On the 20th of May, 50,000 soldiers lined up outside of Handan City. The general of Zhao stood on the city wall and looked at the Zhao army in the distance and shook his head.
How could he not know what the king of Zhao was thinking? At this time, the king of Zhao still wanted to test the Hua family.
Hua Zichen, Xue Chen, Xue Pan, and Tang Lei stood in front of the Hua family army and looked at the 50,000 Zhao army coming out of Handan City. 20,000 of them were the elite cavalry of Zhao, and they were the most powerful force in Zhao.
"The enemy has sent out 5,000 infantry troops to test our strength. Who's going?" Hua Zichen looked at the Hua Family members beside him and asked.
"Let the Yue family cavalry send 2,000 people!
They are all normal soldiers, and they aren't worth the Green Dragon Legion and the Undead Legion, "Xue Chen replied.
"The lord didn't say anything. I think we need to let Zhao know how strong we are. Let the Undead Legion kill them all. Who knows how long it will take.
If the lord doesn't come back in three days, I'll lead the Undead Legion to take down Handan City.
Let's go to the Zhao palace to pick up the lord! "Tang Lei looked at the Zhao army in the distance and said unhappily.
"Then let the Undead Legion do it!
If the enemy doesn't retreat, don't leave a single one alive! "Hua Zichen said.
Hua Kai wasn't here, so everything was decided by everyone. In the end, Hua Zichen was the one who gave the orders. Tang Lei got off his horse and came to the front of the Undead Legion. All the Undead Legion took off their helmets and masks and lined up neatly to kill the Zhao infantry.
The Undead Legion's formation was different from the Qin infantry. They were divided into 5 square formations, and each formation had 10 captains. The formation looked messy, but they were all looking after each other. They formed a 'U' formation and slowly moved forward.
When the 5,000 soldiers of the State of Zhao saw the 500 people of the Hua family fighting against them, they felt that they were being underestimated. However, when they approached the Undead Army, they suddenly felt that everyone in the Undead Army was moving in unison. Their chest armor was moving up and down in the same rhythm. Everyone in the Undead Army was wearing a helmet and a strange mask. They all looked the same.
The Zhao Country's general couldn't help but panic when he saw this. He could feel a powerful aura of death enveloping him. At this moment, the entire Undead Legion seemed to have turned into one person and was approaching them.
When the distance between the two sides was 300 meters, some of the archers in the Zhao Country's army couldn't help but shoot. The arrows fell 100 meters in front of the [Undead Legion], but the [Undead Legion] didn't seem to have any reaction. Their breathing frequency didn't change as they continued forward.
Shouts came from behind the Zhao army. They were cheering for their comrades. It was like a game between two sides, except that people would die in this game.
The [Undead Legion] seemed to be moving slowly, but they were much faster than the Zhao Country's infantry. Countless arrows flew towards the [Undead Legion], and the sharp arrowheads landed on the heavy armor of the [Undead Legion].
Tang Lei walked at the front of the [Undead Legion]. They had gone through countless trials on the altar. Even when facing the weakest opponent, they would go all out.
When the Zhao Country's infantry saw that their arrows had no effect on the [Undead Legion], they gave up on their bows and took out their spears, swords, and shields. They formed a tight battle formation and approached the [Undead Legion] step by step.
The two sides finally came into contact. Hundreds of flying spears flew out from behind the Zhao Country's army and struck the heavy armor of the [Undead Legion]. The [Undead Legion] couldn't help but take half a step back. However, they quickly adjusted their pace and continued forward.
The hundreds of Zhao Country's shieldbearers walked at the front. When the [Undead Legion] got close, they placed their shields on the ground and formed a huge shield formation.
Countless spears pierced through the gaps between the shields towards the [Undead Legion] that was a few meters away.
However, when the spears of the Zhao Country's soldiers pierced through the heavy armor of the [Undead Legion], they felt as if they had pierced through a stone wall. Their arms couldn't help but go numb.
The [Undead Legion] suddenly sped up and slashed down on the shield. The shieldbearers and their shields were sent flying a few meters away. An [Undead Legion] had already charged into the formation and started to slaughter the spearmen.
The Zhao Country's generals stood in the distance and looked at all of this. The [Undead Legion] only had 500 people, and from afar, they had already surrounded the 5,000 Zhao Country's infantry. The Zhao Country's soldiers continuously tried to defend, but the [Undead Legion] just stood there and didn't move. A few [Undead Legion] were able to kill tens of Zhao Country's soldiers, causing them to continuously retreat. The Zhao Country's generals continuously shouted from the side.
The battle cries lasted for ten or so minutes, and everyone who saw the [Undead Legion] felt their scalps go numb.
In the distance, there were corpses of Zhao Country's soldiers everywhere. As long as they faced the [Undead Legion], the chances of them being injured were not high. They all tried to kill them with one strike. In just a short while, more than 2,000 Zhao Country's soldiers had already died under the blades of the [Undead Legion].
"General, General Cui and a few deputies have already died in battle. Do we still want to continue fighting?
This isn't a battle, it's a massacre! "
A Zhao Country's general looked into the distance. At this moment, the Zhao Country's soldiers at the back were completely speechless, let alone shouting to raise their morale.
The Zhao Country's infantry who knew how strong the [Undead Legion] was were were already killed by the time they reacted. Those who didn't know continued to advance. Everywhere the [Undead Legion] passed, there were corpses all over the ground. Just as the Zhao Country's general was thinking, there were only 1,000 Zhao Country's infantry left on the battlefield.
"Send out the Zhao Country's elite cavalry!
Since the Zhao Country has already made their move, they won't be able to do anything to the Hua family's army. This will leave a shadow in their hearts.
After this battle, I'll go see the king! "The Zhao Country's general said.
Hua Zichen saw that the 5,000 Zhao Country's infantry were almost all killed, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers were continuously retreating under the attacks of the [Undead Legion]. At this moment, the Zhao Country's strongest cavalry finally made their move.
"It's our turn!
Xue Chen, stay behind and command the Yue Family's cavalry. "
Hua Zichen saw the Zhao Country's elite cavalry move out. He rode the [Heavenly Dragon Colt] and slowly advanced. The Azure Dragon Legion heard this and all mounted their horses. It was time to let the Zhao Country's people see the strength of the Azure Dragon Legion.
Tang Lei led the [Undead Legion] and killed for a while. He realized that the Zhao Country's elite cavalry had already formed up and were preparing to charge at them. He turned around and looked for the enemy's Xiantian Realm generals. He had already killed 6 of them today.
The 20,000 Zhao Country's elite cavalry quickly formed up and began to charge at the [Undead Legion]. The [Undead Legion] didn't seem to see this and continued to kill the Zhao Country's infantry. At this moment, the Azure Dragon Legion and the Zhao Country's elite cavalry moved out at the same time and charged towards the battlefield.
Handan City was filled with Zhao Country's soldiers and officials. Some aristocratic family's disciples and commoners also climbed up the city walls. They saw that the Zhao Country's elite cavalry had finally made their move. The enemy seemed to only be planning to use 5,000 cavalry to deal with them. They all felt that there wouldn't be a problem for the Zhao Country to take down this cavalry. However, at this moment, no one was cheering for the Zhao Country's elite cavalry.
The Zhao Country's elite cavalry charged towards the [Undead Legion]. However, when they were within 1,000 meters of the [Undead Legion], they saw that the Azure Dragon Legion was less than 2,000 meters away.
If they charged into the [Undead Legion]'s formation now, their speed would definitely decrease. At that time, they would be at a disadvantage against the Azure Dragon Legion. Therefore, the right thing to do was to first deal with the enemy's 5,000 cavalry and then the 500 elite infantry would be their meat on the chopping board.
Hua Zichen knew that the Zhao Country's elite cavalry wasn't easy to deal with. As the strongest army in the Zhao Country, the Zhao Country's elite cavalry were all at the peak of the Natal Opening Realm and had rich battle experience. Today might be the toughest battle that the Azure Dragon Legion had ever faced.
He didn't dare to hold back and used the full power of the [Eight Treasures Night Armor]. When the two sides were about to clash, they shot out arrows to decrease the enemy's charging speed. Xue Pan's three arrows took away the lives of three Higher Heaven Realm soldiers and created a certain amount of chaos for the Zhao Country's elite cavalry. Hua Zichen went all out against the enemy's general. He shot down the enemy's general with one spear and the Sky Dragon Colt's speed couldn't help but decrease as countless spears stabbed towards him.
Hua Zichen didn't care about the enemy's attacks. He knew that the most important thing right now was to create a gap for the Azure Dragon Legion's cavalry behind him. If both sides couldn't disperse the enemy's formation, then the Azure Dragon Legion would be in a disadvantageous position.
The Sky Dragon Colt neighed and the Zhao Country's elite cavalry was in chaos. Hua Zichen took the attacks of more than 10 experts head on. Even with the protection of the [Eight Treasures Night Armor], he still suffered light injuries. He couldn't care about his horses and took the opportunity to charge into the enemy's formation. The Higher Heaven Realm soldiers of the Azure Dragon Legion also took the opportunity to follow closely behind Hua Zichen. They tried their best to assassinate the Zhao Country's elite cavalry that hadn't recovered from their shock. Soon, the gap in the Zhao Country's elite cavalry became bigger and bigger as all the Azure Dragon Legion soldiers charged in this direction.
All the Zhao Country's officials and citizens in Handan City were shocked. The Zhao Country's twenty thousand elites were actually opened up by the Hua family's five thousand cavalry. Furthermore, this gap was getting bigger and bigger. The Zhao Country's elite cavalry were already trying their best to use their lives to fill up the gap, but it was all to no avail.
At this time, the [Undead Army] had already killed all five thousand Zhao Country's soldiers. They gathered together and stood in place, quietly watching the battle between the Azure Dragon Legion and the Zhao Country's elite cavalry. It was as if they were watching an interesting show.
After the first charge of the two armies ended, the last cavalry of the Azure Dragon Legion charged out of the Zhao Country's elite cavalry formation. Hua Zichen saw that all the soldiers were in formation. He raised the spear in his hand and charged towards the Zhao Country's elite cavalry for the second time.
The Zhao Country's twenty thousand elite cavalry were naturally not as fast as five thousand. Furthermore, their formation had just been broken up, and the quality of the cavalry was not as good as the Azure Dragon Legion. When the Azure Dragon Legion charged again, only a small portion of the Zhao Country's elite cavalry had started to charge. In a cavalry battle, if you didn't charge, you would be courting death.
This time, the Azure Dragon Legion's charge was much easier than the previous one. In the first round, the Azure Dragon Legion lost about two hundred men, while the Zhao Country's elite cavalry lost about a thousand men. In terms of strength, the Azure Dragon Legion's loss was greater because the Zhao Country's elite cavalry had the advantage in numbers.
However, after the second charge, the Azure Dragon Legion lost less than a hundred men, while the Zhao Country's elite cavalry lost more than fifteen thousand men. Among them, the Zhao Country's casualties were much higher than the Hua family's. If the battle continued, the twenty thousand Zhao Country's elite cavalry might all fall under the Azure Dragon Legion's feet!
