Chapter 222: The battle of the heavens! The Black Armor Army confronts the Snow Dragon Riders!
The King of Qi did not know that the Baima Yicong was an army of warriors.
He didn't even know that the material of the Baima Yicong's arrows was similar to that of the Mo Dao.
How could the Iron Pagoda remain unscathed amidst such a rain of arrows!
In the central army, Li Changan, sitting on the high platform, saw from afar the Iron Pagoda and the White Horse Volunteers who were about to engage in battle.
Zhuge Liang smiled and twirled his beard, "Your Highness's use of light cavalry against the Iron Pagoda really opened my eyes."
Li Changan looked at the White Horse Volunteers and Light Cavalry who were gradually separating, and a smile flashed across his lips.
"We only have one heavy cavalry Black Armor Army, so of course we have to use it to deal with the enemy's trump card Great Snow Dragon Cavalry."
"The Iron Pagoda is strong in its weapons and armor, but its flexibility is much poorer. It is not difficult to let the light cavalry contain and surround it."
Xu Fengnian on the other side was also looking at Tiefutu with eager eyes. This world-famous heavy cavalry was about to crush the Shazhou cavalry!
"Iron Pagoda, charge! The White Horse Volunteers are Li Changan's trump card, destroy them!"
The sound of war drums resounded into the sky, and the shouts of killing were stirring!
Both the Baima Yicong and the Tiefutu exuded amazing momentum and were about to engage in a head-on clash.
At this time, King Dangguo of Qi saw Huo Qubing's face.
"Li Changan is ridiculous. He actually sent a young general to fight. Shazhou has not yet established a firm foothold and its foundation is shallow!"
"Come and tell us your name. There is no such thing as an unknown person under the Iron Buddha's hoof!"
The words of Qi Dangguo, nicknamed Wolf Dog, caused Huo Qubing to burst into laughter.
"You damn wolfdog, remember this: Huo Qubing's name will be famous all over the world!"
As they were talking, the two generals exchanged blows, murderous intent soaring into the air, their true Qi surging.
Huo Qubing's silver spear is like a dragon, and the power of the celestial phenomena overwhelms the state of Qi!
"Iron Buddha is nothing but this, follow me and kill him!"
Qi Dangguo refused to be outdone, "In this world, when it comes to charging, who can compare to the Iron Buddha?"
If the heavily armored Iron Pagodas charge head-on, they are like tanks, and even the Snow Dragon Riders cannot match them.
Therefore, if the Black Armor Army were to charge at the Iron Pagoda, it would be like a tank ramming a tank.
Even if the Black Armor Army won by relying on the high level of their soldiers, the losses would not be small.
Therefore, Li Changan thought of using flexible light cavalry guerrilla tactics against the Iron Pagoda.
In a blink of an eye, the White Horse Volunteers suddenly dispersed and avoided the Iron Buddha's edge, but their momentum did not weaken.
Xu Fengnian, who was standing far away, looked at the momentum of the two armies and immediately clenched his fists, feeling relieved.
"The White Horse Volunteers have dispersed!"
"It was dispersed by the Iron Pagoda!"
"If the cavalry charge is dispersed, what will happen?"
Sure enough, the Baima Yicong and the Huyan Cavalry and the Tang Dynasty Elite Cavalry behind them all dispersed their formations tacitly.
Although some losses were inevitable, they had successfully slid to both sides of the Iron Pagoda.
The light cavalry of Shazhou were agile and had excellent riding skills. They took out their long-handled swords from their waists one by one.
"Chucky!"
The legs of the Iron Pagoda's horses were cut off, and the Iron Pagoda men and horses fell off their horses and were trampled into meat paste in the blink of an eye.
Wearing heavy armor, Iron Buddha was unable to make any flexible resistance and could only watch helplessly as his legs were chopped off his horse.
Li Changan said calmly, "They are agile and flexible, and can conduct guerrilla warfare on horseback. The White Horse Volunteers are unrivaled in the world."
The cavalry of the Baima Yicong and the Huyan tribe are both excellent riders and extremely loyal.
This kind of tactic requires excellent riding skills and strict military discipline to be achieved.
The Baima Yicong are extremely loyal to Li Changan. They are a combination of elite templates and a warrior army.
In order to survive, the Huyan tribe had already wholeheartedly submitted to Li Changan, not to mention that they were a nation that grew up on horseback.
When the two armies met, the Iron Pagodas suffered heavy casualties for unknown reasons, and hundreds of them were trampled to death or tripped.
Xu Fengnian also realized that the situation was not right, and kept muttering, "No, no, this is not right."
"How could the world's heaviest armor be defeated by light cavalry?"
Seeing that his tactics were effective, Huo Qubing shouted loudly, "Brothers, keep killing!"
"The Iron Pagoda is heavy, destroy them!"
"rush!"
Before the heavy Iron Pagoda could adapt, or even turn around, the light White Horse Volunteers turned around and attacked again.
The light cavalry launched rounds of attacks on the Iron Pagoda, and the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry also engaged in battle with the Black Armor Army.
White horses, white armor, silver spears, on each of the strong white horses sits a grim-faced knight.
On the other side, the world-famous Great Snow Dragon Cavalry was confronting the powerful Tang King's Black Armor Guards.
Both sides were equally uniform and filled with the same murderous intent.
Li Changan saw it from afar and thought of the Great Snow Dragon Riders led by Ye Wan in his previous life.
Yuan Zuozong, this stupid bear, is still inferior to Ye Wan. The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry has no spiritual energy at all.
Zhuge Liang stared at the neat and orderly Snow Dragon Cavalry, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Your Highness, if we can defeat the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry in this battle, our offensive and defensive situations with the Northern Liang Army will be completely different from now on!"
Li Changan took a look at Li Cunxiao's Black Armor Army. Although the number of people was smaller, it was completely enough when combined with the 20,000 Guiyi Army.
Yuan Zuozong held a spear in his hand, and the power of the celestial phenomenon was revealed unhindered.
"Yuan Zuozong, a subordinate of the King of Beiliang, is here. Who dares to fight?"
The eyes of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry were fiery, ready to charge at any time.
The black-armored general on the opposite side chuckled, "Li Cunxiao, under the command of the Tang King, will definitely kill Yuan Zuozong!"
The steel spear in his hand is full of true energy, and the black armored army behind him is ready to go, with murderous aura.
This Black Armor Army had followed Li Chang'an since Yongzhou, slaughtering the Western Barbarians and destroying the Western Rong along the way, and had made great military achievements.
But they all know that only by winning today's battle can they truly become famous.
For a moment, the warriors' army was filled with murderous spirit, and thousands of people shouted in unison.
"The Tang King's Black Armor Army is invincible and swears to destroy the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry!"
"The Great Snow Dragon Riders are destroyed! The Black Armor Army is the best in the world!"
The momentum is earth-shaking, not inferior to that of the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.
Xu Fengnian was secretly surprised when he saw the enemy's momentum among the troops.
Even though he had been locked up for all these years, Li Changan actually had such a strong army.
In addition, the Iron Pagoda on the other side was in a passive position, and Xu Fengnian suddenly felt anxious.
With such elite soldiers and strong generals given to me, I can't bring shame to Xu Xiao.
When Yuan Zuozong heard the shouting from the opposite side, his desire to fight suddenly rose!
"Did you hear that? Another idiot is trying to provoke the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry!"
"Brothers, what should be done!"
The Great Snow Dragon Riders were filled with righteous indignation, "Reduce to ashes!"
"Destroyed into ashes!"
"Destroyed into ashes!"
In an instant, celestial phenomena suddenly appeared around Yuan Zuozong, and all the murderous spirit of the Snow Dragon Riders was condensed!
Only with such a master of astronomy for many years and a veteran who is familiar with military battles, can this be brought together, provided that the army is united and loyal.
"Roar!"
A murderous white dragon descended from the sky and rushed towards the Black Armor Army!
Li Cunxiao frowned, but he was not afraid at all! "Xuanjia Army, behind us is Shazhou, and it is His Royal Highness the King of Tang!"
"After today's battle, we have no way to retreat!"
The Xuanjia Army and Guiyi Army behind him are extremely loyal to Li Changan.
In an instant, under the condensation of Li Cunxiao's celestial aura, the Xuanjia Army and the Guiyi Army actually formed a fighting spirit!
"Roar!"
A giant black dragon suddenly appeared in front of the white dragon, and the two dragons entangled together in an instant!
The armies haven't started fighting yet, but the evil spirits have already started fighting!
Yuan Zuozong stared at the sky, watching the two dragons fighting, and tried to remain calm.
Over the years, he was the only one who could gather the fighting spirit and kill the enemies. He had never seen anyone else gather the fighting spirit and kill the enemies!
Although the other side had fewer people and Li Cunxiao was young, the two dragons of fighting spirit were evenly matched.
The battlefield was in turmoil, dark clouds were rolling, and even the fierce fighting on the infantry battlefield attracted attention.
Zhuge Liang couldn't help but stand up and watch the two giant dragons fighting from a distance.
"The warlike celestial phenomenon is so terrifying!"
"Without the confidence to win, it is impossible to condense such a celestial phenomenon!"
Li Changan was also amazed. It turned out that the murderous intent of loyal soldiers could be combined with the magical powers of a celestial general!
What a loyal army it must be to have such fighting power!
"With such a strong army, my king will have no worries about not accomplishing great things!"
"The troops have such killing intentions, and I will help them with my luck!"
After Li Changan finished speaking, he used Tantric techniques to guide the Qi, and the Qi accumulated in his body was continuously injected into the black dragon.
It contains the Buddhist fortune collected by Li Changan, the Western Chu fortune transferred by Jiang Ni, and the fortune voluntarily given by Huyan Guanyin.
As long as a little bit is taken out, the fighting black dragon will become stronger!
On the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers saw with their own eyes that a stream of energy rose from Li Changan's body into the sky!
Then, the energy passed through the dark clouds above the black dragon's head and injected into the black dragon's body!
"Roar!"
The black dragon roared, then wrapped around the white dragon tightly, crushing it completely!
Xu Fengnian watched the white dragon shatter, but he could do nothing.
Luck? He doesn't have any!
Maybe Xu Xiao has it, but now distant water can't put out nearby fire.
But why does Li Changan have it!
The black dragon roared and rushed into the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry. In an instant, people and horses fell to the ground. Li Cunxiao's fighting spirit won!
The Black Armor Army watched the Black Dragon grow stronger little by little, and flames rose in the eyes of each of the strong soldiers.
Suddenly, someone in the battle line shouted, "Long live the King of Tang! Charge!"
In a blink of an eye, this slogan spread to all the troops in Shazhou.
Li Cunxiao led the way and shouted, "The King of Tang is destined to be king. Charge!"
The black torrent rushed towards the Snow Dragon Riders like a tiger descending from a mountain at lightning speed.
The Great Snow Dragon Riders were attacked by the black dragon of luck and lost thousands of people!
By the time he reacted, the black dragon had already rushed before him.
Yuan Zuozong was horrified and raised his spear high, "Great Snow Dragon Riders, meet the enemy!"
However, just as these white cavalrymen started, they were rushed in front of the Black Armor Army.
The two cavalrymen collided violently, and many of the Great Snow Dragon Riders failed to gain speed and were killed in the first charge.
The Black Armor Army is running at high speed, and a silver spear can tear the armor apart!
The Great Snow Dragon Riders have their own pride and loyalty, and would rather die than retreat.
A brutal fight and collision begins!
The elite warriors of the Black Armor Army were like sharp blades tearing open cowhide. Although the cowhide was tough, how could it withstand the sharp blades!
On the battlefield now, there is fighting and blood everywhere, with infantry fighting hand-to-hand and cavalry charging against each other.
Whichever cavalry charges out first will gain the initiative.
On the battlefield which was several miles square, the sound of fighting was deafening. Both sides fought to the death, and there was not a single deserter.
The battle line was like a meat grinder, with hundreds of people dying with every breath.
Qi Dangguo led the Iron Buddha and gradually fell into a passive position on the other side several miles away.
Huo Qubing's light cavalry moved swiftly, using their sickles to break horses' legs and their spears to stab knights, making it difficult for the heavy iron pagodas to resist.
If we continue like this, we will be exhausted. We can't just sit there and wait for death.
At this time, Qi Dangguo decided to fight to the death. As long as he could break through the defense of the Baima Yicong and rush into the flank and rear of the Shazhou infantry phalanx, the battle would be won!
Because, with the Iron Pagoda's crushing and killing capabilities, once it rushes into the infantry phalanx, it will be like a wolf among a flock of sheep, taking whatever it wants!
Why bother competing with the White Horse Volunteers in speed here? Isn't this just asking for humiliation?
The advantage of Iron Pagoda is its powerful charge!
After thinking this through, Qi Dangguo shouted to the more than 3,000 existing Iron Pagodas, "Iron Pagodas, listen to my orders, charge and kill the Shazhou infantry!"
Hearing what Qi Dangguo said, Huo Qubing showed a look of panic.
"Stop them, we must annihilate the Iron Buddha here!"
The implication is that he was very afraid of the Iron Pagoda charging into the infantry formation.
The Baima Yicong, who had just turned around, and the light cavalry behind them immediately surrounded the Iron Pagoda.
However, Qi Dangguo was extremely fast and had already taken the lead, reuniting a team of thousands of Huyan tribal cavalry.
These nimble grassland warriors, under the impact of the heavily armed iron pagodas, were like tofu cut through by a steel knife.
Even with the light cavalry swarming in from all sides, Qi Dangguo was able to charge towards the infantry phalanx with more than 2,000 people.
Huo Qubing twisted his lips, and then ordered, "The remaining Beiliang cavalry, charge directly!"
After more than two thousand Iron Pagodas left, only hundreds of Iron Pagodas and more than ten thousand Northern Liang cavalry were left.
The losses of the Shazhou cavalry here were not heavy, so Huo Qubing chose to charge directly.
Qi Dangguo and two thousand Iron Buddhas broke out of the encirclement and rushed towards the flank and rear of the Shazhou infantry!
These Iron Pagodas were like hungry wolves seeing sheep, licking their tongues in excitement.
"Boom!"
Seeing Tiefutu rushing out to intercept, Xu Fengnian was also delighted.
Even if there are heavy losses, as long as the Iron Pagoda rushes into the Shazhou infantry phalanx, the enemy will have no choice but to retreat!
Otherwise, there have been cases where the tank-like Iron Pagoda charged and killed tens of thousands of infantrymen.
Iron Pagoda! Worthy of being the soul of the Northern Liang army!
Qi Dangguo shouted excitedly, "The full armor camp is fully armed! What should we do!"
The blood-soaked Iron Pagodas behind him responded one after another with murderous intent.
"Fight to the death! Fight to the death! Fight to the death!"
At this time, Qi Dangguo suddenly found a phalanx of infantry appearing in front of him.
All silver armor, all silver Mo Dao!
The Mo Daos flashed coldly in the wind and rain!
The elite troops under the command of King Tang, the Modao formation!
Qi Dangguo sneered in his heart, the Modao formation could stop the light cavalry, but could it do anything to the Iron Pagoda now!
If the Modao soldiers were really so powerful, would the Southern Tang Dynasty have been destroyed?
The Dangguo of Qi didn't know that the Southern Tang's Modao weighed thirty pounds and the Modao soldiers were ordinary soldiers.
Li Changan's Modao soldiers are all third or fourth rank veterans who have fought in hundreds of battles. The weight of their Modao has risen to a full eighty kilograms!
Gu Dazu was dressed in a green cloth robe, holding an eighty-jin Mo Dao in his hand, and soared into the air as if he were in the clouds.
"The Beiliang Full Armor Camp is fully armed, what should we do?"
Two thousand veteran warriors with Mo Dao swords shouted in unison, their internal strength was powerful and their momentum shook the heavens!
"Fight to death! Fight to death! Let them fight to death!"
Gu Dazu looked around with disdain, and swung out his Mo Dao. The sword light of dozens of feet cut down the Iron Pagoda in the front row!
Today's battle will be the battle for the founding of the Tang Dynasty!
