Chapter 21 The Soldiers Are Coming to the City
There are entanglements.
But soon Chu Yuqing was left behind, Lan Yuguo's army was coming, at this critical juncture of survival, what did he do so much, does it matter if the magic box is not the magic box?
What about the devil who releases it?
As long as the devil is used by me, it will be fine.
So, Chu Yuqing immediately made a decision and formed Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry!
There are more than 18,000 people in Yumen Pass, and they are selected by Luo Cheng, and eighteen excellent war horses are selected, and at the same time, according to Luo Cheng's requirements, they create exclusive weapons for Yanyun's eighteen horsemen.
This is a special class in a special class, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, said to be eighteen ......
That's eighteen people!
One more, one less, the combat effectiveness will be drastically reduced, so Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry has another characteristic, either one will not die, or all of them will die......
A group of nine people is divided into two groups, respectively, to form a nine-palace battle array, combined together called "nine-nine Xuangong array", all kinds of changes are in it, as long as you don't encounter a fierce general like Xue Li who is unreasonable to break the law with force, then Yanyun's eighteen cavalry is invincible, and ordinary soldiers and troops are not opponents at all!
On the eve of forming the Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun, Luo Cheng found Chu Yuqing and once again confirmed with him whether he really wanted to form this devilish army.
Luo Cheng told him that the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry was not only cruel to the enemy, but also cruel to themselves, and with such a high combat power, the price was their lives!
From the day of the formation of the Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, their lifespan is only one year, and they can fight unscrupulously in this year, but even if they don't make a move for a year, all eighteen people will die after a year.
Because the Eighteen Horses of Yanyun are too powerful, the way of pulling out seedlings to help them grow is very cruel, unless eighteen six-year-old children who meet the standards are selected from now on and cultivated from an early age, this defect is inevitable.
Chu Yuqing had no choice but to make two preparations, on the one hand, let Luo Cheng choose voluntary soldiers, and on the other hand, let Xiao He start looking for children who met the requirements, but if these children want to have combat effectiveness, they will have to train for at least ten years, and it is useless in a short time.
This is also something that can't be helped, Yan Yun's eighteen horsemen are too powerful, and it naturally makes sense to be strong, otherwise this world would have been chaotic a long time ago, and in this world where you can cultivate spiritual martial arts, the shortcomings of Yanyun eighteen horses are also obvious, that is, the individual combat effectiveness is actually not very high.
If you face a fierce general like Xue Li, Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry is definitely not an opponent, if one person is killed, the rest will all be abolished, and if you can't form the Ninety-Nine Xuangong Array, you won't be able to exert the strongest combat power......
But!
Even with so many restrictions and flaws, the value of Yanyun's eighteen horsemen was still immeasurable, and Chu Yuqing still wanted to control this devil's army in his hands.
——
Another month passed in the blink of an eye.
Lan Yuguo was fully prepared, and the 50,000-strong army marched from the depths of the desert, and had already walked out of the desert and came to the front of the Yumen Pass, where Chen Bao led the army to camp thirty miles outside the Yumen Pass.
For the time being, it seems that he is not ready to attack, perhaps he wants to explore the reality of Yumen Pass.
Although it is said that the news from the Chu State that it is Chu Yuqing's personal behavior to confront Lan Yuguo, who knows if the Chu State will send reinforcements?
If you don't figure it out, Chen Bao will never attack without authorization, and Chu is a strong country in the end!
"The last general, Luo Cheng, led Yanyun to ride eighteen horses, and met the lord!"
Luo Cheng bowed to Chu Yuqing, but the eighteen people riding on the war horses behind him did not move, and Chu Yuqing looked at them with interest.
Eighteen people are all wearing black cloaks, cloaks with black and red backgrounds, carrying a big bow behind their backs, wearing brocade boots, boots with daggers, and the same waning moon blade as Luo Cheng on their waists, constantly reflecting the cold light of the forest, each holding a silver spear, no quiver, and nine arrows are inserted on both sides of the war horse with special leather armor, a total of eighteen.
The mask is black, the hat with the hood is on, and only a pair of murderous eyes are exposed!
Seeing that the person behind him did not move, Luo Cheng frowned, looked back and shouted in a low voice: "Yan Yun'er, lead the crowd to meet the lord!" ”
Under Luo Cheng's order, the leader of the eighteen people waved the military flag in his hand and inserted it into the ground, only then did he turn over and dismount, and the remaining seventeen people followed suit, and finally knelt down on one knee in front of Chu Yuqing.
"Yan Yun Eighteen Riders to meet the lord!!"
The voices of the eighteen people were low and hoarse, full of a murderous aura, and Chu Yuqing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
He knew that in the past month, each of these eighteen people had to kill at least ten people every day, and now a month has passed, as if they have become eighteen demons who have come out of hell, which makes people's hearts palpitate!
Fortunately, Chu Yuqing did not lose his mind, Luo Cheng was not a devil, those people killed by Yanyun during the training of the eighteen horsemen were all bandits from outside Xizhou, but this time, they did not recruit An, but killed them all!
"According to the previous plan, take them out of the city, after the war starts, you act independently, and you must ensure the safety of the people on the border of Xizhou."
Not wanting to come into contact with these killing gods again, Chu Yu gave a light order, turned around and left.
Luo Cheng did not smile: "Please rest assured, the last general will live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”
After finishing speaking, Luo Cheng led the crowd to turn over and get on the horse, and quickly ran out of Yumen Pass with Yanyun's eighteen horses, disappearing from people's field of vision, hiding in the darkness.
After the training of Yanyun's eighteen cavalry was completed, Chu Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, the price of forming this army was not small, and all kinds of expenses were calculated to be enough for a year's military expenses of an army of 10,000 people.
However, thinking of the other party's super combat power, he also felt that it was all worth it, but it was a pity that these eighteen people only had one year left to live......
"How's it going?"
At the head of the Yumen Gate, Chu Yuqing looked at Bai Qi and the others and asked softly.
Xiao He said: "The materials have already been prepared, as long as there are no accidents in the surrounding villages and towns, and there are two generals, Bai and Xue, it is not difficult to defend Yumen Pass." ”
Bai Qi also smiled and said: "This Lan Yuguo God of War is not in vain, the distribution of the military camp is quite reasonable, I know that the current Yumen Pass is not the coward who was kneaded by others at the beginning, and I also know that I have sent scouts to listen to the news, but the last general is not afraid." ”
Xue Li said loudly: "The battle is together, the last general asks to take the initiative to attack, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the first battle, must hit the morale of the other side, so that we can also appropriately reduce our casualties and losses." ”
In siege warfare, cavalry is useless, under the barrier of the city walls, there is no difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry, even after the city is breached, the street battle begins, and the cavalry is not very useful.
What really gives full play to the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is the vast battlefield, so Xue Li will say this.
Once the siege begins, he can play a small role, at most he will wander around the city, helping as if he is a needle, but the power of one person is limited after all.
This kind of arrangement is still more handy for Bai Qi, and the positioning of the two is different.
Chu Yuqing looked at the Lan Yuguo camp outside the city, his face was indifferent, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
"In this battle, I don't want to be passive on defense, if I can, I want to kill and injure the enemy's vital forces to the greatest extent, and make adequate preparations for future counteroffensives, and I have been passively beaten, which is not my style!"
When the words fell, everyone immediately said in unison: "Obey the order of the Lord (His Royal Highness)!" ”
[PS: A new battle is about to begin......]
