Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 713 - 344: [Song Dynasty: I Conquered Five Kingdoms]
In the scene.
The cavalry of North Han surged in like a tide.
The warhorses roared furiously as they charged, and the formation of the Later Zhou army was already in chaos.
Even the personal guards surrounding the Later Zhou emperor Chai Rong couldn't control the confusion and began to collapse.
If the emperor's personal guards were like this, there's no need to even mention the other soldiers of Later Zhou.
The dragon banner representing Chai Rong wavered precariously amidst the North Han cavalry's charge, and the head of the guards was shot through the head by an arrow from an unknown direction.
Falling beside Chai Rong.
The surroundings became even more chaotic, and the routed soldiers were devoured by the North Han cavalry like a retreating tide.
It seemed the defeat was certain.
In fact.
Viewed from a high-altitude perspective.
The Blue Star Players in the live broadcast room shook their heads. This situation... it's basically over.
You must know that these are not troops of the Republic.
On the entire 'Earth,' with a casualty rate reaching 99%, only the Republic's troops could still fight; most other forces, throughout history, started collapsing at a 30% casualty rate.
The Later Zhou troops in the scene were in such a situation.
Even though more than 60% of the personnel still had combat power, the morale had collapsed.
There seemed to be no way out, right?
The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room thought, after all, with their level of command, such a situation couldn't even issue orders, how could you fight?
However.
Just at this moment.
The high-altitude view suddenly locked onto a spot.
Then zoomed in.
It showed Zhao Kuangyin leading a group of black-armored cavalry charging into the battlefield from the side, plunging straight into the center of the tidal North Han cavalry.
This scene.
Viewed from above, was extremely impactful.
The North Han cavalry, chasing the Later Zhou forces, suddenly got pierced and split in the middle.
Zhao Kuangyin wielded a long spear, thrusting forcefully.
The North Han cavalryman opposite was lifted entirely from his horse, pierced through the chest, and used as a shield by Zhao Kuangyin during the charge. The black-armored cavalry followed closely.
Zhao Kuangyin's cavalry, like a sharp knife, fiercely drove into the enemy's abdomen.
The North Han cavalry commander roared in response, thrusting a spear.
Whoosh—
Zhao Kuangyin's spear, however, arrived later, amidst the crossing warhorses.
The North Han commander was already pierced through the throat by Zhao Kuangyin, thrown off his horse, and trampled like a rag by the black-armored cavalry behind.
At this moment.
The surrounding North Han cavalry had stopped their charge, instead retreating in fear of Zhao Kuangyin.
Having opened up a large empty space.
North Han loosed arrows like rain, shooting toward Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin's spear tip lifted, using the corpse of a North Han cavalryman as a shield to continue charging, with black-armored cavalry following closely. Zhao Kuangyin was studded with white plumes on his shoulder armor, even taking an arrow to the arm.
His robe was stained with fresh blood.
But there was no pause whatsoever; this god-like descent was directly shattering the morale of the North Han cavalry.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin approaching, countless cavalry began to flee, afraid of being caught by this monster.
This scene.
Left the Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room wide-eyed and open-mouthed.
Holy crap?
We knew Zhao Kuangyin was fierce, but this is a bit over the top?
This is several times more ferocious than Xin Qiji.
When Xin Qiji raided camps, it was night, and Zhang Anguo was hosting a banquet.
What was Zhao Kuangyin doing?
This was a direct clash between armies, with the North Han cavalry full of morale, hacking at the Later Zhou soldiers, and Zhao Kuangyin led a cavalry charge to pierce through the North Han cavalry formations.
And even with unknown numbers of arrows embedded in the armor, continued to assault the rear of the North Han cavalry.
Forcefully scattered the North Han cavalry's morale, turning into a pursuit and slaughter.
With such an impact.
The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room clearly grasped why this emperor was considered the mightiest warrior.
To be honest....
This truly is capable of fighting, literally.
With personal valor to reverse the battlefield.
This was not a back-and-forth skirmish, or evenly matched warfare.
But the morale of the Later Zhou troops had collapsed, North Han cavalry surged forth, Zhao Kuangyin leading his elite cavalry amidst such conditions.
Leading a charge against the most spirited, peak, fiercest cavalry main forces of North Han.
In such dire scenarios.
Forcefully shattered the opposing North Han cavalry's spirit.
The Blue Star viewers in the live broadcast room began to question whether anyone in that era of Huaxia could defeat Zhao Kuangyin?
Too fierce....
This is fundamentally different from the later Song Dynasty.
How could such a fierce Taizu lead to such a weak Song Dynasty?
Blue Star viewers unfamiliar with Zhao Kuangyin naturally didn't understand the intricacies.
But after watching, they almost got it.
Still focused on the plot.
In the scene.
After Zhao Kuangyin turned the tide.
Chai Rong personally commanded the army to counterattack. Under Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong's direct command, the originally defeated Later Zhou army astonishingly reversed the situation.
Repelled the coalition forces of North Han and Qidan.
This battle.
Can indeed be said that Zhao Kuangyin saved Later Zhou.
Because in such circumstances, Chai Rong personally took to the battlefield but was wrapped in retreat by routed soldiers, North Han cavalry charging continuously, if Zhao Kuangyin hadn't suddenly broken out.
Then the Later Zhou emperor Chai Rong might have forever remained on this battlefield.
After all, the dragon banner representing the emperor was prominently there.
Unable to escape.
