795 Valley Strangulation

c_t; The Demon Wolf Commando was Fang Ruitao's key cultivation target, and these people were all taught by Fang Ruitao the cultivation technique of martial cultivation, and each of them also had an auxiliary cultivation nameplate engraved with the Spirit Gathering Array, which accelerated their recovery speed. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info But even with the help of so many good things, it will take at least half an hour for them to recover to the point where they can barely participate in the battle.
The opponent's master was solved, Wu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and now as long as she blocked the continuous offensive of the opponent's cavalry, she would be sure to hold this place.
"Hold the line, and don't retreat a single step. Dimat, who commanded the 1st Heavy Infantry Wing to hold the front, shouted the order, and the four-meter-long dragon spear raised its head high and pointed diagonally at the sky in front of it, and the blood stains on the head of the spear showed what kind of bloody battle they had just experienced.
Just when the two war kings and the demon wolf commandos were competing in combat skills, the battle on the frontal battlefield was equally fierce. The rejection of the horse pile only slightly hindered the pace of the Chagatai cavalry's attack, and was crushed by the formation of the opponent's masters, and the next thing was hand-to-hand combat.
"Slingling attack. Abda in the team gave an order, and the cavalry who rushed to the front pulled out the slings in their arms, shook them a few times overhead, and threw them towards the infantry of the Dragon Soul Legion opposite. There was a crackling sound like hail hitting the tiles, but the attack of the slings did not do any damage to the hoplites with shields. The sling, an overly old weapon, is only suitable for lassosing horses, and is somewhat ineffective on the battlefield.
Before the cavalry could use the slings again, the armies of both sides had already collided. The combined armor engraved with a magic array of the Dragon Soul Legion is powerful, coupled with the dragon spear with a sharp array and the huge square shield engraved with a strong array, which is conducive to stopping the opponent's overwhelming cavalry attack. After two rounds of assault, the Chagatai army, which lost thousands of cavalry, only made the opposing front crooked and irregular.
In the two rounds of attack, there were not many hoplites of the Dragon Soul Legion who really died, and after the hoplites of the second wing came up to support, they firmly held their line, and did not retreat in the face of the cavalry that outnumbered them several times, and defended the battle line desperately.
The steady defense of the hoplites made it much easier for the Modao soldiers behind, and they used their short guns to launch rounds of volleys to bring down the Chagatai cavalry in batches. The archers took advantage of their long range and firmly blocked the rear of the Chagatai cavalry, making their attacks unable to continue. In such an efficient combined combat mode of the Dragon Soul Legion, the Chagatai people who still advocate ancient tactics and rely only on their individual ability and the impact of cavalry clusters have gradually lost their advantage.
Blocked by the hoplites, the galloping Chagatai cavalry could only stop, using the cavalry spear in their hands that was only two meters long to fight with the hoplites, but they lost their impact and mobility, and the cavalry's combat effectiveness also lost most of it.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, two dazzling firecrackers suddenly rose in two directions in the distance. Seeing the fireworks rising into the air, Wu Chengfeng's heart sank. This salute bomb is a pre-agreed signal, the Dragon Soul Legion is insufficient, so Wu Chengfeng concentrated all the troops in front of the Blue Pass, for the two small passes that have not yet begun to be built, she did not set up defensive forces, but only sent some scouts to hide nearby.
The task of these scouts was simple, as soon as they saw a Chagatai cavalry attacking from either direction, they would immediately warn them with firecrackers as soon as they entered the valley mouth.
Seeing the fireworks bomb lifted into the air, Wu Chengfeng immediately knew that the other party had a sneak attack force coming towards their rear. Wu Chengfeng turned his head to the herald on the side and said, "Go and tell the commander of the Third Division, Gou Jinguang, let him bring all the reserves, be sure to stop the opponent's sneak attack in the valley, and never let them interfere with the frontal battlefield." ”
Wu Chengfeng's decision was quite swift, and Gou Jinguang, who had been waiting in the rear, immediately received the order. After receiving the order, Gou Jinguang rushed out with the two wings of the Third Division as a reserve, and together with the two wings that originally formed a formation and stood by here, blocked the two small valley entrances that entered the Languan Valley Road.
In charge of the sneak attack was the 10,000-strong imperial guard army of the Chagatai army from the imperial capital, and they divided into two groups, attacked from the two valleys at the same time, and attacked towards the Languan Valley Road. Seeing the fireworks in the air, they immediately understood that their hiding was exposed, and that they could no longer hide, and these Chagatai cavalry immediately urged their horses to rush towards their target as fast as they could.
"The enemy is coming, everyone is ready. Gou Jinguang shouted, and all the hoplites lined up in three rows, blocking the valley mouth that was not wide. The tower shield stood in front of him, forming a steel wall, and the four-meter-long dragon spear pointed diagonally into the sky, and the sharp tail of the spear had already pierced into the earth. The hoplites leaned forward, holding their shields with their shoulders, waiting for the onslaught.
As a direct unit of the Chagatai royal family, the Imperial Guard was naturally better equipped than other troops, and these cavalry were not only more sophisticated in weapons, but also had simple armor on their horses. It's just that they don't have Fang Ruitao's magic alchemy and can't reduce the weight of the armor, so in order to reduce the burden on the Dawan horse and not affect its flexibility, there are only three pieces of armor on the horse symbolically to protect the most important place.
"Archers shoot. At Gou Jinguang's order, the archers who had been secretly ambushing the hillside showed their figures, and they opened their bows and arrows and shot deadly feathered arrows at the Chagatai cavalry that was galloping below. Feathered arrows cannot penetrate steel armor, that's what is said about maximum range attacks.
The closer the target of the shot, the greater the power of the feather arrows, at this time they were only a dozen meters away from the cavalry below, and the feather arrows still maintained great penetration, not to mention that the thickest armor was the front, and the part above the defense was not so strong. The feathered arrows attacked precisely the upper and flanks that the cavalry could not defend against, and under the fire of the archers, the cavalry of the Imperial Guard suffered heavy losses before they could see their opponents.
The valley was so small that the dead cavalry blocked the passage behind them, causing these well-armed cavalry to panic for a while, and they had to draw their shields and spread their battle spirit all over them, struggling to defend against the attack of feathered arrows. Seeing that the opponent burst out with battle qi, the archers also attached their battle qi to the feather arrows, launching round after round of attacks, and the battlefield that should have been offensive and defensive suddenly turned into a one-sided slaughter.
