I saw a winding mountain road two miles away. There was a group of more than 1,000 people, and they were rapidly approaching their side. In front of the team, two large flags were waving in the wind. On the surface of one of the big flags, the word "Zhou" is embroidered.

"Assemble the army, assemble the armament for war!" Before attacking Grass Valley this time, Xue Qiluo had done his homework in terms of intelligence, and he immediately remembered Zhou Hu in Gaotai City, opened his throat, and warned loudly, "Changshengtian is watching our warriors, don't panic, there are less than two thousand enemies, and all those who can pick up swords and guns are moving closer to me and preparing for battle." Just more than 1,000 Sui dogs, let's kill them all! ”

"Quick, speed up the whole team! Otherwise, everyone will have to die here today. After speaking, Xue Qiluo suddenly remembered that the defenders of Gaotai City were not Wang Junlin's descendants, and I heard that it was an army trained by Wang Junlin's own family.

Confused, he was defeated twice at the hands of Wang Junlin, and subconsciously Xue Qiluo was already a little afraid of Wang Junlin. At this time, seeing that everyone's movements were not nervous enough, I couldn't help but see sweat on my foreheads, and urged angrily.

"It seems that Lao Tzu came in time." At the same time that Xue Qiluo urged the remnants of his defeated troops to quickly reorganize and fight, Zhou Hu also discovered Xue Yantuo's army on the mountain road through the eyes of his scouts. With a swing of the spear in his hand, he gave the order to attack without hesitation.

"Ride in a row of four, keeping a distance of one zhang between each row. Brothers, follow me, this is a military merit that the general has left us behind! Shouting loudly, he had already led the way and rushed out.

"Kill!" Five hundred Gaotai City cavalry quickly followed, holding a special extended horizontal knife in their hands.

"Kill the Turkic dog thief, kill the Turkic dog thief-" The soldiers of Gaotai City, who had held back their strength to make war exploits, opened their throats and shouted in unison. Everyone's face is full of desire for victory and military exploits. After Wang Junlin re-trained and intensively trained them, this was the first time they had fought a war.

"Knock knock, knock knock, knock knock—" Xue Yantuo's army, which was threatened, quickly responded with the sound of drums. More than 3,000 soldiers who had just recovered some physical strength, but last night, who had lost their horses in order to flee for their lives, reluctantly lined up a glaive formation under the shouting and urging of Xue Qiluo and several leaders, thousand-commanders, and centurions. At the base of the glaive, a huge phalanx was attached. More than 6,000 Xue Yantuo warriors whose limbs were sore and weak, and whose physical strength was far from recovering, were all hiding in the phalanx.

The howling mountain wind, carrying particles of residual snow, rolled quickly between the two armies. The sunlight of the deep winter is reflected by the snow particles in mid-air, and in an instant, it shows seven colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, fluttering, undulating.

Zhou Hu, who was riding his horse at the front, was slightly stunned by the colorful streamer that suddenly appeared in mid-air. Immediately, he raised his spear again and shouted: "Hold down the speed, hold down the speed, not faster than me, not slower than me." ”

"Hold down the speed, stay in formation, and watch your mount's feet!" The regimental leader and fire commander in the team quickly turned Zhou Hu's call into a military order, and then carried it out to the entire cavalry team.

The mountain roads are rugged, and there is still snow on the side of the road, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry deployment. However, Wang Junlin deliberately studied the tactics of the dense cavalry formation in Gaotai City, and it was precisely the speed that he pursued. Therefore, although the combat effectiveness of this cavalry was restricted by the terrain, it was still neatly lined up and had an amazing momentum.

Boom, boom......

The sound of horses' hooves falling one after another, the sound is like thunder, and between the mountains, the echo is continuous.

The hillside under his feet began to tremble slightly, the remnants of snow on the slopes began to tremble slightly, and the dead grass, tree trunks, and rocks between the remnants of snow trembled, trembled, and undulated. In an instant, the sky, white clouds, and the seven-colored streamer between the two armies also quickly trembled, and in an instant, the ground shook and the mountains shook.

After running all night, the soldiers of Xue Yantuo, who were tired and hungry, were beaten pale by the deafening sound of horses' hooves, and the two trembled. The courage they had lost last night had not yet fully recovered, and the fear of the pandemic still threatened them, and they were no longer in a state to sustain a tough battle. Some of them contracted the epidemic, but it was not serious, and the fever had not yet begun.

"If you have a shield in your hand, take five steps forward and set up a shield wall! If you have a spear in your hand, take three steps forward, squat, and put the spear on top of your shield! Don't be afraid, they don't have many cavalry. Just when everyone was panicking, Xue Qiluo's voice sounded again, calm and calm, so that after all the Xue Yantuo soldiers heard it, they were more or less stable.

"Shieldman, take five steps forward and set up a shield wall! Whoever holds a spear, takes three steps forward,"

“…… Squat down and rest the gun on top of the shield......"

Xue Qiluo's personal soldiers repeated his order loudly.

Hundreds of Xue Yantuo warriors holding shields dragged a few steps forward, erected their shields one after another, and formed an uneven shield wall between the two crescents of the Glaive Array. Hundreds more stumbled after the shield-bearers, crouching and setting up their guns, hoping to deter the enemy's horses with their dense spear blades. Every pair of haggard eyes was full of helplessness and horror.

The Turkic warriors are good at riding battles, and foot combat is actually their shortcoming, but walking on mountain roads last night, riding horses and running in the dark night is simply suicide, in order to survive, the vast majority of Xue Yantuo warriors abandoned their war horses.

Xue Qiluo himself was not optimistic about the effect of the combination of the shield wall and the spear forest, so he transferred another class to the center of the glaive array: "The archers step forward and form a team, one finger diagonally upward, ready to shoot!" ”

"Whoosh-" Hundreds of feathered arrows rose into the air, like a large flock of crows pounced, sweeping towards the cavalry of Gaotai City that was getting closer and closer.

"Poof...... The sound ......of arrows shooting into the flesh was incessant, and the red mist filled the ranks of the cavalry. However, to Xue Qiluo's astonishment, the imaginary situation of the enemy soldiers turning on their backs did not appear. Only a handful of horses broke away from the cavalry with a mournful roar and rushed towards the snowy fields on both sides of the hillside. The rest of the Gaotai City cavalry actually shrank closer to each other, shoulder to shoulder, arm to arm, and the specially made extended horizontal knife held high above their heads, still dense as a forest.

"Arrows, arrows, aim at the warhorse, aim at the warhorse!" A clan leader judged what was wrong, and he opened his throat and shouted at him.

The cavalry of Gaotai City were all wearing armor, although they could not see the texture, but judging from the results achieved in the first round of feather arrows on their side, the armor was far better than they imagined. And the war horse looks carefully trained, as long as the owner on his back does not fall off the saddle, even if he is dying, the war horse will continue to carry him and continue to follow the robe next to him.
