Chapter 98: Lao Tzu has the final say
Unlike ordinary soldiers who are afraid of losing most of their combat power due to the fear of cavalry, the soldiers of the death battalion, after using dead horses as obstacles, dare to fight, and with the cooperation of their companions, they can cause a certain amount of lethality to the knights on the horses.
For this reason, after killing and wounding 20 soldiers of the death battalion, the enemy cavalry itself lost more than a dozen people, and the remaining 60 or so cavalry were temporarily held back by a large group of people from the death battalion, and they did not dare to charge in the direction of the cart without running speed.
But it is true that the means of a large detachment of the death battalion have almost been exhausted, and their destruction is almost inevitable.
This is extremely worrying, but there is nothing to be done.
And in Zhang Jingtao's view, this is already a good situation.
If the enemy cavalry has enough patience to gather all the more than 100 horsemen of the Ghost Coin Knights at this moment, and re-use the new tactics, first destroy the wheels of the carriage, then kill the soldiers who have no chariot formation, and finally gnaw the carriage, then the entire death battalion will be in danger.
Fortunately, most greedy robbers would not do such a thing as destroying the wheels of the carriage, otherwise, they would not have been able to take anything with them.
It's almost a dead end.
Looking at Wang Ning again, Wang Ninggen would not have been able to command, obviously there were nine hundred brave foot soldiers of the death battalion available, which was by no means comparable to ordinary foot soldiers, and at worst it should be able to hold back the enemy, only the first few teams needed to defend in situ, and the last few teams could assemble and set up formations, so that two defenses could be formed.
Realize Wei Shuang's previous disdain for the enemy.
But Wang Ning was accustomed to the siege of squad fights, and his command was to let the people behind come forward, and the people who shot arrows in front moved to both sides of the road to get out of the way!
As a result, in the movement of personnel, the positions are gone, where can the impact of the cavalry be blocked?
was killed by a rush, and more than 40 people died in the current two brigades, and even he himself was fleeing.
At this moment, Wang Ning had been caught up by a knight, and when he turned around, Wang Ning hadn't seen the knight behind him clearly, but when his head turned halfway, he first saw Zhang Zheng in the distance looking at him with a look of pity, completely grieving for him.
At least Wang Ning thinks so, but he doesn't know that Zhang Jingtao is just lamenting that the soldiers here will be defeated miserably, and he doesn't know how many people will die.
Wang Ning almost died of anger, and then in the next second, he couldn't get angry anymore, because when he continued to look at the enemy horse, he saw that the pursuing enemy horse was using a spear as a javelin and stabbed him in the back.
Wang Ning wanted to dodge, but where could he dodge, he screamed and lay down, and when the spear was pulled away from his back, he was already dead.
After Zhang Jingtao saw this scene, he sneered in his heart, wanting to rely on this command to kill himself, but unfortunately, is the army so easy to command?
The conductor is dead, right?
But he wasn't cool either, but he was slightly relieved by the lack of a dangerous enemy.
And, after just this glance, Zhang Jingtao didn't have the time to care about that side, because Wei Shuang came over.
And a large group of soldiers in the death battalion can't give up resistance just because the main general is gone, that is to send them to death, and their remaining nearly twenty people can only form a formation to support them, but fortunately, there are many horse corpses on the ground as obstacles, which can last for a while.
The big guy goes all the way, at least Wei Shuang won't let you die in vain!
Zhang Jingtao knew that the battlefield orders could not be disobeyed, otherwise, although there was nothing to do at the moment, it would be easy to be caught by others in the future, and besides, although Wei Shuang's approach was ruthless, it was also a good method, so he silently recited it in his heart.
Then he shouted: "The front of the car is backwards, all get on the bus!" Get ready for crossbowshot! ”
After a while, the battlefield became that nearly 800 people fled on the mountain road, and they did not dare to run away, because those who scattered often died first, and if they did not run away, the enemy cavalry behind them would at least be like peeling apples, and they would have to find an opportunity to attack from the edge of the ranks.
For this reason, behind these fleeers, fifty horsemen kept chasing them and killing them.
And after the enemy cavalry did this, the speed slowed down, so behind the three major teams of the ghost coin, there was a five-ride cart of the jade flute brigade running after them, and a few arrows were shot from time to time on the car.
It's a pity that under such a bump, Genben couldn't shoot the enemy.
But Zhang Jingtao felt that he could still seize the opportunity, as long as he chased for a while, he would inevitably catch up with the Third Cavalry Brigade of Ghost Coin, and then, relying on the impact of the chariot and crossbow fire, drive the fifty enemy cavalry, save the infantry, then he would have enough strength to fight with the enemy.
Unexpectedly, before he could give the order, Wei Shuang, who was riding a horse, roared: "All turn around and go east, there are all wildernesses, you can run cars, and you can seek support from the walled city near Handan, retreat!" ”
"Why?" This time, Xiao Meiniang in the car questioned it.
"Because when we were engaged, I heard one of the enemy horsemen who landed on the ground shouting angrily: 'Just wait for the three hundred horsemen to come with you, under the five hundred horsemen, this death camp will be like powder in an instant, Zhuyuan Feng, can't you fucking stop being so crazy?' Wei Shuang said.
And although this enemy cavalry exposed the name of the general of the Ghost Coin Knights, everyone couldn't control it so much, and they were all shocked.
Zhang Jingtao was beside Xiao Meiniang, and seeing that people's hearts were unstable, he hurriedly said: "Even so, we will continue to run along the road we came from, impact the enemy cavalry chasing our infantry, and join the infantry." ”
"Obey orders! In the northeast of here, there is a small forest, and when you enter the woods, the cavalry can only turn into infantry. Wei Shuang said with a blushing face.
"But we're also going to give up the advantage of the formation!" Zhang Jingtao argued.
"The death camp Lao Tzu has the final say! Unless you think that all the people in the Jade Flute Brigade are loyal to you. Wei Shuang sneered.
Zhang Jingtao was speechless, knowing that in this way, it would be equivalent to losing the lives of the more than 800 soldiers, because even if they were forced to be helpless, they might choose to disperse in a hurry, but most of them would still be hunted down and killed, and it was unlikely that they would survive.
Because this is not a simple confrontation between the two armies.
The other party will want to kill the mouth, so naturally the cleaner the kill, the better.
"Wei Shuang is afraid that the enemy will divide us, so only capture him, right?" Xiao Meiniang also said softly beside him.
Zhang Jingtao nodded with a tangled face, and then looked ahead.
The female soldiers had all fallen behind in the infantry, and many of them had stopped knowing that it would be impossible to escape, lest they run completely out of strength and not even make a fight.
Then, a female warrior flew out of her steel shield when an enemy horse approached, but because of the high martial arts skills of the enemy horse, under the prediction, the war horse jumped and avoided it.
For this reason, another female warrior rushed to help her block an enemy spear slash, and then, after the enemy rode away first, this direction was temporarily safeguarded, and the rest of the female warriors gathered towards her with numbness.
