From the sudden invitation to fight, to the fall of the three barbarian warriors one after another, the whole process is nothing more than tea. Li Qing held his lance high and slowly drove the Wild Horse King to walk on the battlefield, the barbarian side was silent, but the morale of the Sui army was greatly boosted, and the cheers resounded in the sky.

For a while, the barbarian camp did not have the next warrior who dared to play.

Seeing such a scene, the barbarian commander knew that he could no longer fight with the Sui army, so he personally took the drum hammer and beat the war drum. After a commotion in the barbarian array, a shout of "Huh, Huh, Drink!Drink!" was launched, which meant that the barbarian army was ready to line up and attack the Sui army.

Li Qing is also a descendant of Jiangmen, and he naturally understands this kind of movement very well, so he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he directly turned the horse's head and ran towards the main formation. Just when Li Qing rode the Wild Horse King and ran to a distance of only more than ten zhang from the main formation, a cold light suddenly flashed in the barbarian phalanx, and a cold arrow shot at the back of Li Qing's head.

If it is an ordinary general, at this time, someone suddenly has a cold arrow, and in the hundreds of thousands of people shouting, it will not be able to find it, even if someone on the side finds it and can remind it in time, for the target of the cold arrow, it will be too late to dodge.

But Li Qing is different, even if he doesn't cultivate the foundation building method of the Taiqing lineage, just the effect of the Guifu Dan Durian Light Body Title given by Lin Xiao made Li Qing already alert at the same time that the cold arrow was shot at the same time that the cold arrow was coming to the back of Li Qing's head, and the long lance in Li Qing's hand struck the back, and with a soft sound of "poof", the cold arrow flew to the sky with a cold light. Li Qing immediately turned the horse's head again, stretched out his left hand, and caught the arrow falling from the sky, and at the same time hung the longlance on the saddle bridge with his right hand, and copied the longbow behind his back in his hand with his backhand.

It's considered to be returned to the original owner, but the original owner used not his own hands to greet this arrow, but his own head.

Li Qing's lightning-like arrow hit the sneak attacker's head, and the head with the iron helmet was undoubtedly pierced by the powerful arrow, and the blood-colored arrow even passed through the back of the iron helmet, with a hint of white on it.

The barbarian archer who was hit by the arrow shook on the horse's back, and one fell down the horse.

The archers were the main generals of the barbarian army this time, and when they saw that the sharpshooters under their command were only killed by the arrows they shot, their hearts couldn't help but fall into the abyss. Not for anything else, but the archer who invested in Li Qing is a famous condor archer on the barbarian grassland, and if he claims to be the second in the vanguard army of the barbarians going south this time, no one dares to call himself the first master.

But he was killed by his own arrows like this, or under the premise of his sneak attack, he was killed by his own arrows, and the barbarian generals around the commander of the barbarian army were all as pale as earth.

But there is no time for these barbarian generals to regret it. With the beating of the barbarian war drums, the phalanx of barbarian warriors had begun to move forward, and the speed was getting faster and faster. And the Sui army also beat the war drums, with the shouts of the Sui soldiers, the distance between the two armies is getting closer and closer, and the soldiers also start to fast forward in small steps from a neat walk, and then accelerate and start trotting.

The slight difference from the actions of the barbarian army is that the advance speed of the Sui army's array is slower, not that the Sui army will not speed up and run, but that it is insisting on the integrity of the queue. Moreover, the distribution of the Sui army's arms is more hierarchical, the first, second, and third columns of the Sui soldiers are all holding a shield in one hand, a straight knife in the other, and the iron armor on their bodies strictly protects their heads, necks, and chests, and only their arms and legs are not protected by iron armor; however, the barbarian soldiers on the opposite side do not have such good equipment, and at most they wear a certain iron helmet on their heads, or they have a leather armor on their bodies, no shield, and their hands are either broadswords or short-handled maces.

Just when the armies of the two sides were more than ten steps away from each other and were about to meet each other in a short manner, a dense black dot flew up from behind the Sui army's formation, which was the Sui army's attack on the enemy's big killing weapon, crossbow arrows.

The crossbow arrows used by the Sui army now are not single-shot crossbows with single arrows, but the crossbows invented by Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Hu went out of the camp with 200,000 troops, but among these 200,000 troops, there were 50,000 archers, and in addition to each of them with a ten-round repeating crossbow, they also carried a bow and twenty arrows, and at the same time carried a scimitar at their waists.

The 50,000 crossbowmen each fired ten rounds, that is, 500,000 arrows, overwhelmingly smashing into the barbarian camp, and the rain of arrows in the sky was like a vast dark cloud in the air, slapping on the face of the barbarian army, and countless screams immediately sounded in the barbarian army camp, and the barbarian formation was also chaotic.

The chaos in the rear of the barbarians immediately affected the barbarian soldiers who were at the forefront and were about to come into contact with the Sui saber and shield soldiers.

In front of the barbarian army's phalanx, pieces of soldiers fell in an instant, and the Sui saber and shield soldiers continued to advance without any loss, stepping on the corpses of the barbarian soldiers.

It's just that after being attacked by the rain of arrows, the phalanx restored order again in a short time, and the speed of the Sui saber and shield soldiers involuntarily slowed down, without him, the barbarian army's strength was too strong, and it was twice the number of Sui troops who went to war!

Although the rain of arrows before the Sui army engaged in the battle was abrupt and the barbarian army was defenseless, it was only able to kill sixty or seventy thousand barbarian soldiers - they were numerous and arranged too closely, but the Sui army's arrow rain was also as dense, so it was not 500,000 arrows that could kill 500,000 barbarian soldiers, because a large number of arrows would be shot at the same barbarian.

And 60,000 or 70,000 troops, for the vanguard of the barbarian army with a total strength of more than 500,000, is just a basin of water in the big river, and it really can't make many waves. Compared with the damage brought by the archers, the actual lethality of the sword and shield men at the forefront of the Sui army is more significant, at least the three rows of soldiers at the front of the phalanx of the barbarian army are not left now!

In other words, just at the first moment of the war, the barbarians lost a full quarter of their fighting forces, which was definitely a huge loss for the barbarians. Now, the barbarian army is only two-to-one with the Sui army (not counting the archers)!

Li Qing, who was originally at the forefront of the Sui army, was already in the rear of the Sui army according to military regulations at this time, standing with Li Hu and the heavy armored iron cavalry of the Sui army, ready to lead the iron cavalry to charge the barbarian army at any time.

It is said that for the barbarian army, it is still led by cavalry warfare, only cavalry is the opponent of cavalry, but compared with the grassland barbarians, the number of cavalry of the Sui army is still too small, 200,000 troops in the battle, including 50,000 archers, and only 20,000 cavalry, but this is almost half of the number of cavalry of the Sui army, of course, this refers to the real cavalry, there is a kind of cavalry in the Sui army, although there are horses and armor, but these people can only be called infantry on horseback at most- Heavy infantry is specially used to deal with the ironclad cavalry troops of the barbarians.

Therefore, in fact, there were only 100,000 people who fought directly against the barbarian soldiers on the front line! The other 30,000 were the reserves directly controlled by the commander Li Hu, or the most elite troops in the Chinese army, which were used to make the final decision at the last moment. As a veteran of the battlefield, Li Hu will never put these 30,000 troops into the front line at the first time.

As the barbarian camp slowly restored order, the Sui army's advance began to falter and began to be a little weak.

What made Li Hu even more annoyed was that black smoke began to rise from the rear of the barbarian formation, and gradually began to move towards the Sui army.

"Sir, look at the black smoke behind the barbarian formation. Based on the old man's experience, it is estimated that the shaman of the barbarian tribe has started to do it, I wonder if Mr. can deal with it?" Li Hu turned to look at Lin Xiao and said.

"Well, from the point of view of the poor Dao, this black smoke is not a magic spell, but like countless worms, and it seems to be closer to the Gu worms in the Miao Barbarian region. But the head of the Li family doesn't have to worry, the poor road has a way to deal with it. As he spoke, a faint multicolored brilliance flashed above Lin Xiao's head, and he sacrificed the five dragon wheels and flew directly towards the black smoke behind the barbarian army.

However, Lin Xiao did not plan to let the Five Dragon Wheels go to the black smoke, but stopped the Five Dragon Wheels above the phalanx behind the barbarian army, the brilliance flashed, and the five fire dragons disappeared in a flash, but at the height where the black smoke was about to fly, there was a faint light distortion - this was the thermal effect of the air distortion caused by the intense high temperature.

Lin Xiao's Five Dragons Wheel came first, laying a wall of fire behind the barbarian army, but the countless black smoke rising from the barbarian camp did not drift directly in the direction of the battlefield, but kept rising. Lin Xiao felt very bad in his heart, but then he understood what the situation was - the five dragon wheels he sacrificed felt extremely consumed in a short period of time, and there seemed to be a large number of different breaths dissolving the invisible flames emitted by the five dragon wheels, if it wasn't for the invisible flames, Lin Xiao could watch the wall of fire disappear one after another with his naked eyes.

In the past, Lin Xiao had seen the suppression of Daoshu by the military formation, which was very similar to the current situation. I couldn't help but open the pupil technique and use the qi technique to carefully observe the front of the two armies. This observation was immediately discovered.

In the sky above the place where the two armies are fighting, there are countless black and red pillars of air, which is the power of qi and blood inspired by the bloody battle of the soldiers, once the wall of five elements of flame emitted by the five dragon wheels encounters these black and red qi and blood power, it will be annihilated in pairs, no wonder Lin Xiao feels a little difficult with the accumulation of mana now, and it is no wonder that the shaman wizards in the barbarian army camp are unwilling to directly let the black smoke go straight to the front of the two armies.
