Chapter 522: All Changes
"Go over there!" Qin Ke ran towards a high slope, and Abu followed closely.
When he took a step and ran, Qin Ke subconsciously glanced back.
Wang Xuanwei's figure was still standing on the plain, and there were traces of the battle between the two all around him, countless potholes and rubble, looking like a huge ruin.
The struggle between the Mo cavalry and the Shenwu Heavenly Army did not affect him, only the dust that was swept up by the wind continued to rise and fall.
He was like a completely forgotten man, lonely and looking a little pitiful.
The little black on his shoulder screamed softly, as if to make an inquiry.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Qin Ke always felt that his voice had changed a little, and it sounded very similar...... A baby's murmur?
"Nothing. Qin Ke smiled softly, "You are really heavy now, I will consider whether I can let you lie on my shoulder in the future." ”
Xiao Hei blinked, lowered his head and observed his current body, as if he was a little puzzled, thinking that he hadn't grown much bigger, why was it so heavy?
When the two of them climbed the high slope, in the distance, they could finally see the cavalry slowly marching, although from the distance, it was difficult for them to read a high letter written in thick ink on the banner, but Abu recognized the outfit of the group of cavalry for the first time.
"Qingzhou ghost ride!" Abu became excited, "It's Brother Changgong who has arrived!"
Qin Ke's heart was also excited, he had been the first to know the connection between Gao Changgong and Wang Xuanwei, but from the beginning of the war to the present, Gao Changgong has not appeared, which made Qin Ke almost think that something was wrong with Gao Changgong.
Now, he finally witnessed tens of thousands of elite horsemen marching forward, stepping out of the dusty sky, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
At this time, Abu probably guessed Xiang Chu's thoughts, and said: "Xiang Chu probably wants to leave some spare strength, after all, it is difficult for General Wang to pose any threat now, but Brother Changgong and Qingzhou Ghost Rider ...... has been recuperating, and his qi and blood must be at their peak. ”
"In that case, what's the point of him staying?" Qin Ke said puzzledly: "He has just fought with Wang Xuanwei for so long, and it is estimated that he has reached the weakest time, even if he has spare strength, how can he beat Gao Changgong too much?"
Abu shook his head, hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't say it, there are naturally places like top masters like them that we can't reach...... Although Xiang Chu is indeed physically weak now, he has just defeated Wang Xuanwei, and from the perspective of momentum, it will not decrease but increase, and if he fights again...... It's really hard to say what happened. ”
"I don't understand. Qin Ke sighed, "I really don't know what shortcut they have taken to actually be able to cultivate to this point...... Alas, when it comes to cultivation, I'm getting more and more desperate now. ”
Abu smiled, still not telling Qin Ke what he had secretly made up his mind before.
"General. Seeing that Xiang Chu finally came back, Li Wu, who was a little nervous, breathed a long sigh of relief.
Although Xiang Chu seems to be really embarrassed now, his long hair is scattered and fluttering, and his upper body is even less stranded, covered with tiny bloody mouths, and in the battle with Wang Xuanwei, he is covered with loess, and the whole person looks like a black bear that has just come out of the pit.
But so what?
In terms of fighting alone, I am afraid that no one in the entire Shenwu Heavenly Army can confront Wang Xuanwei head-on, let alone win in battle.
Li Yu's self-confessed qi and blood cultivation has reached the realm of a little grandmaster, and he can be regarded as a rising star, but he almost died under Wang Xuanwei's arrow.
However, Xiang Chu didn't care about Li Yu's opinion of him, he just looked at the Qingzhou ghost rider who was getting closer and closer, and finally put his eyes on the white-clothed ghost-faced general in front of the queue, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What about Miss Luo." ”
Li Mo was slightly stunned, not knowing why Xiang Chu suddenly mentioned this person.
There is indeed a Luo girl in the army, and the woman in red is still an envoy sent by Canghai, but this battlefield is fierce and bloody, is it possible to wait for a woman to stand in front of the battle and point fingers?
If you don't understand, you don't understand, Li Mo didn't neglect Xiang Chu's arrangements at that time, and said in a low voice: "Miss Luo is in the rear army formation, in order to protect her, I deliberately let a hundred Shenwu Heavenly Army follow her, I think there shouldn't be any problems." ”
"Protecting her thoroughly?" Xiang Chu showed a mocking smile, "I'm afraid that we will be the ones who need to be protected for a while...... Tell me, how many people have come to this Qingzhou ghost riding scale?"
"At least forty thousand, or even ...... More than 50,000. "Judging the size of the army from the dust raised, it is a compulsory course for generals, and Li Yu is from a famous family, familiar with military books, and judges the number of opponents' formations often only needs a glance.
It's just that he still had some doubts about Xiang Chu's words just now, and said, "General, even if it is 50,000 Qingzhou ghost horses, what can they do in front of the Shenwu Heavenly Army?"
The Shenwu Heavenly Army was a formidable force established by the Tang State to deal with the cavalry of various countries, with solid armor, sharp spears, and changing formations...... It is enough to cut off the possibility of cavalry charging, unless the charge is the tiger and leopard cavalry of the sea, otherwise with the Shenwu Heavenly Army like an iron wall, dare to engulf all opponents who try to break through.
Xiang Chu shook his head, a little disappointed in Li Wu's opinion: "Although the turtle is very hard, it does not mean that it is invulnerable, if the Shenwu Heavenly Army is really as brave as a heavenly soldier, then my Tang Kingdom has already dominated the world, isn't it? Not to mention that in the face of Jing Wu, we are not invincible." ”
Although there has always been friction on the border between Tang and Jing Wu, there are very few real major wars, but who will forget when Jing and Wu had just established the country and Tang had an army of 200,000 troops to the south?
Although the commander of that battle was Cai Yong, Xiang Chu was just a partial general, and he was far from reaching his current high position, but after all, he had personally experienced that battle, and of course he was deeply impressed by Jing Wu's Qingzhou ghost cavalry and Gao Changgong.
"The heavy infantry was strong and not afraid of light cavalry charges, but it was a fatal flaw that it was slow. Compared with the Qingzhou ghost ride, which is known for its speed, it is more like a crippled with a lame leg...... Xuanjia heavy riding is the same, and the iron armor weighing dozens of catties is not conducive to their long-distance attack at all. Xiang Chu was well aware of the shortcomings of the army under his command, and continued: "Once dragged into the quagmire of a protracted war, the heavy armor and shields on our army will not only fail to protect them, but will even become a burden. ”
Li Yu looked at Xiang Chu and said, "Does the general think that Gao Changgong will use the Qingzhou ghost horse to deal with us and consume our food, grass and physical strength?"
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head and said: "But the current terrain is favorable to us, to maneuver, they should not appear at this time, but should take advantage of our complete victory and withdraw outward, at that time, most of the army will be lax, the formation is scattered, and they can also have a wider space to act......"
The dry river, which was originally dry, has now been filled with water, and this seemingly vast plain has been split in half, and it is precisely because of this that the Tang army can intercept the Mo cavalry.
Judging from the current terrain, the Qingzhou ghost cavalry does not even have a little room for detours, and now that the two armies are facing each other, their formation is difficult to develop at all.
"I don't know. ”
"Don't know?" Li Yu was stunned, "General...... Then we ......"
