Chapter 471: The two armies confront each other
Two days later.
Zhao Changqing ordered the officers and soldiers of all armies.
Yue Fei and Li Cunxiao led a million troops to besiege Tai'an City.
Zhao Yun led 500,000 troops, and Xiang Yu led 400,000 troops. When the army faced off against the enemy, they launched a strangled siege from the left and right sides of the enemy.
Zhao Changqing personally led an army of 800,000 people, all of whom went into battle and faced off against the enemy's main force.
As for the Wushan grain and grass that Li Cunxiao asked before, Zhuge Liang had safely transferred it many days ago using wooden oxen and stray horses.
If the enemy army really attacks Wushan, there will be an ambush of two to three hundred thousand troops waiting for them, led by Cao Cao.
Zhao Changqing originally wanted Zhao Hongji to follow him to Wushan.
But the latter refused.
As a passionate young man, what he looks forward to is that one day he can go into battle and kill the enemy in person.
Now that there is an opportunity in front of him, how can he give up?
Zhao Changqing had no choice but to follow his will, but warned him uneasily: "If the war breaks out later, you must stay with me and don't act without authorization."
Zhao Hongji agreed happily on the surface, but in fact he had already had his own ideas in his heart.
He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and was unwilling to use it as a foil to witness the experience of this battle with his own eyes. He wanted to personally participate in this battle, wield his own sword, kill the enemy and serve the country.
It was probably after noon that Zhao Changqing, who was dressed in armor, led an army and arrived at the bank of Tongning River.
At this time, Emperor Li Qingcang of the Tang Dynasty had been waiting for a long time on the other side of the river with an army of millions.
Seeing the arrival of the Wei army, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty felt the presence of Zhao Changqing at his first keen glance.
He placed a table by the river, with a jug of wine and a few dishes on the table.
After seeing Zhao Changqing sitting on horseback and wearing extremely bright armor, he asked: "But the Emperor of Wei is here?"
Zhao Changqing said: "I have good eyesight. I am here."
Both of them have martial arts skills, so when they say something angry, they don't need to let their subordinates pass it on.
His inner strength is enough to make his voice spread to both the enemy and ourselves.
Li Qingcang smiled slightly. It seemed that his eyesight was really good. He could recognize him at the first sight among the crowd. "Zhao Changqing, I never thought that you and I would face each other face to face."
Zhao Changqing said: "When the three families were divided into the Jin Dynasty, when you, the Tang Kingdom, came rashly to reap the benefits, it already indicated that this day would come. Time flies, and I have been looking forward to this battle for a long time!"
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty poured himself a glass of wine, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed loudly: "Zhao Changqing? The battle between you and me will completely determine the ownership of the world. I hope you and your Wei soldiers will not disappoint me. I am sure
Tang Man'er, have you prepared the butcher's knife? I'm going to swing it at you!"
Zhao Changqing said: "Stop talking nonsense? All the soldiers in the army listen to the order and beat the drums! Get ready to charge!"
After Zhao Changqing finished speaking these words, the Emperor of Tang's face changed slightly. Two strong men at the pinnacle of land immortals suddenly appeared beside him, protecting his safety.
"Your Majesty, is it dangerous here? Should we go back to the rear first?"
"Yes, Your Majesty? Let's get out of here first?"
Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the Emperor of Tang was unmoved and still loudly said to Zhao Changqing: "Why are you so anxious? Why don't you come to the river and have a drink with me? After three rounds of drinking, let's talk about the military formation.
It’s not too late.”
Zhao Changqing frowned when he heard the sound and ordered Xiao Yuming beside him: "Fire arrows and use the Zhuge Liannu to shoot this old bastard into the hedgehog range!"
He felt something was not quite right.
But I couldn't tell what was wrong.
Xiao Yuming nodded upon hearing this and waved his command flag.
In an instant, the soldiers holding Zhuge's crossbows fired arrows at Tang Emperor Li Qingcang one by one.
When he saw the crossbow arrows flying toward him, his face changed drastically. He quickly stood up and walked quickly behind him, regardless of what was going on behind him.
As an emperor, even if you run, you must run gracefully.
We cannot let the soldiers feel that they are afraid.
But this was very painful for the two land gods who protected him on his left and right sides.
This is the Zhuge Liannu, not an ordinary bow and arrow, it is extremely powerful.
And thousands of sharp arrows were shot together.
It’s a bit laborious to resist this!
But for the emperor's safety, they could only do their best.
Fortunately, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty walked very fast, and no crossbow arrow could hurt him.
The two land gods were also safe and sound.
Seeing this, Zhao Changqing directly ordered the army to charge forward.
The Tang army also blew the horn and began to confront the Wei army.
The officers and soldiers of both armies are all cavalry at the front, chariot troops in the middle, infantry next, and finally the crossbowmen or sword and shield troops.
Because two million armies are fighting each other, basically the damage caused by hedging is more.
From a distance, Zhao Changqing saw several land gods from the Wei Kingdom. They united together, intentionally or unintentionally, to form a large formation. All the soldiers who stepped into the formation were undoubtedly killed.
This is a battle composed of sixteen land gods, and their combat power is truly unimaginable.
Colorful moves were shining in the army. Every time a land god used a move, not only one soldier would die, but there would even be astonishing chain reactions.
There was a land god from the Tang Army who was not afraid of life and death and single-handedly fought into the Wei Army's hinterland. He was surrounded by numerous Wei Army soldiers, but he seemed to be unafraid in the face of danger. He punched and kicked no one who dared to come within three feet of him.
The land gods of the Wei army were mainly concentrated among the Five Tiger Generals or senior generals, and their number could not be compared with that of the Tang army.
Therefore, after the first confrontation, the Wei army suffered a big loss.
Zhao Changqing must take action.
He pulled out the Human Emperor Sword and told his son again: "Take care of yourself!"
Then he ignored him and began to kill the enemy land god who came to the hinterland of Wei with his bare hands.
When Zhao Hongji saw this, he also raised his horse and attacked the Tang army.
When Zhao Changqing arrived, the land god had already killed no less than a thousand people and was already in a state of exhaustion.
He took the opportunity to kill him with a sword.
This master who was not afraid of death but was fierce and fearless against the enemy. Not only had he just become a land immortal, he had already killed no less than 2,000 people in the Wei army as he advanced.
This is the power of land gods.
Once they really fight for their lives without any scruples, ordinary warriors will not be their opponents at all, and they will only keep harvesting.
Therefore, for the land gods who are fighting between the two armies, there are only two ways to kill them. One is to be hunted by masters of the same level who find an opening, and the other is to die from exhaustion.
Zhao Changqing did not deal with the ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, because for him, hunting down the enemy's land gods was much more meaningful than killing ordinary soldiers.
However, the land gods of these enemy countries seemed to know the power of the Emperor of Wei.
Therefore, you will never fight him alone. Whenever you fight with him, there will be at least two to three land gods around you to attack him. Otherwise, fighting him alone will only be a court of death.
Even in twos and threes, when the enemy's land immortal masters faced off against Zhao Changqing, they were still in a state of being beaten, but because of their cooperation with each other, they were able to escape in time at the critical moment.
This is what Zhao Changqing feels most angry about.
When he saw that the enemy's killing array composed of sixteen land gods had killed no fewer than thousands of his own soldiers, he became furious.
Suddenly, he saw a figure entering the formation.
"No, Jill, get out of here!"
That figure was none other than Zhao Hongji.
He is young, frivolous and fearless.
After entering the enemy's formation, due to my shallow martial arts cultivation, I didn't find anything unusual.
Zhao Changqing pushed towards the enemy formation at all costs, hoping to save Zhao Hongji.
Because once he steps into the enemy's formation, his chances of survival will be very slim based on his cultivation.
However, at such a critical moment, the other four or five land gods seemed to notice his anxious expression, and immediately attacked him to prevent him from entering the formation.
Zhao Changqing was delayed by these land gods, and the battle started instantly. There were explosions one after another, and strange fires spread across the fields. He wanted to break out from the siege of these people as quickly as possible, but they, they...
Not as he wished!
At this time, the enemy's land immortal masters who had formed a large formation were already killing Zhao Hongji without hesitation.
