Although Zhu Shihong is reckless and rough, as a master of the Dongxuan Realm, he still has a keen intuition for the realm of martial arts.
Although Cao Xueyang has never borrowed the power of heaven and earth's vitality, the spear intention in his movements is not something that ordinary Yuan Hua realm masters can display.
Others can't see it, but Zhu Shihong can.
Cao Xueyang was fishing just now. From the first battle with Ye Yang, she hid her own strength and pretended to be in an inseparable fight with Ye Yang.
The Snake Pan Seven Detection Spear used by Cao Xueyang did perfectly restrain Ye Yang's Hundred Birds Chaofeng Spear. This made all the generals of King Zhao's army, including Zhu Shihong, misjudge Cao Xueyang's strength.
They thought that Cao Xueyang only relied on his excellent marksmanship and restrained moves to win over Ye Yang.
When Liu Yue took action, Cao Xueyang deliberately exposed the divine horse Ye Zhaobai under his crotch, making the generals think that Cao Xueyang was using the power of the divine horse to resist Liu Yue's fierce offensive.
At this time, Zhu Shihong had actually noticed that something was wrong. Although Cao Xueyang relied on her dexterous marksmanship to fight, in Zhu Shihong's view, she was clearly not weak at all, as if she had everything under control.
Liu Yue's heavy sword didn't seem to pose any threat to her.
But this is still Zhu Shihong's personal feeling, and there is no evidence to support it. When Zhang, Wang and Li teamed up to besiege Cao Xueyang, Zhu Shihong started to test.
However, they only had time to get down from the tower, mount their horses and leave the city. In less than a hundred breaths, Zhang, Wang and Li were killed by Cao Xueyang's gun.
At this point, Zhu Shihong can basically confirm Cao Xueyang's martial arts level.
"You have been showing weakness to the enemy. In addition to taking the opportunity to kill our general, your real goal is actually to sneak attack on me!"
What Zhu Shihong said made Cao Xueyang look at him with admiration.
In the archival information of the Longwu Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Shihong is a reckless and rough image, and bravery and foolhardy are synonymous with him.
Now it seems that the people doing intelligence work are one-sided.
Everyone who can reach the Dongxuan Realm, whether with the help of external forces or relying on their own breakthroughs, must have their own merits.
Even practitioners of blood river magic must have a strong mind, otherwise their mind will be lost before the magic is completed, and they will turn into a crazy person.
Zhu Shihong may seem reckless, but he is very delicate in martial arts, which is what makes him outstanding.
Seeing that his strength was being challenged by Zhu Shihong, Cao Xueyang no longer hid it, his aura surged, and he was suddenly on par with Zhu Shihong.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Shimei realized that he had fallen into Cao Xueyang's scheme and had lost five generals from the Cenozoic and Mesozoic generations without checking.
"This is what she looks like. She looks a bit like beheading the king's daughter-in-law and the queen of Pingyang."
Cao Xueyang is a woman as good as a man, and in terms of performance, no one in the world can beat her except Yang Qingyuan.
"I heard that your marksmanship is as good as that of Heavenly Spear Yang Ning. Sooner or later I will fight him. Today I just want to test how good his marksmanship is on you!"
After saying that, Zhu Shihong gently clamped his legs on the horse's belly and slowly drove the horse closer to Cao Xueyang.
However, Cao Xueyang's extremely heroic eyebrows were slightly frowned unnoticeably. Although he hadn't taken action yet, he could already sense Zhu Shihong's extraordinary qualities.
Slowly approaching the horse was one of Zhu Shihong's strategies.
His Lihua mountain ax has similarities with Liu Yue's heavy sword, such as the method of accumulating force and momentum.
It seems that Zhu Shihong's approach to humans and animals is harmless, but in fact, every time the famous curly lion beast under his crotch takes a step forward, the momentum on his body will become stronger.
A general with swords and axes, puts the situation first.
"Open the sky with an axe!"
Zhu Shihong then suddenly rushed forward three feet away, trying to catch Cao Xueyang off guard.
The 180-pound pear-shaped mountain ax fell down on his head, but before the ax blade could reach it, the strong wind it brought caused Cao Xueyang's cheeks to hurt slightly.
This ax is invincible, this was Cao Xueyang's first reaction.
Tunhong, originally held in his palm, suddenly came out of its hole like a snake and stabbed Zhu Shihong's throat at a faster speed.
There is quite a tendency of being late and arriving first.
A straight thrust with a spear and a vertical chop with an axe, neither of them had any intention of giving in.
At this time, whoever dodges first will lose momentum and will lose the upper hand in the subsequent battle.
According to the current speed, Cao Xueyang's gun blade would pierce Zhu Shihong's throat first, but at that time she would definitely not be able to avoid Zhu Shihong's pear-shaped mountain axe.
Trading life for life is too violent!
When the spear point was still seven inches away from Zhu Shihong and the ax blade was only one foot away from Cao Xueyang, the two men stopped their attacks in almost no particular order.
The fight just now was just for the two of them to gain the upper hand, and they did not really want to die together.
Zhu Shihong only felt that he had a bright future, and it was not worth losing his life for a mere Cao Xueyang. If it could be exchanged for the lives of Li Chengen or Yang Qingyuan, Zhu Shihong would probably not back down.
Cao Xueyang also thinks the same way. As the coach of the Longwu Army, his status and status are not comparable to that of Zhu Shihong, a pioneer general.
If the head coach of that army replaces the other side's vanguard general, it will be a loss-making business no matter where it is.
After the two exchanged blows, the horses passed by each other.
Zhang Shimei, who was on top of the city tower, clenched his fist and hit the city wall, secretly saying "It's a pity".
For Zhang Shimei, it would be a great deal if Zhu Shihong's life could be exchanged for Cao Xueyang's life.
The most direct benefit is that it can save Cao Xueyang's life.
Cao Xueyang was the Marquis of the imperial court and the commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army. Her death in battle would be a huge blow to the morale of the imperial court.
Next is the Longwu Army. There is no commander in the army, which gives Zhang Shimei a chance to defeat the enemy.
Unfortunately, at the last moment, both Cao Xueyang and Zhu Shihong escaped.
Ci does not command troops. Zhang Shimei believes that this is the courage and determination that an army commander should have. If he can get the greatest victory at the smallest price, he will be willing to give up even his own son, let alone his good friend Zhu Shihong.
As the two horses passed each other, Zhu Shihong suddenly flew away, holding a mountain ax and slashed with his backhand. This was the horse tail chop among the thirty-six axes of Tiangang. The attack was natural and without warning, making it extremely difficult to guard against.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This Tiangang Ax is a horse-riding skill, and this ax is aimed at the enemy's mount.
If it were chopped solid by this 180-pound pear blossom mountain ax, it would be a great blessing to be missing arms and legs.
Zhu Shihong is not the only one who can hit the backhand at this time.
Cao Xueyang thought the same way, but at the moment when Cao Xueyang passed by, he held a gun in one hand and drew an arc of one and a half months, slashing Zhu Shihong horizontally.
"Keng!"
After the clash of spears and axes, they immediately dispersed under the tower, causing the ears of the soldiers on both sides to ache slightly.
With the two people as the center, a vortex was formed, and the vitality of heaven and earth began to gather towards the two people.
Cao Xueyang's Hundred Birds Chao Phoenix Spear has reached the state of perfection. Wherever the spear comes out, the sky is filled with the shadow of the spear, which is extremely agile.
Zhu Shihong's Lihua mountain ax is also at its peak. The wheel is "smart". No matter how brilliant the ax technique is, it is impossible to surpass the spear technique, so he uses force to overwhelm the opponent. Before making a move, the enemy must be saved.
The ax struck out, smashing the shadows of spears all over the sky with mighty force.
It was just that Cao Xueyang's last move had just ended, and the second shot immediately followed. This made Zhu Shihong's ax technique extremely powerful, but it was not advantageous at all.
As the sun rises, more than 20,000 cavalrymen slowly march towards the northeast on horseback, and the tall and muscular horses pace leisurely and contentedly.
The clear black armor exudes a black-gold light, which makes people squint their eyes involuntarily.
Under the rising sun, the two poles are more than three feet high, with the words "Zhou", "Longwu", "Zhao" and other words in big letters on them, and the flags on the black background are flying high.
Following the cavalry were at least 30,000 capable infantry.
In front of the powerful infantry, the first thing that appeared was a five-foot-high tooth flag with a black satin base of more than one foot wide and five feet long, with a foot-sized "Zhao" character on it shining brightly in the sun.
The tooth flag means "the one with the tooth flag is the essence of the general". In ancient times, the tooth flag was the symbol of the entire army.
The tooth flag is the main symbol of an army, so in a war, wherever the tooth flag is, it means that the command center is there and the general is there. If the flag does not fall, the general is there and the whole army exists. Once the flag falls, it means
The general is gone and the entire army has collapsed.
This elite army came out from Yanmen Pass in Dai County and approached Jizhou from north to east.
The person leading the troops was none other than veteran general Zhao Tianlin.
Zhao Tianlin was getting very old and originally wanted to serve as an official and return to his hometown. However, the capital city experienced great changes and Yang Qingyuan left the capital.
If the imperial court wanted to rebuild the Longwu Army, it could only let Cao Xueyang take charge. However, although Cao Xueyang had great military exploits, extraordinary martial arts skills, and was good at running an army, his experience was still too little.
Therefore, the cabinet rejected Zhao Tianlin's request to become an official, and transferred him from the newly-established Yulin Army to the Longwu Army as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army.
In addition, Zhao Tianlin also authorized Zhao Tianlin to mobilize 60,000 soldiers and horses from the original Jinyang Garrison, which was later the new Yulin Army, to supplement the lack of combat power of the new Longwu Army.
The 50,000 troops and horses Zhao Tianlin brought today were the old soldiers of the Jinyang garrison.
King Zhao worshiped heaven and worshiped his ancestors in Yancheng, and raised a banner to worship heaven and appeasement. This made Long Wujun nervous all of a sudden.
The commander-in-chief of the Longwu Army, Cao Xueyang, was personally stationed in Jinyang City, while the deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Tianlin led the army north to Yanmen Pass and approached Jizhou, not giving Prince Zhao's palace an opportunity to expand.
To the northeast of Yanmen Pass, there are one hundred thousand elite soldiers under the command of King Zhao, led by his general Qiu Fu, eyeing the pass.
Zhao Tianlin's mission this time was to confront Qiu Fu and prevent him from continuing to advance westward.
Qiu Fu and his lieutenants watched Zhao Tianlin lead the army slowly approaching on a mountain ridge. Qiu Fu knew that the Zhou army on the road had actually known the location of his camp for a long time, but when the war came, he could still be so leisurely. Obviously, whether it was immediately
Both the knight and the horse under the knight are brave and brave people who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
These should not be the newly built Longwu Army soldiers and horses, the elites who fought in the bloody battle in Jinyang at that time.
When Qiu Fu saw the huge tooth flag, he knew that this was Zhao Tianlin's main army.
This put a lot of pressure on Qiu Fu's heart. Not to mention that the Sixth Army's increasingly sophisticated ordnance had surpassed that of King Zhao's Army. The 50,000 elite Jinyang garrison veterans alone were enough to give them a drink.
Although Qiu Fu has a superior force, if the two sides really fight, the outcome is not certain.
Of course, not only Qiu Fu was nervous, Zhao Tianlin was also not relaxed.
He had heard of the reputation of the flying general Qiu Fu. He was a famous general under the command of the King of Zhao. He was born in the ranks of the soldiers. He was brave and brave. Although he was not smart enough, he was always at the vanguard of the army in every battle and dared to penetrate deeply with his troops.
The most important thing is that Qiu Fu made good use of his light cavalry to open up the decisive battle.
This is a unique fighting method used by the Jin Mohe people after the Qiu Fu War.
Outside Youzhou, there is a vast plain with no obstacles or fortresses. The Mohe people make a living by fishing and hunting. They are good at riding and shooting. They gather and disperse randomly and come and go as fast as they fly. There is no way to pursue and annihilate them. However, Qiu Fu has been fighting with the Mohe people for a long time.
During the fight, a unique set of tactics was explored.
"Order, Zhao Wu and Chen Qu will lead their troops to camp. If the rebels come out, use strong crossbows to shoot them. Do not engage in casual confrontations. Order the scouts of each army to go out fifty miles and carefully explore whether there are any ambushes around our army."
Order after order came from Zhao Tianlin's mouth. After sixty-six years of fighting on the battlefield, the caution of combat command has been engraved in Zhao Tianlin's bones.
Following Zhao Tianlin's military order, Zhao Wu's Chinese army of 10,000 infantry set up camp on the left and right less than three miles away from Qiu Fu's camp, while Chen Qu's 10,000 cavalry camped directly in front of Qiu Fu's camp.
They blocked Qiu Fujun's way out of the camp.
Soon, a simple camp was built.
"General, the Southern Army has set up camp, what should we do!?" Li Yuan next to Qiu Fu asked.
He is known for his resourcefulness, which complements Qiu Fu's bravery, and the two have been partners for a long time.
Qiu Fu immediately reined in his horse and said, "Go back to camp and prepare for war. How can it be so easy for an old guy like Zhao Tianlin to set up camp!"
As Qiu Fu organized his army, a large number of Zhao Wang's soldiers poured out from the military camp and formed a formation in front of the camp.
The difficulty of observation during the day is much lower than that at night. Now the scouts have estimated that Zhao Tianlin's troops are around 50,000.
Since Qiu Fu knew the strength and weakness of Zhao Tianlin's army, he would not hesitate to directly order the army to press forward in a row on the left, center and right.
One hundred thousand soldiers and horses, 60,000 infantry, and 40,000 cavalry.
Qiu Fu's left and right wings had 20,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry respectively. The central army's Qiu Fuya Banner was located
It seems to be the weakest, but it is actually the most dangerous. There are more than ten thousand crossbowmen quietly hidden on the two wings, all equipped with powerful crossbows from Da Zhou. Qiu Fu's killer move is also hidden near the Zhongjun Ya Banner.
By setting up the battle formation like this, Qiu Fu wanted to overwhelm others with force. Although Zhao Tianlin's army was all elite and well-armed, the biggest drawback was that it had too few troops.
Qiu Fu's troops were twice as strong as those on the ground, so he naturally dared to take the initiative.
The three armies are lined up in a row. No matter which army Zhao Tianlin attacks, as long as his troops and horses are held back for a moment, the other two armies can immediately surround him and Zhao Tianlin will be defeated.
Zhao Tianlin looked at Qiu Fu's formation and couldn't help but laugh, "This madman Qiu has not changed at all. He is still so brave and reckless, and he is ready to fight just after we met!"
"According to this general's order, all the scouts belonging to the army are sent out to detect the invincible army within twenty miles of our army. It is necessary to find out the true and false status of Qiu Fu's rebels! Report as soon as possible!"
"Here!"
Faced with Qiu Fu's challenge, Zhao Tianlin just smiled and said, "Send the order, back up the camp and shrink the formation!"
