Chapter 142: Thousands of Horses and Thousands of Troops, I Walk Alone
"What else do I need to say? You're ready to go...... Remember, this is a crucial battle, and we can only win, not lose. And also...... If possible, let Qing Yang take them down, no matter how many are left...... Eventually...... Forget it, let's go! Xiao Yue nodded a little weakly, just now the demon power of the three of them was absorbed by Zhong Kui, fortunately, only a thousand ghost pawns were transported, if the original plan was three thousand, I am afraid that even the lives of a few of them will be sent in this moment!
Zhong Kui was actually holding on to the façade at the moment, and he didn't expect that this small teleportation array would actually suck him completely clean like a locust, but in comparison, his state was still much better than the other three, and he could always barely support him to reach the battlefield. Anyway, he, the demon subduing marshal, is not fake, so let's kill it in one go......
Mu Qingyang stood on the high slope, looking towards the open road, he knew that this time his mother and they were going to fight for the support of the Netherworld Ghost Clan, but it was unknown how to operate this matter, but Zhong Kui guaranteed that he would definitely be able to open the barrier and call his elite soldiers to solve the war. According to his explanation, borrowing the dragon qi of the Li family brothers and sisters, the demonic power of his mother, and Zhong Kui's own ghost path technique, the combination of the three will definitely be able to temporarily disturb the turbulence of the enchantment in the Black Prison.
Seeing that the Wind Splitter was confronting the 10,000 goblins that came up in the future, he knew in his heart that if those guys were assembled, it would probably be the beginning of a big battle. However, there was still no news of the reinforcements in the rear, and seeing the black army on the opposite side slowly forming, Mu Qingyang's heartbeat involuntarily became more and more intense......
After nearly an hour and a half of fierce fighting, the soldiers were mentally numbed by the blood and cruelty. Splitwind barely bothered himself, using his long knife to hold his body in the shape of sitting upright on a horse, but nowhere on his body was no longer trembling. Sweat slipped down from his leather armor in large pieces, the cold eroded the thin fabric of his coat, the arrows on his body were still stuck in his body and had not been pulled out, and the bright red blood was gradually deepening in color - the arrows were poisonous, and he was almost unable to support them. But he knew he couldn't fall down, once he lost consciousness. Then this thin line of defense is very likely to collapse in an instant, and at that time, even if the divine soldiers descend from the sky, there is nothing to be done......
Split Wind and Mu Qingyang, as well as all the remaining more than 1,000 people, were all casually glancing behind them, and their hearts were all looking forward to the "reinforcements" in Zhong Kui's mouth - when would they come?
At the same time, the first wave of the goblin offensive began!
The grey goblins were like tides and waves, slapping against the Splitwind and the narrow defensive formations organized by their men, like a low reef swallowed up by the rising tide, the blood-colored waves rolling, and soon the Splitwind showed their heads again. But they were trembling slightly......
The sun in the sky suddenly turned red without even noticing. The clouds on the horizon are as gorgeous as blood under the reflection of the setting sun. In the midst of the dust and smoke, the army suddenly appeared on the horizon.
The soldiers on both sides who were fighting bloody battles on the battlefield also saw the army silently advancing in the distance, but they were no longer interested in wondering who it was, because if they were careless, they might be killed by the other party immediately, and they should save their lives first.
But only Mu Qingyang was excited, he suddenly raised his sword with all his might, carried the handsome flag on his shoulder, and ran towards them with a loud shout: "Brothers. Reinforcements are coming. Kill everyone......" because he was very tired, and he didn't know how many voices he had shouted. The voice is very hoarse, and not many people can hear it......
He felt that everyone did not pay attention to his shouts, so he flew up and jumped on a war horse, and in the process of galloping, he waved the fiery red eagle handsome flag, held it high above the top, and followed behind his comrades. Running in the trapezoidal defensive formation, which was barely maintained, he shouted as he ran: "Reinforcements are coming, reinforcements are coming." The soldiers, inspired by his bravery, heard that reinforcements had arrived. Suddenly, the strength in his body, which was already unmanageable, surged again......
Wood felt his horse suddenly uneasy, shook his head and waged his tail, and looked up to the chief again and again. And the other horses around them were the same, all of them looking strange, or kicking their legs to run, or raising their necks and screaming, as if something was going to happen.
Wood's years of experience on the battlefield suddenly made him realize that there were a large number of troops running at high speed in a certain direction of the battlefield, and for a moment, the triumphant mood was gone, and in its place came a feeling that he was being targeted by a cunning hunter in a hidden place, and a cold swishing coolness suddenly swept through his body.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Defend in formation, defend in formation......"
The goblin trumpeters looked back in amazement, wondering why the Lord had suddenly given such a strange order. The elders around Wood also looked at Wood with incredible eyes, like a madman.
The troops have just finished charging and suddenly have to change to a defensive formation, which is not only contradictory, but also affects everyone's morale. The need to redeploy troops and troops, as well as move positions, is bound to cause a small chaos. What is the purpose of doing this?
Wood's horse grew more and more restless, and almost ran. Wood tugged at the reins hard, the fear and tension in his heart barely breathless.
If he were to charge an enemy in ambush nearby at high speed at this time, his troops would not only suffer heavy losses, but would also have a problem even fleeing for their lives. He knew that his patchwork army would be more than enough to beat the Reservoir Dogs, but it would be too much to deal with an elite attack in a hurry.
Looking at Wood's eyes, which were almost cannibalistic, the hornmen were horrified and blew with all their might. Suddenly, all of a spur resounded through the sky was the rapid and low sound of a horn. Although the goblin soldiers of each squad caused some confusion at the beginning, they immediately began to adjust their formations in an orderly manner under the command of generals at all levels.
The ground was already clearly feeling the tremors. Now even idiots know that the enemy's iron cavalry is running towards them.
The soldiers panicked. The speed of formation adjustment immediately increased. But Wood knew it was too late, for he saw a black iron knight on the eastern horizon, shrouded in a thick mist, riding a four-hoofed and fiery nightmare horse, all heavily armed and heavily armoured, and the ground began to rumble with thunder. They were less than fifteen hundred paces away from themselves......
His troops are now in a north-south formation. If he had time, he would change his troops to an east-west formation, so that the center of gravity of the defense would be directly ahead, the light cavalry on both flanks could effectively protect the defending troops, and the rear army could give strong support. In this way, when you face the enemy, you will be invincible. But he didn't have time to redirect his troops. It's not something that can be done simply by turning the horse's head. The army of 10,000 people must command the same order and change the formation exactly as it is. It takes quite a long time.
Now the entire flank of his troops became the center of the enemy's assault. The flank defense was weak, and immediately after a frontal attack by the enemy, it would crumble, and then the enemy would break through the center. Once the Chinese defense is broken through, the entire army will be cut in two, and all that remains is to be surrounded and annihilated by the enemy.
Wood saw the urgency of the situation, and the elders who were familiar with the decisive battle of the cavalry, and even some of the old goblins, saw it, and the whole army panicked.
Wood decides to lose the car and save the handsome.
He then ordered the rear and left flanks to immediately break away from the army and meet the enemy in a skirmish formation. The remaining 7,000 troops immediately adjusted the direction of the formation on the spot.
Two thousand goblin cavalry will not care about life and death. Regardless of casualties, even if all of them are killed in battle, the task is to block the black iron cavalry for a certain amount of time. This time is the time it takes for the main force to adjust the formation. Wood had no intention that they would come back alive.
"The lives and deaths of all are up to you." Wood said solemnly to the two goblin high priests.
Zhong Kui saw that the other party began to charge with a dense straggler formation with a part of the men and horses, and the main force remained in place, and he couldn't help but show a sneer on his face. This lich is indeed a great general, and his determination to break his arm is ruthless and fast.
If it continues to develop according to Wood's tactics, Zhong Kui may concentrate the main force to annihilate one of them. Concentrating forces to attack the heavily defended main force will only end up losing both. Or face the enemy's blocking position. With a strong advantage, regardless of casualties, it is necessary to kill the past, but the speed will inevitably be damaged, the morale will inevitably be hit, and once the defensive position of the main force is basically completed, it will fall into the difficult situation of being attacked by the enemy on both sides.
Wood is very smart. He wanted to use this method to force Zhong Kui to give up the risk, and choose a tactic that was more acceptable and more realistic benefits, that is, to encircle and annihilate his blocking troops. But he really despised the Black Iron Rider. The Black Iron Rider is no ordinary cavalry, but the most elite warrior in the Netherworld.
Zhong Kui immediately used a horn to inform Han of the grievances and negative songs. , their right flank units immediately prepared to intercept Wood's blocking cavalry.
Wood's rear army and 2,000 men on the left flank broke away from the main force one after another. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they slowly concentrated and formed their formations in high-speed running. After about 300 steps, a loose impact formation of 100 riders and 20 riders gradually formed. The so-called loose, that is, the distance between the front and back, left and right, can be large or small, and does not pay attention to dense defense, but the mobility and flexibility are very good, and it is most suitable for pursuit and annihilation or melee. Wood's intention was for them to entangle the Black Iron Riders, engage them, and slow them down. Even if the Black Iron Rider wanted to annihilate them completely, it would take a lot of effort.
The speed of the Black Iron Rider was very well controlled, and the five ghosts and the happy spider were already gradually overtaking them on the right flank, and the force of a thousand people was gradually stretched long and narrow.
The two sides are five hundred paces apart.
The Black Iron Rider blew the horn of the charge. The long, muffled sound of a horn echoed across the empty field. The soldiers of the Black Iron Rider were silent, all with focused expressions, galloping on their horses.
On the contrary, the seven ghost generals on the right flank with the joy spider were already shouting, and they couldn't wait to step over to the enemy in one step.
The two sides are three hundred paces apart.
Zhong Kui suddenly roared: "Speed up." The sound of the horn suddenly rang out. Suddenly, the whole army was like a clockwork, and the horses were rushing to gallop like madness.
Wood's troops on the opposite side immediately blew the trumpet of the charge, and a loud chant rang out: "Hohoo...... Hohoo ......"
Wood saw a scene that nearly broke him.
The two sides were two hundred and fifty paces apart.
Zhong Kui roared: "Turn left ......" As the rousing horn sounded continuously, the Black Iron Rider performed a difficult collective action on the battlefield that made both the enemy and us jaw-dropping: they turned.
Just like the eagle soaring freely in the sky, just like the river rushing on the earth, the black iron horse on the grassland is like the wind, in the high-speed gallop, a thousand people are like a giant knight, a thousand horses are like a huge Pegasus, they move as one, control freely, with impeccable peerless riding skills in the field to draw a beautiful arc, from the side of the goblin like to fly away.
Wood and his priests let out an exclamation, and then felt bad. Their blocking forces had no way to stop the Black Iron Cavalry, and they had bypassed the blocking forces with incredible speed, incredible tactics, and incredible horsemanship, and slashed at the main force that was still adjusting its formation like a full moon scimitar raised high. Wood let out a wail from his throat.
A few of them made earth-shattering cheers. It's very easy for a rider to turn a big corner in a high-speed gallop, as long as your riding skills are superb. It is not uncommon for ten knights to turn in a gallop together, as long as there are ten clever knights. It is impossible for a thousand people to perform big turns flexibly and freely in a high-speed gallop at the same time, and there are not many places where it is possible to have so many skillful, bold and meticulous knights. Only the Black Iron Rider can, a seemingly simple action, a thousand people, a thousand knights, I don't know how much sweat has been paid to complete this flawless arc.
The warriors hung almost their entire bodies on the left side of their horses, and their hands firmly held the horse's neck, forcing the galloping horses to lean and reverse the direction of their run. No soldier can be allowed to make mistakes. As long as a horse loses its balance due to an excessive tilt angle, causing the war horse to fall, it will inevitably fall after it, and finally cause the left and right rear fighters lined up in a dense formation to hit and fall down continuously at high speed, and they will lose a lot of money first without the enemy fighting.
Wood's 2,000 cavalry watched as they clung to their right flank and drove away. They don't have this technology, and they can't stop the galloping horses. The helpless and helpless pain in their hearts immediately wiped out their newly raised will to fight.
Wronged, because they wanted to seize speed, time, and protect the actions of the Black Iron Cavalry, they outflanked the enemy's right flank like a long snake, delaying the enemy's flank attack on the Black Iron Cavalry as much as possible. They didn't have time for the Ghost Path Technique, and they gave up spell attacks. And the enemy rider seemed to want to use the last bit of strength to stop the tail of the black iron rider that was still turning. They also abandoned the arrow attack and launched a frantic charge.
Both sides contact.
Hiding directly with grievances, the sword swayed like the wind, the paper fan fluttered with countless strong winds, and the goblins on the opposite side turned over on their backs for a while, and flesh and blood flew sideways. The soldiers fought fiercely, and there was absolutely no way to live, either you died or I died. The goblin warrior frantically trampled on the corpses of his comrades and continued to attack. And the grievances are not an inch, behind them the happy spiders shrouded a large area of cobwebs, followed by a burst of tearing and devouring by the five ghosts, they also finally got this opportunity to enjoy blood food openly, although the taste is slightly worse, but at this time they can't care so much...... (To be continued.) )
