Chapter 125: The challenge begins
The old man of iron was ecstatic to see the arrival of the master of public loss, although he was also a master, but he mainly focused on forging swords and forging blades.
For armor and ordnance, the level is really average. Now, with the help of a public transport division specializing in ordnance and armor, the two cooperate, and with the effect of building attributes in Kyushu Fortress, the output of equipment has doubled in a short period of time.
In this way, all kinds of equipment needed for Su Yu's emergency expansion were barely guaranteed.
On a cloudless sunny day, tens of thousands of Xianbei troops stood on the battlefield with their helmets and armor, and the war horses under their crotches let out a burst of uneasy neighing.
Today, the 35,000 troops of the Eastern Mengshi Clan, plus the 40,000 of the Jilian Clan, totaling 75,000, gathered together, preparing to use the oldest and most sacred method of the Xianbei Clan to decide the next king.
The armies of the two clans are on one side and opposite each other. In the middle is a makeshift simple altar where Dongmeng and Chengji worship the Immortal Heaven and ask the Xianbei gods to witness this sacred war.
On both sides were more than a dozen nobles of the leaders of the large and small towns, who led a small number of personal guards, who came to serve as witnesses and spectators of the war.
According to the war method handed down by the Xianbei tribe, Dongmeng Haoda and Chengji worshiped the immortal heaven successively, the two looked at each other, did not answer, snorted coldly, turned their heads and returned to their own camps.
Then a group of Xianbei people dressed as priests jumped on the altar, and after a flurry of dances, several Xianbei slaves were forcibly escorted to the altar.
Despite the struggles of the slaves, the Xianbei warriors tied them with ropes. The first priest danced again and then jumped off the altar.
A crowd then swarmed up the altar and filled the altar with flammable substances such as dead grass, twigs, grease, etc.
The old priest stepped back from a distance, returned to the viewing platform, took out a longbow, and took a rocket from the man next to him.
Glancing around at the Eastern Montesson and Brocade troops, the strength of Luck roared with all his strength: "Under the witness of the Immortal Heaven, the gladiatorial challenge begins!" ”
With that, he opened his bow and shot the rocket at the altar in the middle!
With a bang, the altar burst into flames, and the sacrificial slaves struggled to break free from the ropes, but it was all in vain, and the fire soon consumed them.
When the screams of the slaves reached their peak, the armies of both sides slowly began to move!
The gladiatorial challenge has officially begun!
This war is just like the character of the Xianbei people, cruel and direct, without any strategy and strategy, it is a real knife and real gun killing, the winner wins everything, and the loser leaves his life!
There is no need for Dongmeng to mobilize again, and by now, any Dongmeng clan member understands the importance of this war.
"Kill!" Dongmeng roared, drew his scimitar, and took the lead in the charge!
This battle is the first time that Su Yu has seen him personally rush to the front line since he has known Dongmeng Hao Da for so long!
With Dongmeng taking the lead, the morale of the Dongmeng army was high. On the contrary, although Ji Lian's Chengji also came, he was only sitting in the rear, so he was not as heroic as Dongmeng.
"Kill!" Putting down the armor, Su Yu shouted, grabbed the horse's belly, and led the army to rush up.
"Boom ......"
Tens of thousands of cavalry charged together, and the ground felt a little shaking.
Dongmeng led the Chinese army and confronted the main force on the opposite side. Su Yu was in charge of the right flank, led the Kyushu army, and attacked the opponent's left flank. Dongmonzaha led 5,000 East Monzaha troops to pin down the opponent's right flank.
The first to confront the Ji Lian clan was not the Chinese army of Dongmeng, nor the Tianqi Guard led by Su Yu himself, but the first to attack was the Shadow Archer, whose sense of presence has not been very strong.
According to the pre-war strategy, at the beginning of the launch, Zhao Wen led the Shadow Archers to break away from the army.
The biggest advantage of the Shadow Archers is their extreme mobility and long range. It is not good for cavalry to charge head-on, but it is a must to involve harassment in the rear.
The Shadow Archers quickly accelerated as they broke away from the larger group, bringing the Gillette Striker into range in a matter of breaths.
Without Zhao Wen's order, thousands of shadow archers immediately bent their bows and arrows on the galloping horses, and more than a thousand armor-piercing arrows flew like rain towards the oncoming Jilian clan army with a cold glow.
"Ahhh......h
Screams rang out one after another among the forwards of the Ji Lian clan, and under a round of arrow rain, at least two hundred people were killed. Of course, the Xianbei people were not fools who would only be beaten, and immediately sent an army of two thousand men to prepare to annihilate the Shadow Archers.
In the face of the surging enemy troops on the opposite side, Zhao Wen did not panic, and shot two rounds of arrow rain again, and after reaping a wave of enemy lives, he immediately turned his horse's head, turned his head and left.
Relying on their strong mobility ability, the Shadow Archers immediately distanced themselves from their pursuers, and when they arrived in a relatively safe area, they turned over and rained two rounds of arrows.
Of course, the Xianbei people also have archers, but their equipment is not as good as the Shadow Archers, the range is not as good as the Shadow Archers, the accuracy is not as good as the Shadow Archers, and even the mobility that the Xianbei people are most proud of is not as good as the Shadow Archers, so they can only be helplessly beaten.
If you go in, you can't catch up, and when you retreat, you go back and go back to harass, which is annoying.
The enemy generals are extremely cunning, and the full set is always not fooled, which makes the Xianbei generals in charge of the pursuit hate.
Not to mention this beaten partial, let's return our attention to Su Yu.
The two armies faced each other, and the distance between them was not far, and the Heavenly Guards galloped past in an instant.
"Throw a gun!" Su Yu shouted, and the heavenly guard immediately took out the short gun on his back, aimed at the target, and threw it hard.
The four-foot-long short spear flew towards the oncoming Xianbei army with a fierce wind.
It was also an army of 1,000 and 5, and the damage caused by a wave of flying spears from the Heavenly Guards was far greater than that of the Shadow Archers, at least 500 fresh troops lost their combat effectiveness, and even many people and horses were pierced by the galloping short spears!
"Don't mess around, steady, rush up and kill them!" Seeing this, a Xianbei general who looked like a leader immediately shouted.
As everyone knows, he is being targeted by Su Yu.
At the same time as the Heavenly Guards threw their guns, Su Yu also took out the Liuyun Longbow in the bow bag and aimed at a Xianbei military general who looked like a leader.
"Liuyun!"
The Liuyun longbow was drawn into the shape of a full moon, locking onto the Xianbei general, and as soon as his fingers loosened, arrows full of silver-white energy flew out like lightning.
"Don't ...... Forehead? ”
With a loud bang, a fist-sized hole was shot directly into the chest of the Xianbei general, and the Xianbei general, who was boosting morale and rectifying the army, was immediately blown out by the huge force and fell to the ground, completely lifeless after a few ups and downs.
Su Yu casually glanced at his results, and then bent his bow again, looking for the next worthy target.
After such a while, the Heavenly Guards had already thrown three rounds of flying spears, and before they could meet the enemy, they had already caused nearly 2,000 casualties to the enemy.
"Whoosh!" Shooting an arrow again, taking away the life of a high-ranking Xianbei general, Su Yu put away the Liuyun longbow, took out the Soul Eater Gun, and prepared to harvest the enemy in close combat!
This battle was not as usual, the death of two high-ranking generals in succession did not cause a major decline in morale, but only caused a small riot in a limited area, like a little ripple in a lake, which was immediately wiped out by tens of thousands of murderous troops.
From the perspective of Sky Mountain, the Kyushu army was like a black awl, and as soon as it came into close contact with the Jilian army, it immediately swallowed a large piece.
The Kyushu army took Su Yu as the vanguard, followed by the five hundred most elite fifth-order heavenly guards, followed by thousands of ordinary heavenly guards, and two thousand ordinary third-order light cavalry palaces, colliding with the tens of thousands of Xianbei cavalry who were coming on!
"Forbidden Nine Styles!"
Su Yu burst into a shout, the blue light of the soul devouring spear in his hand condensed, and then the spear swung out like lightning, and nine spears that were almost condensed into substance suddenly attacked the nine enemy soldiers.
"Puff puff ......"
With nine soft sounds, nine enemy soldiers dismounted, and their bodies were trampled into pulp by the cavalry who arrived later.
Without even looking at it, with a wave of the spear, a silver spear appeared, directly dividing an enemy soldier in front of him into two sections.
Other ordinary Heavenly Guards did not have Su Yu's strong strength, and dealing with these ordinary Xianbei cavalry who were generally in the third order was like chopping vegetables and cutting melons.
The gold pierced, and the enemy's leather armor was like paper paste, and there was a bloody hole. And the heavy armor of the Tianqi Guard was slashed by the scimitar of the Xianbei cavalry, and in most cases it only left a deep knife mark, not even a flesh wound.
Dealing with these third-order Xianbei light horses with a fifth-order elite Heavenly Guard is like an adult bullying a kindergarten child, killing it freely.
