Chapter 378: Strong Collision

A cavalryman appeared on a slow beam, a lonely figure Zhuo Li, and opposite him, tens of thousands of Qi troops were lined up, quietly waiting in front. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The horseman's hand was raised high, it was a flagpole, the flagpole rotated in his hand, and with each turn, the flag revealed a little, and in a moment, a large red flag appeared in his hand, and the banner was waving in the wind, and a phoenix was rising from the flames.

Holding the flagpole high in one hand and a brass trumpet in the other, the sound of the phoenix chirping resounded between the heavens and the earth. With the sound of phoenixes, after the gentle slope, a red line, red armor, red war horses, and red cloaks appeared, walking up the mountain beams, and lined up on both sides of the flag.

The earth trembled suddenly, and another red line appeared behind them, they crossed the banner and walked directly below, behind them, followed by the second column, the third column, more and more red-armored warriors appeared in the Qi army's field of vision, walking down the gentle slope in rows, towards the flat field below.

Two Fire Phoenix Army battle camps, 10,000 Fire Phoenix Army soldiers, this is the personal soldiers of the Great Chu Emperor, and it is also the representative of the highest combat effectiveness of the Chu State. Behind them, the eastern border army of Chu State, which was once known as the iron wall of Chu State, also appeared in columns, and in less than half an hour, under the gentle slope, tens of thousands of Chu troops had already gathered.

On the hillside, the fiery red banner was waved vigorously by the knights on horseback, and at the same time, the cavalrymen on both sides waved their drumsticks, and each of them had a war drum on his horse.

The drums beat and the battle continued. This is the battle creed of the Fire Phoenix Army.

When the war drums of the Chu army sounded, the war drums of the Qi army on the opposite side sounded almost at the same time, and with the rumbling sound of war drums, the two armies began to move forward in silence, approaching each other.

This was the decisive battle of this battle, and the two sides did not use any other tricks, and coincidentally chose to collide head-on. There are no fancy skills, only the collision of iron and blood, the Chu people won, they will open the door to the Qi country, and from then on they will have the right to choose the offensive route, occupy the strategic initiative, the Qi people won, and then hold their own gate at the same time, will use this as a fulcrum, launch a counteroffensive, regain the previously lost ground at the same time, once again advance the front to Kunling Pass, so that the offensive and defensive momentum is transposed again.

Approaching, approaching, the terrible sound of arrows sounded in the camps of both sides, and from the rear teams of both sides, dense feathered arrows like flying locusts shot into the sky and flew towards their opponents.

The red Fire Phoenix Army ran, with a shield in one hand and a long knife in the other. The sound of arrows sounded, and all the shields were raised above their heads in unison, and when viewed from above, it looked like a large red tide surging forward. The feather arrows fell, and the clanging sound was endless, but it did not slow down the pace at all.

The gray spears of the Qi army were all raised to the sky at this time, shaking desperately, shooting down the feather arrows flying in the air. Arrows flew like locusts in the sky, but the damage done to the attackers on both sides was very small.

With a bang, the red and gray collided together. In an instant, the red lines were inserted into the dense gray like swimming spirit snakes. Tearing cracks in the gray sea. And behind them, the cyan eastern border army of the Chu army continued to expand the width of this crack along the crack torn by the Fire Phoenix Army.

As soon as the former army engaged, he was in a predicament, but under the banner of the Chinese army in the rear, Guo Yunji, the chief general of the Qi State, was not moved in the slightest, and his face was exactly the same as when he gave the order to start the attack, and he could not see the slightest expression.

The Fire Phoenix Army looks to attack sharply, but in his opinion, the stamina is already insufficient, after tearing apart the first offensive group of the Qi army, it is now difficult to move, and it has fallen into the layers of encirclement of the second wave of the Qi army's attack group, like a fierce beast trapped in the quagmire, even if there is still the intention to kill the enemy, but the ability of one body has been greatly reduced.

The Fire Phoenix Army is the army that breaks the formation, but the follow-up will depend on the Eastern Frontier Army behind them. Unlike the Fire Phoenix Army, which moved forward with all its strength and was deeply embedded in the enemy formation, the eastern border army of Chu State was steady and steady, following behind the Fire Phoenix Army, surrounded and annihilated the torn Qi army, and then stepped forward and moved towards the next target.

Luo Liang has transformed the Eastern Frontier Army for nearly two years, but on the battlefield, these most basic officers and soldiers still can't help but return to the previous battle mode, that is, the two modes of being as stable as Mount Tai and the Fire Phoenix Army as anxious as a spark.

This caused a disconnect between the Fire Phoenix Army and the Eastern Frontier Army behind it.

Guo Yunji's face finally showed a smile, if this situation continued, although his front army would inevitably have little left, his main force would be able to surround and eat the Fire Phoenix Army.

If you continue to fight like this, your final casualties will still be higher than your opponent's, but considering that the opponent is annihilated by the Fire Phoenix Army, then you still have an advantage. Because the annihilation of a formed Fire Phoenix Army is far more politically significant than military.

Like the Dragon Pavilions Army of Great Qi, the Fire Phoenix Army, as the personal soldier of the Son of Heaven of the Chu State, had only 50,000 people in the entire army.

Unlike Guo Yunji, who had a smile on his face, on the gentle slope opposite him, Luo Hu, who commanded this war, frowned deeply.

"There is still a long way to go!" Beside him, Fu Baoshi shook his head slowly.

Luo Hu took a deep breath and waved his hand, the tune of hundreds of war drums changed violently, and with the change of the drums, the Fire Phoenix Army no longer moved forward, but slowly moved closer to each other, relying on their combat strength higher than the other party, one by one the lines of fire began to gather together, and a huge circular battle array began to take shape and improve.

This is to turn from offensive to defensive, and to wait in place for the eastern border army of Chu behind him.

Guo Yunji naturally couldn't watch the Fire Phoenix Army, which was about to become a delicacy in his mouth, regather into a defensive formation, the banners were unfurled, the drums were rumbling, and a Qi army firmly held a gap, and more people poured into the center of this round formation.

The Qi army that held the gap fell one after another, but they poured up one after another, and the Qi troops in the circle were strangled one after another, but more people still rushed into the interior without hesitation.

The circular formation of the Fire Phoenix Army has always been unable to form a complete defensive posture because of the existence of this gap, and the casualties have begun to expand step by step.

On a mountain peak not far from the battlefield, several people were standing on the top of the mountain, watching this life-and-death battle between the two sides.

"The Fire Phoenix Army is the strongest fighting force in our Great Chu." Looking at the sharp offensive of the Fire Phoenix Army, Guo Jiuling's face was full of pride: "Invincible, invincible." ”

Qin Feng beside him snorted: "Lao Guo, have you ever seen my death battalion fight, to be honest, I really don't look down on the strongest force in your mouth." ”

Guo Jiuling glanced at Qin Feng: "General Qin, this is a bit bragging, right?" As far as I know, the casualties of the death battalion have always been very large, even during your tenure, the mortality rate has been maintained at about 30 to 40 percent in every battle. ”

"Yes, but Lao Guo, the Fire Phoenix Army has some similarities with our death camp, that is, everyone is a division that breaks the formation." Qin Feng stared intently at the battlefield below, for him, he was not interested in personal battles, he was interested in the contingency of the generals commanding the two sides. From now on, it seems that the lord of the Qi people is obviously more intelligent.

"What?"

"The division that breaks the formation should move forward." Qin Feng said: "Our death battalion is not much different from the equipment of the Fire Phoenix Army, of course, the quality of the armor is definitely incomparable." ”

"Of course, the armor is much lighter than yours, but the protection is better, and the knife is much sharper." Guo Jiuling said.

Qin Feng sneered: "The extra strength is all used to carry the shield, right?" ”

"General Qin, what do you mean?" Guo Jiuling felt that Qin Feng had something to say.

"What are shields for, for defense. The division that broke the formation, with the intention of defending, had already dropped a notch. Qin Feng's eyes were still staring at the changes on the battlefield, and he was secretly thinking about how he should deal with it, and then confirm the strain of the two coaches. But he still continued: "Have you seen the knife used by my death camp, it is about a foot longer than the knife of the Fire Phoenix Army, and the handle is also longer, which is suitable for holding the knife with both hands." This will make the slash more powerful. We don't need protection, because our task is to break the formation, that is, to move forward, and then forward, until we die. If it were our death battalion fighting below now, we would have rushed almost before their central army, and of course, we would probably have died almost. However, we also succeeded in our mission, which was to break the formation. ”

Glancing back at Guo Jiuling, who was a little stunned, Qin Feng continued: "This is the real formation-breaking division. The Fire Phoenix Army wants to be a division that breaks the formation, but it is committed to the balance of offense and defense, which makes itself a four-like, you see, this can't go up, can't go down, it's enough for them to stand it. And now there seems to be a problem with the cooperation between the Fire Phoenix Army and the behind him, and the longer the time, the more the balance of victory will be shifted like the other party. ”

After watching it for a long time, Qin Feng found that his thoughts were basically not much different from the ideas of the two commanders below, and he couldn't help but be very excited, what he lacked the most was this kind of experience in commanding a large corps of soldiers.

"Lao Guo, tell me, where should Xi'er be now?"

Guo Jiuling didn't answer, but looked straight in the other direction with his eyes, "General Qin, what's wrong with Luo Yishui?" ”

Qin Feng Huo Ran turned his head, he was too focused just now, and he didn't notice that Luo Yishui didn't know when, he had moved forward dozens of zhang away, and at this moment he was standing in front of a big tree, holding the tree with both hands and constantly hitting his head, and the snow on the tree was falling, about to pour him into a snowman.

"Xiaoshui, what's wrong with you?" Qin Feng rushed forward. (To be continued.) )
