Chapter 1045: Beiwei Army vs. Iron Pagoda
"Are we really not going over there?" Wang Min looked at Zhang Yu in confusion.
"If you don't want to go down, just wait here!" Zhang Yu looked in the direction of Yue Fei with a heavy face.
He understood what Wang Min meant, and also understood the danger Yue Fei was about to face, but Guo Hao chose to trust Yue Fei and deployed them here.
Soldiers are bound by their duty to obey orders, especially when it comes to such important decisions. They can have their own ideas, but once the order is given, there is absolutely no room for negotiation.
"If he can't hold on, there's no point for us to be here!" Wang Min said with a frown.
"If he can hold on, we are the only ones who can hold on in this direction!" Zhang Yu said softly, "In other directions, there are large armies, flying bears, and divine cavalry, but here we are the only ones!"
"General, they want to force the Huns back to Parthia!" Wang Min was very confused and he didn't quite understand what the point of this was.
"I don't understand it either, but it should be related to the subsequent arrangements. Winning the war is our mission, but the subsequent construction still needs those smart people to do it!"
Zhang Yu shook his head. In fact, he understood one thing. Parthia would become a breeding ground for poisonous insects, but it could not be a dual breeding ground for poisonous insects of both the Han Dynasty and Rome. The remnants of Parthia and the Xiongnu must be allowed to mix in. If possible, even Great Britain should be dragged into the water.
Only in this way can subsequent events be kept under control, preventing a major war and the emergence of an empire to replace Parthia, and all dangers can be minimized.
Zhang Yu understood this, but he didn't say it. Many things are good for everyone if they are done in secret, but some things will become obstacles when they are exposed.
However, he didn't want to think about these things. Political affairs had nothing to do with him. His mission was to lead the Yulin Army to win every war.
"But..." Wang Min wanted to say something. After all, Yue Fei had more than 10,000 men against hundreds of thousands of Huns. Even their Yulin Army might have a difficult time.
Although the Beiwei Army is the soul of the army, it has no auxiliary army on its side. Fighting head-on is probably not difficult enough to describe as difficult.
"Wang Min! Obey military orders! Anyone who says anything more will be punished by military law!" Zhang Yu interrupted him and shouted harshly.
"Yes!" Wang Min's face showed a hint of helplessness.
"Get ready and throw the beacon over. Any help we can provide is helpful!" After a moment of silence decided to lend a hand.
Although he said he believed it, in fact, all the officers were not optimistic about Yue Fei's decision.
Li Ru and his men had even made plans to open the Bering Strait to traffic after the Huns escaped.
In any case, the backbone of the Huns had been broken. Once they fled this continent, they had truly lost the qualifications to oppose the Han Dynasty.
A nomadic tribe with a population of less than 500,000 is destined to not make any big waves even if it has a military soul corps.
They also knew a little about the situation on the American continent. Those empires were not kind people. The Huns, who had lost everything, might have been wiped out in the wars among the empires.
In comparison, it is more important to fight Parthia.
Although they also had the desire for revenge against the Huns in their bones, reason ultimately prevailed over emotion, and they were more inclined to the side with greater benefits.
However, after talking with Yue Fei, Guo Hao issued a military order and chose to firmly believe in Yue Fei and the Beiwei Army.
The Yulin Army moved quickly, projecting the blessing of the imperial will with their own will, and like a stream of light, they fell from the sky and hit the Beiwei Army.
The effect is also very simple, which is to temporarily expand the number of military souls of the Beiwei Army, allowing 8,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry to all enjoy the blessing of the military soul.
"You are really a worrier, but you have helped a lot!" Yue Fei felt the active military spirit and bowed to the direction of the Yulin Army with a smile to express his gratitude.
Although he was very confident in the Beiwei Army, the help from the Yulin Army was very useful to him.
It is always good to have fewer soldiers die. Although Yue Fei also adhered to the idea that a kind person should not be in charge of the army, he was also a man who loved his soldiers like his own sons. It was a happy thing for him to reduce some casualties.
"It seems that you have finally made up your mind?" Yue Fei sneered as he looked at the movements in the direction of the Hun army. Within his sight, Jin Wushu's Iron Pagoda was ready, and behind him were Murong Ke and Aobai's troops.
As for Temujin, he was worried that the Han army had set a trap, so he did not lead the Mongolian cavalry forward, but chose to lead his troops to drive away Gongsun Zan's White Horse Volunteers.
However, in order to show his intention, he still sent out a group of archers and cavalrymen to fight together.
Jin Wushu wished that Temujin would stay away from him, and in his heart he was madly laughing at Temujin's cowardice.
"I've determined to capture the soul of the army!" Jin Wushu's eyes were burning with fire.
It is no wonder that Jin Wushu was so confident. In past battles, Jin Wushu was considered a veteran and had fought against the top Eagle Flag Legion sent by Rome.
He was also familiar with all the legions on the Parthian side. To sum it up in one sentence, their Iron Pagoda had explosive . Even those legions with the same three talents did not dare to confront them head-on.
Because their Iron Pagoda's main focus is to break through the enemy's formation head-on. To some extent, they are even better at charging into the enemy's formation than the Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and are on par with the Chariot Corps.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is not only good at charging, but also at fighting after the charge. When it comes to charging alone, the current Iron Pagoda is indeed the best in the world.
Of course this refers to the ranking that excludes miracles, but even if the Yulin Army and the Divine Iron Cavalry are included, they are still among the top three in the world.
At this moment, Yue Fei's Beiwei Army formed a square formation, and from Jin Wushu's point of view, the opponent's formation was a death formation, which meant that they were betting everything on defense.
Although he didn't know what the significance was, Jin Wushu, who was very confident in his ability to attack the enemy, didn't think about it at all. He just wanted to rush forward, crush the defense line set up by Yue Fei, and cut off Yue Fei's head.
He couldn't wait to see the expression of disbelief on Yue Fei's face.
Murong Ke, who led the Former Yan army, was a little hesitant. Like Temujin, he sensed something wrong. Although he didn't know where it came from, he still shrank back imperceptibly.
If Parthia was not really hopeless, he really would not have been willing to go into exile with the Huns. It was so hard to have a stable place to develop, how could he have a good ending if he went into exile again and again?
Unfortunately, Parthia was beyond saving.
As a general of upper to middle rank in the Temple of Martial Arts, Murong Ke knew very well that Parthia was beyond salvation, even if the God of War were alive.
Even a military god has to abide by the basic laws. Even a strong man like Han Xin was defeated by Chen Xi's solid logistics.
Even Bai Qi, who never lost a war, big or small, failed to unify the six kingdoms in his generation.
There are many times when even military gods cannot do something; they can only determine the direction of history but cannot accelerate the course of history.
Murong Ke's imperceptible retreat did not attract anyone's attention. On the contrary, Oboi, who led the Eight Banners Cavalry Corps, moved forward.
There was only one thing in his mind, and that was to destroy Yue Fei's talent. He had no other intentions. He just wanted to see the fall of a legion of military souls. What could be more pleasing than this?
As for Kublai Khan, who was sent by Temujin, he also noticed that something was wrong, but he was sent by Temujin to make up the numbers, so he naturally led his troops to wander around the flank, intending to fire two rounds of arrows to show his respect.
However, although they all had their own thoughts, no one stopped. Even if the Han army really set a trap and waited until Jin Wushu had stepped on it, they would still fight to the death.
The passage was right in front of them, and they had no reason to give up.
If they were really stopped by just one Han army legion, they would lose face.
So they just wanted Jin Wushu to step on the landmine, but they didn't want to see Jin Wushu suffer too great a loss, so they sent people to follow him.
After all, there are still tough battles ahead that need Jin Wushu to lead. Without Jin Wushu, who will take the lead in the front line?
"Put on the chains!" Jin Wushu also knew this, but the temptation of a military soul was worth a try.
The dual experiences of being a Hun and Parthia made him understand one thing, that is, only military spirit is the foundation of growth.
As an empire, Parthia was a garbage empire that Rome bullied at will before it developed a military spirit .
But once the imperial will is born and the military spirit emerges, Parthia can push back on Rome.
Moreover, during the process of the Huns' exile and inheritance, the Military Soul Corps made great efforts. It can be said that they were the basis for the Huns to maintain high combat effectiveness. All these illustrate the importance of the Military Soul.
Therefore, the opportunity was right in front of him, and Jin Wushu had no choice but to give it a try.
Jin Wushu rode his horse and stood in front of all the Iron Buddha soldiers. "I don't know how many traps the Han army has set up ahead of us, but it doesn't matter. We must win this battle!"
"We will win!" All the Iron Buddha cavalrymen behind Jin Wushu shouted while brandishing their swords. Like Jin Wushu, they hated the Han Dynasty but also had confidence in their own charge.
Even though Jin Wushu clearly said there would be traps ahead, they still brandished their swords and roared, because they were confident that they could crush everything. This was the confidence of every top-level super elite legion.
In other words, without the will to believe in oneself, it is impossible to become a super elite.
Even if it is a military soul corps, one's quality and will must reach a certain standard.
Then Jin Wushu pulled the reins, and the precious horse under him stood up and stepped on the ground again, shaking off the dust on the ground.
"Charge the entire army!" Without the slightest hesitation, after all members were equipped with iron chains, allowing the Iron Pagoda to reach its absolute peak state, Jin Wushu pointed his spear and rushed out first.
Murong Ke, Oboi, Kublai Khan and others also rode forward.
For a moment, the earth trembled, and the sound of thousands of horses galloping was like thunder that continued to explode in the hearts of the Beiwei Army soldiers.
"Hahaha, come on!" Yue Fei did not feel the slightest fear at this moment, only a burning and restless desire to fight.
"I will win this battle!"
The golden light burst out directly from Yue Fei's body, covering all the soldiers with his strong will.
“We will win!”
The soldiers of the Beiwei Army were infected by Yue Fei's will and also roared loudly, with a fierce momentum bursting out directly.
"Yu!"
The soldiers of the Beiwei Army, who had been through countless trials and tribulations, naturally lowered their bodies and raised the large shields in their hands the moment they heard the order. The moment they saw Tiefutu, they all understood that this was the opponent they had been waiting for.
The tactical coordination that Yue Fei had been training them in was to deal with the Iron Pagoda in front of them. This mentality made the Beiwei Army more confident.
Everything was just as they had been trained. As long as they could hold on, it would be their turn to slaughter.
"Die!" Jin Wushu was like a god possessed at this moment. He smashed out with the heavy spear in his hand, and the Beiwei soldiers who were hit flew backwards instantly.
Even if they joined forces, they were still unable to stop Jin Wushu who had already broken through the realm.
However, the soldiers of Iron Pagoda were not as powerful as Jin Wushu. With the momentum of the charge, Iron Pagoda knocked away more than a thousand soldiers of Beiwei Army who were holding large shields.
The expected breakthrough did not occur and the Iron Pagoda was stopped.
Just when Jin Wushu was in doubt, the Beiwei Army's counterattack began.
The big shield hit fiercely, and the pure power was completely unleashed at this moment without considering its own damage. The powerful force penetrated the big shield and the air made a bursting sound at the moment of exerting force.
The heavy force will cause the Iron Pagoda to lean back, and the metalized Iron Pagoda soldiers who are one with their horses will instantly fall off their horses.
However, due to their strong defensive capabilities, the soldiers of Iron Pagoda did not suffer any serious damage at all.
But Yue Fei had been training for many days, so it was impossible that there was only such a simple step.
Immediately afterwards, the Beiwei soldiers holding battle axes stepped out from behind the shield-bearing soldiers and swung the sharp wheel axes at the legs of Tiefutu's horse. Even though Tiefutu's warhorse was blessed with talent and was completely made of metal, it still suffered heavily under this powerful attack.
Even though the horse's legs were not chopped off by the battle axe, its bones were still shattered by the heavy blow.
The Iron Pagoda soldiers whose horses' legs were broken had to be forced to remove their metalization. In the metalized state, they could become one with their horses and move like centaurs, as fast as the wind, and it was much easier to exert force than with stirrups and saddles.
But if a warhorse's legs are shattered and it still insists on being made of metal, it would be equivalent to cutting off its own legs and waiting to die.
“Swish, swish, swish!”
The sound of powerful crossbows exploding rang out, and the triggers of several powerful crossbows were pulled. Arrows engraved with marks burst out, and these Iron Pagoda soldiers who had just been freed from metalization were shot before they could react.
Before they could react, the arrows that hit the Iron Pagoda soldiers suddenly exploded, and even the soldiers who were not hit in vital parts were crippled by the explosion.
After doing all this, the shield-holding Beiwei soldiers once again stood at the forefront, and all the other soldiers retreated to the rear.
They only killed some of the Iron Pagoda soldiers, but the iron chains connecting them became ghosts demanding their lives at this moment, and they were unable to respond flexibly to the attacks of the Beiwei Army.
The iron chains certainly strengthened their ability to break the formation, and the more than a thousand Beiwei soldiers who were knocked flying were the best proof of this. However, their strongest point also became their irreparable weakness at this moment.
