Chapter 109: Hexology
"Assemble, Assemble, Assemble!" The leader of the riders urged one after another, and the cavalry finally formed up again. Although they were not in much formation, they stood loosely in a row.
The leader was about to give an order, when a rider next to him suddenly said, "Leader! Chieftains! ”
"How?"
The rider said, "Chief, shouldn't you send troops to inform the owner of the village that the enemy has been found here?" ”
The leader said contemptuously: "How else to say that I am the leader, you are a small soldier, you go to inform the owner of the village now, wouldn't it show that you are incompetent, and when you take down this group of people, we will be the first credit!" ”
The rider stopped talking, and the little leader, Tayunma, commanded again: "Keep charging!" ”
"Rack!" "Drink!"
The riders charged again, this time with a harder drive of their horses, and the effect was obvious: many of the horses were pricked with blood on their buttocks, but when the riders came to the front, the horses were still reluctant to advance.
"Pour! Pour! ”
Suddenly a rider shouted, and when everyone looked, they saw that the man was driving his horse with heavy weight, and the horse could not avoid the spear, and was directly pierced by a spear in the neck artery, and with a wail, he fell diagonally backwards.
This fell, with a few spears, and several other riders were charged, several riders rolled and fell down the high slope, several spears were also pressed to the ground, and the lines of both sides appeared at the same time.
"Kill it! Kill it! ”
"Block! Obstruct! Make up for the back! ”
The leaders of both sides shouted at the same time, this is the combat ability of the soldiers, if the enemy's cavalry can rush in along this gap, Xu Wenshan's spear array will collapse on the whole line, and if Xu Wenshan's spearmen can't fill the gap in time, it will be a matter of time before the cavalry attack.
However, the cavalry was still defeated by the huge size, and in this kind of small-scale battle full of spearheads, the cavalry was still not as flexible as a single soldier, and the terrain was unfavorable, and the cavalry that wanted to rush in along the line was either pierced to the ground by the spearhead or rolled off the horse.
In this kind of war, once the cavalry is dismounted, it means that it loses its ability to fight. Therefore, the gap cut by the cavalry did not allow them to break the phalanx, but lost several horses.
"Retreat! Drawdown! The cavalry leader shouted loudly, and the cavalry quickly retreated, and Xu Wenshan's spearmen were not mobile, so they could not pursue.
After these two encounters, Xu Wenshan had a basic evaluation of the opposing general, and he believed that the other party was a commander with basic literacy but lack of talent. The basic quality of the rider's small leader is reflected in the fact that he is not greedy. Knowing that his cavalry could no longer advance, he retreated.
The combat effectiveness of the cavalry mainly depends on speed, and the cavalry without speed is inferior to the spearmen. This is especially true of these cavalrymen. So it's wise for the rider to retreat again and again.
However, he was too lacking in talent, if he was a talented commander, even if he had not seen Xu Wenshan's formation, he would not easily charge with his own cavalry.
And the leader of the riders also had a basic judgment in Xu Wenshan's heart, and when he charged to the closest place to the other party, he could see that Xu Wenshan's face did not have any expression. Xu Wenshan's command gave him the impression that there was no command.
After letting the spearmen put out this formation, the commander had no command. Even if he had the soldiers fill in the formation, it was not at all the credit of his command, and his soldiers had already automatically filled the gap before he could speak.
Hasten. That's right, his role is only to urge, to urge the soldiers to make the rehearsed moves.
That is, before fighting this battle, he had already thought about how to place the phalanx of spearmen, what to do if there was a gap, and then let the soldiers practice repeatedly.
If there was one animal to describe this commander, it would be the tortoise.
If there was one animal to describe this group of spearmen, it would be turtles.
No matter what strong enemy you encounter, as long as you shrink your head into the turtle shell, then you don't care about anything.
Tayun Ma suddenly looked down on the opponent in front of him. Not only did he look down on him, but he hated this opponent very much.
There is no spirituality, there is no demeanor that a commander should have, but it is such a team, such a command, that the cavalry that he is proud of cannot break through.
Pegasus Village has been crisscrossing this area for so many years, relying only on cavalry. Regardless of whether the enemy is an archer or a foot soldier, it only takes one cavalry charge for all the enemies to flee, and if they do not flee, then charge again.
But he had never met an opponent who did not flee after being charged, and did not even break up in formation.
This was incomprehensible to him.
"Go and inform the owner." The cloud-treading horse said with a gloomy face.
Now he put away his pride and planned to let the big army come over.
"So what do we do?" The soldier asked.
"Dismount," said the horse, "let the horse rest." ”
"What if the enemy charges?"
The cloud-stepping horse glanced at the man: "Then get on the horse again!" ”
And on the high slope, Lei Lao Hu also asked: "They dismounted, what should we do?" ”
Xu Wenshan said: "Put the spear and sit down." ”
"And what if they suddenly charge?"
"Then pick up the spear again!"
So up and down the high slope, the hostile forces on both sides actually sat down in harmony, very relaxed.
But behind this relaxation and comfort, there is a common embarrassment between the two parties: no one can leave, no one can move.
The two sides confronted each other in such harmony.
……
On the side of the Black Wind Camp, the fire has been burning for a short time, but there is no tendency to decay at all. Among them, the ignition materials that the robbers had painstakingly collected played a big role.
A puff of smoke almost exploded: he never thought that this expedition to Fengshi Village would end like this.
At this time, an even more explosive thing happened, and one of his robbers said cautiously: "The owner of the village, the owner of the Tonglin village also led a hundred people to attack Fengshi Village. ”
"When is this all gone! What the fuck are you talking about those shit? "It's almost crumbling in a puff of smoke.
There are not even twenty people under his command now, and the people sent out to investigate the situation have never returned, and they don't know if they took advantage of the chaos to escape. So far, he has no idea how the fire started, whether someone else ordered it, and whether he found traces of the enemy.
Just when he was about to collapse, a group of miserable remnants came over, and one of them spoke: "The owner of the village, it is witchcraft, and the enemy has burned our stockade with witchcraft!" ”
"What hex? Which enemy? "A cigarette is now in turmoil, and finding this wounded soldier who spoke seems to have found a life-saving straw.
But after the wounded soldier said this, it was as if he had finally unloaded his breath and died immediately.
"Who else?! Can anyone else tell me what's going on? Yiyan said angrily.
Another robber said, "The lord of the village, he told me that it was the enemy who burned our stockade with sorcery, and as soon as they raised their hands, our tent was set on fire." ”
