Baihu Ping'an gave an order, and the one hundred and three Ming soldiers under his command received the order in a hurry, scattered in all directions, and soon formed eight peculiar phalanxes.

Zhu Quan was bent on stealing the master on Lan Yu, and at this time he also watched intently, only to see that each phalanx was composed of thirteen soldiers, the outermost eight right-hand swords, the left hand-held shield-holding soldiers, the second layer was four soldiers with spears, and in the middle of the innermost phalanx, a soldier was a left shield and a right sword, standing proudly.

Ping An saw eight squares formed, holding an iron spear in both hands, and walked into a phalanx at the very front. As he walked into the phalanx, more than a hundred soldiers shouted at the same time, and the sound shook the four wilds, and the murderous atmosphere was soaring.

Seeing the Ming army in such a formation, Tuhuan couldn't help frowning, although he didn't know what the Han people's arrangement was, but he also felt that the situation was quite bad, walked in front of Guili naked, bowed slightly and said: "Little nephew, please command, the warriors of the three clans." ”

Gui Lichi and Arutai glanced at each other and nodded, although the three clans of them were deceitful, but when the two armies faced each other, they shared good and bad, and they were closely related. Gui Lichi and Arutai knew that although they were young, they were resourceful, so they agreed to be commanded by him.

Tuhuan looked at the more than 100 allied troops of the three clans behind him, pulled out his war knife, made a false move, and shouted: "The warriors of the three clans are led by their respective captains, divided into three directions, and charge up for me." With his order, more than 100 Mongolian knights had fierce eyes blazing, shouting to divide into three tides and attack the Ming army formation separately.

Lan Yu saw that this group of Yuan troops did not rush up in a swarm, but fought in teams, and said in his heart: Zhu Quan said that this kid is ruthless and cunning, and it is really good. Now it seems that even if he doesn't know the formation, he can't be underestimated. Thinking of this, the long sword came out of its sheath, raised his hand, and shouted: "Three teams greet each other, and five teams retreat." With his order, the three small phalanxes led by Ping An stood still to meet the Mongol coalition army, and the soldiers of the remaining five phalanxes retreated a few steps together, and the soldiers in front of them opened up a distance of more than zhang.

In the blink of an eye, the people and horses of the three clans had already rushed to the front of the Ming army, with a shout of anger, white light flashed, the war knife waved, and then the sound of the shield war knife attack like a heavy rain sounded, and the two sides launched an extremely tragic white-knuckle battle.

After seeing the two Ming soldiers in front of him swinging their shields and swords, and blocking the weapons of several Yuan soldiers, he did not hesitate, shouted violently, and the spear protruded, interspersed between the ribs of the two Ming soldiers, and with two screams, two Yuan soldiers who rushed to him were pierced with a shot and took his life. Fighting to draw the gun, the blood on the chest of the Yuan army flew out, splashing him and the two Ming soldiers in front of him with blood, and he stretched out his arm to wipe the blood on his face, turned around and stabbed the Yuan army who was holding up his comrades in the other direction.

As the figure fell to the ground and screamed frequently, Zhu Quan gradually saw the doorway. It turned out that the eight Ming troops in the outermost part of the phalanx were mainly responsible for parrying with swords and shields in their hands, blocking the Yuan army that rushed to the front of them, and played a role as a strong defense like armor. If the spear of the comrade-in-arms behind him succeeded, and the Yuan army was wounded and fell to the ground, he would immediately swing the knife and slash and take his life.

The four Ming soldiers in the formation with spears, like four poisonous snakes, waiting for the opportunity to move, as soon as they saw their comrades holding the opponent's blades, they immediately stabbed with spears, and there were more tricky and slippery veterans.

The Ming army in the middle of the phalanx with swords and shields looked around on all sides, and it was not easy to attack, and the comrades in which direction encountered danger, they immediately waved their swords and shields to help. Or help your teammates block weapons, or swing your sword to kill those fierce enemies who break through the Ming army's outer defenses, and if your peripheral comrades die, immediately fill the position.

As soon as the knights of the three Mongolian tribes grew up on horseback and were accustomed to the art of riding and archery, they suddenly encountered such a clear division of labor and coordinated battle formations, and they were caught off guard, blood splashed, screaming and screaming, and casualties continued. Even if some Yuan troops with shields can withstand the opponent's slashing with their swords, it is extremely difficult to dodge the enemy's serpent-like surprise attack, from the crowd, and even from the feet of the sudden stabbing and stabbing. What's more, several Yuan troops were preparing to raise their swords to block the spears of the Ming army, but they were rushed by the friendly troops behind them one after another, and they met the spears of the Ming army before their eyes, and died extremely unjustly.

Zhu Quan had already experienced two tragic battles and surprise attacks of thousands of men and horses, and his fear was much less than when he first entered the battlefield, so he saw it more clearly, and suddenly changed his mind in his heart: The phalanx tactics used by Lan Yu are in line with a truth that the previous coach told me, that is, if a person is besieged by several people, it is best not to be attacked by the enemy on his back, and it is best to stand with his back to the wall, so that he only needs to meet the enemy in front of him. After forming a phalanx, the Ming army cooperated with each other to kill, as long as the formation was not broken by the opponent, all the Ming army had no worries, and the role played was the same as standing against the wall. No matter how many enemies there are, there are only a limited number of people who can rush in front of them, and seeing that the Ming army is well-trained, two soldiers with swords and shields cooperate with each other, and they can parry three or four enemies with ease. Therefore, with only three small phalanxes, he was able to resist the opponent's seemingly numerous and menacing rush.

Lan Yu sneered and shouted, "Surround and kill." With his order, the other five Ming army formations, which had barely been taken over by the Yuan army, rolled towards the back of the three Yuan troops, intending to cooperate with the enemy to fight the friendly forces of Zhenglie and encircle and annihilate the enemy.

The leaders of the tribes such as Tuhuan, Guilichi, and Arutai all gasped in their hearts when they saw that the Ming army only had about one-third of the three phalanxes, and they resisted the onslaught of more than 100 people of their three clans. Tuohuan roared and ordered the Yuan army to retreat, and under the order, all the Yuan troops scattered and retreated like a hula tide, away from the Ming army formation.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, more than 30 corpses were left in front of the battle, and only three Ming soldiers were killed and fell to the ground, and the rest were knights of the three clans. At this time, more than 100 people on both sides were panting, covered in blood, their eyes were glowing red, and they glared at the enemy viciously.

Zhu Quan saw such a disparity in casualties, and said secretly in his heart: It seems that in the novel before, what ancient battle formation methods I saw were not groundless, in this infantry battle in the era of cold weapons, a formation can indeed play a key role. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Tu Huan, and said in his heart: If this group of Yuan troops is commanded by the heads of other tribes, it will only rush up like a tide, and there will be a burst of indiscriminate slashing and slashing, and under the collision, I am afraid that there will only be more deaths. The split attack of the tribe like this kind of detachment has virtually reduced the casualties of the soldiers.

Lan Yu didn't let Dehuan think about countermeasures calmly, waved Qingfeng in his hand, and shouted: "Catch up with me and kill them all." Under his orders, more than 90 Ming troops, under the leadership of the centurion Ping'an, maintained a formation and pursued the Yuan army.

Seeing that the Ming army kept the formation and pursued, he couldn't help but hate and anger, and said in his heart: If their formation is against our hundred cavalry, they can't stop the impact of the cavalry's arrow rain at all, and they need to maintain the formation, the movement speed is limited, even if they are invincible in foot combat, if I withdraw the army, they are helpless, and the stupid Gui Lichi thinks he is smart, and he wants to let our people dismount and fight, in front of the two armies, in front of everyone's eyes, you can't just run away, only fight to the end, isn't this looking for death? It was only at this time that he understood in his heart why Lan Yu wanted a hundred and four people to compete, shouting in Mongolian and giving orders. A group of Yuan troops slammed, roared viciously, brandished scimitars, and launched an attack on the Ming army.

When the first few Oirath soldiers, their eyes glowing red, rushed to the front of a phalanx of the Ming army, they suddenly threw away the knives and shields in their hands, turned a blind eye to the Ming army's swords and guns, pounced on them, rolled to the ground, and hugged the enemy's thighs.
