Chapter Thirty-Nine: Death in Battle, Death in Battle!
Most of them did not wear armor, and the weight of an iron armor was at least thirty or fifty catties. Even if a strong shaman wears it for a long time, he can't bear it. As a rule, they put on armor only before the battle.
"Wu Mu, how is it?" the Xiling general who led the troops asked an old man in a robe with gold thread beside him uneasily.
The old man was a witch priest of the Sect of Light, and he had just finished praying and stood up from the ground: "There is a powerful undead power here, and even the light of our lord cannot penetrate deeply. Hurry up, we're going to get to guò here before the sun sets!"
When the general heard this, he said in his heart, if it weren't for you praying here, we would have been gone for so long......
It's just that I don't even dare to think about it in my heart. These witch herds are so powerful, wouldn't it be bad to know what he's thinking?
"Get on the horse, speed up......" With the battle-hardened instinct, the general felt uneasy. Just from the moment I stepped into this place, there was always a danger that would not dissipate in my heart.
It felt as if he was about to step into an enemy ambush.
But he knew it wasn't. Because no one dares to lay an ambush here. Even dare to stay in this area for a long time, at night, this is the world of the undead.
What's more, he is accompanied by witch herds, who not only have great power but also can predict good and bad fortune. If there was an ambush, Wu Mu should have reminded him a long time ago.
Last time, it was also this general who led the troops and defeated the 50,000 army of the Northern Witches in the Daqingshan area. However, when he was chasing and killing, he just stepped into the area of the hidden capital, and he was scared back.
"Whoosh......"
"Enemy Attack ......"
"There is an ambush ......"
All kinds of cries. Let the general react quickly. How could there be an ambush here? His face was ugly, and he looked at Wu Mu.
Wu Mu's face was also a little ugly, and he said, "The light of my lord cannot enter this ......."
Although he couldn't understand it, the general understood. In this area of feelings, you have to rely on yourself to fight hard.
The sound of horses' hooves everywhere soon sounded like a storm, just listening to the momentum. I'm afraid it won't be less than 10,000.
A rain of arrows "swishing ......" came from a distance.
"It's the Witch of the North......" the general quickly distinguished. This rain of weak arrows must have come from the bow.
Among the Western shamans, there are only light cavalry and the like who serve as scouts. And keep this kind of thing.
If they were wearing armor in a head-to-head battle, they would simply disdain the arrows from the bows.
However, now none of them had time to put on their armor. That's dangerous.
Cavalry bows and arrows though because of the ease of carrying. Immediately shoot arrows and other reasons. It is smaller and weaker than an infantry bow and arrow.
But these arrows are often coated with poison. Or soak it directly in boiled feces.
In short, without armor piercing, these bows and arrows are very dangerous for them.
Sure enough, I heard a scream. I don't know how many people fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.
An army of 50,000 should be distributed over an extremely large area, especially cavalry. Even if it's a march. They are also spread out within a radius of several miles. I couldn't see the distance in the distance, and screamed one after another. It's confusing. will only subconsciously panic.
"Armor, armor!" the general ordered. In fact, many experienced veterans have already begun to unwrap their packages from the spare horses around them and start to put on their armor.
In such a situation where the line of sight is unclear, a random breakthrough will only lead to an even more dangerous situation.
However, the enemy apparently did not intend to give them time to put on their armor. After the rain of arrows, it's a charge.
Thousands of horses galloped, and the ground trembled constantly. If it was the army of Qingyang Dao, or even the army of the Northern Witches, in this case, I am afraid that it would have collapsed in morale and fallen into chaos.
But these Western witches are fighting in the south and in the north, and they are real elite soldiers. Although they were attacked by the enemy, the team did not fall into panic.
In this way, the soldiers and horses of the idle remnant tribe suddenly fell into a dilemma.
They listened to the order of the Earth God Monarch and lay in ambush for two days in this place where they had never dared to go deep before, and finally waited for the arrival of the enemy.
However, these enemies are much more powerful than they imagined. Even this did not fall into chaos and collapse.
For a while, the warriors of the Xianyu clan didn't know how to attack next.
Light cavalry rarely charged the enemy head-on, and the so-called cavalry and archery were just a myth.
In fact, cavalry arrows were much less powerful than infantry bows. Because of the carrying, the cavalry bow should be one size smaller, and it is difficult to pull the bowstring full of force on a bumpy horse, and it is even more difficult to face accurately, so it can only be diffused through.
Therefore, their tactics are mostly to follow harassment and sneak attacks. Like a wolf trapping prey, it follows a large group of prey and always finds an opportunity to bite it. Or wait until the prey panics, and chase after it from behind. But it is rarely a desperate fight.
Therefore, the enemy formation is not chaotic. For a while, these witches of the idle remnant clan were really a little confused, and they didn't know how to continue.
"Die in battle, die in battle!"
Someone shouted loudly, raising the horsepower to the maximum, and the spurs frantically stabbed into the war horse. Let the war horse suffer pain, and rush forward.
Normally, no warrior would treat his fellow mounts like this. The horse was urged with a spur, and the horse was wasted.
However, this time. Stimulated by the miraculous sight before his departure, the warrior wanted nothing more than to die a heroic death, leave this difficult world, and go to the kingdom of God to enjoy happiness.
Therefore, I don't even care about my own life. And where will you pay attention to war horses?
War horses are intelligent creatures that don't crash into objects like fools. But now he was mad with the spurs, but he couldn't care about it, and rushed directly into the enemy formation.
The knife in the warrior's hand swung wildly, as if it had slashed something. Then he was carried by a tremendous force and fell down. A horse's hoof, the size of a bowl, fell on top of him, and it seemed as if the ribs in his chest had been trampled off. Pierced deep into his fragile guts. Black blood poured from between his mouth and nose, but the warrior smiled contentedly.
It seems that he has just killed an enemy, and he should have died a heroic death, and he should be able to enter the kingdom of twelve beautiful virgins and countless riches......
He wasn't alone, as if uttered with this shout. What kind of spell was activated, and the soldiers of the idle remnant clan shouted the slogan of death in battle and rushed towards the Xiling cavalry.
is so fierce and not afraid of death. Or rather, under the impact of bent death. The cavalry of the Xiling people who were shocked was finally in chaos.
They had no armor, many of their weapons were not handy, and the horses did not run. There is no speed. At this moment, there was finally chaos, and the chaos affected the battle formations behind it, and it continued to expand.
One by one, the souls that died in battle immediately turned into rays of light. Fall into the beads of the world.
In this ghost realm. We must not delay too long. Otherwise, these souls who died in battle would only be lost in this ghost domain, turned into war spirits, and wandered forever.
The Earth God Monarch watched such a scene from a distance, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Eight thousand cavalry, and poorly equipped light cavalry, wanted to defeat 50,000 battle-hardened elite heavy cavalry. Even an ambush is a difficult thing.
It can even be said that it is impossible, if the cavalry of Xiling is a professional unit. Then the cavalry of the idle remnants. It's too amateurish.
The two sides are not a heavyweight army at all, even if among the 50,000 cavalry of Xiling, there are only 20,000 real ironclad cavalry.
However, it seems that the effect of the pre-war mobilization is much better than the Earth God Monarch had anticipated. The combat effectiveness exerted by these idle warriors was somewhat unexpectedly powerful.
This reminded the Earth God Monarch of some holy warriors from another world. The difference, however, is that it was already a world of hot weapons, and the role of individual bravery had been diminished to its lowest level.
It's not like in this world, in this era of cold weapons, playing an unimaginable huge role!
"Kill...... Kill ......"
The warriors of the Xianyu tribe rushed into the indiscriminate killing, and the place where they were impacted began to collapse and become chaotic, which is a long time to say, but in fact it is only a moment after two rounds of arrow rain.
The whole ambush has only passed until now, from hearing the sound of horses' hooves to the confusion of the Xiling cavalry.
Those cavalry in the rear, under the command of General Xiling, opened their horse bags and began to pierce armor.
However, even they themselves did not imagine that the periphery would be defeated so quickly.
The cavalry of the Xianyu clan charged in both directions, and the formation of the Xiling cavalry spread to the rear, causing even greater chaos.
It's like dropping a small stone into a calm pond and creating a wave, which spreads more and more until it reaches a certain range.
And in this battle formation, the chaos is easier to be amplified in the rear. Because those in the rear don't know what's going on, they will only be affected by the panic in front...... So much so that there is a chain reaction.
The whole battlefield is now like a pond of stones. And it was a huge stone that was lost......
The distorted military aura of the idle remnant clan is now soaring into the sky, like a rainbow.
Earth God Jun smiled slightly: "Let me help you again!"
This kind of big war, a different environment. Don't say that it is the Earth God Monarch, even the Emperor of the Five Directions is difficult to interfere with.
If the Earth God Monarch is strong and self-defeating, it will be easy to end up like the unlucky ghost who appeared at the head of Chengzhou City. A direct fall from the impact of military spirit.
Therefore, the Earth God Monarch avoided watching from a distance, and saw that the fire was almost over. Let's beat the side drum.
This is no other place, this is the secluded capital. This is the huge ancient battlefield.
Although it is almost independent, it becomes a realm alone. However, after all, it is not completely independent, and it is still connected with the Yang world. At night, it will still turn into a ghost world......
And now under the military aura of Ruhong, the Earth God Monarch laughed. A military flag was displayed in his hand, and as soon as the military flag waved, it was as red as fire, and the military qi was attracted like a scorching fire.
In the next moment, the thin layer of boundary membrane separating the Yang World and the Ghost Domain was broken.
Just like the Yin and Yang array placed by the Earth God Monarch when he was in Fenglai Mountain. The ghost realm overlapped with the yang world in the next moment.
The sky, which was originally dim, completely lost its light. But it's not pitch black. It's a dark red.
A meandering military aura danced in the sky like a dragon.
Countless sleeping war spirits were so alarmed that they converged towards the battlefield place.
"I am the successor of the Black Emperor of the North. You must listen to my orders!" The Earth God Monarch waved his military flag, shouted loudly, pointed to the distance, and shouted, "Kill me ......"
If it was another order, at this time, these war spirits would definitely not obey the orders of the Earth God Monarch.
After all, he wasn't really the Black Emperor of the North yet. Even the real Northern Black Emperor was not able to control all of these battle spirits.
But these fighting spirits who died in battle were attracted by the spirit of war. Even without the guidance of the Earth God King. Kill the past too.
The two armies, whether it was the army of the Xianyu clan or the cavalry of the Xiling people, were all stunned by the sudden change.
What was once a bleak day turned into night. However, there is a red light shining like a river.
Large expanses of fog emerged in the distance. In the midst of the shadows, thousands of troops appeared.
What the hell is going on? Everybody's heart is tingling.
But at this time, the witch herd of the Xiling people shouted: "These are evil undead creatures, rush out with me!"
As he spoke, he ripped off a gem from his chest. This ruby looks like it has a flame burning in it, and it looks like it has a flowing eye in it.
Eyes of Light!
This is a sacred relic of the Illuminati!
As this Eye of Light was taken out, a pillar of light like a cloud of fire rushed up. Illuminating the way forward.
The qiē in front of him turned white. Whether it's darkness, military spirit, or war spirit. All melted in this light. A passage that is directly carved out.
Such a powerful treasure, the earth's god's eyelids jumped. This army of Xiling people is much more powerful than he imagined. Why can't you let it enter Yanzhou...... Otherwise, the situation in Yanzhou is likely to collapse.
You must know that although Yanshan is vast, it is a natural city wall, isolating the inside and outside of Middle Earth.
However, this natural thing is often not so perfect. Moreover, Yanshan is not the Qinling Bashan in Han County, Chengzhou, which is so towering and dangerous.
Even the Qinling Bashan Mountain has so many natural passages.
However, among the Yan Mountains, there are many low places. If you want to go forward and climb over, you don't necessarily have to go through Guò Yanshan Pass.
Once these Xiling people cross Yanshan, the entire land of Yanzhou will no longer be in danger, and it will be a flat river. Perhaps there is also a big river barrier between it and Zhongzhou.
However, in the whole of Yanzhou itself, there is no terrain to rely on. With the strength in the hands of Li Qi, if you want to fight the cavalry on the Great Plains, you can only find death.
The best result is that Li Qi can resist the enemy's attack with a few large cities. It's kind of a few nails.
But in this case, the good situation is all gone. The army led by the clone will face the attack of the enemy on two sides.
Unifying the world will become far away, careless. The new dynasty of the Fan family is just another Northern Song Dynasty!
This is still to hold the first line of the big river, if you can't stand the first line of the big river. As soon as the two states of Zhongqing were lost, it was immediately the situation of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Therefore, at this time, the Earth God Monarch must not sit idly by.
The light condensed in an instant, and a beautiful kingdom of heaven was revealed. Everywhere there is enjoyment and pleasure.
Luxurious palaces, clouds of beauties, mountains of jewels, and endless delicacies......
They even saw familiar figures, all of them companions who had just died in battle.
Just now, those comrades were bloody and bloody, and some even fell under the horses and were trampled into meat sauce by the horses' hooves.
However, at this moment, they were reborn in this world bead. Dressed in a snow-white and soft robe, with a beautiful woman in her arms, in her hand is a gold cup inlaid with precious stones, and inside is a seductive aroma of wine.
These most naked temptations emerge from the pearls of the world. Then a loud voice spread across the battlefield: "I am your gods, my warriors. You will fight for me, and when you die, you will be favored by me and return to my kingdom. Stop them...... Blessed are everyone...... Don't be afraid of the ghost soldiers around you, they are reinforcements I sent...... Kill all these Xiling people......"
Under such naked temptation, there is a god himself.
These cavalrymen of the idle clan suddenly became as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Forget to be afraid. With a wild cry in his mouth, he rode his horse in front of the white light.
This white light can dissipate a qiē, whether it is military qiqi. It's still a war spirit, and even the ghost domain can be pierced. However, it did not play a role in these living warriors.
If they were afraid of these miracles, they might fall on their knees and tremble before the light.
Now, however, the Earth God Monarch had given them the most direct temptation. What is white light? Can it give them beautiful virgins like the gods of the earth, or gold and silver treasures like mountain peaks?
Besides. The Xianyu clan has been worshipping the Earth God Monarch for more than twenty years. Most of the warriors grew up under the protection of the Earth God, this is their clan god!
"Kill ......" These idle remnants rushed over and blocked the way.
"Rush over!" Wu Mu's eyes were about to turn red. He shouted hoarsely, "If we don't rush over, we will all die here...... This is the ghost realm, and if you die here, your soul will be defiled. I will never return to the arms of my lord......"
The people of Xiling have not believed in the Great Light God for too long. In the past, all they believed in was the White Emperor of the West. Although outside of Middle-earth. But they are inextricably linked to Middle-earth.
The most powerful witch tribe in the steppe also has the blood of the Western Heavenly Emperor. He also once entered Middle-earth, and was not rejected by too many Confucian scholars.
However, twenty years ago. The Golden Wolf King was in Wolf Mountain, and he was inspired by God and suddenly believed in the Great Light God. began to unify the various tribes of the Western Wu Clan, and also began to promote the faith of the Illuminati.
But overall, the Black Wolf Royal Court was separated early. Coming to Middle-earth with the intention of occupying it. Therefore. The traces of believing in the Illuminati religion are not deep. Unlike the Golden Wolf Court and the White Wolf Court, everyone has to pray to the Great Light God three times a day. Anyone who does not carry it out will be killed!
Therefore, most of the Xiling warriors composed of these Black Wolf Royal Court still maintained their original ancient concepts. They don't care much about where they go after death and what their souls take refuge in.
Although the witch herd shouted hoarsely, it could not inspire the morale of these Western Spirit warriors, let alone faith, and could not provide additional strength to the Eye of Light.
At this moment, this witch herd hated. I realized more and more that the so-called Western White Emperor was not really taking refuge in the Great Light God. In order to occupy Middle-earth, it is necessary to respect the customs of Middle-earth, and it is not possible to directly oppose the will of the entire Confucianism and Taoism.
Therefore, it is not possible to directly promote the teachings of the Great Light God......
Now, it seems that although the Black Wolf Royal Court has established a court in accordance with the customs of Middle-earth, it has proclaimed itself the Great Spirit and established an official system. However, it is clear that the Confucianism and Taoism of Middle-earth did not accept them either.
Even constantly resisting in secret, the incident in Hanjun is the best proof. And now that Middle-earth is about to be reunified, this is all the more indicative of the failure of their previous policies.
This Western White Emperor must be a spy sent by those primordial Shintos in Middle-earth to break into the side of the Great Light God!
This witch priest believes in this more and more, but this kind of thing, the decision to absorb the White Emperor of the West to become the incarnation of the Great Light God, and to become a Seraphic Angel is made by the Great Light God himself.
He, a small servant of the Great Bright God, was not qualified to question this.
If the belief in the Great Light God had been promoted in the Black Wolf Court earlier, these soldiers would have been believers by now. Where did this happen?
This witch herd almost wants to vomit blood!
However, it is still necessary to rush out and talk about it now. Otherwise, the whole army will be wiped out, and even the soul will be lost in this primordial ghost realm. This is the worst end!
This side of the world is too primitive, whether it's Shinto, or whatever. There is not even a unified underworld for the placement of ghosts...... It can only be said that the Shinto of this world is still in its infancy!
A simple, pristine place. It's just disgusting and contemptuous, and I can't die in this kind of place under any circumstances......
"Rush over ......" The light of the Eye of Light, like a straight light, broke through the darkness. However, there is no way to intercept the idle remnants.
Even the power of the Great Light God could not be applied to matter on such a large scale. This damn and nasty material world...... Now it's up to these warriors to get out.
Soon these Xiling people also realized something, and it seemed that the only way out in front of them was blocked.
For a moment, after realizing this. These people were desperate and rushed at the warriors of the idle remnants.
Don't stop the teacher, don't chase the poor! The dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, and the rabbit will bite when he is in a hurry......
So many sayings fully illustrate how dangerous it is to intercept these fleeing enemies so directly. (To be continued......)
