Chapter 172
Was the horse legs that were not equipped with armor plates!
"Kill... kill... kill..."
In an instant, the two armies collided, and the terrifying impact of the Iron Pagoda sent the shield soldiers in the front row flying!
One thousand five hundred Iron Pagoda soldiers charged, bringing up a field of blood mist!
But the Danyang soldiers were worthy of being the elites among elites!
Relying on their flesh and blood, they waved their weapons as if they were not afraid of death, smashing toward the horse legs of the Iron Pagoda!
"Clang... clang... clang..."
For a time, facing the move of smashing horse legs, Zhao Yun's Iron Pagoda suffered serious casualties!
After one round of charging, the speed slowed down by quite a bit!
By the time they rushed out of the Danyang soldiers' formation, Zhao Yun's expression had become exceptionally solemn!
One thousand five hundred Iron Pagoda soldiers actually lost two hundred people in the collision just now!
These were two hundred Iron Pagoda soldiers!
"So this is the Danyang soldier!"
Zhao Yun's heart was bleeding; every Iron Pagoda soldier and warhorse was the elite of the elites in Lin Yang's army!
Let alone two hundred people!
Even one hundred people, Zhao Yun couldn't bear to lose!
Since the Iron Pagoda was formed, this was the first time there had been such huge damage!
Even when facing the attack of Zhang Chao's thirty thousand great army!
His Iron Pagoda didn't have these casualties!
"General, we can't charge anymore!"
A personal guard on the side came over and reminded him in a low voice!
The warhorses under their command had reached their limit after the previous charge!
The reason why the loss was so great just now!
Was because the warhorses had consumed too much in the previous charge!
Plus these ten thousand Danyang soldiers, all armored, and holding heavy weapons like iron hammers!
Under the cavalry charge, they died!
But the heavy weapons smashing into them, or the horse legs, had power that was not weak at all!
"Change horses!"
Although he was unwilling, Zhao Yun still maintained his reason!
The ten thousand Danyang soldiers in front of him were indeed scattered!
But they hadn't lost their combat power!
The warhorses under his command had reached their limit!
Zhao Yun couldn't take the Iron Pagoda to fight!
They had already won this battle!
Such precious things as the Iron Pagoda couldn't be consumed here!
"Go, the entire army retreats!"
As Zhao Yun stopped, the lieutenant also commanded the remaining Danyang soldiers to retreat toward Huaiyin City!
Zhao Yun's heart was bleeding!
His heart was also bleeding!
The charge just now had pierced through the entire army formation!
If they hadn't been prepared in advance and specifically made the formation loose!
He couldn't imagine how many casualties there would be!
But even so, the casualties under his command still exceeded three thousand!
And this was only one round!
If the opponent came for another round!
The Danyang soldiers would also collapse!
Taking advantage of now, he could only lead the troops to retreat quickly!
"Kill... kill... kill..."
Following the retreat of Zhao Yu and the Danyang soldiers, Zhao Yun, who had changed horses, understood that it was impossible to catch up with them!
The Iron Pagoda wanted to pick up speed, but it was simply too slow!
It was better to swallow the remaining soldiers and expand the fruits of victory!
In an instant, more than one thousand Iron Pagoda soldiers flew out, heading straight for the battlefield!
Watching Zhao Yun give up on his side, the Danyang soldier lieutenant also breathed a sigh of relief!
A long moment later, on the battlefield
"My lord has ordered: Cao Bao is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
Following the order, the next moment, on the battlefield, the shouts were deafening!
"Cao Bao is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Cao Bao is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"Cao Bao is dead, those who surrender will not be killed!"
"......."
The soldiers who had long been scared out of their wits, hearing that those who surrendered would not be killed, instantly put down their weapons and chose to surrender!
On the entire battlefield, following the explosion of the black powder and the charge of the Iron Pagoda, Tao Qian's sixty thousand great army completely collapsed!
Zhao Yu, standing on the city wall of Huaiyin City, watched the battle below end, and his heart was bleeding!
It's gone!
It's really gone now!
One great battle, and the five thousand cavalry under the lord were gone!
Even the twenty thousand elite Danyang soldiers were beaten until only seven thousand remained!
The other troops brought from Xiapi and Peng Cheng suffered even heavier losses, with nearly twenty thousand left outside!
One great battle, and more than forty thousand troops of the lord were gone!
"My lord, what face do I have to see you!"
As a confidant under Tao Qian, at this moment, Zhao Yu's tears flowed down, and he was filled with grief!
The soldiers beside him, hearing this, couldn't help but be moved!
A few days later, in Xuzhou City
"Big brother, it's been several days already; I don't know if Lin Ziyuan and Cao Bao have started fighting!"
Mi Fang was muttering in the mansion; for this battle of Huaiyin, Tao Qian didn't have the slightest thought of sending the local Xuzhou faction!
Zhao Yu, Cao Bao, and the troops brought by both sides!
All counted as Tao Qian's forces!
Mi Fang, Especially Mi Zhu, Chen Gui, and this group of Xuzhou faction forces were not sent at all!
"Alright, victory or defeat is still unknown, let's wait first!"
Especially Mi Zhu's heart was also anxious, but he suppressed his temper!
He had bet on Lin Yang!
If Lin Yang lost!
The Mi family would definitely be suppressed by Tao Qian!
"Lin Ziyuan, you must not let me down!"
Especially Mi Zhu prayed in his heart, and the next moment, he heard a rush of footsteps!
"Master, latest news, the battle of Huaiyin, Lin Ziyuan won, a great victory!"
The servant came in a hurry; hearing the news, in an instant, Especially Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, and the others couldn't sit still!
"Won? And a great victory?!"
