Chapter 544: Wind and Frost (3)

In the afternoon, the autumn sun is bright, and the rustling autumn wind suddenly blows in the direction of the river.

But there were tens of thousands of people on both sides of the west bank of Qinshui, but few people were concerned about the wind... There was no way, the real war had begun.

With the military orders of the commanders of both sides, the drums of war rumbled, stretching for dozens of miles. In a broad sense, the first echelon of the huge army formation that could stretch for dozens of miles rushed forward together. The armored soldiers shone brightly under the sunlight. The dense flags formed some kind of waves in the wind like trees. Before the two sides could kill, the noise and noise drowned everything.

Everyone, from the hasty return to the command of the two armies of the central army, to the leaders of both sides who anchored the front line in front of the formation, to the generals of the two armies, battalions and guards, and some knowledgeable ordinary soldiers, all had the same idea at this time - it was indeed to this point.

Since the Great Zhou split and the confrontation between Hebei and Guanlong, the two forces repeatedly fought in the Heluo area, and there were countless impressive wars, which were no less than seven or eight times. In these seven or eight wars, many famous masters and generals ignited like wildfires, disappeared like meteors, and even emperors, generals, and powerful ministers usurped the lords changed here... So what now?

It is said that people are determined now and will not continue to fight like before, but even this is how many such battles will be decided? Where will you be remembered?

In a trance, the cavalry took the lead in speeding up.

Specifically, the cavalry of the Guanxi Army took the lead in speeding up... The army did not have enough cavalry, but after specifically turning the cavalry battalions of the four battalions out of the narrow battlefield area to the outside, the remaining number was inevitably pale. The cavalry directly under each battalion could only shrink to the center of each battalion and guard the generals of the battalion, and a small number of established cavalry remained in the rear army as a backup plan.

In fact, although Chief Zhang issued a military order to "work forward", the first echelon of the army, which was truly commanded by Xu Dalang of the Central Army, seemed not so passionate. At this time, it seemed that the movement speed of their military formation was much slower than that of the Kansai Army on the opposite side, and it was obvious that they wanted to try their best to maintain the formations of the battalions on the front line.

This seemed to be a last resort for lack of cavalry, but because of this, as the troops moved forward, the distance between the rear battalions became significantly larger.

The first wave of Guanxi cavalry was rushing out, with a total of three or four thousand people, divided into a range of 300 to 500. They flocked out, shouting and killing the first group, and quickly pressing to the front line. However, they did not foolishly attack the army's sturdy infantry array, but scattered into the cracks of the opponent's army's army's formation that was so wide that it was a joke. Their mission was to split, harass, and then wait for the fighter plane to make a fatal blow.

But they fell into the trap.

The army was prepared for a long time. As the front army approached with the opponent's infantry formation, even the opponent's infantry began to organize a charge, a sound of horns suddenly replaced the previous drums. As the sound of horns spread, the army's front-line formation almost stopped together, and then together with the battalions behind them, splashed arrows on the enemy in their sight!

The extremely violent rain of arrows!

Among them, the Kansai cavalry who were lured into the military formation by the reserved gaps were the first to be hit. Compared with the infantry with shields on the front, they were suddenly fired from all directions, and almost instantly caused very considerable casualties.

There is no way, the number of crossbows in the army is too terrible! It is so scary that it exceeds imagination! It is so scary that it is abnormal! It seems that everyone has a bow and arrow! Many Kansai generals have such a large-scale arrow rain that they have never seen in their entire lives!

It's like the May rain in the East!

Otherwise, with the level of armor and mobility of the Kansai Iron Cavalry, where would such casualties come from?

In a panic, many Kansai cavalry who had just rushed into the gaps of the army battalions turned around and ran away. Many officers of different levels also issued military orders to retreat. This panic-fleeing retreat was not as simple as when they came, because during the rain of arrows, the Kansai infantry on the front line had followed excellent tactical qualities and quickly stepped forward to complete the battle with the army, forming a hand-to-hand battle line. This made many cavalry lose their way when they turned around and could only give up the mobility of the cavalry and plunged into the group's hand-to-hand combat... There was no doubt that after the war began, the Kansai army suffered a great loss as soon as they came up.

This is not only a matter of casualties, but also caused this first wave of cavalry to lose its tactical capabilities.

"How did the army come so many crossbowmen?" Bai Hengyuan, who was the commander of the central army in the Guanxi Army, stood on the temporary central army general who had prepared before, was stunned to face this scene, but could not understand it.

That's true. If the bow and arrow regulations are followed, I'm afraid that all the staff will be archers, but will not arrange a knife and axe driver in this kind of battle? Are there no spearmen?

Why did the Kansai Army come up to use this assault division tactic? Isn’t it because I witnessed it with my own eyes early on that the army is full of spearmen! So where do so many archers come from?

Compared to Bai Hengyuan's surprise, Bai Hengqiu, who was still in the former military commander, quickly noticed the obstacle, but could only stare at his side with expressionless face... On that side, Zhang Xing did not retreat, but instead stayed on the front line with two masters, Niu He and Wei Wenda, and only found a high ground to hold the horse to watch the battle.

That's right, neither of the two coaches and the highest combat power directly commanded the central army, nor did they immediately develop the means of cultivation. Instead, they chose to lower the banner at the front line, anchor the front line, and stand still.

As for the command of the central army on both sides, the Guanxi Army was the second-in-commander of the Bai family, formerly the general of Xiangyang of the Great Wei Dynasty, and now the King of Daying Rui led the Minister of War and the General of the Left Wei Guard of Bai Hengyuan; and the army was the leader and deputy commander of the Daxingtai, Xu Shiying.

This is a two-headed model that has no choice but to adopt in a battle that gathers masters of cultivation at the same time.

Back to the macro battlefield, the military's tricks soon failed. The magnificent rain of arrows quickly became sporadic. Many soldiers even threw the hindrance of the slightest crossbows behind them, and exchanged them for long and short weapons.

Bai Hengyuan, the commander of the central army of the Kansai Army in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief and knew that the army had no magical means, but just played a trick.

It is indeed a trick. Xu Dalang's design is a trick designed for the army's average combat literacy lower than that of the Kansai-Dongdu troops... Everyone has a bow or a crossbow, but only three arrows are fired at the moment. There are also requirements in daily training. You don't need to be too accurate. As long as you can shoot three arrows in a short time, it will be considered successful. The same is true for equipment requirements. Bows and crossbows are OK, and the quantity is large and cheap. If you can fire three arrows, it is considered qualified.

In fact, this trick did succeed.

After the rain of arrows, the front-line hand-to-hand combat began. Even if the Kansai cavalry was still abundant, it would be difficult to cross the hand-to-hand combat line that had been unfolded and accumulated to complete the infiltration and encirclement.

Chief Zhang, who was already in a state of high spirits, became more and more arrogant after watching the situation for a while. He was not as ambitious as Bai Hengqiu on the opposite side, thinking of winning all in one battle to intimidate. For him, as long as he could maintain a balance of power and confrontation, he would win in a desperate situation.

What's more, now it's obvious that my family has taken a big advantage?

Therefore, Zhang Xing, who was watching the battle, quickly turned his gaze to the back of his side, and then frowned slightly... He had clearly noticed that in the first wave of Guanxi assault cavalry, there was an extremely elite team... There were not many people, more than two hundred people, all of them were cultivators, half of the veins of the extraordinary meridians, a unified golden armor, red-faced black cloak, and a general of Condensing Dan, holding a Xue flag, taking the lead.

At that time, he didn't want to affect the tactical volley, so he didn't touch them. Now, Zhang Xing had to think about one question, that is, what exactly is this soldier here for?

Is it just a strong point to rush the formation to tear the line open with a picture? Or is it a bait?

After all, with the high-end combat power of the army, the regulations for this war army were made by many masters plus six hundred white cavalry. On the other side, there should be a grand master, a master who is in Heyang Camp. In addition, there are obviously more than the army and more than ten are made into elixirs.

So in this situation, the other party threw out a similar army like the Fulong Guard in the East Capital. Does it mean to deliberately lure the army master or partially step on the white horse? Then Bai Hengqiu could come over in person?!

Moreover, since it looks like the Fulong Guard, is there any existence similar to the Fulong Seal? When the master goes here, he is bound to the ground and kills him on the spot?

After all, Bai Hengqiu went to Guanxi and became the emperor, so he could not have been able to use Li Ziqi and Liu Wenzhou as a means.

Of course, it is also possible that everything is thought of by himself. Bai Hengqiu is a team of vanguards who disrupt the situation based on the characteristics of the army's advanced combat power! The gambling army dare not divide the high-end combat power to suppress it in order to seek some kind of breakthrough in the last battle!

The thoughts were complicated, but they just turned around in their minds. After a moment, the troops had indeed begun to gather again and came to their own side without hesitation.

That's right, Zhang Xing turned his head and looked at it several times, and finally confirmed that the Xueqi flag did not turn around to open up the front line, but instead led the remaining 100 riders who had gathered hastily to come straight to him.

Come to him through the defense zone of three battalions.

It's like seeking a wonderful achievement!

Zhang Xing stood there, and after a moment, he asked Qin Bao beside him: "Who are the enemy generals surnamed Xue who were in charge of Ma's charge of the counting there yesterday?"

"Xue Chi, Xue Li, Xue Liang, Xue Wanbei... There is another one that I haven't figured out." Qin Bao also noticed the flag. "It shouldn't be Xue Liang and Xue Wanbei. These two men don't have the courage and will not be trusted so much. This cavalry is too elite... Could it be one of the two Xue brothers in Longxi?"

"Xue Ting's two younger brothers?" Zhang Xing frowned slightly. "Can they get trust?"

"After the reason why my hometown is in Longxi, even though my elder brother has a foundation, how can I not believe it?" Wei Wenda, who was following the side, couldn't help but interrupt. "Chief, please give me a hundred white riders, I'll deal with him!"

Zhang Xing waved his hand to stop him and looked back at Niu He: "Niu Gong, no matter what, there is only one ordinary elixir?"

Niu He frowned and looked at it: "It may not be considered ordinary, why does it seem like the pill just now?"

Zhang Xing nodded, he also felt this way. The other party's true energy was as bright as a star in his alternative "view". It was indeed a elixir, but it kept jumping, like a new flame... It was obviously a person who had just condensed the elixir but did not stabilize the elixir.

But if this is the case, wouldn’t it be even more strange?

"Xue Chi heard that they have become pills. Isn't Xue Li also an old brand pill? At least it was already when Xue Ting rebelled." Qin Bao also frowned. "It was not right that the last one who didn't know the name, because according to information, the five Xueqins who participated in the war before were all led large troops of troops, and today this one is obviously leading... Fulong Guard?"

"What do you think of so much on the battlefield?" Wei Wenda couldn't help but urge. "We should deal with these people according to the assignment!"

"Yes!" Zhang Xing suddenly laughed. "With Bai Hengqiu's temperament, how could he entrust the vitals to such a team of people? Let the leaders let him come here, and we will deal with him quickly!"

"It's too dangerous." Qin Bao stopped immediately. "If you really bring objects like Fulong Seal and encounter a hero who is not afraid of death, and rush to the front and hurt several people, it will affect the overall situation... It's not worth it!"

"Then you can't let the leader Wei go." Zhang Xing couldn't help but sigh.

"Chief, even if he used the Fulong Seal, my cultivation level could be suppressed, and I could kill him with one knife!" Wei Wenda still asked for a fight.

It can be seen that with the increasingly broad structure of the gang, the combat power representative of Youzhou has sufficient willingness to gain a status commensurate with his cultivation through military achievements.

"No need to do this." Zhang Xing stopped the other party. "Let Yuchi Rong go, divide a team of 150 white cavalry to give him a team, and take advantage of the Xue surnamed entering Murong Huailian's military formation and suppress it... The overall situation will be left to Xu Dalang and us."

This is to be handled conservatively.

Although Wei Wenda was reluctant, he could not do it, while Qin Bao turned over the spotted tumor beast and rushed directly down the slope to find Yuchi Rong... Although the latter was nominally the deputy commander of the White Cavalry, he was naturally warlike. At the beginning, he led dozens of cavalry around Zhang Xing to clear out the troops leaking from the front line. Zhang Xing had no reason to restrain him. At this time, he was overjoyed when he heard the military order. He only lit a hundred cavalry and rushed towards the flag.

Zhang Xing looked high and watched Yuchi Rong pass without any real energy. He witnessed the Xue-like banner that had penetrated Murong Huailian's military formation just a few moments of conversation and continued to come to him.

I couldn't help but feel a little moved in my heart.

Let’s talk about it, when the war started, the wind blew, and the autumn wind swept, sweeping countless flags and cloaks on both sides on the battlefield. In addition, as the battlefield was repeatedly stepped on by soldiers and war horses, smoke and dust were rolled up from time to time. As for the shouts and kills between the two sides, the sound of gold and iron, and the thunder of gold drums, it was even more like thunder.

Therefore, from Zhang Xing's perspective, some of the dynamics there are really just a flag passing through the army's first battalion in the smoke and dust, and nothing else.

But who has never experienced the cruelty of war here? So how can you not know? It’s just that in this process, under the flag and smoke, how much courage does blood and wars have to be thrown on this land?

"After the war, you must work hard to control the battlefield, and at least make an appointment with the other party to collect the body." Zhang Xing raised his mouth to Qin Bao.

Qin Bao could only nod, but frowned and looked at the hand-to-hand battle line in the west.

On the other hand, Yuchi Rong, who was excited, encountered an unexpected problem when he came up, that is, there were too many soldiers and horses... This is not a joke. The other party's cavalry was too elite, but there were only more than a hundred cavalry. Under the leadership of the big flag of Xue, he rushed east and west and was invincible. However, Yuchi Rong claimed that his martial arts were stronger than the other party, but he was repeatedly controlled by his own military formation, just like a hunting dog meeting a mouse running around among bottles and jars!

"Captain Feng!" When Yuchi Rong was angry, he went straight into the formation and scolded the current camp general. "Your troops must recognize my banner and avoid it."

Feng Yan was also obviously anxious: "The leader of Yuchi is a tough problem! Our army is a newly-organized warrior, but there is a military order before the war. Be sure to maintain the military formation to obey the command of Deputy Xu... If I really give in to you step by step, my military formation will disperse!"

"Then the Xue thief cannot resist the sprints, so your military formation will not disperse?" Yuchi Rong scolded again.

Feng Yan was furious: "The thieves come to attack, but I can't arrive. When the military formation is dispersed, there will always be my life and the soldiers who are in charge of their faces to support their faces and say to the chief that this is called powerless, but leader Yuchi asked me to scatter the military formation for nothing. What is this called?! I have a military order!"

When Yuchi Rong saw it, he saw the Xue-shaped flag from afar and inserted it into the formation diagonally, and quickly pulled his horse forward.

This time, the general named Xue was still cunning. Seeing Yuchi Daqi coming, he knew that it was the White Cavalry who had been separated from the Shizi Banner, so he immediately broke out of the formation... When Yuchi Daqi chased him out, Xueqi actually rushed back into the formation.

This time it was Yuchi Rong's turn to be furious. Although he couldn't see clearly through the layers of soldiers, he did not delay him pointing at the other party's flag and cursing: "Xue Thief! Don't let me catch you!"

The person was already loud, and at this time, the mixed true energy was gushing out, like thunder.

Someone under Xue's name also replied with a smile: "General Yuchi! If you can catch me, I will stretch out my head and let you chop it!"

Yuchi Rong became more and more angry, and turned into the formation again. He raised his head and found that the object he was originally pursuing was more than a hundred steps away, and the enemy cavalry were separated from each other. He couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately took the gun forward and killed him wildly.

But just as he was trapped among these golden-armored knights, before he could kill a few people, he could scream outside again. Yuchi Qilang looked at him with a spear and saw an arrow like a meteor, shooting straight from the front towards where he was before in the formation, that is, under the camp general Feng Yan, and then exploded. The Feng-character flag collapsed directly, and he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

That's not all. As the wind fell, he looked forward and clearly saw that the archer was wearing a white robe and a majestic figure. He turned around, but his armor was ordinary and too young.

The guy even smiled at Yuchi Rong again.

Yuchi Rong was shocked and angry, and he ignored Feng Yan's life and death, so he directly slapped forward... Bai Sanniang praised his talent, martial arts, and physique, and thought he could be compared with Qin Bao, Luo Xin, and Zhang Changgong. At this time, he knew that he had missed Chief Zhang's military order and broke out completely. How could those golden-armored knights in Guanxi be powerful? They also flocked to him on white cavalry behind him.

The young general surnamed Xue shot an arrow and provoked Yuchi Rong again. He then rushed out of the formation without hesitation as planned. Everyone had already killed a team of snatched spearmen, but they could scream behind him, and the witch man shouted hard: "My surname is Xue! Are you going to abandon your brothers?"
To be continued...
