Chapter 123: Horse hooves trample across, three swords slash the body of the diamond
A tiger among a flock of sheep can crush them with ease.
This is the first impression that comes to anyone's mind after seeing the battlefield scene at this moment.
A series of earth walls instantly divided hundreds of thousands of coalition forces into blocks.
Such a sudden change naturally shocked everyone in the two armies.
Both Murong Baoding and Zhong Liangqi Shence's expressions changed immediately.
The army formation was broken and the terrain changed drastically. Everyone knew what this change meant.
Gao Changsheng can only be Gao Changsheng.
The contempt that had previously emerged in Murong Baoding's heart had long been thrown behind him.
Gao Changsheng, the Duke of Qi of the Sui Dynasty, whom he had only heard of but never seen, was definitely the most terrifying opponent he had ever met in his life.
He suppressed three generals of two countries with his own strength, and covered three formations with one formation. Not only that, he could even easily take advantage of the terrain covered by other military formations.
Such overbearing and unreasonable means can send chills down one's spine.
But at this time, Murong Baoding obviously no longer had the mind to think about the reason.
Because the thunder has already fallen.
The overwhelming sound of horse hooves came from all directions, piercing his ears directly and unreasonably.
"Kill! Kill!"
Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao and the others roared loudly, and led the cavalry in the city to charge out of the battle array at the first opportunity. Their originally pale faces were now flushed red with ecstasy.
Because of the continuous fighting, several people suffered different injuries.
Especially the weakest Lieutenant General Li, who had several deep wounds on his left arm that could see the bones. He hung weakly on the side and could only charge with a gun in one hand.
But even in this half-crippled state, he displayed an overwhelming momentum.
All these changes happened just because of that name.
He is back, Zuo Wuwei’s heaven, their god is back.
The unparalleled formation that was high in the sky and covered all directions clearly told everyone that Gao Changsheng had arrived.
And as long as that person is there and his formation is there, no matter what is ahead, even if they only have one breath left, even if there is a sea of hellfire ahead, they will dare to charge forward without hesitation.
"boom!"
As the army rushed out, the earth wall blocking the front instantly moved to the left and right, and a panicked Northern Mang cavalry was instantly exposed in front of Luo Cheng and others.
"kill!"
"Roar!"
Murong Baoding let out a roar of extreme fear.
"Zhong Liang, don't hesitate any longer. Let's work together to form a military formation, break through the obstacles around us, and unite our forces."
The situation around him was extremely chaotic at this time. Because of the obstruction of the earth walls, he could not see where the Zhongliang army was.
But at this moment, he could only communicate with the other party by roaring like this.
Luo Cheng, Qin Shubao and others led their cavalry to charge out with great momentum.
But in Zhong Liang's eyes, that was not the most noteworthy thing.
Although Luo Cheng and others were full of enthusiasm, that was only because the appearance of Gao Changsheng had boosted their morale.
But no matter what, they are tired and remnant soldiers after all. No matter how powerful they are, they alone cannot control the entire battle situation.
What shocked and frightened Murong Baoding the most was the rolling horses coming from all directions.
The shaking earth and the murderous intent rising into the sky all reveal a horrible fact.
There are reinforcements. Gao Changsheng actually has reinforcements.
How can it be?
Murong Baoding had the same reaction as when Lu Shengxiang first met him.
It turned out that Gao Changsheng was not in Baichuan City from beginning to end, and he even had reinforcements at his disposal.
Each of these things undoubtedly challenges Murong Baoding's cognition.
But at this time, he obviously didn't have time to think about the reasons carefully.
Now there were only two things before him.
Gao Changsheng arrived, and he had a large number of reinforcements at his disposal.
Considering the situation on the field, it is obvious what Gao Changsheng is planning.
"He...he wants to annihilate us? All he wanted from the beginning to the end was to annihilate us completely?"
Murong Baoding's voice was trembling.
You must know that the troops on the field now are the combined forces of the two countries, nearly 300,000 troops, and they are all elite soldiers and good generals.
Such a large elite corps would be enough to launch a war of annihilation in other places.
You should know that when the Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo, it only mobilized this much force.
But now Gao Changsheng actually wants to swallow up such a huge army in one bite, and it is even possible that he had already planned this before the war.
Murong Baoding was shaking all over. He was angry and afraid.
He was angry because he suddenly realized that Gao Changsheng had never taken him seriously from the beginning to the end, and the other party had always been concerned about the soldiers in the hands of several people.
The fear was because he discovered a terrible fact: Gao Changsheng's plan had succeeded, and now they might really be destroyed here.
So without any hesitation, Murong Baoding started to contact Zhong Liang.
At this point, he has completely given up the plan to annihilate Gao Changsheng. What he needs to consider now is how to escape from Gao Changsheng's fatal attack and save his life.
Sometimes the battlefield is just so dramatic.
From encirclement to being encircled, from great victory to great defeat, such changes between heaven and earth sometimes happen in an instant.
"Zhongliang, what are you waiting for?"
Murong Baoding roared madly, with light shining on his body, but unfortunately the formation above was like a giant hand that suppressed the heaven and earth, firmly suppressing everything below.
Murong Baoding alone could not make any waves.
At this point, he couldn't help but be anxious. If he didn't gather his troops together as soon as possible and wait until Gao Changsheng's encirclement was completely completed, they would really have no chance.
At this point, they no longer have any other choice. All the distinctions between superiors and subordinates can be thrown out of the window. Survival is undoubtedly the most important thing.
But unfortunately, Murong Baoding did not wait for Zhong Liang's response.
What appeared in his eyes was a bright light, a knife light, an extremely shining knife light.
The earth wall originally placed in front collapsed.
Murong Baoding's pupils shrank as the shadow of a man holding a knife appeared in his eyes. Behind him were teams of murderous cavalrymen who were like a torrent.
The great formation in the sky suddenly shone brightly at this moment, and invisible forces surged down like streams of water.
The already majestic sword light surged again at this moment.
The sword was hanging upside down, like a falling Milky Way, and surrounding the sword light was endless murderous aura.
Song Que, the Heavenly Sword.
No, you can say it is Song Que, but it is not Song Que.
Murong Baoding naturally couldn't be unaware of Song Que, the Heavenly Sword who lived in Lingnan.
The reason why he was named Tian Dao was not only because of his skills in swordsmanship, but also because of his extremely aloof character.
But such a world-famous Tiandao has transformed into a general who charges into battle.
At this moment, the sword light shining like the Milky Way in the sky did come from Song Que.
But the source of power behind it is the peerless military formation that is always shining.
The world-famous Heavenly Sword has now actually turned into a sword and is willingly held in the hands of another person.
Murong Baoding's pupils trembled. He was shocked by Gao Changsheng's methods and shocked by Song Que's choice.
What shocked and even terrified him even more was where the knife fell.
The army shrouded in the flash of swords and the aura of murder was a huge army.
In the center is a man with a sturdy build and a panicked look on his face.
It was not someone else, but the Zhong Liang he had been yelling at before.
"The entire army will charge towards where the Zhong family army is."
Without any hesitation, Murong Baoding roared immediately. At this moment he threw away all other calculations and thoughts.
The first thing to do is to lead the army to rescue Zhongliang.
After all, once Zhong Liang falls and the Zhong family army is defeated, their army will completely lose its vitality and will no longer have the ability to resist.
But just when Murong Baoding's banner was about to move.
Another more dazzling and vast sword light appeared.
Song Que's sword gives people the impression of being sharp and fierce.
The knife that appeared at this moment, as soon as it flashed, gave people a feeling of dominance.
Like a god, like a devil.
Look down on everything, despise everything, and then suppress everything.
"High, long, and alive."
Murong Baoding's voice was trembling.
This person who had been mentioned countless times and made all enemies tremble with fear finally appeared, rolling in with a torrent of iron hooves that could destroy everything.
All the intercepting earth walls disappeared at this moment.
Gao Changsheng did not use any other tactics. He surrounded the enemy with his cavalry and used only the most primitive attack. He crushed the enemy with unparalleled force.
The northern troops used Songque as the spearhead and headed straight for Zhongliang's troops.
In the south, Li Yuanba was the vanguard, and together with Luo Cheng and Qin Shubao who rushed out of the city, they attacked Qi Shence's imperial guards.
And this last western part was led by Gao Changsheng himself.
Yes, at this moment, in front of the army, leading the cavalry, it was Gao Changsheng.
This time, he did not continue to command from the back. After all, the current situation did not require him to command from the center.
The great formation has been put in place, the cavalry is in place, and the next thing to do is to crush everything with the force of thunder.
"Stop, stop them. Stop them for me."
Murong Baoding roared at the top of his lungs, but the panic in his voice could not be concealed.
Gao Changsheng ignored the other party's voice, and even from beginning to end, he didn't even look at Murong Baoding.
His eyes were fixed on the distance, where there was nothing and no one.
But it was the end of the cavalry's advance.
As for everything along the way, whether it was Murong Baoding or the Beimang cavalry, they were nothing but dust under the iron hooves.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
The sound of thunder rolled down.
The dense defense of the Beimang army had no effect at all.
The entire army was like a piece of paper and was easily torn in half.
Bright red blood spurted out.
The Beimang cavalry who rushed forward to intercept were like eggs hitting a stone, and were instantly shattered.
Limbs, broken arms, and even chopped-off horses kept falling to the ground and were then crushed into dust under the rolling horses' hooves.
At this moment, every part of Murong Baoding's body was shaking.
With the support of the peerless formation, and Gao Changsheng personally leading the army to attack.
With all these factors combined, the impact and destructive power displayed by the opposing cavalry was truly terrifying.
The Northern Mang Iron Cavalry led by Murong Baoding himself is absolutely a rare elite force.
But now in front of the other party, he was like a child with no ability to resist.
Murong Baoding had never seen such a terrifying attack.
The iron hooves that were scornful of each other seemed to trample the entire world apart.
Blocking, intercepting, any attempt to stop this kind of sharp edge would probably be futile.
Everyone in Beimang Liyang knew that the Beiliang Army led by Xu Xiao was famous for fighting to the death.
Murong Baoding had never fought against the Northern Liang Army, but he had heard that the Northern Liang Army's charge formation was extremely terrifying.
Especially the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry led by Xu Xiao himself, when their cold swords lit up and their iron hooves stepped on the ground, they were unrivaled.
But at this moment Murong Baoding had a feeling that even if he placed the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry in his current position, it might not be able to withstand Gao Changsheng's attack.
Of course, Murong Baoding no longer has the energy to think about those things now.
From the time Gao Changsheng led his troops to charge to now, it was actually just a moment.
However, nearly half of the army led by Murong Baoding had fallen under the enemy's iron hoof torrent.
That kind of advancing speed and impact force were truly too terrifying.
Even Murong Baoding only had a few thoughts flashing through his mind and had not yet reacted.
Gao Changsheng's troops were about to reach him.
An unprecedented panic suddenly surged into my heart.
It was at this moment that Gao Changsheng, who was moving at a high speed on horseback, suddenly raised his knife.
"Buzz!"
The loud sound of a sword exploded instantly, and the whole world began to shake.
When Murong Baoding felt the momentum of Gao Changsheng's charge, he instantly hid behind the army.
Although half of the army was dispersed and crushed at this time, there was still a large army between Gao Changsheng and Murong Baoding.
But as the sword light rose and then fell, Murong Baoding suddenly discovered that Gao Changsheng's target was not those soldiers.
The sword flashed across the sky, actually crossing the army's obstruction and directly hitting Murong Baoding himself.
"Roar!"
Murong Baoding roared to the sky. He wanted to mobilize the power of the army to defend, but under the suppression of Gao Changsheng's formation, the final harvest was minimal.
As the sound of thunder exploded, unparalleled sword light rolled down.
An extreme sense of danger suddenly came to my mind.
That is the shadow of death.
Murong Baoding could no longer care about anything else, and the true energy in his body rushed out frantically.
The whole body swelled up instantly, and a powerful aura emanated from the body.
The Vajra body of the great treasure bottle.
Murong Baoding's unique martial arts skills are well-known in the martial arts world and are also his strongest means.
This is a purely defensive method.
In the Beimang martial arts world, Murong Baoding has always given people the impression that he is good at defense but not good at attack.
In terms of attack power alone, he might only be considered second-rate.
But if we compare defense, even if we look at the entire Beimang Liyang, I'm afraid there are few people who can match him.
"boom!"
Just at the moment when Murong Baoding held up his Vajra body.
The thunder in the sky surged down like a tide.
The sword light flashed out like the sun, then rolled down and hit Murong Baoding's huge body.
A deafening explosion was heard instantly.
"Ah."
Murong Baoding's whole body trembled violently and he couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.
The originally rosy face also turned pale.
He glanced around and looked at Gao Changsheng in the distance with horror.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the intense pain coming from his body.
With just one sword strike, his Vajra Dharma Body, which had never faced any threat during his roaming of Northern Mang, was torn apart.
But at this moment, he had no time to be frightened or even to think.
Because the sound of swords in the sky exploded again, and a more vast and sharper sword light fell again.
Death, death.
Murong Baoding had never felt so close to death.
The army and the battlefield were all forgotten in an instant.
The true energy in the body gushed out madly without regard for life.
The already huge Vajra Dharmakaya expanded again, blocking in front of him like a pillar of strength that could support the sky and the earth.
Almost at the moment when the Dharma body appeared, the unparalleled sword appeared before his eyes.
"Crack!"
Before the knife flashed, purple thunder had already rolled down.
One after another, lightning bolts that made people's scalps tingle came crashing down.
Murong Baoding's Vajra Body of the Great Vajra Bottle belongs to the Buddhist practice.
But at this moment, there was not even a trace of Buddhist aura on the Dharma body that spanned the sky.
The thunder surged so violently that it submerged the Dharma body in almost the blink of an eye.
From afar, Murong Baoding's Dharma body looked like a giant wearing thunder armor, full of might and domineering aura.
But after listening to the faint shrill screams coming from the Dharma body, it can be seen that Murong Baoding's situation must not be very good at this moment.
"Kacha, kacha!"
As the sea of thunder surged, the sword light also struck the Dharma body without any hindrance.
Crisp cracking sounds were heard instantly.
Accompanied by an earth-shattering howl, the huge Dharma body that had just risen up instantly exploded.
As the noise disappeared, Murong Baoding's figure reappeared.
However, his image at this time can be described as extremely miserable.
There were dense wounds all over his body, and his left arm was missing. The wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen, and the charred smell caused by lightning could be clearly seen.
Faced with that terrible knife, Murong Baoding used all his strength to barely survive.
But the Vajra Dharmakaya, which had made him famous and extremely proud, had been torn into pieces by the sword light.
But now Murong Baoding had no time to feel sad.
Because from above the nine heavens, another ray of sword light was rolling down.
"Do not……"
Murong Baoding looked up to the sky and let out a desperate roar.
Just from the aura, he could be sure that this third sword was more powerful and more terrifying than the previous two.
Even if he was intact, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to block the knife.
Not to mention his current half-crippled state with only one breath left.
"boom!"
But Gao Changsheng obviously didn't give him any time.
Almost at the moment when the wailing appeared, the knife flashed as expected.
The entire figure was instantly submerged in the light of swords and lightning.
At the moment when Murong Baoding was shattered by the sword light, the cavalry led by Gao Changsheng just happened to wipe out the blocking Beimang army and arrived at the location of Murong Baoding's flag.
