Chapter 414 Deadly Scissors
Whose counterattack?
It's definitely not Han Qiong's, from the moment Yu Ban completed the formation change, his last glory was over.
The passage to glory and revenge in his eyes is exactly what Gao Ran said about the trap, the death trap!
Han Qiong just wanted to rush forward, and the attention of the halberd warriors was also focused on driving straight into the middle army of the Qingzhou Army, but he didn't expect that the enemy army that had already retreated instantly regrouped and made a comeback.
Surprise and attack unprepared, a painful lesson is inevitable.
Thousands of spears stabbed from both sides of the passage, striking a head-on blow to the advancing heavy armoured army.
It is not appropriate to say that it is head-on, because the spear attack is on the side, and when they are caught off guard, the halberd warriors are stabbed down one after another, and the casualties caused in an instant are several times that of before.
The coverage area of heavy armor is limited, and if the front is well protected, it is already a very fine armor. Even the back is strictly protected, which is generally the armor used by officers. As for wrapping the sides together, as powerful as the defense on the front, only the special armor made by the high-ranking generals is the one that is encased on the sides.
In fact, even the so-called protective plate armor without dead ends has a lot of flaws on the side, no matter what kind of armor, it is for people to wear, and there is always room for the arms and necks to move.
"Bastard!" Han Qiong was so angry that his beard blew up, he still didn't think it was a trap, but a harassment made by the enemy general in order to delay his offensive. In order to protect the Chinese army, what is the gain of sacrificing some soldiers?
What annoyed him was that he had to accept the offer knowing the other party's purpose. There's no way, you can't just run forward with your head down, and let these enemy soldiers line up for assassination, right?
"Turn around and take the battle, and give these cowards a long memory. Kill them so that they don't dare to turn back! Han Qiong shouted an order, the heavy infantry is not cavalry, there is no room for acceleration, and it is also very convenient to turn, just now the enemy can be beaten with a mouse, and there will be no change now.
Of course, these cowards may avoid the edge, turn their heads and harass again, which is very troublesome. For the old man. He is not afraid of powerful enemies, and the flies flying around are the trickiest ones.
So he added: "Blow the trumpet, tell Gao Ran boy, let him not be too timid, it's okay to give him the credit." But at least you have to do something, right? Tell him to cover up the killing with all his strength and bite the rout soldiers who were scattered by the old man! ”
With that, he swung his spear and turned around and joined the warband.
After receiving Han Qiong's instructions, Gao Ran had the heart to cry.
Han Qiong's qualifications are very old, and he grew up listening to the legend of this person. Right now, the former king of guns is dying. Under the glow of countless rising stars, the veteran has almost been forgotten.
However, when I see it today, the veteran's majesty is not diminished. His martial arts and physical strength are maintained well, he is wearing heavy armor, and he can always fight on the front line, which is not much worse than when he was young.
But the problem is. The old man's head doesn't seem to be ordinary.
Fight for merit? Cover-up? Biting the rout?
Please, the other party is changing formations to kill! Where's the harassment that delays time!
You've seen harassing skirmishers. It's not sporadical, but it's arranged in a knife-cut array, and even the stabs are rhythmic?
Gao Ran can even call out the name of the formation used by the enemy army, the change of the formation of the goose marching formation, and the deadly scissors! The words on the book of war flashed in my heart: deceive the defeat and lure the enemy, reorganize the situation after the battle, close the two wings, and kill in an all-round way!
"Follow me to save someone!" Gao Ran roared again, and rushed to the battlefield with hundreds of guards around him. A few steps later, Han Qiong and the Euphorbia will definitely be wiped out! Although he didn't like the old man's bad temper and tone, Gao Ran still couldn't watch Pao Ze die in battle.
At this moment, he felt that he and Yuvro were simply in sympathy.
They all knew that the other party had a killing move, but they could only jump in with their eyes closed. Yu Fuluo is okay, after all, the 20,000 cavalry under his command is strong, and Gao Ran himself is much worse, he is well trained, but unless it is like the fierce battalion of the Destroyer, the infantry battle depends on the formation after all.
Right now, due to Han Qiong's rapid advance, his initial formation has been chaotic, Han Qiong was besieged and killed in front, but there are still people in the back who are desperately trying to add to the gap.
Speaking of which, the bad weather is also helping the people of Qingzhou!
If the soldiers who followed up saw the miserable scene in the deadly scissor array, no matter what, they would calm down and accept their command again, right?
As he ran, he took off his great bow from his back, clasped the two feathered arrows between his fingers, and placed them on the bowstring one by one.
"Collapse!" The first arrow broke out of the string, pierced through the wind and snow, and accurately shot at the general's flag in the center of the enemy formation.
Then another arrow was fired, and the second arrow was shot immediately after the first. The two arrows hit the target one after another, and the flag of the general responsible for dispatching the military formation in front of him quickly fell. The flag-bearer only felt a huge force coming down the flagpole, and as soon as his hand was released, the entire flagpole fell to the ground.
The chaos did not last long, the Yulin Army was well-trained, and the command had penetrated to the level of team leadership. Not to mention that only one or two flags fell, even if the main general's flag also fell, the Yulin Army could still continue to fight.
Gao Ran didn't expect to be able to defeat the enemy by such a small means, he only wanted to reach a slight stagnation in the enemy formation, allowing him to rush in from this gap to save people.
"Follow me, Blade!" Gao Ran ordered loudly, threw away his bow, took the spear from the guard, and rushed left and right, opening a small gap in the siege of the Qingzhou army.
"Old General Han, the last general is here, rush this way!"
The moment she heard Gao Ran's shout, Han Qiong's heart suddenly relaxed, and she almost couldn't hold the steel gun in her hand.
At this moment, it has not been long since he blew the trumpet and ordered Gao Ran to cover up and kill, but his state of mind is very different. He finally realized that the enemy army was not harassing, but a premeditated change of formation to counterattack, but he was too slow to react, and it was such a little delay, and he paid an extremely painful price that he could not bear.
Heavy armor soldiers also need to have a formation, and it is good to have a dense formation. The loose formation of the Destroyer Battalion against the Hu cavalry is a special case, that formation is very useful against the cavalry that has lost the space for acceleration, and it is to find death against the infantry in a dense formation.
No class or formation is invincible, only a more intelligent commander who uses the most suitable class and formation in the most suitable place.
In the course of the pursuit. The halberd had unconsciously stretched into a long column, forming a spindle-shaped formation. Of course, the attack power on the front is strong, but the side is much weaker.
After the Qingzhou army launched a counterattack and Han Qiong commanded the troops to start a counterattack, he soon found that the enemy's formation was so dense that the halberd warriors were like being surrounded by two angry hedgehogs, and each person had to face several, or even a dozen spears.
There are enemy troops everywhere. Deadly spears everywhere. Leng Sensen came over with snowflakes, and then brought up a trail of blood. The blood flew away in the flick of the spear blade, and the next moment, the sharp spear blade pierced through the mist again.
Some were blocked by heavy armor and shields, but many more followed the dead corners of the armor and shields. Drill into the soft underbelly of the heavy armor, the neck. The Euphorbia was forced to retreat constantly, losing manpower in the process of retreating, but soon found that he had no way to retreat, and behind him was the back of the robe.
If the barrier behind you disappears, then you will have to face thorns in both directions at the same time! With superb martial arts. Han Qiong rushed left and right, but he could save this, but he couldn't save that......
In the face of such an efficient killing army, individual bravery is insignificant. Don't rush into the trap, that's the only way to deal with it.
Han Qiong saw with his own eyes that a subordinate with high martial arts skills relied on his clever marksmanship and heavy armor. Stubbornly dodging the spears that stabbed at the point, he pounced like a cheetah. The blade of the spear stabbed into the throat of one of the Feathered Forest soldiers like lightning.
Successfully counterattacked, but there was no time to show off his bravery and be proud, and at the moment when he tried to draw his gun and retreat, a long ge roared and smashed over, and at the same time, several spears launched stabs from different angles, and there was no way to avoid it!
The spear's stab was even more deadly, and it was preferentially avoided by choice, but the roaring Changge was just as terrifying. Chang Ge smashed on the helmet, and the soldier was directly smashed into blackness in front of his eyes, and Venus popped up, and then, several spears stabbed out of nowhere, stabbing straight into the thighs that the armor could not protect.
The thug roared like a beast, his voice poignant and high-pitched. The spearman quickly withdrew his spear, and a fountain of blood shot out from the wound on the opponent's leg, staining countless raindrops red. The wounded thug stumbled and shook like drunk. Several more spears, piercing through his ribs at the same time, picked up his body and raised it high into the air......
It was Han Qiong's disciple, and according to his own evaluation, this person had at least half of the collar he had when he was young.
Old Han Qiong finally became afraid and planned to retreat, but where could she retreat? The thorns of the spear were everywhere, and in the narrow passage, there was only the breath of death.
Gao Ran came in a timely manner.
Hearing Gao Ran's shout, Han Qiong rose to his strength, and with years of battlefield experience and calm observation, he found that there was a small-scale chaos where the sound came from.
With the armor soldiers who have survived to this day, he rushed in the direction of Gao Ran's reinforcements.
"Follow me!" He shouted, ignoring those who had straggled, and rushed forward like a mad boar.
One husband is desperate, ten thousand people are not in charge, the old Han Qiong is still fighting, and he uses the steel gun as a stick, sweeping and smashing vertically, and there is no one in the place where he passes.
Finally, the breath of death dissipated slightly, and the wind and snow dispersed, and there was a bright light flickering.
Old Han Qiong once again saw the figure of the young man who made him seven points unhappy and three points disdainful, this time, most of his heart was grateful and ashamed.
"General Gao, old man ......"
"General Han doesn't have to be like this, the battle is like this, and it is also the reason why the last general does not know the enemy." Gao Ran's tone was modest, but his expression was unusually solemn.
When Han Qiong was surprised, he heard Gao Ran muttering as if talking to himself: "I see, is the real killing move actually this?" Wang Pengju, you really deserve the name of a famous general in the world! ”
"General Gao, what are you talking about......" Han Qiong looked around blankly, but he didn't find anything abnormal, and looked at Gao Ran suspiciously.
The corners of Gao Lan's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a wry smile, as if he was about to speak, but his face quickly turned shocked and shocked.
The rare winter thunder exploded again, and this time, Gao Ran could be sure that what he heard was not an illusion, but that there was indeed thunder rolling, but this thunder had nothing to do with the sky, but was made by people!
He finally knew what Wang Yu's killer was!
The iron cavalry stepped into the formation, and the iron cavalry led by Wang Yu personally came to the formation!
