334, ruthless Zhuge Liang

The debut of the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry, although the performance was a little immature, but the results were extremely amazing.

Thousands of enemies were killed, 13 were killed and 5 were wounded.

For the cavalry who cultivated the Golden Bell Jar and had steel armor to protect them, there was basically no claim that they were injured, and the five injured people were all injured by falling from a high altitude.

In contrast, the casualties of the scorpion-tailed tigers that lacked protection were much more serious, and 32 scorpion-tailed tigers were damaged, and more than 80 were injured, basically all of whom were killed by bed crossbows or Zhuge repeaters.

If it weren't for the fact that the other cavalry found out that their companion's mount was dead and fell, they rushed over to rescue him, and I am afraid that the number of casualties among the cavalry would have increased greatly.

Such a battle loss ratio is quite amazing, but Chu He is still very distressed.

Even if Chu He managed to help the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger grow its population and thus get more Scorpion-tailed Winged Tigers as mounts, the number of Scorpion-tailed Winged Tigers he got every year was about five hundred.

In just three or four years, the Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry can be expanded to three thousand five hundred, which is already the limit, so the Scorpion-tailed Tiger King has protested many times, forcing Chu He to provide more meat and golden flame moss.

This time, more than 30 Scorpion-tailed tigers were lost, and more than half of the injured were difficult to recover their combat strength for a while, which can be said to have reduced the strength of the 2,000 Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry by as much as half a percent!

However, Chu He also understood that this time the Shu army came prepared, and tens of thousands of sword troops were able to gather and disperse so quickly, which can be seen to be extremely elite, and the army also carried a large number of large ordnance, which was aimed at the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry.

Now that he can defeat his opponent, his own casualties are already extremely remarkable.

Although Ma Wu was captured, it was a pity that Chu He could not get more battle reports from Ma Wu's mouth.

On the one hand, Ma Wu's mouth is very hard, and in addition, even he doesn't know Ma Zhong's true intentions, this time the 300,000 troops who invaded Nanhua Mountain, only Ma Zhong knows all the arrangements, and the goal of Ma Wu's sword army is only to occupy Xianren Ridge in the shortest possible time and resist the attack of the Changding army according to the danger.

More than a dozen scattered sword armies really gave Chu He a little headache.

The strength of each sword army is not very large, only two or three thousand, and the problem is that each army has anti-aircraft weapons such as wooden oxen and flowing horses and bed crossbows, and it is not impossible to gnaw them down one by one, but it takes a lot of time.

If it can't form a scale, even if it is condescending to prevent fire, it will be quickly extinguished by the sword army, and if it is hard to attack the bed crossbow and so on, I am afraid it will also bring casualties to the Scorpion Tail Tiger Air Cavalry.

The decimal is afraid of the long term, even if every time you attack a sword army, the number of casualties is three or five, together with the losses of the previous battle, it adds up to hundreds of battle losses, and the losses are not small.

The Shu army has a great cause, in the battle of Tongtian River in the past few years, the casualties will definitely exceed one million, but there are more and more soldiers and horses, this time the whole army launched an attack, fully mobilized three million, and it is absolutely stupid for the Changding army to fight for the consumption of the Shu army.

50,000 sword troops can bring such casualties to the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry, and how much damage can the 30,000 more powerful dreadnought troops, as well as the remaining more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, inflict on the Standing Ding Army?

Chu He pondered for a while, but still decided to implement harassment tactics, there was no need to fight hard with the Rank Knife Army, it was quite unwise to fight against the Shu Army with a large number of air defense weapons without the protection of ground troops.

The Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry surprise attack those unprepared enemy troops can get unexpected results, but there is still a lot of danger in fighting with the enemy forces who have been prepared.

The Scorpion-tailed Tiger Air Cavalry is mainly based on experience, and it is by no means a killing or wounding enemy army.

Of course, with the combat power of the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry, more than a thousand martial artists, seven or eight hundred and four rank martial arts sects, even if the air attack tactics are not practical, go directly to the ground, let the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Horse attack in half a block, and the cavalry will attack from the ground, and it is not much of a problem to strangle the sword army.

After all, the gap between the two sergeants is too big, and the Scorpion-tailed Winged Tiger itself is an extremely fierce four-rank demon beast, which is a super army of four thousand, and it is not a problem to kill more than 20,000 sword troops.

The problem Chu He is really very wary of Zhuge Liang, with Zhuge Liang's anti-heaven intelligence, he will never let the 30,000-rank sword army be sent to death in vain, and there will be some conspiracy waiting for the Changding army.

This scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry is the foundation of the Changding army, and there is no room for mistakes, and Chu He has to be careful to guard against it.

In this short battle, Chu He did not capture many enemy troops, Ma Wu and several other captured generals of the sword army were all sealed and tied up and hung on the scorpion tail winged tiger, and then Chu He issued an order, two thousand scorpion tail tiger air cavalry divided into ten teams, free to fight, and obstruct the sword army advancing towards the immortal ridge.

Many scorpion-tailed winged tigers searched for rocks on the spot, grabbed boulders and flew to the sky above the sword army, threw boulders at those wooden oxen and horses, and shot soldiers with steel bows, which indeed had quite a good effect.

The harassment tactics of the scorpion-tailed tiger cavalry forced the sword army to stop and go, and often the front army walked not far away, so they fortified in situ, laid down bed crossbows, etc., and waited until the rear army came, and the front army set off again, alternately moving forward, and the marching speed was greatly slowed down.

As the sword army slowly approached the Immortal Ridge, Chu He received a battle report from Huang Zhong, and thousands of Qianyuan Guards had arrived at the Immortal Ridge under the leadership of Huang Zhong.

Suddenly, there was an incomparably violent explosion, and Chu He finally knew what kind of conspiracy Zhuge Liang had.

A team of seven or eight hundred men and horses remained, and when the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger Sky Cavalry approached, when they launched a roll call tactic against them at a height of more than three hundred, a boulder suddenly exploded on one of the flowing horses, and then the flowing horses actually broke out in an earth-shattering explosion!

The terrifying wave of qi swept out, and the blades of the blades in the sky spurted and shot out in all directions, and the terrifying explosion instantly turned the sword army into a blood mist and pulp, and the power of the explosion was even comparable to the full force of the seven-rank peak god of war!

From the frightened looks of the rest of the sword army, it can be seen that even these sword soldiers didn't know that the wooden ox and horse would suddenly explode!

The flowing horse detonated, and the wooden cow in another place was followed by an explosion of the same power.

The sudden huge explosion brought a wave of terrifying aura, and even the scorpion-tailed winged tiger at a height of hundreds of meters was overturned, and many cavalrymen were shocked and flew out, if it were not for the body and the scorpion tiger were connected by steel cables, they would have fallen to the ground and died alive.

A large number of blades of iron smashed densely into the chest and abdomen of the scorpion-tailed tiger, and the terrifying strength could not even resist the tough fur of the fourth-grade scorpion-tailed tiger.

If it weren't for the scorpion tiger armor to protect the vital points, I'm afraid that these two explosions would have killed dozens of scorpion-tailed tigers and a large number of cavalry.

Chu He and the other scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry generals all gasped, and scolded fiercely in their hearts, and there was a look of fear in their eyes!

In an instant, Chu He knew what the Shu army had in mind again.

What a ruthless Zhuge Liang! What a ruthless method!

He did not hesitate to use Ma Wu's thousands of sword troops as bait to confuse the sight of the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry, so that the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry relaxed their vigilance, and induced Chu He to chase and kill the scattered and fleeing Sword Army.

Under normal circumstances, Chu He, who has an absolute advantage in force, will definitely not let the Rank Sword Army reach the Immortal Ridge, but will go all out to destroy the Rank Knife Army that has left the detachment.

To quickly solve the enemy, Chu He, who relies on the superiority of force, is most likely to engage in hand-to-hand combat with the sword army.

In every scattered sword army, there may be the same self-exploding wooden oxen and flowing horses, and the specific situation is not even known to the sword soldiers themselves, let alone Chu He.

It was at an altitude of 300 meters that two huge explosions brought serious injuries to the Changding army of dozens of scorpion-tailed tiger mounts, and two cavalrymen were killed.

It is conceivable that once the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry approaches the hand-to-hand combat of the Rank Knife Army, the Wooden Ox Flowing Horse suddenly detonates, which will bring terrifying casualties to the Scorpion-Tailed Tiger Air Cavalry!

Chu He didn't know how these wooden oxen and flowing horses were detonated, maybe there were dead soldiers hidden in them, or maybe they were detonated by talismans, but there was no accident, they would definitely detonate when the scorpion-tailed winged tiger approached.

If it weren't for the boulder inadvertently blowing up this drifting horse and detonating it, Chu He wouldn't have known Zhuge Liang's vicious scheme!

Of course, such a terrifying self-exploding wooden cow flowing horse, Chu He believes that Zhuge Liang can't take out much, and the preciousness is probably no less than that of the six-grade divine soldier Wenbao.

Chu He didn't know if the rest of the sword army had self-exploding wooden oxen and flowing horses, but he definitely didn't dare to gamble.

The sword army scattered and marched, and the self-explosion of this army did not affect the other sword soldiers. Even if they found that there was an earth-shattering movement here, they would only think that Chu He had killed the friendly army by some ruthless means, and they would never know that it was Zhuge Liang's handiwork!

The sudden change made Chu He suddenly struggling.

This time, the scorpion-tailed tiger cavalry did not dare to approach the sword army anymore, so they could only continue to kill and injure the enemy army at a high altitude, and Chu He even ordered the cavalry not to attack the wooden ox and the horse, to see if they could obtain a self-exploding wooden ox and horse, and figure out the secret.

At the same time, Chu He hurriedly sent a message to Huang Zhong, informing him of the self-explosion of the wooden ox and flowing horse, and ordered the Qianyuan Guard not to easily press the army to fight against the sword army, and to use the crossbow and steel bow to kill the enemy from a distance!

Zhuge Liang's move was really vicious, and it suddenly made the Changding army, which had incomparably strong hand-to-hand combat power, restrain his hands and feet.

Looking at Chu He, whose face was uncertain, Deng Zitao hesitated for a moment, and said with some puzzlement: "Lord, even if the Shu army forces our army to not dare to fight with it with its self-exploding wooden ox and flowing horse, but with the advantage of our army's steel bow and occupies the terrain advantage of Xianrenling, it is impossible for the Shu army to attack from afar, at best, it is to kill and injure our soldiers and horses with the remaining bed crossbows and Zhuge crossbows." ”

"Once the Shu army gathers up, no matter how vicious Zhuge Liang is, he is afraid that he will not dare to detonate the wooden oxen and flowing horses in the tens of thousands of troops, and our air cavalry only needs to keep shooting the enemy in the sky, throwing boulders and fire oil, etc., and can always slowly consume the Shu army to death. ”

Chu He pondered for a while with a calm face, and finally shook his head: "Zhuge Liang will not just expect a few self-detonation wooden oxen and flowing horses to be able to deal with our army, there must be other ruthless methods!"

"Zitao, you lead the third squadron, the speed is approaching most of the Shu army, detecting the movements of the Shu army, and at the same time, a part of the cavalry is divided, investigating the situation everywhere, and if you find any problems, immediately report to the commander, there must be no mistakes!"

Deng Zitao also knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately led the order to lead the five hundred scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry to leave quickly.

A cold light flashed in Chu He's eyes, and he did not continue to pursue the remaining sword army, leading the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry to join Huang Zhong.

Under the killing and interference of the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Sky Cavalry, the 50,000-rank sword army reached the foot of the Immortal Ridge, and there were only more than 13,000 people left, and there were quite a few kinds of weapons such as bed crossbows, which were 500.

Ma Wu was captured, and the deputy general Gao Ren took over the command, who was also a six-rank cultivator, and his military quality was also good, and he was the general of Bazhou Zheng Sipin Jin Wuwei.

Seeing the scorpion-tailed tiger air cavalry that had always been like a bone appendage suddenly leaving, Gao Ren couldn't help but be very surprised, and couldn't understand why the Changding army, which obviously had the absolute upper hand, didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the two high-altitude ground troops launched an offensive at the same time to kill the sword army.

The original strategy could no longer be carried out, and the Immortal Ridge was occupied by the Changding Army, looking at the steel army with only thousands of soldiers and horses, but all of them were covered with steel armor, Gao Ren understood that it was impossible for the Sword Army to attack the Immortal Ridge and occupy important places.

In desperation, Gao Ren had no choice but to gather a large army, stationed in Lujiao Ridge, ten miles away from Xianren Ridge, and arranged a defensive line with wooden oxen and flowing horses and mountain rock logs to strictly prevent the attack of the Changding army, and summoned the remaining generals to discuss the military, and at the same time sent a messenger to inform Ma Zhong of the situation.

Ma Zhong received the battle report, his face was extremely solemn, and after a long time, he handed the battle report to the rest of the generals, and after exhaling deeply, he said in a deep voice: "This Changding army really lives up to its reputation, two thousand scorpion tail tiger cavalry, killed more than 10,000 sword soldiers, and its own casualties are less than 100!"

The lupine scribe frowned slightly: "The Changding army is so powerful? Two thousand scorpion tail tiger air cavalry can kill more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of our sword army, and their own casualties are less than 100? How is this possible?"

Ma Zhong smiled bitterly: "The Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger is a four-grade fierce beast, according to the battle report, its knights are all in the third- and fourth-grade realm, and they have the help of steel soldiers, even if the sword army is the elite of our army, it is difficult to compete with the Scorpion Tail Winged Tiger Air Cavalry." ”

Another black-faced tiger-eyed general suddenly said in a deep voice: "Marshal Ma, since you know that the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry is so powerful, why did you let the Sword Rank Army rush to the Immortal Ridge first?

Although this black-faced tiger-eyed general is not the main general of the 300,000 army, there is Li Yan, a scholar who is standing behind him, and he can be said to be a strong backer, and he is regarded as the overseer in the army, and he is not afraid of Ma Zhong, the subordinate governor, and his tone is obviously full of reproach.

"Moreover, the Rank Knife Army has thousands of wooden oxen and horses, many bed crossbows, and thousands of crossbows, even if the Scorpion Tail Wing Tiger Air Cavalry is strong, it can't resist the power of the bed crossbow, why do you kill less than a hundred?"

"The Changding Army can destroy the Rank Sword Army, why would it let more than 10,000 rank Sword Army reach the Immortal Ridge, is there another conspiracy?"
