Chapter 510: Three Strikes
Li Shimin's eyes flashed and said, "Merton, what do you think?" ”
Merton smiled bitterly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, this is a battlefield order, if Weichen rashly intervenes to help General Cheng, I am afraid it will be unfair." ”
As soon as Merton's voice fell, the anger in the heart of the eldest grandson Shunde suddenly rose, according to the meaning of Merton's words, if he helped, Cheng Biting Jin would win.
Li Shimin glanced at Merton helplessly, at this time, Merton was still hard-mouthed, what he was facing was a famous general of the Tang Dynasty, and it was not something that could be defeated by copying a phalanx.
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Shunde suddenly snorted coldly, and said sarcastically: "Who doesn't know how to say big words, I thought it was a young talent, I'm afraid it's just talk on paper!" ”
The cavalry generals suddenly burst into laughter, and looked at Merton sarcastically, in their opinion, as long as the field is sufficient, let the cavalry run rampant, and want to defeat a turtle shell, it is not a difficult thing.
Li Shimin's face moved, and he was about to break the siege, but he suddenly paused, and looked at Merton with a smile, but he knew Merton's urine sex, and he was reluctant to take out good things if he didn't put pressure on him.
Merton snorted coldly and said proudly: "Weichen does have a way, it is not impossible for the infantry to defeat the cavalry!" ”
"Really!" Cheng Yanjin said in surprise.
Merton nodded solemnly, leaned sideways and whispered a few times in Cheng Yanjin's ear, Cheng Yanjin's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe it: "It's that simple." ”
"Simple?" Everyone immediately looked at each other, just two simple sentences could defeat the cavalry, and in an instant, everyone looked at Merton with a little more suspicion.
"Lao Cheng, it's really not good, it's a big deal." Qin Qiong on the side couldn't help but say that he naturally knew the advantages of cavalry in the army, and if he could defeat the cavalry with a simple idea, the myth of the cavalry would have been broken a long time ago.
However, Cheng Yanjin suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "No, my old Cheng thinks that this party may work." ”
"What?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, looking at Cheng Yanjin in disbelief, no one dared to believe that Mo Jiazi was boasting, and Cheng Yanjin, who had been fighting for a long time, actually believed it.
The eldest grandson Shunde suddenly laughed and said: "Cheng Biting Jin, you are not afraid of ruining your reputation in the hands of this kid." ”
Cheng Yanjin snorted coldly and said: "You doubt Mo Xian's nephew, but the old man believes in Mo Xian's nephew, since General Changsun wants to see Mo Dun's ability so much, let Mo Dun lead five hundred soldiers for the old man, and win or lose the battle." ”
"Let Merton command the troops!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Cheng Yanjin puzzled, the eldest grandson Shunde said that Merton was talking about soldiers on paper, because Merton had never entered the military camp at all, at most he just read a few military books, not what is it on paper? ”
The eldest grandson Shunde laughed and said: "Since General Cheng believes in the Mo family, then the old man can wait and see, the amazing thaumaturgy of the Mo family." ”
Since both sides have no opinions, Li Shimin naturally pushes the boat with the flow, and vaguely expects in his heart that if Merton can really create a miracle again, it will probably be Datang's greatest luck.
"I'm leading the troops?" Merton couldn't help but panic in his heart, he had never been on the battlefield, how could he command the troops without authorization.
"What are you afraid of, since people want to see your ability, you have to grit your teeth and go up, even if you die, you will splash their blood." Cheng Yanjin shouted.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Merton's idea was feasible, and he personally commanded the natural odds of victory, but this idea was thought up by Merton himself, and it was better for him to be in the limelight.
Merton took a deep breath and nodded heavily, he didn't expect that the first time he led the troops was to be driven to the shelves.
On the battlefield.
Wearing armor, Merton took a deep breath and strode forward, leading five hundred infantry into the battlefield.
"Hahaha, I have to say, Merton, this kid is still a little bit like leading the troops." Cheng Yanjin pointed to Merton on the battlefield and laughed.
The other generals couldn't help but smile bitterly in their hearts, that is, Cheng bit Jin and let Merton, a fledgling boy, lead the troops for him.
The eldest grandson Shunde sneered: "I hope to wait a minute, when facing the five hundred iron horses, don't be scared to pee your pants." ”
Cheng Yanjin retorted: "General Changsun, don't talk so much, when you capsize in the gutter, you won't be able to laugh."
"That's it!" Li Shimin waved his hand to stop the-for-tat confrontation between the two.
The two looked at each other and snorted coldly, and then focused their eyes on the battlefield.
Li Shimin and other generals couldn't help but focus on the front of the five hundred soldiers, whether it was a mule or a horse, just walk around, and this moment is the time to verify the Mo family.
"Knock knock!"
On the battlefield, the drums of war beat,
With the sound of war drums, the five hundred infantry under Merton's command slowly divided into three columns.
Seeing this formation, the eldest grandson Shunde couldn't help but show a sneer, he had already studied the combat methods of the Macedonian phalanx many times, and he already had a way to crack it in his heart, if Merton copied the Macedonian phalanx, then he would definitely let Mo Jiazi know what flowers would be so red.
Many generals also shook their heads, not to mention this tactic of Changsun Shunde, even they have a way to crack it, and their evaluation of Merton in their hearts suddenly dropped a few points, but Cheng Yanjin was still there, looking confident.
"Lao Cheng, it'll be fine!" Qin Qiong asked uneasily.
Cheng Yanjin smiled and said, "Wait to see the joke!" Merton, this kid is holding back! ”
Qin Qiong suddenly suddenly, in addition to Qin Qiong, Li Shimin also looked at Merton on the field with great anticipation, with his understanding of Merton, this kid may not be holding back his big move?
Sure enough, I saw Merton wave his hand, and the five hundred soldiers behind him immediately took out the weapons in their hands.
"Bow and crossbow!"
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the audience in confusion, everyone knew that although the crossbowmen had strong attack power, once they were close to them, they would only be slaughtered.
And the cavalry is fast, which is precisely the nemesis of the crossbowmen, and they can't give the crossbowmen much time at all.
However, before everyone had time to think too much, the drums of war suddenly stopped, and the martial arts exercise was about to begin.
"Drive!"
Five hundred elite right guards suddenly urged their horses and rushed towards the left leading guards.
"Five hundred steps!"
Merton remained unmoved.
"Four hundred steps!"
The left leading guard was already a little flustered.
"Steady!" Merton shouted, the left leading guards sent by Cheng Yanjin are all elite, and they keep in mind the military order to abide by the military formation.
"Delay the fighter!"
Many generals frowned and said, if Merton ordered to shoot in advance, the left leading guard would definitely be able to shoot one more round of crossbow arrows, even Li Shimin couldn't help but look at Merton suspiciously, could it be that Merton had been frightened by the momentum of the cavalry.
"Three hundred steps!" The general of the Right Xiao Guard's army suddenly lit up, he originally thought that Mo Jiazi would have any tactics, but he didn't expect to break through three hundred steps and still not lose a single person.
"Give me all the power!" The commander of the right guard roared, and the cavalry under his crotch suddenly sprinted with all his strength for three hundred steps, which was the best advantage of the cavalry.
"Mohou!"
The deputy behind Merton said in a trembling voice.
"Steady!" Merton waited until the cavalry had reached two hundred and fifty paces, and then suddenly shouted, "First arrow!" ”
In an instant, hundreds of crossbow arrows in the first row, like black crushed locusts, flew out, only hitting the cavalry on the opposite side.
The eldest grandson Shunde laughed and said: "It's only too late to release the arrows, the boys will rush me fiercely, so that Mo Hou Ye can see the demeanor of the right guard." ”
With his years of experience, he naturally knew that Merton could only put three rounds of crossbow arrows at most, and then he would have no skills.
"Sure enough, it's on paper!" Many generals naturally felt the same way, and couldn't help but look at Merton who was still standing at the forefront with pity.
However, what happened next stunned everyone, and Merton shouted, "Second row of arrows!" ”
"Buzz!" Another round of black bolts flew away.
The cavalry of the right guard suddenly turned on their backs.
"Third row shot!" Merton drink again!
As the bolts flew out, the crossbowmen in the first row had already reloaded their bolts, and then at Merton's command, they fired a second round of bolts.
Under Merton's command, the crossbow arrows formed a continuous rain of arrows, like an invisible wall, blocking the soldiers of the right guard from a hundred paces away, and could no longer break through.
"This!"
On the review platform, Li Shimin's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
A group of generals also suddenly rose, staring at the continuous rain of arrows one by one, and couldn't help but be shocked in their hearts, anyone who encountered such a tactic might only be destroyed.
The smile on the face of the eldest grandson Shunde suddenly froze, he originally thought that the odds were in his hands, but who would have thought that this short distance of 100 steps would be like a heavenly stream, insurmountable.
Cheng Yanjin immediately laughed, and this kid Merton really didn't disappoint him. actually fought a way out of a desperate situation.
"Three-stage strike!"
Merton showed a hint of a smile, this extremely powerful combat skill in later generations appeared in the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and with the divine arm crossbow he created, it shocked the world for the first time.
The surviving soldiers of the right Xiaowei struggled to urge the horses, but in the face of the dense rain of arrows, they were still in vain, and they were shot off their horses one by one. Although this time it was a martial arts exercise, and there were no arrows on the crossbow arrows, the emperor was staring at it, and no one dared to cheat.
The commander of the right Xiaowei is superb in martial arts, a long horse lance makes the furnace perfect, the dance is impermeable, the crossbow arrows are flying, and he rushes forward with all his might, but he does not find that the soldiers around him are getting fewer and fewer, until he is left alone.
"Stop shooting!" With a wave of his hand, Merton's bolts stopped.
"They don't have crossbow arrows anymore, brothers rush me!" The commander of the right guard turned his head abruptly and shouted, but he was suddenly stunned, and there was no soldier by his side.
And the war horse under his crotch still rushed to the camp of the left leading guard according to the order, and on the review platform, a group of generals looked at the scene of charging the battle alone, and only felt a burst of sadness.
"Mohou!"
The deputy behind Merton said respectfully, he was originally the commander of the left leading guard, and he was convinced by Merton at the moment.
"Shoot the horse!" Merton sighed.
As soon as the deputy raised his hand, a crossbow arrow flew out, hitting the horse's leg, and the war horse was in pain, and suddenly there was a burst of Herod, and the horse's hooves were raised high, and the right Xiaowei commander on his back was bumped off the horse.
At this point, the right Xiaowei was wiped out, while the left led the army without a single loss.
