There were indeed 50,000 barbarian troops attacking the border city. Standing on the city wall and looking down, I could see a sea of people, indistinguishable from one to another. The barbarian soldiers did not pay attention to cooperation with each other on the battlefield. They valued individual soldiers more.
In terms of combat capabilities, there is no formation to speak of when they are gathered together. From a distance, it looks like a large mess.
But it was the barbarian soldiers' unorganized fighting style that caused the Feng army to suffer greatly and suffered numerous casualties.
Qiu Zhen stood on the tower. Although he was calm on the surface, his heart was ups and downs. Strictly speaking, this was his first time taking charge, but he had to face such a strong opponent. To say he wasn't nervous would be a lie.
Standing with him were Xiao Muqing, who was promoted by Tang Yinxin, as well as the regimental commanders, captains of thousands and others from two regiments each.
Xiao Muqing is much calmer than Qiu Zhen. He is a veteran in the army, and he can also be called a veteran. He has seen too many big scenes. Although there are many barbarians in front of him, he has no fear in his heart.
Glancing at Qiu Zhen, who was expressionless but with deep eyes, Xiao Muqing took a step forward and said softly: "Master Qiu, the barbarians have arrived outside the city. If nothing goes wrong, the barbarians will soon send out people to call for formation. You
You need to make arrangements early!"
Qiu Zhen has been promoted by Tang Yin to the deputy county guard of Pingyuan County, in charge of military affairs. His position is much higher than Xiao Muqing. Even if he feels that he is hostile to her, Xiao Muqing is still very polite to Qiu Zhen.
"Siege the city?" Qiu Zhen, who had never fought against the barbarian soldiers, was very different. He turned around and asked: "The barbarian soldiers have just arrived and have not formed their formation yet. Are they just going to attack the city like a piece of scattered sand?"
In Qiu Zhen's view, formation is very important whether it is frontal combat or siege.
Xiao Muqing secretly smiled in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He nodded and said, "That's right, barbarian soldiers never follow rules when fighting!"
Qiu Zhen looked at Xiao Muqing suspiciously and said nothing more.
Soon, more than 50,000 barbarian soldiers gathered outside the border city. As Xiao Muqing said, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers were just standing together in disorder, with no formation at all. At this time, the barbarian soldiers in front moved to the left and right.
Separated, a burly man strode out from the crowd. This man was nearly two meters tall. He only wore an animal skin vest on his upper body, and leggings and combat boots made of pure steel below. He held a chain hammer in his hand.
The big man walked out of the barbarian camp and stopped a stone's throw away from the border city. Then he raised his head and shouted at the top of the city. The Feng army guarding the city couldn't understand what he was shouting, but they also understood.
He is calling for formation.
Qiu Zhen, who was on the tower, took a deep breath, turned around, looked at the generals behind him, and asked: "Who is willing to go out and fight the barbarian generals?" Before anyone could answer, he continued: "The first battle is here.
This is an important matter. If we can win, we can greatly destroy the morale of the barbarian soldiers, increase the prestige of our army, and also delay the barbarian soldiers from attacking the city!"
Hearing what he said, the captains who were a little timid at first became eager to try. If they could win the first battle, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement. No one would not want to strive for such a credit.
As soon as Qiu Zhen finished speaking, a captain under Gu Yue stepped forward, raised his hands and saluted: "Master Qiu, my subordinate Yu Dapeng is willing to go out of the city to meet the enemy general!"
Qiu Zhen didn't understand Yu Dapeng's strength. He turned to Gu Yue and asked for his opinion.
Yu Dapeng is the best among the ten commanders of the Fourth Corps. Even if his strength is not as good as that of Gu Yue, it is similar. It is up to him to test the strength of the enemy general first, and Gu Yue also feels that it is very suitable. He smiled slightly at Qiu Zhen
He nodded, indicating that it was okay because Dapeng went to fight.
Seeing Gu Yue's approval, Qiu Zhen stopped thinking about it and nodded in response: "Commander Yu, I'll leave the first battle to you!"
Yu Dapeng was overjoyed, stepped in to take the order, turned around and walked away quickly.
After getting off the city wall, he asked the defenders guarding the city gate to open the city gate through a gap, and then rushed out on horseback.
Being unable to speak the language of the barbarians, Yu Dapeng galloped forward and rushed to the barbarians. He didn't even say hello, but with a shake of his hand, he shot the barbarian straight into his throat.
Although General Man was tall and burly, his movements were extremely flexible. He was slightly sideways and easily avoided the sharp edges. When Yu Dapeng rode his horse and passed by him, General Man also shook off the chain hammer in his hand.
Go out and take it straight to the back of Dapeng.
It sounds slow, but in fact it is extremely fast. When Yu Dapeng realized that something was wrong, the opponent's hammer had already flown closer.
With no time to dodge, and no time to use his gun to parry, Yu Dapeng instinctively released his spiritual energy and covered his spiritual armor, intending to use his spiritual armor to protect his body and deflect the opponent's fatal blow.
There was only a crisp sound in the ear, and the palm-sized solid hammer hit the spiritual armor behind Dapeng. The spiritual armor was able to withstand this powerful and heavy blow, but it could not remove the impact of the hammer.
Huge impact.
Yu Dapeng screamed and leaned forward uncontrollably. He couldn't sit still on the horse and fell directly from the horse. With a muffled thump, his body fell heavily to the ground.
The earthquake caused dust to fly.
The barbarian general sneered, and rushed towards Yu Dapeng in two large steps. Before the latter could stand up from the ground, the hammer in his hand came out again, but it was not to attack Yu Dapeng, but to attack Yu Dapeng with clever force.
Let the iron chain of the chain hammer wrap around Dapeng's neck, and then pull it back violently. Yu Dapeng received the force, and his head tilted back involuntarily. He wanted to break free of the iron chain, but the iron chain injected with spiritual energy was extremely tough.
, no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free at all. Instead, it became tighter and tighter. Even the spiritual armor around his neck was deformed and deeply dented.
Not long after, Yu Dapeng had difficulty breathing and his struggle became weaker and weaker.
Who would have thought that the commander of thousands, who was most valued by Gu Yue, went to the battlefield and fell into such a miserable situation without even blocking a single move from the enemy. For a moment, the walls of the border city were silent, and people watched Yu Dapeng's life being destroyed by the barbarian general.
A little bit of it is lost in my hand, but there is nothing I can do about it.
On the other hand, cheers arose from the barbarian soldiers. Tens of thousands of barbarians looked like savages, holding their weapons high and waving them wildly. Their howls were shocking to the soul.
Silent on one side and calling on the other, the two sides on the battlefield formed a sharp contrast.
The barbarian general dragged the dying Yu Dapeng and walked a few more steps towards the city. Then he raised his head provocatively and laughed at the Fengjun on the city. He grabbed the chain and hammered the iron on the other end.
The cone stabbed fiercely at the back of Dapeng's head.
Click!
The iron cone was so sharp that it instantly shattered the spiritual armor and penetrated deeply into Dapeng's brain. The latter didn't even say a word and died on the spot.
After killing Yu Dapeng, the barbarian general laughed three times again, and then swung the chain in his hand. Without seeing how hard he used it, Yu Dapeng's body flew into the air and fell far away in front of the gate of the border city.
.
"ah?"
Seeing this, there was a sound of exclamations and gasps on the walls of the border city. The living people who were alive and kicking a moment ago turned into cold corpses in the blink of an eye. The cruelty and unpredictability on the battlefield stimulated the hearts of every Fengjun.
at.
On the tower, Qiu Zhen's face was ugly, and Gu Yue's face was even more ugly. One was because he was rude in the first battle, and the other was because he felt sorry for Dapeng. The commander he valued most was brutally killed by the enemy. Guyue was anxious and angry.
, my heart is on fire.
Guyue was the first to break the silence. He strode forward, walked directly behind Qiu Zhen, and said in a deep voice: "Master Qiu, let me fight!"
"This..." Qiu Zhen came back to his senses and looked at Guyue, whose eyes were about to burst into flames. He shook his head secretly. He knew Guyue's strength very well. Even if Guyue was stronger than Yu Dapeng, he was not much stronger.
However, the opponent defeated Yu Dapeng with just one move and asked Gu Yue to fight, but he probably died in vain.
Seeing Qiu Zhen's face filled with embarrassment and not replying for a long time, Gu Yue, no matter how upright he was, could understand his concerns. He took a deep breath and said seriously: "Master Qiu, my subordinates are going to fight. If you can't win, please raise your head and see you later!"
If it were anyone else, Qiu Zhen wouldn't have so many worries, but Gu Yue was different. He was one of the first confidants to follow Tang Yin, and he had a close personal relationship with Qiu Zhen. Furthermore, if Gu Yue really had a problem, how could he tell Tang Yin?
Explain?!
When Qiu Zhen was in trouble, someone in the crowd suddenly said: "Master Qiu, let me go out and fight the barbarian general!"
I really didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to challenge at this time. Everyone present looked around and saw that the person speaking was none other than Jiang Mo, one of the dark spiritual cultivators who had just taken refuge with Tang Yin.
Qiu Zhen was refreshed and asked, "Jiang Mo, are you sure of winning?"
Jiang Mo smiled faintly, shrugged nonchalantly and said: "The battlefield is unpredictable and changes rapidly. No one can be sure of victory. However, I feel that even if I cannot defeat the opponent, at least I will not lose too badly."
Qiu Zhen pondered for a moment, looked at Jiang Mo and then at Guyue. After thinking about it, he still felt that it was safe for Jiang Mo to fight. From an emotional point of view, Jiang Mo was far inferior to Guyue. From a spiritual point of view, although he didn't know whether Jiang Mo could beat Guyue.
, but he is secretly a spiritual cultivator, so he may be able to win unexpectedly on the battlefield, but that’s not necessarily true!
After thinking about it, Qiu Zhen's face straightened and he said to Guyue: "General Gu, you stay behind to hold down the battle. This battle will be fought by Jiang Mo first. If Jiang Mo goes out unfavorably, it won't be too late for you to go back!"
Qiu Zhen was the commander-in-chief, and his words were military orders. No matter how good his personal relationship was, Gu Yue did not dare to say anything at this time and could only obey the leader's orders.
Jiang Mo cupped his hands at Qiu Zhen and turned around to leave. Qiu Zhen hurriedly stopped him and warned him uneasily: "The barbarian generals are powerful, so be careful. If you can fight, fight. If you can't, then retreat to the city immediately. Qian
Never get involved with barbarian generals!"
"I understand!" Jiang Mo nodded with a smile and quickly walked down the city wall without even riding a horse, walking out of the city gate.
When he arrived outside the city, he first carried Yu Dapeng's body back into the city, and then walked towards the barbarian general.
Infantry generals in the barbarian army are not uncommon, but it is surprising to see an infantry general from the Feng army.
The barbarian general saw Jiang Mo slowly walking towards him and looked him up and down curiously.
Not long after, Jiang Mo had already walked close to Man, and the distance between them was only five steps.
Jiang Mo is neither tall nor short, but standing next to the barbarian general, he is in sharp contrast. The other person is much taller and thicker than him. Looking at him coldly, he looks like the same person.
