In the neighing of horses, the heavy cavalry of the Western Zhou Dynasty continued to fall to the ground, and the heavy cavalry that was the best at attacking the enemy's formation was not only in vain, but also its own sharp and arrow formations had already collapsed. This heavy blow made Jiang Ziya unable to recover for a while, and he only felt that he had finally climbed to the peak, but he was thrown to the trough again.

What is a complete defeat? It turns out that this is a complete defeat!

How did Jiang Ziya know that after N years, the Mongolian cavalry that shocked the Eurasian continent relied on this "Sabbath archery method" to dominate the world, and no one was invincible, and once broke the most elite 100,000 Hungarian troops in Europe on the banks of the Danube, almost completely wiped out the resistance forces in Europe at that time, and played a song "Red Danube" with blood.

So...... What was the role of the heavy cavalry that the Zhou army relied on on the battlefield? In fact, the heavy cavalry gradually disappeared from the army long before the Mongols. Because above the battle array, the mobile surname of the army is very important. The power of an ordinary army is composed of three parts: striking power, protection and mobility. If the three parts cannot reach a certain balance, the overall power will be greatly restricted. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the heavy cavalry was actually defeated by the peasant army's lightly armed troops by taking advantage of the mobile surname on the vast battlefield, and gradually, the heavy cavalry gradually disappeared, and the light cavalry became an inevitable choice.

Although Jiang Ziya also has a certain military talent, he has never seen such powerful tactics and archers. In other words, there were not many cavalry battles in this era, and the troops were also very single, and these equipment and technologies of the Western Zhou Dynasty were obtained from a special way, which can be said to be a product beyond the times. In the past, we have been able to win consecutive battles and never lose because of the power and deterrence of new weapons. And when it comes to the combat experience of commanding these novelty weapons, there is a blank slate. All of this is probably just a blind superstition that the equipment "looks" powerful.

No matter how good the equipment and troops are, the lack of corresponding tactics will greatly reduce the combat effectiveness. It was okay to bully those people with poor equipment and ignorance before, but now that they encountered the hard idea of the merchant army, they were suddenly suppressed and almost breathless.

Speaking of which, it is indeed the Shang army that is bullying the Zhou army, even if Jiang Ziya has rich command experience, he is helpless in the face of the almost invincible archers and cavalry tactics in the Cold Weapon Era. If the heavy cavalry is a powerful weapon that transcends the times, then the archers and the "Sabbath archery method" are more advanced goods, and the bows and arrows of this batch of archers have undergone special transformations, and the strong bow power and armor-piercing ability of the arrow cluster surpass the original Mongolian archers.

Seeing the heavy armored cavalry that had spent a lot of money falling one by one, Jiang Ziya was anxious, but he was helpless, so he had to quickly order the whole army to retreat to avoid greater losses and casualties.

At this time, the morale of the Zhou army, which had been hit continuously, dropped suddenly, especially the heavy cavalry at the front. The defense that they had always been proud of was like a withering in front of the enemy, and the air had a powerful impact, but it could not get close to the opponent, coupled with the continuous oppressive blow of the rain of arrows, the heavy cavalry sadly felt that not only the physical defense, but also the spirit was about to collapse.

Jiang Ziya ordered a retreat, and the merchant army that had originally retreated surrounded it again, still firing arrows from a long distance, and the infantry behind also began to charge on all fronts, and the Zhou army was defeated like a mountain, and the number of people who were trampled to death by their own heavy cavalry alone reached an astonishing number. Pursued by the merchant army, he was defeated and returned.

Wen Zhong calculated that the arrows of the archers were about to run out, and he did not chase them endlessly, and collected his troops back to Jiming Mountain. The merchant army achieved an unprecedented victory with minimal damage, and morale was high. The four generals of the demon family and Yu Hua admired Wen Zhong so much, but they didn't know that what Wen Zhong admired in his heart was Zhang Zixing, the founder of the archers, - these archers began to train secretly a few years ago, and many elite soldiers were still sharpshooters selected from the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

In the Zhou camp, Ji Fa listened to Jiang Ziya's plea with a grim face, he never thought that one of his biggest secret weapons, the heavy armored cavalry with the largest amount of money, would actually suffer such heavy losses. If you are surrounded by several times the number of enemies, you will be defeated in a hard battle, but even the enemy's body will be touched, and you will be easily shot at a long distance, which is simply a complete defeat.

The Western Zhou Dynasty was originally a no-name teacher, but now the most important first battle suffered a fiasco, and the morale was naturally depressed to the extreme, and the generals were also depressed, not daring to look directly at Ji Fa, and the tent was silent for a while.

Ji Fa looked at Jiang Ziya, who was silent with his head bowed, and wanted to cut off his head with a sword, but he also knew that this old guy had a big backer behind him, and he really had too many places to borrow from him. Therefore, now it can only be appeased, not punished.

Ji Faqiang suppressed the boredom and anger in his heart, and said indifferently: "Father Xiang doesn't have to blame himself, the army is impermanent, and victory or defeat is unpredictable. No one would have imagined that the enemy army would be able to do that kind of archery and riding skills. It's just that our army has just been defeated, how should we meet the enemy next?"

Jiang Ziya said gratefully: "Thank you for forgiving the sins of the old ministers." According to the old minister, there are many moral people under the command of Wen Taishi, and now Wuji was captured by that Yuhua. And the four generals of the demon family are also famous, with profound spells, and they have made great contributions when the Great Shang conquered Dongyi and the dog Rong in the west. Although our army has no courage, it cannot fight hard with the Taoists. Now, I can only go to a few famous mountains and ask for the help of my colleagues. ”

Ji Fa thought of the last time when the magical immortal fight rescued the lack of food, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "I'm tired of my father." ”

Jiang Ziya said goodbye to Ji Fa, took advantage of the four inconsistencies, and took off. At this time, the soldiers came to report: "General Luo Jia, the superintendent of grain, has arrived and is waiting for orders outside the tent." ”

Ji Fa's heart moved, and he said: "Xuan Luojia entered the account and paid the order, and the rest of the generals dispersed to rest." ”

When the generals were ordered to disperse, they entered the tent and saluted, saying, "Today, I have heard that our army has been defeated, and I don't know what the king's plan is. ”

Ji Fa dismissed the servants, and said to Luo Jia with a pleasant face: "General Luo, in the past, it was said that Hong Jin sent people to assassinate the lonely king, and the general and a thousand strange men took action, so that the widow was saved from misfortune, and secretly helped Huang Feihu, the king of Wucheng, to defeat Hong Jin. Now that Master Wen is leading the crowd to come, and there are many moral people under his command, I wonder if the general can relieve the worries of the widows?"

Luo Jia pretended to mutter: "Prime Minister Lu Cheng is a Kunlun soldier, how can he be defeated so easily? If even Prime Minister Lu Cheng is invincible, I will not be able to defeat him." ”

Ji Fa heard the meaning of his words, showed embarrassment, and said: "Master Wen is very good, and the prime minister has gone out to seek help from his fellow disciples. It's not that the lone king doesn't trust the general. Just because the prime minister is a religion and the general is a Western religion, when it was said that the Son of Heaven was marching westward, he heard that the two religions had a grudge. The widow was afraid of conflict, so he asked the general to supervise the grain in the rear, and the general should understand the widow's hard work. ”

"The king didn't know that when he was going west, I did have a grudge with the teaching, but now the two sides have a tacit understanding, and they should work together to resist the interception. In the past, it was said that the Yellow River was intercepted and I was in the same door, and I formed a deep enmity, and now the Taishi Wen Zhong is the disciple of the Holy Mother of Jinling, and I should gather the same door as soon as possible, just to have a retribution with him. It's just that I taught Zeng to help dogs, so it's not appropriate to show up in public......"

Ji Fa hurriedly said: "General rest assured, although your sect has not been revealed, the help of the widow is really good, and it is by no means inferior to the prime minister's side." The widow should be remembered in his heart, and he will be rewarded in the future. ”

Luo Jia nodded with satisfaction, and hurriedly retired to Ji Fa, presumably to gather the same door. Ji Fa looked at Luo Jia's distant figure, with a strange look in his eyes, and it seemed that his confidence had recovered a lot.

In the Jinjiling commercial camp, the merchant army that had won a big victory was full of red and high morale.

In the main account, Hong Jin said to Wen Taishi: "Taishi is said to be powerful today, and he will win a big victory, so it is better to take advantage of the low morale of the enemy army, rob the Zhou camp at night, and discipline him without leaving a piece of armor!"

Wen Zhong groaned: "The scout has come to report, and the vicinity of the Zhou camp is well guarded. Lay down nine antlers, and there are many wooden fences, blocks, especially not conducive to the bow cavalry army, if you want to clean up one by one, you may delay the fighters and alarm the enemy. ”

At this time, Yu Hua entered the account and said: "Taishi, General Han Rong, the chief soldier of Bishui Pass, sent his second sons Han Sheng and Han Chang to help with Qibao, and they have arrived outside the account. ”

Wen Zhong asked: "You have been a general in Bishui Pass for many years, can you know the ability of Han Rong's second son, and what is that strange treasure?"

Yu Hua thought for a while and replied: "These two sons have little contact with the last general, and they have heard that their martial arts are ordinary, but they are loyal and righteous, but they don't know what any abilities or treasures they have. ”

Wen Zhong ordered the sergeant to pass Han Sheng and Han Chang inside, and the two generals entered to see the salute. Wen Zhong saw that the appearance and temperament of these two people were ordinary, and they really did not look like people with profound Taoism, and asked: "Two generals, I don't know what strange treasures can break the enemy army?"

Han Sheng said: "Back to the Taishi, my two brothers once worshiped under the Inhuman Law Ring, and were secretly granted a strange treasure, called the 'Ten Thousand Blade Car', and came to help the Taishi break the Ji Fa rebel. ”

When Wen Zhong heard the name of the Dharma Ring, he said happily: "It turns out that the two generals are the Fa Ring Daoist Feimen people, I don't know what kind of treasure the Ten Thousand Blades Car is?

"Master, please look, here is the Ten Thousand Blade Car. Han Bian took out an object, a windmill made of paper: there was a turntable in it, one hand held a rod in the middle, and it was pushed around like a flying turntable, and there were four flags on it, and there were symbols and seals on the flags, and there were four words "earth, water, fire, and wind".

The generals in the camp looked at each other, and Mo Liqing couldn't help but speak: "General Han Bian, this is a stubborn thing of the children's family, how can you defeat the enemy?"

Han Sheng and Han Chang replied: "The last general is brave, please ask the Taishi and the generals to come out of the camp and see the power of this treasure." ”

Wen Zhong also heard about the ability of the Dharma Ring, and now he and the others will go out to see what the mystery of this 10,000-bladed car is.

The two Han Sheng brothers wore swords in their hair, and there were words in their mouths, only to see the clouds and mist suddenly appearing, the yin wind was blowing, the flames were soaring to the sky, and a million blades were flying in mid-air. The generals were taken aback, and Wen Zhong laughed: "Two generals, it's really a good treasure, I don't know how many cars there are?"

Han Sheng replied: "There are 3,000 of these cars, and only the 3,000 elite soldiers who came with me can defeat hundreds of thousands of male soldiers. ”

Mo Liqing praised: "Two generals, please forgive me for being ignorant. This treasure is very powerful, if it is about the power of a single body, it is far inferior to my magic weapon Qingyun Sword, if it is three thousand, when the power is infinite, the attack range is extremely wide. Even if a few transcendent people can get rid of it, even if there are 100,000 people, they will only be powder. What's even more mysterious is that this treasure doesn't seem to consume any mana, and ordinary soldiers can also indulge it. With this 10,000-bladed car in hand, why worry about Ji's hair if it can't be broken!"

Hong Jin sighed: "If you can clear the obstacle of the antlers blocking in the Zhou camp, and use this 10,000-bladed car to sneak attack Ji Fa, you will definitely be able to fight in a battle!"

Han Sheng said: "The matter of the antlers is not difficult, my 10,000-bladed chariot is not afraid of roadblocks, but it is quite slow. Besides, my brother came this time, and he also brought a fierce general Wu Wenhua who came to Bishui Pass to join the army, and with this person, he could easily remove obstacles along the way. ”

Wen Zhong hurriedly asked Han Sheng to bring the fierce general, only to see that Wu Wenhua was several feet tall, like a giant King Kong, holding up for half a day, and it was amazing and majestic. Listening to Han Sheng's introduction, Wu Wenhua has infinite power, can travel boats on land, eat only cows, and pick up wood in his hands, which is the nemesis of all things like antlers.

Wen Taishi was overjoyed, and immediately set up a banquet, invited the generals to have a full meal, and waited for the night to come.

Late at night, Wu Wenhua bore the brunt of the attack, and when he came to the front of Zhou Yingyuanmen, he fought with strange power, and the huge row of axes in his hands easily opened the nine-fold antlers, and the square wooden fence and block were also swept on both sides at will.

As soon as Sergeant Zhou Ying discovered the clue, Hong Jin and Yu Hua behind Wu Wenhua were already in front of him with Han Sheng and Han Chang. Han Sheng swung his gun, and 30 million bladed cars were about to come out, and the momentum was like wind and fire, how to resist it. I saw the ten thousand blades rolled in, and the wind and fire came together.

How could the Zhou army defend against the fact that the 3,000 train soldiers rushed into the gate, only to see black clouds, wind and fire, and blades falling together, like a landslide and a crack. Everywhere the blades went, the Zhou army was bleeding like a river, corpses were everywhere, horses were trampling horses, people were trampling people, and they were in a mess. Wu Wenhua also rose to the power of God, slaughtered at will, and was invincible everywhere he went.

Yu Hua led a team of archers and cavalry, shooting indiscriminately at the pile, killing and injuring countless people. Ji Fa woke up from his dream, and under the protection of Mao Gongsui, Ji Dan and other generals, he got on the horse and fled desperately. Yu Hua's eyes were sharp, and he saw that the main camp of the Zhou army seemed to be supported by someone to escape, so he hurriedly chased after the golden-eyed beast, and said loudly: "Hugh is leaving, Ji Fa!"

Ji Fa was so bluffed that his soul did not possess his body, and he moved forward, so Mao Gong asked Ji Dan to protect King Wu first, and he danced his spear to usher in it. Yu Hua was anxious to make contributions, and he didn't entangle with Mao Gongsui, took out the Soul Killing Banner, took Mao Gongsui out of thin air, threw the bow behind him, and urged the golden-eyed beast to chase Ji Fa away.

Seeing Yu Hua approaching, Ji Dan waved his knife and sacrificed his life to kill, bent on buying time for Brother Wang to escape. Ji Fa secretly complained bitterly and shouted: "Who will protect the lonely king's drive!"

Yu Hua was about to take down Ji Dan with the Soul Killing Banner, when suddenly a golden light flashed, and one person stopped in front of him. In the firelight, it was seen that there was a strong man, and the man shouted: "With our army here, who can hurt His Royal Highness King Wu?"
