Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1425
As time passed, the sky finally gradually brightened up. The rising sun's rays sprinkled the world, not only dispelling the darkness, but also dispelling the heavy pressure shrouded in the king's formation.

Xie Ai stood on the towering command tower in front of the formation, overlooking the entire battlefield.Although he was a forward commander, he did not have the courage to fight in battle, because he did not wear armor, but only wore a thick fur robe to resist the wind and cold.

This can also reduce the burden on the body. After all, once the battle begins, he must stick to it and never leave it. And the battle does not know how long it will last. Naturally, he needs to save his energy. If there is no need to bear it, it will be useless at all. armor.

At this time, on the front battlefield, the corpses of men and horses were already scattered all over the ground, and the cavalry of both sides were still fighting fiercely.Even if Xie Ai was in the large formation several miles away, he could feel the strong bloody evil spirit through the tragic scene.

This kind of tragic battle is definitely a great harm to the cavalry who are not good at it. Although Wang Shi killed many enemies, he also suffered a lot of losses. There were even more corpses, almost covering the entire battlefield.

Such a painful price is not without gains. At least the Jie army's attack on the formation itself has been greatly suppressed. So far, except for the camp that was breached, the Jie army has no new results. Of course, there are several camps around. They have also been besieged and have become precarious.

"The cavalry retreated and returned to the formation, and the battalions were ready for battle!"

Xie Ai ordered in a low voice, looking down at the entire formation, small battalions were scattered in the formation, and soon, he will turn this formation into a bloody mill to kill the soldiers of the Jie army!
The sound of horns and drums sounded in the big formation, and at the same time, flags representing various orders were also hung on the command tower, constantly changing.The surrounding people still didn't feel it deeply, but from the Ling Pagoda, they could see that the whole camp was active, as if the dormant beast was gradually waking up, and it was about to choose someone to devour!

After receiving the order from inside the big formation, Xie Yi's tense heartstrings finally loosened a little. The remaining thousands of cavalry under his command rushed into the battlefield, and began to move from near to far, to support the cavalry fellows on the battlefield to evacuate the battlefield and return to the formation .

In the rear of the Jie army, Ma Qiu looked dignified, and his arm holding the rein trembled frequently, as if he could not help raising it up to order more troops to prevent the retreat of the Jin army cavalry on the battlefield, but the left-wing Wangshi Fenwu army was as silent as a mountain. The substantial pressure he brought piled up in his heart like a fortress, and in the end he did not order an increase in troops, allowing the cavalry of the Jin army on the battlefield to gradually leave the battle and return to the large formation.

This battle lasted for less than half an hour, and the fighting was so fierce that even Ma Qiu, a veteran general who regarded human life like nothing, was heartbroken. Due to the overall inferiority in equipment and fighting spirit, the casualty ratio between the Jie army and the Jin army was almost maintained at two ratios One, the lives of two Jie soldiers can be exchanged for the death of a Jin soldier.

If Ma Qiu hadn't come to the battle to supervise the battle in person, the battle would have been almost unsustainable. During the battle, there were many knights of the Jie army who were frightened and wandered back on their horses, unwilling to join the tragic life harvesting battle circle. It was only after being warned by Fei Shi, the supervisor of the rear, that he bit the bullet and returned to the battlefield again.

As the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield, the Jie army cavalry from all over the battlefield began to gather gradually. Ma Qiu took a rough look, and couldn't help but gasp. The number of troops still standing on the battlefield has decreased by at least [-]% More than enough!
As soldiers with high mobility, in conventional combat, such an astonishing loss can only be achieved after several fierce battles, but the precious and unusual cavalry has become a pure consumable on the current battlefield.

After the Jin army withdrew from the battlefield, Ma Qiu also took advantage of this rare gap to withdraw several troops with heavy casualties from the battlefield, and supplemented them with new troops on standby.

During this process, besides being vigilant about the dynamics of the Jin army and the Fenwu army, he was also carefully calculating Liming's gains and losses in this battle.Leaving aside the astonishing battle damage, in terms of gains, first of all, they captured a camp of the Jin army. Although it was only one-64th of the entire camp of the Jin army, it was a breakthrough from scratch. All attacks will rely on this foundation and continue to advance inward.

In addition, the Jin army's cavalry cards were forced out. Even if there is no direct gain in the current battle, some potential hidden dangers can be avoided in the foreseeable future, and unnecessary losses will no longer be caused.

These gains are still small things, for Ma Qiu there is another biggest gain.

He rode his horse forward slowly for a few feet, looked up at the command tower in the Jin army formation where the flag command was constantly changing, his eyes were already full of fierce light.In the dark, he seemed to feel that Xie Ai's eyes were also watching him. They had been fighting each other for many years, and they could be called old enemies.

Taking advantage of the fierce attack launched before dawn, Xie Ai was urged to leave the camp of the Chinese army and turn to the front to command the battle nearby. This was the biggest gain for Ma Qiu!

He launched this decisive battle with Xie Ai as the most important target, not only because Xie Ai has been an old enemy in his life that is difficult to defeat in the past few years, but also because he knows that Xie Ai is the absolute opponent of the Jin army. at the heart of it.

As the distance between each other gets closer, as long as we can break through the many obstacles in this distance and siege Xie Ai, the large formation of the Jin army will collapse without a fight. For this reason, it is worthwhile to spend everything !
Xie Ai's life was worth his all-or-nothing gamble!
"The one who killed the southern bandit and thanked Ai, made the first contribution to this battle, and made great efforts to become a marquis!"

Ma Qiu's arms were bluffed, and his eyes fell on the knights of the Jie army on the battlefield, and his tone became agitated: "My husband has built a career and made a name for himself in the world. Today is the day! If you don't break the southern bandits, you will never return to the city! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The drums in the city of Xiangguo sounded in unison, and with Ma Qiu's desperate and shrill roar, the battle continued.

There are still [-] soldiers of the Jie army on the battlefield. Accompanied by the sound of passionate drums, they began to rush towards the Jin army's camp along the gap in the camp they conquered before, and the shouts of killing resounded for a while. This side of heaven and earth.

Xie Ai's expression on the command tower was still stern, and the cold wind blew intermittently the shouts of "kill Xie Ai, seek the title" from the generals of the Jie army. To thank someone for his life is still too light in the eyes of the Jie thief. Forget it, I will tell Jie Lord from this battle, if there is no promise to be king, how can I shake me at all!"

At this time, in addition to some ordering soldiers, there were more than a dozen young sages from the secret pavilion who accompanied the army. Apart from watching the battle and counting their merits, they were also responsible for watching the changes in the formation.Hearing Xie Ai's laughing words, the young sages of the secret pavilion couldn't help laughing, but they all looked at the forward governor, all of them were full of ardent admiration.

On the front line, the Jie army began to pour into the Jin army.The big formation is not flat. In addition to the scattered and criss-crossed camps, there are also many intricate mounds and trenches of varying heights. Winding forward.

Xie Ai's eyes were shining brightly, and his eyes never left the Jie army's attacking and wandering team in the large formation, and he kept making gestures, which were transformed into flag orders with different meanings by his own soldiers.

With a flick of a finger, thousands of troops will attack, and the tower is like a game of chess, the clouds are calm and the wind is light, but the big formation is full of gold and iron horses, and the sound of killing is loud!
The young sages of the Secret Pavilion were fortunate enough to experience this situation and witness how the entire formation calmly changed, blocking and killing the enemy.

In the battle formation, the first target of the Jie army was the command tower where the former army Xie Ai stood, because once they rushed into the formation, they took this as the must-attack target.On the way they marched, there were high hills and towers, deep ravines, dense knives and chariot battles, and fierce shooting with powerful bows.

In order to avoid these various obstacles, the Jie army could not follow a straight line during the charge. They seemed to be advancing bravely all the way, but only those who were on the command tower and had a glimpse of the overall situation understood that in fact these The advancing route of Jie soldiers is always under the control of the governor Xie Ai!

It is obvious that the Jie army's advance to the left is closer, but the pass on the left is stacked against horses. With the lift of Xie Ai's finger on the command tower, thousands of soldiers gathered here in the battle formation and shot straight at Jie. The way forward for the army to rush forward, if the Jie army still persists in this direction, they will fall to their corpses every step of the way, almost committing suicide. They can only abandon this intersection and turn to another road where the offensive is obviously weakened.

The Jie army in the battle seems to be aware of this problem. They also try to stay in a certain open area for a while or try to pull out a certain key camp, but often there will be several times as many Jin troops around this place. The army guards, relying on powerful equipment, hunted them crazily, so that they had to continue to maintain the pace of advancement and continue to advance along the route laid by the Jin army.

So in the sight of the master Lingta, the Jie army was guided by this kind of bit by bit suppression, meandering into a large formation in which Master Wang had already set up a killing formation.

This killing formation is a gentle slope that gradually descends. When the Jie army first set foot on it, they didn't feel any difference. This place is very close to the position of the Jin army leader Xie Ai, and the terrain is open, which is conducive to the impact of the cavalry. Naturally rejoiced.

But as they rushed into Lixu, they suddenly discovered that this road had dropped significantly, and the slopes on both sides of the road were already level with the war horses.And in front of them, the infantry of the Jin army had already gathered here, and many cylindrical instruments were erected on the slope, each of which was pulled and pulled by oxen and horses. wave!

Among the eight formations, there are not only weapons that can be directly used to kill the enemy.Xie Ai was ingenious and used the bellows used for blast furnace forging. Although the airflow ejected from these bellows is violent, it cannot bring direct damage to the Jie army, but these airflows will be stacked here. Dust mounds were blowing up.

All of a sudden, wild sand was flying all over the sky, pouring into the eyes, ears, mouths and noses of the Jie soldiers, blinded by sight and hearing, rampaging in this narrow and long area like headless flies, but there were already soldiers of the king who calmly drew their bows and rushed into this area. The Jie soldiers shot and killed them one by one!
