"Keep the formation, keep the formation! Use the shield to protect the mount, protect the mount!" Zhou Hu leaned over the horse's neck, raised his elbows, and tried his best to use the shield hanging on his arm to block the stray arrows for the war horse.
.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Hu had led the cavalry and shortened the distance between the enemy and ourselves to only fifty steps. According to past combat experience and usual training and research, as long as everyone continued to charge forward for about thirty steps,
The enemy's arrows pose no threat to the cavalry.
"Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Shoot..." Xue Qiluo yelled at the top of his lungs. The soldiers around him opened their throats and kept repeating. Amid the crazy shouts, the second round of arrows passed by Xue Yantuo
The heads of the pikemen were noisy.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" Nearly five hundred cavalrymen ran in the same rhythm, and the sound of hoofbeats was earth-shattering.
"Swish...swish...swish...swish..." The feathered arrow passed a distance of thirty steps and shot into the cavalry team, bringing up clouds of red mist.
The red mist filled the air, and the six or seven horses running in the first three rows screamed and fell to the ground, throwing the cavalry on their backs far away, causing broken muscles and fractures.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting, shoot the horses, shoot the horses!" Xue Qiluo's voice, accompanied by the loud voices of the soldiers, echoed over the Yanyue Formation, as if full of confidence and arrogance.
"Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh Whoosh..." More feather arrows passed over the heads of Xue Yantuo's shield bearers and spear-wielding soldiers, constantly taking away lives from the Gaotaicheng cavalry team.
The first five rows of Gaotaicheng cavalry were quickly riddled with holes. The sixth, seventh, and eighth rows of cavalry were also damaged by arrows and became as jagged as canine teeth. However, starting from the ninth row,
But they were not moved at all by the arrows flying in the sky. The soldiers lowered their bodies, protected the necks of the horses with the shields on their left arms, gently clamped the horse's belly with their legs, and continued to fight on the corpses and blood of the robes.
move forward.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!" The sound of horse hooves fell one after another, and the thunder continued.
"Swish...swish...swish...swish..." The feathers and arrows are like weaving, playing the music of death.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting, shoot the horses, shoot the horses! Don't stop, don't panic!" Xue Qiluo's voice, mixed with the loud voices of the soldiers, was vaguely anxious.
The distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, but the Gaotaicheng cavalry continued to advance. Their team was like a thick bamboo pole. After a whole section was cut off, the remaining part was still as sharp as ever.
.
"Whoosh...whoosh...whoosh..." The archer adjusted the angle of the arrow shaft, trying to make the arrow threaten the cavalry on the opposite side without accidentally injuring his own shield bearers and spearmen.
The closer the distance between the two warring parties is, the more difficult this action is. And the distance of less than twenty steps is already very close to the war horse. In the rain of arrows, Zhou Hu's spear suddenly deflected and shouted:
: "Follow me and punch through them!"
"Peel through them, cut through them!" The young bodies straightened up from the horse's back. The tip of the specially made long horizontal knife pointed diagonally, and the left leg gently stimulated the horse's belly.
The entire team turned close to the shield wall and gun forest of Xue Yantuo's army, and the giant python turned over. Before Xue Qiluo and Xue Yantuo's soldiers could make any reaction, they rushed towards the unobstructed right wing of Yanyue Formation.
The next moment, the "Crescent Moon" collapsed!
Wherever the horse's hooves pass, corpses litter the fields!
Among Xue Yantuo's soldiers on the right wing of the Yanyue Formation, most of them were exhausted from running for their lives all night, and their muscles and bones were weak from exhaustion. They finally mustered up some courage and morale after seeing their companions being chopped down to the ground row after row.
Once again, there was nothing left. How could there be any fighting spirit? In the blink of an eye, the formation disintegrated, each one lost their swords and ran away.
"Hold on, hold on, there aren't many people on the other side!" Xue Qiluo, his eyes red with anxiety, ordered his soldiers to cut down a deserter and warned loudly.
Although the enemy's cavalry attack is sharp, their number is only 500. If these more than 7,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers can exert 20 to 30% of their usual abilities, they can contain the Gaotaicheng cavalry offensive and then put them into chaos.
Chop into meat sauce with a knife.
It's a pity that if is always if.
The Xue Yantuo soldiers had no intention of listening to what Xue Qiluo was saying. They tilted their bodies to avoid the latter's attack range and continued to run wildly in a detour. For fear of running half a step slower than their companions, they would become the enemy's next target.
Chase down the target.
"Stop, stop, stop with me. If you flee in the face of battle, you will involve the whole clan!" Xue Qiluo tried his best, but it had no effect.
This Sui army from Gaotaicheng adopted a strange tactic they had never seen before. They put their war horses close together in rows and used the cavalry as infantry. When five hundred cavalry were rolling in the same direction, the horses' hooves would
The ground was smashed up and down. The momentum was enough to make one's heart burst with fear just by looking at it. Not to mention holding a weapon like a mantis in front of the rolling hooves of horses!
"Dong dong dong, dong dong, dong dong dong dong dong..." From the Central Military Department, there was a sound of fine drums, awakening Xue Qiluo's mind that had lost the ability to function.
"Come closer, the Guards are coming closer to me! Pick up the spears and move outward in unison." The next moment, Xue Qiluo simply gave up on blocking the defeated troops, "Commanders, come closer to me. Escape even if you escape, yes.
The warriors of Changshengtian died in front of the battle."
"He is a warrior of Changshengtian, and he died in front of the battle." Hundreds of soldiers who were originally following Xue Qiluo and trying to stop the retreating soldiers repeated loudly at the top of their voices. Then, they grabbed their spears one by one and tried to lean to the right wing.
General flag.
"You can't escape death even if you run back..."
Just relying on dissuasion and killing cannot change the thinking of the defeated soldiers. At the critical moment, someone must step forward and risk their lives. As long as they can block the opponent's offensive for a moment, it is possible for the defeated soldiers who have lost the ability to think.
To regain his sanity. By then, more people will inevitably gather around him, and maybe there is hope to turn the tide.
Some Xue Yantuo warriors from various tribes were also inspired by Xue Qiluo's soldiers, dragging their spears or scimitars, reminding each other and rushing towards Xue Qiluo, trying to make the last struggle. The rationality of many years of fighting told them that this time
It is right to gather around Xue Qiluo.
A small phalanx quickly appeared in outline among the crowd of defeated troops. In the middle of the phalanx, Xue Qiluo bit his scarlet teeth and shouted: "The spear points and knife points are pointed at the horse.
Eyes. The war horses are timid and don’t dare to hit the gun point by themselves!”
However, their opponent was far more "cunning" than any enemy they had encountered before. Zhou Hu, who was rushing at the front, suddenly put his hand behind the saddle, and then violently waved his arm, "Huh——
!", a javelin suddenly appeared in mid-air, and as soon as the sound of breaking through the air sounded, the javelin already appeared above the head of Xue Yantuo's square formation that had just gathered.
