Chapter 87: The Weakness Behind the Strength (2)

PS: Welcome readers who like my works to add my w letter, the chief disciple of the Cheap Sect (jzsxdz).

With Liu Qing's order, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, the two generals of the Eastern Army, also took the lead in tearing through the formation of the Western Army.

Although it is still difficult to justify the Western soldiers who rely on the mirror armor to be invisible at a distance of 100 paces, those Western soldiers who have lost the protection of the mirror armor and are exposed to the air have become the best marks for the Eastern Army generals to judge the enemy's position.

What's more, in this long and narrow canyon, the eastern army soldiers will not have to worry about the left and right flanks and whether they will be ambushed by the enemy behind them, they can only rush forward, just tilt the war knife in their right hand into the groove buckle in front of the saddle, and rely on the sprinting strength of the horsepower of the war horse, and harvest the enemy's life effortlessly.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! ”

Seeing that the menacing Western Sergeant was getting closer and closer to him, Xixiang Hou Han Yi didn't care about the most stringent silence order in the Western Army's military discipline, nor did he care that his voice would attract the attention of the Eastern Army general, so he shouted in panic.

I have to say that as one of the four towns in Jijing, the strength of the Western Army is by no means comparable to the first-class of the Taiping Army, and at the moment when Xixiang Hou Han Yi issued an order, those Western soldiers had already raised their crossbow arrows in their hands and aimed at Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, the two Eastern Army Qu Divisions who were close at hand.

One thing Xixiang Hou Han Yi guessed right, when those "uncontrolled" hand crossbows "soared" in the air, even Xiang Qing and other fierce generals of the Eastern Army flashed a trace of strange color in their eyes. If it weren't for the previous wave of arrows of the Eastern Army that had broken the mystery of the Western Army and exposed all the incredible secrets of why the Western Army was able to do it, I am afraid that even a fierce general like Xiang Qing would be half frightened to death after seeing this spectacle.

But for now......

After stripping away that mysterious and incredible coat, the Western Army was nothing more than an army composed of ordinary people in the eyes of the Eastern Army.

Ah, as long as the other party is a living person, then the Eastern Army will definitely not be afraid! Even if they were still suppressed by Yang Ling, a veteran on the Northern Xinjiang side a while ago, they were suppressed and breathless.

This is the Eastern Army, the head of the four towns of the Great Zhou, Jijing and Beijing with no less tenacity than the Southern Army!

"Watch out for arrows!"

Facing thousands, if not tens of thousands, of Western crossbows. Xiang Qing just said a sentence to tell the soldiers under his command to pay attention to avoiding the arrows, and he didn't mean to avoid it at all, it was really hard to imagine that the soldiers of the Eastern Army would be indifferent in the face of severe crises.

"Whoa—"

After Xiang Qing shouted, the generals of the Eastern Army, who were the vanguard, took out a small round shield from the backpack of the war horse with their left hand.

Name implies. This small round shield is really small, almost the size of two palms, covering the front of the body and even half of the upper body can't cover it, and it can't be compared with the kind of fine iron tower shield of the Southern Army, which is more than seven or eight feet at every turn, whether it is weight or sturdiness.

After all, the small shield is just a small wooden shield mixed with bamboo and wood wrapped in a layer of cowhide, not to mention Liang Qiu Hao, Liang Qiu Wu, Li Mao, Zhen Lei and other heroes, even if it is Xie An, he can break this small round shield with one punch.

However, this small round shield is lightweight and small, and the Eastern soldiers will attach them to their left arm. Immediately leaning down slightly, the angle was almost half-lying on the horse's back, and they were half-lying on the horse's back, using a strange evasive maneuver to reduce the area that would be hit by the arrow as much as possible.

As for the war horses under their crotches. Because Xiang Qing and Luo Chao had already received Liu Qing's instructions, the vanguard of the Eastern Army had already hung chain armor on the chest of the war horse before going into battle.

If the Southern Army is the army with the heaviest equipment, then the Eastern Army is the special cavalry with the most extensive equipment, because it is the most prestigious army in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the last line of defense in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Therefore, the Eastern Army often trains for the most critical situation, which makes the Eastern Army have a lot of additional equipment, in addition to spears, war knives, crossbows, in fact, there are daggers, round shields and many other deputy weapons hidden in the backpacks of war horses, and even more. Some soldiers in the Eastern Army will put several daggers alone in case of an unexpected situation in case they lose their weapons.

But then again, can a small leather round shield stop the Western army's rain of arrows like bees and locusts?

Of course, this was impossible, and although the generals of the Eastern Army had made the best response to the crossbow attacks of the Western Army, they still could not avoid attrition. During that rain of arrows. One after another, the soldiers of the Eastern Army will be hit by arrows and fall off their horses, life and death are unknown, but even so, the rest of the people are still charging, and they don't even have time to observe and pity Tong Ze, who was shot and fell from his horse, like a brother Tong Ze.

This is the Eastern Army, once they start a charge, their eyes will only be staring at the front, staring at their target, and they will not move forward until they die!

Finally, after paying the heavy price of hundreds of generals, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao finally rushed to the front of the Western Army.

The faces of the Western soldiers were full of horror, because they knew very well that since the rain of arrows could not drive back the Eastern Army, then the next thing would be the slaughter of their own side by the other side......

"Bang! Click-"

In a strange sound like glass shattering, the war horse under Xiang Qing's crotch slammed into the body of a Western sergeant who had "disappeared", but seeing that the mirror armor on the Western sergeant's body was broken, his whole person was hit by the charging strength of the war horse under Xiang Qing's crotch and flew up in the air, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Shhh

Slaughter! Utter slaughter!

This is even the infantry's sorrow for the cavalry, once the bow and crossbow cannot stop or even slow down the cavalry's charge, then those infantry will realize how fragile their bodies are in front of the swords in the hands of the opposing cavalry.

What's even worse is that when some Western soldiers escaped the charge of Xiang Qing and Luo Chao, Yan Kai, Chen Gang, Liao Li, and even Liang Qiuwu himself also led the cavalry team to kill.

Compared with before, that is the real crushing, the nature of the Western Army determines that if he fights hard with the Eastern Army and Jizhou soldiers on the frontal battlefield, he will have no chance of winning.

[Lost, lost?] ]

Xixiang Marquis Han Yi was stunned and watched as the soldiers of the Western Army he entrusted with the important task were powerless to resist under the cavalry attack of the Eastern Army and the Jizhou Army detachment. My mind was like a paste, and I still couldn't turn a corner.

[How can it be defeated?] How can you lose? Our side was suppressing the Eastern Army before......]

Han Yi couldn't figure out why the secret of his Western Army was exposed, because the reaction from the Eastern Army before showed that. The other party also had no idea about the trick of his Western Army to press the box.

It is no exaggeration to say that not to mention the Eastern Army, looking at the whole world, how many people know the details of the Western Army?

After all, the four towns of Jijing were created in the early days of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they did not belong to the military system, and they had the right to refuse to reveal the secrets of their own army to the outside world.

In the whole world, only the deceased emperor Li Ji should know a part. Even Li Shou, the son of the current Great Zhou Dynasty, didn't know that he still had such a hole card in the Western Army.

In that case, how can it be exposed?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was difficult to explain this matter, and he could only attribute this matter to the luck of the Eastern Army. Shooting an arrow for no reason, it hit the ground crookedly and exposed the secret of his Western army.

Where did Han Yi think that his every move was completely expected by the right army division of the Jizhou Army, which may become the military division of the Eastern Army in the future, and a seventeen-year-old half-grown woman from Jiangnan.

He originally planned to drive the exhausted and exhausted Eastern Army to this narrow Dead Canyon, where he ended the reputation of the Eastern Army's first elite cavalry in the world, but he didn't want to, this narrow Dead Canyon. Instead, it became the burial place of his western army.

The canyon that winds for more than ten miles long, no matter what the western army is, it is impossible to escape from the hands of the eastern army.

[Lost ......]

Otherwise, Xixiang Hou Han Li is also a very role, seeing that the general trend has gone and nothing can be done, he even ignored the generals of the Western Army who were being slaughtered by the Eastern Army, turned around and fled.

Although he also knows it. Now that the army is defeated, even if his Han family father and son flee to seek refuge under Li Mao, the king of Yan, they will no longer be valued by the latter, but on the other hand, if they accidentally fall into the hands of the Eastern Army, it will definitely be a situation of death and life. With the loyalty of Liangqiu dance, a member of the Liangqiu family, to the court of the Great Zhou. Will they treat their father and son well for the traitors who aided in the abuse, Ling Chi, beheaded in half, and split, although the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty have gradually become enlightened in recent years, how much torture is still left to punish traitors who plot against the country?

Thinking of this, where could the Xixiang Marquis Han Li, who was quite sorry for his life, still care about the life and death of the soldiers of the Western Army under his command, because in his opinion, even if their father and son fled to Jijing to seek refuge from Li Mao, the king of Yan, there was no hope of being reused by Li Mao in the future, but it was better than being tortured to death by the imperial court as a sinner of treason.

However, unfortunately, before he could escape a few steps, Leng Bufang swung a war knife from the right side in front of him, knocking him away several feet away at once.

At that moment, Xixiang Hou Han Li only felt as if his chest was being severely pounded by a giant hammer with the power of a thousand jun, and the whole chest burned painfully, and even, he faintly heard a sound of bones breaking, coming from his chest and ribs.

[Yes...... Who? ]

Falling heavily on the ground, Xixiang Hou Han Yi couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled, he could only raise his head as much as he could, looking at the murderer who attacked him.

I saw that in my eyes, there was a seven-foot sword in his hand, sitting across the Chitu BMW, majestically Le Ma Dun stood a few feet in front of him, and Zhou was up and down, as if covered with a layer of feathers like flames.

"Flame ...... Tiger...... Ji ......"

His eyes widened suddenly, and Xixiang Hou Han Yi spit out three words from his mouth with difficulty, and then his head tilted, and he passed out.

He was probably desperate and could no longer maintain his consciousness, because he knew that the other party was a great hero that he could not catch up with in his life, although he also had some martial arts, but in front of that person, it was not enough to see, far from enough.

"Huh? He's dead? Seeing Han Yi fainting to death on the ground, Liang Qiuwu frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice, "I cut it with the back of a knife, and it only used five points of strength, so it won't ...... You guys, go and find out what he's breathing! ”

From the side, several Eastern Army soldiers will look sideways. I muttered secretly in my heart, your five-point strength is even more fierce than General Chen Gang's full blow, but it's not something that anyone can withstand casually......

"Yes!" An Eastern cavalryman was ordered to turn over and dismount. Came to the comatose Xixiang Hou Han Yi, stretched out his hand to look at him and probed under his nose, and then put his head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat, then stood up again, turned to face Liang Qiu Wu and hugged his fist and said, "General Hui, this guy just fainted......"

"It's okay......" Liang Qiu Wu nodded and ordered, "Come on, tie this person up with a rope and take it away!" ”

"Yes!"

And at this time. Liu Qing slowly came here under the protection of Chengyang, Withered Sheep and other generals, and when she saw this scene, she was curious and puzzled and asked, "Sister Xiao Wu didn't kill this person?" ”

Unexpectedly, Liang Qiu Wu was stunned when he heard this. He asked, "Why did you kill him?" ”

Liu Qing couldn't cry or laugh in her heart, and said cautiously, "For several days, but this person is leading the Western Army, and I can't live in peace if I wait for a while, besides." The soldiers and brothers of the Eastern Army also sacrificed a lot because of this person......"

"On the battlefield, sacrifice is inevitable...... Liang Qiuwu looked at Liu Qing in confusion.

Liu Qing sighed when she heard this, she was slow to take Liangqiu Dance for a while, and after muttering for a while, she whispered, "What does little sister mean." Since this person has sacrificed many heroic soldiers in our Eastern Army, it is better to kill this person, so that the soldiers and brothers of the Eastern Army can export disgust, and besides, this move can also sacrifice the sacrificed soldiers in the spirit of heaven......"

In all fairness. Liu Qing said it well-founded, and it is no exaggeration to say that if Xixiang Hou Han Yi sniped not Liang Qiuwu's Eastern Army but the Jizhou Army led by Xie An, Xie An, who sacrificed too many elite soldiers under his command, would not have allowed Han Li to leave the battlefield alive. Most of the time it was directly a knife in the past, and in the future, as long as it is said that Han Yi died in the chaos.

However, even if Han Yi was lucky, he met Liangqiu Dance.

"How so?" After hearing Liu Qing's words, Liang Qiuwu frowned, and said seriously, "This son is obedient to Li Mao, he is an accomplice, since our army has captured it, it will naturally be handed over to the imperial court. ”

Liu Qing opened her mouth, speechless, for Liang Qiu Wu's stubbornness and rigidity, she finally realized Xie An's original feelings, and looked at the Eastern Army generals from the side in a blink of an eye, Liu Qing found that they seemed to be accustomed to it one by one, and there was no dissatisfaction and complaint at all because Liang Qiu Wu did not kill Han Yi to vent for them.

Even, there were several Eastern Army commanders who winked at Liu Qing, signaling her not to argue with their female generals about this.

Seeing this, Liu Qing smiled and said, "Sister is right, and I still have to ...... Do things according to the rules and regulations of the country! ”

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu nodded with a teachable face.

As Liu Qing said before, the Western Army, just like the raw material of the mirror armor on their bodies, flashy, when the mystery on their bodies was stripped away, they were as fragile as glass, almost just a quarter of an hour's work, the Eastern Army ended the war, about 8,000 or so soldiers of the Western Army were killed, and the rest, seeing that there was nothing to do, they surrendered one after another, who called Xixiang Hou Han Yi planned to escape alone? Even the main generals are planning to flee, and the subordinate generals naturally will no longer have the faith and will to fight to the death.

"Rejoice! Joyfully! ”

With a few hearty laughs, Chen Gang, a fierce general of the Eastern Army, walked over with a head, looking at the thick fighting spirit and unconcealable smile on his face, obviously, the grievances and cowardice received by Yang Ling, a famous general in Northern Xinjiang a few days ago, Chen Gang can be said to have completely vented it on the Western Army.

At this time, Yan Kai also came back, looked at Liu Qing and said sincerely, "If it weren't for Liu Junshi this time, my army would probably be in the hands of the Western Army......

This sentence is true, although the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is simply vulnerable in front of the Eastern Army, but because of the relationship between the mirror armor, if it were not for Liu Qing to see through and guide the generals of the Eastern Army, the Eastern Army would definitely suffer in the hands of the Western Army, after all, the Western Army is indeed a rare treacherous army.

"But what the last general doesn't understand is that since the Western Army has such a move, why should it be defeated in the hands of our army for the first time?" In other words, how did Liu Junshi see through the deception of the Western Army? I didn't even notice ......"

Liu Qing smiled slightly when she heard this, and explained the doubts in their hearts for Yan Kai and the surrounding soldiers on a case-by-case basis.

"General Yan also said that it was a fraud, and since it was a fraud, it had a purpose. This purpose is to lure the eastern army to the rugged and difficult road, so that it is difficult for the eastern army to throw off the western army with the speed of war horses, as for why you can't detect the deception of the western army...... It is undeniable that this is indeed the genius of the Western Army, and on the first day, I remember that many of the generals and brothers of the Eastern Army were laughing at the silver-white thin armor of the Western Army, because that thin armor was simply invisible under the moonlight......"

"This ......," Yan Kai smiled wryly.

Smiling slightly, Liu Qing said with a straight face, "Actually, the Western Army's set of mirror armor is not seamless, but we didn't notice it before, why is this?" Because I'm too focused on the silver-white armor of the Western Army...... Who would have thought that under the conspicuous silver-white armor of the Western Army, it turned out to be a set of dark ink-colored dim mirror armor...... Because of the first battle, the silver-white armor left a deep impression on our hearts, and we subconsciously thought that the Western Army was wearing silver-white armor, so when the Western Army seemed to disappear, in fact, they just took off the silver-white armor on their bodies, and it was even possible to stand still in front of us, and we could have found it weird, but because my mind was full of that silver-white armor, therefore, even those Western troops were hiding not far away, We waited with our eyes wide open, but we also turned a blind eye...... This is a psychological misunderstanding, and it is also the cleverness of the Western Army's deception! ”

"Oh-" Including Liang Qiu Wu, all the soldiers nearby suddenly realized, and they thought highly of Liu Qing, which made Liu Qing blush slightly, after all, almost most of what she said was common sense that Xie An told her when she was in Jiangnan, otherwise, something like light refraction that even Changsun Xiangyu didn't know before, how could Liu Qing blurt it out?

"Sister, what should I do now?" In order to hide her weakness, Liu Qing immediately diverted the topic.

Liang Qiuwu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then a somewhat complicated look gradually appeared in his eyes, Gu Zixiang took a few steps forward, looking up at the bright starry sky.

The hearts of the people around them are like mirrors, the Western Army is the only obstacle for Yang Ling, a famous general in Northern Xinjiang, to stay in Boling to prevent their Eastern Army from returning to aid Jijing, and now that the Western Army has been defeated, it is natural that their next opponent is the overlord of Northern Xinjiang who occupies the royal capital of Jijing at the moment, Li Mao, the king of Yan.

Eleven years ago, they worked together to drive out the comrades-in-arms of the Beirong cavalry invasion, but now it has become a situation where the two armies have to confront each other, even the generals of the Eastern Army are full of emotion in their hearts, not to mention Liangqiu Dance, after all, Li Mao, the king of Yan, is the junior disciple of Liangqiu Dance, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is small.

I don't know how long it took, but Liang Qiu Wu let out a long breath.

"Although Li Mao is a member of the royal clan, he has learned martial arts from my Liangqiu since he was a child, and now he is guilty of rebellion, as the twelfth generation head of my Liangqiu family, I have obligations and responsibilities...... Clean up the portal! With that, she turned around sharply, her robe flying.

"Let's go, the whole army is leaving...... Go to Jijing! ”

"Oh-oh-"
