Chapter 51: The Bandits' Infantry Phalanx
Hua Xiong saw that Chen Hao came out with someone to answer him, and immediately threw Zhang Shuo and Yang Hongtao on horseback to the ground, and rushed to the battlefield again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
At this time, Liu Ji was on the stone wall of the checkpoint and shouted loudly to Hua Xiong: "Be careful of the general led by the bandits, his martial arts are no worse than Cheng Yi!" ā
After Cheng Yi and Hu Hai, the third master of Hades, fought together, Cheng Yi found that the martial arts of this bandit leader were not weaker than himself, and immediately used all his strength to entangle Hu Hai, as for the dozens of cavalry led by Hu Hai, they had to rely on Han Tao, Liu Bi, Dong Xian and Lei Bo to clean up.
Cheng Yi knew that under the command of the lord Liu Ji, except for Hua Xiong and Chen Hao, the two super generals, he and Le Yi's martial arts were almost the same, and the skills of other generals were much worse than his own.
Under Cheng Yi's full outburst, Hu Hai can only deal with it with all his strength and cannot be distracted, you must know that Cheng Yi's force value is 78 points, and Hu Hai's force value is only 76 points, if Hu Hai is a little negligent, he will not be able to take care of his life, as for the 46 cavalry he led, Hu Hai has no time to take care of it.
During the battle between Hu Hai and Cheng Yi, the afterglow of his eyes swept away, and he found that the 46 cavalry he led had been killed a lot by several other cavalrymen of the official army.
Hu Hai immediately shouted, and the iron lance in his hand made a false move to Cheng Yi, and then turned his horse and fled to the direction of the camp under construction, and shouted at the same time: "Retreat!" All retreat! ā
At this time, there were only more than 20 cavalry left of the 46 bandit cavalry who followed Hu Hai, even if Hu Hai did not give an order, they were all ready to turn around and flee.
Hearing Hu Hai's order, the remaining bandit cavalry immediately abandoned the four killing gods of Han Tao, Liu Pi, Dong Xian and Lei Bo, and fled back with Hu Hai.
Cheng Yi saw that the bandit leader who was fighting with him suddenly turned his horse and fled, and immediately urged the horse to chase after Hu Hai, while Han Tao, Liu Pi, Dong Xian and Lei Bo also chased after the fleeing bandit cavalry.
In the process of Hu Hai riding back and fleeing, he saw that his own foot soldiers had lined up in a dense formation, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although several cavalry of the official army were strong in martial arts, but after all, the number was small, and it was impossible to break the dense formation composed of hundreds of foot soldiers!
Immediately after that, Hu Hai made a gesture to the remnants of the cavalry behind him, and when Hu Hai and more than 20 cavalry approached the bandit foot soldiers to form a phalanx of about 40 paces, Hu Hai and more than 20 bandit cavalry suddenly turned around and urged the horse to the left side of the phalanx.
In this way, Cheng Yi's five people, who were chasing Hu Hai and the remnants of the bandit cavalry, were directly exposed to the front of the bandit foot square, and at this time, Cheng Yi and the five people were about 50 steps away from the bandit foot square.
"Shoot them with arrows!" The leader of one of the bandit foot soldiers phalanx shouted loudly, and then more than seventy bandit archers standing in the phalanx shot the arrows in their hands at Cheng Yi and the five people.
In the front row of the bandits' foot square, there were about seventy bandits, all of whom were holding rectangular shields more than one meter high, and between the shields and shields, there were spears with only cold light, these spears were the weapons of the second row of bandit foot soldiers and the third row of bandit foot soldiers in the phalanx, and the bandit archers were in the fourth row.
Cheng Yi, Han Tao, Liu Pi, Dong Xian and Lei Bo, seeing the bandit cavalry chasing in front of them suddenly turned, they all grabbed the reins of the war horse, and several of them just kept their attention on the fight with the bandit cavalry, and did not find that the bandits' foot soldiers had been discharged into a neat phalanx, but a few people couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the phalanx composed of giant shields and spears, especially Cheng Yi, who was born in the border army.
Such an infantry phalanx is one of the easiest phalanxes for the Great Jin Border Army to deal with the steppe nomadic cavalry, and I didn't expect that the bandits in Hadesling could also put up such a phalanx.
The arrows shot by more than 70 bandit archers instantly covered the five of Cheng Yi, and then the five of Cheng Yi blocked it with the weapons in their hands, and none of the arrows could fall on the five of them, but the war horse under Liu Bi's crotch was shot with an arrow, but fortunately, the injury was not serious.
At this moment, Cheng Yi and the others heard the sound of a gong in the direction of the checkpoint, and Cheng Yi suddenly shouted: "Retreat!" Withdraw the level! ā
Cheng Yi and the five of them immediately turned their horses and retreated to the first checkpoint of Weihu Village, and Hua Xiong, who had just arrived here, snorted coldly at the phalanx of bandits, and also turned their horses and retreated to the checkpoint with Cheng Yi and the five of them.
Liu Ji stood on the stone wall of the checkpoint, and saw that the 6 generals under his command had retreated, and finally let go of his hanging heart, just now Liu Ji saw the bandit fleeing cavalry, turned the direction in front of the bandit foot square, and did not rush the bandit foot square, so he immediately ordered someone to beat the gong and let Cheng Yi and them retreat.
Standing on the stone wall of the checkpoint, Liu Ji saw the phalanx composed of bandit foot soldiers very clearly, just wanted to break through the combination of giant shields and spears, maybe Cheng Yi and they would have to pay a considerable price, and even if they killed a few generals, they might not be able to break through the phalanx of bandit foot soldiers, after all, Cheng Yi and their numbers were too small to give full play to the group charge advantage of the cavalry.
Hua Xiong and Cheng Yi rode back to the first checkpoint of Weihu Village, Liu Ji had already greeted them behind the wooden gate of the checkpoint, and when Hua Xiong and they retreated, they also gathered 14 dead bandit cavalry horses and brought them back, as for the other dead bandit cavalry's war horses, they ran with the defeated bandit cavalry.
"Haha, that's good! Not only did he kill dozens of bandit cavalry from Hades, but he also captured two bandit leaders from Hades, and he also got back so many war horses, this is our first victory! Liu Ji said to Hua Xiong, Cheng Yi, Han Tao, Liu Bi, Dong Xian and Lei Bo with a smile on his face.
Cheng Yi said at this time: "It's a pity that we didn't take the opportunity to directly defeat the bandits' infantry phalanx, I really didn't expect that the bandits in Hadesling also knew about the infantry phalanx of the Great Jin Border Army, and they made it decent." ā
Hua Xiong said disapprovingly beside him: "What if the bandits of Hadesling put up the infantry phalanx of the Great Jin Border Army? If it weren't for Lord Gong Mingjin's order to withdraw his troops, Hua Xiong would have been able to break through this infantry phalanx in Hades Ridge with a single horse! Lord, it is better to let Hua Xiong attack again, and his subordinates will definitely be able to break through the infantry phalanx of the bandits in Hades Ridge! ā
Liu Ji shook his head and said: "I don't want my generals to take such a big risk, after all, the infantry phalanx of the Great Jin Border Army has made many Hu cavalry hate the front of the formation, if any of you have an accident when you rush into battle, I will regret it!" ā
