Chapter 1046: The Strange Road of Iron Pagoda
Jin Wushu was instantly chilled to the extreme. Not only did the opponent prepare a tactic specifically targeting the Iron Pagoda, but this tactic also achieved absolutely outstanding results.
“This is impossible!”
At this moment, Jin Wushu's eyes were full of disbelief. Yue Fei actually knew more about Iron Pagoda than he did.
Before this, he had never thought that Iron Pagoda could be dealt with in this way.
But Jin Wushu soon came to his senses. This was a battlefield and there were not so many moments that surprised him.
"Kill!" But Jin Wushu did not choose to retreat. Instead, he burst out his internal energy once again and attacked forward.
Although Yue Fei's response was unexpected, he still has the advantage on the situation.
The first wave of charge knocked away more than a thousand Beiwei soldiers. Even though Yue Fei's counterattack tactics were sophisticated, the Iron Buddha lost only more than 700 people.
He still has the advantage in terms of battle losses, not to mention that Murong Ke and others are behind him, so he has no reason to retreat!
"Haha, everything is under control!" Yue Fei sneered. Jin Wushu's reaction was completely within his expectations.
"Loosen the formation and let the Iron Pagoda fall in!" Yue Fei waved the military flag in his hand, and the grassroots officers of the Beiwei Army quickly passed the order to all the soldiers.
As the military flag continued to shake, a crack naturally appeared in the infantry phalanx of the Beiwei Army. The Iron Pagoda led by Jin Wushu thought that they had torn a hole in the battle line and couldn't wait to get into the gap that Yue Fei had created.
The original square formation became concave under the impact of the Iron Pagoda, but now it naturally dispersed, and the entire formation turned into a V-shaped formation, and then directly changed into a goose-shaped formation.
It is extremely difficult for many generals to change the formation quickly before a battle, but for Yue Fei, it is not a difficult task.
Especially since they had received prior training, Jin Wushu led most of the Iron Buddhas and broke through the infantry line of the Beiwei Army before the Huns could fully react.
"Kill!" Yue Fei's order rang out, and the Beiwei soldiers automatically split up and took out their battle axes and sabers, chopping at Tiefutu's horse legs.
For a moment, many Iron Pagodas were thrown to the ground. Once they were no longer metallized, they were hit by several explosive arrows.
The losses of Tiefutu skyrocketed in an instant.
"Charge out!" Jin Wushu snorted coldly and didn't care. He had already prepared himself mentally for the loss before he wanted to eat the military soul.
After all, the opponent is the Military Soul Legion. Even if they have the advantage, it is impossible to win without any injuries.
But he was finally able to break through the defense line. When he rushed out to reorganize the formation and turned his horse around again, the Beiwei army would die a miserable death.
He admitted that if it were only him and Tiefutu today, they would probably have died a miserable death, because even if they broke through the Beiwei Army's defense line, with the ability shown by the other side, it would be no problem for them to turn around and block their attack again.
They were strong at first, but weak at second. It would be almost impossible to break through the defense line of Beiwei Army for the second time. After being caught in a melee, Tiefutu would die in a very ugly way.
The only option he had was probably to run away, which was also the biggest advantage of cavalry over heavy infantry. The initiative was always in their hands.
But he was not alone today. Although the cavalry behind him was not as strong as the Iron Pagoda, it was enough to contain the Beiwei Army.
By the time he turned his horse around and charged again, the Beiwei army would be doomed.
Yue Fei's face was full of grimness. In his eyes, Jin Wushu was already a dead man. If Jin Wushu chose to dismount and join in the melee, he might still have a chance of survival. He also planned to rush out to gather the troops. What a fool.
Jin Wushu actually thought that he really broke out.
But it’s good, Yue Fei is very satisfied with Jin Wushu’s stupidity. Only when the opponent is stupid enough can the victory come more thoroughly.
If Yue Fei had not taken the Hun cavalry behind him into consideration, he could have locked Jin Wushu in the infantry position and then used the cavalry to directly pierce the Iron Buddha's anus.
But it doesn't make any difference, Jin Wushu's choice was also within Yue Fei's expectations.
"Swish!" A legion attack was launched by Yue Fei.
Gao Chong and Yue Yun, who were far behind the mountain pass, looked up instantly and exchanged glances after seeing the signal from the legion's attack.
According to the secret code they had agreed upon in advance, this signal meant that the enemy was at the mountain pass and they should rush over and crush them.
"Charge with all your strength! The enemy is right ahead, crush them!" Yue Yun roared.
All the Beiwei cavalrymen silently pulled down their armor, then squeezed their legs together, and instantly drove their horses to charge at full speed.
The Iron Pagoda is indeed the world's top heavy cavalry, but the Beiwei cavalry with the military spirit is also one of the super heavy cavalry.
The two sides confronted each other. Perhaps the Beiwei cavalry was no match, but the Tiefutu now had no room to charge.
Cavalry without speed is nothing more than infantry on horseback.
At this time, Kublai Khan and Murong Ke had already realized that something was wrong. It seemed that the Iron Buddha did not kill the enemy, but was directly trapped and surrounded by the enemy.
"Take action, rush over and support Jin Wushu!" Kublai Khan shouted. Murong Ke showed a surprised expression. He was about to shout, but he didn't expect Kublai Khan to be faster than him.
With such strategic vision, it is no wonder that Temujin valued so much.
"Shoot!" The moment the shout was made, the Eagle Shooting Army, who had already held their arrows, all used their short bows to shoot arrows at an unimaginable speed.
More than 30,000 arrows burst out in an instant. Although they were shot from short bows, their power was not weaker than that of normal long bows. Moreover, their fixed positions showed that these archers had terrifying qualities.
They can be regarded as soldiers who have inherited all the riding and archery techniques of the Huns, and are also an elite legion passed down through the military spirit.
Anyway, they had put in a lot of effort to give birth to the Parthian Empire, so it was not excessive for Temujin to take advantage of them.
Arrows fell on the heads of the Beiwei Infantry Corps like raindrops, but the heavy mountains that had been floating like an illusion finally showed their effect.
The arrows were bounced off one after another as if they had fallen on some barrier. Yue Fei had made sufficient preparations, so how could he not guard against the rain of arrows, which was his only weakness?
Yes, for the heavy infantry Beiwei Army, long-range attacks are a big weakness.
Of course, to reach a certain level of ranged legions, ordinary archer legions, they can ignore the baptism of arrow rain with the armor on their bodies.
They put all their talents into anti-cavalry, so a relatively stronger long-range legion could cause them considerable trouble.
"Humph, there are still smart people among the Huns! But it's too late!"
Yue Fei planted the big flag on the ground, and then commanded the soldiers holding spears to form a spear formation behind the shield soldiers.
This thing is not very useful for heavy cavalry, so when dealing with the Iron Pagoda before, he mainly used the battle axe, but against these cavalry, this kind of spear formation is very useful.
"Charge!" Although Oboi didn't know what was happening, he had always followed Kublai Khan. Since Kublai Khan asked them to charge, they charged.
The Eight Banners cavalry charged wildly and faced the Beiwei Army.
"bite!"
Aobai swung his spear and smashed it towards the opposite side, just like Jin Wushu did before , but the touch he felt in the next moment and the huge force that came back to him startled Aobai so much that he subconsciously broke the spear tip.
“Hehe, just because Jin Wushu can rush over, it doesn’t mean you can do it too!” Yue Fei calmly pulled out a javelin and threw it towards Oboi.
Oboi dodged Yue Fei's throwing attacks in a panic and was horrified to find that the Beiwei Army that had been defeated by the Iron Pagoda before was now like a solid wall of steel. The charge of the Eight Banners Cavalry had not even shaken the Beiwei Army's phalanx.
"How is this possible!" Aoba's pupils reflected incredible fear. Even though the Eight Banners Cavalry were assault cavalry, they had the upper hand against the Roman heavy infantry legions on the battlefield before.
The defense lines arranged by the Roman heavy infantry usually collapsed at a clearly visible speed the moment of initial contact, or even worse, were directly knocked away.
In most cases, they were almost invincible, which was why he chose to charge into the formation without hesitation after hearing Kublai Khan's roar.
Because they were also good at breaking the formation, but the motionless Beiwei Army in front of them seemed to be mocking Aobai's sitting in the celestial observation hall.
Yue Fei watched Murong Ke and Aobai's attack calmly. The Mongolian cavalry that he had been worried about did not appear. It was pure dreaming for these legions to break through the Beiwei Army's defense line.
In that case, he will be the first to win.
He no longer cared about Jin Wushu behind him. In his eyes, Jin Wushu was already a dead man. The only reason he put Gao Chong behind him was to let Jin Wushu die peacefully.
However, Yue Fei did not feel happy too soon. He knew that the reason why he could feel so relaxed was because of the contempt of the Huns.
As well as Jin Wushu's greed, and the ulterior motives among the various Xiongnu tribes.
But when Jin Wushu is hacked to death, the enraged Huns will gather all their forces to launch an attack, and that will be the real test.
But before that, he felt it necessary to let Oboi and others know what kind of army the Beiwei Army was.
"Throw!" Yue Fei roared.
The next moment, Beiweijun pulled out a pistol from behind and threw it fiercely in the direction in front of him.
The violent force brought with it a sharp sound of the air being torn apart the moment the pistol flew out, and the Eight Banners Cavalry and the Former Yan Army almost simultaneously waved their weapons to block.
However, facing the Beiwei Army's javelins that almost combined will and quality, even if the two legions relied on blocking to wipe out most of the power, the remaining power was enough to severely damage the soldiers who were hit.
Strength is something that is impossible to solve after a certain level!
As an all-round military force, the Beiwei Army may be at a disadvantage against other infantry, but when facing cavalry, they are the true gods of restraint.
The military soul torn off from the Huns possesses distinct cavalry attributes, which troubled Yue Fei very much, but as he studied the military soul more deeply.
He used this attribute in reverse and directly gave the Beiwei Army the ability to counter cavalry.
As one of the most powerful cavalry in the world, the Xiongnu were almost at the top of the cavalry, which also brought the Beiwei Army's ability to counter cavalry to its peak.
Perhaps only the Legion of Miracles can eliminate this counterattack, otherwise almost all cavalry will be restrained by the Beiwei Army.
Jin Wushu was originally wondering why Yue Fei did not have any follow-up measures. Although the fight was only short, he knew that Yue Fei's understanding of Iron Pagoda might be even deeper than his.
The other side actually let him rush out to reorganize their formation. Does this mean that Yue Fei's ability has reached its limit, or does he have other plans?
Just as he was wondering, a galloping sound came from deep in the mountain pass, which seemed even clearer and more terrifying in this environment.
"kill!"
Yue Yun withdrew his gaze from Jin Wushu, and the sledgehammer slowly fell down, pointing at the Iron Pagoda. With a roar, the 4,000 cavalrymen of the Beiwei Army all roared wildly, increasing their speed once again and launched an attack towards the Iron Pagoda.
At this moment, the roar of four thousand elite soldiers was as loud as thunder, and as powerful as the surging Yangtze River. They charged towards the Iron Pagoda with an indomitable momentum.
They were already charging at full speed, and the places where they were stationed in advance had also been measured, so that they could launch a charge at the most appropriate time and maximize the power of the unity of man and horse.
"Oh no!" Jin Wushu felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The Iron Pagoda was already in the middle of a chaotic adjustment process of turning around, and at this moment a cavalry unit unexpectedly rushed out from there.
At this time Jin Wushu finally understood why he was able to kill so easily, and Yue Fei did not take any subsequent action.
It turned out that he had completely fallen into Yue Fei's trap.
Although the War Eagle's reconnaissance confirmed that there were no other legions ambushing nearby, the War Eagle had no way of telling the Huns about the specific personnel allocation.
Bai Ma's interruption of their reconnaissance ultimately had an impact on their intelligence.
However, 12,000 infantry and 8,000 infantry and 4,000 cavalry were of no significance to the Hun army. The gap in military strength between the two sides was too great.
But this was also the biggest preparation for digging a good grave for Jin Wushu.
"Kill!" The situation was critical. Jin Wushu took a deep breath and planned to turn the situation around with his own bravery.
Military situations are something that can only be brought to their full potential in adverse circumstances.
"Whoever stands in my way will die!" Jin Wushu's roar saved Tiefutu from the brink of panic. Jin Wushu's charge forward instantly ignited Tiefutu's fighting spirit.
"Kill!" Although they were no longer within the distance to charge, they still drove their horses and followed Jin Wushu to launch an attack.
Jin Wushu swung his heavy spear and smashed it at the opposite side. The sound of the wind caused by the heavy force when swinging the spear even had a hissing feeling. The huge force almost crushed the Beiwei soldiers in front of him.
After all, the strength of the boundary-breaking generals is not something that ordinary soldiers can resist, even the military soul soldiers.
Then, just when Jin Wushu was about to succeed, a long spear shot out from the side and blocked Jin Wushu's attack.
"Your opponent is me!" Gao Chong showed a terrifying smile.
