Chapter 198: The Battle on the Riverside (Part I)

The scribe surnamed Fang nodded in agreement, "As long as they are in the river, we can't help them." Now we can only hope that the second master on the other side of the strait will find a way! ”

The army continues to advance. Suddenly, the scribe surnamed Fang pointed to the tidal flat in front of him and shouted, "Three masters, look!"

Shan Xiongxin also discovered the anomaly of the tidal flats ahead, "There are many footprints but not messy, this should be an elite army, it seems that they did not have a landing, but a part of the personnel landed on the shore!" ”

As the war horse marched slowly, the marks on the tidal flat became clearer and clearer!

"There are still horseshoe prints on the ground, it seems that it should be an elite cavalry team that has landed!" The scribe surnamed Fang frowned a little and asked, "Three masters, who are the enemy troops this time, and why did the big boss order to attack them?"

"Scout news, the fleet is flying the imperial flag, the name is unknown, and the big boss wants to snatch their warship!"

Shan Xiongxin frowned and replied, looking at the woods on the right side in a blink of an eye, his heart moved, and then he ordered loudly: "The whole army is on alert!"

At this moment, Wei Chigong led 800 cavalry to rush out of the forest, and the soldiers were all holding longbows and arrows, shouting all the way to the Wagang army on the riverbank!

"The spear and shield men are lined up on the right side to defend, and the archers are ready to shoot with arrows!" Shan Xiongxin didn't have any panic and gave orders calmly!

This well-trained Wagang army, the soldiers moved in response to the order, quickly staggered and changed positions, and when the officers and soldiers of the Allied Army were still hundreds of steps away, they had already built several gun and shield defense lines, Shan Xiongxin suddenly felt a big decision!

Wooden shield defense, spear attack, wooden shield can be used to slow down the speed of the incoming cavalry, temporarily resist the high-speed impact of the cavalry team, and the spear can take the opportunity to stretch out from the shield eye to attack the incoming cavalry horse soldiers, this kind of spear shield defense line can be said to be one of the best ways to deal with the cavalry impact!

Wei Chigong secretly sneered, continued to ride his horse to kill first, and galloped all the way, until the Wagang army was a hundred steps away, and the sharp arrow in his hand immediately came out of the string, and at the same time let out a loud shout from his mouth, "Shoot!" ”

The officers and men of the Allied Army were ordered to release arrows, and more than 800 sharp arrows were shot out in an instant, forming a net of arrows of dozens of zhang in the air, and shooting towards the officers and soldiers of the Wagang Army!

Shan Xiongxin was also waiting for the opportunity to order the archers to release their arrows, but unfortunately, the Allied soldiers had already launched a sharp arrow attack before they could enter the range of the Wagang army's arrows with the range of range brought by their speed!

Sharp arrows whizzed up and down. All the shield soldiers of the Wagang Army had been moved to the front to defend themselves, but the arrows passed through their spear and shield battle formations, and in the blink of an eye, they shot into the rear formation.

The faces of the soldiers of the Wagang Army changed dramatically in an instant, and they waved the weapons in their hands to block, and the sharp arrows came at high speed, straight down, and the soldiers who had no time to block were instantly hit by the arrows and fell to the ground, and the miserable howl sounded immediately, echoing over the riverside!

"Shoot!"

Before Shan Xiongxin had time to feel heartache, Wei Chigong shouted again, and an arrow net of the same size appeared out of thin air again and roared away.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Chigong raised the hard bow in his hand and waved it left and right, and loudly reprimanded, "The whole army pauses, turn around and retreat three miles!" ”

The order was forbidden, and the eight hundred Allied soldiers stopped in response, turned their horses' heads in an instant, and galloped backwards!

The enemy only fired two rounds of sharp arrows in a row, and he had already turned around and retreated outside the range, Shan Xiong was confident and hated, but there was nothing he could do!

"Three masters, they turned around again!" The scribe surnamed Fang frowned and reminded, "It seems that the enemy generals have made up their minds to continue to attack with arrows!" ”

Looking at the cavalry of the Allied Army, who had turned around in the distance and was sorting out the team, preparing to attack again, and looked back at the cavalry team behind him, Shan Xiongxin's face was very gloomy, he groaned for a moment, and said sharply: "All the cavalry stepped forward and prepared to attack the enemy!"

Five hundred cavalry moved instantly, quickly urging their horses to cross the infantry battle formation, lined up in front of the spear and shield soldiers, and were ready to sprint and attack the Allied soldiers on the opposite side!

The officers and men of the Allied Army were not affected, Wei Chigong paused for a few words, and then led the cavalry soldiers to urge the horses forward!

The Allied soldiers once again slaughtered at high speed, armed with bows and arrows, and advanced in the same way as the previous attack!

"Cavalry attack!" This time, Shan Xiongxin did not hesitate any longer, and ordered sharply!

Five hundred Wagang cavalry quickly urged their horses forward, and they also armed with bows and arrows, and their speed became faster and faster, all the way to the Allied soldiers at high speed!

Three miles away, two high-speed hedging cavalry, in the blink of an eye, the two were separated by less than five hundred steps!

At this moment, the Allied soldiers pulled the horse ropes, and the eight hundred cavalry soldiers changed the direction of their advance in an instant, and rushed towards the river beach on the right!

The 500 Wagang army was surprised, and the leading generals couldn't react for a while, and continued to lead the army forward!

Suddenly, the eight hundred Allied troops changed direction again, and they directly bypassed the spear and shield soldiers in front of the Wagang Army, and rushed towards the infantry team of the Wagang Army in the rear!

The attack method is no different from the previous time, there is no obstacle of the gun and shield array, and there is no threat of the bow and arrow array, the Allied soldiers ran all the way at high speed, firing three rounds of sharp arrows within the range, and then hung the bow and held the soldiers, replaced them with spears and spears, and continued to rush towards the Wagang Army infantry behind!

Eight hundred soldiers were divided into three teams in an instant, forming three cone-shaped battle formations, and went straight through the Wagang Army formation! However, instead of attacking directly into the middle of the enemy troops, they chose a small diagonal angle to pierce through.

They went on a rampage all the way, stabbing with spears and spears, quickly harvesting the lives of the soldiers of the Wagang Army, under the battle array, blood and flesh were splashed, limbs were mutilated, and all the enemies who stood in the way were crushed!

By the time the cavalry of the 500 Wagang Army turned around and chased after them, the officers and men of the Allied Army had already passed through and walked away, leaving only three bloody hell passages!

In the two rounds of sharp attacks by the officers and men of the Allied Army, more than 1,500 officers and men of the Wagang Army have been killed or wounded.

On the battlefield, the wounded and undead officers and soldiers of the Wagang Army were howling miserably, seeping more and more like the other, constantly echoing over the riverside.

Shan Xiongxin's face was gloomy, his face was very ugly, looking at the tragic scene in front of him, he had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, his five thousand elite soldiers were completely helpless against the enemy's eight hundred cavalry!

"Three masters, let's retreat first! With such an attack, the enemy only needs to come twice more, and our soldiers will be defeated! The scribe surnamed Fang reminded worriedly.

If more than half of the army is killed or wounded, the soldiers will easily collapse the camp, which is a military common sense!

Shan Xiongxin nodded, the heart of his own army was taken away, according to the enemy's attack intensity, it is indeed only necessary to have two more rounds of attacks, and his own soldiers may collapse without a fight and be completely defeated!

Is the overlord of the late Sui Dynasty good-looking?
