188 Turning the tide of battle
readx;
The wing captain of the city guard felt that although the loss was not small, his own number was still twice as large as that of the other party, and he knew that if he could retreat and regroup, they still had a chance to win, but what he didn't expect was that Fang Ruitao didn't give him this opportunity at all. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing the other party retreating, Fang Ruitao immediately ordered to change the formation, and the bottom edge of the original crescent-shaped moon wheel began to advance slowly, and soon overtook the troops at the crescent moon, and when the formation change was completed, the glaive formation had already turned into a conical formation suitable for charging.
The cone formation is the same as the application of the phalanx in the infantry, it is also the basic formation of the cavalry on the Heavenly God Continent, and at this time, Fang Ruitao applied this formation to the infantry, and the same impact effect also appeared. Fang Ruitao stood at the head of the sharp cone formation, and led the entire four ** teams to charge towards the retreating city guards.
Before the city guard soldiers who had just retreated had time to catch their breath, the fourth ** team had already chased after them. Seeing the fierce enemy, the city guard soldiers had no choice but to continue to run.
All the high-ranking generals in the stands and some of the nobles who were invited to the stadium looked at the spectacle in amazement. A group of more than 2,000 men was fleeing for their lives, and behind them a group of well-armoured but much smaller soldiers were desperately chasing, and those soldiers who could not run in front of them would be served with a big stick until they fell to the ground.
Looking at the fierce combat style of the fourth ** team, the corners of Wei Xian's eyes twitched in the stands, and he could naturally see with his battle king-level vision that the lightest of those defeated soldiers would have to lie on the bed for a few days, and the heavy ones were already broken bones and tendons, and they would have to recuperate for at least half a year.
The people of the fourth ** team carry hundreds of pounds of stones every morning for cross-country running, coupled with the practice of the art of tuna, their endurance is far better than that of their opponents. After another half an hour of chasing, the physical strength of the city guard soldiers could not keep up, and they began to fall behind in large numbers, and then were beaten by the soldiers of the fourth ** team to the point that they could only lie on the ground and gasp.
Seeing that there was no hope of victory, the captain of the city guard had no choice but to order the troops to withdraw from the playing field. Hearing the Wing Commander's order, the remaining soldiers of the City Guard were pardoned, and they ran to the edge of the field with cheers, as if to meet the victory. These soldiers raised their remaining physical strength, and in an instant, they actually increased their speed a lot, which caught Fang Ruitao and others who were chasing behind them off guard, and finally hundreds of people escaped, but at this time they were already exhausted, and everyone was lying on the ground gasping for breath.
Automatically exiting the field is considered to admit defeat, so Fang Ruitao commanded the troops to stop the pace of advancement, slowly returned to the center of the field, and reorganized into a strict formation, and the eight hundred officers and soldiers actually stood in the middle of the field. The blazing sun shone on their armor and shone silver, and a fierce momentum emanated from the soldiers, like a beast that chooses to devour people, and made the hearts of everyone in the stands tremble.
At this time, Gu Qiran had forgotten the idea of sacrificing Fang Ruitao, at this time he was happy to have such a strong subordinate, after all, he and Fang Ruitao had no conflict of interest before, and there was a reason for him to stumble, so now he has begun to consider focusing on cultivating this talent.
"I declare the end of this game, and the 4th ** team of the 13th Wing of the 2nd Division of the Praetorian Guards wins. As today's host, Gu Qiran stood up and announced the results of the game. Hearing his victory, the soldiers of the fourth ** team burst into cheers, and he actually won a complete victory in the face of an enemy five times his size, such a battle record was enough to shock the entire imperial capital defense force.
At this time, Wei Xian sat on the chair with a blue face, and looked at the four ** teams lined up in a neat line without saying a word, and the armor that exuded silver light made him feel extremely dazzling. Qian Zhong, the commander of the Outer Garrison Army on the side, took a sip of tea and quipped: "Today's performance of the city guards is remarkable, a wing was actually chased away by a brigade of others, and in the end even the other party was not defeated, this is also a miracle." ”
"Hmph. Hearing Qian Zhong's joke, Wei Xian snorted coldly and brushed his sleeves away, the facts were in front of him, and he really didn't have the face to defend himself, but at this time he had already hated Fang Ruitao to the bone marrow.
Seeing Wei Xian leave without saying a word, Qian Zhong laughed, this was the easiest time he won the battle with him: "That kid is called Fang Ruitao, he is indeed a talent, I don't know if Brother Gu is willing to cut love, I will definitely pay the price to satisfy you." ”
Gu Qiran smiled slightly and said: "Brother Qian, you don't always have to keep an eye on my family background, you are full of masters in the Foreign Garrison Legion, I just found out that you still want to get rid of such a one, but I plan for him to focus on training." ”
Qian Zhong sneered and said, "Since Brother Gu values him so much, I won't say anything, but this time Wei Xian planted such a big heel, which makes me very happy." If I owe this kid a favor, I'll pay him back another day. ”
Then Qian Zhong turned his head to Candace, who was still drinking tea there and said without saying a word: "Huh, by the way, the opponent of the next game of the four ** teams of the Praetorian Guard is the standard camp army, Brother Candace, you have to pay attention tomorrow." ”
Candace put down the teacup, looked at Qian Zhong with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Tomorrow's game, we abstained." After saying that, he got up and left, without giving the other party the slightest chance to ask questions.
"Abandon ...... Abstaining?" Qian Zhong took a long time to react, he turned his head to Gu Qiran and said, "This Candace is not enough, does this need to abstain?"
Gu Qiran shook his head and smiled: "You didn't see the tragic scene of the city guards today, their team doesn't have to think about recovering its combat effectiveness for nearly half a year, do you think Candace is stupid? Obviously, there is Wu Chengfeng, the guy who won the championship, why should he lose a team of his own to increase my record." ”
"Are you sure to win the championship?" Qian Zhong touched his chin and whispered: "With this little guy Fang Ruitao, Wu Chengfeng is a little dangerous this year." Hey, the way this little guy fights is really good for my spleen. ”
"We did a good job today, we faced a team against each other and we won completely. Everyone has worked hard today, I will pay for everyone to eat in the evening, and everyone should have a good rest tonight, our game tomorrow is the favorite to win the championship. Give me the strength to show me, and we have to keep winning. Fang Ruitao's encouragement and reward caused bursts of cheers from the soldiers.
