Chapter Eighty-Seven: Brutal Fighting

After Li Le and Hu Cai saw such an exchange ratio, their reactions were different.

Li Le was so angry that he scolded, the other party was so well-equipped and well-trained, it was not more than 5,000 people, but more than 5,000 killing gods.

If you lose more than 10,000 soldiers, it will be a nerve-wracking. But if you don't repel the Xiliang army and retreat to defend the city, then this first batch of people will die in vain.

Hu Cai is not worried, more people will save a lot of food, anyway, the autumn harvest is almost over, and it is not of much use for these people to keep. If there is enough grain left, it can be sold to the Xiongnu, and when the time comes, they will go south together and divide the property and land equally, maybe they can still ......

The Bai Bo army finally rushed forward, after all, the momentum of 20,000 people was still difficult to stop by the one or two thousand people in the front chaos.

However, the front of the dreadnought's position is not very wide, and this space is the most suitable for a military formation of 3,000 people, and it is okay for 6,000 or 7,000 people to be crowded together, but more than 10,000 people will be crowded if they rush forward.

The wooden tools in the hands of some of the White Wave soldiers could not resist the spears and ring-headed knives in the hands of the dreadnoughts, and even if they hit the opponent's iron shield and armor, the effect was limited.

On the contrary, when I saw the heavy infantry swinging their swords, a circle of people around them hurriedly took a few steps back, and when they swung elsewhere, they approached, and some of them were slow to hide or were pushed by the people behind and could not retreat, and they became miserable souls under the sword.

Those who threw stones achieved some success, and many of the dreadnought soldiers in the front row were smashed by them with bruises and purples, and even bleeding from their heads.

However, when they went to pick up the stones again, countless pairs of big feet immediately stepped on them and trampled them to death. Because the formation of the White Polish Army was completely crowded together, whoever bent down would be trampled miserably.

Under the intersection of blades, the dreadnoughts relied on training, armor, blades and formations to achieve a one-to-ten victory, and the white Polish army suffered hundreds of casualties when they trampled on each other, coupled with the dreadnought archers constantly throwing and killing the rear of the White Polish army, the white Polish army was once again on the verge of collapse.

Li Le and Hu Cai saw that the situation was stalemate, and immediately sent 10,000 soldiers and horses each, but this time instead of rushing in front of the dreadnought, they detoured to both sides.

When the commander and commander of the Baibo army in the battle saw this, they also commanded their soldiers and horses to move to the two wings. In this way, the people in the central area where the two sides were fighting were no longer crowded and trampled to death as before, but the remaining people were gradually able to form a formation.

Seeing that the situation had changed, Tong Yuan ordered Xu Huang to prepare for battle, and Xu Huang immediately led the brave barbarian battalion to move to the northeast, that is, to the right side of the dreadnought formation.

Not long after Tong Yuan ordered Xu Huang's troops to move, the Bai Bo army had already completed the movement to the east and west flanks, and if the battle continued, even if the dreadnought army routed the enemy head-on, the flanks would suffer huge losses.

Xu Rong saw that the Baibo Army, which totaled about 40,000 troops, was close to completing the semi-encirclement of the 12th and 13th Brigades of the Dreadnought Army, and even Huang Yu and Yang Feng had already led their direct troops to fight at the east and west ends, trying their best to stop the encirclement of the enemy.

Xu Rong looked at Tong Yuan, Tong Yuan nodded at Xu Rong reassuringly, and Xu Rong immediately ordered the drum to beat quickly.

As the dense sound of "dong dong dong" resounded on the side of the dreadnought, the third cavalry brigade led by Hu Lang'er entered the battlefield.

At the time of the battle, the 12th and 13th Brigades attracted the opponent's 20,000 men and horses to the front with more than 3,000 soldiers and horses. The 3rd Cavalry Brigade has been moving due east and not north.

As 10,000 enemy troops on the east and west sides moved towards the flanks of Huang Yu and Yang Feng respectively, the flanks of the Baibo army on the east side were exposed in front of Hu Lang'er's cavalry. At this time, Hu Lang'er led 800 heavy cavalry not to directly attack the flank, but moved towards the flank and rear of this Baibo army.

The White Polish Army, who had been fighting while observing the movements of the dreadnought cavalry, immediately understood that they would be subjected to cavalry attacks. Where can ordinary soldiers still concentrate on fighting according to orders?

A lieutenant of the White Polish Army on this side shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, there are only five or six hundred cavalry at this point, and our brothers in the west are all fighting bravely to kill the enemy. There are also a thousand heroes on horseback behind them. Rest assured! They can't beat our cavalry. ”

It turned out that Hu Cai arranged 10,000 soldiers and horses to kill to the east side, and he also vaguely saw that the other party had hundreds of cavalry on guard behind, thinking that it was scouts or something, so he sent the elite 1,000 horse bandits in the army to help, and he was always vigilant against the cavalry of the dreadnought.

At this time, the 1,000 horse bandits directly protected the back of their army and faced Hu Lang'er's 800 heavy cavalry head-on.

Two battalions of Hu Lang'er's heavy cavalry were arranged on the two flanks, and he led a small number of soldiers and horses in the center, gradually accelerating towards the Baibo army in small steps.

The horse bandits of the White Polish Army were directly more than a mile away, and they began to rush wildly, and some of them even raised their sabers and rode bows while roaring and rushing. This would obviously be a waste of power and would make the formation even looser and weaker.

The distance between the two sides was only a little more than a hundred paces, and a loud and long horse whistle sounded, and the heavy cavalry gradually accelerated, and rushed towards the horse bandits in a formation of five to ten men with their spears drawn up.

Individual horse bandits do not know whether they are alive or dead, and they are speeding up; Some people were frightened, and flashed to the side to draw their bows and aim.

As a result, the formation of 1,000 horse bandits was stretched into a narrow and long formation, and at the beginning, dozens of people directly rushed into the middle of the formation of 800 heavy cavalry and were killed in seconds.

Others slowed down or turned or lay on horseback, in short, at the moment of contact it was always five heavy cavalry against one or two bandits. They were poorly equipped, and they usually bullied the common people and merchants, and where were the opponents of the heavy armored cavalry, they basically did not support more than three rounds.

After a single face, except for more than 200 of the 1,000 horse bandits who turned around and fled or dodged in advance, only seventy or eighty of them rushed through the line of heavy cavalry.

Nearly 100 people from both sides fell to the ground, got up and fought against each other, but Bai Bo's side was obviously at a disadvantage.

Where did the horse bandits who rushed over dare to rush again, they were so frightened that they quickly fled.

Unlike infantry warfare, cavalry battles can be won and lost quickly, and unless one side adopts the tactics of retreating cavalry, it is difficult to have a stalemate. Training, equipment, horses, and the weak side of the formation to hedge against the superior side is to find the fastest way to reimburse yourself.

Some of the more than 200 horse bandits hiding in the rear and on both sides tried to ride and shoot to cause casualties, but the single riding bow with limited pull was a question mark against leather armor, let alone piercing armor?

Hu Lang'er and others are big horses, heavy armor, horse pistols, and compound bows that are easy to ride and shoot. After a period of shooting and pursuit, nearly 100 more of the White Polish army were killed.

After such a stick of incense, the so-called elite cavalry of the White Polish Army no longer exists.
