Cui Wei was looking at the chaotic battlefield at this time. The situation was urgent, but the situation was complicated at this time. None of the three formations originally arranged could defeat the enemy's strange moves.
The red flag in Cuiwei's hand suddenly burst into dense semaphores. Bao Zheng already understood the meaning of the semaphores. Cui Wei actually asked Gongsun Ce to retreat to the center and use the defensive formation, while the other three armies all used the killing formation to rotate around the center!
Although Bao Zheng didn't know how to arrange the formation, he instantly understood Cui Wei's painstaking efforts. Gongsun Ce stayed in the middle to guard against any eventuality, and when the killing formation rotated, it was actually a defensive formation that changed with the wind and clouds. It was just three killing formations in motion. Anyone who dared to go deep into it alone would only die.
During the change of formation on the spot, a rain of arrows was launched first to suppress the enemy's offensive. Four hundred crossbow arrows were also released outside the formation. When the enemy's offensive slowed down, the Song army's formation immediately changed. Because there were many corps commanders and captains giving strict orders, although there were enemy swordsmen and shieldmen causing trouble, the Song army did not cause too much confusion, and the killing array began to rotate immediately. The second rain of arrows flying into the sky was fired, and when the killing formation began to spin, the fifteen hundred sword and shield wielders caught in it felt like they were in a meat grinder. Even though they made a surprise attack and entered the Song Army's camp, their defense seemed vulnerable to the coordinated killings of countless five people in the killing formation.
The situation changes only in an instant. Half of the sword and shield players trapped in the rotating killing formation died in an instant. By the time the peripheral enemies rushed over and tried to cooperate with the sword and shield players, almost all the sword and shield players in the formation had been killed.
The Song Army also paid a heavy price because of this sudden attack by the enemy. Four hundred Ouchi guards and Kou Tang masters died in this raid. However, in this bloody battle, The secret legions who did not cooperate with each other paid the price of 1,500 sword and shield wielders and 300 peripheral soldiers.
After wiping out 1,500 sword and shield warriors, Cui Wei urgently waved the command flag again, and the three armies changed their defensive formations and retreated fifty steps, continuing to defend the defensive formations! Gongsun Ce's men and horses in the Chinese army instantly transferred 300 men to the three armies in front as supplements. After Gongsun Ce's men and horses were transferred, they could only form a smaller and more compact defensive formation, just to protect Zhao Zhen.
As soon as Cuiwei's command flag stopped, the Song army adjusted very quickly, indicating that before the army could recover, the defensive formation was completed and it began to retreat in an orderly manner. Everyone in the Song Army has witnessed the wonder of the formation with their own eyes. Now the two thousand Song Army only suffered 400 casualties, but they devoured the 4,100 troops of the Dark Envoy Corps.
Cui Wei knew at this time that the reason why several battles were able to achieve such an effect was, on the one hand, because the enemy army did not cooperate, and secondly, because the enemy's individual soldier ability was much worse than that of the Song army composed of Ouchi guards and Kou Tang masters, and The most important point is because the enemy did not use bows and arrows! Among the 4,100 people killed by the Song army, more than half were killed by crossbows and arrows from high altitudes. Now that the arrows are slowly being consumed, if the enemy continues to organize attacks, it will be difficult to continue with such lethality!
At this time, dozens of officers returned to Li Yuanhao, all looking guilty. The Dark Envoy Legion paused their attack again at this time.
Li Yuanhao witnessed the failure of the Wild Goose Strike Formation, and immediately said coldly: "This girl Cui Wei must die! Otherwise, she will cause great trouble to me in Xixia in the future!"
At this time, an old officer said shamelessly: "Sir, if you hadn't given all your bows and arrows to the blocking troops in the north, if you had used arrow branches to attack the cover and then charged forward, you would have been able to defeat them!"
Li Yuanhao said coldly: "If we don't give bows and arrows to the blocking troops from the north, do you think that Yang Wenguang's 50,000 soldiers and horses have not arrived here by now? If we block the troops from the north, the whole army will probably be wiped out, just to let us Fight to the death to capture Zhao Zhen. But this Cui Wei is too difficult to deal with, but I didn¡¯t expect it in advance.¡±
An officer said shamelessly: "Sir, at this time the Song Army is using two formations at the same time. I'm afraid the Wild Goose Strike Formation won't work."
Li Yuanhao frowned and thought about it, and immediately said: "The reason why the Song Army's formation is so powerful is that it is the first to respond after the rotation. If someone forcibly blocks the response of the three armies, the rotation formation will be broken immediately and the rotation will stop. Their strength Once dispersed, it will surely fall apart in an instant.¡±
As soon as Li Yuanhao said this, he immediately ordered all the officers to open their huts. Li Yuanhao ordered again: "Separate the killing formation and attack with force!"
During the battle of Juelongpo, 50,000 forbidden troops were hidden in the jungle grass of Taishan Temple. At this time, Yang Wenguang was wearing heavy armor, riding a war horse, and holding a gun in one hand, standing on a hilltop. Next to him was the dignified and beautiful Murong Guiying.
According to the time, Prince Zhao Zhen¡¯s men should be arriving at this time, but why has there been no movement until now? Faced with such a situation, the brave and handsome Yang Wenguang started to??A little anxious, but at this time he had no choice but to wait. In order to prevent the 50,000 soldiers and horses ambushing Taishan Temple from being discovered, scouts cannot be sent out casually to inquire for information.
While everyone in Taishan Temple was waiting anxiously, Murong Guiying, who was attentive, pointed to the distance and shouted loudly: "Husband, look! That's wolf smoke! It looks like it should be in the direction of Juelongpo!"
Yang Wenguang took a closer look and saw a thick smoke rising from Juelongpo Mountain in the distance. However, there were so many trees on the mountain that it would be difficult to spot it unless you were careful.
Yang Wenguang immediately said to himself: "Juelongpo? Isn't there a garrison there?" After Yang Wenguang pondered for a moment, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately said angrily: "No, the prince must be besieged at this time. Send the order and all will be killed immediately." Go south to save the prince."
Yang Wenguang gave the order, and the 50,000 people hiding on the mountain immediately began to surge. For a while, the flags on the mountain were raised high, and a large number of people began to go down the mountain, waiting only for Shangguan Road, and then marched all the way south. There was no time to delay at this moment, and Yang Wenguang had only one thought, that is: nothing should happen to the prince.
Just when Yang Wenguang ordered to go down the mountain, a large number of infantry suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain. Yang Wenguang took a closer look and saw that there were more than 10,000 people.
"How did these people appear here?" Yang Wenguang asked in confusion!
Murong Guiying immediately said: "Husband, when we first arrived at Taishan Temple yesterday afternoon, we already conducted an investigation, and we didn't find this group of people at all. I'm sure they were quietly lurking there last night."
Yang Wenguang slapped his head at this time and said: "It seems that this time, we have fallen into the trap of others!"
At this moment, the soldiers at the foot of the mountain suddenly took out their bows and arrows, and each of them had a bow like a full moon, arrows like shooting stars, and the arrow branches were lit on fire in an instant. Suddenly, a rain of rockets hit the mountain, and the rockets shot between the thatch and trees. Suddenly, thick smoke burst out, and the fire suddenly shot up into the sky.
Murong Guiying said at this time: "Husband, this is not good! It is late autumn, the climate is dry, and there are many dead branches and leaves. They attack with fire, I am afraid we will suffer heavy losses."
Yang Wenguang saddled his horse and immediately galloped down the mountain, shouting as he rushed: "There is nothing more we can do. It is important to save the prince at this time."
The fire at the bottom of the mountain expanded instantly, and thick smoke filled the mountain. Yang Wenguang ordered to rush down the mountain, but the soldiers only rushed a few hundred meters and were already choked by thick smoke and couldn't open their eyes. Yang Wenguang took the lead and rushed down the mountain. Although the soldiers' eyes were filled with tears, when they saw that the young master was not afraid of death, they immediately closed their eyes and rushed down after Yang Wenguang.
As soon as the men and horses rushed to a place not far from the foot of the mountain, the fire was so strong that the clothes of the soldiers were already on fire. Suddenly, someone howled like a slaughtered pig. The Song army's downward charge did not slow down. However, after the baptism of fire, only one-third of the people who could rush to the foot of the mountain were left. A dense rain of arrows followed from the foot of the mountain. , the Song army was so choked by the thick smoke that they could not even open their eyes. How could they escape? None of the soldiers who rushed to the bottom of the mountain in an instant were spared, and they were all killed.
Yang Wenguang¡¯s horses were frightened by the fire and had long since disappeared. However, he witnessed his soldiers being swallowed up by the fire and shot to death by a dense rain of arrows. At this moment, he realized that the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain were not simple! He decisively waved his spear and retreated with all the Song troops.
When Yang Wenguang retreated to the mountain, Murong Guiying was still standing there on horseback.
Yang Wenguang's face was filled with disgrace at this time, and he immediately said: "Guiying, it seems that you have been reckless this time! Unfortunately, more than half of the thousands of people who rushed down with me this time died. I, Yang Wenguang, can't be sorry for my brothers in the Forbidden Army this time." Yang Wenguang Speaking of this, his voice was a little choked. As a general, he is more sad than anyone else about the death of his soldier brothers. Every soldier on the battlefield is the general's life and death brother, sharing life and death together. There is no deeper friendship than this.
Murong Guiying said calmly: "Husband, Guiying has a plan! The five elements are naturally in conflict with each other. People in the world only know that water overcomes fire, but they don't know that fire and fire are also in conflict with each other. There is no wind today, so it is the right time to use fire to overcome fire. Law."
After hearing what Murong Guiying said, Yang Wenguang immediately nodded and said: "Guiying, you reminded me well!
Yang Wenguang immediately sent all the soldiers to mobilize and light a fire on the mountain. Suddenly, the fire started. On the top of the mountain was the huge Taishan Temple. In front of the Taishan Temple, there was a huge flat land, and the fire couldn't burn it at all. After the Song army lit the fire, they withdrew to Taishan Temple.
The method of controlling fire mentioned by Murong Guiying actually has a very simple principle. Hot air can create air flow. Therefore, when a fire breaks out at the foot of a mountain, thick smoke will float up the mountain. However, due to the influence of air flow, the fires will tend to get closer to each other. Without the interference of outside wind, the two fires will be close to each other due to the heat energy of the air. The heat energy on both sides will be offset, and the thick smoke will only rush upward. If Bao Zheng were present, he would definitely be able to pull this off.The theory explained clearly, but at this time Murong Guiying and others used the five elements to explain this phenomenon. If Bao Zheng were here, he would severely criticize this statement as unscientific.
Regardless of whether this statement is scientific or not, Murong Guiying's strategy was extremely successful. As expected, the two fires were quickly approaching each other. The fires devoured all vegetation. After a while, the mountain became a sea of ??fire.
The hints of the Legion under the mountain saw that the fire on the Taishan Temple was soaring, and he had already laughed. They were at the foot of the mountain and did not know that Murong Guiying had lit a fire on the mountain. They thought that the mountain was a sea of ??fire and all the Song troops on the mountain must have been burned to death.
The fire was finally extinguished after half an hour. At this moment, a scene appeared that stunned the Yamashita Legion. I saw the Song army rushing down the mountain at this time. They were all soaked to the skin. They kept shooting arrows down the mountain while charging.
An old officer saw this scene and immediately said in shock: "Why haven't they been burned to death?"
At this time, not only the old officer could not understand, but also Liu Xiansheng and a group of Jindagger-level elders who were stationed here could not understand. There was indeed a medium-sized spring on the mountain, but it was impossible to extinguish the fire. At this time, the Song army rushed down the mountain in large numbers, catching everyone off guard.
Liu Xiansheng shouted: "Fire the arrow!"
??????????????????????????? Suddenly arrows shot out from the mountain, and the color on the mountain was also gone. It was obvious that the mountain had a favorable location, and it was difficult for the arrows at the foot of the mountain to hurt people. However, the arrows shot down from the mountain caused heavy casualties to the Hidden Legion.
Liu Xiansheng saw that his side had suffered heavy losses at this time, but he did not dare to retreat. The order he received was to fight until the last soldier was killed, and he must try his best to hold Yang Wenguang back.
The arrow contest between the two sides is still going on. The people on the mountain dare not rush down, but the people at the foot of the mountain are constantly being injured. Yang Wenguang was a little anxious in the army at this time. Time was equal to the life of His Royal Highness, and he could not survive the stubborn pursuit at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that the arrows of the people at the foot of the mountain were inexhaustible. Two quarters of an hour later, although the arrows at the foot of the mountain did not stop, Yang Wenguang looked at the situation and knew that the people at the foot of the mountain must have reached the end of their strength. After all, they were outnumbered. It was several times smaller than the Song army, and it did not occupy the geographical advantage.
Yang Wenguang pointed his spear at the foot of the mountain and shouted: "The mighty master of the Song Dynasty! Defend the family and the country, and make great contributions! Today! Come to me!"
After Yang Wenguang gave the order, all the Song troops on the mountain shot arrows down the mountain and began to rush down. The ones who rushed at the front must be the sword and shield players.
Seeing an attack from the mountain, the Song army rushed downwards regardless of the arrow rain. The sword and shield hand was less likely to be harmed by the arrows because they were protected by the shield. In an instant, ten thousand sword shield men rushed to the foot of the mountain at the cost of sacrificing three thousand people. Suddenly the arrow rain slowed down, and the foot of the mountain instantly became a purgatory of swords. The shouts and roars shook the sky! The remaining 30,000 people on the mountain rushed down the mountain immediately. The soil had just been burned by fire. If the shoes had not been soaked with water, they would have been unable to withstand it. The people on the mountain were not willing to stay in the hot mountain for a moment.
With the addition of more than 30,000 Song troops, the battle began to be a one-sided massacre. Although the Dark Envoy Legion at the foot of the mountain continued to resist, more than a quarter of an hour later, more than 10,000 people were slaughtered. Even Liu Xiansheng and other golden dagger level masters were not spared.
After Yang Wenguang ended the battle, he gathered his troops and marched south without stopping. He never expected that the enemy army of only 15,000 people would trap his 50,000-strong army for more than half an hour. At this time, they were marching urgently south, and it was estimated that it would still take more than half an hour to reach Juelongpo. A gloomy mood surrounded Yang Wenguang's heart. Arriving at Juelongpo half an hour later, is Prince Zhao Zhen still alive? There were only two thousand of them, and they had to persist for more than an hour. In Yang Wenguang's heart, he felt that this was impossible no matter what.
Although Yang Wenguang was in an extremely depressed mood, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart that maybe a miracle could really happen.
"Isolation formation! Charge for me!" Li Yuanhao's military order sounded, and all the officers scattered again to make arrangements.
After a while, it was hinted that the legion began to organize a new attack. This time, it was a change from the initial rush attack. Instead, it switched to a neat pressure attack method and continued to approach. Suddenly the two armies met and the war began again.
Cui Wei stood on the roof of the carriage, and Bao Zheng was also watching the battle. Suddenly seeing that Bao Zheng seemed to have discovered something, he said: "Fairy Cuiwei, I found that there are three points in the battle where the attacks are the most violent. The enemy is likely to use new tactics."
Cui Wei frowned and said: "Yes, they want to separate our three armies to achieve the purpose of breaking the formation."
Gongsun Ce had retreated to the center at this time, and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Fairy Cuiwei, is there a way to resolve it? If they really let them attackThe troops are separated, and we are afraid that our defensive formation will be broken. "
Cui Wei shook her head helplessly at this time and said: "The time is too short, the formations are too few, and our number is also too small. The disparity in strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great. At this time, we can only resist hard. If we want to master the tactics and formations It is no longer possible to crack it!"
Bao Zheng frowned at this time and looked at the Song army fighting tenaciously down the slope. Bao Zheng seemed to have made a difficult decision and said seriously: "Your Highness, get in the carriage!"
Zhao Zhen listened to Bao Zheng¡¯s words. Although he didn¡¯t understand the reason, he got into the carriage out of trust in Bao Zheng. At this time, Bao Zheng took out a strange-shaped key from his arms, put the key into a small hole in the carriage, and turned it gently, only to hear a creaking sound. The carriage that originally looked normal began to change. Several people from the bandit began to walk in front of the carriage. At this time, many switches were stretched out from the carriage. The people in Koutang methodically added iron plates to the carriage. When each iron plate was installed, it was instantly bitten by the mechanism. A moment later, the carriage was completely wrapped in dozens of iron plates. Zhao Zhen, who was sitting in the car, felt all this. He could still hear the clear shouts of killing outside. However, as the iron plates were continuously added, the sound was finally cut off.
Cui Wei looked at the huge iron box and couldn't help but smile on her face. She said, "Is this the legendary Koutang Iron Wall Car?"
Bao Zheng nodded and said: "With this car here, even if the enemy comes close, they can't even think of hurting the prince, let alone taking him away. Fairy Cuiwei! Now there are Kou Sui on this Juelong Slope. , Xian'er, Fang Qing, Pan Su, and I, Bao Zheng, are going to risk everything today to count one, plus the cooperation of all the Song troops, with you, Xianzi, leading the team, how much hope do you have of catching the young man in the middle of the enemy's army?"
