Chapter 183: Can't Go Back(1/2)
The two armies faced each other, and for Gongsun Zan, victory was already waved to him, so even if the army waited for a long time, it could not dispel his inner joy.
Becoming famous, the opportunity to change the situation is right in front of you!
Gongsun Zan stepped forward and whispered to Pan Feng: "Zihe, I will give you another chance. If you join hands with me now, I will not treat you badly."
With the confidence of the winner, Gongsun Zan threw out an olive branch like Pan Feng.
Gongsun Zan was quite coveted about Pan Feng's ability. Not to mention that there were two generals under him who were in Pan Feng's hands. This alone was enough to show Pan Feng's strength. If Pan Feng could be brought under his command, it would be beneficial to Gongsun Zan without any harm.
Pan Feng didn't know what Gongsun Zan was thinking, but he could roughly guess some of them. I guess Gongsun Zan didn't know that his plan had been seen through.
"Brother Bo Gui was joking. My Lord treated me as much as a mountain. How could I betray my faith? This battle should be a fight with Brother Bo Gui, and life and death will be in peace!"
Gongsun Zan nodded. He actually knew in his heart that Pan Feng would most likely not agree, after all, his loyalty and righteousness are obvious to all.
When we got here, there was nothing more to say on both sides.
Seeing that the army had already been set up and their respective generals were ready to go, Gongsun Zan slowly retreated back into the formation.
On the other hand, under Pan Feng's command, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army had already arrived in front of the formation. Each of them had a shield, and the auxiliary soldiers behind them also brought a small shield with them.
Under Qu Yi's command, the Xuanwu Army soldiers in front rushed forward and set up a formation.
"The ambition of Xuanwu is indestructible!" Qu Yi shouted out the slogan that Pan Feng customized for them.
The thousand Xuanwu Army immediately roared.
"The ambition of Xuanwu is indestructible!"
This scene caused Gongsun Zan and others on the opposite side to shrink their pupils, and a bad premonition arises from the bottom of their hearts. Looking at the appearance of those heavy armored soldiers, it seems that they are about to form a formation on the spot!
So, Pan Feng already knows that he is going to use the Fire Bull Formation? So what is his response?
Gongsun Zan was anxious and his eyes kept sweeping back and forth in front of the Jizhou Army's formation, trying to find out what Pan Feng could do to deal with the Fire Bull Formation.
But he swept through every place of the army, and no other abnormalities were found except for the Jizhou soldiers wearing strong and holding sharp edges.
Didn’t Pan Feng see it?
Gongsun Zan was a little suspicious of his judgment, otherwise why would Pan Feng be unprepared?
You might as well want those heavy armored soldiers holding small shields to resist the Fire Bull Formation?
As soon as this idea appeared in Gongsun Zan's mind, she decisively ruled out.
Just kidding, even a chariot can be smashed to pieces. Why does Pan Feng, the soldiers' flesh and blood body resist the horns of cows? Even if they are wearing heavy armor, how can they remove their powerful impact? I really think that soldiers are as tall as plowing oxes?
Gongsun Zan, who could not see anything Pan Feng was prepared, could only regard the Xuanwu Army soldiers who were in the front as Pan Feng's way of dealing with him. However, Gongsun Zan looked down on Pan Feng's response.
But then I thought about it, the more confident Pan Feng was, the greater the hope of victory in Youzhou Army. If Pan Feng really used other heavy chariots or huge rocks to resist, it was hard to say whether his Fire Bull Formation could defeat the enemy.
"Send the order, the army will spread left and right, and bring out the fire cattle formation!" Gongsun Zan raised his horse spear.
The soldiers behind immediately retreated to both sides and exposed the plowing ox in the formation.
By this time, Gongsun Zan was no longer afraid of Pan Feng running away. Once the Jizhou army, which had already formed a formation, would inevitably be in chaos. When the Fire Bull Formation rushed forward, it might cause the Jizhou army to lose more troops, and even Pan Feng might fall into the chaos.
However, what made Gongsun Zan feel uneasy was that when the Fire Cow Formation came out, Pan Feng did not react at all, but instead lit the plowing ox in the formation talking and laughing.
Sure enough, Pan Feng had known this plan for a long time!
Although Gongsun Zan was uneasy, the arrow was on the string at this time and had to be fired.
"Come on, ignite the fire, and rush to the formation!"
I can only fight for the current plan. I hope Pan Feng only saw the plan of the Fire Bull Formation but did not take enough measures to deal with it. As for those heavy soldiers, Gongsun Zan did not take it seriously.
"Moo! Moo!"
As the ignition objects hanging on the ox's tail were ignited, screams came from the cattle herd, and the first batch of oxen who were ignited were even scared by the fire behind them.
After the first row was moved, the ox behind also followed after the soldiers lit the fire-torn objects.
In this way, row after row, a huge fire bull formation was soon formed.
"Boom!"
A thousand plowing oxes ran a bit like the earth was shaking. Even though the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army knew before they lined up the array that they were facing the crazy plowing ox today, they still swallowed nervously after they met.
"Soldiers, think about your usual training. Can the charge of war horses be carried, can you not bear the horns of the plowing ox?!" Qu Yi's roar came, causing the Xuanwu Army soldiers who were in front to relax.
yes.
Their Xuanwu Army enjoyed almost the highest treatment in the Jizhou Army and also underwent the most harsh training in the Jizhou Army. Especially after Qu Yi saw the strength of the Xuanwu Army in Beihai, he was even more strict with the Xuanwu Army soldiers.
Under normal circumstances, the training of the Xuanwu Army is mostly based on endurance training. After all, any movement after wearing thick heavy armor will consume exponentially. If the endurance is not good, it is easy to happen outside Qiantong County.
Qu Yi is a person who can remember it after suffering losses. He knows that the problem of endurance is a problem that a heavy armored soldier can never solve, but not being able to solve it completely does not mean that the negative effects of endurance cannot be minimized. The easiest way is to improve the soldier's endurance limit.
In addition to endurance, Qu Yi also trained the impact force to withstand Pan Feng's advice, and the best way to train is to let the war horses collide with fully armed Xuanwu soldiers.
At first, there were soldiers who were injured by the impact of the war horses. However, as the fillings in the heavy armor gradually changed and the physical fitness of the soldiers gradually improved, the ordinary war horse impact could no longer cause serious trauma to the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army. At most, it would be temporary discomfort. If the shield could be equipped, the Xuanwu Army would be able to withstand the frontal collision of the war horses.
It is precisely because of this kind of training that when they learned that they wanted to resist the legendary Fire Bull Formation, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army were only nervous but not afraid.
"Boom!"
The plowing ox had rushed to the front of the army. Through the tight helmets, the soldiers of the Xuanwu Army could see the panic and fear in the eyes of the oncoming plowing ox.
"Moo! Moo!"
The plowing ox was panicked and did not stop when he met the Xuanwu soldiers. Instead, he aimed the horns of the ox below at the Xuanwu soldiers blocking the road.
At this time, any obstacle that prevented him from escaping from the flame would be smashed to pieces.
The two sides were about to contact, and the generals and soldiers of the two armies could not help but look at the confrontational sides.
Especially for the Youzhou Army, for Gongsun Zan, whether the Fire Bull Formation can break through the formation of the Jizhou Army directly determines the life and death of the people under his command. Even though Pan Feng has noticed that the Fire Bull Formation may have taken corresponding measures, Gongsun Zan cannot think of how the flesh and blood body of a person can resist the sharpness of the Fire Bull Formation.
Just as both sides were looking forward to each other, the plowing ox collided with the Xuanwu soldiers.
"Bang!Bang!Bang!"
The dense collision sounded almost at the same time, and the first row of oxen finally collided with the shields of the Xuanwu soldiers.
For a moment, Pan Feng saw a little loosening of the solid defense line formed by the Xuanwu Army, and several Xuanwu Army soldiers were pushed back.
This scene was seen by Gongsun Zan, which made him scream in surprise.
"How is that possible!"
Gongsun Zan's eyes widened, and looked at the Xuanwu Army who were quickly regaining their formation, and his heart was filled with questions.
How can a flesh and blood body beat the fierce plowing ox?
He couldn't figure it out, and Gongsun Ji, Tian Kai and others on the side could not figure it out either.
What about the promise to win? What about the promise to win?
Why can't even break out of the first layer of military formation? Are those heavy armored soldiers really that strong?
Gongsun Zan couldn't believe his eyes, but it was true that the first batch of oxen were forcibly blocked by human forces.
"Brother, how can our army be able to compete with the Jizhou Army as brave as this?" Gongsun Fan couldn't help asking.
The first collision almost made him lose confidence. With such a force in Pan Feng, even if the Youzhou Army fights all over, it will not be able to beat him!
However, Gongsun Zan ignored his words and stared at the second batch of plowing oxen.
Although the first batch of plowing oxen did not break through the defense line, it also knocked back many soldiers. This is the time when the defense line is weak. Even if the Jizhou army can quickly stabilize the defense line, can the soldiers who have been hit once withstand the second impact?
Gongsun Zan knew very well what would happen if the person hit by high speed would be. After all, there were many alien races that he killed with a war horse. Most of those people were shocked to death by the powerful impact force, and the impact force was unpredictable by heavy armor!
At the same time, Jizhou Army.
"Stay! Quickly stabilize the defense line!"
Qu Yi stood in the formation and shouted loudly. He could see clearly than anyone else without facing the horns.
When the plowing ox first collided, the defense line of the Xuanwu soldiers had already loosened, especially those where they were knocked back, there was a chance to let the plowing ox rush into the formation.
Fortunately, the plowing ox was not that good when it hit the shield of the Xuanwu Army. The originally powerful rush was stopped, and several plowing ox even fainted on the spot with four hooves.
Under the collision of the ox, the straight line of defense has become a wavy shape. If it is not consolidated, the line of defense may collapse directly after the next collision.
Taking advantage of the dizziness of the first batch of oxen, Qu Yi quickly asked the Xuanwu Army soldiers to set up their positions, and those who were injured would pull them to the back.
After doing all this, the second batch of plowing oxen rushed up, but many of their strongest impacts fell on the first batch of plowing oxen. The poor first batch of plowing oxen was just knocked out, and he was instantly knocked away by his companions behind him.
Seeing that the second batch of plowing oxen were also aggressive, without waiting for Qu Yi to speak, Pan Feng asked the crossbowmen behind the Xuanwu Army to shoot arrows indiscriminately in front of the Xuanwu Army formation.
"Swish swish swish!"
The crossbowman who was ready was shot out the arrow diagonally upwards. After falling, most of them landed at the place where the Xuanwu Army collided with the plowing ox.
For the Xuanwu Army soldiers wearing heavy armor, these arrows are not seriously injured even if they fall on them. However, for the crazy plowing ox, each arrow shot under the skin will cause them great pain. If they hit the eye and nose, the plowing ox will directly lose its combat effectiveness.
"Moo! Moo! Moo!"
The screams of the plowing ox sounded, and some of the plowing ox fell to the ground unsteadily after being shot by an arrow. In an instant, the neck fractured and fell to the ground.
Just one round of shooting caused most of the oxen to lose their strongest rush, but there were also some oxen who were rough and thick-skinned or lucky. After being shot into the unfatal parts by arrows, they rushed forward like crazy, almost overwhelming the Xuanwu soldiers who came to meet it.
"Stop!" Pan Feng immediately ordered the crossbowman to stop shooting.
To be continued...
