144 The decisive battle is coming
Several governors were anxious and asked the prince why he did not march to the Causeway Valley, but the prince did not answer, and ordered all the soldiers to be stationed in the same place and stand by. The crowd waited as they were told.
After a while, the red sun was setting in the west, and suddenly there was a whistling sound in the sky, and a huge brontosaurus bird flew from the mountains behind Causeway Valley. The crown prince raised his head and laughed: "All the soldiers obey the order, and immediately march at full speed to the Causeway Valley!" ”
Before the expedition, the prince ordered Peng Yuchun to replace Xu Hong's position, Peng Yuchun led the light armored pike, unicorn archers, crossbow infantry, and rhinoceros long knife soldiers as the vanguard, and the prince and Guo Shida and Han Qide led the heavy troops behind, waiting for the chieftain's "poor" army to dispatch.
Soon the army entered the Causeway Valley, the Causeway Valley is surrounded by mountains, very vast, the northwest side of the valley is a mountain road that is not open, and the road from the mountain valley communicates, and the northwest exit is the only way to the chieftain Xijing.
The valley is surrounded by mountains and numerous tall trees. Approaching the late autumn, the red leaves are like the sea, and the whole valley seems to be splashed with blood, which is dazzling red and frightening. Hunting the west wind, skimming over the valley, there are bursts of shouts, showing a sad and murderous atmosphere.
The crown prince looked at the vanguard army led by Peng Yuchun lining up in a phalanx and advancing like a tide, he suddenly shivered, and an inexplicable panic hit his heart. The prince was not worried about the fierce "poor" army, and subconsciously he suddenly felt that the danger was unpredictable, like a fierce beast waiting for an opportunity to hunt for food, lurking somewhere silently.
"Your Highness is worry-free, Weichen is desperate to protect His Highness and kill the enemy bravely!" As the commander of the pro-army, Yue Qing seemed to see the uneasiness in the prince's heart, and spoke out to show his loyalty and appease the prince.
"For the sake of the country, what is there to fear of death? Personal safety is not enough to worry about, I only hope that this battle will completely exterminate the chieftain, and forever remove the big trouble for my Huaxia, and I hope that our soldiers can have fewer casualties! With your loyalty, this king is very pleased! After a while, you will be in battle and try to kill the enemy! The prince's eyes were full of gloom, and he looked at Yue Qingdao.
"Weichen swears to kill the thief, I have long had itchy hands, let these rabbit cubs taste the power of the big knife in my hand today!" Yue Qingdao.
Suddenly, in the forest on the other side of the valley, countless birds flew out in flocks, panicking. There was a sound of horns in front of them, and dense feather arrows rained down on the forward formation led by Peng Yuchun. Peng Yuchun hurriedly ordered the front army to stop marching, and quickly placed the lightly armored crossbow infantry and You Yi crossbowmen in front of the formation, and the foot soldiers covered with shields, and with a wave of the flag, ten thousand arrows were fired together, like locusts flying in the sky, shooting forward.
Peng Yuchun's army formation was flanked by a mixed battle team composed of lancers and unicorn archers, and the rear of the crossbow infantry army was a rhinoceros long knife formation. There is no guard on the march, which is used to paralyze the opponent, and when the enemy is encountered, it quickly changes formation. When Peng Yuchun saw the enemy appearing, he immediately completed the formation of troops, and ordered the crossbowmen of the front army to immediately return fire and start a rain of arrows with the opponent.
Countless chieftain soldiers suddenly appeared in the dark bushes on both sides of the military array, and the dust in the mountains and forests in front of them was flying, and the sound of a lion roaring tiger was heard from the sky, and it was obvious that the rain of arrows shot by the crossbow array did not suppress the lion and tiger army of the chieftain.
Hordes of lions, tigers and beasts sprang out of the jungle, like water bursting from a, and pounced on Peng Yuchun's crossbow and crossbow army. This group of fierce beasts is usually raised and domesticated by the chieftains, and they are trained to be used as offensive weapons. Behind the lion and tiger appeared countless chieftain foot soldiers, who whistled incessantly, and ordered the herd to launch a fierce attack.
The lions and tigers rushed like a rain of arrows, and fell to the ground in pieces, but they were not afraid, and they still looked at Peng Yuchun's crossbow soldiers one after another, and soon rushed to the front of the formation. Peng Yuchun waved the flag, and the shield and sword soldiers came forward one after another, fighting with all the fierce beasts, and in an instant, the dust covered the sun, and the sky was dark.
"Woooooo The sound of horns came from the jungle on both sides, and the rumbling sound of footsteps approached from afar, like a giant waterfall falling from the top of the mountain, which was deafening. Countless black unicorns and lancers rushed out in formation, and at this moment, the rear of the lion and tiger array sounded a burst of elephant roars, and countless tall "spotted mammoths" were driven by the chieftain's riders to gallop and kill.
The commanders of the two armies on the left and right of the chieftain, Hanquan Mano and Yanagi Shitao, have ordered the army to come out together, forming a three-sided attack, intending to annihilate Peng Yuchun's army in one fell swoop. Peng Yuchun was in danger, and immediately divided the iron-clad rhinoceros longsword soldiers behind the army formation into two roads, left and right, and lined up to meet the chieftain's black unicorn and pikemen, and at the same time pushed half of the mobile and flexible light-armored pikemen and unicorn archers forward to resist the enemy's elephant cavalry.
Tens of thousands of Qilin archers and pikes swept the ground like a mad gallop, speeding through the lion and tiger formation. But when the spear flashed, the blood burst out, and the bowstring sounded, the lion and tiger were killed. It can be said that the clouds are in formation, thousands of thunders rise, and thousands of horses are scattered, and they crash head-on into the elephant cavalry that is also rushing to kill. Then look at the rhinoceros long knife soldiers on the left and right flanks advancing like city walls, and the fierce chieftain Qilin cavalry and pikemen collided violently and started a fierce battle. In an instant, long knives towered, spears and spears formed a forest, and the sounds of fighting, beast roars, weapons clashing, shouting, whistling, miserable screams, and moans accompanied by the sound of the surrounding undulating forest waves, resounded throughout the valley.
There is a poem: "The autumn wind is rushing in the wilderness, and the ten thousand horsemen are crisscrossing and crisscrossing." The guns and swords are like the afterglow of the forest, and the smoke and blood are neon. Layers of military formations are in the golden embankment, and the soldiers are thundering and murderous. Thousands of competitions have become dreams, and a volume of green books remembers the soul. ”
Peng Yuchun's army fought with the chieftain's vanguard army, and the chieftain's soldiers feigned defeat several times, trying to lure the Chinese army to the depths of the valley. The prince knew of his opponent's intentions, so he only ordered Peng Yuchun to engage in battle on the spot and not to pursue the chieftain's army. The crown prince and the generals understood that the opposing commander, Yutian Nagahito, had not yet sent a "poor" army, and a vicious battle had just begun.
Another dull sound of war drums came, and clusters of blue-black appeared on both sides of the valley and directly in front of them, which was the "Seven Poor Soldiers" formation! The "poor" cavalry is seven horizontal and seven vertical, as far as the eye can see, a team of "seven poor and poor" forms a larger corps, and thousands of ironclad knights are interspersed between the "poor and poor" soldiers, and the steps of the "poor and poor" soldiers are uniform, and the dull footsteps are superimposed together, and the whole earth trembles, as if a huge tsunami suddenly roared from the back of the valley!
Yutian Changren originally wanted to lure the entire Huaxia army to the place where the "poor" ambush soldiers were with light troops, and wipe them all out, so as to prevent the main Huaxia force from escaping. He watched Hanquan Mano and Liu Xiannan in the jungle and lured the Chinese army into the depths several times, but they all failed, so he asked Xue Zhongbing. That Xue Zhongbing had already hidden his evil intentions, and took out a plan that had been discussed before he surrendered to Chengcheng to deceive Yutian Changren, and instigated him to push forward more than 100,000 "poor and poor" and eat the main force of Huaxia in one fell swoop, while leaving only 10,000 "poor and poor" cavalry and thousands of infantry troops to protect the main formation. Yutian Changren didn't know what to do, and he was eager to win, so he pointed at the flag, and more than 100,000 "poor and poor" cavalry were all killed from the forest.
