Chapter Fifty-Eight: Attacking
If the archers, who rely on distance to form a suppressive advantage, are attacked in the face by melee hoplites before they are activated, the result will inevitably be cool.
The two thousand-man golden fire cavalry were like two bloody blades that hit the key points of the archers, and the impact created by the speed made the archers who were only leather armor powerless to resist, and they were interspersed and disrupted in the blink of an eye, and with a wave of the halberd, the archers fell like wheat.
The lancers in front of the formation only turned around at this time and tried to surround Xiao Xie, but Yue Ziyun, who arrived later, would not let them succeed.
Yue Ziyun's cavalry unit had a speed bonus, and although it was a late starter, it caught up with the lancers first, and the two groups of men and horses were immediately mixed together.
At present, Qin Fan's ordinary troops are wearing Mingguang armor, which is better than chain mail to resist knife and gun damage, plus the defense bonus, which makes Yue Ziyun's 7,000 lancers more effective than the Kelman army.
Yue Ziyun took the lead in the charge, the spears were picked up in succession, and everywhere he went, people turned on their backs, and the cavalry behind him used this momentum to stir up the enemy's charging formation into a pot of porridge.
This is the role played by a high-level general, taking the lead in playing momentum and deterrence.
Despite the weakness of his troops, Yue Ziyun still showed a momentum that seemed to be several times that of the other party, and he adopted the tactics of cutting off and dividing, and quickly cut the 10,000 spearmen into several regiments, relying on their high defensive power, and forcibly fought with the enemy.
Xiao Xie's Golden Fire Cavalry rushed into the archer camp and slaughtered, and in just a quarter of an hour, the archers lost nearly four layers.
Half an hour passed, Yue Ziyun led the team to rush out of the battle group, and only 3,000 of the 7,000 lancers remained, and the 10,000 lancers lost 7,000 troops.
Yue Ziyun, who rushed out, waved his hand, and a thousand archers began to attack, taking advantage of the fact that the lancers had just left the battle and had not yet reorganized their formation, a large number of arrows fell on their heads.
The Huanshou Knife Cavalry, which was crippled by a wave of the Golden Fire Cavalry, reorganized 3,000 people to attack the Golden Fire Cavalry, Xiao Xie saw that the situation was not good, and the number of casualties on his side began to increase, so he shouted: "The whole army retreats!" ”
All the golden fire cavalry quickly withdrew from the battle and withdrew to the north, here Yue Ziyun saw Xiao Xie withdrawing, and also began to withdraw his troops, he was originally a leading actor, and the singing ran away, and he beat the gong and drum naturally withdrew.
This sneak attack directly reduced the number of troops in the recovery of Zamusi by two-thirds, Qin Fan's golden fire cavalry lost more than two hundred, Yue Ziyun's lancers were only more than two thousand, and the archers were intact.
"What's next?" Xiao Xie and Yue Ziyun quickly regrouped, and Xiao Xie looked at the state of the Golden Fire Cavalry and asked.
Yue Ziyun looked at the sky and said: "It's almost dawn, I'm afraid there will not be much success in the sneak attack again, the Kaerman's army is now suffering heavy losses, so naturally it doesn't dare to continue to advance towards Zamusi, we must wait for reinforcements in place, we will first withdraw Zamusi to repair, replenish the troops, and then find an opportunity to attack!" ”
"Then it's up to you......"
Not long after the battle between Yue Ziyun and the others ended here, Qin Fan asked Xinglong to continue to track the movements of the remnants of the Keerman, the 10,000 third-order war horses were the key to the subsequent growth of the Golden Fire Cavalry, and he had not yet obtained the stallions of the third-order war horses, and this feeling of being controlled by others was really unpleasant.
In the morning, the troops returned to Zamusi for repairs, and since yesterday evening, the 200 school yards have been continuously training soldiers, and 3,000 of the 4,000 troops lost are Zamusi's, and the overall loss is not large.
Qin Fan watched as the cook was greasing a fat whole sheep, which had been golden and crispy on the outside, which had been grilled over charcoal. Xinglong walked over and said with a smile: "It seems that there is a blessing at noon today." ”
"Any news?" Qin Fan heard Xinglong speak, and his gaze pulled back from the roasted whole sheep.
"More than 12,000 remnants of the Kamanchu army have returned to Chabuula for reinforcements."
"Chabuula?" Qin Fan hadn't noticed this place before.
Xinglong explained: "This is a medium-sized tribe with a population limit of 20,000, but this tribe was recently wiped out by the rebel tribes in the southwest, and later the Karman regained it, and now there are only three or four thousand cavalry in it, plus a total of 15,000 defeated soldiers. ”
"Eat him!" Qin Fan said categorically: "While his foothold is not stable now, and the reinforcements have not arrived, we will attack quickly!" ”
"I'll arrange it!"
I don't know if it's because of the system settings, Qin Fan hasn't met a player on the grassland until now, which makes Qin Fan's actions not have to consider the player's factors.
As soon as lunch passed, Xiao Xie and Yue Ziyun set off, this time in addition to Xiao Xie's 1,000 and 9 Golden Fire Cavalry, Yue Ziyun brought 6,000 cavalry, leaving only 3,000 cavalry left for Ye Long, but there were still a little more than 1,000 people in training.
Chabuula was 90 miles from Zamus, and in the afternoon the troops arrived at the outskirts of Chabuula.
However, this time, the secret sentry of the system troops discovered them first, and when Xiao Xie led the troops over, the opposing archers had already set up their positions.
"How?" Xiao Xie looked at Yue Ziyun.
"Just fight like that! Drive! ”
Yue Ziyun roared, beat his horse and charged, and the mixed troops of six thousand spears and archers formed a slender long snake formation, which was a formation that could minimize casualties when dealing with long-range troops.
Xiao Xie saw Yue Ziyun rushing out, and smiled: "Brother Yue is very strong!" ”
Yue Ziyun acted as the head of the snake in the long snake formation, which can be described as lightning and poisonous. When rushing to two hundred meters, six thousand archers and cavalry released arrows at the same time, and for a while, the arrow rain came suddenly, the spear in Yue Ziyun's hand was waved at great speed, and the rays of the sun shone on the barrel of the gun in the afternoon flashing with a dazzling glow.
There were the most arrows in the head, but Yue Ziyun rotated the spear so tightly that not a single arrow flew in. However, the brothers around him were far less capable and were shot off their horses, but their sacrifices saved more lives, and after sacrificing hundreds of people, Yue Ziyun successfully led a large group of lancers into the yurt group in Chabuula.
The archers fired only one round, and when they saw that the form was wrong, they hurriedly withdrew, allowing a large number of lancers and sword cavalry to go up.
As soon as the soldiers and horses of the two sides fought, the scene was much bloodier than the night came, the spearmen in the first row stabbed each other in the chest, and under the acceleration of the war horses, they were stabbed in pair, and Shang Xin was knocked down by his companions behind him before he fell.
Yue Ziyun quickly fought his way out, and thousands of cavalry followed him into the center of the yurt group, where there was a stone-stacked altar that served the same purpose as the ancestral shrine. Inside the altar is a face flag, and simply pulling down the flag will send Chabuullah into exile.
When Yue Ziyun rushed into the enemy formation, Xiao Xie had already led the Golden Fire Cavalry to attack the archers from the flank. Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows flew into the yurt group, and the archers wandering in it were immediately hit by arrows, and in a moment they became hedgehogs, and the white felt cloth of the yurt was shot through, and many soldiers hiding behind the yurts were also shot.
Horses and soldiers fell to the ground, blood staining the dark green grass a darker color.
