Chapter 335 Kill!
A pivotal turning point in the history of Fengyun occurred without warning at this moment!
"General, let's retreat quickly, or it will be too late!"
The Liao army officials began to feel apprehensive. Looking at the approaching Dayong reinforcements, they were very afraid. They had long heard of the power of the Northern Army, and the secret agents had reported that the Northern Emperor was currently working on researching new weapons of war. The black balls they had just thrown were probably the weapons they had developed.
I had heard before that Sikong Jin had used a similar weapon in a battle in Tashe City or some other war. At that time, some people in the Liao court had already raised concerns, but most people thought that such weapons were not very powerful and did not pay attention to it. Unexpectedly, the new weapon used by the Imperial Northern Army is so terrifying that in less than an hour, the Liao army, known for its formidable strength, was defeated!
Their ominous premonition grew stronger. In this situation, did they still have the strength to contend with the Great Zhou?
Suddenly, they all became very negative and pessimistic about the Liao Dynasty's plan to conquer the east!
It seems their Liao dynasty's dream of conquering Fengyun is about to be shattered! Who could have imagined that the Zhou dynasty's military strength was so formidable? No wonder the Northern Emperor could watch them fight and struggle with an unbelievable calmness.
They had the foresight to develop new weapons long ago and couldn't be bothered with their infighting!
The more they thought about it, the more terrified and anxious they became. If they were truly facing the army of the Great Zhou right now, then...
The soldiers at the front were still retreating in disarray, with many abandoning their armor and fleeing in panic. The once spirited and valiant army of Gosu was now in a sorry state, having been utterly routed by the Imperial Northern Army. This was a situation that General Gosu had never witnessed in his long military career.
Looking at his soldiers who were being beaten and were in a sorry state, Ge Su felt a tightness in his chest and a metallic taste rose in his throat. His face changed drastically!
"Get out!"
Gosu swallowed the metallic taste rising in his throat with difficulty. Looking at the soldiers who were terrified and retreating in a continuous rout, he knew that under the sudden and fierce attack of the Imperial Northern Army, their Great Liao was probably doomed. The situation was bad. If they did not withdraw their troops, it would not only be a matter of being severely weakened, but they would probably be unable to recover!
Countless corpses fell down. As far as the eye could see, wherever the Great Zhou's iron cavalry swept across, those who fell were almost all the corpses of the Liao army. The soldiers' mournful cries of pain announced the final victory of this war.
Gesu mounted his horse and hurriedly turned it around, galloping away. The surviving Liao soldiers also retreated in panic, abandoning their armor and weapons, in a state of utter disarray.
"Brothers, give chase! Kill all those arrogant brats!"
"Follow me, and kill!"
"Long live! Long live! Charge! Don't let them get away!"
The soldiers of Da Zhou roared and chased after them like wild beasts, while the soldiers of Da Yong followed behind them with the same excitement, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
‘Boom! ’
The thunderous hoofbeats were like a deafening roar, and the mud that flew up almost covered a large area of the sky. The Liao army had already scattered and retreated in all directions. However, before Sikong Jin ordered a halt to the pursuit, the 200,000 iron cavalry of the Great Zhou clearly did not intend to let the Liao army off so easily. The army was in a triangular formation, bravely pursuing them from behind.
Under the protection of his guards, Gosu was fleeing for his life. He spurred his horse forward with a tense expression, and a rare look of fear appeared in his eyes. The roaring shouts were right behind him, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking. Deafening sounds exploded behind him from time to time. In an instant, he seemed to smell a very ominous premonition.
"Quick! Don't linger! Charge out! Retreat! Retreat!"
His heart was taut with tension. As he listened to the increasingly loud shouts of battle behind him, his fear surged. He had a vague feeling that the Great Zhou army was targeting him, with hundreds of thousands of troops heading straight for his central army!
He spurred his horse and galloped at full speed, not daring to be careless for a moment. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He shouted in terror, "Left and right flanks, hurry! Stop their attack! Hurry! Hurry!"
However, the soldiers were already terrified by the thunderous battle formation and crossbow formation of the Northern Army, and they didn't care about anything else. Even though Ge Su shouted orders, they were only concerned with escaping. Hundreds of thousands of sabers of the Great Zhou were waving behind them. As they rode past, they left streaks of brilliant crimson. The ferocity of their attacks made them tremble with fear!
Most of them were cut in half at the waist or had their heads chopped off with a single blow. The brutality of the attack left them with no complete corpses!
They don't care about techniques or formations; they'll use whatever moves they can to incapacitate their opponent as quickly as possible.
Only then did the Liao army realize what a formidable opponent they were facing!
I had long heard of the fierce and ruthless nature of the Northern Army. Their equipment was mostly very sophisticated, and their fighting style emphasized speed, ruthlessness, and precision, which was very much in line with the cold and brutal nature of the Northern Emperor. They acted decisively and ruthlessly.
However, this is not the most frightening or terrifying aspect of the Imperial Northern Army. What is most terrifying about them is their attitude towards the conquered—
They prefer obedient children. The more they resist, the more cruel their policy towards prisoners of war will be after they are defeated. Just like last time in the Southern Liang Kingdom, they slaughtered five thousand or even tens of thousands of prisoners of war without blinking an eye. That was just a piece of cake!
Do you remember when the Northern Army was attacking the former Western Chu Dynasty? Because of the fierce resistance of the Western Chu Dynasty, the Great Zhou army also suffered heavy losses. At that time, the Northern Crown Prince, who was not yet fifteen years old, implemented a gradient flanking maneuver to break through the gate of the Western Chu Dynasty's imperial city. His first order was to kill all 40,000 Western Chu prisoners who were guarding the city!
After that battle, Di Beizun became famous, not only for his admirable military talent, but also for his absolutely cruel and ruthless methods.
This force is clearly the one that has followed him for many years. The soldiers have learned the true skills of their commander and act without hesitation. How could the Liao army not be terrified?
