C47 (1/2)
Waiting was the most painful thing in the world, especially after failure.
One day passed like a year. Three days passed like thirty years.
Qian Jun stood in the ice-cold night sky and looked down at the camp of the Sirion of Northern Desert's alliance troops. He hated that he couldn't rush into the enemy ranks and chop off the heads of the northern khan and the Chiron King to avenge his brothers who had died in the Northern Desert.
When Jin Chupei returned, the scouts he sent out reported that the northern khan had indeed transferred all of their troops away. Right now, there was only an empty camp, waiting for Jin Chupei to bring his men to rob the camp.
As time passed, his heartbeat accelerated.
He had originally thought that he would have to face the enemy for a long time in the White Wolf's Brook, but who knew that a decisive battle would happen in just a few days, this made him a little uneasy in his heart, for this battle, he could only win, he definitely could not lose.
”Sixth Prince, it's going to be ugly in a moment.”
Qian Jun turned around and looked at Jin Chupei behind him, and said with some nervousness and excitement: ”end will definitely wash away his shame this time, lead all his soldiers and bring the Sirion of Northern Desert Alliance over, then defeat them in one fell swoop.”
Jin Chupei thoughtfully nodded and said, ”General Qian, this battle will affect the future of the millions of citizens and nations of the Jin Country.
The day Qian Jun lost the battle was the day he was waiting to fight to the death with the Northern Desert.
”Sixth Prince, I will bring ten thousand heavy armoured infantry to lure the enemy over. You can have the shield and spear soldiers form an indestructible defensive line, and then you can have the crossbows and arrows shoot at the enemy together. When the time comes, the Sirion of Northern Desert's allied forces will not be able to break through the defensive line.
Jin Chupei nodded his head and said: ”General Qian is right. Time is almost up.
A cold wind blew, lifting his clothes up. A few strands of jet-black hair flew in the wind, and his face was like the moon.
There was no wind nor moon nor stars. The night was as dark as a lump of ink that could not be dissolved.
If he had not lit a torch, he would not have been able to see the other party's face even from a few meters away.
Qian Jun walked out of Jin Chupei's big tent, and pointed his troops towards Sirion of Northern Desert's army camp to kill his generals. Everyone knew that this battle was a narrow escape, and as a result, all of their eyes were like lightning, tightly grabbing onto the weapons in their hands.
The Sirion of Northern Desert's allied army was stationed on a plain not far from the White Wolf's Brook. The camp was still brightly lit, and the sound of the horses' whines could be heard, as if the soldiers were already sound asleep.
Ten thousand heavy infantry soldiers stormed into the enemy camp from all sides. It was indeed an empty camp.
Soldiers were shouting and fighting from all directions.
Qian Jun roared out like a thunderbolt from a clear sky: ”This is the enemy's plan, retreat all of you, retreat all of you!”
At this time, a scout reported, ”General, the enemy's cavalry has surrounded us, please quickly break out.”
It seemed that the big fish had taken the bait, so no matter what, he had to turn it into a salted fish.
Qian Jun ordered the soldiers to pass down their order to their generals, and the entire army set up formation low, ready to fight against the enemy.
The had over a hundred thousand Steel Cavalry outside. These Heavy Infantry soldiers knew very well that it was almost impossible to break out of the encirclement. The only hope they had was to wait for Jin Chupei's reinforcements.
Jin Chupei and Qian Jun did not inform the generals of their battle plan. Firstly, they wanted to keep it a secret, and secondly, they wanted to make sure that they would win.
The enemy surged forward like a tidal wave, and for a moment, the howls of the horses and the shouts of the soldiers mixed together, creating an earth-shattering scene.
The ten thousand Heavy Infantry soldiers led by Qian Jun formed a circular battle formation. Relying on the huge shield that was as tall as a person and the special spear that was used to defend themselves, the enemy troops were completely unable to break through the formation.
From the outside, Jin Chupei saw that Qian Jun's army had already attracted all of the Sirion of Northern Desert's allied forces back.
”Send out the order, let the entire army attack.”
Jin Chupei gave the order, and the fifty thousand men who had been lying in ambush rushed out, in the blink of an eye they began to fight with the enemy.
Just as Qian Jun had said, the troops at the front formed a formation, with the crossbow archers at the back, arrows shot out at the same time, causing the Sirion of Northern Desert's allied army to fall, their morale was in chaos.
northern khan saw the ambush and immediately ordered his men to break out.
However, the Jin Army's iron armor formation was like an iron wall. It did not move at all, and countless people had been trampled and killed on its own.
Jin Chupei ordered the divine archers in the army to shoot one arrow at the standard-bearers in the Northern Desert camp. The grey banner with a snow wolf embroidered on it fell to the ground, causing the enemy troops to be even more terrified.
”Men, order for an opening to be opened at the northwest corner of the Iron-Armor Array.”
With Jin Chupei's order, the general beside him asked in confusion: ”Sixth Prince, we are just about to annihilate the entire enemy army, why did you let go of an opening for them to escape?”
”Send my order, open an opening in the northwest corner for the enemy to escape.”
Jin Chupei knew clearly that even if the Sirion of Northern Desert's Alliance Army was surrounded, he only had fifty thousand troops. If the Sirion of Northern Desert's Alliance Army were to see that there was no hope of survival, and had to fight back with all their might, it would be impossible for him to defend against them.
When the Sirion of Northern Desert's allied army saw a hole in the northwest corner, they all rushed over. All of them wanted to escape, and without any fighting spirit, they were shot by a lot of Jin Jun's crossbows and crossbows.
When Qian Jun saw the Sirion of Northern Desert Alliance troops running away, he immediately ordered the entire army to retaliate.
Although the infantry did not have any advantage when facing off against the cavalry, the Sirion of Northern Desert cavalry had no intention to fight anymore, they were actually beaten to the point of losing their helmets and armor by the heavy infantry led by Qian Jun, and were completely defeated.
