Chapter 66: Breaking the Enemy in One Blow

With more than 300 Blood Moon Killers, their deterrent power should definitely not be underestimated.

Wang Qi saw that Li Jiancheng was about to move, so he admonished: "General, there must be many masters among the Blood Moon Killers of this scale, and the top priority of our army is to rush to Pingyao, and it is not appropriate to entangle with the Blood Moon Killers here." ”

"What does Uncle Brother mean...... Rush over. ”

"Although the Blood Moon Killers are numerous, almost twice as many as our troops, if you want to annihilate them, you will have to go through a fierce battle, which is really not advisable. However, the other side only had eighty or ninety cavalry, and there were no fortifications, and our troops were all cavalry, so it was not difficult to rush through. ”

Afterwards, Wang Qi reminded, "Besides, our purpose is not to annihilate the Blood Moon Killer. ”

"But ......"

Li Jiancheng hesitantly glanced sideways at Sima Jiu, only to see Sima Jiu glaring at the Blood Moon Killer opposite.

After a few breaths, Sima Jiu pretended to be calm and said, "General Li, don't worry, I will focus on the overall situation and obey your orders." ”

Li Jiancheng bowed slightly, and then, he raised his long sword, pointed directly at the opposite Blood Moon Killer, and ordered: "The whole army obeys the order, assaults the enemy, and passes quickly." ”

After finishing speaking, Li Jiancheng drove his horse and led the cavalry team to attack the Blood Moon Killer.

The sergeant in the front row of the cavalry lay down his spear, and the soldiers behind him were armed with crossbows.

Almost at the same time, the Blood Moon Killer's cavalry also launched a counterattack against Li Jiancheng's cavalry team, which was not armed with armor spears and swords, but only swords.

The speed of the cavalry on both sides was very fast, and in the blink of an eye, the two were only more than sixty meters apart.

At this time, the crossbow archers in Li Jiancheng's cavalry team were ready to fire crossbow arrows at the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.

The cavalry team is equipped with repeaters, and its arrow magazine is equipped with ten crossbow arrows, which can fire ten crossbow arrows in a very short time.

When Sima Jiu was in the Heyin camp, he personally tested the crossbow equipped by the cavalry team, which was small and exquisite, and its crossbow arrows had a range of up to 100 meters, which was very powerful.

Perhaps, such a repeater crossbow is too backward for the army of the new century equipped with automatic thermal weapons, but for the army of the Sui Dynasty, it is an indispensable medium and long-range killing weapon.

A well-trained crossbow archer can accurately shoot at a target thirty or forty meters away at high speeds.

If a salvo of crossbow archers of tens of meters is formed, a dense rain of arrows can be formed, covering the opponent.

Sima Jiu believes that no one wants to face an overwhelming rain of arrows without protection.

At this time, almost everyone in Li Jiancheng's cavalry team was equipped with such crossbow arrows.

Although not all cavalry can use repeater fire at the same time, as long as dozens of people use crossbow arrows to shoot, the dense rain of arrows formed by it is still terrifying.

"Shoot!"

With Yang Wengan's order, the crossbow archers in the second platoon of the cavalry team began to fire crossbow arrows at the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.

For a moment, a dense stream of crossbow arrows pierced the air and whistled towards the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.

After the crossbow archer in the second row finished firing the crossbow arrows, he quickly put away the repeaters, leveled his spears, and continued to charge forward.

At the same time, the cavalry of the third platoon also began to fire crossbow arrows.

Most of the Blood Moon Killers are not ordinary people, and every Blood Moon Killer has left a name on the rivers and lakes before joining the Blood Moon Killer Group.

In terms of individual strength alone, the sergeants of the cavalry team are no match for the Blood Moon Killer at all.

However, in military combat, individual strength is not the key to determining the battlefield situation.

logistical support, weapons and equipment, tactical literacy, orders and prohibitions, organization and cooperation...... And so on, these key points that determine the situation on the battlefield, most of the Blood Moon Killers do not have.

Soon, with a series of wails and neighing horses, nearly half of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment's cavalry had been shot before they could engage in close combat with the cavalry.

A distance of fifty or sixty meters, for a cavalry, is instantaneous.

After paying half of the casualties, the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer finally approached the cavalry.

However, the melee they had hoped for did not happen.

The cavalry's dense pikes flattened the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.

An inch long, an inch strong.

Compared with the spears of more than three meters in the cavalry team and the swords in the hands of the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment, the difference in length is not half a star.

The cavalry team's dense spears made most of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment cavalry have no chance to get close at all, and they are stabbed under their horses one after another.

Of those, only a handful of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment's cavalry were able to storm the cavalry, but their good fortune came to an end.

Under the longing attack of the cavalry, they died one after another.

The cavalry team that attacked at full speed quickly wiped out the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment.

With just one impact, the Blood Moon Killer Regiment cavalry ceased to exist.

With a single blow, the cavalry team broke through the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment and continued to attack the Blood Moon Killer crowd forward.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, the earth shakes the mountains.

Two hundred heavily armed cavalry charged at high speed, and the momentum was terrifying.

Among the Blood Moon Killer crowd, many people were already frightened and subconsciously retreated.

More than eighty cavalrymen were wiped out by the opponent's fingers, and they did not think that they were capable of blocking such a ferocious onslaught of the opponent.

Just when the cavalry team was only more than twenty meters away from the Blood Moon Killer crowd, Yang Wengan ordered: "Five columns to attack." ”

Soon, the cavalry team that was approaching the crowd of Blood Moon Killers at high speed gradually formed five wedge-shaped columns.

Sima Jiu joined the central column nearby, and with cavalry all around him, it was almost impossible for him to fight the Blood Moon Killer.

"General Wang Meng: General Ben is very satisfied with Yang Wengan's on-the-spot command ability."

"Group leader Sima Jiu: The tactical cooperation of the cavalry team, this group leader is also very satisfied."

"General Wang Meng: Group leader, it is rare for you and me to have the same opinion."

"Swordsman Jing Ke: I don't understand the matter of the military formation, and I still hope for the general's guidance."

"General Wang Meng: Previously, the cavalry team used a flat push method to wipe out the cavalry of the Blood Moon Killer Regiment in one fell swoop. Subsequently, the cavalry took advantage of the situation to continue the attack, and organized the cavalry into five wedge columns to attack. ”

"Swordsman Jing Ke: So what?"

"General Wang Meng: The Blood Moon Killer is concentrated, and the flat push is not only easy to cause the scattering of your own impact formation, but also may lead to a lack of stamina, and the impact force is gradually consumed.

"General Wang Meng: That's why Yang Wengan ordered the cavalry to be organized into five wedge-shaped columns, so as to ensure that the impact of the cavalry can be brought into full play."

"General Wang Meng: It is not easy to change the formation in battle, but I didn't expect the cavalry team to be successfully completed, which really made the general's eyes shine."

"General Wang Meng: If it weren't for the sergeant's extremely high tactical literacy, he would never have been able to do this."

"Swordsman Jing Ke: The general is worthy of being a master of soldiers, and he has a unique vision."

"General Wang Meng: Haha! If you want to say that, I'll reluctantly accept it. ”

......

Like five unstoppable monsters, the five wedge-shaped columns rushed straight into the crowd of Blood Moon Killers, as if they were in a no-man's land, and wherever they passed, the Blood Moon Killers who could not dodge were killed one after another.

The sergeants at the front of the column held guns to kill the Blood Moon Killer, and the sergeants behind them, some with crossbows, some threw their spears, drew their swords and slashed.

Their combination of short-range and ranged attacks confuses the Blood Moon Slayer crowd.

However, there is no shortage of Blood Moon Slayers, who attack the cavalry columns from time to time to cause trouble.
