Chapter 60 Riding a horse across the cliff and bending a bow to shoot Hu Yuezhong
Red Moon City is almost unable to hold it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This Great Qi has just been established for less than a year, and the fortress city with 30,000 soldiers has been besieged by the army of Blue Wolf Fort for three months, and now it has finally reached the final moment.
The military situation is urgent, Daqi sent tens of thousands of reinforcements, and the Blue Wolf Fort was not far behind, and also sent the elite of the Ten Thousand Beast Army, the Red Wolf Battalion came to help, the Red Wolf Battalion was the cavalry led by Baturu, the first master of the former Mobei, this army was only four thousand people, all riding the Youyun Youyun Iron Ox, although they lost the advantage of coming and going like the wind, but launched a charge, even the cavalry killers of the Modao Battalion of the Mo Dao Battalion, which are all masters of the Jindan Realm, have to retreat, such as the Fifth Patrol Battalion stationed in Red Moon City, which is composed of ordinary foot soldiers of the Xuan Sense Realm, the best way at this time is to disperse and retreat, and the confrontation in array is completely a mantis arm as a carγ
Red Moon City was about to be breached soon, and the soldiers who were lined up behind the city walls all felt breathless in this solemn and oppressive atmosphere. However, with the military order in hand, whoever dares to take half a step back will immediately die under the butcher's knife of his companions
This kind of order was not given because Chen Qingliang, the commander of the fifth battalion of the patrol, was stupid, but because he must not retreat now. Two months ago, the Horqin battalion of the Ten Thousand Beast Army of the Blue Wolf Fort captured Feisha City on a large scale, and the Great Qi side suffered heavy losses, in order to keep the forward position of the Red Moon City, the military department specially ordered to build a military fortress behind the Red Moon City, although the fortifications have not yet started, but the artillery battalion has transported more than 300 Shenwu cannons that can lock the enemy's figure.
A Shenwu cannon weighs 1,000 catties, and now the road is muddy in the rainstorm, and it can't be transported with this rush.
If this is a step back and let the Ten Thousand Beast Army of Blue Wolf Fort rob these more than 300 divine artillery, then the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers present will not be able to make up for it, even the Nine Clans. Now this situation is that they have to fight, and the one that can contain the Ten Thousand Beast Army of the Blue Wolf Castle is the Ten Thousand Arrow Tower.
Chen Qingliang, the captain of the fifth battalion, is a veteran who is nearly fifty years old and has rich combat experience, but at this time, he has no countermeasures, he can only hope that a few crossbows in the arrow tower can shoot more soldiers of the Ten Thousand Beasts Army in the Blue Wolf Fort that hit the city gate, and try to delay until the reinforcements arrive, otherwise these horses in the patrol battalion alone may not be enough for the Ten Thousand Beasts Army to stuff his teeth.
"The city is broken" accompanied by the sound of mud splashing from the fall of the city gates, and a panicked scream rang out.
Almost the same as this scream, this heartfelt shout was like a fire, igniting everyone's fighting spirit.
"The whole army is arrayed, and the fourth column of archers is ready to resist the impact" Chen Qingliang wiped the rain from his face, roared, and was full of energy, so that he couldn't even cover up the deafening sound of fighting and horse hooves on the battlefield, and the materialized sound waves shook the raindrops falling from the sky into mist.
The order swept through the entire army position, and almost at the same time, the young soldier who had been screaming uncontrollably was beheaded by the officers of the Overseer.
The rain-stained head instantly flew up more than half a foot high, turning into a blood mist.
The iron shield fell to the ground, the spear pointed diagonally, and the bow and arrow pulled the string sounded
A strong murderous aura echoed, and there seemed to be a vacuum-like silence in people's hearts, and no matter how noisy it was, no sound could be heard.
The inverted funnel-shaped battle array was like a bloody jaw covered with fangs, devouring all living creatures that dared to cross the shadows.
Halfway through, there was still silence
Only the sound of fighting on the city wall came, even if the city was broken, but in order to avoid the collapse of a large area of defense line, the defenders on the city wall still could not take half a step back. However, after breaking through the city gate, the attention of the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Beast Army in the Blue Wolf Castle seemed to be focused there, and the pressure on the city head was suddenly reduced several times.
The scene became quieter and quieter, and the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Beast Army who climbed the city wall of the Blue Wolf Fort were gradually decreasing.
However, in front of the black hole city gate, there was no cavalry of the Ten Thousand Beast Army of the Blue Wolf Castle, the scene was quiet and a little weird, and the sound of heavy rain pouring on the ground became more and more obvious.
....................
The sound of hooves on the hills in the distance was gradually approaching, and Chen Qingliang, who was cautious, did not dare to move his gaze. Looking at the dark city gate cave where he couldn't see anything from afar, it wasn't until Cao Xing approached with his attendants that he turned his head and glanced at it, and found five hundred cavalry lined up in a battle formation not far away. Years of experience in the mixed army, he could see the number of those people at a glance, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Why are there only these people?"
Now in this meeting, the two naturally didn't have time to say anything polite, so they asked directly to the point.
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to support it, so lead the vanguard battalion to break through the encirclement and come in to support, and the left and right middle guards can arrive in half an hour at most. Cao Xing explained. After glancing at the fire burning at the head of the city, his gaze finally fell on the dark doorway and fixed, "What kind of trick is this Baturu going to do?"
"Who knows. If he wants to delay, let's delay, anyway, we shouldn't do it first. Chen Qingliang twisted the long knife in his hand.
Not long after he said this, there was a hoarse sound of axles from the doorway, and two four-wheeled chariots with wide wheels and closed by wooden planks were pushed out of the doorway. Like two big shields, the moment these two chariots showed their heads, everyone subconsciously pulled the bowstring and greeted with a dense rain of arrows, but it was useless. The soldiers of the Ten Thousand Beast Army of the Blue Wolf Castle who pushed the cart were all inside the doorway, and they had no intention of showing their heads at all.
Hundreds of feathered arrows were nailed to the two broken cars in vain. Then the two cars were pulled back.
It didn't take long for it to be rolled out again, but the feathered arrows on it were stripped away.
Chen Qingliang also saw some signs this time. Immediately ordered: "No arrows are allowed, the whole army is arrayed, and vigilance is raised"
"Haven't these Mobei always been like the wind, how to drag on with us this time, there must be fraud in it. Cao Xing was also puzzled in his heart, but behind the door, there were nearly 50,000 beast troops lined up, and now that there were no reinforcements, he didn't dare to challenge lightly.
Fifty miles away, Gu Jianping led the whole army of Ye Buhui to move forward slowly.
It was pitch black between heaven and earth, and the rain was pouring down, and the few torches carried by the team had already been extinguished by the heavy rain, and the whole army could only discredit the march.
However, the front and back of the team are only a dozen zhang, the sound of horses' hooves can be heard clearly, and there is no worry that there will be a disjointed collapse, suddenly a small river appeared on the hill in the distance, only two zhang wide, Mobei This kind of half-grass and half-barren landform, this kind of large and small rivers are not uncommon, a three-zhang wide wooden bridge connects the two banks, it should be very strong, Gu Jianping is cautious, or let the team divide into two columns and advance one by one.
Gu Jianping hadn't looked at the military map of Mobei recently, so he naturally knew that after crossing this bridge, he was less than fifty miles away from the Red Moon City.
The whole army was silent, silently dismantling the formation, Gu Jianping stood on the gentle slope of the mountain, and swayed up with a wisp of divine thought, wanting to see what the battle situation in Red Moon City was and whether there was any need to continue to delay. The terrain in the Mobei area is gentle, and it is not difficult, but when the spirit looks away, he can only see the dark and faint surging evil aura of war, and the situation between the two armies cannot see anything clearly, so he has to withdraw his divine thoughts.
Just as that wisp of divine thought was lowered to a height of three zhang, a little red light suddenly appeared above the darkness of the mountain col in the distance, almost imperceptible.
It is clearly the situation after the monk's qi and blood have converged to the extreme, where can a Xuanmen monk appear inexplicably here and now, and he is so cautious, Gu Jianping's thoughts turned, and he knew that this person must be the scout of the Ten Thousand Beast Army of the Blue Wolf Castle, and he couldn't help but say that Shen Nian locked him tightly, and then grabbed the moon-chasing bow casually, and set up the arrow.
The moon-chasing bow with a string power of up to ninety-nine stones refined by the demon tiger's veins was simply not a challenge in Gu Jianping's hands at this time, and it was instantly pulled into a full moon.
Sou
The cold iron arrow tore through the night, and disappeared in an instant in the col three hundred zhang away, a fierce man hidden in black leather armor was riding a horse and rushing forward, and the cloud war horse under him wrapped his four hooves with thick cotton cloth, and ran lightly and silently, at this time there was no moonlight, and the rain was pouring down, this person was hidden in the darkness and the sound of rain, it was almost imperceptible, and suddenly he grabbed the reins, as if he saw the night on the hill in the distance, and whispered in brute language.
"Three armies have already passed before, and all of the support men and horses of Great Qi should have arrived in Red Moon City, why is there still a centaur here?"
Before he could figure it out, he suddenly heard a bang, and his body was pierced by a force that was extremely powerful.
The blood, internal organs, etc., turned into a mass of minced meat and exploded in the air.
In midair, the black scarf on his face was blown away by the strong wind that was wrapped in him, revealing a dark red beard and a rough face.
However, at this time, there was no other expression on his face except for the convulsions caused by severe pain, and all his emotions were frozen in this moment, and then the whole person flew out upside down with the terrifying force, smashing the flat and solid grass into a deep pit, and the whole person was covered in dirt and swallowed up.
Gu Jianping's sudden action of shooting his bow and arrows alarmed everyone who did not collect at night, and everyone immediately became vigilant, and almost instantly drew out their sabers.
Rolling in life and death for a long time, the alertness cultivated is unparalleled.
"The whole army is calm, it's just that I shot a scout of the Ten Thousand Beast Army of Blue Wolf Castle," Gu Jianping explained casually, and then gestured for people to come over and check.
