16. Unstoppable
Lu Guanzhong's face turned pale with fright, and he muttered, "That Impermanent Army...... In fact...... No damage at all?"
Seeing that the troops had stopped advancing, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly stepped forward from the army and asked, "Xiao Daxia, why did you stop?"
Xiao Bei said in a low voice: "There is an enemy blocking the way ahead, but I am afraid that it is Zhang Xianzhong's Heavenly King Army." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
Zuo Liangyu was not worried but happy, and said: "This is exactly the place to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, it takes no effort to get it, Lao Tzu is looking for this grandson everywhere, he actually dares to come out by himself, but he also fulfilled my wish." β
Lu Guanzhong stammered and said, "But...... We had a bumpy ride, and they waited for ......"
Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said impatiently: "It doesn't matter if he has a lot, whether he is a grandfather or a grandson, you will know if you fight." β
Then he raised his sword, used all his strength, and shouted, "The whole army obeys the orderβ"
Zuo Jun was already as silent as ice, and when he heard Zuo Liangyu's words, he was even more condensed like a statue. His eyes were blazing, and he concentrated on Zuo Liangyu.
Zuo Liangyu pointed his sword forward and said loudly: "Zhang Xianzhong is in front." β
Since its inception, the officers and men of the Left Army have been fighting endlessly with Zhang Xianzhong, who is a general under Gao Yingxiang, and have witnessed Zhang Xianzhong's growth from a nobody to a thief. This expedition is all for Zhang Xianzhong. Now that Zuo Liangyu shouted Zhang Xianzhong's name, there was no need for unnecessary mobilization, everyone was emotional, their fighting spirit was high, and their bodies trembled.
Gradually, a short and powerful roar came from somewhere in the army, spreading like ripples, and soon spread throughout the army, converging into a deafening loud sound.
The voice was only one word, but it kept repeating every moment, like a giant hammer, striking on everyone's hearts, making people's hearts tremble.
The word "war!"
Lu Guanzhong, Xiao Bei and the executive envoy were in the midst of this majestic battle spirit, and they were all excited, and they had the intention of seeing death as home.
Zuo Liangyu didn't say anything more, and ordered in a loud voice: "Go forward and kill all the thieves." β
The loud noise stopped, and the left army turned into a huge ice again, and marched towards the only goal with a calm footstep.
The form of the enemy soon appeared in front of everyone.
I saw tens of thousands of soldiers who were not as strong as humans, in a loose formation, wearing armor as black as ink, staring at a pair of empty and godless eyes, looking at the left army. Among the soldiers, a general in blood-red armor rode a tall horse, his eyes piercing, looking down from top to bottom.
That person is Zhang Xianzhong.
As the two armies approached, the pair of hollow eyes returned to normal one by one, and then became extremely bloodthirsty, like a vulture with carrion and a shark smelling blood.
Zuo Liangyu ordered to stop the advance, ordered the archers to step forward, and with an order, ten thousand arrows were fired at the enemy formation.
The enemy suddenly grabbed a huge shield from the ground and erected it in front of him. The shield was made of unknown materials, and when the arrow struck it, it did not bounce off, but was firmly nailed to it. After a while, the enemy was not damaged, but instead received a lot of arrows.
Seeing that the bow and arrow were ineffective, Zuo Liangyu immediately ordered the archers to retreat, ordered someone to push the cannon up, and aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the enemy.
At this moment, dozens of knights suddenly rushed out of the enemy's formation, riding behemoths, and rushed towards the left army like a gale.
The cannon was extremely cumbersome to use, and it was necessary to fill the charge and ignite the fuse before it could be fired. At this moment, Zuo Liangyu saw that the enemy was coming extremely fast, and he didn't have time to charge the charge, and when he gave the next order, hundreds of knights also rushed out of the army and stepped forward to intercept the enemy.
When the enemy came closer, everyone finally saw that the cavalry sent by the enemy was not horses at all, but white-fronted tigers with hanging eyes, and their shapes were extremely vicious. Although the horses of the left army were well-trained, this tiger was the king of beasts, how could the horses dare to fight against it? Hearing the tiger's roar incessantly, the horses were so frightened that they raised their hooves and stopped, and overturned the knight on their backs to the ground.
The Tiger Knight easily broke through the interception, and in an instant, he came to the cannon, swung a huge hammer, and slammed it into the gun carriage, the cannon lost its support, and immediately fell to the side.
Zuo Liangyu was taken aback, seeing that something was wrong, he ordered the infantry to step forward, holding halberds, to stop the tiger knight. But the tiger is extremely strong, in the face of the spear did not retreat, the giant palm waved, the spear touched the fold, at the same time the tiger's tail like a whip, thrown up several feet, the infantry could not get close at all, the fight for a moment, the infantry not only failed to prevent it from destroying the artillery mount, but was wounded more than ten people, the scene was extremely embarrassing.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of more than a dozen gunpowder explosions, and the blood on the tiger's eyebrows burst out, screaming miserably, and then his limbs were weak and he collapsed to the ground. Then several executive messengers flickered, punched and kicked, and instantly killed more than ten fallen knights.
Zuo Liangyu was overjoyed when he saw that this Xiaolu coalition army was extremely brave, and he was holding a three-eyed god gun. Busy people filled the cannon that had not collapsed, and then lit the fuse, and several loud noises were heard, and the enemy formation immediately exploded.
Due to the loose formation of the enemy and the fact that there were only a few cannons left, these shells were powerful, but they did not hurt many people at all. After several rounds of shelling, the enemy was still like a dark cloud, covering the mountains and fields.
Zuo Liangyu was still about to give the order for an artillery bombardment, and Xiao Bei suddenly said urgently: "General Soldier Zuo, those Seven Killing God Sect disciples are only a few miles away from here, if we don't repel Zhang Xianzhong, we will have to face the situation of being attacked by the enemy." At that time, I was afraid that the whole army would be wiped out, and we really didn't have time to consume it here with Zhang Xianzhong. β
Lu Guanzhong took the initiative to ask for help, and said: "General Zuo, please let my Xiaolu coalition army take the lead and frustrate the enemy's spirit." β
Zuo Liangyu shook his head and said: "The power of the Xiaolu coalition army is amazing, and it must not be easily exposed, it needs to be mixed in our left army and become the mainstay." After a while, the two armies will meet, and take advantage of the left army to contain the impermanence army, and wait for the opportunity to assassinate Zhang Xianzhong. β
After saying that, he brandished his saber and roared: "The cavalry charges, the infantry hall is behind, and the whole army is assaulted." β
This order was passed down layer by layer, and in the blink of an eye, the whole army heard it, and saw thousands of cavalry coming to the front of the formation, holding spears and hammers, and the hooves of horses were flying, and they were killing the enemy with an astonishing momentum.
The infantry kept up quickly, while trying to keep in formation.
Seeing this, the Impermanent Army suddenly changed formation, and thousands of soldiers with large bodies came to the front of the formation, each carrying a huge tree trunk, protruding from the trunk to meet the onrushing cavalry.
But the enemy's soldiers were so powerful and heavy that the cavalry collided with the huge wood in their hands, and the enemy was only scattered by the cavalry with a hundred men, and the formation was still tight.
Seeing that the cavalry charge tactics were not very effective, the infantry was not discouraged, and each stepped forward and engaged the enemy in close combat. The enemy did not show weakness, waved the giant wood, and fought with the left army.
While the two armies were in a scuffle, rockets flew from the rear of the left army and shot towards the rear of the enemy's formation, causing dozens of people to burst into flames and smoke rising into the sky.
Zuo Liangyu's charging formation had five offensives, namely a rain of arrows, an artillery bombardment, cavalry, infantry, and then arrows. Once other armies get caught up in a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, they will never shoot arrows again, for fear of injuring their own people. Zuo Liangyu's archers followed behind the infantry, relying on the infantry to form a human wall to block the enemy, and at the same time firing rockets behind the enemy, often causing the enemy to be in chaos, and sometimes even shooting the enemy's generals, which had a miraculous effect.
Seeing the flames all over the ground behind the enemy's formation, but not panicking, all the soldiers drew their rockets, rolled on the spot, covered themselves in mud, and quickly extinguished the flames. At the same time, it is rare to continue to devote yourself to the battle as if nothing happened, and the tenacity of willpower is rare.
Seeing the rockets of the left army raining down, the enemy's giant wood soldiers suddenly intensified their offensive and swung the giant trees wildly, forcing the left infantry to be unable to get close. Suddenly, hundreds of thin soldiers with black cloth covering their faces came out from behind the giant wooden soldiers. Shaped like the wind and as smooth as swimming fish, they suddenly raised their hands in the gap between the giant wooden soldiers' swings, and shot thin arrows at the left army.
Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu immediately ordered the infantry to risk their lives to assault and kill the giant wooden soldiers.
Although the giant wood soldiers were powerful, they were flesh and blood after all, and they could not dance the giant trees in a dense airtight manner, and after killing and wounding hundreds of infantry of the left army, they were finally broken through the defense line by the infantry and killed the thin arrow soldiers in the rear. Those thin arrowmen were extremely cunning, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they immediately flashed into the formation and did not show their faces again.
At this point, the two armies no longer paid attention to tactical tactics, and officially mixed together, and began a white-knuckle battle with swords and flesh.
The soldiers of the left army waited for this moment, all the killing intent rushed to the sky, the knife was like the wind, the spear was like fire, and the shouting of killing shook the heavens and the earth. And the Impermanence Army is also bloodthirsty and killing, but it is extremely calm, with a knife and an axe, waiting for an opportunity to move, and his mouth is silent at all.
The two armies fought each other for a while, and the gap gradually became apparent, and the impermanence army was one against two or one against three, and it was not left behind. The left army was anxious to break through the enemy formation, but the more they fought, the more anxious they became, and gradually lost their discipline, and after a short time, there were screams in the formation, and the soldiers of the left army fell to the ground one after another.
Zuo Liangyu saw that the battle situation was not going well, and his heart was anxious. Ordered: "Shi Zhihuan, lead the forward battalion, form a cone-shaped formation, and break through in the middle!"
Lu Guanzhong and Xiao Bei were shocked at the same time, and persuaded: "General Zuo, don't mess with yourself." β
Zuo Liangyu said in a low voice: "Tibetan mastiff hero, Lu Shao is in charge, wait for the forward battalion to open the gap in the enemy's formation, you will immediately lead the Xiaolu coalition army into the enemy formation, don't worry about anything else, take Zhang Xianzhong's head directly." β
Xiao Lu and the others came to their senses and understood that Shicai had asked for help several times, and Zuo Liangyu was not allowed to move, it turned out that it was to hide his strength. Stand still and wait for the time to come.
Shi Zhihuan's forward battalion was all fearless and well-trained, and more than 5,000 people formed a torrent and rushed towards the middle of the enemy formation. The enemy was caught off guard for a moment, and a gap was opened by the impact. The rest of the officers and men of the left army were waiting on the side, and when the sharp spirit of this torrent was exhausted, they immediately rushed to replenish and widen the gap.
But how strong is the enemy's Chinese defense? The forward battalion rushes several times, and when the enemy reacts and strengthens its garrison, it is like falling into a quagmire and unable to move an inch. (To be continued.) )
