Chapter 23: Hit the nail on the head, are there really enemies?

"Horns? And the sound of horse hooves?"

Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao Changsheng strangely.

"alert!"

Gao Changsheng shouted quickly.

But at this moment, his eyes were full of doubts.

Is it really right?
He really didn't expect that a few casual words, half chat and half comforting, could come true in an instant.

The sound of bugles and horse hooves made it clear that an army was heading this way.

Sui army?

It's not impossible, but the possibility is too small.

Now that the Sui army is advancing in a mighty force, how could it suddenly march in the opposite direction?

Marching in the opposite direction means either the troops are in retreat or some other kind of mobilization.

The former is of course impossible.

The war had just begun, where did so many defeated troops of the Sui Dynasty come from?

The second one, however, makes sense.

But it obviously doesn't look like that.

If it was the Sui army that suddenly moved in the opposite direction, it would definitely inform nearby troops to avoid causing misunderstandings.

Even if it is a covert military operation, scouts should be eliminated along the front route to avoid collision with friendly forces.

But none of this exists in front of me.

Then there can only be one explanation.

"There really are enemy troops coming!"

Luo Cheng exclaimed, his eyes full of excitement.

Gao Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, enemies actually appeared on this food route where there was no possibility of problems.

Although Gao Changsheng was surprised, he quickly calmed down.

This is indeed a huge surprise.

But before setting out on this expedition, he had already anticipated in his mind that this war would not go too smoothly.

"One team guards the food and the other teams line up to meet the enemy!"

Gao Changsheng shouted softly!
Although Luo Cheng is the son of King Beiping, he is in this grain and fodder team.

Gao Changsheng is the supreme commander, and the former is only a deputy general.

After all, no matter what, Gao Changsheng still has the title of Duke of Qi.

"Yes!"

Luo Cheng shouted loudly.

The troops in the rear quickly formed up.

A square formation was formed with several hundred of Luo Cheng's personal soldiers at the head.

At this time, there were only eighteen guards left by Luo Cheng's side.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Under the sharp gazes of the two.

As billowing smoke and dust swept in, the opposing troops finally revealed their true appearance.

"Huh, is this the White Clothes Crossing the River incident?"

Gao Changsheng snorted coldly.

Because at this moment, the troops galloping over from the opposite side were all wearing civilian clothes!
"What white clothes, what crossing the river?" Luo Cheng asked in confusion.

"nothing?"

Gao Changsheng waved his hand.

"Look at the scale, there are three to four thousand people!"

"how is this possible?"

Luo Cheng's face was full of confusion.

"How did thousands of troops, including men and horses, cross the front line and cross Liucheng? Are all the people in the front blind?"

"Maybe it's not the blind man, but..."

Gao Changsheng raised his head and looked towards the north, and said something in a low voice.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

"What I mean is, it's a good thing we are here, otherwise a group of cavalrymen like this would roam around freely, and our army would have no peace in the rear."

"Not bad!"

Luo Cheng also nodded repeatedly.

"I never thought that I would receive credit for delivering food and fodder."

After laughing, he quickly turned to look at Gao Changsheng: "Brother Gao, er, General Gao, how about letting me fight?"

As he spoke, his face even flushed, obviously he was excited.

Gao Changsheng couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't refuse. He waved his hand generously and said:

"Go ahead and be careful!"

The words just fell.

The blood in Luo Cheng's body began to rise.

"All cavalry, follow me and charge!"

Gao Changsheng nodded. Luo Cheng, at this age, obviously has not yet reached his peak.

But judging from the burst of qi and blood, he is about to enter the fifth level.

The fourth and fifth levels of the Way of the Soldier are already equivalent to the innate realm of the Way of Martial Arts.

Going one step further and entering the sixth level, you become a master.

From this point of view alone, Luo Cheng deserves his reputation as a genius.

As for the enemy in front of us.

Judging from the strength of the soldiers alone, the enemy is definitely superior to theirs.

On Gao Changsheng's side, except for Luo Cheng's three hundred elite soldiers, the rest were ordinary soldiers.

In a war, the army is naturally the foundation, but there is actually another decisive factor.

That is the leader.

Fighting on the battlefield has always been an art of commanding the generals and an art of military formations.

"Follow my orders, form a sharp arrow formation, and cut through them!"

A clear voice was heard, and the assaulting troops quickly began to change.

A sharp aura took shape in the field.

Gao Changsheng looked at the sharp arrow that was vaguely taking shape in the field and nodded in appreciation.

Although Luo Cheng was young, he was not reckless when marching.

The Fengshi Formation is just a basic formation and is not complicated.

Luo Cheng was indeed smart in choosing to use this formation.

After all, the quality of the troops in this army is uneven, and the formation is too complicated, so it simply won't work.

Just like now in the field.

Although the charging troops were in the shape of an arrow, most of their momentum came from the hundreds of personal soldiers in the front.

Fortunately, this long arrow also has its own unique features.

There are two sharp blades, one is Luo Cheng who is leading the way, and the other is a black shadow.

"This is truly an enviable troop!"

Gao Changsheng couldn't help but whisper.

Of course he couldn't be talking about those personal soldiers, but that dark shadow.

The Eighteen Riders of Yanyun.

The hundreds of personal soldiers simply followed Luo Cheng's command and formed their battle formations.

Although the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun were independent, they were able to skillfully integrate their aura into the sharp arrows, without even needing Luo Cheng's command.

Any general would envy such an army.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

On the plain.

The two armies were approaching each other at a very fast speed.

The terrifying murderous aura has begun to gather.

"Ok?"

"The other party didn't have any response?"

Gao Changsheng let out a light exclamation.

The penetrating ability of the Fengshi formation is extremely strong.

However, the attacking troops from the opposite side did not change at all and remained the same as before.

"The other side has no commander, or the commander is not familiar with military formations?"

Gao Changsheng had a flash of thought.

At this time, Luo Cheng, who was leading the way, also had a trace of disdain on his face.

"kill!"

With a loud shout.

The two armies collided fiercely.

"interesting!"

"Is there really no command?"

Gao Changsheng chuckled.

In the distance, the Sui army penetrated into the enemy army like sharp arrows, and in just a few moments they broke through the opposing troops.

At this time, the other side did not react much, and even the army divided into two halves did not gather quickly.

Instead, they split into two teams, one half went to meet Luo Cheng's cavalry, and the other half turned their horses around and headed towards Gao Changsheng.

"Is there no command, or do you want to attack Wei to save Zhao?"

"If that's the case, it's really ridiculous."

"Shield soldiers in front, spear soldiers in the middle, archers in the back!"

Gao Changsheng shouted softly.

Red qi and blood flow out of the body.

The infantry who remained in place quickly began to form a battle line as if they were being pulled.

"shoot!"

"Arrows are rushing forward like a torrent!"

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a loud and gentle chant suddenly exploded!
