The more than two hundred red cavalry who were the first to pass through the woods, in order to prevent the remnants of the Yan army from entering the rugged southern ridge of Jingong Mountain in the north, half of them dismounted and fought, and they boarded a tower due north of the remnants.
It is only four to five feet higher than the surrounding hills and is surrounded by gentle slopes. There are arrays of swords, shields, bows and crossbows.
In order to prevent the horses from being disturbed during the fighting, these horses were held far away by a few people, and half of the cavalry gathered on the east side of the hillock for reinforcements.
In their opinion, although they were at a disadvantage in terms of strength in a short period of time, and there was a big gap between the shields, swords and bows used by the cavalry in battle compared with the infantry, they still had another cavalry force of nearly 300 people approaching the southern part of the woods.
The edge is only four or five miles away, and in a larger area, it is the Chihu people who rule the entire battlefield.
If they dare not fight because of the temporary disadvantage, intercept the remnant army of about 300 people in front of them, and let them escape into Jingong Mountain, especially when there are two commanders in this remnant army, Duyuhou level figures.
, they should never think of raising their heads in front of their colleagues in this life.
However, Xu Huai wanted them to have such confidence and illusion.
Only in this way did they have the opportunity to strangle the hundreds of soldiers who were arrayed at Pogang in front of the southern foot of Jingong Mountain.
After the remaining soldiers led by Liu Yan and Chen Yuan hurriedly ate dry food to replenish their strength, the three hundred men and horses were divided into three teams and went to Po Gang to kill.
Of course, the hundreds of soldiers stationed at Pogang were not in a hurry to counterattack. Two-thirds of the soldiers held swords and shields and formed a circular formation, and one-third of the soldiers held cavalry bows and fired in the circle.
The large shield held by the infantry is much thicker than the round shield held by the soldiers, and can cover the main body parts. However, most of the remaining soldiers were not under each other before they gathered. How could the hastily assembled charge formation be possible?
Tightly organized?
In the panic, soldiers were hit by arrows accurately shot by the captives from time to time. However, Xu Huai turned a deaf ear to the screams. He and Wang Ju, Wang Xian, Yuan Lei, Yan Xiaoyi and others held five positions in front and six in the back.
The sword and shield, like an indestructible cluster of arrows, pushed forward unswervingly.
Niu Er was not good at riding. He had not been able to ride with Xu Huai and others to harass the enemy just now. He was already unwilling to do so. At this time, he was in the middle, tied a long-handled ax behind his back, holding a knife and shield and howling like a wild beast.
Shouting and stepping forward.
If there are Tongbai Mountain soldiers on the left and right, Xu Huai will arrange sword and shield soldiers to the left and right of each of them. He, Wang Ju and Niu will hold swords, sabers, long-handled axes and other heavy weapons in front of them, and they will be the sharpest in cutting.
.
However, these remnants of the Western Army were timid and far from trustworthy, so Xu Huai and the others either abandoned their heavy weapons or lost them behind them. They held a large shield in their left hand to protect their face and torso, and in their right hand they held a straight-ridged and horizontal sword to attack.
Charge forward and kill.
The opponents are all cavalry who are dismounted and fighting. Their swords, bows, shields and armor are all at a disadvantage, and there are no long-handled heavy weapons that can threaten them. Xu Huai and the others do not use long-handled heavy weapons to clear the way. There is no inconvenience and it can be regarded as hiding. - Xu Huai
He and Wang Ju also deliberately placed themselves near Niu Er, fearing that this bastard would become murderous and forgetful.
The Red Husband Cavalry is an extremely elite group of cavalry leaders consisting of 20 to 30 people. They are basically veterans with superb combat skills. They can even hold their breath and cut Xu Huai dozens of times.
Among the hundreds of soldiers stationed in Pogang in front of us, there are four or five such masters. If placed in any cold-weapon army, the proportion is already frighteningly high. This is also the most outstanding result of Chihu’s thirty or forty years of continuous conquests in the desert.
The dazzling results also frightened Xu Huai.
But at this time, in this small battlefield, Xu Huai had no worries.
Needless to say, he and Wang Ju, Niu Er, with his extraordinary strength, did not need to take care of the left and right in a dense battle formation. He only used his sword to cut and chop, and no one on the other side was his opponent.
As a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Xian received Wang Ju's true biography since he was a child. Although he lacked the tempering of bloody battles, his skills were definitely not weak. If Yuan Lei, Yan Xiaoyi and others were to catch each other and fight, they would not be as good as the Chihu people's cavalry.
The eyes are slightly worse.
Xu Huai and other eleven people are part of the arrow cluster in the cone formation. The lineup can be said to be luxurious, not to mention that he is wearing armor and scale armor that is not afraid of arrows and swords; even just eleven of them
, it is not a problem to directly drill through more than a hundred soldiers.
The problem is that they only penetrated more than a hundred soldiers, but the remaining soldiers of the Western Army were unable to form an iron barrel-like encirclement on the outside, and there was no way to strangle all the more than a hundred soldiers on the hillock.
The remnants of the Western Army on the periphery were not in good formation and had low fighting spirit. If they were not careful, they might be dispersed by the fleeing soldiers. This would allow the hundreds of enemy cavalry on the left wing to find an opportunity and rush over on horseback, causing the situation to become completely chaotic.
.
This is obviously not a situation Xu Huai is happy to see, and it is definitely not a suitable tactical arrangement.
Therefore, even if he had the ability, Xu Huai held down the restless Niu Er. After entering the range of the soldiers' cavalry bows, he stopped like a rock less than thirty steps away from the front row of soldiers, and was not in a hurry to chip away at it.
The hole collapsed.
With Xu Huai and the others standing in front, the captured soldiers in the back shot seven or eight people with sharp arrows. The panicked remnants of the Western Army quickly calmed down. They raised their shields and entered behind Xu Huai and others and on the left and right wings.
Established position.
There was a shield array in front to cover it, while the crossbowmen in the back held rifles and fired at the enemy soldiers on the opposite side.
Although the archery skills of the remaining soldiers of the Western Army were much inferior, the range, rate of fire, and penetration of the infantry bow were not comparable to those of the cavalry bow.
The round shields held by the prisoners were equivalent to oversized breast shields, which could not cover all the limbs, waist and hips.
Even if they were shooting at each other within the opponent's range, the remaining soldiers of the Western Army soon gained an overwhelming advantage, forcing the Japanese soldiers to huddle together more densely so that they could be covered with multiple round shields at the same time.
In the further direction, Chen Yuan led a group of remnant soldiers to approach from the west side of Po Gang, and Liu Yan led a group of remnant soldiers to insert from the east side, trying to push the more than a hundred captives on the left wing to the outside.
The intention of the remnants of the Western Army was obvious, which was to surround and annihilate the hundreds of Chi Hu Jian Rui who were fighting on the hillock from three sides. However, the Red Husbands did not pay attention. The hundreds of cavalrymen on the left wing fired at each other, but failed to stop them.
The pace of the remaining soldiers led by Liu Yan easily opened some distance to the outside.
They would soon have three hundred elite cavalry to come to their aid. They were not in a hurry to gallop over. They were mainly concerned about the power of the horses and were worried that if they did not really stop for a rest for seven or eight hours, the horses would not be well fed. However, there were already a dozen cavalry as scouts.
Running out of the woods.
And on the larger battlefield, they have absolute control. They have more than a hundred warriors on the hillock and are surrounded by three groups of remnants of the Western Army. What should they worry about?
It only took a cup of tea, and when three hundred reinforcements came to join them, they divided into several groups and attacked the rear of the three groups of remaining Western soldiers in turn. They were worried that they would not be able to defeat these ungrateful Western Army remnants and create a new opportunity for their colleagues.
Rescue?
In their view, the hundreds of dismounted combat troops surrounded on the hillock were bait that the remaining soldiers of the Western Army could not get rid of.
But it was at Xu Xin'an that Yin Peng led more than a hundred men and horses, carrying spears and large shields on their backs, and rushed out from behind the woods and ravines that were closer to each other in the north. The bewildered smiles on their faces froze in shock at this moment.
:Is this a bait for them?
Of course, these people were a little shocked, but there was no fear in their hearts.
Even if they saw that the remnants of the Yan army were well-armed and had high morale, they had set a trap here in advance to lure them in, but even if they did not consider the troops and horses that would be reinforced from the outside at any time, just on this small battlefield, they would
Counting their strength on their fingers, they also have 500 elite soldiers. Is it possible that Chihu Jian'er did not dare to fight a tough battle when faced with the same number of remnants of the Yan army?
A red-blooded man is proud to die in battle and return to the arms of the Immortal Heaven. At this time, will he be afraid of dozens of casualties?
If this is the case, how can a red warrior man travel across thousands of miles of desert and be unrivaled?
Yu Zuo, who led more than a hundred cavalrymen, was a general of the Red Army. He knew that cavalry bows were a limited threat to the armored infantry, so he immediately ordered everyone to put away their bows and arrows. They all took off their shields from their saddles and pulled them from their waists.
He quickly drew his saber, and when the three hundred cavalry on the periphery were still two or three miles away from arriving, they quickly adjusted their formation and charged straight towards the remnants of Xu Huai's group.
"Niu Yashan, carry the big shield to block the enemy's horses!" Xu Huai shouted to Niu Er.
He saw that the Japanese soldiers were also very brave. He knew that their remnant soldiers seemed to have the strongest combat power, but he just rushed towards them, intending to defeat them directly so that they could join the surrounded soldiers and horses together, like the autumn wind.
Sweeping away other remaining soldiers like fallen leaves.
If the remaining 300 troops were integrated, Xu Huai would definitely order his troops to hold their positions with shields and spears to resist the enemy's cavalry charge, and then organize a counterattack after the momentum of their high-speed attack was relieved.
However, it is a pity not to mention the hundreds of remnants behind him. The remnants led by Liu Yan and Chen Yuan may not be able to directly resist such a bloody charge at this time. They can only be interspersed by eleven of them.
Go to the southeast side and directly block the charge of this group of cavalry.
The men and horses led by Xu Xin'an and Yin Peng were closer to the battlefield, but they were on foot, so they entered the battlefield about half a cup of tea later than the opponent's 300 reinforcements.
The most important thing is the time spent on making half a cup of tea.
In just half a cup of tea, the opponent's nearly four hundred warriors could probably all take turns to kill them once.
If they can't resist, Xu Xin'an, Yin Peng and others will lead their troops to shrink and form formations on the spot, but the three hundred remaining soldiers will definitely be washed to pieces and become nothing but meat and vegetables for the captives to slaughter wantonly.
From this point of view, the Red Husband Cavalry not only has a wealth of combat experience and skills at the grassroots level, but also has an astonishingly high tactical literacy at the level of generals.
This is completely tempered by years of bloody battles.
It's a pity that this group of soldiers encountered them.
At this time, Xu Huai did not dare to hide his clumsiness. He entered the southeast wing from among the remaining soldiers. He directly took off the saber that was carried on his back. With the help of a certain slope, he raised the saber high. The moment the leader of the cavalry rushed forward,
He roared, shaking all the bones in his body, twisting his right foot back, and stepping forward like a cluster of arrows with his left foot, arousing all the strength in his body. The blade of the sword was like a giant object and slashed forward. The blade struck from the left shoulder of the prisoner.
, after the thoracotomy and abdominal dissection, the sword force did not stagnate at all, slashing from the left shoulder of the war horse to the neck and exiting.
"What a mountain-cutting force! This saber is only so powerful in your father's hands!" Wang Ju replaced the iron spear that weighed more than sixty kilograms, used the spear instead of the knife, and smashed the head of the current war horse into pieces.
