Chapter 62: The Contest between the Two Armies (1)
"Wu Qi's Wei Wushu has won more with less many times, and has made great achievements, although there is a slight gap between my own foot soldiers, but it is easy to deal with the forbidden army of Zhou State!" Jiang Fan said and raised his right hand and flipped it: "Na, it's that simple." www.biquge.info When their cavalry rushes into our infantry phalanx, we will erect a shield array with the strongest soldiers, and the soldiers behind will stab through the gaps in the shield array, so that their momentum will be contained, and once the cavalry loses speed, it will be like a fish without water, and we can only slaughter it! ”
At this time, several other groups of foot soldiers formed a larger shield formation with shields, surrounded all the cavalry that had stopped, and then they could be captured in one go, and it was not impossible to capture them all alive! Hey, hey, hey! Jiang Fan laughed wickedly as he spoke.
Ji Peng laughed with him: "Hahaha, General Jiang is worthy of everyone who trains foot soldiers!" It seems that the Zhou Forbidden Army is going to make a fool of itself today! ”
Jiang Fan suddenly put away his wicked smile, and showed a rather tangled expression on his face: "The Duke of Eastern Zhou said that if the general's foot soldiers defeated the forbidden army, he would give the forbidden army as a trophy to the general." You say, should I want such a ragged team, or not? ”
Ji Peng blinked his eyes and said: "Of course I want to, but I don't want to go back to be a soldier, but to turn him into a slave and give some to all the nobles, this is a great favor!" You must know that the forbidden army is all the children of the nobles of the Zhou family, and with such a slave, how beautiful it should be! ”
"Yes, yes, that's a good idea! Hahahaha! ”
The two of them laughed heartily again.
There were still two hundred steps to go before the phalanx of foot soldiers, and Wei Yan raised his right hand to stop the team. Lan Peng said in a low voice: "Looking at the other party's formation, it is to form horns with two parts to support each other!" It's a strategy to defend and counterattack. ”
Wei Yan sneered: "If we are also foot soldiers, it will be difficult to eat them in one bite; But now that we are cavalry, he is asking for hardship when he disperses, just to give me every opportunity to break through. ”
Ji Dong sent two chamberlains, each holding a flag, to the front of the teams on both sides, and asked the generals on both sides if they were ready to stop, and after receiving a positive answer, he pressed down the flags in his hands violently.
Wei Yan shouted in a deep voice: "Order, Lin Chang attacked, and went straight to the right phalanx." Beat the drums! ”
Suddenly, the drums shook the sky.
A squad on the far left of the forbidden army team moved, and the leader was none other than the commander Lin Chang. He pointed the stick forward in his hand and shouted, "Kill! ”
The 100 soldiers behind him followed and shouted: "Kill! The sound was uniform, resounding over the arena.
The cavalry squad gradually accelerated, and when it reached a distance of about fifty paces, the speed had reached its peak, and the whole squad was like a sharp arrow from the string straight into the right infantry phalanx. After a few breaths, the two teams collided with each other.
The spectators of the battle were all calm and stared at this cavalry squad. Ji Gen's heart suddenly chuckled, the confidence he had been full of before was gone, and his face had turned iron-blue: Why does this cavalry look quite elite? That indomitable momentum and uniform movements, how can it be like a rotten soldier! Can our phalanx of foot soldiers stop it?
When the two armies intersected, Wei Yan ordered again: "Order, Chen Feng will attack and take the left phalanx." ”
With the herald's loud shout, another hundred-man cavalry team, led by the commander Chen Feng, rushed out of the forbidden army phalanx and shot towards the infantry phalanx on the left side of the reinforcements.
At this time, Lin Chang's squad had already rushed into the phalanx on the right, but the foot soldiers did not make contact with the cavalry, and quickly dispersed a passage, revealing the black shield array behind. The shield array consisted of a hundred large shields, fifty paces wide in a horizontal row, facing the direction of the cavalry's advance, less than twenty paces from the head of the cavalry squad.
Lin Chang was happy when he saw it, the other party's countermeasures were in General Wei's calculations, and he had already made targeted arrangements, how could it be difficult for me to stop? The corners of his mouth pulled out a sneer, and he shouted: "Around!" With that, he pulled the reins of the horse, but the speed of the horse did not decrease, but it deviated from the straight line and galloped diagonally to the left. The soldiers behind followed closely with their horses, and the whole team formed an arc that folded to the left.
In the blink of an eye, the high-speed galloping war horse approached the shield array, and it was about to collide head-on, but at this moment, it successfully turned around, and passed in parallel about five steps in front of the shield array, and continued to move forward at high speed. The soldiers behind the shield array had long been ready to stab their horses from the gap, but at this time, they were too far away to attack, and they watched the cavalry squad roar past them.
On the edge of the shield array was a team of foot soldiers about twenty people thick, and the road ahead was as if it were dead. Lin Chang was at the head of the cavalry squad, and he raised the wooden stick and crashed into it without hesitation. With the momentum brought by the high-speed gallop of the war horse, his eyes widened, "Ah! The shout was like thunder on the ground, and the wooden stick held high in his right hand slashed down violently. The two foot soldiers who were close hurriedly raised their sticks to block, only to hear the "click" and "click" two sounds one after another, the two wooden sticks were broken in response, and the two foot soldiers flew into the air under the huge impact, and smashed into the team of foot soldiers behind, directly smashing down a piece.
Lin Chang never stopped, the war horse galloped, the wooden stick in his hand flew up and down, the blocker was invincible, and a passage was broken out of the crowd, and the enemy formation was revealed in a few breaths. The soldiers behind him followed closely, removing all the obstacles in the path.
After rushing out from the infantry phalanx on the right, the direction in which the cavalry squad was running was exactly the infantry phalanx on the left, and Lin Chang led the cavalry squad to rush straight over without hesitation. The phalanx of foot soldiers on the right rushed through each other, and none of the hundred-man squad fell off their horses.
At this time, Chen Feng's cavalry squad just reached the highest horse speed, and also went straight into the left infantry phalanx.
On the front and on the side, two cavalry attacked at the same time, and the foot soldiers in the phalanx on the left were in a panic for a while; The strong men holding the big shields were also flustered, they could cope with the front and the side, and they didn't know how to place the shields in their hands; The commander of the squad was suddenly blinded, and even forgot to issue an order, and of course, he no longer knew how to command. In the hurry, some people put their shields facing forward, and some people facing their shields to the side, and as a result, there are gaps and flaws everywhere.
Two cavalry squads rammed into the left infantry phalanx at the same time.
Wei Yan saw the right time and said loudly again: "Order, Gao Yang attacked, and went straight to the right phalanx." ”
Lin Chang and Chen Feng led two cavalry squads in the shape of a long snake formation, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, into the left infantry phalanx, crackling and rushing, the infantry in the way were either knocked down, or knocked away, or automatically out of the way, and the chaotic shield array became as easy as a piece of paper to be broken through. Without any decent resistance, the leaders of the two cavalry teams came to the center of the phalanx, and they were about to collide, the two looked at each other, and at the same time pulled the reins, Lin Chang's mount turned to the right, Chen Feng's mount turned to the left, and with the team behind him, he drew two arcs in the infantry phalanx, and continued to kill forward, and it didn't take much effort to reveal the formation.
The two cavalry squads continued to turn, and soon turned their direction to the infantry phalanx on the right. At this time, Gao Yang's third cavalry squad also came to the fifty paces of the right foot soldier phalanx, so the three cavalry rushed towards the right foot soldier phalanx at the same time, the momentum was violent, the murderous spirit was awe-inspiring, and there was a great posture to swallow this part of the foot soldiers.
