Chapter 177 The Military Formation of Militarism
After arriving, Li Ye asked about the situation here, and then he came before everyone and put down the Junior Priestess. He began to carefully look at the military formation of the elite cavalries of the Pinglu Army hundreds of steps away. The one thousand elite cavalries were deployed in the formation with a murderous look, very oppressive. Moreover, they were deployed in the Arrow Formation, so they were ready to charge at any time.
Song Jiao came to Li Ye’s side and glanced at the Junior Priestess without any inquiry. She said to Li Ye, “As long as we move, the elite cavalries will charge. Even if you and I can get past it quickly, we can’t destroy their formation. What’s more, they have masters hidden in the dark, who can match with the formation like a duck to water.”
“In the past, when the rebels besieged Xiangyang, five hundred Shatuo cavalries happened to be in the city. Under the circumstance that the Xiangyang Army lost several battles, the Xiangyang commissioner invited the Shatuo cavalries to fight. With only five hundred people, they charged into the rebels and disrupted their formation, and then the Xiangyang Army took advantage to assault so that they could win. After that battle, the Shatuo cavalries took part in the settlement of the Rebellion of Pang Xun. After they made many military exploits, the Zhenwu Commissioner with the Shatuo cavalries as the core was appointed.”
Li Ye looked calm. “Can these one thousand cavalries in front compare with the Shatuo cavalries?”
Song Jiao smiled and said, “Of course not. In today’s Tang Empire, no one can match Shatuo cavalries in terms of fighting ability.”
Li Ye nodded, not saying much. He looked at the one thousand cavalries quietly.
Li Ye didn’t say anything, so Song Jiao didn’t say much either. She stood quietly beside him.
Su Emei and the others who came later and the other cultivators of the Black Office didn’t know what was happening and how Li Ye would respond as they saw him stood there quietly.
Many people got anxious as time went by and the dawn approached. The people who participated in the action knew that it was of great importance if they could subdue the Qingshui Villa. But Li Ye waited here for a long time, and he just ordered everyone to stand by and had no action, which confused everyone.
When Li Ye carried the Junior Priestess to come back, he and Su Emei had a conversation about a “help me or help Penglai”. Cui Keli and the others thought Li Ye was one of the leaders of the Black Office. Now, Li Ye didn’t take any action, so he felt worried because the Cui family had turned to Li Ye.
Finally, Cui Keli couldn’t help but ask Li Ye several times, but Li Ye just smiled and didn’t answer, which confused Cui Keli a lot.
In the mountainside pavilion, Chen Beiwang looked pleased. He sneered. “I thought they would try to charge the cavalries formation as the helpers came, but they did nothing. It seems that the men of the Black Office are not so powerful.”
Wang Hanshan smiled and said, “It’s because they understand the current situation. As long as they rush in the formation, they will die...”
Before he could finish his words, thunder came faintly in the dark night. Instantly, the thunder grew louder and denser and the earth shook slightly. A moment later, there was deafening thunder, like enormous waves not far away sweeping across the border at great speed to devour everyone in the dark night.
Chen Beiwang and Wang Hanshan were confused at first and then they felt anxious. In the end, they looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes. As the veteran generals, the two of them knew the reason why there was deafening thunder.
That was the vibration caused by the charge of the cavalry and the thunder was the clop!
Wang Hanshan looked at Chen Beiwang in shock. “General Chen, do you mobilize the cavalry to come?”
Chen Beiwang’s look of self-satisfaction disappeared, and his heart was heavy at the moment. “No, only the one thousand cavalries below the mountain...”
Wang Hanshan looked cold, but internally he was astonished. Since they were not the cavalry of Chen Beiwang, who were they? And they had no advance information, so it was unlikely that the other generals of the Pinglu Army dispatched troops to reinforce them.
When Cui Keli and the others heard the clops approaching, they hurriedly turned to look at them. They waited for a long time. First, they saw sparks connected into a line in the dark. At last, the clops approached like an avalanche. At this moment, they could see clearly that the cavalry in fine armor was galloping under the torches!
They had moved to both sides of the road to make way for the cavalry.
Cui Keli looked shocked, and the others’ eyes were filled with fear or even awe. No matter how their cultivation was, as long as they didn’t reach the Spiritual Master Realm, the pressure of the cavalry’s rushing forward was like Mount Tai on the head.
As everyone watched closely, the fire dragon out of the darkness was gradually clear. At the head of the cavalry in armor, a valiant general in silver armor was riding a white horse and holding a long spear. Even her face was hidden behind the armor and people couldn’t see her appearance, but they could still feel her killing intent.
“Whose troops are they? Which cavalries do they belong to?”
Cui Keli couldn’t help but speak out. Just looking at their imposing manners, he knew the other side was extraordinary. Although he was a scholar, he was not ignorant of military affairs. Whether the cavalry was elite or not, it could tell from the details of their formation, such as the connection of the horses, the distance of the cavalries, the momentum of the soldiers, the rise and fall of the clops, and so on. And the cavalry in front had reached the absolute elite standard from all aspects.
Cui Keli had never heard that the cavalry of the Pinglu Army was so valiant.
While the cavalry was still hundreds of steps away, Li Ye flew up slowly, surrounded by Spiritual Qi. White light was shining, as striking as the beacon. He glanced at the cavalry. Turning to pull out his Luke Sword, he pointed to the one thousand Pinglu cavalries. He said in a loud and majestic voice, “The cavalry of the Manor, listen to my order. Charge!”
At this moment, Li Ye was like the general of the Immortal Court.
In front of the elite cavalries, the silver-armored general looked at him and listened to him. Holding up the 5.6-meter Cloud Splitter Spear high, she took a deep breath and said loudly, covering the clops, “The cavalry of the Manor, listen to Your Highness’ order and charge with me!”
The eight hundred elite cavalries took off the long spears at the side of the saddles one by one. They held the long spears straight and kept the blades forward. Their movements were neat and uniform, like measuring with a line ruler. The sound of the pendants on their armor was clear and deep, filling everywhere. The eight hundred soldiers bent to rein in their horses, looking ahead, and they looked murderous. They let out a torrent of roar in the night. “Kill!”
Their roar was overwhelming!
The eight hundred elite cavalries changed the formation quickly as they rushed forward, and the Arrow Formation formed in a short time.
The sliver-armored general held the Cloud Splitter Spear flat at her side when the formation had formed. “Kill!”
The Arrow Formation sped up suddenly. “Kill!”
The shining spears and armored horses changed the wilderness into the battlefield!
The elite cavalries rushed forward like a flood with a neat military formation, chilling armors and murderous looks. The pressure made Cui Keli stunned and speechless. He opened his eyes wide and his hands trembled slightly. “How, how could the cavalry be so elite?”
He couldn’t help but look up at Li Ye who flew in the air, and his hands trembled even more. “Your Highness... Is, is he Your Highness Prince An? He, he is really Your Highness Prince An!”
In the mountainside pavilion, Wang Hanshan, Chen Beiwang, Mu Qingliu and the others all felt shocked as they saw the cavalry below the mountain charge. Li Ye flew up in the air, and the white light around him shone brightly so that his appearance couldn’t be seen clearly. They were terrified as they heard his military order. “The cavalry of the Manor? Is he the new commissioner of Pinglu, Prince An Li Ye?”
“But isn’t Li Ye in Qi Prefecture? Why did he arrive at Lai Prefecture suddenly? When did he come?”
Before they could recover from shock, Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang heard the silver-armored general’s shouting. They opened their eyes wide and stared at her. The momentum of the silver-armored general and the military formation were one with each other. Moreover, she became the arrow of the military formation, overbearing and sharp, as if she had no rivals. Upon seeing this scene, the two of them were stunned and couldn’t breathe.
However, the sliver-armored general’s shouting was louder than the sound of the eight hundred cavalries’ gallops, throughout all directions. Then there was only one possibility!
Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang cried at the same time, “Military, military warrior? She is the great commander of militarism?!”
A great commander of militarism was rare in the world and extremely difficult to cultivate. Although Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang called themselves Militarism, they cultivated Taoist methods and their realms were in Level 6 of Qi-refining in accordance with the system of Taoist sect.
As veteran soldiers, they knew clearly how difficult it was to be a great commander of militarism, and they understood more only a few generals in the world would cultivate the system of Militarism purely. However, what really made them fear was that a person would have great lethality if he were a great commander of militarism.
The cultivation of the military warriors of Militarism was reflected in the soldier, the military formation and the battlefield. They connected with the military formation behind them in mind and they became one. Once they charged, not only their own strength would surge and ordinary generals were hard to fight them, but the power of the military formation would also suddenly increase and destroy everything. Such military warriors were not afraid of the sneak attack, and for such a military formation, as long as the military warriors didn’t die, it was extremely difficult to break through!
Compared with the military formation led by a great commander of militarism, the ordinary military formation was in a state of disunity!
Even if the one thousand cavalries of Pinglu were powerful, how could they contend with such invincible cavalries?
Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang were both deeply shocked and frightened. In their sight, the Arrow Formation led by the silver-armored general had already formed. Gusts of sharp Spiritual wind, like clouds, glided backward on both sides of the military formation, and all galloping cavalries were surrounded by dense Spiritual Qi, which was the reaction that the military warrior’s Spiritual Qi resonated with that of the cultivators in the army to cover the entire military formation. There was a special term in Militarism, Morale Resonance!
Now the entire Arrow Formation had become a perfect whole. It was a sharp arrow!
“No!”
“Sh*t!”
Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang couldn’t help but jump off the pavilion hurriedly. When facing such an Arrow Formation which was composed of cavalries, the Pinglu cavalries didn’t have to fight to know they had no chance to win. If the two of them didn’t join the military formation anymore, they would lose without a doubt. At this moment, they just wanted to lead the charge and hoped it would work!
Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang took out their armor which was magic treasures. They put on them instantly and jumped on the horses from the air. Holding reins and long spears, they gave order to the Pinglu cavalries and led the charge. “Pinglu elite cavalries, charge!”
Seeing Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang jumping down and going to the battlefield, Mu Qingliu was distracted and didn’t understand. He wasn’t a general, so he didn’t understand how powerful the military formation which was composed of the eight hundred elite cavalries of the Manor was. He could only see the other side had extraordinary momentum as if they were invincible.
However, the response of Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang went far beyond his expectations, so he realized that not all the military formations were so powerful after they had stored up strength.
Once the question came out, Mu Qingliu trembled all over and looked frightened. He understood immediately. If all military formations were so powerful, why would Wang Hanshan and Chen Beiwang who led the Pinglu Army fear Penglai and be under control of the Penglai Taoist sect?
They could destroy Penglai Island directly!
