Chapter Fifty-Nine—The Three Styles of the Instrument and Soul
Liu Xun's gaze followed the Saint Emperor's erratic gaze to the billowing gunpowder smoke that was not far ahead. After all, Liu Xun was not a brave and unscrupulous person, and after thinking about it, he understood that the ultimate purpose of the Holy Emperor's troops this time was not to attack Ruocheng, which was garrisoned by the fortified troops. Rather, it was to visit the Qi army led by Li Fu, the general of the Qi State, who was stationed outside Ruocheng City and echoed the defenders in Ruocheng. The news of Ruocheng's emergency must have been transmitted to the place where the Qi army was stationed as soon as possible. Presumably, now is the trace of Li Fu leading reinforcements to support Ruocheng.
Liu Xun turned around, knelt down on one knee, and said to the Holy Emperor in front of him in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I hope you will allow me to fight, I will only lead 20,000 heavy armored infantry, and I will definitely give them a head-on blow! Let them no longer dare to help Ruocheng!" Liu Xun's voice was very heroic, and the soldiers around him were all strong by his courage, and even the Holy Emperor couldn't help but be secretly moved.
The Holy Emperor smiled slightly, "Okay, that's the case, you can lead these 20,000 heavy armored infantry, and I will order the light cavalry to outflank from both flanks, if it can be successful, this battle will begin to change." Then you are the greatest hero of this battle. ”
Liu Xun was secretly moved in his heart, who said that his majesty was indifferent and regarded others as grass mustard? This kind of gentle comfort made Liu Xun secretly determined, who wants to say a word of indifference to his majesty in the future, as long as he is hardware, he will definitely swear to hunt down that person, no matter who he is.
Liu Xun led 20,000 heavily armored infantry away, and the Holy Emperor stared at his back. This Liu Xun was one of his generals at the beginning, and he has always followed him and is the most loyal general. The Holy Emperor also believed in his ability, originally when he was still the leader of the Feng War Society, it was this general Liu Xun who led the army to guard Dream City when he was fighting in the south and the north. Although Liu Xun is not very old, he is only less than forty years old now. Liu Xun's status in the feudal country is not very high, and his position is only a relatively medium position such as the ordinary governor of Zhongcheng. It's just that because Zhongcheng is the capital of the feudal kingdom for more than 300 years since the collapse of the Nine Domains and the founding of the country, even if it is an emperor like the Holy Emperor who came out halfway to snatch the royal family of the feudal country, he also ensured that Zhongcheng is the capital of the feudal country. As a result, Liu Xun was still able to guarantee his high status as the governor of Zhongcheng.
The 20,000 heavy armored infantry army had already left, and the Holy Emperor once again sent 15,000 light cavalry to outflank from both sides, assisting the 20,000 heavy armored infantry to attack the Qi army that came in front of them.
The army coming from the front was none other than Li Fu, the general of Qi stationed not far from Ruocheng of Qi State, after Li Fu sent two armies to the north and west in succession, he could not control many troops, only 30,000. He left 5,000 men to garrison the camp, and only 20,000 troops were left at his disposal.
Li Fu rode a war horse and walked at the front of the team, and the three young men riding the white war horse beside him were none other than Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao, who had returned to Li Fu from Jincheng and were now temporarily serving as Li Fu's staff officers. Although Luo Yinying and Sun Hao are not very good at equestrianism, under the guidance of Yu Fei, they finally used the fastest time to adapt to this fast-paced horseback riding speed. This allowed them to keep up with Li Fu's speed as fast as possible.
"General, we are marching so fast, don't we need to wait for the soldiers in the rear?" Although Luo Yinying was very wise and intelligent, she had never participated in such a life-and-death battle after all. She still can't fully understand Li Fu's methods, for example, now that the army is slowly dragging the action, they are only more than 100 horses and whips towards the garrison of the feudal army step by step. It was still something that made her feel a little dangerous.
The red-helmeted general riding on a brown and yellow sturdy horse at the front was none other than Li Fu, the general of the Qi State. The reason why he took such an action before was actually a good thought. With such a marching speed, if the 20,000-strong heavy infantry of the feudal kingdom came to pursue, they could easily retreat with their whole body. And if another 30,000 light cavalry came to raid them, Li Fu would naturally slow down and wait for the rear army. It was precisely because he had received the 20,000 heavy infantry led by Liu Xun that the army that came to pursue them was that they dared to advance so quickly. It's just that Li Fu can't know what Ruocheng is like now, so he has to come and see it in person to rest assured.
Li Fu briefly explained to Luo Yinying what they were doing now, and Luo Yinying's heart was infected by Li Fu's heroism. She also whipped the war horse under her crotch, and more than 100 Qi cavalry, under the leadership of the general Li Fu, rushed to a mound not far from Ruocheng City from the oblique thorn, and when he saw that the flag of Qi was still fluttering on the city tower, Li Fu decisively ordered, "If the city is safe, we will return to the army!"
At this time, such an elite heavy infantry army led by Liu Xun was already less than five miles away from the 20,000 troops of Qi State, and a fierce battle was inevitable. However, for Li Fu, this point is not too much to worry about, he has carefully studied these heavy armored infantry before, and even the small number of heavy armored cavalry of the feudal kingdom has not yet been fully engaged in the war. Li Fudu had used some of the Demon Spirit Secret Envoys to understand more or less that if he confronted them head-on, most of the troops in his hands would be defeated. But the heavy infantry is okay, the cavalry is not suitable for long battles, their horses can only withstand this kind of heavy armor and helmet fit warriors to ride on it for a while, once this time is exceeded, accidents may occur. The heavy infantry is fine, after all, they wear armor on their bodies, which has some effect on their marching speed, but wearing heavy armor makes it difficult for bows and arrows to shoot into their armor, and it is also difficult for swords to get close to them in hand-to-hand combat. Moreover, this army has been battle-hardened and has long been honed into this heavily armored infantry team with sufficient experience and equipment. Aside from slightly less maneuverability, there are no weaknesses left.
Li Fu took Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao back to the army quickly. They could all see very clearly the feudal army that had formed a phalanx on the plain not far from them and slowly marched towards their side. There was even a dusty, lightning-fast cavalry force on the left that circled around and outflanked them. The situation in front of him made Li Fu feel a lot of pressure in his heart. He only had 20,000 troops in his hands, and the army of the Feudal War Society in front of him was clearly more numerous than his army, and its combat effectiveness was also stronger. Moreover, this heavy infantry was covered by light cavalry, and it was no longer possible for him to hunt this heavy infantry army. In addition, if the city would be forced by the Holy Emperor and his 20,000 royal guards to stay outside Ruocheng and dare not rashly go out of the city to help them, in fact, Li Fu himself knew in his heart that the defenders of Ruocheng were not enough, and they would not take such a big risk to come to their aid now. To put it bluntly, Li Fu has to do less to more today, and he is still facing the elite Saint Emperor's army.
The army that Li Fu brought out today is only 20,000, although its combat effectiveness is not bad, and its combat experience is relatively sufficient. However, most of their armies were relatively average, and they did not have the weapons to fight against heavy infantry and safari light cavalry. This gave Li Fu a headache, but he couldn't think of any good way.
Yu Fei, who was beside him, suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said to Li Fu beside him with a smile: "General, can you let us join the war together?
Li Fu's body shook slightly, and he set his eyes on Yu Fei and Luo Yinying and Sun Hao beside him, and saw that they all looked enthusiastic and wanted to join the war. Li Fu was a little stunned, he really didn't expect that he originally knew that they were all one-in-a-million instrument soul controllers, but he never thought about what it would be like to let these instrument soul controllers go to the battlefield to fight.
Li Fu suddenly remembered again, why can't this be? The Holy Emperor had already formed a secret army of more than thirty people composed of machine soul controllers through the forces of the domestic multi-faceted and the Sealing War Society. This army, the Holy Emperor has been training recently, and his control makes it necessary for him to completely train this secret weapon out of the mountain, at least to the realm of the sixth type of the instrument soul, and the Holy Emperor will put this secret army into the war. So now, can he take the lead in testing the power of this soul controller for the Holy Emperor?
"Okay! I agree with you participating in this battle, but do you have any ideas about your battle?" Li Fu was still a little uneasy, he didn't know what kind of surprise these weapon soul controllers who had not yet fully debuted could give him in front of such a strong two armies of the Sealed Kingdom?
At this point, Yu Fei actually mentioned this matter to Luo Yinying and Sun Hao on the way here, Yu Fei's meaning, her soul burning ghost arpeggio, can disturb people's minds and delay their attack speed. And Sun Hao's Soul Piercing Arrow, the first type of stable and the second type of frosty arrows can give a major blow to the enemy army. The three of them, Luo Yinying in the front, Sun Hao in the middle, and Yu Fei in the back.
They told all the battle plans they had originally thought of, 1510, to the general Li Fu in front of them, and explained that they were not afraid of death, and it was an honor to die on the battlefield. Speaking of this, even Li Fu couldn't help but be moved by their spirit, and he didn't stop them anymore. Li Fu just said a word of encouragement to them, "It doesn't matter whether you can establish meritorious deeds or not, the most important thing is to survive." Survive to have a future"
"Okay! Thank you General Jiyan, let's go!" The three companions encouraged each other for a while, and then began to take the lead in rushing towards the heavy infantry legion of the Sealing War Society rolling in front of them. Li Fu had a slight doubt in his heart, but he didn't say anything anymore after he saw the fleeting footsteps of Yu Fei, Luo Yinying and Sun Hao. Therefore, he hurriedly shouted in a loud voice: "Pass my order, assemble the whole army, and attack forward!"
