078、There is a premeditated plan

After the pig dragon came ashore, there was no threat, so Wu Hui left them all in the water sieve in the rear to assist in the transportation and protection of the logistics supply fleet. When the military formation of the Chongchen tribe was lined up, another strange beast, Red Armored Beast, was at the forefront.

The red-armored beast is not a natural strange beast. It is actually a kind of Gu beast. It is specially cultivated and fed with Jiuli's secret method of raising Gu. It is about one person tall, six feet, covered with dark red armor. The edges of the shell are sharp thorns. The armor is spread out and can extend the film-like wings, and it can also glide and fly for a short distance.

If you master the secret of Jiuli's witchcraft and are willing to invest enough, it would not be difficult to cultivate and feed such a red-armored beast. However, Wu Hui arranged more than 80 adult red-armored beasts in front of the battle formation, which would not be a day or night. It can be seen that the Chongchen tribe has been secretly feeding red-armored beasts on a large scale for many years, and it is obvious that he has been preparing to deal with Jiuli.

What is the biggest difficulty in dealing with Jiuli? That is the strange and difficult witchcraft of the witch masters in Jiuli. Many witch masters are good at using poison and can drive all kinds of unexpected poisonous insects and beasts. If ordinary warriors are sent to charge at the forefront, they will often die inexplicably before they even rushed to the other side.

The strong armor of the Red Armor Beast can withstand arrow shooting and charge extremely quickly. More importantly, they can fight against most of the toxins used by the Witch Man. Even if they are poisoned, they can continue to charge without losing their combat effectiveness immediately. The Red Armor Beast also has another characteristic: it can withstand high temperatures in a short period of time and can break through the blockade of the raging fire.

The main purpose of placing out the red-armored beast is not to prevent Jiuli from using fire attack, but it just means that Wu Hui intends to use fire attack. Most of the various poisonous insects and beasts driven by Jiuli Wu Gong are afraid of fire. Many strange and invisible toxins will also be gone in the fire. Use fire attack to attack the civil war formation, and Wu Hui's red-armored beasts can still kill them against the fire.

The Chongchen tribe has annexed the Benli tribe and obtained the inheritance of the Jiuli secret technique. Of course, it has also made targeted preparations. The Chongchen tribes will not practice the Jiuli secret technique on a large scale, but they secretly cultivated and fed the pig dragon and the red armored beast on a large scale. After many years of planning, they finally waited for today's battle.

Huwa has commanded thousands of troops and is proficient in military tactics. When he looks at the formation set up by the Chongchen Division, he doesn't have to wait for both sides to really take action, and he already knows how Wu Hui thinks about this battle. Chongchen Division has taken the lead in strategy and is arranged nearly perfectly in tactical terms. If he wants to find any weakness, the number of main forces seems to be a little smaller, and Wu Hui only brought ten military formations.

The military formation on Bayuan followed the organization of the Yan Emperor era. Seven people were a small team and seven teams were a military formation. One army leader and two deputy army leader were set up, with a total of fifty-one people.

The military formation in the Central Plains was organized in the Huangdi era. Five people were a small team, including a sergeant commander, and two five-man teams cooperated to form a ten-man team, just like a pair of hands, and the sergeant commander was the thumb. The ten-man team had a captain who commanded the ten soldiers under him, and a total of eleven people formed a basic combat unit.

The ten basic combat units were organized into a military formation, with the commander-in-chief and the total number of troops in a military formation was 111. Then the total number of soldiers in Wu Hui's military formation was 1,110, plus the commander's personal guards and the generals, there were about 1,200 people.

For a tribe, this is already a large-scale armed force, and the rear must be equipped with a logistics and supplies team with several times more people. It can be regarded as a mobilization of the clan, and all young and strong must go into battle. However, the Chongchen tribe is not an ordinary tribe. If it really mobilizes the clan, it will be enough to send more than twenty reorganized military formations.

Since Wu Hui had a stance to force Jiuli to form a decisive battle, and was caught off guard, he should concentrate all his strength. As long as he defeated the Jiuli army in front of him, it would be difficult for the Jiuli tribes to stop the Chongchen tribe's invasion. Why didn't Wu Hui do this? Either the logistics could not keep up, after all, he fought over Yunmeng Giant Sect, or there was another reason.

Let’s look at the army on Jiuli’s side. The number of troops is more than twice that of the Chongchen division. They are all elite soldiers from each village gathered. Jiuli’s military formation is not as unified as Chongchen. Instead, it uses each village as the basic unit, and different tribal village soldiers are combined to form combat squads that can cooperate and support each other.

The natal insects or insect beasts raised by the people were originally very private, but they have been sent to the battle formation at this moment. Various strange poisonous insects and beasts look numb. If they encounter unprepared enemies, they can scare the other party to death.

Most of the people who cultivate the Gu insects are the Feili tribe, plus a small number of Gu Li tribes and Shanli tribes. More soldiers of the Shanli tribe practice another secret technique, similar to the method of swallowing the form, possessing various strange abilities that ordinary people do not possess, and are the main force in melee battles.

The Qili Department is good at making various weapons and manipulating various long-range weapons behind the formation. The Muli Department is good at fortifications and has built trenches, low embankments and various traps on the front, and cooperated with the various poisons cast by the Guli Department.

The Chongchen army arrived very suddenly, but looking at the military formations set up by Jiuli tribes, it was obvious that they had already prepared and were definitely not hastily assembled against the enemy.

When Shaofu fights the national war, he must have long-term material reserves, logistics organization, military mobilization and training in advance. Although the current war is not as large as the national war in Bayuan, such a battle formation cannot be pulled out in a short period of time. Huwa sighed secretly. Whether it is Chongchen or Jiuli, the two sides should have wanted to start a war long ago.

The Jiuli army directly commanded the battle formation in front and rushed to Shan Lihua. Fei Liwang, who was looking at the enemy's formation in the back, immediately said to the generals with divine thoughts: "Be careful that the opponent uses fire to attack, and the red-armored beasts cannot rush into the formation!"

Shan Liqi originally wanted to kill the poisonous insects and beasts first, but seeing this, he ordered the strange insects and beasts to be retreated to the trenches on both sides of the battle formation and the rear of the first line of defense, and ordered the Li army, who operated large-scale weapons, to prepare. The soldiers of the villages of Shan Li tribe were at the forefront to protect, and the army immediately changed its formation.

Gu Lizhong flew into the air with a long staff and shouted, "Wu Hui, why did you lead the army to invade me Jiuli?" Before the war officially started, there were still a few words on the scene, which was to encourage the morale of the army, and to lay the groundwork for the emperor's future mediation and judgment.

Wu Hui is nearly a hundred years old, but his head is not white, slightly bald, and the beards around his forehead and under his jaw are yellow. He rode on a tall giant rhino and shouted loudly: "Gu Li Zhong, where is my son Shao Jiachen? I heard that he is dead. The slaves in the Chongchen territory who killed him were fled to Jiuli and are protected by you.

I'm here to avenge my son, but you refuse to hand over the murderer, and you still have to gather a large army to start a war? I've said a long time ago, either hand over the person I want, or I will wipe out Jiuli. Do you really want to let Jiuli and all the people be buried with you in order to hide the murderer?"

Gu Li Zhong raised his staff in the air, and someone pushed out more than a hundred cars, arranged in front of the formation like a long dragon, and the car was full of corpses. The great witch shouted in grief and anger: "Wu Hui! Shao Jiachen harmed the remaining people of Ben Li, and Ben Liugang had to assassinate him. Now they apologize for their death, and if they had already given the explanation, they had already given the explanation.

But your cruelty is even more cruel than Young Jiachen. You are actually doing this to massacre villages and destroy clans, and even women and children are not spared! Do you really think that I, the people, can be bullied?"

Wu Hui looked a little stunned. Unexpectedly, Jiuli pushed out so many corpses in front of the formation, and saw that the people of the Benliu Village were dead. He thought that Jiuli took the initiative to kill these people so that he had no excuse to start a war, but it was obvious that Feng was wrong when he heard Gu Li Zhong's words.

Before Wu Hui could react, Fei Liwang, who was behind the battle formation, shouted again: "Wu Hui, you have already killed all the tribes of Benliu Village. Wouldn't you give up? Today, you led a large army to come? It is fake to avenge Shao Jiachen, it is obvious that you want to take the opportunity to invade my Jiuli land!"

Wu Hui almost choked, but in anger he laughed: "You are so shameless that you killed someone yourself, but you want to frame me! If these people die, is the matter over? Even if I kill them, so what if they should die! Hand over the person who is planning behind the scenes, otherwise you will be buried here today..."

The person behind the scenes? Huwa frowned slightly when he heard this. Wu Hui seemed to have found that there was something else in the death of Shao Jiachen, so this person seemed to be referring to him. If Huwa did not come, Jiuli would not be able to hand over this person no matter what. At this time, Fei Liwang looked at Huwa again, hoping that he would come forward and say a few words.

But Huwa stood beside Fei Liwang and remained silent, as if he had made up his mind to watch coldly. At this time, Shan Lihua in front of the formation shouted again: "Wu Hui, if you want to fight, then fight. If you don't fight, hand over the murderer and retreat immediately!"

Wu Hui stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand forward, and the battle formation began to charge. Huwa had never seen any strange rushing tactics before. As a result, such a large-scale charge would feel that the earth was shaking slightly, but there was not much movement at this moment. The six legs of the red-armored beasts ran fast, and their huge bodies were very light, as if they were floating over with a buzzing sound.

The death of Shao Jiachen was indeed just an excuse. Even if the bodies of all the tribes of Benliu Village were placed in front of the formation, even if Huwa came forward to explain the situation that day, it would be impossible to stop the battle again. The five great witches of Jiuli, who actually dealt with the corpses of Benliu Village in this way, made Huwa feel very uncomfortable.

Not only the Red Armored Beasts rushed over, but a group of monks followed behind the Red Armored Beasts. These monks also had at least three levels of cultivation. Some of them worked together to cast spells and ignited a hot fire in the air. Some people also raised many ignition objects into the sky, rolled up a layer of burning fire curtains above the battlefield, and landed towards the Jiuli battle formation. Wu Hui did use fire attacks.

The first line of defense of the Jiuli Battle Formation was not a trench dug in advance, but the one hundred vehicles that had just been pushed out. The red-armored beast had already rushed to the front of the car. At this moment, a sudden burst sound came from a puff, a puff burst. Many flesh and blood of the corpses exploded, and blue gray or even light pink mist appeared, and many strange bugs emerged.

There was another part of the corpse, which suddenly stood up from the car under the control of a strange secret technique, pounced on the enemy and tried to hug him tightly.

Huwa's eyes twitched slightly, and the people of the Benli Village were still in peace after their death, and their bodies became tools and weapons. When these corpses were pushed to the front of the formation, Huwa saw that the Jiuli soldiers in the formation were all angry and hatred, and their hearts were filled with fighting spirits, and they all felt an unbearable humiliation.

The bodies of the Benliu Village tribe were first used to boost the morale of the soldiers, and then became the first line of defense for the battle formation. Such a strange method would be enough to defeat the opponent's charge if it encountered an ordinary military formation.

Unfortunately, this threat to the red-armored beasts was not great. As soon as the corpses exploded or were expelled, the fire curtain in the air fell, and the row of vehicles turned into a fire wall, and only a few red-armored beasts were tripped, and most of the red-armored beasts rushed through the fire wall.

The fire curtain in the air was controlled by the monks, like a sea of ​​fire rolling towards the Jiuli Battle Formation. Shan Lihua, Qi Ligan stood in the military formation and waved his bone staff. A group of great witches around also worked together to cast spells. A strong wind surged from the ground and swept towards the fire curtain, and flames rushed into the sky. Most of the flames did not fall into the formation, and the red-armored beast had already rushed through the first line of defense.

In front of the battle formation was a trench. When the flames fell into the trench, it lit up black smoke and strange hissings. Although Shan Liefeng removed many insects and beasts, some of them were left in front of the formation. These insects and beasts were attacked by fire. At the same time, a row of fences with spikes suddenly erected behind the trench, which emerged from the ground, and were designed to block the attack on the formation.

Some red-armored beasts hit the fence, while some red-armored beasts flew directly over, and the fence was immediately ignited into another firewall. In any case, the charge of the red-armored beasts was delayed, which made it difficult for the Chongchen army to follow up the charge.

The Jiuli Battle Formation also launched a counterattack, and saw a living creature flying in the air, including huge flying insects and strange birds. The insects and birds that flew lower and slower were ignited by the fire curtain in the air, and those who flew higher and faster passed through, and a rain of arrows greeted them.

Chongchen's army used the Red Armored Beast as the vanguard, and the monks followed up to cast spells and set fire. Among these monks, there were archers with short swords on their waists. The archers shot arrows at the Jiuli Army through the fire curtain, and at this moment they all shot arrows into the air. When Jiuli's flying insect beasts launched a counterattack, some Chongchen's monks also rolled the flames into the sky.

The battle was three-dimensional. The Red Armored Beast had already rushed to the front of the battle formation. The soldiers of the Qili tribe also launched long-range attacks. Ordnances such as crossbow cannons shot out heavy crossbow arrows and huge rocks. They could kill the Red Armored Beast, and they could also attack the monks and archers of the Chongchen tribe at the other end of the fire curtain. The shouts and screams gradually sounded.

It is difficult to completely stop the Red Armored Beast's rushing formation by relying solely on long-range weapons such as crossbows. Many soldiers from the Shanli tribe roared, and all kinds of strange totem patterns appeared on their bodies. They all rushed towards the Red Armored Beast with weapons. Seeing their fighting cooperation, it looked like hunting large beasts in the mountains.

A soldier from Feili tribe not far from Huwa did not rush forward to fight, but suddenly screamed and sat on the ground. It turned out that his natal insect was killed in front of him.

Look at the archers in the Chongchen tribe, they dressed very strangely, covered with animal skins, their heads and faces were covered, leaving only a small gap to reveal their noses and eyes, their nostrils were stuffed, and they also contained things in their mouths. It seemed that they were to prevent poisonous insects from being attacked, and at the same time they were also to prevent poisonous smoke. After all, fire attack cannot solve all poisonous substances.

Some archers were shooting arrows, but were suddenly hit by a huge rock thrown from mid-air. Some archers suddenly threw away the bows and arrows in their hands, rolling and screaming and tearing their clothes. Many poisonous insects still crossed the defense line, either from the sky or from the ground. No matter how tightly the clothes of these archers were wrapped, there were always gaps to drill.

The battle is not a wave of charge, but a battle is just a mob without organization. People's physical strength is always limited, and the situation on the battlefield is constantly changing, and attacks are needed to take turns. Chongchen is the main attack and Jiuli is the main defense, just like a big wave is beating the embankment, with sometimes a collapse gap and then blocking it.
