Chapter 241: Iron Horse Formation
The venue for the second trial was chosen on the meadow by the riverside, because it was flat enough for the horses to run, and it was fifty horses.
To be exact, fifty wolf-running horsemen and horses were greased.
The reason why they remove their leather armor and replace it with iron armor is because the grease is smoother on the iron armor.
Antai, Ji Chengying, and Bao Meng are still sitting in the carriage, and Muzier is driving the carriage as a coachman.
Tang Xiaohao moved his limbs, drank two more sips of water, and then looked at Antai on the carriage.
At the same time, Tang Xiaohao also saw Ji Chengying and Bao Meng with worried faces.
Tradition is tradition, although Ji Chengying knew that the trial would cost his life, but he didn't dare to stand up and show his true identity because of Tang Xiaohao's move, it was too reckless to do that, no one dared to think about what would happen.
Antai pointed to the distance and said, "Do you see the grassland by the river in front of you?"
Tang Xiaohao said, "See, it's that depression, right?"
Antai said: "Yes, although it is a depression, but the bottom is very flat, and the depression is the venue for the second trial, you can't leave the depression, as long as you leave, you will fail."
Tang Xiaohao nodded, and subconsciously looked at the fifty wolf cavalry soldiers who were already standing in line on the side: "What else?"
Antai also looked at the fifty wolf riders: "Wait a minute, those wolf riders will rush into the depression, and they will not attack you in any other way except for riding and charging, and you can't attack them, as long as you can hold out for a quarter of an hour, even if you win."
As he spoke, Antai picked up the leak used to calculate the time next to him, and he deliberately placed the leak between himself and Ji Chengying to show that he would never deliberately extend the time.
After Bao Meng heard the rules clearly, his face became ugly, and his hands were shaking.
Su Mu below clenched his fists, he really wanted to participate in this trial instead of Tang Xiaohao, if he went to participate, as long as he was more careful, there was a good chance that he could win, and he would not be injured.
Because Su Mu, who is the thorn of Xuanbu, has excellent body skills and light skills, and he doesn't dare to say it for too long, but he can definitely do it for a quarter of an hour with internal strength.
But although Tang Xiaohao has martial arts, he has no internal strength, and under the premise of no internal strength, he will naturally not be light, even if his body is flexible and light, facing fifty rampaging war horses within about three acres of land, there is only one way to die.
Bao Meng naturally knew this, so he couldn't help but say, "Pony!"
Tang Xiaohao looked at Bao Meng when he heard this, but he showed a relaxed smile, which also meant that he would never back down.
Cerda, who had always stood beside Tang Xiaohao, said in a low voice, "Don't forget it, don't forget it."
Tang Xiaohao moved his limbs: "I've won one game, how can I easily admit defeat, it's not cost-effective."
Su Mu looked at Tang Xiaohao and said in a low voice: "There is no shame in admitting defeat, this kind of trial is simply sending you to death."
Tang Xiaohao pretended to be impatient: "Can't you have a little confidence in me?"
Su Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Under the premise that you can't borrow external force, and you can't use internal force, there is no chance of survival at all, even if you die, because of this tradition, I ...... it."
Su Mu didn't say anything about this, but Childa knew that what Su Mu meant was that once Tang Xiaohao was trampled to death by a horse, Su Mu would not be able to help him avenge this kind of trial voluntarily.
Tang Xiaohao didn't pay attention to Su Mu, just looked at Antai and asked, "Can you give me some time?"
Antai glanced at Ji Chengying and said, "Give you a quarter of an hour to prepare, remember, you can't use any external force or tools."
When Tang Xiaohao heard this, he said to Su Mu with a hippie smile, "Fortunately, he didn't let me go shirtless."
Su Mu frowned and looked at Tang Xiaohao, he couldn't understand that he was still so relaxed when he was dying.
Tang Xiaohao sat down facing the fifty wolf riders in the distance, and just watched.
Everyone's attention was on Tang Xiaohao, because he didn't know what he was doing, Su Mu even subconsciously glanced at the Linglong machine box and the credit spirit pot placed on the carriage.
At this moment, inside the credit pot, Tang Rong
Rong, Zhan Tianya, and Dongshan Xiao gathered at the mouth of the gourd and looked outside.
Dongshan Xiao sighed and said, "It's over, this time the horse is dead."
Tang Rong said angrily, "I don't know what he is thinking, he has to die for a horse!"
Zhan Tianya said, "I can understand the Spirit Lord, but you don't understand."
Tang Rongrong pointed at Zhan Tianya and said, "I know him better than you, right? You've only been with him for a long time, and I've been following him for a long time!"
Higashiyama Takashi said, "Then I will follow him longer than you."
Tang Rongrong turned to Dongshan Xiao again: "Is it longer than anyone to follow the master now? Hurry up and think of a way!"
Dongshan Xiao said helplessly, "Is there any way? As you heard, we are not allowed to use external forces or tools, and if we show up, the colt will be judged to fail."
Zhan Tianya was silent, just looking outside, as if he was not in a hurry at all, but the ink gluttony on his face covering cloth was constantly changing, and in fact he was still very anxious.
Tang Rongrong suddenly remembered something: "Dongshan Xiao, don't you know how to use illusions? You tricked them with illusions and made them think that the second colt had won."
Dongshan Xiao shook his head and said, "I'm not proficient in this illusion, so it will be even more troublesome if I get lost in the horse."
Tang Rong raised his hand angrily and was about to beat Dongshan Xiao, but Dongshan Xiao hurriedly hid behind Zhan Tianya.
Zhan Tianya looked at Tang Rong Rong and said, "I believe that the Spirit Lord has a way, because he is very special."
Tang Rongrong sat helplessly on the ground: "I know he is very special, but there is a premise for his specialness."
Tang Rongrong means that even if Tang Xiaohao defeats the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon in Liangcheng, it is because he can copy the magic power, and now if he copies the magic power of Tang Rongrong or Zhan Tianya, it is also equivalent to using external forces.
Therefore, they could only wait here, or witness Tang Xiaohao being trampled into meat sauce by those fifty war horses.
At this time, Tang Xiaohao sat there, his eyes locked on the fifty war horses, and recalled in his heart that his father Tang Chen told him about the strategy of dealing with cavalry.
Cavalry is generally divided into two types: light and heavy, and the difference between light cavalry and heavy cavalry lies in the weapons they carry and the armor they wear.
Light cavalry is generally light armor or leather armor, thinking that it is mainly cavalry shooting, and basically will not engage with the enemy in short combat.
Heavy cavalry is armoured regardless of men and horses, and the weapons they hold are spears and long knives, and their role is to charge head-on, disrupt the enemy's defensive line, and then break through the enemy's formation with the advantage of their own mobility, which is called a charging formation.
Tang Chen said that before the invention of firearms, the way to deal with cavalry was to use spear infantry with archers, or dig holes in advance to set up ambushes, or there were soldiers with sabers hidden in the front army.
However, none of these methods are suitable for Tang Xiaohao, who is now facing fifty wolf riders alone.
The most outrageous rule of the second trial is that Tang Xiaohao can't attack, he can only escape, but there is only such a large range, and it is not a dozen horses, but fifty horses, there is no way to escape, there is no escape.
Moreover, in order to prevent Tang Xiaohao from sticking to the horse, these fifty wolf riders were even covered with grease with people and horses.
Tang Xiaohao's gaze locked on a running wolf rider, observing from top to bottom, and finally his eyes locked on the reins, and then looked at the stirrup, and had an idea in his heart.
Take a gamble, that's the only way. Thinking of this, Tang Xiaohao got up and moved his limbs, and said without looking back, "It's almost over, let's get ready to start."
Watching Tang Xiaohao walk towards the depression, Ji Chengying, Bao Meng, Su Mu and Childa all pinched a cold sweat.
Even Mu Qier, who was driving the carriage, couldn't help but take a deep breath, he looked at Tang Xiaohao's thin body, how could he withstand the collision of the war horse, most of the people who participated in the trial failed in the second game.
After Tang Xiaohao walked into the depression and stood up, after turning around, he raised his right hand to signal that he was ready.
Antai looked at Ji Chengying: "Lord Wang?"
Ji Chengying took a deep breath and nodded, "Let's start."
Antai up
He shouted to the fifty wolf riders in the distance, "Boda!"
"Boda!" While the fifty wolf riders shouted in unison, they rode their horses and rushed towards Tang Xiaohao's position.
Bao Meng looked at Tang Xiaohao, and then looked at the group of war horses that were getting closer and closer, and his whole body trembled.
Tang Xiaohao calculated the distance in his heart and counted down in his heart.
Su Mu clenched the hilt of the knife on his waist, eager to rush forward now, but when the herd of war horses blocked his view of Tang Xiaohao, he still couldn't bear to look at it, so he had to look at Ji Chengying.
Ji Chengying looked directly at where Tang Xiaohao was standing, clenched his fists, and tried not to take his eyes away. He is the Son of Heaven, he is the emperor, and he cannot show cowardice or fear.
Even if Tang Xiaohao died because of this, he had to remain calm, otherwise, the Huayuan Imperial Court would be even more worthless in the eyes of these Rouyuan Iron Horsemen.
Tang Rongrong, Zhan Tianya and Dongshan Xiao in the credit spirit pot couldn't bear to look at it.
At the moment when the herd of war horses rushed to Tang Xiaohao like a tide and submerged it, Childa closed his eyes deadly, but Muqier, who was driving the carriage, stood up with a surprised face.
An Tai, who had been looking at the depression, was also full of surprise, because Tang Xiaohao had disappeared.
Ji Chengying couldn't help but get up, and even stood on tiptoe to look: "What about people?"
Yes, what about people? Everyone outside the stadium was wondering why Tang Xiaohao disappeared?
However, the wolf riders in the field were very clear about Tang Xiaohao's location, but they were helpless.
Because at the moment when the iron horse formation rushed in, Tang Xiaohao rushed forward directly, and after avoiding the horse that collided head-on, he slipped through the gap between the two horses, rushed directly under one of the war horses, grabbed the stirrups with both hands, and then tried to lift his legs.
Although his legs could not be clamped at all because of the fat on the horse's belly, he was able to cling his body under the horse's belly with the support he gained by grasping the stirrups with both hands.
Previously, Tang Xiaohao found that the stirrups and reins were not greased, because once the stirrups were greased, the soldiers of the wolf riding were also easy to fall off, so the only place where the reins and stirrups could be grasped.
If you hold the reins, you can only use your legs to attach them to the horse's neck, but the horse's head is flexible and powerful, and it is easy to be thrown off, so only stirrups can be chosen.
But if you want to hold the stirrup, you can only maintain the strange and difficult posture that now looks like holding the horse's belly.
Although the posture was ugly, it was indeed useful, and the rules stipulated that the soldiers of the wolf rider could not attack him, so the wolf rider had no other way than to order the war horse to jump on the spot and try to throw Tang Xiaohao down.
Because it was necessary to leave room for the horse that Tang Xiaohao grabbed the stirrup to jump, the remaining forty-nine war horses could only be scattered, and the soldiers on the horse just watched helplessly, no one thought that this kid would use this method.
