Chapter 58

On the Jin army side, on a high platform in the army, Feng Qingzi with a relaxed expression raised a smile on his lips, and said indifferently: "Very good! Finally, it's not a tortoise, let's do it too."

He gave such a random order, and Zhao Xiang ran away immediately and went to give the order in person.

Soon, the sound of the drums beating on the Jin army's side became hasty.

At the same time, Pingling closed the city wall, and the last wave of arrows finally flew over.

There were continuous explosions in the sky, and dense fireballs, ice crystals, and boulders fell down, and fell into the heavy armored infantry positions of the Jin Kingdom that were on the verge of collapse.

But at this moment, the seemingly chaotic heavy armored infantry quietly changed.

Each of the teams that it split into before gathered together to form circular shield formations with arcs.

The shield in the middle of the shield array is different from the other round shields around, with strange runes engraved on it.

In the noisy army formation, the sound of chanting that was almost inaudible slowly sounded, and a golden light lit up in the center of each shield formation, turning into a huge golden round shield, smashing those The fireballs, boulders and other objects under it were all blocked from the outside.

"Not good! It's an enemy monk!" Seeing this scene from afar, King Guangliang yelled out.

The monks who accompanied the army of Jin actually hid in the heavy armored infantry, and did not hesitate to pay such a huge price, until the army stationed in the city was led out of the customs, and this was revealed.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but admire Zhao Xiang's courage and strategy.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhao Xiang was just a pawn, and the person who actually commanded the Jin army was actually the national teacher Feng Qingzi.

However, it was said that after the third round of the bed crossbow attack failed, the heavy armored infantry of the Jin state regrouped and returned to their original square formation.

On the other hand, the cavalry on the Yue Kingdom side was extremely fast, but they had already rushed to the front, and the reinvigorated infantry also rushed up behind them.

To their surprise, the Jin State cavalry, who were cooperating with Yu's two wings, did not take the initiative to stop the entanglement, so they let them rush towards the heavy armoured infantry.

When approaching fifty paces, the Jin State Heavy Armored Infantry stopped neatly, and the first two rows of soldiers squatted down one after another, protecting the front body with a round shield, holding a halberd in one hand, the halberd tip was like a forest slanting thorn in the air, and the halberd rod The tail sticks firmly to the ground.

This is the most common and effective position of heavy armour against cavalry.

Naturally, the army of Yue also noticed that the Jin army was ready to fight, but what the cavalry rushed into the battle was the indomitable momentum.

At this moment, as long as you can rely on this momentum, you can tear a hole in the Jin army in one go.

Then the Yue State infantry cut into it again, and with short soldiers against the halberd, they could naturally kill the Jin State's heavy armored infantry without leaving a piece of armor.

Just listening to the sound of killing shouts, the hundreds of cavalry soldiers in the lead of the Yue Kingdom jumped high on the crotch and stepped on the heavy armored infantry of the Jin Kingdom, but they were pierced by the forest-like halberds. , fell down with blood spraying from his nose and mouth.

The Yue cavalry who fell to the ground were hit hard by the Jin army with the edge of the round shield, and their heads were directly beheaded.

Under a series of continuous raids, the phalanx of the Jin State Heavy Armored Infantry was finally torn apart, and the Yue State Infantry immediately rushed up and fought with it.

At this juncture, the Jin army cavalry cruising on both sides flanked from the two flanks, cutting off the retreat of the Yue cavalry and infantry, and completely surrounded them.

And the light armored infantry of the state of Jin, which had been pulled away before, also began to accelerate their march, rushing towards this side.

In the blink of an eye, the 13 troops of Yue State on the battlefield suddenly became the turtle in the urn.

"My lord, quickly send the troops in the pass to help. If the army is lost, Pingling Pass will definitely be lost." The middle-aged counselor looked anxious and hurried forward and said.

"But in Pingling Pass, there are no reinforcements to dispatch." King Guangliang glanced at the middle-aged counselor with a strange expression, and his tone was indifferent.

"What? Isn't there the one who pulled out the camp first... Could it be?" The middle-aged adviser was shocked when he heard the words.

"Are you surprised? Do you think there is still information you don't know? Lu joined the army!" King Guangliang's expression turned cold and he shouted loudly.

After hearing this, the middle-aged counselor jumped up without any hesitation, stepped on the ground with one foot, and jumped out of the city wall, falling straight down.

However, before he could fall to the ground, a purple sword light swept across his head, cutting his skull and cheeks in half.He didn't even have time to let out a scream, so he was sent to Huangquan, and his body fell to the ground, causing a cloud of smoke.

King Guangliang held the long sword in his hand, stood on the female wall, and slowly put away the long sword expressionlessly.

"It's time to send the signal." Without turning around, he ordered the messenger behind him.

On the battlefield, under the impact of the Jin army, the 13 Yue army suffered great losses. Soon tens of thousands of horses died in battle. The direction moves slowly.

However, as early as when they were completely surrounded, the city gate of Pingling Pass had been closed again, and the bed crossbows above the city had also been withdrawn, replaced by more than a thousand archers, one by one. The arrow was aimed at the oncoming Jin army, ready to go.

Just when the Jin army was going to swallow the Vietnamese army in one go, the sound of war drums resounded on the city wall, as if it echoed with it, and suddenly there were thunderous sounds on the battlefield. , and the earth trembled violently.

On the left side of the battlefield, smoke and dust billowed, like yellow horned dragons soaring into the sky, a Yue cavalry in snow-white light armor charged towards the Jin cavalry on the left flank with spears in hand.

In the rear, the Wuyangyang Yueguo Infantry, with hundreds of thousands of people, followed the cavalry to attack at a rapid pace, with a huge momentum.

Except for a part of the army that was originally stationed in Pingling Pass, the vast majority of this large army of the Yue Kingdom was the army in ambush stationed at Liangjie Mountain Army Town as seen by Tie Jian at that time.As soon as the fighter plane arrived today, they immediately rushed over.

Seeing this, the Jin cavalry quickly turned the horse's head and greeted the Yue cavalry who came to help.

However, things started in a hurry, and the cavalry formation was temporarily reversed. Whether it was the impact distance of the warhorse or the momentum of the charge, it was a bit weaker than the Yueguo cavalry. In addition, the Yueguo cavalry had infantry behind them. After a round of charging, they were hit to pieces and collapsed.

The remnants of the Vietnamese army who were originally surrounded in the center saw the reinforcements arrive, and they all fought bravely to be the first.Not only did they no longer retreat in the direction of Pingling Pass, but instead broke out in the direction of the reinforcements, under the attack of the two sides, it was like a broken bamboo.

At this time, Jin's light armored infantry finally caught up, and all the troops of the two countries in this war have been put on the table so far, and the melee of millions of people has finally begun. curtain.

With this left-wing reinforcement raid, the Yue Kingdom gained a certain advantage in the early stage, but it is still unknown whether it will be able to completely defeat the Jin army in one go.

For a time, on the battlefield, there were screaming screams, swords clashing, and heart-piercing howls. The war was so tragic, how could it be a simple "corpses spread everywhere and blood flowed into rivers" "Descriptive.

……

The sound of killing in Pingling Pass was so loud that the roar continued, and even Liangjie Mountain Army Town could clearly perceive it.

At this time, near the military town, outside a thatched hut in a dilapidated village, Yan Zi looked at the sky in the distance, her face full of worry.After a while, she walked back into the thatched hut and sat beside Ning Xiaoxiao, who was wrapped in a silver light cocoon.

"Big Brother Tie has been gone for so long, and I don't know what's going on now? Are you practicing in seclusion? Or have you already gone to the Pingling Pass battlefield?" She sighed and said faintly.

Ning Xiaoxiao naturally couldn't give her any response, she was still just sleeping in the light cocoon, without any reaction.

"Sister Ning, speaking of it, I really envy you. If you can get Brother Tie's love, if he can treat me... well, what am I talking about? I just hope you can wake up soon..."

At the end of Yan Zi's speech, she was speechless and could only smile wryly.

……

However, it was said that on a high platform behind the Jin army, Zhao Xiang, who was wearing armor, was holding the hilt of the sword in his palm, and his body was obviously hot and sweating, but his heart was cold.

In the past, he only heard his parents talk about the last tragic war between Jinyue and Beiman. He was arrogant and arrogant. He just regarded it as a game of battle to gain fame. The poems of military exploits are all written with blood, and the high altars where the generals worship are built of human bones.

Seeing that the Jin army was at a disadvantage, he stepped forward tremblingly, clasped his fists and bowed to the national teacher Feng Qingzi sitting on the high chair, and said, "National teacher, can you use the power of those monks now?"

Feng Qingzi was holding an ancient blue book with unknown content in his hand, and was studying it with a frown. After hearing this, he raised his eyes to look at the situation on the battlefield, then looked up at the sky, and nodded slightly .

Ning Chen, who was standing beside the servant, immediately understood, and ordered a few words to the messenger beside him.

After a while, there were bursts of strange bells ringing on the battlefield.

With the sound of the bell, there were bursts of roaring sounds in dozens of areas on the entire battlefield.

In an instant, sheets of powerful open fire talismans exploded everywhere, and groups of fireballs the size of human heads swept across hundreds of feet, turning people on their backs as they passed, leaving black and charred corpses all over the place.

The fire on this side died down, and the thunder broke out there again, and all kinds of magical powers began to show their power.

In addition to the places where the Jin and Yue armies fought, there were monks accompanying the army of the Jin Dynasty who launched an attack, and even the monk spies who had been hiding in the Vietnamese army for many years suddenly launched killers, using various methods of practitioners to kill the people around them .

Poor those soldiers of the Yue State, who couldn't react in time, died in the hands of Pao Ze, who used to be called brothers and sisters, who lived and died together.

The cultivators of the Jin State killed the cultivators, and the cultivators of the Yue State would naturally not be soft-hearted, and they all used their housekeeping skills to fight with them.

On the battlefield, these people were unreserved and unscrupulous in their actions. What they fought with each other was mana and magic weapons, and it became a stalemate for a while, but the ordinary soldiers were affected, and the casualties became more and more heavy.

At this point in the battle, the number of both sides plus the number of damaged troops has reached hundreds of thousands.

Before I knew it, the sun was rising three poles, and it was already noon.

Feng Qingzi, who had always been quite leisurely, leaned on the large chair, looked down at the shadow in front of him, and his expression became solemn. With a twist of his wrist, he put away the cyan ancient book and slowly got out of the chair. stand up.
