Chapter 1382 The Curtain Falls on Pucha
Chapter 1382 The Curtain Falls on Pucha
Eight thousand Jin soldiers, like a tidal wave, swept in from the front!
These eight thousand Jin soldiers looked very fierce and imposing.
But this tide was cleaved in two by a trident! A thick crimson hue instantly filled the entire battlefield!
The trident, led by its three tips, frantically tore and sliced through the entire tide!
"Die! Die!"
Yang Zaixing swung his spear incessantly, sending the charging enemy soldiers flying one by one! With each enemy soldier he knocked away, the fanaticism on his face grew stronger!
"roll!"
Niu Gao wielded a long spear in one hand and an iron mace in the other, striking with both hands. Each blow carried immense power, and every Jin soldier struck by him suffered broken bones and ruptured tendons, coughing up blood as they flew backward!
Yue Fei remained silent, his eyes resolute. His spear, Li Quan, transformed once more into countless stars, striking down his men time and again!
Three people, three sharp points, unstoppable!
"Damn it! Damn it!"
Puchasi had just withstood a blow from Yue Fei. Although he was shaken and his blood was churning, he managed to stay on his horse and was now in the formation of the Beiwei Army along with the other Jurchens who had not fallen off their horses.
Puchas used his shield to protect himself while looking back. He could see people falling from their horses at the point where the two armies clashed, but judging from the clothing of those who fell, it seemed that most of them were his own cavalrymen!
This left Puchasi somewhat incredulous. How could this be? Our Great Jin Dynasty is full of horseback warriors, how could these Yi people possibly defeat us?!
But there's no time for him to think now, because the pace of the clash between the two sides is very fast. In the chaos of battle, one cannot afford to lose focus, or he could very well be the next one to fall!
Soon, the two groups completed their first clash, and Yue Fei and the others realized that the number of Jurchens far exceeded their own!
"Turn the horses around! Front ranks become rear ranks, rear ranks become front ranks, keep charging!!"
Yue Fei and his two companions broke away from the formation and returned to the front of the column!
"Brother, they have quite a lot of people."
The fervor on Yang Zaixing's face faded slightly, and his tone became serious.
"Yes, I think it's close to 10,000."
Yue Fei glanced at the corpses lying on the ground after the first charge, his expression grim.
"General, even if the three of us are brave, we have no advantage in a direct confrontation with them."
Niu Gao's face was already bruised; a small scratch had appeared on it without anyone noticing.
"You've been infected?"
"It was nothing. I was slashed by an enemy as I passed by, and I just swung my mace and sent him to his death."
Niu Gao reached out and wiped his face, casually removing the blood.
"One more charge!"
Yue Fei raised his spear and charged again. This time, the formation changed again, transforming into the shape of a roc!
"Attack!!"
On the Jin side, Puchas was very upset to see the scene after the first round of attacks. However, he had also sensed something earlier: the enemy had fewer people!
"Warriors! Charge again! We outnumber them! Don't be intimidated! Our Great Jin is the strongest cavalry!"
The morale of the Jin soldiers was still very high, and under the command of Puchasi, they quickly assembled!
"kill!!"
This time, the Jin army's formation took the shape of an eagle! Both sides were filled with birds of prey!
The roc facing off against the eagle, which is even larger, looks rather strange!
"Spread your wings!"
The Jin army transformed into falcons, suddenly spreading their wings and flying in unison, attacking the Beiwei Army from both sides once again!
Although both sides were on the left and right flanks, during the first charge, the left and right flanks seemed more like they were trying to encircle the Dayi Army. But this time, the Jin army's flanks had an aura of wanting to ruthlessly cut down the Beiwei Army!
"The Roc extends its claws!"
Faced with this enemy formation, Yue Fei could not abandon his post. What was a falcon? He was a roc!
So under his command, the roc that the Beiwei Army had transformed into suddenly stretched out two sharp claws. Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing each took one claw and fiercely stabbed into the two flanks of the Jin army!
They seemed to be trying to use those two claws to tear off the falcon's wings!
"Bang!!"
"Xilulu——"
The clash of steel, the neighing of warhorses, and the agonizing screams echoed across the land once more. Though the roc was small, its two sharp talons truly tore the falcon's wings apart! Severed arms flew through the air! Heads fell to the ground! Clumps of dark red appeared on the grassland!
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Puchas panicked. If the lack of advantage in the first round of confrontation could be explained by the Jin soldiers' carelessness, in the second round, their Falcon Formation had already been deployed, and they had even used their previously almost invincible wing attack. Despite having a numerical advantage, they were still at a disadvantage!
What does this mean? It means that their opponents are far stronger than them! If it weren't for their numerical disadvantage, they would probably be wiped out here already!
"Central Command! The decisive blow!"
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and after gaining an advantage on both flanks, Yue Fei commanded the central army to launch a powerful attack. The central army, like the head of a roc with its sharp beak open, fiercely pecked at the center of the Jin army!
And blocking Yue Fei's way was the Jin army's central force led by Puchasi!
"How come they know this too?"
This tactic of using a bird's beak as a central attack is a common killing move of the Pucha tribe's Falcon Formation. It is usually the final blow from the center after they have broken the enemy's formation with their flanks. I never expected that someone would use it first today!
"Don't panic! We outnumber them! Let's hold them off!"
Puchas shouted loudly, trying to stop the central army's counterattack!
But what they didn't expect was that the Beiwei Army, which slashed in from both flanks like claws, would actually pull out crossbows and fire arrows while they were running!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Although the crossbow bolts have a short range, their penetrating power is not bad at all. In addition, the Beiwei Army is currently in the Jin army's formation. As long as they pay a little attention to the direction and avoid accidentally injuring their own people, there is no need to worry about missing their target!
Many Jin cavalrymen hadn't even reacted before they were clutching their eyes and screaming in agony, or clutching their throats and falling from their horses! The Jin army's falcon formation began to crumble, and some cavalrymen were already preparing to flee!
"Don't panic! There are more of us! There are more of us!"
Puchas struggled to maintain control of the entire team, his voice growing hoarse without him even realizing it.
"Got you!"
But the consequence of doing so was that Yue Fei found him amidst the chaos of battle!
"Come and die!"
Yue Fei spurred his warhorse, and with his spear, Li Quan, he unleashed a swirling storm of power, breaking through numerous obstacles and charging towards Pu Chasi!
"It's you!!"
Puchasi naturally had a strong impression of Yue Fei, after all, Yue Fei had almost knocked him off his horse during the first wave of the attack.
However, Yue Fei's near-one-on-one fighting style at this moment made it impossible for him to escape. In a one-on-one battle between generals, whoever escapes loses!
"Long live the Great Jin!"
Puchas shouted slogans and charged forward with his sword and shield raised!
"Oh!"
With a single strike, the Liquan Spear pierced through Puchasi's shield, its momentum undiminished, continuing forward and deeply embedding itself in his left arm!
"what!!"
A tremendous pain struck instantly, but Puchasi was a ruthless man. To avoid being pulled off his horse by Yue Fei's weapon, he actually severed his own arm with a single stroke!
Then, taking advantage of the momentum of the horse, he quickly closed the distance between himself and Yue Fei, and with all his might, he unleashed the strongest slash of his life at Yue Fei!
Even if I can't kill you, I'll still severely injure you!
This was Puchasi's only thought. As the leader of the Pucha tribe, he absolutely did not want the Pucha tribe to be disgraced again!
If it were Yue Fei three years ago when he first arrived at Beidaying, he would probably be stunned by this reckless fighting style. But now, Yue Fei has a deep understanding of how ruthless these Jurchens are!
Faced with Puchasi's desperate attack, he twisted the spear shaft with both hands, and the Liquan Spear instantly split in two. With a beautiful spear dance with his left hand, he moved the sharp snake tail of the spear to the front position and thrust it into Puchasi's chest!
When the attack struck, Puchasi's sword was still more than two feet away from Yue Fei's body!
The Liquan Spear is eighteen feet long in total; even if it were split in two, it would still be long!
"Pfft!"
Puchasi stared wide-eyed at the wound on his chest in disbelief, and then his body, missing an arm, fell limply from his horse!
Damn it, how can these benefactors be so strong!
My Pu, the Pucha tribe... this is the end of an era...
