Chapter 211 No.20 Scene Eight

Just half an hour before Ye's army broke into the forest, the cavalry army of unknown origin was hiding in the forest, carefully observing the situation at the ferry outside.

This iron brigade of nearly [-] people in heavy armor was the Red Flame Army led by Jiang Yan across the Jin River, all the way south, and through the highlands of the imperial capital.They went south this time with too much momentum. In order to avoid being discovered by Yu Jing's defense prematurely, they have been lingering on the edge of the Gobi, a hundred miles away from the north of the city.

In the city of Yujing, the north, west, and east directions are all smooth roads. Only the south of the city is surrounded by Tongyan and Yushui, and there is a primitive jungle for the army to hide.Finally, Jiang Yan was looking forward to a continuous heavy rain last night, and finally seized the opportunity to avoid the eyes and ears of the defenders and reach the north bank of Yushui, and sent scouts to sneak into the city smoothly.

Right now, its army is mainly composed of young and strong men from the four tribes of Muyun, Chuoluo, Yimu and Qingzi.Many of them are veterans who survived the previous battle against Yubei.Each of them only had enough rations for one day, but they had at least three Shuobei steeds by their side.Relying on the replacement of horses, even if they had to catch up with the road for several days around the clock, the cavalry army that had sneaked into the hinterland of Gyeonggi in the Dasheng Dynasty still had the strength to fight.

But today it was sunny, and the sunlight falling from the heights of the dense forest merged into golden beams of light, sprinkled on the red armor worn by the soldiers, reflecting a fiery crimson in the shadowy woodland.As soon as it was dawn, Jiang Yan ordered his soldiers to collect vine branches in the forest to slightly cover his red armor.But before they could make a move, they heard the rumble of the war drum outside the forest, and two mighty armies came.

The young Hehan led Wuchen to the edge of the forest, and soon saw tens of thousands of soldiers in silver armor marching forward on the plain where the green and yellow bordered, like a whole iron plate.The golden king's flag held high in the formation showed that the person who came was the Guan Ning soldier of Wei Liang.On the opposite side of them is the military guard army defending Gyeonggi.

This discovery made the young people quite surprised, but secretly rejoiced—what was surprising was that the Guan Ning soldiers who once defeated the Iron Mountain and severely damaged the Muyun Department now dared to fight against the imperial power of the Dasheng Dynasty that they had sworn to defend. Armed with each other.Fortunately, if I leave later this time, I am afraid that I will collide with these two troops head-on and face an inevitable bloody battle.

Right now, he is not afraid of confronting the enemy, but he knows in his heart that he is betting on the fate of the entire grassland this time when he goes south.Before finding out Ning Yue's whereabouts, she must keep a low profile anyway.Otherwise, with only [-] cavalry troops under his command, even if each of them is a master of ten, it will be difficult to persist for too long under the imperial city of the Dasheng Dynasty.

On the battlefield outside the forest, accompanied by the roar of killing, the two opposing forces collided head-on, but they were evenly matched.For a moment, on the black soil of the plateau before Longshou crossed, it seemed that two rushing rivers, clear and turbid, were converging together, but they were clearly separated, like a chasm.

Zhechongwei, who raised his shield forward, was the first to encounter the vanguard of the soldiers.The seemingly unbreakable line of defense had just resolved the three rounds of intensive salvos launched by Wei Liang's formation just a moment ago.On the huge shield, arrows are now densely inserted like hedgehogs.And it was the same scene in the Wei Liang formation, which was only a few dozen steps away from them.

In the blink of an eye, the long lance protruding from behind the giant shield looked like two monsters with countless fangs, fighting and biting each other, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Yujing Wuwei's formation is derived from Guan Ning's soldiers who repelled Tie Chongshan back then. 60 years ago, Luqiu Borong's grandfather, Luqiu Dezong, had to grant the Qiyue Formation to Emperor Huan Baijiang Linran in order to keep the military power in Guanning, and he died of depression because of this.

However, he still left a hand for his descendants.The so-called Queyue Formation consists of three soldiers forming a small team, with one person holding a bow, one holding a shield, and one using a lance in each group, and then hundreds or thousands of such small teams form a crescent-like arc. Formation is the essence.

However, this array has another layer of changes when attacking, which is called the moon ring array.In the formation, every 300 people will form a team, and 100 people in the team will lift their shields over the top to form an airtight circular iron plate.Then use 100 people to stick out from the gaps in the surrounding shields to defend against the enemy.Finally, a hundred archers shoot long distances when the center shield is opened.The huge wheel formed in this way is as dense as an iron barrel, and it can advance and retreat in all directions, and can attack from a distance or fight in close combat, consuming the opponent's physical strength until the enemy's formation is broken.

During the Shuodi Rebellion, what they were facing was the barbarian cavalry, so Guan Ning's military soldiers only used the semi-circular moon formation for offense, and had never used the more powerful moon formation before anyone.And since then, this formation has become a closely guarded secret in the Wei Liang army.

At this moment, only three long and two short drumbeats could be heard in the formation. The vanguard of the pawns who had been advancing in the moon formation suddenly changed their formation, spinning like a huge wind and fire wheel on the battlefield, advancing faster than before. faster.

Seeing this situation, Yujing Wuwei on the opposite side couldn't help being shocked, but he didn't know how to solve it, so he had to grit his teeth and meet it head-on.However, all the sergeants in the formation defended against the enemy head-on, and could not get the slightest breath.On the other hand, everyone in the Wei Liang formation was relaxed, and the intensity of the attack did not decrease at all.After just one stick of incense, Zhe Chongwei was exhausted, he didn't even have the strength to raise his shield to defend, and the only way left was to hang his neck and wait to be slaughtered.

The two guards Wuwei and Xiaoqi who followed closely behind saw the defeat of the former army, and hurriedly tried to follow the example of the military pawns and change formations. Training can't work out.The formation of Wuwei and Xiaoqi's two guards changed halfway before they realized something was wrong. They hastily ordered to change back again, but they couldn't help it, and made a mess.

Guan Ning's soldiers no longer gave their opponents a chance to continue struggling.At this time, the tall and powerful soldiers seemed to be transformed into a group of ferocious bears who chewed people and chewed bones in the red flames. Wherever they passed, no one in the enemy line could survive, leaving only severed heads and limbs, and broken stomachs. Bowel flow.

In just half an hour, Wei Liang's army had already chased after Qian Yujing Wuwei who was defeated and fled, and continued to march north.The screams of the victors and the screams of the losers faded away, but Jiang Yan suddenly heard the sound of swords and soldiers clashing in the corner of the Red Flame Army's camp behind him.

Monton on the side saw the young man frowning, and stepped forward before he could ask a question, as if he had been waiting for a long time:

"Qihehan, a southerner army of unknown origin broke into the forest in the east, and seemed to have escaped from Longshoudu. Now they have fought with the army from the right, but the battle is not very fierce, so it is not in time. report."

"Another Southern army of unknown origin? Is it the scouts sent by the main force of Wei Liang?"

Jiang Yan felt that the matter was not that simple, so he continued to ask.

Meng Dun shook his head, and said again: "The other party is wearing black heavy armor, he looks a bit like a boat master from Ye Kingdom, but the armor style is a bit different, and I haven't seen any sea falcon flags."

"The Ye army is here too? Could it be that Qi Shouyu also wants to take this opportunity to take a share of the dying Da Shengchao? Shameless!"

Knowing that it was actually the army of Ye Kingdom, Jiang Yan became furious immediately.

The contact between Yanluoyuan and the Central Plains is not close, and the battle with Yubei a few days ago has exacerbated the lack of news.At this time, the young Hehan didn't know that Qi Shouyu had passed away, and the present Ye Kingdom honored Qi Ziyin as king.What's more, he didn't know that the army of Ye Kingdom that appeared in the forest was led by his best friend from the past.

The so-called enemy is extremely jealous when they meet, even though it has been many years, when he thinks of Xiang Baili's tragic death on the execution ground that day, and the endless concern for his friend in his heart, the anger in Young Hehan's heart is instantly ignited.Without saying a word, he pulled out his Xiaotianmo, raised his arms, and personally led the Red Flame Army to attack.

Qi Ziyin also didn't know that the leader of the Di people he was facing was the black-eyed boy whom he had been looking for for many years.At this time, he had just used the complex terrain in the forest to resist a wave of fierce attacks, but when he saw more barbarian warriors in red armor pouring in, he realized that the opponent had made up his mind to take himself with a thousand soldiers under his command. Annihilate them all.

But even though he was in a desperate situation, the young man wearing the silver mask still had blood bubbling in his heart, firmly believing that he could survive, and a sentence suddenly sounded in his mind:

"A good wind enters the sky to help, soaring straight to the blue sky."

This sentence is the aphorism of the sages who told him the same general Yan many years ago when Xiang Baili was teaching the art of war.General Tsing Yi explained that marching and fighting is like spreading your wings against the wind. If you insist on flying against the wind, even if you are as strong as Kunpeng, you will inevitably lose your way.And if you can follow the trend, even if you use less to defend more, you may not be unable to win the final victory.

The young man never felt that he would be so eager to continue living in this world, looking forward to the day when he successfully found Ning Yue and rescued her.He turned his head, looked at the vanguard of Wei Liang who had gone far to the north, and looked at the main force of his troops who were slowly pulling out from under Suoyang Pass. Suddenly he had a way, and he ordered loudly to the soldiers behind him:

"Let's go! Leave the forest and lead all these barbarians to Suoyang Pass!"

At the same time when Longshou had already been slaughtered in the dark before crossing, on the official road not too far from the battlefield, several figures on horseback were looking away, looking at the billowing waves rising above the battlefield from afar. soot.

It was Kun Jie and his men who passed through Suoyang Pass closely behind Wei Liang's army.Now, the mounts under their crotches seemed to be a little afraid of the thick smell of blood in the air, and kept snorting, but they were tightly strangled by the reins, and they could only kick the ground with their four hooves irritably.

Seeing this, Kun Jie laughed out loud, and raised his hand to pat the horse's side neck:
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! The more these people on the land kill each other today, the more beneficial it will be to us! But I didn't expect that Luqiu Borong would be the first to strike, forcing Gao Li to order the closure of the gate of Suoyangguan , cut himself off from all communication with the South."

Near him is the newly promoted law enforcement elder named Nie Sheng.He was originally one of Gao Li's subordinates who hadn't been reused for many years, but he was picked up by Kun Jie when he entered Beijing before, and since then he has been on the rise and promoted steadily.

Seeing that Kunjie was in a good mood, Nie Sheng took over the conversation:
"It also never occurred to me that the first few words left in the other courtyard in Weiliang back then would help us a lot by mistake. Otherwise, the remains of the ancestors in Qingying Mountain would have collapsed, and the road to Suoyang Pass is now open. It is also completely closed, and I will not be able to go north again after a while."

Unexpectedly, when Kun Jie heard this, he suddenly became serious:

"Do you really think that those files left in the other courtyard of Jingshu City were not burned because I left too hastily? Is this seat so stupid?"

"The first seat means—"

Nie Sheng was startled suddenly, as if he had thought of something in his mind, he didn't dare to guess easily.

"If you burn all the files containing the firebolt guns, and don't leave some sweetness for Nalu Qiu Borong, how can you make him hard to let go of the power of such powerful ancestors?"

Kunjie laughed again, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness just now, "The more you can't get something, the more you want to hold it firmly in your hands. What's more, even the weapons that your enemies have already mastered , with Luqiu Borong's temperament, how can she tolerate herself being at a disadvantage?"

"These princes and kings of land people have already been thoroughly seen by the chief! So, those bat and kite making methods are also intentionally reserved for the other party? You--you have already figured out that the Gaoli Society ordered the closure of Suoyang Pass?"

While flattering the horse, Nie Sheng couldn't help but have a new problem.

"It's not that I calculated ahead of time. But since I have given Gao Li the secret of the firebolt gun first, I can't give Wei Liang the same weapon. Otherwise, after the battle before the battle, the two sides will definitely have doubts in their hearts. At that time If all the focus falls on us, wouldn’t it be a big deal.”

Kun Jie shook his head, and then changed the topic, "But now, Wei Liang has opened the passage to the north for us, and those things that have been prepared for a long time will finally come in handy. The people on the land who live and die will find that no matter who wins among them, they will no longer be able to escape the fate of being swallowed by death!"

As he spoke, he paused, and turned his gaze to the distant imperial city that had stood on this plateau for thousands of years:
"It's about the Suoyang Pass being cut off. Right now, I'm planning to go to the city to meet our deacon again. Listen to his order that hinders our family's plans. Is there any other better explanation? !"
