After a moment of hesitation, Yan Dongxing made a decision. √ the top of the novel, 23wx He was the first to turn his horse's head, and led the cavalry group in a circle, urgently avoiding it from the right side at a right angle of nearly ninety degrees, and at the same time shouted out the password agreed upon in training.

Amid the thunderous hooves and shouts of killing, his voice alone obviously couldn't reach far.

The surrounding cavalry has already experienced similar actual combat simulation drills many times on weekdays. At the same time as following the steering for the first time, the command was repeated in unison, and it kept spreading backwards. In the midst of this seemingly thrilling change of direction, the cavalry in the rear row invariably began to slow down and carry out orders.

At the most extreme moment, the cavalry on the periphery was only a few steps away from the first row of shields of the Guards, as if they could reach it with a slight wave of their swords, but in the end they still passed by.

The cavalry turned a corner, and the wind broke out of the battle zone and returned to their original positions.

The second wave of the charge is about to begin!

Most of the time, when the cavalry charge is unable to shake the will of the defenders, the war will fall into this kind of repetition of attacks. Unless they charge at all costs, the cavalry will repeatedly charge, raining arrows at the defenders along the way, and then regrouping moments before charging into the ranks. until the defenders were exhausted and collapsed, or faltered by too many casualties; Either they had to wait until it was dark, and the cavalry voluntarily abandoned their goal and left on their own.

Battles like this often take a long time to decide.

But this time it was different, because it was not simply a battle between light cavalry and infantry. In addition to the 4,000 Songjiang cavalry, there were 8,000 infantry allies.

Moreover, the number of bows and arrows of the Songjiang cavalry far exceeded that of the Guards.

After six rounds of charging in turn, the cavalry side certainly paid the price of nearly 100 dead and 2 or 300 wounded, but the casualties of the guards would only be heavier. And that's not even the worst of it. With the Songjiang cavalry consciously focusing on several attacks, the infantry archers of the Guards began to suffer casualties.

An important factor in opposing cavalry with infantry arrays is to have sufficient crossbow and crossbow strength, otherwise the latter will only fly kites far away.

Of course, the soldiers of the Guards knew this, and they also focused on protecting their archers, but after all, it was impossible to cover everything. Every wave of charge. The ranged forces of the Guards will all be weaker than the previous wave.

Also, the defense itself is more difficult than the offense!

Manpower can't be compared with horsepower, not to mention that the cavalry of the Songjiang Army is charging in turns. Although the six times were pseudo-charges and did not really engage, the defending side had no way to guess the intentions of the Matsue army, so they could only respond with all their strength each time. In this way, the soldier's body, will, and concentration are severely tested.

"It seems...... Almost! ”

Looking up at the sky, Yan Dongxing decided not to delay any longer, and quietly gave the order to his subordinates to attack with all his might.

The password spread again. All the cavalry were refreshed and knew that a real attack was about to begin. This time, they're coming for real!

The Guards seemed to sense something, and prepared to defend themselves in the face of cavalry, which was faster than any previous charge. After two volleys, the cavalry of the Songjiang Army did not change direction as they had done the previous six times, but instead desperately pushed their horsepower, increasing their speed to the extreme in the last thirty paces.

With unimaginable power. The cavalry crashed into the defensive array of the Guards.

For a time, the cavalrymen were certainly on their backs. However, the defenders of the Guards in the first row also suffered heavy losses, and were even directly knocked into the back row, and many of the inferior iron shields that were rushed to make were deformed and distorted. Without waiting for the Guards to make adjustments, the cavalry that followed took advantage of the brief confusion and swarmed in, slashing through the gap created by the friendly forces like sharp knives. Constantly shaking the left flank of the Guards.

"Crossbow, prepare!"

The officers of the Guards in the back row, seeing that the opportunity had come, gave the order with bloodthirsty coldness.

A group of crossbowmen who had been hidden by them before revealed the scythe of death at this moment. A strong crossbow with crossbow bolts loaded in advance. In the sound of the trigger pulling of Qi Brush, a storm of hundreds of crossbow arrows was shot out at a very close distance, instantly causing a large number of Songjiang cavalry to fall in an instant.

"Damn it!"

Yan Dongxing was lucky, a crossbow arrow grazed the side of his war horse, and he was not injured, but the sacrifice of his men made his eyes red. Seeing the second row of crossbowmen step forward and the first row of crossbowmen step back and load their arrows, he gritted his teeth, beckoned more than twenty close cavalrymen, and personally led the team to break in again.

The battle heats up in an instant!

"The whole army obeys the order, attack!"

Dian Yong, who was in the middle of the army in front, saw Yan Dongxing leading the cavalry to break through the enemy formation, and he also got up, drew his sword and swung it forward, and rushed out in the lead.

The two brigades and 8,000 soldiers shouted in unison and pressed against the already chaotic Guards array.

If they were to take the lead, the soldiers of the 8,000 garrison force would indeed be afraid. But after six or seven rounds of repeated assault by the 4,000 friendly cavalry, the left flank of the Guards was shaken, and the morale of the army was not as good as before. This time, they have nothing to say but to move forward!

The earth-shattering sound of fighting sounded.

The Guards, determined to die, did not fear an enemy outnumbered them, but showed amazing bravery. On the premise of maintaining the same array, he took the initiative to launch a fierce attack on the garrison of the Songjiang Army, and even did not hesitate to use the desperate fighting method of losing both sides, and the offensive was extremely fierce and tragic.

The Dengzhou garrison was better, but the recruits of the Ninghai garrison brigade were very unaccustomed to this kind of attack, and there were a large number of casualties as soon as the battle began. But in the eyes of the officers and the supervising team, none of these soldiers backed down, and they fought desperately with the enemy.

Staying alive and defeating the enemy became the only thought of these recruits!

What is certain is that if the two garrison brigades can defeat the strong enemy of the Guards, then after this baptism, the combat effectiveness will inevitably increase greatly. But if you fail to pass this test and collapse under the huge casualties, then this army will no longer be able to play a big role, and may even be directly dismissed by the military department!

However, the situation does not depend on human will.

Although the frontal Songjiang Army gathered two garrison brigades and had an absolute numerical superiority, the strong combat power of the Guards Army and the ferocity of the two brigades were stubbornly stopped the attack of the two brigades. For every fall of the Guards, it costs three or even five soldiers of the garrison brigade!

As the sun was about to set, the Guards in front of them had only three or four hundred soldiers killed, while the two garrison brigades had lost fifteen hundred.

The corpses everywhere and the strong smell of blood, as well as the end of the hope of victory, gave the two garrison brigades a faint precursor to collapse.

Fortunately, although they did not achieve decisive results, they were able to hold back enough Guards soldiers. At this time, the cavalry of the Songjiang Army, as the main force, finally opened a breakthrough to victory from the left flank!

Under Yan Dongxing's leading soldiers, the cavalry of the Songjiang Army burst out with amazing fighting spirit, breaking up the formation of the crossbowmen of the Guards, leaving them to fight on their own. During this period, due to Dian Yong's timely response on the frontal battlefield, a large number of troops of the Guards were firmly contained, and the left flank of the Guards was understaffed!

After the previous casualties, they were left with just over 3,500 soldiers. Facing two infantry brigades and one cavalry brigade, the disparity in strength is more than three times!

Considering the strength of the cavalry, this ratio will actually be much higher if you convert it!

Yan Dongxing, who took the lead, was the first general to feel this change on the entire battlefield.

The original layers of defense have become sparse at some point. The Guards, who had regrouped and pounced quickly after being defeated, began to retreat and sink inward under their desperate repeated onslaught.

There is a gap in the strength of the Guards!

"Get out, team!"

The strength of the cavalry always lies in the charge, not in the cavalry on horseback against the infantry. When they barely got rid of the entanglement of the Guards, the main force withdrew and regrouped again, and launched a final charge towards the left flank of the panicked Guards, the decisive blow appeared.

Despite exhaustion and great sacrifices, the charge of the Songjiang cavalry had an unprecedented effect. The hastily reorganized Guards defense line in front of them was unusually fragile compared to before. The cavalry in the front row was like a sharp knife, cutting into it with ease, like a sharp kitchen knife cutting through the tender tofu - not the previous slate!

"The Songjiang Army is victorious!"

"The Songjiang Army is victorious!"

Feeling the weakness of the enemy, the morale of the Songjiang cavalry was greatly boosted, and they tried their best to penetrate the entire defense line of the Guards, breaking through from the left flank to the right flank, and fought a duel!

When the last row of enemies in front of him retreated in panic and an empty passage appeared in front of him, Yan Dongxing knew that the Omanis had been defeated.

Even though the front row of the frontal array, the Guards were still able to maintain their superiority over the two brigades, but the rear row was directly penetrated by the Songjiang cavalry, and the formation was completely lost from the left flank to the right flank. The cavalry of the Songjiang Army, who succeeded in one fell swoop, struck while the iron was hot, turned back and killed again, and dealt a heavy blow to the Guards soldiers who had lost their ranks and fought separately!

In just one wave, more than 100 people were killed.

At this moment, the guards in the back row finally fell into a complete collapse, and even for the first time, there was a rout of the soldiers.

The chaos in the back row inevitably infected the front row, and it also made the two major garrison brigades that were once close to collapse like chicken blood and began a large-scale counteroffensive.

Hopefully, this thing is very scary!

Seeing the hope of victory, the soldiers of the garrison regained their courage. On the contrary, the Guards, who had already made up their minds, were defeated and retreated, even if there were still a large number of soldiers who did not hesitate to die in battle, but suffered from no chance. After the previous heavy pressure, the soldiers of the garrison who had adjusted and adapted at the moment had a way to prepare and deal with them in the face of their fighting style that did not hesitate to die together, and they were no longer as busy and overwhelmed as before.

"Win!"

Dian Yong, whose Mingguang armor was stained red with blood, and Yan Dongxing, who had received a crossbow arrow on his shoulder, invariably began to celebrate in advance.

Annihilate a full brigade of the Omani Guards! (To be continued.) )
