Chapter 553 Capture and Kill the King of Northern Qi
The war began. In addition to the cavalry confrontation, the infantry was also fighting and fighting fiercely.
Luo Zhaoyun had already set up the Eight Lock Formation of the Kinmen Gate. This was learned from Li Jing's military tactics. He also processed and transformed it based on his own thinking. The so-called "gate" is the entrance to the enemy into the formation, which can artificially regulate the formation and allow the enemy to enter the formation.
The eight gates are divided into eight channels: "Sat, live, hurt, Du, Jing, die, shock, and open", which can be opened or closed.
The entire army is divided into nine square formations, each with a brand, ranging from one to nine, with two thousand people in each. In addition, cavalry must be used as surprise soldiers, responsible for running outside and inside the formation, clearing out reinforcements from outside, and rushing into the enemy troops inside.
Luo Zhaoyun led a thousand personal soldiers alone, not counting them, but became the eye of the formation and commanded the entire formation.
At this time, the soldiers on both wings had already arrived. The Sui army lined up on both sides immediately formed a group of guns and thick shields, making the Northern Qi army unable to attack, and could only pour into the gap. Their idea was very simple, one was to insert into the formation and destroy the inside, and the other was to approach the central army and capture and kill the head commander of the Sui army.
But soon the Sui army's phalanx moved, and the original entrance was suddenly closely connected, and some gaps were exposed. Other Northern Qi troops continued to break into the gaps.
Some Northern Qi troops were also worried about fraud and attacking outside, but they were thorns all over their bodies and had thick shield defense, so they obviously had no effective attack.
Moreover, the elite cavalry of the Sui army had appeared as surprises, cutting back and forth, causing the Northern Qi army, which had not entered the formation outside to completely lose contact with the soldiers inside and could no longer reinforce.
Puff puff puff!
At this time, the formation was shrinking, and the tip of the gun was like a mechanical gear, squeezing the enemy. Rows of Northern Qi troops were stabbed and struggling there was no use, and they were slowly swallowed by the army formations from all directions.
The soldiers of the Sui army were all evaporated, like wolves and tigers. They all had their eyes red. They broke into the formation with more than 10,000 Northern Qi soldiers, but most of them were killed or injured in less than half a stick of incense, and the rest were unable to survive.
At this time, Gao Shengtan led his troops to break through the cavalry combat area. He only took a moment to slow down. He had lost eight or nine thousand troops and was cut off from the side by a sudden cavalry.
Gao Qinglan rushed over and said, "King of Qi, this is an ancient military formation that evolved from the Bagua. It was very famous in the late Han Dynasty. It was used by Cao Cao and Kong Ming."
"Do you know how to crack it?"
Gao Qinglan shook his head: "There are methods of cracking in this military book, but Luo Cheng's formation has been greatly changed. It is no longer entirely the Eight Lock Formation of the Kinmen. I don't know how to break the method?"
Gao Shengtandao: "Any formation that allows you to enter will definitely be a fraud or a blocking road. Perhaps it is the Shengmen. Then just break through with cavalry and walk through it all the way. Don't pay attention to his formation changes, let alone let him lead the nose and never get rid of the influence of the formation."
"What the King of Qi said is very true, please order a strong attack!" A general Hu Yanxing rode his horse over, holding a long sword in his hand, and could no longer hold back and was about to attack.
Gao Shengtan looked up at the Sui army's formation as stable as a mountain, and his face became more and more gloomy: "Transfer the message, the order to fight to the death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the roar of Chief Sima of the Central Army: "The golden drum and horns are ringing together! Fight to the death!"
The cowhide drums and gongs on the military chariots roared together and began to attack.
This is the most superficial way to break the formation, and it is destined to pay a heavy price. However, Gao Shengtan and others were unable to break the formation and could only destroy it in the simplest way.
"Kill-kill--"
The Sui army began to change its formations, spears, spears, thick shields, and heavy armor gathered over, forming copper and iron walls, as majestic as a mountain. The three-dimensional defenses were like a meat grinder, and the enemy soldiers rushing up were destined to be strangled.
A crazy bloody battle was staged, and the soldiers on both sides were in the battle, with roars. In the end, someone shouted hoarsely, and could only wave the sword and spear like a mute, slashing violently.
Whether it was the cavalry or the infantry phalanx, they were all killed in the dark and bloody armor.
"Luo Cheng, come out for a fight!" Gao Shengtan yelled in front of the military formation with a heavy pure iron spear.
At this time, Luo Zhaoyun was watching in the formation, and said to Fan Dongyin, He Ruohuaigu and others beside him: "Count the two thousand central troops and follow me to fight out of the formation."
"General, are we not waiting for the rebels to enter the battle?"
"They suffered a great loss and were no longer willing to continue to break into the formation. At present, the Eight Lock Formation of Kinmen has been basically locked, leaving only two or three gates to charge the rebels, forming a fixed defensive formation. It does not require too much command. It is enough to be solid and support it for a long time, so that the rebels can pay a heavy price. We will go out to capture and kill the enemy generals so that he will not run away."
The generals and lieutenants around them were all excited when they heard this military order. According to the commander's intention, the overall situation was decided, and now they were going to capture and kill the rebel leader.
"The cavalry at the northwest entrance, southeast entrance and north entrance will increase their troops one after another with a moment of time!"
"As for order!" A message soldier began to count the timing, and every moment, he blew the horns. In this way, a cavalry of a thousand-person team rushed from the outer valley entrance. The rolling smoke and dust encouraged the momentum, causing the Northern Qi army, who were trapped in the fierce battle, to see the Sui army's reinforcements, and they became more and more impatient and their morale was floating, and they felt that they were about to fail.
This mentality made the morale of the Northern Qi army low, and even had an unknown premonition of defeat.
"Win the coach!" Luo Cheng untied his red robe, revealing the white armor inside, the locked battle armor, emitting white light, a silver helmet on his head, holding the Five Tigers Broken Soul Spear, and a horse and dragon horse under his crotch shouted loudly, and rode his horse and rushed forward.
Around him were the Eighteen Yanyun Cavalry, followed by two thousand elite Yan armored cavalry, people were like tigers and horses like dragons, morale was boosted, and a charge wave surged up.
"Clang clang clang!"
The soldiers and weapons collided first, followed by screams and the sound of a spear piercing into the flesh and blood. Luo Zhaoyun personally led his troops out.
"It's just right!" Gao Shengtan claimed to be superb martial arts and was well-known for his unique skills in the Wu Temple. With some martial arts handed down by Gao's family, he felt that it was no problem to kill Luo Cheng.
Luo Zhaoyun also saw Gao Shengtan wearing a golden mask under the banner of Daqi, sneered and led his army straight over.
The two commanders met on a narrow road and demonstrated their respective superb skills, both of which were to kill each other.
"when--"
The two of them were extremely powerful and used internal strength. The weapons were heavy and pure iron. When they met, the sound of breaking through stones and cracking gold was heard, shaking the soldiers around them all stinged their eardrums.
Gao Shengtan's arms were numb, and his mouth was about to break, and he was secretly shocked. He thought to himself that Luo Cheng was indeed well-known, with such great strength in his arms and his knowledge of using internal strength.
Although he had heard of Luo Cheng's reputation, he did not take it seriously. He thought it was a rumor and a great fiction and exaggeration. Gao Shengtan studied martial arts for ten years in Wu Temple and made a lot of hard work. He felt that few people in the world should be able to do it. Yuwen Chengdu, Zhang Xutuo, and Luo Cheng may not be as good as him.
With this kind of self-deception, I have always claimed to be outstanding in martial arts. In fact, I have only practiced to the level of resonance of all organs, and I feel that it is a rare master in this world.
Luo Cheng used a silver spear in his hand and used his exquisite gun technique, making it superb. The gun shadows were flying, the virtual and real, and the opponent was stabbed to the vital points.
Gao Shengtan struggled more and more hard to resist, and he used all his skills. Shaolin's rumored that other mountain temples were unable to reverse the defeat.
"puff!"
