Chapter 70: The Great Array of Rejecting Horses and Retreating from Elite Horses

The hammer in his hand flew up and down, like a dragon soaring into the sea, and the cold light emanated from the hammer, Li Zhi and Qin Shuang took turns to fight, constantly fighting with Zhang Meng. Wang Xu stood in the distance, his eyes flashing; Pay attention to the battle situation on the entire battlefield; Now that there is no one of the eight thousand elites, he is about to rush out of the military formation and kill the barracks, he is anxious in his eyes, although he wants to rush up to help, but he is powerless, just his own martial arts, rushing up is also to die; I could only stand aside and stare dryly.

In the military formation, Li Zhi, Qin Shuang, and Zhang Meng fought more and more fiercely, and the battle was inseparable, and the battle had entered a white heat; Although Zhang Meng is infinitely powerful, it is rare to win in the face of the joint attack of Li Zhi and Qin Shuang; When fighting, he also had to be careful, often when the hammer was smashed at one person, the other person would inevitably attack from the side, so that he had to put the hammer on defense; But if the twin hammers are dispatched and the force is small, it is difficult to cause damage to the two people; For a while, the three of them fought equally.

Wang Xu was very surprised, there was still someone who could fight with Zhang Meng to a draw, although it was two to one, it was really not easy, you must know that Zhang Meng could destroy a murderer with an army of 1,000 people with the strength of one person, and he could fight with this kind of murderer, and his martial arts were already first-class.

"Lord, the formation has been set up," Sun Yu's voice came from behind.

Wang Xu looked behind him and was immediately overjoyed, pointed to the three people in the battle, and said hurriedly: "Sun Yu, hurry up and take a hand and capture those two generals."

"Lord, it's too late, the spear array has been broken, and the enemy is about to kill, so quickly retreat to the barracks."

Sun Yu pulled the reins of Wang Xu's sit-down war horse, and the spear was pumped hard at the back of the war horse, and the war horse ran to the barracks in pain.

Wang Xu returned to the barracks, Sun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered several lieutenants next to him: "Quickly Mingjin recalls Zhang Meng, and you all withdraw to the barracks with me."

"No".

The gong sounded outside the battlefield, and Zhang Meng's hammer shook a move, finding the opportunity to retreat. Li Zhiqin saw that Zhang Meng was going to run, where was he willing to let go, and bullied him to attack again.

Zhang Meng grabbed the horse's belly and retreated sharply, shouting: "You two thieves, why am I, Zhang Meng, afraid of you, just because the lord is Mingjin, let's fight another day."

With that, he pulled the reins of his horse and ran towards the barracks.

At this time, the 8,000 elites had been wiped out, and only Zhang Meng fled back to the barracks; Qin Shuang laughed loudly and shouted: "Brothers, the enemy army has been defeated, give me a reward for killing it, and reward Wang Xu for capturing him alive."

"Wait!".

Li Zhi waved his hand to stop the soldiers who were about to rush forward to kill, and then drove the war horse to the front of the army, looking at the countless small military formations in the barracks, his brows furrowed slightly.

After a long time, Li Zhi looked at Qin Shuang and asked, "Qin Shuang, do you recognize this formation?" ”。

Qin Shuang's eyes narrowed slightly, looked ahead carefully, shook his head and said, "Déjà vu, I can't remember clearly." Li Zhidao: "This is the horse rejection array created by the spear god in his early years, although the power is not large, but it has a miraculous effect against the cavalry, it is laid in the way of the Bagua Array, but it is not a Bagua Array; You see, every small array of several zhang square seems to be unremarkable, but if someone who does not know breaks in, he will be shot by the archers in that small array on the spot; The most terrifying thing is that there is one of these small formations every few zhang, which can support each other, and once they break in, they will immediately be attacked on all sides, and the situation is bound to be dangerous."

Qin Shuang suddenly realized, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong, and said, "But I don't look like a horse rejection array." Qin Shuangyi pointed to the large array and said: "The so-called horse rejection array, when the bow and arrow are the best attack weapon, but at the same time, the archers are also the weakest, so a large number of sword and shield hands must be used as a cover, and the large array can be perfect; But there is no sword and shield hand in this formation, which shows that the people who set up the formation are also not proficient in learning, and if our army rushes to kill with all its strength, it will definitely win! ”。

"Big brother, give the order to rush into battle."

Li Zhi's eyes flashed, staring at the horse rejection array in front of him.

After a long time, he waved his hand and said: "No, although the horse rejection array is full of loopholes, it is also not allowed to be Xiaoxu, killing a thousand enemies will definitely damage eight hundred; It's not worth it! ”。“ Is that what to do with them? ”。

Li Zhi snorted coldly, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Let's withdraw from the army for the time being, and let them taste my cavalry formation in the future."

After a pause, Li Zhi ordered: "Order, the army retreats thirty miles and goes down to the village." "No". Qin Shuang and Li Zhi waved their big hands, and tens of thousands of elite riders instantly retreated backwards in an orderly manner, without the slightest disorder. After a while, there was not a single cavalryman standing in the same place, and all that was left was corpses and blood all over the ground.

This is the strength of the cavalry, if you can fight, you can fight, if you can't fight, you can run, so the cavalry and infantry fight, if you are not caught in an ambush of the infantry or are blocked in the formation, under normal circumstances, the cavalry is invincible. Wang Xu was dumbfounded in the horse rejection array, the cavalry is strong, coming and going like the wind, if his army was also equipped with war horses, it would have withdrawn to Languan a long time ago; Why is it a big defeat today?

"Killed 8,000 Lao Tzu and ran away like this?". Sun Yu said: "The lord doesn't have to be angry, today is a surprise attack by the enemy, and it is already a great deal of hardship for us to be able to repel them; As for this account, let them settle it with them at the next day."

"Hmph, in the coming day, I will slaughter those two thieves with my own hands" Zhang Meng was angry and said viciously.

Huang Quan said worriedly: "My lord, Li Zhi and Qin Shuang are the fierce generals under the prince who are second only to Aguche, not only strong in martial arts, but also well aware of the art of war and resourceful; We can't be small." "Well, Huang Quan is right."

Wang Xu said: "Order, clean up the battlefield immediately; The army is stationed in Wanling County, as long as we have the city in hand, we are not afraid of them coming to attack again."

"No".

Under the command of Huang Quan, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and lost 5,000 spearmen and 3,000 sword and shield men in this battle; And after counting, the enemy only died 3,000 fine horsemen, this ratio is not small, the ratio of 3:1 made everyone bow their heads, Zhang Meng's teeth itched, but he also had to admit that the enemy's cavalry had strong combat effectiveness. Although the loss was great, it was not completely without gains, at least three thousand sets of armor and three thousand spears were obtained, which was undoubtedly a relief for Wang Xujun, who was in dire need of weapons and armor, plus the eight thousand soldiers who died, now there are a total of 11,000 sets of equipment.

At Wang Xu's signal, these equipment were changed to the soldiers, and now, except for the 2,000 spearmen who did not wear armor, the other soldiers of the 15,000 army were all armed.

Today, the strength of Wang Xu's army is as follows: 8,000 pikemen in armor, 3,000 sword and shield men, 2,000 archers, plus 2,000 spearmen without armor.

The soldiers were busy all morning, and it was almost noon when they were busy, and all 11,000 corpses were dug and buried on the spot; After that, the army continued to march forward and stationed in Wanling County, twenty miles away.
