Chapter 122: Reckless Qiu Xiaogang

The death of this Sui army did not cause panic in the whole team, although the cavalry led by Qiu Xiaogang released arrows on their horses, but the long lance soldiers wearing heavy armor were not very afraid of the baptism of bows and arrows, everyone was under the command of officers at all levels, trying to lower their heads first, and move forward with their helmets to protect their faces and necks. Not all of the cavalry of the Wei army were Qiu Xiaogang, and most of the arrows were shot at the heavy armor of the long lance soldiers, even if they were killed, it was difficult to cause kills, and there was no impact on the formation of the long lance soldiers.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding~! Ding Ding Ding Ding~! Ding Ding Ding Ding~! ”

The sound of feather arrows hitting the armor clanged, and even if a few soldiers were injured and fell to the ground after their feather arrows hit the junction of the armor, they would quickly climb to the ground and stubbornly keep the queue neat and orderly.

In the face of the cavalry charge, at this time he was shot by enemy arrows, and no auxiliary soldiers came forward to drag him away, and if he had been lying on the ground, then when facing the cavalry impact, he would probably never be able to stand up again. For if he falls to the ground, he will either be trampled to death by his own companions, or he will trample the hooves of galloping horses into pulp, and he will die an ugly death.

Soon, the cavalry of the Wei army was only twenty or thirty steps away from the long lance formation of the Sui army, and Qiu Xiaogang, who was in the lead, hung his sandalwood bow on the saddle early, and took off his bright long steel knife.

The two armies met, Qiu Xiaogang violently raised his knife upward, and after pushing away all the spears in front of him, he rode his horse straight to trample towards the crowd, and the high-speed galloping war horse with huge inertia directly knocked the first Sui army in front of him upside down and flew out, knocking down a group of teammates behind him, and then, the dozen or so Sui soldiers who were knocked unconscious were trampled into a ball of meatloaf by the hard horseshoe.

After crashing into the crowd, Qiu Xiaogang took the steel knife in his hand and slashed left and right, and the Sui soldiers along the way had almost no enemy, either they were hacked to death by the steel knife, or they were knocked away by the war horse.

And the same is true of the cavalry of the Wei army, except for one hundred and ten horsemen who were poked by the Sui army lance or themselves as soon as they met, as long as the rest stepped into the Sui army's lance array, they all crashed into groups of Sui soldiers one after another. The cavalry in the hands of the Wei cavalry did not even need to be wielded, as long as they maintained a specific posture, they could completely rely on the speed of the war horse to kill the enemy and charge into battle.

"Bang~!"

"Hoohoo~!"

"Ah~! Woo~! Yaaa~! ”

The more than 1,000 Sui soldiers in the front row were almost powerless to fight back, except for a tragic shout, they were directly attacked by the Wei cavalry that rode one after another without suspense. If you look down from a high place, at this time, the front row of the long lance array has been basically submerged by the torrent of the Wei cavalry, and there are only a few large black regiments, which are small groups of the Sui army that are still in a tight formation, in the cavalry torrent of the Wei army, struggling to support, like a leaf in the sea, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Resist~! Resist~! At this time, if you don't move like a mountain, you can have a glimmer of life! Brothers, hold your ground! ”

Under the shouts of Qian Jie and the actions of generals and colonels at all levels to lead by example, although the array of long lance soldiers of the Sui army suffered a huge impact, they were not defeated by a single blow, let alone the situation of being defeated by the cavalry and attacking their teammates, and the soldiers of the Sui army stubbornly stuck to their posts.

Gradually, the first wave of Wei cavalry, including Qiu Xiaogang's own horse speed, was gradually exhausted, and they were divided into two wings under the command of Qiu Xiaogang, preparing to withdraw from the long lance formation to make room for the second wave of Wei cavalry.

Seeing this, Mai Mengcai, who had been watching the battle in the Chinese army, directly danced the crescent cane he was holding tightly in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, the enemy army has lost its speed, don't let them run!" Come with me and chop the horse's legs! ”

"Chong Na~! Come on~! ”

After that, Mai Mengcai personally led the team and led more than 3,000 jumping soldiers to outflank the two wings of the Changlance Formation, and entangled Qiu Xiaogang's troops who were about to retreat.

The cavalry, which has lost the speed of its horses, is in trouble when faced with nimble jumping soldiers, not that they cannot fight, but that they are entangled and in trouble. The training time and cost of a cavalryman is very high, and exchanging with a jumper is a loss-making deal.

What's more, these Wei cavalry lacked sufficient training time, which was especially evident in the face of the entanglement of the jumping soldiers. First of all, if it is a knight who is skilled in kung fu right away, he will control his horse speed in the process of charging into battle, and will not wait until he has completely lost his horse speed and squeezed into a ball with his companions before thinking about retreating; Secondly, in the face of the entanglement of the Sui army's jumping soldiers, the Wei cavalry would not skillfully cooperate with the mounts, but would only savagely rampage, or simply sit on horses and engage in close combat with the jumping soldiers.

The result of this was obvious, Qiu Xiaogang's troops who were trapped in the long lance formation could not withdraw, and the second wave of Wei cavalry, which had long been ready, was unable to launch an attack, so the battlefield was stalemate.

Looking at Qiu Xiaogang, who was slashing left and right in the crowd of jumping soldiers, constantly exerting his personal bravery, Xu Shiji's brows wrinkled into the word "Chuan". Now, the Wei cavalry was completely unable to give full play to the advantages of the cavalry, and was forced to engage with the infantry in short combat, and this impact did not achieve the effect expected by Xu Shiji at all.

"Hey, Qiu Xiao is brave and brave, but he can only be a brigade leader and captain, not the chief general of the cavalry unit! How could I have given him the task of assault! Xu Shiji looked up to the sky and sighed.

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes rolled and he said with relief: "General, we are all born with mud legs, and we have to learn from practice to fight, and it is natural for Xiaogang to lack experience." Why don't I go down and take his command!? ”

Xu Shiji's expression was slightly wider, he nodded, and advised: "It's okay, I'm tired of Brother Zhang going down to take over the command of the cavalry and reorganize the attack." If it really doesn't work, just withdraw it, I have this little capital in my hand! ”

Zhang Liang assured loudly: "General, rest assured, Zhang Liang has his own measure!" ”

Seeing this, Xu Shiji directly ordered: "Blow the trumpet, let Qiu Xiaogang lead his troops to withdraw and reorganize!" ”

"Woo woo ~ !!"

The sound of the horn that resounded throughout the audience reached the ears of Qiu Xiaogang, who was killing happily, and he stared at the direction of the Chinese army with a stunned face, and even wondered if the horn of the Chinese army was blown wrong!?

After confirming the situation on the battlefield, and seeing that his companions were all looking at him, Qiu Xiaogang took the opportunity to cut the throat of a Sui army jumper, spat on the ground fiercely, and snorted: "Withdraw~!" All to Lao Tzu withdraw! ”
