Chapter 43, melee
The moon is like water, sprinkled on the earth.
Under the moonlight, Long Huaijian stood in front of the battle with guns in his hands and quietly looked at the Black Wind Army approaching like a landslide and tsunami, but did not move at all.
The strong horse is running, the hooves are like thunder, the long guns are like a forest, and the cold light is shining. The black wind steals extremely quickly, and the distance between the two sides approaches quickly. When there were only 50 feet left from the troops in Guhu Town, the two sides seemed to have made an appointment for a long time. A rain of arrows suddenly shot from their respective troops and covered them up at the other side. However, in addition to the arrow rain shot by Long Huaijian and others in Guhu Town, a more encrypted arrow rain was also shot above the top of the city.
The dense rain of arrows almost covered the sky and the moon. Looking up, it seemed that the dark clouds in the sky were suddenly stirred by the tornado and gathered in the sky, and even the moonlight in the sky was blocked.
Where the arrow rain flew by, although every horse was holding a shield and a blade, people still kept falling off the horse, but the ancient tiger army shot up and down, so the Black Wind Army fell off the horse a little more than the ancient tiger town.
The new army equipment of the Black Wind Legion is indeed the elite. When the armor reflects the moonlight, it flashes with light spots like fish scales. When sharp arrows shoot on some such as heart mirrors or helmets, it can't be shot in. The weapons are all brushed long guns hanging next to the saddle. At this time, they are all strong bows for each person. The powerful arrows pour down to the side of Guhu Town without capital. The horses sitting down are all fat and tall plain horses, rushing together, as fast as thunder. From the distance of hundreds of feet when they first appeared, they have crossed almost in the blink of an eye.
In contrast, the army in Guhu Town is 108,000 miles away from this Black Wind Army. Since this army in Guhu Town is a combination of major merchants, although the equipment is not messy, it is not neat and uniform. Among the weapons, there are long guns, big knives, big axes, armor with silver, brass, ancient vines, and even those wearing cloth like dragon Huaijian. Only the head wears a helmet. There are mountain horses, plain horses, and there is also a kind of snowfield horse with long and short feet. Some of these horses are even caravans. Horses that often consign goods.
In order to prevent the bow and arrows at the head of the ancient tiger army from reaching its own, the Black Wind Army was desperately beating the horse's buttocks and raised the horse speed to the limit. As long as the two sides fought together, the bows and arrows at the head of the ancient tiger town could not cooperate with them.
The two sides approached quickly, 50 feet, 40 feet, 30 feet. When the distance between the two sides was only 20 feet, Long Huaijian and others put away their bows, holding a shield in one hand and a gun in the other. They shouted loudly, and also rushed to the Black Wind Legion one after another, and their hooves stepped on like thunder on the flat ground.
Long Fei stood on the head of the city. Under the moonlight, it could be seen that the two armies charged forward at the fastest speed and collided fiercely in an instant, as if the two torrents collided, and the weapons and bodies that flew due to the collision were like the waves splashed when the torrent collided, rising one after another.
Because it is cavalry versus cavalry, since ancient times, the cavalry has been weak in defense. Therefore, Long Huaijian dared not defend against the attack of the Black Wind Army, so he formed the army of Guhu Town into a sharp cone-like formation. Long Huaijian is at the forefront of the formation. Behind him is the owner of two big merchants in Guhu Town, martial arts The spiritual realm is also two fierce characters. The third row is the elites of other families. They all hold spears and shields in one hand, and control the horse with only their legs. Like an arrow of a sharp arrow, they stabbed fiercely towards the whirlwind of the Black Wind Legion.
The cavalry attack is the sharpest with this nail-shaped formation. The Black Wind Legion team also survived from the battlefield. For the use of cavalry, it will only be above the guard and will never lose to the guard. As early as the charge, the team became conical.
The Black Wind Army collided with the guard, as if the tip of the needle was facing Mai Mang, and the comet hit the earth. Where the arrows of the two armies were facing, both sides suddenly turned upside down, like a hot long knife, put in the milk and quickly cut an opening.
Both sides are wedge-shaped formations, both of which are quick to enter. While the ancient tiger army was chiseling through the Black Wind Army, the Black Wind Army was also chiseling through the Ancient Tiger Army. The two sides seemed to be sharp arrows that collided with each other but staggered. At the moment when a spark splashed, it had passed by and quickly inserted into the other party's formation.
However, the number of the Black Wind Army is twice as many as that of the Ancient Tiger Army. When the arrows of the Black Wind Army penetrated behind the Ancient Tiger Army, the Ancient Tiger Army only reached the middle of the Black Wind Army, as if it had cut into the knife of Milk Luo. When Milk Luo became cold, it was stuck to the milk Luo, and it instantly felt difficult. Get up.
Only this charge, both sides were seriously killed and injured. The Black Wind Army was more than 400 less, but the ancient tiger army was 500 less. Because the ancient tiger army is not good at such wars, it usually has little training. Under this collision, the advantages and disadvantages are revealed. Although the ancient tiger army can't be said to be almost like ceramics, it is broken, but it is also frequently dropped. Some people rely on their flexibility to escape the fate of being knocked down. Long Huaijian's satisfactory calculation is to penetrate the Black Wind Army. It was not until after the back of the Black Wind Army that he led the army to escape. At this time, he tried his best to reach the middle position of the Black Wind Army. It seems that it is difficult to implement this plan.
The Black Wind Legion seems to have already drawn up a battle plan. In order to prevent the city archers of Guhu Town from being majestic, it caused a melee situation. After cutting through the formation of the army of Guhu Town, they immediately turned around and killed them back. However, this time, it was not the tactics as before, but scattered. Open and surround the ancient tiger army. In this way, the Black Wind Legion, which had more than 2,000 guards of the ancient tiger army, quickly surrounded more than 1,000 people of the ancient tiger army. Not only formed a complete melee, but also surrounded the ancient tiger army so that the ancient tiger army could no longer escape. Although the archers in Guhu Town wanted to shoot arrows, they were afraid of hurt their own people at this time. I dare not put it anymore.
After the ancient tiger army was up, the black wind army did not blindly rush into the middle, but took five people as a group to support and cover each other. The group and the group supported each other and covered each other, like a harvester, constantly harvesting the lives of the ancient tiger army.
Standing at the head of the city, the Black Wind Army is like a big grinding disc. A group of the five people is like a small grinding disc, and then several groups of Black Wind Army are like a larger grinding discs, and the ancient tiger army in the middle is the food to be ground into powder. Every time the large and small grinding disc rotates, the food will be worn off a little, and then Rotate again and grind off a little more. If it goes on like this, as long as the grinding disc keeps rotating, the food in the middle will always be polished. At that time, these people in Guhu Town will really be like food that has been ground into powder, and no one can return to the city.
Two thousand people are a big gap with 4,000 people, and the guard army of Guhu Town is only an army composed of various caravans. It usually lacks collective training, lacks experience in cooperation, and experience in large-scale wars. Although the ancient tiger soldiers are brave, Strive for the first, he doesn't hesitate to fight for his life, but he still can't reverse this unfavorable situation. The war is tilting towards the disadvantage of Guhu Town.
At this time, Long Huaijian also felt that his team was too scattered, like a long dragon, a plate of sand, in the middle of the enemy, fighting separately, each fighting against the enemy without even cooperating at all. If it goes on like this, it may not take an hour to be polished by this grinding wheel, and it will be difficult to be defeated at that time. Long Fei was extremely decisive. When he saw the shelter on his side, he immediately took action to improve. First, he raised the handsome flag and gathered the team as hard as possible. Then, he arranged the team into a round head and tail formation. Outside, a soldier held a shield and a knife in one hand, and inside was a long gun and an axe. If When the enemy weapon is stabbed, it is first blocked by a shield, and then the long gun behind the shield will pierce out of the gap. In the future, the enemy soldiers who do not have time to take back the long gun will stab through. If the shield cannot resist, it can also be split with a long knife.
Under the hard arrangement of Long Huaijian, the situation in Guhu Town has improved. If a piece of food was placed in the grinding disc of the Black Wind Army just now, it is now a piece of iron placed in the grinding disc. Every time the grinding disc rotates, the result is that the iron block is not worn off, but several pieces of the grinding disc are broken by the iron block.
The Black Wind Army did not seem to have an effective way to break through the defensive formation of the ancient tiger army for a while. The war gradually became a state of hanging. The two sides attacked and defended each other and damaged each other, but for the time being, no one can do anything about it. One is many people and the other is hard.
Fortunately, this time he is the leader of Long Huaijian. If anyone in Guhu Town except Gu Long, he can't do as well as he is. Only Long Huaijian, who has been to the battlefield, can find the right way to respond to the enemy on the ever-changing battlefield. Although he can't win at this time, he can be undefeated for the time.
However, whether it is the ancient tiger army in the city or under the city, they all know that this balance is only temporary, but a temporary balance before the main force of the Black Wind Legion appeared. Although they don't know why the main team of the Black Wind Legion's siege did not appear, they also guessed that either retreated too far last night and didn't have time to come for a while, or they were waiting for the best opportunity. After thinking about it, or the latter reason was mostly.
Long Fei grasped the wall tightly, his knuckles turned white, and his fingertips were buckled into the wall. If anyone sees it, they will definitely be shocked. The wall is baked at high temperature and as hard as marble, but Long Fei unconsciously inserted his finger into the wall. Although it is only inserted a little, you can also see the horror after Long Fei enters the innate realm.
Gu Long looked at the battlefield outside the city for a while, and then looked up at the direction in which the main force of the Black Wind Legion retreated during the day. There was still no movement there. The army seemed to have completely retreated. However, Gu Long understood that they had not retreated or even finished walking around. This army was like a wolf staring at its prey, waiting for the best time to appear. When Guhu Town sent troops to save the ancient tiger army outside the city, it was the best time for the Black Wind Army to appear. After thinking for a while, Gu Long suddenly turned to a 40-year-old general in yellow armor and without a helmet and said, "Second brother, gather another 2,000 guards. I'm going out to support Brother Long in person. It's up to you to defend the city." This man is Gu Long's cousin Gu Bao.
"No!" Gu Bao was shocked and hurriedly stopped him: "Big brother is the master of a city. Everything in the city needs you to host. How can you leave easily? It's still your eldest brother guarding the city. I will lead the army to save Brother Long!"
"No!" Gu Long waved his hand and said, "Brother Long is trapped in the enemy's battle for our Guhu Town. How can I shrink in the city because I'm afraid of the Black Wind Legion? Just arrange it as you order."
The ancient leopard was in a hurry and said, "Brother..."
"You don't have to persuade me anymore. I've made up my mind." Gu Long interrupted him without waiting for the ancient leopard to finish speaking.
Gu Bao moved his lips a few times and wanted to persuade him again, but when he saw Gu Long's resolute face, he knew that it was useless to persuade him again. He knew Gu Long's character clearly and never changed what he decided.
"Uncle Gu, wait!" At this time, Gu Bao did not persuade, and others did not persuade. Long Fei, who was most worried about the war situation outside the city, persuaded.
"Does Longfei have anything to say? You're not going to persuade me not to go out, are you?" Gu Long turned his head to look at Long Fei and whispered.
"No, I still want to follow Uncle Gu and go out of the city to kill the enemy. How can I dissuade him!" Long Fei said firmly, "It's just that I don't think it's the best time to go out to rescue now."
"Oh!" Gu Long was a little surprised and looked at Long Fei and said, "So when does Long Fei think is the best time?"
Long Fei looked up and looked at the moonlight hanging in the west. At this time, he gradually fell to the top of the mountain and said, "I heard that the darkest time of the night was the moment before dawn. I think we rushed out better at that time. Darkness can confuse the enemy's audio and make the enemy unable to distinguish between us, even if If the torch is lit, it won't shine far. Even if their main force arrives, they will not dare to rush to kill because it is dark.
Gu Long was shocked, meditated, and then said happily, "Yes, it's good. Long Fei is still thoughtful. If it's true, Gu Bao, gather 2,000 guards to kill Guhu Town with me to save the eldest brother and brothers. As for Long Fei, don't go. If you have any damage, I can't go to Brother Long. Sect."
Long Fei looked at Gu Long and argued, "Uncle Gu, don't worry. My martial arts can protect myself, and no one can hurt me."
The copper head also shouted, "I'm going too. I can also protect myself!"
"I'm going too!" I'm going too!" Gao Kun, Long Huaqiu and others also asked to participate in the war, and even ancient legends loudly asked his father to fight.
Gu Long looked at these newborn calves who are not afraid of tigers, smiled and said, "Although you are confident, I can't let you take risks. You are still waiting for me to save them back in the city!" It's secretly funny in my heart. Long Fei's martial arts in the realm of iron bones also dare to boast that no one can be hurt. In case of injury, I will not face Brother Long.
Long Fei said urgently, "Really, I..."
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, you can watch it at the head of the city! Besides, I'm going to be angry. How can I not listen to the military order!" Gu Long waved his hand, interrupted Long Fei's words, and interrupted Long Fei's words that his martial arts had entered the innate realm.
You should know that a person's martial arts realm can't be seen from the appearance alone, no matter how deep your martial arts are. If you haven't done it, you don't want to know the depth of a person's martial arts. Even if you have ever done it, it's just that those with a high level can see the martial arts of those with low realms, and they can't see clearly for the other party whose realm is higher than themselves. Long Fei's practice of Xu Tiangong almost leaped through the sky and began to practice directly from a way similar to innate. This kind of anti-sky martial arts can almost fill everyone. How can Gu Long see it?
Long Fei bit his lip and thought for a moment, nodded, "Okay! I listened to Uncle Gu's instructions and waited for Uncle Gu's triumphant return in the city! My father handed it to Uncle Gu." He stepped back and saluted Gu Long deeply.
The copper head pulled Long Fei's clothes behind him and said, "Long Fei..."
Long Fei turned his head, looked at the bronze head and said, "It's okay. Uncle Gu has strong martial arts and 2,000 fresh troops. He will definitely save them. Let's wait for Uncle Gu's good information." With that, he gave a winp look at the copper head.
Gu Long laughed, looked up at the moon that had fallen to the top of the mountain at this time, and said, "Okay! OK! The time is just right. Just wait for my good sound!" He walked down the city, jumped on the war horse, waved his hand, and shouted, "Brothers, let's go and bring our brother in." Holding a big axe, he took the lead and galloped towards the city gate.
The two thousand guards grabbed the reins with their left hand, waved their right weapons together, and suddenly shouted. The voice was neat and uniform, straight to the sky, and then the hoof roared here, following the ancient dragon rolling towards the gate like a whirlwind.
