Chapter 111: The Battle of Wuting

ps

A few days later, the mournful sound of the horn broke the calm of Wuting, and from the southern sky, a black oppressive cavalry slowly emerged. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tens of thousands of cavalry stood in formation, looking very majestic.

Begging Qiangui, bald and lonely, and Lu Su came to the front of the battle surrounded by their respective henchmen.

Except for Lu Su, both of them saw Wei Shuo for the first time, and they were both taken aback by his young appearance.

On the contrary, it was Lu Su, who had been gritting his teeth at Wei Shuo, if his eyes could kill, I am afraid that Wei Shuo would have died countless times.

The two sides didn't bother to speak, and they started fighting directly.

"Woo woo woo ......" The coalition army sounded the horn of attack first, and countless cavalry heard the sound and clamored one after another.

They raised their swords and spears to the sky and howled like wild beasts in a mad field.

This is a tradition handed down by the ancestors of the Xianbei people, and it is specially used to boost morale before the war.

Even though the two departments of begging and baldness have moved to the Central Plains for a hundred years, there are still some ancient customs inherited.

And howling before the battle not only boosts the morale of your own team, relieves the tension of newcomers, but also puts pressure on the opponent.

Sometimes when confronted with weak forces, sometimes when the army roars twice, the enemy is frightened and surrenders without a fight.

In the face of the imposing enemy army, the faces of the generals in Hexi did not change, and under the command of Wei Shuo, the army rushed out.

More than 15,000 Hexi soldiers slowly came to a place 500 steps outside the enemy army with neat steps, and formed a formation side by side.

Nine thousand spearmen were at the front, three thousand crossbowmen were behind, and the left and right flanks were supported by three thousand cavalry, a typical defensive counterattack formation.

A series of abnormal actions of the Hexi Army made the beggar Qiangui, bald Wugu, Lu Su and others puzzled and looked at each other.

"Tsk, what is Wei Shuo doing? Could it be that with its infantry it wanted to defeat the cavalry head-on? ”

"Oh, it's so thick!"

"Aha, everyone says that Wei Shuo is a famous general in the world, and I don't think that's it."

"Yes, yes, isn't it a mediocrity to have infantry and give up the benefits of the city without taking advantage of it?"

"In my opinion, our army will be able to crush its infantry phalanx with only one charge."

"King, hurry up and give an order, let the last general and others teach the ignorant and arrogant Hexi Army a good lesson."

Perhaps it was the Hexi Army that took the initiative to set up a position, which made the coalition generals feel that they were being despised and sneered at them one after another.

Compared with the excitement of the generals under his command, the begging and returning, bald and lonely, and Lu Su were very calm.

Especially Lu Su, he knew that there was a conspiracy early on, but because he had other thoughts, he did not alert his allies.

On the contrary, when he was begging for an inquiry, he pretended to be stupid and stunned, and tried his best to encourage him to go to war.

In the end, under the clamor of everyone and Lu Su's proclamation, the beggar Qiangui issued an order that he would regret in the future.

……

The coalition army attacked, and tens of thousands of cavalry launched a charge at the same time, with a terrifying momentum, trying to crush the Hexi army formation in one fell swoop.

In the face of the cavalry rushing wildly, the Hexi army, which had experienced the battle formation, did not change its face, but just held its spear tightly and stared ahead without blinking.

The shouts of killing rose higher and higher, and the earth trembled with the roaring hooves of the horses.

Near, closer...... The cavalry of the coalition army looked at the Hexi army approaching step by step, revealing a hideous face, roaring angrily while trying to urge the war horse to speed up.

In contrast to the noisy coalition forces, the Hexi Army was silent, and the silence unnerved the enemy.

For a moment, the beggar even wanted to order a halt to the attack.

When the cavalry rushed to two hundred paces in front of the main formation, the originally silent Hexi Army large formation finally moved.

A thousand light divine crossbows began to hunt the enemy cavalry in a frenzy.

The Divine Arm Crossbow is not as good as the large bed crossbow in terms of range, it is only about two hundred paces, and the real effective killing distance is within one hundred and eighty steps.

However, compared to the large bed crossbow, the Divine Arm Crossbow is lighter, and at the same time, due to the small pulling force, it is more conducive to solo operation.

When Wei Shuo led his army south, considering that the enemy army had a large number of cavalry, he was equipped with a large number of crossbows.

I saw wave after wave of crossbow arrows, like black clouds, one after another, pouring down towards the cavalry opposite.

Crossbows and arrows rained down on the cavalry formation, and screams rang out one after another.

The cavalry sprinted quickly, and the distance of one hundred and ten paces passed in the blink of an eye, and finally came within the range of the cavalry's bow and arrows.

The morale of the enemy troops, who had been somewhat sluggish by the crossbowmen, suddenly rose again.

Outside the Hexi Army's large array of arrows, the allied cavalry bent their bows and arrows, and thousands of arrows were fired in an instant.

is worthy of the grassland people, and the riding and archery skills are really not simple.

Dense arrows, like a curtain of rain, endless.

At this time, the inconspicuous paper armor provided key protection for ordinary soldiers, so that the Hexi army suffered fewer casualties under the enemy's bow and arrow strikes.

After the two sides have finished their own long-range strikes, they finally have reached the point of hand-to-hand combat, which is the key to determining the final victory.

The well-trained spearmen remained motionless, holding their spears firmly and keeping their eyes fixed on the enemy.

There was a loud bang, telling the shock of the war horse, and it hit the thick iron shield headlong.

Sigh Rhythm ...... The mournful roar of war horses resounded throughout the battlefield.

At the same time, countless spears pierced out from between the cracks in the iron shield. I only heard the continuous sound of puff and puff, and the enemy cavalry was constantly pierced by spears.

There was also an unlucky bastard, who did not die at the hands of the enemy, but was squeezed off his mount by his own people, and then trampled into flesh by the surging war horses, and the scene was extremely tragic.

……

Cavalry that has lost their sprint speed by a spear formation is greatly less threatening.

The spearmen, on the other hand, only had to repeat the same movements mechanically as they did in their daily training, easily taking the lives of one enemy soldier after another.

The beggar retreated to the rear, and when he saw that the cavalry charge was blocked, he couldn't help but become anxious.

"Quick, quick, rush up."

The two of them, the beggar Qiangui and the bald Wugu, kept shouting, hoping that the cavalry would break through the spear formation as soon as possible.

As cavalry generals, the two knew that as long as the infantry formation was scattered, they could only let the cavalry slaughter.

It's a pity that no matter how much they shout, their proud cavalry can't break through the spear array in front of them.

With the passage of time, the enemy and the enemy gradually became entangled, and the situation on the battlefield gradually became anxious.

During this period, Ye saw that he was still unable to repel the enemy's attack, so he asked Wei Shuo for instructions to dispatch the Modao team.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait a minute, the war has just begun, and the enemy has not yet reached the time of exhaustion."

"We only have one chance, we must wait for the best time before we can use the Modao, so that we can kill with one blow."

"The lord is wise, and his subordinates are taught."

Under the desperate sniper fire of the spearmen, the allied cavalry suffered heavy casualties, making the bald and lonely and begging Qiangui tremble in distress.

Not to mention that this battle was carried in the hands of the infantry, which really made everyone a little unable to raise their heads.

The two of them gritted their teeth and ordered the cavalry to continue to attack the spear array.

The Hexi Army relied on a strict formation and tried its best to prevent the Xianbei cavalry from breaking into the formation.

Seeing that the casualties of the spearmen were getting bigger and bigger, Wei Shuo, who was in command in the formation, saw that the spearmen were gradually exhausted, and knew that the decisive moment was coming.

Suddenly, Wei Shuo waved his hand, only to hear the sound of armor leaves, and a group of hoplites with bright armor and Mo knives lined up.

Hundreds of Mo swordsmen swept into the enemy formation like a gust of wind, and encountered the coalition cavalry unexpectedly.

"When the two strong meet, the brave wins!"

Wei Shuo raised his arms and shouted, Kang Long and hundreds of Mo swordsmen followed, advancing like a wall, and the Xianbei cavalry was vulnerable in front of the extremely powerful Mo Dao.

Under the Mo knife, everyone is broken!

The neat Mo knife hand was like a solid wall, and along the way, all the Xianbei cavalry who collided head-on fell into the corpse and separated.

Every time the knife is cut down, it is always split in half with the rider and the mount.

As a brave man, Wei Shuo threw away the Qi Mei stick in his hand, picked up the Mo knife and instantly turned into a life-devouring demon, and every time the knife went down, there was always a ground of minced meat.

Wei Shuo led the Mo Dao Hands to rush straight into the enemy group like a fierce beast, and where the Mo Dao in his hand passed, there was no one at all.

And the Mo Dao team under his command followed him like a wall, like a meat grinder, constantly strangling the enemy.
