Chapter 137: The Battle of Zhuolu (11)
The army was on the march, and the Yanhuang tribal alliance held a grand ceremony to worship the sky.
The altar of worshipping heaven is set on the outskirts of the Yellow Emperor City, and is made of huge stone masonry. The altar is square, with a side length of 81 meters, and is divided into five layers, and the area decreases step by step. Directly south, there is a single step, a total of 80 steps, leading to the fourth floor of the altar. On both sides of the stairs, there are two cowhide drums.
On the fourth floor of the altar, the main sacrifice place, there are four huge torches standing in the four corners. In addition, on both sides of the stairs due south, there are also two cowhide drums.
The fifth layer of the altar is the most mysterious, five meters high, in the shape of eight trigrams and eight corners, and the top of each corner picks out a piece of stone, and hangs a banner full of witch scripts.
On the east and west sides of the altar, there are totem flags of various tribes, tigers, leopards, jackals, and all-encompassing. On the left and right sides of the south, the banners of the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yandi tribe stand respectively. As for the player's lord flag, only Ouyang Shuo, as the representative of the Inhumans, is qualified to stand the lord flag of Shanhai Town on the east side.
After Ouyang Shuo set up the lord flag, there was a system prompt sound in his ears.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, the lord flag of Shanhai Town is blessed by the incense of the Yellow Emperor tribe's altar of the gods, and derives the territorial trait - the protection of the gods (increases the defense of the territory by 10%)."
Ouyang Shuo was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately ordered Wang Feng, who was standing beside him, to remember to take back the lord flag, bring it back to the territory, and hang it in the middle of the city tower.
Around the altar is an open field. The 50,000 troops of the Yellow Emperor tribe lined up to the south of the altar. The 30,000 troops of the Yandi tribe lined up on the west side of the altar. The 40,000 allied troops of small and medium-sized tribes lined up on the east side of the altar. As for the 8,000-strong Inhuman troops, they lined up on the north side of the altar. More than 100,000 troops, densely surrounding the altar, looked extremely spectacular.
The auspicious time has arrived, and the ritual of sacrificing to heaven has officially begun, and the sorcerer of the Yellow Emperor tribe presides over the sacrificial proceedings. The whole process came down, and it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
Immediately afterwards, the Yellow Emperor read out the text of the crusade against the Chiyou tribe.
Finally, there is the grand dance festival. The sorcerer and the women of the tribe, wearing makeup, danced witch dances, sang witch songs, and recited bird forbidden spells. The warriors around them, in response to the beat of the witch song, danced the battle array dance, which looked extremely spectacular. Let the players who watched from the sidelines be shocked.
Whether it is a witch dance or a battle array dance, it is extremely simple, but it is just dancing up and down repeatedly, jumping left and right to the beat. However, when you are really immersed, you can feel the power of the wilderness, rough and mysterious; In order to appreciate the wisdom of the ancient ancestors, simple and immortal.
"What a worthwhile trip!" Bai Hua on the side sighed.
"Yes, even if you don't get any rewards in the end, it's worth it to go through an ancient ritual of worshipping the heavens." The phoenix chimed in.
Ouyang Shuo was not as sentimental as these two beauties, and said with a smile: "Is this content? More exciting is yet to come. ”
Regarding Ouyang Shuo's incomprehensible amorous feelings, the two beauties gave him a slap in the face very tacitly.
……
After the end of the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, the Yellow Emperor raised an army of 120,000 troops, and sent troops to the field of Zhuolu, approaching Chiyou Village.
The 50,000 army of the Yellow Emperor tribe was the middle army, the 30,000 army of the Yandi tribe was on the left flank, and the 40,000 army of the small and medium-sized tribes was on the right flank. As for the Inhuman force of eight thousand people, it was on the far right of the right flank.
The Chinese army of the Yellow Emperor tribe, with bears, wolves, leopards, eagles, dragons, owls, etc., as totems, drove fierce beasts to fight, and was the secret weapon of the Yellow Emperor tribe.
As the representative of the Inhumans, Ouyang Shuo has the right to arrange the phalanx of the Inhuman troops. He arranged the 2,000 people of the Shanhai Alliance in the innermost side, the 3,000-strong coalition army outside, and the emperor and their troops outside.
The innermost side seems to be dangerous, but it is conducive to hand-to-hand contact with the soldiers of the Chiyou tribe and earn contribution points. On the contrary, the outermost troops had to fight each other face-to-face with the Inhuman legions of the Chiyou camp.
Although Emperor Chen gritted his teeth at Ouyang Shuo, he could only swallow his anger.
In ancient times, there was not much strategy for marching and fighting, and they basically went straight to the ground. The two warring sides agreed on a place, set up a position, and at the sound of an order, the soldiers on both sides rushed to the opposite side with a snort, directly hand-to-hand combat, without any fancy.
At most, it's to take advantage of climate change, such as heavy rains or droughts. Like before, the Yellow Emperor tribe used the flood to wash away Chiyou City, which is a relatively high-end strategy by taking advantage of the terrain.
Chiyou Village is less than ten kilometers away from the Yellow Emperor City, and it has been known by Chiyou when the forces of various tribes gather in the Yellow Emperor City. Today's big battle can't escape the detection of the Chiyou tribe.
With Chiyou's temper, where can he endure such a provocation, he immediately gathered his troops and rushed out of Chiyou Village, bound to compete with the two emperors of Yan and Huang.
More than 200,000 troops on both sides met unexpectedly in the field of Zhuolu, and the distance between the front and back was only one thousand meters. The horizontal queue stretches for miles, and there is no edge in sight.
The Yellow Emperor stood on top of the chariot and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Chiyou, today is your time of death. ”
Chi You was not to be outdone, and roared: "Yellow Emperor, Hugh has to take advantage of his tongue, who is the overlord of the Central Plains, it will be decided by today's battle." Just wait to surrender to me, and when the time comes, I can spare your life. ”
The eighty-one brothers standing next to Chi You laughed together, doing their best to mock them.
Emperor Yan couldn't stand it, looked at the Yellow Emperor, and said, "Yellow Emperor, give an order." ”
The Yellow Emperor nodded, raised the stone sword in his hand, waved it forward, and said loudly: "Kill!" ”
"Kill!"
The warriors on both sides roared and ran to the opposite side. In just a distance of one kilometer, in less than two minutes, the two sides collided together. In an instant, flesh and blood flowed like a river. If you look down from the air, you will find that the two torrents, on a mile-long front, are strangled together, and it is inseparable.
Compared to simple and straightforward warfare between tribes, the battle between Inhuman legions is much more skillful. The cavalry was the first to charge, followed by the sword and shield men, and then the archers.
After the two sides took over, Ouyang Shuo kept a heart. Ordered Zhang Liao to lead a cavalry force of 500 people to avoid the Inhuman army on the opposite side, directly insert into the Chiyou tribe diagonally opposite, cooperate with the tribal alliance, and launch a charge. Ordered Mu Guiying, straighten out the archers, and cover the charge of the cavalry troops.
In this way, Di Chen and his allies were inseparable from the opposite Xiongba and others, but Ouyang Shuo led his descendants to earn contribution points frantically. If it weren't for killing the soldiers of the Inhuman Legion, he could also make money to contribute to the battle, and Ouyang Shuo estimated that Emperor Chen would go crazy.
The well-equipped cavalry units, under the double cover of archers and the combined forces of the Horde, unexpectedly tore a hole in the left flank of the Chiyou camp. In particular, the fifty hoplites running at the forefront were simply fierce beasts in the world, like an arrow, tearing the enemy in front of it to pieces. Lin Yi, who took the lead, was covered in blood when he was fighting, like a devil who came out of hell.
Although the warriors of the Chiyou tribe are known for their bravery, where have they ever seen such a force, after a little resistance, they are afraid and dare not approach. In this way, the cavalry force of 500 people shuttled back and forth on the left flank of the 20,000 people of the Chiyou tribe, as if entering a no-man's land.
Seeing this opportunity, the Yellow Emperor immediately made a decision and ordered Chang Xian to lead 5,000 people to reinforce the right wing, striving to crush the left wing of the Chiyou tribe in one fell swoop.
With Chang Xian's reinforcements, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was more handy. Compared with Lin Yi, Zhang Liao's strategic vision and tactical literacy are obviously superior. He ordered the troops not to be greedy for merit, not to be in love with war, and to take the defeat of large forces of the enemy as their main goal. As long as they see signs of the other side building, they will immediately disperse them and deny the other side a chance to regroup their troops.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo's troops, they were majestic on the battlefield. Emperor Chen and Chun Shenjun are not fools, although the civil war of the Inhuman Legion can earn contribution points, but the battle loss ratio is too large, and the gains outweigh the losses. The two sides actually stopped the battle with great tacit understanding, each leading its own troops and rushing towards the other tribe's legions, harvesting contribution points without interfering with each other.
Ouyang Shuo stood aside and couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the strange appearance of the Inhuman Legion. Sure enough, none of the representatives of these big forces is a fuel-efficient lamp, and where can they easily control it. I have the advantage this time, but I am just relying on the identity of the representative of the Inhuman.
Chun Shenjun and Wolf Warrior led the Inhuman Legion, just enough to intercept the Chang Xian troops who rushed to reinforce them. For a time, the battlefield fell back into a stalemate.
Now that the Inhuman Legion had stopped fighting, Ouyang Shuo immediately made a decision and ordered the remaining Inhuman Legion to advance forward and cooperate with the previous cavalry troops to strangle the left wing legion of the Chiyou tribe.
The whole battlefield is like a chess game, interlocking. Ouyang Shuo took the lead on the right flank, and after all, it slowly caused a chain reaction, and the Yellow Emperor tribe began to gradually grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
The troops of both sides fought for a whole day, and it was not until the evening that they each gave up.
The original green field has been stained red with blood. Everywhere there were broken arms and stumps, broken knives, guns, axes, and axes, and they were all over the place. Against the backdrop of the sunset, it looks even more tragic.
Bai Hua and Mulan Yue and several other women couldn't stand the bloody scenes on the battlefield for a long time, and retreated to the rear early. Even Ouyang Shuo himself, although he had experienced several bandits before, was still a little uncomfortable when he saw the scene in front of him.
When he was retreating, Di Chen passed by Ouyang Shuo's side and said coldly: "Brother Wuyi, it's so calculating, Emperor admires it so much." ”
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and said casually, "Thank you Brother Dichen for your compliment." During the military discussion in the evening, I will truthfully report the credit of Brother Dichen to the Yellow Emperor. ”
Di Chen's expression was stunned for a moment, and then he thought of the privilege that Ouyang Shuo had, snorted coldly, and turned away without looking back. (To be continued.) )
