Chapter 435 Evacuation
"Ugh!"
Su Ye sighed heavily, feeling that he needed to grow a brain.
The current situation in Daqian is really chaotic.
Not only is it a mess on the surface, it is also complicated behind the scenes.
Even the Emperor of Daqian in the Daqian Imperial City didn't know what he was planning.
Even his father might be involved in this, which gave Su Ye a headache.
The only thing that can be confirmed now is the stance of cracking down on those powerful families and clans.
Prince Yun Su Kai and Emperor Daqian Si Xiaofei stand together, but the others are uncertain for the time being.
After all, Su Ye didn’t have a deep understanding of the relationship between Prince Yun Su Kai and Emperor Daqian Si Xiaofei.
Even Xun You and Guo Jia are extremely intelligent strategists.
When there is unequal information available, the facts that can be analyzed are also very limited.
God knows, their analysis might be distorted by just a tiny bit of information.
Therefore, the current analyses of both Xun You and Guo Jia tend to be conservative.
All of these are to let Su Ye stay calm for the time being, at least from various circumstances.
His father Su Kai definitely stands behind Su Ye and does it for Su Ye's own good.
Instead of sacrificing a group of their own cubs to achieve some goal.
In other words, all of Su Kai's current actions in Daqian actually revolve around Su Ye as the core.
Just when Su Ye was racking his brains, Zhuque beside him nodded slightly, put away the Zhuque Burning Sky Bow and Hundred Birds Arrow in his hands, turned around and gave Su Ye a knowing look.
"Order General Lian Po, the entire army retreat!"
Although Su Ye's voice was not loud, it revealed an unquestionable majesty.
Xuanwu silently guarded Su Ye and Zhuque, following their footsteps closely.
As Su Ye's order was passed on.
"The Halberd Corps, advance and never retreat! Maintain the formation and move forward steadily!"
"Cangzhou Army, retreat in an orderly manner!"
Lian Po's voice in the rear of the Cangzhou Army struck every soldier's heart like cold iron stone.
The heavy infantry - the Halberdiers held halberds in their hands and walked with firm steps. The heavy armor on their bodies flashed a cold light in the sun, like a moving steel wall, unshakable.
And the Cangzhou army on both wings of the halberd soldiers also began to retreat slowly.
However, the retreat was not smooth sailing. The Yellow Turban Army on the opposite side swarmed in like sharks smelling blood, trying to bite the seemingly retreating prey.
A cold light flashed in Lian Po's eyes. He was not afraid of these fanatical pursuers. Instead, he took advantage of their fanaticism and set up layers of traps.
"Archers prepare!"
At Lian Po's command, the archers at the rear of the Cangzhou army quickly drew their bows and arrows, aiming at the approaching Yellow Turban Army.
"put!"
Following Lian Po's order, a dense rain of arrows began to fall like the god of death's scythe, reaping the lives of the Yellow Turban Army.
For a moment, there were screams on the battlefield and the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was stalled.
However, this is just the beginning.
In order to successfully retreat, we must give full play to the advantages of each type of soldiers and form a perfect tactical coordination. "Lance soldiers, move forward!"
Lian Po gave orders again, and the spearmen quickly filled the gaps left by the halberd soldiers like sharp swords drawn from their sheaths.
The long spears in their hands were like a forest, forming a sharp line of defense, which made the many Yellow Turban troops on the opposite side give in.
At the same time, the cavalry attached to the Cangzhou army also played a huge role under the command of Lian Po.
He shuttled across the battlefield like a whirlwind, raiding the flanks of the Yellow Turban Army and coming to the rescue of besieged friendly forces.
Under Lian Po's precise command, the Cangzhou army was like a sophisticated machine, with all its parts working in coordination and displaying amazing combat effectiveness.
Although the Yellow Turban Army had a large number of people, they were clumsy and powerless in the face of Lian Po's tactics.
Under the command of Lian Po, the Cangzhou army withdrew from the battlefield in an orderly manner and retreated in the predetermined direction.
However, Lian Po did not let down his guard.
Any negligence on the battlefield may lead to total loss.
As Lian Po continued to wave the command flag in his hand, the large force of Cangzhou Army slowly got rid of the entanglement of the Yellow Turban Army, and from time to time used the coordination between the arms to launch effective counterattacks against the enemy forces that attempted to pursue them.
When the last Cangzhou army disappeared on the distant horizon, Lian Po breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned his attention to the army of halberd soldiers who stayed behind to guard the rear and the White Horse Volunteers who still maintained the white dragon form.
As the main force of the Cangzhou Army withdrew, the focus on the battlefield gradually shifted to the halberd warriors who stayed behind to guard the rear and the white horse volunteers who were covered in shining silver armor and maintained the form of a white dragon.
The White Horse Volunteers led by Zhao Yun, as the elite among the Taoist soldiers, showed their extraordinary mobility and combat effectiveness at this moment.
The White Dragon Dharmakāya's entire body shook, as if a dragon was roaring in the sky, and the sound shook the entire area. In an instant, he got rid of the Xuantian Guard in front of him and Chong Heqing who had been shot in the shoulder.
"The white horse gallops, and the righteousness is fearless!"
Zhao Yun shouted loudly, his voice like a bell, inspiring the White Horse Volunteers behind him.
Thousands of White Horse Volunteers on white horses and in white armor galloped through the Yellow Turban Army like a silver torrent, covering the slow retreat of the Great Halberd Corps.
Every charge was accompanied by a thunderous force, which made the enemy terrified.
Although the Xuantian Guards were able to temporarily condense their Dharma images and fight against the White Horse Yicong with the help of the "Tai Chi Wind and Thunder Formation" and the special top-level war god Chong Heqing, they were not true Taoist soldiers after all.
He could still hold on by standing still and maintaining the "Tai Chi Wind and Thunder Formation", but once he moved to pursue the light cavalry, the White Horse Volunteers, he seemed unable to do so.
Zhao Yun saw this point clearly, and he led the White Horse Volunteers to move flexibly on the battlefield. Every attack was precise and deadly, causing heavy losses to the Yellow Turban Army.
Under their cover, the Halberd Corps was able to retreat steadily, and no one could stop them from leaving.
"Xuantian Guards, listen up! Form a defensive formation!"
Although Chong Heqing was shot in the shoulder, he still kept a cool head.
He knew very well that the Xuantian Guards were unable to pursue the Baima Yicong at this moment and could only switch to a defensive posture to resist the guerrilla offensive of the Baima Yicong.
"Want to chase? Then let you taste the wrath of the White Dragon!"
Seeing that other elite Taiping Sect soldiers were still thinking about leaving behind some halberd warriors, Zhao Yun sneered, waved the Longdan Bright Silver Spear in his hand again, and led the White Horse Volunteers to launch a new round of charge.
In the Yellow Turban Army, countless soldiers fell one after another under the charge of the White Horse Volunteers, and the formation was broken up again and again.
As the White Horse Volunteers moved freely in the Taiping Sect, the Great Halberd Corps gradually left the center of the battlefield.
When the last trace of silver disappeared on the distant horizon, the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence.
