Chapter 64: The Power of the Emperor Star (I)
The Long River is located in the south. The winter is the coldest in the south, and the water may be bitterly cold, but it will never freeze.
Today's spectacle, for Meng Chai, is no less than the snow in June. Meng Chai quickly got up and galloped away, intending to light the messenger brazier. At this time, there were already many soldiers patrolling the camp who were exclaiming that it was snowing.
The Chu army didn't have Meng Chai's eyesight, they didn't know how fierce this snowfall was, but they soon felt the cold, it was originally winter, and they were wearing thick clothes, but Rao was like this, and the air temperature dropped sharply and they also felt uncomfortable.
Only Meng Chai knew that the goose feather snow kept falling, and this weird and even terrifying snow had just begun, and he didn't know how cold it would be outside Lianqing Mountain in the end.
At first, the water of the long river was a little turbulent, but slowly, it became a mirror.
Meng Chai looked at all this, anxious, of course there could be no such strange snow, all this can be done, only that person!
"Lao Wang! Fight! Meng Chai saw that he came to Wang Hongxi's camp and shouted.
Wang Hongxi was still wondering why it suddenly snowed a moment ago, and then he heard Meng Chai's voice, just from his tone, he knew that there must be something strange about this snow.
"Lao Meng, what's going on, why is it snowing so damnly?" Although he was resting in the tent, Wang Hongxi was always vigilant and never took off his armor.
"It's too late to explain. Hurry up and arrange the troops, this heavy snow is weird, I don't know the reason for a while, I will send someone to investigate, now, hurry up and prepare for the battle! Meng Chai said.
Wang Hongxi exclaimed: "Fighting? ”
He looked to the north and saw nothing. But Meng Chai's eyes were flashing, and his eagle-like eyes looked at the distant scene, Meng Chai said: "The long river is frozen, and you also know that such a cold must not be accidental." ”
It is enough to make the long river freeze in such a short period of time, it is enough to see how terrifying the temperature drops, Wang Hongxi already felt the cold, he said: "This speed of cooling, I'm afraid that after a few hours, it will be colder here than in the northern region!" ”
"Damn, the long river can freeze, could it be that this is the Qin army's means of crossing the river?" Wang Hongxi exclaimed.
Meng Chai said: "The Qin army finally couldn't bear it anymore. But you can't bear it, do you? After months of standoff, the first encounter is finally taking place. ”
Wang Hongxi said excitedly: "As long as they cross this long river, I will defeat them." ”
Full of fighting spirit.
Meng Chai was relieved and said, "Although they have such a means to cross the river, I will also let them lose their troops!" ”
Meng Chai was calm, Wang Hongxi was fierce, and the cooperation of the two became the most powerful first line of defense of the Chu army.
The two armies of Qin and Chu have been facing each other for a long time, and they have a headache for Meng Chai's archers, and this time, it will be a real hard-fought confrontation.
Meng chased away, Wang Hongxi sent someone to blow the horn, and the whole army began to set up.
Northern.
Ouyang Xi was listening to the information brought by the Divine Soldier Absolute General's Battalion, and he frowned at this time. After a while, Ouyang Xi said, "Explore again." ”
The spy retreated, and then Ouyang Xi came to the front camp, and the Qin army was preparing for the army at this moment. For this snowfall of this snowfall, Ouyang Xi only heard a little.
With the help of time to break through the predicament, Yu Ouyang Xi said that this kind of thing can only be done by those wise military advisors in storytelling. He naturally knew that there was no such person in the empire, so he probably guessed that maybe this time the snowfall was using the hidden power of the empire.
And the arrival of this flying snow, for Meng Chai and Wang Hongxi, is like a ghost, but for the soldiers of the empire, it is also very strange.
Among them, only the dragon generals and the three emperor generals are aware.
After Ouyang Xi received the information from the spies, he hurried to the front camp to find Xiang Wu.
Xiang Wu is now dressed in military uniform, and the three emperor generals behind him are the same, the strongest combat power of the empire is gathered here, Ouyang Xi has to admit that if the empire has such a lineup during the Northern War, maybe that war will not be so difficult.
The Tieli people are not as important as the Chu people after all.
"My lord, the Chu army reacted very quickly and has already begun to set up the formation." Ouyang Xi looked a little worried.
Xiang Wu paused and said, "That Meng Chai in the Chu army is a rare talent, it's a pity. ”
Di Yueluo said: "In any case, in this encounter, it will be them who will lose." ”
Xiang Wu said: "So confident? ”
Di Yueluo said lightly: "With you and me, it is the strongest combat power of the empire to gather, if we can't win the first victory in this head-to-head confrontation, the empire can surrender directly." ”
Ouyang Xi had long heard that Di Yue Luo's arrogance was the most Emperor Star General, and Di Yun was not as arrogant as Di Yue Luo, and when he saw it today, it was indeed the case.
Xiang Wu nodded and said: "Among the Chu army, there is only Wang Hongxi, the eighth general of Eastern Chu, who has learned the same military skills as me, and although Meng Chai was a hunter before, his strength is not bad. Neither of them can be underestimated, but there are only two of them after all. ”
Di Yun Du and Di Xiaoyu didn't speak, facing Long Jiang and Di Yueluo, these two really didn't think they had anything to do.
"In that case, when the ice is solidified, let's send an army." Di Yueluo's tone was calm.
It was Ouyang Xi who couldn't help but ask his own question: "I know Qin Tianjian's ability, my lord, this heavy snow...... It's not like a normal celestial phenomenon...... How long will it last? ”
It is appropriate for Ouyang Xi to ask like this, after all, the length of time of the wind and snow is enough to affect the combat strategy, and the real intention Ouyang Xi did not point out, but Xiang Wu naturally understood his intentions. Xiang Wu said: "This wind and snow won't last long, but it won't disappear before the end of this confrontation. As for how this snow came about, only His Majesty knows. ”
The person who is rumored to be able to manipulate the weather, Xiang Wu has heard of it somewhat. It's just that...... That person shouldn't be in Lianqing.
Is it possible to create such a powerful snow and be thousands of miles away? is so powerful, even Xiang Wu, who is as strong as the unparalleled in the world, feels a little too shocked.
Ouyang Xi wouldn't even think in the direction of manpower.
He didn't believe that there were ghosts and gods in this world, and naturally he didn't believe in this snow ...... Actually, it comes from one person.
……
……
The confrontation has finally arrived.
With Meng Chai's alertness, when the sky changed, he had an early premonition that the war was coming, so the Chu army was now extremely heavily defended.
The ice solidification of the long river did not take too long, and in the second half of the night, Meng Chai saw the mighty army, and the black pressure of a piece of Qin army crossed the river across the ice.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, Meng Chai expected that this ice layer might allow ten thousand troops to cross the river, but it may not really be able to withstand the intensity of a confrontation.
Countless crossbowmen have already stood in their places.
The Empire's infantry marched slowly through the ice, their shields already erected.
Meng Chai knew the importance of this battle, any game was about a first move, and in order to get the first move, the empire would inevitably create the most powerful offensive, and he had already sent the fastest herald to inform the king.
That is, Feng Jiang. If this war could not be delayed until the king and reinforcements arrived, the Chu army would have to be forced to retreat, and this withdrawal must be known to the world.
Understanding the stakes, Meng Chai led his soldiers to occupy a high place and use bows and crossbows to control the enemy.
He had already seen that in the rear, there were four enemy generals. He has only seen three of these four people, Di Yundu and Di Xiaoyu and Dragon General Xiang Wu. He frowned, because Di Yun Du and Di Xiaoyu were standing in the back.
This shows one thing, the person who is tied with the dragon generals should still be above the two emperor generals.
"So young, it seems that it is Di Yueluo." Meng Chai muttered to himself.
This encounter, it's hard to fight.
His face was solemn, the first and second combat forces of the empire were gathered, and he was a little worried about Wang Hongxi. If Wang's reinforcements are not available, he and Wang Hongxi alone will not be the opponent of this group of people in any case, and they don't even need Di Yueluo and the other two Emperor Star Generals, and Xiang Wu alone will definitely not be able to stop it.
"The empire is really willing."
Meng Chai bent his bow and arrows, wanting to give Di Yueluo a dismount.
In his impression, although the Emperor Star General is powerful, he has not yet been able to step into the Extreme Will.
The Qin army is really walking on thin ice at the moment, although the ice is already very thick, but the pace of progress is still very slow. Xiang Wu looked at everything in front of him, and his heart crossed to the second half, I am afraid that this confrontation will begin to have casualties. He already had a premonition of what a violent rain of arrows would await them.
And at this time, Di Yueluo suddenly raised his head.
The Qin army and the Chu army are still far apart, and the rain of arrows will naturally not appear at this time, but ......
An arrow pierced the night sky and slammed into it like a meteor.
"Spread out!" Xiang Wu shouted.
This arrow contains the powerful strength of the Nine Leaves Realm martial artist, and ordinary soldiers can't resist it when they stand up for shields. When Di Yueluo had a premonition of this arrow, Xiang Wu had already shouted. The Qin army reacted quickly, and although the soldiers centered on Xiang Wu did not know why the general gave such an order, they still dispersed.
Then, while they were still wondering, the ground suddenly exploded. The ice under Xiang Wu's feet broke open in an instant.
This naturally couldn't hurt Xiang Wu, and it wouldn't hinder the Qin army's march much, but this arrow was a warning.
Piercing armor with one arrow.
What awaits the Qin army ahead will be a path of death.
Di Yundu opened his mouth and said: "General, if we can't rush over in a charging state, such a slow speed, no matter how thick the shield is, we can't withstand the arrows of the Chu army." ”
Xiang Wu didn't speak, he naturally knew that the current situation was like this. But they couldn't charge, under such ice.
"I heard that the Chu army gathers on a desert island all the year round, and the water is excellent, if we cross the river by boat, I am afraid that the river will be ambushed, but now, the river has become ice, and that is our home field." Di Yueluo suddenly spoke.
Xiang Wu said: "Do you have a way to change the situation? ”
Di Yueluo said: "Since the Chu army expects that we will not charge, then we will charge to show him." ”
"Although it is freezing at this time, even if this ice layer can accommodate the walking of ten thousand armies, how can it withstand the rush of ten thousand armies?" Xiang Wu said.
Di Yundu is arrogant on weekdays, but he will not be arrogant to Xiang Wu. Because his mind is to get rid of Emperor Xing and become a dragon general, but Di Yueluo's madness never looks at who he is right for.
Di Yueluo paused, looked at Xiang Wu, and said in a very casual tone: "I said that I can charge, that is, I can charge." ”
Xiang Wu didn't care about Di Yueluo's attitude, but said indifferently: "What if the army is trapped in the long river? ”
Di Yueluo said: "In this way, kill me to comfort the three armies." ”
The tone of understatement is a military order.
Xiang Wu said: "Okay! Someone, herald! ”
"In!"
"Pass my order, send the front army of 3,000, charge!"
Di Yun Du and Di Xiao Yu looked at each other, although they knew that Di Yue Luo was very strong, but this marching battle was not good at Emperor Xing General after all.
……
……
The Qin army began to charge.
The 10,000 archers led by Meng Chai are all real good bowers, and their strength cannot be underestimated. When the Qin army's charge stepped into the sight of the Chu army, everyone was shocked, this ice layer may barely be able to withstand the Qin army's charge, but what about when the arrow rain falls?
Meng Chai could break through the armor with one arrow from more than ten miles away, which was naturally impossible for these Chu archers, but their rain of arrows also had the strength of extinction for the Qin army.
"Rain of arrows! Get ready! ”
Meng Chai shouted, and then he also bent his bow and arrow, because he saw a person, Di Yueluo.
Along with the Qin army's front army, there was also the most powerful emperor general.
"Put!"
The moment the words fell, the front army of the Qin army collectively erected their shields and began to form a defensive formation, intending to block this wave of attacks.
The rain of arrows in the sky broke through the wind and snow, and continued to fall on the shield of the Qin army and on the glacial ground like a torrential rain.
The crackling sound came and went, and the Qin Army's Tiger and Wolf Division only felt an extremely terrifying pressure coming from the shield, and this powerful force shocked them, even the best crossbow soldiers in the empire did not have such an archery technique.
The Chu army was strong.
Di Yueluo saw all this in his eyes. From the moment the arrow rain rushed, in just a few breaths, all the steps of the Qin army were stopped, and they could no longer move forward, and in such a short time, the Chu army released three rounds of arrow rain.
Click.
The sound of the ice breaking sounded, Di Yueluo only saw those cracks spread rapidly, like a rapid opening of a spider web, and after a while, it began to show irregular changes, and now although they are close to the Chu army, they are only within the range of the Chu army, and the people are still on the river.
Once the ice breaks, these 3,000 vanguard troops will all fall into the river, not to mention being shot by the Chu army's random arrows, even this biting cold is enough to kill them.
But Di Yueluo's expression was very calm.
Even at this time, Di Yueluo gave an order that almost sent him to death.
"Order, the whole army, disarm the defensive formation, and set up a rapid marching formation."
