13. Rescue of the troops
Suddenly, I saw him pick up a few corpses of the Xuanjia Army and throw them into the fire, and while the fire was on, he threw the burning corpses into the middle of the Xuanjia soldiers who formed the human wall.
The flames on his body were stained with fire oil, which was difficult to extinguish, and the Xuanjia army protecting Li Siye suddenly wailed.
This guy actually knew how to think, and these skeleton soldiers really regained some consciousness.
"Set-Royal-Turtle Guarding the Golden Hedgehog Array-"
Li Siye shouted, and the herald quickly raised the flag.
The Xuanjia Army, which had suffered the impact, quickly gathered with difficulty with Li Siye as the center.
The Xuanjia army was layered with shields to form tortoiseshells, and spears were exposed as hedgehog spikes.
For ordinary enemy troops, this formation is a combination of offense and defense, and the exposed spear can fully kill the enemy. The enemy in front of them was a skeleton army controlled by demonic power, and the spear had almost no effect on their damage.
The skeleton soldiers gathered more and more, and kept climbing onto the tortoiseshell's back, and the shield-wielding Xuanjia army was overwhelmed, almost sitting on the ground and forcibly supporting the iron shield.
Li Siye and more than a dozen guards stood in the center of the array, slashing and killing the skeleton soldiers who rushed over, while looking at Guo Yan not far away.
This change in the form of the demon array made these skeleton soldiers regain some of their consciousness before they were alive, and they had to beware that they had the ability to cooperate with the legion. And their command center is likely to be Guo Yang.
The flames on Guo Yan's body gradually extinguished, but the dark evil power flowing in the skeleton cavity was even more powerful, and the black dragon coiled around his body was ready to move, and it could strike a fatal blow at any time.
Although the charge of the skeleton corps became more and more violent, it still could not break through the defenses of the Xuanjia army, and the shields were connected together, like a copper wall.
At this time, I saw Guo Yan urging the horse to retreat, the spear was raised, and the black dragon on his chest groaned.
The shield-wielding Xuanjia soldier suddenly felt an unusually restless feeling on his shoulder, and the skeleton soldier who had killed the turtle's back dispersed in an uproar.
These skeletons actually recalled their horses and rode on, and formed two cavalry columns on either side of Guo Yang.
"Receive. ”
Li Siye shouted.
The Xuanjia Army immediately withdrew its spear, and the shield and shield were directly overlapped, and the adjacent iron shields were connected horizontally and vertically with spears at the bottom, and the entire tortoise shell became an iron plate.
Li Siye and the guards also raised their shields to form the guardian state of the formation eye part. The entire tortoiseshell array shrank by about one-third in an instant, but it was even more solid.
The tortoiseshell formation, which had given up the attack, was able to defend against almost any formation of charges. The charge of the skeleton cavalry unleashed several waves in succession, but they were all blocked.
Once again, the Skeleton Legion's attack was hampered by force.
The strange trumpet sounded again.
Li Siye was sure that someone was manipulating these corpses nearby, but he couldn't find the hiding place of the man.
The sound of the trumpet continued, and the black clouds in the sky resounded the terrible wails of countless unjust ghosts.
The skeleton cavalry on the ground suddenly gave up the charge and frantically killed each other.
Thousands of skeletons, horses, and warriors collided violently, each striking sending the skeletons of both sides scattered to the ground.
Human bones and horse bones were intertwined, and soon, a hill of white bones was piled up on the earth.
Li Siye and several soldiers in charge of the command of the formation couldn't see why, but their hearts were full of fear. This time the enemy will never be lightly defeated, and everyone secretly thinks to themselves, these skeleton soldiers are likely to change their new forms.
Sure enough, the tone of the horn changed, and a strong dark force fell straight down from the black cloud and poured into the pile of white bones.
Countless bones began to rub and stagger, making creaking sounds, mixed with the wails of unjust ghosts, constantly arousing the fear of death in people's hearts.
The first skeleton soldier breathed the fire of resentment and slowly walked out of the pile of bones, gradually revealing a half-man, half-horse form.
These people and the skeleton of the horse directly intertwined, forming a new form, and the body became extremely tall, as if several groups of people and horses were fused together.
Half-man, half-horse skeletons held bone spears in their hands, and their arms, legs, and feet were like thorns with swords that they used in life. The whole form is full of murderous meanings.
In this form, the group charge of the skeleton soldiers, the tortoiseshell formation is difficult to resist.
Despair rises from the bottom of everyone's heart, and the fear of death is almost twisted into a helpless longing.
The battle has continued to this day, and there are less than 3,000 people left in the Xuanjia army. If there is another charge, I am afraid that there will be less than a thousand people who will survive, and they will soon be slaughtered by these half-man, half-horse corpses.
Li Siye touched the wound on his chest, and the desire to fight to the death was stronger than any previous battle.
"I died before I got out of the school, but it's a pity that the Xuanjia Army, which the prince worked so hard to manage, has not exterminated the anti-thieves, but it was destroyed in the hands of Lao Li. It hurts—it hurts—"
"Death—"
A long whistle is the order of the final battle to the death.
The Xuanjia army under the tortoiseshell had already realized that they would die, and they were even more enthusiastic when they heard the boss's roar.
The last trick of the tortoiseshell formation is to suddenly move the shield to expose enough gaps after the enemy army rushes on the turtle's back, so that the enemy or horse will fall into the gap and jam the legs and feet, and then cut it off with a short knife.
Although this method of fighting is incomparably strong, when encountering a cavalry assault, due to the weight of men and horses, suddenly opening the shield will cause the supporting force to be drastically reduced, and the formation can be easily destroyed. Unable to withstand the next powerful onslaught.
It's a way of playing that ends together.
A manic dragon groan pierced the sky.
A corpse general surrounded by black dragon qi took the lead in urging the horse to gallop, and the horse rumbled, and the corpse soldiers on the battlefield suddenly swarmed and rushed to the last line of defense of the Xuanjia Army.
Just as Li Siye was about to meet the last fight in his life, he suddenly heard the roar of thousands of galloping horses behind him.
Two iron horse chain heavy cavalry rushed out from the two wings of the Xuanjia Army, directly hitting the half-human and half-horse skeleton corps.
Looking at the banner behind him, it was the king of Jianning who led the Zhulu Jiedu envoy to come to the rescue. Li Qi sat firmly in the middle army, and his resolute face showed the majesty of a ghostly man.
When Li Siye saw this, he couldn't hide the gratitude and tragedy in his heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The iron horse chain heavy cavalry is the proud work of Li Qi, the king of Jianning, both the armor of the soldiers and horses is thicker than that of the ordinary cavalry, there is almost no exposure on the body to attack, the horses are connected by heavy iron chains, and each soldier is only equipped with a mace iron rod.
Such heavy cavalry relied purely on its own weight and brute strength to charge the enemy legions, which was completely ingenious.
Under the flanking and collision of the two heavy cavalry, the skeleton corps suffered heavy losses again.
However, although the iron horse heavy cavalry is fierce and invincible, it has little mobility, and once it falls into a stalemate, it will lose its advantage and even be slaughtered.
Of course, Li Siye understood this, and seeing that the iron horse heavy cavalry and the skeleton army were strangled together, he immediately shouted "Solve - attack - "
The Xuanjia Army immediately lifted the tortoiseshell formation and rushed towards the skeleton corps.
* War drums thunder.
Two specially trained flying ape battalions galloped in.
This is an infantry battalion specially trained to match the fighting style of iron horses and heavy cavalry, in addition to wearing light armor, the sergeants are also known for their movement and jumping, and they are flexible. Not only can you kill the enemy with a sword to fully annihilate the enemy, but you can also rescue the heavy cavalry who are stuck in time to reduce your own damage.
"Chop off the horse's legs. ”
"Chop up their skeletons. ”
"Don't be afraid, chop them up, and they won't be able to fight. ”
The battle was reversed in vain, and the Xuanjia army was full of blood one by one, cheering at the compatriots of the Flying Ape Battalion as they fought.
Li Siye was trapped in the battle group, constantly looking for the corpse general who was surrounded by black dragon qi. Although he had changed his form, he could still conclude that it was Guo Yang.
"You have to be careful with him. ”
Looking at each other, the tall and mighty corpse general also stared at him from the back of the battle circle.
Li Siye just wanted to step forward to meet the battle, but saw it suddenly rush up, past the chaotic crowd, and go straight to the rear of the Chinese army.
"It's not good, it's aimed at the prince. ”
Guo Yang, who turned into a corpse general, went straight to King Jianning under Shuaizi.
At this moment, King Jianning was only more than five hundred steps away from the battle circle, and the iron horse heavy cavalry had already poured out, and the crossbow arrows had no killing effect on it at all.
Moreover, this guy is more than three zhang tall, and ordinary shield arrays and knife carts can't stop it at all.
Dozens of guards swarmed out to protect King Jianning's car, but they were like mantis arms as a car.
"Broken—"
Just when everyone was anxious and helpless, an angry shout came from the top of their heads, resounding in the sky.
Immediately after that, there was a throbbing sound under his feet, and a statue of Vajra clay broke through the ground, holding the galloping corpse and sealing its way.
A huge Jinpeng bird fell to the ground and disappeared, revealing three people.
King Jianning and Guo Ziyi sat on their horses and couldn't stop looking at the people who came.
One of them was wearing a Qianniuwei uniform, and it could be seen that he was from Chang'an, and the other two didn't know each other, so they didn't know why.
Qianniuwei and another fox fur guest went to the front to meet the enemy, but the young man who looked like a family man walked straight towards the handsome flag.
As soon as he raised his hand, he showed a gold medal, and drank back the guards who stepped forward to stop him, and everyone could see that it was the gold medal of the Guangping Palace.
Although he is dressed in clothes, his behavior is very generous and free, and his confidence reveals a little perverseness.
The young man came to King Jianning's car and knelt down to bow down, and a jade plaque was revealed on his waist between kneeling, and King Jianning was surprised and delighted: "It's you—"
The young man grimaced, made a "stop" gesture, and happily got up and snuggled up to King Jianning's horse.
"Well, if it weren't for today's situation, you wouldn't have bowed to this king obediently. ”
King Jianning laughed loudly and leaned over to twist the young man's face. And he hastened to have horses found and mounted with him, that he might be safe.
The person who came was the lord of Shengping, Guo Xuan, and Dugu Huan. It's just that the three of them are all easy to act, and it's inconvenient to explain anything at the moment.
"Lord Wang, the enemy's formation is called the Nine Dragons Soul Devouring Array, also known as the Yin and Yang Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul Locking Array, it is very yin and evil, and there are many form changes, those who are not born or die can not be killed at all, and ordinary soldiers fighting against them are just adding to the casualties, well, you see that my two friends are proficient in Qimen Mathematics and Esoteric Sect Method, and they will definitely be able to help Wang Ye break this formation, and please ask Wang Ye Mingjin to collect his troops and withdraw the soldiers on the front line. ”
