Chapter 51
Sima Dan watched the bald soldiers get closer and closer to the infantry formation, looking from the back, he felt that their backs were slowly rising, and they were also "short", their feet were slightly arched, and every step was as gentle as a tiger descending a mountain, but with infinite stamina, and suddenly there was a feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
Biting Dan suddenly shouted, rushed forward, and swung out with a huge shield in his left hand, the dense spear heads in front of the infantry formation were in chaos, and the giant axe in his right hand slashed obliquely, cutting off a piece of spear heads, pressing down a bunch of spear shafts, and a corner was missing in the center of the front of the infantry formation.
Not only the spears, but also the shield array in front of the formation was also messed up, and only then did the infantry in the rear remember to throw javelins.
The infantry in the rear was originally only on guard against the cavalry on both wings, and the bows and arrows were only guarded from a distance, and they definitely did not expect that a few people could shake this hundred-man phalanx.
The spear was swung open, and the junction of the giant shield flickered, and a throwing axe tore through the air, and flew in from the crack in the shield with a scream, bringing out a puff of blood and bursts of screams.
Then, the other bald warriors also let out a terrifying howl and rushed towards the wound of the phalanx that had been torn apart.
The giant axe that flew into the shield array split the shoulders and arms of the three soldiers, and the trained Otsuki infantry was about to fill the gap, when several shields in front of them were erected, but a scimitar slashed in from below, cutting off four or five human feet on the spot, and the Otsuki soldiers fell to the ground screaming.
A large moon soldier bravely stepped forward to fill his position, the shield in his hand was slightly crooked, and a feathered arrow swooped in, piercing his right shoulder, and he fell to the ground miserably, and the exposed gap attracted another feather arrow, widening the gap.
In this way, the heavy weapons of the ten bald warriors flew up and down, pulling out one shield after another in the thunderous killing sound, and the feathered arrows issued by a bald shooter in the distance pierced like poisonous snakes, widening the gap from time to time, and the front of the Otsuki soldiers could only hold on desperately, and the javelins in the back row were thrown in waves, but they were all blocked by the bald warriors with shields.
The Great Moon infantry did not retreat under the supervision of the hundred commanders, and they pressed forward with their shields, trying to fill the gap first, after all, there were many people, and the momentum under the concerted efforts was like a giant boat breaking through the waves.
A bald soldier slammed into the infantry formation with a huge shield in a frenzy, and in the crash the entire infantry formation was unexpectedly destroyed, and the two shields in front of him fell off the soldiers' own ankles, but the two stunned soldiers still did not wake up.
Countless spears stabbed at him, but they could not pierce the bald warrior's huge shield, and the bald warrior pressed forward with a heart-rending howl, and the long arrows shot from his shield into the formation, killing two more soldiers.
With a round of slashing and killing, more than a dozen people had fallen in the hundred-man infantry formation of Otsuki, but the blood accumulation was still trampled under the feet of the Otsuki soldiers who had advanced forward.
The bald warriors have won every time they shout to kill the formation, but they still retreat on the front line, because there are nearly 100 people in the Dayue soldier formation, and they are unable to resist no matter what, however, until now, the bald soldiers have not been damaged at all, and they are still repeatedly slashing and killing the soldiers in waves.
As long as the morale of the soldiers at the front of the infantry formation is broken, they will not dare to move forward, or even retreat and flee, so that the formation will collapse, and there will be zero soldiers, and there will be absolutely no chance of survival in front of these killing gods.
The soldiers in the rear of the infantry formation shouted slogans, adjusting their pace on the one hand, and reminding the soldiers in front that if they wanted to escape, they would have to face the tip of his spear, as long as everyone could work together and the infantry formation could be stabilized, they would have the ability to suppress the opponent.
But the attack power of the bald warrior was too strong, and the more soldiers fell, the more hesitant those who stepped forward to fill the vacant seats, and the infantry looked at each other and saw each other's hesitant eyes.
The advance of the infantry formation imperceptibly stopped.
There were only ten bald warriors left on the battlefield shouting and shouting in battle.
He Guo, who was beside Sima Dan, couldn't help but turn his horse's head and galloped towards the place where the two sides were fighting, and he raised his saber on horseback.
Duoyan and more than 100 other bald soldiers actually let out a burst of cheers, which were also like laughter and scolding, and no one wanted to rush to the aid of their comrades.
At this time, Yanqi's cavalry was still deployed, and the forces in the center of the two sides had not yet officially collided, but the space in the middle was shrinking, but there were still three or four arrows away.
He Guo's horse was fast, and soon approached the ten bald warriors, he aimed at one of the tallest enemies and rushed forward, and his sword fell, but the enemy had already noticed it, and rolled to the side
The bald warrior didn't rush forward and split He Guo in two, he looked at He Guo coldly.
He Guo struggled to his feet, his saber in both hands, he stood half a head taller than the bald warrior, and the same sturdiness made him feel like he had taken back a little advantage, his eyes staring straight at the enemy, and his body quickly recovered.
He Guo saw that two more people on the west side of the infantry phalanx had cut off the enemy's feet and fell, and his heart was even more anxious, but the bald soldier in front of him had no intention of letting him join the soldiers.
Seeing that the leader's rapidly rising morale fell again, although Dayue's hundred-person phalanx only lost less than twenty people, the other party did not lose a single person, and continued to harvest lives, and in the blink of an eye, it was on the verge of collapse.
After all, it was the first time they had played in such a formation.
Seeing the sneer on the bald soldier's face, He Guo couldn't bear it, and slashed at the other party with the saber in the loud shout, and the bald warrior's big scimitar was fought, and the sparks splashed with a loud bang, and He Guo couldn't help but take two steps back.
The other party is still as steady as Mount Tai.
Sima Dan suddenly shouted: "He Guo! Stop it! ”
But it was too late, He Guo's forehead was bruised, he strode forward, and slashed from top to bottom with a knife.
The bald warrior took advantage of the momentum and turned around, the scimitar had already slashed He Guo's lower plate, He Guona thought that the opponent's knife was so fast, only to feel that his calf was weak, and the opponent's other knife had been stabbed.
When Sima Dan shouted, he had already watched He Guo fall.
The bald warriors are not only more powerful, but their sword skills are farther than those of the country.
Sima Dan knew that although the group of enemies in front of him were wild barbarians, they had successfully summed up some kind of method of killing, if they were also called martial arts, the move just now was no less than any sword technique in the Central Plains.
From any small movement of the bald warrior, Sima Dan knew that these people understood the mystery of limb movement, which was also the core secret of the martial arts that the master taught him.
In the Central Plains, such generals are not absent, but they are by no means something that ordinary soldiers can learn through a few years of training.
Sima Dan shouted: "Release the arrow!" ”
The Otsuki archers, who had been defending the surrounding army outward, immediately turned to aim at the dozen or so bald warriors who were rushing to kill.
The bald warrior built a shield wall, and the giant shield was filled with feathered arrows with a thud.
However, the attacked infantry formation could not seize the opportunity to counterattack the bald soldiers, and could only reluctantly regroup to fill the gap.
At this time, the high-pitched battle horns sounded, and the Yanqi Formation, which had been fully deployed, was pressed towards the soldiers of Dayue City in the form of infantry in the center and cavalry on both wings.
A rain of arrows rose from the rear of the Yanqi soldiers' formation, covering the Dayue soldiers, and the distance between the two sides had reached the range of bows and arrows before they knew it.
Sima Dan ordered his soldiers to pick up He Guo's headless body and put it on his horse, and he hurried back to the center of the army formation to personally command.
Sima Dan looked back at the hill in the distance in a desperate situation, and saw a little golden light flickering, dazzling in the sun.
The golden light flashed three times, then disappeared again.
******
At this moment, the Great Moon Scout, who was on the hill, put away the silver mirror, and turned to reflect the sunlight behind him, signaling another mountain in the distance.
Xiao Min on another hill quickly saw the signal of the scout, and at this time, she was wearing armor and was surrounded by Zu Chong and other generals in the center.
"It's a fight!" The crowd was talking.
Zhuge Xiaomin looked up at the sky, the original cloudless blue sky, suddenly surging in the wind, in the wind, faintly heard the sound of swords and guns, ghosts crying and howling.
The generals were unconsciously solemn, looking at this heroine among women, waiting for orders.
Xiao Min's hand slowly raised and waved slightly.
"No!" The generals shouted in unison, struck their hands on their chests, and then they all walked away.
Zuo Yong was also dressed in military uniform, and said to Xiao Min in a deep voice: "Strategist, let's wait here!" ”
"Nope! We went then, and there were things that had to be done by me. ”
******
Yanqi's infantry and Dayue's infantry finally came into contact, and the shields of both sides blocked each other's spears and held them in the air until the shields of the forwards resisted each other, and the two sides hurriedly erected their shields into two layers, protecting all the gaps between the upper and lower levels, and then it was a contest of strength.
Javelins and arrows continued to fall in mid-air, but the soldiers in the back lined up with their shields upwards to block most of the attacks from above.
Sima Dan was in the center of the large array, directing the advance and retreat of the infantry phalanx with drums and trumpets, while the centurion and ten-commander shouted the order with slogans and constantly boosted morale. The soldiers sweated like rain and desperately followed orders.
"One, two, push, one, two, push!"
"Listen to orders: one, two, stab, one, two, stab ......"
"Hold on! Hold! We must not retreat, the cavalry will kill us all......"
At this time, the cavalry on both wings of Yanqi continued to fire arrows at the Dayue soldiers from both sides, and their horses never stopped, and they kept approaching the infantry formation in columns, looking for gaps.
The Otsuki soldiers, who were suppressed on both sides, had only a retreat, but it was a dead end, as long as the infantry collapsed backwards, the cavalry would annihilate them all like wolves.
The shouts and passwords between the soldiers on both sides of the dispute spread throughout the plain, the sound of gold and iron resonance was endless, the most forward place, in order not to be sandwiched between the force pushed from the rear and the enemy force in front, the soldiers followed the command to find a gap and stabbed the spear, and the soldiers in the front row had no choice, handed the spear to the soldiers behind and then, pulled out the short sword, pulled away the opponent's shield, and carried out hand-to-hand combat.
