Chapter 173 The story of Bai Ma and Xian Deng
Qu Yi sneered as he looked at the White Horse Volunteers surging towards him in the distance, and remembered what Guo Hao had just told him.
"Zhengli, I leave it to you. Don't let me down." Guo Hao looked at Qu Yi and said solemnly. Even a novice like him could see that their previous interference in the command allowed Yang Lin on the opposite side to seize the flaw. Now, he could only rely on Taiyang and Xiandeng.
"We will definitely win this battle, General, please rest assured!"
This time, Qu Yi showed no expression, his face was as calm as water. He was not good at giving commands, but he had enough confidence in the vanguard.
From the moment the chariot appeared, Guo Hao, Qu Yi and others understood Yang Lin's plan, which was to attack the enemy head-on.
It has to be said that Yang Lin seized the opportunity well. The White Horse Volunteers, in coordination with the chariots, ensured that Guo Hao could not escape, and also blocked the way for the surrounding auxiliary troops to approach.
For a moment, there were only two legions left by Guo Hao: the Sun Cavalry and the Vanguard.
To be honest, if the number of legions around Guo Hao was not small, Zhang He would not have thought of attacking the formation.
"The entire army marches into the battle formation!" Zhang He shouted excitedly. A tremendous achievement was right before his eyes. Having seen the power of Gongsun Zan's white horse marching into the battle formation, he was very sure that it would be impossible to stop Guo Hao without Feixiong and Xianzhen.
A burst of dense horse hoofbeats sounded from a distance, then came closer, accompanied by earth-shaking slogans.
"Wherever justice leads, life and death will follow. Heaven can bear witness to this, and the white horse is the witness."
The White Horse Volunteers on the horizon surged towards Guo Hao like a wave.
Qu Yi looked indifferently at the Baima Yicong who were coming like surging waves, and was overjoyed in his heart. He did not expect that someone would use such fragile light cavalry as the Baima Yicong to attack the enemy.
It is true that light cavalry can attack the enemy formation, but to do so when facing the vanguard is simply seeking death.
The four thousand vanguard death soldiers were divided into two parts in an orderly manner. The vanguard death soldiers were actually composed of two parts: the vanguard halberd soldiers carrying heavy shields and armor, and the death soldiers and crossbowmen holding powerful crossbows who were invincible in attack.
Guo Yi's design was to combine the two into one, but that was the vanguard of the military soul. The vanguard of the Imperial Guard was currently unable to accomplish Guo Yi's idea, so Guo Yi had to settle for the second best and split the legion into two as a transition.
Qu Yi looked at the Baima Yicong calmly. The Baima Yicong's originally wind-like speed was slowed down countless times in Qu Yi's eyes.
He could clearly feel the earth-shaking horse hooves of the Baima Yicong, and could also clearly feel the shaking of the earth.
Qu Yi silently watched the surging Baima Yicong. He was enduring, he was waiting, he was looking for a perfect opportunity.
Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps.
The long distance lost its meaning under the speed of the Baima Yicong. The Baima Yicong, which was still in the sky in the last second, was approaching the defense line of the Xiandeng Death Squad in this second.
The expected rain of arrows did not occur, and Qu Yi felt more at ease. He was originally a little worried that Zhang He would replace Gongsun Zan to lead the troops. Maybe he had some fatal trump card, but now it seemed ridiculous that there might be a rift within the coalition again.
"Throw!" Qu Yi shouted loudly.
A thousand halberd warriors threw away the pistols beside them, then tilted their shields slightly and smashed them on the ground, leaning against the shields, waiting for the white horses to attack the camp.
"Disperse!" Zhang He shouted with a sneer. The pistol throwing was nothing to the white horses. The leading white horse followers dodged it easily like butterflies flying among flowers.
"Idiot!" Qu Yi laughed even colder. At this moment, Zhang Junyi was like an idiot among idiots in his mind.
If it's not your troop, why are you bringing it out? Do you really think that legion talents can replace the main general?
Qu Yi, who had studied Bai Ma thoroughly, knew from Zhang He's scattered orders that Zhang He did not understand Bai Ma Yicong at all.
Such a great army was led by a fool. Even Qu Yi felt sad for the Baima Yicong.
However, it’s good for the idiot, as he will be promoted to military soul first!
Originally, Qu Yi was a little desperate. After all, the military soul was linked to the empire. Basically, one empire could only rely on two military souls. So, Qu Yi could only consider taking the path of miracles, or the path of the fifth-level talented guards.
But those are not suitable for Xiandeng Shishi. Is his Xiandeng Shishi bursting out? Is he lacking in output?
No, what his vanguard soldiers lack is physical strength and military spirit.
There is always a way out. Qu Yi remembered the will of the Yellow Turban Empire beside Zhang Jue.
As expected, the essence of military soul is the return of the empire's national destiny to the legion, or a kind of reward.
The troops bound to the military soul are basically consuming the national fortune in exchange for unlimited physical strength. Even if the imperial will has no intelligence, it will not release the military soul all over the sky.
Generally speaking, two military souls are the upper limit for an imperial will. If there are more, the imperial will will be slowly depleted and eventually lead to militarism.
The fact that Xianzhen and Feixiong could become the souls of the army was closely related to their years of guarding the border. That was why they were able to become the Royal Guards and the souls of the army before others.
The two legions have one thing in common as their military soul: they have guarded the border and fought against the Yellow Turbans.
Qu Yi was quick-witted and used the border guards from Youzhou to form the vanguard death squad. It must be said that Qu Yi's idea was very brilliant.
The border guards of Youzhou are also brave warriors, and they also participated in the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
However, Qu Yi was stuck at the threshold of Military Soul and couldn't get in. He originally thought that the quota for Military Soul was full and he could only wait in line.
But when he saw the white horse, he understood it was not that the quota was full, but that someone was competing with him!
Feixiong was born in Liangzhou, Xianzhen was born in Bingzhou, Xiandeng and Baima were both born in Youzhou. Aren't they competing on the same stage?
He said, why were Xianzhen and Feixiong one step faster than him? They were obviously about the same at the beginning and their contributions were almost the same, so why could their two legions become the soul of the army?
When Huangfu Song said that the Imperial Will could only be affiliated with two people at most, he was wondering if there would be an extra spot for the Military Soul after the Yellow Turbans were wiped out.
This was later proved when he touched the threshold of the Military Soul, but he was very upset because he couldn't get in no matter what.
Finally he met the Baima Yicong, and he understood that as long as he killed the Baima Yicong, he would be able to advance first.
"If I kill you, the White Horse Volunteers, I will be able to leap into the sky and become the soul of the army!"
"shoot!"
Just as the white horse stepped onto the giant shield of the halberd warrior and was about to jump, Qu Yi finally released his trump card.
Three thousand powerful crossbows comparable to bed crossbows fired at the Baima Yicong. Xiandeng didn't even consider changing arrows, he just kept pulling the strings and shooting.
The first shot was a physical arrow, and each subsequent attack was a cloud arrow. This was a surprise that Qu Yi specially prepared for Bai Ma.
