Chapter 176: Reinforcements and Formations
In the face of such a miracle quicksand, the cavalry commanders of the Zhongdu side could only order to stop the charge.
There is a land tornado on it, there is quicksand below, and there are a thousand sand figurines hidden in it, and Zi Shuiyang blocked the 10,000 horsemen of Zhongdu with the power of one person.
On the other hand, Xiao Yu fought and retreated, and after the impact of a thousand heavy horsemen was worn away by him, the six thousand horsemen of the grassland began to charge.
Then the two cavalry collided head-on. It must be a bloody battle, without the slightest trick, without the slightest fancy battle for life.
The scimitars and short bows of the steppe cavalry could not penetrate the heavy armor of the heavy cavalry at all, and could only rely on the impact and flesh and blood brought by the charge to break up the formation of the heavy cavalry, in other words, this was exchanging the lives of 6,000 light cavalry for 1,000 heavy cavalry of Minxing.
To this extent, the two commanders Xiao Yu and Min Xing also had to fight and go into battle in person, and the Khan King's personal guard was not long after the army was formed, and the reason why it had not yet broken up was entirely because Xiao Yu was the first soldier.
Xiao Yu took out an embroidered tassel given to him by Lin Yinping from his arms, tied it to the head of the black Xuan knife unhurriedly, and then slowly grasped the handle of the knife, the bright red tassel fell, and looked at Min Xing calmly.
Min Xing was holding an ordinary Zhongdu heavy riding standard saber, and he also stared at Xiao Yu, whose vitality was far less powerful than at the beginning.
Xiao Yu was praised by Qin Quan as the first person under heaven and man, but this did not mean that Xiao Yu could defeat Min Xing, who was also at the peak of frost in front of a thousand heavy horses. Min Xing, the No. 2 person in the capital, has his own heritage that should not be underestimated, dressed in Xuan armor, and has the aura of a martial artist, although he may not be able to help Xiao Yu, but it is difficult for Xiao Yu to do anything about Min Xing.
At this point, the situation of the two has been quietly reversed, Xiao Yu is delaying, waiting for reinforcements from his headquarters, while Min Xing is going to attack, before Xiao Yu's army arrives, eat Xiao Yu.
Although very reluctant, Min Xing is also a person who can afford to let go, although the heavy ride is precious, but when he dies, he will die. In the face of 6,000 cavalry, he did not hesitate to start charging against him.
The two torrents collided head-on and then passed through each other's formations. In the first round, 800 cavalry of the grassland light cavalry were killed and wounded, and only more than 100 cavalry of the Zhongdu heavy cavalry were killed or wounded.
Among them, thirty horses were split in half by the black Xuan long knife in Xiao Yu's hand.
Penetrating each other's formations, Xiao Yu, who had already turned into a hiker, turned around, and a bead of blood on the black sword in his hand slowly slipped down. Looking at him from a distance was Min Xing, who also had no mount, Min Xing bowed his head slightly, and an extremely thin knife mark appeared on the armor of his throat, and a trace of red slowly overflowed along this knife mark.
Min Xing under the iron mask smiled lightly, waved the sword in his hand, and the heavy cavalry behind him began to continue to charge.
In the second wave of charge, Xiao Yu's light cavalry was killed and wounded more than 1,000 riders.
There are still 600 heavy horses left in Minxing.
Three thousand against six hundred.
Min Xing narrowed his eyes, and the long knife in his hand pointed forward steadily and resolutely.
Although the grassland cavalry was five times his heavy cavalry, he could see that the morale of the grassland cavalry had been defeated, and the reason why he did not retreat was nothing more than because Xiao Yu was still rushing to the front line desperately to boost morale.
If nothing else, two more rounds of charges will be able to completely break up this steppe cavalry.
The black Xuan in Xiao Yu's hand was already blood-red. This demon knife trembled slightly, as if it was excited to drink blood, and the evil qi wrapped around the knife was almost substantial, blowing the corners of Xiao Yu's robe slightly.
Xiao Yu handed Hei Xuan to his left hand, the bright red tassel was wrapped around his forearm, and his right hand pressed on the hilt of the broken sword at his waist, and drew the sword out of its sheath.
Xiao Yu held a sword in his left hand and a sword in his right hand, and took the lead in the charge.
Min Xing frowned, feeling faintly uneasy in his heart.
A hundred miles away, 15,000 horsemen crossed the Dolun River under the leadership of Lu Shixing.
......
One hundred miles north of the Qing River, the camp of the Taoist sect.
A curtain obscured the heavens and the earth, and only a few flag gates could be entered.
A young Taoist walked out of the Dao Pavilion and walked slowly towards a flag gate not far away.
The disciples of the Dao Sect who came and went from time to time gave a light salute to the young Daoist, and the young Daoist just nodded lightly, but did not return the salute.
The moment before the young Daoist stepped into the Banner Gate on the horse, Elder Dao Sect Keqing appeared behind him and said softly, "First apprentice, Miss Murong and Her Royal Highness the Princess have come down. ”
Akiba was slightly surprised, turned around, and sure enough, there were two women in white fox furs standing at the edge of the entire phantom array.
Akiba was slightly stunned, and the two women were already slowly coming towards this side.
Autumn leaves nodded slightly to the older woman, then leaned forward slightly in a slight arc, and said politely to the younger woman on the side, "Your Royal Highness Princess." ”
Lin Yinping hurriedly returned the salute and performed the etiquette of a Central Plains woman, "Autumn leaves are real people." "It's just that Her Royal Highness the princess is not very proficient in this kind of etiquette, and Lin Yuan is very spoiled by her, let alone sending any upbringing like the princess of the Central Plains, this etiquette is naturally very awkward.
A smile appeared on Qiu Ye and Murong He's faces, and Lin Yinping was embarrassed.
Fortunately, Qiu Ye didn't have the heart to make fun of Lin Yinping, but just laughed it off. Previously, the disciples of the Taoist Sect kept sending back the latest news, Xiao Yu and Min Xing took the lead in the battle on the banks of the Duolun River, while Xu Lin and Shen Dongzan had ended the confrontation and marched towards the battle between Xiao Yu and Min Xing.
Now the three-way army on the grassland, Xiao Yu and Min Xing have started a war, Xu Lin and Shen Dongzan are still on the march, and Huang Hanji and Qin Quan are still in the confrontation.
Minxing's army is the weakest, although Xiao Yu's Khan's personal guards are not necessarily strong, but with the advantage of numbers, the chances of victory are still quite large, and now the situation seems to be Xiao Yu's advantage, but in fact, the real threat still comes from the three-way army led by Xu Lin himself.
There are 230,000 elite iron cavalry in the central capital, and the governor of Xu Lin is personally in charge, as long as the siege of Xiao Yu is completed, whether it is directly killing Xiao Yu or encircling the point to send reinforcements, Xiao Yu has already lost his skills.
Akiba said, "Since you're here, let's come together." ”
As he spoke, Autumn Leaves led the two girls through the flag gate and into the curtain.
After passing through the flag gate, what greeted him was the curtain that covered the sky and the surrounding area, and under the curtain seemed to be filled with a faint layer of mist, turning everything into gray chaos, in which many Dao disciples could be faintly seen walking through it.
Autumn leaves waved the sleeves of their robes, dissipating a layer of mist in front of them.
A huge white marble altar covering an area of more than ten acres appeared at the feet of the three people, and the seals were engraved with various talismans, the altar should have three layers, and only the first layer was completed at this time, and there were more than 30 Taoist sects not far from the three of them who were building the second layer of the altar. And more Daoist disciples are carving talismans on the first layer.
Murong's expression was awe-inspiring, among those Daoists who built the second-layer Xuan Altar, she sensed that there were at least three Heavenly and Human Masters. Even the lowest Dao Sect disciples, who were responsible for carving the inscriptions on the first layer, also had the Void Netherworld Realm.
This is a terrifying array. Not to mention manpower, it is the talisman seal used to build the formation, which is enough to bankrupt four or five medium-sized sects.
Of course, there are pros and cons, if such a large array is built and fully operational, it can even be compared to a carefree immortal! I am afraid that it is the Dao Sect that has such a foundation, and it has spent so much manpower and material resources to create such a large array.
Murong and Lin Yinping quietly glanced at each other, and they couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts.
Xiao Yu must know about the existence here, so what are he and Qiu Ye going to do?
