Chapter 24: The Power of the Tide (Part 2)
Buddha Xiao, Li Ye came to the riverbank. He didn't ride a horse, and when he cultivated to the real realm, he didn't need a horse.
The sky is not yet bright, the four fields are blue, the Yellow River is vast and vast, and the opposite bank is hidden in the fog, I don't know what kind of danger it has.
In front of Li Ye, hundreds of soldiers who were preparing to build the head part of the pontoon bridge were ready. Behind him, there were three thousand horsemen with wolf teeth in a strict formation, and the armor soldiers were silent and their eyes were sharp. Even the war horses were silent, only one or two snouts were heard from time to time. Behind them, there is the ironclad army like a tide.
Li Ye slowly rose into the air, looked at the other side of the Yellow River, and the sound of the order was like a morning bell and a dusk drum, spreading far away: "Build a bridge!"
Hundreds of Tsing Yi swordsmen took the first step and flew from the pontoon bridge to the other side. Hundreds of soldiers followed, carrying various supplies, and rushed to the pontoon bridge in an orderly manner.
On the other side of the Yellow River, behind a forest, more than 100 Qi cultivators gathered, and 10,000 elite horsemen who had just arrived at night. At the front of these people, Cao Xijin was on horseback, looking intently at the Yellow River.
"Report! The Pinglu army has begun to build the pontoon bridge! It is expected that the pontoon bridge will be completed in an hour!" The scout galloped to the horse, dismounted and reported to Cao Xijin.
Cao Xijin frowned and said nothing, and his adjutant general asked, "If the Pinglu army is allowed to build a bridgehead, their army will cross the river." Shall we send the monks and give them a head start now, and destroy the pontoon?"
Cao Xijin was confident: "No need. Let them fix the bridgehead, and I'll take advantage of it halfway through!"
"The general is wise!"
Cao Xijin sneered: "The Yellow River is wide, enough to bury millions of bones. As long as the Pinglu army dares to cross the river, this is their grave!"
The sky is gradually brightening, the sun is rising in the east, and the morning light is everywhere.
Li Ye stood at the head of the bridge, facing the surging river, bathing in the morning sun, and the cool river breeze blowing his clothes and hair, he always looked as usual.
"Report to the military commander, the pontoon bridge has been built!" A junior colonel ran back from the pontoon bridge and clenched his fists in front of Li Ye.
"Shangguan captivates the city and crosses the river!" Li Ye waved his hand.
In front of the three thousand wolf fangs, the white-robed and silver-armored general raised his cloud-breaking lance: "Wolf tooth capital, cross the river!"
The armor lightly clamped the horse's belly, and the three thousand elite horsemen slowly moved, gradually divided into three strands, and stepped onto the three pontoon bridges. The pontoon bridge is quite wide and can be used for several rides in parallel. There are 1,000 riders on each pontoon bridge, and it won't be long before they all reach the other side of the river.
Li Ye floated beside Shangguan Chengcheng and walked with the army.
Shangguan Chengcheng didn't squint, but the corner of his eye was full of Li Ye's figure. Her bevelous white face became more and more snow-white, as if it was about to become transparent, and her red lips were even more vivid, as if they were about to burn.
With Li Ye personally escorting him, although the wolf teeth did not make any sound, the breathing sound of the soldiers gradually became heavier, which was a boiling battle intent.
The three elite cavalry stepped onto the river bank almost at the same time, and the torrent of iron armor advanced and converged on the river bank, recovering into a complete battle formation.
But at this moment, there was a sudden strange vibration on the ground, and mines were rolling. Everyone followed the prestige, and behind the dense forest in the distance, a black wave gradually emerged, sweeping towards the river bank, which was a galloping cavalry battle array!
Listening to the formation, you know that the opponent's soldiers are strong and strong, and the number is several times that of your own, and they are the first to attack and take the lead. The wolf's teeth have just come ashore, they have not yet fully gathered, and they are backed by the Yellow River, there is no room to retreat and turn around, and they have lost their geographical advantages.
Shangguan Chengcheng's expression remained unchanged, and the wolf teeth also turned a blind eye to the danger in front of him, completely without the awareness that he was already in danger, and still gathered in an orderly manner.
Li Ye rose into the air, and as his field of vision gradually broadened, a 10,000-strong elite rider on the ground was unobstructed by him. It was a great river, a great river composed of ironclad torrents, and the sound of galloping horses' hooves alone had the power to shake the earth and mountains. One can imagine what kind of lethality they have if they engage in battle.
However, Li Ye's order to Shangguan Allure was to engage in battle.
"Three thousand against ten thousand, the Pinglu army has entered the first battle of Weibo, and the wolf's teeth are about to be fired for me!" Li Ye's voice clearly reached the ears of Shangguan Chengcheng and the three thousand soldiers.
"The last general will not be dishonored! Wolf Tooth Capital, face the battle!" Shangguan Chengcheng shouted in a low voice, without the slightest hesitation.
The cultivation of the general of the military family made her military orders so that everyone could hear them. The three thousand cavalry, which had not yet fully gathered, suddenly began to accelerate towards the 10,000 cavalry of Wei Bo's army.
In the midst of the rapid gallop, the wolf teeth are still perfecting the battle formation, showing extraordinary combat quality. This is also blessed by the power of the soldiers' battle array, and ordinary cavalry categorically dare not act like this.
Cao Xijin led the army to rush into battle, and when he saw that the wolf teeth were suddenly attacked, not only did he not mess up at all, but he also greeted him, and sneered in surprise, "I really don't know whether to live or die, is this going to fight against the water?
According to Cao Xijin's idea, he planned to let the Pinglu army come over with 5,000 people, and then suddenly attack. In his opinion, with the strength of Wei Bojun's army, it was as simple as chopping melons and vegetables to rush out and 10,000 elite cavalry to attack 5,000 people. In this way, it will be able to inflict greater trauma on the Pinglu army.
It was Lao Cheng's lieutenant general who continued to persuade Cao Xijin to give up this plan. Now that he dared to catch up with three thousand horsemen, it was conceivable that Cao Xijin didn't take the other party in his eyes at all.
The two armies hedged against each other, and their respective monks did not mix, and they swept the formation.
The two armies soon met each other, and at this time, the battle formation of the wolf's tooth capital was finally fully formed. Shangguan Chengcheng quietly clenched his fist, and a slight explosion of breath immediately sounded on her body. Immediately, the sound of air explosions rose one after another in the battle formation behind him, it was the monk in the military formation, and at the same time, the power of cultivation broke out. Circles of aura ripples, invisible to the naked eye, rippled on the monks one by one, and quickly converged into a whole.
This is the symbol of the soldiers' battle formation. Under the leadership and control of the generals, the battle spirit of the whole array resonated, and the aura of the whole array of monks resonated. This is also the threshold for the achievement of the soldier's battle array.
As the sound of the air explosion sounded, a flood of light rose in the battle array, and it looked like a flame was burning.
Shangguan Allure's eyes were like iron, the three thousand soldiers were murderous, the iron armor was rolling, and the momentum was like a tiger descending the mountain.
The two formations intersect.
Cao Xijin's face changed suddenly, as if he saw a ghost, and he exclaimed: "Soldiers' battle array?!"
When the wolf teeth rushed into the battle formation of Wei Bo's army, Cao Xijin's mind flickered, and he felt as if he had hit the tide, the heavens and the earth shook violently, and his consciousness was blank for a moment. There was a roar in the ears, such as 10,000 flies chirping suddenly, the hands almost couldn't hold the reins, the feet almost couldn't clamp the horse's belly, and the aura in the body was even more violent and indiscriminate, and blood overflowed directly from the mouth and nose!
As the main general who led the troops to charge into battle, he was the first to bear the brunt of the battle, and he was directly rushed by the battle formation and was about to fall off his horse!
The soldiers around Cao Xijin broke out with terrible screams, fell from their horses one after another, fell to the ground like dumplings, and were buried in the smoke and dust in despair, buried under the hooves of the wolf's tooth and the horse!
Those soldiers, who were struck by the waves, many of them did not have at all, were stabbed by the horse lance in the hands of the wolf-toothed generals, but they were like lightning strikes, and their bodies were unstable. The slightly weaker soldiers vomited blood directly, and the slightly better ones were also unstable, only those real warriors could sit firmly on horseback, but what greeted them was the stable horse lance jungle!
Cao Xijin roared, finally stabilizing his mind and body. At this moment, his mind was clear, but he was horrified in his heart, and he almost couldn't help but shout: "Is the soldier battle formation so powerful?
Cao Xijin didn't have time to think about it, because he had to face the Wolf Tooth Cavalry in front of him, and the pressure was heavy.
In mid-air, Li Ye looked at the intersection of the two armies, his expression was as usual, but the corners of his mouth moved slightly, outlining a slightly meaningful smile.
The three thousand wolf teeth rushed into the large array of 10,000 elite cavalry, and only with the first round of "pouring tide" that broke out in the soldiers' battle array, Wei Bo's army lost more than half of the soldiers in the front formation. Countless cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another, and were directly trampled into minced meat by the horses' hooves.
Then 3,000 horsemen entered the middle formation, and with the power of the battle array, the combat power of each cavalry was improved, and countless Wei Bo soldiers were stabbed. Finally entered the rear formation, at this time, the strength of the soldiers' battle array has dropped a lot, but the wolf teeth are well-equipped, and the individual quality and combat power of the soldiers are excellent, which is obviously better than the proud soldiers and fierce generals of the Wei Bo Army who have not been on the battlefield for many years, and the horse lance has picked off countless cavalry.
Wei Bo's soldiers fell off their horses one after another, and the war horses were still galloping, and in Li Ye's sight, the strict military formation was obviously a lot more blank, just like the dark night sky, revealing a starry gap.
When the generals of the military family have cultivated to the realm of generals, the battle array has the two abilities of "pouring tide" and "mountain". The former is the force of the charge, and the attack is like the tide of the river and the sea, which is unstoppable and is for the pouring tide; the latter is the force of defense, and the battle formation is immovable, stable as a mountain, and it is for the mountains.
In a round of fighting, the wolf fangs rushed through the large array of Wei Bo's army, with few casualties. But the strength of his own soldiers' battle array was almost exhausted, after all, 3,000 people rushed into the 10,000-person array, and the consumption was too great. However, Wei Bojun was killed and wounded by nearly a quarter, and the military formation was already in chaos, at least in Li Ye's opinion.
Next, it is a real battle between the two armies, and the strength of the soldiers' battle array has been exhausted, if you don't take a break, it will be difficult to have the power of Fang Cai.
However, it was clear that the morale of the Wei Bo army had collapsed, and in a normal war, when the army suffered between a quarter and a third of the casualties, it was considered incapacitated and needed to be pulled down to recuperate. At present, Wei Bojun, with 10,000 against 3,000, was cut by a quarter with a single face, and it makes no sense if morale does not collapse.
Cao Xijin adjusted the direction of the galloping horse, led the army formation to make a big turn, and when he looked at the battle formation of the wolf's tooth capital, he was shocked, and his face was full of horror.
A large hole in his shoulder armor was cracked, blood was pouring and his robe was stained red, and his left arm was barely strong. Just now I met with Shangguan Chengcheng, and he was almost cut off his horse.
Cao Xijin didn't die, he was really lucky, but his lieutenant general was not so lucky, and he was no longer in the battle array.
