Chapter XXVII: Counteroffensive
Spiked wooden stakes lined the road ahead, and there were many corpses mixed in them, and the owners of these corpses were warriors who had galloped before them a moment ago.
However, at this moment, it was too late, and the war horse could not stop at all under the high-speed charge, not to mention that there were still many cavalry behind him who were still charging, and if they stopped at this time, they would only be knocked over.
In this way, they know that there is no life in front of them, and they know that there is a ghost gate in front of them, but they are powerless to stop it, they can only watch themselves step into hell, and the only thing they can do is to shout and vent their fear before they die. "Nope! Yes! ”
"Be careful! There is an ambush ahead! ”
"Stop." At the last moment before they died, some of them sent a signal of extreme danger to their comrades behind them.
Hearing the continuous screams in front, the cavalry behind also realized that something was wrong, but unfortunately they didn't hear the general's order, and they couldn't hold the reins at the same time, plus the war horse had just accelerated, so they couldn't stop immediately, and even if they wanted to stop, they had to rush forward for a distance.
Therefore, for various reasons, after all the remaining people stopped, they looked forward, and the next moment everyone who was left took a breath of cold air in shock.
The front was strewn with corpses, stacked on top of each other, and these were their brothers and companions.
However, while they were still immersed in this deep sadness, no one noticed the sound of a rain of arrows breaking through the air from behind them.
"Huh! Yes! Ahh The screams woke the surviving cavalry from their grief, but when they turned around, they found that some of their comrades had fallen from several arrows.
Looking at the scene in front of them, the last dozen or so people gave up the move of pulling their horses and fleeing for their lives, the war had been lost, the generals had died, most of their comrades had fallen, they had no face to go back, they had lost the courage to start all over again.
In this way, the dozen or so people stood on their horses in a daze, their eyes glazed and their eyes scanned the surroundings.
Another rain of arrows fell, and this time there was no longer anyone standing on the horse.
On the high mountain, Fang Tianzheng saw that the enemy army had retreated again, and then quickly ran to the front of the banner, intending to add some more soldiers.
You must know that just now, he wiped out about 200 sword and shield soldiers of the enemy, which is 600 feats.
In addition, some of the merit points he had left before should barely be eight hundred, so that he could add a lot of soldiers.
This battle is really difficult to fight, the enemy army, whether it is the army or the generals, is very good, and if you suffer a little loss, you will know that you will immediately change the formation, and it is really difficult to fight.
However, fortunately, they can fight on their own soil and can replenish their troops at any time, and unless the enemy returns to his lair, he will die one less and one less. Fang Tianzheng sighed with emotion, and then opened the window interface at the flagpole.
This look startled him, obediently, the merit value actually reached 9,800 points.
Do you dare not to go against the sky like this, I just killed two hundred sword and shield soldiers of the enemy, how could I give so many? Could it be a bug? Forget it, hehe, I earned it myself anyway, by the way, let's see what kind of troops to buy?
This Tianzheng was a little hesitant, now is a matter of life and death, nothing can be sloppy, and this nearly 10,000 merit points must not be spent indiscriminately.
By the way, let's see what formation the enemy has changed before considering what number of troops to increase.
At the foot of the mountain, the enemy was still led by sword and shield soldiers, but followed by a phalanx of archers. As soon as the formation was set up, it began to move towards the top of the mountain? March.
"If you had started with this formation, I would have been beaten with heavy losses, but for now, hehe." Seeing this, Fang Tianzheng's heart suddenly relaxed, as the so-called soldiers in his hands, he didn't panic, he had 10,000 merit points in his hands, if he exploded the light cavalry alone, he could also burst out a thousand cavalry.
Do you want to blow up the hussars? Fang Tianzheng began to hesitate.
The other party still has 300 sword and shield soldiers, if these 300 sword and shield soldiers play well, they can still withstand the impact of a thousand light cavalry, after all, this road is so wide, once this is blocked, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Besides, I don't have any riders by my side now. However, if I use 500 sword shield soldiers to fight the enemy's 300 sword shield soldiers, won't it be a problem? Then they will rush with cavalry, and they will definitely kill them, and they will lose their armor.
However, Fang Tianzheng thought about it for a while and still denied it, mainly because the enemy had a lot of archers, even if the light cavalry had eliminated this wave of enemies at a great price, but the enemy's lair still had a lot of troops, if the loss was too great, the victory would outweigh the loss.
After thinking about it, Tianzheng decided to recruit two thousand archers. Let the sword and shield soldiers come forward, so many archers don't believe that shè will not kill them.
The next moment, after Fang Tianzheng clicked and recruited two thousand archers, there were only about four thousand merit points left, and these were kept by Fang Tianzheng just in case.
Seeing the two thousand archers who came out in an instant, all the generals on the top of the mountain were surprised, but the next moment they were all surprised, how could there be so many meritorious points? Fang Tianzheng didn't understand this point himself, but at this moment, everyone was full of confidence in being able to repel the enemy's attack along the way. As long as the commander does not want to order the archers to charge and kill the enemy, then it is inevitable that the enemy will be repulsed, and even total annihilation is possible.
"General Qiyu, our army annihilated all the enemy's cavalry all the way on the right side, with a total of more than 750 enemies, including three generals, 200 archer cavalry, 500 light cavalry, and 50 heavy cavalry." At this moment, a general reported to Fang Tianzheng with an excited face.
Hearing this, all the generals and Fang Tianzheng instantly understood how they could have so many merit points at once.
"Hey, it turns out that this road is a feint, and you want to use this to cover the mining soldiers who are sneaking up on me all the way on the right side, sample, you still dare to fight with me at this point." Fang Tianzheng was excited after hearing this, obediently, the enemy was actually tricked, that was really enough for them to drink a pot, but it was a bit of a pity, all the way on the left, why didn't the enemy go, it was really a waste of his own jīng heart arrangement.
After destroying all the enemy's cavalry units and getting so many merit points, Fang Tianzheng was in a good mood.
With a wave of his big hand, he shouted, "The phalanx of sword and shield soldiers pressed forward, and the phalanx of archers followed." ”
So the armies of the two sides fought together again, and the swords and shields slashed each other, and the two sides were evenly matched. However, in the case of archers, the enemy army under the mountain will suffer a big loss.
The position is already in a low position, and the accuracy and strength of the upward shè are not as good as the shè from the top down. In addition, Fang Tianzheng had a full 2,200 archers, although due to the terrain problem, he could only use 500 arrows at a time, but the enemy couldn't afford to wear it.
After the first wave of arrow rain, Fang Tianzheng's 500 men fought against the enemy's 400 archers, taking advantage of their numbers and geographical advantages to kill 200 enemies at the cost of losing 150 people.
Then the first wave of men withdrew, whether wounded or not, and the second wave of 500 men immediately made up for it, and then wiped out all the enemy's archers with 50 casualties.
After killing the enemy's archers, Fang Tianzheng originally planned to order the archers to continue to advance and quickly destroy the enemy's broadsword soldiers, but because the sword and shield soldiers were still fighting, blocking the road, making it impossible for the army to advance.
The enemy also decisively took advantage of this opportunity to order the sword and shield soldiers to retreat quickly.
Seeing this, Fang Tianzheng immediately ordered his sword and shield soldiers to retreat.
Since the order the other party received was only to cover the withdrawal of the rest of the troops, he did not continue to chase Fang Tianzheng's sword and shield soldiers and continue to fight. The sword and shield soldiers fought slowly, and after fighting for so long, only about fifty sword and shield soldiers fell on both sides.
After Fang Tianzheng saw that the two sides had opened a certain distance, he immediately ordered, "Release the arrow!" ”
Subsequently, five hundred bows and arrows flew down, and this time, the bow will be Nu? Having learned from his experience, Erqi ordered the archers to work in groups of ten, while aiming at one person at the same time.
Sure enough, after such a rain of arrows, the casualties of the sword and shield soldiers below suddenly increased greatly, and about fifty people fell again, and only two hundred remained.
Under such a blow, the enemy's sword and shield soldiers were shè to 仈jiǔ arrows at the same time, and they were all broken by the shield and killed.
Seeing this, the commander of the enemy's sword and shield soldiers hurriedly ordered all of them to retreat, not daring to stand up for the shield anymore, and if there were four waves of arrows, they would all be wiped out.
Seeing this, Fang Tianzheng originally planned to continue to let the big sword soldiers rush forward as cannon fodder, but now he also gave up, after all, the less the loss, the better, and it is naturally the best to be able to eat the enemy's force without damage.
Seeing the enemy retreating, it goes without saying that another wave of arrows is chasing them. However, they escaped after leaving behind a hundred corpses.
