Chapter 69: Sniping the Enemy General Again
The right wing of the Shentang Army, Wu Feng's department.
In the course of the march, the thick eight-gate golden lock formation has successfully transformed into a geese-shaped formation suitable for encirclement, with the crossbowmen in front and the foot soldiers in the rear, closing in on the enemy again.
"It's a pity that I can't beat Long Aotian with a blue nose and swollen face in person. Luo Tingyu said with a smile: "I still remember the way he hugged his head and ran around." β
Listening to the sound of golden drums and the roar of the hunting wind on the battlefield, this handsome young man suddenly remembered the scene of Long Aotian being forced to flee in embarrassment on that snowy night in the northern grassland.
The forces in the middle of the steppe are known as the Golden Horde. At that time, Wu Feng, Luo Tingyu and others recruited heroic young men on the grassland to accompany them, and had a certain amount of power within the territory of the Golden Horde.
At that time, Long Aotian, who was only the fifth son of Shenxiao, passed through the grassland and intervened in the internal strife of the grassland, hoping to grab benefits. Wu Feng and others also hope to protect and even further expand their interests in the grassland.
In the coup d'Γ©tat of the Golden Horde, Wu Feng and Long Aotian supported different factions, but after some calculations and battles, Long Aotian was beaten and fled.
However, this time, Wu Feng and the others did not have the opportunity to directly fight Long Aotian, who had become the lord of Jingzhou.
Their task was to attack the Three Rivers Army and the rear army of the Shenxiao Army from two different directions from the east and west with Su Can's Department on the left flank of the Shentang Army.
In addition, Su Mengzhen also detached a small number of troops from the Chinese army to come down from the north, forming a pocket formation surrounded on three sides.
Wu Feng patted Luo Tingyu on the shoulder, but his expression became calm: "Dog, don't take it lightly." Our task is no easier than facing Long Aotian. β
"Gu Taineng's Shenxiao Army's rear army is the most elite combat power of Shenxiao, and it was originally used to give our Shentang Army a fatal blow. β
Wu Feng paused, his eyes were solemn, and he continued: "Among the Four Heavenly Kings of Shenxiao, Gu Taineng's ranking is still above Chiguijing Naosheng, and it is definitely not easy to match. β
"If we can't trap each other and make them break through our encirclement, the encirclement in the direction of the hall master may also fail, leading to the terrible result of the collapse of the entire army. β
Hearing Wu Feng's words, Luo Tingyu shuddered suddenly.
"So serious?"
Although he was only acting before, Luo Tingyu could see Jing Zhisheng's methods clearly, and it was far from what he could compare with now.
Wu Feng stopped talking, just nodded.
The closer you are to victory, the more you can't take it lightly. The so-called carelessness will lead to a loss.
Wu Feng never underestimated Long Aotian's strength.
But Long Aotian will be more or less inferior to the enemy.
This was true on the steppe back then, and it was so in this war.
It is inevitable that a side with superior forces will underestimate the enemy. Even if the commander and the generals do not underestimate the enemy, the soldiers cannot avoid underestimating the enemy.
The breakthrough in this battle was the light enemy of Jing Zhisheng's cavalry, and Long Aotian's blind trust in Jing Zhisheng's ability.
Among Wu Feng's followers, Luo Tingyu is known for being smart and capable, but he is also similar to Wu Feng, with a bit of flying nature, so he has a great appetite for Wu Feng.
At this critical time, Wu Feng must teach Luo Tingyu that when he should be cautious, he must not be the slightest bit lazy and relaxed.
The little goblin Qi Qi smiled at Wu Feng and said, "Qi'er believes that since he is the host of the big boss, he has nothing to fear, and he will definitely be able to kill the enemy without leaving a single piece of armor." β
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a misty look.
Although this little girl has been sentenced to ownership by Miss Xue, she still seems to be very interested in Wu Feng.
Wu Feng returned a soft look and did not answer.
In Wu Feng's eyes, Qi Qi is just a follower in the end.
Ji Hongyan looked at the two of them and snorted coldly.
She was obviously very dissatisfied with this suspected flirting behavior.
The night was dark, and the north wind was tighter.
Torches have been lit on either side, and the light of the fire flutters in the wind like a brilliant sea of fire.
In front of the goose-shaped formation, the soldiers at the edge of Gu Taineng's formation had already entered the range of the bow and crossbow.
Wu Feng's eyes were like lightning, and as soon as he gave an order, the arrows were thrown into the enemy formation like dense rain.
In the heat of battle, because of the dense number of soldiers and the rapid change of position, the task of the crossbowmen is not to ensure the accuracy of individual shots, but to ensure that each detachment shoots the maximum number of arrows into a certain area within a certain amount of time.
This is especially evident in siege warfare, where it is also emphasized in field warfare.
Su Mengzhen is good at managing money, and Shentang is known for its wealth. The archers and crossbowmen in the temple are all relatively expensive standard composite bows and steel crossbows, and because of the uniform specifications and similar ranges, the soldiers can be more and more uniform when they use them, and the blows are even and effective, which is also conducive to the exertion of the strength of the formation and tactics.
The arrows whistled in the wind, but the direction of the wind was also calculated, and the sound of the hammer fell, and when the Shenxiao army was splashed with blood, the screams were scattered in the wind.
The rear army of the Shenxiao Army led by Gu Taineng were all veterans of a hundred battles, knew how to evade and use shields to resist arrows, and were also equipped with strong armor. But as long as they are not armed to the teeth, there will always be weak points in their bodies, and under this indiscriminate fire, someone will be shot, seriously injured or even killed.
Under Wu Feng's precise command, the archers of the Shentang Army were releasing arrows while relying on the condescending terrain to approach the enemy.
For archers, the closer they get, the more dangerous they are, but the higher the chance of their arrows hitting. Therefore, it is necessary to shoot as many rounds as possible before hand-to-hand combat.
The archers of the Shenxiao Army also began to fight back, after all, they were elite soldiers, and their reaction speed was really remarkable.
But the sudden attack and the fact that they didn't know the situation of their own army really affected their mentality. Shenxiao Dao was originally known for its strong archers, but the rain of arrows that came back seemed scattered and weak, and after a pair of shots, the queue was actually defeated.
Just then, a bang rang out.
One of the archers squad leader in the Shentang military formation was instantly shot in the head, and his brain splattered with red blood.
"It's ......," someone exclaimed.
"Iron Cannon...... It's not an old-fashioned shotgun, it's a Western iron cannon! That's why it has such a range and hit rate. "It's humane again.
Iron cannons have not yet spread in Middle-earth, and although they exist, there are not many of them.
Suddenly, someone was killed by an iron cannon, which made the soldiers of the Shentang army feel fearful.
After all, the change in the battle situation is too fast, and many people are not confident in winning. After all, it is difficult for soldiers to fully comprehend the intentions of their commanders, and they often do not need to do so.
In this regard, Wu Feng just looked at the soldiers like a torch, and said: "The iron cannon has not spread in Middle-earth, and it is not easy to use, and there will never be many enemy snipers." β
It is not difficult to learn the iron cannon, but because of the recoil of the iron cannon, if you want to pass through the Yang without a mistake like a bow and arrow, you need more talent and hard work, and you need a lot of cultivation as the foundation, and it is impossible to achieve it overnight.
"The victory is already in our hands, there is no need to panic, those who dare to speak falsely to shake the hearts of the army will be severely punished!"
After speaking, he was condescending, his eyes swept away, and he suddenly pulled out the iron cannon, and loaded it with ammunition is a shot.
Space turned into a simple warp and weft in Wu Feng's eyes, although there were tens of millions of enemy troops, there was only one target under his eyes.
Where the bullet lands, it is the enemy's head.
The sniper was hidden in the Shenxiao Army formation, thinking that it was impossible to be located, but he didn't want Wu Feng's eyes to be like a torch, so he found him in one fell swoop.
With a snap, this person was blown out of the head by Wu Feng, and the iron cannon in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, and red and white gushed out from the blood hole between his forehead.
The Shenxiao soldiers beside him stopped fighting one after another, and they all turned their heads to look at him in horror, but in an instant, two more people were hit by arrows in the cheeks, and they fell to the ground and died.
"Come and don't be rude!" Wu Feng laughed and said.
That sniper is a master of Zhenye Erzhongtian, if he directly confronts Wu Feng, Wu Feng can't kill him with one or two moves.
However, the huge power and assault of the iron cannon made Wu Feng blow up the person's head and take his life with just one shot.
For a while, the Shentang army cheered like rain!
"Wu Feng's son is wise and martial, and his marksmanship is invincible!"
"Everyone follow Wu Feng's son!"
The morale of the soldiers was high, and the noise was like a tide, stirring back and forth between the empty mountains and plains, and the morale of the enemy army was more and more intimidating.
There was a lot of discussion in the Shenxiao Army array.
"That kid actually killed Liu Gongzi!"
"Liu Gongzi is one of the ten masters of Gumen, the personal disciple of General Gu, although he is not good at cultivating, he has the marksmanship of a hundred shots, and is better at discovering and dodging the enemy's arrows, hidden weapons and bullets, known as 'the autumn wind does not move the cicada before it moves'. Today, he was shot to death by that Wu Feng!"
"This ...... If Wu Feng also gives me a shot, what should I do?"
Wu Feng easily killed the sniper on the opposite side, which not only restored morale, but also brought an atmosphere of fear to the enemy army.
The two forces were getting closer.
The crossbowmen retreated into the line along the gap in the ranks, and the pikemen and swordsmen stepped forward.
The lightly armed troops were arranged on both sides, as the wings of the geese-shaped formation, taking advantage of the opportunity to shoot left and right, and to flank the enemy.
Soon, the head-on engagement began.
Wu Feng took the lead, carrying the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and rushed to the front with several important followers such as Luo Tingyu, Qi Qi, and Feng Wulong.
His sword light swung by, turning into a bright red hot whirlwind, and the whirlwind swept by, also splashing a bright red rain of blood.
The previous bow and arrow shooting had already caused the formation wall of the rear army of the Shenxiao Army to be scattered, allowing Wu Feng to dare to break through in the center.
What's more, Su Mengzhen also assigned Ji Hongyan, nicknamed "Ghost Chai Tian", to him as a deputy general.
Ji Hongyan, who was holding a spear, flew with a spear, whistling like a dragon, like a Valkyrie descending into the world, extremely brave.
Her eyes were as sharp as knives, as if she wanted to vent the resentment caused by being deceived by Wu Feng before and not telling her the true battle plan.
Ji Hongyan's strength, although she only conquers the sky and the sky, but her incomparable courage makes her much more powerful in the battle formation than the average master of the heavens and the sky.
Wherever the iron spear with a thickness close to the mouth of the bowl passed, the sonorous sound was endless, the sound of the giant shield exploding, and the sound of the sword and gun breaking was endless.
The soldiers of the Shenxiao Army dodged the edge and the killing, and one by one they showed a look of fear.
These elite soldiers of the Shenxiao Army, under the onslaught of Wu Feng's troops, seemed to have no power to resist at all, and they were defeated and retreated!
