Chapter 419 The entire army attacks!

"Archers, prepare!"

Following the order from the captain of the Cangzhou army, the archers quickly formed a battle array, put arrows on the strings, and aimed at the enemy ahead.

After a few "whoosh" sounds, a dense rain of arrows bypassed the formation of the halberd soldiers and shot into the formation of the elite Yellow Turban Army who were responsible for attacking the Iron Wall Guard in front of the halberd soldiers.

For a moment, there were screams from the elite Yellow Turban Army.

The eldest brother and the second brother had a fight, and the third brother suffered a lot.

Both the Halberd Soldiers and the Iron Wall Guards are strong men wearing heavy armor.

What's the point of an ordinary infantryman getting involved?

And then, as the archers performed their duties, a large number of Cangzhou army infantrymen in the rear also approached step by step with spears held high and quick steps.

The tip of the spear in his hand flashed with cold light, as if it could penetrate all obstacles.

The Cangzhou cavalry in the Cangzhou army rode their horses and whipped the horses, outflanking the enemy from the flank in an attempt to disrupt the enemy's formation.

At the same time, the Tiebi Guards and the Xuanqi Cavalry also noticed the movement in the rear.

When they looked back, they saw a cloud of dust rising. The Cangzhou army was coming like a wave, and the momentum was so huge that it was intimidating.

"Watch out to the rear! The Cangzhou Army is coming!"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the captain of the Iron Wall Guard, and he shouted loudly.

The sound echoed across the battlefield, reminding every soldier of the upcoming challenge.

The commander of the Black Cavalry was observing the movements of the Cangzhou army with a serious expression.

The battle has begun to escalate. It is no longer a contest between the Great Halberd Soldiers and the Iron Wall Guards and the Black Cavalry, but has evolved into a larger-scale campaign.

As the distance between the two armies shortened, the atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense.

The Cangzhou army poured into the battlefield like a torrent, with iron armor clanging and spears and swords like a forest.

Their arrival was like a shot of adrenaline, instantly breaking the originally stalemate in the battle.

At this moment, the archers of the Cangzhou army had also reached the full range.

It can attack all the Iron Wall Guards, Black Cavalry and those elite Yellow Turban Army.

With Lian Po's order, thousands of arrows were fired, and the dense arrows flew towards the enemy like locusts.

Although the Tiebi Guards and the Black Cavalry raised their shields to resist, many soldiers were still hit by arrows and fell in a pool of blood.

However, this was only the first wave of offensive by the Cangzhou Army.

Immediately afterwards, the infantry began to charge, rushing out from both wings of the Halberd Corps.

The spear in his hand stabbed at the enemy like lightning.

The Tiebi Guards and the Xuanhu Cavalry had already pushed the Daji Warriors to their limits.

But at this moment, facing the ferocious Cangzhou army, they had to readjust their tactics.

"Iron Wall Guards, form a formation! Resist the enemy!"

The captain of the Iron Wall Guard raised his huge shield and shouted at the top of his lungs.

The commander of the Black Cavalry waved his spear and commanded the cavalry to move quickly across the battlefield, trying to deal with this sudden change with flexible and maneuverable tactics.

The two armies faced each other, the war drums beat, and the momentum was as high as a rainbow.

The infantrymen of the Cangzhou Army held spears and marched in formation, advancing steadily like a steel wall. Their footsteps were heavy and powerful, and every step seemed to crack the earth.

The Iron Wall Guards were not to be outdone. They relied on their giant shields to form an indestructible line of defense to resist the offensive of the Cangzhou Army.

The Black Cavalry made full use of their mobility, galloping like the wind on the battlefield, their spears like dragons out of the sea, piercing the heart of the Cangzhou Army. They did not take the Cangzhou Cang Army's accompanying cavalry seriously.

However, the archers of the Cangzhou army had already been on full alert, aiming at the movements of the Xuan Piao Cavalry. The dense rain of arrows came down like an overwhelming force, forcing the Xuan Piao Cavalry to temporarily retreat.

At the same time, the halberd soldiers led by Zhang He also regained their spirits.

They formed a siege with the Cangzhou army and surrounded the enemy troops.

As the halberd danced, cold light spread out and intertwined with the spears to form a dense killing net.

When the two armies met, the collision of weapons made a sound of metal clashing and sparks flew.

The shouts of the soldiers, the clashing of weapons, and the neighing of war horses intertwined together to form a heroic symphony.

"kill!"

A roar came from the Cangzhou army, and a Cangzhou soldier was seen holding a spear and rushing towards the Tiebiwei's defense line like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The tip of the spear in his hand flashed with cold light, pointing directly at the heart of the Iron Wall Guard Captain.

The captain of the Iron Wall Guard sneered and raised his huge shield to block the fatal blow.

However, he did not retreat. He turned around and his spear drew an arc along the edge of the giant shield and went straight for the captain's neck.

The captain was horrified and quickly dodged to the side, but it was too late. The spear left a deep bloody mark on his neck.

At the same time, the Xuanqi Cavalry also launched a new round of charge.

The long spear was like a dragon, piercing straight into the formation of the Cangzhou army.

However, the archers of the Cangzhou army once again demonstrated their power, and the dense rain of arrows caused heavy losses to the Xuan Piaoqi.

Even though some cavalry broke through the rain of arrows, they were firmly blocked by the Cangzhou army's infantry who were lined up on the spot with spears and shields.

At this time, the generals of the Taiping Sect in front of the Tiebi Guards and the Black Cavalry were watching the battle situation in front of them with different expressions.

The Tiebi Guards and Xuanqi Cavalry on the battlefield had already shown signs of fatigue under the comprehensive suppression of the Cangzhou Army, and the situation was quite unfavorable for the Taiping Religious coalition forces.

However, these Taiping Sect generals had their own thoughts, and the intrigues among them were fully revealed at this moment.

"Everyone, the war situation is urgent now. We need to work together to turn the tide."

A general wearing a brocade robe and with a sinister face broke the silence.

Having said that, his eyes kept glancing at his colleagues beside him, as if he was looking for some kind of tacit understanding or an excuse to shirk responsibility.

"General Lee is right."

"I just wonder when General Li's elite troops will be able to go into battle and kill the enemy to boost our army's morale?"

Another general interjected, with a barely perceptible hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Our army has been fighting for days and is exhausted. We need to rest now."

"General Zhang's troops have been gathering strength for a long time. Why not take this opportunity to make achievements?"

General Li's face darkened. He naturally heard the provocation in the other party's words.

"General Li, you are wrong. Although our troops did not directly participate in the battle, we have been preparing food and grass and taking care of the wounded in the rear, which is also a great contribution. If we want to go into battle, we have to wait until the soldiers in the front retreat and rest."

General Zhang sneered upon hearing this and continued to choke.

There was a lot of tension in the words between the two generals, while the generals around them had their own ulterior motives. Some were secretly delighted, hoping that others would go to the battlefield first to wear down the enemy's morale, while others were worried, fearing that their troops would be used as cannon fodder.

"Generals, this is not the time to argue. We should discuss countermeasures together instead of blaming each other."

A middle-aged man in a Taoist robe tried to calm the dispute.
