"How to do it? Is it possible that I, Xiang Chu, will still be afraid of losing a battle on the field? Pass down the order, and the Xuanjia heavy cavalry will contain the two wings of the Jingwu army, and the whole army will press on. Make sure to tear a hole!" Xiang Chu laughed suddenly and coldly: "I need a chance to meet Gao Changgong face to face. As long as Gao Changgong dies, the rest will be nothing but a mob..."

"The general wants to kill Gao Changgong?" Li Mo was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiang Chu to hide his murderous intentions in this situation, "But... forgive me for speaking bluntly, the general just fought with Wang Xuanwei, and his blood wasted Not small, if I confront Gao Changgong again at this moment, I am afraid it will not be easy to win..."

The halberd has been held in Xiang Chu's hand again, and he draws a sharp arc in the air with one hand, and his expression is a little eager to try: "How will you know if you don't try? Besides... it doesn't necessarily mean that I will Do it yourself."

The short conversation between Gao Changgong and Xiang Chu failed to dilute the bloody atmosphere between the two armies.In the final analysis, the seeds of enmity between the two countries have long been planted deeply. Now that we meet again, the seeds have grown into towering trees with teeth and claws.

How many orphans and widows were suddenly added to Jing and Wu in a war of invasion to the south?Many soldiers in the Qingzhou Ghost Riders lost their families because of that war. Such a monstrous blood feud can only be repaid with blood.

"The enemy is approaching! Two hundred steps! Let go!"

The arrow crashed, like a string stretched to the limit, and let out a mournful cry. A black cloud rose into the sky, turning into a black rainstorm, and splashed down.

The outermost shield of the Shenwu Heavenly Army has long been raised high, like an indifferent and hard stone wall, blocking the clanging sound and the sharp edges from the wall.

Accompanied by the offensive of the rain of arrows, the vanguard of the Jingwu army marched forward bravely. The distance between the two armies was not far away. After a hundred steps, they finally collided with each other.

Qin Ke and Abu found another high slope suitable for observation. When they climbed to the highest point, they could have a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

But what shocked him was that the Jingwu army had almost doubled in number and their morale was high, but they still failed to gain the upper hand in front of the brave Tang army.

The Shenwu Tianjun and the Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry, the two elites, have lived up to Tang's vigorous cultivation over the years. Even if the Jingwu army's crossbows and arrows rained like rain, they could not cause enough damage to them. , as if like a stream of iron, invincible.

Seeing this ferocious Tang army, Qin Ke also felt a little chill in his heart. It is conceivable how desperate the Mohist cavalry were when they faced this army before.

However, the chariot brought by Gao Changgong along the way did play a role that cannot be ignored. There are organs hidden on these solid objects. Once they reach the predetermined position, sharp steel rods will protrude from the bottom and penetrate deeply into the ground. , became a solid barrier that the Jingwu army could move.

If these barriers had not withstood the tide-like offensive of the Tang army, the forwards of the Jingwu army might have already collapsed under the onslaught of the Tang army.

After the panic at the beginning, the Jingwu army also stabilized again, and amidst the rumbling of the war drums, they gradually showed their minions.

As an army that has always regarded the Tang army as an imaginary enemy, the Jingwu army is obviously more skilled in dealing with the Shenwu Tian army than the Mohist army. It is reflected in the weapons and formations of the Jingwu Army.

The weapons used by the Jingwu infantry are not of a unified standard. The unified army formation will be divided into multiple parts finely. Except for the crossbowmen in the back row, there will be shield soldiers in the front row who specialize in defense with shields. Spearmen pierced by spears, and after these two were interspersed by heavy axemen.

The heavy axemen carrying the huge ax hadn't revealed their sharpness at this time, and the armor they wore was far less heavy and thick than that of the Shenwu Tianjun. The expressionless stone statue is so dull.

But if the Shenwu Tianjun despised them a little because of this, it would be a big mistake.

Chapter 529 The Battle of the Enemy ([-])

Arranging heavy axemen in the army formation was the inspiration Huang Hansheng received during the Southern Invasion that year. After several years of training and tempering, they gradually integrated into various formations, and the army system became more and more mature.

Having resisted the Tang army head-on, he solemnly handed over all the soldiers and horses to Gao Changgong before this expedition, and placed high hopes on them.

"Enter!"

Spears and spears were so intertwined that they could no longer be distinguished from each other, so these heavy axemen, who could only hide behind the army formation, finally had a chance to make a move. After a while, the tomahawk in his hand swung out again and again, and many spears were cut off in the middle.

However, they continued to move forward without stopping, with the battle axes in their hands raised high above their heads, and chopped down towards the Shenwu Heavenly Army.

Even the well-armored Shenwu Tianjun would definitely be unable to resist the heavy battle axes. After hearing a dull collision sound, the shields in the hands of the Shenwu Tianjun in the front row cracked a deep gap.

The eyes of the formerly invincible white-clothed "Heavenly Soldiers" finally showed shock. There were bursts of numbness and pain spreading in the wrists and arms, and half of the body seemed to tremble.

But before they adjusted their shield-holding gestures, those not-so-sharp but very blunt axes were raised high again, followed by another slash.

The heavy force finally made a gap in the defense line of the Shenwu Tianjun. These heavy axemen stuck to it, with the kind of honest smile unique to the peasants on their faces. Down.

Along with the splash of blood all over the sky, the hard armor of Shenwu Tianjun also began to dent and disintegrate.

The blunt and heavy ax blade doesn't even have to cut through those hard armors, just relying on the impact force, it can already make the opponent's mouth burst with blood and break the bones.

"Draw your sword! Kill them!" A cry came from the Shenwu Heavenly Army's formation. Faced with such an emergency, the general leading the troops undoubtedly gave the most correct order in the shortest time.

The spear is too long, and it may be used for fighting in front of the formation, but once it is close, it is difficult to kill a single enemy.

Fortunately, every Shenwu Tianjun is equipped with a waist knife. Although these waist knives are not very strong when facing the heavy battle axes, they are sharp enough to cut through the leather armor and bring out scarlet flesh.

But when they saw them, they were also very surprised to find that although these heavy axemen were already very close to them, because of the length of the ax handle, it was still longer than them, just enough to keep it out of the range of the waist knife...

The principle that one inch is long and one inch is strong may not be so applicable to quacks, practitioners, etc., but it is very appropriate on such a large-scale confrontational battlefield. The Jingwu Army obviously had already prepared for the Shenwu Heavenly Army's plan in advance. All the features have been prepared, and naturally they have taken the lead.

The waist knives cannot touch these heavy axemen, but these heavy axemans can easily hit their shields and even armors, and their spears are too long to play their due role... This is ridiculous If the current situation is just a small fight in the rivers and lakes, they can admit that they are cowardly, and then turn around and flee away, but in this crowded army formation, they don't even have a place to turn around and move, and there is no way to retreat retreat.

What's more terrible is that a general behind the Jingwu army uttered a loud shout: "Hook!"

Before Shenwu Tianjun figured out the meaning of this order, the people in the first row felt a chill in their ankles. They lowered their heads and saw a crescent-shaped hook on the side of Jingwujun's battle axe. Very insidiously it fell to their ankles.

Strong towing as expected!

I don't know how many Shenwu Tianjun were dragged upside down by this brutal force.

As an ordinary soldier, it's nothing unusual to fall down, just stand up again.

But for the Shenwu Tianjun, falling is very troublesome.

The Shenwu Heavenly Army on top of the front row are all wearing relatively complete armor at this time. Even though the craftsmen have tried their best to reduce their weight when casting the armor, the weight of the armor is still more than [-] catties.

If they were full of physical strength and high fighting spirit before, probably everyone could overcome the pressure brought by the heavy armor on their bodies and get up from the ground firmly, but after the "bombing" of fire and thunder, they witnessed some people " Many people were exhausted physically and mentally in the scene of "throwing away their armor and armor".

But Jing Wujun obviously did not intend to let them go. When the fallen Shenwu Tianjun struggled to get up, a frightening picture was reflected in their widened eyes——

A tomahawk fell from mid-air, drawing a simple arc, as if swinging an ax to chop wood in his own yard.

Those who act as "firewood" are all living people.

The pain and darkness crushed them into the soil like a huge hammer. Every ax seemed to contain the hatred that the Jingwu people had not vented for a long time. The hard armor was split, and the bones and The head was crushed, and the internal organs and blood shot up into the sky...

After all, the Shenwu Heavenly Army is a mighty soldier in the world. Even in the face of such a tragic situation of seemingly unilateral killing, they still did not flinch. After the initial shock, the soldiers in the back row still drew their waist knives neatly. Ping raised the spear in his hand, and kept approaching the array of heavy axemen ahead.

The Jingwu army does not lack courage, let alone hatred, but in terms of tempering their combat skills, this group of Jingwu heavy axemen is far inferior to the veteran soldiers of the Shenwu Tianjun.

With the combination of spears in the back row as "guards", the Shenwu Tianjun who used waist knives in the front row finally got close to the heavy axemen, so the unilateral killing was repeated again...

Not long after, with a crisp "snap", the building threw away the broken tomahawk in his hand with an ugly expression, and every heavy exhalation seemed to take away all the strength in his whole body.

The non-stop high-intensity combat made his body feel tired, but the rotation order was delayed, so he could only hold on and not retreat.

It's not that he doesn't want to take a few steps back, but he now knows very well that there is no place for cowards to survive on this bloody battlefield.

He has been guarding the border for nearly a year, and he has not experienced small-scale conflicts. He has also fought against those barbarians from the grassland as a scout. How stupid the original idea was.

In such a battlefield of tens of thousands of people, an individual is like an inconspicuous ear of wheat in a wheat field. When a gust of wind blows, he will fall sideways and be carried away involuntarily.

Just now, he witnessed with his own eyes a student who was also in the Taixue Hall being submerged in the formation of the Shenwu Heavenly Army, and he only uttered a mournful cry at the end.

Even though he had fought the enemy very bravely, the enemy still kept rushing towards him like a gale raging in the wilderness. The blade cut open the leather armor on his shoulder, leaving bloody scars on his skin. The injured parts everywhere also followed his breath and breath, spreading pain after wave.

Whenever he thought he was going to fall the next moment, but he still stood upright with willpower and waved the weapon in his hand mechanically. Just like his nickname, he thought he was a building that would not collapse .

But he is really tired now. As the wounds on his body made him tremble a little, a trace of fear also rose in his heart. Once the two emotions of fatigue and fear merge together, his building It was not far from the moment of collapse.

As if to strengthen his courage, he shouted like crazy: "Come on! Come and kill Grandpa if you have the ability!"

He flashed the waist knife in the hands of a Shenwu Tianjun, but he suddenly lost his center of gravity due to the sticky and slippery blood, and fell heavily on the corpse of a fellow robe, but he quickly reacted and lifted a foot, kicked at that Shenwu Tianjun.

After a muffled sound of "bang", the Shenwu Tianjun took two steps back holding the shield, paused on his feet, but stood firmly.

"Damn it..." Seeing that his kick didn't have the expected effect, the building cursed inwardly.

Through the shield nearly one person tall, he saw a pair of cold eyes.

The building froze all over, and he faintly felt the surging blood in the other party's blood. He knew that this was a practitioner, and even a battle-tested veteran.

Chapter 5 Thirty: The Battle of the Enemies ([-])

He still remembered that he was in the Imperial Academy, and heard Huang Hansheng patiently say: "The veterans who have been on the battlefield are the real formidable enemies in a battle. It's just a superficial appearance. Veterans can escape from death again and again, and the temperament accumulated in their bones is already very different from that of ordinary practitioners. They know how to make swords faster and save effort, and know how to avoid the opponent's killing moves. Winning in the most concise and practical way is the iron law that penetrates into the bone marrow..."

Naturally, there will be a chilling aura on them, which is enough to make people feel fear the moment they approach.

There are also many veterans in the Jingwu Army, as well as Huang Hansheng, a veteran who has already served in the Taixue Academy. The building has felt the chilling aura from them.

At this time, the building was covered with hairs, and he immediately took a few steps back with his hands together. Although he seemed a little flustered, he successfully touched the tomahawk that fell to the side of the body under him. Facing the waist knife piercing through the air, he suddenly fell Taking a breath, he grasped the handle of the ax desperately——

Well-timed block.

The next moment, he took advantage of the waist knife deviated from the direction, and scrambled to stand up.

He didn't turn around and run away, because he knew that if he turned around, he would definitely die faster, so a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward, shouting loudly, with the battle ax in his hand like a mountain cracking rock. The power and influence slashed at the veteran.

He was indeed no match for this veteran soldier, no matter in terms of cultivation, skill, or even aura, but he still did not flinch. Taking advantage of the chaos on the battlefield and the gap between several handovers of weapons, he found a way to procrastinate and fight. The opportunity to move around, so that he was not killed by the opponent.

With a muffled sound, the figure of the building flew upside down and hit the wreckage of a chariot that had already overturned, with blood spurting from its mouth.

His Qi and blood were out of order, and the feeling of loss of strength bound his body firmly like a spider web. He struggled to breathe, but he could only lean limply on the wreckage of the chariot, facing the fallen waist knife, his eyes revealed It's a pity.

Could it be... that he died like this?

The tall body of Shenwu Tianjun covered the light in front of him, as if it had become a shadow of death, covering him.

Unexpectedly, the shadow suddenly trembled, and the veteran's face immediately showed an expression of disbelief, his eyes widened, and finally he collapsed to the side in desperation.

When the veteran was lying on the ground twitching, the building could clearly see a delicate and gorgeous dagger protruding from the back of his neck.

The building also opened its eyes wide, saw the panting figure on the horse not far away, and shouted: "Wang Zhu, you..."

Wang Zhu was still gasping for breath, squinting his eyes and realized that he had just succeeded in a surprise attack with a family-owned dagger, but he had saved his deadly enemy. you!"

"I know." Building coughed, spitting out blood, "I don't need you to save me, but I owe you this time."

Wang Zhu curled his lips, turned his horse's head and said, "The higher-ups have issued an order to replace the people in the first echelon. Didn't you hear that?"

"Is there...?" The building looked at him stupidly, "I... I didn't hear it."

"You're really fucking jealous, what's your brain?" Wang Zhu rolled his eyes, after all, he didn't let the injured building continue to lean on the damaged chariot. He pulled him onto the horse and carried him all the way into the army formation.

Gao Changgong looked away from the building and them, and smiled happily. Maybe some people have been too tense, maybe some people are just born to stand too high, but in his opinion, these children who went to the battlefield are no longer They are children. After they have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, they must finally learn to support each other.

Even he, the "God of War" of Jingwu, cannot become their savior.

After this battle, some people can go back, but some people will be left on the battlefield forever, but when they shine their own light one day, I can probably easily unload the burden of this general Jingwu, far away. Let's go north...

Regarding the current battle situation, his attitude is still calm. Although he is not mature enough in some places, it is clear that some of Huang Hansheng's strategies are indeed effective.

It is expected that they can withstand the frontal impact of the Shenwu Heavenly Army, and the battle that can really determine the outcome of this great battle has already unfolded on the two wings.

On the two wings of the army formation, ten thousand Xuanjia heavy cavalry entered.

Although their numbers were small, the deterrent force brought by the black iron armor and the majestic northern barbarian horses was shocking.

Even those chariots that were fixed on the ground could not protect themselves from such an impact. With a little cooperation from a few black-armored heavy cavalry, a chariot could fall down with a bang, and even crushed ten people to death Several Jing Wu soldiers.

It is not only the Jingwu army who has hatred in their hearts, Tang army also has it. For the Xuanjia heavy cavalry, they have tried countless times to wash away the shame of Tang's defeat by Jingwu. The sound of the horseshoes this time is naturally heavier than any previous time .

The bones of the dead were crushed under the iron hoof, and the sound of cracking became the last cry of the dead. Flesh and blood splattered everywhere, and the stench circled the battlefield and reached the sky.

And in their blood-red eyes, the figure of the enemy has already appeared.

At the same time, fifty thousand Qingzhou ghost riders followed them like a shadow.

Every Qingzhou ghost rider has a ghostly mask on his face, and his eyes are hidden under the mask, as cold as ghosts wandering in the underworld.

It was this group of ghosts who used to roam the vast territory of the Tang Kingdom. Even though dozens of soldiers and horses were sent to chase and intercept them, as many as 15 people before and after, they still failed to catch them, not even the horseshoe prints of their horses. Saw a few.

Times have changed, most of the [-] Qingzhou Ghost Riders who returned triumphantly back then have already disarmed and returned to the fields, those who were engaged in business, and those who cultivated the land, but these soldiers who inherited the will of the previous generation of veterans are still as resolute as iron, with high fighting spirit!

The Xuanjia heavy cavalry indeed possessed an impact far superior to that of the Qingzhou ghost cavalry. In a head-on confrontation, it would be difficult for [-] Qingzhou ghost cavalry to stop these beasts wrapped in iron armor, but as light cavalry, they also had their own set of tactics.

Compared with frontal interception or breakthrough, detour and side attack is what Qingzhou Ghost Riders are really good at. After several years of training and improvement by Gao Changgong, this group of new Qingzhou Ghost Riders, no matter in terms of strength, equipment, or even galloping under the crotch War horses far surpassed their predecessors.

Thanks to Gao Changgong's exhausting efforts to bring these chariots, he finally used this to block the terrible impact of the first wave of Xuanjia heavy cavalry.

The sound of horseshoes gathered like a war drum, and the rumbling sound shook the whole field. The [-] Qingzhou ghost riders were divided into two teams and swept in like a torrential flood. Soon, the distance between the two teams of old enemies was less than a hundred steps.

"Even if it's a tortoise, it's impossible to shrink the whole body into the shell!" Sun Qing on the horseback was wearing the armor of a Qingzhou ghost rider general, which was bright and dazzling, and half of his face was covered by the ferocious ghost mask. It also reflected the growing murderous intent at the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 531 The Battle of the Enemy ([-])

Sun Qing's eyes were full of excitement. Although it was the first time he had fought against the Tang elite, he was not afraid.

The old general who taught him the art of war once commented on the Xuanjia heavy cavalry: "This is the cavalry formed by the Tang Dynasty to imitate Canghai. Important soul."

The strength of tiger and leopard cavalry does not lie in war horses and equipment. Even if Tang Guo can buy Beiman war horses, what about making his own molten steel formula?At most, it's just a threat to the infantry, Sun Qing thought disdainfully.

Accompanied by the first moment of contact between the two armies, there seemed to be a silvery sharp edge flashing in Sun Qing's eyes. As he turned his head slightly, the spear in his hand was raised violently, and with the impact of the horse, it penetrated all of a sudden. The armor of the heavy cavalry on the opposite side!

The Xuanjia Heavy Cavalry opposite him had shock in his eyes, as if wondering why his indestructible armor could not save his life, and wondering why Sun Qing could avoid his long-prepared blow.

But he soon realized the reason, but he could only spit out blood from his mouth. He closed his eyes in despair, and the horse lance in his hand, which took three years to cast, fell to the ground with a bang, and was submerged in a pile of horseshoes.

It should be said that this Xuanjia heavy cavalry has bad eyesight and bad luck.
