1197 Going Against Logic (1/2)

Chapter 1197 – Going Against Logic

8th month, 8th day, Fallen Phoenix City.

The orange red sun slowly rose up on the hill opposite to the canyon, throwing down a halo down at the canyon opening. Under the shine of the sun, Phoenix Castle appeared really bright and eye-catching.

With their backs facing the rising sun, Huo Qubing and Meng Tian stood side by side once more.

Last night, the two of them spoke till the dead of night, summarizing their experiences in the camp outside. They added to one another's words, understanding Lianpo's formation to a great extent.

Today was the day that the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps would officially charge.

”It would be better if we could probe for another day.” Meng Tian felt a little regretful. After all, in just one afternoon, the two of them might still have parts that they did not understand about the formation. These doubts might become hidden killing opportunities for the enemy.

They could wait but the blazing legion corps could not.

Maybe because they were stimulated by the appearance of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps in Fallen Phoenix City, but Wuqi led the three armies of Great Zhou to surround the blazing legion corps and totally cut off their way up north yesterday.

The blazing legion corps that was surrounded was in great danger and could be crushed at any moment.

Under such a situation, Fallen Phoenix City could only take a gamble to swiftly charge out of the formation to win a living chance for the blazing legion corps. if not, the Great Jin army was going to collapse.

Huo Qubing was very optimistic, smiling, ”There is nothing on the battlefield that is 100% certain.”

”That's right.”

Meng Tian nodded, turning around and bowing to Huo Qubing, ”So, it's up to you!”

Huo Qubing returned with a bow and said confidently, ”Watch me!” As he said that, he turned around and left the tower, starting the prebattle preparations. Near the main gate, the three legions of the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps had lined up.

”Let's go!”

Huo Qubing did not say much, just giving the order to set off.

To the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, war was common, and they naturally had their own methods to be motivated by themselves.

Along with the gates opening, cavalry troops charged out squad by squad. Facing the rising sun, they were brimming with life. Their red capes fluttered in the wind, seemingly cheering the Guards Legion Corps soldiers on.

In this battle, they could only win and could not lose.

Within the tower, Meng Tian looked at the Great Xia legion corps troops that were like a dragon exiting the ocean and fell deep into thought.

...

Palace guards camp, command high ground.

It seemed like Lianpo had predicted the tough battle of today. He came early to this high ground to face the new day of challenges. However, the moment the Phoenix Castle gates opened, the ones charging out were Great Xia Guards Legion Corps soldiers, which Lianpo surprised.

”Are they taking turns to attack?”

When the enemy held the numerical advantage, it was normal for them to choose such a tactic. However, for some reason, when Lianpo saw the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps troops attack, he felt really uneasy.

”Am I really old and subconsciously fearful of Great Xia?”

Lianpo's face turned a little ugly. He was not deaf or blind, and the evaluation the king had of him privately had entered his ears, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Just as Lianpo was deep in thought, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps had already charged into the formation and engaged in slaughter.

In just the first engagement, the Great Zhou palace guards were pushed on the back foot. First, Huo Qubing already had a clear understanding of the enemy formation, and secondly, Great Xia Guards Legion Corps was a level stronger than the Great Jin Guards.

In the first round of cavalry charging, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps used their killing machine-enhanced horse lance. Along with the cavalry's high speed charge, they were pretty much monsters.

No matter how flexible and adaptive the palace guards were, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps only had one way to breakthrough. They would just forcefully charge across. The horse lance formed up in lines, and the shining cold light formed up many human killing machines.

Anywhere the army passed, only meat paste was left, and there were no living beings left on the ground.

The front row of palace guards did not even manage to give out their last screams before they were crushed by the rumbling current, and they could not even cause a wave.

Huo Qubing wanting to use force to breakthrough was obviously not just words.

Great Xia's three legions were like three sharp knives forming into a trident as they stabbed right into the stomach of the enemy. Under the command of Meng Tian, they proceeded forth with gusto.

Traps? All useless!

Human wall? Even more useless!

Encirclements? Could not be done!

The Great Xia Guards Legion Corps were like a bunch of ferocious beasts and were rather like the beast wave that appeared in the wilderness, rumbling as they charged in. They did not leave any face or show any mercy, showing no fear of death. They only bothered about charging forward.

Compared to the Great Jin Guards Legion Corps, the Great Xia Guards Legion Corps was simply more gory and more brutal.

Maybe this was a beautiful part of war.

The beauty of violence!

Facing such a brutal Great Xia Guards Legion Corps, the Great Zhou palace guards appeared lacking in preparation.

The battle yesterday had tortured them enough, and they had lost a lot of soldiers. It was not easy to rest up for a night, and they had not fully recovered their energy and were faced with an even fiercer challenge.

Some soldiers even recognized that the enemy was the famous Great Xia Guards Legion Corps.

The Great Xia Guards Legion Corps were not unfamiliar with the Great Zhou palace guards. One could even say that they were one of the armies that had fought with them the most in the wilderness.
