Chapter 130: Zhang Liang's Decision

At this time, the Sui army's commanders in front were fighting with the remaining four hundred cavalry of the first wave of impact, and there was a big hole in the Sui army's front, which was a good opportunity!

Qiu Xiaogang licked his somewhat dry lips excitedly, holding his long knife high, while the Wei cavalry behind him held up the long lance, stood on the horse pedal with both feet, pulled the reins with one hand, and tightly clamped the lance under his armpit with the other, so that the all-destroying pistol charge was enough to crush any infantry into a pile of pulp!

At this time, the long lance soldiers who were fighting with the Wei cavalry on the front line seemed to have anticipated the impending tragedy, and suddenly threw down the long lance in unison, turned their heads and ran back!

Seeing this, Qiu Xiaogang's heart even had a hint of joy. This situation is the most common scenario for infantry to face cavalry charges, followed by the enemy's head jumping, and then crushing and chasing along the way. He, Qiu Xiaogang, will be the protagonist who will dominate this battle!

The first wave of Wei cavalry, which had lost its horse speed, saw that the opponent took the initiative to retreat, looking at the teammates who were rushing at high speed behind them and the enemy who was rapidly retreating in front of them, they actually stood in place, a little at a loss.

"Spread out, spread out!" Qiu Xiaogang didn't want his teammates in front of him to block his high-speed horsepower, so he waved his arms again and again, shouting and signaling his teammates in front of him to disperse, making way for himself to win.

However, what Qiu Xiaogang and even Zhang Liang didn't expect was that those Sui soldiers who had thrown away their long lances walked through the gaps lined up by their teammates, and hundreds of crossbowmen with crossbows in both hands lined up, the crossbows lost their heads, and they didn't even need to aim, they pulled the trigger three times in a row, and the sound of the machine spring was endless, and round after round of crossbows shot towards the Wei cavalry who stayed in place and didn't know what to do!

This round of crossbows shot the heads and chests of hundreds of war horses in the first row, and they were all shot out of a puff of blood by the crossbow arrows, and the war horses lost their balance. Staggering forward one by one, the Wei cavalry, who were also hit by arrows on the horse, took more than ten steps forward, and rushed out a blood-stained trace in the yellow sand like a human body surfing in the sea, before finally dying of anger.

Although Qiu Xiaogang was reckless, his personal martial arts still had nothing to say, in the face of an unexpected situation, he hurriedly raised his riding shield with one hand to protect the horse's head, and he came to hide in his pocket, except for a crossbow arrow on his shoulder, there was no major injury!

Although Qiu Xiaogang was fine, the entire cavalry team was attacked by this wave, causing serious chaos. In the face of the front row of cavalry and war horses rolling and falling one after another, the Wei army riders in the back row were not well trained and did not have superb riding skills, they either jumped over or bypassed the corpses of their companions who fell in front, but the speed had been reduced by half, and the formation was scattered.

"Rush over! Rush over! The pain from the wound stimulated Qiu Xiaogang's brain, and he roared angrily, eager to tear apart the Sui crossbowmen on the opposite side!

The war horses that rushed up were not so easy to stop. And the crossbowmen in the front row of the Sui army took advantage of this gap to take the second crossbow from their companions behind them, and did not aim at them. Directly facing the dense Wei cavalry in front of him, like a wall advance, he fired a salvo of three crossbows again!

This time, due to the distance of thirty paces closer, the penetration power of the crossbow arrows was further enhanced, and many Wei cavalry on horseback were shot by the oncoming crossbow arrows and flew straight backwards from their horses, and some of the war horses were still galloping forward. The knights had already fallen to the ground in the back, and this round shot down two or three hundred Wei cavalry, and after two rounds of crossbow arrows, the nearly two thousand Wei cavalry in the second wave of impact had already lost one-third, and the speed had dropped by half. But the rest of the people were still red-eyed, and under the leadership of Qiu Xiaogang, they waved the long lance in their hands, stood on their horses, and launched a deadly assault at full speed towards the Sui army array seventy or eighty paces away, this time. There is no way to have a bow and crossbow to stop the thunderous blow of these knights!

At this time, the crossbowmen of the Sui army in the front row threw away the bows and crossbows in their hands one after another, exactly like the retreat of the long lance soldiers in front, and walked through the gaps in the phalanx of the long lance soldiers.

Although, Qiu Xiaogang successfully led his troops into the Sui formation, but the effect was not even as good as the first wave of impact, in the face of the dense Sui army's long lance formation, coupled with his own scattered formation, Qiu Xiaogang felt many obstacles as soon as he broke in, and every step forward had to pay huge strength.

Looking at the battle situation in front of him, Zhang Liang closed his eyes in annoyance, he knew that Qiu Xiaogang's troops, who had lost their horse speed, were unlikely to be able to break through the Sui army formation now. But soon, Zhang Liang opened his eyes again, and ordered with a firm gaze: "All listen to the order, the goal, the Sui army front!" Cut them off and rush them! ”

Mai Mengcai, who was watching the battle in the Chinese army, saw that Zhang Liang led the remaining more than 3,000 Wei cavalry to move, but that direction of attack made Mai Mengcai panic, he made every calculation, gathered vital forces in the Chinese army, and even kept a thousand heavily armed lance soldiers on the left flank, but he neglected this key point.

As the saying goes, hitting a snake hits seven inches, and Zhang Liang's choice is indeed hitting Mai Mengcai's seven inches. Now, Meng Jingzheng is leading 10,000 Sui troops to open the front, resisting the attack of tens of thousands of Wei troops under Guo Xiaoke, the battle situation is very stalemate, if Zhang Liang leads more than 3,000 Wei cavalry from Meng Jing's flank at this time, the consequences can be imagined.

Zhang Liang had already rushed up, and now it was too late to inform Meng Jing, so Mai Mengcai hurriedly led his troops to the front army in person, and he had to set up a solid defense line behind Meng Jing to avoid the collapse of the whole army.

At this time, Meng Jing's department, which was on the front line to stabilize the front, could not defend, and Guo Xiaoke's Wei army was arrogant at the moment, and was desperately forcing the defense line organized by Meng Jing, although Meng Jing had reserved a thousand people on the flank early to prevent the Wei cavalry from raiding, but the long lance soldiers were insufficient, and the formation was too dense, and it was impossible to stop the Wei cavalry that Zhang Liang's department rushed up at high speed.

Soon, Zhang Liang led more than 3,000 Wei cavalry at a distance of 80 paces, first a cavalry bow and shooting, and then held a four or five meters long cavalry, a shock killed more than 500 people of the Sui army, after the leading iron cavalry rushed into the crowd, directly threw away the long lance with two or three corpses, and then pulled out the secondary weapons on the saddle, mostly swords, hammers and whips, etc., smashed when they saw people, and the wild war horses were also constantly jumping and trampling in the crowd, and the Sui troops who fell to the ground were trampled into blood and mud one by one.

"Steady! Steady! Meng Jing's mournful shouts echoed across the battlefield, but it was useless, and after breaking through the formation of a thousand men on the flanks, Zhang Liang continued to lead his troops to break into the unsuspecting Sui army array, which was fully resisting the attack of Guo Xiaoke's troops in front of him.
