Chapter 30 Wisdom Breaking Iron Formation
“Boom!” A cannon exploded from the Black Warrior Sect’s field, shaking the heavens!
Prepare for battle, prepare!
“Roar, roar, roar!”
The three thousand iron armors let out three neat roars, and the three thousand spears sliced through the air, emitting sharp whistles.
Even though it was a long spear without a spear, for the disciples of the official clan who had never experienced such a great scene before, this situation was shocking enough.
Qin Mubai couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Even if these soldiers weren’t alive, they were blocked by piles of mud and stones. It would be very difficult for them to charge over in one breath, let alone dozens of competitors who could shoot sneakers from behind them at any time.
I have to think of a way!
“Third Brother Qin, what should we do?” Cheng Huaibi asked in a low voice, “The two of us are weak. It’s too difficult for us to break through these three thousand armored formations. There are also infantry and cavalry. They are probably veterans chosen by the Emperor. Their actual combat abilities are countless times stronger than ours.” Although their guns can’t stab us to death without their spears, it’s enough for us to spit on so many people. “This is also possible if you get stabbed off the horse and trampled to death by the horse.”
Qin Mubai did not reply and looked around. The other official clan disciples were also discussing in whispers. Many people’s faces revealed a trace of panic, and some of their faces turned pale.
Normally, these people would at most close their doors and practice martial arts with martial artists. Occasionally, some battles would take place in an absolutely safe environment. The three thousand armored warriors in front of them were all well-trained soldiers. If this really happened, it would definitely be different from normal training. Not to mention whether they had a chance of winning against a siege of three thousand iron armor, even if it was a one-on-one battle, many people were not certain that they would win.
Under the cover of Huang Luo’s umbrella, Li Shimin chuckled and said to a guard general beside him, “Jun Xian, are you confident that you can charge through the three thousand iron armored formations alone?”
Li Junxian looked embarrassed and bowed honestly, “Your Majesty, I don’t dare to speak rashly … These three thousand iron armors were chosen by Your Majesty personally by the Imperial Guards. Everyone has had actual combat experience on the battlefield. In this sort of battle, I estimate that only three people in the world dare to attempt to charge forward.”
“Which three?”
“Duke Yi, Qin Shubao, Duke E, Yuchi Jingde, Duke Lu, Cheng Zhi Jie.” “However, the current rules prohibit the use of lethal weapons. Even if these three vanguard generals charge into the formation, they will not be able to use instant killing to intimidate the enemy into opening up a path of bloodshed easily. Therefore, the difficulty will be even greater,” Li Junxian said.
“Yes.” Li Shimin nodded and smiled meaningfully.
“Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly …”
“Come to the point.”
“Yes.” Li Junxian cupped his hands and bowed. “Not many of these official clan disciples have truly gone to the battlefield. No matter how powerful their individual martial arts skills are, they are definitely no higher than Qin, Cheng, and Yuchi. However, His Majesty wants them to obtain the Dragon Flag at the core of the three thousand iron armors. This … may not be too difficult.”
“Haha, this is what I want.” Li Shimin said, “On the surface, this is impossible.” Even if Qin, Cheng, and Yuchi joined forces, it would still be very difficult for them to charge in and seize the Dragon Flag with a spear without a spear. However, the most powerful weapon in this world was not an iron spear, but intelligence. What I want is a Baiji that is both civil and martial, capable of adapting to the situation and facing the enemy. If Man Yong alone can be selected, then this Baiji beside me is too worthless. ”
“So that’s the case … But this lowly official can’t think of any other tricks to charge in and seize the Dragon Flag. Is there anyone else who can fly?” Li Junxian looked confused.
“Look, I’ll see.” Li Shimin smiled, unfathomable.
‘”Woo–woo–”
The golden horn once again resounded throughout the sky, causing the participating athletes to tremble neatly and become even more nervous.
After this second order, another incense stick of time was about to start charging into the formation. Everyone was thinking and discussing nervously. Many people were so anxious that they were like ants on a hot pot. In despair, some even wanted to abstain from voting.
“Third Brother Qin, have you come up with a way? There’s only one incense stick left!” Cheng Huaibi asked anxiously.
Qin Mubai frowned slightly and raised his hand to look at the three thousand armored formation. “The three thousand armored soldiers surrounded the Dragon Flag like iron barrels. We rushed over like this like an egg striking a rock. However, their spears didn’t have a spear tip. They couldn’t stab people to death, so they naturally couldn’t resist the truly powerful impact … Yes!”
“What method?”
“Follow me. Time is of the essence!”
Under everyone’s gaze, Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi flapped their horses and left. They quickly arrived at the Ordnance Department, found the officer in charge of the ordnance, and asked for ten horses from them. According to the rules, apart from killing weapons, other tools and horses could be provided. Qin Mubai asked for ten more strings of firecrackers-there really was such a thing!
Qin Mubai was overjoyed and thought to himself, Could it be that the Emperor has prepared such a prop long ago, waiting for us to discover it? Li Shimin, this brother is too divine! If I hadn’t seen such a scene on the TV of “Three Hairy Congjun Ji”, I wouldn’t have been able to remember it immediately!
The two of them returned to the arena with ten horses in their hands, causing a huge commotion. Everyone looked at them in puzzlement. Some attentive people discovered the firecrackers tied to the tails of these horses and cried out in shock.
Li Shimin, who was under Huang Luo’s umbrella, couldn’t help but stand up and look at Qin Mubai.
“Your Majesty, what are those two brats doing?” Li Junxian asked in confusion.
“Haha! That should be Qin Shubao’s third young master, Qin Mubai, right? This brat is indeed a ghost spirit. He did not disappoint me!” Li Shimin laughed loudly and was in a good mood.
“Peng peng peng–”
The drums rang out on the field, causing the ground to tremble-the charge formation had begun!
The roars of the three thousand iron armor were like thunder, the armor reflecting the sunlight, burning with brilliant killing intent!
Qin Mubai and Cheng Huaibi quickly lit up ten firecrackers. The loud sound of the horn splashed in all directions, so lively. The ten horses were shocked and rushed towards the iron armored formation like crazy!
‘”Ah–” cried the whole hall in shock.
“What a brilliant plan!”
The faces of the soldiers standing at the front of the armored formation turned green, and they shouted in pain, “Bastard!”
“Which wicked fellow came up with such a bad idea! Do it!”
The furious horse galloped as it rolled up countless pieces of dust and rushed straight towards the armored formation. These generals who had been on the battlefield were not afraid to fight head-on with the enemy, but no one dared to fight against the crazy furious horse!
Even though their armor was strong, they would not be able to withstand the impact of such a furious horse. Although he had a gun in his hand, he didn’t have a spear head, so he couldn’t stab a horse to death!
“Brothers, quickly dodge!”
The officer in the armored formation gave the order. In an instant, a gap appeared in the circular formation that was like an iron barrel. The frightened fierce horse frantically rushed in, like a sharp blade cutting open a huge gap in the cake!
Qin Mubai was overjoyed, and his sword-like eyebrows stood upright as he shouted, “Charge!”
Cheng Huaibi seemed to be filled with enlightenment as he shouted, “Charge!”
The two of them were like arrows that had left the string as they rode their horses and followed the group of crazy horses into the formation.
The other athletes all regained their senses and roared loudly as they rushed forward.
“Wonderful! Wonderful!” Li Junxian laughed loudly, “Your Majesty, this brat is really smart! He actually thought of using a fierce horse as an arrow to help him break through the formation! The three thousand iron armored battle formation is like an iron wall that is extremely difficult to break through, but facing such a group of crazy horses, they are helpless!”
“A general who knows how to borrow and use things is a good general.” Li Shimin nodded and chuckled. “Some people have learned some of the military techniques left behind by the ancients, and they think that they are invincible in the battlefield with their strategy. It is best to know that the military techniques are impermanence, impermanence, and adaptability to local conditions. They can’t learn them from books-I admire Qin Mubai!”
‘”Kill” In the battle formation, Qin Mubai roared with killing intent as he rode his horse madly behind a group of crazy horses. The iron-armored guards were afraid of the might of the mad horse, so how could they not dodge? Therefore, Qin Mubai did not encounter any obstructions along the way. He was about to charge into the core and arrive under the Dragon Flag Pole.
Cheng Huaibi laughed loudly, “Third Brother Qin, you are too smart. I admire you so much!”
Before he could stop laughing, a white rainbow suddenly flashed by his side. Then, he heard a cold laugh, “You guys are smart enough. Unfortunately, the Dragon Flag is mine!”
“Changsun Huan!” Qin Mubai’s heart jammed as he saw a white-robed knight ride past him like a streak of smoke.
“Bastard, this fellow’s horse is so fast! He’s going to take a big advantage of it!” Cheng Huaibi cursed angrily.
“Quick–!” Seeing that Changsun Huan was about to rush to the Dragon Flag, Qin Mubai slapped his spear heavily on the horse’s buttocks. The horse suffered pain and let out a miserable long cry. It was still unable to catch up to the white horse of Eldest Sun Huan.
“Damn it, I’m going to marry someone. Why is this guy’s horse so fast?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Changsun Huanyi had already rushed to the Dragon Flag. He pulled up the Golden Condor Treasure Bow from the weapon rack under the flag pole and laughed loudly, wanting to pick up the bow and arrow to shoot down the Dragon Flag.
“Hu–” A swift shadow flashed, and the longbow in Changsun Huan’s hand disappeared!
Qin Mubai rode past him like the wind and snatched the sculpture bow over like lightning.
“How dare you! How dare you snatch the sculpture bow from me!” Changsun Huan’s handsome face turned red with anger. He pointed his spear at Qin Mubai angrily and shouted, “Give it back to me!”
“Humph!” Qin Mubai sneered as he pulled the bow in his hand for half an arc and was about to shoot it.
“Impudent!” Changsun Hua was furious, he pulled back his reins and galloped towards Qin Mubai.
“Crazy!” Qin Mubai’s eyebrows sank. He held a bow in one hand and a spear in the other, and with a’kadang ‘sound, he threw away the spear that had pierced towards him from Changsun Huan.
Changsun Huan accidentally rode his horse over, his face revealing a look of horror as he thought to himself, This fellow’s spear technique is so powerful!
“Young Master Changsun, I’m here to help you!” With a thunderous roar, the black-faced man, Yuchi Baoyun, rode a pitch-black horse and rushed in. Behind him, there were also five or six cavalry riders who roared and charged towards Qin Mubai.
“Come on!” Qin Mubai shouted and placed the carved bow on the saddle. He shook the spear in his hand and prepared to fight.
“Third Brother, let me help you!” Cheng Huaibi’s horse was slow and hurried in to fight alongside Qin Mubai.
Changsun Huanqi seven or eight cavalry, surrounded the two at the core, a servant battle is about to start.
The three thousand iron armored formation was knocked down by a group of crazy horses, and there were many screams. It was not easy for them to subdue the fierce horses and settle down. Most of the athletes had already rushed to the core, so their Iron Barrel Formation had lost its meaning. As a result, the formation became a circle, surrounding dozens of athletes. Everyone came together to watch the final good show of contention.
Li Shimin laughed loudly under Huang Luo’s umbrella, “Alright. To be a general, you need to have a winning heart. It seems that Qin Mubai won the first round of the intelligence test. I want to see how strong his martial arts skills are and whether he can fight against the heroes to ensure that the bow in his hand won’t be lost!”
“Your Majesty, this is probably difficult, right?” Li Junxian said, “He and Cheng Huaibi only have two people, but the enemy is everyone else. The group of Changsun Huan is obviously stronger than the others!”
“I have already said that this Baiji must be brave and scheming. Wisdom alone is not enough. He must also be strong enough to fight against the heroes without losing.” Li Shimin smiled meaningfully and said, “One of them is indispensable!”
On the field, Changsun Huan shouted loudly. Six or seven riders, led by Yuchi Baoyun, charged towards Qin Mubai with guns.
Qin Mubai sneered.
Although these people had some tricks, Yuchi Baoyun’s martial arts skills were even more extraordinary. Six or seven people attacked, and his momentum was indeed extraordinary.
However, most of them were just flirtatious. Compared to Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie, they were too far off!
In fact, comparing these officials to Qin and Cheng was simply an insult to Qin Shubao and Cheng Zhijie. If it was a one-on-one fight, they would probably not be able to defeat Yuwen Hongtai and Yin Yang!
Qin Mubai’s martial arts skills were practiced by those two peak warriors who were so strong that they were abnormal. In King Wu’s Mansion, one-on-many challenges were even more common. Facing such an opponent, it was a bit like killing a chicken with an ox knife!
“Third Brother, be careful. The opponent’s martial arts skills are extraordinarily numerous!” Cheng Huaibi cried out in alarm just now. He felt a blur in front of him. Qin Mubai did not retreat but rushed forward. He rode his horse to kill.
Qin Mubai’s loud roar was like a thunderbolt from the blue, causing Yuchi Baoyun and the others to be shocked-“Killing intent!”
‘”Ah–” Following three neat screams, the three athletes dismounted!
In one move, Qin Mubai used his Taiji Qin Family Spear to pick three people off!
Yuchi Baoyun stopped his horse in panic and stared at Qin Mubai with his bull eyes wide open. “You … what’s your name?”
“Qin Mubai!”
“Are you Qin Qiong’s son?”
“Shut up! How can you call my father by his name?!” Qin Mubai’s eyebrows sank as he spat fire out of his eyes. With a loud shout, he thrust his spear towards Yuchi Baoyun!
Qin Mubai’s anger was justified. No junior is allowed to address an elder by name, or else it would be disrespectful. Not to mention a person like “Qin Qiong”, even the Emperor had always addressed him by the word “Uncle Treasure”!
