Chapter 516: Rush Array
Although he did not understand Liang Xiao's intention, Jing Zhao still did not dare to be careless. He signaled the knights to protect Yu Shan and prepare for charge. He ordered the infantry to step forward, raise a spear, raise a shield, and set up a formation to prevent Liang Xiao from using the cavalry's charge ability to forcibly break through. Even he himself took a shield from his personal guards, protecting Yu Shan from Liang Xiao's attack at any time.
Liang Xiao is Huan Yuan's disciple, a famous arrow god, and it is easy to take Yu Shan's life from a hundred steps away.
Under the strict protection, Yu Shan was quite like a general. He remained motionless, staring at Liang Xiao who was getting closer and closer, with a slight slanted corner of his mouth, with three points of disdain, but his eyes twitched involuntarily, revealing a little uneasiness in his heart.
Six years ago, he and Liu Ju sent troops to Kuaiji. As a man, Liang Xiao once led more than ten cavalry to rush left and right outside Kuaiji City, intercepting and killing the Minyue scouts and messengers, which caused tens of thousands of Fujian Yue troops to panic all day long and failed.
This time, Jing Zhao and Zhao Guang confronted Liangshan, and Liang Xiao once again used cavalry to break into Jing Zhao's rear, robbed his baggage, and forced Jing Zhao to retreat. If the 30,000 troops of Fujian and Yue gathered here, it would be only for his five or six hundred people.
For Minyue, the 30,000 army was almost the limit of the mobility that could be mobilized. He abandoned Han Anguo and Wang Hui, and rushed to Zhangpu, which rejected many people's opinions. His reason was that there was the Prince of Nanyue here, and only by grasping the Prince of Nanyue could he control Nanyue. In fact, in his heart, there was only one person worthy of him: Liang Xiao.
Zhao Yingqi is important because of his identity. Without Zhao Yingqi, Zhao Hu has several sons, so it is not difficult to establish another prince. Liang Xiao is because of his huge destructive power. It is difficult for the great man to find a second one.
Just when he was worried about how to capture Liang Xiao and catch him, Liang Xiao came on his own initiative.
What is he here to do? Fight or seek peace?
Yu Shan looked at the guards stacked in front of him and the knights waiting to go around him. He sneered in his heart. Not to mention that Liang Xiao only had 100 or 20 cavalry, even if he had hundreds of cavalry, it would be difficult for him to escape. This is a valley, which is not conducive to the cavalry running. Once he loses his speed and is entangled by infantry, it will be difficult for him to escape.
No matter how good his martial arts are, what can he do? The overlord Xiang Yu is extremely skilled in martial arts and can reach mountains. In the end, he was cut off his head by thousands of Han troops. At that time, there were twenty-eight cavalry beside him.
And he has 30,000 soldiers here. Liang Xiao only has twenty cavalry at most.
So, is he here to seek peace?
Just as Yu Shan guessed Liang Xiao's purpose, Liang Xiao had reached two hundred steps away. He came down from the hillside, and the slope exceeded forty-five degrees. His mount could not gallop, so he could only walk slowly, as if he was facing an abyss. When he reached the ridge, the slope gradually slowed down, and he was about two hundred steps away from Yu Shan. He would enter the range of the archers of the Minyue Army. However, his war horse had not accelerated yet and seemed to be fighting at all.
Yu Shan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had never used cavalry, he had ridden a horse after all. He knew that within these two hundred steps, one or two people might be able to accelerate the horse to a speed that was enough to charge, but together one or twenty people, this was almost impossible to complete.
It seems that Liang Xiao came to seek peace or negotiate, and it was definitely not a fight.
Yu Shan raised a relieved smile on the corner of his mouth. Just as the smile just bloomed, Liang Xiao and others suddenly began to accelerate.
Without roaring loudly, without stern shouting. There was no obvious sign, all the war horses began to accelerate. All the warriors entered a state of combat, and they had a tacit understanding of not more than twenty people. But one person, a giant beast composed of more than twenty people.
The war horse spread its four hooves and ran at full speed. Within a short distance of 100 steps, it changed from slow to trot. The assault knight placed the spear in his hand flattened and prepared for a sprint. The archer pulled out his bow, took the arrow, and pointed the arrow straight ahead.
The war horses continued to accelerate and quickly entered the range of the Minyue Army. Before Jing Zhao could issue a shooting order, they rushed closer to thirty steps.
"Not good!" Jing Zhao was shocked. Although he did not understand Liang Xiao's intention, and although he thought it was very ridiculous, he had confirmed that Liang Xiao was not here to negotiate, he was here to fight. His goal was very clear, that was Yu Shan. He was so scared that he ran away and shouted: "Prime Minister, be careful!"
As if responding to his reminder, Liang Xiao suddenly pulled out his black bow, aimed slightly, and shot four arrows in one breath, aiming directly at Yu Shan.
The string roared the dragon, and the feather arrow seemed to have suddenly become alive. It swung for a moment, twisted suddenly, and broke through the air.
At the same time, Firefox and other shooters also pulled out their bows and arrows and shot continuously.
The war horses galloped, the sound of hooves thundered, and the murderous aura surged, which quickly expanded in the eyes of the infantrymen of the Minyue Army.
In horror, Jing Zhao had no time to think too much, so he stood up from his horse, slanted his body, stretched his arms as much as possible, and covered Yu Shan's face with the shield in his hand. "Bang!" A feather arrow shot on the shield, and the sharp tip of the arrow shot through the shield, nailed it to Jing Zhao's arm.
A huge pain came, and Jing Zhao's arm softened. Without waiting to scream, "Bang!" Then another sound was heard, and the shield was shot again. The powerful force hit Yu Shan's face with the shield. Yu Shan's face turned black, and the stars in front of him were shot everywhere. He felt a sharp pain in his cheek. He was shocked and screamed and turned over and fell off the horse.
Before he was caught, he saw an amazing scene from the edge of the shield. Jing Zhao leaned his body and fell off the horse. Two more feathers appeared on his chest, and the white feathers trembled and buzzed.
"Bang!" Jing Zhao was dismissed.
"Bang!" Yu Shan fell down and hit the ground with his face.
At this time, Liang Xiao and others rushed to Yu Shan and Jing Zhao a hundred steps away, only forty or fifty steps away from the infantry of the Minyue Army. Liang Xiao, Firefox and other six archers pulled their bows and arrows, and instantly shot twenty or thirty arrows, pouring them onto the infantry of the Minyue Army directly opposite. They were all archers one in a hundred steps, and the bows in their hands were stronger than ordinary bows. Even on the back of a Mercedes-Benz horse, the hit rate was much higher than that of ordinary knights.
Before the infantry of the Minyue Army could react, the more than ten soldiers who were in the brunt of the attack were caught and fell to the ground. A gap of three or four people wide suddenly appeared in the originally complete formation.
Alexander and others arrived on horseback and rushed in through the gap. The spear in their hands trembled. Before they could react, the Minyue soldiers, who were wide open and were stunned, were pierced through their bodies by the spear. They screamed sternly.
The sharp screams combined with the sound of horse hooves were like an intense battle song, which officially opened the curtain of killing.
Liang Xiao and others used Alexander as the attack and formed a vanguard formation, breaking through the interception of the soldiers of the Minyue Army in one fell swoop. They entered the formation and rushed into Yu Shan, Jing Zhao, Yu Shan, and Jing Zhao were caught in the arrow. The guards were in chaos. Some jumped off the horse to save people, while others stepped forward, preparing to intercept Liang Xiao and others who were approaching quickly, and there was no way to tell.
The war horse galloped, and it took almost three or five breaths. Before Yu Shan's personal guard could run the horse, Liang Xiao and others had already rushed to them. The attack method was very simple. A string sounded, and more than ten feather arrows broke through the air. Half of the personal guards were caught and several people were dropped. Then, Alexander rode his horse and shook his spear, knocked a sword, and with a "puff", he stabbed into the chest of a guard, lifted him up high, and then threw him away.
To avoid the rise and fall. In the blink of an eye, Liang Xiao and others ran past Yu Shan and Jing Zhao and rushed towards the back formation.
With a charge, the front formation set up by Jing Zhao was broken, the central army was destroyed, and dozens of casualties were injured and dozens of people were killed or killed.
The soldiers of the Minyue Army were completely shocked. They were not ordinary soldiers, but Yu Shan and Jing Zhao's personal guard camp. Yu Shan was the prime minister of Minyue and had a long time ago, and a group of rangers gathered around him as personal guards. Although Jing Zhao was not a famous general, he had been fighting for many years, and his personal guards were all warriors. They have always regarded themselves very highly, but today's scene completely exceeded their imagination. He gave them a blow.
Within just a few breaths, Liang Xiao and others pierced through their formation, almost unblocked into the formation, and gave them a headache. Wherever the horse's hooves passed, blood and corpses were left all the way. Countless people fell in pools of blood, and even people who were pierced through their bodies by spears turned and wailed in pools of blood.
This transformation came too fast, so fast that they had no time to react. Many people watched Liang Xiao and others whistle by in front of them, and the horse's hooves kicked up the soil mixed with grass, leaving a ravaged grassland and slashed deeper.
The soldiers of the Minyue Army had no experience in dealing with the cavalry, and they underestimated the attack speed of the cavalry. When Liang Xiao and others rushed to the rear formation, the soldiers in the rear formation were not mentally prepared at all. The spearmen had no time to lay the spear, the sword and shield hands had no time to pull out the war horse, and the archer held the arrow, but did not have time to put it on the string.
They couldn't even understand how these cavalrymen suddenly appeared in front of them.
Faced with these confused infantrymen of Minyue Army, Liang Xiao and others had no sympathy. The cavalry broke into the formation by relying on speed and the impact of war horses. Now the Dian horse is limited in its physique, insufficient speed, and greatly reduced its impact. Their advantages are not solid. If they are negligent, they may lose their speed and be entangled by the infantrymen.
"Accelerate! Accelerate!" Liang Xiao shot two arrows and shouted loudly.
"Kill!" The knights answered in unison and kicked the horses hard again.
They swept over the rear formation of the Minyue Army like a gust of wind and appeared on the hillside behind the Minyue Army. With the slope, the war horses quickly slowed down, ran a distance along the hillside, turned around, and accelerated again with the slope, and launched another round of charge.
This time, the Minyue Army did not even have the most basic blocking formation. The rear army was caught off guard just now, and the formation was in chaos, and they could not organize effective resistance in an urgent manner. What's more, Liang Xiao and others came from behind them. Even if their formation was complete, they would not have time to turn. Looking at the pool of blood in front of them and listening to the rumbling sound of horse hooves behind them, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers of the Minyue Army quickly amplified as the war horses approached.
I don't know who was the first to be crushed by fear. He put down his weapons and cried and fled from the combat post. The rear of the Fujian Yue Army was like a piece of spring ice. With a seemingly insignificant sound, the whole piece of ice was disintegrated. The soldiers fled in scattered, no longer caring about formation, no longer caring about their responsibilities, and just wanting to escape, even if it was a little farther from the sound of horse hooves behind him.
Seeing this, Liang Xiao and others were overjoyed. There was almost no need for Liang Xiao to say anything. All the knights and shooters adjusted their direction and rushed straight to those opponents who were still trying to counterattack. They deliberately slowed down the speed of the war horses, dispersed the formation, drove away the soldiers of the Minyue Army who were fleeing desperately, amplified their fear and spread the chaos.
With the help of two personal guards, Yu Shan had just gotten up from the ground. His face was shot through by Liang Xiao, and blood was flowing. But he couldn't feel the pain. Seeing Liang Xiao and others rushing their subordinates to clash back and forth, Yu Shan was stunned.
But how did the back formation become like this after falling down right away?
Yu Shan's mind was blank, but the guards did not dare to be careless. Liang Xiao and others approached again, and there were also a large number of defeated soldiers. Once they were trapped in the defeated soldiers, they could not escape. Without saying a word, they helped Yu Shan on their horses, turned around and left.
Jing Zhao's personal guards did not dare to neglect them. They lifted Jing Zhao, who was unconscious, and ran away wildly.
As soon as Yu Shan and Jing Zhao retreated, the Fujian Yue army collapsed completely. No one was willing to fight anymore. They all spread their feet and ran away all over the mountains. Liang Xiao and others relaxed, and the pressure that was not too great disappeared completely. They rode their horses and killed them at will, biting Yu Shan tightly.
Yu Shan was so scared that he lost his soul and could no longer care about his demeanor and ran wildly on horseback.
He had a good horse, but unfortunately his riding skills were not very good. He fell off the horse after running dozens of steps, and fell into a rolling gourd, in a mess. The guards turned over the horse again and helped him up. Yu Shan's face was so painful that he thrust, but he did not dare to stop. With the help of the guards, he limped and ran forward with all his might.
With two legs but not four legs, Liang Xiao quickly caught up with Yu Shan. They rushed past Yu Shan, pierced the behind several guards to the ground, floated away, drifted away, and rushed to Yu Shan's front, and then rode their horses to rush over.
Yu Shan was shocked and quickly turned around and ran away. The guard grabbed him, dragged him, and ran up the hillside.
Liang Xiao turned around and saw Yu Shan climbing up the mountain surrounded by his personal guards, and he couldn't help but laugh. He did not chase Yu Shan anymore. No matter how good the Dian horse was at climbing hills, his speed was not as fast as the flat ground. He turned the horse and ran towards the white horse with an empty saddle.
The knights dispersed, surrounded the white horses from both sides. The white horse stood and looked around, looking a little lonely. Liang Xiao rode his horse to it, rolled over and got off the horse, and reached out to pull the reins of the white horse. The white horse did not resist, lowered its head and sniffed Liang Xiao's hand. Liang Xiao patted the horse's head, turned over the horse, and shook the reins, the white horse shook his mane, as if suddenly he became energetic. The man stood up, his two front hooves stepped in the air, and he was about to ride the wind.
Liang Xiao held the reins in one hand and the bow in the other, stepping on the stirrups, almost standing on the back of the horse. He raised the bow in his hand high and let out a long roar.
The roar was shrill and majestic, with an indescribable murderous aura.
On the hillside, Yu Shan's face turned pale and his eyes were frightened.
