Chapter 541: Charging into the Formation

Hu Lu Chuiyun felt that his formation, in the art of war, was more clever than the formation of the border Sui army, according to the records in the art of war, the three talent formations were both offensive and defensive, and they could deal with the Yanyue formation.

The surrounding generals and captains are also convinced, because he is the grandson of the famous general of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Hu Luguang was a great war achievement, won a hundred battles, and laid a large territory for the Northern Qi Dynasty, shocked the Northern Zhou Dynasty, suppressed the Khitan and other tribes, and used soldiers like a god.

He was born in Jiangmen, and he was familiar with the art of war, so he was naturally respected by the remnants of the Northern Qi Dynasty, and the listed formations were also similar.

"Archer prepare!"

The soldiers of the front team in the middle, holding their longbows, aimed in front of the opponent's military formation, just waiting for the confrontation.

As the commander of the former army, Mai Tiezhu has more than 5,000 cavalry, which is his largest chassis, because this Northern Qi army is mostly infantry, and the cavalry is only more than 2,000, but as a loose horseman, he is responsible for blocking and nuisance.

"Nerd, I haven't fought in actual combat, I don't know the power of the cavalry formation, it's okay, even if I instruct the juniors of Northern Qi in this lesson, but the tuition will definitely have to be paid miserably." Mai Tiezhu thought to himself, turned around, and looked around at the generals and lieutenants.

"Listen to this general, we are the elite soldiers of Young Marshal Luo, responsible for the vanguard task of sweeping the enemy, this battle is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions, break through the enemy formation, defeat the rebel army and thieves, and appease the people." Although Mai Tiecane is a rough man, Luo Zhaoyun did a lot of verbal work with him, asking him to move his mouth more before the battle, say some righteous and awe-inspiring words, improve cohesion, become famous, and have enough courage.

Sure enough, the heart of the army was ignited instantly, the atmosphere was agitated, the blood was boiling, and the three armies shouted: Break the army! Break the army! Break the army!

Bang bang!

The soldiers slammed the ground with their long soldiers and backings, making a trembling sound, the rhythm was distinct, sonorous and powerful, and all the soldiers felt their blood gushing.

"Zhao Duo, Ouyang Yong, Mai Zhongcai, the three of you charge with a cavalry formation, be sure to rush to the phalanx, give me a trip, and insert it into the Chinese army."

"The subordinates have orders!"

In an instant, the general was in place, the order was issued, the cavalry began to move, the first row moved first, holding a round shield in one hand, a spear in one hand, the shield and the spear cooperated, both offensive and defensive, although the attack power will be weakened a few points, but the defense power can be greatly increased.

This is Luo Zhaoyun from the European cavalry, inspired by the cavalry, each cavalry is equipped with a round Teng shield, which can be held in hand or carried by the arm, the spear is placed on the side of the shield, and the whole person hides behind, which is still very effective against the infantry formation.

Because the infantry formation against the cavalry, often use bows, crossbows, arrows, and spears as the means of attack, if the cavalry in the first row and the second row use light shields to resist arrows, reduce casualties, and rush forward at the speed of war horses, it will undoubtedly greatly improve the combat effectiveness.

"Boom—"

The cavalry charges, and the glaive is like a sword!

The first row of 1,000 people rushed towards the enemy phalanx in the arc of the glaive, and just ran out of more than ten steps, the second team of cavalry also moved, but the formation had changed, no longer like the first row was all lined up, but staggered into two groups.

The cavalry of the third and fourth teams is even more in formation, mainly in the formation of car hanging, the interval between the horses is different, leaving a gap between the horses, so that when they launch a charge, they will not crowd each other and trample, but also so that the enemy foot soldiers can dodge between the horses to make way, so as not to block the road to death.

The fifth cavalry team responded to the charge and avoided being outflanked by the enemy.

"Kill!" The Sui army roared, and the horse's hooves thundered, rolling across the earth.

"Shoot the arrows!" The Northern Qi Restoration Army began to shoot from a distance, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, like dark clouds.

Woohoo!

The arrows broke through the air and came quickly, but they were blocked by the round shields of the cavalry, making a banging sound, if it was changed before, many knights must have been shot to the ground.

And this time, after a round of four or five thousand arrows, only two or three hundred people fell off their horses, and the casualty rate was reduced by more than half.

The second group of archers immediately followed and shrouded in, but the cavalry of the first row still did not suffer too many casualties.

The generals of the Northern Qi army and the captains who managed the archers were dumbfounded, realizing that this cavalry seemed to be a little different from the traditional cavalry in the past, not only holding a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, but also wearing an iron sheet on the head of the war horse, in case the bow and arrow were shot at the head of the horse.

"Shooting at the horse's belly, their war horse defense is not comprehensive, that's where the attack is!" The Northern Qi general discovered the flaw and ordered the archers to shoot the front chest and abdomen of the war horse.

This is where the flaw lies, because the cost of fully arming the war horse is too high, and it is impossible for the Luo family army to build a cavalry and war horse full of iron armor in the short term.

The arrows of the third round shot low, and indeed they could hit some of the horses, and they fell to the ground, and the people turned on their backs, and the screams were endless.

However, these fallen knights and mounts also became live targets, and were shot into hedgehogs by low-fired arrows, but the cavalry behind them were not affected, which was the weakness of low-shot.

The cavalry of the second and third teams were brave and fearless, and quickly passed their wounded companions, and rushed to the front of the battle in the blink of an eye.

The scattered cavalry of the Northern Qi army blocked hard, to block the charge of the enemy's iron cavalry, slow down the speed, and unload the opponent's attack power for the infantry behind.

"Soldiers, the opportunity for meritorious service has come, kill-"

Zhao Duo, as the captain of the second team, commanded the cavalry and pressed it directly.

Click, click!

The knight stabbed forward with a spear in his hand, using the inertia of the war horse, and slammed forward, like a torrent of steel, moving forward, and in an instant, the battle was fierce, and the blood flowed like a river.

The cavalry of the two armies took the lead in the confrontation, and the elite and mediocre could be highlighted almost by a single glance.

Puff puff!

The Northern Qi army has not yet fought a big battle, nor is it tightly organized, but it is not like the Sui army, where the three of them form a group, cooperate to kill the enemy, and are invincible.

Mak Zhongcai commanded the third team to keep up with him, and entered the battle, using the cone formation of the car to charge towards the inner layer of the infantry formation.

The tragic war is in full swing.
