The steppe cavalry came later than expected, and after approaching the cadet camp, the daily journey was only sixty miles, and the enemy commander kept enough horsepower, but the distant division was not tired, and alternately covered the tents five miles away, and the three large battalions were far away from the cadet soldiers.

In the big tent of the enemy camp, dozens of commanders ignored the mutton and wine, and looked at the main seat, the commander of ten thousand soldiers, Baji, was in his early forties, a scar like a poisonous snake entrenched on his bald head, an iron helmet with three feathers was placed on the table, black chain mail captured the self-taught soldiers, and the well-developed muscles on his chest made the nail leaves stand up, and he was holding a horn cup and drinking bitterly.

"It's been three days late, Lord Buggy, when are we going to attack? The warriors are in a hurry to snatch the beauties and beauties, and if they don't do anything, the rats of the steppe will laugh at the cowardice. The first commander in his thirties on the right asked with squinted eyes, unruly and unruly written on his face, and Baji glanced at him and put down his wine glass, but went to ask the first man on the left for his opinion: "Za Langtai, are you like the brave sticky Mu'er, do you want to laugh at and scold me for my cowardice?"

"Brother Mumur, please don't rant rudely at Lord Baji, he is one of the five invincible captains on the grassland, you and I just do what you are told, the elders of the tribes have bright eyes, and they can tell who is the real warrior. ”

Za Lang Tai seemed to be persuading, his words were not without irony, the scar on Baji's bald head trembled, he raised his eyebrows and pretended not to hear, there were only 5,000 warriors of the same clan among the 30,000 people, and the rest of the troops were made up of a mixture of large and small tribes, and Mu Mu'er and Za Lang Tai were all sons of their own tribes, and this battle still needed to be relied on.

"The hunters on the grassland, open your eyes and take a closer look, how many soldiers are there on the other side? Nearly 20,000 people! They are neatly dressed and armoured, and they are waiting for the reckless men to attack, and when 30,000 people attack the camp, the blood of the grassland warriors will merge into a small river. ”

"Lord Baji, it's just a group of student soldiers who haven't grown up yet, and they don't even have a decent general, and you're insulting the steppe warriors. Sticky Mur slapped his palm on the low table, and Badge laughed instead of anger: "Is it? Since you think it's an insult, brave commander, sit down and enjoy the wine and meat, they are coming, use your sword, not arrogant shouting, to let everyone judge whether they are brave or reckless." ”

"Report, provoke in front of the school barracks!"

As if to verify the accuracy of Baji's guess, the scout ran into the account to report, Mu'er's face was ugly, and he stood up and shouted angrily: "Tell me clearly, how many people are there?"

"My lord, the two infantry hundred-man teams are all dispatched from the Chinese army. ”

Mu Mu'er laughed: "Elite challenge, want to shake the military heart of the steppe warriors, hahaha, I'll cut off their heads, invincible captain, my knife is sharper than words." ”

"Mu'er, the good ones don't come, wait for me to watch the battle before fighting. ”

"Two hundred-man teams, one charge is enough to solve, no trouble. As if there was no one around, he strode out of the tent.

"Sticky Mu'er has courage and no strategy, this battle will definitely be lost, Zalangtai, take your people to answer, the enemy will catch up when he returns to the camp after victory, and the elders will never be stingy with rewards. ”

The provocative cadets put on a flat rectangular formation, a six-foot-high tiger head shield weighing 100 catties, with heavy iron guns, two heavy infantry supporting the shield, one heavy infantry pressing the gun, three people without looking side, one person on each side holding five zhang iron guns, ten heavy shields at five paces apart, behind the shield a sentry light infantry in front of the two and three standing in two rows, each with five seven-foot javelins next to each person. Although there are only three heavy shields on the left and right sides, they are arranged in two layers, and in the back row are female soldiers holding shields in one hand and knives in the other.

Among the remaining twenty heavy infantry in the center of the formation, the patrol commander Lei Ming lifted the iron mask and smiled: "Hehe, Hua Yue, I really don't know the bottom in my heart, the enemy wants to come with a thousand-person team, you have to trample the brothers into pulp, you are too bold this time." ”

"There are so many beautiful women to accompany the funeral, you will snicker when you die, I tell you, I can't bear two wheels, I will let you lie down when you go back, and it is difficult to say whether you can get up in the future. ”

Hua Yue was dressed in a black military uniform, not even wearing light armor, with a spear stuck in the ground, holding a hard bow and carrying an arrow bag, Yan Ning was also dressed, but there was an extra jade flute in his hand, and he smiled coquettishly: "Inspector Lei, you underestimate the grassland warriors too much, if you really want to show off the thousand-person team, we will turn around and run, and the enemy commander will not want to raise his head in the future." ”

"I'm relieved, it doesn't matter if there are three or five hundred people, you can't break through the defense. ”

The enemy camp rushed out of the cavalry, and Hua Yue looked at it carefully: "You are really a crow's mouth, five hundreds, enough for you, giggles." ”

Sticky Mu'er was arrogant but by no means stupid, the two patrol soldiers dared to provoke, naturally felt that they were sure enough, so they pointed out the five most elite hundred-man teams, and after leaving the camp and lined up, they ordered to blow the horn, and the five teams launched an attack one after another, with three hundred-man teams on the front and one on each side, wanting to eat the enemy in one fell swoop, and were not interested in fighting one team at a time.

More than 300 steps away from the front of the formation, the trumpet became sharp, the front team shot a round of sharp arrows to charge, but the second team did not follow closely, controlled the speed of the war horse, opened the bow and shot the arrow obliquely in front, after two rounds, the rear team also showed the longbow, and the two teams used the rain of arrows to cover the front team to charge the battle.

The hundred-man team on the left and right sides had no intention of attacking at all, and bent their bows and fired straight at the centurion's order, and one by one the long arrows left the bowstring and drilled through the gap between the heavy shields, interfering to prevent the rescue of the cadets before and after, and the infantry team had no choice but to flank the cavalry.

"Round Shield!"

The thunder roared loudly, the heavy infantry grabbed the round shield and held it above their heads, the rain of arrows fell on it and clanged, the triangular shield of the light infantry was simpler, the steppe cavalry was the killer weapon for dealing with the enemy cavalry, the infantry could not hurt the students in the slightest when defending in formation, and occasionally there were stray arrows falling from the side of the shield curtain, and the arrows were just a few sparks on the iron armor.

Dealing with the infantry with full body iron armor, the enemy does not have much hope of killing the rain of arrows, that is, to force you to defend, so as to win precious time for the cavalry charge, the spear and shield battle, the attacking side undoubtedly occupies the initiative, and the cavalry and infantry clash with each other, which itself has an advantage.

Frontal arrow rain cover, direct attack on both sides, compressing the room for light infantry activities, throwing guns need to run to be powerful, holding an iron shield is difficult to play, Meng Yichuan saw that the cavalry in front of the army was getting closer and closer to the student formation, and was about to order to abandon the shield to attack, even if it cost to relieve the pressure of the heavy infantry.

"When the two sides collide, the bow and arrow will stop, you just need to cooperate. ”

Behind Hua Yue, Yan Ning jade flute waved lightly, and the long arrow that fell on the top of the two people's heads was like hitting an invisible shield curtain, and fell next to his feet in the crisp collision sound, making the light infantry behind him shocked, although the stray arrows did not have much impact, but there were many of them, and a jade flute protected the two of them, how fast did they need to swing to do it.

"Heavy Shield!"

In the midst of the thunder and shouting, he ran a few steps to the middle behind the heavy shield, the spear was supported diagonally under the shield, half-bent to accumulate strength, and the heavy infantry threw down the round shield, ignoring the dense rain of arrows, and tightly held the iron spear behind the heavy shield.

The front team of the steppe cavalry, the spear pointed down diagonally, broke the shield, did not need fancy movements, all relied on the speed and strength of the war horse, the moment the galloping horse hit the shield wall, the impact force was enough to overturn the bison to the ground, and this kind of impact was more than once.

The heavy infantry resisted the cavalry impact, relying on a thick formation, the front team fell and the rear team followed, and the cavalry speed was reduced in exchange for sacrifice, and finally the charge was resolved, and the two infantry teams wanted to fight against more cavalry, which was tantamount to asking for a dead end, and the centurion smiled at the corner of his mouth, and was about to see the scene of the shield overturning.

The spear was pierced on the heavy shield, the war horse followed and collided with it, in the dull sound, there were cavalry who could not resist the force of the heavy shield and flew out from the back of the war horse, the heavy shield made the war horse crooked, the two heavy infantry of the shield forcibly swallowed the blood that gushed to the throat, and struggled to correct the angle, the other person's face turned red, and he clung to the iron gun with both hands, and the three people were injured in a collision with different degrees of severity, Lei Ming gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and someone in the reserve team immediately replaced the seriously injured shield soldiers, and the light infantry carried their comrades to the center of the formation, and some students hurriedly checked the dressing.

Next to the heavy shield, two spearmen stabbed forward obliquely like a poisonous snake before the collision, some pierced into the neck of the horse, some pierced the belly of the horse, some pierced the chest of the rider, drew the spear, assassinated, two simple actions back and forth, from time to time someone stabbed out the spear and fell to the ground, and the enemy on horseback died together.

After several rounds of cavalry ramming, only one heavy shield overturned, and the striking cavalry rushed in through the gap, allowing Lei Ming to stab his own soldiers to death with spears, and used the guns to cover the heavy infantry to lift the heavy shield, and the shield wall was back intact, and the five heavy infantry stopped breathing.

When the cavalry is blocked, the javelins of the light infantry cross interception, and the cavalry falls down one by one, and the war horse also stabs the spear to death, and the corpse of the man and horse flattened the triphorse rope, reducing the resistance to the later people with flesh and blood, but it has also become an obstacle to the road.

The formation of the scholars stood still, the cavalry hundred-man team failed to break the shield wall of the heavy infantry, and the remaining dozen or so cavalry wanted to flee from both sides when they hit the horse, the bowstring sounded in the student formation, Hua Yue and Yan Ning fired a salvo with two bows, no one could escape from the arrows, and even the war horse let Meng Yichuan lead the people to shoot over with javelins, a cavalry hundred-man team, no one and the horse survived.

"Press it up and attack on three sides at the same time. ”

The tenacity of the Xuebing array made Mu Mu'er angry, and ordered three hundred-man teams to attack, he led the team around the back of the Xuebing formation, and it was clear from the impact just now that the Xuebing rear team had no heavy shield protection, and the defense was the weakest, which should be for the convenience of escaping.

"Lei Ming, it's good, how about holding on for another round?" Hua Yue grabbed his hand to check, Lei Ming was a little weak, and he was not injured much.

"It's a small matter, the steppe cavalry is not as hard as Gao Yuan's fists. Lei Ming replied without grinning, making Hua Yue laugh: "Don't worry, sooner or later, you will beat him up and get angry." ”

"Forget it, when did I really blame me for speaking badly, and I hurt a lot when I beat him out of anger. ”

Thunder's generosity surprised Yan Ning, Hua Yue had already expected it, and immediately raised his longbow and smiled: "If you don't fight, I'll help you get angry." Giggles, it's enough to be proud of holding a round of hard attacks, and you have to put your life into it if you brag about it. You stabilize the position, and the next round is taken by Meng Yichuan's light infantry. ”

As he spoke, the grassland cavalry rushed up from three sides with the sound of horns, and Hua Yue and Yan Ning walked to the two wings with their longbows, leaving the front for Lei Ming and Meng Yichuan to defend.
