Chapter 754: Hunting Qiang
The topography of Longyou is particularly complicated, if the so-called mountains of the Central Plains are a few small soil bags bulging out on the flat land, then the so-called flat land west of Longshan is a few narrow strips of land that stretch out of the mountains and are washed out by the rivers.
The Zhao army fought against the Qiang people, and the biggest enemy was not the Qiang people, but the complex terrain.
Especially at this time, it is already late autumn, and there is a possibility of heavy snowfall at any time and trap Zhao Jun. Although Feng Wuxue was young and frivolous and earnest, he still decided to be on the safe side and investigate it first.
"The vanguard of the Qiang people has arrived here, and the main army should not be too far away, and we will not march today. Cherifer, you lead a few men to scout the surroundings." Feng Wuxue said to the person behind him.
Cherifer was once a Qiang man, but later abandoned the darkness and joined the Zhao state, becoming the guide of the Zhao army.
"No." Cherifer said with his fists clenched, leading a few soldiers to probe ahead.
"Maps." Feng Wuxue stretched out his hand, and the general next to him hurriedly took out the map and handed it to Feng Wuxue.
This is a map drawn by Zhao Guo after spending a year and sending several groups of people, which cannot be said to be particularly accurate, but the two counties of Longxi and Zhangye, including the mountains and rivers of the nearby Qiang people, have all been included.
"Horsebit...... Xinglong Mountain ...... There is still more than a day, nearly two days away...... It's a bit difficult, but if it can be completed, my Feng Wuxuan's name should be able to resound through Zhao Guo!" Feng Wuxue licked his lips, and some madness emanated from his eyes.
His army is not only a vanguard, but also a decoy.
It is not difficult for the Zhao army to defeat the Qiang people, but it is too difficult to leave 200,000 Qiang troops in such a place, and it can even be said that it is almost impossible to do.
However, after carefully observing the surrounding terrain, Lu Zhonglian found two mountain ranges, Mabit Mountain and Xinglong Mountain, the two mountain ranges run northwest and southeast, almost parallel, and the narrowest part in the middle is only a few hundred meters.
But how to introduce the Qiang people became a problem for Zhao Jun.
Although the Qiang people are not very smart, they are not stupid either, and it is impossible for them to drill into the Jedi on their own.
This required a Zhao army to seduce in front and attract the Qiang people to the past, so Feng Wuxue took on this task.
"If you march towards Mount Horsebit now, there is a high probability that the Qiang people will not follow you, and you must fight with the Qiang people to attract enough hatred." Feng Wuxue thought in his heart.
There is no difficulty in attracting hatred, the difficulty lies in how to escape from the pursuit of nearly 200,000 Qiang horsemen after attracting hatred, and lead them to the designated position.
He only led 5,000 men, as long as he was dragged and failed to get out in time, he would be overwhelmed by 200,000 Qiang cavalry in an instant, and there would be no chance of survival.
Soon, Cherifer returned to report that there was no trace of the Qiang people around.
Feng Wuxue ordered the Zhao army to set up camp and personally led the patrol so that everyone could have a good night's rest. From tomorrow onwards, they will be in a bitter battle.
The next day, Zhao Jun buried the pot early to cook and continued to march.
It didn't take long for the scout to report that he had found traces of the Qiang horseman.
"Sure enough, I did!" Feng Wuxue muttered, did not order to charge, nor did he retreat, but ordered Zhao *** to go southeast.
Soon, Zhao Jun collided with a Qiang horseman.
"Rush over and don't stop!" Feng Wuxue ordered.
The war drums were clattering, the war clouds in the sky were constantly rolling, and Zhao Jun instantly increased his speed to the extreme, pulling out phantoms in the mountains, like arrows from the string stabbing towards the Qiang cavalry.
Qiang Qi obviously discovered Zhao Jun's traces early and reacted quickly.
When the distance between the two armies was only more than a hundred paces, the two armies simultaneously drew their bows and arrows and threw them at each other.
The rain of arrows burst out, many Qiang riders fell off their horses, and the Zhao army relied on the ultimate reaction ability to pull the arrow rain down, and the arrow rain that did not fall relied on armor to block, and only a very small number of soldiers were shot at the vital point and fell to their deaths.
"Go and report to the alliance leader immediately, this is the elite of the Zhao army!" The Qiang cavalry general led by him said loudly that they were definitely not the opponent of the Zhao army.
Qiang people
Fighting the Qin people head-on, it would take three to five times as many troops to compete with the Qin army, and the Zhao army was more powerful than the Qin army, and if you wanted to compete with it on the frontal battlefield, the number of Qiang cavalry was at least five times that of the Zhao army.
"There is no legion talent blessing, no personal talent blessing, no battle array blessing, only thin war clouds, and I don't know how to use it. However, about 10,000 Qiang horsemen are also a very powerful tribe among the Qiang people, and if they are lost here, the leader of the Qiang Alliance should be very distressed." Feng Wuxue thought in his heart, picked up his weapon and slashed towards the Qiang cavalry.
The blade more than ten meters long pierced the sky, and the moment it touched the Qiang Cavalry, it burst out with infinite power, cutting the enemy in front of him in half.
"Kill them!" Feng Wuxue pointed his blood-dripping broadsword at the sky and shouted, bursting out with greater strength and speed to slash at the position of the Qiang cavalry general.
As for why it is possible to accurately find out who the general is, in fact, in the entire Qiang cavalry, there are only a few people wearing armor, and there is only one person wearing armor.
The Qiang people don't know how to smelt, let alone build armor, the armor in the tribe is basically secretly purchased from the Central Plains countries, or robbed in the war, and the Qiang people who can wear armor are all high-level, and none of them are ordinary soldiers.
As a powerhouse of the transcendent realm, Feng Wuxuan faced these Qiang people who didn't know how to cooperate and didn't know how to mobilize the war clouds to suppress them, just like a fierce tiger rushing into the flock, with a random wave, blood splattered all around, and stumps flew sideways.
Although the number of the Zhao army was only half of the Qiang cavalry, whether it was momentum or real strength, the Qiang cavalry was completely suppressed.
Between the flying swords, Feng Wuxue had already fought a bloody way, rushed to the front of the Qiang generals, and when the knife fell, a human head fell.
"Gangyuan Realm's human head......" Feng Wuxue glanced at the human head in his hand and threw it to the ground in disgust.
General Zhao Guo has a very perverted habit, which is to collect the enemy's heads, but not all the heads are eligible to be collected, at least they must be transcendent realm generals.
Although Feng Wuxue has not yet killed a transcendent realm, he cannot lower the level of the famous generals of Zhao State.
"I don't know how many transcendent realms the Qiang people have, if there are many, I should have a chance to get a human head." Feng Wuxue thought in his heart that only the transcendent realm that had killed a strong person of the same level was the real transcendent realm.
As the general was killed, the already crumbling Qiang cavalry instantly collapsed and fled frantically in all directions.
At this moment, there was a 'boom' sound from the end of the earth in the distance, like thunder rolling, and then, a black torrent came into view, and I didn't know how many troops there were, only that as far as the eye could see, all of them were enemies.
"If it is in the plains, even if there are only 10,000 troops, in the face of 200,000 Qiang cavalry, Lao Tzu will dare to lead the army to charge!" Feng Wuxue said in a deep voice, but unfortunately he only has more than 4,000 troops left, and this is not a plain, and the cavalry may be blocked by the mountains at any time.
"Withdraw!"
Feng Wuxue said loudly and led the army to flee in the southeast direction.
"A bunch of trash!" The leader of the Qiang Qiang glared at the defeated Qiang cavalry and cursed.
The tribal leader was killed, and the Qiang cavalry did not dare to refute, so he could only bow his head and let the leader of the Qiang Qiang be insulted.
"Ordered to burn the leader of Dangqiang and the leader of Burning He Qiang, lead the headquarters to attack from both sides and surround the Zhao army, I want to swallow this elite of the Zhao army today and cut off a piece of meat on the body of Zhao Guo." Seed Lingqiang said in a deep voice.
The equipment on Zhao Jun's body made him extremely greedy, not to mention anything else, as long as he could snatch this set of equipment from Zhao Jun, it would be worth losing some more soldiers.
Of course, it was not his own soldiers who were to lose.
In the Qiang people, the distribution of spoils is not based on who pays more, but on whose strength is strong, as long as the strength is strong, you can get the most.
If he can get this set of equipment on Zhao Jun's body, even if he can only arm 5,000 people, it is equivalent to an army of 10,000 or 20,000.
Although Dangqiang and He Qiang had always been at odds with Chong Lingqiang before burning He Qiang and opposed the attack on Zhao State, with the help of Zhao State, the two departments successfully formed an alliance with Chong Lingqiang to jointly fight against the enemy of Zhao State.
So after receiving the order, two
The ministry did not object, but immediately led the headquarters towards the Zhao army.
Of course, there is another reason that they don't really take Zhao Jun seriously.
The Zhao army only has more than 4,000 people in total, nearly 5,000 people, and the two of them add up to 40,000, which is ten times that of the Zhao army.
"Did you chase it? But the number of people is a bit small, it seems that the leader of the Qiang people is really calm! But if you think that this person can stop me, then you think too much!" Feng Qujian glanced back and muttered.
"Shoot the arrows!" Feng Qujian ordered.
The rain of arrows that covered the sky and the sun was aimed at the Qiang cavalry rushing towards the Zhao army in front of the right, and at the same time, the bow and arrow of the Qiang cavalry also pointed at the Zhao army.
Xuanxiang Array!
At this moment, a blue luster suddenly bloomed from Zhao Jun's body, and phantoms that were exactly the same as Zhao Jun were separated from Zhao Jun's body, and quickly condensed, almost no difference from Zhao Jun.
"It's still not skilled enough, otherwise it won't be an illusion when it's segmented, but an illusion that is exactly the same as the entity. If it's a famous general, you can still see through the difference between the phantom and the body at a glance, but it shouldn't be a big problem to fool the Qiang people." Feng Quji thought in his heart.
There are many battle formations in Zhao State, and there are many powerful battle formations, for so many years, there is only one battle formation that he has worked hard to study, that is, the Xuanxiang Array, but the Xuanxiang Array is too profound, even if he has studied for many years, he has only comprehended the surface, and he is still too far from fully mastering the Xuanxiang Array.
Theoretically speaking, after the Xuanxiang Array reaches the extreme, there is no difference between the illusion and the body, except that it can't think, it can fight like a soldier, and there is no gap between the combat power and the body.
But...... This is only theoretical......
Even Sun Bin, the founder of the Xuanxiang Array, failed to reach this level in the end.
"Zhao Jun...... Why is it suddenly doubled!" The leader of Burning Dangqiang looked at the Zhao army in front of him, and was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to take the order.
After so many years of fighting, when has he encountered such a strange situation?
The Qiang people fight with a knife and cut it, and if they can't cut it, they flee, how can there be so much mess.
"It must be fake, even if it's true, it's less than 10,000 people more than double! Fight! Give me arrows! The rain of arrows covers indiscriminately!" The leader of Burning Dangqiang yelled, he didn't believe that the Zhao army would suddenly double the number of people.
"Huh!" Feng Wuxue sneered and ordered the attack again.
All the Zhao troops, including the illusion, opened their bows and arrows and shot at the Qiang cavalry, then threw the bow and arrows into the horse bag, and took out the big sword again and slashed at the Qiang cavalry!
"It's true!" The eyes of the leader of the Burning Qiang Qiang widened, and the eyeballs were about to bulge out of their sockets.
He felt that his worldview had been severely hit.
It's obviously fake, it's obviously an illusion, why do you still attack?
Feng Wuxue didn't have the leisure to explain to the leader of Burning Dangqiang, the big knife swung up and down, the knife light rolled, and the heads rolled down, and the rich smell of blood instantly diffused.
While!
Sparks burst out, and Feng Wuxue's big knife was blocked by the leader of Burning Dangqiang.
"I didn't want to be an enemy of you Zhao people, you forced me." The leader of Burning Dangqiang said in a deep voice.
However, Feng Wuxue didn't understand what the other party was saying at all, and he thought that the leader of Burning Dangqiang was speaking cruelly, so he immediately increased his strength, leaving a scar on his shoulder.
"Kill!" The leader of Burning Dangqiang raised his head to the sky and roared, the black-red internal qi rushed out of his body, his breath climbed steadily, and he brandished a spear and stabbed at Feng Wuxue.
"Breakthrough!" Feng Wuxue said in surprise, the leader of Burning Dangqiang actually broke through from the Gangyuan Realm to the Transcendent Realm!
In this way, his first transcendent human head has fallen! Thinking of this, Feng Wuxue became excited, and attacked the leader of Burning Dangqiang with the illusion.
Although the illusion conjured up by the Xuanxiang Array can attack, the real attack power is completely negligible. Even the illusion conjured up by the Army Soul Legion can't defeat the miscellaneous soldiers.
When attacking from a distance, it is not easy for the enemy
It was discovered that once in close combat, this shortcoming was instantly exposed.
"It's just a look!" The leader of Burning Dangqiang said coldly, his eyes were extremely cold, he was deceived twice, it was too deceitful!
"Enough to kill you! It's just a waste who has only managed to break through to the transcendent realm after middle age!" Feng Wuxue said in a deep voice, the power in his hand suddenly increased, and several sword lights were slashed out one after another, knocking back the leader of Burning Dangqiang again and again.
The face of the leader of Burning Dangqiang turned red, he was able to break through to the transcendent realm, looking at the entire world, and he was also the top powerhouse, but compared to a genius like Feng Wuxue who reached the transcendent realm in his twenties, he was indeed a waste.
"Damn!" The leader of Burning Dangqiang roared angrily, and the internal qi in his body gushed out like a spring, wrapping his whole body, wanting to kill Feng Wuxue, but he was suppressed by Feng Wuxue.
"Impotent rage!" Feng Wuxuan said disdainfully.
After the two fought for dozens of rounds, Feng Wu chose to find the right opportunity and cut off the head of the leader of Dangqiang with a single sword.
"The head of the transcendent realm! Not bad!" Feng Wuxue happily tied the head of the leader of Dangqiang to the neck of the horse, and after returning to Handan, he would also be able to show off well among his peers.
Only the head of a strong person of this level has the value of collecting.
