In the fight with Captain Beihu Wan, the dou was knocked away, and the warm blood spilled on his face, slimy, a little uncomfortable, and a little itchy.

However, this feeling was not very strong, and Chen Yi, who was wearing a cloak, didn't bother to pay attention to it, his spirit was highly focused on the fight in front of him.

The cavalry fought in battle, the war horses galloped forward, and there were constantly Beihu soldiers looking at him, and the spears and knives were overwhelming, Chen Yi had never faced this kind of scene, and he had to fight his spirit.

The long knife that was split by the long lance, the two horses were staggered, and with a flick of the wrist, the blade swept over the neck of the next Beihu general, bringing a touch of flesh and blood, and also causing the cavalryman to fall under the horse.

While Chen Yi was advancing bravely in the battle formation, the shouts and killings in his mouth sounded from time to time and never stopped, he didn't have time to look at the soldiers behind, but he remembered to always boost morale.

Maybe there was too much blood spilled on his body, or there were already a lot of Beihu soldiers killed, Chen Yi's eyes became redder and redder, and his complexion became harder and harder, except for staring at the front or staring at the front.

The long knife slashed at his shoulder, breaking through the armor, his body had already reacted, and cold sweat broke out, but Chen Yi didn't realize it, he just used the long lance in his hand to pierce the chest of the next Beihu cultivator.

A talisman flew head-on from the gap in the battle array, and when Chen Yi noticed it, he couldn't avoid it, and the arrow pierced into his breastplate, and his body couldn't help but be stunned.

He thought he was going to die.

But he was still wielding the lance to resist the jungle of spears and spears in front of him, and his movements did not slow down a bit, so he remembered that the armor on his body was bought by him from the family through the channels of the Zhao family, and his defense was extraordinary.

Especially the vital points such as the cuirass collar are enough to resist the second-rank runic soldiers.

Not only him, but his guards were also dressed in high-grade armor, and they were all high-grade talismans.

Since the seventh year of Qianfu, the Changhe Boat Company has earned more and more wealth, and under Zhao Ning's instructions, they have been deliberately accumulating high-quality talismans, and they can buy the talismans of the family that the local clans and Jianghu cultivators can't buy.

After so many years, the wealth of the Changhe Boat Company has turned into combat power, not only has he recruited a large number of Jianghu cultivators, but he and the elite forces under him are all strong soldiers while their cultivation has been improved.

Chen Yi, who kills the red eye, relies entirely on instinct in his actions, and his combat skills are completely based on habit.

Now there was only one voice in his head, forward, forward, kill, kill!

Not only Chen Yi is like this, but the 40,000 soldiers of the Yunzhou Army are like this, Chen Yi is constantly shouting and killing, his guards, and the generals and colonels under his command are also shouting and killing, and by pushing it, the whole army is shouting to kill.

It is not only Chen Yi who is red-eyed, but most of the soldiers who are fighting with the Beihu soldiers.

The difference is that Chen Yi's red eyes are because he has killed enough people, while ordinary soldiers are not as clear as him because their minds are not as clear as him, just throwing themselves into the battlefield and being surrounded by shouts of killing is enough to be enthusiastic.

There were many people who fell under Chen Yi's hands, and ordinary soldiers were often beheaded off their horses by Beihu soldiers after killing, and they became dead bodies under the horse's hooves after killing, or even before they killed anyone.

They may be new soldiers on the battlefield with ordinary combat power, but their fighting spirit and fighting spirit are not much lost to the veterans of a hundred battles, which allows them to carry out Zhao Ning's military order to rush forward and kill.

The more fallen comrades and the more corpses they left behind, the closer they are to completing their orders.

......

Xihe City Tower, Mu Hehua has been observing the entire battlefield.

Borshu is fighting with Zhao Ning inextricably and can't be distracted, as the mastermind of the other party, he needs to command the battle situation.

Before the war, Mu Hehua was full of confidence.

The battle of the army crossing the river to capture Xihe City was very smooth, and the results in just a few hours were very remarkable, and the combat power displayed by the Great Qi army made him look down on him - although some of the defenders were resting, it was also a clear proof of the loose discipline of the Great Qi army.

In addition, what Zhao Ning brought was still a group of miscellaneous soldiers whose combat strength was not as good as that of the Xihe City garrison, Mu Hehua and Borshu both thought that as long as they could hold Zhao Ning back and keep the battle situation of Wang Jijing from being defeated, with the elite of the hundred battles under their command, it would be easy to defeat the new soldiers on the battlefield under Zhao Ning's command.

How can it not be easy?

Elite soldiers will not appear out of thin air, in addition to training day after year, they also need to be sharpened in actual combat, and kill people to see blood.

An elite soldier is an elite soldier, and a new pawn is a new pawn, not that with full of enthusiasm and supreme fighting spirit, a new pawn can compete with an elite soldier.

Cultivators will not appear out of thin air, in just a few months, could it be that in the army of the Southern Dynasty, there will be more cultivators than the army of the royal court?

With these two advantages in hand, why can't the royal court army win?

But as the cavalry of the two armies fought to the death, the smile on Mu Hehua's face gradually dissipated, the contempt in his eyes slowly melted away, and his expression became more and more solemn.

At the end, consternation and surprise crawled all over his face, imprinted on his features.

"The combat power of this group of miscellaneous soldiers is so much stronger than the garrison of Xihe City?!" Mu Hehua couldn't suppress the tide surging in his heart, and his eyes widened, as if he wanted to see through the fog of confusion in front of him.

Although it was night, the battlefield where the two armies were engaged was bright, and with his own cultivation, Mu Hehua was able to see everything clearly.

But it was precisely because he could see clearly that he was so surprised, even shocked.

There were too many cultivators in the Yunzhou army, at least in the front line.

The two armies fought on the spot, whether they were cultivators or not, and what realm they were, they could basically be seen at a glance, and there were more cultivators in the front of the Yunzhou army than in the royal court's army.

Especially the guards around the bodies of several major generals, there is no one who is not a cultivator, and their realm is even more outrageous, most of them are above the imperial qi realm!

In the battle formation of more than 10,000 people in the front of the Yunzhou Army, more than thirty percent of the cultivators were cultivated!

In the royal court army, the centurion is the imperial qi realm, the ten-master is the forging body realm, and the large number of cultivators is the greatest reliance on the invincibility of the royal court army.

But right now, the number of their cultivators is actually at a disadvantage!

"How could there be so many cultivators in the army of the Southern Dynasties, and what was going on with this army, which could not bring together all the cultivators on both sides of the Yellow River?" Mu Hehua couldn't understand this scene.

Relying on the information that Xiao Yan had collected in Daqi before, they had an in-depth study of the number of cultivators in Daqi before the war and how it would affect the battle situation in the war.

Because of the vast land and large population, the absolute number of cultivators in the Southern Dynasties was undoubtedly several times that of them, but precisely because the territory of the Southern Dynasties was too vast, the cultivators were scattered among the people in the rivers and lakes, especially around the big landlords, the powerful and the rich.

Therefore, they believed that even if Song Zhi recruited the heroes of the rivers and lakes, he would not be able to gather the strength of the cultivators.

And it's still so short.

"Being able to gather so many cultivators in a few months, could it be that Zhao Ning began to deliberately gather these people many years ago?" Mu Hehua could only think of this possibility after thinking about it.

But he still felt that it was unrealistic, recruiting a cultivator meant paying a salary, and the salary of a cultivator was much more expensive than that of ordinary people, and the higher the realm, the more so.

How much silver is needed to recruit so many cultivators?

Where did the Zhao family get so much silver?

If the Zhao family had so much silver, wouldn't it be rich enough to rival the country?

If it weren't for the cultivators recruited by the Zhao clan, the only one who had the ability to do so would be the Great Qi Emperor himself.

But if there were so many cultivators under Song Zhi, why didn't he have to go up when he was guarding Yanping?

They didn't know before that Yunzhou was the main direction of attack of the Khan's army, and it was impossible to arrange cultivators here!

Mu Hehua only felt that one head and two were big, and he couldn't figure it out.

There are more serious problems ahead.

If this group of Yunzhou troops is just a large number of cultivators, then it is just that, the folk cultivators are not familiar with the battle formation, and suddenly they went to the battlefield, facing the big scene of tens of thousands of cavalry hedging and fighting, and it is strange that they are not panicked and confused.

The current battle situation is much more cruel and shocking than fighting in the rivers and lakes, fighting each other in small groups, or staying on the city wall to defend the city.

However, the group of cultivators in front of the Yunzhou Army in front of him, although they were screaming like wild bulls when they were burying their heads in the slaughter, they didn't look very sober, but when they were galloping, they didn't mess up the formation and lost their echo with their comrades.

As a cultivator, his actions are more agile than ordinary people, and his blood is on the rise, and it is easy to get out of the queue when he rushes to kill, making the formation full of flaws and becoming easy to break.

It is very easy for the young people and the cultivators of the rivers and lakes to help defend the city, and the tolerance rate is large for defending the city, but the battle formation fights, but there is no room for loopholes, once there are gaps and flaws, and the formation is torn apart, it will affect the whole army.

But the other party has never been like this.

This shows that the other party is at least well-trained!

"It's weird, it's really weird!" Mu Hehua became more and more shocked the more he looked at it.

He also discovered the third phenomenon that shocked him, that is, the group of soldiers in the front of the Yunzhou Army, the armor is extremely strong, and the Fu soldiers are extremely sharp!

Ordinary royal court warriors, even with the help of the power of the war horse rushing into battle, it is difficult to easily break the armor, which undoubtedly greatly enhances the opponent's combat power.

Before the battle, Mu Hehua and Borshu thought that with more than 10,000 elite horses, they could disrupt the formation of the 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers and horses in Yunzhou, tear apart the opponent's formation, and then defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

This kind of battle was fought by the royal court army on the grassland.

No matter how many soldiers and horses the opponent has more than his own, as long as he can break up the opponent's position and crush the opponent's main formation, the opponent will become a plate of loose sand.

If you can't regroup and block your own offensive in the future, the whole army will be in chaos, or it will be divided, surrounded, and annihilated, or the whole army will be defeated and flee, becoming a lamb to the slaughter, to be harvested by your own side.

The most important thing in the battle formation is to keep the formation neat.

But now, because of all kinds of accidents, Beihu more than 10,000 elite cavalry failed to destroy the formation of the Yunzhou army and compete with the opponent's front formation, because their own side is the elite of a hundred battles, which can be called between the two of them, but there are many casualties among the soldiers.

The point is that the momentum is delayed.

When it came time to contact the opponent's middle and rear formations, the power of the battle array was greatly reduced, and at this time the numerical disadvantage was reflected, although the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy and achieved good results, but more and more people died, and they did not have the substantial upper hand.

What's even worse is that after the front formation of the Yunzhou army broke through their elite cavalry battle formation, the formation was basically complete - although there were many casualties among the soldiers, someone filled the gap in time in the follow-up.

"I never expected that this group of Yunzhou miscellaneous soldiers was not a weak brigade, but a strong army!" Mu Hehua looked at the Yunzhou army coming out of the front, there was no contempt in his eyes, and his face was full of fear.

He had to admit that the Yunzhou army in front of him was the most powerful Qi army he had encountered since his southern expedition with Borshu: "Zhao Ning's guy is really terrible, he has just arrived in Yunzhou, but he can get such an army out......

"Is it Zhao Ning's house that is terrible, or is it Song Zhi, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty?"

He had already made up his mind to find out how this army came to be after the war, no matter what.

"Fortunately, the king is wise and has already made arrangements, otherwise we would have lost this battle. Thinking of the follow-up arrangements for the battle formation, Mu Hehua felt a burst of happiness.

As a famous general in a hundred battles, Borshu has its own rules for arranging troops, and will never let the entire army fall into a desperate situation and lose the opportunity to win on the battlefield because of the defeat of one soldier.
