Following the instructions of the visitor, He Qizhou discovered that in the southeast, about five miles deep into the lake, a long black line appeared on the ice, and the two thousand riders who had just retreated into the lake were quickly approaching the black line.
"Dismount, wrap up your hooves, and form a formation!" He Qizhou slowly slowed down, stopped charging, and calmly issued an order. The experienced Lin Hu did not want to escape, but retreated into the ice just because he did not want to lose the advantage of the terrain, and even more to waste it.
The snowstorm had just boosted morale, but this battle was on the line and had to be fought!
The three thousand riders had already made preparations for running on the ice. They stopped one after another, took out the cloth bags prepared in advance, put them firmly on the horses' hooves, then gathered their formation, stepped onto the lake, and began to march towards the black line!
The days are short in the north, and before midnight, the sun has already set among the mountains on the southwestern shore of the lake. On the dim lake, the north wind seems to be more violent. From time to time, a whirlwind of ice and snow rolls over, beating on the steel armor.
There was a crackling sound.
He Qizhou asked the thousand heavy-armored knights to rush forward and follow him. The rest of them were slightly behind on both wings. After forming a herringbone formation, the arrow pointed directly at the big flag with the word "tiger"!
After Lin Hu asked the four battalions of the right army to return to the formation, the fifteen thousand cavalry were spread out on the lake. The formation was fuller and the ground was covered with darkness. Compared with the three thousand cavalry one mile away on the opposite side, from a distance, it looked like
It's a giant versus a dwarf.
Lin Hu has no intention of attacking immediately. The longer it takes, the better it will be for him!
The opponent's men and horses have been through two battles, and there is no doubt that they are sweating. After their bodies gradually cool down, their strength will disappear;
Helian Chenwu hasn't appeared yet, so he has to guard against his sneak attack;
In addition, Goshawk is at most forty miles away from here. If he can wait for his reinforcements, he will achieve a decisive victory with minimal casualties!
He Qizhou stood one mile away from the enemy formation and had no intention of charging immediately. The light armor was fine, but the heavy armor had been attacking continuously for thirty miles. Horses needed rest more than people. The most important thing was that he could not launch a surprise attack.
, Lin Hu is fully prepared!
So He Qizhou was prepared to wait a little longer, waiting for Helian Chenwu to catch up and rely on the reputation of the orthodox emperor to shake Lin Hu's seemingly invulnerable army.
"Lin Hu, His Majesty said, I can give you another chance to repent!" He Qizhou rode out of the battle formation alone and walked more than ten steps east. After a loud shout, he slammed his silver spear heavily on the ice, and the tail of the spear penetrated deeply.
Standing firmly on the ice, the upright gun body "buzzed" and vibrated wildly.
He Qizhou was sitting on the proud snow dragon horse. Seeing that the gun was still vibrating, he gently grasped it with his right hand and the silver gun immediately stopped shaking. There was a man, a horse and a gun standing upright, like a mighty stone statue in front of the imperial mausoleum.
It's so raw that people dare not look directly at it.
"Take Helian Chenwu's gun and think you are the emperor? Who are you? How dare you make a mistake in front of me?" Lin Hu, who was under the banner, did not move even half a step, but his seemingly ordinary words were clear.
It clearly fell into the ears of every soldier in the two armies. In the competition of internal strength, He Qizhou was steadily defeated.
"My name is He Qizhou, Lin Hu. The North Route Army has been completely wiped out. The thousands of people you just sent out have also been wiped out. If you don't want your brothers to bleed in vain anymore, I advise you to surrender." He Qizhou
Said sincerely.
"Hahahaha..." He Qizhou's serious words were so harsh to Lin Hu's ears. After laughing wildly, he said: "It turns out it's you, bastard. If it weren't for your parents' couple of bitches, my Zhou Hui would be like this now.
? If you want to survive, ask your useless uncle to surrender to me immediately, and I can guarantee you a lifetime of wealth."
"Bold Lin Hu! Why don't you get off your horse and confess your crime!" A furious voice came from the direction behind He Qizhou. The blizzard of formations dispersed to both sides, and only a burly man covered in silver armor was seen driving his horse out of the formation and walked away.
Zhihe Qizhou stopped beside him.
Lin Hu's camp, which had just been as stable as Mount Tai, suddenly erupted in a commotion, because the person who spoke was none other than the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Helian Chenwu! Most of Lin Hu's troops were once his subjects.
"Helian Chenwu, those who know what is practical are heroes! I have been supporting you for twenty years, but Dong Zhou can't hold on anymore, why are you still so stubborn?" Lin Hu looked even younger than himself.
The ten-year-old emperor gave a lesson.
"The laws of heaven are constant, Lin Hu, do you have to be that rebellious person? Listen to everyone, you are all my subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The usurper Helian Qingfeng is cruel and unkind, and there will be whatever kind of emperor there is.
General, are you willing to be led by such a repetitive villain? I can let go of anyone who repented and turned over a new leaf. Just now, thousands of people are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. What are you waiting for?" As Helian Chenwu finished his words.
, the rear troops he led slowly deployed to both sides of the blizzard.
He Qizhou looked back and saw that the number of people actually exceeded 5,000. There were actually many enemy troops in black among the white-clothed cavalry. It was obvious that these people were willing to defect before the battle.
There were more than ten thousand people in Lin Hu's army who were soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Seeing this scene, the discussion became more intense, and even the formation began to loosen slightly.
"Anyone who makes arrogant comments or acts will be killed without mercy!" Lin Hu knew that the morale of the army must not be shaken at this time, so he immediately shouted loudly. The Anzhou soldiers who were acting as supervisors drew their sabers, and the military formation fell silent instantly.
"Lin Hu, you are known as the number one warrior in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, do you dare to accept my challenge?" He Qizhou pulled out his silver spear and stepped forward again.
"Qi Zhou, no!" Helian Chenwu, who was well aware of Lin Hu's strength, did not expect that He Qizhou would propose a duel, and it was too late to stop him.
"This is the easiest way to break the opponent's military morale. Don't worry, uncle, I will be fine." He Qizhou whispered back and continued to move forward.
"Huangkou boy, are you worthy of fighting with the leader? Keep your head!" Before Lin Hu could answer, a general suddenly rushed out from beside him, holding a six-foot-long halberd and riding a flying horse to He Qizhou.
Rush!
Lin Hu originally wanted to block the exit, but after thinking about it, he decided to let the Seven Meridians' subordinate go to kill him and find out the details of the opponent first.
"I hope I can teach you who died at the hands of my grandfather. My name is Huang Rencai!" Huang Rencai rushed out of the camp and started running wildly, while He Qizhou still walked slowly towards the enemy.
Between the two armies, on the empty ice, a horse galloped with its hooves raised, its tail flying wildly in the strong wind; the other horse seemed to be strolling around, sometimes wagging its tail and blowing its nose, as if it was disdainful of the rider.
Take a look.
Huang Rencai, who was on horseback, changed from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands. When he quickly approached the opponent to about ten feet, he swung the halberd fiercely, confident that the next moment would be when the opponent's head fell to the ground!
He Qizhou, who was riding slowly, still held the gun in one hand. He seemed to be stunned by the opponent's momentum. Even though he was so close, he still didn't make any move!
A moment later, the two horses passed each other, but the person on the fast horse disappeared. The battle-hardened horse may have felt a light on its back, and seemed to be a little stunned, and began to look for its owner on the ice.
The horse has a good sense of human nature. When he looked up and found that his master was still on the gun, he let out a long mournful hiss.
Then there were completely different reactions from the two camps. On one side, there was silence from the black camp, and on the other side, there was a wave of joyful white!
"Lin Hu! Are all your men such 'benevolent'? If you don't dare to fight, you can send more trash to die!" He Qizhou instead held the gun with both hands, swung it around in mid-air, and fought hard
Huang Rencai threw the tip of the spear towards Lin Hu's Wang Banner. Huang Rencai's body flew more than ten feet in the air and then slid nearly forty feet on the ice until it was less than twenty feet away from the Chinese army's banner.
The distance slowly stopped.
Huang Rencai was not weak. Apart from Tong Tai, he was one of the few capable generals in Lin Hu's camp. However, he was knocked down in one battle. This shocked all the black-clad troops, and most of them did not even see clearly.
He Qizhou's move!
Lin Hu saw clearly that He Qizhou slapped Huang Rencai away with one palm and stabbed Huang Rencai with all his strength. At the same time, he stabbed Huang Rencai in the chest with his spear. The silver spear pierced Huang Rencai's front and rear breast shields. This accuracy and physical strength were not visible.
How much lower than yourself.
Now the opponent has grown from three thousand to nearly ten thousand, but Lin Hu knows that those three thousand are far more terrifying than the six or seven thousand that Helian Chenwu brought, and picking off He Qizhou in front of the formation will be a huge blow.
The opponent's morale. Lin Hu began to hesitate whether to immediately go out to fight He Qizhou or continue to delay time and wait for Goshawk's reinforcements.
"He Qizhou!" "He Qizhou!"... The shouts in the white robe camp rang loudly. He Qizhou paced back and forth in the middle of the two armies. Seeing that no one came out to challenge him, he shouted loudly at the tiger-character flag: "Lin Hu
, do you dare to accept the challenge?"
"Lin Hu coward!" "Shut up turtle!" "Coward!" "Traitor!"... The cries of the white-robed camp began to become chaotic, and all kinds of curses came out, although it was difficult to let them go.
The enemy soldiers outside could clearly hear what was being yelled, but the people who were yelling were still enjoying it, and it seemed that the more they yelled, the higher their morale became.
On the contrary, every word shouted by the Eastern Zhou camp seemed to hit everyone in the black army. Everyone looked at Lin Hu, who was known as the God of War. Could it be that the famous Lin Hu was really killed by the opponent's attack?
Are you scared of guns?
Lin Hu knew that he could not wait any longer, otherwise the morale of his own army would be almost exhausted before reinforcements could be received. Fortunately, his opponent's strength was only that. If he had used the shot that threw away the body, it would have been enough to kill the body.
Throw it to the feet of the king's flag!
"Bring me a gun!" Lin Hu put on a silver helmet shaped like a tiger's head and slowly walked out of the queue. Behind him, a giant who was half a head taller than Lin Hu also followed, and then he put on a gun that was almost the same as He Qizhou's.
The identical iron gun was handed to Lin Hu's hand.
The black camp finally burst into cheers. Lin Hu is the god of this army! Those who have followed Lin Hu in battles all year round know that almost no one is his enemy, so they simply take the gun.
