All the noise in his ears disappeared completely. At this moment, Taishi Ci could only hear his own breathing and heartbeat. Compared with ※'s charging speed and riding a horse, he couldn't tell which one was faster, but based on his feelings at the moment.
He said that he felt that galloping on the ice was more exciting than riding a horse.
A long knife came towards him and hit him on the head. Taishi Ci didn't even look, and the frequency of his feet suddenly increased. The ice blade quickly responded to his force, and his speed was even faster than the extremely fast, and he was ahead of his opponent.
Before the knife fell, Tai Shici had already passed through him. As he passed by, he quickly stretched his arm to his side and wiped the sharp blade between the opponent's neck.
The long knife landed halfway, and Tai Shici pulled and pushed it. The corpse, which was still spitting out blood, suddenly flew up and hit the crowd heavily, mowing down the panicked enemies.
Under normal circumstances, a corpse would certainly not be so powerful, but now on the ice, the feet of the horse thief who abandoned his horse and fought on foot were slipping. He was hit and stumbled by the sudden corpse, and he could not stand firm.
?
Compared with the cavalry charging into battle, the fighting style of long-spurred spurges, iron horses and hard bridges, with the help of ice skates, using speed to tease and kill enemies on the ice, has a different and refreshing flavor.
Taishi Ci resisted the urge to shout happily, cheered up, and under the light of the fire, he found his next opponent. This opponent was wearing a fur cloak, and there was a close-fitting leather armor underneath the cloak. His identity could be known at a glance.
Not ordinary.
The man was a young handsome man. He was frightened by Tai Shici's unusual fighting style and his speed that was faster than a galloping horse. After narrowly avoiding a fatal stab, he began to fight back with curses.
I have never fought such a useless battle in my life. There are horses that cannot be used, and the enemy has no horses but can run faster than the horses. How can we fight this battle?
"Ah ah ah..." He was cursing in his mind, but his hand did not slow down. Zahu Xiaoshuai let out a wolf-like howl from his mouth and swung the knife with all his strength.
After the forward fought with the enemy, he kept observing from behind, and soon discovered the mystery. The enemy seemed to have something like a knife under his feet. With these knife shoes, he could glide on the ice at high speed.
This thing's gliding speed is very fast, and it is more flexible than a war horse during turns. But it is far from perfect. Compared with the high-speed charge of the cavalry, this tactic has more than enough speed but insufficient power.
When the cavalry charges on horseback, they don't need to exert force on their legs and feet. They only need to use their weapons with all their strength. However, the ice equipment under the enemy's feet always requires the use of the strength and skills of the legs and feet to maintain balance. In order to maintain high speed or move forward,
Change direction.
In addition, without the weight of a man and a horse, this method of fighting is fast, but as long as you adapt to the opponent's weird speed, it may not be impossible to defeat it.
Using continuous retreat to accumulate strength and avoid the enemy's pursuit, he grasped the handle of the knife with both hands, swung it with all his strength, and swept the entire army with one move. He was aiming to confront his opponent head-on.
"Dang!" The two swords clashed together. Zahu Xiaoshuai felt a lightness in his hands, and the next moment, he saw a flash of light. He was surprised and inexplicably saw his opponent's sword flying into the air!
After observing for a while, he also discovered that this opponent was highly skilled in martial arts and had an extraordinary identity. At this moment, the enemy's weapon was knocked away. The distance between the two was so close that as long as he turned the scimitar back, he could wipe out the opponent's weapon.
throat!
If this is really possible, wouldn't he have to make a great contribution?
He struggled to slash back with his sword, trying to grasp this great achievement in his hand, but the huge inertia made it difficult for him to do so. At the same time, a strong wind blew in his face.
Oops! He shouted in his heart that something was wrong. The enemy unexpectedly abandoned his sword on purpose. His full-strength strike, like his previous counterattack, was completely in vain.
Before the thought was finished, the stars in front of his eyes were already shrouded by a huge fist. The opponent threw away his sword and punched, all in one go, and his movements were as smooth as clouds and water.
"Bang!" Zahu Xiaoshuai's face bloomed with thousands of peach blossoms, and he fell backwards on his back. Through the blurred vision, he saw his opponent lightly stretching his arms, catching the scimitar that he had dropped, and sliding it downwards.
…
"Iron Wolf!" Qi Zhou cried loudly and sadly. The young handsome man was his confidant. He had fled all the way from Fan Yang to Yu Yang, but he didn't want to die here.
"Asshole! Don't mess around. Form a formation. Form a close formation. The weird thing under their feet is not a horse. You can stop it by forming a close formation!"
The weakness that Tie Lang discovered, Qi Zhou also discovered, is that the ice blade fighting method is fast enough but lacks impact.
One-on-one is no problem. You can just use your speed to rush past the enemy and use the machete to wipe it out. But if the enemy forms a relatively dense formation, it will be difficult to deal with it. Even if you successfully kill the first opponent, you will still have to fight against it.
When facing the second opponent, you will also lose the opportunity because you have no time to adjust.
As long as you seize the opportunity to besiege or force the enemy to fight head-on, you can defeat the opponent. Iron Wolf's tactics are successful. The reason why he died was just because the opponent was too strong.
After the Zahu army rushed down the ice, they were attacked head-on by Tai Shici and severely beaten. At this moment, they were dizzy when they suddenly heard someone commanding them. They immediately found the backbone, got close to each other, and covered each other. The situation immediately improved.
.
The Qingzhou Army, which was coming and going like the wind, did not dare to rush into the dense formation of the Zahu Army. They could only pass by the formation. Not only were they unable to kill the enemy as before, but they were tripped or stabbed down several times by the Zahu Army's long weapons.
indivual.
The Zahu army, who had been passively beaten from the beginning, cheered loudly. The enemy's true face had been seen, and the strange tactics had been broken. There was finally hope of venting the bad breath tonight.
"Lao Qi, you did a great job!" Yan Rou was overjoyed and shouted loudly: "Stay steady, just hold on steady, don't rush for success, just push forward steadily and drive them away!"
He didn't go to fight on the ice. He wasn't sure if his opponent only had this one move. If only some of the enemy troops were on the ice, and the whole army rushed up, they would be surrounded by others, and they would be outflanked on the ice.
Just in case, he brought more than a thousand cavalry to guard the shore as a reserve force.
Originally, he thought that after two thousand men rushed down, he could quickly draw the enemy into a melee. It turned out that the opponent was not only very good at pretending to be clever, but also very strong in real fighting. Before Qi Zhou issued the order to change formations, the Zahu army that pressed across the entire line was beaten.
He couldn't stand, and it made him feel frightened, but he had no choice but to do anything.
Fortunately, Qi Zhou was on the front line and discovered the flaw quickly. Otherwise, Yan Rou would not have known how to end it. He regretted it very much. If he had known this, he would have thought so much. It would be great to carry out guerrilla tactics well, so why bother?
Woolen cloth?
Now, he sincerely hoped that the enemy would retreat when they saw the situation and retreat. If so, he would definitely not pursue the enemy. He would only wait for daybreak to gather the remaining soldiers, and then stay far away from the coast and find a safe place to camp.
He couldn't care less about hatred or anything like that. He was frightened by the endless strange methods of the Qingzhou Army, and he only thought about safety first.
"Don't be too eager to fight, just disperse them and let the archers greet them!"
Yan Rou was very sincere, but Tai Shici was not considerate and found that he could not attack the enemy's formation. He immediately ordered a change of formation.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way, let the archers greet them!" The hundreds of elites who followed Tai Shici to fight responded and slid away, giving the archers a chance to shoot.
"Hurry... Hurry!" Yan Rou was shocked. When they attacked, they were all holding fire, and they were huddled together. At this time, they were shot by bows and arrows. Wouldn't that be fatal?
Yan Rou didn't need to say anything. The Zahu army also knew that something was wrong. They wailed and pushed each other, trying to escape to both sides. But the ice was too slippery, and their mobility was greatly restricted. The Qingzhou army's feet slipped.
, people slid far away, but they could only move slowly in three steps and one stumble. No one around them could walk steadily, not to mention that they had formed a dense formation now?
"Whoosh..." In the desperate cry, there was a dense sound of breaking through the air. This time it was not a rocket, but the power was equally astonishing.
Against the Zahu who only had leather armor for protection and no shield, the damage caused by the feather arrows far exceeded the previous close combat. It was not a salvo, but there were countless feather arrows flying through the darkness, matching the wails and screams of the Zahu army.
The sounds intertwined together, playing the most bizarre rhythm.
"Shoot again, shoot again!" Yan Rou yelled at the top of her voice, commanding the thousand cavalry around her to fight back.
However, at the same time as he issued the order, he heard the cry of his soul. The voice clearly sounded from the depths of his soul, answering all the confusion in his heart.
Useless! Useless!
Although the people of the Central Plains have too many constraints, they cannot act as casually as the Hu people. Facing the attacks of the Hu people, they are often on the defensive. But similarly, they can also create many sharp weapons that the Hu people can't even think of.
.
At that time, the Xiongnu sent out hundreds of thousands of troops, fought fiercely with Li Ling's five thousand archers, and suffered defeats. In the end, all the armies were surrounded, and they had to wait until the Han army's arrows were shot before they could finally win. The whole process suffered enough casualties.
There are tens of thousands.
From this we can certainly see Li Ling's helplessness in surrendering the enemy, but we can also see that facing the mysterious battle formations and sharp armor of the Central Plains, the grassland people did not have much to do.
Just like this moment.
I don't know what method the Han army used, but they moved freely on the ice, using tactics similar to cavalry and archery. Although there were many people on their side, they had the same advantage as the infantry against the cavalry, but they could not use it.
Shooting at each other? It's useless! The enemy's formation is extremely loose, with hundreds of people scattered on the vast ice, and they move very fast. No matter how hard you fire on your side, the results achieved will be minimal.
The infantry on the ice gradually showed signs of collapse. The heavy casualties made Yan Rou's heart bleed. He raised his hand and put it down again. He repeated this several times and finally issued the final order.
"Cavalry, charge forward! Don't worry about the horses, just charge forward. Even if you pay for your life, you must drive them away!"
Only the cavalry can hope to catch up with the opponent's speed, restrain the opponent's tactics, and prevent them from continuing to move around unscrupulously. However, the cost of doing so is too high. It is not that horses cannot run on ice, but they easily slip.
Fall, once it falls, both the man and the horse will be dead.
However, Yan Rou is now at the end of her rope. If she still can't drive the opponent away, the 7,000-strong army will probably be overwhelmed, and she will have no choice but to fight for her life.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" More than a thousand cavalrymen rushed up. Their horses' hooves stepped on the frozen soil and stepped onto the ice. They formed a loose arc and circled from north to south on the river. From this formation
It can be seen from the above that Yan Rou no longer has much fighting spirit. He just wants to drive away the Qingzhou Army so that he can have room to reorganize his army.
However……
"Have you finally come down?" A smile appeared on Taishi Ci's face. He pinched the index finger and thumb of his right hand together, put it in his mouth and blew a loud whistle. Upon hearing the sound, the Qingzhou Army put away their bows and arrows and quickly slid away south.
.
When Yan Rou saw this, her mood suddenly relaxed, and she felt that the heavy barrier in her heart was lifted.
However, soon, he discovered something unusual.
The cavalry stepped onto the ice, not only driving away Tai Shici, but also causing the ice to groan under load...
"Click... click..." If someone pays attention to their feet, they will find that spider web-like cracks appear with the trampling of the horse's hooves, cracking until they break!
"Ah...help...Plop! Plop!"
The first scream sounded in the center of the river. Then, as if spring suddenly arrived early, the entire river suddenly began to freeze, as if the spring water of the river had been boiled. The soldiers fell into the water one after another like dumplings.
The icy cold river water instantly interrupted their screams.
"How is it possible..." Yan Rou felt that she was going crazy. Could it be that God was also helping the Qingzhou people? Why did they have nothing to do while galloping back and forth on the ice for so long? When his cavalry went off, the ice cracked.
Did it happen? All the people in Qingzhou ran away, but all their soldiers fell into the water?
Just as they were horrified, a ray of fire suddenly rose from the hands of the Qingzhou Army who was retreating, soared upward, and finally exploded in the air, blooming into magnificent red sparks.
The next moment, powerful shouts of killing came from the sea in the south: "General Taishi has defeated the enemy, brothers, kill!"
