Chapter 394 The blow must be quite big.
"Don't retreat! Don't retreat! Otherwise, I'll kill whoever does it!"
Xi Fenglie's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he shouted loudly!
Because he had discovered that, with the Thunderbolt Battle Formation clearing the way, the two flanks of the Great Zhou had already flanked them from both sides, almost cutting the hundreds of thousands of troops in two and annihilating them!
However, as deafening roars rang out, countless brothers were blown into the sky by the thunderbolts of the Great Zhou before they could even resist. The soldiers were all terrified and turned ashen-faced. How could they possibly listen to Xi Fenglie's orders?
"Kill!"
"The allied forces have been routed! Brothers, charge in, storm the city!"
"Scream, warriors of Great Zhou! Follow me into the city!"
"Fight in!"
Before Tuoba Yu and the others could recover, a deafening roar filled the air, accompanied by deafening explosions. The fierce Imperial Northern Legion, brandishing their swords, pressed forward with unstoppable force. The allied soldiers, already panicked after being bombarded by the Thunderclap Battle Formation, were terrified by this army that resembled ferocious beasts. They retreated in terror, and in just a few moments, the allied soldiers were in complete disarray, fleeing back into Yingzhou City like a defeated tide!
However, the soldiers of the Imperial Northern Army were not slow either. They charged into the chaotic allied forces and brutally carved a bloody path through them!
"Charge into the city! Kill!"
Seeing the vanguard force carving out a bloody path ahead, the soldiers fought with increasing ferocity, charging into the city like madmen. The drums of the charge resounded loudly, the morale of the Imperial Northern Army was exceptionally high, and the fighting became increasingly fierce.
"Soldiers, hold on! For our Tian Sheng! Fight them to the death!"
"Fight!"
"Kill! Fight to the death!"
The allied soldiers were also bloodthirsty, like a pack of wild beasts driven to the brink of destruction, seemingly with the intention of fighting to the death.
"Let's fight! Brothers, let's show these blind coalition dogs the might of the Northern Imperial Army! Kill them!"
……
The fluttering battle flags intertwined, and in the flash of blades, countless streaks of blood were drawn, and a thick stench of blood rose into the sky. The entire battle was exceptionally thrilling.
Emperor Beizun spurred his horse, brandishing his sword, and led his guards to intercept them. His cold and alluring face was filled with murderous intent, and many of the allied generals fell under the curved blade in his hand.
The powerful offensive forced the allied forces to retreat repeatedly. Xi Fenglie's Eagle Division was also suppressed by the Third Legion of the Northern Empire led by Feng Yang, and had no strength to resist. They were defeated one after another.
Xi Fenglie's pale face grew increasingly grim. Looking at Tuoba Yu's side, the situation was no better; the Tian Sheng soldiers were also in retreat!
The Great Zhou's Thunderclap Battle Formation is incredibly powerful, and so are these fierce cavalry!
Xi Fenglie was furious about Ge Su's crushing defeat, as hundreds of thousands of troops were routed by more than 200,000 soldiers of the Di Bei Legion, almost completely wiped out. But now it seems that Di Bei Zun's legion is the nemesis of Tian Sheng. His 200,000 Eagle Division has suffered nearly half its casualties under the pressure of their Thunderclap Battle Formation and Long Crossbow Formation. If this continues, they will be doomed sooner or later!
"Your Highness, let's retreat quickly! The situation is hopeless!"
Looking at the densely packed corpses lying on the ground, Gore felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but say to Xifenglie beside him, "If we keep fighting like this, we're finished!"
Xi Fenglie endured the excruciating pain in his chest. After taking that palm strike from Di Beizun, he felt as if his whole body was burning up, and then he felt cold and weak all over!
Cough cough! Cough cough!
After a violent coughing fit, a fishy, sweet taste rose up, making him feel dizzy all over, and his vision went black. He almost fell off his horse!
"His Royal Highness!"
Gore was shocked and rushed over to support the swaying Xifenglie, not caring about anything else, and shouted—
"Retreat! Everyone, retreat! Retreat!"
……
"Your Highness, let's retreat! It'll be too late if we don't! The Northern Emperor wants to annihilate us! Their army has already stormed the city!"
Seeing that Tuoba Yu was also pale and weak, Heishan said worriedly, "Crown Prince Xifeng can't hold on! It seems that Yingzhou City is also in danger of being defended. I suggest that we retreat directly to the south and concentrate our forces around the capital. Protecting the capital is the most important thing now!"
Tuoba Yu felt a sweet taste in his throat and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth. A strong smell of blood immediately filled his palm. His deep eyes were filled with exhaustion and dullness as he watched the allied soldiers retreating in disarray. He could only sigh inwardly.
The tide has turned!
It seems that the outcome of this war has already begun to emerge!
At this moment, he felt unusually pessimistic about the war of resistance!
It was so painful, and his heart ached terribly. In that instant, he seemed to see himself having lost everything!
'puff! '
Overwhelmed with heartache, he could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. Finally, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay conscious, roaring, "Retreat! Retreat south, quickly!"
After saying this, he turned his horse around and followed Xi Fenglie's army, bypassing Yingzhou City and retreating south!
They had no choice but to abandon the city, because it was already empty. If Emperor Beizun chose to surround them, they would only face certain death!
As soon as the retreat order was issued, the allied forces surged southward like a tidal wave. The soldiers offered almost no resistance, abandoning their armor and weapons and fleeing in panic. The hundreds of thousands of troops were utterly routed.
"Your Majesty, they have retreated!"
Su Yu looked at the allied forces fleeing south with a look of surprise. He did not expect that they would be defeated so quickly. It was only thanks to His Majesty's efforts that Tuoba Yu and Xifeng Lie were seriously injured. With their commander injured, how could they organize the resistance?
Emperor Beizun squinted at the fleeing and scattered allied forces, a disdainful smirk playing on his lips. "They're even more vulnerable than I imagined."
As he spoke, he abruptly withdrew his gaze, looked at the tall city tower in front of him, and said in a low voice, "There are still 100,000 troops of the Wing King waiting for them ahead. Do you think it's that easy to retreat? Send down the order to have General Feng Yang lead the soldiers of the Third Legion of the Northern Empire to pursue them."
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Su Yu responded and went to relay the order.
The battle went much more smoothly than Di Beizun expected. He had thought that with Xi Fenglie and Tuoba Yu's personalities, there would be a life-or-death battle, but they couldn't take it after only two hours. It seems that the situation in Shengdong must have been a big blow to them.
And it seems that Xi Fenglie and Tuoba Yu are not as powerful as he imagined. It's a wonder that the woman was injured by Xi Fenglie before, and even went to Tuoba Yu, that softie, for help.
