Chapter 137 The Battle of Zhuolu (11)
The army was on the battlefield, and the Yanhuang Tribal Alliance held a grand ceremony to worship the sky.
The altar of sacrifice to heaven is set up in the suburbs of Huangdi City, and is made of huge stones. The altar is square with a length of sides.
Finally, there was a grand dance festival. The wizard took the women of the tribe, dressed in makeup, danced witch dances, sang witch songs, and recited the forbidden spells of birds. The soldiers around him danced the battle formation dance in response to the rhythm of the witch song, which looked extremely spectacular. The players watching were shocked.
Whether it is a witch dance or a battle formation dance, it is extremely simple, but it is just dancing your arms up and down repeatedly, and dancing left and right at the beat. However, when you are really immersed in the scene, you can feel the power of the wilderness, rough and mysterious; you can only experience the wisdom of ancient ancestors, simple and immortal.
"It's really worth this trip!" Bai Hua sighed.
"Yes, even if I didn't get any reward in the end, I personally experienced the ancient heaven sacrifice ceremony, which was worth it." Feng Qiuhuang echoed.
Ouyang Shuo was not as sentimental as these two beauties. He smiled and said, "Is this contentment? What's more exciting is still to come."
The two beauties were very tacit about Ouyang Shuo's incomprehensible character, and they threw him a hygienic eye.
...
After the ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven, Huangdi set up a 120,000 army and launched a troops in Zhuolu, heading straight to Chiyou Village.
As the central army of the Yellow Emperor Tribe, the 30,000 troops of the Yan Emperor Tribe are on the left wing, and the 40,000 troops of the small and medium-sized tribes are on the right wing. As for the 8,000-man Yiman troops, they are located on the far right side of the right wing.
The central army of the Yellow Emperor Tribe used bears, cranes, wolves, leopards, eagles, dragons, owls, etc. as totems to drive beasts to fight, which was the secret weapon of the Yellow Emperor Tribe.
As the representative of Yiren, Ouyang Shuo had the right to arrange the square formation of Yiren troops. He arranged two thousand people from Shanhai League at the innermost side, with a coalition of three thousand people outside, and Di Chen and his troops outside.
The innermost side seems dangerous, but it is conducive to close contact with the soldiers of the Chiyou tribe and earn contribution value. On the contrary, the outermost side of the troops have to fight with the alien legion of the Chiyou camp face to face.
Although Di Chen gritted Ouyang Shuo's teeth hard, he could only swallow his anger.
In ancient times, there were not many strategies for marching and fighting, and they were basically straightforward. The two sides agreed to a place, set up their formations, and with a command, the soldiers of both sides rushed to the opposite side, fighting directly with each other, without any fancy things.
At most, it means taking advantage of climate change, such as heavy rain or drought. For example, the Huangdi tribe used floods to destroy Chiyou City, which was a relatively high-end strategy to take advantage of the terrain.
Chiyou Village is less than ten kilometers away from Huangdi City. When the troops of various tribes gathered in Huangdi City, Chiyou knew about it. Today's large formation cannot escape the investigation of Chiyou tribe.
With Chiyou's temper, how could he tolerate such provocation? He immediately gathered his troops and rushed out of Chiyou's village, and was about to compete with the two emperors Yan and Huang.
More than 200,000 troops from both sides met unexpectedly in the Zhuolu field, with a distance of only one thousand meters. The queues arranged horizontally stretched for several miles, and could not see the edge at a glance.
Huangdi stood on the chariot and shouted loudly to the opposite side: "Chiyou, today is your death."
Chi You was not willing to be outdone and shouted: "Huangdi, don't be able to make a spoil. Who is the overlord of the Central Plains? It will be decided today's battle. Just wait to surrender to me, and you can spare your life at that time."
The eighty-one brothers standing next to Chiyou laughed together, and did their best to mock them.
Emperor Yan couldn't stand it, so he looked at Emperor Huang and said, "Huangdi, give an order."
Huangdi nodded, raised the stone sword in his hand, waved it forward, and said loudly: "Kill!"
"kill!"
The soldiers of both sides roared and rushed to the opposite side. In just one thousand meters, within two minutes, the two sides collided together. In an instant, flesh and blood flew across the river and blood flowed into a river. If you look down from the air, you will find that two torrents were strangling each other on the front line that lasted for several miles, and it was hard to part with each other.
Compared with simple and direct wars between tribes, the battle between the Inhuman Legion is more skillful. The cavalry unit takes the lead in launching a charge, with sword and shield soldiers following closely behind, and then behind, the archers are the archers.
After both sides took over, Ouyang Shuo was careful and ordered Zhang Liao to lead a cavalry unit of 500 people to avoid the Yi Ren Legion opposite, directly insert into the Chiyou tribe diagonally opposite, cooperate with the tribal coalition, and launch a charge. He ordered Mu Guiying to rectify the archers and cover the charge of the cavalry unit.
In this way, Di Chen led his friendly troops to kill Xiongba and others on the opposite side, but Ouyang Shuo led his own line to earn contributions frantically. If it weren't for killing the soldiers of the Yi Ren Legion, he could also make money in the battle contributions. Ouyang Shuo probably Di Chen would go crazy.
The well-equipped cavalry unit unexpectedly tore a hole in the left wing of Chiyou's camp under the double cover of the archers and the tribal coalition. Especially the fifty heavy-armed cavalry running in the front were simply ferocious beasts on earth, like an arrow, tearing the enemies blocking it to pieces. Lin Yi, who was leading the battle, was covered in blood, like a devil walking out of hell.
Although the soldiers of the Chiyou tribe were known for their bravery, they had never seen such a unit. After a little resistance, they were frightened and dared not approach. In this way, a cavalry unit of 500 people shuttled back and forth on the left wing of the Chiyou tribe's 20,000 people, as if they were entering a no-man's land.
Seeing this opportunity, Huangdi made a quick decision and ordered Chang to lead 5,000 people to reinforce the right wing, and strive to destroy the left wing of the Chiyou tribe in one fell swoop.
With Chang Xian's reinforcements, the cavalry led by Zhang Liao was more skilled. Compared with Lin Yi, Zhang Liao's strategic vision and tactical qualities were obviously better. He ordered the troops not to be greedy for merit and not to fight, and to defeat the enemy's large troops as the main goal. As long as he saw signs of gathering, he would immediately break them apart and not allow the other party to regroup the troops.
Seeing that Ouyang Shuo's troops were invincible on the battlefield. Di Chen and Chunshen Jun were not fools. Although the civil war in the Yi Ren Legion could earn contribution value, the loss ratio was too large and the gain was not worth the loss. Both sides actually stopped the battle in a tacit understanding, and each led their own troops to rush towards the other's tribal legion, harvesting contribution value without interfering with each other.
Ouyang Shuo stood aside and saw the strange situation of the Yi Ren Legion, and couldn't help but shake his head. Sure enough, none of the representatives of these major forces were fuel-efficient, and they could easily control it. This time he had the advantage because he relied on the identity of the Yi Ren representative.
Chunshenjun and Zhanlang and others led the Yi Ren Legion to intercept Chang Xian's troops who were coming to reinforce. For a moment, the battlefield fell into a stalemate again.
Since the Yi Ren Legion had stopped fighting, Ouyang Shuo made a quick decision and ordered the remaining Yi Ren Legion to advance forward and cooperate with the previous cavalry units to strangle the left-wing legion of the Chiyou tribe.
The entire battlefield is like a chess game, linked together. Ouyang Shuo took the lead on the right wing, and eventually slowly caused a chain reaction. The Huangdi tribe began to gradually take the initiative in the battlefield.
The troops of both sides fought for a whole day until evening before they stopped their troops.
The originally green field was stained with blood. There were broken arms and limbs everywhere, broken swords, guns, axes and halberds, and all over the ground. Against the setting sun, it looked even more tragic.
Bai Hua and Mulan Yue and other women could not stand the bloody scenes on the battlefield and retreated to the rear early. Even Ouyang Shuo himself, although he had experienced several bandit suppressions before, was still a little uncomfortable when he saw the scene in front of him.
When he retreated, Di Chen passed by Ouyang Shuo and said coldly: "Brother Wuyi, it's so scheming. Di admires it very much."
Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly and said inadvertently: "Thank you for your praise from Brother Di Chen. During the military discussion in the evening, I will report to Huangdi the credit truthfully."
