I said this in order to provoke their contradictions, so that Ito would take 2,000 ronins and fight them with 4,000 "coalition forces". We don't have any gunpowder, so how did we blow up this mine? And this time they must be prepared, and they will definitely not be able to do it with the strength of the three of us.

"This mongrel traitor, we must get rid of it. Mu Wu, and that little Taoist priest, don't you want this little lady to go with you alive?"

Lu Yuxiu: We want it, but I want Lu Jia more. So Ito's safety is guaranteed no matter what. I found that little Japan is insidious, and always likes to blackmail us with people close to us.

"Yes, of course we do. I laughed, but I wasn't angry with him, "Muto Shanhe, the wound on your stomach is healed? That sword stab is too shallow, and I feel a little sorry for you now." ”

"Hmph!" Muto Shanhe was actually angry with me, and he then began to speak to those Ito's Dongei ronins in Japanese.

At that time, I felt that Ito would not be able to subdue these subordinates with any kind of coercion. Although they are afraid of Ito's methods, once someone more powerful than Ito appears, then the time has come to defect. And the three Dongying Ronin I killed with him today happened to do Muto Shanhe a great favor.

Sure enough, the Dongying Ronin, who was originally with Ito, began to switch to the Muto Mountains and Rivers. In the end, Ito's diehards were left with less than five hundred.

Now there is a huge disparity in power.

"Holy shit, I'm unlucky today. The officer suddenly pouted and said, "I thought I could pick some foreign land here, but I didn't expect to encounter such a dead end." ”

That's right, we're like turtles in an urn, just waiting for them to slaughter.

"Hurry up and surrender with your men, it's too late. "I warn the petty officer. I don't think he's the kind of hateful person either. We don't want him to suffer with us. In such a siege and annihilation battle, a few of us may escape, and the others are cannon fodder.

"Do you think I can run away?" the officer looked like he had seen it through, "Liu Sitong has already defected, and he will never allow me to leave here alive." ”

"What did he rebel against?"

"Do you trust the Dongying people so much as the King of Yan? He will never allow the generals in the army to get too close to the Dongying people. It was only half an hour before I got the news today, and he followed. Just wait and see, not only will he not care about us, but he will rush the hardest. ”

I still don't understand what he meant. Since he said that Liu Sitong took refuge in Dongying, that is why he took refuge. I don't want to surrender and be slaughtered, it's okay to fight a fish and die. It just makes it easier for us to break through.

Sure enough, as the petty officer said. The first to rush up was Liu Sitong's troops. More than 2,000 people rushed wildly with long knives. The more than 500 Dongying ronins who were at the front of the enemy did not resist, but dodged a way for them to rush in. This Ito's diehards are well-trained, and they feel that the more than 2,000 soldiers of the Northern Army are simply a rabble, and they have to deal with the more than 2,000 Dongying ronin.

Liu Sitong's team here was about to rush up, only to hear the little officer shout: "Brothers, set up the formation!"

I didn't expect this lieutenant to be able to form formations. Just looking, it was also curious, and I saw that the more than 400 people he brought quickly discharged an outward arrow in the shape of an arrow, although the "arrow" was not large. But it's enough to wrap the front face of the entire mining area. The soldiers holding the rattan cards all stood in the front row, and there was a row of soldiers behind them who took advantage of the cover of the rattan cards, and the spears in their hands were pressed very low, and a pointed tip protruded from the gap between the soldiers in front.

I think Liu Sitong is also benevolent enough. He did not prepare any archers. If the archers had been given a few rounds before the charge, those of us standing halfway up the slope would have to be shot as hedgehogs. Isn't the mine a pot for pitching pots?

In this way, the Northern soldiers charged on the following attack, if not dispersed. The numerical advantage is completely unreflected. It is very likely to be eaten by this formation, which is actually nothing new.

This is also the same as I imagined, the first batch of soldiers of the Northern Army who rushed up were quickly dispersed after encountering this formation that was also impermeable. After dropping fifty or sixty corpses. They retreated. The second charge regrouped, but the result was the same. Although they had learned their lesson and knew how to dodge the spears that came out of the soldiers' side, they only lost a few casualties. Because of fear, the power did not come out at all.

The third charge was more separated than the second, and when the Northern soldiers rushed to a hundred paces from the formation, they suddenly parted like a tide to both sides.

When I looked at the open space in the middle, I was shocked that it was going to be over. It's worse than using a bow and arrows against us. Hundreds of horses fought at the same time at the urging of the cavalry. Although we are quite condescending here, the angle of this slope is probably not even forty degrees. Therefore, the war horse does not need much running to rush up. This is equivalent to a charge in the open field, and I am afraid that the next thing will be slaughter.

The natural enemy of the infantry was cavalry in the era of cold weapons, and in modern times, it is tanks. The natural enemy of the tank is the helicopter gunship. One thing drops one thing, and now Liu Sitong's team has come up with a killer idea.

"Change formation!"

I couldn't bear to look at what was about to turn into a one-sided slaughter, but I heard the petty officer shout calmly again. The soldiers under his command understood this, and they also separated into two groups and formed two more teams of Yanling formation.

This can be regarded as avoiding its edge, and it should be the case if you want to reduce your losses. As a result, I didn't see that they were not slaughtered and reduced their losses, but wanted to break Liu Sitong's cavalry charge. The soldiers of the third team had already picked up the blade in their hands, which was a three-zhang long chopping knife.

It takes a lot of strength to chop a horse, let alone make this three-zhang long chopping knife. Such a weapon requires the cooperation of three people, one assembles a long knife, and after it is installed, it holds the saber slightly in front of it as aiming. The two stout men in the back held the hilt of the knife in all four hands, and only used force.

It's a good strategy, how long does it take to train to form such a tacit understanding. What if there were too many attritions before, and such a trio had a clear division of labor, and "missing arms and legs"? There must always be a mechanism for temporary combinations. Either everyone is anxious about who they are and their teammates, or they have signs on them that distinguish their positions.

In short, Liu Sitong's cavalry charge did not have an effect, but fled even more embarrassedly, almost annihilating the whole army. The mine behind us also helped a lot. The cavalry charge on the plain was no problem, and it was okay to run forward for 1,800 meters, with an unobstructed view and unimpeded flow. And now the big pit of the black hole behind him is a taboo for cavalry. They didn't dare to rush in with their eyes closed, so the lieutenant immediately took the lead, holding a glaive knife in his hand, followed by a dozen or so junior brothers, all of whom should have reached out their hands, and looked at the cavalry in front of them with a calm face.

Liu Sitong's team suffered defeat three times in a row, which made him a little unbearable. The opposite side was about to change formation, and when they charged again, the one hundred and ten people in front of them were all holding arm-thick spears in unison. This kind of gun cannot be carried by one person, and of course there are companions behind them to help carry it. It's like the horse chopping knife that just received a miraculous effect.

Huge spears, rushing with an equally huge inertia. The soldiers who couldn't dodge could be blocked with rattan cards, and their spears pierced their bodies and penetrated into the stomachs of their comrades behind them.

This is also a contest between the length of weapons. Liu Sitong's spear team uses a much longer spear than the spear here, although it is not as long as the saber, but the saber is in the hands of the third team, and if you don't change the formation, you can't stab it at all.

This time, the officer couldn't sit still, so he jumped up from his horse, stepped on the shoulders of the soldiers in front of him, ran two steps, and once again took off into the air, drawing a beautiful arc in mid-air with the glaive knife in his hand, and slashing at the head of a spear leader who looked like a leader.

This could be a human-powered helicopter. The dozen or so dead soldiers behind him did not show weakness, and they jumped high on the heads and shoulders of their companions in front of them, and fell into the chaos after a chaotic behead, but they were like fish in water. The spears in the hands of those with spears could not be wielded, and a few of them fell into the crowd, and some of them changed to more convenient short knives, usually in pairs, and the combination of long and short killed a happy one in the team.

Won again for a while.

Even the Dongying Ronin, who was watching the scene from the sidelines, couldn't help but applaud. Although it is not a kingdom, there are common enemies.

"It's amazing. I didn't expect this formation to be so exquisite. Teams of hundreds of people are side by side, and they can defeat the strong with the weak. Wuchen admired nervously on the side. (To be continued......)
