Volume 3 The world is turbulent, and the undercurrent does not stop Chapter 568 The importance of the flag bearer
Jiang Ning wants to go over, he can only attack, Liu Zhenyu also understands this very well, from the very beginning, he waits for work, takes defense as offense, and fights defensive counterattacks.
All the arrows fell behind Huo Wenxing, Lin Chong and Hu Zhengwen glanced at each other, patted their horses and headed towards the left and right, and with this movement, the two companies behind them also rushed with it.
They did not rush directly, for they knew that what awaited them was the spear that had been inserted between the gaps in their shields, and that they were not superior in numbers and could not afford casualties.
In the past, for this kind of defensive formation, there was no other way than to use crowd tactics to break down the defense.
But Huo Wenxing smiled slightly, took out a soil mine from the bag on the horse's back, took off the spark seed from his waist, and ignited the earth mine in the wind.
Just when he was about to rush to about five feet in front of the battle, he suddenly turned his horse's head and threw out the earth mine in his hand.
And the five people behind him also did the same, and Tulei rolled under the shield, collided with it, and made an incomprehensible sound, but the more than 400 people behind him looked at the distance of a hundred zhang to run.
"Boom ......"
Six loud bangs directly overturned the dirt and shields, and after the black smoke, dozens of people fell backwards, and this seemingly indestructible shield formation was directly exploded four or five holes at this moment.
The moment the formation exploded, Huo Wenxing turned his horse's head and rushed towards this side.
"Block the ......" Liu Zhenyu shouted, and the shield soldier behind him was about to plug the gap with his shield.
said that it was too late, but I saw Huo Wenxing take the lead, the long knife in his hand slashed along the shield, bursting out with a sharp sound that made the eardrums tear, and the horse's hooves stepped directly on the shield, and this last gap was really broken by him.
This was followed by the charge of an entire regiment behind him.
Screams filled the entire formation, the two armies fought, Huo Wenxing had already taken the lead, but Liu Zhenyu ordered the team to retreat quickly, avoiding Huo Wenxing's charging formation at a very fast speed.
The two thousand men and horses quickly closed the circle and counter-surrounded the group of Huo Wenxing who rushed into the formation.
"Formation ......" Huo Wenxing stood on his horse, and he was also a little surprised by Liu Zhenyu's reaction.
Generally speaking, after the formation is broken away, as long as they rush in, they can basically be defeated by one enemy and three, plus their weapons have the advantage, and they will soon be able to muddy the water inside.
But now Liu Zhenyu directly came to a counter-encirclement, surrounded them in the middle, and tried to eat them up, such a reaction and change of formation is enough to show that the enemy in front of him is not an ordinary person.
The mandarin duck array was formed, and Liu Zhenyu commanded the team to continuously impact Huo Wenxing.
But the continuous bows and crossbows quickly repelled the charging people, and the spears in the more than thirty formations would not let them fight hand-to-hand at all.
From time to time, the sound of assault guns was heard, and bursts of black smoke came out.
Lin Chong and Hu Zhengwen saw the flag and attacked Liu Zhenyu's encirclement as quickly as possible.
Even if there was a shield array on the periphery, the earth mines on the two of them were not ornaments, but in a moment, the shield array exploded and rushed in.
On the basis of maintaining the basic formation, the crossbow exerted its outrageous power, and the uninterrupted output of two repeaters in a formation made Liu Zhenyu's team suffer heavy losses, and before they could get close, they lost thirty percent of their troops.
Jiang Ning said: "Let Huo Wenxing break through from the southwest side, form a counter-encirclement, and force them to the northeast." ”
The standard-bearer behind him stood on top of the carriage, waving the flag, and the standard-bearer standing on the hillside on both sides saw this and used the flag language to convey Jiang Ning's words to the three regiments.
After seeing the flag, the personal herald told the three regimental commanders the order.
The three of them were fighting with Liu Zhenyu's army, and they didn't know much about the combat situation of other people, so they could only roughly guess based on the direction of the battle at the scene.
"Brothers, rush over and join the second regiment......" Huo Wenxing shouted, directing the formation to move quickly towards the southwest.
And Hu Zhengwen's second regiment, after receiving the order, desperately pressed forward, even if it paid some price, but the extremely fast filling of the position did not cause much delay in their action.
The five hundred men and horses sandwiched between the first regiment and the second regiment directly became the focus of the bow and crossbow.
A quarter of an hour later, Liu Zhenyu realized that the situation was not good, the southwest team had all been eaten, and his team was retreating in the northeast direction, because the enemy force in the northeast direction was the weakest.
2,000 men, why is it fighting like this now?
Liu Zhenyu was about to give the order to hold on and face the enemy head-on, but the burst of muskets in the southwest made the rows of people fall quickly.
"General, something is wrong, they are surrounded by ......"
Liu Zhenyu looked around, Jiangning's team of 1,000 people actually began to quickly crush this side in the southwest direction, this speed was almost devastating.
Their unique formation caused his team to suffer heavy losses when they could not engage them at all, and even if they were able to get close, they still had the defense of the vine armor soldiers and the sneak attack of the assault rifles.
"Each of them has short knives, general, we have already lost more than half of our losses......"
Liu Zhenyu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard the report of the person who retreated from the southwest.
"How could it be ......?"
"General, withdraw, if we don't withdraw, we won't be able to leave......"
Before the words fell, he saw a white-robed young general kill out of the crowd, and between the swing of the glaive knife in his hand, blood shot out, and in the blink of an eye, three or four people were cut to the ground, and when he saw Liu Zhenyu, he shouted: "Liu Zhenyu is leaving, take your life and ......."
This glaive knife is Pang Qingyun, who has obtained the second thousand fathom knife spectrum, when he first arrived at this Qilian Mountain, even he had a lot of reaction, after these ten days, he has slowly become accustomed to it, and the kung fu on his body is also more sophisticated, all the way with a mass of slashing and killing, inspired by this bloody spirit, the more the glaive knife in his hand is used, the smoother it is, and the killing will come out, and he is less than a hundred zhang away from Liu Zhenyu.
Seeing this, Liu Zhenyu knew that the people who withdrew were not weak in battle, but that the other party was too strong, so strong that they could form a counter-encirclement in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, he looked at the hillside in the distance, but saw that more than ten people were still riding on horses, waving flags, and then he suddenly realized that it was not a deserter, but a scout.
According to common sense, as long as he forms a counter-encirclement, the outer shield soldiers resist, quickly shrinks the formation, eats the people inside, and then attacks, and then strikes, this battle will be won.
But now that his plan has been broken, the problem lies with this scout.
"Removal ......"
Seeing that there was no hope of victory at the moment, Liu Zhenyu had no choice but to lead people to withdraw in the northeast direction.
