Chapter 8 Chapter 8: The Commander-in-Chief

Taking advantage of the chaotic situation filled with fireworks, the three of Long Ying caught up with a large number of enemies retreating hastily, mixed with them, and rushed towards the enemy's formation.Their horses were fast, and they had passed many enemy horses in a blink of an eye, but no one realized that they were walking with the enemy. The smoke was still coming in waves from the fire outside the camp, but it gradually became thinner more than two thousand steps away, and the flames of torches could be seen farther away, and the closer they got, the clearer they became. The three of them had sharp eyes, they had seen the enemy's situation clearly, and immediately gasped, feeling that something was wrong.

More than 100 zhang away, the enemy lined up, and what could be seen was a team of 2,000 men, lined up horizontally, blocking the front road, behind them was a high hill, and the high places were full of enemy cavalry. There are also more than a thousand people, and the invisible enemies should be scattered on the commanding heights of the hilly area. The lineup is at its peak, which is chilling to see. Although the enemy lost the first battle and lost hundreds of people, but with this overwhelming force, under deliberate precautions, they changed to attack on foot, and sooner or later they could capture the camp.

Under the light of each other's torches, the three of them had nowhere to hide. The Longying people were anxious and quick-witted, and said via voice transmission: "Horse belly!" The three of them got off their horses and turned to the belly of the horse. The flames shone and cast long shadows behind the horses. In addition, they deliberately mingled with the retreating enemy horses. How could the other party care about it?I thought that after the master fell off his horse, the mount withdrew with the brigade. When the horn sounded, the soldiers and horses in the horizontal row in front were mobilized to give way, so that the retreating knights could go to the rear. If an enemy took the opportunity to kill him, the soldiers waiting in full force could attack them mercilessly, which was in line with the strategy.

The three secretly shouted thank you, and followed the enemy across the vanguard like a tidal wave, and went deep into the enemy's rear.The smoke is still being sent endlessly by the wind, sometimes thick and sometimes thin, and the vision is not clear, otherwise they would have been noticed by the enemy. From the sound of the horn, the Longying trio had already grasped the position of the enemy's coach on a high ground in front left.The enemies around began to rein in their horses and slow down, and they should have reached the designated position for reorganization.Just look at the opponent's retreat without chaos, orderly mobilization, and everything in order, and you will know that the opponent, no matter the general, is an elite army who has a long experience in the battlefield and can conquer battles.

Know ourselves and know each other.Starting from the opponent's razing of Erxiji, every action is a well-thought-out tactic, and the reaction to Shi Langren is even more calculated. If it is not for Longying and others to see through the opponent's conspiracy, Ze Gang and others I am afraid that no one will be able to leave this place.From this, we know that after the coalition of the two powerful tribes of Mengxuan and Yuexi, there must be someone with great talent, ambition and ambition.If this person was Zong Mizhi, he would not only be a powerful magician, but also a super warlord who could strategize and win the battle thousands of miles away.

Knowing that it was time, Long Ying notified the two of them and got on his horse at the same time. When the nearest dozen or so riders cast their gazes at them in amazement, Longying's Reaching the Sky, Wan Renyu's Jing Zhongyue, and Feng Guoting's Rainbow Heavenly Sword all attacked them relentlessly. At the same time, Long Ying exercised enough magic power, sucked his lips and let out a sharp howl six times in a row, shrill like a ghost chirping, and sent it back to the camp from afar. Once they show their signs in the enemy's hinterland, they have stepped into a road of no return, and the only way out is to fight fast and slow, kill as many people as they can, until they kill the opponent's coach, and wait until the moment when the waves of soldiers come to help .

The people around turned their backs on their backs, and the two broke out of the retreating team as if they were in no one's land, rushed up the slope, and killed the enemy on the top of the hill. Because the field of vision was still obscured by the smoke, and the mutation was rapid, how could the enemy's chief figure out what was going on in a short time?The soldiers who went to Gaoqiu were killed by the rushing dragon eagle. Fang knew that the enemy was already in the formation, and thought that a large number of enemies had mixed in. He hurriedly blew the horn and mobilized the army to fight.

If it wasn't late at night, and they weren't blinded by the smoke, even with the power of the three of Longying, they would be seeking their own death, fighting hard and dying.But in today's situation, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the side with fewer people, such as Longying, can greatly benefit the side with fewer people, because they can let go and do it without any scruples. The retreating team killed nearly 30 people at once. Everyone's eyes were red, and they chased up the slope like crazy.The vanguard army on the front line also became agitated. They only knew that there were killing noises in the rear, but they couldn't figure out where the enemy was.

Longying's Tianbang shot with all his strength, dancing like the wind, and Xue'er was within three feet of the prescription, all within the range covered by its power, no matter the opponent's spear stabbing, knife chopping, axe swing, or shield blocking, Tianbang would always It can change the moves that can restrain the opponent, and it can kill the opponent with a single blow. It will give full play to the strengths of Tianbang including the characteristics of various types of weapons. There is no weapon that can cater to the flexibility of the demon species better than the Tianbang, and can even exert the amazing magic power of the Dragon Eagle on the battlefield.

Wan Renyu followed Longying's left back, and switched to left-handed saber technique again. The moon in the well was like flashes of yellow lightning. Delicate and delicate, the enemy's general master, until he cuts his throat, or splits the man and weapon from the horse's back, he still doesn't know how to be dealt with by him. Feng Guoting chased after the dragon eagle on the right side, left shield and right sword, but he saw the green light flying like an eagle in the sky, and like a fish swimming in the deep sea, coming and going without a trace, everywhere the enemy would fall to the ground, the blood flowed from the wound When it splashed out, its sharpness was indescribable, and the area covered by the blue light was terribly cold, making the enemy even more terrified and fearful before fighting.

Longying exerted his supernatural power of caring about the overall situation even though he was in a corner, knowing that the time has come to decide the winner.Zegang's 3,000 wave-shining warriors, after hearing the signal, Yinuo rushed forward like an angry dragon with concentrated forces, and after more than ten breaths, they would attack the enemy's front line.If they still can't create a situation that shakes the opponent's entire army, Ze Gang's 3,000 soldiers are like moths that will kill themselves.Therefore, the current situation is extremely tight. Gaoqiu is a flat ground for nesting, and then there is another higher hill. Under the hill, there are more than a dozen battle lines, with a total number of thousands of people. It is clear that its only mission is to protect the generals on Gaogang, and it is also the personal guard of the enemy commander. The flag was fluttering on the high hill, and there were more than 20 people standing proudly. The commander was one of them, and the trumpeter was issuing his orders to coordinate the advance and retreat of the whole army. The moment he reached the top of the hill, Long Ying had a clear picture of the situation. He knew that under the protection of the enemy commander's personal guard, which was as stable as an iron bucket, he was waiting quietly as if he was facing a big enemy. It was almost impossible to break through. With the momentum, coupled with the pursuit of soldiers from the rear, they are bound to fall into a hard fight, never able to climb the hills, let alone shake the opponent's entire army. So when he climbed to the top of the hill just now, instead of rushing forward, he went to the right to kill, repeating the old trick that day in the Kumtag Desert, picking up the enemy's torches planted in the soil on the top of the hill one by one, and crossing more than 500 people condescendingly. The distance of two paces, throw towards the guard regiment where the enemy commander is at Gaoqiujiao. The highly skilled members of the personal guards used their spears to pick up the torches that were thrown across the sky and were still spinning. Unexpectedly, the torches contained magic power. When the spears picked up the torches, there was a "bang" sound, followed by sparks It splashed in all directions, showering head on face, people knew that the flames would not cause harm, but the horses were frightened and hopped away. Longying fought all the way from one side of the hilltop to the other side, without any worries, he killed the opponent's blood within ten steps, and even stirred up more than ten torches, making it impossible for the enemy's personal guards to remain as stable as a mountain Jun Yue's formation. The most wonderful thing is that Xue'er showed the power of the evil emperor in the horse, her eyes are like lightning, and she is as agile as a god. The attack power is greatly reduced.What's more terrible is that Xue'er kept kicking her hooves, or jostling the opponent's horse with her horse's body, which made the already chaotic enemies even more chaotic. Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting's Aiqi and Xue'er are used to running around, and the tacit understanding is not inferior to the three of them, without instructions, they naturally follow Xue'er, the "leader", rushing left and right, and the cooperation is flawless, as if it was natural. Three people and three horses, a composite formation, the rear of the horse is like a smashed honeycomb, and the evil bee madly chases and stings people. Knights, at the foot of Qiuqiu on the lower left, there is a mess of enemy guards, and the weeds are burning where the torches fell, and more than a dozen fires burst out. the enemy within. Longying rushed obliquely, broke through the encirclement, and ran down the hillside. Not only did they grasp the initiative, their horses were fast and fast, and all those who intercepted them threw blood and threw them down, and no one could delay for a moment. When Longying ran down the hillside, he did something that even the two brothers didn't quite understand. He threw the Jietian Bang into the sky ahead, and the landing point was an open space about three zhang in front of the bodyguard regiment. Everyone's eyes were involuntarily attracted, and they raised their heads to see the strange and terrifying weapons that were still spinning high in the sky, including the opponent's commander and general. At the same time, Longying took out a folding bow from his outer robe, and held four arrows from the quiver in the other hand, taking advantage of the opportunity that the enemy was distracted by the sky bombing, he shot four arrows in succession. The first one to suffer was the horn player. He was planning to blow the horn according to the actions of the enemy commander because the dragon eagle and others changed direction to attack them. The sound of the horn turned into a death cry that spread throughout the battlefield, and it stopped abruptly. Its shocking power was even more powerful than that of thousands of troops and horses. The second arrow hit the tallest flag behind the enemy commander. The commander's flag was broken by the arrow, and he collapsed on his side. The last two arrows hit the two personal guards who held up the torches to illuminate the commander. The torches fell to the ground with them, and immediately ignited the nearby weeds that were stained with fire oil. Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting finally understood Longying's plot, and exclaimed while pulling away the guns and spears thrown from behind.With its amazing archery skills, Long Ying suddenly created the illusion that the opponent's coach was directly attacked. Those who could witness the real situation were limited to two or three thousand people in the hinterland. The rest were not blocked by hills and mountains. It was because he couldn't see clearly from too far away, and because the coach suddenly lost his horn player, his ability to command was paralyzed for a while, like a powerful giant who suddenly became blind without eyes. You can't do it even if you stare blankly. The chaos in one corner eventually spread to the entire army. The armies on the two wings are where the enemy's heavy troops are located, and they can flexibly support the own troops on the front line, and even surround the intruders. They are the least aware of what is happening in the middle and rear.I thought that the enemy had stormed in and was attacking the commander's personal guards, but they couldn't receive instructions, and they knew that the horn player had been slaughtered, so how could they dare to hesitate?Come to help from both sides. The forward army also split half of its troops to attack the rear, which immediately reduced the frontline troops significantly. Nothing moved, although Longying only held the commander's "one shot", it had successfully shaken the formation layout of the enemy's entire army, and also shaken the enemy's morale. The fire continued to spread and expand, and more than a dozen strands of thick smoke rose, blowing with the wind towards Gaogang where the enemy commander was. Xue'er flew downhill like a gust of wind, and the guards were afraid that Long Ying would attack again, so they had to rush forward to meet it. Then Tianbang fell from the sky and fell into Longying's hands every inch. The enemy commander's personal guard group is worthy of being the elite among the elite. They reorganized their positions and formed a battle formation. The first two rows were shield spearmen, and the last three rows were sword fighters.The most threatening thing is that the two wings started earlier, forming a pincer formation.As long as the spearmen in the center can block the three of them for a while, they will be surrounded until death. Just looking at the hustle and bustle of the enemy in front of him, one can tell that the opponent has enough ability, and it will be difficult for them to show off their prestige like just now. On the other hand, when they just left Chang'an, they were caught in such a bloody battle, and now their stamina has run out. However, after being tempered in the desert and plateau, fighting on the battlefield is as normal as eating and sleeping. Dao, until now there is still some strength left, but it is true that he has lost blood due to unavoidable injuries, and it is difficult to last for a long time. Long Ying knew that it was a mountain, and the outcome depended on this, so he suddenly shouted wildly, and threw the sky bang with all his strength. Then it whirls like a windmill, and it's hard to tell which end it is. It turns into a ball of light and shadow, and it turns flat and spins towards the enemy attacking directly in front. Being shrouded, the air seems to be torn apart, the eyes of the enemy are like needles, the eardrums are thundering, and the skin is like a knife cut, no matter how difficult it is to make normal judgments and appropriate reactions.Coupled with the sky full of fire shards, the situation is like a nether world. Wherever the light and shadow of the sky exploded, men and horses fell to the ground splashed with blood. When the two people in the last row were shot down at the same time, the originally imposing enemies were already in formation, and they gave way to an unimpeded way. Xue'er speeded up knowingly, Long Ying pulled out the black knife, swept left and right, the two enemies were thrown to both sides by him, each overwhelmed their own cavalry, and the guard group was even more defeated. Half of the personal guards stayed behind at Qiujiao, thinking that the people coming up could stop Longying and waited for a while, but he couldn't see it clearly, and suddenly the indirect sky bombardment swirled towards them, startled and counted people in succession After being killed, he fell into the left-behind guard formation. The three of Long Ying came out of the siege, and while the last line of defense was in chaos, they broke into the enemy's formation like lightning. Longying turned sideways and picked up Tianbang who had completed the mission from the ground, swung it in a circle, and cleaned up the two enemies who rushed up. Jietianbang turned into light and shadow in the sky, followed Xue'er's pace and rushed straight. The pressure was gone, and it turned out that the last line of defense of the pro-guard regiment had been broken. There was a long and steep slope ahead, the enemy commander was at a height of thirty feet, and the other enemies were all behind.At this moment, the rear shouted to kill the open sky, and quickly approached. Obviously, Shi Lang's reinforcements had broken through the opponent's forward position and came straight here. All of a sudden there were figures of people above, and the commander and generals moved across to the right. It turned out that the guards came up from the other side to protect the commander, and nearly 200 people rushed down the slope condescendingly, with great momentum.If the two sides join forces, they will be caught in a bloody battle, and they will die before the reinforcements arrive. Longying was not surprised but delighted. What he fears most is that the enemy commander retreats and leads the army to counterattack after reaching a safe position. Now he is trying to deal with them before they reach the top of the post, so as to give them a chance. He put Jietianbang on his lap, shouted "Houhou", and used the most swift way to sacrifice the folding bow, opened it, took the arrow, wound it, and shot it continuously. He didn't shoot directly at the enemy who was running down like a wolf, but bent up and down. The target was the enemy in the last row. Many people were shot in the face while he was breathing. The helmet couldn't stop it at all. Falling down, tumbling down, its effect is no different from that of a wood, immediately tripping the horses in front of them, forming a larger and downward chain effect, the momentum of the new force is not only difficult to intercept, but also Unable to help themselves. Longying changed direction and slanted, leading Wan and Feng to gallop away, letting the hundred-odd horses, like a snowball that was getting bigger and bigger, rolling down from the rear like a tree with dust and grass clippings all over the sky. The enemy cavalry chased by Qiujiao Manpo. The screams and horses neighed endlessly, coupled with the increasingly intense fireworks, rolling in waves, the situation was so dire that people couldn't bear to watch. The two happened to avoid the enemy who was rolling downhill, and the pressure was greatly relieved immediately. Due to the chaotic situation, the enemy couldn't grasp their position for a while, and let them go straight to the high hill. More than a dozen successful interceptors were knocked down by their chopping melons and vegetables, and suddenly their mounts had flattened the ground and reached the top of the post. There were many fires on the hill, with flames flickering and a large amount of black smoke coming out, and a row of bushes on the hill was burning with a "crackling" sound. The enemy general, surrounded by more than a hundred personal guards, was fleeing towards the other side of the hillside, apparently intending to join up with the right-wing army. Hundreds of rear guard troops were still catching up from behind like ants, and seeing the three of Longying appearing, they chased after them like crazy. Long Ying shouted wildly: "You go!" He turned his horse's head and killed the chasing enemy. Wan Renyu and Feng Guoting knew that success or failure depended on this moment, so they brushed past him and chased after him.
