Chapter 68: War
Qin Qi is ready, ready to fight to the death, ready to win.
Qin Qi is not a great sage, what he does is not for the people of the Mu Clan, let alone for the five hundred years of the Mu Clan's foundation, but for his only closest relative, aunt.
When the Tu army marched to the shore to prepare to cross the river, Qin Qi had already led the three thousand martial cultivators to reach the shore first.
On the opposite side was the 50,000-strong army of the Tu tribe, divided into five arrays, densely occupied and on the opposite bank, and behind it was a deep dense forest.
Among them, 30,000 were dressed in Xuanhuang battle armor, and the other 20,000 were leather armor infantry troops, and the banner hunting was solemn, and Qin Qi could even sense the powerful killing intent coming from the opposite side.
Judging from the opponent's well-arranged formation, this is definitely a team with strict military discipline, and fighting with such a team will undoubtedly pay a great price.
Qin Qi frowned, the Tu Clan had obviously prepared for this war, but on the other hand, the Mu Clan was thousands of miles away, and they didn't even have an army of their own in the strict sense.
And at this moment, in the face of such an army, a question arises in everyone's hearts, can we really win?
Although martial arts can be used as ten or even one as hundred, it is not on the battlefield that they rely on cultivation, but on the indifference to life and cruelty to the enemy, and the blood on the battlefield and the kind of coldness that regards human life as a mustard are not something that ordinary martial arts practitioners can have.
And 5,000 martial cultivators have to resist 50,000 well-trained troops, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"Senior brother, are you ready?" Qin Qi asked Xu Kuo on the side.
"It was prepared three days ago, I checked it myself, as long as they get out of the water, that thing will teach him to come and go!" Xu Kuo replied in a low voice.
Qin Qi nodded with satisfaction and stood there quietly waiting, waiting for the Turkish army to cross the river first.
On the other side of the river, in the Turkish army.
A middle-aged military general in yellow armor stood quietly in front of the army with a long knife in his hand, and a pair of tiger eyes stared closely at the masked young man on the other side of the river.
"There are only three thousand martial cultivators!hehe, it seems that the Mu Clan really has no army to send!" the military general muttered to himself, and he couldn't help but smile smugly on his face.
"Send the order, prepare bows and arrows!" the general shouted softly, as several soldiers took the order.
Moments later, a phalanx of 5,000 leather-armored soldiers armed with crossbows was ready to go.
"Change to the long snake formation and attack the other side!" said the general, quite lightly.
Suddenly, the phalanx changed, and 5,000 soldiers lined up along the riverbank, bending their bows and arrows at the same time.
"Shoot!"
Woo-hum-huh--
The arrows in the hands of the five thousand soldiers burst out at the same time, and a huge clanging sound instantly resounded and echoed in the sky above the river.
Five thousand arrows were like a giant snake running across the sky, roaring and shooting in the direction of Qin Qi and the others.
"True Yuan Shield!" Qin Qi shouted, first transporting the power of Long Yuan to form a huge light shield in front of him, and everyone else did not dare to slack off, and they all transported the power of True Yuan to resist the rain of arrows that came in an instant.
And the True Yuan Shields between the people immediately fused with each other, forming a white light curtain, which looked like a silver-white jade belt from a distance.
The result was obvious, the first round of arrow rain disappeared in an instant as soon as it encountered the shield condensed by the power of True Yuan.
No matter how fierce the arrow rain is, it is just a mortal weapon after all, and it is child's play in front of these martial cultivators.
But the first round of arrow rain just fell, and everyone didn't have time to rejoice, and the second round of arrow rain came in a flash.
In the same ending, the arrow rain was wiped out again, and when the third round of arrow rain disappeared again, everyone's bodies were already drenched in sweat, although this kind of attack was insignificant, but they didn't have any respite, and the time for martial cultivators to maintain the True Yuan Shield was limited.
And just when the Turkish soldiers on the other side were about to mount the fourth arrow, Qin Qi smiled slightly and shouted: "Withdraw!"
Hearing this, the three thousand martial cultivators immediately breathed a sigh of relief, if they persisted, they would definitely be shot into a sieve.
I have to say that the martial cultivators were far faster than ordinary soldiers when they retreated, and the arrows of the Turkish soldiers had not yet been set, but the other side was already empty, so that the Turkish soldiers did not know whether to shoot the arrows they were on or not.
"Hahaha! It's just a rabble, collect arrows and cross the river!" the middle-aged military general laughed.
"Alas, I still don't know why Qin Gongzi did this extra thing! I know why we can't stop it, why do we have to go up and be a live target for nothing!" Guo Weixiang, who was watching the battle above the city, muttered to himself in puzzlement.
"Hehe, Sect Master Guo, Senior Brother is deliberately showing weakness, only in this way can the other party rest assured and boldly cross the river, but we don't know that we have already set a trap in the river!" Huo Qing explained on the side.
Guo Weixiang nodded after hearing this, these people don't know anything about war, so they are at a loss for Qin Qi's seemingly superfluous moves, only Hua Ruoxu, who was sitting on the side, looked at the young man under the city, and his face was a little more approving.
The Turkish army descended the river in an orderly manner, and just as the first array cautiously walked to the middle of the river, a column of soldiers at the front suddenly slipped and fell into the water.
Ahh
Then a terrible howl suddenly sounded, and at the same time, the water surface suddenly flooded with blood flowers.
And this is like a chain reaction, followed by the second and third columns of soldiers fell one after another, and suddenly the sound of miserable howls was endless.
Seeing this, the middle-aged general's complexion changed slightly, and his body suddenly rose from the ground, stepping on the surface of the water for a hundred steps, and then the long knife in his hand suddenly slashed out a cyan knife on the surface of the water.
Boom -
A crackling sound sounded, and a piece of broken wood suddenly floated on the surface of the water, and only then did I see that at the end of these broken logs, sharp as a blade.
"Stop advancing!" the general shouted, and then the long knife swung again and again, shooting out the Dao Dao sword, and suddenly the sound of bursting on the water surface was continuous, and in just a moment, the hidden weapon that was ambushed at the bottom of the river was completely destroyed.
And this also caused the Tu tribe to lose hundreds of soldiers in an instant.
The middle-aged general's face was cloudy, and his figure jumped up again and again, and he arrived at the other side in an instant.
At this time, the soldiers of the Tu tribe had just started to cross the river again, and the middle-aged military general stood proudly on the bank of the river, looking coldly at the three thousand martial artists who had retreated to the city.
"Senior brother, this person's cultivation is also in the Qingjing, I'm afraid it's a lot higher than you! I think your next plan should be forgotten!" Xu Kuo said worriedly when he saw this.
Qin Qi shook his head lightly after hearing this, and his face under the mask was once again full of determination.
"Senior brother, everything I did before was gambling on my life, betting that God would give me my life! Only this time I didn't gamble, believe me, I will definitely succeed!" Qin Qi said slowly.
Xu Kuo nodded slightly after hearing this, but did not speak again, because he knew that no matter what he said, it would not change the decision that Qin Qi had already made.
And Qin Qi's decision will also determine the outcome of this war.
The middle-aged military general slowly raised his long knife, the tip of the knife pointed directly at Qin Qi, and shouted loudly: "Tu Zuodu Kui Wood Wolf, who are you, report your name!"
Based on this sentence alone, Qin Qi already knew that this Kui Wood Wolf must be proficient in the way of war, because only in this way would he exchange official positions and names before the war, and if Wu Xiu was a temporary general, he would definitely not know these subtle rules of war.
However, although Qin Qi knew this, he obviously did not classify himself as a military general, only to see Qin Qi smile slightly, and then said: "Kill!"
When the words fell, I saw that Qin Qi actually jumped out first, clutching the Tiangong Sword and blasting away in the direction of the Kui Wood Wolf.
Seeing this, Xu Kuo immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Kill!"
In an instant, three thousand martial cultivators followed closely behind, flashing out of the Dao Dao and rushing towards the Tu soldiers who had not yet completely crossed the river.
Kui Mu Wolf frowned, his body was as motionless as a mountain, his pupils constricted, and he stared at Qin Qi's every move.
Qin Qi rushed to Kui Wood Wolf in an instant, and just as Kui Wood Wolf was about to attack, Qin Qi's body turned sharply, and then he attacked the Tu soldiers behind him.
"Hmph! carving insect skills!" Kui Wood Wolf snorted coldly and followed, the long knife slashed out, and suddenly a sword shot towards Qin Qi's back.
Qin Qi seemed to have expected it, and he didn't look at it, the Tiangong Sword flicked backwards, the swords intersected, and there was a muffled sound, Qin Qi only felt that his back was as if he had been hit by a giant hammer, the blood in his chest was surging, and he almost fell under his feet.
"Qingjing Triple!" With just this blow, Qin Qi knew that the cultivation level of Kui Wood Wolf was two levels higher than his own.
"It's strong, but now is not the time to fight you!" Qin Qi thought in his heart, dodging again and again under his feet, avoiding all the attacks of the Kui Wood Wolf, and then stabbing his deadly sword towards the nearest soldier.
And the other martial cultivators also joined the battle group at this time, although the Kui Wood Wolf was very strong in cultivation, but now there are more ordinary soldiers who have just landed and have not yet set up a formation, even those heavily armored soldiers are weak in the face of the powerful True Yuan power of the martial cultivators.
For a while, the martial cultivators had the upper hand with absolute strength, and the Kui Mu Wolf was extremely brave in sudging left and right, but he knew that before the army had set up a battle queue, the current soldiers were as good as stragglers, where would they be the opponents of these martial cultivators.
But as more and more soldiers crossed the river, Qin Qi and the other martial cultivators felt more and more difficult, because the other party only needed to surround himself in a group, which was enough to make him completely passive.
After all, the numerical advantage of the two sides should not be underestimated, and at this time, the other Tu soldiers had also quickly formed a battle formation, staring at these three thousand martial cultivators, ready to deal the most painful blow to these pretentious cultivators.
"Heavy armor formation, prepare!" Kui Mu Wolf fought while shouting his military orders to the battle formation composed of 10,000 heavy armor soldiers.
Originally, the commander of the first army was not allowed to charge into battle, but Kui Mu Wolf ignored that the other party was 3,000 martial cultivators instead of 3,000 soldiers, and martial cultivators never paid attention to the rules of the battlefield.
Before waiting for his battle formation to be set up, he was instantly killed by the other party by surprise, which made Kui Timber Wolf have to charge forward and delay some time for his own battle formation.
And at this moment, the battle formation has been formed, Kui Mu smiled and looked at the three thousand martial cultivators who were still fighting, "Let me show you what the real war is now!"
I saw that the Kui Wood Wolf slowly raised his long knife, and roared word by word in his mouth: "Heavy armor battle formation, charge!"
