Chapter 261: Trapped
Like yesterday, Ottawa and Manila had no extra nonsense, and directly beckoned their men and horses to start attacking each other. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Ottawa changed his strategy, and lined up the remaining 70,000 men of his subordinates into three vertical and horizontal queues, like a huge three-pronged gun, and personally led 40,000 men as the head of the middle one, and discharged 15,000 men on each wing as the flanks of the two wings.
Manila, however, did not change his strategy, through yesterday's battle, he firmly believed that it was correct to use the battle array to resist the Ottawa division, so he still put out a combination of a square array and a wheel formation, trying to wear down Ottawa's strength little by little, and finally let his five thousand elite soldiers carry out a surprise attack. As a result, the 50,000 people in the Manila department lined up again in formation and collided with the Ottawa department.
Killing, pervading every corner of the wolf mountain. At every moment, there will be the screams of the barbarians, the sorrowful screams of the war horses before they die, the sonorous collision of weapons, the vibration of bows and crossbows, and the shouts of the generals and other sounds, these noisy various sounds come together to play a cruel symphony.
Little by little, the sun rose above the horizon, and by the time it appeared in the midday sky, it was already three hours later. In the past three hours, the two fierce fighting barbarians inevitably suffered a large number of casualties, and the battle losses of both sides were about 10,000. At this moment, the battle continued, Ottawa and Manila seemed to have killed each other, and their soldiers forgot about hunger and heat, and slashed each knife with all their might. It is necessary to kill the opponent in front of him on the spot. In the melee, the formation of Manila's subordinates began to lose its due power, with the reduction of personnel, his subordinates can no longer keep the integrity of the two battle formations, not to mention the perfect connection with each other, that is, it is already a little difficult to fight separately, a large number of soldiers from the Ottawa department opened one gap after another in the battle formation of the Manila department, and then frantically rushed into the battle formation along the gap, they wanted to be inside. Completely crush the battle formation in Manila. All of a sudden. The people and horses on both sides are staggered together, and you and I can't be distinguished at all.
Seeing that the situation was somewhat unfavorable, Manila decided to change his strategy, and he beckoned to the commander of the 5,000 elite soldiers. It is advisable to teach it face-to-face. Manila originally wanted to use these 5,000 elite soldiers as surprise soldiers. The final word at a critical moment. But now the situation is beyond him, and he is helpless. He had no choice but to plan to send these 5,000 elite soldiers to the battlefield in advance.
Just when Manila had just said half of what he thought in his heart, and had not yet told all of it to the commander of the Guards, the sound of horses' hooves like thunder suddenly sounded from all directions!
Immediately afterward, the sky was full of smoke and dust, and even the heat of the midday sun was blocked! Ottawa and Manila were stunned at the same time, and then looked at each other angrily, they thought that the other party must have called a helper, which was obviously contrary to the ancestral teachings!
However, the resentment in the hearts of the two quickly turned into horror, because they saw the figure of the galloping cavalry in the tremor of the desert! The cavalry in the east, about 5,000 people, they rode on tall horses, wearing dazzling armor of bright light, the seven-foot-long chopping knife was raised diagonally at a forty-five degree angle, and each person's helmet was inserted with a white feather, what made people frightened was the murderous aura emitted by these 5,000 people, and their murderous aura seemed to have condensed into a substantial sharpness, which made people tremble. It's as if these 5,000 cavalrymen, each of them crawled out of hell after crawling in the pile of dead corpses! The feeling of the Xin barbarians is not wrong, they are the killing gods who crawled out of hell, because their name is Tiangui!
In front of the 5,000-day return army, four figures ran in front of the three behind, and the one in front couldn't see his face clearly, because a hideous dragon mask covered his face, revealing only two terrifying eyes. However, the jade unicorn of the divine horse he sat down, the gorgeous Youlong Xiaotian Armor on his body, and the heavy Mixed Yuan Halberd in his hand had already made his identity come out! In the whole world, apart from the little overlord Yuan Qi, who else could have such momentum and pomp? Directly behind Yuan got up, Zhao Hu, handsome and martial arts with a white horse and silver spear, perfectly fused on him, which also attracted people's attention; and on both sides behind him, the hideous-looking Xu Chu and Dian Wei Ce horses galloped wildly, like two Hercules who were in charge of guarding behind the god general!
In the west, the Monkey King that made the Xin barbarians frightened reappeared in the desert, Qi Tian was wearing a Xichuan red brocade hundred flower robe, covered with unicorn gold armor, and did not wear a helmet on his head, but two blood-red pheasant feathers, riding on the red rabbit horse, majestically appeared in the sight of the Xin barbarians. Behind Qi Tian, 10,000 people with blood-red feathers on their heads, wearing iron and bright light armor, and holding Rahu dragon horn spears that looked very sharp, rode on top of 10,000 white horses of the same color, roaring. This force is another sharp knife unit under Yuan Qi's command, the Flying Dragon Army.
In the north, there is no sound of horses' hooves, but it does not mean that there are no enemy troops in the north. Ma Yue, who was in lion helmet and brute armor, held the moon spear, riding on the sand flying with a similar color to the desert, with the excitement on his face before the battle, and his eyes with coldness, examining the two barbarian soldiers in front of him, like a hungry wolf, thinking about where there are more prey, where to start. Behind Ma Yue, five thousand elite people with strong physiques and a weight of sixty catties galloped wildly, although their speed was slightly inferior to that of war horses, but they were five times faster than ordinary infantry troops! They wore special four-layer thick Mingguang armor, raised the horse chopping knife in their hands, and the black Xuanyu on the helmet swayed with the wind while running, and their eyes were the same as Ma Yue's, full of bloodthirsty looks, like five thousand moving iron giants, so that Xin Barbarian could not afford to fight against them.
To the south, Zuo Ci held the Wind Breaker Spear in his hand and led 10,000 Thorn Tower cavalry to attack. Although the Thorn Towers have changed into new weapons and iron armor, their combat style has not changed for a while, and they let out a long howl, like the overlord of the Saibei grassland, the wolf. The wolf is the totem of the Thorn Tower, and every Thorn Man loves the wolf. And imagined himself as a wolf, bringing the ferocity and bloodlust of the wolf to the battlefield. Except for Yuan Qi, no one can tame this group of ferocious wolves, not even the equally ferocious Xin barbarians!
The sound of war drums sounded not far away, and Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu took the remaining 50,000 troops, at the edge of the battlefield, while beating drums and cheering, and began to line up. Compared to the shallow Taoism of Manila. Zhuge Liang's ability to set up the array. It's just too much higher. Because of his lack of experience, Zhuge Liang is still unable to arrange the world-famous Eight Arrays in later generations, so what he is now putting out is a slightly inferior Nine Palace Chain Array, dividing the army of 50,000 into nine parts. Perfectly connected to each other. When on the defensive. When one enemy is attacked, the other eight sides will support at the same time, and when attacking, the small formation in the center will dominate. The other eight small formations were constantly harassing and killing the enemy.
At this moment, Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu were standing in the middle of the central small array, and on their sides, there were eighty red-clothed ballistas covered with red cloth, Zhuge Liang had already ordered the sergeant to complete the loading action of the red-clothed ballista before firing, as long as he found the right time, Zhuge Liang would give the order to start the cannon.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons. 80,000 enemy troops quietly completed the encirclement of the two barbarians. The faces of Ottawa and Manila were filled with deep bitterness and desperate fear. At this time, the difference between the Han and the Xin barbarians was reflected. The Han people usually love infighting, and they are often willing to stop only after fighting to the death, which is somewhat similar to the Xin barbarians, but in the face of foreign invasion, the Han people will immediately put aside their personal grievances and turn to the outside world until the invading foreigners are driven out of the country. But the Xin barbarians are not like this at all, no matter when and where, the Xin barbarians will not really unite, they come from different tribes, with different beliefs, it is difficult for someone to rule the entire Xin Barbarians completely, unless it is like Xianbei and Thorn Tower, conquered by Yuan Qi, accept Sinicization, and real unity can appear. Therefore, while the enemy army was approaching, Ottawa and Manila failed to reach an agreement at the first time, missing a good opportunity to jointly resist the foreign enemy. Although the soldiers and horses of the two subordinates had stopped fighting, they all stood in place and did not move, and the two sides were originally intertwined, and for a while even they couldn't tell who was from their own tribe, so it seemed extremely chaotic.
This point was also expected by Yuan Qi and Zhuge Liang. After a day and a half of fighting, the physical consumption of the two Xin barbarians is close to the limit, and it is bound to appear in the process of fighting, there will be a large number of battle losses and attrition, and there will be a battle scene like now, with dogs and teeth staggered, Yuan Qi thought of this, and chose to attack at noon. Don't give the Xin barbarians who are fighting together to give any time to react. Now even if Ottawa and Manila want to unite with the outside world, it is too late, and they have no way to clearly straighten out their respective subordinates from the situation of the melee. However, at this moment, Ottawa and Manila thought clearly about a problem at the same time, it turned out that all this was a conspiracy of the Han people, and from the very beginning, they had fallen into the calculations of the Han people, taking advantage of their ambitions and mutual dissatisfaction to provoke this infighting. A trace of despair rose in the hearts of the two at the same time: "Grandma's, we are all trapped!"
