Chapter 112: Straw after Straw

"Anyone? Pull him along! Fast! Fill up the formation! Protect the wounded! ”

There was a commotion in the spear phalanx, and the soldiers in the back row dragged a wounded soldier back into the formation. The soldier had been kicked by the horse's hooves, and the horse that had kicked him had fallen to the ground and slowly slid down the slope with the rider on the horse.

The soldiers in the rear rushed forward to resist the gap, and the cavalry saw that there was no room for attack, so they retreated.

After withstanding another round of charges, Xu Wenshan's troops were still attritional, and at the price, the enemy's cavalry also lost two horses.

After several charges, the cavalry thoroughly figured out the fate of the phalanx of spearmen, and the weakness of this formation was in the four corners of the phalanx, where the spears were the most sparse and the weakest.

In fact, the spear phalanx was not yet a complete phalanx, and the most powerful phalanx in history should have been the Macedonian phalanx. The difference between the Macedonian phalanx and the phalanx currently trained by Xu Wenshan is that the Macedonian phalanx is hexagonal, and the spears on the six corners are not sparse, which is much more reliable than Xu Wenshan's current phalanx.

The reason why Xu Wenshan did not train that phalanx was mainly because the number of people was too small. It's really hard to put out a Macedonian phalanx without one or two hundred people.

Xu Wenshan was anxious, and his opponent was not in a hurry.

After seven or eight rounds of charges, the cavalry troops were also sleepy and tired, and after repeated charges, the horses were very tired and sweating like pulp. And after many full failures, the riders have become suspicious of themselves, and the next few attacks are obviously not as effective as before.

Tayun Horse suspected that if he charged a few more times, the morale of his side would collapse first. Even if morale does not fall, the horses will wear out.

But he can't help but rush, if he can't take the enemy here, not only will the reputation of Pegasus Village be ruined, but then they will also face the positional battle of Fengshi Village, which is not what their cavalry is good at, and he will definitely not be the main force when he steps on the cloud horse.

So if you want to make merit, you have to look at the battle in front of you.

Xu Wenshan's troops are a camel close to collapse, and the rider is also a horse close to collapse.

Whoever can fight to the end will see who can gently throw the last straw on the opponent's back.

But judging from the current situation, the chances of Xu Wenshan's side winning are slim.

The starlight gradually dimmed, and the eastern sky was a little white.

As the faint morning light improved visibility a few degrees, a group of soldiers walked from the end of the field of vision.

Both sides of the battlefield were at a stalemate and were drawn to the attention of the soldiers.

"It's reinforcements!" The Wind Chaser was the first to scream.

"Reinforcements from the stockade have arrived!"

The morale of the cavalry team was immediately boosted, and with the addition of this new force, the morale of the enemy would plummet.

And the reason why their own team can't attack for a long time is just because the army is too single, only cavalry, if the reinforcements have archers, it will be easier to defeat the enemy.

At this moment, the heart of the Deer and Crane Escort almost rose to the throat. But the next moment, from the edge of the field of vision, I saw a neat field of spears cut through the fog.

"It's reinforcements! It's a big strong! Lei Lao Hu shouted first.

The deer and crane guards cheered, but this time the morale of the cavalry team fell to the bottom.

"Damn, a turtle is quite difficult, and there is one more!"

The troops advancing towards the outside of the village were none other than Li Dazhuang's squad.

Although Xu Wenshan gave him the task of blocking the enemy and defending the cottage in the back mountain, after a short repair, he still decided to go out of the village to meet the attack.

This is a rather heavy decision, if Xu Wenshan's troops are wiped out, then the heavy responsibility of guarding Fengshi Village will all fall on him, if he rushes out at this time, it is equivalent to giving up the defender's geographical advantage and going to the field battle that the enemy is good at.

But he still left the village, only because his instincts, as a temporary commander, told him that the situation outside the village should be a stalemate.

Intuition is a hard thing to say, but the reason why countless talented commanders can always make the right judgment is because of intuition.

"Don't worry about the high slope for now, let's cook this one first!" The cloud-stepping horse shouted.

He led the cavalry to charge towards that unit and tried to attack from the diagonal rear, but Li Dazhuang immediately commanded: "Hollow phalanx!" ”

This is a very small hollow phalanx, the soldiers are almost standing back to back, but it is still very effective, the cavalry's horse speed in the moment of contact with the phalanx, instantly drops, naturally does not have any impact on the enemy.

Xu Wenshan ordered: "Advance in line formation!" Rush to the rescue! ”

The soldiers marched neatly down the high slope with a rainbow of momentum. The cavalry team also discovered the enemy's movement and had to send troops to block it, but as soon as the cavalry team approached, Xu Wenshan ordered the team to change into a phalanx, which made the cavalry team hate itchy, but there was nothing they could do with these two turtles.

Although the arrival of Li Dazhuang's unit boosted morale, it could not change the overall situation of the war. Once again, the two sides are at a stalemate.

The sun rises, the sun sweeps away the haze, and in the west, the sun is coming.

Everyone looked at those men, and with them there was a cheer on one side and a fall to the bottom of the other: that force was the cavalry of Pegasus.

"Oh!" The cavalrymen raised their weapons and shouted loudly.

With the reinforcement of this army, the cavalry force could reach 60 men, which created a numerical advantage over the troops in Luhegou.

"Wait, something doesn't seem right."

The Lightning Horse was about to catch up, but the Wind Chasing Horse suddenly grabbed him.

This unit is the last cavalry unit of Pegasus Village, and the leader is not a winged horse, but a small leader of Pegasus Village, who can't even be named.

When the little leader reached a place 50 paces away from the cavalry, he stopped advancing, and the leader said: "Please come over to the leader of the cloud horse, the villain has a message from the master of the village to pass on." ”

Tayun Ma said suspiciously: "What kind of message?" ”

"I can't say it, the owner of the village can only tell the leader of the cloud horse one person."

Tayun Ma glanced at the cavalry, and saw that their expressions were solemn, as if they were very solemn.

He rode forward and approached the cavalry, and said, "What commandment?" ”

"Please come with your ears." The little leader said.

At the moment when the cloud-stepping horse poked its head out, the waist knife in the little leader's hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and a head flew high, spinning in the sunrise sky, and then fell into the dust on the ground with a "bang".

"The winged horse is dead! The cloud-stepping horse has been punished by me! Hurry up and surrender the others! ”

The news was like thunder, and everyone was speechless.
