Chapter 445: Three Arrows Shake Ten Thousand Armies
The gates of Shinshu were wide open, and the imposing Zheng army swarmed out of the gates in the afterglow of the setting sun and began to line up.
The first to come out was the Zheng army iron cavalry, in order to avoid the snow army in the process of the Zheng army's array, these iron horses should be the first to sweep towards the snow army battle array as soon as they left the city, but they did not rush into the formation, about fifty steps before the formation turned the horse's head, swept the formation, and at the same time, the knights bent their bows and arrows, and threw a dense rain of arrows towards the snow country battle array!
The 30,000 snow troops are all the elites of the old battle, and they don't panic at all in the face of this seemingly terrifying rain of arrows, they just lower their heads, hide their faces under the brim of the iron helmets, and then use the hard qigong taught in the army, and there are no more movements.
The next moment, I heard a "clanging" sound of gold and iron colliding, this rain of arrows caused very little damage to the snow army, and the arrows thrown were all knocked on the iron armor and helmets of the Snow Country armorers, only a few unlucky eggs were drilled into the gaps in the armor leaves by the arrows, and because the qigong cultivation was not good, they were injured.
However, even so, these unlucky eggs have not lost their combat effectiveness, as the saying goes: three arrows top a knife, three knives top a shot, arrows, especially the light arrows thrown from the bow are very poor, such arrows, unless poisoned, or hit the vital point, otherwise even if they are hit by seven or eight arrows, the armor soldiers can still be alive and loud to fight.
Cheng Yue, as the commander of the first army, did not stay in the center of the battle formation, and at this time he rode his horse to stand behind the first battle line, and naturally he was also within the coverage of this arrow rain, but he didn't even lower his head as if he didn't see the arrow rain thrown by the enemy.
Although Cheng Yue was wearing dragon bone Tianguang armor, he was not wearing a helmet on his head, and the Xiongwu Zhenjie who accompanied him made Li rash and frightened when he saw this scene, and wanted to swing his sword to block the arrows for Cheng Yue, but Cheng Yue suddenly threw a playful look that made him dispel his mind.
"Shh
Li rashly put the sword back into the sheath a little depressed, and scolded in his heart: "Such a perverted demon, where can he be killed by a rain of arrows?
It is true that Cheng Yue's scalp is stronger than the iron armor, and all the light arrows thrown by Zheng Jun's iron cavalry have been bounced off.
"Li Shuai, the enemy kicked his nose in the face, and you just let it go?" Cheng Yue turned his head to look at Li Maoran, and his tone was a little dissatisfied.
Li rash couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, it stands to reason that the enemy army sent iron cavalry to harass, and the snow army should also send cavalry to drive and intercept it, and there is no reason to directly let the enemy rush to the front of the main infantry formation. But at present, the 30,000 snow army has been marching for a day, and the people are still tired, not to mention the horses, Li rash felt that the harassment of the enemy army was not a threat, so he did not let the cavalry go to drive away, and the idea of letting the cavalry of the own army, especially the war horse, rest for a while.
Cheng Yue shook his head slightly, his eyes were staring at those Zheng Jun iron horsemen, his eyes were like ice, and his murderous intent was revealed, but his mouth was counting Li rash: "Li Shuai, what are you thinking, this seat knows, but in this way, our army is undoubtedly weakened in momentum! After a day's journey, morale is depressed, how can we still weaken our momentum? In this way, half of the battle will be lost before it is fought!"
At this time, those Zheng Jun iron horsemen circled around, and swept over again with the Snow Army's infantry formation, apparently trying to repeat their old tricks.
Li rashly fought for decades, and he can be called a general, but today he was counted down by a yellow-haired boy, and he was very angry in his heart, and he had the intention to save some face, and said urgently: "My lord, then the general will order the cavalry to attack and intercept!"
However, Cheng Yue said: "Excuse me! Since people and horses are very tired, let's take a rest." ”
"...... this?"
Li Maoran was a little confused, since he said that he couldn't weaken his momentum, and he didn't let himself send cavalry to intercept it, what did Cheng Yue mean by this?
Thinking about Cheng Yue's intentions, Li rashly hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Then let the crossbowmen prepare, and wait to shoot at the enemy!"
But Cheng Yue still shook his head: "Rest! It's been a day's journey, and the brothers are tired." ”
Hearing this, Li Yuran's face flushed, and his heart was surging with anger, was Cheng Yue deliberately teasing himself?!
Cheng Yue finally retracted his gaze at this time and looked at Li Maoran, as before, there was still a sneering smile on the corner of this product's mouth: "Li Shuai, don't think too much." There are many ways to save face, and it is not necessary to work for the brothers to go up and die. ”
Li was stunned when he heard this, and asked tentatively: "......What does the adult mean?"
Cheng Yue winked at him: "You see it!"
Before the words fell, I saw that this thing took out a black giant bow more than one person high and a whole pot of "javelins" out of nowhere!
Li Maoran's eyes widened, he had never seen such a large bow and arrow in his life, just kidding, this is almost in time for the bed crossbow, right?!
In front of Li Maoran and countless soldiers of the Snow Country, Cheng Yue casually pulled out three giant spears and arrows from the quiver, and did not dismount, he immediately rode on horseback, and knocked the black giant bow with only the strength of his arms!
The next moment, the weather aura in the surrounding space seemed to be rioting, converging towards the spear and arrow that Cheng Yue had put on the bowstring!
The rampaging aura turned into a howling wind, spinning wildly like a whirlpool, like a fierce beast that chooses people to devour!
Looking at this might, Li couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and his heart beat rapidly.
Bow Martial Arts!
After a long time in battle, his cultivation is not weak, and he instantly understood what Cheng Yue was doing!
The iron cavalry of the Zheng army, who rushed into the formation, also discovered the "anomaly" in the formation of the snow army, and the general of the unified army was alarmed, and this time he only rushed to the front of the formation for more than 80 steps before giving the order to turn to the projectile!
"Put!"
"Whew!"
The Zheng army's cavalry gave an order, and the dense arrows like rain rose into the air and fell like dark clouds towards the main force of the Snow Army!
At the same time, Cheng Yue also scattered the giant spear and arrow in his hand!
"Go!"
Cheng Yue shouted angrily.
is also firing the bow and releasing the arrows, but Cheng Yue's side is like the city defense heavy crossbow is shooting, a huge whistling sound suddenly appeared, the guns and arrows carried the wind, as if tearing the space, the last to come first, in a blink of an eye, in front of Zheng Jun's cavalry!
"Ahh
The rider knew something was wrong and wanted to hide in the stirrup, but the arrow came so fast that he had just bent a little down when he was hit in the chest by the arrow!
"Poof!"
The iron armor and the iron heart guard mirror paper were penetrated, and the next moment, the upper half of the Zheng Jun cavalry exploded like a watermelon, and pieces of flesh and blood splashed in all directions, dyeing the surrounding Zheng Jun iron cavalry like a bloody man!
It's just that after smashing the Zheng Jun cavalry, the arrow did not show any exhaustion, and then it ran through the entire Zheng Jun cavalry formation, smashing dozens of Zheng Jun iron cavalry on the flight path one after another, and finally plunged into the yellow earth outside Xinzhou City!
"Shhh
Seeing this scene, the 130,000 soldiers of the Zheng and Xue armies present all gasped!
"The power of a sword...... As for it?!"
Even Li was dumbfounded.
Cheng Yue smiled smugly, and tapped the second spear and arrow between the index finger and ring finger of his right hand on the bowstring - this time Cheng Yue was ingenious, instead of shooting three arrows at once, he played the method of continuous arrows, so he could shoot continuously.
"Go!"
Another broken cry came out, and the second spear and arrow shot into the Zheng army's iron cavalry, which had already appeared in chaos!
"Puff puff!"
Like the previous spear and arrow, this arrow also opened a flesh passage in the enemy formation!
"The general is dead... Snow... The snow thief is fierce and fast... Retreat!" I don't know who shouted, Zheng Jun's iron cavalry, who was frightened by Cheng Yue's two arrows, did not delay any longer, and fled towards the formation in a swarm with the tactical posture of sweeping the formation and projectile, not even daring to turn back!
"Huh!"
Cheng Yue sneered and knocked the last arrow between his ring finger and little finger on the string.
It was only at this time that the rain of arrows thrown by the Zheng Army's iron cavalry fell in the Snow Army's array!
"Jingle Bell!"
"Ahh
"Oops!"
Most of the snow soldiers bowed their heads to avoid the arrows and were not injured, but some people were dumbfounded when they saw Cheng Yue's might, and forgot to bow their heads, and they were shot by arrows on the front door when they landed, and they screamed miserably.
Cheng Yue rolled his eyes, what is this?
He didn't rush to release the arrow, but said loudly: "Don't be in a hurry to die if you are hit by the arrow, look at this seat to avenge your hatred!"
After that, he glanced at Zheng Jun on the other side, and finally found a target with gorgeous armor and a majestic appearance at the head of Xinzhou City, and spread his fingers that were holding on to guns and arrows!
"Whew!"
The spear and arrow tore through the wind, as fast as a cannonball, and in a blink of an eye, it was in front of the gorgeously armored Zheng General!
"Humph!"
That Zheng Jiang was enraged, snorted coldly, and the sword in his hand was instantly unsheathed, and a loud sound of "boring" was heard, and then a large number of sparks splashed, and Cheng Yue's gun and arrow were split and flew out!
"Mighty and mighty!"
"Mighty and mighty!"
Seeing Cheng Yue's terrifying guns and arrows stunned in front of his own commander, the Zheng soldiers at the head of the city cheered loudly with excitement.
However, what everyone didn't know was that the palm of Commander Zheng Jun had been numb at this time!
"Milky kid!" Commander Zheng Jun's face was as usual, but he was secretly cursing in his heart.
On the other side of the battlefield, Cheng Yue's reaction was diametrically opposite, this thing smiled freely, inserted the sharp tip of the giant bow into the ground beside him, and freed up a pair of hands to wrap his arms.
"Big ...... My lord, don't shoot a few arrows anymore?" Li on the side stammered and asked.
Cheng Yue didn't take advantage of it, looked at the commander of the Zheng army at the head of Xinzhou City from afar, and sneered: "This old boy has good acting skills!"
"My lord!" Li rashly called out again.
Cheng Yue came back to his senses at this time: "What? Shoot a few more arrows? Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's talk about the battle first, after a day's journey, this seat also needs to take a good rest." ”
Cheng Yue made it clear that he would not shoot again, and Li Maoran couldn't help but secretly regret in his heart, with the power of Cheng Yue's arrow, if he came a few more times, he would definitely be able to severely demoralize the Zheng army, and maybe the Zheng army would dispel the idea of going to war, so that their snow army would have time to set up camp and rest for the night.
Cheng Yue glanced at Li Maoran out of the corner of his eye, and smiled secretly in his heart: "Scare off the enemy army? How can there be such a cheap thing? No matter how tired you are, this battle must be finished!"
