Chapter 158: Ghost Pawn
"Yes, in about a quarter of an hour, it will be here." Duan Wu also stared ahead, his face full of hope: "Tanma said, they dragged their feet and walked very slowly. ”
Changsun Hong smiled slightly: "This is seeking stability, Xin Zhifu is a veteran, I know the severity, if the soldiers and horses are not a system, they are bound to walk fast and slow, and the distance will be opened up as soon as the road is long, and the speed will be slower, so that everyone will not be out of touch." ”
He shook his helmet, the water droplets on the iron helmet splashed on all sides, and then wiped his face: "Gao Yu Chenglong, this birdman, most likely he forced Xin Zhifu out." ”
Duan Wu was thrown a few drops of water into his face, he didn't care at all, and he didn't seem to notice Changsun Hong's words, just looked at the mist in front of him with a look of anticipation, like a mountain bandit looking forward to the trace of the business trip.
Changsun Hong glanced at him and said: "Don't worry, it's a good thing that they come out, but how to fight or how to fight, don't think that you can eat each other in one bite, how to say that the most elite soldiers in Dali are among them, it should be more difficult to gnaw than those armies of King Zhenbei." ”
Duan Wu realized that he was a little rough, and unconsciously, the desire to fight the enemy army had filled his brain, so he retracted his gaze with some shame, lowered his head and said, "Yes, the last general is a little distracted." ”
"For the general, you must be happy and angry, and don't let people know what is in your heart." Changsun Hong said slowly, but there was no reproachful tone: "Once you are anxious, it will inevitably be revealed from your words and deeds, and your subordinates will be infected by you and follow the impatience, which will be harmful and useless in the war." At all times, you must maintain a calm brain in order to calmly face all changes. ”
"What the gentleman said is that the last general has written it down." Duan Wu replied respectfully.
The two were talking, but they saw a fast horse breaking through the rain in front of them, because the speed was very fast, the water splashed everywhere as if treading water, and immediately the knight shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”
This is Shimenfan's exploration horse.
Eldest Sun Hong's pupils shrank suddenly, his expression became awe-inspiring, his body straightened a little, and he said in a deep voice: "Here, blow the trumpet!" ”
Behind him, Kowloon Angde made a gesture to the back, and several brute soldiers raised horns thicker than their arms, puffed out their cheeks and blew fiercely.
"Woo~~~"
The sound of the horn was low, and the sound waves were like ripples that spread against the ground, and instantly expanded to all directions, and the slightly loose formation of the Shimen Fan barbarians in the rain was immediately tightened, and some people carrying heavy weapons were originally squatting on the ground to rest, and they also stood up when they heard the sound.
The barbarians all ran through the rain, running past the columns of soldiers, shouting as they ran.
"Cheer up! Keep your eyes open! ”
"It's a war, I'm afraid of death, I'll cut off my eggs for Lao Tzu, wait a minute, don't lose Shimenfan's face!"
"Shimen Fan has a degree of reward and punishment, kill one person and reward a liter of rice, and Mr. Changsun, the deceased of the war, will pay a pension, and you will have all your strength!"
With the shouts of the officers, the pupils of the brutes began to burn, the violent aura began to permeate the crowd, and the hands holding the weapons began to exert force, although the whole team was still silent as a rock, but obviously, the smell emanating from everyone was different.
That's the taste of bloodthirstiness.
In the distance, in the thick white mist, a man on horseback flashed in the heavy rain.
This was a cavalryman, and he was probably tracking Shimenfan's probe horse, and as he ran coldly, he saw an extra wall in front of him.
He was taken aback, took the reins, and the horse stopped sharply in place, and turned around before he stopped castration, and then he found that the wall was alive.
The reflection of the weapons on the wall is particularly obvious in the rain, and the blade is washed by the rain and can be seen from a distance.
"Shimenfan!" The cavalry screamed, turned and pulled his horse away.
Duan Wu, who was slowly opening the bow and drawing arrows, sighed regretfully and put down the bow in his hand.
Jiulong Angde said in the back: "General Duan, it's so far away, and it's raining, it's not easy to shoot." ”
"I know, I want to scare him." Duan Wu hung back his bow and arrow, and pinched the hilt of the knife on his waist: "The Dali soldiers are not far away." ”
No one spoke, and all eyes were fixed on the place where the cavalry had disappeared.
The rain seemed to be a little heavier than in the morning, and the pea-sized raindrops were mixed with the wind, splitting the head and covering the face, hitting the face without shelter, and there was some pain.
Slowly, the same wall on the other side of the rain revealed.
The flag, wet by the rain, was tightly wrapped around the wooden flagpole, and no matter how the flag bearer waved, it refused to float away from the flagpole, but it did not prevent the two sides from identifying each other.
"Shimenfan!"
"Dali soldiers!"
The mouths of the commanders of both sides shouted out in a low voice at the same time.
An equally long horn sounded in the formation of the Dali army, and some pacesetters came forward, selected a position to stand in a good position, and the rest of the people took him as a reference, and began to arrange the phalanx one after another.
At the front of the line, he looked at the Shimen Fan army formation with a blurred figure on the opposite side in the heavy rain.
"Waited a long time?" His face was serious and terrifying, and a puff of white hair peeked out from the lower edge of his helmet and stuck to his forehead in the wind and rain: "I'm really anxious." ”
He was a little annoyed, and felt that the other party looked down on him: "Waiting here in the wind and rain, do you really think that you can swallow my Dali army in one bite?" ”
His lieutenant general hurried up and asked, "Lord Protector, what are we going to do?" ”
"Don't do anything, stabilize the big array first!" Xin Zhifu said in a deep voice: "When Duan Yanzhen's Chinese army arrives, I will talk about the following." ”
The adjutant general nodded, and gave orders one after another, and the people in the Dali army shouted horses and neighed, and the formation changed, and they probably learned that Shimen Fan was lined up here, and they came in a phalanx, but at this time, they just lined up more closely, and it didn't take much effort.
One side was tossing, the other side was silent.
"The Dali soldiers are in the middle, and there are barbarians on both sides, and there is a group of cavalry on the right and the archers in the back." Duan Wu's eyes were very good, even though the rain was strong and the wind was strong, and he was far away, he could still clearly report the formation on the opposite side: "The formation is decent, not chaotic at all, Xin Zhifu is worthy of being a general." ”
"Stability can be kept, but the development is insufficient, Gao Yu Chenglong let him be a pioneer, but he used the wrong person." Changsun Hong responded coldly, his tone was like rain flying around, without a trace of temperature.
He didn't look back, looked at the Dali army that had not gained a firm foothold, and shouted: "Kowloon, lead the camp to charge!" Don't give them time to get in line! ”
Behind him, Kowloon Angde waited for this moment, he simply answered the word "yes", threw off his horse, and felt an iron mask from the side leather of the saddle of his mount.
The mask is made of fine iron, shaped like a skull, and there are two black holes left in the position of the eyes, all black, covering the face as if a ghost was born, which is extremely scary.
Nine Dragons Onde wore a mask and strode backwards, and the barbarians behind consciously separated a way, allowing him to come to the second phalanx at an interval of about ten paces.
The number of people in this phalanx is not large, about a thousand people, standing in five rows, but everyone is covered in iron armor and iron helmets, covering their bodies, holding a large knife that is almost as tall as a person, the blade of the big knife is as long as the hilt, the thick back and wide blade, the soldiers holding the knife have ghost masks covering their faces, plus they are obviously stronger and taller than other barbarians, making these more than a thousand people look like a group of Shura hidden in the mortal world.
Kowloon Angde stood in front of the Iron Mask, his face could not be seen under the mask, but through the two holes, he could see the Dao essence glittering.
He pulled his knife out of his back and held it high in the air.
None of the five rows of iron-masked soldiers spoke, but at the same time, they slammed their long knives, and the hilt of the knife hit the muddy water, causing a sound of brushing in unison.
Under the iron mask of Kowloon Ander, a dull roar was released: "Kill! ”
More than 1,000 people held knives in both hands at the same time, pointed forward at the blade, and roared like thunder from a thousand iron masks, "Kill!" ”
Several cowhide drums erected behind the phalanx sounded at the right time, rhythmically "Knock! Boom! Boom! "The explosion sounded in the rain, and the drum beat was low, as if it were beating on everyone's heart.
Kowloon Onde turned around and strode forward according to the rhythm of the drum, thousands of iron-masked soldiers followed behind, the speed of the phalanx was the same, and every step of each person seemed to be the same precise, moving forward calmly.
The barbarians in front of them retreated to the sides like a tide, making way for a frontal path, and from the envious eyes of the barbarians on both sides, it could be seen that they were eager to join the ranks of these iron masked soldiers.
Thousands of people seemed to step on the ground at the same time, stepping on the muddy water, "snapping" like a person moving forward, no one spoke, except for the sound of footsteps echoing, this iron party array was like a moving piece of iron.
Because there was no shouting of killing, it was not until Kowloon Onde walked out for a hundred steps that the Dali soldiers on the opposite side found out.
"Ghost pawn?!" Someone shouted, with a frightened voice: "The ghost pawn of Shimen Fan has pressed over!" ”
Shin Nao-fu was discussing something with the lieutenant general, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head in shock, and his eyes happened to meet Kowloon Angde, who was walking in the front.
The mask, expressionless in the cold rain, glowed with a blue glow.
