C80 The Power of the Black Shirt

Ruan Bao obtained the number one prize and was overjoyed to be the first to charge into Luoyang. He was abnormally excited. Just as he was about to expand his combat prowess, a flame suddenly soared to the sky in front of him. As the smoke began to rise, the fire burned the dry air, making it impossible for people to approach him.

"Crack, crack …" The monstrous flames rose up into the sky, and the muffled sounds of explosions were like firecrackers. The scorching hot air forced everyone to retreat far away. Even the city walls were burnt red, and the bluestone pavement was burnt to the point where no one could stand on it. The northwest wind would usually blow in the winter, causing the air to become abnormally dry. The five-meter-tall fire made it impossible for Ruan Bao's army to advance even half a step forward.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger, Ruan Bao saw that there was no way forward, and no way to extinguish the fire, so he waited far away, and could only order the entire army to retreat. Ruan Bao's army had turned to the front and quickly retreated.

But at the same time, Xie Fei led the Black Shirt Army Cavalry Soldiers to attack.

When they were about a kilometer away from the city gate, suddenly, countless troops flowed out like a stream from inside, spreading out their wings, forming a welcoming posture, instead of the Formation and the cavalry. However, the sharp-eyed Xie Fei was still able to see that the opponent was actually setting up a wing-like formation which mainly focused on defense and speed.

Xie Fei ordered: "Beigong Chun will lead the First Battalion to attack from the left, Qin Haoran will attack from the right! Qi Yu prepared a Heaven Bombing grenade. "

"Kill!" The earth-shattering roar of the wailing ghosts and gods came from the front!

Before Ruan Bao's army could even react, Black Shirt Army immediately shot out arrows in unison. The sky was filled with flying arrows that whistled as they pounced forward.

"Ugh …"

The horn for a charge continued to ring as the battle began.

"Swish …" Just as Ruan Bao was about to raise his head to shoot, a sharp arrow flew past his ears. Ruan Bao thought, this is nothing much, you have an archer, I have an archer too.

However, after a short while, Ruan Bao was stunned, the ones in front of the Black Shirt Army were Western Lion Heavy Cavalry soldiers, who were fully armored. Other than their noses and forehead which did not have any protection, they were just made of iron. They were not afraid of being shot by arrows at all, although occasionally some arrows would even hit Black Shirt Army's face, causing some casualties. However, the number of casualties in Ruan Bao's army was negligible.

Bows and arrows shot at each other for a quarter of an hour. The area in front of Ruan Jun was packed with corpses, and the most miserable corpses were filled with arrows. Hedgehog was no exception. Ruan Bao saw that his subordinates had suffered heavy casualties, but the other side did not have any casualties. He simply could not afford to continue like this. He could not afford to waste this kind of one-sided shooting.

Ruan Bao thought that if this was the case, he might as well sit and wait for death. He shouted, "Charge!"

"Ha!" Ruan Bao shouted in unison, "Whoosh, whoosh …" In the middle of his voice, the horse riding on the front started to shoot arrows. They turned into a rain of arrows that rained down on the opposing army. Amongst their shouts, Ruan Bao who was at the very front used his sword and his horse to rush forward.

The sound of iron hooves rose and fell one after another, resounding across the battlefield. The distance of over a hundred steps was covered in just a blink of an eye, and the two cavalrymen had almost met face to face. Sharp weapons gleamed as they reflected light, and blood splattered everywhere. He fell to the ground. The smell of blood permeated the air.

Even if Ruan Bao Army's several thousand cavalrymen were to gather, they would still be able to cover the entire sky. However, under the trampling and trampling of the Black Shirt Army's iron cavalry, they did not resist for long, and immediately became a large field full of corpses.

After the rain of arrows passed, Beigong Chun took the lead and led the army of the Black Shirt Army to rush towards the city gate, immediately slicing thousands of the enemies into two halves. Beigong Chun rode on his horse and swung his spear, the black iron tiger spear around him started to encircle his entire body, the silver light emitted by the spear was extremely bright, and from top to bottom of the thousand man army to ordinary soldiers, there was simply no one that could withstand Beigong Chun's sharp attacks.

In the cruel chaotic battle, the Western Lion cavalry soldiers were attacking ferociously, and the six to seven thousand Ruan Army cavalry were split into two by the Black Shirt Army. The Black Shirt Army immediately's cavalry did not attack the enemy at all, instead, they clashed and trampled on their mounts, causing hundreds of war horses to gallop past in a row, causing the tens or hundreds of Ruan Army cavalry soldiers to immediately fly into the air, and then become a bloody mess of flesh and blood.

Ruan Bao was also a hero, but when he saw his soldiers being crushed like mud in front of their enemies, the chaos in his head intensified, and he felt like vomiting. At this time, Ruan Bao saw that Beigong Chun was extremely ferocious, and quickly commanded the army to retreat towards the two wings. However, compared to the two flanks, the enemies on the two wings were not easy to offend either, the enemies had red eyes like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, and the sharp attack was not weaker than the enemy in the middle. Countless cavalrymen poured out in a continuous stream, their sharp weapons shooting out blood-red rays of light.

"Clang clang clang clang" The sounds of weapons clashing rang out one after another, and endless screams of rage and anger could be heard. Light flashed, and blood splattered everywhere. The chaotic number of the two armies constantly decreased, and soon, many cavalrymen fell like dumplings … Straight down, the horses who had no idea of what to do were splashing their hooves angrily in search of a way out. The warhorses who broke out of the encirclement wailed and came to pace back and forth in search of their master.

Ruan Bao saw that under Beigong Chun's lead, the Black Shirt Army had swept across. Ruan Bao's army had been attacking the city for a day and had been in a bloody battle for a long time. After barging into the city for a few miles, burning and looting had exhausted a lot of Ruan Jun's energy.

Although Black Shirt Army was also exhausted, but their usual training routine was more than twice that of ordinary troops, although they were not as spirited as before, they were still no match for Ruan Bao's army. The Black Shirt Army s on both wings did not attack together. He saw a group of people brandishing their spears and sabers like a forest. They were imposing and murderous.

Black Shirt Army was like a hot knife through butter, the six thousand or seven thousand Ruan Army soldiers were extremely nervous, their hearts were like dying embers. Everyone wanted to draw the arrows with their bows, but they found that the quiver behind them was empty. They were each equipped with a quiver of 60 arrows. In addition, he had killed close to ten thousand civilians with his arrows, which would consume a great amount of energy. At this moment, they were all dumbfounded, and their faces instantly turned deathly pale.

Ruan Bao had a fierce personality, but when he encountered difficulties, he wanted to retreat. Seeing the enemy in the middle was abnormally brave, he had thoughts of retreating. Ruan Bao's expression was in a trance at the moment, as he said dejectedly: "What are you waiting for, why aren't you attacking the enemies on both wings."

The few little Academy Officer s beside Ruan Bao looked at each other and frowned. They never thought that their general had already lost his confidence. It didn't matter if he was weaker or if the situation was dire, but if he lost his confidence, then everything was over.

Ruan Bao rushed towards the two Black Shirt Army s on both sides. Beigong Chun looked at each other and laughed, then shouted: "Since they are seeking death, then we will not be merciful. Kill them all!"

When he finished, the Black Shirt Army's Heavy Armor Cavalry split into two, chasing Ruan Jun's butt the whole way.

The two armies surged across the land like a flood. The deafening sound of the horse's hooves shook the earth.

However, the two flank Black Shirt Army s did not ride their horses forward, and more importantly, no one howled. What made people even more curious was that they did not even unsheathe their ring head knife. Other than the thundering of the horses' hooves, it gave off a very strange feeling of tranquility. This kind of silence caused one to feel a chill in their heart.

Ruan Jun's cavalry was charging at full speed. When the Ruan Cavalry's front line was less than twenty meters away, the Black Shirt Army Steel Cavalry suddenly took action. The thousands of Black Shirt Army Cavalry soldiers suddenly pulled out the ring head knife at their waists, and shouted loudly: "When the black robes attack, we are invincible!" It was like a group of ferocious tigers suddenly roaring and baring their fangs. In the eyes of the Ruan Jun soldiers, they could feel a cold light flashing through the enemy's formation. At the same time, the entire space seemed to explode as the enemy's aura seemed to soar by several folds. Suddenly, many Ruan soldiers couldn't help but feel that their opponent was a group of fierce tigers.

The Ruan soldiers who were caught off guard were shocked, even the war horses. Ruan Jun and his cavalry, who were charging at full speed, suddenly became disorderly. Some of them even stood up on their horses, and some of them even charged into the horse after them. The scene suddenly became a mess. Ruan Bao was charging from the back with the other riders, but he was also afraid of death as he was not at the front line. Ruan Bao was shocked by the black clothed man's performance to the point that he almost fell off his horse. Then, he was even more shocked when he saw his own cavalry army running amok.

In a battle between cavalry, whoever had the fastest speed would have the advantage. If one side was in a state of disarray, the consequences would be unthinkable.

Just as Ruan Jun was about to charge forward in the chaos caused by the horses' hooves, the Black Shirt Army on the two wings suddenly moved. In that instant, a blade light flashed and Ruan Jun's cavalry rode forward …

Like chestnuts on a chestnut tree in a storm, they clattered to the ground.

As Ruan Jun had lost in terms of momentum from the very beginning and had also lost the initiative, they were forced to retreat step by step. Under the ferocious attacks of the Black Shirt Army, they appeared to be in a precarious situation.

Just then, one of Ruan Jun's deputy generals spoke anxiously, "General, quickly give the order to retreat. If this continues, it will become a foregone conclusion!" It would be better to retreat into the city first and think of a way. The space within the city is small and the enemy's cavalry is numerous.

There was no time for Ruan Bao to think any further. Although there was a huge fire inside the city that prevented the army from advancing, he immediately listened to the Lieutenant General's suggestion and ordered the entire army to retreat into the city.

Just as Black Shirt Army was surrounding Ruan Jun, Xie Fei brought Qi Yu to the front of a stone slaying machine used by the Ruan Army to attack the city. As Xie Fei was a soldier from the later generations, he was well aware of the use of the catapult. However, Xie Fei had never seen it at such a close distance. The antique stone-throwing machines were like treasures, one by one they were treasured by the museum and could not be casually manipulated. Xie Fei looked around and asked Hei Shanjunshibing: "Does anyone know how to operate them?"

The Chinese catapult was first discovered during the Warring States Period, and manpower was used to pull the ends connected to the crossbar far from the catapult (the cannon was mounted on a wooden frame, one end was tied with a rope to the holster containing the stone projectiles, the other end was tied with many ropes to facilitate manpower pulling), and the stone projectiles were thrown out, separated into single ends and multiple branches. The maximum number was seven, which required 250 people to release.

However, the catapults used by Ruan Army to attack the city mostly consisted of two-pronged manual catapults, which required twenty-six people to pull the tendon noose at the same time, allowing them to throw stones weighing seven to eight kilograms at a distance of three to five hundred steps.

Although the Fourth Battalion of Black Shirt Army was currently made up of cavalry, they still had some soldiers from the Union Army, so they would naturally operate the catapult. A Hei Shanjunshibing with a knife wound on his chest jumped down from his horse, and ran forward to Xie Fei: "I will!"

Xie Fei laughed: "Alright! "What's your name?"

"Reporting to the general, the 4th Battalion, Sixteenth Regiment, Third Platoon, Deputy Ye Chong, is reporting to you!"

Xie Fei was prepared to use the catapult to throw Heaven Bombing grenade s at Ruan Jun. How could Nai Nai, Ruan Jun, be weak in combat and low in morale? At this moment, the entire Ruan Army was defeated.

They only saw the Black Shirt Army Steel Cavalry rushing back and forth as sword light flashed. Bloody light burst out, and people from the Ruan Army constantly fell off their horses. Although Ruan Jun was still doing his best to resist, they were unable to do anything under the fierce attack of the Black Shirt Army. Six to seven thousand Ruan Cavalry Soldiers were separated into ten different groups by the Black Shirt Army. The dozen Ruan Cavalry Soldiers were immediately targeted and killed by the Black Shirt Army. In the end, Ruan Jun's soldiers could not hold on any longer, and collapsed completely like a sandbank in front of a flood. Although the Ruan Jun's defeated soldiers had put down their weapons, Black Shirt Army still raised her blade high and hacked down fiercely as if she did not see anything.

In the blink of an eye, the saber light flashed as shouts reverberated in the air. Fresh blood splattered in all directions. Beigong Chun kept thrusting and sweeping along the way, killing the Ruan Army soldiers until they fell flat on their backs and wailed like ghosts and wolves. Seeing that, Ruan Jun immediately ran forward to stop Beigong Chun, but under the fierce charge of the Black Shirt Soldiers behind Beigong Chun, he was instantly killed into pieces.

Ruan Jun was unable to stop the Northern Palace, in a moment, Beigong Chun was right in front of him. Seeing that, the few brave warriors beside Ruan Bao rushed forward, wanting to stop Beigong Chun.

Beigong Chun's fighting spirit was immediately boosted, he roared and used his spear to meet the enemy's attack, and started to fight with the four Ruan Army warriors. In less than ten exchanges, Ruan Jungong had already revealed his cowardice under Beigong Chun's valiant aura. The most important thing in a battle was courage, and the most taboo thing was cowardice. If you are afraid to fight, your time of death is near. Ruan Jun was frightened. His hands inevitably slowed down and exposed a flaw. Of course, Beigong Chun would not let go of such an opportunity, he took the chance and attacked like a torrential storm.

The four Ruan Jungong were not a match for Beigong Chun alone. Two of them died after being stabbed through their chests, while the other two were injured and fled in a sorry state. Beigong Chun welcomed Ruan Bao.

Ruan Bao had lost all of his fighting spirit at this moment, he was very clear on the strength of his four side generals. Any one of them was not weaker than him, and if two of them combined could easily defeat him, the four of them could capture him within three or four rounds. In Ruan Bao's eyes, the valiant general who was good at fighting was actually weak in front of Beigong Chun.

Actually, it was not that Ruan Bao's four men's martial arts were too lacking, but that he was too strong. Seeing the guards running for their lives, Ruan Bao suddenly had the urge to cry.

Ruan Bao summoned his courage and came to Beigong Chun's front, saying timidly: "Don't kill me, I surrender!"

Beigong Chun glared at him and bellowed, "You straight mother thief, this daddy has never seen someone as weak as you. How could he have the guts to slaughter people? How could he submit now? Take your weapon, I, Beigong Chun will not kill unarmed people. "

After hearing Beigong Chun's words, Ruan Bao was really going to cry, his knees went weak, he knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please spare me, Master Hero please spare me!"

Beigong Chun fiercely glared at Ruan Bao and said: "This is really bad luck, to have met a jellyfish like you!"
