Chapter 52

On the battlefield, Otsuki Castle's troops showed the advantage of training.

The big moon soldiers launched at the same time under the unified password, Qi used the shield to shake the opponent's shield a little, and then desperately used the short sword to insert it from the gap, and I didn't know whose arm it was chopping down, the opponent's shield fell to the ground, and the big moon soldier took the opportunity to slash in with red eyes, and attacked the first two or three rows of enemies, because the spears of these rows of soldiers were all on the shield of the big moon people, and the Yanqi people hit out a burst of flesh and bones and sword clashing sounds, and they all screamed and fell to the ground.

The soldiers of the Great Moon, who didn't have time to draw it back, had the Yanqi people who pulled out their short swords to engage in battle, and quickly slashed and killed the short swords stabbed in all directions, and the blood instantly gathered into a river on this front.

When the Yanqi people came back to their senses and drew their spears back, after the soldiers of Otsuki City had already withdrawn their shields for protection, the first batch of Otsuki soldiers who rushed to kill immediately retreated to the last row, and the soldiers behind took the position of the first row.

Sima Dan counted it, and the first wave of attacking soldiers suffered less than ten casualties, which can be described as a complete victory.

Sima Dan changed the order again, the war drums sounded rapidly, and the soldiers of Dayue City slowly retreated ten steps back.

The Yanqi people were recovering their formation, and they did not catch up for a while, they were furious, and seeing that the brigade that had been at the forefront of the soldiers had been wiped out in the blink of an eye, more than a hundred people, they struck the shield with spears, roared across the blood line, and pressed on the Otsuki soldiers.

Rumbling, the big shields of both sides were put together again.

The Yanqi people pushed forward like crazy, wanting to use the advantage of being outnumbered and overwhelming to break through the phalanx of the Great Moon soldiers.

Suddenly, the slogan changed, and the large array of the Great Moon soldiers cracked several gaps, and the Yanqi people and horses fell into these suddenly appeared gaps like their hooves, and the Great Moon soldiers on both sides suddenly jumped out, and their weapons greeted the enemies trapped in the formation, like a tiger's mouth that suddenly closed, and cut them into pulp with a scream.

When the Great Moon soldiers "closed" the gap again, the Yanqi people didn't dare to push forward for a while.

The javelins and arrows on both sides were once again used intensively, and the soldiers who had not had time to raise their shields fell to the ground.

Besieged by an enemy who was several times larger than his own cavalry, although the Dayue soldiers maintained their morale under the maintenance of middle-level officials, they were unable to absolutely break through the opponent's infantry formation, Sima Dan ordered to retreat slowly, and the hill behind him could be used as a temporary support, but there were still several miles to go.

******

The Yanqi people also saw Sima Dan's intentions, today's advantage is not only the strength of the troops, but also the support of the cavalry, so that the Dayue soldiers will not dare to let go of the attack, so that the infantry formation on the side can maintain the formation, with the advantage of more people, and have been pressing the Dayue soldiers.

But they don't know when Otsuki's cavalry will appear, and now is the best chance to wipe out the opposing infantry in one fell swoop.

Duo Yan couldn't help shaking his head beside Liu Kangzhi, "Your infantry formation is not as good as my ten warriors, and your gold coins have made much greater contributions for you than these soldiers who are inferior to pigs and dogs!" ”

Not only Liu Kang, but the Yanqi generals beside him were so angry that they couldn't make a sound, but they couldn't stop exhaling.

"Haha!" Duoyan disagreed, laughing.

Those who followed Liu Kang were all young and strong main battle factions in the army, and now their eyes were all on Liu Kang, full of injustice.

Of course, Duo Yan also felt this hostile momentum, and he looked at the Yanqi generals coldly, "Hmph! The gold coins you paid today have been contributed by the bald son, and you were looking for us to deal with Rouran, so now Uncle Ben is going back to our palace, and I killed a few singers yesterday, if I can't change it better today, be careful that I go to the palace to find it myself! Ha ha! Boys, go, go back! ”

The generals of Yanqi were furious, and some of them had drawn their swords in their hands, but the eunuchs beside Liu Kang hurriedly stopped, "Now that we are fighting against Da Yue, do you want the army to be in turmoil?" ”

So none of the generals dared to move, and could only watch as about 200 bald soldiers walked away.

******

The shouts of killing became louder and louder, the infantry on both sides of the Great Moon Yanqi were still at a standoff, the Great Moon soldiers slowly retreated, and every time the Yanqi soldiers chased close to hand-to-hand combat, the Yanqi soldiers had to leave dozens of corpses, and the soldiers of the Great Moon City also began to have casualties expanding.

The Yanqi cavalry on both flanks continued to disturb, and the long arrows were shot into the Dayue infantry formation in the air, but these cavalry came and went like the wind, and the effect of using long counterattacks was very small.

"Ryo!" With a bang, the two forwards joined together again, and both sides tried to press down the opponent's shields so that the back row of the team could stab forward.

The order of the big moon soldiers was clear, and everyone shouted hard together, so that the Yan soldiers took a step back, so that when they took a step back, the pace of each person was fast and slow, big and small, and the shield was not tight, and the spears of the big moon soldiers were like poisonous snakes stabbing in, and they stabbed the opponent's forward one after another.

At this time, the Yanqi cavalry on both sides suddenly launched, and when the land of Dayue lost its vigilance for a moment, they rushed to the infantry formation and charged head-on.

The Otsuki soldiers' arrows were already limited, and they were about to raise their spears when the first wave of the enemy's cavalry charge roared desperately.

There was a commotion when the three sides of the enemy's Otsuki infantry formation landed, and the soldiers on both wings hurriedly pointed their spears in the direction where the cavalry was rushing, but these cavalrymen all pulled their horses' heads high, revealing the iron armor on the chests of the horses, and the strong momentum crushed the defenses of the Otsuki soldiers, and for a time I don't know how many Otsuki soldiers were crushed to death under the horses, and the flesh and blood were blurred.

Sima Dan hurriedly gave the order, and under the hoarse shouts of a hundred people, the Dayue infantry shouted in unison, bravely using the fallen men and horses as obstacles to the cavalry that rushed with spears.

The horses of the Yanqi cavalry were blindfolded, but the neighing of the same kind still disrupted the pace of the horses, and the horses jumped uneasily.

The javelins of the Otsuki soldiers shot out like a forest, and the cavalry at close range were shot one after another, and in the blink of an eye, both sides of the infantry formation suffered heavy casualties, and the screams were endless.

The Yanqi infantry in front of them did not dare to oppress the Great Moon Soldiers too much, although the Great Moon Soldiers were retreating, but they continued to pierce the spears of the Great Moon Infantry into the shields, and the blood stains that the Yanqi people stepped on became thicker and thicker.

Sima Dan ordered loudly and ordered people to hold down the position, but it was still quite far from the hill, and it would take a long time to retreat there. He saw that the enemy's cavalry had begun to withdraw from the melee, detoured, and regrouped, and after they had withdrawn some way, and lost the cover of the corpses of men and horses, they would charge again with all their might, and charge repeatedly.

He made a rough estimate and by this time had lost about two hundred soldiers, several ten-commanders and one centurion.

Sima Dan's heart was in a hurry, watching the soldiers facing the line of life and death, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, he turned around suddenly, just to see a little light on the hill, a little light flashed a few times, he waited for a while, that little light flashed a few more times, as if repeating some information.

******

Xiao Min and Zuo Yong followed the cavalry of the brigade and headed west, she kept an eye on the signals from the spies in front of her, according to those signals, she used the banner to direct the speed of the cavalry, Zuo Yong followed suit, and he could also read the flashes coming from a distance.

There are two contents:

1. The number of casualties of the Otsuki infantry.

2. The distance of the Otsuki infantry from the hill.

Zuo Yong was uneasy, "Military Division, the number of casualties is too many, too fast, and it may not be able to hold up the hill, should we hurry up?" ”

"If you speed up now, everyone who dies will die in vain!"

"What about the Prince? He's under siege. Zuo Yong was a little anxious.

Xiao Min hesitated for a while, cold sweat was already on his back, "He can protect himself......"

******

Another wave of cavalry charges arrived, and the Otsuki soldiers resisted desperately, but the phalanx was already in chaos when the wings were full of flesh and blood, and behind them was the endless plain, and the survival instinct stimulated their desire to turn back and flee for their lives.

At this time, even the forward place has lost its advantage over the Yanqi infantry, the two armies are facing each other, momentum confidence is very important, the Otsuki soldiers are losing confidence in victory, and the forward position has begun to be confused.

Sima Dan was not on the horse, at this time he stood on the shoulders of the two personal soldiers and shouted: "We must not give up, if the big array disintegrates, no one can escape the pursuit of the cavalry, there is only half of the hill left, give me the top!" ”

He suddenly remembered Zhuge Sheng again, why did anything he had taught before seem to expect what he would encounter? He never taught himself anything about the Spring and Autumn Zuochuan, so he was afraid that the emperor would have other ideas, but his words and deeds at that time now seem to have deep meaning.

Sima Dan pulled out his longbow, his eyes blood-red.

Sure enough, I saw a big moon soldier turn around and run, and the soldier behind him was hesitating, and the centurion next to him had already stabbed the deserter in the chest.

Sima Dan's heart jumped wildly.

At this moment, a soldier in the last row turned to run away, it was just a young man under twenty years old, crying and dancing, and fled from the army like a half-madman.

The image in Sima Dan's eyes was dyed crimson.

If the formation collapses, everyone will die.

The arrow whizzed out of Surla's hand, pinning the deserter to the ground.

Sima Dan and all the officers shouted at the same time: "Desertion is a capital crime!" Capital offense for desertion! ”

******

Zuo Yong was anxious, "Strategist, give the order quickly!" They couldn't hold it anymore. ”

Xiao Min gritted his teeth, "They can't stand it, at least they can lead the large army to the bottom of the hill, that's what I want." ”

Zuo Yong was dumbfounded, "That...... And what about the prince! ”

"If he wasn't there, how could the other party fall for it? He has exposed himself to the hosts according to his plan, and the plan is half done......"

Zuo Yong was speechless, "This ...... This ......"

Xiao Min felt a stomach ache, and his heart was beating sore, "If you want to make a big deal, how can you ...... Is there any reason not to take risks? So that the soldiers will be convinced...... Feel relieved...... I have my own score! ”
