Chapter 188: The Battle of the Jade Gate
"The Jiuqu Yellow River Array is really exquisite, and I can't find a flaw for a while." Xiahou Shang looked embarrassed, he couldn't imagine that he had fought all his life, and there was a formation that he couldn't break.
There is no way, in order to deal with the yellow sand and strong winds, I had to use one of the national treasures of Western Qin, [Dingfeng Pearl] It is rumored that in the middle of King Wu's war, Wen Zhongtai's soldiers attacked Xiqi, and invited the "Ten Heavenly Monarchs of Jinao Island" to intercept the sect, and put down the "Ten Absolute Arrays" to help the abuse, among which there is a wind roar array, which cannot be broken unless the wind bead is fixed, so the Lingbao archmage proposed to go to Du'er Zhenren to borrow the wind bead.
After that, Jiang Ziya sent San Yisheng and Chao Tian to Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain to get the wind beads. One of the four generals of the Jiamengguan Demon Family, Mo Lihong's magic weapon \"Mixed Yuan Umbrella\" also has a wind bead on it.
And Xiahou Shang was in his hand the Founding Emperor of Western Qin, and he saw him rushing into the formation with 10,000 [Golden Fire Cavalry] in his hand.
It's not that he doesn't want to bring more people, it's mainly that this Wind Bead is broken, and its power is far from being able to control the entire area.
"Hey, the operation of the formation has been sluggish, it seems that someone has entered the formation, and has he brought a treasure that can restrain the wind?" Chi Tianji sensed Xiahou Shang's arrival through the formation diagram, and he knew that the Golden Fire Cavalry was powerful, even if it was with Tenglongwei.
"In this position, Zhan Xiu and Quicksand are the closest, it's up to him." Chi Tianji pointed his finger on the formation diagram, and Zhan Xiu and Quicksand immediately received instructions.
"Soldiers, cheer up, the enemy is coming." The two of them immediately prepared for battle.
They also knew that if they were to fight hard, they might not necessarily be Xi Qin's opponents, and they could only do their best to delay time, even if it was for a minute.
"Quicksand, the number of people coming in from the other party must not be much, we rely on the big array and your peerless knowledge to make sand dummies, and then we divide into two teams and mix with dummies half real and half fake. As soon as one of us starts fighting them, the other sneaks up from behind, how. Zhan Xiu had a good brain, and immediately thought of a plan.
The mastery of quicksand is called [Thick Earth Sutra], which can manipulate the clay to make puppets, and has a certain attack power, and can play a great role in the Yellow River Formation of Jiuqu Yellow River full of yellow sand.
Xiahou Shang controlled the [Wind Bead] to slowly walk in the large array, constantly looking for the formation eye, as soon as the formation eye broke through the large array, it immediately collapsed.
After walking for an hour, Xiahou Shang finally realized that something was wrong.
"General, this formation seems to have the effect of disorienting people, although the [Wind Bead] can isolate the hurricane, but the visibility around it is too low, so let's spin in place." Xiahou Wu, Xiahou Shang's younger brother, a half-step grandmaster, has cultivated the peerless [Thousand Machines Introduction], and can manipulate the corpse of a warrior for his own use.
"I see, let your [puppet] go out, he won't be affected if he doesn't have senses." Xiahou Shang also discovered this.
"Yes." Xiahou Wu waved his hand, and the cavalry behind him jumped off the horse, his empty eyes and blank eyes indicated that he was dead, and he was just a [puppet] manipulated by Xiahou Wu at this moment.
[Puppet] walked towards the depths of the yellow sand step by step, and disappeared after a while, but Xiahou Wu was not surprised, his connection with [Puppet] was still there, and it seemed that there was indeed a trick in front of him.
"General, it's done." The [Golden Fire Cavalry] followed the [Golem] to crack the maze of the first layer and entered the second layer of the large array.
In the second layer, the war show and quicksand are ready.
"The elite of Xiqin is worthy of its reputation, it actually cracked the first layer so quickly, how many [meeting gifts] have you approved in the quicksand" Zhan Xiu glanced at the quicksand that was still digging the soil and asked.
"Don't worry, this meal will definitely fill them." Quicksand smiled maliciously. Although Xiahou Shang cracked the maze, he was still not careless.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the wind and sand not far away, and the aura was not weak, and there was even a powerful aura of a half-step sect master.
"Ah Wu, pay attention, if you are not wrong, there is the customs clearance of the [Nine Songs] ahead, but I don't know how many [Songs] are following." Xiahou Shang approached quickly with a large army, as long as one of them was broken, then the latter would be easy to do.
"Come on, come on, come quickly, I'm sorry for all the flowers I've been waiting for." Quicksand's face is full of excitement, since joining Haining, he has not been so enthusiastic for a long time, the prince treats the big guy too well, although the strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, but the number of shots is really not much, and now he finally has the opportunity to repay the prince.
Just as Xiahou Shang was close to the range of the figures, Xiahou Wu suddenly warned: "General, no, those shadows are not living people, [Qianjiyin] did not react. "It turns out that Xiahou Wu's [Thousand Machines Lead] can not only manipulate corpses, but also sense the number and blood of the enemy army.
It's just that they have entered the encirclement of quicksand.
"[Thick Earth Sutra-Mother Earth-Pseudo-Spirit]" Suddenly, hundreds of [Thick Earth Golems] appeared around the [Golden Fire Cavalry] and began to attack them.
"Carving insect skills, cavalry charge." Although Xiahou Shang was sneak attacked, his face was full of disdain, and these shrimp soldiers and crabs would not even be able to touch their armor.
The fact is also the same, with the blessing of the large array, the [Thick Earth Puppet] already has the combat power of [Practicing God and Returning to Void], but in front of the [Golden Fire Cavalry], it is really not enough, one shot at a time.
But killing and killing, Xiahou Wu felt that something was wrong, these puppets were able to repair themselves by relying on the yellow sand in the sky, and if they didn't fight like this, it would be endless.
"Xiahou Wu, you will continue to fight with five hundred people, although they can repair it, but the qi required must be not small, General Ben is going to find out the people behind this scene."
"Subordinates obey." In this way, the Western Qin soldiers divided into two ways, hiding in the shadows of the quicksand, and this was his purpose.
Although the twelve earthly branches are also elite, they must still be inqualified with the [Golden Fire Cavalry], so they can only divide their troops, and to deal with these hundreds of puppets, five hundred people are enough.
And he has 10,000 men under his command, and I don't believe that he can't take these 500 people. When Xiahou Shang walked out of some distance, Quicksand saw the opportunity and quietly led people out of the maze and surrounded them.
Xiahou Wu also felt the black pressure of the crowd around him for the first time, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
"Loyal to the country, the time has come to reimburse the prince, there are only 500 soldiers, rush." Quicksand took the lead, and the first wave of the [Thick Earth Puppet] charged, although it was not lethal, but it also consumed Xiahou Wu's physical strength, and this time the quicksand did not let them repair it again, but hit the true qi on a puppet and fought with Xiahou Wu's [Thousand Machines Leading].
Although his personal strength is a little worse, with the help of hundreds of soldiers, Kankan and Xiahou Wu are tied.
Xiahou Shang also heard the sound of fighting behind him, and just wanted to be a member, Zhan Xiu walked out with more than 10,000 soldiers, and took Xiahou Wu and more than 9,000 [Golden Fire Cavalry] as the center.
"It's a [Nine Curved Yellow River Array], but your companions are a group fight, and you don't seem to have more people than me, so you think you can defeat me just like this." Zhan Xiu shook his head, smiled and said: "It's impossible, I will know that we are definitely not opponents, but the prince said that the strength is not enough, science and technology to make up, although I don't know what technology is, but Haining's [Fire Thunder] is the best, and it is it that destroys the Yecheng camp." "Tens of thousands of people took out the [Fire Thunder] at the same time, and the scene was very spectacular.
When this thing was on the expedition, Tang Tian took out all the inventory in Haining, and this first stop was very important, Chi Tianji handed over half of the [Fire Thunderson] to Zhan Xiu, for this scene.
"Ready, indiscriminate covered bombing, put." With the order of Zhan Xiu, the sky [fire and thunder] fell from the sky.
Xiahou Shang instinctively sensed the threat of this thing, and shouted: "Dome shield." "A huge True Qi shield shrouded the head of the [Golden Fire Cavalry], this was one of the stunts they relied on to become famous, with the cooperation of tens of thousands of people, even the full force of the Great Grandmaster could not hurt them.
It's just that the power of the [Fire Thunderbolt] is really not weak, not to mention that there are tens of thousands, and the entire battlefield is instantly engulfed by explosions and flames.
The huge sound also made Xiahou Wu, who was in a bitter battle, sway, and was grabbed by quicksand and punched straight to the head, and he was suddenly unconscious.
The main generals were all dizzy, and although the remaining hundreds of people were strong in combat, they were outnumbered after all, and after half an hour of fighting, they finally killed these five hundred people.
The quicksand was tired and couldn't stand up straight, so he hurriedly asked, "How many people have we lost, and how many people can still fight." The adjutant counted it and sighed: "My lord, this [Golden Fire Cavalry] is really powerful, we have tens of thousands of people besieging 500 people, more than 2,000 killed in battle, more than 1,000 people have lost their combat effectiveness, and now there are up to 6,000 people who can still have strength." ”
"As expected, they are enemies who can match Tenglongwei, and immediately draw out a thousand people to return to Yumen Pass with the corpses of the wounded and brothers, and the rest will be reinforced." The quicksand doesn't have time to grieve, and the war show is even more dangerous there.
Although they were caught off guard by the ambush, the [Dome Shield] still canceled out most of the damage, and only less than a hundred of them fell, and some of the damage was blocked by the armor on their bodies, but it looked embarrassed, and the actual lethality was not as great as imagined.
Of the more than 9,000 people, more than 8,000 were intact, and less than one-tenth were wounded or killed in battle. But the suppression of morale is very great, when has the dignified [Golden Fire Cavalry] received such a disgrace.
"Oops, it's amazing, it's still intact after being blown up for so long." Zhan Xiu said this, but in his heart, he was still taken aback by their combat effectiveness.
The generals of both sides wore heavy armor and held spears ready to attack. I only heard that the drums of war had already beaten, and the generals of both sides shouted loudly, and then asked the opponent to rush forward.
Spears collide on the battlefield, friction creates sparks, and the fight is inextricable. At first, the battle was evenly matched, but it eventually came to an end due to the lack of strength of one side.
Of course, the soldiers of the victorious side suddenly became more excited when they saw their generals come out on top, so they united and charged forward, and a larger-scale melee between the two sides began.
The war lasted for half an hour, the armies of both sides came and went, the long snake array was set up here, the gossip array was set up there, the shouts of the war horses resounded in the sky, the cavalry shouted deafeningly, they regarded death as home, and they fought for honor.
After another thirty rounds of fighting, the opposing cavalry crossed the middle line and came to the border of Zhanxiu's military formation, relying on its own strong strength to show off its might, and Zhanxiu could not attack it, so it had to give up.
The battle situation was unfavorable, Zhan Xiu was anxious, but he did not completely panic, he was pressed by the calm opponent step by step, and the good situation was gone, just when he was at a loss, the quicksand cavalry behind launched a surprise attack, one son hit double, Xiahou Shang hurriedly hid, and the rest of Zhan Xiu was finally saved.
Seeing the quicksand coming, he knew that Xiahou Wu had failed, although he had the upper hand at the moment, but the soldiers were not iron-beaten, they would also be tired, and the consumption of them in the big array was greater.
"Two good strategies, under the admiration, the order, the front army into the rear army, gradually withdraw from the big array." Quicksand and Zhan Xiu did not continue to block, the difference in strength between the two sides is not small, and now this situation has achieved its goal.
In the first battle of breaking the formation, more than 1,000 [Golden Fire Cavalry] were killed, and nearly 1,000 people were injured and lost their combat effectiveness, nearly one-tenth of the losses made Xiahou Shang feel distressed, every cavalry here is a master of one in a million, and it is very difficult to replenish.
However, the losses of the Great Zhou side were even greater, with more than 7,000 people killed in 20,000 battles, and less than 10,000 still standing, almost a 1:5 battle loss ratio.
Chi Tianji's face sank like water, and he still underestimated the [Golden Fire Cavalry], he lost so much in the first battle, if the opponent's 20,000 people were dispatched together, only Tenglongwei or Azure Tyrant still had the strength to fight in a head-on confrontation.
But Xi Qin's surprise was even greater, the invincible [Golden Fire Cavalry] actually lost one-tenth, and the other party was not the strongest army, if the Youzhou ghost cavalry Tenglongwei made a move a few days ago, then what would be the battle situation.
"Shangong, I can't imagine that this Da Zhou can compete with the [Golden Fire Cavalry] with the assistance of the Great Array, we can't be careless." Mu Yi frowned, this Great Zhou's army is so powerful.
"Don't worry, this time I came out, the clan war brought out the [Most Magic Map]." Yamagun touched his chest.
Mu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It turns out that you brought out the [Most Magic Diagram], and it will be no problem now, but if you want to start it, you still need to use the [Heterogeneous Merge Method], let's go back and prepare first, the people of Xiqin have already left." Sure enough, Xiahou did not attack again, but returned to the camp with the wounded soldiers, and he wanted to study tomorrow's countermeasures.
On the first day of the decisive battle at Yumen Pass, the two sides were tied, and both sides knew that tomorrow would be the real decisive battle, and the pass was now full of wounded soldiers.
Chi Tianji looked at the direction of Luoyang, and secretly prayed in his heart, Lord Wang, you can hurry up.
