Chapter 144: The Great War Begins
Although it was a drill, the weapons in everyone's hands were replaced with long and short wooden sticks. But the atmosphere at the scene was like a life-and-death battle, and being affected by such an atmosphere, Gui Ming couldn't help but be stunned in his heart.
Looking at the phalanx of heavy cavalry pressing on the opposite side, his palms holding the reins were full of sweat.
"Rush!"
With a command, the phalanx of high heavy cavalry took a big step and began to sprint, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, and the roaring hooves of horses seemed to be about to crush a piece of land.
Behind the phalanx of heavy cavalry, there were light cavalry and crossbow cavalry led by Gao Hun himself.
"Shoot!"
A dark cloud rose from the high array. Suddenly, arrows rained down and smashed into Guiming's side from mid-air. Although the arrows have been replaced with wood, with the extremely high rate of fire and strong force, it is still no problem to hit you with a blue nose and swollen face.
"Shield!"
The long-card soldiers formed a solid shield wall in the front row, motionless as a mountain, and the arrows smashed into the shield and landed one after another.
Spearmen and sword and shield bearers were hidden behind their shields, ready to attack at any time, and this set of formations was also the main infantry formation of the Southern Han army when facing the iron cavalry of Beining.
Because the Bac Ninh army is good at horse archery, and the production and quality of horses of the Southern Han army cannot match that of Bac Ninh. Forced by the situation of war for many years, the Southern Han army gradually explored its own set of infantry tactics, and repeatedly reaped miraculous results in the war.
This is also thanks to Yu Chong, who accompanied Guiming to carefully study the examples of wars between Hanning and Ningning for decades. It was found that on the plains, the Southern Han army basically lost more than won less, but as soon as it arrived in the hilly area, the cavalry impact weakened, and the advantages of the Southern Han army's infantry battle formation gradually appeared.
The topography of the camp in the west hill happens to belong to the hilly terrain.
One hundred steps...... Fifty steps...... The two armies gradually approached.
Gui Ming was thinking in his heart at this moment, the slaughter on the battlefield was probably nothing more than that, he held his helmet and looked firmly at the galloping enemy army with his eyes.
"Kill!"
The two armies rushed together, and the impact of the heavy cavalry was really extremely powerful, if it weren't for the fact that several soldiers were withstanding each long card together, Guiming's shield array would be easily crushed.
I saw that the heavy cavalry bumped into the solid long card array, as if hitting a wall, and suddenly people turned on their backs. The shouts of the people and the neighing of the horses mingled with the sound of a real battlefield.
But when the heavy cavalry phalanx advances, it will never stop, and even if those in front fall, those behind will immediately make up for it.
I saw Gao Hun heavy cavalry raise their horses' hooves and step on the long cards and jump into the Guiming infantry formation. Not to be outdone, the pikemen used their clubs to push down the riders on their horses, and the sword and shield men swarmed up and beat the riders.
Even if you are brothers in the same comrade on weekdays, you don't recognize your relatives on the drill ground, unless you raise your hand to surrender, otherwise it is normal to beat you to bed and lie on the bed for a few days.
All of a sudden, the sky was dark when the two armies were killed, and the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth.
Ji Lie was also dumbfounded when he looked at the high slope, and even thought that he was in a real battlefield.
Finally, Gao Hun's heavy cavalry relied on the advantage of equipment to tear a few holes in the shield array, and the light cavalry and crossbow riders behind quickly rushed into Guiming's formation along the gap that had been opened, wanting to open a way and rush straight to the high ground of the Dragon Banner.
If left unchecked, it won't be long before the high hussars break through the defensive line. But how could Gui Ming let him succeed easily.
"Wai!"
The light cavalry rushing out behind him quickly closed up from both flanks, plugged the gap, and re-encircled Gao Hun in the middle of the line.
Suddenly the battlefield turned into a cavalry melee. While rushing out of the encirclement and snatching the dragon flag. On the other side, they did not give up an inch of land and firmly held the front.
Guiming has a sword on the left and a sword on the right...... No, it's a stick on the left and a stick on the right, knocking down several people in a row. Looking around, I saw Gao Hun struggling to rush out not far ahead.
This is exactly the capture of the thief and the king first, Gui Ming's luck is full of true qi, and his feet are clamped between the horse's belly. With a neigh, the horse under the crotch jumped several feet and rushed directly in front of Gao Hun.
Gao Hun was taken aback, and he raised his stick to rush to Guiming. The commanders of the two armies fought together, and the morale of both sides was immediately boosted, and the battle became more and more intense.
At this time, a light cavalry team of dozens of people quickly killed from the back of the Guiming army formation, and the golden armor on their bodies shone in the sunlight. A team of people and horses went straight to the location of the dragon flag at a fast speed, and it was Yu Zhong who took the lead.
Gao Hun saw that something was wrong in his heart, so he immediately threw it down and returned to Ming, and no longer fell in love with war.
"Soldiers, rush out with me. ”
He immediately concentrated his forces and rushed to one side. After all, the cavalry under his command had a numerical advantage, and they rushed out of the encirclement and followed the rest of the men and horses.
If you let a large number of cavalry get entangled, it will be difficult to get out even if you have a lot of weight. Seeing this, Gui Ming immediately led a team of cavalry, broke out of the battle formation, and followed to bite Gao Hun to death.
At this time, the battlefield turned from a melee to a chase. The three teams of people chase after me and don't let each other go.
Yu Zhong and the others were running all the way in front, and suddenly many crossbow arrows were shot behind them, and it turned out that the crossbow cavalry under Gao Hun chased after them. The wooden arrow crackled on the body, and it was also very painful, and several dragon guards were shot off their horses without paying attention, and fell on their backs.
"If you want to capture the flag, don't ask me. Gao Hun scolded angrily, and led the cavalry to surround Yu Zhong and the others. His men were so numerous that he couldn't rush out for a while.
At this moment, a row of crossbow arrows suddenly shot out of the roadside forest, and the high-pitched people were shot off their horses one after another, embarrassed. Another shout of killing was heard, and a group of cavalry came out of the forest, and Gui Ming and his men also came from the rear, and rushed into the encirclement together, dividing Gao Hun into two men.
It turned out that Gui Ming had arranged an ambush soldier early in the morning, and quietly sneaked into the forest, in order to prevent Yu Zhong from encountering obstacles in the process of capturing the flag.
At this time, although Gao Hun's number was still superior, he was caught off guard by the ambush soldiers, the formation was chaotic, and his morale was also affected.
This is the best time to defeat the enemy. Gui Ming and Yu Zhong glanced at each other and understood.
"Boss Yu, go on. Gui Ming threw out an iron chain, and Yu Zhong took one end.
The two straightened their chains and spurred their horses to rush towards the enemy. Under the huge impact, the high-pitched people fell off their horses one after another, falling and rolling on the ground.
"Good boy, look at the moves. Suddenly I heard a loud shout. It turned out that Gao Hun led Long Xiangwei's people to kill him.
Before Gui Ming could make a move, Yu Zhong had already kicked Gao Hun off the horse.
"Boss Yu, you're too faceless, so you can let people finish talking. Gui Ming quipped.
Seeing that the two of them were surrounded by more than a dozen people from Long Xiangwei, and they were still in the mood to laugh here, Gao Hun was even more annoyed and angry. At the sound of an order, everyone shouted and rushed up.
These people in Long Xiangwei are also strong in martial arts. However, Yu Zhong and Guiming joined forces, even if a hundred people came.
I saw that the two of them actually took off their heavy armor and threw them aside, as if they didn't care about these opponents.
"Whew, it's so much easier. Yu Zhong said as he moved his muscles.
"Haha, come on, then. Gui Ming stretched out his hand and made a gesture for them to get on.
Seeing that he was so humiliated, Gao Hun was about to be blown up, and a group of people rushed up with grinning teeth.
Yu Zhong used his body to show his strength, and a group of people couldn't even see his shadow, let alone catch him. In an instant, he knocked down seven or eight of them.
Gui Ming is more like a loach, slippery and slippery, drilling around in the crowd, playing a few strong martial arts Long Xiangwei around.
After a while, a group of masters of Long Xiangwei were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, begging grandpa to sue grandma.
Although Gao Hun can still fight, he can't beat Yu Zhong and Guiming together, and he is also embarrassed to be beaten.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed, and Yu Zhong and Gui Ming hurriedly flashed back, only to see a person appear in front of them.
He was masked, and he was wearing Long Xiangwei's clothes. In his hand, he held a cold and cold goose knife.
"Bastard, it turned out to be a real knife. Gui Ming looked down at his torn clothes and took a sip.
Yu Zhong stared closely at the mysterious person who suddenly appeared, just looking at the knife he had just shot, he knew that he was not an ordinary master.
"Ming Shao, it seems that the person who came is not good, be careful. Yu Zhong whispered.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Long Xiaowei to bring weapons privately, it's really shameless. Gui Ming said indignantly.
Gao Hun patted the soil, stood up, and did not answer, as if he was in awe of this mysterious man from his expression.
"Friend, is it just a drill, as for putting people to death with real knives and guns?" Yu Zhong asked.
"We Long Xiangwei won't admit defeat easily. The mysterious man's voice was strange, obviously deliberately changed.
Seeing that the people were so arrogant, Yu Zhong knew that it would be useless to say more, and a bloody battle was inevitable. It's just that Yan Junjian is not by his side at this moment, and he suffers a little bit against him.
The shouting and killing sounds around were still shocking, and Yu Zhong and Gui Ming couldn't care about anything else at the moment, concentrating and staring at this mysterious person who suddenly appeared.
Suddenly, the mysterious body law skyrocketed, and the Yanling knife in his right hand pierced through Changhong, and directly attacked. He actually wanted to fight one against two, which was too contemptuous of Yu Zhong and Guiming.
But when his sword qi rushed straight over, Yu Zhong knew that this mysterious man really had such strength. If Yan Jun's sword was at hand, he would be confident that he would be able to fight with him. Now with his bare hands, he can only dodge the enemy's edge while looking for an opportunity to shoot.
The two of them used their skills and constantly wrestled with the mysterious person. Yu Zhong could faintly feel that the figure of this mysterious person was somewhat familiar. But there was no time for him to think about it right now, he had to find a way to drag this mysterious person and let Gui Ming snatch the Dragon Banner.
"Ming Shao, you are not his opponent, leave it to me here, you go and capture the flag. Yu Zhong said.
