Chapter 274: Riding Formation
Hu Ying saw that he was speechless, and asked: "At that time, Cai Shouxin only had a thousand soldiers, and from time to time there were Imulans looting near Linzhou City, such a dangerous situation, why did you still ask him to go out of the city?" ”
Seeing that Lin Qianmo bowed his head and was silent, everyone did not refute, obviously admitting the letter, and immediately became emotional, and the shouts suddenly covered like a sea of mountains: "Hoe traitor!" Slay the thief! Hoe traitor! Slay the thief! ”
Hu Ying shouted again: "Soldiers! As long as we work together, we will be able to drive the Imurans out of our territory and protect our country! You say, "Isn't it?" ”
"Yes!!"
"As long as there are no traitors doing evil, our Linzhou City is impregnable! And you are a model of being famous in history! You say, "Isn't it?" ”
"Yes!!"
The voices of the people are boiling, and the air is shaking the mountains and rivers. The Imulans beneath the city looked at each other, apparently not knowing what was happening on the tower.
Hu Ying pulled out the Qingfeng sword at his waist and said loudly:
"This is the Shang Fang Qingfeng Sword given by His Majesty, slashing the rebel marquis at the top, and hoeing the traitorous ministers at the bottom! Today, I will be for the blue sea, for Your Majesty, for the countless souls who died under the sword of the blood clan, except for this traitor! ”
With that, he walked towards Lin Qianmo, who was leaning against the city wall on the side.
When the soldiers shouted, Lin Qianmo had already heard it soft as if he had entered an ice cave, and when he saw Hu Ying walking with a sword, he calmed down.
He looked at Hu Ying and said, "General Hu, you know, I didn't, right?" ”
Hu Ying approached him and whispered: "Your Majesty wants me to bring you a message, your nephew is deeply guilty, and you can use your head to calculate the only chance you can atone for his sins." It's a pity that even so, Your Majesty can't leave you with a good name after you. ”
As soon as the words fell, Qing Feng turned.
Lin Qianmo suddenly felt that his head was off his neck, and then he was thrown into the air, and what sounded in his ears was a tidal wave of cheers.
After a whirlwind, his head seemed to fall to the ground.
He struggled to lift his drowsy eyelids, and through the blood covering his pupils, he saw the last scene of his life.
A huge black horse stood still, its lion's mane hair falling down, looking majestic and majestic in the sunlight.
* * * * * *
The snow and fog cleared, and the north wind gradually subsided.
On the head of Linzhou City, the crossbowmen were waiting for them.
Qi Lie looked at the ground in the distance ahead, and there was a vaguely bloody head.
He made an indifferent gesture, and all the cavalry stopped behind him.
This distance is beyond the range of the crossbow in the city.
Cavalry is not good at siege, and he knows this better than anyone else. However, his purpose this time was only to besiege and not attack, so the cavalry, which could move quickly and retreat, would have an advantage over the infantry.
Qi Lie beckoned, and the guards beside him understood, and immediately raised a bow, which was the giant bow he often used, "Sunset". I saw that his tiger arm was stretched, and he took an iron black feather arrow, aimed it at the city tower and shot it.
There are more than 300 steps away from the city gate, and ordinary bows and crossbows can't shoot so far, but Qi Lie easily shot the arrow on the plaque of the word "Linzhou" on the tower of Linzhou City, and the strength of the strong archery suddenly attracted all the soldiers to shout and cheer.
Qi Lie's arrow was tied to a letter of arrows, which was extremely humiliating, saying that only one hour would be given to the Linzhou garrison, and if the city gate was not opened, it would surrender on the spot, and after the city was broken, there would be no armor left.
Hu Ying accepted the letter, but as soon as he sneered, he tore the letter to pieces and scattered it when he stood on top of the city tower, not caring at all.
Qi Lie didn't care even more.
He didn't plan to attack the city in the first place, but the 7,000 people he feinted to attack in front of the formation, and the main force of the real forward, 13,000 people, was already lying on the side and preparing to bypass Linzhou City from the swamp in the east.
As soon as the snow and mist cleared, he ordered someone to summon the high-ranking falconer sent by the Eagle King and let them release the Whistle Eagle. Half an hour later, the Whistle Eagle explored the entire swampy area near Linzhou City.
The Sentry Eagle came back quietly, apparently not finding any ambushes.
When Qi Lie left Baodi City, the general was divided into two parts, one was the 7,000 cavalry led by him, and behind him were the Ultai and Alihai in the Eight Cavalry. The other 13,000 men were led by four men, Goliham, Beduyan, Chebuhua, and Wodar, and lay down on the far east side.
At present, the attention of the defenders has been attracted to the north of the city, and it is a good opportunity to secretly cross the east of the city. Qi Lie shouted in a deep voice: "Pass my order, and order the four of Ge Lihan, Bo Duyan, Che Buhua and Wodar to march in half an hour and go straight through the swamp!" ”
Half an hour later is the siege moment written on Qi Lie's archery skills, if it is said that when the defenders of Linzhou dare not slack off, it must be at that time. As long as Hu Ying stared at his 7,000 cavalry, he would not be aware of their movements in Gelihan on the other side of the swamp.
The swamp in the east of Linzhou City is also called Qiankan Marsh, and in summer, there are many waterfowl gathering, and the sound is endless, but in winter, there is only a desolation. The Qianyan Marsh, which had been sprinkled with crystal powder in advance by Wen Lan with the Condor Battalion, was already three feet frozen, and when the cavalry of the first phalanx of Golihan stepped on the swamp ice mixed with water and grass, it looked flat and stable, and the thick ice did not even tremble.
Bo Duyan's second cavalry phalanx followed, Bo Duyan himself was a marksman in the army, and his archery skills were second only to Qi Lie, the Blood Flame King, especially when he used the Lianzhu Arrow Technique, an arrow was as fast as an arrow, and there were few opponents who could escape from under his swift longbow.
The reason why Qi Lie let Boduyan follow Ge Lihan as the second formation was not only because the thunderous momentum of Ge Lihan during the battle was the first formation, but also because the sharp-eyed Bo Duyan watched for him in the rear.
Therefore, since the second phalanx of Boduyan stepped on the ice, he kept looking around, especially on the tower in the east of Linzhou City. However, it seems that the Golden Feather Battalion of the blue sea never considered that Imuran's cavalry would set foot on the swamp, and from a distance, there was not even a single sentry on the castle tower, except for a few flags planted in the desert, and for a time there was no disturbing silence except for the fine snow.
After Boduyan, there is a third-party array that does not cut flowers.
Che Buhua has a nickname called the Wolf God, and he was originally the son of the patriarch of a small tribe in the north of the Bone Mountain. Because he was succumbed to Qi Lie's force, he personally persuaded his father to raise troops to join the blood clan and became a fierce general under Qi Lie's account. This cut does not take a lot of time to use double knives, and he has developed a set of extremely sharp double knife combat methods, and he has personally taught and trained cavalry. Therefore, ordinary cavalry are armed with single knives, while the cavalry formation that does not cut flowers is double knives with sharp blades. In addition, the war horses of the original tribe are also the best breeds in the blood clan in terms of foot strength and speed. The big dark cloud lion under Qi Lie's crotch is the treasure that Che Buhua personally selected to pay tribute to the blood clan!
The double sword and the divine horse made the cavalry of the unspoiled cavalry the most elusive cavalry formation in the Qi Lie army.
Every time the Blood Clan was ordered to harass the border of Linzhou, the number of cavalry dispatched by the Warrior was always the smallest, but the supplies that were often plundered were not only large, but also returned to the north a day earlier than the other cavalry battalions.
Another reason why Qi Lie took Che Buhua as the third formation was that he had a good temperament with Ge Lihan in the first formation, and he had a very tacit understanding. During the battle, it was not uncommon for them to catch up with the cavalry formation of Colehan from the rear, and the two formations were combined, and the combat effectiveness suddenly increased greatly, making the enemy army overwhelmed.
The last to step onto the ice was Wodar in the fourth formation.
Taciturn, unsmiling, always drinking more than talking, that's what everyone thinks of Wodar. Compared with the generals of the previous three formations, his martial arts have neither sharp sword skills nor superb archery skills, and the horses of his cavalry are also the slowest among all cavalry. But every time the colonels competed on the grassland, no general was willing to fight against him.
Because he has a huge shield that does not break through barriers.
Whether it is a double knife or a magic arrow, it can only be reduced to a sigh before this shield. Wodar can't win, but he won't lose either. Therefore, when the draw is drawn, the general who meets Wodar will give up the competition directly------ rather than spend an hour with a dark shield and be tired and out of breath, it is better to drink wine and eat meat, anyway, it is not ashamed to lose to Wodar.
As a result, the cavalry under Wodar was also the only one of all the cavalry with a shield in his left hand and an axe in his right hand. It is said that the Golden Blade King once spent a lot of money to ask Wodar for the method of making shields, and combined with the unique forging method of the Blade Clan, there was a double shield guard battalion in the Blade Clan.
The name of the blood clan's bravery can actually be said to refer to this bloody eight horses. The eight cavalry are famous all over the world, thanks to the different strengths of these eight generals, and different cavalry formations can be combined to conjure up different tactics according to the battle situation. At present, these four people have both offensive and defensive skills from near and far, and they are quite compatible when fighting, so Qi Lie is assured to hand over an army of 13,000 people to these four people. Four of the eight cavalry were already arrayed, and half of Qi Lie's elite division had been used!
In the north of Linzhou City, it passed in a blink of an eye.
The sky was cloudy again, but it was no longer snowing, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere, and it was time for the siege of the city written in Qi Lie's arrow book.
The crossbowmen of the Golden Feather Battalion had already stood all over the Beicheng Tower, and Hu Ying was still standing there watching the Imuran army below.
Qi Lie picked up the giant sword hanging behind his back and pointed forward, and let out a thunderous shout: "Alihai, lead the iron rope to ride the formation, up!" ”
Behind Qi Lie, on the left and on the right, there were two great generals, none other than Ultay and Ali Hai in the Eight Horsemen of Blood and Smoke. Both of them use iron rope riding formations, but the iron rope formation is completely different. As soon as Ali Hai heard Qi Lie's order, he waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him immediately rushed forward.
I saw that Alihai's cavalry formation was not a neat and neat large phalanx, but an innumerable small phalanx composed of four cavalry and one team of two before and two behind. The cavalrymen of each small phalanx carried a spear with a chain net made of thin iron cables on the tip of the spear, and the four spears held up the four corners of the net.
