Volume 2: Sili Lieutenant's Department Chapter 125: The Formation of Spears

The smoke and dust were billowing out, and the eight hundred men and horses, under the leadership of Gao Shun, rushed towards the direction of Tianwangzhai.

These 800 people are all the belongings of Lei Heng, the head of Green Forest Village, and now they have all been brought out by Gao Shun. It's no wonder that since Gao Shun was inadvertently rescued by Chen Nuo last time, Chen Nuo intended to promote him to a 'hundred generals' and let him join the army, so he agreed to Chen Nuo. And since he promised to lead his troops to help him, he naturally couldn't break his word. In addition, Lei Heng's eldest brother Lei Gong went to Tianwangzhai to pass on the Black Mountain Order, Gao Shun analyzed with him that his eldest brother Lei Gong might be in danger, so Lei Heng didn't say a word and let Gao Shun bring this team out.

Speaking of Gao Shun, although he temporarily lives in the green forest, he has no consciousness of mixing the green forest at all. In Lei Heng's words, he is not here. Therefore, Gao Shun was unwilling to do the business of robbing houses in the green forest, but would rather personally lead the team to hunt animals to survive. Of course, it was precisely because Gao Shun came out that time that he didn't want to encounter the Xiliang messenger halfway that he caused the next trick. And because of this, he happened to meet Chen Nuo, and there was a later story.

Now, he came from the green forest village with a double mission, looking at the Tianwang Village all the way, and he didn't dare to stop all the way. It's no wonder that because of his trauma, after returning to the green forest village, he lay on the sickbed and fell asleep for two days and three nights, delaying a lot of footsteps. And he, since he had agreed with Chen Nuo, he must not lose his trust in others, so after waking up, he immediately asked for people and horses to go straight to Tianwangzhai. However, although Chen Nuo walked two days before him, in fact, the delay was not too much. After all, Chen Nuo was not in a hurry to go to Tianwangzhai at all, so he hurried all the way, and Chen Nuo had to take into account the men and horses who were separated from the mountain road when he was marching, so the two days of delay were actually only one day under normal circumstances. And Gao Shun, he led the men and horses to gallop forward, and he came overnight, and the time gap between them was not too far.

Tianwangzhai is not far from them.

Gao Shun was on horseback, and finally let out a long breath. However, he had just finished his breath, but he was startled by the sound of horses' hooves and people's shouts in the distance. What's going on, could it be that something happened to Tianwangzhai? Just when Gao Shun was guessing, the scout in front of him rushed back frantically, shouting from afar: "Oh no, it's Xiliang riding, it's Xiliang riding!" ”

Xiliang rides, these three words are enough to deter everyone behind Gao Shun. You must know that since Dong Zhuo's rebellion, the people of Xiliang have often haunted the Guanzhong area, and Dong Zhuo has committed a lot of heinous crimes. One of them is said that one day is the February Society Festival, and people from near and far gather in the house, and after Dong Zhuo's subordinate generals heard about it, they immediately set up troops to kill the people under the society. The man was beheaded on the spot, and the woman was taken away as a slave and a maidservant, and when she arrived in Beijing, she said that she had obtained it from the thief, and shouted long live. Of course, this is the cruel side of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang people, and about the power of Xiliang riding, not to mention anything else, as long as you have a little knowledge, you also know that this Xiliang riding has been dealing with the Qianghu people all year round, and the ability of a body was also practiced at that time, can it not be powerful? Speaking of which, although they have only heard of these, they have not really come into contact with Xiliang Ride, but in their bones they are inexplicably afraid of 'Xiliang Ride'.

"Hiss!!"

Among the eight hundred people, except for Gao Shun and one of the scouts, there were only two or three other horses, adding up to only three or five horses. These three or five horses, facing the cavalry brigade that was about to run in Xiliang, seemed to invisibly make them feel their own weakness. As a result, the horses began to lift their hooves restlessly, flick their tails, twist their necks and twist their necks, and immediately became unusual. Thinking about it, even the unwitting beasts were scared like this, and the villagers who were walking behind Gao Shun were afraid that there were few who were bold.

Someone was loose, and their hands began to tremble.

"High ...... Big Brother Gao! ”

Even the voice ...... They all trembled.

Letting others call him without interest, he Gao Shun frowned, slowly picked up a gun in his hand, and did not speak. This gun, although it is made of iron and wood, is an ordinary spear, but when it is rotated in Gao Shun's hand, it seems to have vitality, and there is a pop sound between the swings. In fact, Gao Shun also heard something wrong at this time. The sound of horses' hooves is still miles away, but it is not difficult to judge by the density of the hooves, and there are as many as 100 horsemen who come, and before 100 horses, there are many foot soldiers.

The cavalry was running wildly behind, and the foot soldiers were running in front, and Gao Shun could quickly judge what was going on.

"Big Brother Gao...... Yes, it's the West Cool Ride! Here comes the brigade of Xiliang cavalry! ”

At this moment, the scout had also run in front of Gao Shun and reported to Gao Shun what he had seen. Gao Shun nodded, and then said, "I'm afraid it's not just Xiliang riding, right?" When the detective heard this, he immediately patted his head, and then said, "Yes! Brother Gao, there are still a lot of people running desperately before and after this group of Xiliang horses, they rush all the way to kill all the way, as long as the people who fall are all killed by this group of Xiliang horses along the road. ”

Gao Shun frowned when he heard this, could it be that Tianwangzhai had already fought on his side? Before he could speak, everyone in the green forest village behind him also coaxed, and they all exchanged their heads and ears, each expressing their own opinions. Someone stepped forward and asked Gao Shun tentatively, "Gao ...... Brother Gao, I'm afraid that this Xiliang ride will collide with us without a gang. Brother Gao, what are you going to do? ”

"What else can I do, fight with them!"

"But don't you hear that they are all on horseback, and if they rush towards us on horseback, who of us will be able to stop them?"

"But we can't get to this point and avoid them, can we?"

……

The crowd was talking, and at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves striking the earth in the distance became closer. The smoke and dust on the ground seemed to be unable to withstand the blow of this time, and began to gather uneasy. He Gao Shun suddenly got off the horse and shouted: "Get off the horse and prepare to form a formation!" ”

Formation?

Of course they hadn't played with it, and they really didn't understand it. But hearing Gao Shun say this, they can only do what he wants. Immediately he got off the horse, and the foot soldier pressed forward. Speaking of which, he Gao Shun had encountered Xiliang riding, and he also knew in his heart that Xiliang riding was powerful, so of course he didn't dare to be blind to Xiliang riding. He deeply knew that the Xiliang cavalry was already close at this time, even if he still wanted to avoid the edge of his Xiliang cavalry, he was afraid that it would be impossible. Since it is a narrow road encounter, then it can only be the pursuit of the victory of the brave.

It's a pity that both of them encountered the mountain road, and they couldn't put his 800 people away at all, but at the same time, they didn't use the opponent's cavalry to attack. He knew that all he could do now was to try to block him for a while, as long as he withstood the first round of Xiliang's charge, then it would be much easier to deal with them, and he immediately had an arrangement.

Of course, the best way to deal with this rushing cavalry is to form a spear formation. It's just that, after all, they are from cottages, and it is already thankful that their stomachs can be filled, where is there any extra money to buy these blades. The most of what they hold in their hands are some sharp wooden sticks and bamboo battles, iron forks, knives and sickles are very few, as for the spears in Gao Shun's hands, there are no more than ten pieces in the whole village, and they are all dilapidated. Therefore, the formation of long spears can not be expected, and it can only be placed in the front with spears mixed with thin wooden sticks and bamboo battles, and those with short weapons are arranged in the back. Of course, there are not so many men and horses on the mountain road, and Gao Shun can still let the archers run up the mountain and let them release arrows on the mountain to do left and right flanking attacks. Of course, the extra people can also follow the mountain, and it is a big deal to carry some stones and the like as weapons.

"It's too late!"

The distance of several miles is far away, but it is nothing for Xiliang to ride, but the effort has arrived. And in between, there is not enough time to give Gao Shun to set up a formation. He set up three 'spear formations' here one after another, and with three hundred people, Xiliang rode over there with a group of defeated soldiers and ran to this side.

"Bouncing bouncing ~~~"

The horse's hooves rubbed the earth, and it shook.

"Ahhhh

Wherever Xiliang rode through, those defeated soldiers who couldn't run immediately became victims of Xiliang's swords and guns. After turning a corner, two or three fell in the blink of an eye. followed, and saw a group of defeated soldiers of no more than a few dozen running towards Gao Shun's 'spear array'. However, in an instant, the Xiliang riders behind this group of people had also rushed out one after the other. They grabbed them, frightened them, trampled them to the ground, slashed them with their blades, and screamed one after another.

Although they were ravaged under Xiliang's iron hooves, this group of people did not admit defeat easily, and those who could run would never fall easily. And it is precisely because of their tenacity that this group of Xiliang riders has driven such a long way. And although this group of Xiliang riders were running wildly, they did not use all their strength, and often wanted to catch and indulge, playing a game of cat and mouse with them. It is precisely because they have the mentality of this game that these people can still survive until now. Come to think of it, how can a man run, after all, he only has two legs, how can he easily outrun his four-legged beast?

Gao Shun finally understood it, and he, before standing in the formation, tightened the spear in his hand and prepared for battle.

When you get closer, people on both sides can see each other clearly.

First of all, the person who ran at the front of the group, because he glanced at Gao Shun, suddenly opened his arms and shouted: "Gao Zhuangshi save me!" Save me! ”

"Huh!"

Gao Shun, the bloodied man, couldn't recognize him for a while because he was far away, and he couldn't help but cry out in shock. However, Gao Shun couldn't recognize him, but the man recognized him at a glance. This person is none other than the person named Wang Wu in Hutou Village. Thinking about it, he and Zhang Si were ordered to lead the men and horses of Hutou Village at the same time to prepare to pick up Zhang Sheng and others on the mountain, and they didn't want to be rushed down from the mountain by Hu Chi'er's Xiliang people and horses halfway, and the people and horses were crushed. At that time, Zhang Si died on the mountain, and because the other party was too powerful, he didn't dare to take advantage of his edge, so he led his men and horses to defeat from the mountain. It's just that once his side was defeated, the Xiliang people didn't want to let them go, and really chased and fought fiercely, killing them all the way.

Come to think of it, there are hundreds of people and horses who came out of Wang Wuyi Road, and countless people were scattered along the way, and those who were killed were all along the way, which can be described as extremely embarrassing. This rush kill, starting from the second half of the night, until the sky just dawned, only to meet Gao Shun's team on the way. That Wang Wu, because Chen Nuo asked his name before, he also heard it on the side, and remembered it clearly, at this time, he suddenly saw him while fleeing for his life, and he suddenly woke up, thinking that it was him, so he called for help from him.

Wang Wu fled for his life here, and the Xiliang riders behind him came thirty or fifty horses one after another, and they suddenly looked up and saw Gao Shun and others blocking the road in front, and they were also slightly stunned. But they were only stunned for a moment, but they did not retreat because of this. They were still killing Wang Wu's Hutou Village all the way, and they also whistled all the way, held guns, and roared loudly at Gao Shun and others, nothing more than threatening Gao Shun and others.

Gao Shun, who was in front of the formation, although he didn't recognize Wang Wu and the others for a while, it didn't mean that he would stand by and watch. He immediately beckoned to them, and let an opening open next to him to let Wang Wu and the others in, and he didn't have time to elaborate, so he immediately commanded the people on the left and right to prepare for the battle.

Dozens of zhang away from the Xiliang cavalry rushing to the 'spear array', those who could run also ran in, and those who couldn't run were also sacrificed under the Xiliang iron cavalry. Gao Shun's battle formation is used for defense, of course, it is not good to rush out rashly.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, wash me out of the way in front of me!"

The people and horses behind Xiliang rode up one after another, and he didn't know the situation in front of him, so he shouted loudly from behind. And this group of Xiliang riders who rushed first, when they suddenly approached, suddenly saw that on this long road, there were actually people and horses like long dragons, not to mention hundreds of people. They met these hundreds of people and horses suddenly, and without any preparation, they couldn't help but feel worried in their hearts, and they slowed down for a while, and the reins in their hands couldn't help but tighten.

However, when they saw that most of these people were using bamboo sticks as weapons instead of spears to stab outside, they were stunned at first, and then laughed. This bamboo stick can kill a hairball man! Xiliang rode happily, and their hearts were relieved, and they no longer took these people in front of them in their eyes. At this time, in the eyes of Xiliang Qi, they seemed to be a group of ants. Under the spear and halberd, how can the ants have a chance to survive? So, after they were stunned and stunned and delayed for half a breath, they immediately reacted accordingly.

"Kill!"

The horses' hooves splashed, their spears danced, and they screamed and slew.

"Boom~!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ……

The centaur roared, like crushing ants, into Gao Shun's 'spear array'. Ten zhang, eight zhang, five zhang......

"Lift!"

Gao Shun raised his gun, and at the same time shouted that the others would raise the 'gun' in their hands. Then, another drink: "Thorn! "One by one, the 'spears' were pierced, and one after another horses crashed into it with a hurricane. Blood rushed up, and the centaurs let out a trembling scream.

"Canopy!" "Peng!" "Peng!" ……

Before the 'spear' pierced into the belly of Xiliang's horse, although it caused a series of blood to soar, three or five fast horses were immediately killed. However, because the momentum of the horses was too great, and although his side was in formation, he did not have a good shield as a defense, and he quickly suffered a big loss. You know, although these horses were stabbed by a gun, it is good to say that they were killed on the spot, if it was because the 'gun' was blunt, the stabbing was not enough, and there was no one blow to kill, then not only could not stop the impact of the opponent's horse, but also because the horse was in pain, but it stimulated the horse's wildness even more. And these horses are already very aggressive, and when you add the pain and madness, it is even more difficult to deal with.

Soon, Gao Shun and the others tasted this consequence. These horses, because of the pain, roared wildly, using the belly of the horse, with the front hooves, looking at Gao Shun's 'gun array' and rushing around. For a while, it was like a big stone flying in a stone thrower, looking at the 'spear array' arranged by Gao Shun and bombing indiscriminately. Boom, boom, the crash of the horses, the neighing of the crowd, it was one after the other. Three or five horses directly smashed into the eyes of the 'spear array', and soon many people were killed on the spot because the 'weapons' in their hands were unfavorable and they couldn't dodge.

Without much effort, Xi Liang rode more than a dozen fast horses here, but he quickly broke through a gap. Once there is a flaw in the 'spear array', the array will not be a formation, and soon, these people will be disturbed by the Xiliang cavalry who rushed in, and the first 'spear array' will also be broken. However, it doesn't matter, Gao Shun still has a second 'spear array' waiting for them. When this group of Xiliang people lost more than a dozen horses in exchange for the second formation to break through, the third 'spear formation' was also waiting for them.

In fact, the advantage of cavalry is to rush and charge, and once they are slightly blocked, then their advantage is lost. What's more, on a mountain road like the one now, it is not at all a place for him to ride in the west, once he rushes up and does not withdraw in time, he will quickly tie them down. And often at this time, even if they have horses, they are useless, but because the target is too big, they become the target of public criticism.

And Gao Shun also used this 'spear array' to block these Xiliang horses one by one, once the Xiliang horses were fetted down and their advantages were limited, the disadvantages on his side naturally became an advantage invisibly. Of course, these alone are not enough, those men and horses who were ambushed on the mountain before took this opportunity to throw stones and arrows, and the combination of arrows and arrows gave Xiliang a hard blow.
