After the horn sounded to form an array to meet the enemy, the soldiers of the Spike Army, who were chasing down Shatuo's remnant soldiers from far and near, resolutely gave up the military exploits that were at their fingertips, turned their horses around, and quickly gathered on the hillside where the general flag was located.
The original army formation with a radius of 100 paces soon expanded to more than half of the hillside. Long-speared horses, powerful crossbows and iron armor, the Spike Army is already very powerful, and occupying a high place, it looks like a mighty abyss at first glance, and it is indeed like a divine soldier.
However, no matter how magical soldiers descended from the sky, there were only less than 70,000 people. Compared with the sea of Khitan cavalry that surrounded and swept over the mountains and plains, it still couldn't change the fact that it was just an isolated island.
Yelv Xienechi led his troops across a low slope, seeing that the Spike Army had started to form an offensive formation, he couldn't help showing admiration in his eyes.
In an instant, the admiration for the Spike Army was replaced by bloodlust. He looked at the general flag waving in the wind, and laughed lowly: "In order to destroy you, Khitan paid the party and the Shatuo. The price of more than 700,000 soldiers, how can you not die?"
When the soldiers of the Spike Army were assembled, the Khitan cavalry was already in sight. Wherever you can see in all directions, there are endless white cavalry. The earth trembled, Shatuo people's corpses were trembling, and the blue sky seemed to be collapsing.
Shangguan Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and shouted an order, and with the help of the battle formation, the general's order was conveyed to every soldier, "Prepare the wolf tooth crossbow!"
Spike crossbow, after Shangguan Qingcheng engulfed Peng Zushan to the barracks, the other party developed a magic weapon specially developed by the other party for the Jingqi of the Spike Army. It is small in size, easy to use by cavalry, blessed with rune arrays, more powerful than arm crossbows, and has a longer range. What is especially commendable is that it can shoot three arrows in a row with one shot.
Therefore, the Spike Crossbow is a sharp weapon for cavalry groups.
"Rush!"
When the Khitan cavalry reached the optimal distance, following Shangguan Qingcheng's order, the battle formation of the Spike Army on the vast and gentle slope slowly spread down. Because of the terrain, the Spike Army accelerated faster than usual, and the charge was formed in an instant, pouring down like an avalanche.
Yelv Xienechi did not rush to the front. Although he has the confidence to destroy the Spike Army, he also knows that the Spike Army still has the power to fight. Facing Shangguan Qingcheng, who is in the realm of a famous military general, he is undoubtedly sending him to the knife's edge.
Yelvxienechi had no intention of courting death.
Although he didn't lead the battle, the vanguard general was his most capable confidant, and he was also the most powerful general in the heart besides him. Yelv Xienechi knew very well that the generals in front had to resist the Spike Army for a while, and if they easily tore apart the opponent's formation, the consequences would definitely be unbearable.
However, the facts did not go as Yeluxienechi expected.
Before the Spike Army rushed down, a layer of boundless dark clouds first rose into the sky on the hillside. The dark cloud appeared so swiftly, there was no time for people to react, and it suddenly fell in the front of the belly!
The sound of crossbow arrows piercing into the flesh sounded almost at the same time, and the sound was extremely loud when they were connected together, almost equivalent to a tsunami eruption, which made people's heart shattered. The screams that came out one after another immediately overwhelmed the teeth-stinging voice, tearing people's eardrums with pain.
Yelv Xienie was as red as falling into an ice cave, the hand holding the rein trembled violently, almost causing the horse to rush out.
From those crossbow bolts, he saw the aura of aura.
This discovery horrified him.
The Spike Army uses the magic weapon, the crossbow!
There has never been a large-scale magic weapon bow and crossbow in the army, whether it is the Tang army or the Khitan army!
And the crossbow arrows that just flew out from the Spike Army formation, there are more than ten thousand at least!
Such a large-scale magical weapon, a powerful crossbow, has never been seen or heard before!
And its power is even more desperate.
Yelu Xienechi stood up on the low slope, so he could see clearly that after the "three arrows" before the battle, his thousands of cavalry in the front line were gone! The scattered lucky ones and strong ones are still rushing forward, but they are as thin as a few dandelions in the wind.
They were soon overwhelmed by the tide of the Spike Army.
Thousands of cavalry fell to the ground in the blink of an eye, leaving a large buffer zone for the Spike Army to advance.
So after the three arrows before the battle, it was the three arrows before the battle.
After the third battle with three arrows, the most valiant cavalry in the heart of the Khitan Kingdom lost nearly 20,000 in this way!
They didn't even touch the hem of the Spike Army's clothes, so they died on the way to charge!
Yelv Xienechi only felt stares in his eyes and had difficulty breathing. Those are all his subordinates, his comrades, his siblings!
Knowing that the Spike Army can fight, but I didn't expect the Spike Army to be so capable. I only thought that the Spike Army was able to fight because Shangguan Qingcheng had the realm of a famous military strategist. I didn't expect them to have such a unparalleled weapon in the world!
Yeluxiene's heart aches unbearably, but Shangguan Qingcheng is still dissatisfied.
There were too many Khitan cavalry, and the encirclement was in a circle. The Spike Army had no room to move, so they were now in close contact with the Khitan cavalry.
If it weren't for being encircled, the effect of the Spike Crossbow would definitely be more than that. Moreover, there are only 5,000 Spike Crossbows in the Spike Army. Although they can fire three shots at a time, they are still too few.
If the 70,000 Spike Army cavalry were able to hold a Spike Crossbow in their hands, they would definitely be able to traverse the world, go up the mountain of swords and down the sea of fire, as if walking on flat ground.
It's a pity, on the one hand, there is not enough time, Peng Zushan and Jiang Zuojian can only manufacture so many spiked crossbows; on the other hand, there are limited materials, and 70,000 spiked crossbows are destined not to be realized.
Unless, Datang's territory is wide enough to mine and collect enough materials for making spike crossbows.
Before Yelv Xienechi charged, his eyes were already red.
After the Spike Army used their powerful crossbows to kill the enemy, they relied on the strength of Shangguan Qingcheng's military strategists to crush the formation of more than ten thousand cavalry like a chariot!

For this sake, if it were an ordinary army, no matter how many people were behind it, the battle would have been chaotic and the soldiers would have fled. Because no soldier has the courage to face such an army, such a brutal offensive!
This is just the power of a charge!
Yelv Xienechi was really very lucky, very lucky.
He was glad that he did not have an unprepared encounter with Shangguan Qingcheng. He also finally understood very clearly that no matter how Dangxiang and Shatuo prepare for the war, as long as they face the Spike Army led by Shangguan Qingcheng, the battle situation and results will not be much different.
This is not an army that can be forcibly shaken!
It probably shouldn't be in this world at all.
When it appeared, others would have no way out!
For the states within the reach of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, apart from perishing, there is only one way to go to surrender!
At this moment, Yelu Xienechi, a Khitan, also understood what Tang Xiongfeng is! I understand why when the Tang Dynasty was in its heyday, there would be such a scene of all nations coming to court.
At that time, Datang also had famous generals like Shangguan Qingcheng and an army like the Spike Army. How could Datang not open up thousands of miles and conquer the barbarians
Yeluxiene was sweating like pulp.
It was cold sweat.
He wiped the sweat off his face and let out a long sigh of relief.
Your Majesty's arrangement is not wrong, no, it should be said to be extremely wise. If the Spike Army is not destroyed and Shangguan Qingcheng is not destroyed, the Khitan will not be qualified to compete with the Tang Dynasty!
And now, it is the best, and it can even be said to be the only opportunity.
Fortunately, this opportunity is a certainty.
Yelv Xienechi rushed to the front of the battle formation, and immediately took the position of the general with his spear.
His confidant lieutenant general is dead.
Now it's time for him to fight for himself.
If not, the soldiers would have no intention of resisting the Spike Army with the elite and fearlessness of the heart. This is the second battle formation in the heart, and although there is not a big gap between it and the first battle formation led by the lieutenant general, there is a clear distinction.
When the heart of the heart meets the Spike Army, it is necessary to arrange two layers of battle formations to maintain the hierarchy of offense and defense. This is the strict order that Yelu Abaoji issued to Yelv Xienechi before he left. If you don't obey, you have won, and you have to raise your head to see him.
Yelvxienechi complied with this military order.
Only now did he realize how foresight Yelu Abaoji was.
If this is not the case, the rout of the front line will disrupt the formation of one's own side, causing chaos and causing the entire battle line to be defeated.
But right now, the defeated pawns in the front of the heart are being guided to the left and right in front of the second battle formation.
Yelv Xienechi did not hesitate, and led his troops to rush out before the defeated soldiers were completely evacuated. The result of this is that the follow-up defeated soldiers were swallowed up by their charge and died; but the benefits are also obvious, the Spike Army has no chance to fire their crossbows again.
Yeluxienechi was brave and fearless, and met the Spike Army led by Shangguan Qingcheng.
At this time, he was indeed fearless. He could see clearly that Shangguan Qingcheng's famous generals were no longer majestic in battle.
Although the 30,000 soldiers in the heart can be said to die face to face, death is very valuable.
Without the power of the famous generals in the battle formation, there is not much difference in combat power between the Spike Army and the heart. If at this time, Yelu Xienechi, who had more than 200,000 Khitan cavalry, could not defeat the exhausted Spike Army, he would become the laughing stock of the entire Khitan country.
At this point in the battle, there is no possibility of accidents.
The abdomen collided with the Spike Army, and they both turned their backs. The follow-up cavalry continued to pass by each other, beheading each other's soldiers.
Casualties were mounting on both sides.
Yelu Xienechi faced off with Shangguan Qingcheng, but was led away by the horse and rushed towards the opponent in front.
Yelvxienechi was both excited and in pain.
What is exciting is that the strength of Shangguan Qingcheng's battle formation no longer poses a threat; what is uncomfortable is that even under such circumstances, the number of casualties in his own trilogy still far exceeds that of the Spike Army.
"As expected of being the only famous general in the world." Yelu Xienie sighed secretly. Of course he knows that the strength of a general is not only the strength of individuals, but also the strength of the army as a whole.
"But it's not enough for you to escape, today, you can rest here in peace!" Yelu Xienechi turned to look at Shangguan Qingcheng. At this moment, he actually felt a little bit of admiration for the hero, and he couldn't bear to see the other party die in battle like this.
However, now is obviously not the time to choose.
Shangguan Qingcheng's face, which was whiter than Baixue, gradually turned bright red. Her breathing became heavier and heavier, until she felt a tearing pain in her lungs every time she took a deep breath.
She knew that she was about to run out of energy.
Shangguan Qingcheng can't remember how many Khitan soldiers he has killed since he fought Yelu Xienechi. But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter anyway. As a chief general, even if he killed dozens of enemy generals, as long as he did not win, it would be meaningless.
But now, Shangguan Qingcheng, who had been staring at the fight ahead, couldn't see where the victory was. In front of her were Khitan soldiers with no end in sight, no matter how hard she slashed and killed, no matter how many people fell off their horses in front of her, what she saw was still like a sea of white horses, like a forest of spears and halberds.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from Shangguan Qingcheng's rib.
Her movements were finally slow, slow again and again, so slow that she couldn't block all the enemy's knives and guns, and so slow that she couldn't even use the solid part of the armor to resist the sharp edge.
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't look down at his wound.
She didn't need to look, she also knew that the blood was already flowing.
She just used the long spear to pick the Khitan commander who stabbed her off the horse, and then went to meet the next enemy.
He would be injured, so Shangguan Qingcheng knew that the soldiers on his two wings must have suffered heavy casualties. Otherwise, they would never let the enemy's spears threaten them.
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't look back, but rushed forward.
It's useless to turn around, if you can't lead the army out of the encirclement, all the Spike Army will die here.
Everyone knows a word: victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. This shows that no matter how powerful the general is, no matter how famous the military god is, he may still be defeated. There are countless such famous generals in history books.
Shangguan Qingcheng remembered what she had asked Li Ye when she was still Shaoai: Throughout the ages, have there been any generals who are invincible in all battles? Li Ye answered her, yes, and many, such as Sun Bin and Huo Qubing.
Shangguan Qingcheng has never been defeated.
Will he remain invincible like Sun Bin and Huo Qubing
Shangguan Qingcheng had thought many times about what would happen when he was defeated, and what kind of battle it would be.
She didn't know when that battle would come.
This time she went to Monan, she came with the determination to win.
In the battle of Hexi, which was destined to shine in the annals of history, she didn't do much, but just followed Li Ye and ate a lot of dust with the army.
Shangguan Qingcheng will not be dissatisfied, but feel pity and regret.
Around Li Ye, more and more masters and capable ministers have gathered. Whether she is willing to admit it or not, the fact is that her weight has been shared.
In the old days when Li Ye was the eldest son, Shangguan Qingcheng was Li Ye's only supporter and the only strength of the other party in the Chang'an Prince's Mansion. At that time, although Shangguan Qingcheng's realm was low, and Li Ye had no cultivation, but every time he recalled it, Shangguan Qingcheng felt that those days were the most comfortable days.
In an unpredictable world, in a world where wars are never extinguished, Shangguan Qingcheng, dressed in iron armor and holding a horizontal knife, stands behind Li Ye. Even if he is weak, it is the last barrier that prevents the storm from threatening Li Ye. It is also Li Ye's first fighter to ride the wind and waves and break the situation forward.
We share weal and woe, life and death depend on each other.
Only she can drive Li Ye, and she will fight for Li Ye to the last moment and shed the last drop of blood.
Whether it's glory or downfall, whether it's standing on the top or falling into the trough, Shangguan Qingcheng believes that he can bear it with Li Ye.
This is her duty and honor as a soldier of the palace, as the guard of His Highness, and it is her life's mission and destination.
Shangguan Qingcheng is proud and proud of this.
For this pride and pride, she can dedicate her life without hesitation.
It's different now.
Li Ye sits in the world, although he doesn't have the name of an emperor, he has the reality of an emperor, his warriors are like a cloud, and his counselors are like a rain. When he frowned, countless warriors would follow him, slashing at his enemies with swords. When he waved his sleeves, countless beauties would flock to him, prostrate at his feet, and offer their most precious things.
Shangguan Qingcheng knew that Shangguan Qingcheng was still the same Shangguan Qingcheng.
Shangguan Qingcheng knew that Li Ye was still the same Li Ye.
Shangguan Qingcheng knows better that what changes is only the world and the situation.
In the face of world affairs and situation, she is no longer Li Ye's only reliance, no longer Li Ye's personal bodyguard, and her battles are no longer closely watched by Li Ye from behind.
And his honor and disgrace are no longer witnessed by her side by side.
Shangguan Qingcheng didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but he felt pity and regret in his heart.
On many quiet nights, when she was dressed neatly, vigorously, and habitually came outside Li Ye's gate, ready to stand guard, she suddenly woke up when she saw the elder and younger commander there. Ye need it like that.
Countless evenings after returning from the military camp, the rare leisure time, she can finally relax, but when she wanted to stand next to Li Ye, watching Li Ye read, practice martial arts, and reverie, she found that Wang An was not familiar with him in the mansion. those places.
The mud army under the big locust tree in the palace has disappeared for more than ten years. Only the yellow leaves of the locust tree drifted away in the evening wind.
She has lived as a soldier and a guard for many years, every bit of her life, besides standing beside Li Ye, is to prepare for standing beside Li Ye better. She devoted all her time and energy to practicing, studying the art of war, and training soldiers.
Outside of this, she has no personal activities, nor any personal preferences.
If she had to say yes, it would be quietly watching Li Ye read books, perform martial arts, and meditate, and that was the leisure time she enjoyed the most.
Now, her only favorite has disappeared. She sat in her own yard in a daze, from dusk to dusk, from night to dawn, silent and motionless like a statue without emotion. When the sun rises and a new day comes, she can only put on her armor again, ride her horse out of the house, and go to the barracks.
So, day after day, year after year.
She never asked Li Ye for anything, and she never even expressed her feelings. She is well aware of the hardships and hardships that His Highness is going through. As His Highness's oldest subordinate and closest arm, even if she can't share His Highness's worries, at least she should have the consciousness not to cause His Highness any trouble.
Fight, fight. As a fighter, she has to fight. A warrior without a fight is nothing.
What famous generals, what military gods, Shangguan Qingcheng just wanted to defeat all powerful enemies. In this way, at the celebration banquet, Li Ye would have a good time with her, and would deliberately smile at her alone.
Warlords should fight in all directions for the monarch and win.
If you can't win, then the warrior will have no survival value.
Even if he barely survives, he will eventually be replaced until he has no place in front of the monarch, until he cannot see the monarch's face, until he is forgotten behind a mountain of official documents.
Shangguan Qingcheng did not want to experience such a moment.
I would rather die in battle than experience it.
