Ba Chiman led a group of horse thieves to widen the distance, and then quickly turned the horse's head to prepare for the second charge. Controlling the rhythm of the battle is very familiar to them who have been fighting on the horse all year round. On the contrary,
After the casualties occurred in the first hedging operation, this group of city guards obviously did not respond well enough.
"Hold still! Set up your spears! The cavalry behind them hold their ground and don't retreat! They must not be allowed to penetrate the formation." A city guard captain kept shouting.
The people around him obviously started to move as well, trying to make up for the flaws exposed by the casualties as quickly as possible.
Boom boom boom!
The horse thieves' cavalry were like a torrent, rushing into the city guard's gun array without any hesitation. After leaving behind the bodies of more than a dozen horse thieves, the impact successfully tore a gap in the city guard's line.
Then came the locust-like arrows. The well-equipped city guards were beaten to the point where they couldn't even lift their heads. The horse thieves took advantage of this gap to widen the distance again.
Qi Chengcheng stood next to Yi Xifeng, looking at the battle situation on Dajiaoping, and said with some worry: "If this continues, the city guards will not be able to stop them for a few rounds."
Wu Li on the side had her pretty face covered by a long scarf, but her nervousness could still be seen.
"grown ups!"
The silver aura in Xiao Yuanfeng's eyes dissipated, and then he waved his hand, and immediately long horns sounded from the high slope. The city guards also changed their formation.
The cavalry who were originally in formation and behind the spearmen slowly stepped forward and quickly increased their speed. A pair of bright swords were set up from the sides of the horses and went straight towards the horse thieves.
The Western Regions Mo Dao is a great weapon for cavalry in combat, not only because it is far longer and tougher than other weapons, but more importantly, it cooperates with the cavalry saddle to form a large attack range. Whether it is against enemy cavalry or infantry, it can
It is an extremely effective means of close combat.
The horse thieves on the Bachiman side naturally saw the changes in the formation of the City Guards. The tribal leader had already prepared for the Modao Team of the City Guards. There was a certain gap in equipment levels between the two sides. After all, Loulan City
It is a famous commercial capital in the Western Regions, and its financial revenue is far beyond what a large tribe of horse thieves can match.
Therefore, it was obviously unwise to encounter this well-equipped Mo Dao team and engage in direct close combat. I saw a long horn coming from the horse thieves tribe, which was the famous "Sand River Horn" in the Western Regions.
The horse thieves who were about to collide with the Mo Dao team were instantly separated from both sides, allowing the Mo Dao team to rush towards them at a faster speed. At the same time, the group of horse thieves raised their scimitars.
"Stupid! Even the Mo Dao can't reach this distance, let alone the Scimitar of the Western Regions!" Qi Chengcheng snorted coldly when he saw this scene.
Dalamute, who was on the side, naturally heard it clearly, and then mocked: "The head of Qi University should be lucky that he met us at Loulan City that day."
As soon as Dalamt finished speaking, the battle on Dajiaoping took another turn. The horse thieves divided into two teams were seen almost "passing by" the Mo Dao team. Seeing that the entire Mo Dao team was about to kill these
When the charge broke through, the horse thieves on both sides suddenly let out a chorus of shouts.
A scimitar was thrown out by the horse thieves, directly greeting the Mo Dao team.
Puff!
Perhaps it was too sudden, no one expected that these horse thieves would give up their weapons and throw them to attack them. The swords of these city guards were very clumsy, and they could not block them for a while, so they could only turn around and dodge.
For a moment, people were on their backs, and many people were hit by the scimitar. Many others accidentally fell off their horses to avoid the scimitar, and were trampled to pieces in an instant.
"Hold up your bow!" Bachiman shouted.
The horse thieves, who had almost no weapons in their hands, immediately leaned over and took out their long bows from their horse pouches. They all pulled the bows and twisted their bodies, pointing the arrows behind them.
"Let go!" There was another shout. Arrows like locusts flew directly from the rear and scattered towards the Mo Dao team who had already lost their position.
…………
Qi Chengcheng looked at the battle situation on Dajiao Ping with some astonishment. He couldn't help but feel lucky for what Dalamte said just now. The Shenfeng Battalion he led was indeed not bad, and they had an advantage in dealing with these horse thieves in the siege that day.
It's all on show. But what if he really mounted his war horse and opened up the battle formation like he did today.
Even if the veterans of the Shenfeng Battalion could win, it would still be a fierce battle, and the casualty ratio would probably be high. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he had been lucky enough in the past few years. As a famous large business firm in the Western Region, and with the management of the Jihad Hall, he had not been able to do anything in these years.
Encountering a powerful horse thief like Bachiman, he indirectly connected with many powerful horse thieves.
Paying some protection fees every year can be regarded as creating a stable trading environment. Thinking about it this way, the little money that is thrown out every year is generally very cost-effective.
Of course, the dignified Qijia Trading Company would not say that this was the protection they gave out, but just euphemistically called it "humanitarian aid." Yi Xifeng told him this term, and Qi Chengcheng thought it was very impressive.
, very suitable for myself.
After this hedging, the Mo Dao Team, which was the trump card of the City Guards, was completely defeated. Just one hedging lost more than half of it. Even if it was because the opponent changed formation too quickly and was caught off guard, the morale of the City Guards had already dropped to the lowest level.
At freezing point, the number of winners and losers has basically been determined.
"To make you laugh, I thought I would wait until most of these horse thieves were destroyed before I took action, but now it seems that I have to move forward." Xiao Yuanfeng suddenly said in a deep voice.
Lin Fenghuo continued: "City Master Xiao doesn't need to be polite, but if you have something to do, just give him the order directly."
He was ordered by his master to assist Xiao Yuanfeng in quelling the rebellion in Loulan City, and to serve as a frontline for Xiaoyuan Academy to spread Confucian influence in the Western Regions. Naturally, he would not back down at this time.
When Yi Xifeng heard what Heizi said, he was his best friend after all, so how could he watch him go to the battlefield alone. He stood directly behind Lin Fenghuo and expressed his attitude with actions.
Xiao Yuanfeng grinned, waved his hands and said: "Since this battle is the work of an expert from the Demon Cult, he naturally has his goals. Since the previous news has been confirmed, it means that the news said by Dalamt is indeed correct.
.The demon sect’s target is me, and I can’t hide from it.”
Having said that, he stepped down from the high slope and disappeared in an instant. When he reappeared, he was already in mid-air. The speed of this movement alone was far beyond that of ordinary chivalrous warriors.
Seeing this scene, Wu Li jumped up and followed without saying a word.
Lin Fenghuo and Qi Chengcheng also planned to leave, but were held back by Yi Xifeng.
"What?" Both of them looked at him with some confusion.
"The formations under the Dajiaoping are a bit weird. Let's check first and don't rush into the formation. It may be more helpful to City Lord Xiao!" Yi Xifeng has done some research on the formations of the Demon Cult over the years, although he is not familiar with the bloody formations of the Demon Cult.
He didn't understand it, but the formation was the same all the way, so he was one of the first people to discover its clues.
