At this time, the King of Daxia's lazy but yet rich voice resounded throughout the audience: "This is a battle of soldiers, and it is not a matter of life or death. Therefore, the conditions for victory and defeat only depend on falling or losing the horse. Those who fall from the horse will be considered dead and need to leave the field as soon as possible."
"
"If one of the generals falls off the horse, or more than 90% of the soldiers fall off the horse, it will be judged as a loss."
"During the competition, no one is allowed to use mysterious pills or mysterious talismans. Everyone's cultivation level must be suppressed to the one-star mysterious realm. Anyone who violates the rules will be punished by the military!"
Then, the King of Daxia raised his arm fiercely: "Once the winner is determined, the drums will stop and the war will end. Now beat the drums and march out!"
When Xia Yuanlong's words fell to the ground, a hundred strong men immediately took up their sticks and struck the one hundred big drums one after another——
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom..."
Hundreds of drums sounded in unison, and the dense and loud rumbling sound was deafening and inspiring.
Generally speaking, the cavalry encounters a confrontation within a limited distance. Whichever side initiates the charge first means that their running distance is farther. Once the two armies collide, the impact will be more powerful.
But looking at it for a second, Chen Shen and his knights seemed to be motionless, on the defensive?
This discovery made Wang Xingba sneer in his heart and at the same time strengthened the opponent's "rookie nature": "Since you are so incompetent, I don't want to waste time with you."
After thinking about it, the old general swung the sword in his hand sharply.
Although the drums were loud, they could not conceal Wang Xingba's order: "The front army and the center army charge, the rear army presses in, the left and right armies wander around and plunder the formation, kill them!"
"Kill!"
"Let the heroic cavalry army see the power of our tiger army!"
"Destroy them!"
…
Wang Xingba gave an order, and the tiger took the lead in charging. The horses' hooves hit the ground, and the roar was as loud as the sky and the sun!
The short distance of one mile, in Chen Shen's later generations, was only 500 meters, which for the cavalry could be reached in the blink of an eye.
Therefore, when the opponent's entire army made a surprise attack, the young man's eyes widened: "A direct attack with the entire army? Only two small flanking armies were left to cover? Haha, I have really been underestimated!"
But Chen Shen is also happy with this.
He kept the posture of riding a horse unchanged, divided the flag in his hand into an inverted "eight", then made a circle in the air, crossed it again, and then stabbed the tip of the flag behind his ears.
The young man did not utter a single word from beginning to end, but his "sign language" was clearly seen by the commanders of the Knight Cavalry Army.
Immediately, the commanders called the centurions a more simplified "semaphore", and the centurions directly issued combat instructions to the soldiers under their command.
This has two advantages -
First, Chen Shen's flag language just now is one of the four sets of tactics agreed in advance. It can be regarded as the strategic policy of this battle and has been passed down to the commanders.
Then the commander of thousands will guide the centurions in simplified steps one by one, and then divide and manage the army in a more detailed, reliable, and flexible manner.
Second, convey orders with flags instead of speaking like Wang Xingba to prevent the opponent from eavesdropping on the tactical intentions in advance, which will greatly reduce the effect.
As for why they don’t conduct spiritual transmission to their subordinates?
Because each side has 20,000 troops, there are many people.
Not to mention Xuan Master and Xuan King, even Xuan Emperor and even Xuan Zong cannot expand the coverage of divine consciousness sound transmission to such a wide range...
"What is that boy doing?"
"I don't know. You can command an army by waving a colorful flag without saying a word? It's really unheard of."
"Hmph, I think that's just a way to flatter him."
"Huh? Wait a minute...his Cavalry Army has started to move!"
When there was a sea of discussion in the spectator seats, the Knights really moved——
However, they did not charge forward to meet the tiger army. Instead, they turned their horses' heads and feet uniformly.
Immediately, the 20,000 elite cavalrymen suddenly bypassed the temporary command platform that was more than 20 feet square and three feet high, and galloped away in the opposite direction from where the Tiger Army was attacking!
Seeing this, everyone in the spectator seats suddenly turned to stone.
Damn it... the whole army turned around and ran away as soon as the fighting started? Isn't it too embarrassing?
"puff!"
The King of Daxia was stunned but did not hold back.
I think he just took a cup of fragrant tea from the hands of the eunuch Li Zongming and took a sip. He was excitedly preparing to enjoy a good show. Who would have thought that without watching the good show, he was first surprised by the abnormal actions of the Xiaoqijun?
squirting wildly.
After just one second of silence, the whole audience burst into laughter——
"Hahahaha! Oh, you made me laugh so hard. Major General Chen's army commanding method is really...unique?"
"I saw him dancing the flag very seriously, and I thought that kid was hiding some clever tricks, but it turned out... hahaha, what a little tease."
If Chen Zangfeng was still "alive", the ridicule and joking words of these civil and military officials might have been somewhat restrained, but now, from the king of Daxia to the ministers, everyone believed that Chen Zangfeng was dead.
They really didn't take this little fourth-grade general seriously - anyway, it was Chen Shen's fault. You are so ugly, why aren't we allowed to laugh?
On the battlefield, Wang Xingba watched the cavalry army led by Chen Shen turn around and run away. The old guy was stunned for a moment, and then he said wildly: "You are at this level, and you dare to talk about fighting with me? Humph!"
"Chen Shen, Chen Shen, I am really ashamed to have an opponent like you! Brothers, crush the commander and fight quickly!"
For a time, the morale of the Tiger Army was high.
Each of them had their eyes fixed on the young man on the podium, imagining that they would jump on the horse and knock the young man off the horse with one blow, thus achieving the first victory!
At this moment, the Cavalry Army that had originally "fleeed" behaved unexpectedly——
Under the guidance of the colorful flags in the hands of the captain, they who had originally gathered in a large square formation instantly split into two "torrents", one on the left and one on the right, spreading out in a fan shape.
Then, the colorful flags were waved again, and 20,000 people uniformly drew their bows and set arrows, turned around, and pointed their arrows sharply at the tiger army——
"Let it go!" the centurion shouted one after another.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."
The row of knights closest to them all drew their bows and fired straight.
The knights at the back couldn't shoot directly because they were blocked by their teammates, so they all resorted to throwing shots at certain angles.
The bowstring is fully drawn for direct shooting, aiming for the lethality of sudden stabbing; the projectile is limited by the distance of several hundred meters between the two armies. The bowstring is not dared to be fully drawn, and most of the time it is only seven parts apart, so that the landing point of the arrow can be inserted directly into the enemy's head.
.
In the blink of an eye, nearly 20,000 edgeless arrows made of blue steel were fired wildly towards the charging tiger formation.
Those tiger soldiers were shocked. They never expected that the opponent had already retreated, but they turned around and fired arrows?
Wang Xingba couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He always had an inexplicable feeling, as if... he was being plotted?
The veteran shook his head violently, getting rid of this cowardly thought, and hurriedly ordered: "Don't panic, slow down and use your troops to guard against arrows!"
