Seeing the stray arrow, Qu Neng couldn't help but pat his horse.
"Hey! What a pity!"
If this arrow can kill King Zhao, it will be so easy! And the reputation of the Qu family's magic arrow will also surpass that of the Yang family and the Xu family, as well as the rising star in Beijing, the Deputy of the Anti-Theft Department of Dali Temple
Director, Zhang Muqing.
It's a pity that God doesn't have his wish!
King Zhao was really lucky. When Qu Neng took action, he had clearly observed carefully. None of the surrounding guards had time to save him. He didn't know where this guard came from. It was clear that there was no such person just now.
"Father, let me shoot this beast!" Beside Qu Neng, a young and heroic general rode out. It was Qu Neng's son, Qu Yu.
It was when the young man was in high spirits that his archery skills surpassed his father's.
Qu Neng glanced at his son. Qu Neng was very relieved about his son's riding and shooting skills, but he was still too arrogant and sharp at his young age, which was not a good thing on the battlefield.
"Be careful. Don't confront King Zhao head-on. Look for opportunities to shoot Zhu Kai!"
"Got the order!"
Qu Yu rode away with his sixty-three guardsmen.
These are the generals of the Qu family, all of whom are good at riding and archery. The great Zhou Dynasty was good at crossbows, and they like to use bows.
When Qu Neng was guarding Yizhou, the roads were all rugged and mountainous, and there was no way to bring his horsemanship and archery skills into full play.
Now we are on the land of Yanyou, when it was shining brightly.
Qu Yu's archery skills were indeed very powerful, even better than his father's. Even if King Zhao was rushing to kill him among thousands of troops, Qu Yu could still pinpoint his position.
However, every time the bow is drawn and the string is lifted, various accidents will happen to the arrow.
Qu Yu shot a total of seven arrows, three of which were interfered by stray arrows coming from nowhere and missed their aim, three were blocked by the cavalry that suddenly rushed out, and one was about to hit Zhao King Zhu Kai.
But King Zhu Kai of Zhao suddenly stumbled and rolled off his horse. The arrow flew past his head.
Qu Yu has never encountered such a strange thing. His archery skills cannot be said to be unparalleled, but they are definitely the best in the world.
But even with this first-class archery skill, he couldn't hit King Zhao! It made Qu Yu wonder if he was slacking off.
In fact, every arrow he shoots has the possibility of hitting King Zhao. Without external interference, he will almost never miss.
But for some reason today, every arrow will encounter various accidents.
Unlike Qu Yu, who was depressed and slightly confused, Zhao Wang Zhu Kai became more and more happy as he killed more!
King Zhao personally led his army to charge and kill in the formation, which greatly boosted the morale of King Zhao's soldiers and made them even more brave and fearless of death.
With the dignity of a king, charging into battle and taking the lead, the boost to morale is unimaginable.
Moreover, the cavalry led by King Zhao were originally the most powerful cavalry in the world, but due to the previous defeat, their morale was low and it was difficult to display their combat effectiveness.
Encouraged by King Zhao, all the cavalrymen of King Zhao's army took the lead bravely and became more and more courageous as they fought. The Weiyang Sword Cavalry trained by Wu Keming showed a tendency to be unable to resist.
This is not to say that the Weiyang Sword Cavalry is not as good as the cavalry of King Zhao's army, but Wu Keming, the commander of the Weiyang Sword Cavalry, is the soul of the entire cavalry, just like Qi Yuanjing is to Zhen Hai, and Gao Gongxiao is to the trapped camp.
The upper limit difference in combat power between Weiyang Sword Cavalry with Wu Keming and Weiyang Sword Cavalry without Wu Keming can even reach 50%.
At this time, the white mist was extremely thin. Suddenly, the rising sun began to rise in the east, and under the morning light, the white mist began to dissipate.
Zhao Tianlin, who had been in the Central Army, smiled when he saw this. It seemed that God's will was still on the side of the Zhou Dynasty.
When the situation was not good, Zhao Tianlin was given a chance to fight back.
Previously, due to the fog covering his eyes, Zhao Tianlin was unable to coordinate and command, and the soldiers and horses under his command could only rely on the command of their general to fight reluctantly.
Now that the white mist has cleared, his handsome flag is revealed.
In an age when communication was inconvenient, horns, gongs, drums, and flags were used to command the army on the battlefield.
The moment the white fog dissipated, an exciting drumbeat sounded on the battlefield.
Then the dull sound of the horn also sounded.
The generals who were fighting all stopped for a moment and looked in the direction of the commander's flag where Zhao Tianlin was.
But Zhao Tianlin's flag was slowly moving forward, reaching the front of the army.
Immediately, the Chinese army's banner was clicked three times in the direction of the enemy.
The commander's flag moves forward, which means that the coach personally participates in the decisive battle, and clicking the flag three times in a row means a decisive battle.
The Pingjing Army under Zhao Tianlin was originally in danger, with its routes cut off, communications cut off, and not enough food and grass.
Invisibly, the situation of Zhao Tianlin's Pingjing Army was very similar to that of the overlord of Western Chu.
They led the troops across the river, but all the boats were sunk, the cauldrons were broken, and the huts were burned. They held three days of rations to show that the soldiers would die, and none of them would return the favor.
Although Zhao Tianlin was forced to cut off his retreat, he turned his passivity into initiative.
"Keng!" With the sound of the Spring and Autumn Green Dragon Sword in Zhao Tianlin's palm, the battlefield seemed to be suddenly quiet for a moment, and then both sides broke out with even more powerful shouts of killing.
"kill!"
Weiyang's sword cavalry and dragon warrior cavalry collided with King Zhao's fine cavalry, and there were fighting scenes everywhere.
Blood and mutilated limbs are everywhere on the battlefield!
Encouraged by the commander Shuai Qi, the morale of the Pingjing Army cavalry was also high.
At this time, there is no way out. The only way to survive is to fight to the death!
Just such a simple operation doubled the pressure on King Zhao, who was already constantly charging and killing.
The soldiers of the Pingjing Army became more tenacious.
King Zhao did not have a military advantage in the first place, but now the Pingjing army has also become more willing to fight, causing the original advantage of King Zhao's army to be stretched away.
Zhu Kai looked sharply in the direction of the Chinese flag of the Pingjing Army. This handsome flag and Zhao Tianlin under the handsome flag were the source of all problems.
If Zhao Tianlin's central army can be defeated with one powerful blow, then the other armies can naturally be defeated as well.
Thinking of this, King Zhao immediately pointed his sword at the middle army of Pingjing Army, "Fight with me! Capture Zhao Tianlin alive!"
King Zhao led thousands of elite cavalry and charged straight towards the center of the Pingjing Army, where Zhao Tianlin was located.
Although the opponent's cavalry is also strong, the elite cavalry beside King Zhao are not afraid at all. Their confidence comes from their own strength.
He is the best cavalry in the world, so how can he be afraid of the enemy?
As long as they follow this heroic man in front of them, they will be an undefeated myth!
"kill!"
Thousands of cavalrymen rushed towards Zhao Tianlin regardless of the Confederate arrows.
Although there are only a few thousand cavalry, they have an irresistible force that is unrivaled!
When Zhao Tianlin saw this, his expression did not change much. He just whispered a few words to the captain beside him, and then the drums and horns sounded again.
The cavalry of the Pingjing Army began to spread to the two wings, like a pair of pliers, trying to attack the cavalry of the King of Zhao's Army from the left and right sides.
If combined with Zhong Yaqi and Ping Baoer who had circled behind before, this would be a variant of the House of Flying Daggers array.
Qu Neng and his son on the left, Yu Tongyuan and Teng Ju on the right, are all good generals. Zhao Tianlin is not worried that they will make any mistakes.
The winner right now is between Zhao Tianlin and Zhu Kai.
If Zhu Kai could defeat Zhao Tianlin's central army in a short period of time, the formation would naturally collapse, and the morale-boosted King Zhao's army would be enough to defeat the remaining cavalry units one by one.
However, if King Zhao is entangled by Zhao Tianlin's central army and is unable to make achievements, until the formation of Pingjing's army is completed, King Zhao's army will be attacked from both sides and will be defeated on all sides.
This is a game, and time is on Zhao Tianlin's side.
"kill!"
King Zhao held a sword in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, and led his cavalry to continuously attack Zhao Tianlin's main army.
However, Zhao Tianlin's central army only had a small number of Longwu Cavalry Army, and most of them were elite infantry of Longwu Army, fighting in formation.
"kill!"
King Zhao took the lead and led the cavalry offensive like a furious wave. The attacks came one after another, giving Zhao Tianlin's Longwu Army no chance to breathe.
The originally tight formation began to loosen up under such a dense and violent offensive. Infantry had an inherent disadvantage when fighting against cavalry.
The formation of Zhao Tianlin's central army was shaken, and Zhu Kai saw a magical opportunity. As long as he could ensure such an offensive and continue to put pressure on Zhao Tianlin, it wouldn't take long for Zhao Tianlin's central army to be defeated!
As long as the central army is defeated, the Pingjing army's formation will collapse and turn into a pile of scattered sand.
In the distance, Qu Neng and his son, who were spreading to the left wing, and Yu Tongyuan and Teng Ju, who were spreading to the right wing, also discovered King Zhao's purpose.
"Father, Zhu Kai's target is the commander-in-chief! I'm going to support the commander-in-chief!" Qu Yu said immediately when he saw the crazy attack of King Zhao's army.
Zhao Tianlin's central army is actually the most important but slightly weak part of the Pingjing Army at this moment. There are only most of the Longwu Army's infantry and a small number of elite cavalry.
The main cavalry force of the Pingjing Army was in the hands of their father and son, Yu Tongyuan and Teng Ju.
Under such circumstances, it was by no means easy to withstand the fierce attack of King Zhao's cavalry.
After hesitating for a few breaths, Qu Neng nodded, "Immediately order three thousand elite cavalry to go to support. Remember not to join the battlefield easily. Your troops and horses are not right. It is especially important to capture the fighter opportunities!"
"yes!"
Qu Neng and Zhao Tianlin are also old brothers! He can't let Zhao Tianlin face such fear alone, even if he has to divide his own troops, he has to help.
He was confident that the remaining troops were enough for him to complete the mission.
Yu Tongyuan, on the right wing, was the former commander of the Jinyang garrison, and was later incorporated into the Jinyang city defense army. After the Jinyang defense battle, he followed Zhao Tianlin to participate in the battle to destroy the Jinyang.
After Shi San ascended the throne, the Jinyang City Defense Army was reorganized into the Yulin Army, and Yu Tongyuan became the Zhonglang General of the Yulin Army.
He is considered an old subordinate of Zhao Tianlin, and he has great respect and trust in Zhao Tianlin's ability and martial arts.
"General Yu, do we need to send troops to support Governor Zhao?" Teng Ju, the deputy general next to him, looked slightly anxious.
The Chinese army is really closely related. A single move can affect the whole body, so we must guard against it!
Yu Tongyuan shook his head when he heard this, "The Governor is a veteran on the battlefield. In the past, he defended Jinyang and destroyed Houjin. He commanded it well. Since he designed it like this, he must be sure to withstand the charge of King Zhao's troops! We
You cannot disrupt the Governor’s deployment at will!”
…
Two people, two different ways of dealing with each other, also represent the characters of the two generals.
However, Yu Tongyuan was right about one thing. Zhao Tianlin dared to arrange his troops in such a way, so he was naturally confident.
After three consecutive waves of attacks, King Zhao began to discover the problem!
The Chinese army under Zhao Tianlin was much more resolute than he imagined!
Although the position of the Pingjing Army's central army began to waver under the attack of King Zhao's army, its position was not in chaos.
The Chinese army's formation is like a rock in the waves. No matter how violent the waves are, it will always stand there unmoving!
After Zhu Kai failed in several attacks, he already thought something was wrong in his heart!
At this time, the long-term and high-intensity fighting caused the physical strength of the soldiers of King Zhao's army to begin to decline.
Originally this was a tired force, but the elite reinforcements brought by Zhu Kai were currently attacking the Pingjing Army's camp on the south bank of the Baigou River.
The number of soldiers and horses here was originally about 50,000, and with the defeat of the vanguard, the number was reduced to another 10,000.
King Zhao only has 40,000 soldiers capable of fighting!
Now that they have been unable to attack for a long time, the soldiers and horses, including King Zhao, began to waver in their hearts.
As for Qu Neng and his son, Yu Tongyuan, and Teng Ju's offensive on the two wings, the offensive was extremely smooth. The two of them bypassed the flanks and had already surrounded most of King Zhao's army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Kai wanted to temporarily stop his troops, but he was too confident in this battle!
Zhao Tianlin's Pingjing Army is a tough nut. In a short period of time, not only will it be difficult to chew it off, but it may even break his own teeth!
Zhu Kai had to admit that he had underestimated the heroes of the world. Zhou Ting was now the orthodox of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his name was justifiable. There were more generals working for him than Jiang Zhi. He had to find a way to catch a few more in order to compete with Zhou Ting.
.
Otherwise, even if we win today, we will still have to face Zhou Ting's terrifying talent pool tomorrow.
Of course, the top priority is how to withdraw the troops safely. Retreating is not an easy task.
Zhao Tianlin, Qu Neng, Yu Tongyuan, these people are all veteran generals on the battlefield. Once they see that King Zhao's army is weak and unsustainable, they will definitely not let King Zhao go. Let alone retreat, even if they want to escape.
, may not be safe.
However, while King Zhao was attacking fiercely and thinking about how to temporarily evacuate, Qu Neng saw the fact that King Zhao's army was strong on the outside and strong on the inside.
Qu Neng carried a big bow on his back, held a spear in his hand, and led his cavalry to kill King Zhao's cavalry from behind.
"King Zhao is tired. If we don't capture him now, how long will it take?!"
Under the leadership of the general, the Weiyang sword knights under Qu Neng became more energetic! They defeated King Zhao's cavalry and retreated in succession.
The attack on the flank caused King Zhao's cavalry to be in chaos!
Before King Zhao could think of a new way to break the situation, another bad news came.
The house leaked and it rained all night. Even before Pingjing's army could break through the frontal defense, they were attacked by Qu Neng and his son from the side and rear.
To make matters worse, Zhong Yaqi and Heping Baoer had arrived at the rear of King Zhao's army as expected.
At this time, King Zhao's army was already being attacked from both sides!
Looking at the waving flags behind him and the gradually chaotic formation, King Zhao couldn't help but want to shout, "Heaven is going to kill me!"
