The muskets fired continuously, and the Northern Zhou cavalry rushing up from the front also fell down.
Compared with the Northern Zhou infantry who were caught off guard, the Han army was relatively well prepared.
Although their own cavalry did not say hello when they rushed out, the Han infantry did not intend to pin their hopes of defeating the enemy directly on them. If everything was taken care of by the Yulin cavalry, wouldn't they become
Soy sauce.
The Northern Zhou cavalry was already close at hand.
The sound of drums rose from the ground, and Li Ping used the drums to give his orders.
The two wings of the Han army suddenly moved forward, while the central army raised their shields and were as steady as Mount Tai.
The simplest encirclement tactic, using the Guards to deal with the enemy's cavalry whose formation has been scattered, is enough!
Li Jing gritted his teeth. The people he led were standing at the forefront of the Chinese army. They would serve as the first line of defense against the enemy. After all, Li Ping was the one who had been with Li Xinchen for so long. He was absolutely killing when he came up.
This move is also a dangerous move!
Using the central army to withstand the enemy's attack and outflanking it with the left and right wings is a sign of trust in the officers and soldiers of the left and right wings, and it is also a new responsibility for the officers and soldiers of the central army. Once the central army cannot resist it, or even if the central army suffers too much damage, there will be
It may cause the entire military formation to be shaken!
Getting closer, getting closer!
"Spear!" Li Jing ordered decisively.
The spear poked out from between the two shields, like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole, and the red snake letter suddenly protruded!
The Northern Zhou cavalryman was stabbed in the chest and fell off his horse. His horse hit the shield and was pushed forward by the Han army. The horse immediately neighed, turned backwards, and was actually loaded into one of his own men.
In the formation, several Northern Zhou cavalrymen were hit by the war horse. They panicked and tried to control this "black sheep", but the Han army soldiers had already moved forward!
That's right, the Han army has no intention of simply standing here and guarding this line of defense.
Standing here, whether we can hold it or not depends on whether the enemy has the determination to advance forward. With the impact of the cavalry, the enemy can always break through the infantry defense line at any time as long as they are willing. After all, the combined strength of man and horse will not matter.
It is said that it is greater than a simple person!
After practicing so many times with the Yulin Cavalry and experiencing being abused again and again, the Imperial Guards had their own methods of dealing with the cavalry.
As the battle leaders in the formation issued orders almost simultaneously, the Han army's shields suddenly separated to both sides. The Northern Zhou cavalry obviously did not expect that the enemy would suddenly give way to a path, and almost subconsciously rode their horses to follow the path of the shields.
They rushed inside, but they never expected that this was just another trap.
After the shields got out of the way, they waited for the Northern Zhou cavalry to rush into the formation and closed it again. Along the road where the Northern Zhou cavalry broke in, shields were also erected on both sides. Long spears thrust out from the gaps in the shields at the same time.
The spears on one side formed a cross, and the Northern Zhou cavalry at the intersection of the spears would definitely be stabbed by the other side regardless of whether they blocked the spears on that side.
However, the Northern Zhou cavalry was not stupid. They hurriedly pressed the Han army's shield defense line on both sides. Since they were attacked on both sides, they made their array wider. Wouldn't it mean that they were attacked on one side?
However, their wishful thinking was obviously a little too early. Deep in the front of the array, the shields separated again. The big Han's Mo Dao team quickly moved out, and from the center of the Mo Dao team came out a heavy armored soldier wielding a mountain-breaking axe.
At this time, the Northern Zhou cavalry could already feel that these guys oncoming were not easy to mess with. Looking at the guys in their hands, they knew that they were tailor-made to deal with the cavalry. If the big ax struck on the body, it would probably be...
No one can escape.
The cavalrymen looked back in panic, and saw that the Han saber-shielders behind had completely closed the previous gap. This was basically setting up a huge trap. At this time, the Northern Zhou cavalry who was supposed to be hunters suddenly discovered that they were the prey.
.
The heavy armored soldiers marched neatly into the Northern Zhou cavalry. The guys on horseback had already lost the speed of their advance. In addition, they had hesitated for a while, and they no longer had the courage to directly challenge them.
, being charged by the heavy armor, the Northern Zhou cavalry immediately retreated, not to mention the Mo Dao troops on both wings who were directly forcing them up. Even behind them, the spearmen of the Han army began to gradually press, blocking their retreat!
There is the devil in front and the yaksha behind. It is really a dilemma!
"Break through, break out!" The soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty panicked and subconsciously turned their horses' heads.
"Move forward, there is hope only by moving forward!" The generals were still urging the soldiers to rush forward at the top of their lungs. At this time, the people in front turned around, and the people behind could not react at all. Moreover, the horses had lost their speed, so they turned around and headed again.
Rushing from behind requires awkward turns, which makes you a living target.
However, the generals forgot that even if these cavalrymen wanted to understand this truth, who would care about the overall situation now? Everyone was worried about their lives, so they turned around and retreated in the direction they came from.
It's almost the most instinctive reaction that people can make in such a dangerous situation.
What everyone wants is to survive.
"Encircle!" Li Ping also gave the order.
The Han infantry formation suddenly shrank to the center.
"Kill!" Li Jing raised the spear in his hand and knocked a Northern Zhou soldier off his horse with one shot.
Blood splashed onto Xiao Shilue's face next to him, making Xiao Shilue shudder.
"Why are you still standing there?!" Li Jing yelled.
Xiao Shilue pounced on him almost subconsciously, thrust his knife downwards, and pierced the chest of the Northern Zhou soldier. This time, more blood spattered on his body, and he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Li Jing grabbed him: "What do you want to do?! Hold on to your knife!"
Xiao Shi took a deep breath, raised his hand to Li Jing, and swung his sword towards the enemy not far away. Li Jing laughed. It was normal for him to show off when he first went to the battlefield to kill people, but he wanted to become a qualified soldier.
, then you have to get used to this bloody killing.
"Dang!" The sword in Xiao Shilue's hand was raised to block the saber chopped down by the Northern Zhou cavalry. The two swords collided and even sparked.
Xiao Shilue paused and was almost knocked to the ground by the powerful force, but he still managed to stand upright. The Northern Zhou cavalry gave a "squeak" sound, withdrew his sword and struck head-on again!
But he didn't notice that behind Xiao Shilue, a spear suddenly came out and stabbed directly into the belly of the horse under the crotch of the Northern Zhou cavalry.
The horse neighed and stood up. The Northern Zhou cavalry did not expect such a sudden appearance. They did not grab the reins and fell directly from the horse's back. Even their swords fell to the ground.
Xiao Shilue roared and slashed forward with his sword. The Zhou man was quite capable and rolled away on the spot.
