Two miles away, on a winding mountain road, there was a team of more than a thousand people, quickly approaching them. Directly in front of the team, two large flags were fluttering in the wind. The flag of one of the large flags
On it, there is a Chinese character "zhou" embroidered on it.
"Regulate the army, prepare for war!" Before attacking the grass valley this time, Xue Qiluo had done enough homework on intelligence. He immediately thought of Zhou Hu in Gaotaicheng, raised his voice, and warned loudly, "The Changshengtian is watching.
Our warriors, don’t panic. There are less than 2,000 enemies. All those who can pick up swords and guns should come closer to me and prepare for war. There are only more than 1,000 Sui dogs. Let’s kill them all!”
"Quick, hurry up and form the team! Otherwise, everyone will die here today." After saying that, Xue Qiluo suddenly remembered that the defenders of Gaotai City were direct descendants of Wang Junlin. I heard that they were trained by Wang Junlin himself.
's army.
Having been defeated miserably at the hands of Wang Junlin twice in a daze, Xue Qiluo was already a little afraid of Wang Junlin subconsciously. Seeing that everyone was not nervous enough, he could not help but sweat on his forehead, and he urged him angrily.
"It seems that I arrived in time." While Xue Qiluo was urging his defeated soldiers to quickly assemble the army and prepare for war, Zhou Hu also discovered Xue Yantuo's army on the mountain road through the eyes of his own scouts. He waved the spear in his hand,
The order to attack was issued without hesitation.
"Four horses in a row, keep a distance of one foot between each row. Brothers, follow me, this is a military merit specially left for us by the general!" Shouting loudly, he had already taken the lead in riding out.
"Kill!" Five hundred Gaotaicheng cavalry quickly followed up, holding special extended horizontal knives in their hands.
"Kill the Turkic dog thieves, kill the Turkic dog thieves -" the soldiers of Gaotaicheng, who had worked hard to achieve military exploits, shouted in unison at the top of their lungs. The desire for victory and military glory was written on everyone's face.
Wang Junlin re-trained them, and after intensive training, this was the first time they fought.
"Dong dong, dong dong, dong dong, dong dong -" The threatened Xue Yantuo's army quickly responded with the sound of drums and drums. More than 3,000 soldiers who had just recovered some physical strength, but who had lost their horses while running for their lives last night,
Under the shouts and urging of Xue Qiluo and several leaders, commanders, and centurions, they reluctantly formed a Yanyue formation. At the bottom of the Yanyue, a huge square formation was connected with more than 6,000 limbs.
Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who were weak and had not yet recovered their physical strength, hid in the phalanx.
The howling mountain wind carried the remaining snow particles and rolled quickly between the two armies. The late winter sunlight was reflected by the snow particles in mid-air. In an instant, it showed a colorful seven colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple,
Fluttering, ups and downs.
Zhou Hu, who was riding at the front, was slightly stunned by the sudden appearance of colorful lights in mid-air. Immediately, he raised his spear again and shouted: "Suppress the speed, suppress the speed. You are not allowed to be faster than me, and you are not allowed to go faster than me."
Slower than me."
"Suppress the speed, maintain the formation, and be careful where your mounts go!" The leader of the team, the fire chief, quickly turned Zhou Hu's voice into a military order, and then implemented it to the entire cavalry team.
The mountain road is rugged, and there is lingering snow on the roadside, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry deployment. However, Wang Junlin specially studied tactics in Gaotaicheng to create a dense cavalry formation, and what he pursued was not speed. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of this cavalry was
Although they were restricted by the terrain, they were still in neat rows and their momentum was astonishing.
Boom boom boom, boom boom boom, boom boom boom...
The sound of horses' hooves fell one after another, and the sound was like thunder. There were continuous echoes among the mountains.
The hillside below began to tremble slightly, and the remaining snow on the hillside began to tremble slightly. The dead grass, tree trunks, and rocks between the remaining snow trembled, trembled, and undulated. After a moment, the sky, white clouds, and the seven-color streamer between the two armies also quickly followed.
It started to tremble, and in an instant, the ground shook.
After running all night, Xue Yantuo's soldiers were tired and hungry. Their faces were turned pale by the deafening sound of horse hooves, and they were trembling. The courage they had lost last night had not yet fully recovered, and the fear of the epidemic still threatened them.
At this time, their condition could no longer support a tough battle. Some of them were still infected with the epidemic, but it was not serious and they had not started to have a fever.
"If you have a shield in your hand, step forward five steps to set up a shield wall! If you have a spear in your hand, step forward three steps, squat down, and put the gun body on the shield! Don't be afraid, they don't have many cavalry." Just as everyone was panicking.
At this moment, Xue Qiluo's voice sounded again, calm and calm, which made all Xue Yantuo's soldiers feel more or less calm after listening to it.
"The shield bearer, step forward five steps to set up a shield wall! The one holding the spear, step forward three steps,"
"...Squat down and place the gun on the shield..."
The soldiers around Xue Qiluo repeated his orders loudly.
Hundreds of Xue Yantuo warriors holding shields shuffled forward a few steps and raised their shields one after another, forming an uneven shield wall between the two crescents of the Yanyue Formation. Hundreds more held shields in their hands.
The spearman stumbled behind the shield bearer, crouching down and raising his gun, hoping to scare the enemy's horses with the densely packed spear points. However, every pair of haggard eyes were full of helplessness and panic.
Turkic warriors are good at mounted combat, and infantry combat is actually their shortcoming. However, last night, they were walking on a mountain road. Riding on horseback in the dark night was simply suicide. In order to survive, most of Xue Yantuo's warriors abandoned their horses.
Xue Qiluo himself was not optimistic about the effect of the combination of shield wall and spear forest, so he dispatched another unit to the center of the Yanyue Formation: "The archers came forward to form a team, raised a finger diagonally above, ready to shoot!
"
"Whoosh -" Hundreds of feathered arrows soared into the sky, like a large flock of crows swooping at the cavalry of Gaotai City who were getting closer and closer.
"Puff... Puff..." The sound of arrows shooting into flesh was heard endlessly, and red mist filled the ranks of the cavalry. However, what made Xue Qiluo stunned was that the enemy soldiers did not turn over as expected. Only a few of them did.
The war horses screamed and broke away from the cavalry team and rushed towards the snowy fields on both sides of the hillside. The other Gaotaicheng cavalry actually shortened the distance between each other even closer, with shoulders touching shoulders, arms brushing arms, and special weapons raised above their heads.
Even if the horizontal knife is lengthened, it is still as dense as a forest.
"Load the arrow, load the arrow, aim at the war horse, try your best to aim at the war horse!" A tribal leader judged the problem and shouted a reminder at the top of his voice.
The cavalry of Gaotaicheng all wore armor. Although the quality could not be seen, judging from the results of the first round of arrow shooting on their side, the armor was far more sophisticated than they imagined. The war horses looked like they had been carefully trained.
, as long as the master on his back does not fall off the saddle, even if he is dying, the war horse will carry him and continue to follow the robe beside him.
