Chapter 372: The War Begins!
readx;? Chapter 372
"Coax, coax, coax!"
At the bottom of the high mountain, there is still some distance from the bottom of the slope, more than 400 infantry are in a neat array, one by one holding a high steel tower shield, constantly lifting, falling, lifting, falling, towards the top of the mountain to make a "coaxing" challenge sound. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The four hundred infantrymen roared like thousands of people, a huge sound, surging, and the whole mountain shook violently in this masculine and domineering sound.
Under the effect of this wave of sound, even the sky above the opposite mountain was gusting with gusts of wind and waves, blowing the entire forest of the mountains.
Although these 400 infantry were not the elite of the Great Dou Army, they were all selected from all over Longxi and were deeply influenced by the Great Dou Army.
All of them have been trained in a series of Great Fighting Forces. And there are quite a few people, who are directly selected by this captain from the Great Dou Army.
This is also the reason why this captain of the Great Dou Army is full of confidence in these four hundred foot soldiers.
"Everyone strictly follows the array, and those who dare to go out at will will will be killed!-"
The high-pitched voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the captain of the Great Dou Army rode on the war horse, the long sword in his hand was raised, and the cold light of the sword peak shone in the entire heaven and earth.
Behind him, at a distance, dense cavalry lined up in a neat array, each with high fighting spirit.
It's a tactic!
Even in battle, there was enough space for the cavalry to charge. From this alone, it can be seen that the commander of the Great Dou Army is not stupid.
Whether it was a huge tower shield, an infantry array pulled back three hundred meters, or a gap left for the cavalry charge behind them...... , it can be seen that this commander is different from the previous commander, his mind is much more delicate.
Tactics and strategies have also taken into account many details.
The infantry was in front, fending off the first wave of charge. After the opponent's momentum slowed down, the cavalry dispatched to hedge with the opponent, breaking the team's line and disrupting the opponent's cavalry in one fell swoop.
-- This is a typical mixed infantry and cavalry tactic on the modern battlefield.
Even the Great Fighting Army of Longxi will often use this method of warfare in the battle against Wu Sizang!
A large number of heavy shields to restrain the cavalry charge, coupled with the infantry and cavalry that far outnumbered the opponent, this is also the reason why the captain of the Great Dou Army is full of confidence in this battle.
"Knock knock!"
The war drums were beating, and just as the captain of the Great Dou Army was looking at the opposite side, waiting for the Uszang army on the opposite mountain to appear, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in his ears.
A marching inspector from below galloped over.
"My lord, it's not good!"
"What's the matter?"
The captain of the Great Doujun frowned and said with some displeasure.
"Back to my lord, I just found out that there are two hundred people missing!"
"What ?!!"
The face of the captain of the Great Dou Army changed sharply, and his eyes became sharp:
"Bastard, are you kidding me!"
It was unbelievable that there were 200 fewer men on the march. Such a large amount is not a small matter!
Cold sweat came out of the forehead of the marching inspector, and he hurriedly told the story of the incident. He had just discovered that there were so many fewer people on the march.
The military law of the Great Dou Army is strict, and this is no joke!
"Do you know who escaped?"
The captain of the Great Dou Army said with a stern expression.
"The name has been decided!"
The marching inspector hurriedly reported the names of those who were missing. All of these people are almost all children of the big families in the capital.
The children of the big family are greedy for life and afraid of death, and there is no doubt that these people know the danger and run away in advance.
This is typical desertion!
"Bastard thing!"
The face of the captain of the Great Dou Army was extremely gloomy, and his lungs were exploding. This act of fleeing before the war is punishable by death. It is okay for these sons of the capital families to be in the capital, but it is unforgivable that they dare to run away like this under his command.
It's really his big fight army that he doesn't dare to behead these boys!
Just as the sound of thunder in my heart was like thunder, there was a sudden boom, the earth shook, and a huge breath came from the top of the opposite mountain like a mountain and a sea.
"Whew!"
The wind between heaven and earth was fierce, and on horseback, the captain of the Great Dou Army seemed to feel something, and his heart was shocked, and he raised his head violently, only to see that on the high mountain peaks opposite, among the rows of dense bushes, the heads of war horses suddenly poked out!
Barley horses!
The captain of the Great Dou Army was shocked in his heart, and almost instantly recognized the blue-black war horses that appeared on the top of the opposite mountain. The barley horse is the most outstanding war horse on the Wusi-Tibetan Plateau, with a huge lung capacity, so although the limbs are short and relatively small compared to the Central Plains horse, it is extremely strong.
On top of that, they have strong bones and great strength!
In the past battles between Datang and Wusizang, almost all of these war horses exerted extremely strong combat effectiveness.
At this moment, hundreds of blue-black barley horses maintained a lined line, overlooking the mountain. The war horses, their eyes were bright, and they didn't even move, just like sculptures.
A powerful aura swept down, making people feel heavy pressure!
"You choose to retreat, and the matter of these deserters will be dealt with later!"
The expression of the captain of the Great Dou Army changed slightly, and he quickly waved the marching inspector away, and at the same time, the sword in his right hand was raised high, issuing a series of heavy and powerful orders.
"Everyone listen to the order, prepare!"
A high-pitched voice resounded through the void, and the whole atmosphere suddenly became tense. Everyone's eyes were on the opposite hill.
As for the matter of Wang Chong and others, he forgot all about it.
Although 200 people escaped, the impact of this number on the whole army was still negligible. Around him, seven or eight hundred soldiers were still gathered.
This number is much higher than the Uszang cavalry on the opposite side!
"Rumble!"
Almost at the same time, on the towering mountain opposite, more than 300 Usizang cavalrymen slowly walked out of the woods and appeared in everyone's field of vision with gloomy faces, like demon gods stepping out of hell.
These Usizang's cavalrymen were all covered in armor, their eyes were fierce, and even the barley war horses under them were covered with heavy armor, and they were armed to the teeth.
And on them, there is an extremely heavy aura of mountains.
This kind of aura, even if it was a long distance, still made the Tang cavalry at the foot of the mountain feel heavy pressure. The captain of the Great Dou Army also changed slightly.
These guys are elite soldiers, there's no doubt about that!
"The tower shield falls to the ground, and the center of gravity tilts!"
"Archers prepare, start winding!"
"Cavalry ready, listen to my orders at any time!"
......
In a short period of time, the captain of the Great Dou Army issued a series of orders, and then the sound of the bow and crossbow was drawn, and more than 400 steel tower shields more than one person high also fell heavily to the ground.
The infantry behind the tower shield were all silent.
"It's finally time for war!"
Almost at the same time, on the top of the mountain, where the breath was extremely low, Wu Sizang looked at the array of Han troops as thin as ants at the bottom of the mountain, and a hideous smile appeared in his eyes.
It's finally time for the final battle.
After defeating this last ** and destroying the official post, they can leave here and return to Uszang.
This mission is almost over.
There is no doubt that the current ** is no longer as good as Uszang.
"Whoosh!"
With a flick of his right hand, Commander Uszang grabbed the scimitar at his waist, drew it, and slammed it in the air, raising it high above his head.
The unique shape of the Uszor scimitar shimmered with a palpitating chill under the void.
"The whole army obeys the order, defeat this **, and we can return to the Uszang Plateau!"
"Coax!"
More than three hundred Uszang Iron Riders looked excited, and all of them let out a roaring echo, and waves of fierce murderous aura surged out of them like a tide.
"Hey, hey, okay!"
Feeling the murderous aura behind him, a trace of excitement flashed in the eyes of the commander Uszang at the front, and then the scimitar raised in his hand swung down fiercely:
"All the troops are leaving!"
"Buzz!"
The earth roared, and more than 300 Us-Tibetan cavalry were fully armed, one by one, riding blue-black barley horses from the top of the high mountain, charging down the mountain.
They didn't start very fast, but slowly, faster and faster, until at last the whole earth trembled beneath their feet.
A heavy aura like a mountain, huge and incomparable, slowly emanating from them. And this aura is still growing exponentially.
Not only that, but even the originally dense array began to change, one echelon, two echelons, three echelons...... , more than 300 people, and finally turned into more than ten echelons, like undulating waves, along the long slope towards the foot of the mountain.
Trapezoidal Charge Array!
This is the most typical, most powerful and most powerful charging array unearthed by the Wusizang cavalry in a long period of time.
With the help of the steep hillside, the iron cavalry divided into countless trapezoidal formations, like waves of the sea, constantly washing over the opposing infantry defensive array.
No matter how strong a fully armed infantry array is, it can block a wave of war horse charges, but it may not be able to block the second, third, and fourth waves...... Tenth wave, twentieth wave......
When the number of charges reaches a certain level, it will definitely be able to break the opponent's frontline camp, and then tear the entire infantry phalanx, completely shattering the opponent.
As soon as the front-line infantry camp collapses, then the chaos spreads to the entire army!
-- This is a secret that the Tibetans have discovered in countless wars with Middle-earth!
The echelon charge array will leave enough room for cavalry to charge and adjust, so that even if the cavalry charge in front fails, it will not affect the subsequent cavalry charge.
Such an array is more continuous than a dense cavalry array charge. The time of impact strength extends dramatically!
Of all the cavalry in the world, only the Usz-Tibetans could make full use of this and maximize the power of the trapezoidal array.
"Boom!"
The earth shook, and Uszang charged faster and faster, faster and faster, like a snowball, reaching an incredible speed.
From a distance, it looks like a blue-black thunderbolt on the mountains, constantly advancing along the undulating slopes.
That momentum is thunderous and lightning, overwhelming, unstoppable!
At the bottom of the mountain, the captain of the Great Dou Army showed a solemn look on his face for the first time.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have underestimated this Uszzang army!
