Chapter 318 The Disappearance of the National Prestige Army
The sound of wind and rain blows through the trees in the courtyard. Where in the world can I find such a sound?
The great achievements in destroying the rotten and the dry can be let loose, which can damage the reputation.
As the iron buoys moved forward, they were like towering iron towers. The powerful impact was like an overwhelming tidal wave, bringing a sense of oppression to the infantry as heavy as a mountain. Fear spread wildly in their hearts like weeds.
The infantry's reliance on the formation is almost like their life. Once the formation is broken by the iron buoy, the soldiers will instantly become like lambs to be slaughtered, at the mercy of others.
After breaking the formation.
The elite cavalry of the king's personal guard raised their swords again and rushed into the army like wolves.
Guo Zian originally brought his team here just to provide reinforcements.
Who would have thought that his central army would become the main force without him knowing it.
Thirty thousand against thirty thousand, infantry facing cavalry.
This is simply a dead end with no chance of winning.
Harierjie held a long axe in his hand, with a fierce look in his eyes. Seeing a general in the army, he didn't care who he was. He squeezed his legs against the horse's belly and rushed towards the opponent with great momentum.
The iron tower-like body rushed forward like an evil ghost from hell, coming towards him with endless murderous intent.
Guo Zian was so frightened that his face turned pale and he was stunned.
Facing the long axe swung by Harieljie with tremendous force, he seemed to be under a spell of immobilization and had no intention of dodging at all.
"Don't hurt my Lord!"
A deputy general roared at the top of his lungs and raised his spear to stop the attack without hesitation. However, with a "click", the spear was broken.
Harierjie showed no mercy. With a backhand, he swept the long axe across the waist like a gust of wind. The deputy general was like a kite with a broken string, and was knocked off his horse with a scream.
It was not until then that Guo Zian woke up from his dream and was heartbroken.
"Oh my god!..." He wanted to turn his horse around, but found it was too late. In a panic, he could only roll off the horse and ran towards the middle of the team in a panic.
"Stop him, stop him!" Guo Zian screamed hysterically at the top of his voice, his voice had changed in pitch, and he felt as if there was an evil ghost chasing him from behind.
As expected, when Hari'erjie saw someone protecting his master, he was sure that this was a big fish and would not let it go easily.
He rode his warhorse and charged forward recklessly, slashing and hacking at any officer or soldier who tried to stop him without mercy, and chased after Guo Zian regardless of the consequences.
After all, someone was trying desperately to stop him, so his speed slowed down significantly.
The crescent axe was covered in blood, which kept dripping down the axe blade. The blood on the armor was flowing like a bloody stream.
In this crowded battlefield, the only thing in his eyes was the back of Guo Zian's head as he fled in panic.
At this time, Guo Zian's helmet had disappeared long ago, and his hair was disheveled.
A spearman glared at Harieljie and stabbed him hard in the waist.
Bang!
With a sharp sound of metal collision, the spear failed to pierce the heavy armor.
Harierjie's eyes were wide open, he stretched out his hand to grab the spear head tightly, and raised his hand to swing with an axe.
In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, bursting out a bright red, accompanied by a white sticky substance.
One hand tightly grasped the long axe, and the other hand firmly grasped the long spear.
Harierjie stared at Guo Zian, who was still trying to escape, with a look as if he wanted to eat him alive.
Harieljie took a deep breath and threw the spear out with all his strength.
"Pfft!"
The spear pierced through Guo Zian's back like lightning.
"Ah~ Yeah~ Ha~ Oh my god, oh my god~ I want to go home, I want to..."
Guo Zian let out a heart-wrenching wail of pain, the sound was so miserable and horrifying!
The wailing sound instantly alarmed the soldiers around him.
Several people hurriedly helped Guo Zian up. The spear behind him was still stuck straight in his chest. As his body trembled, the spear shaft also trembled...
A group of soldiers quickly surrounded him, with spears like a forest and wooden shields like a mountain, all pointing towards Hariljie, vowing to stop him from moving forward.
"what……"
Harierjie was furious and let out a deafening roar. He waved his axe and chopped at the crowd in front of him like a madman.
There was only a loud "crackling" sound, the spears were cut off, and the wooden shields were shattered.
At this moment, he suddenly found that someone was holding his horse's legs tightly, not letting him move forward.
People fell one after another, but groups of people came up again...
Faced with such a powerful enemy, these loyal soldiers showed no fear and were not afraid of death.
The soldiers whose defensive formation was broken were instantly thrown into chaos. Some even tried to fight for their lives, but facing the heavy armor of Tiefutu, the damage was almost completely one-sided.
After being ruthlessly trampled by the Iron Flotilla, they were harvested by the cavalry behind them like fallen leaves swept by the autumn wind.
When the soldiers in the camps on both sides saw this horrific scene, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and no one dared to go forward to resist the enemy.
The sky is vast, the wilderness is boundless, and the fleeing soldiers' tears of regret are streaming down their faces!
They ran away desperately in groups, but still could not change the tragic fate of being hunted down.
Fortunately, the days are getting shorter at this time.
The ongoing bloody massacre finally stopped as it got dark, and most of the people who pretended to be dead managed to escape.
They were almost crawling on the ground like reptiles, just to avoid being chased!
It was not until the second half of the night that the chilling sound of horse hooves on the grassland finally stopped.
Out of a total army of 70,000, less than 10,000 soldiers escaped.
This time, Guo Zian died in the vast grasslands of the north due to his serious injuries.
There were only a handful of people around Pharmacist Guo. They were all dragging their exhausted bodies, sitting listlessly on their horses, wandering aimlessly towards Yanzhou like zombies.
"Control..."
A warhorse on the grassland suddenly stopped, and the person on the horse looked solemnly at a disheveled team in the distance, which consisted of less than 10,000 people.
Behind him, there were 30,000 equally exhausted soldiers.
"General, the spies report that the people ahead appear to be from our Yan army!"
"Yan army? Why are they in such a mess?"
The general on horseback frowned and asked in confusion, his eyes full of confusion and anger.
"Looking at their uniforms, it seems they are General Guo's men."
The voice of the commander beside him was trembling and timid.
"It's him~" The general's eyes widened in anger, as if fire was about to spit out of his eyes. He tried his best to look back for the team, but these people did not wait for them and even ran away.
What a waste of my loyalty.
Yes, this general was Li Meng. He traveled hundreds of miles, looking for the army on the grassland with great anticipation. Unexpectedly, he saw wild wolves tearing the bodies of these people apart, leaving only pale bones scattered on the grassland.
"Let's go. They are not wise leaders worth following. Let's go towards Yanzhou first!"
Li Meng had a determined look on his face. He didn't want to reunite with Pharmacist Guo anymore, so he turned around and retreated with everyone else.
No one had expected that after this separation, the two would meet again on the battlefield. Guo Yaoshi did not return to Qin Lian's base, but chose to defect to the Huns.
After Qin Lian learned the information, he led his army to rush over to gather the remaining soldiers, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not find Guo Yaoshi's army.
"General, we met General Guo on the way. Seeing that he was listless and in a trance, we did not disturb him."
When Li Meng said this, his eyes flickered, but he was actually feeling extremely guilty.
How could Qin Lian not see the water in these words? He snorted coldly.
As for Pharmacist Guo himself, Qin Lian had never had a good impression of him.
Although this time it was taken advantage of, I never thought that Guo Yaoshi's army would end up like this.
The current tragic situation is caused by two reasons: first, they are unwilling to fight and have no fighting spirit; second, they underestimate the enemy and are arrogant.
In particular, Li Meng mentioned that Guo Yaoshi took his son and ran ten miles away to set up camp alone, facing an enemy force several times larger than his own. This was undoubtedly a major mistake and responsibility of Guo Yaoshi.
This was also one of the reasons why Guo Yaoshi was unwilling to return to the court later.
