Chapter 162: Zuojin Valley
At this point, Fan Cheng was also out of the way, and was ordered to return to the forward headquarters of the enemy army to make pre-battle preparations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Except for the xeno-riding beasts above the green cunning horse, ordinary war horses have no way to directly rush to the rugged Xiling high cliff, Fan Chengcheng asked two-thirds of the soldiers of his department to dismount and hold shields and halberds to form a formation, gather more than 100 elite horses, and be the first to kill Xiling.
Chen Hai called Wu Meng, Zhou Jun, Ran Hu, Wu Jinglin and other generals over non-stop, and instructed them:
"I will lead the Huwei Battalion and the First Battalion to attack Gukou, Ran Hu, you will lead the Second Battalion to follow from the right side, and there must be no hesitation. If I die in battle, Ran Hu will command the whole army in my place; Ran Hu will die in battle, and Zhou Jun and Wu Jinglin will take command in turn, and you must hold Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong and they will lead the main force over. We must take Taniguchi and take the Zuojin Valley in one battle - otherwise there is no point in sacrificing so many soldiers!"
Ran Hu wanted to lead the second battalion to take the lead, but if he really wanted to defeat the large group of rebels in the Taniguchi array in one go, the more than 100 elites of the Huwei battalion under Chen Hai were indispensable combat forces;
The generals also knew in their hearts that as soon as Chen Hai came up, he pressed all the troops that could be mobilized, and there was no spare strength left, and they had to support them for at least an hour, so that Tu Ziji and Zhao Rong could lead the follow-up main forces to rush to participate in the battle - in case they were unable to succeed and their positions were defeated in advance, they would be greeted by a desperate situation from which they could never recover.
It is not impossible for any of them to die on the battlefield.
However, when they heard that Chen Hai was going to stand directly at the forefront this time, and also arranged the sequence of command after he died in battle, the generals felt that their blood was boiling and their fighting intentions were surging in their chests.
When Fan Cheng led his troops to rush to the Xiling on the right flank with falling rocks and rolling logs, Chen Hai himself turned over and dismounted, directly took the frost quenched gold halberd in his hand, stood at the forefront, and personally led the cone-shaped battle formation composed of thousands of soldiers to advance.
Although there is a gallop through the gorge of Zuojin Valley, it has been dug by the rebels and laid too many obstacles, and the terrain is narrow, which is not conducive to the conflict of war horses.
The upper rebels on the right wing cliff have been rushed by Fan Cheng, but the left wing cliff is too steep, it is difficult to rush up in a short time, Chen Hai can only lead his troops to advance to the mouth of the gorge against the right wing cliff, and distance himself from the left wing cliff as much as possible.
Even so, the rebels on the cliff on the left flank pushed down a boulder weighing hundreds or even thousands of catties from a cliff two or three hundred meters high, and after falling to the ground, the boulder was torn apart, and the scattered gravel was like a stone bullet shot at Chen Hai and them.
Chen Hai deployed as many light chariots with defensive arrays on the left flank as he could, but the face spirit shield supported by the defensive array could not last long, and there were even boulders thrown far above the chariot, and the defensive spirit cover could only be supported for one or two strokes before it was annihilated and shattered, and could no longer be used.
Fortunately, Chen Hai led the first battalion to quickly pass through the rockfall coverage of the cliff on the left flank, and could even organize archers from the flank to shoot the rebels on the cliff to clear the obstacles for the follow-up advance of soldiers and horses.
"Whoosh!" the rebels at the mouth of the gorge were armed with a large number of archers, and at this time the arrows rained down.
There was no way to quickly move the dozen chariots to the front, Chen Hai and the left and right generals were in the front row holding huge shields, forming a shield wall to push forward, and they heard the arrows ping pong on the iron shield, and they were bounced down; occasionally there were several arrows, fiercely piercing into the iron shield, and even penetrating the old skin and the fine iron plate that was an inch thick, revealing sharp arrow clusters from the other end, which showed that there was no shortage of archery masters in the rebels.
The shield wall was not chaotic at all, and thousands of generals advanced step by step, while clearing the obstacles in front of them.
Or bypass the boulders as big as houses in the middle of the road, cut off the wooden fence and push it aside, or push the large broken stones into the deep pit, step by step to clear and open the passage to the rebels.
At such a close distance, the scarlet beast battle flag fluttered in the wind behind Chen Hai, and it was naturally not difficult for the rebels to identify Chen Hai's main general, but the rebels were hesitant at first, and it seemed that it was difficult to imagine that the master of the Che Cavalry Captain level would directly catch the sword and go into battle.
When Chen Hai led thousands of soldiers to advance within 300 steps of the valley mouth, the arrows began to shoot more intensively towards him.
The rain of arrows was uneven, and most of the arrows were scattered, neither neat nor powerful, and could not cause much interference to Chen Hai, from which it can be seen that the vast majority of the outcast rebels still lacked sufficient training, and their swords, halberds, and bows were quite rudimentary.
However, Chen Hai would not be careless because of this, since the rebels attached great importance to them, they would not expect a group of rabble to stop them.
Chen Hai went into battle with a halberd, and at the beginning of the fight, he felt that there were two qi machines that were not weak, and they would inadvertently lock on him, which showed that there were at least two Insight Realm powerhouses in the enemy formation who could directly affect the souls of others.
These two people should be at the level of the Red Eyebrow Sect's sacrificial wine or the Great Sacrifice Wine, so it is speculated that among the two or thirty thousand rebels in front of them, the elite disciples of the Red Eyebrow Sect who have mixed in at this time should not be less than a hundred.
And that's the case, Chen Hai was even more sure in his heart, since the Red Eyebrow Sect attached so much importance to him, they could only send such a few elite disciples, and it could be seen that their strength was still limited.
While Chen Hai and his left and right generals formed a formation and advanced to the north, he used the gap in the shield wall to observe the situation of the enemy formation.
Among the rebels at the mouth of the gorge, there was a black-armored general who was particularly conspicuous, tall, although he was not as terrifyingly burly as the barbarian slave Tie Kun, but he was half a head taller than Chen Hai, standing in the midst of the rebels like an iron tower.
The black armor general has a beard on his face, and his flesh is full of scars, and he doesn't know how many bloody battles he can survive, at this time he stepped on a half-human-high mountain rock, holding a dark golden carved giant bow floating slightly, and a specialized wrestler beside him held two piles of iron cluster arrows, which could be seen to be specially made, comparable to the crossbow arrows used for bed crossbows, but more slender.
Every time the black armor shoots an arrow, it emits a sharp roar like the void being torn apart, and the iron arrow that leaves the string is like black lightning, and the next moment it shoots directly in front of him.
The generals of the Xuan Realm, even if they were equipped with high-grade shield armor, could not block such sharp arrows, Wu Meng, Sun Buregret and others had to destroy the spirit sword, so they could barely block and knock down this sharp arrow like black lightning.
Not to mention the disciples of the Soul Clearing Realm, the true elements in the bodies of the powerhouses of the Ming Realm are all limited, if Wu Meng, Sun Buregret and the others did not take turns destroying the spirit sword and magic weapon, none of them would be able to block the ten arrows shot by the black armor general, but even so, they would suffer too much.
The black armor will shoot arrows with the strength of the body, and it may not stop shooting three or five hundred arrows, but even if Wu Meng, Sun Buregret and other ten people join forces, they may not be able to seal these three or five hundred arrows, and they still have to stick to them as soon as possible to fight in close combat, so as to take advantage of the absolute number advantage of the elite soldiers on their side and entangle them to death.
There is also a thin figure beside the black armor general, with a withered yellow face, three goatees floating under his lips, and a black sheath sword behind him.
At this time, this person saw that Chen Hai was organizing archers to shoot at the cliff behind him, a cold light flashed in his triangular eyes, and he pinched the trick with both hands, and saw a transparent Xuan Seal flash in his palm, and the vitality between heaven and earth shook silently.
Xuan Xiu who did not step into the realm of enlightenment in half a step could not feel the killing machine permeating the air in mid-air.
Chen Hai raised his head just right, and saw dozens of thunderbolts like small snakes growing out of thin air above his head, and then gathered into an arm-thick thunder pillar in an instant, as if a silver thunder spear was stabbing at the top of his head.
Chen Hairen couldn't avoid it at will in the battle array, and he didn't want to destroy the Nine Flames Tengjiao Seal that was too disturbing, so he directly raised the giant shield in his hand, just wanting to try how powerful this thunder pillar was.
There was a loud bang, and the one-inch-thick quenched gold shield was directly torn apart by this thunder pillar, Chen Hai intuitively felt that his arms were numb and painful, and the muscles and flesh of his arms should have been injured by the unimaginable recoil force, and his whole body almost fell to the ground.
This goatee is not to mention that he has a cultivation in the middle stage of the Ming Insight Realm or even higher, facing the enemy head-on, Chen Hai is still a big step behind, no matter how strong his physical body is, it is impossible to undertake this powerful thunder pillar bombardment one after another, and the ability of the Ming Insight Realm powerhouse to shake the vitality of heaven and earth and continue to fight is obviously much stronger than that of ordinary martial arts cultivation.
However, in the battle formation, Chen Hai did not fight alone.
Sun Buregret, Wu Meng and the others were all startled when they saw that Chen Hai was so bold that he used the Iron Shield to pick up this thunder pillar with his bare hands.
"Whew!"
The barbarian slave Tie Kun roared angrily and rushed up from behind Chen Hai, filling the gap in the shield wall left by Chen Hai after being shaken back by the thunder pillar, seeing the goatee and his hands forming the magic seal at this time, Tie Kun raised the halberd in his hand high without hesitation, and also used his body to attract the thunder spear to avoid slashing at Chen Hai's body again.
Sun Buregret and Wu Meng didn't care whether Chen Haitong agreed or not, they all threw two rune seals directly, and saw two water waves-like spiritual rays enveloping Chen Hai's body, and instantly formed two additional Vajra secret runes in Chen Hai's armor;
They couldn't let Chen Hai take any more risks, lest Chen Hai be directly assassinated by the strong man hidden in the rebels, and they wouldn't have time to cry when the time came.
Seeing that the goatee still wanted to bombard Chen Hai with the Thunder Pillar again, countless generals roared angrily, and with the change of the formation flag, they accelerated the speed of advancing towards the canyon.
Heavenly Master Gongliang had already sent someone to send Chen Hai's portrait to them, asking them to guard against this person, although Goatee didn't think that Chen Hai was really important enough to ask Heavenly Master Gongliang to take direct care of him, but at this time, it could also be seen that killing Chen Hai could indeed severely damage the morale of the Xiyuan army in front of him.
What's more, he was able to take over his Silver Chain Thunder Spear's Spirit Clearing Realm Martial Cultivation with the Shield of Mortal Iron, he had seen it for the first time in his life, and he couldn't allow this son to survive and grow into a big disaster in the future!
However, when the goatee knotted the magic seal in his hand again, and wanted to shake the heaven and earth Lei Gang Yuan Qi to condense the silver chain thunder spear, he found that the Lei Gang Yuan Qi between heaven and earth seemed to have been locked by some kind of incomparably majestic qi machine, and it became immovable, and he could no longer borrow it, and at the same time, this qi machine invaded him, making him feel extremely uncomfortable, and he almost succumbed directly to this majestic qi machine......
How can this be?
