Turbulent Times Chapter 1268: Big win
The enemy army on the opposite side was also hesitating, and the spears of the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion were also in front of them.
In particular, the formation of the tiger camp phalanx is very straight, and the right hand is hidden behind, so that the enemy cannot judge their assassination distance, so that the enemy feels that if they take another step, they will be attacked by three spears.
Moreover, the enemy uses the downward grip to hold the gun, which is not only difficult, but also requires a section of the gun tail at the back, which reduces the attack range. As time goes on and the physical strength continues to be consumed, the enemy will have to extend the gun tail The length of the gun keeps the gun balanced, so the longer the delay, the more worried and anxious the enemy will be.
As they approached slowly, the only sound left on the front line was the heavy breathing of both sides and the light clashing of nail leaves. Occasionally, officers shouted, but no one listened.
Amidst the silence, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp faced the guns on the opposite side and rubbed forward with the smallest stride. The short period of time is as long as ten thousand years for everyone.
At a certain moment, a squatting tiger battalion soldier in the third row at the back swiftly crossed a short distance, avoiding the rear row of spears at the side of the enemy soldier, and slammed a dagger on the thigh of an enemy soldier .
"Ah!" The tense enemy infantry let out an earth-shattering scream. The scream finally broke the nerves of both sides who were extremely nervous. The densely packed gun barrels on both sides went back and forth between the front lines. After the gun bodies moved, the sound of collision was as dense as raindrops.
Among the chaos, the soldiers of the Tiger Battalion reflexively took a step forward to occupy the attack position. Just like their countless exercises, they stepped forward with their left leg, leaned forward slightly, and protruded forward with both right and left hands at the same time. As fast as lightning, he thrust out, and when he was still a foot away from the opponent's spear blade, he felt a stagnation in his hand, and the spear accurately pierced the enemy soldier's neck, and the whole movement was completed in an instant.
Most of the annoying spears in the first row in front of them fell to the ground with a clang, and when a large wave of enemy soldiers were two or three inches away from the soldiers of the Tiger Camp, they fell to the ground clutching their necks.
The soldiers in the third row at the back of both sides drilled around under the spears, with clusters of sharp spear blades shuttled back and forth on their heads. , The spearman who was killed was often distracted and killed by the spear on the opposite side.
At this time, the battle line has become a mess. More and more soldiers rushed to the middle ground, struggling in front of their respective formations. The pain caused by the cold weapons was very intense. The dense contact surface quickly brought huge casualties.
The first row of Yang Su's side has been wiped out, the second and third rows have already stood up, and soon the Tiger Camp's first row also lost more than half, and the pikemen in the back row continued to fill up. The tidy rear quickly turned into a zigzag.
………
………
The soldiers of the Tiger Camp almost all fought in a state of numbness, completely relying on the body's instinctive reaction developed by countless trainings in the usual times to repeatedly assassinate.
After the first batch of casualties occurred, the two sides fought more and more frantically, and there was no more cautious temptation. Rulin's spears were puffing and puffing in clusters, quickly harvesting lives, and someone fell down every breath in the middle, and often even two people Stabbing each other at the same time, the corpses almost covered the battle line, and the two armies still did not retreat, showing the strongest combat power of this era.
It has to be said that facing the terrifying infantry phalanx of the Far Eastern Army, Li Mi replaced the cavalry with infantry. This decision is actually very wise.
Just as the deaths intensified and the number of deaths increased rapidly, the morale of the infantry on Yang Su's side gradually began to shake, and those who were beaten began to retreat, while the spear formation of the Tiger Camp continued to advance. More and more people fled back and forth.
Wang Junlin gave an order, and Luo Shixin, who had been preparing for a long time, led his cavalry to charge diagonally, and began to chase and kill those deserters. The soldiers of the tiger battalion who were holding iron guns and fast crossbows also began to speed up the attack, and ran to pursue them. When encountering a small group of resisting enemy troops, they stood in line to shoot with fast crossbows, and then began to stab at close quarters to defeat them. There was a wave of stubborn enemy troops.
Li Mi's face was ugly, and he had already dispatched their remaining 20,000 cavalry to meet the infantry's retreat or escape.
The result of the decisive battle of the infantry phalanx soon led to a melee where all the horses and horses on both sides participated in the battle. However, under Wang Junlin's strict order, the infantry phalanx led by Yuchi Jingde steadfastly defended the neat formation. , It is also easy to stab to death when encountering enemy cavalry.
The 20,000 or so cavalry sent by Li Mi soon joined the defeated cavalry and ran to the back of the road. There were also those who rushed in from the forests on both sides in a panic, trying to escape through the forest.
As for the 50,000 to 60,000 bandits nearby, Li Mi had already issued an order for them to attack from all directions. After the scene of more than 20,000 people on the other side, how could these rogues who were fighting against the wind dare to come up, they didn't listen to Li Mi's words at all, and retreated in advance and fled in all directions.
………
………
Li Mi looked at the collapsing army with a pale face. They ran away in panic and even dispersed the soldiers around him who were still standing on their posts. They had completely become bereaved dogs.
Wang Bodang brought some of his soldiers and wanted to kill people to supervise the battle, but his soldiers were instantly overwhelmed and had to follow and flee.
25,000 infantry, more than 1,000 people were killed and injured by the opponent's grenade and crossbow before the battle, and the loss was even greater after approaching, especially the 1,000 cavalry on the two wings of the tiger camp phalanx. Intensive shooting with fast crossbows, Yang Su's infantry phalanx could not bear that kind of loss on the two wings, and had to fight with bows and arrows at a long distance, so that the two wings not only failed to form a breakthrough, but also suffered great losses.
The enemy's pikemen in the middle also failed to gain an advantage in the confrontation, but were quickly defeated by the opponent in formation battles. Li Mi knew just by looking at the formation. The dense enemy battle formation has gradually lost their fighting spirit.
Li Mi was tongue-tied. Although he knew that this was a life-for-life fight, he even thought about the worst plan of exchanging the death of two of his subordinates for the loss of one of the opponent, and finally relied on the superiority of troops to win the opponent. But he never thought that he would be defeated with two or three times the number of the opponent, and the defeat was so fast, even if he decisively invested all the cavalry, it was still difficult to recover the defeat.
