Chapter 894: Tragic [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

"A defeated army is a defeated army after all, and a pile of mud cannot be helped!"

Maodun ordered to stop advancing.

Apart from his own Mingdi Guards, it was impossible for those defeated troops who gathered together to burst out combat effectiveness and combat qualities comparable to those of the Red Flame Cavalry in just a few days.

The only reason we are following them now is because they have no other choice.

However, if they continued to flee, these defeated troops would likely become rebels, who would in turn kill them and hand them over to Bingzhou.

"Look for the central flag of the reserve camp!" Maodun suddenly said.

Their only way to survive now is to launch a surprise attack on the Red Flame Cavalry Reserve Battalion Command Post, kill the reserve battalion commander, and cause chaos in the reserve camp.

At this time, Maodun's terrible battlefield sense was fully demonstrated. Even though he was surrounded by the four major divisions of the reserve camp, he was able to accurately find the reserve camp command post from the encirclement of the four major divisions, and found a way to break through the encirclement of the four major divisions, and directly found the location of the reserve camp's central army.

"The central army was attacked!" Fenglinhuoshan and the four major divisions of the reserve camp were extremely shocked after receiving the message from the central army.

Who could have thought that the remnants of Maodun, who were besieged by them, actually jumped out of their encirclement and found their command center.

The main general was attacked and the three armies were fighting to the death. No matter what the previous plans were, now everyone must rush to the central army, work hard, and support the central army's flag.

"Terrible!" The reserve battalion command post, which had been commanding in the rear, did not expect that Maodun could find them so accurately, appear suddenly, and launch a surprise attack on the command post.

In order to encircle Maodun, they had sent out all the elite troops from the four major divisions, and only the Guarding Banner Battalion with less than a thousand guards was left in the entire command center.

"General, let's retreat!" The captain of the guard wanted to pull the officers away.

The lieutenant general of the reserve battalion looked at his colleagues. No one had expected this result, but running away was not their style.

If they fled, they would become a disgrace to Bingzhou and would be the first general in Bingzhou to be defeated and flee by the enemy.

They cannot afford this reputation, nor do they want to bear it.

"Everyone!" The lieutenant general put on his armor, walked out of the tent, and stood under the big banner so that all the soldiers in the banner guard camp could see him.

"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to leave a suicide note!"

Pian will continue to speak.

Bingzhou provides universal cultural education to its elite troops, so as the flag-guarding battalion, they are the elite among the elite and naturally have a high level of cultural literacy, and are able to write letters.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers of the Banner Guard Camp left their suicide notes with the Inspector, who took them back to Danlin City. As for whether they would be sent back to their homes, that depended on whether they could survive.

"My men, the time has come for His Majesty and Bingzhou to test us!"

The lieutenant general stood under the great banner and watched the Inspector take away all the soldiers' suicide notes. Then he turned to look at the young soldiers under his command.

These young soldiers, who were still a little immature and had fear in their eyes, suddenly became awed after hearing the words of the lieutenant general. They no longer had any fear of death, but were filled with passion.

Nurture a scholar for a thousand days and use him in one moment.

They have been nurtured by Bingzhou since they were young, enjoying Bingzhou's resources and receiving God's grace. Now is the time for them to repay Bingzhou. Therefore, there is no need for any battle mobilization, a test is enough!
"Are they crazy?" Maodun led the cavalry to charge towards the reserve army's banner, but found that the banner guard camp did not form a defensive formation, but instead formed a battle formation. For a moment, he felt uneasy.

"Kill!" The commander of the reserve camp did not hesitate at all. He turned over and rode on his horse, leading the flag guard camp to rush towards Maodun's army.

The flag guards also followed their commander firmly, holding their weapons tightly and looking with red eyes at the enemy who was getting closer and closer.

"Draw the sword and kill!"

As the Mingdi Guards rushed to the front of the Banner Guarding Camp, the soldiers of the Banner Guarding Camp suddenly drew their swords, jumped, moved, and beheaded!
In just a moment, the Mingdi Guard who was rushing forward was killed before he could even react.

"This..." Maodun was shocked. Cavalry is naturally defeated by infantry. This has been a law since ancient times and no one has ever been able to reverse it.

But after just one encounter, these soldiers of the Banner Guarding Camp were like possessed by the god of death, and they directly killed the fastest Mingdi Guards under their horses.

If there were other generals from the Central Plains present, they would definitely be able to recognize that this was the fighting skill of the Qin Iron Eagle Warriors.

But the fighting skills of the sharp warriors could not last long.

"Kill!" Maodun did not retreat and ordered to continue the attack.

This is their only way of retreat. If they cannot kill the commander of the reserve camp and cut off the reserve camp's flag, they will face a comprehensive encirclement and suppression by the entire reserve camp.

"Kill!" The commander of the reserve camp also did not retreat and commanded the flag-guarding camp to continue the attack.

"Kill one and we'll break even, kill two and we'll make a profit!" The soldiers of the Banner Guarding Camp laughed loudly and continued to charge towards the enemy with red eyes.

Even if they die, they will die on the way to attack.

"Madman!" Maodun felt a little scared when he saw the fearless and brave guarding battalion.

If the Bingzhou army is like this, then can he really leave the grassland alive and retreat back to the snowy forest alive?
Yes, Maodun was afraid and no longer dared to make trouble in the rear of the Bingzhou army and affect the war.

Now Maodun only wanted to retreat back to the snowy forest when the reserve camp fell into a brief period of disorder due to the death of its commander, instead of continuing to make trouble in the rear.

A reserve battalion has such a fighting spirit and determination to die. Who would have imagined how crazy the angry Bingzhou main force would be after they knew that they had killed the chief commander of the reserve battalion.

In just half an hour, the corpses surrounding the reserve camp's banner had piled up into a small hill.

There were only less than ten soldiers from the banner guarding the central army, but the banner still stood firm.

As the commander of the reserve camp, he still stood under the banner, waving his long sword whose blade had been bent by chopping, and not allowing anyone to get close to the banner.

Maodun's soldiers became frightened, their eyes dodging, and they shrank back, not daring to move forward. They kept looking at Maodun behind them, hoping that he would order them to stop the attack.

Even though they all knew that the flag-guarding battalion in front of them was exhausted and had no fighting power left, they still did not dare to move forward.

Maodun took a deep breath, knowing that he couldn't go on like this, so he spurred his horse forward, charging towards the hill of corpses, towards the commander of the reserve camp, and his spear slashed across the sky...

The commander of the reserve camp looked at the spear that was flying past. If he was in his prime, he would have been able to block it. Unfortunately, now he could see the trajectory of the spear, but his body could not support him to resist. The world was changing, his vision was changing, and he took a last look at the large banner flying high, and then closed his eyes forever.
