Devil’s Advent - Vol 4 Chapter 40
At this moment, the Chu Army formation is under tremendous pressure from all directions, and the soldiers and horses of the Yan army are looking at the opportunities they have found and are trying to penetrate them;
But when that heavy armored cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the Chu sergeant from the bottom of Xiong Ting Mountain to the lowest level was instantly pulled by him.
Without him, such a terrifying momentum, it is impossible for you to ignore it.
Three thousand heavy armored cavalry, compared with the huge battlefield where the two sides are fighting with hundreds of thousands of troops, it seems that the number is not much, but sometimes, a heart-piercing blow at a certain key position is enough to directly determine the direction of the entire battlefield. .
“The cavalry intercepted, get out!”
Xiong Tingshan, standing on the rail, gave the order immediately.
The most precious thing in Chu is the cavalry. These years…No, to be precise, Chu’s pursuit of cavalry has never stopped;
The so-called Da Chu infantry is the best in the world, that is the most feasible way to adapt to the terrain of Chu to deal with the Shanyue people, but in foreign wars, everyone knows the importance of cavalry;
Otherwise, it was impossible for the Situ family to rely on a Zhennan Pass to hold Chu State from going northward.
Under Xiong Tingshan’s order, two breaches immediately appeared in his army formation, and two Chu State cavalry rushed out quickly, blocking the heavy armored cavalry.
This is a painful decision, because the two great Chu cavalrymen, after they are released, will no longer be able to get the cover of their own army formation, no matter whether they succeed in blocking the terrifying iron cavalry that suddenly appeared in the country of Yan, the two Chu cavalry The national cavalry will not be able to return.
Even if they successfully complete the mission, they will be entangled and strangled by the vast surrounding Yanjun cavalry like hungry wolves.
When it is not a last resort, no one will use cavalry like this, and Xiong Tingshan now has no other choice.
Almost without thinking, one can figure out the consequences of making this heavy cavalry smash into its own army formation. On this large plain, once the army formation is broken open, the Chu army loses the cover of the army formation. Will be reduced to the flesh and blood of Yan and dog scrambling to bite.
The charge of the heavy armored cavalry continues;
The knights look like iron, because their lord is right in front of them!
Those brave beasts and the steeds that can carry heavy armor, they also have a heavy snort, not tired, but the wildness and violence emanating from the front brave, igniting all their emotions, making the blood in their blood seem to be At this time there is a feeling of burning.
The Chu cavalry rushed over from the two wings. In comparison, Zheng Fan’s charge was at the forefront. It was not the one who was under the most pressure, because the appearance of the Chu cavalry was like reaching out with two hands to stop, pinching first. It was the shoulders, not the head, and it was Chu Jun’s tail that swept in front of Zheng Fan.
Pai Yao, who had finally gotten the chance to fight in battle, showed extremely strong qualities at this time, and saw that he was turned sideways, not only did not reduce his speed, but also gave his master a piercing gap.
“puff!”
The tip of the flagpole of the Black Dragon Banner directly flew the Chu Army knight in front of him. The terrible strength, although not breaking his armor, was enough to smash his internal organs.
next moment,
Pai Yao pulled again, and Zheng Fan waved the long flag again, sweeping down the three Chu army knights in succession.
Subsequently,
Zheng Fan lowered his body and avoided a lance;
Pai Yao smashed his body fiercely, and knocked the Chu army knight with his horse directly.
Whether it’s the prince on the top or the Pai Yao on the bottom, there is basically no chance to fight in person in these years, but at this time, the pair played and cooperated very well.
In the end, the prince is the pinnacle master of the Fourth Stage. Compared with Hetian Wujing and Yu Hua, they can only be regarded as mediocre aptitudes, but compared with ordinary people, they are also high-quality wizards among ordinary people;
Not to mention Pai Yao, looking at the whole big swallow, how many more Pai Yao are there?
Not to mention Zheng Fan’s one. The demon kings will use it to do some small experiments in their leisure time. Since it hasn’t been tossed to death, it must have been tossed to be stronger.
After Zheng Fan once again stabbed a Chu army knight, Zheng Fan, who had already completed a round of hedge, subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The heavy-armored cavalry forcefully crushed the battle with a domineering posture. The Chu cavalry was in front of them, almost paperless, rushing up, and being crushed to the foot, like a group of young children, trying to stop them. A group of brawny men are completely vulnerable.
This is a matter of course. In the ordinary sense of cavalry’s hedge, life and death are often instantaneous. If you can’t solve the opponent in front of you, then you are likely to be solved in the next instant.
The way to deal with heavy armored cavalry is very simple. Flying kites outside is to consume their physical strength. After success, the heavy armor will become a burden and the situation will be directly reversed;
But the Chu people just didn’t have this time. Even if these Chu army cavalry were flying kites and throwing away at the periphery, the heavy armored cavalry could completely ignore these arrows and directly complete their mission to collide against the Chu army formation.
On the line, Xiong Tingshan looked at all this in disbelief. He knew that it might not be blocked, but he really didn’t expect his cavalry to be so vulnerable.
Individuals, in fact, have their limitations.
For example, let Zheng Fan lead a **** to destroy mountains in the ravines or go to the southwest of the country to fight the natives. After breaking away from the habitual thinking of cavalry to move in depth, Zheng Fan will also be confused and uncomfortable;
The same is true for Xiong Tingshan. There is no one who has commanded a large-scale cavalry corps and summed up the experience and lessons in continuous practice. It is difficult to really get a glimpse of the true meaning of the cavalry in the war mode. At this point, Xiong Tingshan Actually very good, as one of the few elite generals left in the great Chu, he knows how;
But the problem is that the heavy armored cavalry that Liang Cheng has cultivated and trained for several years has gone beyond the scope of traditional cavalry warfare.
Only with these nearly a thousand heads of beasts, if you leave the past, it is that only when the official rank reaches a certain height similar to Xu Wenzu, who was when he was a recruiter, can he be eligible to be assigned a head;
From mounts, to armor, to weapons, to training, to maintenance, and then to how to maintain the ability to quickly mount and rush into battle after going on the battlefield, every detail has to accumulate a lot of war wisdom.
In short, this is not a simple three thousand cavalry with thick armor, but an army of three thousand beasts!
The failure of the Chu cavalry actually slowed down the charge of the Yan army to a certain extent, but the problem was that after witnessing their cavalry being “cut melons and vegetables”, the Chu army was the most The forward pawns, the shock they suffered in their hearts, and the rapid decline in the morale of the army due to this shock were enough to smooth out this little bit of the Yan army’s slowdown, or even exceed it.
In this world, there are actually some things that are more terrifying than death, and many of them.
These Chu sergeants, as the Da Chu imperial forbidden army, are elites, and they are willing to fight to death, but when they see this kind of battle, the physical discomfort is enough to destroy them in a short time. will.
Facing the frontal battle of the cavalry itself is a great pressure.
Facing a heavy armored cavalry charge…
“Shoot!”
The Chu army officer began to order arrows to shoot. From the inconsistency of the arrows shot, it can be seen how bad the Chu army’s current state of mind is.
Facing the arrows,
Zheng Fan squatted down immediately, and the brave under his crotch raised his neck very intimately. It was covered with armor. It was not afraid, even if the armor was penetrated, it didn’t matter. Its skin was thick and thick.
After all, this master of his own, finally brought himself to charge, God knows when next time he has to wait;
After all, there are thousands of little brothers looking at him behind him, how can he pull his hips?
The sound of arrows hitting the armor came from time to time,
There were also arrows that hit Zheng Fan, but they were basically on the periphery of the body and did not touch the vital part;
And when Zheng Fan wore the king’s clothes, the wind blew thousands of troops and horses could not move his clothes. Is it really just because of the king’s pressure?
It was purely because…this king’s suit had hidden mystery, it was very heavy, the decoration on the outside was a kind of needlework, and the inside was woven with mithril silk.
Wearing it is equivalent to a set of soft armor embedded in a king’s suit, and it is extremely tough soft armor, which is several times better than leather armor.
This is not Siniang’s handwriting. When Ji Laoliu made this set of the regent in the palace of life, he took into account the “coward and fear of death” character of the surname Zheng, so he made a very considerate arrangement.
It is also due to the fact that Dayan’s regent is a fourth-rank martial artist, and if he is an ordinary person, once this palace is worn, he can’t walk at all!
distance,
Zoom in,
Zoom in,
coming!
Zheng Fan clamped the flagpole,
Pai Yao let out a roar,
Facing the spear pierced from the front of the Chu army’s shield, it didn’t even hide, and slammed it directly!
“boom!!!”
This smash directly smashed a gap, the shield broke, the shield player was knocked into flight, and even the spear player was overturned.
However, the position of Pai Yao’s hooves encountered a heavy blow, and the Chu people also arranged something on the ground, making Pai Yao’s balance completely missing at this time.
Zheng Fan sensed this situation and immediately threw the black dragon flag in his hand, and then slapped Pai Yao’s back with one palm, and he separated from Pai Yao.
“Om!”
Pai Yao fell down, slid on the ground, and hit a lot of Chu sergeants. Then, it climbed up again quickly. Several arrows and two spears had been inserted on its body, but it still remained. Head high, showing the majesty of the big swallow totem beast.
Zheng Fan, who fell on the ground, pulled out the Wuya around his waist as quickly as possible;
However, the surrounding Chu Zuo had not had time to double-team, and Zheng Fan did not have time to show off his sword technique that he insisted on practicing in the afternoon every day after all these years.
From the rear,
The terrifying sound of impact, directly resounded!
Just like pushing bricks, the front line of the Chu army was crushed by a whole piece of ground. Any Chu sergeant who dared to intercept the front immediately turned into mud, and the frightening propulsion force was breaking the most. The peripheral fronts continued to gain momentum and continued to push forward.
This is the battlefield, but the heavy cavalry is on the battlefield…forcibly push!
Zheng Fan held the knife and stood there. After the heavy armored cavalry rushed over, they consciously bypassed their prince and moved on. There were basically no opponents beside Zheng Fan.
Originally, he was at the front line, but now, the front line is in front of him.
From the perspective of the eagle falcon hovering above, the original rock formation of the Chu army seemed to be crushed all the way by a thick finger, breaking a big hole.
However, after this time, the heavy armored cavalry will have very heavy casualties. Their heavy armor is their greatest protection and also their greatest threat;
Once the horse falls, it is easy to break a fracture, and at the same time, the robe at the back has no time to pull and avoid him, so he can only be trampled on;
And when the momentum is 10%, they are simply unable to turn around. One is that the strength of the knight himself and Pai Yao can hardly support them again in a short period of time, and the other is that it is difficult for them to turn around.
Therefore, there are already many heavy armored knights in front of the Chu army.
A round of rushing,
Nearly half of the casualties!
This is an absolutely terrifying battle loss ratio, but from the perspective of a war commander, it is extremely worthwhile.
Because all the Yanjun from the periphery have followed the breach and began to cut frantically. If you compare the Chu army formation to a turtle shell, now the turtle shell is broken, and the soft flesh inside will become the most delicious. delicious.
The collapse of Chu Jun was unavoidable, and it was already happening.
Zheng Fan held the knife, he didn’t choose to back up at this time, but kept going.
Only soon, Zheng Fan found that his current advancement was futile, not only was the heavy armored cavalry in front of him, but the Yan army cavalry who followed up had also rushed in front of him.
The prince gritted his teeth, he hasn’t killed himself yet, but he could only turn his head reluctantly and walked to where he was, and after maintaining a standing posture to welcome the heavy armored cavalry deep, he finally couldn’t hold his knees and crawled there. .
Zheng Fan looked at it and saw that this guy still had the energy to communicate with his eyes, and he knew that this guy couldn’t die.
He stretched out his hand and began to help him pull out the arrow embedded in his body. The flesh was inserted into the flesh, but it was not deep, and it also knew how to use muscles to clamp the wound to stop the bleeding.
However, just as Zheng Fan was about to pull out the broken spear, a corpse of the Chu army lying on the side suddenly jumped up, rushed to Zheng Fan, and a machete was pulled against Zheng Fan’s neck. come.
Zheng Fan’s figure flashed quickly, the scimitar couldn’t break his throat, but it slashed at his chest.
Zheng Fan held his chest with his left hand, his blood was broken, Wang Fu was torn, and a **** wound appeared on his body.
This is by no means an ordinary soldier. If Chu’s ordinary soldier could have this strength, then Da Chu would have been able to go to heaven long ago.
The assassin didn’t give Zheng Fan a chance to continue to breathe, so he posted it again.
Pai Yao let out a roar and forcibly got up to help.
Wu Ya in Zheng Fan’s hand started to block first. After three consecutive fights, Zheng Fan only felt that his whole body was surging with blood and his throat was sweet, but the assassin could not get close to his body after all.
At this time, Yan Jun had already discovered this situation nearby and was quickly encircling it.
The assassin knew that he didn’t have much time, and after he swung a knife again and was blocked by Zheng Fan, he actually shot three short arrows from his cuff.
However, this blow did not have any unexpected effect;
For Zheng Fan, you can pretend to be dead by pretending to be a soldier, how can you not guard against your hidden weapons?
Wuya waved a knife in advance, sweeping away all hidden weapons;
The assassin’s eyes condensed, and he was about to continue his attack, but at this moment two Yanjun knights rushed forward and slashed with sabers to force the assassin back.
Zheng Fan didn’t continue to be true, and he started to withdraw quickly. It was not because he was afraid, but he needed a few breaths to calm his blood. When he rushed to fight before, he had already consumed a lot of energy. Combining a few moves in a straightforward manner, aggravated the restlessness of his own vitality and blood.
“Lord.”
Ah Ming’s voice appeared behind Zheng Fan.
“You are late.” Zheng Fan smiled.
“No.”
Zheng Fan turned his head and found that Ah Ming was completely shot into his chest by a black long arrow. White smoke was emitting from the place where the arrow was bleeding, and his head was obviously poisoned.
A Ming’s gaze, looking to the west, there was a sergeant Chu staring at this place very angrily. His shot failed unexpectedly.
However, his regret did not last long, and his head was immediately cut off by a Yanjun knight who followed up.
At this time, a group of Yanjun knights began to consciously protect Zheng Fan, surrounded and protected.
A Ming pulled the arrow out of his body silently;
“It’s really. I haven’t been shot for a long time. I’m not used to it.”
“How about poison?”
A Ming shook his head and said, “Master, don’t worry, it’s not a big problem for me, but it may take longer to recover.”
“I’m self-willed.” Zheng Fan said.
Ah Ming smiled and said, “Even if the subordinate is not there, the subordinate does not think that the master will die under this arrow. We have always teased the master that you are not dead on the battlefield. Secret arrows are hard to guard, but the problem is, over the years, haven’t we all helped the Lord to block you.
This is what we should do, and Lord, it shouldn’t be dead. ”
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand, patted Ah Ming on the shoulder, and said:
“It’s a pity, I haven’t reached the third rank.”
“It’s not flattering or anything, but seeing the Lord rushing forward before, the subordinates are quite touched.
Lord,
Go ahead, your subordinates can block a few more arrows for you, so you can enjoy yourself. ”
“it is good.”
Zheng Fan stretched out his hand, and a Yanjun knight dismounted and gave the mount to the prince. Zheng Fan turned on his horse, holding a knife, and greeted the surrounding knights:
“If the order is passed on, the whole army will chase this king across the Weihe River in one breath!
Where did Chu Jun fled,
we,
Just chase it! ”
“Here!”
In the distance, the Chu army began to collapse, and the Yan army continued to advance, striving to smash all the Chu army’s organizational structure as quickly as possible.
A similar scene is happening in many battlefields.
There are Yan army chasing prey everywhere, Chu army running southward;
A few days ago, the elites of the great Chu who were still advancing with leaps and bounds have now completely degenerated into a broken soldier;
A hundred years ago, the first generation of Zhenbeihou broke through the 500,000 troops of the Northern Expedition;
Today, the regent Dayan broke through the 500,000 Northern Expedition to the Chu Army;
Although the fighting on the battlefield is still going on, and the war has not been completely over, but looking at the situation right now, you can already say that sentence with confidence:
Chu Kingdom has already been **** to the ground in this battle!
…
Xiong Tingshan is holding a long knife, and there are more than two hundred guards beside him, but in the periphery, there are thousands of swallow army knights surrounded him.
On the ground all around, lay the corpses of many soldiers from both sides.
Xiong Tingshan panted, and the tiger stared around;
At this time,
A group of brocade cavalry appeared and joined the encirclement. Their clothes were so obvious in the generally black style of the Yan army.
A figure wearing a king’s clothes also appeared in the group of brocade clothes.
The prince raised his hand,
The Yanjun knights who had used bows and arrows all around lowered their bows and arrows;
Xiong Tingshan shouted:
“Zheng Fan, your royal uniform and the dragon robe of your Emperor Yan are not bad, right!
I don’t understand,
Why don’t you want to be that emperor! ”
Zheng Fan sat on horseback, looking at Xiong Tingshan in the distance,
Road:
“Have you not rebelled against Xiong Tingshan and became Emperor of Chu?”
Xiong Tingshan laughed and said:
“I couldn’t play with my fourth brother, so I gave up and lowered my head. As for you, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, I admit that he can be regarded as the master, but you may not be able to play with him, no, how can you not be able to play with him!”
It can be heard that in this battle, Xiong Tingshan was defeated. At this time, the regent in his eyes was no different from the Jingnan king in Nian Yao’s eyes.
Zheng Fan replied:
“Because it is so easy for him to play, he is too lazy to play.”
“Hahahahaha…”
“What about you, why don’t you run away?” Zheng Fan asked.
After the Chinese army was defeated, Xiong Tingshan could lead the elite around him to flee southward, and in this messy situation, it was difficult for the Yan army to mobilize enough troops to just stare at him and chase him alone;
Unless it is particularly unlucky, under the premise of so many defeats as cover, Xiong Tingshan’s chances of escape are still great.
“Zheng Fan, the regent, hehe, you should know why we are all desperate this time.
Rather than being cut with a soft knife by you and the country of Yan behind you, it is better to take advantage of the power of a fight and to fight for a possibility, and it is impossible to come back.
Now, the bet is lost;
What are you going to do?
If you really want to continue to linger, why does Lao Tzu come here?
Zheng Fan,
If you were in that carriage back then and you were violent, don’t use Mr. Su as a pretence, just say that you are Zheng Fan, my fourth brother, I am afraid that you will really betroth the girl to you.
You can be a king in my great Chu.
Tell me, is this possible?
Isn’t it the case of my great Chu’s national fortune? ”
In fact, in recent years, the Emperor Chu has never stopped wooing Zheng Fan. From the earliest hope that he could help Zheng Fan establish the country in East Jin, to later, he even stated in the letter that he waited for Zheng Fan and Xiong Liqing to have another son. Later, he was willing to make this nephew the promise of the prince of Da Chu.
But Zheng Fan has never been tempted by this.
For example, right now,
His answer to Xiong Tingshan was also extremely simple:
“It’s not possible.”
“Why? I’m Da Chu, how can I compare Yan Guo?”
Zheng Fan smiled:
“because,
I just think,
This big yan,
Just deserve to unify these summers. ”
“It makes no sense?”
“It makes no sense.”
Xiong Tingshan took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
Shouted again:
“Look,
After this war, I Da Chu, can I still pose a threat to your Yan Country?
and so,
The scene under Yupan City,
Don’t do it again;
They are all good boys, and I am incompetent for failing to lead them to victory.
No matter how you rush to kill, it is nothing more than to make Chu people hate Yan people even more. It’s time to be gentle. ”
Zheng Fan said:
“When did you Xiong Tingshan feel that you are qualified to teach me how to do things?”
“I don’t have this qualification, the defeated general, where is there any **** qualification, I am sorry for my sons, who are also raised by parents.
Now that the general situation is over, and the struggle is hopeless, I have to ask for a living for them. ”
“What do you ask for?”
“I won’t leave, just stay here and wait for you;
So I can put my head in your hand, and let you hold my head to let them put down and resist surrender.
You magnificent regent,
Is it possible that you still need the blood of this person to build your reputation? ”
Zheng Fan didn’t speak.
Xiong Tingshan held a knife in one hand, clamped it to his neck, and ordered:
“Both, put down the weapons, and dropped!”
No one moved around.
“My king, he’s not dead yet!”
The guards put down their weapons one after another and knelt down towards Xiong Tingshan.
Xiong Tingshan looked at Zheng Fan.
Shouted:
“Catch my head,
Lord Ma! ”
“puff!”
Xiong Tingshan cut off his head from his neck with his blood sword.
His head rolled to the ground,
The headless stump fell backward.
With tears in his tears, a guard head picked up Xiong Tingshan’s head and walked slowly towards the direction where Zheng Fan was.
The head guard did not get too close,
Instead, he held the head of Xiong Tingshan and knelt down on one knee:
“Please take the first class!”
Liu Dahu looked at Zheng Fan, who nodded slightly;
Liu Dahu got off his horse, walked over, took the head, and walked back.
Subsequently,
The head of the guard got up, walked back, picked up a knife on the ground,
Shouted:
“Master, wait for us!”
The knife edge wiped his neck, blood splattered, and he fell to the ground.
The more than two hundred guards kneeling beside Xiong Tingshan’s remnant body ~www.mtlnovel.com~ all picked up the weapons they had previously dropped;
“The prince, the subordinate is down!”
“Master, wait for your subordinates!”
More than two hundred guards, all committed suicide, none of them survived, and collectively followed Xiong Tingshan.
In this scene, the Yan army knights around, also put away the ridiculous and complacent expression that had previously surrounded the enemy chieftain. No matter when, in the army, they will always respect the **** son Lang. This does not distinguish between the enemy and us.
Zheng Fan’s gaze shifted away from there, and fell on the head of the man held in Liu Dahu’s hand.
a long time,
Ordered:
“Pass this king’s order, know the whole army;
This battle,
One captive is worthy of the first two levels. “
