Chapter 456 Morning Light

The morning light was dim, and the distant horizon was covered with a halo.

Zhao Shuang stood on the hillside, standing on a high place. In the midwinter morning, there was a chill in the air. With a gentle breath, the cold and biting feeling hit his body, as if his entire body was frozen. .

The large banner behind him rustled in the wind, while the surrounding soldiers were hurriedly distributing arrows and forming formations with chariots. Zhao Shuang turned around and saw Bai Lu holding a knife and walking slowly towards the hillside.

"My lord, the sentries are here to report that Leonard's 100,000 horsemen are already heading here."

Zhao Shuang nodded and gave instructions.

"Form up the chariots and stand in the plains to block the enemy's cavalry. The warriors are in front and the archers are behind. Then send a thousand elite soldiers to occupy the ridges on both sides, and set up the formation with ballistae on top."

"What about behind the array?"

This time was far different from that of Gubiqi. The opponent's numbers were much larger, and therefore, their rear was particularly dangerous.

"Let the disciples of the Mo family accompany the army to garrison, then deploy the chariots at the rear, and deploy a thousand archers behind to stop the Hu cavalry from attacking."

"promise!"

As the sun rose, a sense of warmth came, and a sound came to Zhao Shuang's ears.

"coming!"

With a shout of peace, Zhao Shuang looked around. In front of the Qin army's formation, on the plain in the distance, a group of scouts was returning.

Behind them, followed a large group of Huqi.

Scouts are the eyes and ears of the army and are the elite of the army. The weapons and mounts they are equipped with are all top-notch in the army.

He is a scout in the Yulin army and rides a prairie tiger cavalry. Relying on the rapidity of the war horses, few people can stop them in this barbarian land.

But at this moment, the speed of Hu Qi behind them was not at all slower than that of the Yu Lin Army's scouts. On the contrary, he was even catching up little by little.

If this trend continues, before the Yulin Army's scouts have time to return to their own formation, they will be overtaken by this group of horsemen, entangled and eliminated.

Zhao Shuang narrowed his eyes. The other party wanted to wipe out all the scout troops and demoralize the Yulin army.

"Limang!"

At this time, the giants from the Zhu Rong Department who were staying next to Zhao Shuang got the order. Li Mang understood the situation at this moment and understood what Zhao Shuang wanted him to do?

"Good!"

Limang waved his hand, and more than two hundred giants around Gaopo picked up the javelin from behind. The giants came to the front of the formation and all the soldiers moved out of the way.

I saw flames rising above the javelins, and more than two hundred flaming javelins flew out from the hands of the giants, spanning a long distance, dividing the cavalry on the distant land into two.

More than two hundred javelins were inserted into the soil, dividing the earth into two. Hu Qi's horse was frightened, and his pursuit was halted.

At this moment, the scout troops got an opening and quickly distanced themselves from the chasing Hu Qi.

The scout army entered the Qin army's array, and the soldiers closed the army array and closed the chariot array.

The scouts entered the formation directly. Xin Zhao got off his horse, walked up the high slope, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so dangerous!" Xin Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Your Majesty, this Hu Qi's mount is extraordinary, I have never seen it in my life."

The grassland tiger colt is already a rare war horse in this world, but the speed of this war horse under the barbarian's seat is even faster than the grassland tiger colt.

Zhao Shuang smiled, glanced at Zhao Xin beside him, and shook his hand gently.

"Sooner or later, it's all ours."

Xin Zhao said with joy on his face and cupped his hands.

"My subordinates will prepare now."

In the distance, the pursuing Hu cavalry troops stopped their pursuit, and the large army soon arrived.

One hundred thousand barbarians spread out on the plains, like dark clouds covering the sky, surging and turning, capable of swallowing everything.

The owner of these 100,000 Huqi walked up to the rows of javelins with a solemn look on his face. This unusual sight told Leonard that the Qin army in front was not simple.

The leader of the elite cavalry, who was also Leonard's marching adjutant, clapped his horse forward and came to Leonard's side.

"It looks like you missed it."

"The mounts of the Qin army scouts are elite, but compared with the golden-blooded horses we got from Dawan, they are still a little inferior. If it weren't for the javelins suddenly shot out of the formation, they wouldn't be able to escape."

Leonard smiled.

"Making excuses is not your style, Atuda."

The marching adjutant lowered his head. He did not annihilate the Qin army's scout troops before the battle, and he was indeed holding a breath in his heart.

"How's the situation?"

"Da Xihou, the Qin army's array is indeed the same as Luwei Mountain, and the opponent's generals chose similar terrain. They occupied the ridges on both sides, deployed their ballistae, and controlled the situation in all directions."

"The Qin army is mostly infantry. If they don't form a formation, they will only be worn down bit by bit by our army."

A smile appeared on Leonard's face, showing his confidence. The marching adjutant advised from the side.

"Da Xihou, Gu Biqi had underestimated him at the beginning, and it would take thirty thousand Huqi to defeat him."

Sensing the worries of his trusted subordinates, Leonard smiled softly and patted his mount.

The black-gold war horse beneath him was like a beast, breathing heavily from the tip of its nose.

"Have you felt it? Its fighting spirit."

"Da Xihou, your mount has always been spiritual, and it also senses the extraordinary power of the enemy."

"Yes!"

Leonard nodded.

"What do you think this war is about?"

"Welcome the princess back and repel the Qin army."

"No, not to repel the Qin army, but to tear them into pieces."

There was a restlessness in Leonard's body, as if every joint was screaming.

"Use the most violent and direct method to break through their array, kill their soldiers, and crush everything. We will make the Qin people tremble when they hear our names again in the next ten years."

With that said, Leonard raised the sword in his hand and ran in front of the Huqi formation, shouting.

"Go, my most brave and loyal soldiers, crush them like the enemies we have faced in the past."

Amidst the shouts of harmony, a large number of Hu cavalry rushed towards the Qin army's array.

On the high slope, Bai Lu stood behind Zhao Shuang with a team of soldiers holding long swords.

"Your Majesty, Chief Hu really has a large number of people and leads his army to attack our army array."

Zhao Shuang smiled and waved.

"There are millions of arrows in the formation, and they all need to be used up today. You lead the troops in front of the formation to supervise the battle. This battle will first dampen the enemy's energy and notify the whole army. After the sound of three drums, Sergeant Yu Lin in the front formation, but there is a basket of arrows. If the arrow is not used up, behead it immediately."

"promise!"

Bai Lu led the long-sword warriors down the high slope and headed towards the front of the formation.

Hu Qi galloped, and the earth was shaking. Dianqing held two axes in his hands and stood in front of the soldiers. Feeling the sharp edge of a hundred thousand horsemen that seemed to be able to break everything, the instinctive wildness and fighting spirit in his body were aroused. He opened his arms and shouted loudly.

"Well done!"

Before the roar of the ceremony ended, a round of arrows flew out from his head, covering the sky with darkness, and flew towards the Hu Qi formation. On this battlefield shrouded in morning light, the initial collision broke out.
