Chapter 28: Wind and Rain (28)(1/3)
.
After Qin Bao led 300 cavalry to stand out, Zhang Xing realized that the battle was already out of control.
This is out of control. This does not mean that the war situation is going to be bad, but that this battle has started from the entanglement within the gang after the military uprising in Jiangdu, to the repeated changes in the situation between the two sides after the Forbidden Army crossed the river, and finally reached the point where it is no longer possible.
To the point where one person's personal will controls the direction.
Because what follows is an irreversible charge with the main forces of both sides facing each other, a reckless war and killing, and a collision where everyone on both sides must do their best for survival and victory.
Besides, Huaibei is the main distribution area during the plum rain season, so there are naturally ways to cope with the plum rain... Regardless of the official roads and trails here, they are commonly mixed with a kind of gravel called "shajiang stone", which not only facilitates drainage, but also can
Soil conservation, combined with various ditches and vegetation, greatly reduces muddy terrain.
However, this thing also needs regular maintenance, and it cannot withstand damage, so here in Qiaojun, the southernmost area is basically broken, but most of the areas in the north where the Gang rules the radiation zone, including the battlefield here, are still functioning.
has an obvious effect.
Qin Bao and Sanbaiqi were ready to use this Shajiang Road to fly out at a speed that exceeded the expectations of the two generals.
After all, both sides were originally marching and on the road.
"Zhang thief bullied me too much!"
Seeing the three hundred knight thieves breaking away from the main force, taking a slight turn along the road and heading straight into their own center, even though Sima Jinda had already decided to retreat, he couldn't help but get furious because this kind of attack was too arrogant.
He and his six thousand imperial troops were almost regarded as nothing, but even so, he suppressed his emotions with reason and made a response that was most suitable for the battlefield situation.
"All three of your teams go out and form a formation to block the attack! Spears in front, bows and crossbows behind, swords and shields around the sides! The rest continue to turn around and gather the army!"
Three teams of mobile groups directly under the generals were dispatched immediately.
Obviously, the "Three Teams and Mobile Clusters" system that Li Ding repeatedly promoted in the Wu'an Army and the Army was a natural configuration for the Forbidden Army, and was even more complete.
"Seven Generals!"
The cavalryman who was dozens of steps away did not come forward at all, but shouted from a distance in the drizzle. "Since Zhang Thief is in front of us, the vanguard he sent cannot be underestimated. Let's block it too!"
"Let's go!" Sima Jinda agreed to the other party's proposal without any hesitation.
Immediately, about thirty or forty knights galloped out of the turning formation. They were the personal guards of Sima Jinda. Most of these elite knights were practitioners, and they were all members of the imperial army. But looking at their roots, they were actually Sima's private knights.
Soldiers, Jiangdu relied on these people to kill the King of Qi that day.
However, as soon as this elite team galloped out of the formation and before they took over the formation, the dignified right servant She became frustrated on the spot.
Without him, Sima Jinda just thought of something at this time, that is, his brother had more capable private soldiers, but they all went to Qiao County with him, and there was even an expert in condensing pills there.
And now he already regretted letting these people rush out rashly.
After all, as the confidant said, those who came must be the elite sent by Zhang thief to charge into the battle, or even the private soldiers raised by Zhang thief in the east of Hebei Province. And now he has so few private soldiers, if he loses, it will be in vain.
Wouldn't it be a pity to go up? But it worked, but if the Sima clan's private soldiers were all present, wouldn't the certainty be greater? From this, I even thought that the biggest problem of the Forbidden Army now is that each department is separated, and the commander does not know who it is.
, and no matter what the sect of the thief is, if the thief's banner is here at this time, how can it unite people's hearts? If the imperial army is all-in-one and single-minded, and his brother personally gathers the people here, why should he be afraid of the thief and even leave before the battle?
However, Sima Jinda was thinking all over the place, but he couldn't keep up with the changes in the situation... On Shajiang Road, the cavalry galloped up, their horseshoes clanging. It was almost as if the three teams here had just crossed the military column in reverse and had not yet had time to form their formation. It was convenient for the other party.
He was already several hundred steps away.
The leader of the private soldiers did not dare to neglect and led his troops to the top. However, he did not launch a face-to-face charge as imagined. Instead, he mounted his own infantry on the flank next to the road, and mixed infantry and cavalry to cover each other and try to force the enemy.
The opponent slows down and enters a melee.
Unfortunately, the thief's cavalry did not slow down.
Instead, there was a sudden shout coming dozens of steps in front of the Forbidden Army formation, and countless amounts of true energy of various colors, either like mist or like light, suddenly leaked out!
Almost everyone in the Forbidden Army who had a little knowledge of cultivation was horrified, including Sima Jinda. The breath he had just recovered was again blocked in his chest... At this time, how could he not know that this was the gang that dared to use hundreds of people to
How confident are you that the Chinese army is riding towards you?!
With so many masters showing their true energy, one can almost think that they are all masters of Qijing, the seeds of condensation and elixir formation! The gang is actually able to maintain so many generals, generals, and team generals in each battalion.
Moreover, it was used in this obviously raid-like battle, which clearly illustrates the thief's true strength.
Could it be that the thieves have really penetrated dozens of prefectures and counties in the upper and lower reaches of the river and Ji River? Have all the local heroes recognized these thieves?
However, where thieves started, didn't the big leaders and leaders come from the counties upstream of Jishui River? Otherwise, why were they so resistant to the imperial army moving from Liang County to Xingyang? Then why were the other counties so easy?
obey?
While their thoughts were in confusion, the group of master thieves in front had already rushed to the rear-cut troops of the Forbidden Army. With their true energy acting as a medium of attack and protection, the cavalry rushed directly into the formation, causing huge damage in an instant and almost immediately breaking through the formation.
Seeing this situation, Sima Jinda's personal guard leader, who was also the person with the highest cultivation level among the Forbidden Army's troops, released his true energy without hesitation, and then launched a reverse charge towards the big man who was leading the thief.
This is a desperate charge, but it is a struggle for survival... If you don't charge, you will be defeated; if you charge, there is still a glimmer of hope.
After all, there are so many Qijing masters on the other side, but they are not connected together to form a real Qi army formation. It may be that the opponent's generals cherish their lives and dare not go forward in person, so that the group is leaderless... In this case, the brave one will win when they meet in a narrow road.
The duel between masters is only within a hair's breadth. Relying on cultivation and experience to kill one or two strong men may not be without miraculous results.
In fact, the leader of the Sima clan's private soldiers had noticed a bandit in the lead early in the morning. This man was tall and majestic, wearing black armor and holding a large iron gun... It didn't matter. After he improved, he would
Strength is not judged by body shape...the key is that the yellow gelding under this man's hip is exceptionally splendid. Even though he is galloping in the rain and carrying such a big man and such a weapon, there is no fatigue or slippage at all.
The most amazing thing is that the horse's hair is shiny, and the rain falling on the horse actually slides down like it falls on the body-protecting Qi of a master of condensation.
Growing up in the Sima family's courtyard, this private soldier leader is certainly well-informed. How could he not know that this is simply a dragon colt! Who is the person who can ride a dragon colt?!
At this point, the two sides were approaching. The leader of the private soldier could see more clearly. There was no strands of Qi forming on the other side at all. Instead, there were only some strange electric lights jumping up. He couldn't help but become more determined in his heart:
If you kill this man, seize this horse, and force this army to retreat, you will be famous among the Sima clan. In the future, if you go to the palace, you can take Ichiro as a general!
As soon as he thought of this, the person exerted all his strength and poured out his life's true energy, so that even though it was raining, the tip of the phoenix-mouthed knife turned into a light golden color that shined by itself, and then he swung it towards the opponent.
Unexpectedly, just as the Feng Zui Dao fell and hit the opponent's iron spear, the person felt his arms go numb and was also shocked, feeling that the opponent's strength was simply unreasonable.
But it wasn't over yet. The big thief man held a gun against his long knife on the horse. He let go of his hand majestically and took another thick mace from the side of the horse. Then he raised the gun with one hand and waved the mace with the other, holding the electric light and pointing at the opponent.
The helmet and ear protection were slapped off hard.
Pity the private soldier leader. At this moment, he still only thought that the opponent was born with strange strength. It wasn't until he wanted to raise his weapon to block that he realized that the numbness in his arms was not caused by the strength at all, but by the attack of the opponent's weird energy.
, so that his hands were paralyzed. At this time, he tried to raise his hands, but he was so shocked that he was left only sore and limp, and even the weapons fell out of his hands.
At the same time, the flashing heavy mace took the shot, and the person immediately felt an unbearable pain like a needle pricking half of his head. He had no thoughts, and he didn't even notice the bleeding in his mouth and nose. He just wanted to scream, but in the end
He was hit on the head again by the big iron gun, and even his shouts were hammered back into his chest.
This kind of blow, not to mention just armor, but what if the master of condensing pills has an extra layer of body-protecting Qi?
He actually fell off the horse and lost consciousness, which saved him from the pain caused by the horse trampling him later.
The three hundred army cavalry showed their true energy at the same time, and the troops behind them were no longer enough to watch. After the Imperial Guard cavalry that bore the brunt was quickly wiped out, the formation of the three groups of infantry and private knights was actually on the verge of collapse.
Not far away, Sima Jinda saw this scene and felt even more panicked, but not only because of the defeat of the Rangers, but also because of the situation further away - the military brigade clearly realized that the war here was in favor of their side, but they ignored it.
After all, a troop of more than a thousand people was separated, carrying a flag with the word "Fan" in it, and continued to come towards them along the road.
It is conceivable that if this cavalry ranger cannot be suppressed and is bullied into the formation by this force, what will happen to the six thousand forbidden troops will be continuous waves of attacks until the entire front is defeated.
But he really couldn't suppress this special cavalry.
He was only a hundred steps away from the enemy's rear line. After Qin Bao killed several cavalry, the troops and horses in front of him had already been dispersed by the most elite cavalry of the powerful army. The rest of the rear infantry were also completely at a loss, but Qin Er did not do anything at all.
He paid no attention to these military achievements that were almost achieved, but he ignored the orders behind him, abandoned these soldiers and horses, and rushed straight towards the "Sima" banner along the avenue.
This time, the Forbidden Army could no longer organize a new rear-cutting front, but after all, Qin Bao was shouting orders in the melee, and at that time only seventy or eighty cavalry escaped from the battle to follow.
Seeing the other party's decisiveness, Sima Jinda's hands and feet were cold and frustrated. However, he was not worried about his own life, but was worried about the situation of the war.
The next moment, he had no time to worry about the outcome of the battle, because the opponent's leader had already flown in front of him.
Qin Bao did not leave his horse to leap, but came to the so-called Chinese army's formation that temporarily turned to defense. He suddenly raised his horse, and the usually inconspicuous yellow gelding neighed, and leaped high due to the electric light and true energy on his body.
He jumped several feet, flew over several rows of military formations at the rear, and landed in the gap between Sima Jinda's main formations.
It was only then that Sima Jinda realized that because all the direct rangers and personal guards were dispatched, there was no space beside him.
The other party took advantage of this emptiness, directly passed the last few rows of military formations, and charged forward on a single horse.
From this point of view, the target is yourself.
It’s not that there were no imperial troops who took the initiative to stop them along the way, but for some unknown reason, the electric light flashed on the side of the horse. Regardless of the generals, sergeants, cavalry, or infantry, anyone who came within a foot of the horse would stagnate, and their movements would either slow down or slow down.
He was a little out of control, so much so that within a moment, he was actually rushed forward by this rider.
Sima Jinda showed no expression on his face, did not scold or call for instructions, but personally raised his gun to greet them.
Before the two sides could exchange horses, the well-informed Sima Jia Qilang instantly realized what was going on - the other party's Qi was weird. Not only was it extremely penetrating, but it also specialized in paralyzing people's limbs!
As soon as he thought about this, Sima Jinda relaxed his hands by three points and showed caution.
However, as soon as the two sides fought, the Forbidden Army commander was still horrified because he underestimated the opponent's cultivation... Originally, he had the same judgment as his private soldier leader, only thinking that he was a master of Qijing, otherwise he would definitely start a Zhenqi Army.
However, as soon as the weapons were handed over, Sima Jinda realized that the other party was at least a condensing elixir, and could not be said to be an elixir like himself!
This man must be an army general! But he actually covered up his flag to conduct a sneak attack!
If he was paralyzed by the opponent's true energy, coupled with his cultivation and martial arts, wouldn't he end up like this today?
In a panic, Sima Jinda, who had numb arms, threw down his long soldiers, leaned over and hugged the horse with one hand, and ran away to the side of the formation without wanting to fight... He didn't want to avoid the battle, let alone become an elixir.
The master suddenly lost the ability to resist, and instead used his role as a commander to lure the opponent into a dense military formation in a field nearby, so that he could encircle and counterattack.
To be continued...
