Chapter 160 Great Array
"Brother, it seems that the enemy has not used any ambushing methods." Lin Qiaoyu said as he looked at the dense enemy in front of him: "I'm afraid this is the main force of the enemy, right? I'm afraid there are no less than 300,000 to 400,000 people. Do they want to fight head-on with us?"
"Well, right, the enemy is full of confidence and wants to use superior forces to destroy us." Su Chengyun nodded slightly and pondered: "But what puzzles me is, is Xiao Tianci so many troops? Just dealing with us, we have dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops. If we add the 400,000 troops of Prince Jingchou's east route and 200,000 troops of Gu Dingfeng's south route, how many soldiers will they have to dispatch in Tianqingzhou?"
"Brother, what should we do now? Are we going to fight?" Lin Qiaoyu didn't think so much. He kept paying attention to the hundreds of thousands of troops of the enemy opposite.
"Since we've all come, let's fight first. Now it's too late for us to retreat, and the enemy will definitely catch up." Su Chengyun thought about it and finally made a difficult decision.
"Okay, brother, I'll arrange for the army to attack immediately." Lin Qiaoyu nodded, took a deep breath and said.
"Wait, you send cavalry to test it first and see how powerful the enemy soldiers are?" Su Chengyun stopped him again and ordered again.
"Okay." Lin Qiaoyu nodded again and went down to make arrangements.
Soon, a light cavalry with a population of 50,000 people directly killed out of the 200,000 army. These light cavalry were the main forces of the Tianchen Kingdom. Everyone wore light armor, held sabers, and carried strong crossbows. The combat power was very strong. After they rushed out, the 50,000 people rushed towards the formation like a tide.
"Ka, da, da."
Tian Feng stood on the high observation deck, looking at the cavalry rushing across from him, feeling the slight shaking of the wooden board under his feet. He held the wooden railings on the observation deck with both hands, and raised an undeniable smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Boom~"
The ground was shaking more and more violently, and Tian Feng, who was standing on the platform, felt particularly obvious. The sound of the cavalry trampling on the ground was like rolling thunder coming from the horizon, neatly and dull, causing a hint of shock and uneasiness in everyone's hearts. The hundreds of thousands of troops under the observation platform couldn't help but hold their breath, and the originally noisy and noisy Sancai Formation was quiet at this moment.
All the soldiers turned their eyes to the torrent. When the 50,000 light cavalry ran less than hundreds of meters away from them, they saw these knights taking off the powerful crossbow on their backs and placing the strings on the crossbow. In the cold light of the crossbow arrows, the 50,000 knights aimed the powerful crossbow at this side at the same time.
Tian Feng's face changed slightly. He picked up a red flag from the table and waved it gently downwards several times. The three generals Lu Bu who presided over the Three Formations of Heaven, Earth and Man said at the same time: "All swords, shields, soldiers raised shields and defended arrows."
As soon as their order came down, countless soldiers holding sharp shields walked out of three positions. The soldiers were strong and each of them held a huge sharp shield. After they stood up, they quickly lined up in several rows, lifted the giant shield and pushed it in front of them, forming several airtight shield walls.
"shoot!"
When the 50,000 light cavalry rushed into the hundred meters, the general of the Central Army, who led the army, shouted with cold eyes and took the lead in shooting the crossbow arrow in his hand.
"Swish swish~~"
Suddenly, 50,000 powerful crossbows and 50,000 crossbow arrows shot out at the same time. With a powerful impact force, they cut through the space and distance and shot onto the front shield wall.
"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding
The crossbow arrows hit the shield wall and made a sharp sound. Some even made a few sparks. However, although the 50,000 crossbow arrows were huge, they did not cause any damage to Lu Bu and the others. Perhaps seeing the enemy's tight defense, the enemy's light cavalry general shouted again: "Everyone took the arrow and was ready to charge."
"Swish!" The 50,000 light cavalry also put the bow and crossbow back on their body, and then pulled out a long slashing sabre from the horse's back, speeding up again and charging fifty meters away from the formation.
Seeing this, Tian Feng, who was standing on the observation deck, put down the red flag in his hand and picked up a black flag from the table and waved it down several times.
"All archers shoot and fight back, all spearmen, Mo Daoshi came out to meet the enemy." Lu Bu and three other generals announced their orders loudly when they saw Tian Feng's order flag.
Soon, the archers standing at the end of the Sancai Formation raised the long bow in their hands and shot the long arrows in their hands at a forty-five degrees angle to their arms. In an instant, tens of thousands of long arrows were shot back, and after passing beautiful parabolas in the air, they all plunged into the galloping enemy light cavalry.
"Ah! Ah!"
Suddenly, the enemy's 50,000 light riders were as if they were dumplings. Countless riders screamed and fell from the horses, and were then trampled on by the war horses running up from behind. The casualties were terrible.
This wave of arrow rain took away at least thousands of knights' lives, and many people were scratched by arrows, but they still insisted on charging with their sabers. The enemy's light cavalry general had a hint of perseverance on his face. Although the enemy's arrow rain caused them to suffer heavy losses, they had already rushed into the enemy's position. Now it was time to fight against each other. As the most elite light cavalry in the Tianchen Kingdom, they were definitely not afraid of any enemy during the charge.
"The sky formation is heading to the front and heading to the enemy, the ground formation enters from the middle of the enemy's army to cut off the front and back connections of the enemy. The human formation attacks the rear of the enemy, disrupts the enemy's formation, and cuts off the enemy's retreat."
Just as the two armies were about to fight each other, Tian Feng's orders reached the three main generals again, and the entire three talent formation immediately started to operate. The 300,000 troops cooperated with each other and forced the enemy's 50,000 light cavalry within their respective ranges.
The spearmen used their spears to head towards the rider bucket on the horse's back, and Mo Daobing held Mo Dao and slashed at the horse's legs together. The enemy's 50,000 troops had completely fallen into the three-talent formation. The three soldiers and horses in the front, middle and back were cut and separated into three parts, fighting each other, and completely chaotic. In addition, under the restraint of the troops, they were completely trapped in the state of being passively beaten.
On the side of the coalition forces, Su Chengyun, Lin Qiao and both looked at the battle opposite with nervous expressions. After seeing their 50,000 light cavalry being trapped and strangled by the enemy's army, Su Chengyun's breathing became rapid, and the right hand holding the weapon was bulging, which shows how huge the fluctuations in his heart were.
"Brother, the Light Cavalry troops are in danger. Do you want to retreat with a rushing Jin?" Lin Qiao asked with some anxiety on her face.
However, Su Chengyun did not answer his words, and still stared at the melee crowd opposite him.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qiaoyu called him twice when he saw this. Only then did Su Chengyun come to his senses and look at Lin Qiaoyu in confusion and said, "What?"
"Brother, I ask if I want to retreat with the gold medal. If we don't retreat, our 50,000 light cavalry will be in danger and the entire army will be wiped out." Lin Qiaoyu asked again.
"Jiao and you come to see you." Unexpectedly, Su Chengyun did not answer his words, but pointed to the crowd fighting opposite. Lin Qiao and looked in the direction of his finger, and Su Chengyun's words sounded again in his ears: "According to my observation, the enemy on the opposite side should have arranged a large formation. This large formation is divided into three parts, and various types of troops cooperate closely with each other, and the three parts are connected together to share our light cavalry."
"It's true." Listening to Su Chengyun's explanation, Lin Qiaoyu noticed the changes in the enemy's formation and nodded slightly, "It's still the eldest brother who observes it carefully, but have you seen this enemy formation before? How should we break it?"
"I haven't seen it before." Su Chengyun shook his head, narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent for a moment, and then said: "But I have an idea. In fact, although this formation provides a great advantage to the enemy, it is not without weaknesses. Maybe we can make use of one or two."
"Oh, what's the weakness?" Lin Qiao and his eyes lit up and asked.
"Look, although the enemy's formation is varied and closely coordinated, there is no barrier in this wilderness. If we send all the troops to surround them, if the enemy does not move, I will not move. If the enemy moves, there will be only one way to break through. At that time, the enemy's formation will be broken without attacking." Su Chengyun pointed at the opposite side and talked happily.
After listening to Su Chengyun's explanation, Lin Qiaoyu thought for a moment and thought it was indeed a good method. However, he thought of another question and hesitated for a while and asked: "Brother, this method should be effective. However, except for the 50,000 light cavalry that were trapped in the enemy, we only have 150,000 troops left. The enemy's eyes are estimated to have 200,000 to 300,000 troops. Can we be trapped with such a small force?"
"Haha, this is not actually a problem." Hearing Lin Qiao's question, Su Chengyun smiled and said, "Our goal is not to siege the enemy to death, but to break their formation. As long as we attract the enemy to fight, our goal will be achieved. When the time comes, we will break their formation and fight head-on, and the winner will be based on our ability."
"Okay, since that's the case, I'll order the entire army to attack." Lin Qiaoyu thought about it and did not worry about this issue anymore. He nodded and said, "Brother, you'll be here to command. I'll lead the army here later."
"No, this time I personally commanded it. The situation will change rapidly in the battle later. We must respond immediately. If I sit here, it will be useless." Su Chengyun shook his head and said.
On the battlefield, there was a complete one-sided situation. Lu Bu, in the sky formation, personally entered the battlefield, like a peerless war god, and tens of thousands of light cavalry groups in the front of the enemy were frantically sweeping wildly.
