Chapter 81: Rock-Scissors

At this moment, the patriotic soldiers on this grand battlefield were actually divided into three parts because of the distance.

Some of them tightly surrounded the commander of this battle, Xie Houyin, and formed a defensive formation in a hurry, with about 30,000 people.

As for the other two parts, some are still at the head of the city, and they continue to fight fiercely with the remaining soldiers on the side of Liangguo, but because their current purpose is not to take control of the city as soon as possible, but to contain the enemy for the time being, so the intensity of the battle has eased to a certain extent.

As for Liangguo's side, because of the heavy losses in the city before, there will be nothing to do with them for a while, and they are even a little glad that the other party did not continue to attack, because as long as the other party increases his strength, their rope, which has been stretched to the extreme, may be broken.

As for the last part of the people, they were the most pitiful and embarrassed, in order to be able to rush to the aid of their own commander, they all hurriedly climbed down the ladder that had been built with great difficulty, and then grabbed the shield and long knife, and hurried as fast as possible to the place where the boss was.

And the key to this game is here!

Cao Yan, who arrived in a hurry, grabbed the reins of the war horse in one hand, held the Fang Tian painting halberd upside down in his right hand, and a blood-red robe moved with the wind, with a heroic posture and indescribable heroism.

He swooped down the hillside on horseback, and the excitement in his heart was really indescribable, he only felt that the blood was boiling all over his body, and his heart was pounding, he had never had such a fighting spirit in his life!

Even when he was in Yanzhou, he was surrounded by a lone horse and almost died under Hu Yanshi's knife, and the fighting intent in his heart was not as turbulent and fierce as it came at this moment!

Finally, he can finally go head-to-head with the opponent he has been waiting for for a long time, which is definitely a moment worth remembering for a lifetime for someone like him, whether he wins or loses, it is enough!

With Gu Cang's help, all the injuries he suffered on the battlefield in Yanzhou had healed, otherwise no matter how excited he was, it would be impossible for him to take the lead at this time, joke with his own life, and rush as the sharpest arrow in the whole army.

Seeing that the iron bucket array that was layered on top of each other in front of it was actually a little chaotic was still a hundred zhang away, but according to the speed of these cavalry charges, I was afraid that it would not take a few breaths, Cao Yan suddenly let out a light shout at this moment, even through the face armor, it quickly spread all over the rear with the wind.

"Lian Zhen!"

This corresponds to a unique way of fighting, and its meaning is by no means more than these two words can be clearly explained, and it is not even simply a formation!

After a breath, I saw that the huge team that was still moving at high speed suddenly divided, and in an instant, they didn't need to talk to each other and communicate too much, so they were naturally divided into four parts.

There were 10,000 people in the sound of horses' hooves like thunder and rain, and as soon as they turned around, they went to the left without looking back, Xie Houyin turned his head and looked, and for a moment he was shocked!

Damn it!

He couldn't help but curse angrily!

Without him, because of the direction of the other party's past, the intention of the target is too obvious, and it is not aimed at anyone else, but the direction of the loyal patriotic soldiers who are trying to rush here.

Looking at the momentum, it is obvious that it is necessary to rely on one's own strength to completely divide the two sides, focusing on taking care of those patriotic soldiers who are climbing down from the city.

Although there are actually more patriotic soldiers over there, because there is no one to command, and they are anxious to come, they are completely out of order and have no formation at all.

Especially for the infantry, once they lose their discipline and cannot unify their forces and form a battle formation with both offensive and defensive forces, when facing these cavalry, which has always been long in plundering, the next thing will definitely be a massacre without suspense.

No odds!

This is all based on the accurate analysis of the objective facts in front of us, if you face the enemy in such a loose and unshakable formation, even if the enemy is just a rabble that bullies the weak and fears the hard, your own side will also be slaughtered, and there will be no escape!

This is also why there are obviously more patriots gathered there, but they can run to target their enemy, but they only account for a quarter of the opponent's strength, this is an accurate judgment of the battlefield situation!

In other words, 10,000 people are enough, or even more than enough.

What's even more frightening is that after arriving in front of the enemy, the other 30,000 troops were also instantly divided into three, one by the one who rushed to the front, a body of armor hideous and terrifying, like born of blood, the style and the momentum of the whole person are obviously different from others, the person holding a Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand is leading, rushing from the front, and the other two groups of people and horses are separated according to the gourd painting as just now, and they are outflanked from both sides of the other party.

Seeing this situation, even he thanked Houyin himself, and he couldn't help but applaud and give the other party a heartfelt hello.

First of all, in the case of infantry against the cavalry that charges, especially in a short period of time, in a relatively hasty situation, and can not rely on the powerful chariots, as well as archers and other multiple arms to perform their duties, complement each other to form a delicate cooperation to fight the enemy, forming a formation of defense, especially this kind of iron bucket formation, is definitely the best choice.

And the cavalry that comes like a shadow and goes like the wind, how to deal with these infantry like an iron plate, of course, you can't completely rely on a force to fight hard, the heavy cavalry charge is powerful, but don't forget, relatively speaking, the biggest advantage of the cavalry is still the word "mobility"!

Cavalry originated from the nomadic people who lived in a fixed place, and their tactics were also born from the nomads, although they were carried forward in various ways, but in fact, they were best at sneak attacks, waiting for opportunities, and fighting guerrillas on the vast battlefield!

In fact, in ordinary large-scale warfare, there has never been a situation where a single arm is facing the enemy, the light cavalry is roaming on both wings, the heavy infantry phalanx is attacking from the front, and the ballista and chariot are all coordinated to make up for each other's shortcomings and form the most perfect means of attack is the right way.

And this cavalry's habitual "scissor array" is also terrifying, with the attacking men and horses in the middle as the cross fulcrum, the two centaurs on both sides are like two blades of a pair of scissors, strangled from the flanks, looking like cutting iron with scissors, not to mention the most restrained way to restrain the iron bucket formation, but it is definitely much better than completely clashing from the front.

Of course, in fact, what really amazed Xie Houyin was the reaction speed of the other team, the 40,000 people were like a person's limbs, commanding remote control, without any feeling of condensation, the person in front gave an order, and the people behind could immediately react relatively, and the whole team was instantly divided into four parts, and the formation of the whole team was not scattered, but still so neat, and still in the process of moving at high speed!

This is not such a simple matter as dividing the cake with a knife, everyone has their own ideas, and being able to do this can only show one point, that is, these people in front of them are definitely the real elite of a hundred battles, and they have been fighting together with each other for many years, and what orders they carry out is completely subconscious, so there will never be a situation where the team is messed up on the way to attack.

40,000 people as one!

This is what worries Xie Houyin the most, because he really can't think of it, he really can't think of where these people came from.

Could it be that the Liangzhou Army is not as weak as rumored, and is not even qualified to be one of the Ninth Army?

Also, Liangzhou is the land of Longxing of the Great Liang Empire, and its capital fortress is located in the center of Liangzhou, how can this defensive force be weak?

Of course, I can't say that this is actually the long-overdue Youzhou Army, and the person surnamed Xu may have failed to rebel and even subjugated the law, so it will lead to today's play.

Anyway, he didn't believe that what was in front of him was the Bloody Army, in his opinion, that banner was just a means for the other party to deliberately affect his mentality, how could he Xie Houyin be fooled?

But whether it is the former or the latter, whether it is a mistake in intelligence or Mr. Wu's mistaken ability surnamed Xu, in short, how to get through the current hurdle, that is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, he first hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Let them not have to come, hurry up and form a formation to defend on the spot!"

If tens of thousands of people over there were slaughtered by the enemy in front of their eyes like this, not to mention anything else, this would definitely be a very terrible mental shock for the people on his side, maybe they could have won the battle by insisting on it, but in the end they lost because of this helpless reason.

The second reason is that if all those people are dead, it will also have a great impact on the grand plan of the Guardian to participate in the battle and seize the entire Southland, so he must not watch them be killed.

Even if you can't come over to support this side right away, you must not become a catfish on the opponent's chopping board!

The heralds also knew the priority, and immediately waved the order flag in their hands, and ordered the people over there not to run over first, and to quickly form a formation to defend.

He didn't care about looking at the situation over there, Xie Houyin hurriedly paid attention to his side first, because he knew that he was the one who couldn't die the most, not that he spared his life, but that once he died, the army's heart collapsed, then he didn't want to fight this battle today, so from the beginning of the fight, he had been quietly hiding in the battle array.

Here, Cao Yan was riding on a horse, looking towards the opposite side, his eyes were like torches, and he glanced back and forth a few times, but found that Xie Houyin had already disappeared from his field of vision, and now he didn't know where to hide.

But it didn't matter, he didn't mind this, because he knew that with the other party's character, it was impossible to run away like this, and he never thought of winning by taking the head of the enemy in the army.

After studying the other party for many days, he also knew that Xie Houyin's thoughts were nothing more than judging that the distance of their charge was too far, the castration of the entire army had been exhausted, and the follow-up strength was insufficient, so he had a little more confidence, but today, I want you kid to see what the real blood-draining army is!

"Drive!"

Even though there are many shield walls in front of him, there are hidden killing opportunities, but he is not afraid and charges away first!

It's close!

It's closer!

Xie Houyin clenched his hands tightly, carefully observing the movements of the enemy army from the gaps, and his heart couldn't help but stir.

It's finally here!

Cao Yan stepped forward, let go of the reins, and danced lightly with both hands holding Fang Tian's halberd, as if he was a demon god of the world, and rushed into battle!
