Chapter 198: Iron Float
On the flat road, the Dingping army, under the leadership of Zhang Yi, slowly marched towards Qicang Town. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The marching speed of the Dingping Army, under Zhang Yi's special advice, was as slow as a walk, which made Guan Yu who was following him very puzzled.
Turning his head to look at the team behind him, Guan Yu frowned at his lying silkworm eyebrows, and asked Zhang Yi with a puzzled expression: "Big brother, haven't you been telling us about the speed of the army?" But why are we marching so slowly? Don't we need to go to the aid of Wing? And aren't there two roads to the town of Qicang? We didn't wait for the Tanma Club to come and report, so we took this road, isn't it a bit abrupt. ”
Zhang Yi drew the map Guan Yu they also read, it is clearly marked that from the direction of its Cangzhen to the garrison of the Dingping Army need to pass a three-way crossing, that is to say, from Zhang Yi's place to Qicang Town, there are two roads, Guan Yu They thought that Zhang Yi would wait for the Tanma to find out the information, then they would choose which way to go, but they didn't expect Zhang Yi to directly lead the team to the east, now Guan Yu is a little worried, if he didn't meet the Xianbei people, his camp would be in danger.
"Don't worry," Chong Guan Yu, who was full of confidence, shook his head, Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Compared with the road in the west, although the road in the east is about ten miles away, it is much wider and much smoother, and it is the most suitable for cavalry to launch a surprise attack, so they will inevitably take this road, as for Yide, he has his secret mission, let's go slower, it is the best support for Yide, and now our task is to delay time." ”
"Newspaper~"
As soon as Zhang Yi's words were finished, a horse galloped in the distance.
"Lord Qi, the Xianbei cavalry is less than three miles away."
"Let's find out and report again."
"No!"
After receiving Zhang Yi's order to explore again, Tanma clenched his fists and turned around and ran to the north.
Tanma's report perfectly confirmed Zhang Yi's statement, which made the people who followed Zhang Yi show surprised expressions, only Dian Wei had an indifferent expression, because he had long been used to it.
Is it true that Zhang Yi only relied on speculation to know the march route of the Xianbei people? Of course not, Zhang Yi's camp has a full 50,000 stone of grain and grass stored, if the camp is captured, more than 40,000 people under Zhang Yi's command can only withdraw without food and grass, so Zhang Yi will never rely on speculation to decide the next move at this time, the reason why he boldly led the team to the east is because he used divination in advance and knew the direction of the Xianbei people's march.
"Is there still three miles? That's almost there," holding his chin and thinking about it, Zhang Yi suddenly shouted: "Tiefutu, come out!" ”
"No!"
With Zhang Yi's order, the thousand cavalrymen who had been following Zhang Yi immediately agreed in unison and slowly walked out of the array.
"Whoa......
When the cavalry came out of the battle, there was a golden sound that can only be seen when metal collided, and it turned out that the Tiefutu in Zhang Yi's mouth was actually covered with heavy armor all over his body, only his face and hands were exposed, and even the war horses under their crotches were covered with thick vests, and the only thing that could be seen was a pair of horse eyes, four horse legs and an inconsequential horse tail, and this was the heavy cavalry that Zhang Yi did his best to build, Tiefutu.
The horse armor of Tiefutu is inspired by the design of the wolf armor and the tiger armor, and the armor of the cavalry is inspired by Zhang Yi's Xuanjin battle armor, which is why Zhang Yi has been buying iron and steel from Bingzhou, even when he arrives in Bingzhou, Zhang Yi has to seize the iron ore.
A thousand heavily armored cavalry, according to Zhang Yi's order, lined up neatly on the side of the road, and their eyes were all locked on Zhang Yi's body.
Gently knocking the horse's belly, Zhang Yi gently reined the horse and walked to the front of the formation, shouting at Tiefutu: "Soldiers, you are all the elite of the elite selected by the general, and the equipment on your body is also built by the general, in the past three months, you have eaten the best, drunk the best, lived the best, and received the most rigorous training, now is the time to reflect your value, along the way, whether you listen or watch, you must have known more or less about the atrocities of that group of Xianbei animals, now tell me, What should you do? ”
"Kill them!" A thousand iron horsemen replied.
"Yes, kill them," reaching out and pulling out the Spirit Wind Sword from his waist, Zhang Yi shouted loudly: "Tiefutu!" ”
The moment Zhang Yi shouted out the Iron Floating Slaughter, a thousand iron horsemen neatly raised the horse chopping knife in their hands, and shouted in unison: "Dare to compete with the sky!" ”
There were only a thousand people, but the roar of the Iron Floating Slaughter sounded like a million heroes shouting in unison, which lifted the spirits of those who heard it.
"Okay," after nodding with satisfaction, Zhang Yi turned his gaze to Guan Yu and the others: "That ......"
Seeing Zhang Yi turn his gaze to his side, Guan Yu and Dian Wei were immediately shocked, and they all puffed up their chests, hoping that Zhang Yi could send them to fight.
Before, the Iron Floating Slaughter was led by Gao Shun, Zhang Yi just put forward opinions from the side, and now Gao Shun took the hussar battalion to assist Huang Zhong from the side, and Zhang Yi could only choose another person to bring the Iron Floating Massacre.
After his gaze jumped back and forth on Guan Yu and Dian Wei a few times, Zhang Yi finally locked on Guan Yu.
"Yun Chang," raising his hand and pointing at Guan Yu, Zhang Yi said in a loud voice: "It's up to you to command Tiefutu." ”
"The last will be ordered!"
Slightly excited, Chong Zhang Yi hugged his fists, Guan Yu clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and patted the horse in front of the Tiefu Slaughter Array.
Gently brushing the beautiful hair on his chest, Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes suddenly narrowed and shouted: "Tiefutu, attack!" ”
After giving the general order, Guan Yu obliquely carried the Qinglong Glaive Knife and ran towards the east according to the plan.
As soon as Guan Yu moved, a thousand iron floating slaughter immediately chased after him with a horse chopping knife.
With the thunderous sound of horses' hooves getting farther and farther away, Zhang Yi raised his hand and shouted: "Leopard Tao camp step forward, line up!" ”
The Leopard Tao Battalion is the third battalion newly formed by Zhang Yi, and it is also the battalion in the Dingping Army that is best at fighting positional warfare.
With Zhang Yi's order, the soldiers of the third battalion immediately stood at the front of the military formation, and the three companies with huge square shields stood at the front, but they did not set up their shields, but put all the shields at their feet, and in front of them, the first and second companies were in a hurry to arrange the iron frames that stabilized the shield array, and the three companies reorganized by spearmen, as well as the three companies reorganized by heavy crossbowmen and archers, stood behind the three companies with their own weapons.
From Zhang Yi's order to the soldiers of the third battalion waiting for the battle, it took less than ten minutes in total, and most of the time was spent on stabilizing the shield array, otherwise the shield array of the Dingping Army could be formed faster, so it seems that Zhang Yi's training on weekdays was not in vain.
Not long after the soldiers of the three battalions lined up, the roaring sound of horses' hooves was heard from the north, and then the murderous five thousand Xianbei cavalry roared and rushed towards the shield formation of the Dingping army.
Seeing that the Xianbei cavalry was getting closer and closer to his shield array, Zhang Yi couldn't help but clench the wind spirit sword in his hand.
I have to say that Zhang Yi's heart was really a little nervous at this time. (To be continued.) )
