C232 Grand Black Turtle Formation

Beigong Chun had never fought in such a useless battle before. He was a man from the west who specialized in horse warfare. But now? The hole in the city gate was too small, so the riders were unable to use it. The corpses on the ground were too thick, causing the horses to be unable to advance.

After an hour of fierce battle, out of the two hundred heavy cavalry soldiers that Beigong Chun had brought along, only over eight hundred were left.

Just then, Zhuge Mingyue led more than a thousand Blood Blade Camp soldiers to the south gate.

Under Gao Xu's command, the Xianbei army saw that his surprise attack had no success, so he immediately transferred over to the siege machinery, small catapults, and other siege equipment. He threw huge rocks and burning fireballs at the city walls, causing them to explode with an ear-piercing sound.

Due to Liao Nan and Guo Wei joining the battle and being killed by Blood Shadow Killer who was hiding in the shadows with a cold arrow, Beigong Chun arrived at the South Gate in time to subdue the other defending troops. On top of the city, people were also looking down from above with different colors, throwing stones and crossbow bolts, and recently using rolling wood and stone slabs to build an indestructible defensive line. From afar, people constantly climbed and fell from the city walls, turning into badly mutilated bodies.

This was a tough battle, the final outcome depended on the strength of both sides' forces, the level of their morale, it had nothing to do with the rationality of the battlefield, the formation of formations, the completeness of all kinds of military equipment, the use of strategies, the piles of dead people below the walls, the broken limbs, the blood everywhere, the blood that permeated the ground, the bloody smell of blood, the burning flames, the bows, swords, shields, Gobi, the slashes of the swords, the waves, the blood stains of the armor, the arrows in the shoulders, they disregarded everything, everyone seemed to have gone crazy, only constantly waving their weapons, forgetting about life and death, forgetting their fear.

"Soldiers, this Luoyang is the capital of our Da Jin, and this place holds the hopes of the citizens of the Da Jin, so our head can be chopped off, our blood can flow, but the city cannot be lost, for the citizens of the city, our wives and children, for the country of the Jin Emperor, fight it out with me, rather die in battle than kneel!" Beigong Chun pulled out the blade at his waist, and personally commanded the five hundred over Black Shirt Army Heavy Cavalry to abandon Horse City's defense. Many soldiers saw that the general had personally come up to fight alongside everyone else, immediately raising the morale.

"I would rather die than kneel down and live..." "Kill …"

The two thousand guards at the head of South Gate City had already killed more than eight hundred people, the five hundred Black Shirt Army s had suffered more than ten casualties, and the Xianbei army outside the city had also suffered thousands of casualties. Although this Xianbei army was vicious, in the end, the other side still occupied the advantage of the city, and from a high vantage point, they did not fight hand to hand.

Some of them were wearing decent military uniforms and came out from various streets. There were also some civilians who were not wearing any armor, and there were even some women, elderly people, and they were all holding iron weapons, sickles, sticks, and brooms as they rushed towards the city gate. Just then, the Shadow Intelligence personnel started spreading rumors among the citizens, "Xianbei member has destroyed the city, men and women, old and young, all massacred.

"Drive the Xianbei member away and defend the Da Jin!" Xianbei member attacked our city and invaded our territory, we will fight it out with him … " "Right, we Chinese are not easy to bully …"

Very quickly, the army rushed to the drill grounds inside the city gate. A Academy Officer brought along a group of small leaders such as Qi Men, Qi Men, and the other few people to organize the militia and the people to form an array. After that, they all climbed up the city wall to reinforce the frontlines. As for the non-soldier citizens, they sent out simple swords and spears. These people were used to transport the tools used to defend the city. Arrows, rocks, rolling wood, firewood, and so on.

Beigong Chun turned around and saw that the soldiers and citizens were of one mind, and he was extremely moved, and said excitedly: "Soldiers, villagers, there are people in the city, and all who die in the city. Defend Luoyang Yang at all costs, kill and repel Xianbei member!"

"There are people in the city, and people have died …" The people and the army in the city were in a frenzy, full of the will to kill.

Gao Xu knew the situation of the guards of the southern gate, so he purposely relaxed his attack on the southern gate in the next three days, causing the situation of the Xianbei army's main attack on the western gate. Gao Xu sat on the steed, his expression changed slightly as he looked at the offense and defense of the city. The ten thousand elite soldiers of the frontline against the two thousand guards of the city gate had actually injured more than two thousand men, and before they could attack the city, the city gates had already collapsed for an instant, but it was difficult for them to take another step forward. The city gate could not be entered, so once they rushed to the top of the city gates, they were forced to retreat.

How could a mere two thousand Han Chinese soldiers resist such a mighty and humble elite? Gao Xu was in disbelief. According to his understanding, the moment the army charged, they would at lightning speed tear apart the defense line at the top of the city walls and smoothly enter the city in a very small amount of damage.

"Everyone attack! Charge up and kill!" Gao Xu could not wait any longer, there was even a large army at the back waiting, this group of elites was here to quickly break through the city gates and take down the Luoyang.

Seven to eight thousand men rushed under the city walls, crazily attacking the city walls. Beigong Chun waved his blade and commanded the guards at the head of the city, tenaciously resisting the attacks of the enemy soldier. There were several times when the enemy soldier almost took over the head of the city, and before he could even make progress in his battle, he was pushed down by the Black Shirt Army. Originally, the fighting capabilities of these soldiers were not as ferocious as his opponents, but they were roused up by the determination and fighting spirit of the city guards, and they swore to protect the Luoyang to their deaths. [The people are not afraid of death, how can death be the biggest fear!]

The people's will to protect the city had already suppressed their fear of death, their potential had erupted, their combat power had actually soared, and they were trapped in a beast battle. The people's will to protect the city had already suppressed their fear of death, their own potential had erupted, and their combat power had actually soared, and they were trapped in a beast battle.

"Kill!" Kill! Kill! " After an hour of fierce battle, almost all of the two thousand guards inside the city had died, and the five hundred people below the city finally pushed Xianbei member out, closing the city gates. However, out of the five hundred Black Shirt Soldiers s, less than a hundred were still standing, and the situation of the five hundred Black Shirt Army s on the city walls was not much better. Although there were still more than two hundred people, it was obvious that these people were all strong crossbow s.

However, the attacks from the Xianbei army did not loosen at all. This moment had reached its most critical moment. Whether or not it could be defended was up to him.

"Fire oil, ready — release!" Seeing that thousands of people were blocking the main sect's side, Beigong Chun immediately ordered the citizens to throw in the burning oil. The boiling oil was poured down, instantly scalding close to a thousand enemy soldier s below.

"Ah ~ ~" Many of the fresh soldiers' faces were twisted. They were in so much pain that they rolled on the ground and were shot to death by the arrows.

"Charge!" Blood flowed everywhere, and the sound of battle shook the skies. The corpses were trampled on mercilessly like a rag, with many of them falling onto the ground, turning into a corpse. Beigong Chun had barely managed to dispel the first wave of attacks from the Xianbei army, as the second wave of soldiers and horses followed suit.

Zhuge Mingyue stood on top of the city gate and watched the battle below, it was already scorching hot, seeing that the city gate was in danger, with deafening banging sounds, the city gate was struck and trembling continuously, the entire city gate tower was shaking along with the main entrance's wall, flames were everywhere, corpses were everywhere, and countless soldiers were dying in battle every second. Both sides' forces were severely weakened, but of course, the current situation was still dominated by the defending army. Although the Xianbei army had over ten thousand casualties, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers behind them. To them, the situation was extremely unfavorable.

Zhuge Mingyue thought that the other city gates would come to provide reinforcements, but after waiting for an hour, not a single person came. She quickly understood that the enemy must have relied on their own strength to fake the attack at the other city gates. If the other gates were no match for him, then she would use the other gates to break through them.

Zhuge Mingyue walked over to Beigong Chun's side and was shocked. Clasping his fists, she said, "Madam, why have you come here? Arrows are flying everywhere on the battlefield, just in case. How can I face my lord if something unexpected happens? "

"This won't do, we have to kill ourselves! If we continue defending like this, killing the enemy would cost us 800, fighting with numbers, we won't be able to afford it, even if the Luoyang can hold on, if Xianbei army abandons us, we can lead the troops to the east, and in three days, we can reach the gates of the Cyan Plains City. At that moment, the forces of the Cyan Plains are empty, our hearts are unsteady, if we send these elites to be buried here, if the Cyan Plains lose, what will the Prime Minister do in the future send to the Central Plains?" Zhuge Mingyue said worriedly.

How could Beigong Chun not understand the situation of the Black Shirt Army? Even if the Black Shirt Army and the Mu-Rong's disease were to fight to the point where both of them were severely injured, the other dukes would still hope to see a situation like this, furthermore, the Huns had already recovered for more than half a year, and were about to recover. If the Huns were to send troops from the Pingyang, forget about saving the Luoyang, even protecting themselves would only be a problem. Beigong Chun asked with difficulty: "May I know what madam has instructed?"

Zhuge Mingyue said coldly: "The best defense is to attack, and order all Blood Blade Camp to attack from the city, to disrupt the enemy's attack!"

Zhuge Mingyue ordered for a moment, and then Blood Blade Camp's Battalion Commander Zhang Ju and Vice Battalion Commander Wang Huai started circling around the city anxiously. Zhang Jiu shouted loudly, "Open the city gates, and let those bastards see the power of our Blood Blade Camp!"

Zhuge Mingyue then left the city under the protection of dozens of guards. Beigong Chun was startled, but quickly understood, "Madam! Let Beigong Chun go out of the city to face the enemy! "

Beigong Chun thought that although the city walls were still extremely dangerous, as long as they left the city, there would definitely be a deathly trap for them.

Zhuge Mingyue laughed coldly: "Although the General of the Northern Palace has the courage of being invincible, will you be placing the eight trigrams array of the nine palaces down?"

Beigong Chun was at a loss for words, then Zhuge Mingyue commanded the Blood Blade Camp to attack. The soldiers inside the city gates opened the gates, and the soldiers on both sides quickly moved aside. Zhang Jie held his spear and rode forward like a bolt of lightning, heading straight for the enemy forces outside the city. The long spear in his hand was like a whirlwind as it swept away all the arrows shot at him. The cavalrymen behind him were like a prairie fire as they madly galloped. Their horses' hooves rumbled and the charging riders let out a terrifying whistle. Although there were only a thousand people in Blood Blade Camp, their war horses galloped and there was the vague aura of a million cavalry sweeping across the land.

The moment the Blood Blade Camp left the city gates, she immediately rushed towards the attacking troops. The cavalry rushed out of the main city gate like a flood and destroyed hundreds of ladders to counterattack the enemy soldier outside the city.

In an instant, the Blood Blade Camp soldiers dispersed into three groups of three, forming small triangular formations. All of the triangular formations once more formed into a giant triangular formation. As it moved at high speed, it instantly formed a formation. At the top of the triangular formation were the hundred Blood Blade's elite warriors who had consumed the Tiger Leopard Soup.

Zhang Zi let out a thunderous roar, "Blood blades, shoot! Follow me and kill! Kill, kill!"

"As long as the black shirt strikes, I am invincible!" Although there were only a bit more than a thousand Blood Blades, their voices resounded through the world.

Speaking of fighting strength, Xianbei army was not bad. Not only was it not bad, it was even above average. The fierce and vicious Huns, compared to the Xianbei army, could only flee. Capturing one of the top ten warriors in China, Ran Min, how could his fighting strength be weak like this? Although Min and Wei troops did not stay long in Chinese history, they were invincible in terms of their ferocity, defeating the Huns, destroying the karma, and fighting low. but in the end, he lost to the Xianbei member. Min Wei perished immediately.

Gao Xu could swear that he had not fought a hundred battles, or at least a few dozens, but he had never seen a formation as weird as Blood Blade Camp's. How should one describe it? In the instant that the entire formation charged forward, it was like a triangle. While running, the formation constantly changed. The first small formation with Zhang Jiji as the arrow first tore a hole in the formation of the low level army, and then the entire formation began to spin. The three of them had long and narrow scimitars (horse-chopping knife) and were constantly changing partners, but they were working together as well. Wherever it went, it was as if a gigantic meat grinder had just passed by. Flesh and blood sprayed out, turning the area outside of the gully into an asura hell. Thin and long sword rays swallowed and spat out, taking away many lives.

The people of Fly were all descendants of Qing Qiang, while the nomadic and hunting races were usually brave and fierce. After Zhuge Liang established the Fly, he placed great importance on these warriors. The soldiers were proud of the battlefield, and fighting was their second life, so when the Han Dynasty was defeated, the Fly, because of Zhuge Liang, vowed to protect the descendants of Zhuge desperately. The Blood Blade Camp had the Fly as its base, and also picked out the best from the roaming herdsmen and hunters to train with. Although there were few of them, they were still better than regular Black Shirt Army in terms of fighting strength. Ranging and hunting were both good at riding and shooting. In the triangular formation, strong arch's hard crossbows and arrows whistled past one another, nailing the inferior troops into a pool of blood.

Every time they came into contact with each other, a group of inferior soldiers would definitely fall down.

Gao Xu was a little stunned! He had lived so long, and he had fought with the officials and army countless times, yet such a situation had never occurred. Initially, they were all climbing up towards the city wall, having no time to react. Suddenly, they were attacked by a group of soldiers and horses, and were unable to make it to the front of the troops, who were using their metallic hooves to charge forward. They were immediately met with an effect, alleviating the threat of attacking the city.

After being stunned for a short while, Gao Xu laughed coldly, "Jin Army actually came out of the city to meet me in battle, do you think that you can win against me, Gao Xu?! Vice General Ren Qiu, you will lead thirty thousand men to command them to continue attacking the city, the other generals, listen to the orders, form an array formation and rush up, changing their positions, alternating between the Tiger Wing Formation and the Coiling Snake Formation, surround the Jin Army, shrink the battle circle, and then eliminate them one by one. As long as the array is changed correctly, it will not take too many men to defeat the Jin Army! "

More than ten Academy Officer s (including their thousand-man commander) stepped forward to receive the order. Taking the order, they jumped onto their horses and formed a thousand man formation, forming into a geese flying array, whizzing out, rushing straight towards Blood Blade Camp.

The two armies clashed, the troops at the front row of Blood Blade Camp clashed head on, rushing to the front of the formation. When the two armies clashed, over a thousand of Blood Blade Camp soldiers swung their horse-chopping knife down, causing the entire Xianbei army to fall down, their bodies turning into a mess of blood and flesh.

"Wings folded, snakes coiled around each other!" Seeing that the Blood Blade Camp was powerful, Gao Xu did not use the geese formation to charge forward, but instead shouted out the order to use the formation to kill the Jin Army general.

Zhang Zian was about to rush forward and kill the enemy general, but the enemy Formation suddenly changed, the Goose-Traversing Formation transformed into a Tiger Wing Formation, and the goose head transformed into a tiger, the two wings suddenly spread apart from the side and folded back, cutting diagonally into the Han army.

"Formation!" Zhuge Mingyue who was in the middle of Blood Blade Camp's Heaven and Earth Triad was suddenly stunned. The formation of the opponent had changed, causing the charging Formation to change greatly. No matter how you charged, you could not tear through the enemy's defense and retreat. Zhuge Mingyue smiled sweetly. "Aunt, you are still a little too young to do such a thing!"

Zhuge Mingyue shouted, "Pass down the order, change the Triad formation to the Grand Black Tortoise Formation!"

Following which, the messenger at Zhuge Mingyue's side waved a torch, and used the flag banner in place of the fire to send out the order for the formation.

The Black Tortoise Formation was a defensive formation, the entire army had gathered in the shape of a Black Tortoise, with an outer appearance of an iron wall and the insides containing an innate formation diagram of a tortoise. As the Fly was trained by Zhuge Mingyue, although she was able to replenish a lot of new blood, it did not hinder her coordination. After that, the soldiers immediately spread out the orders, and quickly lined up into Formation s according to the arrays they usually trained, with hundreds of people gathering, or even dozens of people. The small team followed the large team, and the large teams formed a circle, and in a short while, a Black Tortoise Formation was formed.

Xianbei army set up the Tiger Wing Formation on the outside of the battle array, then activated the Coiling Snake Array to shrink the encirclement, wanting to trap and kill this group of Jin Army, but at this time, the enemy soldier who had inserted themselves into the array of Jin Army found that the arrangement of the warriors inside was strange, it was either blocking or blocking, causing people to feel dizzy, and they didn't know where to kill the enemy.

The Black Shirt Army in the array moved, the defenses and the killing techniques killed the enemy. The thorny branches neatly killed all of the fresh horse that entered the array, leaving the surrounding Xianbei army s to spin around in layers, unable to shrink any further. Once they made contact with the exterior of the Black Tortoise Formation, the shield armor and the horse-chopping knife formed a hard defensive shell.

Fresh blood gushed out from all directions as the scimitar rushed towards the Black Shirt Army to kill him, but the Black Shirt Army who had set up the Black Tortoise Formation, the outer perimeter was completely blocked off by the shield, and they worked together with the horse-chopping knife to assassinate the approaching enemy soldier, leaving behind a few openings for the enemy to enter, but the enemy troops that entered through the opening were immediately trapped in the inner array, no matter how they charged, they were quickly exterminated by the soldiers that intersected from all directions.

After fighting for a long time, the Xianbei army suffered heavy casualties, and there were also casualties in the Blood Blade Camp, but they were too small. If a thousand people set up a formation, only tens of thousands would be able to defeat it. However, all of the Blood Blade Camp s were able to block ten of them, while the thirty thousand surrounding Xianbei army s were powerless to attack.

When Gao Xu saw this scene from afar, he frowned and said: "I never thought that there would be people in Jin Army who are proficient in arranging battle formations. The Grand Black Tortoise Formation has a very strong defensive nature, it contains an innate tribulation phenomenon, once inside, it would be like a maze, and the tortoise would hide and be hard to break. In reality, the best way for the eagle to deal with the tortoise shell is to grab onto high up in the sky and fall down.

"General, how do we break the formation?" A military general on the side asked.

Gao Xu said: "If there are heavy armoured cavalry soldiers, ten of them are tied up with iron chains, and if we charge forward, regardless of how secretive the enemies are, we will directly crush them from head to toe, and break the formation! It's just that our army doesn't have heavy cavalry, so this method isn't suitable. In a short period of time, we won't be able to build heavy cavalry. "Now, there is another way. We can gather all of the city charging carriages and let them lead the way. The cavalry can also break through the Black Turtle Formation with their wings spread out in front of them!"

"This lowly general is willing to break the formation!" A robust Academy Officer beside Gao Xu said.

Gao Xu nodded his head: "Alright, the Tearstone Warrior will quickly organize the charging carriages. If the formation is broken, all participating soldiers will be promoted to three levels, and 100 slaves will be rewarded, and 100 oxen and horses will be rewarded."

"General's orders!" He then ordered his soldiers to tie the four Rushing City vehicles with iron chains and arrange them in a formation. Then, he arranged four thousand Saber and Shield Soldiers to defend the assault vehicles on the outskirts of the city. In the past, city charging carriages would only use people to push their carriages forward, but in Xianbei member, there were still many war horses, so they did not use too many soldiers to cart the carriage. Instead, they used a few soldiers to direct the carriages forward, while the 100 other war horses pulled the carriage.

"Kill ~ ~"

The wheels of the car were in a state of chaos, and dust was flying everywhere. The thick armor was hard and the iron chains were connected to each other. The train was supposed to be used to ram into the city gates. The shield line that was used to ram against the Blood Blade Camp had the smell of an anti-aircraft gun hitting mosquitoes. Bang! Bang! Bang! The impact caused the car in the front to stop. The shield hand that was in the front got knocked away, causing blood and flesh to be mixed in with the car.

It would be unwise to block with force at this moment. Zhuge Mingyue's brain worked very quickly,

"What should we do? "Miss, quickly think of a way!" Seeing his comrades by his side stained with blood, Wang Huai asked anxiously.

Zhuge Mingyue shook her head and sighed: "Against such a huge army, the ability to sweep the battlefield is not something a single person can stop, but the intelligence of a human being is limitless, and can be relied on, it's just that the chance is not here yet."

Wang Huai said anxiously, "When will be the time? General Zhang is surrounded by heavy soldiers, not to mention whether he can defeat Xianbei army, it would be difficult to even escape successfully. It would be too late if we don't save him now!"
