Chapter 1989 Breaking the Longmen Formation (Part 1)

Chapter 1987: Breaking the Longmen Formation (Part 1)

Outside the Longmen Formation, five cavalry units including Tai Shi Ci, Huang Tianxiang, and Zhang Kui were ready to attack. They waited for Zhang Liao's general order to launch an attack immediately.

The Tang soldiers in the formation all looked solemn and stared at the Qin army outside the formation with vigilance.

As the saying goes, one can make great efforts, then they will fade away, and three times they will be exhausted.

With Li Shimin's encouragement, the Tang army had indeed turned into a mourning army. If they fought a decisive battle with the Qin army immediately, even if the Qin army had all cavalry. It will definitely be able to inflict heavy losses on the Qin army.

However, the Qin army did not engage in a decisive battle with the Tang army. Instead, they used bows and arrows outside the formation, consuming the Tang army's troops bit by bit. Although it did not cause many casualties to the Tang army, waiting for death to come was undoubtedly extremely torturous.

Under the rain of arrows that lasted for more than half an hour, and the screams of countless colleagues, the 50,000 Tang troops in the Longmen Formation were tortured. Although they still dared to fight to the death, their courage to fear death gradually disappeared. .

Of course, all this was within Li Shimin's expectation. No one could keep their mentality unshaken even when people were dying around them.

In Li Shimin's view, carrying a coffin and fighting to the death to boost morale is just one of the available methods. Even if he loses the attribute of the mourning army, it doesn't matter. The Longmen Formation is his real trump card.

"Your Highness, Zhang Liao's posture is wrong. He has deployed five cavalry groups outside the formation. Are he planning to attack the five gates at the same time?" Li Kui said thoughtfully.

Li Shimin also had a solemn look on his face. After all, according to common sense, if you want to break the Longmen Formation, you should concentrate your troops, but Zhang Liao did the opposite. Aren't you afraid that all the 10,000 cavalrymen would die in the formation?

Li Shimin didn’t know what Zhang Liao was thinking, but what was certain was that Zhang Liao’s purpose was to break the formation, and he immediately made a decision in his heart.

"Pass the order, if these five cavalry units enter the formation, immediately block the formation and strangle them with all your strength." Li Shimin said coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Taishi Ci and other five troops outside the formation launched an attack at the same moment.

 “The general has orders to attack.”

After hearing this, Taishi Ci decisively waved the spear in his hand and shouted: "Kill."

"kill…"

Two thousand cavalry roared with all their strength, making a roar that echoed throughout the sky, and urged the horses to rush towards the crisis-ridden Longmen Formation, with the leading general Tai Shici rushing at the front.

Da da da…

The sound of horse hooves made the earth tremble, but the Longmen Formation remained unmoved.

The Qin army rushed forward in front of them, but the Tang army in the Longmen formation not only did not block it, but instead got out of the way and actively welcomed the Qin army into the formation.

When Taishi Ci saw this, he immediately showed a solemn look on his face. He already knew what was going to happen next, but he still shouted: "Don't stop, keep charging."

"kill…"

Taishi Ci led two thousand cavalry into the formation, and four other cavalry groups also entered the formation at the same time.

Ten thousand Qin army cavalry, from five squares, like five sharp swords, pierced into the Longmen formation at the same time.

As soon as the Qin army entered the formation, the Tang army immediately closed the formation gates. Although five more gates appeared immediately, if the Qin army was sending troops into the formation, they would definitely be taking a different route from the five Taishi Ci.

Taishi Cisuo advanced less than a kilometer after entering the formation, and the formation of the Longmen Formation changed drastically.

Countless spears came at the Qin army from both sides, and arrows were shot from the sky one after another. In addition, the formation and position had changed, and it was difficult to distinguish the direction, and naturally they did not know where to go.

Seeing this, Tai Shici quickly ordered: "Raise your shield and be on guard."

Upon hearing this, the Qin army's cavalry quickly raised their shields, guarding against arrows shot from a distance and at the same time guarding against spears coming from all directions.

"kill."

A Tang Army spearman stared at a straggler Qin Qi and stabbed out his spear with a ferocious expression. However, before he could hit him, he was stabbed to death by the condescending Qin Qi. After stabbing the Tang soldiers to death, Qin Qi was pierced by several spears before he could draw his lance and died on the spot.

After the Tang army struck a blow, regardless of whether it succeeded or not, they would immediately retreat without giving the Qin army a chance to fight back.

 “Ah, ah…”

 The screams kept ringing out.

Just after entering the battle, nearly a hundred Qin cavalry were killed by the Tang army's gun formation, while the Tang army's casualties were less than half of the Qin army's.

Taishi Ci's eyes were about to burst when he saw this. Now the way forward was cut off and he didn't know the direction. If he didn't find the right direction, the casualties would increase.

 “What to do? Where should we go?”

Taishici had cold sweat on his forehead, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but he was just powerless and furious, and he didn't know where to use his strength.

At this moment, a loud drum sound suddenly sounded outside the formation.

 “Dong, dong, dong…”

With the Tang army shouting for kill all around, this kind of drum sound was actually not obvious, and ordinary soldiers could not hear it at all. However, Taishi Cihe was an expert archer, and his hearing and hearing were far stronger than ordinary people.

“Among the four directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, only General Wenyuan’s central army has so many war drums, and the central army is in the east, which means..."

Taishi Ci suddenly turned his head. Although his sight was blocked by the Tang army and the flag, he said with great certainty: "That's the east."

After knowing the direction to the east, Taishi Ci naturally also knew other directions. He immediately raised his gun and shouted: "Soldiers, follow me to kill."

"kill…"

Taishi Ci led his cavalry and charged directly towards a group of spear formations. There were many spears standing there. It looked like a large number of spearmen had gathered here.

But the fact was revealed by the Qin Army. It was obvious that it was a paper tiger, deliberately placed here to confuse the Qin Army.

 After easily killing through the forest of guns, Taishi Ci, who knew the direction, continued to charge in the right direction.

Guard general Bai Ying is a top-notch general. Originally, a general of his level was not qualified to guard for a while. However, in the battle against Li Cunxiao during the siege, the Tang army generals suffered heavy casualties. Nowadays, generals are scarce, so a top-notch general like him is All were promoted.

Seeing that Taishi Ci had found the right direction, Bai Ying was shocked. He quickly shouted and ordered the spearmen to form a formation to block the Qin army, but Taishi Ci, who had excellent hearing, heard the general direction.

"Over there."

Taishi Ci's eyes were as bright as lightning. He turned around and saw that although he could not see the direction of the white eagle, he already knew its approximate direction. So he decisively took his bow and arrow and shot it quickly in one direction.

  【Ding dong, Taishi Ci’s skill ‘Arrow God’ is activated, and his force instantly increases by 6;

Taishi Ci: Martial Power 102 (+2), Soul-Chasing Life-Destroying Spear +1, Teller Piao +1, Five Sons Concentric +1, the current Martial Power has increased to 111; ]

  咻, 咻, 咻…

Under Taishi Ci's barrage of arrows, more than ten soldiers blocking Bai Ying were shot dead in the blink of an eye, revealing the figure of the guard Bai Ying.

White Eagle was shocked when he saw this. Before he had time to react, his neck was shot through by an arrow and he died with his eyes open.
