The Black Book

The one-sided massacre turned into a tit-for-tat brutal confrontation. On the bloody battlefield, broken limbs and arms flew everywhere, and even the heavy rain could not cover up the pungent smell of blood.

Seeing this scene, the Centaur Ten Thousand, who was originally calm, widened his eyes and vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

How did these two-legged sheep become so fierce?

In fact, in the previous war of attrition, the Centaur officers led by Hongjila had noticed the signs.

The soldiers of [Dazhen] were much stronger than expected in terms of strength, toughness, and endurance!

However, due to the vassal cannon fodder who went to the battle and the opponent's city defense battle, the Centaur side did not have a specific feeling.

However, now, on the plain with no defense, the Centaur group that was ready to charge faced the exhausted infantry who were fighting on their own. This should have been a hearty massacre!

What's weird is that the enemy actually broke out with terrifying combat power and turned the massacre into a meat-mincing battle!

Looking at the falling Centaur soldiers, Chigu Mantu felt heartbroken.

You know, these are the direct descendants of his tribe, the foundation of his livelihood, and the most elite guards of the Golden King's Court!

Before, these guys could fight ten against ten even if they faced the elite of [Dazhen]!

If hundreds of people form a team, combined with exquisite tactics, they can even defeat an infantry army without injury!

In the previous Western Expedition, they had played an extremely exaggerated battle loss ratio more than once.

A team of more than a dozen people dared to chase hundreds or thousands of people!

Whether it is humans or other races, when facing the Centaur army with both strength and speed, they can only be crushed into pieces in the end.

But now, they fell in groups under the swords and guns of [Dazhen] soldiers.

This can no longer be explained by the victory of the army of mourners!

In an instant, an absurd idea emerged in Chigu Mantu's mind.

Could it be that the information is true, and [Dazhen] has begun to popularize peerless skills among the people?

This convincing intelligence was a joke in the eyes of the Centaurs.

No matter which country, top-level skills are scarce resources monopolized by the upper nobles and the foundation of their family inheritance. How can they be easily spread?

Even if there is a peerless skill that is widely spread on the market, the nobles will quickly strangle it to death to prevent anyone from threatening their status.

Selfishness and cherishing one's own possessions are the instincts of living things. Chigu Mantu does not believe that the emperor of [Dazhen] can violate human nature and force the spread of skills!

But the tragic situation in front of them cannot be faked. The desperate [Dazhen] soldiers actually fought with the guards at a nearly three-to-one exchange ratio.

For every three [Dazhen] soldiers killed, one guard will fall!

You know, these guys have been fighting for dozens of days in a row, while their own guards have been recuperating!

They are so tired that they are in such a state. If the two sides are fighting fairly, they should be exchanged one for one, right?

Thinking of this, Chigu Mantu couldn't help but shudder.

As a natural cavalry race, centaurs are naturally stronger than humans, but reproduction is more difficult.

Moreover, competing with the ancient empire in the south is the nightmare of every generation of grassland empires.

Even if it is ten to one, it can't win, let alone one to one!

Gritting his teeth, even if he was unwilling, Chigu Mantu still issued an order.

"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops!"

Too woo woo woo~

The deep sound of the horn penetrated the rain curtain and echoed faintly on the battlefield. The centaurs who had been fighting endlessly heard the signal, disengaged in an orderly manner, and reorganized and assembled.

At the same time, the soldiers of [Dazhen] also took the opportunity to re-form a battle formation and confronted the enemy from a distance.

He tried to draw the bow and shoot, but the heavy rain softened the bowstring, and the arrows shot out had no power. Chigu Mantu gritted his teeth and glared at the sky.

"Damn God..."

However, in a field battle, the cavalry has absolute initiative, and the [Dazhen] army dared not move at all, and the two sides fell into a stalemate.

But as time passed, Chigu Mantu suddenly found that the morale of the opposing army was declining rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Many people couldn't even hold their weapons, and even couldn't stand steadily, and fell to the ground uncontrollably.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and Chigu Mantu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth fiercely.

"I thought some peerless magic was so powerful, but it turned out to be just overdrawing life..."

Immediately, Chigu Mantu looked around and waved his hand viciously.

"They are exhausted, crush them!"

"Your order!"

The thousand households under his command took the order and left, and the world's most powerful cavalry charge started again.

But this time, the [Dazhen] army had no power to fight back, and the soldiers who were completely exhausted couldn't even lift a finger. They could only watch the surging iron hooves block their vision, crush themselves into pieces, and step into the mud.

"Kill, kill, kill! Forward! Break through [Luxia Pass]!"

………………

"What? The enemy broke through three passes in a row? Sweeping a thousand miles?"

As soon as he arrived in Yongzhou, Zhu Haomiao was caught off guard. Along the way, there were civilians fleeing to the hinterland with their families.

In the chaotic team, Zhu Haomiao found a few officials and fell silent after asking about the situation.

The side effects of the fall of the King of Yue were more serious than he expected.

When the enemy attacked the pass with Luo Ming's head, the morale of the defending soldiers was directly reduced to zero.

In addition, the most elite and capable front-line troops were completely wiped out during the retreat, and the remaining second- and third-line troops almost collapsed at the first blow. In just a few days, the centaurs who came and went like the wind swept most of Yongzhou.

"Is there any organized resistance force now?"

"No, those four-legged beasts broke up the defenders, and then dispersed to rape and plunder everywhere. The entire Yongzhou land was devastated. Duke Yu, you must help us get revenge!"

The official who spoke knelt on the ground, hugged the thigh of the black-clothed boy and cried in grief and anger.

None of his family of more than 50 people were spared, and his parents and wife were slaughtered by the chaotic army. If he hadn't still had the intention of revenge, he would have given up long ago.

"Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."

Helping the official up, the boy's gentle words with a strange magic easily soothed his excited emotions, aroused his inner hatred, and inspired high morale.

"Leave the frontal battle to us, but you are responsible for organizing the people and doing the logistics work. Can you do it?"

The originally chaotic and crazy eyes gradually gathered, and the official's eyes full of hatred showed a trace of determination, and nodded fiercely.

"Yes!"

"Very good, the new troops from various provinces will gather in Yongzhou in the future, and use it as a springboard to go out of the pass and march west. Your task is very heavy."

Patting the official's shoulder, Zhu Haomiao deliberately revealed the information, which made his eyes explode with unbelievable ecstasy.

"Go out of the pass?"

Seeing this, the black-clothed boy smiled and nodded.

"If the enemy can go, I can go too."
