Volume 4: De Chong Fu 070 times, the blade of the killing array is like snow, and the wild river Hu rides and pounces

070 times, the blade of the killing array is like snow, and the wild river Hu cavalry is fluttering

Mei Zhenyi's eyesight is much better than that of ordinary people, and he can see the person opposite clearly, although it is the first time in his life to meet, he can recognize it at a glance, it will not be someone else, it is his "father" Mei Xiaolang. Nan Lu Gong is nearly forty years old, riding on a horse with a straight waist, dignified appearance, and a little elegance in majesty, which is exactly the image of his father in his imagination.

His father is really both civil and military, just look at the arrow that was shot, the strength of the inner family has reached its peak, with a sharp whistle that breaks the air, there is an invincible momentum, and the kung fu is by no means under Mei Yi. It's a pity that this arrow was aimed at himself.

Mei Zhenyi had imagined the scene of meeting his father countless times, under what circumstances, what should he say in the first sentence, and could he naturally call out the word father? When this moment really came, he found that he could not speak, his throat and eyes seemed to be blocked by something, and his eyes were moist. And Mei Xiaolang didn't give him a chance to speak at all, as if he didn't want to hear the child on the other side shouting the word father.

Of course Mei Zhenyi doesn't want to die, he hopes that his father can save him, but he is not afraid of death, and he will not resent if his father can't save him. In the movie I saw before the crossing, there was a scene where the hero shouted "shoot at me" when he was righteous, but Mei Zhenyi didn't even have this opportunity, Mei Xiaolang scolded "shameless bandits" in front of the battle, and shot an arrow.

The arrow came too fast, too sharp, too unexpected, and before the shamans on both sides of the cart could raise their bone staffs and cast spells, the arrows had already been shot. The only one who can react and have the ability to block this arrow is Zuo Youxian, who is standing not far behind the cart, he looks at Mei Xiaolang sneering, and when the arrow is fired, he looks at Mei Zhenyi's eyes and is a little worried, but he doesn't plan to make a move.

Will Mei Zhenyi survive?

The only one who could save Mei Zhenyi was himself, and when the arrow came, Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but use the method of imperial weapons to connect the pair of bracers with his body and mind. Activate the mana around your body. At this moment, he could feel all the energy fluctuations in the air within three feet of him stagnate, as if everything was close to solidifying, and he seemed to be draped in an invisible thick calloon-like armor. The tendons tied to her body were broken, and Mei Zhenyi's wrists were folded on her chest.

The silver-gray arrows shone with a sharp cold light, the front one-third of the shaft was golden, the back two-thirds were fiery red, and the tail was black goose wings. It easily pierced through the invisible cocoon-like armor that surrounded Mei Zhenyi's body. The strange thing is that as soon as he entered this range, the arrow did not slow down, but the condensed energy on the arrow's body quickly rippled away, rushing into the space three feet away from his body.

This is the wonderful use of the Qiankun wrist in his sleeve, Zuo Youxian demonstrated it once, and told Mei Zhenyi that if he couldn't learn it, he wouldn't have the life to think about anything else.

Say it's too late, then it's too fast. This arrow roared and shot directly at Mei Zhenyi's bracer, and the impact felt was not from the wrist, but from the surrounding body, because the bracer was used wonderfully, the strength of this arrow was exploding everywhere. I heard a loud bang. Like two galloping ironclad chariots colliding, a puff of smoke and dust carried splinters of wood and flying flesh.

In the eyes of onlookers, Mei Xiaolang's arrow power not only shot the traitor who pretended to be his son. It even smashed this cart, and the momentum was extremely amazing!

In fact, this effect is caused by the strength of the arrow and Mei Zhenyi's protective method, this arrow broke Mei Zhenyi's protective spell, and the incomparably strong force shattered the invisible armor within three feet of Mei Zhenyi's body, and the shockwave generated smashed the wooden cart. The flesh and blood that flew across the ground was not Mei Zhenyi, but the big man with a knife standing behind Mei Zhenyi, and the majestic big man just now didn't even leave a whole corpse for a moment.

Mei Zhenyi was not dead, his talisman spell was broken. The car under him was also shattered, his whole body was like a lightning strike, all his mana had been exhausted in the moment just now, and he had no strength to sit in the dust, and he couldn't even lift his hand. If he had just been kidnapped by Zuo Youxian a month ago, with his cultivation at that time, even if he wore a bracer, he would definitely not survive.

He fell in the center of flesh, broken wood, and dust, and most people did not notice that Mei Zhenyi fell and did not die. How could they have thought that there would be living people left in this kind of scene? Originally, the Datang Battle Array let out a roar. Cheering for the power of the commander's arrow, hundreds of thousands of people cheered together. Like thunder rolling from the sky, even the earth seemed to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the earth really trembled, and Mei Xiaolang's arrow not only smashed a car, but also shot hundreds of thousands of troops. This is also a signal, Wang Fangyi waved the banner in the formation, countless war drums sounded, and the Tang army suddenly launched a charge at this moment. The Tang army's formation opened like a scissor's mouth, and at this moment the Chinese army did not move, and the impact was launched from both flanks, and a column of iron-armored heavy cavalry galloped out and inserted into the two ribs of the Turkic contract-type formation.

The Tang army outnumbered the Turks, but the cavalry was also only 80,000 people, and judging from the horsemanship of the overall soldiers, they were inferior to the Turkic warriors who grew up on horseback since childhood. This time, Mei Xiaolang specially selected 16,000 elite knights, organized them into two teams, left and right, and equipped them into a heavy cavalry army. These knights were each armed with long lances and heavy armor, and even the front of their horses was wrapped in soft armor that could block stray arrows, which was not as fast as the light cavalry, but the impact on the battle array was unparalleled.

Two columns of heavy cavalry lined up in the shape of arrows, and the left and right sides were inserted into the two wings of the Turkic army, and they collided with a man on his back, and the clashing of swords and guns and the deafening shouts of killing immediately sounded, and the battle suddenly began. On the left, Wang Fangyi led his own soldiers to rush to the front with a long lance, and at the forefront of the right wing heavy cavalry was Mei Xiaolang's personal guard leader Mei Gang, and Mei Yi was also holding a long lance at the moment and followed closely behind Mei Gang's horse. Mei Yi's expression was a little hideous, his eyes were round, and he only stared at the Turkic knight in front of him, gritting his teeth and not looking at the central direction where Mei Zhenyi was.

The left and right wings of heavy cavalry rushed out with Mei Xiaolang's arrow, and at the same time the cart on which Mei Zhenyi was standing was shattered, and when he heard a woman's exclamation on the opposite side, there was a Miaoman's red figure flying into the sky, which turned out to be the Zhiyan Fairy who had been in the world for a long time. Behind her, another woman in a gauze skirt flew up, who was the head of the world's magic sect, Ming Qin.

Since saying goodbye to Mei Zhenyi, she wandered in the world, and later went to the Miaofa Gate to have a look, and the head of Mingqin naturally led the disciples to receive her respectfully. Na Mingqin's cultivation is not low. After getting the Feiyun cheats, there is a high finger like Zhiyan, and the realm has broken through to the next level, and now he also has the ability to fly. This time, he went to Wang Fangyi's army to help, not only brought seven junior disciples, but Zhiyan also came.

Zhiyan saw Mei Zhenyi in front of the formation, but before she could react, Mei Xiaolang had already shot an arrow, and Mei Zhenyi was hit by an arrow before she flew out. Zhiyan and Mingqin flew out of the battle formation. On the other side of the Tang Army, three figures wearing Taoist robes also flew out, which were the head of the Donghua Gate, Ji Yuan, and the Dharma Protector Ji Hai and Ji Tan.

Zhiyan's body was the fastest, much faster than the two wings of the subway armored cavalry, and even the archers didn't have time to stretch their bows, and she had already reached the sky above where Mei Zhenyi was. She could see clearly that Mei Zhenyi was not dead, and she was sitting in a mess of smoke and dust.

At this time, a long howl was heard, and Zuo Youxian's wide robe and big sleeves flew into the sky, meeting Zhiyan in the air. At the same time, Gu Dulu let out a strange scream, and waved the white bone staff and rose to the sky to meet it. Seven Mystic Dharma Sect disciples and twelve Donghua Sect disciples, each holding a magic weapon, soared into the air, and a group of shamans and wizards around the car babbled and screamed to meet them, and in an instant, the magic weapon at the front of the battle array flew with brilliance. It's already in a fight.

The battle began first in the center of the battle array and at the very edge of the two wings, and the Turkic cavalry immediately urged the war horses to also charge, pouring down the river valley like a tide, brandishing scimitars and rushing towards the Tang army.

Among the various examples in the history of warfare. Infantry formations are often at an absolute disadvantage against the onslaught of large groups of cavalry, but there are exceptions, such as many battles in the Tang Dynasty, including this battle. Turkic cavalry often rode horses and shot arrows within 100 paces, and drew their bows and swords within 30 paces, and the impact was very amazing. But the soldiers in front of the Tang Army's battle formation stood straight and unchanged at this time, as if they didn't see these menacing enemies.

The Turkic cavalry rushed down the valley. Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound in the sky, and when I looked up, it was raining -- a rain of arrows! The Tang army did not shoot at each other in a mobile battle, but according to the tactics of multi-arm drills, 160 paces away from the enemy, and the crossbow troops in the rear row fired a salvo. The crossbow has nearly twice the range of a bow and arrow, but it is slower to wind up after firing an arrow, and has a limited continuous rate of fire. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance. Look at the flag and give the order to launch a salvo.

Bows and arrows are not the same as bullets, they can be seen when fired from the front. A well-trained soldier has a high chance of being able to block or dodge. But wrapped up in the army, in the face of covering shots, it can only be up to luck to miss the arrow. A strong crossbow volley, the Turkic cavalry fell in large pieces, and the rest of the knights still charged forward with a strange scream.

100 paces, the archer shoots a salvo! The average archer can shoot through the leather armor with an effective range of about 60 paces, and within 100 paces, the string shoots out, and when the opponent charges to catch up, it is exactly about 60 paces away, and the Turkic soldiers fall over on their backs. In such a tense atmosphere, it was possible to calculate so accurately, to give orders so calmly, and to complete the salvo without any mistakes, and it took a long time to drill. Pei Xingjian's strict management of the army is famous, and Mei Xiaolang is also affected by the rest.

The crossbowmen fired two volleys, the archers fired six arrows, and the river beach rained arrows and fallen men and horses, and the Turks finally rushed to the opposite bank at the cost of thousands of horses. It was an uphill stretch, and the speed of the charge slowed down significantly due to the rain of arrows and the fallen men and horses in front of it.

Twenty steps away from the enemy, the archers withdrew their bows and joined the battle team, a drumbeat sounded, and then more than 100,000 people shouted in unison, and when they saw the ground, a neat fangs suddenly stretched out in the Tang army's formation, and it turned out that all the people pulled out their swords together. This knife is five feet long according to the weights and measures of the Tang Dynasty, the straight blade, the tip of the knife is oblique, there are blood grooves on both sides of the back of the knife, the handle is very long, it can be attached to the elbow when swinging the knife, and it is locally quenched with the mold technology, and the toughness and sharpness are excellent.

In the history of cold weapon warfare in the world, it is a very luxurious thing to use this kind of knife to equip battle arrays on a large scale and become a standard weapon. The sword light is like waves and snow, like a dazzling boundless knife wall, the Tang army moved, not to charge, but to move forward neatly with the sound of war drums, and every step fell with the feeling of the mountain shaking the ground.

I think that Du Fuwei, the king of Wu, made good use of the knife formation in the Jianghuai army back then, and Mei Xiaolang also uses the knife formation today, and the scale and power are much stronger than the original Jianghuai army. A sharp wall of knives met the Turkic cavalry at the front, and the sound of screams, neighing horses, the clashing of golden irons, and the friction of sharp weapons cutting into flesh and bone rang in everyone's ears.

Every soldier of the Tang Army was not afraid, he did not squint and only looked ahead, and he moved forward neatly with the sound of war drums, and even the movements of swords and stabs were neatly rhythmic. Even if he was stabbed in the body by the opponent's weapon, he would swing his knife forward to stab and keep the formation intact. When someone fell, the soldiers in the back row immediately filled it, and this wall of knives was always without any gaps, and pressed it with an unstoppable momentum.

When people talk about warfare, they all say that morale is very important, but what exactly is this kind of morale that cannot be seen or touched? Especially in the era of cold weapons, it directly determines the combat effectiveness of an army. Let's take the simplest example. There was once a skinny peddler who was often bullied by hooligans, and one day he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and brandished a kitchen knife and drove a dozen ruffians out of several streets, and cut down seven or eight strong men with daggers in succession. This outburst can also be described as a kind of morale.

On the battlefield, morale is a kind of spiritual power that forgets life and death and stimulates its full potential, and it is very contagious, similar to a kind of group unconscious hypnosis. In a certain atmosphere. Even a person who is usually as timid as a mouse can become murderous without blinking. Successful generals are very good at mobilizing the morale of their subordinates, and psychological warfare before the war is also very important. The momentum of the iron cavalry charging array that shook the heavens and the earth also detonated the killing intent of the Tang army.

The sword light is like snow, and the knife array is like a tsunami that is not fast but unstoppable, and the edge is not to mention people. Not even the horses were alive. The terrible or cruel thing about this formation is that there is no living mouth after pushing it, and it is too late for anyone to surrender. The Tonggu river beach was soaked with blood, and the Tang army had already crossed the river, squeezing left and right diagonally towards the center of the Turkic army formation.

The biggest advantage of cavalry in battle is speed and impact power, if the speed and impact space are lost, the cavalry ground advantage will also lose more than half. The cavalry formation also had a disadvantage. It can only move forward, and it is impossible to turn around to fight on the horse, and after breaking through the enemy formation, you can go around in circles and then strangle back and forth to achieve the greatest results. If they can't break through the enemy line, lose their speed, and are compressed in a crowded space, it is a very dangerous situation for the cavalry. The Turkic cavalry is currently facing this situation.

It's hard to describe such a large battlefield in words, but if someone looked down from a high altitude, they might be able to see it more clearly. The Tang army was lined up in a scissor-shaped formation. Ironclad heavy cavalry inserted into the wings of the Turks. It did not achieve decisive results, but it succeeded in compressing the battlefield space.

The counter-charge of the Turkic cavalry was stopped by a dense rain of arrows in the valley. The speed had slowed down when they rushed to the high ground, and at this time the blade formation of the Don army advanced downward. The Turkic cavalry did not rush through the sword wall at the first time, and the two knife walls on the left and right of the Tang army pressed diagonally against each other, and the frontal space of the battlefield became smaller and smaller, and the Turkic war horses could not spread their charge, and they were crowded into a pile in the river valley. And behind the blade array, the crossbowmen were wound, still sending out a rain of arrows according to the order.

The Tang army's sword array was diagonally pressed inward on the left and right, the two wings were the bags of the ironclad heavy cavalry, and the Turkic army was also facing the left and right directions, launching a counter-charge outward, and the core of the battlefield just formed a vacuum. At this time, in this vacuum area, there are also flying sand and rocks in the dark, and a group of cultivators and shamans are fighting the law.

Zhiyan, Ji Yuan, and Ji Tan flew in the air and surrounded Zuo Youxian. Ji Yuan sacrificed two Yi hooks, and the black and white qi in the air swirled to present a surging Tai Chi pattern; Ji Tan waved a gold pen, and a piece of golden light was like a cloud like a curtain; Zhiyan cultivated the highest among the three, and the invisible weapon pierced through the clouds and struck with a touching killing piano sound.

Looking at Zuo Youxian again, he has turned into three heads and six arms, one hand holds the Kunwu sword, and the sword rays are full of light against the cloud shuttle; the other hand holds the mixed yuan flag, sweeping towards the golden light emitted by the gold pen; in the other hand, the meridian plate, changing yin and yang to disrupt the black and white qi sacrificed by Ji Yuan, with one enemy and three without falling behind.

Where is Mei Zhenyi? Mei Zhenyi was just below Zuo Youxian, sitting on the ground with a blank face, the sky was dark all around, and there was not even a single broken stone outside a radius, and everything turned into powder. And he was unharmed, the four flying masters in the fight were very careful, and the aftermath of mana was far away from Mei Zhenyi.
