Chapter 307: The Long Snake Formation Can't Beat Him
Han Yaojun paused, then swallowed his words, "It's nothing, Chu Jiang should be able to handle it."
He was worried that if he said something unlucky, it would come true, so it was better not to say it.
Seeing that he was unwilling to talk, Zhou Yichen did not ask any further questions, but continued to pay attention to the situation in the long snake formation.
Wherever Chu Xi looked, all he saw were Western Chu soldiers hiding behind shields, and the formations were changing rapidly.
She only needed to take a quick glance to know how to break the long snake formation.
Qi Jianshu seemed to have noticed Chu Xi's intention to ride the horse towards the head with a calm and sharp look in his eyes. His expression changed slightly and he shouted.
"Stop him!"
Bian Hangqing happened to be on the way that Chu Xi was going to destroy the head, while Tang Yuhuai was going to the "snake tail" to disrupt their formation.
Bian Hangqing had already been forced to the point where he didn't even know where he had dropped the knife in his hand. He rolled on the ground, and the archers took the opportunity to shoot arrows at him continuously. The long spears penetrated the gaps between the shields and stabbed at him continuously.
Bian Hangqing had lost his weapon and was unable to resist the dozens of arrows. His left hand and right leg were hit by arrows. Blood quickly oozed out, completely dyeing his armor bright red.
Chu Xi, who was on horseback, was also facing dozens of sharp arrows, as well as spears that suddenly stabbed out along the way, but she was still able to shoot back those arrows calmly.
At the same time avoid those intensive attacks.
In such a formation, as long as she didn't get off the horse, there was still a possibility of reaching the head.
Once she got off the horse, she would need to spend three or four times more time and energy to get close to the "head" of the long snake formation under heavy siege and changing formations.
Chu Xi sometimes stood up on the horse, and sometimes lay on the horse, pulling the reins with one hand, and the spear pierced her chin less than an inch away.
If she had not changed her riding posture, she would have had another wound on her abdomen.
Chu Xi's horsemanship made Qi Jianshu, who was watching, look solemn.
Since he knew how to form a battle array, he naturally also knew how to break the long snake array.
Chu Jiang now attacked towards the head with a clear goal, intending to break the formation!
"Tell them to speed up and kill Chu Jiang." Qi Jianshu gave the order.
Upon hearing this, the confidant raised his hand and gestured to the drummer to speed up the drumming.
He needed military merit, and the Qi family needed to regain its fame and reputation.
Chu Xi meets this condition in terms of both identity and ability.
As the beating of the drums became louder and faster, the changes in the long snake formation also began to accelerate, so fast that it was hard to cope!
Every step is filled with murderous intent. If someone with worse horse riding and martial arts skills came here, it would be a blessing if he could not be pierced by thousands of arrows, let alone stay alive!
With superb horsemanship, he held the reins with one hand, bent down, and stretched out his hand to Bian Hangqing.
"Take my hand."
Bian Hangqing reacted quickly and grabbed Chu Xi's hand, then turned his back, completely unaware of the spear stabbing at him from behind.
Upon seeing this, Chu Xi held Bian Hangqing tightly, exerted force, and pulled him onto the horse to sit firmly.
Bian Hangqing sat behind Chu Xi, his left hand, which was shot by an arrow, hanging limply with blood flowing out.
The tip of the gun brushed past Bian Hangqing's thigh, then deflected and stabbed straight at the horse.
Chu Xi naturally couldn't just watch the spear pierce the warhorse. Once the horse was seriously injured, they would be in a passive position.
She turned her right hand holding the sword, and the sword in her hand moved from bottom to top, with the blade horizontal, to take the move.
The spear swept wildly and scratched the back of Chu Xi's hand.
Chu Xi had long been accustomed to pain, but the moment the sharp weapon scratched her skin, the burning and stinging sensation still made her frown unconsciously.
"Chu Jiang!" Bian Hangqing saw blood dripping from the gaps between the boy's fingers holding the sword, and shouted subconsciously.
Chu Xi reminded coldly, "Don't worry about me, just drive the horse and keep going."
Bian Hangqing was suddenly reminded and uttered "oh" twice in succession. Then he reached over Chu Xi's waist in front of him with his right hand that was not hit by the arrow, tightly grasped the reins, and kicked the horse hard.
The horse quickly passed the group of people and rushed towards the center of the formation.
Only Chu Xi and the others who were inside the formation could clearly feel the murderous intent that was pressing closer and closer as the formation changed.
Half of Zhou Yichen's body was almost sticking out of the wall, his eyes fixed on the young man who was trapped in the formation and unable to escape for the time being. The moon-white figure was like a bright color, making people chase him unconsciously.
He clutched the wall tightly with both hands, his anxiety and worry almost overflowing from his eyes.
Zheng Hao wanted to remind him several times that if he stood on the wall like this, he would be targeted by the archers on the opposite side.
Han Yaojun saw that Zhou Yichen was extremely anxious and wished he could fly to Chu Jiang and lend him a hand.
He glanced at the long snake formation under the city and whispered, "Your Highness, even if you are worried about Chu Jiang, please put your own safety first. Xi Chu has archers, be careful of them."
After hearing this, Zhou Yichen just responded casually to indicate that he heard it, but he did not really turn around.
Although Han Yaojun had only been with Chu Jiang for less than three months, he had witnessed with his own eyes how Chu Jiang and Zhou Yichen got along.
Naturally, I know that both of them regard each other as their brothers and confidants.
Since he values the other person so much, he naturally doesn't want to see anything happen to him under his nose.
Now that Chu Jiang has entered the battle, whether as a subject or a commander, he should protect the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan.
Han Yaojun sincerely advised, "Your Highness Prince Yan, you know Chu Qibai better than I do. You should know how powerful he is. A mere long snake formation can't defeat him."
Judging from Chu Jiang's clear goal of heading towards the breakthrough point, Chu Qibai should be familiar with various military books, tactics, and formations.
The Long Snake Formation is one of many formations. It is common and practical, but the method to break it is not complicated!
However, in order for the formation to achieve the desired effect, it requires someone who is very proficient in the formation.
Half of the old generals of Western Chu were killed or wounded in the great war with Great Zhou, and the remaining ones were not famous generals who could take on important responsibilities.
The new generation is even more doomed.
Even Qi Minsong, who prided himself on being the most skilled general in the Qi family, only had a superficial understanding of formations and was unable to master them and use them with ease.
Qi Jianshu's martial arts skills were mediocre and he was not considered outstanding in the Qi family, but he had some talent in formation and could understand the tricks better than others.
Unfortunately, the Qi family did not inherit many formations, and he only knew a few. If the reinforcements from the Great Zhou were not on the way and time was not urgent, he would not have been at his wit's end and had to choose to set up a formation.
Zhou Yichen said in a slightly cold tone, "Knowing is one thing, but on the battlefield, swords and guns are blind and unpredictable. Even if Qi Bai's martial arts skills are high, he is still injured."
The tone was quite unfriendly, and it was clear that he was venting his anger on others.
Fortunately, Han Yaojun didn't want to care about these things because he could understand this feeling.
Zhou Yichen quickly realized his own gaffe and actually vented his anger on an innocent person.
Apologize immediately, "I'm sorry, I'm not mad at you, I'm just worried about them."
Han Yaojun was surprised by Zhou Yichen's apology, and he comforted him in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, Your Highness. If something really happens, I will definitely bring people to rescue them personally."
