Text Chapter 145 Cone Formation Breaks the Enemy
Seeing Hu Qi coming back, Liao Jianhui knew that the critical moment had come. The oncoming Hu cavalry is no less than a thousand cavalry, and there are not many battles between Da Zheng and the thousand cavalry of the Northern Desert, if he can defeat the coalition army of the Ashi Department and the Hun Branch, it can be described as a great achievement, maybe it is not impossible for the Son of Heaven to reward the Marquis of Wanhu with a happy reward.
In the confrontation between Hu Qi and Zheng Qi, Zheng Jun almost never won the same number of battles. At this moment, the light cavalry around Liao Jianhui is close to 2,000, while the number of Hu cavalry is more than 1,000, and the advantage is not great.
However, Liao Jianhui's five years from Zuo Wuwei to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate did not waste time, and the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate held special training for the Northern Desert cavalry every year to make up for the lack of horsemanship with a formation, and the light cavalry brought by Liao Jianhui all went through this set of special training.
The spear was raised high in place of the military order, and the herald shouted: "Change formation." ”
With Liao Jianhui as the cone, the two thousand light horsemen quickly turned into a sharp cone tip and stabbed fiercely towards the scattered Hu cavalry.
The spear in his hand swept, and the Hu cavalry on the opposite side let out a muffled snort, and was swept off the horse by Liao Jianhui's spear. Immediately after that, countless horses stepped over him, trampling it into a pulp.
Liao Jianhui's eyes looked straight ahead, his spear pointed, and he rode or avoided or let go, unstoppable. The light horse behind him followed closely behind, like tearing cloth, splitting the Hu horse more and more, tearing it into two pieces.
Ah Shi Zhimo found that something was wrong, his troops were engaged in the enemy, and there were always two or three spears pointed at him, injuring one enemy, and Zheng Jun soon emerged from the formation, and the entire conical shape was not broken.
The outer layer of the cone-shaped team was constantly changing, and the tired Zheng army retreated into the formation, and the new Zheng army took over, maintaining the strongest combat power of the outer layer of the awl.
The most hateful thing is that Zheng Jun inside the awl bends his bow and shoots arrows, constantly shooting at the approaching people. And Hu Qi ran forward, occasionally firing back one or two arrows, unable to form an offensive, and was blocked by Zheng's shield.
The battle damage has been greatly higher than expected, if this continues, one charge down, I am afraid that two or three hundred people will die, and within three times, the Ashi tribe will no longer exist.
Ah Shi Zhimo was desperate and yelled, "Follow me." "With hundreds of horsemen rushing sideways towards the cone, as long as they can break through the cone, Zheng Jun's advantage no longer exists.
Hu Qi smashed Zheng Jun like a heavy hammer, and the outside of the cone was smashed into a piece.
Liao Jianhui had already retreated into the cone at this time, and followed the team to take a temporary rest, when he heard the chaos on the left rear side, and turned around to see Hu Qi impacting the waist of the cone.
"Command, contraction, strong bow side shot." Liao Jianhui himself also bent his bow in his hand, and shot arrows towards Ah Shi Zhimo.
The rain of arrows flew, and Ah Shi Zhimo had to retreat from his horse to dodge, and the momentum of the attack was stifled by the Zheng army, and at this moment the Zheng army had already separated Hu Qi in an offensive position.
"Split into two, rush left and right."
With Liao Jianhui's order, Zheng Jun split into two, protruding from his waist and turning into two awls on the left and right, and rushed towards the scattered Hu cavalry again.
Liao Jianhui rode his horse in a hurry, quickly moving the tip of the cone on the left, and Ah Shi Zhimo led his troops to fight and retreat, looking for fighters.
The speed of the Hu cavalry was fast, flexible and changeable, and the cone formation pursued the retreating Hu cavalry with little effect, but the strong bow repeatedly exerted power, and many Hu cavalry fell off their horses with arrows.
Liao Jianhui was secretly anxious, Zheng Jun's horses were originally inferior to Hu Qi, and after a long time, the endurance and speed could not keep up, and it was difficult to defeat the enemy and protect himself. His eyes fell on Ah Shi Zhimo, who was not far ahead, and it could be seen from his clothes that this person should be the leader of Ah Shibu, and only by entangling this person, Hu Qi would not be like a rabbit.
The spear twitched lightly on Yinfeng's buttocks, and the BMW knew its master's intentions, and kicked its four hooves away, like an arrow in the wind, getting closer and closer to Ashzhimo.
The horse ridden by Ah Shi Zhimo is also one in a million, but it is better than the long force, and the short-term charge is not as good as Liao Jianhui's silver wind.
Liao Jianhui chased after Ah Shi Zhimo, and the spear in his hand stabbed him unceremoniously in the back. Ashzhima dodged sideways, and the horse ran diagonally to the left.
Finally caught up, of course Liao Jianhui would not let go of Ah Shi Zhi Mo, and the spear was raised again, stabbing Ah Shi Zhi Mo's buttocks. Ashzhima had no choice but to turn around and slash at the spear with the scimitar in his hand.
The swords and spears collided with each other with a piercing sound, and Liao Jianhui took this opportunity to catch up, almost grinding with Ashi Zhi.
Liao Jianhui's spear pierced towards Ashi Zhi like a wind, the spear body was longer, the scimitar was shorter, and the two horses were more than three feet apart.
Ashzhimo broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted: "Mergi, Moji." ”
Mergie was not far ahead, when he heard his uncle calling for him, and turned his horse's head to come back to save people. It's just that Merge was hit by an arrow in the shoulder just now, and his shoulder hurt when he exerted his strength, and his strength was reduced. After a few hard knocks with Liao Jianhui, the scimitar in his hand was almost picked off by the spear, and Merge had to turn his horse and flee to the other side.
Mergi was the first warrior of the Ashi Division, and his defeat and escape seriously affected his morale, and Hu Qi turned from a feint to a real escape. Seeing that his troops were scattered into a mess of sand, Ashzhima knew that he could not do anything, so he had to hurry up and flee north.
Hu Cai was defeated, Liao Jianhui was overjoyed, there are only a handful of such victories in the battle between Dazheng and the Northern Desert, which means eight words: promotion and wealth, fame and fortune.
Liao Jianhui suddenly felt like he was knocked down by happiness. After stabilizing his mood, Liao Jianhui slowed down his horse speed and ordered: "Turn back after ten miles of pursuit." ”
It is more than ten miles away from Huangsha Pass, and then the pursuit of ten miles is almost to the limit of horsepower, Hu cavalry is fast, most of them do not get much, but there are more than 2,000 servant troops, and this merit is enough to make the entire light cavalry promoted to a level. The Zheng army chased Hu Cai, and the fleeing servant army knelt on the ground and surrendered, and the heads of those who dared to raise their swords to resist fell to the ground and their ears were cut off.
It should be said that Liao Jianhui's decision is very correct, but the plan always can't catch up with the changes. Twenty miles away from Huangsha Pass, Batu Kunbo led three thousand black wolf horsemen to wait for news ahead.
The tribes of the Northern Desert take Batu Wushi as the Khan, collectively referred to as the Northern Desert. The Northern Desert is composed of dozens of tribes, and almost all of the men are string-controlling people, as many as more than 400,000. The source of more than 400,000 soldiers is divided into three classes, the most inferior is the servant army, which is composed of small vassal tribes or captives and slaves taken from everywhere.
The second is the Jiewei Army, which is composed of young and strong people in the tribe, these people grew up on horseback, are familiar with bows and arrows, and are the main force of the Northern Desert and the Southern Expedition and Northern War.
The highest rank was the detachment army, the Great Khan's bodyguard. Every year, the Northern Desert selects brave and warlike warriors from the servant army and the Jiewei army to form a detachment army, a total of 25,000 people, and is divided into three parts: golden wolf, blue wolf and black wolf, and the elite of the elite of the 5,000 golden wolf army, which is led by the Great Khan himself.
The wind blew the black wolf flag fiercely, and the occasional neighing of horses was heard in the procession, and the three thousand black wolf horsemen were divided into five teams and lined up neatly, with Batu Kunbo wearing chain mail at the front of the line. In the distance, a scout rode towards him.
The detective rode in front of Kunbo's mount, his front hooves raised high, and the knight immediately said loudly: "Report, the Ashi Department and the Hun branch are defeated, and the front is seven miles." ”
Batu Kunbo sneered: "Ashi Zhimo is this waste, he shouts more fiercely than anyone else, it just can't capture Huangsha Pass, how can he not even compare to Zheng Qi, the eagle actually lost to the sparrow, which really shames the grassland." ”
As he spoke, the dust could already be seen in the distance, and the defeated soldiers fled.
