Chapter 357: Engagement
On the plain, the two Great Xia teams successfully met.
"I am the Yuan appointed by the Xia King! According to Xi's order, I am the commander of the Northern Theater of Operations! ”
Fang Yuan held the domino and pretended to be authentic.
"I'm the leader of the Northern Legion - Hitomi! I am willing to obey you, Feng Junyuan! ”
A fierce ancestor bowed down directly and saluted with 1,500 people behind him: "We were attacked by the Hule Department before, and only these people are left!" ”
In fact, the reason why he was able to merge and seize power so quickly was entirely because this pupil was also the dream master of the Realm Alliance!
Of course, the grade was very low, he had just stepped into the appearance of the Void Saint, and he had lost the battle, so he naturally didn't have the slightest temper in front of Fang Yuan.
"Is there only this left in the entire Northern Army?"
Fang Yuan frowned.
Secretly, he asked the news: 'Are there any powerful people in the Hur Ministry?' ’
'Lord Qiqi, the entire Hule tribe on the opposite side is heading south, and I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of people who control the strings, not counting the clansmen behind it...... Of course, for us, no matter how many ordinary people there are, it is useless, but its shaman group is also very powerful, and there are demon masters secretly to help! ’
Hitomi said with a hint of flattery: "I'm afraid that we must dispatch a large army and bring in a large number of masters to suppress the rebellion!" ”
"No need! Deliver my order and immediately go to the front to prepare to quell the chaos...... No! Wait a minute, let's prepare for defense first! ”
"You mean?"
Hitomi was shocked: "The people of the Hule Department are so bold and chase directly into the hinterland?" ”
"Is there any explanation for that? Your fighting spirit has been lost, so let's retreat to the back for training! ”
Fang Yuan immediately issued an order, and almost at the same time as a thousand soldiers were arrayed, a black line appeared on the ground level, turning into more than a thousand cavalry, screaming strangely, like a tide.
"Damn! Ouroboros Chase! ”
Seeing this, Hitomi immediately gritted her teeth.
Obviously, if the remnants of his previous army were defeated and rushed by these more than 1,000 horsemen, the entire army would be wiped out immediately!
Even if it was the army that Fang Yuan had trained himself, when he saw a thousand cavalry surging in, it was full of commotion.
"The ancient heavy cavalry charged in clusters, and on the plain it was almost a god blocking and killing a god, and a Buddha blocking and killing a Buddha...... Of course, now these people are far from being cavalry, at most infantry on horseback! ”
Fang Yuan recognized the difference just by looking at it.
At this time, there were no inventions such as saddles and horseshoes, and the so-called horsemanship was quite barbaric, relying entirely on the clamping force of the thighs, and those who could shoot arrows and fight on horses were all first-class warriors among the herdsmen.
Of those thousand, perhaps less than fifty!
And ...... There was no armor on his body, and no protection for the horses! ”
Fang Yuan knew very well that if such a cavalry dared to charge, as long as it bumped into something resisting slightly, it might be broken like an egg, so he didn't care about it at all, and drank directly: "Prepare to fight!" ”
"Royal!"
Vi shouted orders.
"Royal!"
Fang Shan's soldiers were strictly disciplined, and seeing that the fifth commander, the tenth commander and others did not retreat, the commotion of the recruits quickly calmed down and they clenched the weapons in their hands.
Sure enough, seeing that the formation did not move, the thousand horsemen took the initiative to stop several miles away, began to dismount and draw their weapons, and prepared for battle.
Although the number of people on both sides is equal, they came on horseback all the way, and their physical strength remained abundant, so they naturally had a big chance of winning.
Not only that, a group of more than 100 cavalry roared, broke away from the large army, and rushed towards the array.
Woohoo!
The first dozen people, riding horses, holding bows in their left hands and arrows in their right hands, suddenly pulled into a full moon and suddenly loosened.
More than a dozen long arrows flew out, and several unlucky eggs in Fang Yuan's array were suddenly hit by arrows, and they fell to the ground and wailed.
"Are there only a dozen people who can really ride and shoot? This must be the essence of the enemy's cavalry! ”
Seeing this, Fang Yuan snorted coldly, beckoned directly, and picked up his big bow.
His bow was bought in Yangcheng, the bow body is slender, with a tough luster, the arrow is made of fine iron, and the tail is a wild goose, no matter how you look at it, it is ten times better than the other side.
At this time, Lu Fei, who only listened to the horse, was fast, and the bow was like a thunderbolt!
In the muffled sound of thunder, the bowstring kept vibrating, but the knight on the opposite side kept falling from his horse, and it turned out that there was no arrow!
After nine of them had been shot dead in a company, the cavalry roared, spared the front, dispersed, and returned to the large army in the rear.
"Your Excellency is a great archer!"
Hitomi looked at this scene and directly stroked his palm and said, "This wave just now, at least shot a few of their heads!" ”
"Needless to say, it's useless, go to war!"
Fang Yuan raised his long sword and gave a direct order: "And you, take the warriors who still dare to fight to the front line!" ”
No matter how unbearable this pupil is, he is still a dream master, and in an ordinary army, he is at least a hundred enemies and a thousand enemies.
"No!"
Hitomi roared, raised the weapon in his hand, and rushed to the front line with a group of men.
"Kill!"
The two formations kept moving closer together, and suddenly, there was a large number of terrible howls from the opposite side.
Teng Teng!
Smoke and dust are everywhere, and the ground is roaring!
Hundreds of big horses took off the reins at once, and were whipped a few times, and under the leadership of the head horse, they rushed directly towards the military formation, like a torrent, it was simply unstoppable!
"Good!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but praise it.
At this time, the horses could not be protected, and the cavalry was mostly damaged, but they simply took the war horses and charged directly into the formation, as long as they could break through this formation, they could immediately win the victory.
This is similar to the fire bull formation in Tiandan in history, as well as the elephant soldier formation in the south!
"It's a pity...... Make a poor imitation! ”
Fang Yuanyi waved his hand: "Let the flamethrower get on!" ”
"No!"
A hundred men stepped forward, wooden pipes in their hands, and at that moment, a large number of flames erupted.
Greek fire! Flowing fire! The secret murder weapon of the ancient Byzantines, for the first time, shows the battle array of this world!
"Ritsu!"
A large number of horses neighed and scattered.
Fires, loud noises, and burning were all factors that unsettled the horses.
Not to mention, the war horses at this time were far less mature than those of later generations, and they could undergo severe domestication and make Mount Tai collapse in front of them and stand still.
At this time, they were surprised, none of them dared to continue charging towards the flames, most of them fled around the formation, and a small number of them actually turned back directly and rushed to the front of the Hule Division.
"Kill them!"
The people of the Hureb were not fools and immediately went down to the killer.
Bows and arrows, bronze swords, and long ge...... All kinds of weapons beckoned to the horses.
However, the horses that had already been frightened once at this time had already completely lost their minds, and rushed forward frantically, with huge kinetic energy and inertia, which immediately caused a mess, blood and flesh splashed, and I didn't know if it was a horse or a human.
"Charge!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan of course would not let go of this great opportunity, and ordered the army to charge, and the firearms hundred-man team directly held the wooden pipe, seeing that people were breathing fire, invincible.
"Kill!"
In the army, five people and ten people were fighting fiercely.
Compared with this, the Hurle Department on the opposite side was a plate of scattered sand, almost completely relying on the bloody battle of the moment, and suddenly made a judgment.
In the end, it is still a barbaric age, advocating personal bravery, but useless...... The great era of the establishment system has arrived, and if you don't catch up with the trend, you can only be ruthlessly abandoned! ’
Fang Yuan sighed silently, clenched the iron sword in his hand, and strode forward.
Most of the pursuers were defeated, and it was time for him to appear.
"Die!"
On the opposite side, several shamans roared, shaking the blood-red drums in their hands.
A gust of fishy wind blew in his face, and from the corpses that fell to the ground, blood and water gathered, and several monsters immediately formed, rampage.
"Kill!"
Fang Yuan strolled forward, his long sword raised a few times, and between his eyebrows, there was a red flame-like light flickering.
Whining!
The blood beasts collapsed in an instant, turning into black blood, and he walked without stopping, and came to the shaman.
"Protect the Shaman!"
Several Hule people shouted, and their bodies were broken in two under Fang Yuan's long sword.
"The shepherd will avenge us!"
The two of them looked very young, looking at Fang Yuan with a resentful gaze, as if they were eager to bite off a piece of his flesh.
"The hero of the enemy, the enemy of mine!"
Fang Yuan was not hypocritical, he directly slashed one by one, sending them to be destroyed.
"The shaman is dead!"
Seeing this scene, the Hule tribesmen, who were still stubbornly resisting, immediately collapsed, scrambled for their horses, and began to flee to the rear.
"No need to chase!!"
Seeing this, Fang Yuan immediately gave an order: "Clean up the battlefield, start camping, build defenses, and prepare for a big battle!" ”
"My lord?! What do you mean? ”
Hitomi came to Fang Yuan's side, his body was stained with blood, but his face was full of pleasure.
"The pioneers have all arrived here, and the main force will be there within two days!"
Fang Yuan shook his head slowly: "If they knew that there were only a few thousand of us, what would you say?" ”
"Of course, it is to extinguish our last strength, and from now on, the north of Great Xia will gallop, and then go straight to Yang City!"
Hitomi is not a person from this world after all, and his strategic vision has a high level, and he said without having time to think about it, and then he gasped.
"Therefore...... I'm ready to fight here! ”
Fang Yuan said with a big grin: "At least you can grasp the initiative, dig more ditches, reserve more grain and meat, and raise the earthen wall......"
"A thousand against ten thousand?"
Hitomi was speechless and rolled her eyes: "Are you confident?" ”
"Nope! It's two thousand five against nine thousand! ”
Fang Yuan corrected his mistake: "Do you think you can still run away?" ”
"Haha! Okay, the subordinates will accompany the adults to bet on this! ”
If it is an ordinary commander, it is naturally impossible to let the subordinates who have just met die with a word, even if the personality is full of charm!
But Hitomi is not an ordinary person! As a dream master, even if the whole army is wiped out, he has the hope of getting out.
Even, if you die in this world, it's not a big deal to admit the outlet, so it's nothing.
Two days later.
Nearly 10,000 cavalry rushed to the battlefield and saw a small earthen city and the surrounding trenches.
