Chapter 622: Pegasus Meteor
The location of the Xuan camp is ten miles away from the main camp of the Tiger Courage Army, and thirty miles away from the Domain Saint Pass, and the goal of the Xuan Army is to rush into Hu Xiao's Chinese army twenty miles away!
This is the first time that the Xuan army has officially fought against the Hu Xiao people, and some of the leaders of the Yin army, including Mu Yinfeng, have not fought against the Hu Xiao people before, and they are not the army responsible for border defense.
The legendary Hu Xiao people look like a group of half-orcs, strong, brave and cruel, so they all have a kind of fear from the heart!
The two armies were ten miles apart, and reached the distance of the battle, Tong Xiaofeng, who was at the forefront, gave the order to stop advancing, the military flag waved rapidly, the army slowly stopped, and the battalions and schools marched forward on horseback and surrounded Tong Xiaofeng's side.
Xiaobao, Tie Yi, and Danniang also rushed over from behind, and Tong Xiaofeng said to Xiaobao: "Emperor, we are here waiting for Hu Xiao's cavalry to come!"
When the two armies fight, it is not that tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of people will be entangled together and fight to the death, but that will only be a chaotic battle, and it will not even be possible to distinguish between friend and foe when they are fought! They should line up and call for formation, and the generals of both sides will come out and fight each other alone, and this is the best way to frustrate and kill the sharp spirit!
Hu Xiaoren doesn't understand this, they just rely on a fierce spirit to rush hard, anyway, their appearance is very different from the Central Plains, and they are not afraid of not being able to distinguish between friend and foe!
For ordinary enemies, this barbaric style of play is enough to deter people's hearts, but for troops like the Tiger Courage Army and the Xuan Army, this kind of mad dog-like rush is the best opportunity to consume the enemy!
It's just that time is a little tight, and it's impossible to arrange a large number of tripwires now, but the Xuan army has more powerful tools to deal with cavalry!
Except for the more than 20,000 cavalry, the rest of the people have already dismounted. Feng Lie ran to Tong Xiaofeng's side, half-knelt on the ground and said to him, "General, please allow my sixth battalion to fight!"
Tong Xiaofeng and Xiaobao looked at each other and smiled. The sixth battalion is also the camp of the beast hunters, but there are only more than 300 real beast hunters among them, and the remaining thousands are all selected from each battalion.
These people are personally selected by Feng Lie and Feng Huo, and their method of selecting people is very strange, not to see how powerful the overall quality of the person is, how strong the combat effectiveness is, but to meet one requirement, that is, big hands and big feet!
For such conditions, even Tong Xiaofeng felt a little strange, but Xiao Bao had seen the beast hunters fighting, and knew that their best weapon was the shuttle gun, and some people even fired three guns at once, which was more powerful than a bow and arrow!
Therefore, this requires hand strength and wrist strength, the bigger the hand, the more the power of the shuttle gun can be exerted! And the beast hunters climb the rock like walking on the ground, and the big hands and feet can grasp it firmly and step firmly!
Tong Xiaofeng smiled and said to Feng Lie: "General Feng, don't worry, let our first battalion brothers block the impact of Hu Xiao's army, and it's not too late for us to kill him again!"
Now Feng Lie has become a soldier, and the order and prohibition is what he has been learning these days, so when he heard Tong Xiaofeng's order, he had to step aside.
Tong Xiaofeng shouted at several colonel generals: "The first battalion and the second battalion block the enemy and break its momentum, and the third battalion and the sixth battalion attack, so we must ensure that no men and horses are left! The fourth battalion and the fifth battalion are all in the auxiliary formation, do you understand?"
"Understood!" the generals shouted in unison, and Feng Lie grinned when he heard that he was on the mission of the assault battalion.
Tens of thousands of soldiers lined up in a long line of defense on the wasteland, and standing at the forefront was a battalion of brothers wearing armor and holding shields, one of them had an empty hand and did not take anything.
Behind it are the archers of the second battalion, armed with processed bows, this weapon belongs to the middle of the bow and arrow, and there are many arrow slots on the bow body, usually three to five, and some people can even reach seven!
Behind them, there are the Xuan army armed with halberds and shuttle guns, they have no shields, so attack is their best protection!
"It's coming!" The yellow smoke in the distance became thicker and thicker, rolling between heaven and earth like dark clouds! Xiao Bao squinted his eyes at the countless galloping horses under the yellow smoke, and a helpless bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The first battalion and the second battalion were already lined up in front, quietly looking at Hu Xiao's cavalry from far and near, without the instructions of the commanding flag, even if the enemy stepped on them, they couldn't move!
Hu Xiao's cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the face on horseback was already clearly visible. Seeing that these people were just dressed strangely, and the appearance of the Central Plains people was not very far away, the Xuan soldiers were also relieved, and they did not have the fear when they heard the terrifying appearance in the legend!
Since everyone is human, these Hu Xiao people are just a little burly, not three heads and six arms, and they are all the same life, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
With Guan Yuanguang's shout, the brothers of the first battalion lifted up the back robe of Xuanjia, revealing the stone balls tied with hemp rope around their waists - Pegasus Meteor!
The rain of arrows in the sky flew in, and Hu Xiao's cavalry had already rushed to the range of the bow and arrow, and shot the bow and arrow in his hand at the Xuan army!
Guan Yuanguang shouted: "Shield!" The soldiers of the first battalion all raised the Xuan Shield and blocked it in front of them!
The first battalion stood in five rows, each about five feet apart, and the front row squatted down, so that the shield covered his whole person underneath, and the second row placed the shield diagonally on the head of the person in front, and the people in the back three rows only needed to put the shield on their head to prevent arrows from flowing above!
This is not the most terrifying point of the shield, the terrible thing about the shield is that its surface is polished very smooth, such a shield can not only make the weapon slip on it, but more importantly, reflect the sun!
Thousands of shields reflected the scorching sunlight of the noon sun on the opposite side of the galloping horses, with a burst of neighing screams, the front of the war horses raised their hooves one by one and lifted the people on horseback, about thousands of horsemen just like this, in the case of the enemy did not send an arrow, they had fallen under the horses in a chaotic formation, and were trampled under the feet of the horses of the companions behind!
The Hu Xiao cavalry in the back saw that it was not good, so he took off his shirt, revealing his hairy upper body, and covered the horse's head with his clothes!
At this moment, the second battalion of the Xuanjun army fired ten thousand arrows at once! Xiaobao also saw the power of this kind of Xuangong for the first time, one person could shoot at least three arrows at the same time, and the brothers of the 12,000 battalion shot more than 30,000 arrows in the blink of an eye!
Like the tactics of the Yin army, the Xuan army also shot arrows at an angle of 45 degrees, spared the cavalry at the front, and cut off the behind!
It's just that unlike the Tiger Courage, the cavalry that has been released in front of the Xuan Army will not let go! With Guan Yuanguang's shout, the shield array opened, and the brothers of the first battalion finally used their killer weapon, Pegasus Meteor!
Countless handballs tied to hemp rope spun and flew out, some directly hit the leg bones of the galloping horse, smashing it alive! Some wrapped themselves around the forefoot of the galloping horse, tightening the two legs together, and the stone balls were intertwined with each other, getting tighter and tighter, and almost in an instant the galloping horse tripped to the ground!
The cavalry on the horse was thrown to the ground heavily, some were smashed by the horse on the spot and couldn't get up, and some were smashed and just got up, but they heard a shout from the Xuanjun camp: "Kill!"
"Kill!" An earth-shattering cry came from the Xuan army, and those Hu Xiao people who were not afraid of heaven and earth suddenly rose up in a feeling of fear that they had never had in the battle against the Tiger Courage!
Some Hu Xiao cavalrymen who did not dismount but were turned in circles because of the horse startled before they could react, they were stabbed under the horse by the long halberd that rushed over!
There were also some Hu Xiao cavalry, although they avoided the light attack of the shield array, the Pegasus meteor, and the assassination of the halberd, but they still fell off their horses in a daze!
When they stood up from the ground in disgrace, they found that their war horses had been pierced into their heads or bodies by terrifying shuttle spears, and before they could raise their scimitars, a shuttle spear emitting cold light had already been inserted into his chest!
The killing sound on the battlefield shook the sky, just the first round of impact, Hu Xiao had already fallen tens of thousands of corpses! But for Hu Xiao's army, these are just a drop in the bucket, more people are still behind, but they are blocked by the arrow array that covers the sky, and they can't rush up in time!
For the Xuan army, this kind of untimely time has made time rich enough! Whether it is a halberd soldier or a pike spearman, every time they make a move, it is the enemy's life!
A total of more than 30,000 people rushed over, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of them had already fallen! The remaining nearly 10,000 people had been frightened by this methodical massacre of the Xuan army, and if it weren't for the wrong military flag, they would have thought that they had encountered the border army of decades ago!
With a mournful sound of horns, those surviving Hu Xiao cavalry finally breathed a sigh of relief and retreated! The Xuan soldiers did not pursue, and watched Hu Xiao's cavalry retreat to the camp of the army several miles away, and they themselves quickly returned to the camp of the Xuan army.
At the beginning of the battle, Hu Xiao left tens of thousands of corpses, as well as a large number of war horses, some of which were not dead, but only injured, or sound war horses, just because they had no owner, wandering on the battlefield and among the corpses, and let out one or two neighs from time to time!
When the brothers of the third battalion and the sixth battalion came back, they were all trembling with excitement! Through this battle, everyone has already seen that these legendary fierce Hu Xiao people are not so terrible! They will bleed and die the same, and the people of the Central Plains will not necessarily suffer losses when they fight against them, the key is to see how they fight!
Tong Xiaofeng looked at the excited expressions of his brothers, grinned, waved his hand and said to everyone: "Brothers, don't be in a hurry to celebrate first! Hu Xiaoren is not so easy to admit defeat, they are still unwilling to give up, at least one more impact! So our fight is not over yet, there are more Hu Xiao cubs, come over with their own heads and let us cut off! Mancang, Wencheng Dusk, the Xuan Spear Formation has been practicing for so long, let me see if the tip of your spear has become sharp! What are you waiting for? Use the spears in your hands to pierce the throat of Hu Xiao's cub!"
Seeing that the brothers' troops were fighting bravely to kill the enemy, the brothers of the fourth battalion and the fifth battalion, who had been scratching their ears and cheeks but did not dare to move, heard the order of the main general to call for battle, and they all let out an excited shout!
With the waving of the battle flag, 20,000 Xuan soldiers rushed out of the camp with their Xuan spears held high, and behind those corpses, they formed a circle formation of the same size!
Sure enough, as Tong Xiaofeng expected, those Hu Xiao people would not admit defeat so easily, and with the sound of the horn, the second round of attack began again! This time the rush was even more ferocious than just now, because in terms of numbers, it was almost twice as much as the first round of rush killing!
