Turbulent Times Chapter 311: A tactic that has never appeared before
"Keep the formation, keep the formation! Use the shield to protect the mount, protect the mount!" Zhou Hu bent his body on the horse's neck, raised his elbows at the same time, and tried his best to use the shield hanging on his upper arm to replace the horse. The horses block the arrows.
With a snap of his fingers, Zhou Hu had already led the cavalry, shortening the distance between the enemy and us to only fifty steps. According to previous combat experience and usual training and research, as long as everyone continues to charge about thirty steps forward, the enemy's feathered arrows will not pose a threat to the cavalry.
"Shoot!" "Shoot!" "Shoot..." Xue Qiluo shouted at the top of his lungs. The soldiers around him opened their throats, repeating over and over again. Amidst the frantic shouts, the second round of feathered arrows passed over the heads of Xue Yantuo's spearmen, noisy and noisy.
"Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom!" Nearly five hundred cavalrymen ran at the same rhythm, and the sound of hooves was earth-shattering. ,
"Swish...swish...swish..." The feather arrow flew over a distance of thirty steps and shot into the cavalry, bringing up clouds of red mist.
Red mist filled the air, and the six or seven war horses running in the first three rows fell to the ground screaming in grief, throwing the cavalry on their backs far away, their tendons and bones broken.
"Continue to shoot, continue to shoot, shoot the horse, shoot the horse!" Accompanied by the loud voices of the soldiers, Xue Qiluo's voice echoed over the crescent moon formation, as if full of confidence and arrogance.
"Swish...swish...swish..." More feathered arrows passed over the heads of Xue Yantuo's shield bearers and spear-wielding warriors, and they kept bringing a line of arrows from the cavalry team of Gaotai City. life.
The first five rows of the cavalry in Gaotai City were quickly smashed to pieces. The sixth, seventh, and eighth platoons of cavalry were also devastated by the feather arrows, and became as jagged as canine teeth. However, starting from the ninth row, they were not at all moved by the feather arrows flying in the air. The soldiers bent down, protected the horse's neck with the riding shield on their left arm, and gently clamped the horse's belly with their legs, stepping on the corpse and blood of Pao Ze and continued to push forward.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom!" The sound of horseshoes fell, and the thunder continued.
"Swish...swish...swish..."The feathers and arrows are like weaving, playing the movement of death.
"Keep shooting, keep shooting, shoot the horse, shoot the horse! Don't stop, don't panic!" Xue Qiluo's voice, mixed with the loud voices of the soldiers, was faintly anxious.
The distance between the two sides was less than twenty steps, but the Gaotai City cavalry continued to advance. Their team was like a thick bamboo pole. After a whole section was cut off, the rest was still as sharp as before.
"Whoo...whoosh...whoosh..." The archer adjusted the angle of the arrow shaft, trying to make the feathered arrow not only threaten the cavalry on the opposite side, but also not accidentally hurt his own shieldman and spearman.
The closer the combatants are, the more difficult this maneuver will be. And the distance of less than twenty steps is already close at hand for a war horse. In the rain of arrows all over the sky, Zhou Hu's spear suddenly deflected, and he shouted: "Come with me, we will pierce them!"
"Pierce through them, through them!" The young bodies straightened up from the horseback. The tip of the specially made long horizontal knife is pointed obliquely, and the left leg gently stimulates the horse's belly.
The entire team turned against Xue Yantuo's army's shield wall and gun forest, and the giant python turned over. Before Xue Qiluo and Xue Yantuo's soldiers could react, they pounced on the unshielded right wing of Yanyue Formation.
The next moment, the "Crescent" collapsed!
Where horseshoes pass, corpses are everywhere!
Among the Xue Yantuo fighters on the right wing of the Yanyue formation, most of them ran for their lives all night, their hands and feet were weak, and their muscles were sore and weak. After the land, there is nothing left again, how can there be any fighting spirit? In a blink of an eye, the formation disintegrated, one by one lost their knives and fled in all directions.
"Hold on, hold on, there are not many people on the other side!" Xue Qiluo's eyes were red with anxiety, and he ordered his own soldiers to cut down a deserter, and reminded him loudly.
Although the enemy's cavalry was aggressive, their number was only five hundred. If these 7,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers can display 20 to 30% of their usual abilities, they will be able to contain the cavalry attack from Gaotai City, and then chop them into meat paste.
Unfortunately, if will always be if.
The soldiers Xue Yantuo didn't even bother to listen to what Xue Qiluo was saying, they tilted their bodies to avoid the latter's attack range, and continued to run wildly around the road. I am afraid that if I run half a step slower than my companions, I will become the next target of the enemy.
"Stop, stop, stop with me. Fleeing before the battle, implicating the whole clan!" Xue Qiluo tried his best, but nothing worked.
The Sui army from Gaotai City adopted a strange tactic they had never seen before. They put their horses in rows and used cavalry as infantry. When five hundred cavalrymen rolled towards the same direction, the horseshoes smashed the ground up and down. That aura, just looking at it, is heartbreaking. Not to mention holding a weapon like a praying mantis in front of the rolling horseshoes!
"Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom boom..." From the Central Army Office, there was a dense sound of drumming, which awakened Xue Qiluo's mind that had lost the ability to function.
"Come closer, the soldiers come closer to me! Pick up the spears and go out together." The next moment, Xue Qiluo simply gave up blocking the rout soldiers, "The soldiers, come closer to me. It is also the same to escape back Death is a warrior of Changshengtian, and he dies in front of the battle."
"He was a warrior of Changshengtian, and he died in front of the battle." The hundreds of soldiers who were behind Xue Qiluo and tried to stop the rout, repeated loudly. Immediately, one by one grabbed their spears and tried their best to lean against the flag on the right wing.
"If you escape back, you will die..."
Persuasion and killing alone cannot change the thoughts of the defeated soldiers. At critical moments, someone must step forward and risk their lives. As long as they can block the opponent's attack for a while. It is possible for a defeated soldier who has lost the ability to think to regain his sanity. At that time, more people will inevitably gather by his side, maybe there is still hope to turn the tide.
Some Xue Yantuo fighters from various ministries were also encouraged by Xue Qiluo's soldiers, dragging spears or scimitars, reminding each other to rush towards Xue Qiluo, trying to make the last struggle, the reason of years of battle told It was right for them to gather around Xue Qiluo at this time.
A small phalanx quickly emerged from the crowd of rout soldiers. In the middle of the phalanx, Xue Qiluo bit his scarlet teeth hard, and shouted: "The point of the spear and the tip of the knife are both pointed at the horse's eyes. The horse is too timid to ram itself into the point of the spear!"
However, their opponents are far more "cunning" than any enemies they have encountered before. Zhou Hu, who was rushing to the front, suddenly put his hand behind the saddle, and then he swung his arm violently, "Huh!", a javelin suddenly appeared in mid-air, and just as the sound of piercing the air sounded, the javelin had already appeared On top of Xue Yantuo's phalanx that had just gathered.
