Chapter 19: Mo Dao Array

"Oh, follow the decree of the Immortal Venerable." Lu Wen sang with his hand.

After experiencing the Tulun Moraine encounter and the battle of the Quicksand River, Lu Wen can be said to be convinced of Lu Xiaoning's "immortal" identity, and he also obeys Lu Xiaoning's words unreservedly.

"Next, I will do my best to help you." Lu Xiaoning said.

"Whatever I do, you just say what you came up with."

"Something seems wrong with this." Lu Wen said with a frightened expression, "How dare Wen be greedy for the merits of the Immortal Venerable? ”

"Silly, what's the use of me? I'm not in your world, can I still be promoted after making meritorious contributions? I said that I was destined for you, and you were here to help you succeed, and don't forget what you said yesterday. ”

"Whoa." Lu Wen said solemnly, "Wen said that the saint's family, I choose the family." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the front for you first." After Lu Xiaoning finished speaking, he pulled up the camera.

Pull the lens up to a hundred meters in the air, and the field of view immediately widens.

……

The time came to the tenth day of the first month.

The camel caravan circled for more than 200 miles before finally bypassing the quicksand river and gradually penetrating into the center of the Tulun moraine.

At this time, all you can see is the rolling yellow sand and the towering Karakoram Mountains in the distance.

"Cui team is positive, the towering in front is the Ni Python Mountain, over the Ni Python Yi Mountain is the Sailu River Valley, along the Sailu River Valley and then fifty miles west to our Saylu Castle."

Pei Zhen urged the war horse to come behind Cui He and said earnestly.

Cui He ignored Pei Zhen, and Pei Zhen was bored.

When he was embarrassed, Lu Wen, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped, raised his hand and shouted, "Stop advancing!" ”

"What's wrong, head?" Du Yue leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Is there any warning from Immortal Venerable?" ”

"Shut up, what Immortal Venerable, where did Immortal Venerable come from?" Lu Wen reprimanded in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you, Immortal Venerable has already returned to the Heavenly Realm, and he will not mention it in front of people in the future." ”

"Whoa." Du Yue sang and retreated in confusion.

I met Xianzun that day, why can't I say it in front of people?

Lu Wen shouted loudly again: "Everyone, get off the horse and put on your armor!" ”

"Armor?" Cui He's expression froze, and he asked, "There are Tubo dogs?" ”

"Well, there's a Tibetan dog in front." Lu Wen said, "Please put on the armor of the Mo Knife Team quickly." ”

Cui He put his hand on the canopy and looked ahead for a moment, and said suspiciously: "How did you know?" ”

"Intuition." Lu Wen said solemnly, "Whenever there is danger approaching, I will feel palpitations and uneasiness, and I feel this way when it is right, if nothing else, the Tubo army will soon appear in front of us." ”

Of course, it was not intuition, but Immortal Venerable had been providing him with accurate information all along.

In fact, as early as half an hour ago, Xianzun had already discovered this Tubo cavalry.

Then Xianzun had been monitoring this Tubo army, and at this time the two armies were less than three miles away.

"Intuition?" Cui He pouted noncommittally, but still instructed the Mo Dao soldier behind him, "Get off the horse and put on your armor!" ”

Including Cui He, the fifty Mo Sword soldiers of the Mo Dao Team immediately turned over and dismounted, and took off their armor and weapons from the spare horses that specially carried baggage.

The Mo Dao soldiers of the Tang Army were infantry, but this did not mean that the Mo Dao soldiers did not have war horses.

In fact, the Modao soldiers not only had horses, but also two horses, in addition to the war horse, there was also a horse used to carry weapons and armor and baggage, and sometimes used to transfer.

In addition, the Mo Sword Soldier also has its own auxiliary soldiers.

It's just that Cui He's Mo Dao team didn't bring auxiliaries this time.

Without auxiliaries to help with armor, they can only help each other.

Pei Zhen volunteered to come forward again to put on armor for Cui He, but Cui He did not refuse his kindness this time.

With Pei Zhen's help, he put on the Mingguang armor and buckled the phoenix wings on his head, Cui He finally took off the Mo knife that was on the side of the saddle and threw the tail into the sand.

The rest of the forty-nine Mo sword soldiers also lined up behind Cui He after putting on their armor.

In the blink of an eye, the Modao team set up a common battle formation-cone formation.

Standing alone proudly at the front of the cone formation, it was naturally the team leader Cui He.

About three steps behind Cui He is the flag bearer, that is, the flag bearer of the Mo Dao team.

About three steps behind the holding flag are two Qi flags, which are misplaced with the holding flag in the shape of a zigzag.

The meaning of the flag is the alternate flag bearer, and once the flag is killed, they have to make up for it.

Three steps behind the Qi Qi are seven Mo Dao soldiers in the first row, then eight Mo Dao soldiers in the second row, then nine Mo soldiers in the third row, then ten Mo Dao soldiers in the fourth row and eleven Mo Dao soldiers in the fifth row, and the deputy at the end.

The five rows of Mo knife soldiers are all arranged in dislocation, and the distance is also three steps, the reason is also very simple, the total length of the Mo knife is about one zhang, and the combat method is to chop and pick, open and close, and it is easy to be injured by mistake if it is too close to each other.

Therefore, the distance between the Mo sword soldiers must be greater than three steps.

[Note: One step in the Tang Dynasty is one step for Li Shimin's left and right feet, about 1.55 meters]

Seeing this, Du Yue subconsciously wanted to urge him to step forward and prepare to stand in front of the Mo Dao team.

Seeing this, Lu Wen hurriedly stopped and reprimanded in a low voice: "Du Yue, don't provoke the Modao team. ”

"Lu Tou, how can I provoke." Du Yue defended, "I just want to kill the enemy side by side with them. ”

Lu Wen said: "There is no robe in front of the Mo Dao team, if you dare to stand in front of the Mo Dao team, it is a provocation to the Mo Dao team, and they will chop you and the Tubo dog together." ”

"Is the Modao team so horizontal?" Du Yue said awe-inspiringly.

Pei Zhen said: "Of course, the Modao team has always been arrogant. ”

"Then I have to try to join the Modao team as soon as possible." Du Yue was leisurely fascinated.

Lu Wen patted Du Yue on the shoulder and said, "With your physique and skills, sooner or later you will join the Mo Dao team, and maybe you will have a chance to become a catcher under Tian Yuanjun." ”

"Catch the Dead?" Du Yue said, "Will it be very majestic to catch life?" ”

"He is the general under Li Yuanjun, and Li Yuanjun and Tian Zhijun were both generals." Cui He, who was standing at the front of Pei Zhenchong's Mo Dao team, pouted, and said, "Do you think they are majestic?" ”

"Both envoys were once life catchers?"

Du Yue was leisurely fascinated.

……

Lu Xiaoning's camera has always stayed on Cui He's Modao team.

It wasn't until a distant horn sounded that Lu Xiaoning took the camera away from the Modao team and turned to a sand dune about two miles ahead.

At the sound of the horn, a cavalry slowly emerged from the back of the dune.

Lu Xiaoning pushed the camera closer and gave a close-up close-up, only to see that this Tubo cavalry was wearing iron armor and a three-pointed helmet, obviously a Tubo nobleman, and his costume should be a Dongben.

The Tubo military system, divided into five, such as, set up as this, as follows, there is Dongdai, set up Dongben.

Dongben is equivalent to a commander of a thousand, but the actual number of troops he has varies from hundreds to thousands, and Zampu's pro-army may even reach tens of thousands.

Tubo Dongben glanced at the Tang army under the sand dunes with sharp eyes, and then raised his right hand high, and behind the sand dunes behind him, a steady stream of Tubo cavalry appeared, full of hundreds of horsemen.

……

Cui He, who was standing proudly in front of the formation, couldn't help but glance back at Lu Wen.

Originally, I thought that Lu Wen was just talking casually, but I didn't expect that there were really Tubo cavalry!

This guy's instincts are terrifying.

When I looked back again, I saw that the Tibetan cavalry on the opposite side had rushed down the sand dunes.

The leading Tubo military general even urged the war horse and rushed straight towards him.

Seeing this, the corners of Cui He's mouth immediately showed a sneer, I don't know whether to live or die Tubo dog!

The Tibetan cavalry launched a tidal charge, and hundreds of iron hooves trampled the sand furiously, making a dull knocking sound while stirring up the sand and dust.

When about a hundred paces apart, the Tibetan cavalry brushed their bows and arrows.

Cui He sneered, unfastened his armor and buckled it into the buckle of the phoenix wing helmet.

The Mo knife soldier behind him also unbuckled his armor and buckled it into the pocket buckle at the same time.

In an instant, the fifty Tang Mo sword soldiers in the array were all wearing black metal face armor, and only the slender eye holes revealed a sharp gaze, majestic like a mortal heavenly general.

……

Lu Xiaoning happened to turn the camera back and re-aim at the Modao team.

A gust of wind blew, and the cloak of the Mo Dao soldier floated into the air with the wind, tumbling and flying, like waves of red hurricanes, coupled with the shining bright light armor and Mo Dao under the slanting sun, it was simply handsome out of the sky.

At this time, the first wave of arrows fired by the Tibetan cavalry had already fallen from mid-air.

There were a lot of arrows shot at the Mo Bing Knife, and the clanging sound of impact was instantaneous.

However, the fifty Mo sword soldiers did not move, and the light arrows of the Tubo cavalry did not hurt them in the slightest.

Not only light arrows, but also heavy armor-piercing arrows shot by the Tubo cavalry when they approached within thirty paces, they also failed to pose the slightest threat to the Mo sword soldiers, and the Mingguang armor was really strong.
