Chapter 161: A Husband Takes the Pass
The drums of war are noisy, and the iron hooves shake the ground!
For a time, the vanguard of the two armies became the focus of the entire battlefield!
Cheng Yue's subordinates are all infantry, and Gu Changqing's subordinates are all cavalry, and the number is more than three times that of Cheng Yue's side.
Gu Changqing relied on a large number of soldiers and strong mobility, and as soon as he came up, he wanted to outflank him in a roundabout way and eat Cheng Yue's 3,000 infantry in one bite. Cheng Yue, on the other hand, unhurriedly ordered a change of formation, turning the tower shield gun array, which was completely facing the enemy head-on, into a hollow phalanx - that is, an infantry battle formation with an outward facing enemy on all sides, and a spear and tower shield as a barrier.
Seeing Cheng Yue put out a hedgehog array, Gu Changqing was disdainful, in his opinion, it seems that he can only be beaten passively, and the battle formation inside and outside is not vulnerable at all, as long as he concentrates the iron horse at one point and forcibly breaks through, Cheng Yue's battle formation will collapse!
Gu Changqing thought so and did so, nearly 1,000 heavily armed troops among the 10,000 iron cavalry were quickly assembled to the northeast corner of Cheng Yue's hollow phalanx, and then with this heavy iron cavalry with battle array martial arts as the spearhead, the remaining more than 2,000 cuirassiers followed, and launched a huge charge towards Cheng Yue's phalanx!
"Gu Changqing has been on the border of Gray Prefecture for many years, and he is a famous general, and he really deserves his name!" Looking at the unstoppable wave of the enemy's charge, Cheng Yue couldn't help but admire - the cavalry on the opposite side was waving Gu Changqing's general flag, so Cheng Yue recognized at a glance who the enemy's general was.
It was the first time for Zhao Yuzi to go to the battlefield, and he was shocked by the scene of thousands of iron horsemen rushing into battle, shaking Cheng Yue's arm, and said urgently: "Senior brother, don't increase his popularity anymore, think about what to do?"
"What should I do?"
Cheng Yue laughed, put Tai'a in the sheath, and took out the giant bow captured from the demon country!
Zhao Yuzi looked at him inexplicably, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could he use this mere bow and arrow to crush the charge of the enemy's iron cavalry?
"Senior sister, watch me break the enemy!"
Cheng Yue didn't mean to explain to her, he shouted, and urged the horse to rush to the northeast corner of the military formation!
Zhao Yuzi saw his behavior becoming more and more confused, Cheng Yue is trying to break through the self-army battle formation from the inside and welcome the enemy in?!
It's no wonder that she is inexplicable, even the soldiers who have been in battle for a long time were also taken aback by Cheng Yue's actions!
However, the expected picture did not appear, Cheng Yue just drove the war horse to gallop along the human wall, on the back of the galloping horse, he bent his bow like a full moon, and shot a spear and arrow at the spearhead of the enemy's charge!
At this time, Gu Changqing's heavily armed iron cavalry was still more than 300 steps away from Cheng Yue's phalanx, and it was far from the time to launch the battle array martial arts, all the knights in the formation only had a few layers of relatively thin armor to protect themselves, how could they resist Cheng Yue's spear and arrow, which was as powerful as a bed crossbow?
Although this arrow only killed three people, it was not a small blow to the morale of the rebel iron cavalry, and the entire wedge-shaped cavalry formation was in chaos when it landed, and the speed of the charge was a little slower!
"Three hundred steps away can frustrate the enemy's edge, and the archery skills of adults can be described as superb!"
"Your Excellency has such a strong arm, you can make such a huge bow!"
"The enemy's position is out of order, haha!"
The hoplites were amazed.
"What is this? continue to see through the enemy!"
Cheng Yue smiled heroically, this time he directly pulled out three spears and arrows from the quiver, urged the power of the true yuan, and used the magic arrow blood annihilation!
Suddenly, the aura of heaven and earth converged towards the three arrows in Cheng Yue's hand as if it were rioting! The surrounding dirt and dust were also driven by the aura, rising one after another, covering the sky and the sun, but in an instant, the visibility of the whole world was several points lower!
"The wind and clouds are moving, and the magic arrow breaks through the sky!"
Cheng Yue let out a loud shout and let go of the fingers holding on to the arrow!
There was a loud "buzz", and three spears and arrows flew towards the enemy formation like three silver meteors!
Wherever the arrow passed, cracks appeared in the space as if it had been torn apart, and the momentum was terrifying!
"Hurry up and start the battle array martial arts!"
The commander of the heavy cavalry was shocked and hurriedly ordered loudly, but it was a little too late to start the battle formation martial arts confrontation at this time!
The speed of the three demonized spears and arrows was amazing, and almost instantly, they arrived in front of the knights, and three deafening explosions were heard, and a third of the entire wedge-shaped cavalry array disappeared in an instant, and the stumps and broken arms of people and horses flew in all directions, and the fragments of armor that were fired turned into deadly shrapnel, smashing the knights behind them on their backs, and a large amount of blood mixed with internal organs and fragments were thrown into the air, spreading like a blood-colored haze!
"Oh my God!"
On the battlefield, both the enemy and the enemy were stunned by this scene!
"The lethality of this martial art is too strong, right?!"
Gu Changqing's face turned pale, and he looked at the general flag in the hollow phalanx and muttered to himself: "Zhaozi general banner, could it be Zhao Wuzi of Yunshengmen?!
At this moment, Cheng Yue's shout came from the phalanx: "Gu Changqing, for the sake of your many years of hard work and hard work for the country, if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, and turn against the battle, I will let you live, otherwise today next year will be your death day!"
"Dare to threaten me!" Gu Changqing was furious, rode his horse out of the formation, pointed at Cheng Yue with a horse whip and scolded, "Zhao Wuzi, you demon way! If it weren't for you framing the eldest prince, how could there be today's tragedy of compatriots fratricidal? You, the culprit, dare to say anything in front of the two armies to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light? Even if I Gu Changqing dies, I will kill you, a thief of the country!"
"Huh!" Cheng Yue pursed his lips, "There are all the human and material evidence, the king has already made a clear decision, it is a fact that Lu Wenchen colluded with Zhou Kaisheng to murder the second prince, how can it become me to frame you when it comes to your mouth? You are such a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, does not distinguish between good and evil, and there is no point in living, I will give you an arrow to help you reincarnate!"
After saying that, he bent his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow at Gu Changqing!
"When I break your formation, see who will be reincarnated?!" Gu Changqing did not show weakness at all, and with a wave of the phoenix wing in his hand, Cheng Yue's spear and arrow were smashed away!
Cheng Yue couldn't help but be surprised: "There are two hits on this product!"
Although he didn't use martial arts for the arrow just now, how could the spear and arrow shot out with a huge bow with a pulling force of nearly 5,000 catties be as powerful as ordinary people? Gu Changqing could smash it so easily, which could only show that this person's cultivation was not low, and he was not an easy character to deal with!
Gu Changqing is a veteran general who is old in the battle formation, and he has extremely rich experience in war, so he smashed Cheng Yue's gun and arrow, and immediately turned his horse's head and hid in the riding formation, so that Cheng Yue could no longer find him.
"Old fox!"
Cheng Yue gritted his teeth, and did not search for Gu Changqing's figure again, but once again locked the target of the attack on the heavily armed iron horse!
After being severely injured by the blood annihilation of the magic arrow, the formation of this heavy iron cavalry became scattered, and it could no longer form an effective impact, so it had to retreat with hatred, but Cheng Yue always regarded them as a great enemy, how could he let them retreat calmly?
Gu Changqing saw Cheng Yue's plan, and immediately issued a military order, asking the cuirassiers outflanking the hollow phalanx to launch a diversion offensive, so that Cheng Yue could not pursue the hoplites with all his strength!
Although the cuirassiers did not have the skills of the battle formation, they were much more flexible, galloping around the hollow phalanx, while throwing feather arrows, killing and wounding the heavy infantry, if they found a vacancy, such as if they were lucky enough to shoot a piece of heavy infantry, they would take the opportunity to launch a swift charge!
Under the wanton attack of these cuirassiers, the hollow phalanx soon became dangerous - they had no long-range means of attack, so they could only stand in place and be beaten, naturally passive!
Cheng Yue had no choice but to give up the heavy cavalry, urging the war horse to drive around the inside of the phalanx, shooting spears and arrows wherever there was danger, and maintaining the battle formation without being broken through with his own strength!
"Come, come, shoot at me, see which of us dies first?!"
Cheng Yue shouted loudly while speeding and continuously releasing arrows!
However, how could the cuirassiers compare with him in archery? Not to mention the accuracy, the power of the bow used alone was too much worse, and the wolf who was shot by him alone rushed to the pig, suffering heavy casualties, and for a time, the hollow phalanx, which was originally in danger, turned into safety!
"With such bravery, even if the flying general in the primeval era is reborn, it is difficult to match it!" On the low mountain, Wu Zizheng stroked his beard and sighed, he was now convinced of Cheng Yue, and there was no longer a trace of doubt about Cheng Yue's past achievements!
Even Lu Wenzheng also said with a confused face: "Eh, Zhao Wuzi is so fierce, it's a bit too condescending to be a national teacher, so let's make him a general!"
"Your Highness, I'm afraid that he won't be vulgar!" Wu Zizheng was in a rare mood to joke with Lu Wenzheng.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wenzheng took it seriously, and shouted in annoyance: "That widow will be named his national teacher and general, so he should have no opinion!"
Wu Zizheng's expression suddenly seemed to be a dog in the sun, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart: The national teacher and general, it's fresh to say, who has heard of it?!
