Chapter 192: Dogfight (2)
In the face of Li Gengyun's change of formation, it not only surprised the people in the room, but also surprised Duguke.
The White Lotus Sect's charge is a concentrated large-area charge, so for the Northern Yuan archers, it is equivalent to a moving live target, and one round is a piece. But Li Gengyun is now dividing the team into two left and right, and it can be seen at a glance that this is a long snake formation. The large phalanx of nearly 10,000 people suddenly turned into two long snakes, and the people in the ranks hugged each other tightly, and after a rain of arrows from the archers, they turned into four columns and continued to charge. In this way, after repeated three times, the corpses of the White Lotus Sect members who fell to the ground were actually only a few people.
The archery of the Northern Yuan Archer is a range attack, if the White Lotus Sect's attack phalanx is still according to the original situation, it will inevitably suffer heavy losses, but today's long snake formation also makes the archers' attack range very narrow, and those White Lotus Sect members who only attack the center point will be shot. And those people are not stupid, before the rain of arrows falls, they use their clothes or scarves to wave in the air, and those arrows rain to the ground.
Dugu Ke saw the White Lotus Sect's charging formation, and he was also smiling, what he thought in his heart was that this Li Gengyun was not a wasted person, and at the same time, on the battlefield, he had not met a decent opponent for a long time, and this Li Gengyun might be the first.
The purpose of coming to Jiangzhou, Duguke was very clear, on the one hand, he wanted to get rid of Bai Chongyang's power in Jiangzhou, and on the other hand, he wanted to sabotage Li Gengyun's alliance in the south. Before coming to Jiangzhou, he specially met with Baili Xi, and the two had a long talk all night, basically counting what might happen in Jiangzhou in the future. Although there will certainly be variables, this variable should not be too different from the results. And Duguke is confident that he can deal with Li Gengyun.
Listening to Baili Xi mention that Li Gengyun's life is very hard, Duguke also understands a little, this is to remind him that Li Gengyun is not simple, judging from the previous situation, Li Gengyun did not have anything brilliant, but judging from the current marching formation, it is enough to prove that Li Gengyun's vision is accurate.
"Why didn't Mr. Li use the long snake formation at the beginning? This way we will lose less! Ding Yao was a little puzzled in his heart, he was very surprised by Li Gengyun's change of formation, and at the same time, he seemed to blame Li Gengyun for why he didn't use it at the beginning, but didn't use it until after two hundred and fifty steps.
"I'm too lazy to explain to you, do you think I'm the only one who will change formation?"
Li Gengyun didn't say much, but he had already made it very clear that he would change the formation, so Duguke would definitely change the formation. When charging, it is exactly about three hundred steps, and the range of the Northern Yuan archers is two hundred steps, so relatively speaking, the lethality is not very large, but after entering two hundred and fifty steps, it is basically within the range of the Northern Yuan archers. Therefore, Li Gengyun chose to change the formation at this time, in order to reduce the range of being shot.
In terms of marching formation, the people in the room are basically at the level of half-hangers, and the best may be Huaishui Sanding and their three brothers. However, they only thought of what Li Gengyun meant when he said this, if he changed the formation, Duguke would also change the formation, and that's it.
"Prepare to meet the enemy!"
"Drink!"
After a few rounds of arrow rain attacks, Dugu Ke saw that there were not many corpses of the White Lotus Sect members who fell to the ground, and naturally knew that he would have to fight hand-to-hand in a while, and now it was too late for the archers to change formations, so he also gave up the idea of letting the archers change formations, and instead ordered the whole army to prepare to meet the enemy.
"The Holy Maiden has descended, and the White Lotus has been reborn! The red sun is gone, and the white sun is in full swing! ”
The vanguard of the White Lotus Sect was already only a few dozen steps away from the shield soldiers of the Northern Yuan, and they shouted the slogans of the White Lotus Sect in their mouths, with weapons in their hands, and began to launch the final charge before the battle in groups of four.
On Duguke's side, after letting the archer release the last rain of arrows, he ordered to draw his sword and prepare for melee combat, while at the same time he held a sword in his left hand and grabbed a knife in his right hand, shouting loudly: "Long live Dayuan!" Kill! ”
"Kill!"
With Duguke's order, the four people in the center of the shield soldier directly gave way to a four-person pass, and Duguke actually personally led the heavy armor soldiers to face him head-on, rushing towards the White Lotus Sect's troops.
"Holy!" Li Gengyun was also surprised to see Duguke lead the team to charge in person, he also thought that Duguke would hide in the Chinese army and not come out, so he did not arrange for a master like Bai Baobao and them to mix into the team of the White Lotus Sect. Otherwise, he would definitely use the strategy of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and arrange a few people to directly take down Duguke, and then he would be able to use this to blackmail the Northern Yuan army. But it's too late, Duguke doesn't kill fools, if someone suddenly rushes out of the Linkou Inn at this time, then he will definitely know that it is aimed at him, so he will inevitably flee back to the Chinese army,
"White!"
Li Gengyun is now able to use the White Lotus Sect's army command orders freely, relatively speaking, these orders are replaced by some words, such as the previous "red and white", which means to represent separation and concentration. And now the word "white" alone means to move. These were all told to him by Bai Luojun when he was chatting with Li Gengyun in Xiangzhou, so he could easily and correctly command the White Lotus Sect's way of action.
"White!"
The herald roared, and immediately all the White Lotus Sect members immediately moved quickly, avoiding the edge of the heavily armored soldiers, and continued to charge forward.
"Very good, I know how to take advantage of the poor mobility of my heavy armor to avoid attacks, but don't be too happy, my archers are not just archers!"
"The rear army goes out to kill the enemy!"
"The rear army goes out to kill the enemy!"
Hearing Duguke's shout, the herald of the Northern Yuan also roared loudly, ordering the rear army to go out to kill the enemy.
"The heavy armor soldiers of the Northern Yuan Dynasty have poor mobility, and now they have broken out of the shield guard's protective circle, and the archers of the rear army do not look simple, this time the melee losses should be not small." Li Gengyun shook his head helplessly and said, "Actually, to be honest, for the Northern Yuan, our current combat effectiveness is indeed inferior to the other party, but if it is the real elite troops of our Great Song Dynasty, it may not be impossible to take them down!" ”
Entering this stage, even if Li Gengyun can change the formation again, it will be useless, after all, there is no formation to speak of in close combat, the most critical problem is that the White Lotus Sect itself only occupies the advantage in numbers, and the others are at a disadvantage, so after Li Gengyun and Bai Baobao analyzed the battle situation, they asked: "Shouldn't you go to fight?!" ”
