Chapter 128 Azure Dragon Legion
At this time, in the center of the Luzhou battlefield, an army wearing green armor was charging left and right among the Daqian army.
The green armor is like a nimble green dragon galloping on the battlefield.
The battle flags fluttered and the blue dragon flags waved. From afar, it looked like a group of divine soldiers sent from heaven, shocking the hearts of every witness.
It was the Qinglong Legion with Meng Zhang's mark among the Tianling Army that Meng Zhang had just created for Su Ye in Yunzhou.
After Su Ye came to Cangzhou and summoned Li Jing.
After the Qinglong Legion followed Li Jing to wipe out the foreign army led by Ji Shunfu that penetrated deep into Cangzhou.
Su Ye dismantled the Tianling Army.
The Xuanwu Guards, a heavy infantry unit, will follow Wu Xuan and serve as Su Ye's personal guards.
The Suzaku Camp and the White Tiger Cavalry still followed Suzaku and White Tiger to fight in the army.
Still active in the main combat sequence under Su Ye.
The main force of the Tianling Army, the Qinglong Legion, was secretly arranged by Su Ye and sent to Meng Zhang in batches.
Zhang Jue and others from the Yellow Turban Army watched as the Azure Dragon Legion, dressed in simple green armor and looking extraordinary, continued to arrive.
Everyone knew what the Taiping Sect was like today.
It's already a sieve.
Crowdfunding has rebelled.
Therefore, no one was surprised that Meng Zhang suddenly had a Green Dragon Legion under his command.
At this time, the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion were arranged in a neat battle formation. They had firm eyes and stern expressions, like a group of sharp swords about to be unsheathed.
Although the Daqian army on the opposite side had a large number of people, they couldn't help but feel afraid in the face of the fierce momentum of the Qinglong Legion.
As General Meng Zhang's flag in the rear continued to wave, the entire Qinglong Legion began to operate frantically like a sophisticated machine.
They began their first charge.
They waved spears and swords in their hands, and the green armor on their bodies, illuminated by the green dragon flags, looked like green dragons tumbling and dancing on the battlefield.
He quickly crossed the battlefield and headed straight for the central military tent of the Daqian army.
This sudden attack caught the Daqian army off guard, as the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion were originally the carefully selected reserve forces of the Jiuxiao Army.
After the initial period of Meng Zhang's intensive training.
Later, even if Meng Zhang left, there was always Li Jing, the saint-level commander, to take over seamlessly.
He was led by Li Jing to fight in several battles.
After the baptism of blood and fire, it now has all the qualities to become an elite army.
Therefore, as soon as the contact just started, the Daqian army on the opposite side clearly felt it.
This legion is completely different from the previous Yellow Turban Army that only relied on their numerical advantage to attack randomly.
The progress is orderly and the cooperation is tacit.
Even with a commander in chief, the Yellow Turban Army was still useless on the battlefield and was a completely different level of army.
After all, most of the people before the Yellow Turban Army were just farmers working with hoes on the ground.
Even after some training from Meng Zhang and others.
But it is still incomparable to the Qinglong Legion, the reserve force specially trained by the Jiuxiao Army.
Whether it is physical fitness or fighting will.
Therefore, the Daqian army had no time to react and could only fight hastily.
However, the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion did not just charge forward blindly.
While charging, they also flexibly adjusted their tactics according to the battle situation.
Some soldiers used the terrain for cover, while others adopted roundabout tactics to divide and surround the Daqian army.
Under their fierce attack, the vanguard of the Daqian army was quickly broken by the sudden arrival of the Qinglong Legion. The temporary commanding general who had not even stepped into the position of a divine general was also directly surrounded and killed by the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion.
The first battle was a victory, directly defeating the Daqian front army, which greatly boosted the morale of the Qinglong Legion.
They did not relax their vigilance because of their temporary victory, but quickly reorganized their formation and prepared for the next round of battle.
Because they knew that the Daqian army would never give up.
After the defeat of the front army, the Daqian army behind would soon come to the fore. Sure enough, after a brief panic, the Daqian army quickly organized an effective counterattack.
The elite cavalry troops at the back were sent out to move to both sides, wrapping up the Qinglong Legion like a big clamp.
Trying to break through the Qinglong Legion's defense line from the flank.
However, the Azure Dragon Legion had been trained by two saint-level commanders and had already prepared countermeasures against the cavalry.
They used spears and shields to form an indestructible barrier, keeping the cavalry of the Daqian army out.
At the same time, the archers in the Qinglong Legion quickly raised their bows and crossbows and launched long-range shots at the sweeping Daqian cavalry, causing huge casualties to the Daqian army.
But they are the regular army of the five dynasties.
The Daqian army that Meng Zhang and his men were facing at this time was not the second-line soldiers or county soldiers who were just waiting to die when the Yellow Turban Rebellion first started.
Instead, they were elite soldiers who had experienced many battles and were drawn from all over the place by Daqian.
Some are even border soldiers who have been at war for years.
Facing the response of the Azure Dragon Legion, they did not seem panicked.
Although it was a bit surprising that the Yellow Turban Army, which had been moving sluggishly, changed its formation so quickly this time.
However, this group of Daqian cavalry quickly took corresponding measures.
They bypassed the Azure Dragon Legion directly, circled around, and swept in again with a large amount of weapons.
A large number of torches and hay were lit and thrown at the Blue Dragon Legion.
This is why cavalry was an extremely difficult type of soldier in ancient times.
Even if the Azure Dragon Legion could respond in time.
However, as long as the cavalry does not act recklessly and engage in a head-on confrontation with the infantry, it will be difficult for the Qinglong Legion to cause heavy casualties to the cavalry that come and go like the wind.
Instead, they will be constantly kite-ed by the Daqian cavalry.
However, facing the response of the Daqian cavalry, the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion were not intimidated by the raging fire.
The soldiers who were caught in the flames quickly took off their green armor, put out the flames on their bodies with mud and urine, and then returned to their original battle formation.
This tenacious fighting spirit made the Daqian cavalry, who had always had an advantage in the quality of the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers, feel confused for a while.
Meng Zhang, who was standing behind, looked at the cavalry that was constantly harassing the Qinglong Legion with his eyes slightly narrowed.
This is really like a toad lying on your feet - he doesn't hurt people, he just annoys them.
The Qinglong Legion is currently the strongest legion of the Yellow Turbans on the battlefield of Luzhou, except for the Yellow Turban strongmen.
It's not even working yet and I'm already feeling disgusted.
But Meng Zhang was not too flustered.
He waved the flag in his hand.
The Yellow Turban troops surrounding the Azure Dragon Legion quickly approached the direction of the Azure Dragon Legion.
They began to squeeze the space for Daqian's cavalry to move.
On such a large battlefield, once the cavalry is trapped.
If there is no place to run, the result is already determined.
Therefore, facing the Yellow Turban Army that was constantly moving closer to the Azure Dragon Legion.
The Daqian cavalry could only give up the harassment strategy reluctantly.
Use mobility to break out before being formally surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army.
Liberate the Qinglong Legion again.
Without the harassment from the toad-like Daqian cavalry.
In the following battles, the Qinglong Legion displayed even more astonishing combat effectiveness.
Not only did they directly withstand the repeated attacks of the Daqian army from the front, but they also gradually pushed the front line forward.
Thanks to the efforts of the Qinglong Legion, the situation on the front line gradually became clear. With the Qinglong Legion, an elite legion, acting as the blade, the balance of victory began to gradually tilt towards the Yellow Turban Army.
