Chapter 751: Queyue! Queyue Formation!
When the Night Fury's cavalry swept in like a storm, what they saw was this scene: an arc-shaped defense line formed by chariots and soldiers, quietly lying in front of them, like an insurmountable chasm.
Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi looked at each other, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.
They had never seen such a peculiar formation. It was neither a traditional phalanx nor a simple cavalry charge. Instead, it cleverly combined infantry, chariots, and cavalry to form an unprecedented battle formation.
But it was soon overshadowed by the fighting spirit in his heart. Zhao Kuangyin stood on standby in the rear, ready to provide support at any time, while Zhao Guangyi on the side did not hesitate to lead Shi Shouxin and a cavalry to charge towards the opposite side.
Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know if you pull it out and run around!
"Ding! Liu Yu's skill Que Yue is activated!
Queyue: The Queyue formation is so powerful that it can swallow up thousands of miles. It can defeat cavalry with infantry, which is shocking. Emperor Wu of Song, Liu Yu, defeated the elite cavalry of Northern Wei with this formation, and became famous in one battle. This skill is unique to Liu Yu.
Effect 1: Crescent arc light, when leading troops in battle, increases your own command value by 2 points. If you are on a flat river bank or similar favorable terrain, your own command value will be increased by an additional 1 point. When you lead cavalry or face cavalry, your own command value will be increased by an additional 1 point again. When you rely on the terrain to form the "Que Yue Formation", increase the entire army's military strength by 1 point and your own command value by 1 point, and the morale of the army is high and not easily shaken.
Effect 2: A last-ditch battle. After deploying the "Queyue Formation", all soldiers in the army will enter a last-ditch battle state, increasing their own and all soldiers' military strength by 1 point, and their fighting will is firm, not afraid of life and death. In this state, if the number of enemy troops is more than twice that of our army, the entire army's military strength and their own command value will be increased by an additional 1 point.
Effect 3: Crossbow arrows rain down. When deploying the formation, if you carry long-range weapons such as large crossbows, the long-range attack capability of the entire army will be enhanced. Each long-range attack can cause an additional suppression effect of 1 point of force value on the opponent, which lasts for 3 rounds.
Effect 4: The Moon Wheel Destroys Cavalry. When the "Reject Moon Formation" is used against cavalry, if the number of enemy cavalry is more than twice that of our infantry, the enemy's entire army's strength value and the enemy's main general's command value will be reduced by an additional 1 point.
Effect 5: A stunning battle. When the "Queyue Formation" successfully resists multiple enemy charges and the morale of the entire army is high, and Liu Yu commands the entire army to launch a decisive counterattack, Liu Yu's own military strength will instantly increase by 3 points, and his command value will increase by an additional 1 point. During the counterattack, all soldiers in the army are immune to all negative effects!
Liu Yu’s current basic command value is 100. Once the skill Que Yue effect is activated, he will rely on favorable terrain to deploy the "Que Yue Formation", and when facing cavalry, his command value will be +2+1+1+1.
Liu Yu's current command value has risen to 105! "
However, when they actually came into contact with the Queyue Formation, they discovered how terrifying this formation was.
The chariot was stronger than one could imagine, as if it was made of the hardest black iron. Even the most powerful warhorse could not shake it in the slightest.
Zhao Guangyi thrust the spear hard, but it only left a shallow scratch on the shield of the chariot, while he himself was hurt by the rebounding force.
Moreover, in the Queyue formation, the long staffs, powerful crossbows, heavy hammers and spears in the hands of Liu Yu's soldiers were like the scythes of the god of death, constantly reaping the lives of the Night Evil Army.
What shocked them even more was that those seemingly fragile infantrymen, under the cover of their shields, launched counterattacks again and again, making the Night Fury cavalry feel unprecedented pressure.
At this moment, the Night Fury Army's cavalry seemed to have hit an indestructible wall, and their originally aggressive charge momentum was forcibly curbed.
Liu Yu, who was in the center of the Queyue formation, also took the opportunity to give orders, and the crossbowmen in the formation began to fire in unison. The dense rain of arrows poured down towards the Yesha army like a dark cloud.
Although the armor rate of the Night Evil Army's cavalry was not low, they still suffered casualties under such a dense rain of arrows. They fell off their horses one after another and were hacked to death by the soldiers in the formation.
"What the hell is this formation?!"
At this time, relying on the impact of the cavalry, Zhao Guangyi slammed into the Queyue formation and cried out in disbelief.
He looked around and saw that his cavalry were divided and surrounded by arc-shaped defense lines formed by chariots and soldiers. The originally neat formation became fragmented.
Shi Shouxin, who was following closely beside Zhao Guangyi, also had a solemn expression on his face. He swung his spear at an infantryman who tried to approach, but found himself locked by a strong crossbowman who suddenly appeared next to him. A sharp arrow whizzed past his shoulder armor, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Guangyi, this formation is extraordinary, you need to be careful when dealing with it!" He reminded loudly, with a bit of anxiety in his voice.
Zhao Guangyi nodded, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
"Humph, it's just a mere formation. Watch how I break it!"
Before he finished speaking, he pulled himself together again and commanded the remaining cavalry to try to find the flaws in the formation.
But the Moon Formation seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how hard they attacked, they could not find an exit.
The chariot's defense line was as solid as a rock, the infantry's counterattack was as sharp as a knife, and the cavalry units hidden on both sides of the formation were like ghosts, rushing out from the flanks from time to time, making the Night Fury Army unable to defend themselves.
"This Liu Yu actually has such a method!"
Zhao Guangyi gritted his teeth, feeling both shocked and angry.
He looked at Shi Shouxin beside him and found that the other's face was also full of helplessness and frustration.
"Keep your word, we...we won't be trapped here, right?"

There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
"Impossible! Aside from Wei Qing, our Night Fury Army has never suffered such a huge defeat against infantry!"
Shi Shouxin shook his head, his eyes determined.
However, before they could finish their words, an even more intense rain of arrows fell from the sky, completely shattering their hopes.
Zhao Guangyi and Shi Shouxin could only barely protect their vital points and watched helplessly as the cavalrymen around them fell one by one, feeling filled with resentment.
When the offensive of the Night Evil Army seemed to weaken slightly, Liu Yu in the formation also decisively issued orders.
The cavalry units hidden on both sides of the formation suddenly pierced into the flanks of the Night Fury Army like two sharp daggers.
Their appearance completely disrupted the Night Fury Army's formation, turning the originally orderly attack into chaos.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin, who had been on standby in the rear and ready to provide support, frowned when he saw this, knowing that if they continued to charge forward like this, facing this strange formation that had never appeared before, the cavalry advantage of the Night Evil Army would probably be wiped out.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin instantly showed the decisiveness that Song Taizu should have. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately ordered Wang Shenqi beside him to take a part of the cavalry to go around the two sides of the formation and try to find the flaws in the formation.
This forced Liu Yu on the opposite side to withdraw his hands, and ordered the cavalry on both wings, which were originally cutting off the cavalry behind Zhao Guangyi, to quickly attack and entangle with the Night Evil cavalry on both sides.
