Chapter 536 [Encounter]
Qi Lin and his son are very familiar with the terrain of the Pinghua Commander, and the other Qi family members may only be familiar with the places they often come and visit, but for the Qi Lin father and son, especially the two military commanders of Qi Lin and Qi Lie, their own terrain is not clear, so there is no need to fight, just admit defeat, so where there are towns and villages in the Pinghua Territory, where are the big roads and small roads, where are the rivers and mountains and forests, they are very clear.
And Qi Meng is not bad, although he is not a coach, he doesn't need to remember so many things, but over the years, he has more opportunities to go out than Qi Lin and Qi Lie, although there are many places he doesn't completely remember in his mind, but he has actually walked through the experience, as for Chen Yan, because Chen Shu is worried that it will be too conspicuous and attract the attention of the Tianzheng Chen family, and he can't be exposed at will without a backer, so Chen Yan only knows a little about the terrain, but when he fled with Chen Shu back then, he walked a lot of paths, For those inconspicuous paths, he has a lot of experience.
However, even so, even if there are many people in the team who know the path, it is impossible to completely avoid the search of the Qi family's troops, after all, they don't know where the Qi family's troops are, although the soldiers of the special forces will always have a squad as scouts, explore the way in front, and avoid places where there are enemies, but there are too many troops used by the Qi family to search, and it is impossible for the scouts to completely cover a large circle around the large army, and there are always some Qi family troops who can pass through the gaps of the scouts.
So, a few days after He Ping's troops left Pinghua City, they encountered the first Qi family force to search for them, which was a mixed infantry and cavalry force of about 300 people, one general, two partial generals, less than a hundred cavalry troops, and the rest were infantry, but perhaps they knew that He Ping and their troops had a large number of cavalry. Therefore, the infantry of this Qi army is all sword players and pikemen who specialize in cavalry, and then they are equipped with a few crossbowmen, such as Pu Dao soldiers and jumping soldiers who specialize in foot combat, but there is no one.
The first encounter with the enemy is not easy to deal with, although in terms of numbers, the gap between the two sides is not large, and the special forces have at least one horse, and the soldiers are elites who are proficient in infantry and cavalry combat, so there are no obvious advantages and disadvantages. But this is the enemy's home field, and the enemy can get in touch with other troops around him at any time, and then as long as He Ping and them are dragged here, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, it will be the result of direct crushing.
He Ping has more cavalry, but the opponent's infantry is specially used to deal with cavalry, and the crossbowmen come a few rounds in advance, coupled with the defense of the sword players, it can slow down the cavalry's charge very well. Without the impact, the advantage of the cavalry will be reduced considerably, plus the pikemen will not have a disadvantage in attack range, as long as the cavalry loses speed. There is no difference in combat effectiveness between pikemen and cavalry, so in terms of the equipment of the troops, the enemy is also more dominant.
Now He Ping has many advantages, except for masters. In addition to the relatively strong average strength, that is, although both sides are psychologically prepared, they are not prepared for battle. And the cavalry actually doesn't need to prepare for battle, you can charge after seeing the enemy, but the infantry can't, if you want to deal with the cavalry, you must find a suitable position and then arrange the formation, like this sudden encounter, the infantry has no time to form a suitable formation, then the cavalry is looking for death.
He Ping and the others saw this at a glance, so when they saw the enemy and found them, they didn't think much about it, leaving the old Qi Lin and Chen Yan, who had no military experience, with some troops to protect the carriage, the rest of the people rushed directly to the enemy, the enemy obviously understood the current dilemma, so they took all the cavalry to meet them, although the number was not much, but at least it could be delayed enough to let the infantry set up the formation, as long as the infantry formation was arranged, with their troops even if they could not win, It was also able to hold out until reinforcements arrived.
"Maximum combat effectiveness, quick victory!"
Wen Fang's order came, the soldiers of the special forces raised the magic weapons in their hands one after another, and began to prepare to drive the seven obsidian crystal circuits inside, the current situation is obvious, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it is for their side, only by quickly defeating the force in front of them, and then leaving the battlefield before reinforcements arrive, to avoid falling into the quagmire of continuous fighting, can they seize the initiative and continue to move towards the destination.
"The leading general is called Wang Fang." While charging, Qi Lie began to introduce the enemy generals who also rushed towards them with cavalry on the other side, as the commander of the Qi family's troops, how many generals in the Qi family can lead troops to fight, Qi Lie has them in mind, even if it is a partial general, he can recognize it at a glance, and can tell the general characteristics, at this time he pointed to this Wang Fang and said:
"Wang Fang is Qi Nan's henchman, he was just a partial general before, it seems that he is now promoted, Wang Fang doesn't have much ability, but he is stubborn and very greedy for merit, so he definitely didn't notify the other Qi troops around him in time, but wants to use these troops to solve us, and wants to snatch all the credit, this is our opportunity, as long as the speed is fast, if the battle is solved before Wang Fang reacts, we can avoid the situation that reinforcements continue to come."
Listening to Qi Lie's words, Wen Fang nodded, looked at the approaching enemy cavalry units in front, and began to order: "He Ping, Qi Meng!" The two of you lead fifty cavalry from the two wings of the enemy's formation to insert diagonally from the two wings of the enemy's formation, and strive to kill the enemy's two partial generals as soon as possible, Qi Lie and I lead the remaining 100 cavalry to attack from the front, and be sure to behead Wang Fang with one shot, everyone, the magic guide weapon is fully opened, even if it can't scare people, it must make the opponent's war horse difficult to control! ”
Everyone immediately started to act according to Wen Fang's order, since Qi Meng and Qi Lie have officially joined the Qingyang Collar and have become mortal enemies with the Qi family, they will naturally no longer be treated according to the standards of prisoners of war, at this time they have already received their own magic weapons, Qi Meng got a fire-attribute halberd, and Qi Lie is a water-attribute spear, one thing after another that breaks common sense, has made Qi Meng and Qi Lie a little numb, but at the same time, their resistance to joining the Qingyang Collar is also getting lower and lower.
He Ping and Qi Meng are the two strongest combat effectiveness in the team, using them as the spear head to charge, it is the most suitable configuration, the two got the order, and each with fifty cavalry rushed to the left and right corners of the enemy's formation, He Ping was holding in his hand at this time, it was also a fire attribute halberd, although the fire attribute magic weapon was a little smaller than the wind attribute in terms of attack range, but the attack power was higher, not to mention, it was more effective for horses.
He Ping's war horses were all trained with the soldiers of the special forces before, and of course they would be frightened when they saw the effect of the magic weapon at the beginning, but now, after training habits, they can already ignore these effects and continue to charge, but the Qi family's war horses have not been trained in this area, and at this time, seeing He Ping and Qi Meng rushing over with fire-burning weapons, the Qi family's cavalry has not officially engaged in battle, and the horses have not obeyed the call.
The enemy's cavalry formation was chaotic in an instant, and the two partial generals had to slow down and give orders to the other cavalry around them to stabilize their positions, but it was the flaw of this moment, He Ping and Qi Meng would not let go, the two rushed into the enemy's formation at the same time, one left and one right, and everywhere they went, it was really a person on their backs, without any exaggerated factors in it, and the two partial generals just reacted, and could only raise the spear in their hands to block, but ordinary weapons are not opponents of magic weapons, He Ping didn't even use much strength, and the flames around the halberd had already made a contribution.
Qi Meng's side is the same, although the attack on the hood is blocked, but the flames will not be blocked, the two partial generals have not realized what is happening, there is a large ball of flames in front of them, as the screams sounded, the two partial generals lost their sight, and the movements in their hands also stopped, and He Ping and Qi Meng were the second blow casually, and the two partial generals who had no power to resist met the king of Hades like this, and at this time, the troops led by Wen Fang and Qi Lie had also rushed up from the front.
