As the old saying goes, a thousand armies are easy to get, and one is hard to find.

Among the two sides of the confrontation, one side is Xiang Chu, a rising star in the Tang Kingdom after Cai Yong, and the other side is Wang Xuanwei, who has been famous for many years and has even been mythologized.

Thousands of sergeants rushed to the battlefield because of their words, holding high the banner and waving their spears to fight for their lives without hesitation, they were really one of the generals in the army.

People like them are the true soul of an army, and it is precisely because of their existence that they can unite the military spirit of the entire army, decide the victory or defeat of a war, and even determine the national fortunes between one country and another.

Although this is the case, it does not mean that those middle and high-level officers and generals on this battlefield are not important.

An army, as small as dozens or hundreds of people, as large as tens of millions of people, a backbone is of course indispensable, but even people like Xiang Chu and Wang Xuanwei cannot control the entire army by one person.

They want to line up their troops, they want to set up formations, they want to launch a huge attack, they want to shrink back to preserve their own strength, can these orders make them themselves ride their horses around and shout at the top of tens of thousands of people?

What's more, in this army of tens of thousands of people, most of them are illiterate in big characters, and they basically know nothing about the art of war and military formations.

Not to mention, those tactics of dividing troops to raid and flanking on both flanks must let their subordinates adapt on their own.

At such times, the officers and generals who were promoted became the most powerful arms of the commander-in-chief.

On the one hand, they were originally selected from the army, so they naturally have enough prestige in the army to make the people below obey unconditionally, and on the other hand, they already have different qualities from ordinary soldiers in training, and can understand the orders of their superiors and resolutely carry them out.

From them, the commander-in-chief can establish a powerful line to convey their will all the way in such a way.

It is like countless tentacles interspersed in the army, from Chongfu to the regiment, from the brigade to the team, and even to everyone, and finally the entire army is tightly twisted into a rope, like an arm wave.

Troop training and general training have always been one, and only when a general is trained can he become a strong soldier.

Xiang Chu knows this truth very well, so from the first day he took over the southern army, he has already set his eyes on these officers, and the most satisfying thing for him is the dragon horse who has sat on the position of "General Yunlu", and in the Tang Kingdom, he even has the title of "Little Xiang Chu".

Under Xiang Chu's training, countless officers continued to grow, and finally scattered throughout the army, like seeds that were sown, and thrived under the witness of time, giving birth to strong branches and becoming pillars of the army.

Now Wang Xuanwei is threatening him with these pillars.

Perhaps, it is not that he can't lose these pillars, after all, he has already done the laying of this war.

The 40,000 strongest infantry troops of the Tang Kingdom and the 10,000 toughest ironclad cavalry of the Tang Kingdom, with such a lineup, against the light cavalry under Wang Xuanwei's command, which is already less than 9,000 people, can be said to be a sure victory.

Even if Wang Xuanwei's Xuanwei frenzy did bring them some trouble, Xiang Chu also knew very well that no matter how strong Wang Xuanwei was, how long could he maintain such a state?

He is not a god, he is just a cultivator, even if the realm is very high, he will get tired after all, even if he fights for his life and kills dozens or hundreds of officers in the army, he still can't prevent the final outcome of this war.

He only needs to give up the lives of these people, and he can kill Wang Xuanwei with his own hands, this myth that stands proudly above sounds worthwhile, doesn't it?

"But you know, I'm not going to stop there. Xiang Chu ignored the arrow that had been wound, raised his head and sighed lightly, "The deeds that I Xiang Chu want to establish are by no means limited to you Wang Xuanwei, but this vast world!"

In that case, how could he ignore those officers? Without these people, what would he do to face other enemies who were also not weaker than Wang Xuanwei?

Cao Meng and Liu De in the north, and Gao Changgong in the south, are all opponents that he has not yet conquered, and in addition, there are those who have the same identity as him.

Now they are still lurking in the dark, but it is foreseeable that after the death of the Lord, they will also show their minions one by one and stand up in this huge battlefield...... Become his enemy.

He can't afford to lose them until the dust settles.

Xiang Chu's face gradually turned cold, and it seemed that ice had condensed from his eyes, braving a cold chill: "Not bad." You did catch my flaws. ”

But just as the words fell, in Wang Xuanwei's consciousness, he suddenly felt a figure suddenly jump up, shooting at him like an off-string arrow!

Wang Xuan frowned slightly, and as his fingers trembled slightly, the arrows on the bows of the four armorers left the string at the same time.

This time, without Xiang Chu's obstruction, the four arrows completely turned into a terrifying dark golden light on the battlefield, bringing blood and death in different directions.

In the battle array, a Shenwu Heavenly Army held a large shield high, adjusted the spear in his hand to an angle, and aimed his edge as much as possible at the approaching group of Mo family cavalry.

The rumbling drums of war and the sound of shouts of killing made his mouth dry, and his heart beat violently in his chest, with a violent gasp from his mouth. Before the war, he thought it would be a war of annihilation, but after the war, everything that happened turned his expectations upside down.

But even so, he still hissed and roared: "Don't retreat! In the Shenwu Heavenly Army, there are no cowards who are afraid of death, if there is, don't wear this armor." No matter how strong that person is, what if he can still kill us? What's more, General Xiang has already rushed over, and this battle ...... Victory!"

After all, it is the first army of the Tang Kingdom, and everyone in this team can be regarded as an iron-clad man, although he has witnessed how the terrifying insects surging like a tide in front of him gnaw at the armor and devour the shield, but they have always stabilized the battle formation under the control of various generals.

And as time went by, the officer of the Shenwu Heavenly Army could already feel that the Xuanwei in front of him was moving at a slower pace, I don't know if it was because they had eaten too much, or because Wang Xuanwei was constantly getting weak.

But at least by all indications, the group of Mo cavalry who wantonly slashed and killed their robed brothers were losing the layer of protection that was held up by one person.

Dissipate quickly, dissipate quickly, and when this group of damned insects can no longer move forward as before, we will stick you Mo family bitches in the tip of the spear, and use your blood to wash away the humiliation we have endured.

The Shenwu Heavenly Army officer gritted his teeth and muttered in a low voice.

A howling wind blew his eyes under his visor narrowed slightly, and he heard a cracking sound, as if something had suddenly shattered, and some blood-red liquid was suddenly blooming into bewitching flowers.

He felt the slippery liquid running through his chest, and he couldn't help but frown at the pain that ran through him that was burning his nerves, a little strange.

Where did the arrows come from, and how could they penetrate his hard armor?

It's just that this question can no longer be answered in the yang world, because his upper body now falls lightly to the ground, and his eyes are wide open with a bit of confusion, which is quickly covered by the blood spilling from his face armor.

In the military formation, some people died in front of the battle, some died on horseback, some people were still waving flags and shouting before they died, and some people were holding high the flag and glaring ahead before they died.

But no matter what they had been doing before, they couldn't dodge the sharp wind and the cold killing arrow, which pierced through their bodies, shattered their bones, and scattered their flesh on the battlefield they had fought for.

The armor shot four arrows, so the Tang army died four people, if you count Wang Xuanwei's arrow that seriously injured Li Yu before, it can be said that in just such a short time, the Tang army has already lost five generals.

And Wang Xuanwei floated in the air, like a goshawk overlooking the entire battlefield, no one knew when his arrows would be sent out next, and how many people would die on the spot......
