The first thousand two hundred and sixty-eight chapters victory
The enemy troops on the opposite side were also hesitating, and the spears of the Tiger Camp soldiers were also in front of them.
In particular, the formation of the Tiger Camp Phalanx is very straight, and the right hand is hidden behind the back, making it impossible for the enemy to judge their assassination distance, making the enemy feel that if they take another step, they will be attacked by three spears.
Moreover, the enemy holds the gun with a downward grip, which is not only difficult, but also requires leaving a length of the gun tail at the back, which reduces the attack range. As time goes by and physical strength continues to be consumed, the enemy will have to extend the length of the gun tail to maintain
The gun body is balanced, so the longer the time is delayed, the more worried and anxious the enemy will be.
As they slowly approached, the only sounds left on the front were the heavy breathing of both sides and the gentle banging of beetle leaves. Occasionally, officers shouted, but no one listened.
In the silence, the Tiger Battalion soldiers faced the opposite gun head and moved forward with the smallest steps. Before life and death, all the soldiers' hearts almost jumped out of their chests, and their whole bodies were in a highly tense state. The confrontation was short.
Time seems to be as long as ten thousand years for everyone.
At a certain moment, a crouching Tiger Battalion soldier in the third row behind quickly crossed the short distance, avoided the enemy soldier's spear in the back row, and slammed a dagger into the thigh of an enemy soldier.
"Ah!" The enemy infantry, who was tensing up, let out an earth-shattering scream. This scream finally disconnected the nerves of both sides who were extremely nervous. The soldiers yelled wildly and started a chaotic stabbing almost at the same time. Both sides were densely packed.
The barrel of the gun moved back and forth between the lines. When the gun body moved, the sound of collision was as dense as raindrops.
In the midst of the chaos, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion took a step forward as a reflex to occupy the attacking position. Just like they had practiced countless times, they stepped forward with their left legs, leaned forward slightly, and reached forward with their right and left hands at the same time. Their spears were like lightning.
He stabbed out quickly, and when he was still one foot away from the opponent's spear blade, he felt a sluggish feeling in his hand. The spear accurately penetrated the enemy soldier's neck, and the entire action was completed in an instant.
The nasty long spears of most of the enemies in the first row in front of them clattered to the ground. A large wave of enemy soldiers covered their necks and fell to the ground with their long spears two or three inches away from the Tiger Camp soldiers.
The soldiers in the third row behind both sides were ducking under the spears, and above their heads were clusters of sharp spear blades moving back and forth. They looked at them.
When there is an opening, he rushes over and stabs him, and then quickly retreats before the rear row counterattacks. The injured spearman is often distracted and killed by the spearman from the opposite side.
At this time, the battle line had become a mess. More and more soldiers rushed to the middle area and struggled in front of their respective formations. The pain caused by the cold weapons was very intense. The hoarse screams of the wounded soldiers resounded throughout the battle line. A broad and dense battlefield
The contact quickly brought huge casualties.
The first row of Yang Su's side was all dead, and the second and third rows had already advanced. Soon the first row of the Tiger Camp also lost most of its members, and the spearmen in the back row continued to fill in. The neat rear row
The rows quickly turn into a zigzag shape.
…………

Tiger Camp soldiers almost always fight in a state of numbness, relying entirely on their body's instinctive reactions developed through countless trainings to repeatedly assassinate.
After the first batch of casualties occurred, the two sides fought more and more crazily. There was no longer any cautious probing, and the spears like a forest were spitting out clumps, quickly reaping lives. Someone fell at every breath, and often two people were stabbed at the same time.
On the other side, corpses almost covered the battle line, but the two armies still did not retreat, demonstrating the strongest combat power of this era.
It has to be said that in the face of the terrifying infantry phalanx of the Far Eastern Army, Li Mi replaced the cavalry with infantry. Although he was still at a disadvantage and his own casualties were obviously much faster than the opponent's, it was much better than the cavalry just now, so this decision was actually
Very wise.
However, as the deaths intensified and the death toll increased rapidly, the morale of Yang Su's infantry gradually began to waver, and those who were beaten began to retreat. However, the spear battle formation of Tiger Camp continued to advance, and more and more of the enemy's infantry
The people fled back.
Wang Junlin gave an order, and Luo Shixin, who had been prepared for a long time, led his cavalry to charge diagonally and began to chase the deserters. The dismounted soldiers of the Tiger Battalion armed with iron guns and fast crossbows also began to speed up the attack, running in pursuit.
When encountering a small group of resisting enemy troops, they formed a platoon and fired with fast crossbows, and then began to assassinate at close range, defeating the stubborn enemy troops one after another.
Li Mi looked ugly and had already sent out his remaining 20,000 cavalry to assist the infantry in retreating or escaping.
The outcome of the decisive battle of the infantry square
A melee soon led to the participation of all the troops on both sides. However, under the strict orders of Wang Junlin, the infantry phalanx led by Yuchi Jingde firmly maintained an orderly formation. Wherever it passed, enemy cavalry could easily be stabbed to death.
Soon, about 20,000 cavalrymen sent by Li Mi to support them also joined the defeated ranks and ran deeper into the road behind them. There were also some who rushed in from the mountains and forests on both sides in a panic, trying to escape through the forest.
As for the 50,000 to 60,000 rogue bandits nearby, Li Mi had already issued an order to attack them from all directions. However, these days, Wang Junlin and his men were trying to kill them, and he had just personally witnessed Li Mi's side being defeated with more than 60,000 elite troops by the other side's 20,000.
After the scene of many people, these bandits who had been fighting with the wind dared to come up. They didn't listen to Li Mi at all and retreated in advance and escaped.
…………

Li Mi looked at the crumbling army with a pale face. They fled in panic and even scattered the soldiers around him who were still holding on to their posts. They had completely become a lost dog.
Wang Bodang took some of his soldiers and wanted to kill people to supervise the battle. As a result, his soldiers were instantly overwhelmed and had to flee behind them.
Of the 25,000 infantrymen, more than a thousand were killed and injured by the opponent's grenades and fast crossbows before the battle began. The losses were even greater as they approached, especially as there were a thousand cavalry on each side of the slopes of the Tiger Camp phalanx specialized in using fast crossbows.
After intensive shooting, the two wings of Yang Su's infantry phalanx were unable to withstand such losses and had to fight with bows and arrows from a distance. Not only were the two wings unable to form a breakthrough, they also suffered great losses.
The enemy's spearmen in the middle also did not gain an advantage in the confrontation. Instead, they were quickly defeated by the opponent in formation battles. Li Mi knew just by looking at the formation that after losing most of the elite spear-wielding soldiers in front of the middle line, the infantry behind them would be overwhelmed by the enemy who were still densely packed.
The battle formation has gradually lost its fighting spirit.
Li Mi was speechless. Although he knew that this was a life-for-life fight, he even thought about the worst plan of losing two of his men in exchange for the loss of one of the other side, and finally relied on the superiority of troops to defeat the other side. But he never thought about it.
He would be defeated miserably when the number of people was two or three times that of the opponent, and the defeat would be so rapid that even if he decisively invested all his cavalry, it would still be difficult to restore the defeat.
