Chapter 29: The Great War (8)

Reinforcements, reinforcements......

The Wuhuan soldiers, who were chased like lost dogs, were disengaged, their eyes were hollow, they could not see any hope, and they only had the thought of fleeing quickly.

Just when they were desperate to the extreme, just when they were already numb, they unexpectedly saw reinforcements, and they actually saw the troops sent by Nanlou to meet them.

The soldiers who fled like lost dogs began to shout loudly in ecstasy, and their steps as they descended the mountain were thirty percent faster than before.

Qiu Liju looked at the reinforcements in the difficult forest under the hillside, and a relief finally appeared on his face, which was no longer bloody.

Lord Nanlou really kept his word, and really sent troops to meet them.

Although the reinforcements appeared a little late, it made Qiu Liju feel a kind of happiness when he almost drowned.

After a faint sense of happiness, Qiu Liju felt even more miserable.

From the defeat to now, it is just over a month, and he and Zhang Chun's more than 20,000 men are actually left with only more than 1,000 men following behind him, fleeing for their lives like lost dogs.

At that time, he was the only one left among the three Lord Wuhuan at the time of the incident, and Wu Yan and Su Fuyan sacrificed their lives to cover his escape, exchanging their deaths for his escape time.

Although Qiu Liju felt sour in his heart at this time, and had a feeling of shame for Wuyan and Su Muyan, Qiu Liju quickly woke up from that kind of remembrance, and began to command his subordinates to sort out the formation, not to scatter the troops supported by Nanlin.

Nanlin saw Qiu Liju leading countless rout troops to run wildly, and he immediately knew it in his heart.

Behind Qiu Liju, Gongsun Zhan's cavalry must be chasing at this time, otherwise, Lord Qiu Liju would never be so embarrassed.

Thinking of the cause and effect, Nan Lin immediately shouted loudly: "Arrange the formation, the pikemen and shield bearers are at the forefront, and the heavy armored cavalry is in the center and slowly advances forward, and moves to the sides. A gap of twenty meters was left in the middle of the large formation, allowing the defeated troops of Lord Qiu Liju and Master Zhang Chun to quickly pass through our ranks. ”

Nan Lin is most concerned about Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's defeated army, many times the two armies do not necessarily meet each other to win or lose, and the factor of defeat is extremely crucial.

Once the defeated army breaks down the formation and makes the big array unsustainable, even if it is a strong soldier, it will fail.

Now Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's team are fleeing like lost dogs, and if they can't leave a passage, these soldiers will definitely add chaos to their team.

Nan Lin knew better in his heart that Gongsun Zhan, the famous general of the Han Dynasty he was facing at this time, had to pay attention to any details, whether he could escort Qiu Liju Zhang Chun back to his lair safely, and also to see what this blocking battle would look like.

After seeing the order, the soldiers in the Nanlin team immediately began to arrange a large array, revealing two passages with a width of more than 20 meters, allowing Qiu Liju and them to quickly pass through the large array.

The Wuhuan soldiers under Nanlin formed a large array under the arrangement of the general, although this large array does not seem to have too many rules, but this kind of large array is the most useful.

Most of the Wuhuan people in the Wuhuan country have lived on horseback since childhood, and most of their lives are based on grazing, and most of the modes of war are cavalry against cavalry, but what! As the Han people continued to integrate into the Wuhuan Kingdom, the population of the Wuhuan Kingdom continued to increase, and there were also battles between infantry and cavalry.

It is precisely because of this that the Wuhuan people will arrange a large array of troops like the Han people to resist the enemy's attack.

At the front of the row were a combination of pikemen and shieldmen, who lifted their shields at an oblique angle of about 40 degrees, which could not only resist the enemy's bow and arrow fire, but also insert them into the ground at the fastest time when the enemy cavalry rushed over.

When these shieldmen insert their shields into the ground, the pikemen behind them will immediately replenish the front, put their spears on the shields, and work with the shieldbearer to maintain the combination of spears and shields.

This combination of spear and shield is definitely a terrible nightmare for cavalry, if the cavalry rushes hard, as long as it is impossible to break up this combination at once, then, what awaits him is the fate of being pierced by a spear.

And if the cavalry gives up the assault and chooses to pass through the edge of the spear and shield combination, then the shield soldier's sword will cut off the horse's feet, and the cavalry will instantly become infantry.

Under normal circumstances, the cavalry dismounted was not weaker than the infantry, but after being arranged in a large formation, as long as the cavalry fell from their horses to the ground, then almost death awaited them, even for the generals with strong military values.

Although the Wuhuan army was also tired at this time, they were much better than the troops of Bhikkhu Liju, Zhang Chun and Gongsun Zhan.

In particular, there are some heavy cavalry hidden in the Chinese army, these dozens of heavy cavalry are the most powerful force under Nanlin at this time, if Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops rush over to break through from the middle, he has a great confidence that Gongsun Zhan's cavalry will not return.

Nanlin arranged the heavy cavalry troops to the position of the Chinese army in the middle of the road, and even had the idea of wanting to make dumplings for Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops.

Gongsun Zhan's cavalry troops came and went like the wind, if they really let their speed increase, if they really cut through his military formation, even if the troops under his command were several times that of Gongsun Zhan's troops, there would be a decline.

Qiu Liju saw Nanlin arranged like this, and he began to have some appreciation for Nanlin, who he had always looked down on.

Not to mention anything else, this kind of action that can open two huge openings in the big array for them to pass through is a kind of courage and the most effective plan.

Qiu Liju thought in his heart that most of the Wuhuan people were immediately men, and their personalities were even more rude, and they could think of such a way of arranging the formation in such a short period of time, and over time, this difficult forest would become an atmosphere.

Nan Lin's eyes had been watching the situation of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun's defeated army, and he was silently calculating the distance between Gongsun Zhan's pursuing troops and his troops.

As the brother of Lord Nanlou, Nanlin inherited the style of Nanlou in military strategy, hoping to minimize the losses of his troops.

Under the command of Qiu Liju and Zhang Chun, the defeated army began to quickly pass through the large array of difficult forests, and the slogan of 'capture Qiu Liju alive, capture Zhang Chun alive' behind them became clearer and clearer.

The sound continued to blow along the hot wind to Nanlin's ears, and Nanlin's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Nanlin knew in his heart that the time had come to be ashamed......
