Chapter 577: Battle—Void and Reality: The Sun
……
There is Nan Huaxin on the left, Wen Ruoyan in the middle, and Yao Shuang on the right, which is more than half a month after the battle between the north and the south, and the southern army has taken the lead with its intelligence superiority, and the enemy is expected to win everywhere. Especially after the battle of Wangtian, the southern army used the strategy of virtual reality more freely, in the Central Plains, the haunted spirit, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the northern army, its major chamber armies were broken one by one, if the northern army counterattacked, it quickly withdrew, so large and small more than 100 battles, all won by the southern army, although the northern army had cavalry, there was no use of force, a total of nearly 100,000 casualties. Zao Wou-Ki was forced to shrink his defensive line and ordered the three roads to retreat to Ruyang, Xinzheng, and Tongxu respectively.
There is no way to do it on the left and right, and it is really impossible to catch Yao and Nan, who are secretive, but the middle lane is also losing and retreating, and it must be that the general has a high-level spy for the Southern Army. Zao Wou-Ki did nothing on the surface, but in fact, he secretly ordered the people of Hagiyangmen to picket, and even purchased a large number of medicinal materials such as realgar and baibu to suppress poisonous insects, but unfortunately with little effect, the southern army was still able to be one step ahead of the northern army, or ambush or lure the enemy, and won a hundred battles, almost unmatched!
The northern army was overwhelmed and was forced to gather the three large and small armies and legions in one place, not giving the southern army a chance to break through, so that although there were no more casualties, the southern army also drove straight in, and the three roads advanced to Ruzhou, Xinzheng and Qicheng at the same time.
The first head-on battle between the two mid-lane armies has finally begun!
For the Southern Army, Xinzheng had to be taken, which was the ultimate goal of the half-month-long guerrilla war. For the Northern Army, Xinzheng is the last line of defense, if you retreat, you can only retreat to Kaifeng City, I believe that no one wants to fight with the Southern Army in front of the house, so the battle of Xinzheng will be at any cost, and you must defend it and never take a step back!
October 17th, the hour of the hour. The southern army arrived at the city of Xinzheng, Xiao Boss was anxious to perform, single-handedly shouting and scolding, the northern army sent Xue Yu, the second master of the front division of the palace, to fight, and the two fought in front of the battle.
One of these two people is a Qingzhou hero, a demon seat, an irascible little ghost, and the other is a Kaifeng Junshi, under the command of the palace marshal, a mighty tiger general; A good envoy of the green forest is single-handed, domineering and arrogant, recruiting preemptively, vowing to achieve the first merit of the siege, a commonly used military camp broadsword, stable and ruthless, impermeable defense, and must maintain the last dignity of the northern army!
I saw the two of you coming and going, sitting down and screaming and neighing several times, until they fell to the ground with exhaustion, and then the winner was decided! But it was Xue Yu who was even better, and slashed Xiao Lao's brain with a knife, although Xiao Boss had an internal force circle to protect his body, he was still seriously injured and unconscious, and he fell to the ground at that time.
Yan Yunxing urgently ordered the whole army to cover up the killing, saved Boss Xiao back to the camp, and ordered the army doctor to treat him, which saved his life.
Although the northern army is at an extreme disadvantage, its combat power is really strong, Xiao Boss's heart to find people to fight alone is good, but in terms of strength, it is indeed a little immeasurable, if it is not for Xue Yu to seek stability, it will not be necessary to use three or five lilies, at most one hundred lilies are enough to kill Xiao Laoda.
This is also Yan Yunxing's somewhat complacent and careless underestimation of the enemy after his consecutive victories, if he can carefully recall the battle of Lima, even Zhao Jilong, the second owner of the Praetorian Guard, the weakest brigade of the Northern Army, can calmly escape from Xiao Xiao'an's hands, then this is the palace master who is many times stronger than the Praetorian Army, how can Xiao Boss, who is similar to Xiao Xiao'an's generation, be able to fight?
Of course, the heads-up was just a pre-war episode, which boosted the morale of the Northern Army a little, and it didn't hurt. The battle of the large army has never relied on the courage of one person, but the decision-making, cohesion and high morale of the entire army, Yan Yunxing consciously prepared all three, so he ordered the nine army corps to encircle Xinzheng on all sides and attack the city with all their might!
Although the southern army is not afraid of death, its own combat strength is not as good as that of the northern army, and there are no siege equipment, how can it win by only relying on human ladders? There is also a palace front division to transport all the throwable things in Xinzheng City to the city head, and there is no indiscriminate throwing at all, only when the Nanjun army ladder is about to reach the city wall, the boulder will fall down the wood, and do not waste every opportunity to thwart the Southern army. Although the arrows under the city were like locusts, the northern army was almost unharmed, but the corpses of the southern army under the city were piled up like a mountain, and the blood flowed like a river, and the corpses were blocked so that the southern army could not approach the city gate, and there were countless casualties.
Yan Yunxing was determined to capture Xinzheng, and he didn't care at all about the mountains of corpses piled up higher and higher under the city, the tragic situation of the blood river converging the sea, and he didn't sympathize with the difficulties of the soldiers, so he only desperately attacked the city. By noon, the cold sun was shining, and the siege battle did not stop for nearly three hours, resulting in the loss of more than 70,000 people in the southern army, and the corpses surrounded Xinzheng to the ground, and it was difficult for the southern army to move forward even if it wanted to attack the city, so it could only give up for the time being, clean up the corpses first and then make other plans.
Xinzheng couldn't be attacked for a long time, and the soldiers of the southern army all complained, but more of them were angry with the northern army. It's just that the Northern Army made a shrunken turtle, and took advantage of the solidity of the city to make it turn over and be the master, and it became rampant for the first time, which was really unwilling! The soldiers of the Southern Army believed that if Xinzheng could be captured in this battle, they would definitely be able to defeat the Northern Army in one fell swoop! Since then, Kaifeng and Luoyang are no problem!
But it's still that problem, Xinzheng is solid and solid as a rock, if the northern army is determined to defend the city, then even if the heavenly soldiers are just siege cannon fodder, so only by attracting the northern army out of the city can they be broken one by one, and then break through Xinzheng, but how can they lead the northern army out of the city?
Not only the major military lords of the Southern Army are thinking about this issue, but even ordinary soldiers have also come forward to contribute to the capture of Xinzheng by the Southern Army. It's just that most of these suggestions are difficult to implement, and the northern army will not be easily fooled, so the southern army is more and more irritable, and scolds the northern army under the city, shrinking its head and turtle, cowardly as a mouse, etc., the northern army turns a deaf ear, neither sends people out to fight alone, nor hangs the exemption card, but just guards the city, coldly watching the southern army's helpless performance like a clown jumping off the beam.
At that time, it was the time when the daytime sun was the most blazing, when the 17th Army was a step late because of escorting the 26th Army to transport grain, Cheng Zhiwen only looked at the tragic situation under the city, and already knew a little bit about it, so it was convenient to go up to Yan Yunxing before the battle: "Cheng Mou's tens of thousands of elites of the Mingshan Alliance can help our southern army capture Xinzheng." ”
"Oh? Does the alliance leader have a good strategy for attacking the city? Yan Yunxing squinted and asked.
Cheng Zhiwen smiled mysteriously and replied: "Yan Shuai just borrowed soldiers and Cheng Mou, and sat in front of the battle and watched the battle leisurely." ”
Yan Yunxing was overjoyed when he heard that he was so confident, and waved his hand to him: "The other nine legions in the middle of my Southern Army are at your disposal, even if you want the commander to go out in person, there is nothing to say!" ”
Cheng Zhiwen said with a smile: "It is enough to have Yan Shuai's words, there are not many Cheng so, only the Ninth Army and the Sixteenth Army need to cooperate to help." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Yan Yunxing immediately ordered: "Xiang Lingkong and Wang Dao, from this moment on, the two of you will obey the orders of the alliance master, if there is a violation and the siege fails, this commander will not be spared!" ”
"Yes!" Xiang Lingkong and Wang Dao agreed in unison, Cheng Zhiwen immediately hugged his fists and said goodbye, but when he was leaving, he suddenly turned around and said: "There is one more thing that needs to be bothered by several other military masters." ”
"Come on!" As long as Yan Yunxing can capture Xinzheng, he will do anything.
Cheng Zhiwen smiled confidently and said loudly: "Let a few brothers prepare a celebration banquet, and tonight in Xinzheng City will not be drunk and will not return!" ”
"Hahaha......" Yan Yunxing laughed, "It's easy to say, as long as the leader of the alliance can take Xinzheng, Ben Shuai will personally set up a celebration banquet to reward the brothers of the Seventeenth Legion, Xinzheng will have no sleep tonight!" ”
Cheng Zhiwen also laughed, and immediately turned around and floated away.
After half a pillar of incense, the 17th Army gathered in the south of the city, and the Northern Army was surprised to be surprised, and one by one they returned and sent another batch to death, but saw that the 17th Army was not in a hurry to attack the city, but unloaded a silver mirror from their respective burdens, and put the mirrors in front of them one by one.
"Is this Southern Army crazy? If you can't take the city, come to the city to dress up and show your IQ? ”
"What a show of intelligence, I think they want to pretend to be girls, and make beauty tricks for us, hahaha......"
"Except for the owner of the Li Guard, who would be so hungry to look at a group of rabbit masters......" Li Mancheng, the third owner of the Praetorian Guard, has the good taste of Longyang and has become the object of ridicule of the soldiers.
"Shhhh An Bixin, the fourth owner of the front division of the palace, is Li Mancheng's brother-in-law, and the two have always been friends, and An Bixin can't listen to his subordinates talk about Li Mancheng.
"That's it, what is he doing with him, Wang Yuhou, quickly put the tea on the table, so that I can enjoy the makeup performance of this group of girls."
"Hahaha......"
The Northern Army was nakedly ridiculed and ridiculed, but the Seventeenth Army turned a deaf ear, just kept fiddling with the silver mirror in its hand, as if it was adjusting the angle, which was really weird.
Ouyang Changge, the first master of the front division of the Northern Army Palace, and his brother Ouyang Changxiao are the first masters of the front division of the palace, at this time, when he heard the action of the southern army, he hurried from the west of the city to the south of the city, and looked at it from a high distance, but he felt that the strong light on the mirror under the city was dazzling, and he was uneasy, so he summoned An Bixin to the city, and ordered: "Quickly order your soldiers to go to fetch water quickly, and prepare wet towels, the enemy will act like this, and he must be prepared!" ”
"This ...... As for being so nervous? "An Bixin still doesn't believe it, Ouyang Changge is too careful, the southern army can break through Xinzheng just by looking in the mirror?
"It's too late to explain, you just need to know that the commander of the Seventeenth Army of the Southern Army is Cheng Zhiwen, the former Palace Master of the Jingyang Divine Palace, and his means are to ...... Scare! Before Ouyang Changge finished his sentence, a strong light suddenly rose into the sky under the city, extremely dazzling, when Ouyang Changge squinted and looked closely, there was a white expanse underneath, and he didn't know what was going on at all.
However, it was said that Yan Yunxing and other generals of the Southern Army were watching the battle in front of the formation, and at this time, they also saw a strong light in the center of the 17th Army Corps, Yan Yunxing knew that it was Chengzhiwen's means, but if it was only so, it would be difficult to pose a threat to the Northern Army. Cheng Zhiwen seemed to hear Yan Yunxing's heart, and with an order, tens of thousands of silver mirrors under his command reflected the autumn sunlight at the same time, and the large and small pillars of light seemed to connect the road to heaven and earth, the scene was very spectacular, almost a miracle!
All the soldiers of the southern army were amazed, and all the soldiers of the northern army were worried, but this was not over, under another order of Cheng Zhiwen, all the pillars of light gathered at the same time to the most powerful pillar of light in the center of the array, and at the moment when the light source converged into a point, the center of the array seemed to condense into a big sun, and even the real sun was far from being as radiant, blazing!
Although the soldiers of the southern army could not resist the strong light with the naked eye, they still cheered for its miracle, and the northern army was a completely different scene.
This miracle of the Seventeenth Legion is called the "Second Sun" by Chengzhiwen! When the Mingshan Alliance was first established, Cheng Zhiwen deeply felt the changes of the times, and he must not make a car behind closed doors, and cherish himself, so he passed on the exercises of the Jingyang Shrine to all the disciples of the Mingshan Alliance, although the light of the general silver mirror is far less powerful than the Jingyang Divine Mirror, but it is also a rare magical door in the world, so it has attracted many trialists and masters to study together, and gradually strengthened the momentum of the alliance. Later, Cheng Zhiwen's son, Cheng Qiyun had a whim, trying to gather all the light in one place in the Divine Mirror, and actually created the strongest joint combat technique of the Mingshan Alliance-the Second Sun!
As soon as the second sun came out, it swept across the south of the city, and wherever the light went, the northern army was melted in an instant, and there was not even a scum left, which was terrifying! The dilapidated city walls have become extremely hot, and the northern army is like a molten hell, unable to stand, and all fleeing from the city!
Seeing this, Ouyang Changge immediately summoned the masters of the palace front division, the Hagiyang Gate, the Praetorian Guard, and the Xiangwang Mansion, and all the masters with cards were transformed, and the light skills without cards were hovered in the air with the help of force, and one by one they shot arrows at the 17th Legion Army. At this time, the Ninth Army and the Sixteenth Army borrowed by Cheng Zhiwen finally came in handy, only to see Xiang Lingkong lead people to raise shields to defend in front, and Wang Dao led people to respond to the left and right wings, blocking all the crossbows of the Northern Army, so that the Seventeenth Army could safely manipulate the second sun to wreak havoc in the south of Xinzheng City!
Rao is the master of the northern army is out of battle, and it is difficult to resist the power of the second sun, so he can only give up defending the city, but the city wall is hot, and the southern army is also difficult to climb. It was burned to the ground in just an instant, and as soon as Yan Yunxing saw this, he immediately ordered the whole army to attack and enter the city from the south of the city!
Although the combat strength of the southern army is not as good as that of the northern army, but before the siege of more than 70,000 brothers, full of anger comparable to the third sun, it is an angry division, and the city gate is broken, morale soars, the northern army can not resist at all, was killed by the southern army scattered and fled, embarrassed to withdraw from Xinzheng.
……
On October 18, after cleaning up the battlefield and posting a list to calm the people, the Southern Army completely controlled Xinzheng, echoing Ruzhou on the left and Qicheng on the right, and finally achieved the ultimate goal of the virtual and real strategy - the formation of a three-way army formation.
This military formation is called by Yan Yunxing - Water Drop Military Formation!
