Conquer all worlds starting from the mythical Three Kingdoms
Chapter 523 Ambush and Breaking the Formation
"It's coming!"
Han Shizhong was also unable to sleep. He could not help but tremble when he heard the clear noise. Although he did not show any expression, he was very happy in his heart.
"Jade Unicorn!"
Lu Junyi raised the spear in his hand, and the milky white glory of the legion bloomed. After being blessed, fine scales appeared on the surface of the warhorse, as if it was covered with a layer of armor.
Lu Junyi's legion talent - Jade Unicorn, has a simple effect. It greatly enhances the physical fitness of war horses and can instantly transform ordinary war horses into refined war horses. Especially after Lu Junyi entered the realm of breaking, this talent has been further improved.
After being blessed, the warhorse seemed to be covered with a layer of jade scales, as if a real Qilin appeared in the world, and its defense capability was also greatly improved.
This is also the reason why Lu Junyi dared to directly attack the camp. The speed of light cavalry, the impact of assault cavalry, and the defense of heavy cavalry are a trinity, plus the effect of decathlon, which allows him to perfectly control all three.
Although it has not reached the ranks of the three talented legions, it is also a first-class elite legion.
The best part is, just like the soldiers of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry can share their elite talents with their mounts, Lu Junyi’s Jade Unicorn effect can now also be bestowed upon the soldiers.
With each layer added, the power is naturally quite powerful.
The moment Lu Junyi approached the Song Dynasty camp, his eyes swept across the camp wall. Under the illumination of the milky white light of the legion, light was actually reflected in the cracks.
Cold sweat instantly slid down Lu Junyi's forehead. At this time, what else could reflect the light except a bow and crossbow?
"Oh no, we've been ambushed!" Lu Junyi immediately sorted out his thoughts.
But the momentum of the charge was irreversible, and they were not white horses, so how could they turn back at such a speed?
"Roll over and defend against the rain of arrows!"
Lu Junyi roared, then continued to charge forward.
Due to a wrong decision, he could only bet that the Qilin Jade Armor could block the opponent's arrows.
"Shoot!" An order was sounded in the camp, and flames instantly lit up from all directions. Under the light, the expressions of the Song Dynasty soldiers looked extremely ferocious.
Lu Junyi tried his best to release the cloud of his inner energy guide legion. At the same time, countless crossbow arrows, bow arrows, and crossbow arrows like spears were shot towards Lu Junyi and his troops.
"boom!"
The camp wall of the Song Dynasty camp was directly bombarded and blown up, and a large number of people and horses from Lu Junyi's side were instantly thrown to the ground.
As daybreak approached, Lu Junyi gathered his men together in a dense formation in order to ensure the effectiveness of the attack. However, under the cover of such a dense rain of arrows, the dense formation became the best target.
The dense rain of arrows almost overwhelmed Lu Junyi and his cavalry.
The infantry corps ambushed on the left and right sides began to rush out of the camp from both sides, shouting slogans the moment the roar sounded in the camp. A large encirclement was taking shape.
"Withdraw! Withdraw! Withdraw!"
Lu Junyi desperately resisted the rain of arrows coming from the front, then turned around and planned to leave. If he was really surrounded, he would not be able to escape.
"Well!"
The moment Lu Junyi turned his head, several sharpshooters attacked directly. Lu Junyi became alert and swung his spear sideways to block the arrows. However, after knocking away several crossbow arrows head-on, he was exhausted and his movements were half a beat slower, so he was hit directly by the arrows.
Fortunately, he was protected by scales, so even if he was shot, he only suffered minor wounds. Lu Junyi used his internal energy to force out the arrow, then suppressed the injury and led his soldiers to charge in the opposite direction.
"Now that you're here, there's no need to leave!"
With the help of secret methods, Han Shizhong's voice was transmitted to the ears of Lu Junyi and his soldiers. The majesty in his words even made the elite soldiers under Lu Junyi feel fear.
A night attack is a double-edged sword. A successful attack will cause a nearly fatal psychological blow to the enemy, making that opponent panic-stricken and unable to sleep or eat.
But in the same way, if an attack is foiled by an ambush, the fear will be transferred to the attacking troops, and they will also become suspicious. This is also the principle of the ultimate killing strategy - ambush from all sides.
"Stay here!" Han Shizhong mobilized the army's clouds and launched a legion attack towards the fleeing Lu Junyi.
"Open it for me!" After seeing the legion's attack, Lu Junyi swung the spear in his hand and directly smashed the legion's attack.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the army's attack hit the open ground, directly cutting out a large pit over a hundred meters long.
Lu Junyi ignored Han Shizhong behind him. When he saw a group of infantry corps appearing from the side, he immediately changed direction and rushed in another direction.
He was almost 100% certain that his intention had been completely seen through by the other party, who had even taken advantage of this intention and set a trap for them.
They might even have been surrounded. Ordinary infantry might not be that fast, but it is not ruled out that the enemy officers have a talent for super speed that allows the infantry to run at the speed of cavalry.
"What a fierce general!"
Han Shizhong sighed. He was sure that he would not be able to defeat Lu Junyi on the opposite side. The opponent was a real fierce general. Without the help of the legion's cloud energy, he could directly resist the legion's attack with his personal strength alone.
This kind of combat power is no longer human. Even if you look throughout the Song Dynasty, you may not be able to find many people who can fight against the enemy.
"It's tricky!"
A powerful general cannot indeed change the overall situation on the battlefield, but a powerful general who can both lead troops and fight will make people feel fearful.
"Order the mobile force to begin pursuit and force the enemy into our ambush site. If the enemy escapes from the ambush point, everyone must retreat." Han Shizhong gave the order.
"As for these people, if they lay down their weapons, they will not be killed!"
Lu Junyi came and went quickly, but in just one encounter, nearly a thousand soldiers fell off their horses. Because of their greatly enhanced defense, falling off their horses did not mean death.
However, without a warhorse, it would be very difficult to escape when the sky was just getting light.
Faced with enemies that were several times larger than their own, these people simply gave up resistance and chose to become prisoners.
Han Shizhong was a little surprised, so he grabbed a man who looked like an officer and asked him questions.
"You all have a strong fighting spirit in your eyes and are not afraid at all. Why would you just give up resistance and surrender?"
"Before we set off, General Yue gave us an order. If we are surrounded, we can just give up resistance and surrender to save our useful bodies. Not only will we not be at fault, but we will be meritorious. General Yue will rescue us!" The centurion's answer made Han Shizhong a little confused.
He did not think that this system would allow the soldiers to maintain their fighting capacity, but the spirit of these soldiers was not false at all, and even after being captured, they still did not lose their faith.
"Do you really believe in the Marshal Yue you mentioned?"
Han Shizhong thought of many possibilities, but in the end he could only conclude that Yue Fei was convincing enough for these people to accomplish such a contradictory behavior.
"Marshal Yue said that this battle is to rebuild the country. The court is corrupt and the people are living in poverty. We were once the people of the Song Dynasty. Now we have started a new life, but we must not forget that there are more compatriots living in dire straits. We are not fighting for ourselves, but for the people of the Song Dynasty!"
Han Shizhong fell silent after hearing this. He was speechless. No matter how eloquent he was, he could not say anything in front of the real people of the Song Dynasty.
Why did he save most of the officers and soldiers under Fang La and only pursue the crimes of the main culprit Fang La? It was because he also knew that these people could not survive without rebelling.
He knew where the problem was, but he couldn't solve it. He could only stand on the side of a general, fight for the court, and win every war he faced.
He also sympathizes with the people, so after victory he will request a one-year tax exemption to help rebuild the local ecology, but he also knows that this is a drop in the bucket.
Wealth is a bottomless pit. The richer a group of people are, the more wealth they will absorb, and the more they will intensify their efforts to exploit the wealth of others. Han Shizhong could not solve this economic problem, so he was speechless.
He had seen Xinghan's policies, but he did not have the ability to implement them in the Song Dynasty.
But that was in the past. The new emperor seemed to have great potential after ascending the throne. Perhaps they, the emperor and his ministers, could join forces to save the Song Dynasty.
"I really want to meet the General Yue you mentioned!" Han Shizhong sighed, feeling a little longing for Yue Fei, whom he had never met.
In fact, in the hearts of all the generals of the Song Dynasty, they all understood that Yue Fei might be the one who loved the Song Dynasty the most.
He fulfilled the century-old wish of the Song Dynasty generals and took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Even though they are now in different camps, they all have great respect for Yue Fei.
Even veterans like Zong Ze are no exception.
"You will meet Marshal Yue soon!" The centurion's almost certain answer made Han Shizhong fall into silence.
"The Emperor has ordered General Yue to march south, and we will surely win!" The centurion was still confident and full of enthusiasm.
"Take them away and keep them under guard!" Han Shizhong shook his head and ordered his men to lock up all the prisoners.
When it comes to Yue Fei, he feels conflicted, but when it comes to Mu Yi, all he has left is a desire to resist.
To him, Xinghan was just another Liao Kingdom or Jin Kingdom, there was no difference.
Outside the camp, Lu Junyi's face was gloomy. The losses were heavy. If it weren't for the strong defense, the number of casualties would have doubled. This time they were badly beaten.
"General, shall we stop to repair?"
The military commander asked, they had already left the camp for some distance, and theoretically the infantry behind them could not catch up with them.
"Send someone to the rear to check the situation, slow down and retreat ten miles!" Lu Junyi said cautiously.
"Everyone get ready."
He Rulong, who had been in ambush for a long time, made a gesture to the soldiers beside him. He Rulong was pleasantly surprised by Han Shizhong's foresight, and the other party really appeared at the ambush site.
"kill!"
He Rulong mobilized the clouds and directly slashed out a blade of light, then led his soldiers to rush towards the slow-moving Lu Junyi and his men.
"Is there an ambush? Break it!"
Lu Junyi was shocked. Although he was cautious, he did not expect that there would be a legion on the opposite side to ambush them on their way of retreat.
Although he was surprised, he did not slow down at all and swept across to deflect the legion's attack.
"Report, General, the legion behind us has not given up the pursuit!" The scouts in the rear also sent back the news.
Lu Junyi realized that they were surrounded by the opposite side. He looked at the spearmen rushing over from both sides, and the enemies in front who were densely packed in a circle with their spears supported by shields to block their way.
"Rush over!"
Lu Junyi made a decision in an instant. If he fled here in panic, he would not have to fight later. Besides, he had no way of judging whether this was another trap set by the opponent.
The gap in the strategic layout of the two sides has become obvious. Lu Junyi feels that every step he takes now may fall into the trap of the other party.
He could only choose to give it a try and bring the problem to the area where he was best at fighting.
After making up his mind, Lu Junyi charged head-on. The sharp arrow formation took shape naturally and his speed increased again. He ignored the Song soldiers around him who were about to rush up and just rushed forward headfirst, as if he was seeking his own death.
"Anyone who stands in my way will die!"
Lu Junyi flicked his spear and directly knocked away several people who were blocking his way. He rushed into the army formation first, and directly broke through the formation in front of He Rulong's incredulous eyes.
He Rulong's arrangement was very good, but the problem was that how could the new recruits possibly exert their full strength? Even if there were veterans leading the team, all the soldiers under Lu Junyi were elite warriors who had experienced many battles and were even stronger than Han Shizhong's personal guards.
He is not the ultimate Xuanxiang. Lu Junyi stepped out of the formation easily. The cavalryman who possesses the trinity of speed, impact and defense is an expert in breaking through the formation and launching a surprise attack. He even dares to charge directly at the camp. What is a small infantry phalanx?
The phalanx that was pierced was in chaos, and the following troops followed the path that Lu Junyi had pierced and directly penetrated, tearing the already chaotic phalanx into pieces.
"Don't fight any longer, retreat!"
After a burst of fighting, Lu Junyi roared, gave up on continuing the annihilation, and left with his men.
He Rulong stared blankly at Lu Junyi who was walking away. The other party had the opportunity to kill him, but he seemed not to care at all. This almost humiliating charity made He Rulong feel relieved.
"Clean up the battlefield and return to camp!"
He Rulong sighed. They killed less than three digits of enemies, but the price they paid was over a thousand people. They were enemies of a completely different level...
Lu Junyi and Gao Chong, who had joined forces, were both a little depressed. They sent people to report the situation to Yue Fei. Both of them suffered heavy losses. Han Shizhong accurately guessed their positions, causing them to suffer a head-on attack.
Not only were there heavy casualties, but the most important thing was that morale was severely hit.
Fortunately, according to the scouts' report, Han Shizhong's army did not leave the camp, which meant that they had completed the task assigned by Yue Fei.
At least they slowed down the advance of the enemy army, in a rather cowardly way.
"What's next?"
Gao Chong looked at Lu Junyi in a daze. He was now stunned. The battlefield and fighting were two completely different things. His brain was completely unable to react.
"Keep staring at the enemy. If they dare to move, we will attack!"
When breaking up the enemy's ambush, Lu Junyi discovered the biggest problem of the enemy. The performance of the enemy in the camp was so confusing that he almost forgot what the Xiangbing was.
They are most likely out of options in the enemy camp, and if they come again, their morale will really collapse.
But if the enemy dares to leave the camp, they will still have the initiative!
