Chapter 2657 The Four Great Zombie Ancestors, Bloodthirsty Jiang Chen
On the high slope where Ji Chengfu was, Ji Chengfu suddenly raised his head.
As Xue Rengui drew closer, he could feel the tremors coming from beneath his feet, growing stronger and closer.
"Chain horses!" Ji Chengfu's deputy general, Shi Ganying, changed his expression instantly.
"It's the Wang family's linked cavalry formation!"
Shi Ganying and his brother Shi Ganxiong were both famous generals of the Great Qian Dynasty. However, one of them was Jiang Che's man, while the other was close to Jiang Ren.
After Jiang Che's downfall, Shi Ganying, persuaded by Shi Ganxiong, finally submitted to the current Daqian Dynasty.
In fact, after those princes fell from power, apart from a small number of loyalists, most of the generals did not have much resistance to this.
After all, they were originally generals, so serving any prince was the same to them. Moreover, Jiang Chaoyu and Jiang Ren now completely represented the legitimate court of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Those new generation generals may not have heard of the Wang family's linked cavalry formation, but how could these veteran generals not have heard of it?
Although there aren't many cavalry units in the world that use linked horse formations, you can still find a few, and the Wang Family Black Cavalry's linked horse formation is definitely one of the more famous ones.
After all, among the cavalry who used linked cavalry formations, very few could form linked cavalry formations quickly from a single rider without slowing down during a high-speed charge, just like the Black Cavalry.
It's impossible to do this without long-term training.
In fact, although the Black Riders' chain cavalry formation was famous, they didn't actually use it often.
As a comprehensive cavalry unit, it was designed from the outset to train tactics for various battle situations. Their training in chain cavalry combat was solely for countering heavy cavalry, using multiple cavalry units in combination to compensate for the relative lack of impact from heavy cavalry.
While they have this tactic, it doesn't mean they should engage in a direct confrontation with heavy cavalry. After all, such a clash with heavy cavalry would result in significant losses for them, and their elite troops shouldn't be wasted.
Therefore, the Black Knights would not use the linked horse formation very often. Although this formation has obvious advantages, its disadvantages are equally obvious.
"General, let's go!" Jiang Chen roared as he rushed forward, grabbed Ji Chengfu's reins, and ordered his men to escort Ji Chengfu away as quickly as possible.
Judging from the commotion, the enemy is very close. If they manage to attack, even he is not entirely confident that he can protect Ji Chengfu.
Ji Chengfu shook off his hand and stared intently at the approaching black torrent.
The torrent was moving too fast, so fast that he didn't even have time to think, to give orders, to...
"General! You go first!" At this moment, Shi Ganying didn't care about anything else. He immediately grabbed Ji Chengfu's warhorse, slashed at the horse's rump with his sword, and forcibly carried it away.
Under these circumstances, there's no longer any room for disrespect or insubordination.
Of these 300,000-plus soldiers, anyone can die here today, except for Ji Chengfu.
"Listen up, everyone! Form a battle formation and block our way here!" Jiang Chen roared hoarsely.
He did not leave with them, but instead led three thousand of his personal guards to hold the line, buying time for Ji Chengfu to escape to a safe distance. The three thousand men quickly formed ranks in the darkness. No one spoke, no one fled. The three thousand men whom Ji Chengfu had chosen to guard the core of the central army were naturally the elite of the elite, and their fighting spirit was far beyond that of ordinary soldiers.
In particular, these three thousand men were well-equipped, each wearing three layers of heavy armor, carrying long spears and sturdy shields, and armed with powerful bows and crossbows, making them a truly formidable army.
The sound of hooves grew closer and louder, shaking the very ground beneath their feet. Jiang Chen gripped his Heavenly Fiend Blood-Coagulating Spear tightly and addressed the soldiers, "Hold your ground."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the black torrent crashed head-on into him.
boom!
The first rank of heavily armored cavalrymen crashed into the three thousand guards' lines like a giant wave. Spears broke, shields shattered, and human bodies were like paper before the iron cavalry.
Screams, the sound of flesh and bone shattering, and the clanging of metal exploded simultaneously, echoing through the night sky.
But those three thousand men actually withstood the first wave of attack. Their lines caved in several feet, but they never collapsed.
As the soldiers in the front ranks were killed or wounded, the soldiers in the back ranks immediately took their place. Spears pierced through the gaps in the shields, stabbing into the necks of warhorses and into the waists of cavalrymen. People kept falling, but people kept taking their place.
Jiang Chen slashed a cavalryman who charged in front of him with his spear, blood splattering all over his face. He didn't wipe it away, but just stared intently at the torrent that was still surging forward.
"withstand!"
He roared furiously, and the Heavenly Fiend Blood-Coagulating Spear swept across, sending three heads flying.
"Ding! Jiang Chen's Blood Fiend skill activated."
Blood Fiend: Slaughtering thousands of miles, blood fiend surges, slaughtering all directions, calamity descends. It can be upgraded to the True God skill Blood God or Fiend God. Once one is upgraded, the other cannot be upgraded.
Effect 1, Bloodlust Power: After this skill effect is activated, the user's attack power increases by 5.
Effect Two: Bloodthirsty Might. The stronger one's fighting spirit or killing intent, the more one's martial power can erupt, increasing by 3 points each time, up to a maximum of three times; when one's fighting spirit or killing intent reaches a certain level, it can erupt three times in a row.
Effect 3, Blood Kill: Each wound inflicted on the opponent will suppress their combat power by one point.
Effect 4, Blood Poison, Effect 3, each time it is activated, will suppress the opponent's intelligence to a certain extent. If the opponent's intelligence is reduced to a certain level within a short period of time, it will never recover, and the opponent's mind will be greatly affected. The opponent will be unable to distinguish friend from foe and will attack everyone except those affected by this skill.
Effect 5: Bloodthirsty Body. As the number of times Effect 3 is activated and the amount of blood energy on the battlefield increases, the recovery speed of one's physical strength and power will be increased to a certain extent.
Jiang Chen also followed a bloody path, but his path was completely different from the traditional bloody paths of Yang Zaixing and Bian Jiuyou.
The traditional path of bloodshed, exemplified by Yang Zaixing and Bian Jiuyou, involves using injuries as fuel and exchanging life for strength. Therefore, although they were incredibly successful in their youth, many martial arts masters above them dared not risk their lives against them.
However, precisely because of this, they accumulated too many hidden injuries, and their peak period was much shorter than that of normal generals.
Jiang Chen's case is completely different; he uses the blood of his enemies as a medium.
This is precisely why, although Jiang Chen's skill has a very powerful negative suppression effect, it is not so easy to activate.
In a battle between opponents of the same level, unless it's a true life-or-death struggle where you trade injuries for injuries or lives, it's not so easy to injure your opponent multiple times.
