martial arts general

Chapter 103 Fish Scale Formation
Zhao Jiuxiao led the army into the city and waited for the enemy to arrive at any time.

He was not idle either, and he and Gongsun Wuji walked around the entire city.

During this process, Zhao Jiuxiao changed into civilian clothes and acted, and did not see the common people as a general.

The people in Chang'an City have already heard the news, and most of them are panic-stricken.

Some people even packed their bags and wanted to escape overnight.

However, with the enemy at hand, Xia Housheng had already sealed the city gates, not allowing anyone to leave, to prevent spies from passing on information to the enemy.

Ten days later, the 50 army led by Situ Fengxiu finally arrived.

Zhao Jiuxiao also stood on the top of the city and saw the general.

I saw that the other party was a middle-aged man, wearing a square helmet and chain mail, with two big knives around his waist. He was thin and thin, but his eyes were like a fox, full of cunning.

Situ Fengxiu came to the city and shouted: "Xia Housheng, if you are sensible, you will open the city and surrender. If you are spared, we will attack the city and make your life miserable."

Xia Housheng smiled and said: "General Situ, your army is so large that our army may not be able to defeat you, but our army will never betray the imperial court and surrender to Kaicheng. You'd better give up."

Situ Fengxiu: "If you don't surrender, you have to be prepared to collect your own body."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Set up the formation!"

While speaking, the enemy army began to deploy.

Zhao Jiuxiao also opened his eyes wide and watched carefully.

I saw that the enemy's formation had changed into the shape of fish scales, with the most prominent in the center, posing an offensive posture.

The "Fish Scale Formation" he had seen in the art of war books in the real world immediately came to his mind.

Zhao Jiuxiao took a deep breath: "So this guy is going to use this kind of formation."

Among Situ Fengxiu's 50 troops, there are 20 cavalry units, which bear the brunt.

There are also 20 infantry and [-] archers.

In the center of the formation, five thousand artillery pieces were also ready to go.

Xia Housheng immediately ordered the army to deploy.

He has 15 cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] archers, and [-] artillery pieces.

Because of defending the city, Xia Housheng was superior in terms of long-range firepower.

However, after seeing the fish scale formation, Zhao Jiuxiao already understood the danger of the current battle situation.

"The whole army attacks!" With Situ Fengxiu's order, 50 troops launched a fierce attack.

"Boom boom boom!" A series of shells fell on the city wall and began to bombard the target.

The cannons at the top of the city were also firing back.

The same was true for Zhao Jiuxiao. He ordered his 6 artillery pieces to help Xia Housheng attack, while the remaining [-] troops should not rush to fight, follow him and wait and see what happens.

The archers also began to shoot at each other, and the rain of arrows kept falling.

But relying on the cover of the city wall, Xia Housheng's archers had the upper hand.

Situ Fengxiu's cavalry began to violently attack the north gate of Chang'an City.

All the infantry in the city were concentrated here, resisting tenaciously.

However, because of the attack power of the fish scale formation, they would soon be unable to resist and were rushed into the city by the enemy.

Zhao Jiuxiao knew what would happen to the city once Situ Fengxiu's army rushed in.

At the same time, he also thought of the method to crack the fish-scale formation, and said immediately: "General Xiahou, I have a way to defeat the enemy."

Xia Housheng was at his wit's end, cupped his hands and said, "Then I have to thank General Zhao!"

Zhao Jiuxiao nodded and led an army of [-] to rush out from the east gate where no enemy troops attacked.

Taking advantage of the most anxious situation of the battle between the two armies, he went around behind the enemy and attacked the weakest position of the fish scale array.

"Kill!" Following Zhao Jiuxiao's order, He Zhengyang took the lead and led the cavalry to the front.

Luo Wenyuan also led archers and infantry to follow behind, shooting sharp arrows and forming a formation with shields.

Situ Fengxiu's army had already completely gained the upper hand, and was about to charge into the city, but the most vulnerable rear was attacked. Unexpectedly, the army's morale was in chaos.

Many soldiers fell in a pool of blood when they were caught off guard.

Situ Fengxiu frowned: "Damn it, how did they know about the weakness of the Fish Scale Formation?"

But things have come to this point, and he has no choice but to switch from offense to defense, mobilize some cavalry, send troops to rescue the rear, and improve morale.

But in this way, the fish scale formation lost its previous power.

And because of the change in formation, the pressure on the defenders of Chang'an City was greatly reduced.

Seeing that the timing was just right, Xia Housheng immediately ordered the army to follow him out of the city and attack Zhao Jiuxiao on both sides.

For a time, Situ Fengxiu was attacked from both sides and became even more passive.

Facing the enemy's arrow rain, Zhao Jiuxiao also sat on the horse and used the "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms".

He was seen waving his palms and hitting hard continuously.

With the palm of your hand, you can easily shatter the enemy's sharp arrows.

At the same time, Zhao Jiuxiao also continued to sweep with both palms, turning the palm wind into a golden dragon, spiraling forward and flying away.

"Boom boom boom!" Many infantrymen originally used large shields to defend and tried to block his palm force, but the shields were knocked out, and people were also shattered by the palm force and vomited blood to death.

Zhao Jiuxiao took advantage of the situation and rushed to the archer.

【Cloud Dispelling Palm! 】 He waved his palms and turned the wind from his palms into large clouds, causing the archers to lose their way and unable to see where he was.

Zhao Jiuxiao led Xuanyuanfeng, He Zhengyang, and Sima You to rush out and kill the archers with close attacks.

The screams continued to hit, and the archer also fell on his back and died unexpectedly.

For a time, Zhao Jiuxiao became more and more courageous and became almost unstoppable.

But at this moment, the cavalry rushed towards him and surrounded him.

Zhao Jiuxiao immediately waved his palms, turning the palm wind into shock waves and flying towards the enemy.

"Boom!" As soon as the cavalry approached, their shields were hit by the force of their palms, causing them and their horses to fall to the ground.

Some bones were broken and could not move, and some necks were twisted and died on the spot.

Zhao Jiuxiao continued to wave his palms, attacking with strong palm power.

"Crack!" The palm wind directly shattered the enemy's chest and skull.

A spear suddenly came from behind him and stabbed directly into his heart.

Zhao Jiuxiao tilted his body, dodged it lightly, and slapped backhand with his left palm.

The person behind him flew up immediately, avoided the palm, and landed firmly on the horse again.

Zhao Jiuxiao took a closer look and saw a young man in dark red armor.

This man held an iron gun, his eyes flickered, he wore a red gold helmet, his feet were on the stirrups, and he stared at Zhao Jiuxiao: "General Zhao, I have admired your name for a long time. Today I see you, and your martial arts are really extraordinary."

Zhao Jiuxiao asked, "Are you Luo Baxian?"

At this moment, an interface appeared in front of him.

【Six Art of Aohan】

Training requirements: kill Luo Baxian and Wan Tongxiong.

Zhao Jiuxiao took a deep breath and nodded secretly.

The other party also replied: "It is here, General Zhao, you should be honored to die under the gun of my Luo Baxian!"

Before the words finished, Luo Ba rushed over to applaud the horse.
