Chapter 211 Scene 28: Red Armored Fire Prairie Five
Just half an hour before Ye Guojun broke into the forest rashly, the cavalry army of unknown origin was hiding in the forest, carefully observing the situation at the ferry outside.
This iron brigade, which was heavily armored and numbered nearly 10,000 people, was the Red Flame Army that crossed the Jinhe River under the leadership of Jiang Yan and marched southward, penetrating through the highlands of the Imperial Capital. Their march south this time was too large, and for
To avoid being discovered prematurely by Yujing's guards, he has been lingering on the edge of the desert a hundred miles north of the city.
The city of Yujing is bounded by plain roads in the north, west and east directions. Only in the south of the city, near the Tongyan River and the Yushui River, is there a primeval jungle for the army to hide in. With great difficulty, General Yan finally arrived last night.
A continuous heavy rain finally seized the opportunity to avoid the defenders' eyes and ears and reached the north bank of Yu River, and sent scouts to successfully sneak into the city.
At present, his army is mainly composed of young and strong men from the Muyun, Chuoluo, Yimu and Qingzi tribes. Many of them are veterans who survived the previous battle against Yubei. Each of them only has enough food for one day.
They only had enough rations, but they were accompanied by at least three Shuobei horses. Relying on the replacement of horses, even if they had to travel day and night for several days, this cavalry army that had sneaked into the hinterland of Dashengchao Gyeonggi still had enough energy to fight.
But today the weather is clearing up, and the sunlight falling from the heights of the dense forest merges into golden beams of light, which shine on the red armor worn by the sergeants, reflecting a fiery crimson color in the shadowy forest. It is just dawning, and it will be
Yan then ordered his soldiers to collect vine branches from the forest to slightly cover their red armor. But before they could take any action, they heard the rumbling of war drums outside the forest, and two mighty armies arrived.
The young He Han led Wu Chen to the edge of the forest, and soon saw tens of thousands of soldiers in silver armor on the plain where green and yellow met, marching in an array like a whole iron plate. In the array, they held high
The golden flag of the king showed that those who came were the military soldiers of Guan Ning from Wei Liang. Opposite them was the military guard army guarding the capital.
This discovery made the young man feel quite surprised, but he was also secretly grateful - what was surprising was that the warriors of Guan Ning, who had once defeated Tie Zhongshan and severely damaged the Muyun tribe, could now challenge the imperial power of Da Sheng, whom they had sworn to defend to the death.
The soldiers were facing each other. Fortunately, if I had set out later this time, I might have run into these two armies head-on and faced an inevitable bloody battle.
At the moment, he is not afraid of confrontation with the enemy, but he knows in his heart that by going south this time, he is betting on the fate of the entire grassland. Before Ning Yue's whereabouts have not yet been discovered, he must keep a low profile no matter what. Otherwise, he will only use his subordinates to fight with the enemy.
Ten thousand cavalry, even if all of them are as good as ten, will never be able to hold on for too long under the imperial city of the Great Sheng Dynasty.
On the battlefield outside the forest, accompanied by the loud shouts of killing, the two opposing forces collided head-on, but the battle was evenly matched. For a moment, on the black soil of the plateau before Longshou crossed, it seemed like a real scene.
There are two turbulent rivers, one clear and one turbid, meeting together, but they are as distinct as a chasm.
The charging guards who raised their shields forward were the first to encounter the vanguard of the soldiers. The seemingly unbreakable defense line had just defied three rounds of intensive volleys launched by the Weiliang formation a moment ago. The huge shields were now as dense as hedgehogs.
The ground was filled with arrows. The same scene was seen in the Weiliang formation, which was only a few dozen steps away from them.
In the blink of an eye, the long spear protruding from behind the giant shield looked like two monsters with countless sharp teeth, fighting and biting each other, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere.
This formation of the Yujing Military Guard was derived from the Guanning Warriors who defeated Tiechhong Mountain. Sixty years ago, Luqiu Borong's grandfather, Luqiu Dezong, had to grant the Queyue Formation to Emperor Huan Baijiang in order to retain the military power of the Guanning Warriors.
Lin Ran also regretted it and died in depression.
However, he still left something for his descendants. The so-called Queyue Formation is a small team of three soldiers, one person in each group holds a bow, one person holds a shield, and one person wields a spear, and then hundreds or thousands
The essence of such a small team is to defend each other and form an arc-shaped formation like a crescent moon.
However, this formation has another layer of change during the attack, which is called the Moon Wheel Formation. In this formation, every three hundred people will be divided into a team, and one hundred people in the team will hold their shields overhead, forming an airtight round iron
Then use a hundred men to hold spears and poke out from the gaps in the surrounding shields to defend against the enemy. Finally, use a hundred archers to shoot from a long distance when the shields in the center of the formation are opened. The giant wheel thus formed is as dense as an iron barrel and can advance and retreat in all directions.
, can attack from a distance or engage in close combat, consuming the opponent's physical strength until the enemy's formation collapses.
During the Shuodi Rebellion, they faced barbarian cavalry. Therefore, Guan Ning's soldiers only used the semicircular moon formation to defend and attack. The more powerful moon wheel formation had never been used in front of others. Since then,
Since then, this formation has become a closely guarded secret in the Wei-Liang Army.
At this time, only a drumbeat of three long and two short could be heard from the formation. The vanguard of the soldiers who were originally advancing in the Queyue Formation suddenly changed their formation and started spinning on the battlefield like a giant wheel of wind and fire, advancing at a faster speed than before.
Faster.
Seeing this situation, the Yujing Wuwei on the opposite side couldn't help but be shocked, but they didn't know how to solve it, so they had to grit their teeth and face it head-on. However, the sergeants in the formation were all facing the enemy head-on, and could not get any respite. On the other hand, the Wei Liang formation
Everyone was relaxed, and the intensity of the attack did not decrease at all. With just one stick of incense, the Zhechong guards were exhausted, and they no longer had the strength to raise their shields for defense. They were left with the only option of holding their necks and waiting to be killed.
Wuwei and Xiaoqi, who followed closely behind, saw that the front army was defeated, and they quickly followed suit and tried to imitate the warriors in changing their formations. However, the Moon Wheel Formation emphasized a high degree of consistent cooperation, not long-term coordination.
The training failed to form a formation. Wuwei and Xiaoqi realized that something was wrong after changing to the two-guard formation halfway. They hurriedly ordered to change back again, but they couldn't help it anymore and made a mess.
Guan Ning's soldiers no longer gave their opponents a chance to continue struggling. The tall soldiers seemed to have transformed into a group of ferocious and bone-gnawing bears in the Tongyan Mountains. Wherever they passed, no one in the enemy formation could
He was alive, leaving only his severed head and stumps, his stomach broken and his intestines broken.
In just half an hour, the Wei-Liang Army was chasing behind thousands of Yujing Wuwei who were defeated and fled, and continued to march north. The shouts of the victors and the screams of the losers gradually faded away, but Jiang Yan suddenly heard
From a corner of the Red Flame Army's camp behind them, the sounds of swordsmen clashing could be faintly heard.
Meng Dun on the side saw the young man frowning, and before he could ask a question, he stepped forward as if he had been waiting for a long time:
"Qi Hehan reported that a southern army of unknown origin broke into the forest to the east. It seemed to have escaped from Longshoudu. It has now engaged the right army, but the battle was not very fierce, so it was not in time.
Report."
"Another southern army with unknown origin? Is it a scout sent by the main force of Wei Liang to explore the way?"
Jiang Yan felt that things were not that simple, so he continued to ask.
Meng Dun shook his head and said: "The other party is wearing black heavy armor. He looks a bit like a boat master from the Ye Kingdom, but the armor style is a little different, and there is no Sea Falcon flag."
"Ye Guojun is also here? Could it be that Qi Shouyu also wants to take this opportunity to get a share of the dying Da Shengchao? Shameless!"
When he found out that it was actually Ye Guo's army, Jiang Yan immediately became furious.
The contacts between Yanluoyuan and the Central Plains were not close to begin with, and the battle with Yubei a few days ago exacerbated the lack of news. At this time, the young Hehan did not know that Qi Shouyu had died, and that the current Ye State was He respected Qi Ziyin and ascended the throne as king. What he didn't even know was that the Ye army that appeared in the forest was led by his old friend.
The so-called enemies are extremely jealous when they meet. Even after many years, when he thought of Xiang Baili's tragic death on the execution ground that day and the endless concern for his friends in his heart, the anger in young Hehan's heart was instantly ignited. Without saying a word, he took out his Xiao Tianmo, raised his arms, and personally led the Red Flame Army to attack.
Qi Ziyin didn't know that the leader of the Di people he was facing was the dark-eyed boy he had been searching for for many years. At this time, he had just used the complex terrain in the forest to withstand a wave of fierce attacks, but he saw more people... Barbarian warriors wearing red armor came in large numbers, realizing that the other party was determined to annihilate all the thousands of people under his command.
But even though he was in a desperate situation, the young man wearing the silver mask still had blood pulsing in his heart, convinced that he could survive, and a sentence suddenly rang in his mind:
"The good wind comes into the sky to help me, and I soar up to the top of the clouds."
This sentence is an aphorism from the sages who once taught Bailiyu the art of war to him many years ago. General Qingyi explained that marching to fight is like spreading your wings against the wind. If you insist on flying against the wind, even if you are as strong as Kunpeng , it is inevitable that you will lose your direction. And if you can follow the trend, even if you use less to defeat more, you may not be unable to win the final victory.
The young man had never thought that he would be so eager to continue living in this world, looking forward to living until the day he successfully found Ning Yue and rescued her. He turned his head and looked at Wei Liang Xianfeng who had gone far away in the north. Then he looked at the main force that was slowly moving out from Suoyang Pass. Suddenly he had an idea and shouted loudly to the soldiers behind him and ordered:
"Let's go! Leave the forest and lead all these barbarians to Suoyang Pass!"
Just as Long Shou was already being killed in the dark, on the official road not too far away from the battlefield, several figures on horseback were looking away, watching from a distance the billowing fire rising above the battlefield. Smoke and dust.
It was Kun Jie and his men who followed Wei Liang's army and successfully passed Suoyang Pass. Now the mounts under their crotches seemed a little afraid of the thick smell of blood that filled the air, snoring constantly, but they were The reins were tight and he could only tap his hooves impatiently on the ground.
When Kunjie saw this, he burst into laughter, raised his hand and patted the side of the horse's neck:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The more these people on land kill each other today, the more advantageous it will be to us! But I didn't expect that Luqiu Borong would strike first, forcing Gao Li to order the closure of the Suoyang Pass gate. , cut off all contact with the South."
Near him was a recently promoted law enforcement elder named Nie Sheng. He was originally a fire officer under Gao Li who had not been reused for many years, but he was spotted by Kun Jie when he entered the capital and has been rising steadily ever since.
Gao Sheng.
Seeing that Kun Jie was in a good mood, Nie Sheng also took over the conversation:
"I also never thought that the few words left in the courtyard of Weiliang by the first one would actually help us a lot by accident. Otherwise, the ruins of the ancestors in Qingying Mountain would have collapsed, and now the road to Suoyang Pass is like a
It’s also completely closed, and I won’t be able to go north again after a while.”
Unexpectedly, when Kun Jie heard this, his face suddenly turned serious:
"Do you really think that the files left in the Jingshu City Courtyard were not burned because I left in a hurry? Are you that stupid?"
"The first seat means——"
Nie Sheng was suddenly startled. He seemed to have thought of something in his mind and did not dare to guess easily.
"If we burn all the files containing the firebolt and blunderbuss and leave no sweet spot for Luqiu Borong, how can we make it difficult for him to let go of the power of his ancestors who are so powerful?"
Kun Jie laughed again, as if he had forgotten his unhappiness in an instant, "The more you can't get something, the more you want to hold it firmly in your hands. What's more, even your enemies have already mastered the weapon.
, with her temperament, Lu Qiu Borong, how can she tolerate herself being at a disadvantage?"
"These land-based princes and kings have already been seen through by the leader! So, those bat kite-making methods were also deliberately left to the other side? You - you have already calculated that Gao Li will order the closure of Suoyang Pass?"
While patting the horse, Nie Sheng couldn't help but raise a new question.
"It's not that I have planned it in advance. But since I have given the secret of the fire bolt gun to Gao Li, I can't give Wei Liang the same weapon again. Otherwise, after the two sides fight in front of the battle, they will definitely become suspicious.
If all the focus falls on us, wouldn't it be a big deal?"
Kun Jie shook his head and changed the topic, "But now, Wei Liang has opened the way to the north for us, and those things that have been prepared for a long time can finally be put to use. By then, those who have been able to fight until now will
The people on land who fight to the death will find that no matter who among them wins, they will no longer be able to escape the fate of being swallowed by death!"
As he spoke, he paused and turned his gaze to the distant imperial city that had stood on this plateau for thousands of years:
"On the other hand, regarding the Suoyang Pass thoroughfare being cut off, I am also planning to go to the city to meet with our deacon again. I want to hear his order that hinders our clan's plans. Do you have any other better explanations?
