martial arts general

Chapter 9

He Zhengyang nodded: "Yes, General Zhao."

Soon, the map of Qingzhou City was placed on the table in front of Zhao Jiuxiao.

He also bent down and studied it carefully.

There is a plain in front of Qingzhou City, and there are large forests on both sides of the plain, which is very suitable for ambushes.

However, since Yelusu came prepared, it was very difficult to ambush the opponent in the forest.

But at this moment, Zhao Jiuxiao thought of a better strategy: "Fire attack."

He immediately said, "Vice General He, I already have a solution."

He Zhengyang asked curiously, "What's the plan?"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "For the fire attack strategy, when the enemy's [-] troops arrive near the forest, our army will shoot rockets from a distance to ignite the forest. Taking advantage of the chaos, we will attack from the front and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop."

He Zhengyang cupped his hands and said, "Good advice, General Zhao!"

Zhao Jiuxiao: "This is the best strategy I can think of. If we simply defend the city and the enemy has the upper hand, our army may suffer a lot of casualties, but if we attack with fire, the casualties will be minimized."

He Zhengyang: "The general agrees that even if Yelvsu cannot be defeated, he will be allowed to retreat."

In this way, a new strategy was formulated.

He Zhengyang led [-] archers to ambush near the forest and used fire attacks.

Zhao Jiuxiao led 2 infantry, [-] cavalry and [-] archers, a total of [-] horses guarding the city, waiting to move.

The appointed time came soon.

The [-]-strong army led by Yelvsu also rushed over from afar.

Standing on the top of the city, Zhao Jiuxiao looked far away, only seeing a black tide.

These include [-] black iron infantry, [-] black iron archers, and [-] black iron cavalry.

These dark iron infantrymen held high shields and formed a very complete defensive formation, which could attack, defend, advance or retreat.

However, this also limited the speed of the Black Iron army.

But Yelusu didn't care, he was riding on the horse with a smug look on his face.

Zhao Jiuxiao stood on a high place, carefully watching the enemy's movements.

Not long after, Yelusu's army came near the forest.

He Zhengyang was already there and ordered: "Fire the arrow!"

"Swish, swish!" Sharp arrows lit with kerosene shot out one after another, flying into the forest.

Many trees were set ablaze and began to burn.

The rapid spread of the fire also disturbed the Xuantie army.

The formation of the black iron infantry was unstable, and they dodged to avoid the surrounding flames.

The black iron archers fell into confusion, not knowing where the enemy was.

The horses of the Black Iron Cavalry neighed, a little afraid of the danger before them.

Yelusu's eyes widened: "No, it's Huo Gong!"

By the time he reacted, Zhao Jiuxiao had already led an army of [-] troops and rushed out of the city.

"The whole army goes out!" With Zhao Jiuxiao's order, the Qingzhou cavalry followed in his footsteps and rushed to the forefront.

The morale of the Black Iron army was weak and they had no intention of resisting, and could only barely defend themselves.

"Crash!" The cavalry from both sides immediately charged together and started a close fight.

At the same time, the Qingzhou archers on both sides were still shooting rockets, allowing the fire to spread to the black iron army.

Some black iron archers were set on fire, screaming and rolling on the ground, trying to put out the flames.

The infantry's formation was chaotic due to the influence of the flames, and it was impossible to form an effective defense at all.

Coupled with the impact of the Qingzhou cavalry on the battle formation, the Xuantie army fell into a passive situation.

Their morale was low, and they had no intention of fighting, but Yelusu didn't give an order, and it was difficult for them to escape directly.

Zhao Jiuxiao rushed to the front, drew his sword out of its sheath, and launched an attack.

[The Knife Technique of Breaking Love! 】He held the long knife tightly in his hand, and slashed horizontally, releasing a series of fan-shaped knife energy.

"Bang, bang, bang!" With the help of [Arhat's Demon Subduing Technique], he released the powerful sword energy, knocking the infantry's shields away and falling to the ground.

Although the dark iron cavalry was unstable, he still swung his broadsword diagonally.

But they were still a step too slow, and were hit by Zhao Jiuxiao's backhanded long knife.

The sword flashed, and many black iron infantrymen had their throats cut off and fell down on their backs.

The Xuantie cavalry surrounded him again, trying to surround and kill Zhao Jiuxiao.

He immediately jumped up high, slashed heavily in the air, dozens of sword lights flashed, the black iron cavalry was hit on the top of the head, beheaded directly, and fell off the horse screaming.

The Qingzhou infantry also followed up and launched a close attack on the enemy.

Although the defensive power is not as good as that of the black iron infantry, the Qingzhou infantry still exerts a strong combat effectiveness due to its good formation.

Coupled with the continuous shooting of sharp arrows by the two thousand archers in the rear, many black iron cavalrymen were shot to death by sharp arrows and fell off their horses to death.

With raging flames on both sides and no way to break through from the front, Yelusu had only one option left: to retreat.

He kept gritting his teeth and was upset.

Yelusu is a person who doesn't like to run away, he likes to fight head-on.

But he is also very clear that if he persists according to the current situation, he will not be able to win at all.

In desperation, Yelusu shouted: "The whole army retreats!"

With that said, the Xuantie army began to change its formation, turned around and retreated.

Because there is no need to advance, the difficulty of the Black Iron Infantry is greatly reduced.

Although there were still people falling under Zhao Jiuxiao's sword, they were able to block the attacks of other troops.

He Zhengyang also rushed into the enemy's formation, brandishing his battle axe, sweeping and slashing sideways.

Many black iron cavalry were knocked off their horses by him and their skulls were smashed.

But they eventually withdrew.

Zhao Jiuxiao stopped chasing and stopped his army.

There were dead bodies all over the ground, and many charred ones.

In this battle, more than 700 people died in the Xuantie army, and the casualties were not small, but the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou City only died or injured a few hundred people, which was not serious.

System prompt: "Successfully complete the General's mission and learn the [Soul Chasing Sword Technique]. You can use the elusive sword technique to kill the target, making the enemy hard to defend against."

The related sword moves immediately entered Zhao Jiuxiao's mind.

He couldn't help being filled with joy, and put the knife back into its sheath.

3 people defeated an army of 4 people and wiped out 5000 of the opponent's troops. Zhao Jiuxiao achieved a remarkable victory in this battle.

He Zhengyang on the side even said loudly: "Brothers, General Zhao has strategized and is brave and invincible!"

The soldiers also said: "General Zhao is mighty!"

After this battle, the morale of Zhao Jiuxiao's soldiers became stronger and they trusted him even more.

Zhao Jiuxiao smiled happily: "Okay, brothers, since we have won, let's go back to the city!"

After speaking, he led the army, returned to the city, and rested the three armies.

In Qingzhou City, Zhao Jiuxiao did not drink with He Zhengyang, but returned to his room.

[Soul-chasing knife technique! ] I saw him draw his knife out of its sheath, and slash out obliquely.

A streak of purple saber energy was released and hit the table directly.

The table was split in two and fell to the ground.

Zhao Jiuxiao also continued to use the saber technique, his figure floated back and forth, making it difficult for the enemy to judge his position, and his long saber could also be chopped out along the way.

He nodded with satisfaction and sheathed the knife.Start thinking about your next move.
