread out his hands while sitting on horseback.

"please!"

Both of them laughed out loud at each other's expressions. Only Ma Dai was left watching them riding their horses away. He saw Pang De coming over and said, "General Pang, please come in."

"Get lost!" Pound cursed with a smile.

……

East of Halabytos.

The fighting was in full swing. Lu Bu, with his wolf riders, galloped wildly on his horse beside the vast sea of ​​terracotta warriors. He waved to An Lushan in the back to catch up and aimed at one side of the Carthaginian army's chaotic formation.

There was a fierce look in his eyes, and he shouted, "Don't leave any one alive!"

The Feiyan Hongyun horse neighed and roared, and carried its master on its back and quickened its speed with the sound of rumbling hooves. The four thousand wolf riders behind it roared forward, and An Lushan pressed the iron helmet on his head and tried his best to keep up.

Walking parallel to them were tens of thousands of Qin terracotta warriors, galloping across the plains, and the Carthaginian army spreading ahead like a tide.

With the bravery and terrifying momentum of the Qin army, they charged directly at him.

Han Bani, who was busy organizing and pacifying the army, looked at the loud sound of the army being broken again in front of him. Even though he was calm, he couldn't help but curse.

However, the Carthaginian legionnaires at the front of the formation didn't care whether Hannibal cursed them or not. They were facing a group of lifeless sculptures, and the pressure and fear they felt could be imagined.

In front of their sight, the clay sculpture's face was frozen without any expression, and its tightly closed lips were only slightly open. More and more terracotta warriors also opened their mouths slightly.

Then, they all made a sound, like the sound of a millstone.

"wind!"

At the moment of the fierce collision, the first thing that came to pass was the sound of strings. The crossbow arrows, like locusts, brushed past the heads and shoulders of the terracotta warriors in front, forming a spread-out black blanket.

"Resist!"

Hanbani in the back saw it most clearly. He roared with his eyes wide open, but his voice was not enough to coordinate with the soldiers instantly.

The next second, a flying crossbow arrow pierced a Carthaginian soldier's chest with a bang, breaking it and sending stone chips flying. At the same time, more crossbow arrows followed like a raging tide over an area of ​​several miles. All that could be heard around was the sound of crossbow arrows hitting the endless army formation.

blah blah-

The sound of clay crossbows breaking could be heard everywhere. Some of these crossbows also shot into people's bodies and broke into two pieces.

At this moment, the crowd fell down in an instant like wheat being cut. Hundreds of bodies were wailing on the ground, most of them were injured by crossbow arrows.

However, the next moment, the Qin Emperor's Terracotta Warriors, which had already gained momentum, rushed in like a raging wave!
boom!
Snapped!
The huge waves like waves hitting the reefs washed away the Carthaginian soldiers who were still standing, and the wounded who were wailing on the ground were instantly trampled by the big stone feet and spurted blood.

The limbs and flesh were crushed into a pool of meat paste under the feet that followed one after another.

These terracotta warriors that were charging at high speed also broke into pieces under the impact and scattered all over the ground. The stone warriors behind them followed closely, pounced on them, and continued to charge into the crowd, smashing them, rushing forward again, and then breaking into pieces again, like pile drivers, extending madly into the crowd.

The fragments scattered on the ground were trampled by the stone figurines that kept rushing over. After the rushing soldier figurines left, they gradually condensed and quickly returned to their original appearance.

There were also some with the wrong heads restored, so two terracotta warriors fought with each other, broke off the clay heads, pressed them on their necks, then picked up the weapons on the ground, opened their mouths and let out a low roar of "Ah!", and continued to kill forward with the "torrent".

Less than half an hour.

The Carthaginian army, which had stood in a "sea of ​​terracotta warriors", had been reduced from more than 20,000 men to only a few hundred, and was still struggling to hold on.

In addition to the spear formation, their counterattack was the hammer attack, which could directly smash the limbs, torso, and heads of these terracotta warriors.

However, these stone figurines seemed to come in an endless stream, and the soldiers swinging the hammers were exhausted, and some were even worked to death.

The defense line of several hundred people collapsed soon afterwards. The Carthaginian soldiers behind their shields were instantly pushed away by the huge impact force and smashed into the crowd. Their companions rushed over to rescue them, and their swords chopped the clay sculptures' bodies, splashing countless dust.

"Shut up!"

Lu Bu stopped his horse not far to one side. He looked at the terracotta warriors who had already broken through the last formation of the barbarians and said, "It seems that I won't be needed anymore."

He spat on the ground.

"Why don't these barbarians hold out for a little longer?"

"Marquis Wen!"

An Lushan caught up from behind on his warhorse. He covered his crooked helmet, straightened his body on the horse's back, and looked in that direction following Lu Bu's line of sight.

A smile suddenly broke out on the rough fat face.

"I've fought so many battles, but this one is the easiest, and there are no casualties."

What he got in return was a glare from Lu Bu in front of him.

"Don't compare me to you..." Just as Lu Bu was about to finish the second half of his sentence, a guard beside him suddenly said, "Marquis Wen, look, a terracotta warrior has turned into sand."

Lu Bu reined in his horse, turned in another direction, and followed the direction pointed by the personal guard. He only had time to see the terracotta warrior with only two feet left standing.

instantly.

More and more terracotta warriors gradually turned into mud and sand while running, roaring, and fighting, and flew in the sky.

Dawn broke in the eastern sky.
