Chapter 186: Kill the general and defeat the enemy army

Xuanbaoqi's divine arm crossbow was so abnormal that it shot directly through the armor and passed through behind him.

If they keep shooting like this, even if Chen Mo can win this battle, he will still kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to himself.

The simplest and fastest way to reduce losses is to kill enemy generals.

With a loud shout from him, the soldiers fought bravely towards the military camp.

Xia Zhining was also covered in blood from the killing. With the adrenaline soaring, she had adapted from the panic after killing the first person to now, and rushed to the military camp with Liu Ze, following closely behind.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

There are not only crossbowmen in the military camp, but also archers. When the divine arm crossbow changes arrows, it is the archers who take over. Although the power is not as good as the divine arm crossbow, it is very powerful.

"嚚." A feather arrow flew through the air and nailed the pigskin round shield held high by Sun Meng.

The equipment of the Guards is also stronger than that of the two guards.

The arrow was very powerful. After it penetrated the buckler, its momentum remained unabated, and it pushed forward a short distance before all the kinetic energy was consumed.

Sun Meng looked at the trembling tail feathers of the arrow, and his whole body was filled with excitement. As a veteran who had been on the battlefield, this arrow could tell the difference between the opponent and the Tianshi Army.

The arrows of the Tianshi Army would fall off when they hit the round shield and were weak and weak, while the arrows of the Yuzhou Army were powerful and heavy.

The Janissaries advanced.

But next second.

There was a "bang" sound.

The round shield penetrated directly, killing a Janissary soldier hiding behind the round shield.

The God's Arm Crossbow has been loaded with arrows.

There were deserters in twos and threes among the soldiers. Speaking of which, they had never fought such a difficult battle. The few battles they fought with Chen Mo before were all smooth sailing, but now they have killed and injured dozens of people in just the charge. Look, As his companion fell down, fear surged into his heart, and he would be lying if he said he was not afraid.

But he was quickly killed by Chen Mo, Sun Meng, the squad leader, and the team leader.

This is an iron rule that Chen Mo has set during training.

If the private flees, kill the private. If the leader flees, kill the leader. If the captain flees, kill the captain.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Chen Mo shouted loudly.

The charge is imminent and cannot be retreated. Once retreated, it will be a huge rout.

Xu Jie in the military camp raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this.

It seems that the Heavenly Master thieves are not a ragtag group.

The attack is decisive and the attack is powerful.

If we defeat this bandit army tonight, we must organize it carefully. They are all good soldiers!
After one round of divine arm crossbow firing, the archer stepped forward again.

But this time, the personal troops led by Chen Mo suddenly reached in front of them.

"Throw it away." Chen Mo roared loudly.

The pitcher who was hiding behind the cover of the janissaries immediately took out the fire bomb, lit the fuse of the fire can bomb, and threw it towards the military camp. At the same time, he shouted: "Help me, Mr. Lei!"

"Lei Gong help me!"

"Lei Gong help me!"

In the shocked eyes of many soldiers in the military camp, dozens of clay pots were thrown in.

Some fell at his feet, and some were caught by others.
But in the blink of an eye, these clay pots exploded with an ear-splitting noise. The soldiers who caught the pots had their palms blown to bits. The people next to them were unable to escape and were covered in blood and flesh on the spot.

More injured by pieces of iron and pottery pots, they were lying on the ground rolling and wailing.

The soldiers in the rear army trembled at the loud noise. The lieutenants next to Xu Jie all shrank their necks and instinctively looked at the sky, really thinking that Lei Gong was helping the rebel army.

boom-

After only a moment of hesitation, dozens of loud noises came from the front.

The soldiers of the former army were blown away and fled in all directions, shouting words such as "Thunder God shows his power, run quickly".

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Mo took the lead and rushed into the military camp: "Kill!"

Sun Meng, Su Wu, Xia Zhining, Liu Ze and others followed closely.

Without the suppression of the crossbowmen, the soldiers of the two guards also came in.

At the same time, Xu Jie's personal barracks also killed the frightened former troops who fled, stabilizing the situation in an instant.

When Chen Mo rushed in, he almost instantly ran into the enemy formation set up by the Yuzhou Army.

The swordsmen and shieldmen in the first row blocked the front, and the spearmen from behind thrust out fiercely.

At this time, personal force is reflected.

Chen Mo slapped the horse's back, jumped up, drew a semicircle in the air, and slashed out with the invisible sword energy of the semicircle.

Among the swords and shields in the first row, the shield in their hands was just like paper. The man and the shield were cut into two pieces at the waist.

After landing, Chen Mo swung his sword again, and the seven or eight soldiers around him were instantly reduced to pieces. The soldiers on the left and right were so frightened by the formation that they dared not step forward to die.

Then Chen Mo rushed into the crowd alone and used his innate spiritual energy to pick up a big knife on the ground. The two guards behind him followed and directly freed his hands, holding two knives, as if possessed by the god of death, chopping melons and vegetables, and going around The front army killed in a circle, and hundreds of people were so frightened that they pushed back. Within a moment, they were killed and their blood flowed into rivers, and they fled back.

But this method consumes too much physical energy and innate spiritual energy.

After a while, Chen Mo was gasping for air, but the effect was astonishing, and thousands of people killed did not dare to step forward.

Chen Mosha was covered in blood and his original face could not be seen.

The morale of the two guards behind him greatly increased under Chen Mo's influence. More than 1000 people marched forward together, and the soldiers shouted "kill, kill, kill" three times. The sound shook everyone, and the momentum was overwhelming.

The two armies fought hand to hand, relying on their morale and bravery.

The Yuzhou army was shocked by the momentum and wanted to retreat.

As a veteran, Xu Jie knew that he could not retreat at this time, otherwise he would be defeated.

"Leave the thief to me and kill him!"

The soldiers handed over the horse. After Xu Jie took it, he coordinated with dozens of soldiers to kill Chen Mo.

Xu Jie was not cheating and could not see Chen Mo's power. As for what the other party had just shown, he could also do it. Therefore, as the commander-in-chief, he had to restrain the thieves and let the other party continue killing like this, which would be extremely harmful to his own side. unfavorable.

Sure enough, with the general leading the way, the Yuzhou army's morale was greatly boosted and they moved forward.

The soldiers in the first three rows held up their spears and held the barrels of their guns tightly. A row of soldiers with shields came forward and advanced in sync. After meeting, the soldiers with shields squatted down, and the soldiers in the back row with guns thrust out, waiting for the enemy to counterattack, holding shields. The soldier stood up to block.

When the enemy withdraws his weapon, the soldier holding the shield squats down again, and the soldier holding the gun can thrust out again, catching the opponent off guard.

Just when the Yuzhou army below had the upper hand and was about to crush them.

As the leader, Xu Jie was directly slashed in half by Chen Mo's sword. The surrounding soldiers were also affected and fell to pieces.

Blood spurted out violently. Chen Mo cut off Xu Jie's head with one knife, lifted it in his hand, and shouted: "The enemy general is dead, why don't you surrender quickly!"

At the same time, the Yuzhou Army's banner was also chopped down by Xia Zhining's sword.

Yuzhou Jun looked at the head held by the thief's leader, then looked around him, and was suddenly shocked.

The deputy general looked up and his eyes almost fell out of his head. The boss he had followed for many years was beheaded and held in his hand.

This scene undoubtedly gave him a blow to the head. The deputy general was dizzy and depressed. Suddenly a spear came and he was hit hard on the back. He was knocked to the ground on the spot.

Su Wu grinned. Judging from the other party's appearance, he should be a general or something. This was a great achievement.

The deputy general was stunned. Just as he was about to stand up, the tip of a spear was pressed against his neck. Several brave guards rushed over and surrounded the deputy general.

Then Su Wu fired another shot, knocking the deputy general unconscious.

The general was killed and the deputy was captured.

The Yuzhou army, which was still in the upper hand, lost its backbone and was instantly defeated.

"Run away."

Some soldiers dropped their weapons and fled outside the military camp.

A defeated army is like a dam destroyed by an anthill. As long as one person escapes, the people around him will be affected by it and will also flee, which is why there is a supervising team.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the main general is dead, the deputy general is captured, and the supervising team is also confused.

Jiandu's team did not stop them, and the Yuzhou army began a large-scale rout.

"I won't kill anyone who surrenders. Chase me!" Chen Mo mounted the Snow Dragon Jun and began to pursue, unhurriedly harvesting the fleeing infantry.

If any young general wanted to gather the defeated soldiers into formation, he would immediately attack them and disperse them in an instant.

Chen Mo didn't push too hard, and there were ways to chase deserters. He had to always give the enemy the illusion that they could successfully escape.

Finally, under the temptation of saying that those who surrender will not kill, they will surrender when they see that their companions do not kill, and they can no longer run anymore.

Xuan Baoqi still let most of them run away, but he had no choice but to rely on him alone to catch up with dozens or hundreds of people.

Chen Mo's harvest is quite rich.

These fleeing soldiers would throw away their weapons in order to run faster.

Chen Mo seized dozens of divine arm crossbows, and there could have been more. Many of them were destroyed by cupping bombs before.

In addition, there are draft animals and war horses.

It is a pity that this is a light cavalry army and does not carry any baggage. Of course, even if it does, Chen Mo cannot take it away.

There was no food, only a few days' rations that I carried with me.

More than 3000 people were killed, injured and captured. The enemy's chief general was killed and the enemy's deputy general was captured. Our own casualties were [-].

Although the casualties were relatively high, it was still a great victory.

After all, if you win with less, the opponent's equipment will be better, and the quality of the soldiers will be better.

This result is considered to be within Chen Mo's acceptance range.

After cleaning the battlefield, the army returned to Tianshui Town with the prisoners.

"What mistake did the enemy make tonight?"

Just after the war ended, Chen Mo found Sun Meng, Han Wu and others to learn from their experiences while the iron was hot, which could also improve his military quality.

After that, he summarized what he did not do well.

Finally, it’s a matter of how to deal with the prisoners.

Sun Meng proposed to kill them all, but this time he captured thousands of people.

If there is a mutiny, it will be a big trouble.

Secondly, how to provide food rations for thousands of people?

This is in Yuzhou.

If you can't afford it, you will drag yourself down.

Therefore, killing can end it once and for all.

Xia Zhining raised an objection: "Killing prisoners is beneficial to us now, but in the long run, we will fight to the end wherever we go."

　Let’s talk about extra updates. I’ve been busy during the day recently and have to get up very early in the morning, so I can’t add extra updates in the early morning. I will definitely start paying back slowly next week.
