Chapter 473: Encircling the Vanguard
Arrows like locusts covered the sky and enveloped the garrison troops on the provincial road. The entire sky was dark and even the bright sunlight was blocked. The sky seemed to suddenly become dark, making people feel heartbroken.
On the bare road on the provincial highway, the guards suddenly faced such a large-scale attack on arrows. Suddenly, there was chaos, screams and curses, and the scene was out of control.
The listless guard soldiers, who were originally shining under the scorching sun, suddenly burst out with vitality. The desire to escape inspired the potential in their bodies. They took steps and rushed to escape, trying to escape from the shooting range of the rain of arrows.
There were constant calls on the provincial highway, war horses rushed around, and soldiers rushed to trample on their lives, looking like a doomsday scene.
But the rain of arrows arrived in a flash, and the garrison soldiers with fear had just turned around and didn't run a few steps. The arrows falling from the sky had already fallen like raindrops.
The sharp arrows easily shot through the bodies of the guard soldiers, shooting through their heads without helmets, and blood splattered, like cutting wheat, and they fell into a pool of blood.
The injured soldier who fell to the ground let out a painful wail and stretched out his blood-stained hand to try to stand up, but with the sound of puffing, the whistling arrows came again. His body shook a few times, rolled into the pile of corpses with a puff, and there was no reaction again.
Faced with the attack of strong bows and crossbows, the unprepared guard soldiers were now fish on the chopping board, and they could slaughter and scream without any use.
In just a few minutes, the entire provincial highway had become a hell on earth. The ground was covered with corpses, as if they were plowed by arrows. The dense arrows turned the provincial highway into a hedgehog.
The vanguard Liu Yi's van also did not escape the disaster. Because of the large target, the entire van was shot into a sieve. Liu Yi was directly penetrated by more than ten arrows and died so much that he could not die again.
Faced with the baptism of the rain of arrows, the guards fell in groups, and there was a wail between heaven and earth. The arrows tore their bodies, shot through their shields, and shattered their hopes.
Many garrison cavalry even turned into blood gourds on behalf of their horses. When the rain of arrows stopped, the entire provincial highway had turned into a sea of corpses and blood.
"Hosh! Kill!"
"Hosh! Kill!"
As the arrow rain fell, the infantry of Zhenxi Army attacked. The soldiers of Zhenxi Army, with a stern face, held up their swords and roared up from all directions.
The garrison soldiers hiding under the shield were still panicked, and the soldiers of Zhenxi were already running wildly.
One side was waiting for the morale to be like a rainbow, and the other side was still in shock when a long journey was still in shock. Just one meeting between the two sides, the guard soldiers were chopped down and turned over, with blood pouring down.
On the battlefield, swords collided, people shouted, horses neighed, soldiers on both sides slashed and slashed hard, the scene was bloody and cruel.
"Die——" The general of the Zhenxi Army, Hei Diao, roared and cut off the head of an enemy army, and then strode forward to smash the two enemy troops who were rushing towards him, making their flesh and blood shattered.
These soldiers of the West Town Army released from the prisoner-of-war camp were like seeing bloody beasts, venting their depression in their hearts.
Lin Chuan even saw a powerful soldier in the West Town Army tore the body of an enemy army into two halves, and his internal organs flowed all over the ground. The soldier in the West Town Army seemed to feel tasteful, and actually stuffed his flesh and blood into his mouth and started chewing it.
The soldiers of Zhenxi Army even vented their venting chopped the enemies in front of them into meat sauce.
Seeing these crazy and powerful Zhenxi Army, Lin Chuan was secretly afraid that if he had only one step under Wangjing City that day and did not force them to surrender, the Nanchuan soldiers under his command might have suffered a devastating blow.
The soldiers of Zhenxi Army were brave and good at fighting. They slaughtered the terrified guard soldiers to their fullest, and took decisive and ruthless actions.
Those originally small-scale resistance collapsed instantly under the powerful offensive of the Zhenxi Army.
The garrison soldiers cried and ran away, while the soldiers of Zhenxi Army carried blood-dropping swords to chase after them. As long as they chased them, they would just chop them up.
This ambush station was a one-sided massacre from the beginning. Although the garrison soldiers who reacted made slight resistance, it was insignificant for the powerful Zhenxi Army.
The Zhenxi Army pursued the fleeing garrison soldiers for more than ten miles. It was not until the last fleeing garrison soldiers were brought back with their heads chopped down, and they stopped their pursuit.
"The army in the west has won thousands of victories!"
"The army in the west has won thousands of victories!"
Standing in the sea of corpses and blood, these soldiers who were as violent as wild beasts let out a deafening roar, like showing off and venting. They have been so frustrated these days.
When the Rain King Longjing led the main force of the garrison army to the ambush battlefield, Lin Chuan had already led the Zhenxi Army to retreat to Basto, fifty miles away.
Seeing layers of corpses, dead military flags, broken spears, the battlefield was covered with blood, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
The huge number of corpses attracted countless birds and beasts. They were having a delicious meal in the sea of corpses and blood, and even the flying mosquitoes came to join in the fun.
Blood solidified and the corpse was piled up like a mountain. Seeing that his 20,000 vanguard soldiers were slaughtered completely, no one left, the rain king Long Jing couldn't help but the huge blow, and whistled to the sky: "Liu Yi was wronged me-"
Yu Wang Longjing showed sadness, and his heart was filled with blood. If it weren't for biting his lip tightly, he would have spewed out blood.
The great nobles who followed the Dragon King of Rain were even more unbearable. They talked freely at the cocktail party on weekdays and were calm.
But now facing this tragic battlefield, they all looked pale, and many people couldn't help but vomit. They had never seen the tragic battlefield, and had never known the preciousness of life.
"Revenge!" This is what Rain King Longjing wants to do most after calming down.
Twenty thousand troops were wiped out, but no one of them was left behind. For the Rain King Longjing, this was a naked provocation.
"His Royal Highness, what should we do next?" The army was frustrated and morale was depressed. A nobleman asked Long Jing.
"The whole army will set off, target Barstow!" Yu Wang Longjing ordered with a gloomy face.
The Rain King Long Jing has always been arrogant. Now that his vanguard has been annihilated, if he is scared to stop or retreat in shame, then where will his face be placed and how can he command the governors and nobles of many provincial governors and nobles?
So now, whether for the sake of face or to shock the nobles, he had to march towards Barstow.
Now the Rain King Longjing urgently needs a big victory to wipe out the decadent aura and improve his prestige. If he continues to lose, then the hearts of the people will be dispersed and his dream of emperor will be shattered.
