Chapter 13: The First Battle (2)
The two arrows battle array, like two huge arrows, have become sharp arrows, flying relative to each other across the vast field. Everywhere the arrow went, it was like a thousand pounds, and the dust was flying.
The high-spirited horse's hooves rumbled like thunder, covering up all the noise, and the two elite cavalry ironclad battle formations were getting closer and closer, a hundred paces, fifty steps, and finally collided together.
The moment the two armies intersected, on the line in front of their respective horses, the long lances of the cavalry on both sides at the flat end, far beyond the horse's head, stabbed at the body of the opponent's cavalry.
The neighing of horses suddenly sounded, the sound of Jin Ge striking each other was short and crisp, the sound of the blade piercing the armor into the flesh was clear in the ears, and the screams were mixed with the sound of the horses' hooves, and the torrent swept through everything like a torrent, covering all senses.
The cavalry at the front of the array of the two armies staggered by, some fell off their horses and some were unharmed, and each of them galloped forward into each other's arrays, and all the soldiers in the front saw the endless sea of iron armor in front of them, and saw the long lance like a jungle of thorns.
The smoke and dust brought out by the respective cavalry arrays collided head-on, blended with each other, and divided each other, and the horses galloped fast in the battle array, and the uninterrupted smoke and dust lines were vertical and horizontal in the array of black armor and black horses, like Qianmo in the thousands of acres of fertile fields.
The roars and shouts of killing suddenly became louder, and even the sound of rumbling horses' hooves was muffled, and the screams came and went, which was breathtaking.
The arrays of the two armies, which were originally tightly knit, were staggered with each other in the gallop, gradually revealing sporadic blanks, or lines, or patches. The horses were still galloping with the army, but the cavalry on horseback was gone.
The cavalry officers who fell in the array, whether they lived or died, did not stand up, and were soon trampled by the enemy's own horses' hooves, and instantly turned into pulp.
Scarlet blood stained the wilderness.
Li Ye is next to Shangguan Allure, the eldest young commander is behind Li Ye, followed by Shangguan Allure's own soldiers, as the head of the arrow array, they are naturally under the greatest pressure, and they are also the strongest part of the whole array.
As a monk of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation, Li Ye was not afraid of any oncoming lance, under the rapid gallop of the war horse, one figure after another, as soon as Wu appeared in front of his eyes, he quickly passed by him, as if he was watching a flower.
Every long lance that pierced in front of Li Ye could not break through his defensive barrier, either broken or deviated, Li Ye knew the essentials of the cavalry charging formation, the long lance at the flat end did not move at all, and even the position of the head of the front was not changed, always pointing in one direction.
The enemy cavalry in front of his long lance was all killed by falling from his horse.
As long as it is not a sorcerer in the Qi refining period, in the process of rapid intersection of the galloping war horse, the opponent has little room to dodge, and only those sharp warriors who bow their bodies and cling to the horse's back can avoid the front.
The clattering sound of the blade sweeping through the armor, the popping sound of the soldiers falling off their horses, and the screams of being trampled by the war horses sounded in Li Ye's ears like waves, endlessly. He didn't even have to look around and look back to judge the proportion of casualties on both sides.
The front composed of Li Ye and others was indestructible, unimpeded all the way, and quickly rushed through the opponent's battle array. When there was no more soldier in front of him, Shangguan Chengcheng skillfully adjusted the direction of the war horse's galloping, and led the entire cavalry battle formation to turn around a big bend in the wilderness and turn around.
After a round of charge, the speed of the cavalry gallop naturally decreased a lot.
The battle formations of the two armies intersected, leaving hundreds of corpses in the clearing behind them, and the torrent of iron armor was like a long dragon, turning around in the wilderness, and rushing towards the opponent's battle array again.
In this process, everyone finally had the leisure to observe the loss of their own array, Li Ye frowned, and the wolf teeth had lost a lot, much higher than he expected. He originally thought that with the proportion of monks in the Wolf Tooth Capital, the army would be invincible wherever it went.
Now it seems that even if it is a monk, when it comes to the battle of the cavalry, as long as the cultivation is not too high, he does not have the ability to control the battle situation alone. The cavalry rushed into battle, and between life and death, a small action decided the life and death of both sides.
Only the elite of a hundred battles can find the tricks that cannot be exhausted in words, and at the same time protect themselves, they can kill and damage the enemy to the greatest extent.
The training of the wolf tooth capital has been enough, and when there is almost no stop, there has been a lot of experience in suppressing bandits, but now it seems that without real battlefield fighting, no matter how many soldiers are trained, they cannot be called elite, and the soldiers who have survived the bloody battle are undoubtedly the elite of the elite.
In some cases, the experience and skill of fighting on the battlefield are even more important than the quality of the armament.
The cavalry array in the gallop began to adjust the formation, and the blank gaps left by the dead cavalry were filled by the soldiers behind to ensure the rigor of the military formation. In the battle of the battlefield, the completeness of the military formation directly determines the outcome of the battle.
Li Ye turned his head and looked ahead, his eyebrows were awe-inspiring, the two armies were facing each other head-on again at this time, and the war horses roared through the bloodstained battlefield, and rushed towards each other again.
Li Ye was not in a relaxed mood, and Zhu Zhen's face was even more sinking, he stared at the wolf's teeth, his eyes were red as if he wanted to burst into flames.
The front arrow formation is a cavalry battle infantry, and it is best to tear the formation of the infantry army, but in fact, it is not the superior choice of the cavalry to hedge, the two armies charge the formation with the front arrow, in fact, they are sure, a charge will tear the opponent's military formation, and the winner will be divided.
But after a round of rushing into the formation, Zhu Zhen was disappointed to find that the formation of the wolf tooth capital was still intact, and the casualties were far lower than he expected, not only that, but the casualties of his troops were also greater than he expected.
Zhu Zhen originally thought that the wolf fangs were just a group of recruits, and they were not vulnerable to a hundred battles like them, but the facts told him that he was wrong.
Wolf Tooth not only has a high proportion of monks, and gives more damage to their own side in the rushing formation, but also is well-trained, after a round of fierce battles, the formation is not chaotic at all, and the performance and combat treatment of the soldiers in the charging formation are only a little worse than their elites in a hundred battles.
It is conceivable that after only a few trainings, the cavalry in front of him will really become a fine cavalry.
In addition, Zhu Zhen also keenly discovered that among the 3,000 cavalry, there was obviously a part of the backbone force, which was the real battlefield veterans, and they served as the skeleton of the entire military formation, ensuring the impact and order of the military formation.
Such a group of old pawns accounted for about a quarter of the three thousand horsemen, and Zhu Zhen clearly felt the strong murderous aura on the other party's body in the process of meeting those old pawns, and the will to move forward and resist the gods. That's an absolute elite of a hundred battles, even more elite than his troops.
However, under Li Ye's command, how could there be such a group of elite soldiers?
Zhu Zhen quickly thought, isn't it the personal soldier left by Li Xian, the king of Lao An?
Thinking of this suddenly, Zhu Zhen was shocked, if this is really the case, then if this battle is to be won, I am afraid that the price to be paid is far beyond imagination. Thinking of this, Zhu Zhen no longer hesitated, he had no mind to follow the step-by-step order, it seemed that in order to quickly win this battle, he had to use some strange tricks.
When passing through the battlefield of the horizontal corpse, Li Ye took the corpse in his eyes, and silently calculated in his heart, in the process of charging the battle just now, the wolf tooth was three thousand horsemen against the other party's five thousand horsemen, and the casualties were not less than that of the other party. If the fight continues like this, the inferiority of troops will be highlighted step by step, and when the casualties reach a certain percentage, the wolf's teeth will only end up in a rout.
can't rush into battle step by step, Li Ye made up his mind.
"Allure, stay back, I'll come up and lead the battle!" Li Ye rode his horse to speed up and switched places with Shangguan Allure. Now although Shangguan Allure is a military general, her cultivation realm is still not enough, and the military general realm cannot cover three thousand horsemen, so the effect of letting her lead the formation is not great.
Li Ye took the place of Shangguan Allure and charged at the forefront, with the eldest young commander ordering one left and one right, guarding his side. Although the exercises of the two of them were not suitable for battle in battle, after all, the cultivation of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation was placed there, and it was far from something that ordinary monks could compete with.
Li Ye hung the lance back in the saddle, such a mortal weapon had no effect on him, Lu Gujian took it out and held it in his hand in an instant.
The two armies galloped forward, and they were about to look at each other, and Li Ye could see the hideous, ferocious, and murderous faces of the opposing cavalry. When the war horse gallops, the shaking of muscle fibers is fast and powerful, full of powerful beauty.
The aura lit up the dense lines of the sword body, and Li Ye was ready to go.
At this moment, in the array of Zhu Zhen's army, countless spiritual aura suddenly lit up, and a large group of cavalry suddenly flew up from the horseback.
They all held spirit swords in their hands, and after jumping into the air, the spirit swords slashed in the air, and dozens of spirit wind swords flew out! And under their feet, dozens of fireballs had already condensed and formed, and they smashed out with the sword qi!
The distance between the two formations was less than a hundred paces, which was a matter of an instant arrival for the galloping cavalry array.
Dozens of sword qi and dozens of fireballs flew in, each sword qi was longer than a zhang, and each fireball was bigger than a winter melon, among which there were several monks, which were clearly the middle stage of qi training, and the condensed fireballs and sword qi were even more huge!
It is conceivable that if the spell falls into the cavalry array, it will inevitably cause at least one hundred and ten casualties and cause chaos among hundreds of people.
Concentrate the monks in front of the formation, and before receiving the formation, launch a dense spell attack, although this is not a new routine, but it is indeed very practical!
Zhu Zhen clenched his spear tightly, looking crazy, making it clear that as long as his monk succeeded, he would jump out and further expand the results of the battle!
The soldiers of the wolf's tooth capital were all awe-inspiring, and many of them showed a look of panic, the monks in their formation did not gather in the front formation, how to resist in the face of such a fierce attack?
It is also thanks to the fact that the wolf teeth are well-trained, although they are frightened and frightened, but no one has moved, and no one has messed up, and they are still riding their horses and galloping, without slowing down at all. Otherwise, once in a panic, turning the horse's head or slowing down, it will inevitably stir up a thousand waves with one stone, causing great chaos.
In the face of the overwhelming spell attack, Li Ye's face was always calm, and before he could make any moves, the big young master had already flown up together, and the two of them sealed their hands at the same time, and pushed forward at the same time, each condensing a huge yin and yang pattern in front of him, and slammed into the air!
The fireball and sword qi lived on the yin and yang patterns, and they exploded violently, and the aura in mid-air overflowed the sky, as bright as fireworks, and as dazzling as meteors.
After the two yin and yang patterns exploded and dissipated, dozens of fireballs and dozens of sword qi also disappeared into invisibility at the same time.
Da Shao Si Ming's face turned pale at the same time. Obviously, the joint surgery method that shook more than 100 people, even if they were practicing qi at the ninth level, they also felt a lot of pressure.
At this time, Li Ye had already risen into the air, and the Lu Gu sword in his hand was full of light, and he slashed downward, sword after sword, and slashed out three swords in an instant.
The three sword qi were each twenty zhang long, and they were connected to each other to form a huge inverted triangle, which just covered the entire front and blasted into Zhu Zhen's array!
The monks who took the lead were all shocked in the face of the sudden drop of sword qi, some of them hurriedly raised the aura barrier, and some of them didn't have time to react at all, but no matter how they responded, the three sword qi fell straight into the military formation.
The air wave exploded suddenly, the cyan light covered the sky and the sun, the violent roar was gone, and the flesh and blood flew on the three lines, the blood and cyan reflected each other, indescribably brilliant and colorful, and terrifying and cruel.
The green mangs dispersed, three huge ravines appeared in the array, and the surrounding cavalry all turned on their backs, hundreds of corpses were broken on the spot, and hundreds of people were also injured, and because of the huge chaos that suddenly appeared, the cavalry that was affected, and hundreds of people knelt on their horses!
In the past, Nangong was the first to realize the sword, holding a sting, going north to the border pass, three swords to break the enemy's 800 armor, so that the border Hu people retreated in panic.
Now, Li Ye's three swords directly crushed the front of Zhu Zhen's army, and the entire army array was in chaos, and the wolf teeth were able to take the opportunity to advance, break into the formation, and start a bloody killing.
Li Ye finished slashing with three swords, and before he could put away his sword and fall back on his horse, a phantom suddenly appeared in mid-air. Li Ye's face changed, and he immediately raised his sword on his chest, but because of the suddenness of the incident, he couldn't take precautions, and was knocked back hundreds of steps with one blow!
