Chapter 623: Wheel Array
The overwhelming iron horses came like dark clouds, the ground trembled, and people seemed to be standing on a boat, rising and falling with the dense swells!
The yellow sand is all over the sky, and the impact of tens of thousands of people is already deafening just by the neighing of those horses, and the sound of horses' hooves like thunder, Rao is Xuan soldiers already know each other's strength, but it also makes people tremble!
However, there was a look of excitement on the face of Man Cang on the war horse, and the two copper bell eyes looked at the yellow sand in front of him without blinking, and opened his mouth to shout to an adjutant general behind him: "Man Gu, prepare for Qilin smoke!"
The lieutenant general is Mancang's younger brother Mangu, and the brothers are almost identical in terms of appearance, height, figure, and voice, and they are equally bold, but compared to his brother Mancang, his younger brother Mangu has more words and more ghost ideas!
"Brother, get ready, give the order!" Mangu looked urgent, clutching the bow in his hand. The bow is full, the arrows are wound, the enemy has rushed to 800 paces, and will soon be within range!
The sound of iron hooves became louder and louder, and soon suppressed the sound of everyone's speech, everyone also closed their mouths, and the flag soldiers around Mancang raised the yellow order flag in their hands high, seeing that Hu Xiao's cavalry had rushed to within five hundred steps, and with Mancang's heavy nod, the yellow order flag was raised hard!
"Whoosh!" Countless arrows shot out at Hu Xiao's cavalry, but this time they were not shot at a 45-degree angle to the sky, but flat!
They completely attached their upper body to the horse's back, and used the horse's body to block the arrows, which can minimize the probability of people and horses being hit by arrows, and it is also the most common way for Hu Xiao's cavalry to deal with arrows!
It's just that what I didn't expect was that this time the Xuan army was not shooting them at all, because not only was it so far away from them, but it couldn't wait to send arrows, and even the arrows didn't have an iron arrowhead, but were wrapped in a layer of oilcloth, and at the end of the arrow was a baby fist-sized fish bladder!
Stupid people from the Central Plains! To deal with the light cavalry, you will actually think of using rockets, this is all wasteland, there is not even much grass, what use will these rockets be! Before the fire burns, we have already rushed in front of you!
The wolf lord who led the team showed disdain and a cruel smile on his face, picked up the bow and arrow in his hand, and pulled out the scimitar on his waist with a "swish"! With his movements, all the Hu Xiao cavalry beside him drew out their shiny scimitars, but now they suddenly couldn't see the road!
The arrow that fell in front of it did not burn, but emitted a large amount of smoke! The arrow was smeared with white phosphorus, and when it was burned in the wind, it ignited the skin of the swim bladder at the end of the arrow, and in it was a large amount of dried seaweed, and dried wood ash, and some chili powder!
These things are not easy to extinguish even if you step on them, but if you let them burn, they will not form a fire, and there is only one effect, that is, desperately releasing pungent smoke!
Soon, Hu Xiao's cavalry rushed into the smoke by itself, and the entire battlefield was filled with yellow smoke that made people sneeze and burst into tears!
Hu Xiao's war horse, which was choked by the smoke and couldn't open his eyes at all, was tripped and fell three hundred steps away from Xuanbing! People and horses couldn't see what was in front of them, so they couldn't avoid the obstacles under their feet, and the war horse stepped on the four hooves and stepped on the soft corpse, some of them were lucky, and they could still stand up, but some of them were weak and slippery, and they fell heavily to the ground!
These corpses are all the corpses left over from the last round of impact on Hu Xiao's cavalry! I didn't expect that at this moment, the Xuan Army actually used it as a buffer belt, with the help of the cover of Qilin smoke, to reduce the impact speed of Hu Xiao's cavalry!
I have to say that their method is very effective, tens of thousands of Hu Xiao's army were covered in smoke, their faces were choked with tears or snot, even the horses were sneezing constantly, looking very embarrassed, and even the speed of the impact became slowed down!
However, these unicorn smoke is not poisonous smoke, although it is uncomfortable, it will not cause people's lives! And with the wind, the unicorn smoke is drifting towards the rear of Hu Xiao's army, and the people in front have already rushed out!
Hu Xiao, who led the charge this time, was the Jinfeng wolf lord, who had already rushed out of the smoke at this moment, and one person and one horse were constantly shaking their heads, fortunately, people were more flexible than horses, and they could rub their eyes with their hands, but when he opened his eyes, he was stunned, because in front of him, a large area of Xuanjun had rushed over, wearing a black veil on his head, and only a pair of eyes were showing on his face!
The strangulation began! One by one, the spears picked off the Hu Xiao cavalry who rushed out of the smoke, and fell heavily to the ground, and before they could get up, they were strangled to death by the spears!
The Golden Peak Wolf Lord had a premonition that something was wrong, and he screamed in his mouth, commanding a roundabout attack on his subordinates!
His own people have just come out of the thick smoke, and they don't have an advantage in fighting with these Central Plains cavalry, and the battle with the Tiger Courage Army made him see the weakness of the Central Plains military formation, as long as he attacks from the flank, he can break through their military formations and kill these Central Plains people!
Therefore, the Golden Peak Wolf Lord immediately ordered his soldiers to attack the flank of the Central Plains people, and he believed that it was the weak point of all the Central Plains soldiers!
But this time, they were disappointed, because what they encountered was the wheel formation of the Xuan army! This wheel formation is a circle formation, one person attacking is equal to 100 people attacking, and attacking one person is equal to 100 people abusing one person!
Those Hu Xiao cavalry just wanted to use their war horses to rush into the wheel array of the Xuan army, but what was waiting for them was a piece of rotating spear tips! The wheels rolled, and the spears kept barking at the Hu Xiao cavalry on the horse, Hu Xiao dodged a spear, but couldn't avoid the remaining nearly 100!
The Xuanjun army all walked away with a spear, and the footsteps moved, and the people behind made up for it and pulled another spear, and so on, and so on! Their spears were much shorter than those of the Tiger Courage, and they could not hit the chest of Hu Xiao's cavalry on horseback, so they stabbed all the body of the horse and the legs of people!
Hu Xiao's cavalry couldn't fight back, because on both sides of each big wheel, there were two cavalry teams of the Xuan Army, sweeping the formation beside them, protecting the big wheels and rushing into the camp of Hu Xiao's cavalry!
The wolf lord of Jinfeng has never had such a headache in his life to fight with the people of the Central Plains! There are enemies on this horse, and there are enemies below! The big circles are like spiky flywheels, throwing countless horse spurs to the ground, and the soldiers on the horses are also stabbed to death by random spears! At the same time, spears stabbed out of the hands of the Central Plains cavalry, making Hu Xiao's cavalry take care of the top, but not the bottom!
More and more Hu Xiao cavalry rushed out of the smoke, and the wheel formation of the Xuan army was also activated, strangling Hu Xiao's cavalry! This wheel formation is not a straight line, but has a front and a back, just like two wheels alternately, so that it will not be restricted by the terrain of a phalanx like the Tiger Courage Army.
And this kind of wheel array is taking turns against the enemy, it seems that one person is attacking, but in fact it is run over by the whole wheel, those Hu Xiao people just dodged a spear, and before they could react, they were dazzled by the tips of the spears one after another, and they didn't know who they were stabbed to death by when they were dying!
Under this kind of upper and lower attack, those Hu Xiao people finally thought of a way to deal with the wheel array after paying tens of thousands of corpses, that is, to concentrate all their strength on dealing with the spears of the Central Plains cavalry, and ignore the attacks below!
This is because the top is a really deadly attack, and the big deal below is to be injured and fall from a horse! The soldiers of the Central Plains basically used spears or spears to deal with Hu Xiao's cavalry, and Hu Xiao people are indeed suitable for horse combat, but they are more suitable for hand-to-hand combat!
The short and thin Central Plains people are not Hu Xiaoren's opponents at all in hand-to-hand combat, they don't have the weapons at hand, and they don't have the strength of Hu Xiaoren!
Although he may be injured because of this, Hu Xiao is a fierce person, as long as his head continues, he can continue to fight with the enemy, and he never admits defeat easily, what is this small injury!
A large number of Hu Xiao war horses were stabbed by the wheel array of the Xuan army and fell to the ground, and the Hu Xiao soldiers fell from their horses one after another, but they also obeyed their wishes, and raised the scimitars in their hands with a cruel smile, and rushed towards the Central Plains soldiers!
However, what they are facing is not the Tiger Army, but the Xuan Army! The most terrifying thing about the Xuan Army is not how strong their combat strength is, but how inclusive they are! This army is tolerant of all rivers, and as long as it is for the original intention of saving the people of the world, it is easy to join them!
What's more, the Xuanjun belongs to all the soldiers, and as long as they have a skill, they can become everyone's master! And the fifth school battalion of the Qilin Corps is not the Xuanspear Formation and the Wheel Formation, but the nunchucks!
Seeing that the enemy had dismounted, the soldiers in the wheel formation suddenly dispersed, forming a small formation of three people, and the spear in his hand seemed to be broken, suddenly shortened to more than two feet long, and turned into an iron rod!
"Ding Ding Ding!" The piercing sound of gold and iron continued, and Hu Xiaoren's scimitar was flicked away, and to their surprise, the weapon in the hand of the Xuan army was also cut in two!
Useless things! No weapons, see how you fight! Hu Xiao's soldiers all looked ecstatic, raised their scimitars and rushed up again, and before they could get close, a silver light slashed from their heads!
Almost subconsciously, some Hu Xiao soldiers raised their knives, but with a "ding", the knife seemed to be cut on the iron chain, and they couldn't use their strength, and the falling object on the top of their heads fell more urgently, and "poof!" knocked on their heads, directly smashing their heads open!
Some were lucky enough to avoid their heads, and the object landed on their shoulders, and they heard a "click", which directly shattered their shoulder blades, smashing their bodies down, and the scimitar in their hands fell to the ground!
What kind of strange weapon is this! Soldier Hu Xiao could only see the weapon in Xuan Bing's hand clearly at this moment. The long spear has become shorter, and broken into two, but the middle is tied with an iron chain, with the dazzling dance of the Xuan army, the original polished very smooth spear at this moment exudes a palpitating cold light, in the hands of the Xuan army danced faster and faster, constantly disappearing under their armpits and shoulders, which is unguardable!
For the first time, the Golden Peak Wolf Lord felt timid, there was no trace of such a weapon at all, how could he fight?
