Chapter 201: Cornered

Seeing that it was this more than 9,000 cavalry again, Xiao Yao shouted in his heart that it was bad, now everyone was so tired that they couldn't run, and it was impossible to continue running, so they could only organize a formation defense on the spot!

Xiao Yao pulled out his saber, pointed at the Qi cavalry who were rushing over quickly, and shouted loudly: "Everyone surround, shield soldiers and spearmen form a shield wall defense!" Artillery and muskets are a light and heavy weapon that can be perfectly matched to withstand the impact of the opposing side! Everyone, take up your broadswords, and if an enemy rushes in, we'll cut them to the point of pate! ”

Under the command of Xiao Yao, the soldiers of the forward brigade quickly completed the arrangement of the formation, formed an impermeable circle, and then behind the shield wall, stretched out various weapons such as artillery muskets and spears, waiting for the other party to rush up!

"Cavalry! Surround their defensive ring and attack each other's shield walls from all sides! Don't be afraid, in order to repay the prince's trust in us, even if you die, you have to die on the charge! Use our bodies to smash into the opponent's shield wall, knock out a hole for the teammates behind us, and let them rush in and slash Xiao Yao! The newly promoted cavalry commander shouted.

Then the more than 9,000 cavalry horses quickly surrounded the forward brigade, which was now less than 3,000 rao, and then immediately launched a lifeless charge against the forward brigade, just like just now, exchanging their own lives for the opportunity to break through the defense line of their comrades.

"All on alert! The enemy has charged! After two volleys from the artillery and musket teams, fire freely, but my requirement is that every bullet kills an enemy! Xiao Yao shouted loudly.

Bang bang bang! Artillery, muskets were constantly fired, and the charging cavalry kept falling, but the advantage of the crowd tactics was soon reflected, and some cavalry had already made a hole for him at the cost of the lives of his teammates in front, so that he could ride his horse to break through the defense of the shield wall spear and rush into the position of the forward battalion, and then he was greeted with a slash of a big sword!

However, there are more and more Qi cavalry rushing in, because with less and less gunpowder, nearly half of the artillery has used up all the ammunition, so without the bombardment of artillery, these cavalry can bravely rush forward to storm the shield wall and break through the defense, and then those artillery can only draw their broadswords, stand behind the spearmen, wait for the enemy to rush in, and then start a white-knuckle battle!

"Kill! Let them have no return! Kill! Xiao Yao picked up the revolver, aimed at a cavalry of the Qi army who had just broken through the defense line, and then rode his horse to jump, ready to leap over the shield wall and rush into the position, raised his hand is a shot, and then the war horse landed, and the cavalry had already been shot in the center of his eyebrows and fell to the ground.

Both sides were inseparable, and the suicidal charge of the Qi cavalry caused many soldiers to die under the artillery and muskets, but also allowed some cavalry to break through the shield wall and fight with the forward battalion soldiers behind the shield wall, and then many people on both sides died in battle! This made Xiao Yao look anxious, but he was at a loss.

And the cavalry commander saw that his brothers either died in the charge, or after breaking through, they were killed by the sword and hacked to death, and he was also anxious and helpless! But he still ordered the whole army to continue to attack, after all, he also issued a military order to Gao Changgong and never took a step back!

At this time, one of his subordinates reported to him that Gao Changgong had already led the main force and was about to arrive, which made him immediately jump up with excitement and shout loudly: "Brothers, the prince will lead the main force to arrive!" We're going to storm them up and trap them here! ”

When the people of the cavalry team heard that the god of war Gao Changgong had arrived, it was as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and their morale suddenly rose, and they immediately rode their horses forward bravely, and rushed to the shield wall of the forward brigade without any regression!

Xiao Yao also heard the news that Gao Changgong was about to arrive, and he couldn't help but panic when he had always been calm: Now just the impact of these cavalry is enough to choke him, if you add Gao Changgong's 20,000 main forces, and then there will be another impact of the whole army, I believe that my less than 3,000 rao forward brigade will become history!

The situation is getting more and more critical, the enemy Rao cavalry continues to charge the forward brigade in a crazy way, and the forward brigade is also pressed so that there is no way to break through, time passes minute by minute, and the large army of the tall and long power leader finally appears not far away, the entire forward brigade has been surrounded to death, and the other party's reinforcements have arrived, and now Xiao Yao has no chance to escape!

Suddenly, Xiao Yao saw that the cavalry team that was attacking him from the west was attacked from behind, and then became panicked, the cavalry fled in all directions, it turned out that there was a cavalry team that arrived at the scene faster than Gao Changgong, it was the cavalry battalion led by Huang Wenyuan!

The timely appearance of the cavalry battalion led by Huang Wenyuan made Xiao Yao also experience the excitement of Li Nong just now! Moreover, the sneak attack of the cavalry battalion in the back finally made a gap appear in the west of this encirclement!

"Commander, rush out! Hurry up and break through with everyone! Huang Wenyuan shouted at Xiao Yao.

How could Huang Wenyuan suddenly appear here? Didn't he go to Linying County to save Xiao Moke? Is it that he has already rescued his stepfather? But I don't see my father-in-law now? And Huang Wenyuan's cavalry battalion is also half missing! Although there were a lot of questions in his heart, it was too late to ask now, Xiao Yao immediately led the besieged people to quickly rush out of this gap!

At this time, the cavalry commander who found that Xiao Yao had broken through the encirclement immediately led other cavalry to rush over to intercept it, and Huang Wenyuan also immediately led the cavalry battalion to block it, and the two sides fought together!

"The musket battalion was left behind with the cavalry battalion to take charge of the break! The others follow me and retreat westward! Xiao Yao shouted, and then quickly fled west with the group of infantry from the artillery battalion!

It's just that the reality is cruel, Xiao Yao and they didn't run far, Gao Changgong's main force had already rushed over, and the current musket battalion and cavalry battalion combined were less than 2,000 people, and they couldn't resist the impact of Gao Changgong's 20,000 infantry, so they couldn't resist it soon, so they quickly withdrew from the battle and chased Xiao Yao and them.

Seeing that the troops had also returned, Xiao Yao knew that the pursuers would soon catch up again, and then looked at the group of forward battalion soldiers who had been running behind him, all of them were looking at themselves in confusion, Xiao Yao also knew that if they left these soldiers behind at this time and ran away alone, they would definitely lose the confidence to continue to flee for their lives, and then they would be caught up and killed by the enemy!

So he pointed to a hill next to it that was not connected to the surrounding area, and decisively ordered: "This mountain is densely wooded, easy to defend and difficult to attack, everyone immediately follow the mountain and wait for help!" ”

Gao Changgong, who was leading the army to chase closely behind, saw that Xiao Yao did not continue to escape, but climbed a hill with the entire forward brigade, and couldn't help but sneer: "Xiao Shilang, Xiao Shilang, why are you so reluctant to let go of your subordinates?" You could have taken advantage of the opportunity for someone to help you break off, leave these burdens behind, and then run away by yourself! Now with this group of remnants, running up such a lonely mountain, and no one comes to save you, isn't this equivalent to being captured? ”

"Lord Wang, why don't you let me bring an elite army, storm the mountain, and then capture Xiao Yao alive and present it to the prince!" Wei Xiangyuan saw that Xiao Yao had entered a desperate situation, and he was also excited. When he blew up the ammunition of the artillery battalion, and then took advantage of the chaos to return to the base camp of the Qi army with Zhang Dabao, of course he wanted to continue to make another great contribution!

"No need! Xiao Yao Although they are now in the place of death, they have not yet fallen into despair, if they attack at this time, I am afraid it will arouse their determination to fight to the death! Moreover, Xiao Yao has a lot of tricks and various means, I don't know what tricks he will use to make people unguardable, even if we win them, we will definitely suffer heavy casualties! Today, we have suffered enough casualties, 10,000 cavalry, but they have killed only more than 5,000 people, and we have already killed and wounded many soldiers when besieging the artillery battalion! Now that Xiao Yao is like a turtle in an urn, then let's not make any more senseless losses! And now it's late, everyone has fought fiercely, and they are also very tired, now we will first surround this lonely mountain, there is no food or drink on the mountain, I believe that it will not be long before they will naturally come down the mountain and surrender to us! Gao Changgong sneered.

"The prince's clever calculation actually forced Xiao Yao and his terrifying infantry battalion into such a desperate situation, he is really the god of war in the hearts of our Great Qi soldiers!" The big victory was in sight, and Wei Xiangyuan also patted Gao Changgong's ass.

"Although they are now trapped in the mountains, we still can't take it lightly, we must strengthen the guards, and we must not let them escape! Also, Xiao Yao has a unique skill, we must capture him alive! Gao Changgong commanded.

"Yes, my lord! The subordinates immediately sent an order now, and Xiao Yao must be captured alive! Wei Xiangyuan commanded.
