Chapter Ninety-Six: The Jackal
As long as the command is done properly, the cavalry is the absolute king of the cold weapon era.
The cavalry is strong, where is it strong? Not exactly because of its impact, but because of its speed.
The real weapon of cavalry is speed.
The reason why Xu Wenshan wanted to train spearmen first was to defend against cavalry. A lot of games set the spearmen as a cavalry class, which makes a little sense, but it doesn't make sense: the pikemen's role is only to stall the cavalry, but if you let the pikemen charge the cavalry, hehe, then you will find out how far away the game is from reality.
No spearmen could charge the cavalry head-on, just as the cavalry would not charge the spear phalanx head-on. The strength of cavalry is speed, and when the two sides are engaged, the cavalry will use its speed advantage to attack around the opponent's flank.
Xu Wenshan's previous advantage of relying on spearmen was to bully the opposite side without cavalry and heavy firepower, if there was cavalry on the opposite side, he could only put it in place in a hollow phalanx, and the cavalry on the opposite side didn't have to do anything, just stand and watch from a distance.
Because after the spearmen put out a hollow phalanx, they completely lost the ability to move. The cavalry only had to wait for the two sides to be consumed, and as long as the phalanx formation broke up a point, it only took one round of charge, and the spearmen's formation would be crushed like papier-mΓ’chΓ©.
So after Xu Wenshan saw the cavalry of the robbers on the opposite side, his face suddenly darkened.
The robbers on the other side seem to be gathering more and more, but they don't seem to have any intention of attacking, as if they are just waiting and watching.
Wu Yi asked, "What do they want to do?" β
Xu Wenshan said: "What else can there be?" Chongzhai, robbed Fengshi Village, burned and looted, and then beat each other, played a new dragon head, and then returned to the pre-liberation overnight. β
Beside Xu Wenshan, the natives of Fengshi Village, led by Zhang Aniu, all turned green.
Wu Yi asked, "But they don't seem to have any intention of attacking now." β
"Not now, it's because they're waiting for someone. When they were all together, the attack began. β
"What are we going to do?" Wu Yi asked nervously.
Xu Wenshan thought for a while and said, "You continue to defend, and I'll send an additional squad of Lei Laohu over later." From now on, the three of you will start shifting, rotating every two hours. β
Wu Yi nodded, the confidence in Xu Wenshan's words infected him, and he was not as panicked as before.
Xu Wenshan said to Zhang Aniu beside him again: "Boy, you don't want Fengshi Village to be bullied by a new dragon leader again, right?" β
Zhang Aniu hurriedly shook his head and said, "I don't want to." β
"If you don't want to, go and inform the people in your village who can hold shovels, and ask them to gather in front of the White Dragon Hall."
Zhang Aniu threw his legs and went. Xu Wenshan said to Wei Taigong again: "Taigong, I'm sorry, our plan can only be postponed." β
Wei Taigong smiled miserably and said, "Although the old man is old, he can still afford to wait. β
Xu Wenshan hurried back to the White Dragon Hall.
It's a tricky thing.
The 50 spearmen he brought, the White Dragon Gang in Fengshi Village, who assumed that they had enemies and only had them, did not take these bandits into account, and now it seems that he has made a big mistake.
The reason why the White Dragon Gang has been able to dominate Fengshi Village for so many years is not only because of its own force, but also because of the power it has accumulated over the years against these bandits. Now that the White Dragon Gang is scattered and the dragon head is dead, the robbers are naturally ready to move.
After all, Xu Wenshan's Luhegou looks far less terrifying than the White Dragon Gang.
Moreover, such a big change has happened in Fengshi Village, and when the village has not yet stabilized, it is the best opportunity for these bandits.
If he were in the middle of nowhere, facing so many robbers by himself, he could wipe them all out. He himself has a stinging snake army, a deer and a spider spirit, and these humans are no match at all. But here, in full view, he can't take that risk.
It's not very reliable to let the monsters sneak attack at night, and all the robbers on the opposite side died overnight, how can this be explained to people?
After killing Lu Wuji, he had a deeper understanding of the Immortal Alliance: this organization can tolerate monsters, and it can also tolerate people to kill, but it can't tolerate monsters to kill, and it can't tolerate monsters to kill people and they know about it.
If the Taoist priest knows about the murder of a monster, the Taoist priest will definitely do his best to destroy the monster.
This is the reason why Xu Wenshan has never dared to use monsters to kill mortals.
Now it's good, a group of robbers on the opposite side are bullied in the face, and their spearmen can't attack, they can only defend, and their numbers are not superior. The resources and population in the village have not yet been digested, and they will not be used for a while, and the monsters in their hands will not be used.
The next thing I have to do is to rely on these humans.
It's going to be an uphill battle.
β¦β¦
"Hahahaha......" The horse galloped past, leaving behind a string of laughter, and the owner of the laughter stood still in the distance, turned the horse's head, and stretched out his hand, only to see him holding a water bladder in his hand.
"The owner of Pegasus Village, what are you doing?" The owner of the Black Wind Village squinted his eyes and said in a low voice.
"Hehe, look at your waist." The owner of Pegasus Village laughed rudely.
The owner of Pegasus Village is called "winged horse", occupies the drinking horse slope, and has a lot of horses, which is a force that cannot be ignored in this vicinity.
When the owner of the Black Wind Village looked at his waist, he didn't know where his water bladder went, and he knew that it was stolen by the owner of the Pegasus Village. So he said angrily: "What are you doing nonsense? Come back! β
The owner of Pegasus Village smiled: "I grabbed it with my ability, why should I pay it back?" β
The owner of the Black Wind Village suppressed the anger and said, "You want to grab the water bladder, and you want to rob it with me in Fengshi Village?" β
"This is given by God, whoever grabbed it, isn't it?"
The master of the Black Wind Village snorted, and made two small movements in his hands, and his people immediately dropped the work at hand and gathered around him, seemingly faintly implicating.
The owner of Pegasus Village is a strong party, how can the owner of Black Wind Village be easy to match? The owner of Heifeng Village called "a slip of smoke", and the reason for this is that where he swept by, there were no people left, and there were no houses left, only "a slip of smoke". In the past few years, with his means, the village has become bigger and bigger, and it has faintly become the largest village around.
The owner of Pegasus raised his eyebrows: "What?" Want to get your hands dirty? β
He smiled gloomily, but immediately stopped, for he saw another group of men and horses coming not far away, led by a familiar flag.
The winged horse laughed, pointed to a cigarette and said, "Our brothers don't have internal friction first!" When I came, I saw it, not only you and me, but Yinshan Village, Tonglin Village, and Red Halberd Village, all on the way! You are fighting with us, can you finish the fight? It's better to join forces first and find a way to kill the fuck of this Fengshi Village, and it's not too late for us to share the spoils. β
