The ground shook, and the front of the torrent of iron armor from the Great Zhou Dynasty mobilized instantly. One by one, the heavy armored infantrymen calmly took out their thick-backed swords and stood at the front of the army without fear.
Thousand steps, a hundred steps, fifty steps, ten steps, five steps, three steps...
Just when the golden-toed fireworks and white-bone beasts were about to rush into the Zhou army's formation, these heavy armored infantry shouted low and rushed forward with swords in their strides. The thick-backed swords with a scarlet edge were raised high and struck down heavily.
Ouch!——
Amidst the bursts of miserable howls, thousands of golden-toed fireworks and white-bone beasts were decapitated by heavy armored infantry at the moment of contact. The huge momentum carried their beast bodies high into the air and threw them behind.
In the Zhou army's formation, dozens of halberds were fired before they landed. These ferocious beasts turned into pieces before they even landed.
"kill!--"
Behind the beast tide, the torrent of steel from the Di tribe rolled in. Each of them had ferocious eyes and murderous intent.
"kill!--"
At the same time, the Zhou Dynasty's army also charged towards the Di tribe's army in a mighty manner.
Iron hooves flew, ferocious beasts hissed, and the vast land was filled with swords and swords. At the moment when the two armies met, countless figures were thrown up and then turned into dead bodies and fell down.
"The army obeys the order, Panlong Formation!"
Cao Xu's voice resounded above the captain's camp, and as he waved the command flag in his hand, the entire captain's camp moved, forming a dragon shape.
Rumbling, the huge sound was like an avalanche of ice. A group of thousands of people formed the Dihuang Iron Cavalry, charging towards them with a fierce wind like a sword.
During the sand table exercise, Fang Yun once controlled the Di tribe's side and was no longer unfamiliar with these Di tribe cavalry. However, the sand table simulation was not realistic enough after all. Only when he actually faced these Di tribe cavalry did Fang Yun feel that these foreign cavalry were
, a style of running like lightning and coming and going like the wind.
"kill!--"
With a roar, the entire phalanx formed by the captain's camp seemed like a dragon coming to life, rolling towards the cavalry, ready to swallow all the thousands of people.
Rumble!——
Iron hoofs flew, and there was a huge earthquake and roar. In the blink of an eye, another Dihuang Iron Cavalry rushed over from the other direction. Two Dihuang Iron Cavalry, one on the left and one on the right, were like two saw blades, cutting intertwinedly. In just a blink of an eye, immediately
A large number of figures were thrown up. The war horses and the momentum of the Di people made two transparent holes in the dragon formation formed by the captain's camp.
"Archery!"
When the army was ready to counterattack, these two Dihuang cavalry, with flying hooves, rushed out of an arc behind the Zhou army formation, and then ran out of the encirclement of the Zhou soldiers. Then they ran in other directions.
If you look down from the sky, you can immediately see that the Di tribe's army looks like chaotic arc blades, swirling on the ground. Occasionally, two arc blades are randomly combined to form a set of sharp saws.
The sword cut into pieces and divided the army formation at the front of the Zhou Dynasty.
"I don't know who the commander of Di Huang is! His arc-shaped attack route maximizes the advantages of the cavalry, allowing the charging power of the war horses to continue to accumulate. The farther you get to the back, the less it can hinder. And the war horses
The speed is extremely fast, which is in line with the principle of avoiding the real and attacking the weak in the art of war. In this way, the cavalry will not suffer much loss, but it can cause confusion to the opponent's army and inflict huge damage."
Fang Yun quickly saw the tactics of Commander Di Huang. This tactics had maximized the advantages of Di Huang's cavalry. Fang Yun asked himself, it was impossible to do better than him.
This type of cavalry warfare requires extremely high levels of control ability on the part of the commander. Likewise, it is almost incomprehensible.
Collapse! Collapse! Collapse!
The roar of a God-breaking crossbow filled the void, and hundreds of God-breaking crossbows roared out, destroying everything and shooting into Di Huang's army, forcing their way into the blood.
"Send the order, shoot the horse!"
"Send the order, shoot the horse!"
…
The orders from the highest level were passed down from level to level. In a short period of time, Marquis Zhongxin came up with a relatively effective response strategy. The principle of capturing the thief first, capturing the king, and shooting the man first, the horse, can always be used.
The most powerful thing about the Dihuang cavalry is their horses. Without the impact of the horses, a Dihuang soldier cannot defeat a Zhou infantry.
The horses of the Dihuang people were armed to the teeth. The damage caused by bows and arrows was also effective, but now, there was obviously no better way.
Hooves! Hooves!
The ground shook, and another iron cavalry flew in. In the captain's camp, Zhou Xin nocked a long arrow, and fired six arrows in unison. In the middle of the journey, there was a whoosh sound, and the six arrows separated and shot into the eyes of six Di Huang war horses.
Xiyuyu!
The long horses neighed, and the six war horses fell to the ground. The Di tribe on the horse was chopped into powder by the sword before they fell. Zhou Xin put his hand into the quiver, nocked it again, and shot out six more feather arrows!
At this moment, Zhou Xin was extremely calm, showing the demeanor of a general.
"Powerful Mahamudra!"
Fang Yun was suspended in the void, clapped his big hand, and the golden big handprint was like thunder, blasting into the enemy's cavalry. Dozens of Di people died instantly, and the remaining ten war horses were thrown high and fell to the ground. The knights on the horse were
, his neck crooked, and he died immediately.
The role of a strong martial artist becomes apparent at this time.
Cry! Cry!
The war horses rumbled, and another Dihuang cavalry rushed past. Fang Yun snorted coldly, waved his palms, and the Twelve Evil Sword Formation was launched into the wind. As soon as it swayed in the void, dark clouds immediately rolled in, wrapping these Dihuang cavalry into it.
Only bursts of hissing and shooting sounds were heard, and the war horses neighed and fell to the ground.
"Yan Yue Formation!"
Fang Yun blasted away more than a dozen of Dihuang's cavalry and ordered at the same time. The Yanyue Formation is also arranged in an arc shape. In this arc-cutting cavalry combat method, losses can be minimized.
The war was very fierce. During the whole process, Zhongxinhou and Xie Daoyun were like two clever players, using the sky and the earth as the chessboard and the soldiers as the chess pieces, killing each other quickly.
Woo!——
Until the evening, the two men retreated and retreated. It was not the first time that the two of them had fought against each other, and they had formed a tacit understanding with each other.
"Each battalion returns to rest and recuperate!"
When the order from above was conveyed, Fang Yun felt that even with his level of strength, he was about to collapse from exhaustion.
The battlefield is the place that consumes the most energy and tempers will. At this moment, Fang Yun deeply realized the meaning of this sentence.
That night, they set up camp and took a rest.
The next day, at dawn in the east, the two armies once again set up battle formations, still fighting. Fang Yun commanded the 3,000-strong school captain with all his strength, constantly changing the formations. At the same time, he used his powerful hand seals to coordinate with the formations and attack with all his strength.
.
The opponent's commander was too powerful. The Di cavalry was divided or combined. There were obviously hundreds of thousands of cavalry, but because of this cavalry fighting method, it gave people the impression of nearly a million troops. With the speed of Di Huang's war horses,
Two large Zhou phalanxes on a horizontal plane are often attacked simultaneously by a group of Dihuang's cavalry.
The casualty rate of soldiers in the Captain's Camp increased rapidly.
Fang Yun was secretly shocked. This enemy commander already knew the characteristics of Di Huang's horses very well. Di Huang's army of hundreds of thousands was like the sharpest meat grinder in the hands of this man.
Woo!——
In the evening of the next day, both sides once again offered money and retreated their troops.
"Captain Lin, do you know who the commander-in-chief of Di Huang is?"
When it was time to rest at night, Fang Yun finally asked.
Colonel Lin was a veteran. He had fought in the northwest for many years, but this time, his captain's battalion suffered heavy losses, with almost half of its troops killed in the battle. On the contrary, the reserve army led by Fang Yun suffered much less losses than he did.
The military respects the strong most, and after two days of life-and-death cooperation, Lieutenant Lin also developed a slight liking for Fang Yun.
"I served in the army in the northwest for ten years, during which time I went on expeditions with many princes of the imperial court. I also fought against the Di people led by the generals of Dihuang, the wise kings, and the Di Emperor. In all the wars, I was most afraid of encountering one
People command Di Huang’s army.”
"who?"
"The princess of the Di tribe, Ameiguai." Lieutenant Lin recalled for a while, with a palpitating look in his eyes: "This princess learned the art of war from somewhere. In her hands, the Di tribe's cavalry can perform to its full potential.
More than twice the lethality. Every time we encounter the troops commanded by her, the captain battalion led by me will suffer heavy losses."
"Amaiguai," Fang Yun's heart was shaken. He thought about what Feng Ninghou said before setting off, and thought thoughtfully in his mind: "This Ameiguai should be Xie Daoyun. Ordinary soldiers should not know that she has sneaked into the
The imperial court, the matter of participating in the imperial examination."
"The Marquis kept waking me up to be careful of this Ameiguai. I originally thought she was just a general led by Di Huang, but she turned out to be the commander-in-chief of the Di tribe's march south this time! - She is indeed the Tanhualang of the top three high schools.
!”
Fang Yun naturally knew that everything the princess had learned came from China. It was an orthodox military strategy that could not be orthodox. This Xie Daoyun was the top pick in high school back then, so her qualifications were definitely not bad. In addition, she had also visited the DPRK.
Many great scholars who are proficient in the art of war are equivalent to the great scholars in the imperial court who have become her teachers. It is strange that such a person can do no harm!
At the same time, in the camp of Marquis Zhongxin, the prince and Marquis Zhongxin were sitting opposite each other.
"This Xie Daoyun is really powerful, but it's a pity that she is not my Chinese-earth woman. Otherwise, I will definitely be included in the palace. With such a woman making suggestions, this camp will have an extra strong general, who will be even more powerful."
Prince Liu Xiu made no secret of his admiration and love for Xie Daoyun.
"I'm afraid the prince will be disappointed. In the past, this woman traveled to China to study. According to rumors, she had already developed a secret love for Li Yixuan, the number one master of Confucianism."
Marquis Zhongxin took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"It's him?"
A glimmer of light flashed across the prince's eyes, and a figure dressed in white as snow appeared in his mind. Li Yixuan was from Jixia Academy, and Jixia Academy was the spiritual holy place for scholars all over the world. This kind of place, even with the influence of the royal family,
Power is also limited.
In particular, Jixia Academy is the leader in moral justice in the world. If there is some news that his moral character is not good, the Emperor may even consider whether to establish a crown prince instead!
"Forget it, Marquis Zhongxin should talk about how to deal with those Di people tomorrow. The terrain of Dihuang is complicated. It is rare that the Di people rush out of the mountains and forests and fight us on the frontal battlefield. We must try our best to take this opportunity to hurt them.
of vitality!"
Prince Liu Xiudao.
Marquis Zhongxin frowned: "Xie Daoyun is really powerful. She traveled to the Central Plains and learned from the experts of many schools. In addition, over the years, she has been constantly fighting with various princes. Her military strategies have also absorbed the characteristics of each prince in our dynasty. Now, unless Wu Mu will fight in person, otherwise no one will be her opponent!"
"Is she that powerful?"
The prince felt that he had overestimated Xie Daoyun, but he didn't expect that this person was even more powerful than he thought. The prince was very good at martial arts, but in commanding an army, he was far inferior to Marquis Zhongxin. Since Marquis Zhongxin said this, naturally he wouldn't Something is wrong.
"Well, this woman is both civil and military. She has also been honed on the battlefield. It is not surprising that she is so powerful. - These days, our troop losses are at least half more than hers."
"Then shall we avoid fighting tomorrow?"
Hearing such a casualty rate, Prince Liu Xiu was also shocked. You must know that the man in front of him was Marquis Zhongxin, who was famous for his military strategy. If it were someone else, the casualties would be even greater.
"No. If we avoid the war, then the victory of this woman in charge of Di Huang's army will be defeated. In this way, from now on, Di Huang's command will probably be permanently established as Xie Daoyun. In that case, it will inevitably be a disaster for our great Zhou Dynasty. It’s a huge disaster.”
Marquis Zhongxin immediately rejected the prince's suggestion. As a commander, he often has to consider not only matters within the war, but also longer-term matters outside of the war.
Among the princes, the reason why he is good at military strategy is because he can see further than ordinary people. He is not just limited to pursuing unparalleled ability to command troops!
