@@"General, General Guo will be defeated at the first touch. The rebel army is so powerful, why not hold on to the camp?"
Seeing the torch blazing, the general Wang Yu suddenly stepped forward, took the reins of the coach Xue Changxiong's horse and spoke.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Fight!"
Wang Yu did not dare to say anything, so he could only let go and make preparations in a hurry.
After a while, the army camp also stood up, and the gates were opened. Then, tens of thousands of the main army troops poured out, but it was a typical crane-wing formation.
In comparison, the oncoming army, which was only three or four miles away, was naturally a typical front-line formation.
But in fact, neither side was deliberately arranging the formation, it was just a naturally formed formation due to the convenience of marching.
Murong Zhengyan was ordered to send half of the spiritual masters who were more than half of the Qijing practitioners in his headquarters to the central army. After returning to the main formation, he met the deputy general, Murong Huailian, who was also his clan brother, and several close followers. After standing on the horse for a while to observe, he couldn't help but feel uneasy:
"With such a formation, I'm afraid the winner will be decided in just one morning! Either we will defeat the first ten battalions of the rebel army and the flanking reinforcements, and have a grand victory that rolls back the bead curtain, or they will
We gritted our teeth and withstood, and the subsequent heavy troops surged in, making us frustrated across the board and unable to support... Therefore, when the fight starts later, there is no need to leave any room, and we must do our best."
The lieutenants and cronies all agreed, but Murong Huailian couldn't help but ask: "If this is the case, can't you retreat to the camp and hold on after being frustrated?"
"No!" Murong Zhengyan explained seriously. One is that our camp was built hastily and does not have sufficient defense facilities. The other is that our camp is mostly composed of civilians and auxiliary soldiers, with only a few county soldiers. Not only can it not stop the soldiers
, on the contrary, after the defeat, the whole line was shaken, leading to collapse."
The faces of the people around him became tense, but they did not dare to refute him in any way.
"Old Seventh, Old Sixth." Under the commander's banner in the center of the military formation, Xue Changxiong glanced at his youngest son Xue Wanquan and sixth son Xue Wancheng. He obviously struggled for a while, but still gritted his teeth. "Now that things have happened, the three of us, father and son, must
Work together... You two could and should have one person staying in the camp as a backup, but no matter who goes, it will only make you brothers angry. It makes it even more obvious that our father and son have spared their efforts on the spot to let the various departments behind us work hard.
The martial arts masters sent here are dissatisfied... Therefore, in this battle, you two brothers will serve as my base and as the two wings of our army, we are bound by life and death!"
The two brothers immediately bowed down and said yes, but couldn't help but look at each other, and then each of them had a sudden thought in their hearts - they all knew what their father meant. This battle was really dangerous, otherwise why would they say such things?
Seeing that his two sons understood each other, Xue Changxiong no longer had any hesitation. Instead, he clenched the straight knife in his hand and rode straight to the military formation three miles away... As he had announced before, as the commander-in-chief,
Charge at the forefront of the military formation and move forward indomitably.
When the commanders of the surrounding military formations saw the commander's banner moving ahead, they all had their own thoughts. At this time, they couldn't help but feel a little excited. The troops and horses of each unit also activated their troops and moved forward to greet him.
Of course, the army was also led by leaders wearing short black and white cloaks, marching northward without stopping, but they didn't even bother to engage in scouting battles.
The sun rises from the east, and the huge military formations of both sides face each other from the north to the south in the plains. They are fair and impartial, and even the sunshine does not favor anyone.
Probably both sides have realized the tragic consequences of the collision of huge military formations, so in the last distance, the coaches of both sides unanimously chose to use their respective flags to slightly suppress the speed. But the distance is more than three miles apart.
, it’s really not enough to see. It seems that in just a moment, the two sides have already approached a very dangerous distance.
At this time, neither Xue Changxiong nor Zhang Xing seemed to be able to control the huge inertia of the military formations of both sides. However, it is also possible that both sides did not want to stop the military formations at all, so they accelerated somewhat.
Everyone thought that the beginning of this battle was another collision between two great Qi formations that had fought against each other three times.
Everyone guessed right, but everyone guessed wrong.
Both sides are far apart
At a distance of several hundred steps, the Zhenqi military formation had not yet appeared. Suddenly, a golden light flashed through the air toward the southeast side of the army, coming straight to the front. This was not conspicuous in the middle of the huge military formation, and only a few people noticed it.
Everyone also guessed that with such extreme speed and obvious brilliance, it was probably the Heavenly Sword Bai Sanniang who was meeting the army in front of the army... This is what Xue Changxiong thought.
However, within a few breaths, that typical trace of glowing true energy suddenly turned around a little in front of the formation of both sides, flying very high and far in the air, and actually came straight towards Xue Changxiong's commanding flag, and it was almost just
Within a few breaths, there was no time to observe or react. A strip of glowing Qi, several feet wide, suddenly appeared in mid-air. Then, it came down from above, brushed Xue Changxiong's head, and swept down the handsome flag behind him.
Xue Changxiong hurriedly circulated his true energy, and with just one move of the straight knife in his hand, three feet above his head, a golden sword that was two to three feet long and seemed to be solid was born out of thin air. However, the golden sword had no time to move, and then
He was struck by the oncoming golden light and dissipated on the spot.
Bai Yousi, who was wearing leather armor, a warrior's crown, and a white cloak, missed his attack. Instead, he turned around a little and leaped towards the military formation due south. He did not forget to laugh in front of the battle: "General Manager Xue's status as a master is indeed
Nothing more than that!"
Come and go, hit and laugh, giving no time for reaction at all.
Xue Changxiong was an expert, and he was panic-stricken in his heart. He completely understood why the Youzhou Army collapsed overnight, but he didn't show it on his face at all. Instead, he laughed out loud.
"Today, let me discipline this junior on behalf of Brother Bai, and smash your Heavenly Sword!"
As he spoke, his body was filled with zhenqi. In the morning sunshine of early spring, a big sun formed on the ground, complementing the sun that had just risen in the distance. And a golden sword that was several feet long and looked like a substance was easily regenerated.
in the air.
The Qijing masters from various tribes gathered for the first time behind them obviously lacked the experience to form such a large formation, but when they saw this posture, they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs run away, and they all temporarily released their true energy and joined in.
At this time, under the banner with the word "Deposed" on the red background, Zhang Xing's zhenqi was already flowing non-stop. He first condensed into a formation, then suddenly increased his speed, grabbed a breath, and collided first!
Bai Yousi came towards him, but he didn't dare to enter the formation directly. Instead, he ducked and then pursued him from the side.
As soon as he entered the formation, Zhang Dalongtou clearly noticed that the true energy in the formation was surging, and it improved significantly. However, he became more confident and rushed forward directly. When he came to the large glow formation on the opposite side, there was a purple light with the word "deposed" rolled up.
Flag, and threw it at the infuriating formation on the opposite side.
Xue Changxiong also slashed out the golden sword.
Next, two great formations of true energy collided face to face. The golden swords against the purple flags were like thunder on the ground or thunderbolts in the sky. But to the people around them, it was more like two huge bronze bells suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield ahead.
It's like they bumped into each other.
After the collision, the true energy escaped and rolled away in all directions like waves, and the entire battlefield suddenly became neighing.
The two groups of people inside the bell jar were each dizzy, and the jaws of the tiger were violent. Some of the unlucky Qijing masters even suffered bleeding from their orifices on the spot, fell off their horses and died, and countless others lost control of their horses and howled.
The entire battlefield was inexplicably quiet for a while, but the next moment, as if he had received a signal, the armies on both sides immediately erupted into loud shouts of killing. The two army formations, which were many times larger than the Zhenqi army formation, looked like monsters.
They generally howled and collided with each other.
The formations of both sides are tight and vary in width.
The first ones were naturally the Zhang Xing headquarters led by Wang Xiongdan from the Jia Yue and Zhou Xingfan battalions. Most of those who ran into them were the remnants of the headquarters that Xue Changxiong divided between his two sons, totaling 3,000 officers and soldiers, but there were also some
The small part is Wang Yu and Feng Duan on both sides.
Among them, Jia Yue lived in the west and bumped into Xue Wanquan and Wang Yu; Xiao Zhou lived in the east and bumped into Xue Wancheng and Feng Duan.
Immediately, further to the east, Wang Zhen, who had arrived first and led 5,000 Dengzhou troops, met Zhonglang General Dou Pi's nearly 3,000 men face to face, but they were far apart.
The fighting broke out in full force.
In the chaos, in the chilly formation, Zhang Xing, holding the unsheathed Jinglong Sword, reined in his horse on the instantly hardened soil and turned around. His eyes swept across the battlefield, and he watched as he was thrown to the south after a collision.
side
The golden zhenqi army formation behind them had a stern expression.
Moreover, Zhang Xing knew from the first time he collided with the opponent that Xue Changxiong was a half-baked grandmaster who had just entered the grandmaster stage and could not achieve the legendary unification of the Chinese army formation. Therefore, in such a large-scale battle,
Next, the other party, like myself, will inevitably make choices due to the conflict between the practice system and the command system.
In other words, in order to ensure smooth command of the troops, theoretically the infuriating military formations of both sides should be greatly weakened compared to the previous times.
But in fact, both sides actually maintained their previous power.
Here at Zhang Xing, there are more replacements for masters such as Bai Yousi, Wu Jingfeng, Xu Shiren, Chen Bin, Qian Tang. As for Xue Changxiong, I thought he had detached half of his troops, plus Chen Bin and Wang Fubei defected.
In addition, most of his Zhenqi formations are high-level commanders. This time, the Zhenqi army formation is likely to drop by more than one level. But I didn't expect that the opponent would actually bottom out when faced with a life-and-death battle.
He successfully mobilized the practitioner resources of his military leaders and continued to forcibly maintain a military formation.
Of course, Zhang Dalongtou is not nervous or afraid of this, because one thing is a trade-off, and since Xue Changxiong has removed these people who are usually unable to be deployed, it means that the combat effectiveness of his troops will decline accordingly.
It's just that the balance of victory relies more on the outcome of large-scale troop battles, and at this point, the army still has the advantage.
The reason why he looked so grim was that he realized through this action that Xue Changxiong was not completely overwhelmed by the army's unexpected full-line attack. He still had a strong desire to survive and chose the right target in time.
Tactically, allocate combat resources as much as possible to continue pursuing possible victory.
In this battle, we still need to fight hard, and we also need to seize the opportunity before the battle.
"Zhang Longtou."
At this moment, Chen Bin, who had been observing the surrounding situation, suddenly stepped forward on his horse and pointed at a black general flag with the word "王" on a white border not far to the west and an obvious force behind it that was heading south and trying to outflank it.
The formation of Jia Yue's official army may be the result of the collision just now. His fingers were trembling slightly. "If possible, we might as well find an opportunity to capture this army first."
"How do you say that?" Zhang Xing asked, glancing over there.
"According to the number of people and the arrangement of the army, over there should be Zhonglang General Wang Yu and his troops." Chen Bin seriously added. "This person has always been in the same position as me in the army, and acted similarly, but he is not as good as me in everything. Now
I abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and he must have been the most severely shaken. In addition, this person has always been slippery, and his troops are not very focused. His troops are also considered to be the weaker ones among all the troops... To defeat his troops, use the Zhenqi Formation.
The soldiers who beat him were crippled, and he was probably the first to waver and flee."
The expressions of the people around them were obviously different. Qian Tang, Jia Runshi, and some lower-level guardians nodded almost instinctively, but Wu Jingfeng, Xiong Bonan, and some of the gang elites with higher levels of cultivation obviously nodded.
There was some hesitation and he seemed to disagree.
After Zhang Xing suddenly realized, he did not hesitate and replied in public: "You can beat him, but not now! Now the officers and soldiers obviously have enough breath to hold on, and they may not be able to escape. Let's have a good fight with Xue Changxiong's golden sword first.
, bring out the momentum and tell the entire battlefield that their best hope is nothing more than this. When the war gets intense, start with Wang Yu and try to defeat their army!"
"Okay!" Wu Jingfeng was overjoyed. This is how he should be beaten!"
Chen Bin also nodded.
Bai Yousi, on the other hand, pointed his sword at the activated Glow Army Formation in the distance and turned around with a smile: "I am a master, what if the fight continues endlessly? Saburo must have a number, how many blows are you going to make?"
"Nine swords!" Zhang Xing blurted out. "Just follow the collision just now and do it eight more times! Regardless of victory or defeat, we will turn to slaughter the large army of officers and soldiers!"
This answer temporarily allowed everyone to reach unity on the surface, so everyone in the Zhenqi army responded in unison, and then cheered up again. The Zhenqi slowly circulated, then rose and fell like a tide, forming one body and heading towards each other.
The surrounding soldiers were already engaged on all fronts. But just after the battle, they were fiercely attacked by their respective commanders. There were many brave, united, and meticulous people among them. But when they saw this scene, they all threw away all thoughts as if they had seen a ghost and hid in a hurry.
avoid.
But it's still not fast enough.
Another collision like a real dragon on the mountain, and another golden knife flew out, but this time the one who attacked in the military formation was Wu Jingfeng. His light yellow zhenqi brought up countless dust and debris, rolling it into a yellow
The dragon scroll and the golden sword died together.
Many soldiers of the two soldiers who had no time to escape were directly shocked to death on the spot, and wailing sounds also sounded.
Not to mention, after the collision, the true energy escaped, and the falling debris and dust mixed with the true energy waves, scattering to the surrounding area of nearly a hundred steps, like a gray rain of debris.
There is even a slight red color.
This is the violent transformation of true energy, and it is the most common and most developed application of the so-called heaven and earth energy in this world.
If Zhang Xing could stay out of the matter, he would definitely be filled with emotion, and he would definitely try to imagine that a master-level master like Niu Dugong, who has truly mastered the skills and abilities of externalizing Qi, could use the pills to condense the pills one level at a time.
What kind of state will it be like if the true energy formation and the military formation are completely integrated?
However, he was in it and had no time to think about it. He just tried his best to calm down the ups and downs of his heart, try his best to check the casualties and check the situation on the front. At this time, Fu Boshi, Shang Huaien, and Wang Fubei were about to join the battle.
Already.
He was a little worried about the outcome of the upcoming battle, because each of the three armies had their own opinions.
Fu Boshi's battalion retained a group of elite Huaixi soldiers he brought, all equipped with long swords and spears, and their combat capabilities were very outstanding; at the same time, although Shang Huai'en's battalion was the same as the others, they were the backbone of the army.
His subordinates, but as the commander-in-chief, he himself is a general with extremely poor cultivation and low level. Just because his brother was the first gang leader to die in battle, he himself has always obeyed, and his subordinates are also recognized as direct subordinates.
This is what happened here.
There is also Wang Fubei. There is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of Wang Fubei's troops. We have seen it a few days ago, but he is a surrender. The people who just surrendered last night were only forced to surrender because they were determined to do so.
If you catch up, who knows if you will work hard?
In short, the combat power of the three armies in the second round is obviously uneven and full of uncertainties. It is not clear how they will perform. Especially since they will face the first wave of encirclement by the official army.
Thinking back, Zhang Xing couldn't stop for much longer at this time, because Xue Changxiong on the opposite side had already taken the initiative to attack.
It feels like the coaches of both sides are allowing their entire armies to attack each other while counting their horses and trying to find a winner.
However, this kind of round consumes too much and is too powerful.
Just as the third round between Xue Changxiong and Zhang San began, Zhonglang General Murong Zhengyan also began to lead his troops to formally engage in the battle. However, when he saw his troops crossing Feng Duanbu and trying to surround Shang Huai'en's troops, the east side
Wang Fubei was obviously turning to attack from a flank, and his men could not help but worry. After leaving the command to his clan brother Murong Huailian so that the latter could concentrate on dealing with Shang Huai'en, he personally rode his horse to the east to find Wang Fubei's explanation.
Both parties knew each other well and relied on their own cultivation, so they didn't have any scruples. They approached each other dozens of steps away before talking to each other from a distance.
"General Wang, your position is very important. If you can come back at this time, you will be able to surround the Dengzhou reinforcements with General Dou and General Feng. Not to mention destroying this tired army by then, you will take advantage of the situation to overthrow the thieves.
It's possible
For such a great achievement, even the general will only praise you, and only say that you are pretending to surrender...why do you really want to be a thief?" Murong Zhengyan said so sincerely. This is the luck given to you by the Three Glory and the Four Emperors!"
"General Murong, are you kidding me?" Wang Fubei was extremely speechless. I won't say that they directly promised me the position of leader last night, so I don't want to go over it again. I only want to say that on the official and military side, even a martial artist like me is the best.
I know that once this kind of thing is done, there will be resentment, and it can no longer be tolerated... If the Xue family and his son are thoughtful, it is not impossible, but if they are thoughtful, although you are from a famous family, you are also a native of Hebei, so
Don’t you know?”
Murong Zhengyan was speechless and could only persuade him again: "General Wang! We are all Paoze. We fought side by side the day before yesterday. Now, just one day later, are you going to fight with each other?"
Wang Fubei felt very sad when he heard this.
But at this moment, the two too dazzling light arrays in the northwest once again roared.
The thunder made the ground tremble and the men and horses neighed. Wang Fubei took the opportunity to cheer up and answered seriously: "Now that things have come to this point, it is no longer useful to say this! General Murong, I want to take care of you during these two years and not come to attack from a flank."
You are... But you, please don't boast that your family has been in trouble and show off. In this kind of battle, you are a master of Chengdan, and life and death are not enough... Live well, everything is still possible, don't do it for Xue Changxiong
That kind of person ruins his own life!"
With that said, Wang Fubei only waved his hand in the military formation, and the troops followed him to the northeast and met Wang Changxie's troops further east.
Murong Zhengyan stood there and stared for a moment. Although he obviously solved the crisis of being flanked by opening his mouth, he became a little panicked.
But on the battlefield, there is no room for random thoughts.
Soon, a huge one-character flag loomed in the south due to the billowing smoke. There was also a general wearing a white short cloak, complete armor, waving a long spear, leading dozens of cavalry to gallop out of the smoke in advance, far away.
Just drink:
"Help chief, Dan Dalang from the Eastern Territory Dantonghai is here! Is there anyone brave enough in the army?"
Murong Zhengyan was already frightened when he saw that the rebel army was supporting them so quickly, and everyone was rushing to be the first. Now he heard that it was a well-known rebel, and he sighed deeply, but he could only follow the example of Dou Pi and lead a group of personal guards to meet him and fight.
Use your own cultivation to provide one-sided cover for your own troops.
"Wang Fubei played a trick! Both Fu Boshi and Shang Huai'en resisted... No, it was Shang Huai'en who resisted, and Fu Boshi kept it secret!" After the third round, Zhang Xing couldn't help but
He jumped up in person, took a look at the situation, and then with just one glance, he knew that the situation had changed.
But he only kept these words in his heart. As soon as they fell, his face did not change and he immediately ordered: "Hurry up and organize the military formation. This time we will attack first... Chief Xu, it is your turn to attack!"
Xu Shiren quickly agreed.
At the same time, dozens of miles southwest of the battlefield, at the east end of Douzigang, Xue Changxiong's third son, Xue Wannian, turned pale and asked again: "Fourth, are you sure you want to continue passing through Douzigang to attack? In case of an ambush,
how?"
"If you are ambushed, fight with all your strength!" Xue Wanbi replied coldly. "Commander Father will definitely take the opportunity to attack the bandits' camp. It's just a matter of who can hold on!"
Saying that, he took the lead and walked forward into Beuzi Mound, which was full of salt swamps and low hills.
Zhonglang General Gao Zhan raised his head and sighed, and could only follow.
The second one to follow was Cao Shancheng.
Although Xue Wannian was more honest, he couldn't help but step forward on his horse and tugged on the opponent's sleeve to complain: "Mr. Cao Fu, what plan did you propose?!"
Unexpectedly, Cao Shancheng got angry on the spot and said: "If the general had listened to my plan, why would we be here today?! How could we let the thieves take the initiative?!"
Xue Wannian was startled by the scolding and was even a little dazed. After a while, he followed the queue and walked in.
On the main battlefield on the southeast side of the Ma Mian River, the war progressed faster than Zhang Xing imagined, because although the battalions of the army behind him had different performances, different combat strengths, and different battle losses, they were advancing faster and engaging in battles.
In terms of speed, there is currently no ambiguity.
This resulted in the front being rapidly widened, and the army's strength advantage began to emerge.
Therefore, as the fourth round ended, Zhang Xing hesitated for a moment, and then made a suggestion: "Next round, I want the four Chengdans in the formation to attack together!"
Everyone's spirits were lifted.
But immediately, Bai Yousi became serious: "Then can you hold on?"
"You can hold on!" Zhang Xing immediately laughed to see if he could knock out two of the old dog's teeth! Besides, isn't the best defense the best defense?"
Three hundred steps away, Xue Changxiong looked at the gray-white Zhenqi army formation on the opposite side. Hearing the shouts of killing in his ears, he couldn't help but gasp through his mouth.
PS: Regarding the free thing...don't worry, it's the wave from 4th to 10th.
