Xiong Dewu, the commander of the Hailing battalion under the command of the Dingzhou Mountain Moving Division, a general, a salt worker, brave and ruthless, the general of the Mountain Moving Division is a henchman of the mountain wind, and the five thousand battalions of the Hailing Battalion under his command are all Fuzhou Hailing people, but most of them are salt workers. The reason for this is because they have a very brave battalion commander.

When Xiong Dewu first entered the army, the most difficult thing was to take off his shirt, go into battle shirtless, and lead a group of outlaws to rush to the front, as the arrow of the whole army, therefore, as Xiong Dewu's personal soldier casualty rate is the highest, but it is also the most respected in the battalion, because it is impossible for non-brave people to stand by Xiong Dewu's side and become the arrow of the whole army.

The more battles fought, the guards around Xiong Dewu changed one after another, and the scars on his own body were also layered, but his fame in the mountain moving division was also getting bigger and bigger, and he was more and more reused by the mountain wind.

Today, the marshal and his wife came to the battlefield in person, and although Tienig didn't suffer any losses before, he really didn't take any advantage, and now it's his turn to move the mountain, and the mountain wind naturally wants to show his hand, if it weren't for Li Qing's strict forbiddenness to the main general until the last moment, he must not personally go into battle to fight, he really wants to carry a mace to fight the striker in person, but sending Xiong Dewu should also be able to successfully realize his combat intentions.

A phalanx at the top of the Hailing camp is headed by Xiong Dewu, the outer layer of the strict phalanx is charioteers, spearmen and shield bearers, and the inside is the knife and axe hands and crossbowmen, in the voice of the sentry officer's command, he marched forward with neat steps, Xiong Dewu, as the battalion commander, carried a big axe in one hand, and a shield polished extremely sharp on all sides in the other, and pushed forward firmly, beside him, followed by a signal soldier with several small flags of different colors pinned to his waist, Xiong Dewu needs to use him to carry out the necessary coordination and command of the whole battalion.

In the battle between the barbarians and Li Qing's Dingzhou army, the most headache for the barbarians was how to break the opponent's dense infantry battle formation with cavalry, especially after the Dingzhou army equipped the chariots loaded with 100-round crossbows into the infantry ranks, the Dingzhou infantry became their nightmare. If you have a heavy cavalry like the Great Chu Palace Guard, you can break through the opponent's formation, but with the wealth of Great Chu, it only forms a heavy cavalry of thousands of people, this thing is a money-burning goods, how can the barbarians afford to play.

"Yalith!" Boyan summoned a general and pointed to the Dingzhou army that was approaching step by step, "Have you seen the siege vehicles on the other side?" I'll give you five thousand cavalry, you rush out and destroy them, remember, don't try to break their infantry phalanx, because he can't gnaw down in a short time, and once they are entangled, it will be difficult to get out, what you have to do is to do everything you can when their infantry rushes to our first line of defense, their attack vehicles are left with very little cloud vehicles, so that in the next offensive and defensive battles, we can use the breastwork, fortresses, and trenches to inflict a lot of damage on the other side, but if the other side still has enough cloud vehicles, If you suppress us from above, we will lose a lot, you know what I mean? ”

Ya Lisi, who is about forty years old and has a beard for a year, nodded fiercely and said, "My lord, I understand, destroy the cloud car." ”

Boyan nodded with satisfaction, "After destroying the cloud car, lead your troops to come back from the left side around the frontal battlefield." ”

The long-range catapults hidden in the barbarian positions began to fire stone projectiles, and the eight-bull crossbows also broke through the air with a scream, and more powerful crossbows and ballistas also roared. The Hailing battalion shouted, the shield bearers raised their shields high, the iron shields formed a screen in the air, and the charioteers on the periphery tried their best to shrink their bodies after the chariot and pressed against the wall of the chariot, while the pikemen raised their spears in unison and kept shaking them in the air.

The stone bullet fell down, the stone bullet weighing more than ten pounds came from a distance, but its strength was not supported by manpower, if the bullet body happened to fall in the crowd, it would immediately smash out a vacancy, fortunately, although the shield held high could not block the stone bullet, but it greatly consumed his initial force when hitting, and the barbarians did not polish these stone bullets because of the relationship of time, so the damage caused was still within the controllable range.

As soon as the opponent's catapult moved, the Dingzhou soldiers on the cloud cart immediately locked the opponent's position, and the improved four-shot eight-bull crossbow placed on the cloud cart quickly adjusted the angle, aimed, and in the grid, a spear-like eight-bull crossbow arrow shot out to suppress the opponent. At the same time, strong crossbows and ballistas also began to shoot condescendingly at each other from the cloud car.

The Hailing camp kept showing casualties, but it didn't stop at all.

"Attack!" Yalith drew his scimitar and struck his horse with a backhand whip, and five thousand cavalry rushed out of the position, and by this time they were still five hundred paces away from the Hailing camp, just enough for them to increase their horse speed above this stretch. Attacking the opponent's chariot with strong horsepower and killing a bloody path with human lives is the most helpless way for the barbarians to deal with this turtle-like infantry queue.

If the opponent is not the Dingzhou army, or if the opponent's armor is very poor, the barbarian cavalry can also take the art of running and shooting, and constantly use bows and arrows to kill the enemy on the periphery, but now the opponent's soldiers are generally equipped with iron armor, and the cavalry's bows and arrows are shot at them, causing extremely limited lethality, and in long-distance shooting, the Dingzhou army's bows and crossbows have caused greater damage to the barbarians, one is because the Dingzhou soldiers have used a large number of armor-piercing arrows, and the other is of course that the barbarians cannot equip the soldiers with iron armor on a large scale like Dingzhou. Many soldiers could only wear leather armor, and the barbarians who were good at riding and archery actually found that their superb archery skills had become a joke in front of the opponent's sophisticated equipment. Like letting the barbarians be frightened by the crossbow, what is the accuracy of the head, it is purely a large area covering the surname blow, using his super high rate of fire, terrifying strength, to sweep away the living things in front of you, you have been practicing archery for more than ten years, there is no chance to perform in front of him, because he shoots hundreds of shots, and the most brilliant archer of the barbarians can shoot three times in a row is already a rare master.

Under the cover of the firepower on the position, Yalisi's five thousand cavalry lined up in several long dragons and rushed over, such a formation is of course a hundred rounds of crossbows to guard against the terror of Dingzhou, try to reduce the attack surface, so that the opponent's strike surface is reduced, so that the threat of the hundred rounds of crossbows is minimized.

Within a hundred steps, there was a buzz, and the vehicle-mounted hundred-round crossbow began to fire, and the cloud-like short crossbow shot out flat, and in an instant, in front of the human eye, it was all this kind of short crossbow, Rao is Tienig had seen the power of the hundred-round crossbow many times in the battle some time ago, but now every time he saw it, it still made him tremble, although he thought about this weapon for a long time, but Dingzhou did not equip him.

The strikers of Yalith lowered their bodies as best they could, raised their shields, and tried their best to protect themselves and their horses, although they knew that this was just a matter of doing their best, and that they were at the mercy of heaven, and that under such a dense fire, the chances of not being shot were not high, except for the blessing of God. Whether it is a man or a horse, it is enough for them to die in a charge of such speed. Fortunately, the 100-round crossbow was troublesome to load, and under the rapid impact of the cavalry, there was basically only one chance to fire, and then it became a simple city wall for the opponent's foot soldiers.

The strikers fell to the dust, but they used their bodies to consume the most powerful blow of the opponent, and after this round of shooting, Yalith's cavalry quickly formed into a straggler formation, the front team wielded heavy weapons, hammers, mallets, and iron bones, while the cavalry behind bent their bows and arrows and shot upward.

Behind the Hailing battalion, under the banner of Li Zida, Li Qing frowned slightly, there is indeed no shortage of generals who are proficient in the art of war among the barbarians, and they can deal with it well and minimize the losses.

It's coming!

The phalanx of the Hailing battalion quickly closed, the chariots came together, the spearmen behind the chariots raised their spears in their hands, the charioteers drew their short knives, ready to cover the spearmen, and behind them, the crossbowmen began to shoot at their opponents.

With a loud bang, the barbarians who rushed to the front of the chariot swung their heavy weapons, either smashed them on the chariot or flew into the spear formation, knocking down the soldiers of the Hailing battalion, and they themselves kept falling under the crossbows fired from the back of the chariot. These barbarians who flew out of their heavy weapons did not ride their horses around in both directions as usual, but violently lifted their horses and leaped high in the roar, although the galloping horses were afraid of the sharp blades in front of them, but under the compulsion of the knights on their backs, they still had to leap high, and even men and horses rushed forward to the hell of death. In the air, the knights drew their scimitars from their waists and fell down with red eyes, as long as they were not stabbed to death in the air, they still had a chance to swing their knives.

The outlaw style of play made the battle enter the most cruel time at the beginning, blood fell from the air, most of the barbarians who flew into the air could not wait for the time to fall, they were stabbed to death by a long spear volley in the air, thrown out of the formation, and the lucky ones who fell down only had the opportunity to swing a knife, and they were hacked to death by the long-waiting sword and shield soldiers, but the war horses that fell down heavily caused a lot of casualties in the Hailing camp. Up and down the chariot, the front soldiers, and in a short time the corpses of the people and horses filled up a thick layer. Gaps appeared in the dense formation.

Xiong Dewu was furious, seeing that the speed of the other party's galloping horse had slowed down, he immediately ordered, and the Hailing Yinghuo land that was gathered together was divided into dozens of small phalanxes, and rushed into the other party's queue.

On the siege platform, the soldiers steadily suppressed the rear cavalry that was still rushing forward.
