Fang Zhiwen's cavalry lined up in a not dense phalanx, slowly pressing forward, the general was in front with the intention of using the range advantage to carry out long-range strikes, and the players on the opposite side saw this, naturally guessed what Fang Zhiwen's idea was, and in desperation, he had to command the crossbowmen on the other side of the river and the crossbowmen on the other side of the paddy field to move forward, in order to protect the pikemen from being completely passively beaten.

The crossbowmen on the other side of the river are a complete formation of 500 crossbowmen troops led by a cantonment commander leading several players, and the attack power should still be okay, as for the other troops, the first formation of pikemen led by the two cantonment commanders can't move easily, and the crossbowmen on the edge of the wheat field are also trying to move, but the speed is very slow due to the lack of mutual subordination.

Now, in front of Fang Zhiwen, although it is a situation of being surrounded on three sides, due to the problems of movement speed and command efficiency, a tactic of adding fuel first and then adding fuel has been formed.

Fang Zhiwen's oppressive style of play made the players of the Storm Legion a little confused, the player's idea was that he could not be beaten passively in vain, so he was forced to move the crossbow array forward, in fact, from a tactical point of view, any troops with low mobility against troops with strong mobility, this passive situation is impossible to reverse at all, unless the terrain is really very favorable.

Fang Zhiwen did not rush to attack, but waited for the crossbowmen on the other side of the river to enter the shooting position and form a dense formation, Fang Zhiwen did not hesitate to urge the cavalry to attack, using acceleration to cast arrow rain skills, and the generals around him also followed closely to sway out the group attack skills, for a while, the crossbowmen on the other side of the river were actually overwhelmed by a strong flash, but fortunately, the light of these skills quickly converged, and the crossbowmen on the opposite side shot out the crossbow arrows regardless of whether they could shoot or not, and the two arrows in the air staggered, But compared to the arrows fired by the cavalry, they were sparse.

Fang Zhiwen did not let go of this excellent sneak attack opportunity, a cloud-piercing arrow followed the floating light arrow to chase in, the target was the player who commanded the troops, and the generals naturally would not lag behind, and suddenly a strong light drowned the crossbow generals on the opposite side.

When the light and shadow faded away, and Fang Zhiwen opened his bow again, he found that the crossbow array on the opposite side had completely disappeared, and even the player who commanded it had disappeared, and the other side of the river was clean, if it weren't for the corpse lying on the ground, no one would believe that there was a murderous crossbow array just now.

In front of the cavalry formation and on the river bank on the side, there are a lot of crossbow arrows sparsely inserted, and some cavalry bodies and war horses also have crossbow arrows, but the number is not much, obviously, the attack distance of those crossbowmen is a little reluctant, the cavalry team is now about eighty steps away from the front of the pikemen, the horse team has stopped under Fang Zhiwen's order, and then the rear team becomes the front team, slowly retreating to about one hundred and twenty steps, the sparse formation at that time is now in play, so that the horses can turn around.

In fact, Fang Zhiwen was also very surprised, the enemy's crossbow array was so brittle was really beyond his expectations, it is no wonder that these people from the Storm Legion all took Lu Pengze County, due to the cost, they did not bring too many troops, but urgently purchased and recruited soldiers from the player, and hurried here to set up an ambush, the crossbowmen in their hands were crossbowmen who had not been upgraded at all, what combat power and defense could they have, once they entered the range of Fang Zhiwen's powerful archers like wolves and tigers, it would be completely the role of cannon fodder.

The battlefield suddenly fell silent, and only the sound of the slow and neat hooves of the Youzhou Assault Cavalry was heard, and the rumbling sound seemed to come from the faint thunder of the sky, which was extremely oppressive. At this time, the crossbowmen on the right were still struggling to advance in the muddy wheat field, a trap they had set themselves, and now they were holding them back, and the crossbowmen behind the pikemen finally began to shoot, although the timing was a little late, as if they were bidding farewell to the cavalry who had left the range of the crossbow arrows, but it was better than not moving at all.

Fang Zhiwen's cavalry team turned around again and began to turn into a phalanx of cheats, ready to carry out long-range projectiles, but the pikemen array on the opposite side could only be beaten, and the trap in front of the pikemen formation now in turn restricted the movement of the pikemen array.

A round of arrow rain and skills down, something that stunned both sides happened, the pikemen array was too low in morale, facing the rain of locust arrows, and collapsed directly, except for those who were killed by the rain of arrows and skills just now, all the pikemen in the front formation threw away the spears in their hands and turned around and ran, and soon drove the pikemen in the back formation, and then disrupted the crossbow array behind, and then the crossbow array also collapsed.

Fang Zhiwen just froze for a moment, and immediately commanded the cavalry team to start charging, bypassing the horse trap through the paddy field, the cavalry team rushed to the crossbowmen on the other side of the paddy field before the crossbowmen entered the firing range, and had already returned to the road to line up in pursuit, the black torrent was like a sharp blade, like cutting tofu to gently cut the dense enemy, and then like a powerful bulldozer, all the infantry mixed with blood rain and broken weapons and armor, and crashed out to both sides of the road, some fell into the river, and some fell into the muddy wheat field.

The rumbling cavalry did not fall in love with the battle, after breaking through the enemy formation, they ran directly along the road to the distance, and soon left the battlefield, the players of the Storm Legion looked at each other in the face of the scattered battlefield, this time their losses were not large, but the blow to confidence was more serious, the preset battlefield, the number of jumping troops, I didn't expect to be beaten by the other party unharmed, it was really embarrassing, although the quality of the soldiers in their hands was indeed poor, seriously dragging their feet, However, the fatal flaw formed by the lack of commander's ability on the battlefield has finally been faced by players, and it is absolutely impossible to rely on this kind of crowd tactics to deal with the elite.

The Storm Legion hid the experience of this battle, and learned from it, took the lead in the player's forces, carefully reorganized the elite troops led by the complete generals, and finally established a strong sphere of influence in the Two Lakes region, of course, this is a story for later.

Fang Zhiwen's initial estimation was wrong, due to the relationship of time, the Storm Legion did not organize the second layer of blocking line, after running out of ten miles, Fang Zhiwen encountered Shi A's scout again, the army of the mountain barbarians did not advance fast, they were infantry, and due to the huge number, there were close to 100,000 barbarians, the action was even slower, the width of the troops was also very large, and the gap between the troops naturally appeared, what Fang Zhiwen needed to do was to intersperse the past from these gaps.

It may be difficult for others, but Fang Zhiwen has a golden eagle in his hand, and now at Shi A's place, Shi Ah will continue to send scouts to Fang Zhiwen to show the direction of travel, so that this team of 1,000 people can penetrate from the army of 100,000.

What is the biggest advantage of cavalry? Maneuverability! The most important attribute of an excellent cavalry general is not to lead the army to charge the battle without fear of death, but to have an overall view of the battlefield, know where his troops should appear, and where to attack the enemy will make the enemy the most uncomfortable and painful.

And the archers are the guerrillas in the cavalry, although Duan Zhiran and Yuwen Boyan are not the best archers, but the characteristics and tactics of the archers and cavalry, Fang Zhiwen has repeatedly taught them, but for Zhou Tai, Fang Zhiwen kept changing the direction in the next command, and sometimes even went back, and the time and war fully exerted the mobility of the cavalry, like a ghost, harassing the troops of the Shanyue barbarians in the east and west for a while, until it was dark, It still didn't seem to have passed through the control range of the mountain troops, which made Zhou Tai very confused.

It was already completely dark, Fang Zhiwen and his entourage, under the leadership of the scouts, all got off their horses and walked, eating dry food while walking, and after a continuous battle all afternoon, everyone was very tired, and the war horses were also tired, and now it was time to rest when they walked slowly.

"Lord, why do we take the initiative to fight? Quietly infiltrated the past not long after. Zhou Tai couldn't help but ask his doubts as he walked.

"Cut! If you can penetrate it, then do you still need to fight? It's stupid 1 Xiangxiang pouted and said.

Zhou Tai scratched his head in embarrassment, pushed away the horse's head that was close to his face, and said with some resentment: "But I saw that there were several times when there was no need to fight, and it was completely possible to bypass, and the lord still ordered to attack." ”

Xiangxiang stammered, but she rolled her eyes and turned to her brother with a smile, she couldn't explain it herself, and her brother.

"Hehe, there are two purposes of the battle, one is to involve the opponent's formation and give us a gap by pulling out, and the other is to take the initiative to let the enemy discover our existence, and let the enemy misjudge our purpose through our active attack."

"Misjudging our purpose? Don't we just want to pass? ”

"Yes, but the enemy doesn't know, what would you think if you were the leader of the enemy army?"

"I'm the leader of the enemy army? I'm not an enemy army."

"Stupid, this is called empathy, every qualified general must learn the skills, you treat yourself as the enemy's general, and then stand in his position and think about what to do."

Zhou Tai thought about it and understood the importance of this empathy, and couldn't help but glance at Xiangxiang gratefully, and then said with some hesitation: "If I am the general of the enemy army and find such a cavalry appearing on the way forward, at first I may think that it is here to reconnoitre, and then after continuous entanglement and small-scale battles, I will definitely think that the other party sent me to delay my action." ”

"Well, yes, so what would you do with this cavalry unit?"

"Of course, it is to exterminate, but it is very difficult to use infantry to exterminate the cavalry, especially after several contact battles in the afternoon, we are found to be very restrained and slippery, but if we are not exterminated, this cavalry is very troublesome, and it is really a headache."

"So, have you paid attention to the damage we have in each battle? Also, think about what you're here for. ”

Fang Zhiwen guided Zhou Tai to think earnestly, a general who is good at thinking and summarizing can grow into an excellent general, not to mention that he has such potential.

"Ahh I understand that every time we fought in the afternoon was a slight touch, and the enemy's losses were not large, so I could completely ignore it, because the purpose of my visit was to attack Pengze County, not to destroy this small cavalry unit, so let the troops be careful and ignore it, and if the cavalry dared to attack, it would be just right to destroy it. ”

"That's right, that's the purpose, it's good to let the other party take the initiative to ignore us, believe it or not, now that we're on the edge of the enemy's camp, they won't pay attention to it at all."

Fang Zhiwen said with a smile.

Zhou Tai looked at the lord with emotion, thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"My lord, we can choose a suitable place to steal the camp, the grain and grass of the Shanyue barbarians will inevitably lag behind, if we can burn their baggage, won't their plan be completely shattered1

Fang Zhiwen patted Zhou Tai on the shoulder, this kid's qualifications are really good.

"Since it's important food and grass, don't you think they will be heavily armed? Especially when we found out about the existence of our harassment force, and the Shanyue people fish and hunt for a living, do you think there will be no traps around the camp? How can we get through these traps at night? Also, we don't have any arson prop materials, have you considered all of this? ”

"Ugh"

Seeing that Zhou Tai was in trouble, Xiangxiang made a grimace at him, and led her horse to her brother's side with a grin, her horse was not included in the horse card, because she had to fight on horseback at any time. Fang Zhiwen saw that Xiangxiang seemed to be working against Zhou Tai, so he knocked on her helmet helplessly, but did not bother Zhou Tai, who was frowning and thinking.
