Chapter 66: The Sneak Attack in the Olijo Valley
Ahuyu's defeat was unexpected, and no one knew why the Cult of the Cross, which had always advocated peace and fraternity, suddenly showed its dangerous side, and the Templars, who had always been regarded as decorations, showed their due combat prowess in accordance with the canon.
The Holy Cult moved so fast that even the spies planted in the north didn't have time to send back the news. And Zhao Fu also hurriedly integrated 80,000 horses, including 10,000 Zheng Yuan's Hu army, 10,000 Lin Ji's iron arm army, these two are Zhao Fu's current descendants, and the other 60,000 are border troops stationed in the northwest, and they are all true men who have seen blood.
As is traditional, Zhao Fu carried out an impassioned oath-taking ceremony outside Lanting City, and then left with his troops, the momentum was not so huge, if it was not necessary, Zhao Fu even wanted to secretly leave with these 80,000 people like Zheng Yuan. Lin Haoyan and Shi Yiqiu are about to get married, which means that the marriage time for himself and Qin Zhirou is also approaching, and he has to seize this best opportunity, even if he can't defeat Hu Ren in a wave, it can also make them lose their vitality, for Qin Zhirou, Zhao Fu is very weak-hearted.
Zhao Fu had a good experience of what it means to be galloping with ten thousand horses this time, with himself as the center, Zheng Yuan on the left, Lin Ji on the right, 80,000 people spread out, and everywhere he looked, there were crowds.
The speed of the troops was not fast, and the Hu people's combat power was very strong, but the Templars were well-armed, and when he was in Lanting, Zhao Fu had consulted Xia Yingyang, Ma Xiong and others, and finally came to the conclusion that after eight days of fighting, the Hu would launch a final encroachment on the Templars, and at that time, the Templars would burst out with maximum combat power to counterattack. Therefore, Zhao Fu deliberately controlled the march of the troops, and wanted to arrive at Fangying Sea at the time point of the eighth day.
"General, it seems...... Something is wrong...... "Liu Anyuan has been working in the General's Mansion, and this time he has naturally become the commander of the army, he is a native of the northwest, and he is used to the rough but quiet land in the northwest." It's just that today's land has brought him an anxious mood, like the anxiety of a long-dormant beast that is dissatisfied with the prey that has not yet been delivered.
The destination of the 80,000 soldiers led by Zhao Fu was also to release the Eagle Sea, which was the point of contact between the Holy Sect and the Hu people that they had speculated, and it was also the place where the Great War would be staged. However, the troops were not halfway through the march when they were intercepted.
It is not unreasonable that the prairie is the most advocating power, and on the prairie where you can see the horizon, the trajectory of conspiracy is not loved. The Han people had never heard of the Hu people fighting ambush warfare, let alone that tens of thousands of people would suddenly appear on the horizon, and before, they had not felt the sound of horses' hooves, or even the dust had not been raised.
But now, the horse's hooves roared, and the sand and rocks rose from the ground, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, intimidating the Quartet.
Orijo Valley was also a high-ranking member of the Brother's Righteous House, and he had personally experienced a three-day battle with the Immortal Knights of the Holy Sect, and was shocked by the terrifying combat power of those demons. Later, after Ahuyu chose to surrender to the Holy Sect, he began to have his own thoughts, and he began to befriend the Holy Messenger, and succeeded in gaining his trust.
Ahu Yu followed the holy envoy to the holy city to stand by, and the Olijo Valley became the new owner of the current North Garden, and Si Boluo also generously gave him a rune, and he did not hesitate to treat this far-sighted dogleg.
Zhao Fu gave the order, and the order flag soon began to be transmitted, and at the same time, the signal flare was also ignited to remind the troops behind him. The number of enemy troops in front of you is estimated to be in the early 40,000s, so there is no need to worry. Although the nation on horseback is strong, the soldiers of the Lanhe River are also the strongest army in the world, and the Northwest Army is even more so. The only thing that made Zhao Fu curious was how the other party had been hiding until now, when he suddenly broke out.
This method is quite like optical camouflage, and Zhao Fu suddenly thought of this unfamiliar word that he hadn't remembered for a long time.
With the issuance of the military order, the army formation of 80,000 people quickly spread out, swelling on the plain like a sponge that has absorbed water, and it is not known how many times larger than the original marching team.
And these 80,000 troops also marched on different routes: Zhao Fu took the lead, followed by 8,000 iron-armed new troops, and he rushed to the front of the entire army as a vanguard; Zheng Yuan and his 10,000 Hu troops had quietly come to the far left of the army formation, ready to encircle and suppress; Lin Ji led the remaining 2,000 Iron Arm troops as overseers and interspersed with the commanders.
Zhao Fu has confidence in himself, he has completely cultivated the second stage of the nameless cheats, as long as he is willing, the arrow can't even fall within a hundred meters with him as the axis, it's just that it consumes too much physical strength, Zhao Fu just makes sure that he won't be accidentally injured by the sword, before the physical strength is completely consumed, he is invincible.
Seeing that the Lanhe people had already rushed in formation, Oriho Valley was not afraid, his 40,000 soldiers were all blessed by the Holy Envoy, although the effect was not as good as those Templars, but the Hu people were already brave, and their combat power became stronger under the stimulation of potential, and he also greeted Zhao Fu with absolute confidence.
On one side, there is a strong army in the world, and the army formation of the Northwest Army is assembled, like one giant python after another writhing through the plain, trying to surround and strangle the enemy.
On the other side, the potential was stimulated to the maximum, the overdrawn Hu people's eyes showed a fierce light, and their wildness was also awakened, and the most primitive nature of life and death led them to pedal their war horses and wield broadswords.
This is a dangerous duel, even Zhao Fu was shocked by the enemy's combat power, even he could feel the strength of the opponent's soldiers, but Zhao Fu is now the commander of the first army, behind him are the people of his family and country, and when he is close, he is also a disciple of his own army, he can't retreat.
Of course, there is no need to return. Zhao Fu proudly brandished a special long knife, which was a cavalry long knife specially designed for cavalry, and although the enemy was strong, it was still not his opponent. Zhao Fu identified an enemy that was about to collide, took a deep breath, and then slashed down with a long knife, cutting it in two. Zhao Fu's knife is very sharp, so sharp that it can only be regarded as "cutting" and not "cutting".
The physical consumption was not very much, Zhao Fu was sure, shouted, and continued to lead the team deeper. The eight thousand horsemen behind him saw that Zhao Fu succeeded in the first kill, and his morale was greatly boosted, and he was also a heroic and dry cloud, maintaining the formation and impact speed, and fiercely inserted into the enemy camp, cutting a big hole.
Orijo Valley didn't expect that the young man on the enemy side actually had such divine power, and the long knife was even sharper and stronger, cutting people even the skeleton together without even a single blade.
Before he could continue to be surprised, on the other side, Zheng Yuan also let out a wild howl. On the flanks, the Hu army led by Zheng Yuan was more fearless than the Northwest Army, and soon tore a gap, and Zheng Yuan also made contributions again and again.
The Hu people were taken aback by the sudden ferocity of these two people, in the past, they were looking for trouble with the Lanhe Empire, and they were used to bullying small towns without a large number of regular troops stationed in the autumn wind, but today they suddenly found that the army of Lanhe was even more fierce than themselves, and this contrast made them a little difficult to accept.
Orijo Valley didn't expect the situation to be so unfavorable to them, and they originally wanted to ambush here to have a surprise effect, but it turned out to be just the opposite, and now it seems that they are more passive.
That Han boy actually had such combat power, which Oriho Valley did not expect, and he immediately organized his cronies to behead him.
Time is of the essence and cannot be delayed! This is the consensus of both sides. Zhao Fu's physical strength is not endless, so he just wants to end this unplanned battle as soon as possible before nightfall, or achieve the maximum results. Because once it goes into night, the Hu people, who are more familiar with the terrain here, will certainly have a much more obvious home field advantage than they do.
And Oriho Valley also knew that the Holy Sect's strengthening methods were trading with demons, and if he didn't end the battle as soon as possible, his soldiers would definitely be devoured by demons.
Both sides are in a hurry, so there is no detour, the two sides are twisted together, there is no conspiracy and calculation, there is no art of war and tactics in the end, which side is stronger, everything is evaluated by strength.
The soldiers of the Orijo Valley were indeed strong, and when their numbers were suppressed, they still maintained their formation and were not scattered by the Lan River army.
The collision between the two sides has come to the fifth time, both sides have suffered losses to each other, and Zhao Fu's physical strength has been consumed by more than half, he can clearly feel that his mount has been a little unable to keep up with his own movements, since this is the case, it means that the overall combat capability of the Northwest Army is declining, and the opposite side is ...... Zhao Fu frowned, four times to rush into battle, he did not feel that the combat ability of the opposite side had declined.
The flag danced, Zhao Fu reorganized the formation, and under his order, those soldiers who were seriously wounded and incapacitated to fight automatically left the team with their horses, and Lin Ji was responsible for receiving them, and their role in this battle was negligible.
Oriho Valley sneered and looked at Zhao Fu's command, in his opinion, this kind of stupid kindness will only bury the other party, a soldier is a soldier, a broken hand has a foot, a broken foot still has teeth, even if it is half a dead person who has fallen to the ground, it can also be used to consume the edge of the enemy's sword.
Soon, the fifth collision officially began, Zhao Fu changed a horse, still a horse rushed to the front, Zheng Yuan did not continue to be involved on the flanks, but followed Zhao Fu's side, becoming the second sharpest spear. Both of them understand that although their side has an advantage in numbers, the consumption of physical energy is not comparable to that of the other side, and the consequence of choosing to eat the other side must be that their own side will be eaten by the other side in turn.
Orijo Valley's eyes kept staring at the young man who rushed to the front, and although he didn't want to admit it, this was the bravest man he had ever seen. With the swing of the long knife, one life after another was harvested, and that young boy was stronger than Ahuyu, which was his most intuitive feeling. After this battle, there must have been hundreds of Hu people who died at the hands of that man, right?
Closer, closer! Oriho Gu tightened his grip on the saber in his hand, and when he saw that the young general was approaching, he became more and more nervous, and this time he was going to cut the young man under the horse himself.
If you open the perspective, you will find that Zhao Fu at this moment has opened a certain distance from his own troops, he has killed a little high, but his subordinates obviously do not have Zhao Fu's world-shattering power, and soon, Zhao Fu will be separated.
This is a trap, Oliho Valley does not hesitate to let his subordinates die, but also to talk about Zhao Fu to introduce this encirclement, and this encirclement does not need to last long, only need to resist for a while, Zhao Fu will die under the knife.
Just over easy to break, Hui Ji will be injured. Oriho Valley thought of such a word to describe Zhao Fu, if Zhao Fu continues to grow, he must be a famous general in the world and a powerful era. But there will be no aftermath, geniuses are easy to break, and geniuses who can't survive after are not as good as waste.
Orijo raised his saber with some trembling, the beginning of an era was about to end by him, which made him more or less excited. He met with Zhao Fu, and chose the gap period when Zhao Fu's knife was too late to recover. Even if Zhao Fu reacted and temporarily changed his moves, his strength was already past its peak, and it was not enough to cause him fatal injuries, and his blow had been planned for a long time, even if he couldn't kill the other party, he could make the other party fall into a stubborn illness, and he would not be able to lift the knife again for the rest of his life.
Orejo Valley was a little complacent, and he had already simulated a variety of words in his mind:
"Young and vigorous, don't underestimate the people of the world."
"Blame you for meeting me, the wisest fox in the steppe, Olijo Valley."
"After all, the Han people cannot be the opponents of the Hu people."
"Your favorite thing in your daily life is intrigues, and now I use them on you, how about it?" And so forth and so on.
At the same time, Olihuo Valley couldn't help but feel sorry that Zhao Fu was about to die, and he thought that he was the most powerful man on the grassland except for Ahuyu, so he couldn't help but feel a little sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
No matter how brave a general is, after all, two fists are invincible to four hands.
Oriho Valley also noticed the brave Zheng Yuan early on, and now Zheng Yuan has completely integrated into the culture of the Han people, just like the armored son of the martial arts family. Oriho Valley had already arranged for a large number of people to trap Zheng Yuan, so he was not worried that Zheng Yuan would be able to break through to the Savior.
The saber was cut out, but the result was quite a deviation from the plot he expected.
Zhao Fu was still riding straight on the horse, and the long knife in his hand no longer knew where it had been thrown, replaced by a portable saber glowing with black light, and the cold light of the slender but sharp blade that was raised blinded the eyes of the Orihuo Valley.
"Cunning Han Chinese!" Oriho Valley roared angrily, but to no avail, Zhao Fu's saber has always been warmed by him, it is sharper than the long knife, and Oriho Valley was also easily cut by him.
Zhao Fu unhurriedly took out a signal flare from his arms and lit it and threw it, and there was a circle of Hu people around him, but they only maintained a position of a horse distance, not daring to approach.
