Chapter 67: Foot Riding vs. 2

Situ Liang began to feel a strong uneasiness rising in his heart more and more, and once again adjusted the speed of the war horse, making the war horse slow down a little more, making him fall behind even more, and looked nervously towards the opposite side.

Fifty paces, just when this group of officers and soldiers and cavalry approached the distance of fifty paces in front of Zhao Erdonkey's sentry general's formation, they finally reacted.

The chief who commanded the firecrackers stood hoarsely in the center of the front of the formation and let out a loud roar: "Bird's shoulder! Aim! He was the first to make a move, flattening the already loaded bird gun on his shoulder, pursing his lips, leaning over the burning rope and blowing a few times, and then placing his cheek on the butt of the gun.

The remaining sixteen musketeers immediately "......", all laid down the bird guns that had been prepared, pressed their gills close to the butt of their guns, narrowed their left eyes, and aimed the reticle at the enemy cavalry that was coming towards them, and each found a target from the reticle of the gun.

These movements were done in one go, as smooth and neat as flowing water, which was also the result of their long-term non-stop training every day, because their instructors had been chanting scriptures every day since they were in the boot camp, telling them that no matter what they faced on the battlefield, they could completely ignore it, and they only needed to act according to the orders of their superiors, even if it was a group of evil tigers rushing towards them, as long as their commanders did not give orders to let them move. They could only watch as the tiger pounced on them.

This concept has been repeatedly instilled by each of their instructors and commanders, and many of them have been drilled many times, and many of them have been beaten with military sticks because they did not listen to the orders of their superiors and acted without authorization, so over time, they have begun to form an instinct to unconditionally carry out the orders of their superiors.

Today just tested the results of their usual training, although just now they looked at the cavalry of the opposite officer army rushing towards them, and their hearts were nervous to death, but they still did not dare to move without permission, watching the cavalry of these officers and soldiers get closer and closer to them, and even the bird gun was not removed from the shoulder, but kept turning his face sideways, blowing the fire rope lit on the bird gun, so that it would not be extinguished, so as not to make a mistake, if the fire rope was extinguished at the time of battle, Then what awaits them is a heavy punishment of thirty military sticks, but no one wants to be beaten alive by military sticks.

It was too late, and as soon as the seventeen musketeers were ready, the cavalry of the officer army came closer, and had already entered a distance of forty paces, but the commander in the middle still did not give the order to fire, and all the musketeers clenched their birds' guns, and stared at their chosen targets, watching them grow bigger and bigger in the light of the door and the crosshairs.

At this time, the cavalry of the official army had really begun to be afraid, they had never faced such an enemy army with such a high psychological quality, and they had obviously entered the range of the enemy's birds, and the enemy was clearly ready to shoot, but the opponent still did not fire.

The closer these officers and soldiers naturally know that the more accurate the bird guns will be, and the more penetrating the projectiles of those bird guns will be, once they enter the distance of thirty paces, then these iron armor on their bodies will be like a piece of paper in front of the bird guns, and they will no longer have any effect at all, as long as they are hit, it will be a blood hole, even if they are not dead, I am afraid they will be crippled.

So some officers and soldiers who rushed to the front involuntarily began to slow down the urging of the horses, and everyone's hands began to involuntarily pull the reins of the horses, ready to circle the horses, which is also their instinct as human beings to survive, and no one wants to crash into the muzzle of the other party's gun.

Thirty steps ...... "Fire!" The fire-rope that was standing in the center finally let out a loud roar, adjusted the bird's gun slightly, and immediately pressed the dragon's head, and the firerope that flashed the fire head was driven by the dragon's head, and landed in the medicine pool where the lid was opened.

I only heard a sound like popping beans in front of Zhao Erdonkey's sentinel formation, and then a thick cloud of smoke rose up.

After the chief fired fire, he didn't even look forward to observe the effect of the shot, and immediately put the gun on his shoulder and shouted: "Return to the rear!" Fast! With that, he turned around and squeezed into the formation through the gap between the sword players behind him, strode through the three rows of spearmen, and ran to the back of the formation, and the rest of the musketeers immediately followed him one by one to the back of the formation, lowering the bird gun on his shoulder, and the butt of the gun on the ground.

And at the moment when they just opened fire, there was a sound of people shouting and neighing horses in front of the formation, and the cavalry of the officers and soldiers planted their heads from their horses to the ground, rolling and falling out of the distance, and could no longer stand up, most of these firefighters chose to aim at the war horses of the officers and soldiers to fire, after all, the target of the war horses is larger, and it will increase the hit rate, just a volley, the cavalry of the officers and soldiers was immediately overturned by six or seven people, and although two or three war horses were hit, no horses missed their front hooves, But immediately after being injured, he jumped up and down wildly, making a terrible hissing sound.

This kind of shooting effect almost frightened these dozens of officers and cavalry stupidly, and before the Situ Liang cavalry general gave the order, they took the reins of their horses one after another, turned their horses' heads to avoid the robes that fell in front of them and the war horses that blocked their way, and the cavalry array, which was still murderous, suddenly became a mess.

"He......" Zhao Erdonkey screamed wildly in the formation.

The formation, which was still a little loose, immediately came close together under his loud roar, so that the formation shrank by about half at once, and became much denser, and dozens of spears came together and towered high, forming a dense forest of guns.

One of the sword players in the front row also shouted, "Squat! The knife players, who were now in the first row, fell to one knee on the ground at the same time as he roared, raising their shields above their heads, protecting both their upper bodies and the chests of the platoon of pikemen behind them.

The archers on each flank were led by a commander, and when the fire rang out, they each shouted, "Shoot the arrows!" ”

Without saying a word, the dozen or so crossbowmen opened their bows with arrows, and fired violently at these officers and cavalry who were less than thirty paces in front of them, and one after another flew out with a whistling sound like a poisonous snake spitting out the core, and rushed straight at the enemy cavalry who were in disarray.

Thirty paces away, in the face of such a big target as a man and a horse, for the crossbowmen, it is no longer a problem, aiming is not effortless at all, even if they are not good at archery, they will not all shoot arrows into the air, a sharp arrow flew into the enemy crowd, and suddenly shot three or four enemy cavalry on their backs, at such a close distance, even the bow and arrow for them, have become a deadly weapon, as long as the sharp arrow hits the body of the officer or soldier or the body of the war horse, even if it can tear their armor, It thrust deep into their bodies, making them even more confused.

"Rush forward! Rush over! Don't mess around! The Situ Liang who was left behind saw the chaos in front of him, so he hurriedly shouted, wanting to control these cavalry to continue to impact the enemy army's formation, as long as they crashed into it, they would still have a chance to turn the tables, the opponent's troops were not many, they still had enough strength to disperse them, as long as they dispersed this group of thieves and dispersed them, it would inevitably affect the thieves in the back formation, then they could be regarded as doing what they should have done for Liu Wanqing, who followed.

The cavalry on the side of the official army heard Situ Liang's shout and realized this, so after a period of confusion, they turned their horses' heads again, intending to continue to rush towards the formation of the thief army.

But before they could rush close to Zhao Erdonkey's sentry array, Zhao Erdonkey shouted hysterically in the formation again: "The first row of pikemen squats down!" Everyone's guns are flat! ”

Even if the spearmen in the first row behind the knife players squatted down, the spears erected immediately flattened with a "......", and after the spears were flattened, they immediately clubbed the tail end of the spears on the ground, pressed one hand on the barrel of the guns, and poked the spears diagonally from the shoulders of the knife players in the front row, and a row of twenty spears immediately formed a gun forest in front of their formation, and the spearmen in the second row were empty in front of them, and immediately put the spears flat. The spears were pointed directly at the enemy cavalry who rushed from the opposite side from the heads of the first two rows, making the gun forest much denser, while the third row of pikemen immediately spread out to the two wings, lowering the spears in their hands towards both wings, and immediately formed a hedgehog-like gun formation in the front half of the entire line.

The archers quickly rushed back to the back of the formation, hid behind the guns, and under the command of the commander, began to point their bows into the air and shoot them in front of the formation to stop the enemy officers and soldiers from charging into the formation.

In the face of such a spear array like a hedgehog, the officers and cavalry were almost crying, and they were so frightened that they grabbed the reins of their horses one after another, and turned their horses' heads desperately, not daring to rush forward again.

They are not stupid, of course they know what such a gun formation means to them, cavalry like them even people and horses collide with each other, the other party does not have to exert force, their own momentum can be pierced into meat skewers by these hedgehog spears, even if they have the courage to crash into this, but the war horse they sit on is not a stupid thing, seeing a row of sharp and dense things appear in front of them, at a glance, they know that it is not good to bump into it, and the war horse will not be stupid and hit it headlong, So without their master pulling their necks, they immediately began to turn in a panic, trying to get around.

A group of cavalry like headless flies, in front of Zhao Erdonkey's sentry array, people shouted horses neighing, either reined and stopped, or rushed towards the wings, in short, there was no guy stupid hat like a head-on rush to this small formation, only two or three guys rushed too fiercely, too late to complete the turn, the oblique stabbing rushed to the front of the formation, and was immediately pierced by the spear of the hedgehog like a forest.

The two pikemen stabbed one of the enemy's horses almost at the same time, and the huge impact force suddenly made their spear barrel bend like a bow, and then broke the barrel with a click, both of them were immediately ejected and fell to the ground, one was heavily pumped on the chest by the barrel of the gun, and even if a mouthful of blood spurted out, it was obvious that the internal abdominal organs were severely injured, and whether they could survive or not, it is estimated that there is no guarantee.

Although the officers and soldiers were chaotic, they were still well-trained after all, and some of the officers and soldiers who rushed up from behind obviously had more room for maneuver, and they turned away from the spear formation as soon as they turned their horses, and threw the short axes and iron bones that had been prepared in their hands towards the Xingtian Army's formation.

After all, the spear array is very dense, there is no need to aim at all, and any stone thrown will not fall into the open space, a few spearmen are hit, let out a muffled sound, a spearman is hit by a short axe on the forehead, when even the smashed brain burst out, and fell into the crowd with his back facing the sky, blood and brains splashed on the bodies and faces of several robes, making these people's faces change greatly, a soldier obviously couldn't bear such a miserable situation, when even bent over and vomited, I spit out the cakes I ate on the road.

Two others were struck in the chest by axes or iron bones, and their bones could only be heard to crack, and they also lost their spears and paused.

But anyway, Zhao Erdonkey, the sentry general, finally blocked the impact of this group of officers and cavalry, did not let them step into the formation, and disrupted their formation, Zhao Erdonkey breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and then felt a wet piece behind him, it turned out that even he was nervous because of this battle.

The officers and soldiers and cavalry scattered in front of this small formation, bypassing it, and a few unlucky guys, in order not to bump into this gun formation, actually turned their horses' heads and collided with the soldiers on the side of Li Xuanzhu, who was close to Zhao Erdonkey's post.

I only heard the sound of popping beans in the formation on Li Xuanzhu's side, and a few unlucky guys screamed and crashed off their horses, fell heavily on the ground, and couldn't get up.

(Tomorrow Monday, make a reservation for the red ticket in everyone's hand!) )
