The World Online Chapter 1034

Chapter 1034 - Chasing the Win

Seeing their main general die in front of their very eyes was simply a huge blow to the Mongol army. Before they could even react, Er’Lai, who chased up, started to do work once more.

“Kill!”

Seeing their Legion General show off his skill, the following Guards Legion Corps exploded. All of their faces flushed red with emotion as their quickened up their speed. They were going to work harder to destroy the back troops of the enemy.

This battle grew more and more intense.

The Great Xia troops morale rose, but the Mongol army started to show fear. The successive blows weakened the confidence of the Mongol cavalry.

Such a strong commander was actually killed in one blow.

They were now group of soldiers without a leader. The Mongol army, who was not united as one, obviously could not defend against the charge of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps.

Zhang Hongfan’s face was really ugly. The moment that Bayan died, his fate was already confirmed. The problem was what he was supposed to do now.

In order to save Bayan, he only managed to gather up 20 thousand troops and had hurried over to assist. More troops were gathering up in the barracks, and they still needed time before they could reinforce.

Like what Bayan had judged, in Zhang Hongfan’s eyes, the 10 thousand elite cavalry could last for half an hour, so it was enough for him to lead his troops over to reinforce.

Who knew that this group of Personal Guards would actually be wiped out so easily.

Just thinking about that, Zhang Hongfan felt a chill run down his spine. A cold sensation entered right into his heart and made him shiver.

The Great Xia Guards Legion Corps did not give Zhang Hongfan much time to think.

The high speed charging cavalry was like lighting, sweeping out across the wilderness, giving out a killing intent and killing aura as they passed like a tsunami.

Every area they passed, people died.

The Mongol soldiers did not even have the time to collect the body of their dead commander before it was stepped on by the Guards Legion Corps, becoming one with the ground below.

At this very moment, a cold breeze blew across.

The black capes of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps sounded out in the wind, and the tassels attached to their helmets danced in the wind, becoming the most eye-catching sight beneath the night sky.

This tassel was not only a decorative piece, as it actually had huge use in battle.

With the current battle as an example, Er’Lai was charging at the front. The following troops could use the tassel to see the directions of attack and differentiate allies from enemies, and they could even use it to feel the wind direction.

In the blink of an eye, the two armies were like a flood, crashing into one another.

As a result of Zhang Hongfan’s moment of astonishment, the Mongol army did not have a commander. Some soldiers charged to the front while some turned around, ready to flee.

The entire battlefield was in total chaos.

At this very moment, the orange sun finally fell below the horizon, taking away the last bit of dusk. The earth was dark, like it could not bear to see the slaughter.

Weirdly, the moment the sun went down, a bright moon hung high up in the sky, giving out a gentle but eye-catching white light as it continued to shine onto the earth.

This was a catastrophe for the Mongol army. The night sky was not their protective talisman. On the contrary, it became the best light source for the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps.

In the light, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps were like ghosts, charging around the Mongol army. In less than three rounds, the Mongol cavalry formation was ripped apart by the Great Xia troops, fleeing in all directions.

‘Hu!’

Er’Lai spat out a white mouthful of air. Currently, his body was drenched in sweat. Even a fierce general like him felt exhausted after such a battle.

Especially after killing two Mongol generals in succession. On the surface, it looked simple, but it used up most of Er’Lai’s stamina.

When Er’Lai saw that, he decided that that was enough and ordered the troops to rest up on the spot and form up.

The successive charges were a huge ask of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, especially the horses. Under such an intense battle, some of the horses were panting and spitting out white foam.

If they did not rest, the horses would be tired to death.

“Send the city a signal bullet and say that Bayan is dead, and the enemy frontline is crushed. Seek instructions, continue or retreat.” Er’Lai ordered.

The military order sounded complicated, but they had a planned signal beforehand.

Hence, a red signal bullet was shot up, which represented the successful of the mission. The following two yellow ones indicated that the frontline was wiped out, and further instructions were needed.

Lin’an City, South City gate.

Apart from Wuqi, who was commanding the troops, Ouyang Shuo, Xiong Ba, Wen Tianxiang, and the other Grand Council members were all here.

Looking out at the rising red signal bullet, Ouyang Shuo let out a satisfied expression. As expected, Er’Lai did not disappoint him and won his battle.

“Great Xia’s Guards Legion Corps are worthy of its reputation!” Xiong Ba smiled and congratulated.

Wen Tianxiang gripped his fists tight. Currently, his face was filled with awe and emotion. His body could not help but shake as he looked toward Ouyang Shuo with recognition and respect.

The strength of the player forces had totally stunned Wen Tianxiang and made him submit.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, turning around and looking at Wuqi, “Bayan is dead, and the Mongol army frontline has collapsed. It’s time to expand our gains, what do you think?”

Since he was appointed as the commander, Ouyang Shuo naturally needed to give Wuqi enough respect.

Wuqi nodded, “The Xia King is right. The heavens hate the Mongols. The moon is so bright, so we can still fight. Since Bayan has died, the Mongols have no leader and cannot fight!”

“General, you can give the order without worry!” Ouyang Shuo smiled.

Wuqi nodded and started planning. Since Bayan had already died, the east and west wings did not need to continue the encirclement. Wuqi ordered them to immediately return and kill the enemies around them.

Er’Lai would lead the troops down south to take down the south barracks of the Mongol army.

Apart from moving the cavalry outside of the city, Wuqi moved troops within the city to strike out and work together with the cavalry troops to wipe out the Mongol barracks.

In truth, this was a little risky. After all, they were fighting at night. However, if they succeeded, the rewards would be more than they had expected.

When Ouyang Shuo saw that, he did not speak out to oppose.

Desperate times called for desperate measures. Such small gains were not enough to change the battle, and the Mongol main army was still alive. Hence, they needed to expand their winnings, and they had to do so quickly.

Since the Mongol army did not have a leader at the moment, this was the best time to strike. They could increase the fear within the enemies and force them to have a full-scale collapse.

If not, and they did not give them enough pressure, the Mongol army would come back to their senses, and all their hard work would be wasted.

As expected from a God General like Wuqi. He saw the entire battlefield really clearly.

In less than five minutes, the new order was spread through the signal bullets. This was also a secret weapon of the player troops. If not, they would not be able to spread orders on such a night.

The moment the military order was given, 180 thousand South Song troops used the moonlight to start a slaughter in the wilderness.

Er’Lai led the 30 thousand Great Xia Guards Legion Corps troops. Zhang Shijie led 50 thousand elite cavalry and followed closely behind. The huge army flooded into the Mongol South camp.

The current south camp was in a total mess.

As there were soldiers who had backed down from the frontlines, the south camp soldiers already knew that their commander Bayan had died in battle. General Zhang Hongfan was also lost in the chaos.

The successive failures nearly caused the south camp troops to collapse.

An army without a commander meant that the south camp was totally out of their minds. Under Er’Lai’s leadership, the fate of the soldiers was foreseeable.

The fall of the south camp was just a matter of time.

During the process, there were already Mongol cavalry that were fleeing toward the east and west city camps in an attempt to escape.

When Er’Lai saw that, he did not stop them. When these soldiers escaped toward the east and west camps, not only would it not be useful, but it would even spread fear around and mess up the entire Mongol army.

At the same time, Lianpo and Zhao Zhuang led the two wings of troops and were about to surround the Mongol south army. Just as they were about to do that, they received the order to kill their way back.

Lianpo had a complicated expression on his face. Looking at the south camp that killing shouts were spreading from, he said in a low voice, “Send my orders, the front troops become the back troops, the back becomes the front. The target is the West camp.”

“Yes, general!”

Lianpo was a prideful general. He was not willing to let the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps claim all the credit.

On this night, the Handan City Army should not go quietly into the night. Behind them fell many Mongol West camp cavalry. A night of slaughter was unavoidable.

Zhao Zhuang led the east wing troops and the war they fought was similar to that of Lianpo’s.

The news of Bayan’s death spread quickly to the east and west camps and slowly toward the north. This totally shook the fighting spirit of the Mongol army.

Should they send out troops to take revenge for the commander or should they defend the barracks till daylight?

No one could give them a correct answer.

Everyone could only fight for themselves. Some choose to attack, some chose to defend, and some even had internal conflicts based on differing opinions.

Just as the Mongol army was hesitating, the four city gates of Lin’an city opened up once more.

More troops swarmed out and charged at the east and west camps.

That’s right. Wuqi took risks, but he was not a fool. He knew how to attack three sides and let one off, moving the troops to strike the east, west, and south camps and letting the north go.

This would instead quicken the defeat of the Mongol army because they had a way out.

This night was destined to be a chaotic one.

Under the night sky, the killing shouts, horse hooves, and screams mixed together, causing the originally peaceful wilderness to be bustling so that no one could fall asleep.

In the later part of the night, the east and west camps were blazing in flames. The South Song soldiers used the chaos to start fires everywhere and were ready to burn the entire enemy camp.

Just as Wuqi had expected, since Bayan and Zhang Hongfan were not taking charge of the north camp and it was also night, the soldiers there did not dare to exit the camp and chose to defend their position.

The blazing flames shone half-way across the sky, and screams spread out from within the flames. Only the flames shook in the night breeze and blurred one’s face.

On such a special night, who could foresee the future?
