Chapter 567: Charging Array (3)
The northern part of the mountain is obviously a little busy by this style of fighting, this kind of combat method is the first time to encounter, in the impression of the northern part of the mountain, the battle is a competition of the bravery and will of the cavalry on both sides. This is not to say that the people of Murowei will not use stratagems, but stratagems are ridiculous in the face of absolute strength.
The current situation made Shanbei a little aggrieved, feeling like he was punching the air, and the six thousand cavalry could not be used on the narrow battlefield, let alone fully penetrated.
The terrain here restricts the large-scale deployment of cavalry in the northern part of the mountain, and only more than 1,000 cavalry can charge at a time, which greatly reduces the power of the charging array.
This was obviously beneficial to the infantry formation, but it made the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain have no room to exert themselves, and they could only send more than 1,000 cavalry to charge the formation at a time, so that the advantage in the northern part of the mountain would be gone.
Every time the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain rushed, Zhen Er would lead his cavalry to rush out from behind the two wings, not seeking to kill how many cavalry in the northern part of the mountain, just to harass and disrupt the formation of the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain, and make it more difficult for the cavalry in the north of the mountain to charge.
As time passed, the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain launched six or seven attacks one after another, without achieving the slightest effect, but it seemed to make the infantry formation stronger and stronger, and the coordination of the infantry also became tacit, as if a whole advance and retreat were well-founded.
The infantry formation is like a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the cavalry in the north of the mountain, every time after the charge, the north of the mountain will lose one or two hundred cavalry, this is not the most serious, the most serious is the confidence of the cavalry in the north of the mountain, more and more hesitant, in the face of the hedgehog-like infantry formation, if you want to bite a bite will definitely collapse a mouth full of teeth.
However, the state of the infantry formation was not much better, although the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain did not cause much damage to the infantry formation, but the losses were still there, and this kind of loss accumulated little by little, and when the accumulation reached a certain point, loopholes appeared everywhere in the entire infantry formation, and many places became thin because of the lack of soldiers.
Such losses were fatal for the infantry formation, and if there were not enough infantry, the infantry formation would inevitably shrink and would not be able to form a dense defensive formation.
More than an hour had passed, and the number of infantry had been sharply reduced from the initial 1,500 men to 1,200 men, and the losses had reached 20 percent.
Both sides were holding out, confidence in the northern part of the mountain was shaking, and the infantry under Wang Peng had suffered too great losses.
Zhen Er came to Wang Peng's side with a horse, as if he had been fished out of a pool of blood, the war horses under him had been replaced by three, and there were still many arrows hanging on the armor on his body, fortunately, the arrows of the cavalry in the north of the mountain were not made of steel, otherwise, Zhen Er at this time would have already farted with Lord Yama.
"Uncle Wang! I'm afraid we won't be able to last much longer? ”
"Even if you die, you have to hold on here for two hours!" Wang Peng's eyes stared at the cavalry in the north of the mountain in the distance, and his tone was unquestionable.
The battle for the survival of Black Domain City, how can Zhen Er not understand, but .......
Zhen Er looked at Wang Peng's strong back, the condensation in his heart suddenly rippled in his chest, Wang Peng taught martial arts for half a year, and in the end, Wang Peng only left a faint sentence, this sentence still echoed in Zhen Er's mind for a long time, "Zhen Er, you are missing a sense of absolute immensity in your body, this is a belief, if not, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the combat skills in this life!" ”
At this moment, Zhen Er suddenly realized, such a feeling appeared once a long, long time ago, that time was hunting alone in the deep forest after he became an adult, a black bear suddenly appeared in front of him, Zhen Er was scared stupid at that time, he only knew that he would turn around and run, but people couldn't run away from the black bear at all, it was at that moment of life and death that he gave up the fear in his heart, turned around and fought with the black bear, and it was that life and death fight that made Zhen Er grow up.
During the period of following Zhen Qian, Zhen Er's distracting thoughts became heavier and heavier, and he had gradually lost his original bravery, with too many scruples, too deep expectations, and his fighting spirit was consumed bit by bit.
But on the other hand, Zhen Da, in the half a year on the Liaodong Peninsula, his skills have become more and more powerful, and even in the duel with Wang Peng, he has not been cheapened at all.
And now, Zhen Da was not in the Black Domain City, but returned to the Liao River Estuary with more than 600 people, looking for a safe passage from the Liao River Estuary to the Black River City. It is impossible for the city to exist alone, and the ordinary trade routes are not suitable for the connection between the city and the outside world, and there is an urgent need to open up an unknown route.
Zhen Er thought that this was something that could not be accomplished at all, and he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, so he gave this opportunity to Zhen Da after looking ahead.
Now that I think about it, how stupid and ridiculous the decision was.
As a general, what is the difference between him and ordinary people if he loses his fighting spirit and strong spirit!
He has changed, he has become less confident than before, Wang Peng's words woke Zhen Er, and Zhen Er was shocked, with a look of absolute expression in his eyes.
"Follow me, kill!" Zhen waved the long knife in his second hand again, there was no longer half a minute of hesitation in his heart, behind him was Black Domain City, he had no way to retreat, since this was the case, let it go!
A black shadow flashed in the dense forest behind the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain, and if the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain looked back and carefully at this time, they would find that there were countless figures shuttling through the dense forest, quickly approaching the rear of the cavalry in the northern part of the mountain.
The war continued, and everyone was staring at them, and no one noticed the danger that was taking place in the dense forest not far from the battlefield.
No matter how hard Wang Peng tried, the number of infantry was still rapidly decreasing as the cavalry in northern Shanbei attacked again and again, and it was close to an extremely dangerous number.
"Uncle Wang! It's almost unbearable! Zhen Er had no strength in his whole body, and the fighting again and again consumed his last bit of strength, and now his body can barely support it tied to a war horse.
Wang Peng looked at the dwindling infantry around him, the infantry array had been reduced by one-fifth due to the decrease in numbers, and there were barely three rows of soldiers standing in many places. After continuous shelling of the six guns, one of the guns even blew up, and more than two-thirds of the fire oil shells were consumed, and after half an hour at most, the infantry formation would have nothing to rely on.
"Is it really going to be defeated?"
Wang Peng looked up at the sky, an hour and a half had passed, the sky had darkened, the moon and stars were scarce, as if the black silk was inlaid with jade and precious stones, under the night sky of such a beautiful scenery, the most tragic battle was staged, and the soft and cold light shone on the battlefield It looked particularly weird.
The final moment has arrived!
It is a miracle that it can be supported until now, and Wang Peng has no luck in his heart. In Wang Peng's heart, this battle was doomed to fail from the beginning, but Wang Peng hoped that this battle would drag on for a longer time.
