Chapter Twenty-Eight: The End of the Test
"The whole army obeys the order, let me catch up and destroy them." Seeing that the enemy was about to flee, Fang Tianzheng hurriedly ordered the soldiers to rush forward.
At the foot of the mountain, the enemy's main force had just withdrawn from the mountain, and was immediately blocked by the archers who had been waiting for a long time, but the opposing commander hurriedly transferred the remaining phalanx of 400 archers to the outer layer.
In this way, Fang Tianzheng's cavalry troops retreated one after another in order to avoid excessive losses with the opposing archers, so that the enemy army also highlighted the encirclement of Fang Tianzheng's cavalry troops after leaving dozens of soldiers.
However, these archers chased shè from behind from time to time, because there were still more than 1,200 people in the broadsword phalanx at the moment, and the archers phalanx could not be fully guarded, so they would be sneak attacked by those archers from time to time.
"General, are we fighting or retreating now?" The opposing general, Marino, asked the main general.
"It's almost time now, Bali Ho should be back with our cavalry troops soon, these damn guys, when our cavalry team comes back, they will look good, now I order the broadsword phalanx to be contracted, and the archers phalanx to be outside."
"No."
Just after the enemy army reorganized its formation, I saw more than 100 soldiers with swords in one hand and shields in the other running back desperately not far away.
"It's our phalanx of sword and shield soldiers, why are there only so few people left of them?" Soon the enemy soldiers noticed.
However, before those sword and shield soldiers could get closer, they suddenly saw two teams of cavalry not far away.
Damn, it's the enemy's cavalry. "Beware of cavalry sneak attacks!" The soldiers shouted to the sword and shield soldiers not far away.
Upon hearing the shouts, the sword and shield soldiers reacted quickly, quickly crouching down and raising their shields in two rows to block the enemy's attack from both directions.
"Whoosh" A rain of arrows sounded. Ahh Screams rang out incessantly. Since the opponent is an archer cavalry, he is flexible and can often run close, look at the gap and then release the arrow, so from time to time someone will be hit by the arrow, and once a person is hit by the arrow, a gap will soon be revealed, and the opponent can shè more arrows from this gap.
By the time the first rain of arrows had passed, there were only thirty or so left standing, but before they could recover from the rain of arrows, horses and horsemen with machetes rushed towards them.
"Ahh
Looking at this scene in front of him, the other soldier's heart was full of anger, and at the same time, it was also mixed with fear.
"Bastard, I'll make you pay when my cavalry arrives." Before the commander could order his soldiers to come to the rescue, the remaining more than 100 sword and shield soldiers were so alive in front of him that the enemy was completely annihilated, which made him feel very angry.
It didn't take long for the ground to shake, puffs of smoke and dust rolled up in the distance, and many cavalry rushed towards it.
"Hmph, my cavalry unit has finally arrived, now it's time to show you some face. The cavalry of the other party has already appeared, so the cavalry galloping here is naturally the cavalry unit under his command, and they should appear at this time. The enemy commander thought to himself.
However, these cavalry did not immediately come towards their camp, but unexpectedly converged with the opposing cavalry force.
"What!" This made the enemy commander let out an exclamation.
When he looked closely, the cavalry were all light cavalry, no archers, no heavy cavalry, and more importantly, he did not see a general led by his own subordinates.
Seeing this, he immediately realized that something was wrong, so he shouted loudly, "The whole army retreats." ”
At this moment, Fang Tianzheng also led his large army to follow. Just now, when he was chasing down the mountain, Fang Tianzheng used all the remaining merit points to buy five hundred light cavalry again.
"Horses step on the company battalion, iron hooves are clanging, light cavalry charge me! Crush their formation! At this moment, Fang Tianzheng no longer had any scruples, he couldn't let this group of enemies escape, even if he suffered heavy casualties, he had to keep them.
The next moment, the horses neighed, the thunder rolled, and a thousand light cavalry, led by the cavalry general Ulba, rushed to the enemy phalanx without fear of death.
In formation, the enemy saw a large number of cavalry chasing behind him, and hurriedly placed the phalanx of archers in front, followed by the broadsword team.
The place where the two sides fought was a plain, which was very suitable for cavalry charges, and of course for the light cavalry to break through the phalanx of 400 archers.
The distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer, three hundred meters, two hundred and fifty meters, and it seems that they are about to enter the effective range of the enemy archers. At this moment, Ulba suddenly led the team to turn around, and took the lead in an arc to circle directly in front of the enemy archers' phalanx.
"Not good." Seeing this, the opposing general knew that something was wrong, but at this moment, it was too late to shout to change the formation, and the opponent's cavalry team quickly became as fierce as a tiger entering a flock after avoiding the direct face of the archers' phalanx? Inserted into his phalanx of broadsword soldiers.
A one-sided slaughter began, because there were too many cavalry on Fang Tianzheng's side, the only 1,200 broadsword soldiers could not stop the cavalry rushing at high speed and wielding sabers, and they all died tragically under their swords one by one.
Only occasionally a few broadsword soldiers pierced the opponent's war horses with machetes, or cut off the opponent's horses' feet, thus inflicting a slight loss on Fang Tianzheng's cavalry troops.
The archers who were close to each other were even more vulnerable, and soon after Fang Tianzheng's cavalry team broke out of this combined phalanx composed of broadsword soldiers and archers, there were only a few soldiers left who were still standing in place.
Earlier, just as the cavalry was about to break through into the enemy phalanx, the enemy commander rode out of the phalanx alone.
"Want to run? It's a pity that you won't be able to run away today. Seeing that the enemy general abandoned his troops and fled, the corners of Fang Tianzheng's mouth turned upward, revealing an evil smile.
As soon as the enemy's main general rushed out of the battle formation, he suddenly found that a large number of archers appeared not far away.
The situation was critical, and he didn't think much about it, so he rushed all the way to kill his horse, and he wanted to use his saber to kill a bloody way.
Whoosh, arrows flew towards him. The enemy commander is swinging his sword to block these arrows, only to suddenly realize that the target of these arrows is not himself at all, but the war horse under him.
Soon, a wail sounded, and the war horse under his crotch finally collapsed due to multiple injuries and the exhaustion of jīng's strength.
With a leap, he jumped off his horse and looked around, but at some point, the sound of fighting on the battlefield had completely stopped, and only the black and oppressive enemy troops were left around.
Two hundred archers surrounded him in the middle.
"Hehe, I was defeated, and I'm afraid my cavalry unit will never come back." He laughed to himself, and kept thinking about all the orders he had given along the way, what was wrong? He asked self-deprecatingly.
“shè!” At the sound of the order, countless arrows flew towards him, and he didn't hear it, and he was still muttering that sentence on his lips.
Poof, poof, poof, just like that, with a few sharp arrows entering his body, he fell into the chaos of arrows with endless questions.
After this battle, the main general and all the generals of the other side were killed, and the balance of this war completely tilted in favor of Fang Tianzheng.
Later, Fang Tianzheng recruited another 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, leaving 400 sword and shield soldiers and 200 archers to watch the house.
Fang Tianzheng personally led 700 sword soldiers, 1,000 sword and shield soldiers, 2,000 archers, 1,000 light cavalry, and 200 archers, and swung his army down and smashed Huanglong.
Relying on the absolute superiority of troops and generals, Fang Tianzheng ordered 1,200 cavalry to hold the left and right sides of the road in two ways, and the rest of the army to attack the center.
In the end, the enemy was completely wiped out by Fang Tianzheng's army because of the huge gap in strength, and Fang Tianzheng's final victory in this battle was announced.
"Whew, I've finally done this." When he got the hint again, knowing that he had passed the test, Fang Tianzheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This task made his whole nerves tense.
"Very good, young man, you have passed my test, and your ability to defeat the opponent in the face of weak forces shows that you still have a certain talent for strategic planning, at least in terms of strategic planning. I've finally found the heir I'm looking for. The previous light and shadow reappeared.
"Hehe, where is it, it's average, I still have a lot of deficiencies to keep learning." Fang Tianzheng said modestly, constantly shouting in his heart, give benefits, give me some practical benefits, I want money, I want many, endless wealth.
