Chapter 56: Ambush [Medium]

Li Cunhuan looked at the "bandits" who were preparing to attack not far away, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a sneer. In fact, Li Cunhuan is not afraid, he is afraid that there is no excuse to wipe out these rich people!

"Send someone to Miyun County for help!" Li Cunhuan calmly ordered.

Immediately, the three pro-soldiers galloped out, and the "bandits" could not intercept them at all, so they could only watch as the pro-soldiers who moved the rescue troops rode away.

"Lord, you Central Plains are too powerful, there are more than 1,000 robbers, I'm afraid the horse thieves on our grassland are not as good as the Central Plains!" Yelu Abaoji couldn't help but be stunned when he saw those bandits.

Yelu Abaoji is not afraid of these bandits, but there are only more than ten ordinary horse thieves on the grassland, and dozens of people are in a group, which is already considered a climate. As for the hundreds of people, it is even more powerful. As for a thousand, you have so many people, can you afford it? Horse thieves who usually have so many people are actually just a tribe pretending to be horse thieves. However, it is not uncommon for a tribe to temporarily change to become a horse thief, because the merchant will not trade with you after such a thing, which obviously outweighs the loss.

In addition, you can offend some big tribes that have friendly relations with these merchants, or support them behind their backs, and this tribe of horse thieves will die in the world. That's why Yelu Abaoji showed such great surprise.

Li Cunhuan sneered and said, "These people are just those rich people whose interests have been harmed!" ”

Speaking of this, the cold glint in Li Cunhuan's eyes flashed, "The loyal and filial piety army is arrayed!" Cavalry guards both wings! ”

"Array!" As the herald delivered the message, a rapid horn sounded, and the horn used by the herald was cast in brass, and the sound was long and clear.

Although it was only a winter's training time, the loyal and filial piety army trained hard, and soon arranged a five-person deep phalanx on the vast flat land in accordance with the training procedures.

"Walk along!" Duan Ziyao walked on the left flank of the phalanx and issued orders loudly. Along with his order, the heralds beside him immediately let out a rhythmic sound of horns.

"One-two-one, one-two-one!" The loyal and filial army roared and stepped out firmly. One person walking in steps will not give the other party any feeling, but when a hundred people are walking in steps, it is obviously a relatively big shock for an enemy who has no discipline. How much more are 400 men walking on foot?

The sound of loud and rhythmic footsteps sounded, and the spear had not yet been lowered, but it already gave the impression that an iron wall was advancing. The "bandits" couldn't help but slow down, and some even stopped and looked at their enemies in disbelief.

"This, is this really a recruit who has only been training for three months? How do I feel like they are the best soldiers for the rest of their lives! A rich man couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.

Although Li Hucheng was shocked, he was also a person who had participated in the army, and he quickly saw the weakness of this "veteran of a hundred battles". It was behind them and on both flanks that the huge spear was clearly not able to exert one percent of his original power in close combat. There is also the fact that the opponent is too dense, which is obviously the best target for crossbowmen.

"Don't worry! We haven't lost yet. Hmph, do they think they can deal with us with this gun forest? Come! Order, crossbowmen shoot me! Paralyzed, you are a turtle shell, and I will shoot you through a thousand holes. ”

Six hundred archers and a hundred crossbowmen rushed out at once, bending their bows and arrows, and winding the strong crossbows with the strong crossbows.

"Cloth tortoiseshell formation!" As soon as Duan Ziyao saw the other party's means, he immediately ordered.

The cavalry on both flanks also spread out to prevent being shot by the enemy.

The loyal and filial piety army used shields as armor, and the layers were arranged into a battle formation like a turtle shell. Sharp spears protrude from the gap between shields and shields, like the embodiment of a giant hedgehog and Xuanwu.

As soon as he saw the other party's methods, Li Hucheng immediately had no choice, but he still ordered the arrow to be released. In the face of the tortoiseshell array that seems to be an iron wall, the arrows and crossbows that shoot out, it is as if an ant shakes an elephant, it is so powerless.

Li Cunhuan's tortoiseshell formation is a tortoiseshell formation from ancient Rome, although it has the disadvantage of slow movement speed, but his defense is obviously very powerful, even a javelin cannot penetrate the defense of the tortoiseshell array. Probably only the heavy cavalry, known as the "heavy tank" of the Cold Weapon Era, was able to break through this formation head-on.

Although the "bandits" crossbowmen still attacked unrelentingly, the effect was obviously not very good. There was no impact other than the injury of two or three loyal and filial soldiers.

Li Hucheng had no choice but to command the infantry to kill, but Li Hucheng was not an incompetent person, he did not let the infantry fight with the loyal and filial army, but let the infantry fight. Although this tactic is very scoundrel, it also obviously makes the attack of the slow-moving loyal and filial piety army seem to hit the cotton, which is very uncomfortable.

Li Cunhuan sneered, "I didn't expect that the guy on the other side also had some ability, but that's it!" Abaoji, you lead the cavalry on the left flank to storm the enemy, and you lead the cavalry on the right flank to storm the enemy! ”

Yelu Abaoji and Sha Yuke answered, and immediately led the cavalry to charge. When the infantry forms a formation, the cavalry will feel helpless in the face of them, but when the infantry in the straggler state is obviously the favorite of the cavalry.

The loose formation, like a soft cake, gave the cavalry plenty of room to move.

"Quick! Hurry up! "The cavalry is not ready yet, Li Hucheng has already seen Li Cunhuan's movements. It is a pity that it is so difficult for the loose infantry to attack the enemy. Yes, now they have become the object of being harassed. Duan Ziyao is not a vegetarian, he can see Li Cunhuan's intentions at a glance and make the most correct action.

"Kill!" The cavalry flattened their rifles, erupted into a loud roar, and charged at the chaotic "bandits".

In the era of cold weapons, you will often find dozens of cavalry chasing hundreds of infantry. The most famous is undoubtedly the cavalry of the early Qing Dynasty, often chasing tens of thousands of Ming troops around the world with hundreds of horsemen.

These examples illustrate the great restraint of cavalry on infantry, not to mention the fact that Li Hucheng's soldiers were composed of private soldiers of various forces. Usually it's okay, but now when it comes to emergencies, it's like a messy pot of porridge.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!! Yelu Abaoji excitedly led the cavalry, drawing an arc of smoke and dust on the desolate land, and inserted diagonally into the flank of the chaotic "bandits".
