"Where is Huadang Lao Wang, I have 100,000 urgent things to find him." Facing Hua Chihu, the old shopkeeper Zheng Ming shouted directly in Mongolian.
"My Abba isn't here, tell me something. I'm in charge here. With a frown, Hua Chihu replied.
"It's great that you're in charge." The old shopkeeper Zheng Ming's face deliberately showed a look of ecstasy.
"Go and save my caravan, there are horse thieves who want to rob us. I am willing to take out half of the caravan's supplies and give them to my old friend, your old Wang Huadang. Please go and save my caravan! Zheng Ming shouted loudly, his face full of anxiety.
"Half of the supplies?" Hua Chihu is a little uncertain about paying attention.
Shall I promise this old man to protect them and get half of the supplies justifiably, or will I rush to grab all the supplies of the caravan?
A spy ran back, attached himself to Hua Chihu's ear, and muttered softly.
"What?" Hua Chihu screamed.
The Zarut tribe had already arrived, and they had outnumbered him. This is also a protective fart, but I am afraid that everything will be robbed by the Zaluts.
Hua Chihu scolded hatefully, he turned to Zheng Ming and said, "This matter is too big, I can't be the master." Uncle, you take a rest first, and I will repay my father. ”
Hua Chihu waved his hand after speaking, and several Duoyan soldiers didn't wait for Zheng Ming to speak, so they pulled him down and sent him to an empty account to wait.
Seeing Hua Chihu's reaction, Zheng Ming's heart sank.
Duoyan still has backup, and Lao Huadang should not be far from here. The power of the Duoyan Department is more than 3,000 at all.
Will the teenagers be able to withstand it?
The Longmen caravan ran back at full speed for a while, looking at the undulating terrain around it, Zheng Ping shouted loudly: "Stop, stop, this is it." Rearmament warfare. ”
The speed of the caravan slowed down as a thin whistle sounded, and then slowly stopped.
The teenagers quickly jumped out of the carriage and helped the coachman quickly turn around and quickly set up in this pre-selected area.
At the moment of crisis, all the people of the caravan worked together, and around a small hill, the caravan quickly arranged a double car formation.
The unloaded horses and other non-combatants were all withdrawn into the inner formation. The strict discipline of the junior team was laid bare in the moment when the defense was constructed.
When the ground began to tremble and the hoofs of the pursuers thundered, the caravan's defensive formation was arranged. The boys' muskets were loaded, just waiting for the enemy who was not afraid of death to come and attack.
Seeing that the Longmen caravan stopped on the side of the road, the light cavalry of the Zalut Department slowly reined in their horses and stopped.
While arranging for the soldiers to change their fresh horses and prepare to charge into battle, Battle, Temur, and Angers checked the caravan's formation from a distance.
The caravan occupies a small hill, slightly higher than the surrounding area. The higher terrain can slow down the sprint speed of the war horse a little, but the overall impact is not great.
However, the defensive position arranged by the caravan made the three of Battle scratch their heads a little.
In a short period of time, the other party actually used a carriage to form a protective wall. These strange four-wheeled carriages stood there steadily, end to end forming a ring of defense.
What is the arrangement in the circle, because there is a carriage blocking the view, it is not clear at all.
The carriages and horses on the periphery were unloaded. But because it was supported by four wheels, even without the horses, the carriage still stood there steadily, and there were no flaws in the ups and downs of the previous two-wheeled car formation.
None of the caravan members could be seen now, and they did not know whether they were hiding in the circle or in the carriage. The entire caravan was as silent as if no one was there.
Now it's in trouble.
The three of them had wry smiles on their faces.
Before seeing the defensive circle of the Longmen caravan, Battle had never imagined that a caravan's makeshift camp would look like a small city.
Grab a caravan and attack the second city?
It was also too much of a test of Battle's imagination.
However, there was no turning back from the bow. It's already here, and it can only be hard-headed.
Now the Zarut division must not only attack, but also quickly attack. Because this place is too close to the camp of the Duoyan Division, Duoyan's troops may rush over at any time to cause trouble.
Now this situation, let the Battelles secretly rejoice, fortunately, they Zalut Department brought a full 5,000 horses. It has enough deterrent power against any tribe here.
Time is of the essence, without further ado, and there is no time for them to waste any more. You have to grab the fat while the others don't react.
Despite the tight schedule and heavy tasks, Battle first sent vigilant spies to all directions, and then sent 1,000 people led by Ange to monitor the camp of the Duoyan Division.
After eliminating the surrounding interference, the Zarut division began to concentrate on attacking the caravan's defensive circle.
With enough power in his hands, Battle's use of troops is more magnificent.
In the first wave of attacks on the caravan, Battle threw 2,000 cavalry directly.
According to Battle's arrangement, the 2,000 cavalry will attack the caravan from a small front in a mounted manner. It is both a temptation and a main attack.
If the caravan is well defended, the 2,000 cavalry will switch to cavalry to suppress the opponent. If the opponent's defenses are leaky, the 2000 cavalry will charge directly into the caravan's garrison.
With the sound of the horn, Zarut's light cavalry formed a relatively scattered horizontal column and slowly rushed towards the caravan.
When I saw the wide cavalry array in the distance, it slowly moved like water, from slow to fast. In the end, it is more like a flood that bursts its banks; When he rolled up a huge wave, brought a roaring loud noise, and rushed head-on with a huge and unparalleled momentum, Zheng Ping understood what a real cavalry was.
This kind of cavalry charge in a group is completely different from the scattered cavalry charge of the old soldiers. The two sides are simply two completely different classes.
It was only at this time that Zheng Ping understood what the veteran said.
Yes, in this cavalry assault formation, if you don't have good riding skills, you're almost sending you to death. Once the cavalry of this brigade rushed, anyone who unfortunately fell off their horse would be trampled into pulp by the cavalry in the rear.
It's just that he can ride a horse, and he really can't be considered a cavalryman.
Seeing the monstrous momentum brought up by the cavalry charge, Zheng Ping was secretly happy.
Thankfully, we were in a carriage.
yes, thanks to the fact that we were in a carriage.
All the teenagers of the frontal cavalry were in this mood.
The human psyche is strange, and when you face a heavy truck passing by you, you feel a strong sense of oppression.
But when you hide in a small car, even if it is an extremely thin battery car, most of that feeling of oppression will dissipate.
In the same way, when a person faces a group of rushing horses, even if he is wearing heavy armor, his heart will still be full of uneasiness. This is determined by the volume ratio of humans to horses.
But when a person hides in a carriage, especially in a rather large, sturdy carriage, the mind is obviously much more relaxed.
Only a relaxed mind can ensure the accuracy of the movements.
Seeing the young man in the same carriage, his face was still calm, and his movements were still soft, Zhang Yunyi's admiration for His Royal Highness King Xin rose to a new height.
To be able to train such a youth team, and to come up with such a way to face the cavalry, the wisdom of King Shin is truly unfathomable.
In the face of the cavalry charge, Zhang Yunyi still had time to think about it. He's also very relaxed!
