At this time, a horse bandit had already dismounted and picked up the longbow with Luo Puli and handed it to her.

The moment he opened his bow with Luo Puli, he saw Ayi Tenggna on Chi Yanhua's back. She hesitated slightly, then hung her bow and arrow back in the saddle and swung her scimitar again: "The target is still on the polo field, brothers, follow me!" ”

In the dense forest, more than a hundred horses began to trot slowly. The bandits were very experienced and knew that when charging, they should not rush their mounts to top speed all at once, but should start warming up with a slow trot, and then increase their horse's speed as fast as possible at the moment of confrontation with the enemy.

In this way, with the speed of the horse and the scimitar on the side, you can easily harvest the enemy's head.

Before the ambush, Tong Luo Puli took into account the combat characteristics of the horse bandits. Therefore, their ambush position is about 500 steps north of the polo field, which is conducive to lurking and ensuring that the mounts are warmed up to the best condition.

During the ambush, only the old man and Tong Luo Puli stood out in the front, and the rest of the horse bandits were always waiting in the back.

At this moment, after the whole group of horse bandits moved, people shouted and neighed, and there was a commotion in the dense forest, like a fierce beast out of a hole.

The more than 20 Ruyiju warriors who hung behind the bandits and attacked with bows and arrows could only watch as the bandits turned over on their horses and began to charge slowly because they did not carry mounts and lacked effective means of blocking.

After shooting the flying knife and knocking the long arrow, Su Sanniang, who was hanging on the branch, realized that she had despised Wang Peizhong's plan.

"More than a hundred cavalry!" Su Sanniang nodded quickly, feeling that Wang Peizhong's handwriting was too big, and for the sake of a little rich family grievance, he unknowingly mobilized so many people.

The samurai of Ruyiju were worried about startling the grass and snakes, so they never got very close, so they didn't know how many people and horses were lurking in the dense forest.

"Master, this fang is indeed a ruthless and difficult guy to deal with!" Su Sanniang looked at the helpless Ruyiju warrior hanging behind the cavalry, and was particularly anxious.

She originally planned to turn the samurai of Ruyiju into a yellow finch that hunted and killed mantises, but when she opened her mouth to devour, she found that the mantis had become an evil eagle. Not only can the yellow finch swallow it, but it is in danger of being bitten to death by the evil eagle at any time.

However, when she saw the woman in black commanding her subordinates to shoot the little red horse, Su Sanniang was even more sure that Wang Fei Xiaolangjun was Wang Peizhong's target, and she also deduced the idea of the woman in black.

"It seems that she is in a hurry to kill Xiao Langjun, and the samurai of Ruyiju will not be in mortal danger for a while." Su Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought in her heart: "How to stop Wang Peizhong?" There are too many cavalry! ”

Su Sanniang, who was frowning and worried, with a long sword in her right hand and a flying knife in her left hand, was hidden between the branches and was at a loss.

At this time, on the polo field, the Beiting Ya soldiers had already protected Wang Fei and the others. Deputy Chen, the highest-ranking of the more than forty tooth soldiers, was the first to react, and when he wanted to go to the woods on the north side to lead the war horse, the rumbling hooves of the cavalry charging sounded in the dense forest.

"More than 100 rides!" After Wang Fei heard the sound of horses' hooves in the dense forest, he crouched on the ground and roughly judged, and was greatly surprised in his heart: "Why did so many cavalry suddenly appear outside Tingzhou City?" What do they want? ”

Deputy Chen also quickly judged the approximate number of unknown cavalry in the forest, and his face was worried, because there were only more than forty tooth soldiers, and none of them were on their horses.

If forty Beiting Ya soldiers were fully armed and mounted on their horses, they were confident that they would be able to defeat any cavalry of a hundred men in a battle, except for the Ya soldiers of Gao Xianzhi in Anxi and the Luluo River in An Lushan in Fanyang.

Even though the enemy was outnumbered, the Tooth soldiers were fully confident that they would quickly leave the battlefield with their superb horsemanship.

But at this moment, because they were guarding Xiao Langjun and the little ladies near Tingzhou City to play polo, the tooth soldiers did not expect to need to fight with a cavalry of 100 people, so they were all wearing light leather armor, horizontal swords and bows and arrows hanging from their waists, and they did not wear heavy armor and horse lances.

What's even more dangerous is that before watching the game, the tooth soldiers tied their horses to the north side of the woods, and at this moment the men and horses were separated, and they could only meet the cavalry charge with superior numbers in foot combat.

What's more, the tooth soldiers also have to ensure the safety of Xiao Langjun and the little ladies. If they make the slightest mistake, they will face the wrath of the Beiting Protector, the Deputy Protector, the Changshi and the Prison Army!

"Except for General Li Bei's Mo swordsman, no one dares to guarantee that he can break a hundred cavalry with forty infantry!" Deputy Chen felt a burst of chagrin in his heart, hating himself for being too careless.

First of all, he was negligent in his precautions, and did not go to the dense forest to explore after coming to the polo field. Secondly, he relaxed his vigilance and did not place guards near the war horse.

If there are three or five tooth soldiers guarding the vicinity of the war horse, they can quickly bring the war horse over when they discover the mutation, and then escort Xiao Langjun and the little ladies out of danger.

"What should I do?" Deputy Chen gritted his teeth, pulled his legs and ran towards the place where the war horses were tied at the edge of the woods, ready to pull the war horses over single-handedly.

As soon as he ran more than ten steps, there was a "whooshing" arrow sound in the dense forest, and several long arrows fell on the road he was on.

When Team Deputy Chen was about to continue running, a sharp arrow grazed the tip of his nose and flew past, forcing him to stop and return to the circle of the tooth soldiers.

In the dense forest, the neighing of war horses and the sound of hooves are like thunder. Under the control of the horse bandits, the speed of the horse is getting faster and faster. The fierce horse bandits, the tigers from the mountains, and the wolves out of the hole, rushed straight to the polo field.

The sound of horses' hooves drew nearer, and all the birds in the woods were startled and scurried in the sky.

In the guardian circle of the Beiting Ya soldiers, Wang Jue's face was pale when he hid behind the red horse, he had never experienced the battlefield, and he had no master of the six gods at this time, and he didn't care about finding Wang Fei to theorize anything; Humpty Dumpty Gao Xiangui was also trembling with fright, so nervous that he didn't know what to do for a while; Zhang Dejia tried his best to calm himself down, thinking about what was going on.

On the other side, Ashina Xiaoyun had already understood that she had encountered an attack from an unknown enemy, and she was a little worried, but her mind was more of an irrepressible chagrin and excitement!

The reason why she was annoyed was that she thought that it was all because she was bent on playing polo that everyone was in such a big trouble.

The reason why she is excited is because the excitement brought to her by the galloping of 100 horses is too strong!

Because she was born as a daughter, Ashina Xiaoyun is basically destined to be impossible to go to the battlefield except for hunting and polo. I didn't expect to encounter an enemy attack at the end of a polo match, which was so interesting.

However, since she didn't know the number of enemies, and she didn't understand that the Beiting Tooth soldiers were at a disadvantage at the moment, she was just a little blindly optimistic and didn't know how to deal with it.

"If you dare to hurt my family, I will kill them!" Ashina Xiaoyun waved the polo stick in his hand and thought firmly.

Ashina Wenxia's observation is more detailed than her sister's, listening to the dense thunderous sound of horses' hooves, looking at the melancholy of the tooth soldiers, she understands that she has met a strong enemy. What to do? The unarmed Ashina Wenxia used her brain with all her might, but she still didn't come up with any way?

Just now Wang Fei let Chi Yanhua cross the wall of the tooth soldiers, and Ashina Wenxia thought that it was to bring Ayi Tenggena into the guard circle.

However, seeing Ayi Tenggena riding Chiyanhua and hurrying east, Ashina Wenxia understood that she was going to ask for help, so she began to calculate in her heart when the nearest reinforcements would arrive.

Ashina was dazed, and he hadn't figured out what was going on at all. When Wang Fei shouted for everyone to get off the horse just now, he didn't react in a daze. If it weren't for Ashina Xiaoyun dragging him, it is estimated that he would still be riding on the fruit horse at the moment.

When Wang Fei first heard the sound of breaking the air and the sound of horses' hooves, he was also nervous. But after seeing the tooth soldiers quickly form a circle, she relaxed slightly. She has always trusted the combat effectiveness of Beiting's tooth soldiers.

After relaxing, the kind-hearted Wang Fei immediately discovered a problem: "Juxiang and the others are still near the carriage, it's too dangerous!" Hurry up and let them come! ”

After the sudden attack, the first thing the tooth soldiers thought about was to protect Xiao Langjun and the little ladies. For the servants and maids, the tooth soldiers who are eager to reverse their disadvantage are not thinking about it at all.

Wang Fei's words made Wang Fei, who pulled out the short dagger on his waist and was eager to think of countermeasures, his heart flashed: "Carriage!! ”

In his previous life, in his spare time, Wang Fei often soaked in military forums. He especially likes to look at some tactics and tactics in the era of cold weapons. There is some rudimentary knowledge about how the infantry restrained the cavalry.

The advantage of cavalry is that it has strong mobility and high impact force, so it is called a clutch soldier; Its disadvantages lie in its dependence on terrain, high consumption, and long cultivation cycle.

The advantage of infantry is that it has a strong ability to adapt to the terrain and low training costs; The disadvantage is naturally weak mobility.

Overall, cavalry has a greater advantage on the battlefield of the Cold Weapon Age, which is why the cavalry is called the "King of War in the Cold Weapon Age".

According to the theory of geopolitics, in the hot. Before the popularization of weapons, the reason why the steppe nomads in the heart of Eurasia were able to impact the surrounding agricultural civilization was that they grew up on horseback since they were young and could quickly and easily have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry.

In the agrarian civilization of the same period, in order to form a cavalry of the same size or to defeat the nomads, it required much more resources and much more difficult training.

But this does not mean that cavalry is omnipotent, and it does not mean that infantry cannot defeat cavalry.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, many famous generals have explored and tried a variety of tactics of riding with foot in combination with the actual national conditions, and have achieved certain results. In the era of cold weapons, there were many tactics of infantry and cavalry, but the most outstanding ones were spear formations and chariot formations.

These tactics, in the final analysis, are all about taking advantage of the terrain or creating formations that are not conducive to the performance of the cavalry, so as to restrain the mobility and impact of the cavalry to the greatest extent and to level the gap between the infantry and the cavalry.

At this moment, the spear formation is impossible, but a few carriages on the east side of the polo field can learn from the Wugang chariot and barely arrange a chariot formation posture to limit the upcoming cavalry charge.

Wugang car has been known in ancient times, and the "Art of War" cloud: "There is a towel and a cover, which is called Wugang car". But the one who really used Wugang to form a restraint cavalry tactic was Wei Qing, the general of the Western Han Dynasty.

Wugang is two zhang long and one zhang wide, and the body is covered with cowhide rhino armor, with a spear tied on the outside and a large shield on the inside. Some of the Wugang cars also had shooting holes on them.

In peacetime, the Wugang car can transport soldiers, grain, grass, and weapons. When fighting, several Wugang cars can be fastened together to become a strong fortress.

Wang Fei counted in his heart, Wang Jue, Gao Xiangui and Zhang Dejia each brought a carriage, and Ashina Xiaoyun brought a total of two carriages.

The carriages used by these children of the official eunuchs of the North Court are naturally extraordinary, and they are much wider than the ordinary carriages of ordinary people's homes. The five troikas can barely be connected end to end to form a line of defense.

After Wang Fei made up his mind, he shouted loudly: "Deputy Chen, surround the carriage into a circle, rely on the chariot formation, and use bows and arrows and horizontal knives against the cavalry!" ”

After hearing Wang Fei's suggestion, the deputy Chen team, who was frustrated, thought about it for a while, and felt that there was indeed no better way at present, so he divided ten tooth soldiers in the southernmost part of the circle and asked them and the panicked domestic servants to set up the carriage on the east side of the court in a circle formation as soon as possible.

While the carriage was being placed here, the tooth soldiers of the brigade escorted Xiao Langjun and the little ladies and slowly retreated into the car formation.

The circle surrounded by five carriages was still too small, and dozens of people were crowded into it, and the foals such as Bai Lianju and Qingmoqi could not accommodate it.

Ashina Xiaoyun suddenly had an idea, patted Bai Lianju, and explained to it: "You also go east, go home directly." When people see you, they know there's something going on here! ”

Bai Lianju didn't know if he really understood, but he immediately ran in the direction of Tingzhou City.

Seeing this, Ashina Wenxia and the others also let their mounts run eastward. Whether the mounts will be able to return home and bring reinforcements is left to fate.

After Bai Lianju and the others ran out, a few arrows were sparsely shot in the forest, but they didn't seem to care very much.
