"Hu—" "Hu—" "Hu—" Another hundred javelins followed Zhou Hu and were thrown out by the cavalry behind Zhou Hu. Xue Yantuo's warriors who had just formed a square formation were caught off guard.
, there were screams, dozens of people were shot to death by javelins, and the phalanx that had just taken shape suddenly opened a huge gap about ten feet wide.
"Huh--" Zhou Hu refused to give up. Following his order, another hundred javelins were shot out like lightning, falling towards Xue Yantuo's phalanx, and there were screams.
Because they had to maintain an orderly formation, the Gaotaicheng cavalry did not advance very quickly. However, precisely because they were not fast enough, they were able to throw two rounds of javelins in succession before their horses came into contact with the spear formation.
In a hurry, the soldiers on the opposite side, Xue Yantuo, had no idea how to deal with it. They could only rely on their own experience to dodge, escape, and block. In the blink of an eye, the rudimentary phalanx fell apart again.
"Standing here is waiting for death, fight with them!" Seeing the Sui army on the opposite side reaching for the saddle with his right hand for the third time, Xue Qiluo couldn't bear it anymore, roared angrily, and ordered an attack on the cavalry first.
"I will fight with you!" "I will fight with you!" Sparse echoes sounded behind him. More than a hundred Xue Yantuo rushed forward with spears or scimitars. Everyone died.
Staring at the war horses not far away, everyone forced themselves not to look back.
They stepped over the corpses of their accomplices and stepped over the blood-stained hillsides, using as fast a speed as possible to close the distance between the two armies. Ten steps, five steps, three steps, everyone exerted force on their arms,
Stab or chop at the neck of the horse in front of you. Stab the person first and stab the horse...
The Sui army overemphasized the strictness of the military formation and did not take advantage of the speed advantage of the cavalry. If they could stab the horses, they would most likely be hit by the horses or killed by the opponent, but they also successfully blocked the opponent's cavalry.
"Ah -" the voices of more than a hundred heroic Xue Yantuo soldiers changed their tone due to nervousness. Their eyes were wide open, catching every move of their opponents. They felt that they were about to succeed. They saw the fear in their eyes.
. However, just before the spear point or scimitar in their hands was about to pierce the horse's neck, they seemed to see the contempt and irony on the faces of the Sui soldiers on horseback.
Before the weapons in the hands of more than a hundred Xue Yantuo warriors touched the opponent's horses, the cavalry on the horses swept their swords, twice as long as ordinary swords, neatly against their shoulders and cut their throats.
Cut off their heads.
The cavalry tactics that Zhou Hu led just now are new tactics that Wang Junlin spent more than half a year researching. Naturally, they have been verified through exercises long ago, and the results have proven to be very effective on the battlefield.
The crumbling phalanx had no resistance in front of the cavalry from Gaotaicheng that was advancing in waves. In just a few clicks, more than a hundred Xue Yantuo warriors who took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the cavalry were slaughtered. One of them was
Most of the time, he turned around in panic and ran away, but was chased from behind and chopped down by the cavalry. In the blink of an eye, the body was trampled into balls of red mud by the horses' hooves.
"Ah——" Xue Yantuo's soldiers, who had lost the formation bonus and witnessed the tragic deaths of more than a hundred warriors, were all frightened. They yelled and ran away at twice the speed of before.
Escape. Some of the more daring soldiers had already stopped and looked back. When they found that the makeshift phalanx was being crushed by their opponents, they were so frightened that they let out a scream, dropped their weapons, and ran like wolves.
"Complete the team, unite the team, hold on to the mount!" Xue Qiluo showed no interest in chasing down the defeated soldiers. He pressed against the edge of the mountain road and tightened the reins of the war horse.
Nearly five hundred cavalrymen slowly gathered around him. With dazzling skillful movements, they reorganized the team into four columns. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Hu quickly scanned the enemy troops, and then pointed his lance at Yanyue.
The second half of the formation's right wing, "Turn right, don't stick too close. Scatter their sheep!"
"Right turn, scatter their sheep!"
"Right turn, scatter their sheep!"
"Spread the sheep..."
The cavalrymen repeated loudly, tapping their stirrups lightly at the same time. The entire cavalry formation turned over as heavily as a giant python. It drove Xue Yantuo, who was fleeing in panic, to break up his troops and roll back toward the rear half of the right wing of the Yanyue Formation.
.
When encountering Xue Yantuo's retreating troops who refused to continue running for their lives, he waved his hand and struck with a sword. To those who fled frantically, he deliberately kept a distance of half a horse's length, so that the other party had no chance to turn around and bite back, but also did not dare to stop and ask for surrender.
How did Xue Yantuo, who had lost the ability to think, know that Zhou Hu was deliberately taking advantage of them? They were driven by the Gaotaicheng cavalry and rolled back in groups in the same direction. Soon, the other captain was finally defeated
The gathered group of people and horses were also rolled up and unable to stand, and melted quickly like snow under the scorching sun.
"Turn around and attack the enemy's back. Archers, archers quickly return to the center. Anyone who dares to attack the formation will be shot without distinction!" At the center of the Yanyue Formation, Xue Qiluo was so angry that he shouted loudly.
The group of sword and shield soldiers and the Xue Yantuo warriors holding spears who had previously attacked the Gaotaicheng cavalry but were left hanging between two crescents by Zhou Hu, moved their legs crazily and pounced on the cavalry. There were many of them and they could run.
Not much slower than war horses, they must contain the Gaotaicheng cavalry before their right wing collapses completely, creating opportunities for others to swarm forward.
However, before they could get back to their positions, a thousand infantrymen from Gaotaicheng behind the cavalry finally arrived. Without hesitation, they raised their steel swords and chopped off the back of the heads of these Xue Yantuo soldiers.
“Ah, I’ll fight you—!”
Xue Yantuo's sword and shield soldiers and spearmen had to turn around to save themselves, and fought for their lives with the Gaotaicheng infantry who were twice as many as their own. Xue Qiluo, who was standing at the center of the formation and watching the battle, was shocked and quickly ordered the Yanyue Formation loudly.
The soldiers on the left wing changed their formations and provided support to the right wing as soon as possible. At this moment, Zhou Hu took the opportunity to lead the cavalry in a maneuver and pounced on the right wing of the Yanyue Formation, which became the last straw that crushed the right wing.
The Gaotaicheng cavalry, supported by a thousand infantrymen, instantly became more powerful. They defeated more and more Xue Yantuo soldiers who had gathered. Xue Qiluo was forced to panic and had to order his own soldiers to stop him. Facing the
The most elite soldiers around Xue Qiluo were helpless against the overwhelming tide of soldiers. They were quickly overwhelmed and lost their footing, and began to retreat step by step.
"Fifty of you, take forty steps to the right and fire three rounds of volleys!" Seeing that the Chinese army was in danger, Xue Qiluo panicked and decisively issued an extremely vicious order to the last fifty soldiers around him.
