Chapter 428 Battle between Zhao Hua

On May 20th, 50,000 troops were neatly arranged outside Handan City. The general of the State of Zhao stood on the city wall and looked at the Zhao army in the distance, shaking 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, which he felt was completely unnecessary.

Hua Zichen, Xue Chen, Xue Pan, and Tang Lei stood in front of the Hua family army, looking at the 50,000 Zhao army coming out of Handan City, of which 20,000 cavalry belonged to the elite cavalry of Zhao State, which was the most powerful force of Zhao State.

"The other side sent out a large formation of 5,000 infantry. This is to test our strength. Who will go?" Hua Zichen looked at the people of the Hua family around him and asked.

"Let the Yuezhi cavalry send 2,000 people! The other side's 5,000 people are ordinary soldiers, and it is not worth the Qinglong Legion and the Undead Legion to fight." Xue Chen replied.

"The Lord did not leave any message. I think we have to let Zhao realize how powerful we are. Let the [Undead Legion] kill them all. I don't know how long it will take to drag it out. If the Lord does not come back within three days, I will lead the [Undead Legion] to seize the gate of 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 dissatisfiedly.

"Then let the [Undead Legion] take action! The enemy will not retreat and not a single one will be left alive!" Hua Zichen said.

Hua Kai was not there, and everything was decided by everyone. In the end, it was Hua Zichen who gave the order. After hearing this, Tang Lei got off his horse and came to the [Undead Legion]. All the [Undead Soldiers] put down their helmets and masks and lined up neatly to kill the Zhao infantry.

The [Undead Legion] formation was different from that of the Qin infantry. They were divided into five square formations, each with ten captains. Although the formation seemed messy, they were vaguely taking care of each other, forming a "U" formation and slowly approaching forward.

When the 5,000-man army of Zhao saw the 500 men of the Hua family fighting against them, they originally felt underestimated. However, when they approached the [Undead Legion], they suddenly felt that all the [Undead Legion] in front of them were walking in unison, and the pattern of the heavy armor on everyone's chest seemed to be the same. All the [Undead Legion] wore uniform helmets and strange masks on their faces, and everyone seemed to look exactly the same.

The general leading the Zhao army panicked when he saw this. He could feel a strong breath of death enveloping him. At this time, the entire [Undead Legion] seemed to have become one person and was approaching them.

When the two sides were 300 meters apart, some archers of the Zhao army could not help but draw their bows and arrows, and the arrows fell a hundred meters in front of the [Undead Legion]. The entire [Undead Legion] did not seem to react to this, and they continued to move forward without changing their breath frequency.

There were bursts of shouts from behind the Zhao army. They were cheering for their comrades. It was like a game between two sides, but this game was going to kill people.

The [Undead Legion] seemed to be moving slowly, but it was much faster than the Zhao infantry. Countless arrows flew towards the [Undead Legion], and the sharp arrowheads shot at the [Undead Legion]'s heavy armor, making a series of crisp collision sounds. Tang Lei walked in the front of the [Undead Legion]. On the altar of the Undead Army camp, they had experienced countless trials. Even when facing the weakest opponent, they would go all out.

The Zhao infantry saw that bows and arrows had no effect on the [Undead Legion]. They abandoned bows and arrows and took out long spears, broadswords, and shields to form a tight battle formation, approaching the [Undead Legion] step by step.

The two sides finally began to contact. Hundreds of flying spears flew out from the rear of the Zhao army. One by one, the flying spears hit the [Undead Soldier]'s heavy armor. The [Undead Soldier] couldn't help but retreat half a step, and then quickly adjusted their pace and continued to move forward.

Hundreds of Zhao's large shield soldiers walked in the front of the Zhao infantry. They waited until the [Undead Army] approached, and linked the large shields one by one on the ground to form a huge shield formation. Countless spears stabbed at the [Undead Army] several meters away from the deep gaps between the shields.

However, the Zhao soldiers' spears stabbed into the [Undead Soldier's] heavy armor, and they felt as if they had stabbed into a stone wall. Their arms were numb from the shock. The [Undead Soldier] suddenly accelerated and approached, slashing the giant shield with a knife. The shield soldier and the shield were shaken several meters away. An [Undead Soldier] had already rushed into the formation and began to slaughter their spearmen.

The generals of Zhao stood in the distance and watched all this. The [Undead Army] had only 500 people, and from a distance, they formed a semi-encirclement of the entire Zhao State's 5,000 infantry. Now Zhao State continued to organize personnel to resist, but the [Undead Army] stood still. Several [Undead Army] cooperated with the dozens of Zhao soldiers who could be killed to make them retreat continuously. The generals of Zhao State kept shouting on the side.

The shouting and killing lasted for more than ten minutes, and everyone's scalp began to numb when they saw the [Undead Army]. The grass in the distance was full of corpses of Zhao soldiers. As long as the chance of getting hurt against the [Undead Army] was not high, they were all looking for a fatal blow. In just a short while, more than 2,000 Zhao soldiers had died under the swords of the [Undead Army].

"General, General Cui and several deputy generals have died in battle. Do we have to fight anymore? This is not a battle, it's a massacre!" A Zhao general looked into the distance. At this time, the soldiers in the rear of Zhao were completely speechless, let alone shouting to appeal for morale.

The Zhao infantry, who knew the powerful [Undead Legion], had just reacted and were killed. Those who didn't know were still marching in formation. Wherever the [Undead Legion] passed, there were fallen corpses on the ground. At the moment when the Zhao general was thinking, there were only more than 1,000 Zhao infantrymen left on the battlefield!

"Send out the Zhao elite cavalry! Since Zhao has already taken action, it cannot shake the Hua family army. This will leave a shadow on all Zhao soldiers. After this battle, I will go to see the king!" The Zhao general said.

Hua Zichen saw that Zhao's 5,000 infantrymen had been almost chopped off, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers were constantly retreating under the attack of the [Undead Legion]. At this time, Zhao's most powerful cavalry finally went out.

"It's our turn! Xue Chen, you stay and command the Yuezhi Cavalry Regiment." Hua Zichen saw Zhao's elite cavalry go out, riding [Tianlongju] slowly forward. When the Qinglong Legion heard this, they all mounted their horses. It was time to let the Zhao people see the strength of the Qinglong Legion.

Tang Lei led the [Undead Legion] to slash and kill. He found that Zhao's elite cavalry had organized and prepared to charge them. He turned around and looked for the enemy's Xiantian realm generals. He had killed 6 Zhao generals today.

Zhao's 20,000 elite cavalry quickly formed a battle array, and they began to charge the [Undead Legion]. The [Undead Legion] seemed not to see this and continued to slash and kill the Zhao infantrymen in front of them. At this time, the Qinglong Legion started almost at the same time as Zhao's elite cavalry and rushed towards the battlefield.

The city of Handan was full of Zhao soldiers and officials. Some children of noble families and common people also climbed up the city wall. They saw that Zhao's elite cavalry had finally set out. The enemy seemed to only plan to use 5,000 cavalry to deal with it. They all thought that Zhao would have no problem taking down this cavalry this time, but at this time, no one was cheering for Zhao's elite cavalry.

Zhao's elite cavalry rushed towards the [Undead Legion], but just as they rushed into the [Undead Legion] within a kilometer, they saw that the Azure Dragon Legion was less than two kilometers away from them. If they rushed into the [Undead Legion] now, their speed would inevitably decrease, and they would be at a disadvantage when facing the Azure Dragon Legion. Therefore, the correct approach was to first deal with the enemy's 5,000 cavalry, and then the 500 elite infantry would be the fat meat on their chopping board.

Hua Zichen knew that Zhao's elite cavalry was not easy to deal with. As the most powerful force of Zhao, Zhao's elite cavalry were all above the Great Perfection of Kaiyuan Realm, and they had rich experience in many years of fighting. Today might be the toughest battle that the Azure Dragon Legion had encountered.

He did not dare to hold back, and used the full power of [Eight Treasures Night Armor]. When the two sides were about to make contact, they shot arrows to slow down the opponent's charge. Xue Pan shot three innate realms with three arrows, causing some confusion to the elite cavalry of Zhao State. Hua Zichen fought against the opponent's generals with all his strength. He shot the opponent's main general off his horse with one shot, and [Tianlongju] could not help but slow down. Countless long spears in front of him were already stabbing at him.

Hua Zichen ignored the opponent's attack. He knew that the most important thing now was to open a gap for the Qinglong Legion cavalry behind him. If both sides could not disperse the opponent in such a tense situation, the opponent's strength was four times that of his own, and the Qinglong Legion was at a disadvantage.

[Tianlongju] neighed, and there was a chaos in front of Zhao's elite cavalry. Hua Zichen resisted the attacks of more than ten masters of the other side. Even with the protection of [Eight Treasures Night Armor], he was slightly injured. He didn't care about these horses and took advantage of the opponent to kill into the enemy's army. The innate realms of the Qinglong Legion also took the opportunity to follow Hua Zichen. They tried their best to stab the Zhao's elite cavalry who had not yet recovered. After a while, the gap in the Zhao's elite cavalry formation became bigger and bigger, and all the soldiers of the Qinglong Legion rushed in this direction.

All the Zhao officials and people in Handan City were stunned. Zhao's 20,000 elite soldiers were directly opened by Hua's 5,000 cavalry, and the gap was getting bigger and bigger. Zhao's elite cavalry was already trying to fill the gap with human lives, but all this was useless.

At this time, [Undead Legion] had killed all 5,000 Zhao infantrymen. They gathered together and stood in place, quietly watching the battle between the Qinglong Legion and Zhao's elite cavalry, as if watching an interesting performance.

The first charge between the two armies ended, and the last cavalryman of the Qinglong Legion rushed out of the Zhao State Elite Cavalry formation. Hua Zichen saw that all the soldiers had already lined up, so he raised his spear and launched a second charge against the Zhao State Elite Cavalry.

The Zhao State Elite Cavalry had 20,000 troops, so naturally they could not line up as quickly as 5,000 troops. Moreover, their formation had just been broken up, and the quality and strength of the cavalry were not as good as those of the Qinglong Legion. When the Qinglong Legion charged again, only a small half of the Zhao State Elite Cavalry began to charge. Cavalry fighting without charging was seeking death.

This time, the Qinglong charge was much easier than the last time. In the first round of the charge between the 5,000 Qinglong Legion and the 20,000 Zhao State Elite Cavalry, the Qinglong Legion was killed about 200 people, while the Zhao State Elite Cavalry was injured about 1,000 people. According to the personnel strength, the Qinglong Legion suffered a relatively large loss, because the Zhao State Elite Cavalry had the advantage of more people.

But after the second charge, the Azure Dragon Legion lost less than a hundred people, while the Zhao State's elite cavalry suffered more than 1,500 casualties. Among them, the loss of Zhao State's innate realm was much greater than that of the Hua family. If the battle continues, the 20,000 elite cavalry of Zhao State might all be killed by the Azure Dragon Legion!
