Chapter 163: A Great Victory
The art of war is cloudy: to coincide, to win.
This sentence is about the meaning of holding the main force of the enemy army with a dignified soldier and a righteous formation, consuming its strength, and then laying a victory with a surprise army. Although this tactic may seem simple, it is very practical, and it is a trick that has been tried and tested by soldiers since ancient times.
Cheng Yue and Wu Zizheng's battle plan is like this, let a large number of infantry legions and rebels fight face to face, waste their vital strength, and alternately cover and retreat, leading the rebels into their own preset battlefield, and finally when the enemy is exhausted, let the thousands of iron cavalry who have been ambushed in the valley suddenly kill and give the enemy a fatal blow!
Cavalry is a clutch soldier, with strong mobility and flexibility, which is no more suitable for this strange soldier, and from the valley, it can also directly attack the weakest flank of the enemy, cut through the enemy's battle formation, and cause great chaos and panic among the enemy army!
After a day of fierce fighting, throwing down two or three thousand corpses to no avail, the rebel soldiers have dropped to an extremely low level in terms of physical strength and morale, and at this time they suddenly found an iron cavalry of about five thousand behind them, and the spearhead of this iron cavalry is still composed of powerful heavy cavalry, how can the rebel soldiers still be calm?!
Many people panicked and lost their will to fight!
Although the main infantry of the Right Shenwei was also very tired, their morale was like a rainbow at this time, and they were pressed forward under the leadership of Cheng Yue, which was quite overwhelming!
The rebel soldiers couldn't hold it anymore and began to retreat, and some simply abandoned their armor and fled from the array!
Zhen Yuanzhen was so anxious that his eyes were red, and he hurriedly sent his own personal guards to supervise the battle on the front line as the supervising team, and gave them the right to act on behalf of the military law, but when they saw deserters, they could be killed!
The supervision of the pro-soldier guards still played a little role, hundreds of deserters' heads were cut off, and the rebels finally regained some order and did not dare to flee unscrupulously.
However, this was only a flash in the pan, after the five thousand iron horsemen of the Right Divine Guard cut through the rear of the rebels like a hot knife cutting butter, and went straight to the general's banner, the fate of the rebels' defeat could no longer be rewritten!
As one of the four Davidshu legions of Gongwei Pingjing, the Right Divine Guard has its own heavy cavalry regiment, although the number is not large, only a thousand horses, but the role that the cultivator legion can play on the battlefield is not measurable in numbers, under the invincible battle array martial arts, except for the same cultivator legion, no army can resist!
At this time, a thousand heavily armed iron cavalry lined up in a wedge-like formation, leading four thousand cuirassiers to penetrate into the enemy formation like an unstoppable spear, facing the huge spearhead composed of their true element power, none of the rebels could resist any legion, and all the troops in front of this iron cavalry were all chiseled and defeated like a devastation, and the entire rebel rear was in a state of disintegration in an instant!
And this state is still expanding with the continuous expansion of the five thousand iron cavalry, rapidly spreading to the rebel general's main formation!
Zhen Yuanzhen and Gu Changqing's faces were pale, they both knew that this battle was over, and if they stayed in this formation, it wouldn't be long before they themselves would be mortally threatened, and in desperation, the two had to choose to flee.
Seeing that the generals had already left their own camp and fled for their lives, how could the rebel soldiers continue to persist in fighting? Even the pro-soldiers and guards who had been sent to supervise the battle before had completely lost their will to fight at this time, and they no longer slashed and killed the deserters, and they themselves joined the crowd fleeing for their lives!
That's it, it was only a few minutes of effort, and the 60,000 rebels who had been chasing the army of the Right Divine Guard had been defeated, and they were crushed for thousands of miles!
The scene of the collapse of tens of thousands of people was spectacular, and for a time, the vast field was full of people running wildly, and the scene was like a frightened herd of beasts, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a wolf rushing to the pigs!
Cheng Yue looked at this scene and praised it sincerely: "The battle array martial arts are really powerful!"
This is the first time he has seen the martial arts of the battle formation belonging to the cavalry, which can be said to be quite touching, although this martial art is not very bright in the face of him, but when used to deal with ordinary troops, it is undoubtedly overwhelming!
At this time, the five thousand right guard iron cavalry were still in the chaotic army, and where the huge True Yuan spearhead of the heavily armed iron cavalry was headed, the rebel rout soldiers were all crushed to pieces, and then trampled into meat and mud by the war horses!
"Senior brother, what are we going to do now?"
Zhao Yuzi asked with reverence, after today's battle, Cheng Yue's image in her mind has become more and more tall!
Cheng Yue thought for a while, pointed his sword at the direction where Zhen Yuanzhen and Gu Changqing fled, and said loudly: "Chase, those two old bastards can't let go no matter what!"
"Okay!"
Zhao Yuzi laughed heartily, knocked her heel on the horse's belly, and chased after her first - with Cheng Yue by her side, she was fearless!
Cheng Yue shook his head and smiled, and hurriedly urged the horse to follow.
The mounts of the two of them are all BMW horses gifted by Wu Zizheng, and they are also the existence of one in case of one in the military horse, not to mention the speed, coupled with their unsparing spur, but in about half an hour, they forcibly caught up with Zhen Yuanzhen and Gu Changqing.
"Zhen, Gu and the second thief, leave your heads!"
A few hundred steps away, Cheng Yue shouted hoarsely.
Zhen Yuanzhen and Gu Changqing heard his voice, and they were so frightened that their souls were scared!
"Zhen Quan'er, you bring a dozen people to stop him for me!" Zhen Yuanzhen ordered his housekeeper and captain of the guard.
"Order!"
Zhen Quan'er and Zhen Yuanzhen are both prosperous and lossy, and he has to accompany the funeral when Zhen Yuanzhen dies, so he did not hesitate to risk the death of the palace, and turned the horse's head after ordering more than a dozen personal guards, and went to meet Cheng Yue!
Cheng Yue sneered, took out the giant bow and released arrows one after another while galloping, Zhen Quan'er and other guards did not have many ways to face his spears and arrows that were very powerful and fast, so they could only block hard, but with little effect, except for Zhen Quan'er, who was in the fifth level of the Huaxi Realm, five or six guards were shot off the horse in the blink of an eye!
"I'll fight with you!"
Zhen Quan'er's eyes were red, and when he arrived, he would stab with a spear!
In the face of Zhen Quan'er's attack, Cheng Yue frowned without frowning, put away the giant bow, pressed Tai'a with his hand, dodged Zhen Quan'er's spear on the side of his body, and then pulled out his long sword like lightning, swept away, and forcibly broke Zhen Quan'er's True Xi Armor and cut it in half!
In the rain of blood, half of Zhen Quan'er's body fell off the horse!
Cheng Yue stretched out his hand and snatched the spear that Zhen Quan'er had taken off, and then smashed it left and right with the tail of the spear, smashing all the guards who were following Zhen Quan'er off the horse!
It's just that in an instant, more than a dozen personal guards after Zhen Yuanzhen was sent off were solved by Cheng Yue alone, and Zhao Yuzi next to him hurriedly didn't help!
Zhen Yuanzhen's eyes were shattered, you must know that there are a total of more than 20 guards around him now, and 70% of his subordinates are gone, and what is even more hateful is that even his housekeeper has been broken!
Zhen Yuanzhen was anxious, grabbed Gu Changqing at his side, and roared: "Old Gu, one of us is destined to be unable to escape, you suffered a defeat before, I didn't punish you, now is the time for you to repay your kindness!"
Gu Changqing gritted his teeth, stared at Zhen Yuanzhen viciously, and said, "I can help you break it, but what about my wife and children?!"
Zhen Yuanzhen said without hesitation: "My wife will raise you!"
"Remember your words!"
Gu Changqing didn't talk nonsense anymore, took off his phoenix wings from the saddle, turned the horse's head, and went to fight Cheng Yue.
Zhen Yuanzhen said to the last few guards around him: "You guys also go and help General Gu!"
The guards had no choice but to go to the back of the line.
Zhen Yuanzhen didn't delay any longer, took off his armor, lost his helmet, cut his beard with his sword, crashed into the nearby forest, and disappeared!
Over there, Gu Changqing had already approached Cheng Yue, and the two were about to fight.
Cheng Yue sneered and stabbed out with a sword: "Old thief, you still dare to appear in front of me, haven't you had enough of the lesson last time?"
Gu Changqing didn't answer, but just waved the phoenix wings to make a skill, causing Cheng Yue's sword to deviate from the direction, and then stabbed Cheng Yue in the chest!
"Humph!"
Cheng Yue snorted coldly, knowing that Gu Changqing's sword was old and he couldn't take it back in an instant, so he simply threw away the Tai'a sword, withdrew his right hand like lightning, pinched it into a fist print, and slammed it on Gu Changqing's phoenix wings!
You must know that he is wearing a dragon bone arm armor on his right hand, and the power of this punch does not know how much it has been blessed, and he smashed Gu Changqing's phoenix wing into two when he landed!
Gu Changqing was shocked, threw the wreckage of the phoenix wing, and wanted to draw his sword, but how could Cheng Yue give him this opportunity?
"Poof!"
This collision was not light, Gu Changqing vomited blood, rolled to the ground, and couldn't get up again!
Seeing this, the other guards immediately lost their will to fight, and turned their horses' heads to run.
Cheng Yue took out the giant bow in a good time and shot them off the horse one by one.
When Cheng Yue remembered Zhen Yuanzhen and went to look for this person, he found that there was no ghost shadow nearby.
"Hey, you're running so fast!" Cheng Yue said with an unhappy face.
"Senior brother, are we still chasing?" Zhao Yuzi asked.
"What are you chasing?" Cheng Yue pointed at Gu Changqing angrily, "Senior sister, tie up this old thief, let's go back!"
