Chapter 63 Mo Dao Array
It turned out that Lin Feng's purpose of setting down the sank horse formation was not to kill the enemy, but to let the sank horse formation play the role of the archer in front of the Modao Formation to block the speed of the cavalry.
Suo Chao, who was standing in the middle of the front row, roared angrily: "Get up, one."
The sharp sword with a length of 1.5 meters was swung together, and swung it from the lower right to the upper left, and a slightly arc-shaped knife line was drawn regularly, and it slashed diagonally above the top of the head. The first row of swords hit the first row of cavalry, and slashed a blood forest with the people and the sword.
Suo Chao waved his sword and cut off the head of a cavalry in front of him, and then cut the horse's waist and ribs on the horse's cavalry, then to his chest and right arm, and cut the whole person into two halves. The cavalry died before he even screamed.
Suo Chao, whose face was splattered by blood, did not stop at all, and shouted: "Luo, two, top, three."
The Mo Dao, who was raised at the same time, suddenly slashed straight down. Mo Dao took three steps up at the same time, swung Mo Dao from the lower left to the upper right, and once again showed a neat and dazzling sword light.
"Calm, four." Suo Chao's loud voice rose again, and all the Modao suddenly retracted and stabbed them out suddenly. The Modao hand in the front three rows almost pierced the entire cavalry in front of him.
"Fall, one." Mo Dao fell heavily again, swung from the lower right to the upper left again, and began another round of cycle.
The neat and straight sword lights were as dazzling as the sun and as ruthless as the moonlight, and the cavalry within the sword light range were chopped down one after another. Seeing the cavalry in the first five rows disappear like dust, the cavalry behind desperately pulled the reins, hoping to avoid the deadly sword light.
However, the Modao Formation, which was moving steadily forward, pressing forward step by step, wrapped the frightened cavalry in, and then turned into pieces of flesh and blood.
"Entering like a wall, standing like a wall." Wusheng Jiedushi Hou Zhang murmured. When he was young, he had seen the Modao Formation show his power in the battle. The tragic realm seemed to be hidden deep in his memory. But compared with the Modao Formation in front of him, the Modao Formation that time was like a child's game. The Modao Formation in front of him was more powerful and the Modao Formation was more powerful. With one knife, the horses, bodies, and even armor could not block the sword's momentum.
"Call the gong and let the cavalry retreat." Li Gu and Zhao Kuangyin roared at the same time. The urgent gong sounded and came into the ears of Zhou Jun who was stunned.
Lin Feng, who was already scared, looked proudly at Li Congqian, then at the soldiers who were staring beside him, was very proud and ordered: "Speak the gong and let Mo Daozhe come back and rest."
Modao is one of Lin Feng’s secret weapons for the war between the north and the south.
As a military fan, Lin Feng later searched and studied the world-famous Tang Dao online, especially the Mo Dao that made the surrounding cavalry frightened.
Modao is a double-edged long sword held by infantry in the Tang Dynasty. It developed from the Western Han Dynasty and absorbed the shape and smelting technology of the Han Lumodao and the Six Dynasties long swords. Around the Divine Years of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty, Modao became popular, mainly used to fight against the rampant Turkic cavalry in the north. Later, it became popular among the various armies. It was specially used to deal with the "Four Barbarians" who dominated the border with cavalry on the Tang Dynasty. It became a popular weapon to restrain cavalry and was popular until the late Tang Dynasty.
However, Modao itself is extremely heavy, and its weight is generally between more than ten kilograms and thirty kilograms. It is precisely because of its heavy weight that not only has high requirements for Modao Hands, but naturally has extremely high requirements for smelting technology. It is precisely these two reasons that since the fifth generation, Modao and Modao Formation have basically disappeared and have only become the legend of weapons in historical records.
The Old Book of Tang, edited in the Later Jin Dynasty, recorded: "Kan Ling, a native of Linji, Qizhou, used a big knife, one zhang long and two blades, named Mo Bian. Every time he rushed, he killed several people, and there was no one before (blocking)." In addition, the Old Book of Tang? Biography of Pei Xingjian recorded: "In the first year of the Dianlu (Gaozong of Tang, 679 AD), the Turkic Ashinadewen Fu rebelled... (Pei) Xingjian arrived in Shuozhou... Then he pretended to be 300 grain chariots, each with five chariots, each carrying a Mo knife and a powerful crossbow, so as to win hundreds of soldiers to support the chariots, and also hid elite soldiers, and ordered them to stay in danger." In addition, the unearthed documents of Turpan and other places also recorded the equipment of Mo Dao in the early Tang Dynasty before Tianbao.
Lin Feng also found a Tang straight sword in the Tang Dynasty that was praised as a national treasure by Japan and collected in Kashima Shrine. He remembered that the blade was as long as 223 cm long. If a long hilt was added, the total length could easily reach one zhang. This should be the prototype of the Tang Dynasty Mo sword.
It is precisely because of his endless yearning for Modao that when reinforcements from all over the country arrived, Lin Feng selected 300 of the most fierce men from all military branches and all reinforcements, and has been concentrating on secret training of Modao formation. The daily training content is to stand in line discipline, run long-distance running and practice physical strength, throw stone locks to practice strength, and wield big swords to practice killing. In early September, the carefully crafted Modao equipment was in place one after another, and the Modao soldiers concentrated on the final battle formation training.
A period of cold and quietness appeared on the battlefield. The Zhou army, who had been cheering on the river bank, all sounded silently, and no more sound was heard.
The Zhou cavalry, which had not been in contact with the Modao Formation, retreated one after another. As soon as many soldiers returned to the fortress, they slid down from their horses and slid on the ground and shivered. Two soldiers even vomited on the spot. They were whipped twice by the angry Li Chongjin and ordered to drag them aside.
The Modao team stopped when they heard the order, turned around together, dragged the knife back, and their steps were still firm and powerful, and the whole ground seemed to be flexing with their rhythm.
Suo Chao was two steps behind, turned around and raised his sword to point to the Zhou army. The man froze for a moment. The thick blood continued to drip along the long blade, but it hit the hearts of every Zhou army like a loud noise.
Suo Chao let out a long roar, bent down and picked up a white cloth banner stained with blood from the ground, and hung it to the top of the Modao again, "Li Gu, can you dare to attack?" The six big words, like six sharp knives, stabbed all Zhou soldiers in the eyes, making their bodies tremble.
Lin Feng stepped forward and pounded the chests of several brothers hard. Finally, he hugged Suo Chao, raised his thumb and praised: "Beautiful job, great power."
Suo Chao grinned and said roughly: "What a pity, they were so scared that they dared not rush up, and they were not satisfied with the killing."
"Don't worry, I have the chance to kill the northern cavalry in the future." Lin Feng responded mysteriously, took Suo Chao's big sword, waved the white cloth banner in the air, and shouted, "Li Gu, do you dare to attack?"
"Li Gu, do you dare to attack?" The Shouzhou army, whose morale was even more energetic, shouted in unison.
The bloody scene of the Modao Formation caused bloody scene Pan Long, the head of the Tujia clan of Chenzhou, pulled off his clothes, waved the long Miao knife with his remaining right hand, and made a "screaming" roar. Of course, the other Tujia soldiers would learn from their patriarchs, all pulled off their shirts, and shouted wildly.
At this time, the Shouzhou Army took another unbelievable action. The entire army started from behind and took one hundred steps back one by one, revealing a larger space in front of the position. The soldiers also unloaded the bows and arrows and threw them into the formation. Each of them brought only a close-fitting steel knife. Lin Feng also pulled off his shirt, waved his knife, hooked his index finger, and took the lead in provoking to the north. The entire army challenged "If you have the courage, come and have the flesh to compete."
"Ship Li, please allow the last general to lead 30,000 troops to attack." Zhao Kuangyin saw the arrogant provocation of the Shouzhou army, and then looked at the generals and soldiers who had not yet faded their fear, and suddenly knelt down and asked for a fight.
"Okay, order 30,000 troops, and you will be in charge of the Shouzhou army to fight with the Shouzhou army and promote the power of our Great Zhou army." Li Gu also woke up from the fear and immediately agreed to Zhao Kuangyin's request. In this situation, if he dared not fight head-on with the Shouzhou army, he was afraid that the entire army would not only lose the confidence to win Shouzhou, but also lose the courage to face the Shouzhou army directly.
Zhao Kuangyin pressed his left hand on the fortress city card, and he jumped down, then jumped up high, stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers in front to the front to the front, turned around and roared, "I want 30,000 brothers to fight closely with the Shouzhou Army. It is the warriors of the Great Zhou, so I will stand up automatically."
