Chapter 223 Red Flame
"Bastard, why are these guys so powerful?" Nobo cursed angrily, and immediately ordered the army to prepare for battle.
He is also a man who has experienced many battles, and he can tell at a glance that the 20,000 soldiers from the Blackwater Fortress are the best of the best. With his current strength of 50,000 troops, he may not be able to defeat the Blackwater Fortress army.
"Careless!" Nobo was annoyed, but not panicked. The Heishuisai army is naturally strong, but they are all infantry. Even if the 50,000 Xianbei army cannot fight head-on, it is still no problem to run.
"My lord! It's not good, a large group of enemy cavalry is coming from behind us!" Before Nuo Bosong took a breath, Xianbei scouts came to report immediately.
"Huh?!" Nobo's pupils shrank suddenly, and a bad premonition came to his heart.
"How many people are there? How strong is it?"
"There are 30,000 people here, and they are elite!"
"Retreat! Don't retreat!" Nobo immediately ordered loudly when he heard that there were 30,000 enemy troops.
Even 30,000 low-level third-tier soldiers, combined with the 20,000 elite infantry in front of him, are enough to keep his 50,000 army behind, not to mention the elites who came!
Before Nuo Bo finished speaking, the 20,000 Heijia infantry marched towards the Xianbei army with neat and firm steps!
Of course, Zhao Shen would not go against Shang Ji's order to attack rashly, he led the army to leave the city voluntarily under Shang Ji's order.
It is not a coincidence that Shang Ji led the army to attack at this time, but a plan after discussion.
Before Nobo could really retreat, there was already a slight vibration on the ground. Of course he knew that this was a sign that a large group of cavalry was charging nearby.
Shang Ji and Liu Yi led 8,000 black-armored black cavalry to the front of the army, while Liu Meng and Qin Ping led the wolf cavalry and Dayan iron cavalry to attack from the two wings.
Su Huan led 10,000 Youlong bow cavalry and 10,000 ordinary elite cavalry under Liu Yi's command to wander outside, beware of accidents.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Nobo's ruthlessness as a Xianbei was aroused, and he immediately ordered: "The whole army goes out and kills all these Han dogs!"
Immediately, the Xianbei soldiers who got up suddenly let out strange screams, and roared to meet the Shang Ji army.
Although Nuobo was very brave, and although most of the Xianbei army had a strong will to fight, this did not prevent them from perishing.
The difference in hard power between the two armies is too great. Soon, Nobo himself was killed by Shang Ji, and the Xianbei army was wiped out by the Heijia army!
The few Xianbei troops who saw the situation was not going well wanted to flee in the chaos, but they were named one by one by Youlong Gongqi who had been wandering around the periphery. In the end, out of the 50,000 Xianbei army, less than 3,000 escaped!
And in this battle, the combined losses of the Black Armored Army just exceeded a thousand, and most of the casualties were from Dayan Cavalry and Wolf Cavalry. The Black Armored Xuanqi in Shangji headquarters had less than a hundred casualties!
You know, the Black Armored Xuanqi is the main force of this attack, and the strength of the prefecture-level special units can be seen!
"My lord!"
Under the leadership of Zhao Shen, the remaining guards in Heishuisai came to meet Shang Ji together in the future before they had time to tidy up their blood-stained armor.
"Good job!" Shang Ji nodded slightly to Zhao Shen and praised.
Needless to say, he guarded the city wall tightly before and resolutely stayed behind closed doors. Later, Zhao Shen commanded the generals in the Blackwater Fortress to go out to fight the Xianbei army. Although his performance was quite satisfactory, there was nothing impressive.
But Shang Ji knows that wars do not seek victory by surprise, and those who make good use of surprises will eventually take advantage of surprises. Although it is eye-catching to win with Qi, but ask those famous generals who have established Qigong, if they have a choice, will they still use Qi?
When you meet a commander who is steady and steady, and does not take risks, any tricks will be caught blind!
"Shen dare not take credit, but rely on the lord's divine power, the soldiers will use their lives!" Zhao Shen was as modest and prudent as ever, and did not take any credit.
"Master, I have encountered some problems." Su Huan, who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield, walked quickly and whispered next to Shang Ji.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord, please come with the last general!"
Shang Ji nodded and followed Su Huan forward.
Not long after walking, passing a pile of corpses of Xianbei people,
Shang Ji saw a group of wolf warriors being surrounded by groups!
"Huh? This is it?" Shang Ji was a little confused, so he looked at Su Huan.
"My lord, these are the mounts of the original Xianbei wolf cavalry. Now that the wolf cavalry has been wiped out, some of the mounts are still alive. The general wants to take them down and use them as our army's wolf cavalry. However, these war wolves are different from war horses, and their character is very violent. , is very hostile to us, and the last general is incompetent, so I can only ask the lord to make up his mind!"
When Su Huan said this, Shang Ji remembered. Among the 50,000 Xianbei army, there are about a few hundred wolf cavalry. These wolf cavalry were not afraid of death in battle, and their will was extremely tenacious, which caused a lot of trouble to Shang Ji.
Of course, it's just some troubles.
Shangji also had wolf cavalry, whose number was nearly ten times that of them. In addition, there were Dayan Iron Cavalry and Black Armored Xuanqi, which were more powerful than wolf cavalry. Given the absolute power gap, these wolf cavalry were also quickly destroyed.
All the wolf cavalrymen died in battle, and most of the wolves under his command also followed their masters. Currently, only a hundred or so wolves are surrounded by the black armored soldiers.
Looking at the war wolf who bared his teeth and mouthed threats from time to time, Shang Ji had an idea: "Go, find General Liu Meng and ask him to bring Hong Yan over!"
Hong Yan was the head wolf of the group of war wolves recruited by Shang Ji before. Because of his reddish coat color and his running like a burning flame, Liu Meng named him Hong Yan.
As Liu Meng was the commander of the wolf cavalry, Hong Yan naturally became Liu Meng's mount.
Not long after, Liu Meng came riding Hongyan.
"My lord!" Liu Meng jumped off the Wolf Warrior and saluted Shang Ji.
"Woooo~" Hongyan leaned over and howled twice, which was regarded as a greeting.
Shang Ji smiled, looked at Hong Yan, pointed to the surrounded war wolves in the distance and said, "Hong Yan, can you recruit them?"
Hong Yan glanced at the wolves, and under Shang Ji's expectant eyes, nodded the huge wolf's head.
Shang Ji was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately said: "If you recruit them to surrender, I would have rewarded you with twenty fat sheep!"
Hong Yan was shocked when he heard the words, and looked up at Shang Ji, waiting for Shang Ji to confirm.
Among the wolf warriors, the fat sheep is the hard currency, and Hong Yan is the head wolf. Naturally, the treatment is much higher than that of the ordinary wolf warriors, but twenty throws of the fat sheep are also his monthly military salary. Now he has the opportunity to earn extra money. Immediately excited!
"Surrender them, twenty fat sheep!" Shang Ji repeated.
Hong Yan rushed out with a bang, two swoops, jumped over the guarding soldiers, and jumped into the pack of wolves.
The wolves were startled, and before they could move, they saw Hong Yan yelling in the middle of the wolves, and the howling of wolves spread throughout the battlefield.
The hostile wolf that was originally full of hostility suddenly disappeared.
As the howling of the Hongyan wolf continued, soon a nearby giant wolf lay down and made a gesture of submission.
Then this trend spread to the whole pack of wolves in an instant. One minute later, only Hong Yan (wolf) in the wolf pack stood with his head held high.
