Chapter 249: Under the Thorn Tower Mountain (1)
Thorn Tower Mountain, the birthplace of the Thorn Tower people, is similar to the capital of the Han people, and is the center of activity of the Thorn Tower people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Thorn Tower people have gradually developed and grown by relying on Thorn Tower Mountain for more than 100 years. It was not until the past ten years, under the successive efforts of Yuan Ying and Yuan Qi's father and son, that the Thorn Tower was seriously traumatized, and tens of thousands of Thorn Tower people were forced to move inward, accept Sinicization, and become the children of the Yuan family.
It has been seven days since the army was sent to conquer the Thorn Tower, and within these seven days, the Yuan Qi army did not encounter any decent resistance at all, and wherever the Yuan Qi army went, the Thorn Tower people either fell to the wind or fled to the Thorn Tower Mountain because of the prestige of the Yuan Qi, even if there were tribes that resisted a little, it was only a symbolic gesture twice, and then they hugged their heads and ran away.
Speaking of which, it was really Yuan Qi that left an indelible shadow in the hearts of the people of the Thorn Tower. At the beginning, Yuan Qi, who was only a teenager, killed Amanda, the leader of the Thorn Tower tribe, and then designed to capture the Thorn Tower Meng King, forcing King Meng to redeem himself from Yuan Qi's hands at the cost of 20,000 war horses, 30,000 Thorn Tower elite soldiers and tens of thousands of family members, and then in the Battle of Yuyang, he broke the Thorn Tower army, so that tens of thousands of Thorn Tower troops all became Yuan Qi's prisoners, and the general Wei Yan fought bravely to be the first to kill King Meng. Coupled with several battles large and small in the past ten years, the Thorn Tower people returned with a crushing defeat in front of Yuan Qi's army without exception, resulting in Yuan Qi's reputation being comparable to the existence of the god of war in the hearts of the Thorn Tower people.
Of course. Among the Thorn Tower people, there are also many warmongers, and some tribal leaders do not want to lose their current status, so they temporarily put down the competition for the position of the king, unite together, coerce the men and horses of other tribes, and station heavy troops in Thorn Tower Mountain, releasing bold words, if Yuan Qi dares to take a step forward, he will definitely fight to the death with Yuan Qi.
A declaration of war on the Thorns. Yuan Qi didn't think so, if they really had the determination to die, they would have come out to fight with the Yuan Qi army a long time ago, but they are still cowering in Thorn Tower Mountain, obviously their hearts are cowardly. The so-called defense of the homeland is just a slogan they came up with to fool the people of the Thorn Tower to resist the Yuan Qi. What they care about the most. It's just their own interests, and they have nothing to do with defending their homeland.
After seeing through the thoughts of those Thorn Tower leaders, Yuan Qi simply waved his troops and drove straight in, ignoring the Thorn Tower tribes in other directions, and directly marched to the vicinity of Thorn Tower Mountain, preparing to be in Thorn Tower Mountain. In this place where the Thorn Tower people regard it as their ancestral origin, completely crush the fighting spirit of the Thorn Tower people!
The movement of Yuan Qi's army made the leaders of several major tribes stationed in Thorn Tower Mountain even more uneasy, just as Yuan Qi had predicted. They don't want to fight with Yuan Qi at all, they just want to keep their status. However, as Yuan Qi approached, they had no choice, and the strength flowing in the blood of the Thorn Tower people made them unanimously make a decision to have a big battle with Yuan Qi! In their opinion, they had the advantage of the right time, place and people, and the number of people was three times that of Yuan Qi, so it was impossible not to win this battle.
Knock - Knock Knock - Knock Knock -
The drums of war are like thunder, shaking the heavens and the earth. The Thorn Tower people finally set up a formation at the foot of the T Tower Mountain, where there was no way to retreat, and faced off with the Yuan Qi army. Relying on Thorn Tower Mountain, more than a dozen tribal leaders stood side by side at the front of the queue, with heavy soldiers guarding them, and behind them, there were hundreds of thousands of Thorn Tower cavalry, they wanted to use the huge number of cavalry to take the lead and shock the morale of the enemy army.
However, they were all disappointed, they were not facing other enemy troops, but the elites of Yuan Qi's subordinates! Yuan Qi, who was holding a mixed Yuan halberd and wearing gold armor, sat on top of the jade unicorn, the pure white of the unicorn and the golden yellow of the dragon roaring heavenly armor complemented each other, and the Yuan Qi set off was like a god general in the nine heavens. On both sides of Yuan Qi, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, who would never leave his side, guarded on his left and right, these two had the same hideous face, the same Kong Wu powerful, as if the two Hercules guarding the side of the god general, looking at the thorn tower cavalry on the opposite side murderously.
In the place where Yuan got up a little behind, Zhao Hu of the white horse and silver spear led the 5,000-day return army, with white feathers on his head, and formed a half-moon shape around Yuan Qi, guarding Yuan Qi in the middle; on the left side of Zhao Hu, there was the majestic Qi Tian, under a robe of red brocade and flowers in Xichuan, the hideous battle armor of the hundred beasts was revealed, and the four hooves of the fiery red rabbit hissing wind beast stepped on the earth vigorously, as if it could attack at any time. The most chilling thing is the Qi Tian halberd in Qi Tian's hand, this murderous aura that has drunk more than a thousand bloods, it seems to smell the smell of battle, and it is already a little impatient, in Qi Tian's hands, there is a slight tremor. The 10,000 elites of the Flying Dragon Army were neatly arranged behind Qi Tian, and they sat on white horses, holding heavy Rahu dragon horn spears in their hands, and blood-red feathers stuck in their helmets, secretly brewing murderous aura behind Qi Tian.
On the right side of Zhao Hu is Ma Yue with a lion helmet and brute armor. The glowing golden moon spear pointed obliquely at the ground, and Ma Yue's eyes were full of disdain, as if the more than 100,000 Thorn Tower cavalry on the opposite side were just 100,000 piles of rotten grass. Behind Ma Yue, five thousand elites of the Earth Return Army were waiting for them, with black black Xuan Yu on their heads, and the same horse chopping knives on their backs as the Heavenly Return Army, and the strange thing was that their horse swords were not unsheathed, as if they were not ready to enter the battlefield, quietly guarding dozens of objects covered with red cloth in the formation, with bloodthirsty madness in their eyes.
After the three elite troops, Zhang Chong and Xu Bao were on both sides, each commanding 20,000 troops, forming two yoke formations, waiting for Yuan Qi's order. Although the faces of these 40,000 recruits were a little cramped and even a little flustered, there was no fear on their faces. Fear of death, that's not a problem that the soldiers under Yuan Qi's command can have.
The 60,000 troops formed a clear formation, and at a distance of 300 paces, they launched a powerful murderous aura against the Thorn Tower cavalry, which was three times their size, and soared into the sky.
Too lazy to talk nonsense with the leaders of the Thorn Tower, Yuan Qi directly pulled down the dragon mask on his helmet, raised the hybrid halberd in his hand, and slowly spit out two words: "Attack!"
The first to move was the Tiangui Army led by Zhao Hu, and the Five Thousand Tiangui Army was immediately divided into two teams, one team only had five hundred people, staying in place and not moving, responsible for protecting the safety of Yuan Qi, and the other four thousand five hundred elites, under the leadership of Zhao Hu, at the same time urged the war horses that sat down, and rushed towards the Thorn Tower array.
More than a dozen Thorn Tower leaders looked at each other in disbelief, they didn't understand what threat they could pose to their own army of 200,000 people. Indeed, 4,500 men, compared to 200,000 people, are really not worth mentioning, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they struck stones with pebbles. However, there is a problem, the leaders of the Thorn Tower have not thought it through, this is 4,500 people, but they are not ordinary people, they are the most elite members of the Tiangui Army under the command of Yuan Qi! The person who commanded them was the unparalleled and courageous Changshan Zhao Hu!
Riding his horse and rushing halfway, seeing that the Thorn Tower cavalry was already ready to launch a countercharge under the shouting of their respective leaders, Zhao Hu suddenly raised the sun-breaking spear in his hand, drew a circle in the air, and then pulled the reins, driving the little white dragon who was sitting down, and ran parallel to the left. With Zhao Hu's movements, the 4,500 elites of the Heavenly Return Army immediately appeared in groups again, and the average score was divided into two teams, one team followed Zhao Hu to the left and ran parallel to the left, and the other team ran in the opposite direction and ran parallel to the right.
The two teams of elites of the Heavenly Return Army each controlled the speed of the war horses, so that the distance between each other was widened, and soon in front of the Thorn Tower cavalry, two parallel skirmish lines appeared, just when the Thorn Tower people did not understand the meaning of Zhao Hu and the others doing this, Zhao Hu's spear was suddenly cut down, and the four thousand five hundred Heavenly Return Army elites told the Thorn Tower people the answer with their actions. They raised their arms at the same time, and the Xizi repeater that was clasped around their arms was ready to go!
Next, in a burst of loud ejection sounds, the Heavenly Returning Army fired all three crossbow arrows in its arm crossbow at the same time. More than 10,000 crossbow arrows whistled through the space and came to the Thorn Tower Cavalry. The elite degree of the Tiangui Army, there is no need to go into details, their ability to carry out cavalry shooting, has long been perfect, plus it is a crossbow shot in the case of a skirmisher, the targets selected between each are inconsistent, and there is no situation where two people shoot a Thorn Tower man at the same time, therefore, the Thorn Tower Cavalry who were caught off guard, under this round of fierce fire, there were a large number of casualties, and for a while, in front of the Thorn Tower array, the scene of people turning over on their backs has become an enduring landscape. This was accompanied by the painful wails of the Thorn Tower cavalry and the mournful screams of the war horses.
Chaos inevitably spreads among the Thorn Tower Cavalry. After the cavalry in the forefront was shot to the ground by the Heavenly Return Army, it immediately became an obstacle, successfully blocking the horse's hooves of the companions behind, and many Thorn Tower people who had no time to brake the war horses, the Thorn Tower cavalry who fell to the ground or their war horses, tripped and fell to the ground, and then the war horses driven by the companions further behind were trampled into flesh.
However, the doom is not over yet. After completing a round of cavalry shooting, under the leadership of Zhao Hu, the Tiangui Army continued to run to both sides, giving up the battlefield in the middle. Qi Tian immediately led an army of 10,000 flying dragons, quickly occupied the central battlefield, and rushed towards the Thorn Tower cavalry.
On the way to kill, 10,000 elites of the Wyvern Army, under the stunned gaze of the Thorn Tower cavalry, actually ran while standing upright on horseback, each of them held a strong riding bow in their hands, and at this moment, the bowstring had been put on the sharp wolf's tooth arrow!
