"Palace, retreat, such an attack is to make the brothers fearless casualties. It's a pity that we didn't bring catapults, otherwise we would have needed more than a dozen catapults to smash the mountain bandits above. I'm afraid we won't be able to attack like this. The generals around him said beside Zhao Yuankang.

"You want you to say like that? If there is a catapult and a fart? Zhao Yuankang was extremely annoyed and scolded sharply. But he also understood that he had to accept the result of not being able to attack. Zhao Yuankang was finally forced to give the order to stop the attack.

Even if Zhao Yuankang is acquainted, there is no forcible attack by the head iron, otherwise, this iron thistle terrestris is just the first appetizer. You must know that Lin Jue came here to bring two 'swarms of bees'. So far, the Luoyan Valley Firearms Workshop has only built eight swarms of bees, and Lin Jue, for the sake of safety, ordered to bring two swarm rocket launchers this time. If it weren't for Lin Jue's unwillingness to expose the power of the 'swarm' rocket prematurely, I am afraid that the cavalry led by Zhao Yuankang would become the first soldier and horse to be hit by rocket artillery in history, it would be regarded as an achievement.

Zhao Yuankang ordered the attack to stop, which was actually equivalent to giving up the rescue of the 3,000 cavalry who had already crossed the pass. In the twilight, Zhao Yuankang and the cavalry heard the earth-shattering shouts from the other side of the pass, and they were all frightened and at a loss. They all understood that the 3,000 cavalry would probably have to be explained here.

On the south side of the pass, when the cavalry formation of the ambush stage rushed out, more than 3,000 cavalry rushed down the slope of the pass at a rapid pace, and there was no room to turn back. By the time they understood the situation, the pass was already behind them, and in front of them a soldier and horse had struck out from between the mountain beams in the slanted thorns, and lay in front of them in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Leading this soldier and horse was Lin Jue, Ma Bin and Bai Bing.

The entire blocking plan was finalized yesterday, and last night Lin Jue allocated soldiers and horses, and sent 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Luoyan Army to rush here overnight. Bai Bing and Sun Dayong took the lead in sneaking into the mountains on both sides and killed the officers and soldiers guarding the beacon tower, ensuring that the whereabouts of the brigade would not be exposed when they arrived.

Ambushed in the dense forests on the slopes on both sides of the pass were more than 1,000 soldiers and horses of the personal guard battalion led by Sun Dayong, including the most elite firearms battalion. This is to be able to break through the opponent's formation in one fell swoop and divide the opponent's entire cavalry. Although Lin Jue's appetite is not small, the idea of fighting 10,000 elite cavalry head-on is still too crazy, and Lin Jue doesn't want to do it. The main purpose of this blockade was only to give the invading enemy a dismount and discourage them. The second is to sabotage their plan to attack from the Stone Man Pass. There is no need to eat all of their soldiers, it is enough to let them know that the Falling Goose Army has the strength to fight and that they want to do something.

In fact, even if this battle is not fought, as long as the other party sees the Luoyan Army appearing here, they will understand that the plan has been discovered. Even if there is not a single soldier guarding the Shiren Mountain Pass, they may not dare to enter it wantonly. In the soldiers, this is called the virtual and the real, and it is a high-end psychological warfare.

But Lin Jue obviously refused to let go of this opportunity. Bowangpo is a place he carefully selected, Lin Jue knew that this was the place where Bowang was burned during the Three Kingdoms, and Lin Jue originally wanted to concoct a new era of burning Bowang and leave it for future generations to pass on as a good story. But after looking at the terrain, I had to give up. At this time and then, although I don't know what kind of terrain Bowangpo was in those years, it is obvious that the open pass here is not suitable for fire attack and killing the enemy. However, if the other party knew that his soldiers and horses were hiding in the dense forest, he could force the Luoyan army to come out with fire. It's just that the cavalry of the forbidden army was in a hurry, and Zhao Yuankang definitely didn't have that kind of calculation, so he couldn't imagine that he would encounter the Luoyan army here.

Three thousand cavalry rushed down the pass, and they were at a loss in the face of the Luoyan army that suddenly crossed the road. They didn't know whether to turn back and re-attack the pass or move forward to attack the soldiers and horses of the Luoyan army that were blocking in front.

One of the generals of the palace made the final decision, and he thought that it would be unwise to turn the horse's head and attack the pass, and that the opponent would be flanked by the front and back. The cavalry rushed to the pass, but they could not exert their power. In addition, the palace marshal has begun to attack the pass, and the seven thousand soldiers and horses belonging to the palace marshal will definitely capture the pass soon. And his 3,000 cavalry should have defeated the enemy in front of him before the arrival of the palace commander. This is not only a credit, but also the most reasonable arrangement.

What's more, the men and horses blocking the front looked unthreatening. They didn't even have all the armor, and they all wore them like Hanako. The number of people is also good, about three or four thousand. Three thousand cavalry against three or four thousand infantry, this is simply sent to the door to death, even the most stupid generals will not lose in this battle.

All the big and small leaders agreed to this decision, so at the same time that Zhao Yuankang ordered to attack the pass, the 3,000 cavalry also began to charge the Luoyan army that was blocking in front.

In the twilight, the smoke obscured the only light. The entire cavalry team rushed to the opposite side with an unstoppable momentum like a demon wrapped in a cloud of black mist. To their surprise, the infantry on the opposite side did not panic in the slightest, they were laughing instead. Dozens of paces away, the cavalry in front of him saw the opposing soldier's hand raised and sprinkled a large amount of things on the ground twenty or thirty paces in front of him. Although they knew that something was wrong, they couldn't stop their steps.

Tribulus terrestris, the most insidious means of defending against cavalry, shines in today's battle. The horses neighed, and the cavalry was thrown into the air and fell heavily. In the midst of the smoke and dust, people turned over on their backs, and the ground was full of rolling gourds. After entering the distance of thirty paces, the Luoyan army did not fire arrows or fire with firearms, and the cavalry of the forbidden army was already rolling in front of the formation and screaming, and fell into a piece.

But this was not a slope but a flat ground, and it was extremely dangerous to let the cavalry rush thirty paces in front of the formation. Even if there was an iron thistle sprinkled on the road, it would only cause more than 100 riders in front of them to suffer heavy losses. The huge impact caused the horses and knights to rush out of the blood-stained paths on the gravel road, and the bodies of the people and horses were poked with dense thistles. The tumbling horses and cavalry instead helped the cavalry in the rear to clear the obstacles.

The rear cavalry rushed unharmed on the road cleared by their brothers with their flesh and blood to within ten steps of the Luoyan army. At this distance, it was too late to shoot arrows, and the firearms were all arranged on the pass, only Lin Jue and Bai Bing hit the seven or eight firearms on the bodies of a few Lin family guards to no avail, and it seemed that Lin Jue had no intention of using them at all.

"Spear formation! Rise! Lin Jue's voice sounded loudly, and in an instant, the ground in front of the formation was brushed with dense wooden spears that were long for a long time. Or rather, it wasn't a spear, it was just a sharpened tip of the thick trunk of a teacup, and it was a wooden spear at best. However, the dense and large thousands of wooden spears were erected in front of the formation, and there was still a sense of swords and guns, and the momentum was overwhelming.

The pikemen were a common method of warfare used by infantry to fend off cavalry. When long-range resistance fails, the cavalry charges to the front of the formation, and the last resort is a spear formation. Generally, the power of the ground is borrowed, and the rear end of the spear is pressed against the ground, and the power of the ground is borrowed to meet the charge of the cavalry. This is also one of the formations that cavalry fears the most. A reasonable pike-formation would not only have huge spears and shields in the front row, but also crossbowmen in the back of the formation. Spears resist the enemy, and bows and arrows are shot in the rear, which is definitely a nightmare for cavalry.

This time, Lin Jue wanted to break the enemy cavalry with a spear formation, which was the first time that he had to test the results of his training in actual combat after he had compiled the tactics and tactics into a book and taught them to the soldiers of the Falling Wild Goose Army for many years. After arriving at Bowangpo, Lin Jue announced the matter. If all goes well, when the opponent's formation is cut off, Lin Jue hopes to meet the opponent's cavalry with a spear formation. This is not only to enrich and test the tactics of the Falling Wild Goose Army, but also to let the soldiers and horses of the Falling Wild Goose Army face the might of the cavalry charge, so that they can feel the feeling when they fight with the real army. Only in this way can their fears be dispelled and the soldiers and horses truly tempered.

Lin Jue fully understands the strengths and weaknesses of the Luoyan Army. The cost of the Luoyan Army is uneven. Fighting is their forte, but when it comes to organization and discipline, they are far from being able to compete with a real army. Although he fought many tough battles, most of his opponents were bandits in the mountains, and there were only a handful of officers and soldiers who really fought each other. When officers and soldiers attack the mountain, they also rely on their geographical advantages to block the attack, rather than a real engagement. Lin Jue knew that whether the Luoyan Army could truly become an army required not only arduous training and painstaking teachings, but also that they needed to face a real army on the battlefield and win the battle. After that, they will be truly sublimated and comprehended. Become a real army.

Before the battle, Lin Jue had the prototype of this plan in his heart. When he learned that the other party was an elite cavalry of the forbidden army, Lin Jue was even more determined in this idea. Of course, there was a risk of failure in doing so, so Lin Jue used the Iron Tribulus Array to consume the opponent's strength first. The spear formation is actually a formation to restrain the cavalry, and Lin Jue believes that the danger is not too great. Even if they are broken through the formation, it will only be a few deaths. In war, there is no immortal. Death is often the catalyst for a warrior, a military sublimation. Moreover, Lin Jue believes that even if it is caught in hand-to-hand combat, the Luoyan Army should still not fall behind. In terms of courage and ruthlessness, the Luoyan army will not lose to any soldiers and horses.

So driven by this thought, Lin Jue forbade the long-range blocking of bows and arrows, and let the other party rush to the front of the formation. However, due to the fear that the cavalry charge would be too fierce and the defense line would not be able to withstand the strength of this overwhelming attack, the thistle terrestris array was used as a buffer as a last resort to consume the opponent's forces and ease the opponent's charge. In fact, the thistle array did make the other party's charging cavalry less resolute, which was a subtle psychological feeling that could not be seen on the surface.

The cavalry rushed in, and suddenly the array of spears was so close that there was no way to avoid it, so they could only crash into the forest of spears. Like the tide hitting a reef, the force of the earth cracking is almost unbearable for both sides. The cavalry crashed into the forest of spears, and under the tremendous impact, the spears easily penetrated the bodies of the men and horses, breaking their ribs. The rough barrel of the spear brought out a large splatter of flesh, causing great trauma. As long as you are hit by a spear or penetrate your body, it is basically difficult to survive.
