Chapter 1,588: Kill one thousand enemies, damage yourself by eight hundred
But, how can we react so easily if we take a preemptive strike?
The terrain of this valley alone has caused a considerable delay in the transmission of information from the Gaoding Army.
In fact, by the time he received the news from his lieutenant, his former army had already encountered Meng Huo.
The impact of this army led by Meng Huo was quite terrifying.
After Dos has gradually reduced the number of times he has been on the battlefield, this can be regarded as the most powerful army in the south-central region.
Without Gao Ding's command, Gao Ding's former army could be said to be vulnerable to the impact of this army.
"Little ones, leave them alive and tear them into pieces!"
Meng Huo's war cry in the center of the field was like a thunderbolt from the blue, hitting the hearts of the soldiers of the Gaoding Army without any hindrance, causing them to be caught off guard and even feel fear and terror for a moment.
At the same time, following Meng Huo who was riding a fierce tiger, the light cavalry of Meng Huo's army suddenly burst out from the gap in the formation of rattan armor soldiers in front. This group of cavalry was equipped with stirrups and horseshoes made by Yi Xiaotian.
That one, therefore, is almost unmatched in terms of speed.
Judging from the scene, they were like a gust of wind that quickly passed through the buffer zone where the two armies were fighting, and rushed directly into the enemy formation in the valley like wolves rushing into a flock of sheep.
Holding scimitars, they fought left and right, taking away several lives with each swing of the sword. They came and went freely in the formation of the Gaoding Army without being hindered, just because the formation of the Gaoding Army was simply not enough to withstand the charge of the cavalry - even if
Just light cavalry.
In addition, the infantry led by Meng Huo from the front actually put greater pressure on the enemy.
In fact, many people don't know that the strength of the barbarians' real elite army is actually quite terrifying.
Long-term regional specialization and continuous fighting have enabled the most elite barbarian tribes to develop powerful infantry armies unique to them.
Take the Meng family for example.
Meng Huo's ability to sweep across the Yue Mountains relied on the mountain infantry under his command.
The so-called mountain infantry is a type of infantry that can carry out special operations in special mountainous terrain.
Most of them were strong and strong, and moved extremely quickly. They held scimitars and heavy swords, round shields, and tough armor made of rhinoceros skin. They walked swiftly in the mountainous terrain.
This time Meng Huo went to battle, and the infantry he led were all strong death squads selected from this kind of army.
However, even though they are called mountain infantry, in fact, it is precisely because of their strong quality on flat ground that they can become mountain infantry.
Therefore, their strength is quite terrifying when fighting on flat ground.
Just for now.
Meng Huo led the heavy infantry to advance steadily and rapidly forward, gradually reducing the space for the enemy to leave the valley. In the short-distance handover of combat power, the physical advantages of this group of mountain heavy infantry were fully utilized, causing minor injuries and minor pain.
It is not enough to hurt their desire to fight, and the important parts of the body are also tightly protected by armor specially designed to deal with stabbing attacks.
Together with the Vine Armor Soldiers, one is flexible and the other is steady, and the advanced soldiers are complaining endlessly.
There may even be a scene like this - on a battle line less than ten feet away, three or five barbarian soldiers can suppress the thirty or fifty Han soldiers in front of them and retreat steadily.
And it’s not over yet…
However, close range attacks are not foolproof.
At this time, another spear-throwing light infantry army led by Meng Huo played a decisive role.
Different from the crossbowmen who are always available in the Han army, spear throwers are a medium-distance combat unit in the barbarian army. Each person is always equipped with more than ten spears. The spears they throw out with all their strength only need to hit the target.
It can cause quite terrifying penetrating wounds to the enemy - this is an attack that ordinary armor cannot protect against.
Moreover, they also have a considerable advantage over the Han army's crossbowmen, that is, their close combat capabilities are also quite impressive.
Spears can be used for throwing or stabbing, so even if an enemy approaches them, they can quickly counterattack and cooperate with the surrounding heavy infantry and vine armor soldiers to encircle the opponent.
When the whole system works together, it can be said to be seamless.
At least in the face of Yong Kai's current army, Meng Huo's army was simply a dimensionality-reducing blow to them.
In less than a moment, a large number of dead and wounded were piled up near the narrow exit of the valley.
At this time, Gaoding had just sent his adjutant to the front line to take command.
As soon as the lieutenant arrived, he saw the devastated scene and the scenes of his family's retreat, and almost fainted.
Fortunately, he quickly regained his composure and shouted the high order:
"You are not allowed to retreat! You are not allowed to retreat even if you say so! From here on, we must suppress the opponent's attack! We must push out of the valley, otherwise everyone will be stuck here!"
"Archer! Where is the archer! Shoot the arrows for me! Don't worry about the casualties, just shoot the arrows!"
The lieutenant general was obviously trying his best. To release arrows in such a place would be to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to oneself. Moreover, he had no idea that the vine armored soldiers and heavy infantry they were facing in front were not afraid of arrows at all.
Upon hearing this order, many people around him hesitated.
The eyes they looked at the lieutenant became complicated - or maybe they were disappointed?
A wave of low pressure swept across the entire valley, especially the group of people surrounding the deputy general.
Feeling the gaze of everyone, the lieutenant general panicked.
He drew his sword, pointed it at everyone, and rebuked loudly:
"What are you still doing? Do you want to disobey military orders?
Anyone who dares to disobey military orders will be killed without mercy!"
His voice was trembling when he said this, but the silence and disobedience of the people around him was also true.
He was angry, but also scared - if the army mutinied at this time, that would be the most serious consequence.
The silence continued like this.
I don’t know who gave in first, and there was no mutiny, but the morale of Gaoding’s army was seriously damaged.
When the archers fired their arrows, many people cried.
Many of the people in the former army were their relatives and friends, their dead brothers...but now they had to release arrows knowing that they might accidentally hurt them.
One arrow...two arrows...
Thousands of arrows flew out of the valley. At the same time, Meng Huo outside the valley immediately noticed these.
He snorted coldly and quickly made arrangements:
"Everyone gather together and use shields to form a bunker. We can escape this wave of arrows and retreat!"
Meng Huo roared loudly, and everyone took action quickly.
The heavy infantry who were still fighting on the front line immediately retreated. They raised their shields one after another, and in twos and twos they pieced together a very tight shield top.
The light cavalry who were charging into the enemy formation quickly ran out of the valley after receiving the order, and dispersed to find bunkers.
A rain of arrows came immediately, and screams continued one after another.
But the fact is that most of these screams came from the soldiers of Haute Couture.
"Huh... I'm waiting for your arrows."
Meng Huo snorted, Yi Xiaotian had guessed everything.
