Legend of Ling Tian

Part Four, Chapter Thirty-Fifth, The Beginning of the Battle

\u003c; Today's first update! \u003e

The inevitable northern battle has finally begun, and the bloody battle is in full swing!

As the soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty rushed up like wolves, all the archers in the Chengtian army reacted almost at the same time!

The 70,000 troops led by Ling Xiao this time are veritable junior soldiers, and they are also the strongest elite of Chengtian. The quality of soldiers is at least among the top three in the whole sky, as far as the performance of the archers is concerned, it can be seen One spot!

The archers quickly formed three vertical lines. The archers in the first row knelt on one knee and shot from a low angle. The archers in the next row were straight and had long bows with flat ends and shot normally. The archers in the last row raised their arrows high. , shooting down the enemy at high altitude with a parabolic trajectory, the three verticals are well-organized, each performs its duties, and there is no chaos at all.

"Whoosh whoosh..."

Locust-like arrows immediately filled most of the entire battlefield, shooting out in all directions at the same time! The light on the entire battlefield was actually dimmed!

There were chaotic screams, and countless soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty fell from their horses with arrows, and then they were trampled into a mass of flesh by the torrent of battle from behind! But the follow-up soldiers still rushed forward with desperate Pegasus! This round of offensive was actually all cavalry offensive! Judging from this posture, it is intended to rush into the formation of Ling Xiao's army in one fell swoop, forcing them to fight on their own, which is beneficial to destroy!

There were only a few waves of arrow rain. The Northern Wei cavalry were wounded or killed, no less than a thousand of them. Although the horses were fast, the arrow rain was undoubtedly denser and fiercer.

Wei Chengping saw that nearly half of the elite cavalry he had painstakingly trained had lost nearly half of it in less than a cup of tea. Heartache?"

Wei Chengping didn't seem to dare to offend the young man, and said in a harmonious voice: "Brother Shui, our army's strength is far superior to that of Ling Xiao's, why waste the cavalry's strength like this, the loss is too great!"

The young man surnamed Shui sneered coldly: "The so-called those who achieve great things don't care about trivial matters. The benevolence of the women on the battlefield, although the army led by Ling Xiao is 70,000, but it is one of the few elite soldiers in the world. If you can't do it all If the battle is resolved quickly, it will inevitably fall into a stalemate. Over time, variables will arise by themselves, and more dreams will be bad. Moreover, the Ling army is marching in a hurry this time, and they must carry less heavy equipment. As long as there are a few more casualties , it is bound to be a hand-to-hand combat, at that time, what can Ling Junfu do!"

Although Wei Chengping felt distressed, he felt that what the young man surnamed Shui said was indeed reasonable, so he had to be ruthless and watch the battle intently!

As the young man surnamed Shui had expected, after the cavalrymen of the Northern Wei Dynasty paid more than 500 casualties, the distance between the two sides was finally only one arrow. Under the reflection of the rising sun, one can clearly see that every face looks extremely hideous and terrifying!

Ling Xiao was not in a hurry, and the red flag in his hand slashed down fiercely! Immediately, countless thick wooden stakes were thrown from Chengtian's army formation! They all landed seven or eight feet away from the Chengtian army formation! Densely covered the ground! Long and short, thick and thin, horizontal and vertical.

Only this space of seven or eight feet has formed the dividing line between life and death!

The cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty rushed forward like a whirlwind. Just now they were suppressed by the rain of arrows, but they were helpless. Now they are close at hand, waiting to be returned. There was no time to react, so he bumped into it!

Many cavalrymen stumbled instantly, and their horses fell down one after another. The cavalrymen on horseback were caught off guard and had no room to respond. One by one, they fell headfirst! The cavalry at the back were also galloping at high speed. When they were in a hurry to stop, they collided with the ones in front of them. They turned their backs on their backs for a while, and they might not die if they fell off their horses, but the cavalry behind came one after another. Still alive, as soon as the person fell, within a few breaths, he was trampled into flesh by the horse, the scene was horrible!

The archers in the Chengtian Army stood up, arrows rained down, and mercilessly massacred the defenseless enemies in front of them! From all directions, screams rang out!

In the army of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the horn to retreat finally sounded. Wei Chengping finally couldn't bear the loss of his elite cavalry, and forcibly issued an order to retreat! The young man surnamed Shui's face sank like water, but he didn't say a word!

The Northern Wei cavalry who stayed behind finally reined in their horses. Before the Chengtian army formed, the space less than ten feet away was already a hellish scene! Many soldiers of the Northern Wei Dynasty who were hit by arrows but couldn't die immediately were still rolling on the ground in pain, howling terribly. On the dry ground, blood flowed into small streams, and the dead horses piled up like hills. Standing up, together with the corpses of soldiers from the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was as if a natural barrier had been deliberately formed between Chengtian and the two armies of the Northern Wei Dynasty!

In this attack, the elite cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty had more than 6,000 casualties! In the direction of Chengtian, only a few hundred people were slightly injured, let alone dozens of people were killed. It can be regarded as a big victory for Ling Xiao, and he will take the lead first!

"Commander!" A general looked at the battle ahead expressionlessly, but said to Ling Xiao beside him, "Although the first contact was successful, we were outnumbered, and the arriving army was more than five times stronger than mine. Encirclement, the situation is too dangerous, we need to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible!"

"Not busy." Ling Xiao watched the Northern Wei soldiers retreat like a tide, shook his head and said: "This is only the first wave of Northern Wei's attack, and it is not yet clear how their forces will be distributed. Let's wait. Dayuan, it is very unusual for the Northern Wei Dynasty to dispatch cavalry to kick the battalion as soon as they came up, knowing that our army is ready for battle."

That partial general is called Kong Dayuan, who has followed Ling Xiao for more than ten years. He is both wise and brave, and he is Ling Xiao's right-hand man. He also frowned, and said, "Yes, this matter is unsolvable. The best way to pay more to our army in the current battle formation is not to push the infantry forward slowly, and the archers and spear-throwers to attack intensively first. Shi Jiyuan Attacking from a distance, our army was instigated by the three dog thieves and the supervising army this time. The whole army is equipped with urgent marching equipment. The soldiers are short of heavy supplies, and the arrows carried by the soldiers are quite limited. Continuous encirclement and assault with infantry from all sides, and finally dispatched elite cavalry, waiting for work with leisure, will surely defeat our army in one fell swoop with a thunderous force. This is the right way. This is the most basic military common sense, but the opponent did not take it. Instead, they adopted the stupid The cavalry charge! It is puzzling, and the subordinates believe that there are two possibilities for the commander who can make such a decision."

Ling Xiao asked, "Which two possibilities?"

Kong Dayuan said: "The first possibility is that the current commander of the Northern Wei Dynasty is not good at commanding troops, and he thinks that he has the chance to win, so he violated the taboo of military strategists! The elite cavalry suffered heavy losses."

"That's impossible!" A general next to him retorted: "How can the commander of a 400,000-strong army not be good at commanding troops? If he really isn't good at commanding troops, how could he set up such a well-planned ambush trap? This move must have another purpose!"

Kong Dayuan nodded, and said: "However, the second possibility is that our reinforcements may have rushed over on the way, and the opponent is eager for a quick battle, so there is a mistake!"

A middle-aged general approached him, and it was the general who won the quarrel with Ling Ershi. His name was Li Xiangdong, and he said, "It's unlikely, since both of them are determined to kill us." How could Chengtian send us more reinforcements? What's more, the general's direct line troops have already come out in full force this time, so what backup is there?! Even if someone gets information to help, they will definitely be sent by those three bastards. Wan Dajun blocked it, in my opinion, it must be that these bastards from the Northern Wei Dynasty had other schemes."

Everyone nodded together. Ling Nineteen's identity is Ling Xiao's personal bodyguard, and it was not his turn to speak in this situation, but under the urgent situation, he didn't care too much, and said loudly: "Who said we don't have reinforcements? My son's reinforcements We'll be there soon! In the eyes of the young master, these bastards from the Northern Wei Dynasty are nothing more than a bunch of chickens and dogs!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was relatively speechless. These people stayed on the battlefield for the past few months, except for the news related to the war, the other news was almost completely blocked. How did they know that the rise of Ling Tian was so powerful that it shocked the world! The impression in my heart is still that useless playboy, at best a playboy with good skills.

Unexpectedly, Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, I believe Tian'er will definitely lead the army. Therefore, before he arrives, we must find a stable place to defend, try our best to delay the time, and persist Until the arrival of reinforcements! What we lack now is time, the longer the time is delayed, the more favorable the situation will be!"

The generals had already made up their minds about Ling Tian. Although Ling Xiao had confirmed it, they were unavoidably skeptical, but they agreed in unison!

Kong Dayuan said: "I believe that when the enemy attacks again, they should reveal their true attack intentions. It is the worst way to encircle and annihilate our army directly. Even though the Northern Wei army is many times stronger than our army , but the strength of the elite is far inferior. If we want to wipe out our entire army, at least half of the Northern Wei's military strength will be lost. I believe that such a huge consumption, the people in charge of the Northern Wei Dynasty must not be willing to bear it, and may not be able to bear it. Therefore, the last general It is inferred that the Northern Wei Dynasty will inevitably adopt the tactic of encircling three lines and one, opening a gap, allowing our army to escape, disintegrating our army's morale, and chasing after them is the right way."

"And there must be another ambush on the left road!" Li Xiangdong said: "As long as the generals who have been on the battlefield a few times don't know?"

Kong Dayuan smiled slightly, and said: "People's will to survive is so strange. Knowing that there are traps where there seems to be a way of life, but they will also covet the momentary life and step into it. If we do the opposite, maybe it is the real life. , if we break out from the opposite direction, that is, the side where the enemy's military strength is strongest, and fight desperately, if we can get out of the tight encirclement, that is the real way to survive! That is to say, if the gap they left is to the north, we will go south Break through! If they leave the east side, we will break out to the west." He smiled smugly, and said: "In this way, we will definitely be able to catch people by surprise, and the risk will be reduced a lot! Although we break out in the opposite direction, the front Yes, it must be the strongest side of the enemy army, but the enemy adopts the tactic of encircling three lines and one, and at the beginning of the battle, they will inevitably refuse to fight desperately. Adding a desperate effort, I believe that the variables of vitality will increase greatly!"
