Chapter 84 Both Sides Have Their Own Cards
"Oh, that's right!"
"hey-hey……"
Ai Nengqi suddenly realized, touched his big head with his hand embarrassedly, and laughed foolishly.
After being reminded by Li Dingguo, he finally understood why the suggestion he put forward to the Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong last night was rejected by him.
There is no need to think about it, in this huge Tianjiazhuang Castle, there will not only be a large number of vicious dogs, but also a few spiritual dogs.
Before you deal with them, don't even think about launching a sneak attack. That is doomed to fail. It is better to just launch a strong attack.
While the two were talking, the 600 soldiers of the old camp commanded by Zhang Xianzhong and Zhang Kewang had already formed their battle array.
Zhang Xianzhong personally led two hundred warriors and soldiers to form a Seven Star Bagua formation.
Zhang Kewang did the same thing.
Behind the two military killing formations was a reserve force consisting of two hundred soldiers from the old camp.
As long as the general is smart, he will generally leave a reserve force when the war is about to begin.
Otherwise, once the battle enters a long-lasting state of tension, the soldiers' physical strength will be exhausted, and the opponent will suddenly send a fresh force to join the battle, which can often make the final decision and win the victory in one fell swoop.
In any direct battle between two armies, it is crucial to keep a reserve force.
The enemy has a reserve force, but you do not. When the strength of the two armies is similar, the outcome is almost obvious and inevitable.
The reserve team was led by Bai Wenxuan, and they were also standing at the rear of the battlefield, ready for battle.
While choosing the right time to join the battlefield, they were also responsible for keeping watch on the movements around their own camp to avoid being surrounded and attacked from the front and back by the enemy.
On a real battlefield, when the enemy and our side engage in a head-on battle, the commander of the army needs to consider many things, which is far from as simple as ordinary people imagine.
One mistake could result in the annihilation of the entire army or a disastrous defeat.
"All soldiers, forward!"
"Shield soldiers, prepare for defense!"
"Once reaching the arrow range, the archers will immediately launch a rain of arrows to cover the attack!"
Looking at the dense crowds on the wall of Tianjiazhuang Fort in front of him, Zhang Xianzhong had a cold expression on his face, and he issued combat orders to the messenger beside him.
The position where their rebel army was lined up was not too far from the enemy's city wall. After the soldiers formed a formation and marched forward about three hundred feet, they were almost within the range of ordinary bow and arrow attacks.
Of course, spiritual soldiers are not included in this list.
However, spiritual weapon bows and arrows are precious, and you can't buy as many of them as you have money, as there are not many of them to begin with.
Most forces rarely sell spiritual weapons, and mainly use them for their own use.
Especially spiritual weapons of medium quality and above are basically not available on the market.
After all, if you sell this kind of powerful spiritual weapon to others, it will make them stronger. So even if you are rich, what can it do?
If you don't have the ability to protect your wealth, you will be at the mercy of others who will take it away at will, leaving nothing behind and swallowing up everything you have!
"Follow the order!"
The flag-bearing officer standing beside Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly trotted to a temporary platform nearby and conveyed the king's order to several messengers who had been prepared for a long time.
"kill!"……
As the military order was issued, the soldiers of the old camp and the young camp, who had already formed a military formation, roared in unison and marched in uniform steps towards the gate of the landlord's fortress ahead!
“Swoosh!”…
At this moment, more than a dozen spiritual arrows were suddenly shot out from the direction of the city gate tower!
“Protect!”…
Several leaders of the old camp at the front of the army shouted one after another. More than a dozen spiritual wooden shields gleaming with a hazy precious light were raised by the elite warriors of the rebel army at the front of the army, easily blocking the incoming arrows.
"puff!"……
A dull sound was heard, and the sudden attack from the spiritual weapon arrows could not even break through the defensive light shield activated by the spiritual wood shield, and they fell to the ground one after another.
The spiritual wood left behind by the big locust tree monster after it was killed by Li Dingguo was used by Zhang Xianzhong to invite a great craftsman to make a spiritual wooden shield, which finally exerted satisfactory power!
"It's rude to come and not reciprocate!"
"Hopefully! Let's give them a taste of their own medicine!"
Seeing this, Zhang Xianzhong took off the spiritual bow and arrows on his back and shouted to Zhang Kewang who was nearby.
"Okay, foster father!"
"Just leave it to me!"
Zhang Kewang was well prepared. He held a spiritual bow and arrow in his hand and responded loudly when he heard it.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
The next moment, two spiritual arrows flew out from the spiritual longbows in their hands with a sharp whistling sound, and instantly penetrated into the faces of two enemy archers on the city gate tower who were locked by the two men's spiritual thoughts!
The spiritual arrows infused with the true Qi and blood power of a master in the Qi Refining Realm were much faster and more powerful than ordinary bows and arrows. There was no way that the two archers from Tianjiazhuang Fort, who were only at the second level of martial arts, could avoid them in time.
"what!"
"Oh no! This bandit army actually has a spiritual wooden shield!"
"More than that! There are at least dozens of them!"
"Where did these bandits get this weapon of war?"...
As two archers from Tianjiazhuang Fort died on the spot, the defenders on the city wall burst into exclamations!
Even some wealthy manors with profound cultural backgrounds do not have precious spiritual weapons such as the spiritual wooden shield. How did these rebels get so many of them?
The enemy had so many spiritual wood shields for protection that even their own spiritual soldiers' bows and arrows could hardly cause effective damage to them. This unexpected situation immediately caused a burst of cheers!
"Humph!"
"So what if they have a spirit wood shield?"
Zhao Yuming, who was wearing spiritual armor, was shocked. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He said to the head of the family, Tian Yuantao, who was also wearing a mid-grade spiritual armor, "Once we defeat this rebel army, these precious spiritual wood shields will belong to our Tian family!"
"Look at me!"
He took a step forward, took off a mid-grade spiritual bow and arrow from his back, bent the bow and drew the arrow, and in an instant, he had shot the spiritual arrow in his hand!
This is one of the only two sets of mid-grade spiritual bows and arrows in Tianjiazhuang Castle, and it demonstrates its super strong attack power!
The sharp arrows it shot completely bypassed the frontline soldiers of the rebel army and hit a soldier from the old camp of the rebel army who had no spiritual wooden shield to defend himself at the back!
The huge impact force carried by the spiritual weapon's arrow even shot the unfortunate soldier from the old camp of the rebel army into the air, and then fell on another rebel soldier behind him!
"Middle-grade spiritual weapon bow and arrow?"
Zhang Xianzhong was shocked, and then he became furious. He circulated his Qi and shouted, "It's possible! The two of us don't need to wait. We should attack the city first and kill this Qi Refining Realm enemy who poses a great threat to our soldiers!"
"Ma Yuanli!"
"After the two of us lead the troops to the city, we will immediately leave the army. You will be in charge of the soldiers in the old camp at that time. Act according to circumstances!"
Since the other side has a Qi Refining Realm master who even has a mid-grade spiritual bow and arrow in his hand, if we allow him to do whatever he wants, even if we win in the end, the soldiers in our old camp will suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong immediately changed the original tactics.
Originally, he was thinking of having a proper offensive and defensive battle with this tycoon, and training his soldiers through a real bloody battle.
However, he did not expect that in the Tianjiazhuang Castle, there was not only a Qi Refining Realm master, but he even had a set of extremely lethal middle-grade spiritual bow and arrows in his hand!
In this situation that could pose a huge threat to his own soldiers, how could he dare to focus on training his troops?
He had to change the original plan and personally lead the soldiers to use the military killing formation to rush into Tianjiazhuang Fort as quickly as possible and kill the enemy's Qi Refining Realm master first!
Although the Tianjiazhuang Fort in front of him was very tall, it had no city defense formation. It could not stop the military killing formation led by him and Zhang Kewang personally, and could force its way straight in!
