Live Eye, as the most critical eye of the Qibing Bagua Formation, Li Buyi has never sent troops to garrison it. The reason is very simple. If too many troops are left here, there will be no three hundred taels of silver here, which will attract people's attention. He does not want to take advantage of it.
The formation finally turned into a battle for the center of the formation.
He only needs to constantly change the formation, because if the formation keeps changing, the formation eye will be difficult to capture, and it is impossible to realize that the formation eye is here.
But now that an elite group of Xia Kingdom was heading straight for Huoyan, Li Buyi became anxious for the first time. The heavy sound of the Heaven and Earth Vitality Drum spread hundreds of miles away. After listening to the drum sound, the Shang Army quickly
Wherever the eye can see, it gathers together.
When Zhang Yu heard the sound of the drum, a smile appeared on his lips.
It seems that the drummer is in a hurry now.
Ever since the Qibing Bagua Formation was first used on the northern flank of Western Xinjiang, the Xia Army had a nickname for the commander-in-chief of the Shang Army - Drummer.
The most important part of the Qibing Bagua Formation is to rely on the drummer for command.
According to Zhang Yu's inference, the drummer was probably not An Ruyi himself, but probably one of An Ruyi's apprentices. As for which apprentice it was, it was unknown.
No matter what, the reaction of the drummer confirmed Su Le's speculation and made Zhang Yu more convinced of the location of the formation's eye.
The Hubao Battalion marched very fast, thirty miles due north, and only took three sticks of incense. However, Zhang Yu's face changed slightly when he arrived at the formation's eye.
Four merchant camps have actually gathered near the formation. The densely packed merchant soldiers have already set up a defensive position. It is obvious that the merchant army will not make any concessions here.
It’s no wonder that the caravan responded so quickly.
On such a large battlefield, the transmission of information is a big trouble.
After Zhang Yu learned the location of the formation eye, he went straight to the formation eye. At the same time, he dispatched several teams of scouts to notify the various Xia army camps on the battlefield to assemble towards the location of the formation eye. Such a speed of response was not unsatisfactory.
However, no matter how fast he is, he cannot command the Heaven and Earth Yuanqi Drum. The drummer only needs to beat the drum quickly to command a caravan of hundreds of miles in radius. No matter how fast Zhang Yu is, he cannot be faster than the speed of the drum sound.
"Four battalions, fortunately they are just cannon fodder battalions. It seems that there is a tough battle to be fought today!" No matter how many cannon fodder the cannon fodder battalions have, they are still just cannon fodder after all. The difference between them and the regular army is not that big.
But Zhang Yu also knew that the merchant army did not only have cannon fodder battalions. Several elite battalions in the merchant army were also extremely powerful.
Zhang Yu can't care about that much now. He first rushes down the array eye. The place where the array eye is located is a ring-shaped mountain. The height of the mountain is only six or seven meters high, but there is a large open space on the mountain. First, let's move the array down first.
Let’s take advantage of the situation first!
"Kill me!"
The soldiers of the Hubao Battalion rode Mangshan fire-maned horses and lined up in a crescent shape. At Zhang Yu's order, they spread towards the center of the formation like a burning cloud like a burning cloud.
And Zhang Yu jumped up from his mount and took a deep breath. At that moment, Zhang Yu's chest swelled like a ball. Then Zhang Yu suddenly drank, and a red wave surged.
Spreading out from his mouth, the wave just happened to envelope the entire charging Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
Whether it was the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry or the red-maned horses of Mang Mountain, after being enveloped by that red wave, their eyes all turned into crazy blood red, and both their speed and strength suddenly increased by several percent.
.
The Shang Army Battalion only arrived on the hill a short time ahead of the Haw Parr Camp, and now they have only built simple defenses. The number of soldiers in these cannon fodder battalions is five to six times greater than that of the Haw Parr Camp, but when they see the Haw Parr Camp,
With such momentum, many soldiers could not help but tremble.
The horse's hooves shook the earth, like thunder. When Zhang Yu led his soldiers into the hilltop, it was like a stream of clear water, and a piece of flaming iron was put into it, and the entire hilltop began to boil.
The Hubao Battalion soldiers who rushed at the front used their strong inertia to collide with the Shang soldiers at the front. The huge force immediately knocked the cannon fodder blocking the road more than ten meters high. At the same time, there were also many cannon fodders who took advantage of the situation.
The spear pierced into the body of the Hubao Battalion soldier.
Zhang Yu just used the general skill - Blood Fury, and all the soldiers were caught in a strong killing passion. In this state, not only can the speed and strength be increased, but it can also make the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion forget about pain.
His head was filled with bloodthirsty passion.
Twist, dodge, thrust, behead, desperate scream, angry roar, collision of gold and iron...
The number of soldiers in the Cannon Fodder Battalion decreased sharply. The Haw Par Battalion was too fierce. Facing the cannon fodder carrying long guns, they waved their horse-killing swords like cutting vegetables and melons.
Zhang Yu is not idle either. His target is the four camp leaders from the Shang Army. The strength of the camp leaders of these cannon fodder camps is probably between the eighth level of Wu Yu and the tenth level of Wu Yu. With their strength, they are naturally no threat.
Come to Zhang Yu, who is the second level warrior.
However, if these high-level warriors seize the opportunity, they may still cause heavy damage to the Haw Par Battalion.
The soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion are the elite of the elite. It is very simple to replenish a cannon fodder battalion. You only need to recruit soldiers from all over and you can pull up a cannon fodder battalion in a few days. But if you want to cultivate a Haw Par Battalion,
, it takes too long, and this is not just a matter of time. Whether it is the Mangshan Fire Mane Horse, or the specially made armor of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, it cannot be solved in a short time.
Therefore, Zhang Yu needs to minimize casualties while killing the enemy.
But things often develop in a way that no one wants.
The greatest role of cavalry is to rely on their mounts to charge.
Although the terrain above the hill was flat, there were too many people on it. After the Haw Leopard Battalion charged for the first time, it was difficult to get out for the second charge and fell into a real fierce battle.
Although the strength of the cannon fodder is low, during the melee, there are often seven or eight soldiers in exchange for one soldier from the Haw Par Battalion. For a time, the soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion are also rapidly reducing their numbers.
When Su Le arrived with the soldiers from Kaishan Camp, the battle above the formation was in full swing.
"School one, school two, school three, school four, climb up from the west!"
"Six schools, seven schools, eight schools, nine schools, charge from the east!"
"Brothers from the fifth school, follow me from the middle!"
Without resting, Su Le led the mountain battalion to rush up the hill and join the battle group.
Kaishan Camp is also a cannon fodder camp, but the power of the cannon fodder camp in the hands of different people is different.
"Brothers from the fifth school, change your formation and follow me to cut through these trash!" Su Le yelled.
After saying that, Su Le stabbed out the spear and penetrated the chests of the three people. Under the vibration of the spear, the hearts of those people were shattered, and they fell to the ground when they touched a cloud of blood mist.
Su Le reduced the formation to a snake shape and started fighting.
If the soldiers of the Shang Kingdom were on the mountain, trying to form an iron barrel formation to wrap the Tiger and Leopard Battalion so that Zhang Yu's Tiger and Leopard Battalion could not launch a charge, then Su Le's team was like nails.
, helped Zhang Yu carve out gaps, allowing the Hubao Camp to move freely on the mountain.
Su Le's assistance was very effective. The goal of opening the mountain camp was to drill passages through the mountains full of human walls. Once those passages were opened, the advantages of the Haw Par Camp would be reflected again.
When the soldiers of the Haw Par Battalion started to run at a faster speed, they were like steel saws that were pulled back and stretched, repeatedly sawing and carving at the cannon fodder soldiers of the Shang Dynasty on the hills.
Not long after, after Zhang Yu killed the four camp leaders of the Shang army and suffered more than half of the casualties in the cannon fodder camp, the remaining Shang soldiers finally began to retreat, fleeing from both sides and jumping down the hillside.
"I didn't expect you to have the courage to follow me," Zhang Yu dismounted and walked up to Su Le and said.
He was still very surprised that Su Le could come at this time. If the ordinary soldiers of the cannon fodder battalion had had their chance, they would have fled long ago. Who is really willing to risk their lives and fight on the battlefield?
Zhang Yu looked Su Le up and down, and then said: "However, I want to give you some mental preparation first. Even if you occupy the formation now, there will still be a fierce fighting, and the armies of both sides will surround this formation.
Do you have the confidence to stand here with me in the battle for victory?"
Su Le nodded and said, "Since I'm here, of course I have confidence."
"Ha, very good. I appreciate you more and more. You are really beyond my expectation. Su Le, as long as I don't die today, I will definitely keep you alive!" Zhang Yu patted Su Le on the shoulder and said
.
Su Le nodded, raised his hands and said, "My subordinates are willing to advance and retreat together with Camp Leader Zhang Yu."
The Qibing Bagua Formation does not have an eye in the strict sense. The hillock that Su Le currently occupies is the key point of the Qibing Bagua Formation. As long as it is occupied here, the entire Qibing Bagua Formation will be difficult to operate, so the Merchant Team will
Desperate to take back this formation.
Taking advantage of the time after capturing Shanbao, Zhang Yu began to reorganize the Hubao Battalion. In the battle just now, the Hawbao Battalion lost a total of two school teams. After reintegration, the Hawbao Cavalry still had 70% of its strength.
.
In comparison, Kaishan Camp's losses were slightly larger. Except for the five schools that lost relatively few players, the other eight school teams all suffered a lot of losses.
"Soldiers of Kaishan Camp, place the corpses of all Shang soldiers at the intersection of Shanbao," Su Le gave the order.
There are four directions in this hillock that you can directly ride up to on horseback: southeast, northwest, and there is a drop of several meters in other directions. As long as these merchant corpses are piled at the intersection of the hillock, the impact of the merchant cavalry can be greatly blocked.
Horses are very precious in both Xia and Shang countries. Sometimes one horse can even be exchanged for five slaves, so generally only elite battalions are equipped with horses. Su Le's move is to prevent the opponent's elite battalion from attacking.
With the elite main force of the merchant army blocked outside, they will be under much less pressure.
After piling all the corpses at the four intersections, Su Le stood there, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "The first wave of attacks is about to begin."
A thin white line was exposed on the distant mountain. That thin line should be the gathering caravan.
That thin white line, coming very quickly, was an elite battalion of the Shang Kingdom.
"Hmph, the Shang Kingdom actually sent the Silver Wing Battalion this time. I heard that this Silver Wing Battalion comes and goes like the wind and is the fastest team in the Shang Kingdom. I will use the Tiger and Leopard Battalion to meet him today.
." Zhang Yu placed the camp flag in the formation's eye, but there was a blood-red halberd in his hand.
