The next morning, when they heard that Zhongsheng's tent was about to be completed, everyone was shocked and stunned when they saw Li Jing, who was full of energy and would only be healthier than before he was injured.

Wen Zhong was also stunned for a moment, and then he realized something and threw an inquiring look at Li Jing. Seeing Li Jing nodding slightly proudly, he couldn't help but be shocked.

At this time, an officer on duty reported that the enemy camp had sent a messenger again.

Wen Zhong summoned him.

Not long after, the envoy of the Jiuyi Coalition Army entered proudly and presented Yi Tianxing's handwritten letter to Wen Zhong after seeing him.

When Wen Zhongzhan believed in the letter, he saw that it was still a war letter. Yi Tianxing had his own gains and losses in the previous battle in the middle of the letter, and he never really saw the winners and losers, so he invited Wen Zhong to fight in the field three days later. At that time, the two sides will each send 5,000 men and horses to fight on the battlefield, and the victory will be determined by survival.

Wen Zhong sneered a few times after seeing it, but still succinctly approved the four words "confrontation in the coming days", and ordered the messenger to bring the book back.

"Your envoy stays!" the envoy turned around and was about to leave the account, when Li Jing suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.

When the envoy heard this, Li Jing first confessed to Wen Zhong and then turned to the envoy and said: "Please tell the Yi patriarch after your envoy returns to the camp, saying that although Li Jing was defeated by the Yi patriarch's divine arrow a few days ago, he is still not very convinced in his heart, and intends to use the bow and arrow to ask the Yi patriarch again." The so-called 'choosing a day is better than hitting the day', if the battle is divided after three days, he and I will see each other again!"

The envoy was stunned for a moment, and replied: "General Li's words must be conveyed to the alliance leader below, and whether the alliance leader should fight or not can not be decided below. ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Your envoy only needs to pass the word on, and if you want to come to the Yi Patriarch, you will not disappoint Li Jing!"

The messenger said no more, and after giving another salute, he took his leave.

On the third day, both sides left their respective camps at the appointed hour and rushed to the battlefield to line up. After arranging the formation, Wen Zhong and Yi Tianxing sent 5,000 men and horses to participate in the battle at the same time.

The Jiuyi coalition army sent all the cavalry, including 2,000 archer cavalry of the Fengyi tribe who are good at riding and shooting, 1,000 heavy cavalry of the Fangyi tribe wearing heavy armor and holding spears and halberds, and 2,000 light cavalry wearing light armor and using scimitars.

Judging from the arrangement of its formation, Yi Tianxing's strategy was very clear: the first wave of archers launched long-range strikes from the front to both flanks to disrupt the enemy's formation; the second wave of hoplites rushed to the front while the enemy's position was in chaos, and carried out the most violent and savage rampage of the enemy with their armor and sharp spears; and the third wave of light cavalry reaped the lives of the survivors with scimitars.

Wen Zhong's formation today is quite strange. The 5,000 men were all foot soldiers, and they had lost the degree of cavalry, as if they had congenitally put themselves in a situation of "invincibility". At the forefront of the military array, 500 soldiers in groups of five pushed out a hundred carts loaded with wooden boxes, lined up in a row to form the glaive array. Behind the cart were fifteen hundred archers, fifteen hundred heavily armored spearmen, and fifteen hundred hookmen.

Just looking at the latter three types of troops, it can be regarded as-for-tat. First the archers were used to shoot at the enemy to disrupt the enemy's formation, then the heavy armored spearmen were used to smash the enemy cavalry head-on, and finally the halberdiers stabbed the riders and the legs of the horses to strangle the enemy cavalry that broke through the spearmen's defensive line. It's just that I don't know what the name of the 100 big cars in front of me is.

"Could it be that the merchant army wants to use these carriages as an obstacle to block our cavalry?"

After the sound of the cannon, the Jiuyi cavalry, who were on the attacking side, began to urge their horses to rush towards the merchant army on the opposite side.

In the military formation in the rear, Ban Zhao, the patriarch of the Chiyi clan who was always close to Yi Tianxing, asked in a low voice: "Alliance leader, since the high priest of Kuayu has sent a message to the Wujiao Sect to transfer masters to help us, why don't you wait for their people to come before going to war?"

Yi Tianxing smiled bitterly: "It is really a last resort to use people in the witch sect. Otherwise, although I have many warriors in Jiuyi, it is difficult for me to be those who have strange skills in the merchant army. However, we need to use a victory to let the Witch Cult know, and of course we need them to resist the master of the merchant army, but the army still depends on me Jiuyi Erlang for the battle!"

Ban Zhao suddenly turned his head with Yi Tianxing to look at the decisive battle of 10,000 people in front of him.

In the beginning, the archers, heavy riders, and light riders were still in the same step. When he rushed to within a thousand steps in front of the enemy formation, the Fengyi Archer who rushed to the front was added to the ground, and it only took a few breaths to increase the degree of the war horse under his crotch to the extreme, and he rushed through the distance of more than two hundred steps in the blink of an eye. In the course of the sprint, they raised their bows in one hand and took arrows in the other, and they did not slow down in the slightest degree by controlling their horses with their legs. According to the degree of the horses at this moment, they can quickly rush into the range of their bows and arrows.

However, the next scene made all the Jiuyi people stunned and frightened. Behind the 100 carts of unknown purpose, a soldier struck down with a wooden mallet, and in the thunderclap that resounded in the sky, a row of iron-feathered arrows shaped like short spears shot out of the round hole in front of the wooden box on the cart, and with terrifying height and strength, it traveled a distance of nearly 800 paces, and crossed into the two thousand Fengyi light horses.

After this year, Yin Zhongda's "Lian Feng" has continuously created a lot of repeating crossbows and "Thunderbolt Divine Crossbows" and sent them to Wen Zhong's army. This time, Wen Zhong put out all the hundred "Thunderbolt Divine Crossbows", each of which can be six Iron Feather Giant Arrows at a time, and one hundred is a full six hundred. Six hundred arrows powerful enough to pierce through the flesh jungle of human and horse bodies passed through the jungle of flesh and blood, and the limbs were torn apart, and the flesh flew sideways.

After a rain of arrows, the two soldiers next to each car turned the winch to press the spring with great speed, and it only took a few breaths, and the Fengyi light horseman, who was lucky not to be hit by the giant arrow, only rushed forward a few dozen steps. The soldier behind the car had already rotated the gavel again and knocked down the bracket, and a stream of iron and steel composed of a second wave of huge arrows shot out again, continuing to destroy the already much sparse flesh jungle ahead. Some of the giant arrows even flew nearly a thousand steps behind, piercing the men and horses of the heavy iron armor of Fang Yi, who was following behind the Fengyi light horseman.

By the time the third wave of arrows swept away by the Thunderbolt Crossbow, the Wind Riders who had not yet had a chance to shoot an arrow were already like a wheat field battered by a storm, and very few of them could stand upright.

As soon as all the eighteen arrows in the Thunderbolt were released, the 1,500 archers behind immediately stepped forward and passed through the gaps in the vehicles, forming a formation in three columns.

The heavy cavalry of the Fang Yi clan, who had been damaged by the aftermath of the giant arrow, felt a little relieved when they saw this, if it was just an ordinary bow and arrow, the threat they could posed to the thick and heavy iron armor of men and horses was extremely limited.

"Kill!" The tragic scene of the Fengyi archers in front of them made the anger and murderous intent in the chests of the Fang Yi heavy riders grow wildly, and they raised the spear halberd weighing dozens of catties in their hands, and screamed wildly to urge the horses to sprint.

Seeing that Fang Yi's heavy cavalry had rushed within two hundred steps of the front of the formation, the archers on the side of the merchant army opened their bows together under the order of the general who led the team, and the clusters of arrows that flashed with a little cold brilliance pointed upwards diagonally.

"Shoot the arrows!" the general ordered as soon as the enemy rushed to a distance of 150 paces from him.

"Boom!" the bowstring rattled almost in no particular order. Fifteen hundred feathered arrows flew diagonally upwards into the air, cutting through extremely graceful arcs, and accurately landed in the group of Fang Yi's heavy horsemen who were galloping wildly.

After a dense clang, most of the arrows bounced off the ground or shot a little shallowly, except for a few kills that happened to hit the gaps in the iron armor or weak points in the joints.

After three volleys of the Shang archers, the enemy was already able to rush into a dangerous distance of fifty paces, and the killing and wounding of Fang Yi's heavy cavalry was only a few dozen.

"Change the crossbow! Change the formation!" the merchant general shouted.

It turned out that the 1,500 archers carried a repeater with a short arrow filled with iron feathers and a reed on their backs. Hearing this command, they simultaneously threw down the strong bow in their hands and took off the repeater behind their backs with their backhands. Then the first column prostrates, the second half kneels, and the third column stands, forming a standard three-stage firing queue!
