Three soldiers grabbed a long gun and pulled it down hard. The neck and face of the Shaodian Army on the other end of the gun were red. The tail of the gun was tucked under his arm. He held the gun tightly with both hands and squatted down with trembling thighs.
But the feet still moved forward little by little.
Seeing that his men were in danger, Geng Zhizhong rushed forward two or three steps, kicked up a broken spear on the ground, and "poof" hit one of his own soldiers in the abdomen; he then made a dive, twisted his forks, and impaled the other two soldiers.
neck.
"Die!" The tip of a spear filled with fighting spirit stabbed diagonally. Geng Zhizhong was unable to dodge and was shot in the abdomen.
"Hey!" Geng Zhizhong took several steps back. Fortunately, the subordinate he rescued fired his gun and forced the attacker back.
"Captain Geng, be careful!" A palm pressed against Geng Zhizhong's back.
Before he could turn around, the captain of the second squadron, Sa Chi, passed him and held up the square card in front of the enemy. While his own army was being pushed back, he lowered his head and saw that there was a dent in the fine armor on his abdomen. Fortunately, the workmanship was very fine. The fine armor was
Not pierced.
"Bah, hiss, whoosh!" After a burst of severe pain, he finally took a breath.
The North 32nd Division immediately launched an attack after arriving at the battlefield, approaching the Shaodian Army's position from the gentle slope to the north and the ridge to the east; the cavalry troops were still cruising around the periphery, looking for opportunities to charge.
The commander of our own army did not launch a full-scale attack. First, he had to attack the enemy's position in stages to accumulate strength. Second, he kept a reserve force to prevent the enemy from breaking out. This reflected the ambivalence of being worried about the combat effectiveness of the Shaodian Army and wanting to completely annihilate this unit.
.
Fei Ze did not order the first brigade on the periphery to block the enemy. Instead, he ordered the two corners of the character "pin" to be pointed in the direction of his own attack, and the archers inserted themselves between the two corners to attack the enemy.
The Shaodian Army on the slope was condescending and waiting for work. The Second and Sixth Battalions at the front of the defense line had repelled multiple rounds of enemy attacks. This was the third time that Geng Zhizhong was injured by his own army. Fortunately, he was thick-skinned and well-equipped.
The superiors and subordinates worked hard to keep the line of defense stable.
Dong Dong, two wooden stakes hit Sa Qi's shield one after another. Sa Qi's two feet had already sunk into the soil, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his closed mouth. The huge impact still did not knock him away.
Geng Zhizhong's eyes cracked with anger, and he tried to step forward to help Saji with both arms. Suddenly, he heard the sharp sound of breaking wind in his ears, and several arrows lined up in a straight line and passed over his head. Then he heard the enemy's attack.
of screams.
The four soldiers holding the wooden stakes were shot to the ground. Sa abandoned his shoulders and freed his hands to wipe the blood from the corners of his mouth.
"Well done!" Geng Zhizhong turned around and gave a thumbs up to Wan Yu who was squatting at a high point.
After the ground battle started, Wanyu was active at a high point near the top of the slope, helping frontline officers and soldiers deal with the enemy. Unlike close combat soldiers, he could attack the enemy without being far away from the general's flag, effectively supporting his comrades on the defense line.
"The enemy's cavalry has moved!" Zhang Dingyuan's voice was hoarse.
Before the war started, he traveled to all the divisions and tried his best to mobilize the morale of the division. Not only was his voice hoarse, but now he could no longer raise his arms waving the battle flag.
"Instruct the first brigade to block the first wave of enemy cavalry charge." Fei Ze handed Ding Fen an order flag.
Conventional battlefields have a commander's platform or a general's platform, and troops that are far away usually use flag bearers to play flags, and buglers to cooperate with the notification. However, the top of the slope occupied by the 75th Division is quite large, and the general's platform cannot see the entire battlefield, so Fei Ze simply stood on the slope.
The top moves back and forth and only arranges flag bearers at a few fixed points.
Ding Fen quickly ran to the flag bearer's point on the steep slope, conveyed the order to the flag bearer, and then shot a loud arrow in the direction of Fan Yuzhen.
The first brigade was on the outermost perimeter, and it took enough time for the enemy cavalry to rush up from the top of the slope.
"Here we come! Everyone, go to the steep slope defense line and get ready!" Fan Yuzhen knew her responsibility and had been paying attention to the enemy cavalry and the orders at the top of the slope.
The commander of our own army found that the infantry could not attack for a long time, so he finally ordered the cavalry to go into battle, which was carried out in accordance with the planned tactics.
This kind of offensive and defensive battle is most suitable for the patchwork of cavalry units. They can charge one brigade at a time, eliminating the need for cross-division and cross-brigade coordination, and produce the strongest combat effectiveness.
"The archers move to the flank of the steep slope!"
"..."
The messengers were sent all the way from the top of the slope to the archer position. The officer in charge immediately led the team to move, and the archers had the opportunity to disrupt the cavalry's charging formation.
"Attention Ninth Battalion, follow the First Battalion to capture the dogfighting fighter."
Orders from the top of the slope began to come frequently.
"The cavalry brigade is ready for countercharge, and the three cornets will be dispatched immediately."
….
The first group of cavalry rushed towards the steep slope. This is the widest area except the gentle slope in front. Although the horses will be lowered, it is suitable for the cavalry to deploy.
"Watch out for horse traps!" "Watch out for piles of rocks!" "Watch out for anti-war horse spears!"
The officers in the charging team were shouting one after another. Lowering the horses had both disadvantages and advantages. The cavalry units had time to avoid traps, and only a few cavalry were caught and fell from their horses.
"Crossbowman attacks!" Fan Yuzhen shouted while taking aim with the crossbow.
There are still ten crossbows in her brigade, which come in handy at this time. The crossbows can kill key figures before the cavalry's cavalry formation attacks, disrupt the cavalry formation, and are much safer than archers.
Fei Ze initially arranged the first brigade on the periphery, but after the war started, he moved it away from the front, in order to let them deal with the cavalry and ensure that his own formation would not be disrupted.
The cavalrymen of our country kept having people dismounted after being hit by arrows, and rushed into the range of the archers. "Each squadron is free to attack!" Seeing that the team had no time to take a position, the officer simply ordered the archers to disperse and shoot.
"Liang Xuan!" Fan Yuzhen shouted.
"exist!"
"Watch the zipper!"
"Don't worry, everyone is watching!"
Fan Yuzhen rushed behind a guarding horse, bent her waist, and shot two more arrows.
"Tripping the rope!" she shouted suddenly, looking at the distance.
"Pull!" Liang Xuan ordered to his subordinates, and he also pulled a hemp rope hard.
At this time, our country's cavalry rushed within 100 meters of the defense line.
Bang, bang, bang, more than a dozen short stakes were pulled up from the ground, and ropes more than ten meters long were connected between the two, and the height was just under the horse's neck.
It would have been difficult for the horses to run uphill, but a rope so high suddenly appeared under their feet. How could they avoid it? On the spot, more than a dozen horsemen fell to the ground.
"Well done! Short spear, ready to throw the spear!" Fan Yuzhen stood up straight, picked up the golden bamboo crossbow, took the long ax from Jiao Mingguang, and prepared for a hand-to-hand fight.
Most of the momentum of our own army's charge was suppressed, with only four or five small teams breaking out in front. The troops behind were hindered by their companions' failure to keep up.
Swish, swish, the arrows are getting denser and denser. The archers gradually arrange themselves into formation under the command of the officer, and the arrows are fired at their own troops more efficiently.
"Projection!"
Fan Yuzhen gave an order and fired a hundred short spears at the last charging cavalry squad.
"Follow me!" Jiao Mingguang took the lead and rushed out of the defense line without waiting for Fan Yuzhen's order. Everyone in the first squadron climbed over their horses and rushed out following the squadron leader.
"The crossbowmen kill the knights, and the others hold the line of defense." Fan Yuzhen also rushed out after updating the order.
The Ninth Brigade crossed the defensive line and prepared to rush out to entangle the cavalry troops coming up from behind.
The last instruction Fan Yuzhen received was to "block the first wave of enemy cavalry charge." Shooting the short spear was equivalent to completing the task, and she could retreat to the rear to rest. However, she would not leave the front line of the battle without receiving clear military orders. Such a brave fighting style
It was only by chance that Yu Zhong was saved.
The first group of cavalry and Shaodian's army got into a melee, and the momentum of the charge was stopped, and there were signs of retreat; the second group of cavalry came one after another, and there was no room for them to run in the chaotic battlefield, and the charge turned into a fight.
The Ninth Brigade originally defeated the first wave of cavalry with the help of Fan Yuzhen, but the newly entered cavalry put a lot of pressure on them, and the attack turned into a stalemate.
After the melee, the cavalry could not charge and the archers could not shoot. On this battlefield, the Shaodian army had a favorable position, but our own army had a larger number. The third brigade was about to attack again.
Woo, a trombone sound.
Fan Yuzhen cut down an enemy soldier and looked back, "Retreat! Go back behind the defense line to stop the enemy."
Together with the Ninth Brigade, they slowly retreated.
Just as the dividing line between the enemy and ourselves was drawn, the archers in the rear opened fire again, mixed with crossbow arrows.
The originally open area was disrupted, and there was no time to clean up the corpses of the war horses and soldiers. The fiercely fighting battle groups could not be separated at all. The third wave of cavalry was suppressed by bows and arrows and could not find a suitable charging route, so they could only slow down and follow the friendly forces.
"Three thousand, and there are seven thousand more. The same attack can be repeated twice at most." Fei Ze was observing the battlefield on the steep slope. "Order the steep slope defense line to move away from the front, and the cavalry brigade will countercharge for me!"
Zhang Dingyuan looked at the flagman's signal and asked: "What about the battle behind it?"
"They can repel the enemy without any damage. The enemy will not dare to charge like this again." Fei Ze turned around and walked towards the gentle slope, "You are in charge here."
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Fan Yuzhen waved her ax to block the corners to prevent the enemy from widening the front.
"Raise the arrow three fingers and shoot at the enemy behind!" the archer commander ordered.
The Shaodian troops who were fighting on the front line ran desperately to both sides, allowing their own troops to break into the front. The first group split into two groups, blocking their own troops and unable to disperse in pursuit.
Hiccup, burp, burp, a cavalryman rushed out from the rear of Shaodian's army, running on the steep slope, leaning on the horse in high spirits, fighting spirit flashing in his eyes, and the tip of the spear flashing with cold light.
Charging down the slope was completely different from the charge of our own army. Our own army recognized the danger and hurriedly ran to both sides, but at this time the infantry of Shaodian Army took the opportunity to cover up and attack from both sides.
Dang-dang-dang, the cavalry formation down the slope sounded the gong.
The best way to escape is to turn around and run down, and then change direction, rather than running sideways to both sides. The cavalry commander can see clearly. Sending another brigade to respond will lead to death. Sending two brigade may not win. Sending three brigade
It is better for a large group to let the troops in front escape back.
"Do you still need my command?" Zhang Dingyuan was amused, but he didn't complain at all about Fei Ze leaving the game to him.
The intensity of the battle in the sky began to decrease, and the lower-level magicians had to control their magic power. They could not sustain the violent outpouring of magic for ten minutes like they did at the beginning.
"Lang Chun, it's time to rebel! If you eat our troops below, I will make you a national advisor!" Ding Kui became active again.
