Chapter 18: The Hope of an Armistice (2)
Hu Bin scolded a few words of fuck, and reluctantly commanded the light infantry and militia to form a dense phalanx and stand on a high slope. The Kugit Khanate is surrounded by mountains, but the grasslands in the mountains are very flat, the tribesmen are good at riding and shooting, the villages are rich in cream and meat food, and the major tribes composed of nomads are inevitably unable to stand the nature of some tribesmen to stay in the village in peace, these wolf-like riders are far away from their hometowns, wandering around all corners of Kujit, and are co-opted by the major ringing horse regiments and committing crimes collectively. What makes the heads of various tribes headaches is that some of the leaders of the Ringing Horse Regiment are simply the illegitimate sons of nobles, because they can't get fiefs and surnames, they can only give a sum of money to earn their own lives when they become adults, they are the fundamental reason for the growth of the Ringing Horse Regiment, after all, there is no nobleman who is indifferent after his children and grandchildren are killed, in fact, as long as he doesn't do too much, in fact, occasionally robbing caravans is not a bad thing for the Kugit Khanate, and half of the looted property flows back to his lord's pocket to enrich the national strength, Even the khan himself had a raiding regiment of wounded and discharged regular troops.
Hu Bin was facing a poor second-generation official, and at this time, the young but vicious face of the leader of the horse was watching Hu Bin's army line up. The outnumbered militia followed the light infantry in the front row, and behind the militia were veteran light infantry veterans in command, forming the last line of defense to protect the archers behind. The 11 archers stood in loose rows in two rows and hid ten paces behind the light infantry, and the hillside and the line laid by the infantry could not fully protect them, so several rookies clenched their one-handed weapons at hand, but it was easy to imagine how useful they were. A small number of cavalry were placed at the front of the formation by Hu Bin, ready to hedge with the light cavalry on the opposite side. The leader of the ringing horse frowned, the experience on the other side is very sophisticated, although there are many recruits, but the formation is reasonable to restrain the cavalry, the important thing is that they found a fairly steep slope, which greatly weakened the impact of the cavalry, looking at the dense spears in the front row, the leader of the ringing horse couldn't make up his mind.
How did the leader of the horses think that in fact, Hu Bin's eagle eye had already discovered them half a day ago, and it took Hu Bin half a day to find a hill on the flat grassland that could restrain the cavalry, and prepare to fight to the death with the horses, Hu Bin already had the consciousness of suffering a large loss, and the time for the formation of his troops was still too short, and it was not as good as the lord legion above the full veterans, and it was very safe to walk abroad with the protection of the paperwork, but the robbers did not recognize this, and the full legion robbers easily did not dare to approach, But who would have thought that a large gang would be summoned to rob the road.
Hu Bin was glad that he had several sets of armor and armed guards from Su Jia, they were strong in martial arts, and they had no problem with one to ten, and their survivability was improved with strengthened defense, which helped Hu Bin a little. If he and the cavalry can stop most of the cavalry, this battle still has to be fought, but if a large number of cavalry disperses the infantry formation, then what awaits Hu Bin is the loss of most of the legion formed by great effort.
Seeing that the ringing horse on the opposite side finally began to advance, Hu Bin grabbed the reins and lifted a light cavalry spear, and the other cavalry also picked up several long-pole weapons, among which Lane's baby cavalry spear was the best, and the other guards were captured second-hand bent cavalry spears. Hu Bin looked at the cavalry neatly formed in a row with him, although there were only a dozen people, but it made him arrogant and arrogant, trotted in front of everyone in front of the formation, turned his back to the slowly approaching large wave of enemies, and watched a group of fearful militiamen and resolute veterans and cavalrymen pointing at the enemy behind him and shouting loudly.
"What's that? Is it the demon who took your life? Bullshit, it's just a bunch of ants that can't survive, and the numbers can't hide their weakness. Ask the veterans around you, who our former opponents were, the wolf cubs of the elite regular army led by Saiga Khan, who far outnumbered us, and who were not beaten back to their hometown by us. I brought you here this time to prove the strength of the people of Salander and force peace, not to bow your head and ask for peace. This group of miscellaneous dogs who can't even wear armor are afraid that they can't be beaten, don't say to the heroes who have died on the battlefield in Salander after you die, that they are my subordinates, who do you think we are? ”
Veterans of the defense of Fort Garmiedt shouted feverishly: "It's the Crusader Legion." ”
Hu Bin, who watched his morale be boosted, returned to the cavalry ranks, nodded to Green, the only cavalry priest who remained behind, then closed his helmet and mask, drew his scimitar and raised it to the sky, and then pressed it down. In an instant, the cavalry rushed down the hillside, increased their speed to the maximum, and then carefully adjusted the formation and direction, lined up in a straight line that had been trained by Hu Bin many times, and rushed towards the enemy who began to accelerate.
The two sides approached 200 paces, and Hu Bin shouted loudly: "For the sake of your companions, raise your gun." Although Hu Bin shouted not the unique "for freedom" of the Salander cavalry troops, but it was more resonant with most of the riders who were not slaves, yes, the battle situation of the cavalry directly affected the survival probability of the soldiers of the fragile infantry regiment in the rear, thinking about the envious eyes of the rookies who gradually became acquainted along the way, the cavalry flattened their rifles and raised their shields, and kicked the horse's belly into a state of extreme charge.
There was nothing left in Hu Bin's brain, the surrounding scenery became bizarre, only the sharp tip of the riding spear pointed at the point was unusually clear, the enemy on the opposite side instantly met him, the moment of contact Hu Bin used all his will to aim the tip of the gun at the enemy's vital point without a shield, and cautiously opened the sword. With a slight resistance, the spear pierced the right shoulder of a ringing horse, and the powerful force caused a cloud of blood and flesh to burst from the wound, and then the man on the horse was picked up by the spear due to inertia, and died before he hit the ground. Hu Bin felt a strong attack from his left hand in front of him, and he had already rushed into the opponent's cavalry formation, and the shield made a crisp sound, breaking into two pieces and bursting out. Throwing away the shield handle and riding spear in his hand, Hu Bin quickly pulled out the scimitar and another shield, turned on the sword and sword wind and slashed wildly in all directions, splashing clouds of blood in the middle of the crowded enemies. Hu Bin couldn't see the situation of his subordinates, subconsciously slashed at unfamiliar faces, didn't even pay attention to the exhaustion of his own energy, and when the front of him lit up, he suddenly found that he had chiseled through the opponent's formation, and when he looked back, the short gap was full of corpses of people and horses, some were even cut into several pieces, and the ordinary desert horse under him could no longer support it, and he bent his front legs and threw Hu Bin down, and he kicked and lost his breath. Hu Bin looked at the cavalrymen who were still fighting not far away, leaned over and half-knelt to close the eyes of the dead war horse, clenched his scimitar and turned over the horse left by a ringing horse to return to the battlefield.
The blocked Xiangma regiment suffered a great loss, the leader of the Xiangma trembled in his heart, it was too crazy, the knight holding the scimitar split several good hands around him into two pieces with a knife, and the leader of the Xiangma who was still a few positions away from Hu Bin's scimitar found that there was a trace on the armor on his arm, this was the elite cavalry armor that his mother begged his father to secretly match him when he walked out of the house, and the armor that had not been damaged for many years of war was actually cut out by the madman with a knife in the air, and the leader of the Xiangma felt for the first time that he had chosen the wrong target. How did you provoke such a killing god?
The heavy armor of the guards and hired riders protected them well from the siege, and the cavalrymen, each with one of them, drew their blades and skillfully swung them, occasionally taking away an unwary enemy and shining in the melee. After all, the remaining horses were not something that Hu Bin could stop, and they rushed to the infantry formation, and a few flying bows and arrows accidentally took the lives of several unlucky people, and the horses left behind stopped many charging riders. But in the end the inevitable happened, more than 20 horsemen rushed into the formation, a small number of light infantry could not take care of all the cavalry, and many fell in just one shot, and the horses laughed loudly and brandished all kinds of weapons in the tide of the militia, from time to time setting off a blood-red wave. However, the good days did not pass for a while, and the senior light infantry in the rear took advantage of the loss of momentum of the riders attracted by the militia to reveal their vital points, and rushed up with two shots to eliminate many riders. The rest of the horses saw that the momentum was not good, and after taking the lives of several militiamen, they broke through the encirclement, trying to weaken the number of infantry by guerrilla attacks, but the archers seized the opportunity to shoot a few people off their horses. The angry horses turned around and rushed towards the archers, and the veteran light infantry were stopped by the panicked militiamen, so they had to reluctantly abandon their plans to rescue the archers and prepare to pacify the chaotic infantry formation.
As the screams of the archers faded away, Hu Bin finally put down the two ringing horses that were attacking him, and chased down the several ringing horses who killed the archers with a picked up spear, and finally Ryan, who cooperated with the defense, opened a hole in everyone's body. Seeing that his subordinates were lost, the leader of the horse heard that his subordinates were lost, and several hired cavalry solved the opponent and rushed towards him, hurriedly left a few cronies and fled on his horse, and when he was halfway through the run, he heard the screams behind him, and kicked the horse's belly in fright.
Taking the nomadic bow handed over by Ryan, Hu Bin turned on the stable aiming and the newly restored wind arrow technique, and the arrow crossed a trajectory with an inconspicuous arc and nailed to the horse's buttocks under the leader of the ringing horse, and suddenly there was a neighing and screaming, and the leader of the ringing horse and his horse fell to the grass, but they did not fall lightly.
Hu Bin, who shook his head, knew that the distance was too far to grasp the amount in advance, but the effect was better. When the leader of the ringing horses came to his senses, he found Ted, who was five big and three thick with two-handed battle axes, standing in front of him, and surrendered appointedly.
