In the era of cold weapons, formations were the key to bringing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers into battle. With the flag of the commander waving, the soldiers lined up according to the formations they practiced on weekdays to form such a huge formation. It all relied on the orders and prohibitions of each department to advance and retreat in a controlled manner.
Only in order can they be condensed into a whole and exert a powerful force.
To maintain such a formation, the most taboo thing is to act without authorization. The more powerful the army, the stricter the military law - without orders, no one dares to take a step beyond the limit!
Therefore, all the troops of the King of Han could only watch the thousand cavalry rush into the joint of the formation, but no one dared to mess up the formation!
"Damn it, what are the scouts doing? Why didn't they find them?!" Under the banner of the Chinese army, seeing the more than a thousand cavalrymen as if they were in no one's land, Song Hu asked with a livid face and roared.
Xu Cheng on the side said depressedly: "The number of them is too small, they may have been missed..."
"All armies, please don't act rashly!" Song Hu also knew that this was not the time to hold people accountable, and he couldn't throw himself into disarray just because of the sudden appearance of a small group of enemy soldiers. Because in order to lure the enemy soldiers in the city, he deliberately placed
We have a formation with a wide open door. If we mess up the formation, there is a high probability that it will be self-defeating!
The regret in Song Hu's heart at this moment was overwhelming. He had been careless. If he had been more cautious, he would not have set up such a complicated four-door pocket formation. If he changed it to any other formation, as long as he shrank a little, the thousand cavalry would have been destroyed.
It will be submerged in an army of 100,000, and it will not even be able to raise a splash.
Fortunately, there were only a thousand cavalry, so they didn't panic. Song Hu said with a dark face: "Destroy them quickly!"
"It's over!" Xu Cheng said solemnly.
The so-called formation cavalry are rangers who are free from military formations. They are mobile and powerful and are designed to deal with such emergencies!
The rangers had already discovered the situation and pounced on Erhei and the others without any instructions. However, their previous focus was on frontal defense, so most of them moved forward to press the formation on both sides. Now they had to bypass it.
Go to the front line, and then turn to the left side of the central army to meet Erhei and the others!
Therefore, such a spectacle temporarily appeared on the battlefield - a thousand cavalry galloping freely in the formation of 100,000 people, but the 100,000 people could only watch - before those rangers came over, there was no
People are blocking them!
Hu Sandao was also excited now. Grandma, having such a cool moment is enough to brag in this life!
Er Hei's face became solemn, because their purpose was to mobilize the enemy's formation and make them disorderly, so as to give Xue Huan and the others a chance to break out. However, the enemy's formation did not move at all, and they were obviously not fooled - don't look at them
I was running happily at this moment, but on the way to escape from the enemy's formation, I was surrounded by the rangers of the Han army. Those angry guys were beating their horses desperately and were rushing towards them, and they would soon hit them head-on!
Thinking of this, Erhei felt a bitterness in his mouth. He looked around and saw that he couldn't see anywhere. They were all the troops of the King of Han. He wailed in his heart: "Grandma, it doesn't matter if I die. My wife will probably not be a widow for me."
When the time comes, I’ll go find Zhu Meigui’s pretty face. I’m going to get angry just thinking about it.’ Thinking of this, he looked at the masked man in front of him bitterly and secretly spat: ‘What the hell did you come up with?
If you don’t want to live anymore, drag me with you to be buried with you!'
The masked man who was being cursed by Er Hei suddenly raised his hand and made a charging gesture towards the cavalry following him. Then, under the dumbfounded gazes of Er Hei and Hu Sandao, he took the lead and slammed into Hanwang.
In the army's formation!
Doctor Wu and the old eunuch didn't hesitate at all, and rushed forward. The three of them, with undue courage, rushed through the opening, and the cavalry behind them rushed in.
"Didn't you say that we only harass but don't attack by force?" Hu Sandao screamed when he saw that he was going to take the enemy's commander's flag directly.
"My **** ancestors!" Erhei also yelled, but the two cursed without hesitation. They waved their weapons and rushed forward to meet the spears and shields of the Han army.
These thousand elite cavalry were all highly skilled in martial arts and completely suppressed the enemy in terms of momentum. The proud soldiers of the King of Han's army who were killed by a thousand cavalry were unable to stand. The layers of defense were covered like window paper.
This thundering arrow pierced through!
After Erhei and the others entered the hinterland of the Chinese army, the rangers rushed outside the Chinese army's formation, but it was too late - looking at the Chinese army in a mess, they knew that pursuing them at this time was just adding to the chaos, so they had no choice but to resent it.
rein in the horse….
On the top of the city, the prince, Mo Wen and others saw their blood boiling. Xu Huaiqing yelled: "They want to kill the general and seize the flag!"
"Your Highness, give the order quickly!" Cheng Zheng shouted: "Let's rush out of the city for reinforcements!"
The prince was also moved. He nodded and looked at Mo Wen. His lips moved and he changed his words to: "What does General Mo want?"
Mo Wen's eyes were beating with fire, but his face was still as cold as ice. Even when the prince asked, his tone did not change at all: "Wait."
"Wait..." The prince waited for a long time. When he heard this word, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and pointed at the city: "We can afford to wait, but they can't wait!"
"The opportunity has not come yet." Mo Wen stared at the battlefield without looking at the prince.
"I order you to go out of the city to fight!" The prince was probably anxious, but the younger half was also angry at Mo Wen's attitude and actually issued the order directly.
There was a moment of solemnity on the top of the city. Everyone looked at Mo Wen. Xu Huaiqing and Cheng Zheng stopped shouting...
But Mo Wen sighed and said to the prince: "Your Highness, please relieve me of my command first, and then I will be the first to rush out of the city."
"Why should I relieve you of your command?" the prince asked.
"Then please don't interfere with the general's command!" Unexpectedly, Mo Wen turned his head and never looked at the prince again.
On the top of the city, the generals were dumbfounded, and the prince was dumbfounded. No one dared to mention the matter of sending troops out of the city...
At this time, the central army of the King of Han's army was completely in chaos. Under the overwhelming impact of the thousand cavalry, the officers and soldiers could not organize an effective defense line at all. In the blink of an eye, they were rushed to less than a hundred feet away from the commander's flag.
The place!
Under the commander's flag, the veins on Song Hu's forehead were pulsing, and his face was darker than the bottom of the pot. How could he not have a dark face? He could even clearly see the appearance of the enemy who was fighting in front of him!
Xu Cheng and others were frightened and couldn't help but persuade: "Commander, please take shelter for now!"
"I won't leave!" Song Hu said flatly: "I don't believe it. The Chinese army's 20,000 soldiers can't stop a mere thousand cavalry!" As he spoke, he drew out his sword and roared: "Hold it!
, Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!"
Song Hu shouted, and the supervisor team wearing red clothes and red cloth headbands went up. After killing dozens of retreating officers and soldiers, they finally stabilized their position - in fact, without the supervisor team, Erhei and the others were almost unable to attack.
Okay...the closer you get to Shuai Banner, the denser the enemy troops become, and the more time you have to form a formation to meet the enemy.
Finally, the Han army relied on the wall of human flesh to slow down Erhei and the others' attacking horse hooves. The thousand cavalrymen who had been unstoppable just now were suddenly surrounded...
"Kill! Kill them all!" The officers of the Han army roared with red eyes and ordered! The Chinese army was turned into such a mess by a mere thousand cavalry. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, they would become a laughing stock. Naturally
I hate these lunatics who are seeking their own death!
However, it is true that a thousand cavalrymen are madmen, but they are not necessarily seeking death. Suddenly, the masked man makes a sharp whistle!
Hearing the whistle, the cavalrymen suddenly unhooked clay pots the size of melons from their horses and threw them around without paying any attention to them.
The officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty did not know what was inside, and some people used their weapons to smash the clay pots in mid-air. When the clay pots shattered, red smoke filled the air! As hundreds of thousands of clay pots shattered,
The battlefield in front of me was completely shrouded in red smoke!
Song Hu and others stared at the red smoke, and soon heard a dense coughing sound. It was the soldiers shrouded in smoke. They closed their eyes, covered their faces, and coughed lifelessly. This time
When I started coughing, I couldn't hold the weapon in my hand anymore, but I still had to worry about the enemy...
"What kind of magic is this?" Xu Cheng and others were shocked. At this time, the wind brought some red smoke, which made them cough, and their noses and tears came down.
"It's poisonous smoke!" Song Hu quickly covered his mouth with a handkerchief and ordered in a low voice: "Hurry up and cover your mouth and nose!"
The officers quickly took out their handkerchiefs, and those who didn't have them covered them with their sleeves, which made them feel better.
"It doesn't matter, the wind will blow away the smoke soon!" Song Hu's eyes were blood red, and he didn't know whether he was angry or caused by the poisonous smoke. He roared: "Besides, the smoke does not distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, so they will feel the same.
!”
Those thousand cavalrymen seemed to have come specifically to slap him in the face! Before Song Hu finished speaking, he saw hundreds of cavalrymen wearing ferocious masks rushing out of the red smoke... Even the war horses were wearing similar leather ones.
mask!
Song Hu's statement obviously insulted the intelligence of the researchers from the Sixth Bureau...
As soon as the cavalry rushed out of the red mist, Song Hu felt his hands and feet were cold. Although there were dense layers of guards in front of him, due to the direction of the wind, the red smoke was in the same direction as the charging direction of the cavalry.
Like those cavalry pioneers!
Seeing the guards in front of me coughing repeatedly, covering their mouths and rubbing their eyes, they couldn't concentrate on facing the enemy - and those cavalrymen who came in the red mist wore ferocious masks and waved their sabers fiercely, like a group of reapers.
The god of death!
The guards were frightened for a moment and retreated step by step... The supervising team was just coughing, so how could they care about supervising the battle? Many of them were knocked down and trampled to death by the retreating soldiers...
When Xu Cheng and others saw this, they were so frightened that their legs became weak and they screamed: "Commander, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Song Hu's eyes were blood red, staring at the enemy cavalry who rushed within twenty feet - he finally understood Sun Quan's helplessness back then. Fighting is actually about building momentum. When the momentum is completely overwhelmed by the enemy, any advantage will be in vain...
