Chapter 545: Array Kill (1st Shift)
In the minds of almost all the people of Dayong, the southern border does not belong to Dayong, and even more so in the army.
It's a barbarian land, a place that everyone spurns for, and only the villains and bastards are sent to the South.
As long as the Dayong army passes through the southern border, it will indulge in plunder, which is already the norm.
Although there is no oil and water to scrape in the south, there is always food to grab, after all, every family has to eat.
What's more important is to be able to live a woman's addiction.
For the marching people, the sow is like a sable cicada, and if she doesn't vent for a long time, how can she not be excited when she finally tastes the taste of a woman.
Desperately rushing to make the morale of the army low, and women can raise morale quickly, not to mention that they don't pay attention to the southern army at all.
An army composed of a group of old oilers, they are full of disdain in their hearts and feel vulnerable.
"Let's go! South!" Duan Rui snorted.
He has deep internal strength, and he can hear it clearly in the entire army.
"Boom ......" The earth shook, and the yellow dust rolled, as if a giant dragon was going south from the north gate of the town, and it did not disperse in the sky for a long time.
As soon as they stepped into the southern border, the Golden Armor General Yi Hanyuan frowned at the high-speed gallop and said, "Something is not right!"
This is the intuition condensed by the battlefield battle, which is a little sharper than the intuition of a martial arts master.
He smelled something unusual.
Duan Rui followed him and asked in a low voice, "General, is there anything wrong?"
"Don't you think it's too quiet?" Yi Hanyuan said in a deep voice.
The guards were surrounded by a completely safe area, and they drove in the center of the army.
Yi Hanyuan said in a deep voice: "Send forward sentinels and let them be more careful, I don't feel right!"
"Yes!" Duan Rui clenched his fists and saluted, knocked the horse's belly, accelerated and galloped, and quickly found the front camp and arranged for forty sentry scouts to go down.
Ten people and one sentry, divided into four ways forward.
After the army walked out of ten miles, there was still no sentinel coming back, and Duan Rui also felt that something was wrong.
He hurried back to report.
"No news?" Yi Hanyuan frowned and said, "No news has come back?"
"Nope. Duan Rui shook his head and said in a deep voice: "General, it's better to stop first and wait for them." β
Yi Hanyuan shook his head.
Duan Rui hurriedly said: "They may be in danger. β
"Send someone to investigate again, a team of fifty people!" Yi Hanyuan said.
"Yes!" Duan Rui clenched his fists and saluted, quickly ran to the front, and arranged for two hundred sentries to be dispatched again.
The march of the army slowed down, waiting for news of the two hundred sentinels.
The two hundred cavalry divided into four ways and quickly disappeared from Duan Rui's field of vision.
The army marched for five miles, but there was still no sign from these sentry agents, which made Duan Rui's heart begin to hairy.
"General, something is not right, I'll go and find out myself!" he came to Yi Hanyuan's side and hugged his fists.
β...... Don't let the sentry out. Yi Hanyuan shook his head: "Don't go out." β
"But the general ......," Duan Rui was anxious.
Two hundred and forty cavalrymen, all of them are elite, and if they are not elite, they will not become sentinels.
As a result, he disappeared quietly, he was very unwilling, maybe they were in trouble at this time and needed support from Paoze.
"It is said that our Southern Lord is good at formations. Yi Hanyuan said slowly: "They are likely to fall into the formation. β
"Formation?!" Duan Rui frowned: "The technique of military formation?"
"The formation is different from the military formation. Yi Hanyuan glanced around: "The military formation uses the sergeants to induce hallucinations, and the formation uses the power of heaven and earth to affect the five senses. β
"How powerful is that formation?"
"It depends on the level of the people who set it up. Yi Hanyuan said: "The power of heaven and earth is not so easy to borrow, you need to understand the mystery of the operation of heaven and earth, just think about it, how complex and terrifying it is,...... There are very few people in the world who are good at formations, and most of them can only get a glimpse of the mystery by studying hard. β
"King Nan is young, and he is good at formations?"
"You should know a little bit about it, he's so old, it's definitely a boast to say that he's good at it. β
Duan Rui breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Hanyuan said: "But this trace of fur can't be underestimated, those probe horses are likely to fall into the formation." β
"Then what if we ...... too"
"There are so many of us, no matter how big the formation is, we can't accommodate it, so we don't have to be afraid. Yi Hanyuan said lightly: "This is just a small skill, and it is vulnerable in front of the dignified army!"
Duan Rui smiled.
He then frowned: "But General, what about the sentry we are hiding?
Yi Hanyuan held back his eyes and didn't speak.
Duan Rui's heart froze, and he immediately understood what he meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly: "But the general ......"
The two hundred and forty sentinels are all elites, and if they just give them up, not to mention the love of robes, even from the position of the Changchun battalion, it will be a huge loss.
Yi Hanyuan shook his head: "We can't break the formation." β
"All of us are out and can break through those formations, right?"
"How do you know where they are trapped? Do you want to sweep them one by one?"
"Generalββ!
"Shut up and move on!"
β...... Yes!" Duan Rui took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, and the army could only obey orders.
After walking for about thirty miles, Yi Hanyuan's face was as usual, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Duan Rui knew him and knew that it was due to nervousness.
Yi Hanyuan, as the commander-in-chief, of course, can't be happy and angry, the more serious it is, the more it can't be shown, so as to set the heart of the army.
"General!" Duan Rui was suddenly overjoyed, and pointed to the distance: "There!"
Yi Hanyuan looked over there, and there was a faint black spot.
He had a lot of experience in marching, and he knew that there were villages and buildings at a glance, and his spirits couldn't help but be lifted.
"There's something good up ahead!" Duan Rui yelled.
The soldiers' spirits suddenly perked up, and their eyes lit up.
The thought of being able to indulge in presumptuousness right away suddenly made me feel full of energy.
The village in the distance is becoming clearer and clearer, and you can see the smoke curling from the cooking, and the faint sound of chickens and dogs barking.
This made the cavalry more energetic, and the march couldn't help but accelerate.
Duan Rui shouted: "Whoever grabs it first is counted, no dispute is allowed, the southern border is so big, what can be grabbed is more, this village can't grab it, the next village can grab it!"
"Yes!" the crowd agreed.
"First Battalion, you are on alert!"
β...... It was ββ!" more than 200 soldiers responded weakly.
This means that they can't get involved, they can't get the first soup, and it's a tough taste.
Watching others indulge in carnivals, but I can only stand on the sidelines and watch.
"Charge!" Duan Rui yelled.
"Rushing to the ββ!" everyone accelerated excitedly.
Even at this time, they maintained their formation and did not fall apart, the result of rigorous training.
"Bang bang bang......" One by one, the horses suddenly fell to their knees and rolled over.
Immediately the knight flew out, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he pulled the reins sharply and stabbed him obliquely.
The horses turned to the side, avoiding the front, like a stream of water meeting a stone and dividing on both sides.
Under the high-speed charge, it is impossible to stop the horse, otherwise the horse behind will knock him down and crush him, and the only way to turn is to turn to the sides.
"Bang bang bang!" the horses that had rushed to either side fell to their knees, turning their heads and neighing.
The knights on horseback had already flown out.
Some of them were armed with martial arts, and after they landed, they wanted to urge them to jump back to their horses, but crossbow arrows suddenly appeared on both sides.
Anyone who leaps into the air is shot into a hedgehog by a crossbow arrow.
So there were those who jumped forward on the ground, but as soon as they jumped on horseback, they immediately came with crossbow arrows.
These crossbow arrows seem to appear out of thin air, and there is no one to see who shoots the crossbow, only the crossbow arrows break through the air.
"Ahββ!h
"Damn! Damn!"
"Grandma's ββ!"
......
The angry scolding was endless, and one by one the knights fell to the ground with arrows and cursed angrily on the ground.
"Turn it upside down!" Yi Hanyuan, who was in the Chinese army, roared angrily.
As a grandmaster, his voice was even louder, shaking everyone's hearts.
His face was gloomy, and his heart was as angry as a flame.
He was angry at his stupidity, and knew something was wrong, so why didn't he inquire before he charged?
Why did his brain seem to be frozen, only thinking about the army pressing the realm and breaking the formation, but he didn't expect that this time the southern border didn't use the formation, and only used a simple trap in the horse pit, and more than a thousand cavalry were lost.
At his command, the cavalrymen in the last row turned their horses and ran back, and the penultimate row followed suit.
Row by row in order.
In the absence of engagement, it is not difficult to turn such an array, but if the enemy fights, it is not so easy to turn around.
"Snort......" As soon as they turned their heads, the crossbow arrows rained down on their hoods.
These crossbow arrows appeared out of thin air, and no one was seen except for the arrows.
The knights' hearts were troubled.
It seems to be an arrow shot by a ghost, a yin arrow, how can it not be scary?
The theory of ghosts and gods is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it also hurts morale the most.
The originally high morale suddenly leaked, and the idea of fleeing was inexplicable.
"Pretend to be a ghost!" Yi Hanyuan stopped drinking: "All the string controllers listen to the order and shoot me in the direction of the front!"
"Yes!" a thousand or so string controllers shot forward with crossbows, exactly the same direction from which the crossbow arrows had come from.
The crossbow bolt shot into the air and fell tens of meters away.
It was empty, and no figure appeared.
When they were slightly stunned, a crossbow arrow suddenly appeared out of thin air, and they were enveloped in the head.
The crossbow arrows were even more powerful than them, and those who were hit by the arrows fell to the ground one after another, and the iron armor on their bodies could not stop the crossbow arrows, and the round shields worn by each of them did not help.
The round shield can only block one side, but it can't block the crossbow arrows fired from all directions.
"General, let's retreat first!" Duan Rui turned his head and said in a deep voice: "It's too weird here!"
Yi Hanyuan glanced around.
Crossbow arrows appeared out of thin air all around, surrounding them and shooting the knights without shooting the horses.
After the knights stopped charging, they lost their power, and they were trapped and unable to move, and they shot arrows in vain to counterattack, but the arrows could only shoot into the air and fall to the ground, and there was no one to be seen.
It was as if they were fighting with the air, in vain and desperate.
"Recoil ββ!" Yi Hanyuan roared: "Rush out with me!"
"Rush ββ!," Duan Rui roared.
As soon as the Chinese army moved, the rear army became the front army, and the front army became the rear army, and the round shield covered the body and rushed forward desperately.
They rushed two hundred meters, and finally no more crossbow bolts came.
Yi Hanyuan ran for more than 500 meters before stopping, turned his head to look around, and half of the eight thousand cavalry were lost this time!
His face was so gloomy that he could drip water.
"General, it was the formation just now, right?" Duan Rui said: "It's too weird and unpredictable, a method that I have never seen before!"
Half of what he said was to find Yi Hanyuan under the stairs, and the other half was sincere, it was indeed the first time he had encountered such a strange thing.
Those string controllers had to hide in the formation to do that kind of weird thing.
The crossbow arrows can't shoot them, but they can shoot their own side, which is simply a one-sided attack.
"If it weren't for the general's decisiveness, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to get out!" Duan Rui shook his head and sighed.
Yi Hanyuan's face was gloomy.
"General, I guess they're picking up bargains now, and if you kill a horse pistol now......"
