You don't have to aim at such a close distance, because you are afraid of accidentally injuring an enemy on the opposite side. The soldiers on the two columns of box cars were actually shooting at each other, and if they didn't shoot at the same level, they would shoot their own people, so they had to adjust the firing angle a little downward.

If the enemy does not pursue, then the Qingtang cavalry can first hide in the box car formation to breathe and breathe, whether to build a position defense or slowly advance depends on the situation.

"You changed this?" After another year of training, the efficiency of the new army was obviously much higher than that of the Battle of Liangzhou, and the formation was roughly lined up in less than ten minutes, and only rows of steel helmets like the bottom of the pot could be seen on the carriage, and no one would look up out of curiosity.

But Hong Tao still found a problem, this formation is a little different from the original design of himself. Originally, the box cars were supposed to be arranged in a single row and faced the enemy sideways, but now they have become a double-row head-to-head arrangement, with the rear of the car exposed. The soldiers were not all hiding in the box car, and some of them got out of the car and lay in the space under the car.

"Hey, hey, hey, this will prevent the camels from being killed or injured. Didn't the officials say that if you are not poor in food and drink, you will be poor if you can't calculate. "Sure enough, I guessed correctly, the change of formation was Wang Da's handiwork, and she actually knew how to calculate costs.

"Doesn't this reduce the area of engagement with the enemy, is it really easy to use?" Hong Tao did not reprimand Wang Da for changing his formation without permission, it was not himself who really commanded the battle but these front-line commanders, what was good and what was not, it was more accurate to listen to their opinions.

"There are only two thousand cavalry in Qingtang, which is enough to accommodate them. If there are a large number, it is still a good formation of officials. Wang Da is not proud, she has changed the formation for good reason.

"Well, that's good, but it's useless, and whether it's good or not depends on the curative effect...... That's a lot! ”

In fact, Hong Tao has agreed with Wang Da's changes in his heart, and it is a very reasonable choice to minimize losses without reducing the effect, and it is also a good mode of thinking not to be conformist and not dogmatic. But these children really can't boast casually, their hearts are too big to suppress, and a boast is not directly carried away.

At this time, the cavalry team in the west can already be seen with the naked eye, the Qingtang cavalry is robbing the east and west, and they are all good at escaping, and the horses are about to fly.

When they saw the formation, they ran to this side even more desperately, forming more than a dozen spears while running, and the riders behind them also began to retract their formation, gradually moving closer behind these spearheads.

"Hmph, useless waste, you know how to grab things, but you haven't forgotten the trick of escaping!"

Wang Da looked down on anyone's troops except for the new army, including the Qingtang cavalry. On weekdays, the new army will also take time to practice formations with them, and how to cover each other is the key point.

In the future, if you don't talk about this kind of thing, it will not be conducive to unity when it reaches people's ears, and the soldiers will think more when they hear it. Borrow your crossbow for the use of officials, and I will take the lead once. ”

Hong Tao can understand Wang Da's feelings, they rarely suffer losses when they follow them, and it is easy to think that others should live like this, and whoever doesn't learn is a stupid and stupid person. It is okay to say that it is proud, and it is okay to say that it is not deeply involved in the world, anyway, Hong Tao cannot be corrected, and it is up to them to understand it slowly.

Now is not the time to be reasonable, the Qingtang cavalry team is already very close to the car formation, Hong Tao sat on the wooden box containing rockets in the box car, put his face in the shooting hole and looked out. This is what he calls leading by example, hiding behind the shooting hole and shooting.

For Hong Tao, it is indeed very hard to kill the enemy with his own hands, if he is in a bad mood and does not even get close to the shooting hole, he just waits. When will you blow the trumpet and clean up the battlefield, when will you show your head, safety first.

The Suzhou soldiers were a little fearless of the ignorant people, and they didn't pay attention to these car formations at all with the morale of the big victory, some of them rushed in with the butts of the Qingtang cavalry, and some of them bypassed both sides of the car formation, intending to go to the front to intercept.

Then they were tragic, and with the muffled sound of the bowstring, the striker, who had already burrowed into half of the formation, suddenly lost his front hooves, and the same was true for those who followed closely behind.

Some of the wounded horses had not yet lost the ability to run, and they crashed into the box cart regardless of it. It's a pity that the sturdy body of the car just shook, and the wheels were firmly held up by the triangular wooden blocks, so there was no place at all, and there was no way to escape.

But the square hole in the carriage was not idle, one after another tailless steel crossbows calmly shot into the bodies of all the living creatures in front of them, and at the same time, smoke began to rise from the box car at the front of the formation.

It was a rocket firing, and all the cavalry that rushed into the formation were blocked, and the front was full of dead horses and riders, and the reinforcements behind were also swept down by the rockets in rows. But the enemy couldn't see anywhere, and the car array was like a big lifeless machine, harvesting life in an orderly manner.

"Walk you...... Damn, shoot crooked again! I said Wasp, can you pretend to hurry up, you seriously affect your official's record like this. ”

Hong Tao didn't care what the enemy's reaction was, two war horses were also killed in front of his box cart, and the two knights with turbans on their heads were not dead, and they were very clever to hide behind the dead horses to observe the surrounding situation, trying to find a chance to escape.

The first crossbow shot a knight in a crooked shot, and the soldiers in the opposite box cart had already given up attacking the other knight, just waiting to entertain Lord Shuaiji. But the second and third shots were missed, which made Hong Tao very faceless, and the responsibility was of course on the wasps who helped with the winding in the back.

"Officer, they've stopped attacking!" Wang Da secretly raised the scorpion crossbow and nailed the crossbow arrow to the knight's face, and hurriedly interrupted it for fear that his adoptive father would be anxious.

The Suzhou cavalry did retreat, and no one could bear dozens of hornet's nests to launch together, seeing the companions in front of them lodging like wheat encountering a sickle, and the riders behind would turn their horses' heads and run away to the sides even if they didn't know what was happening, and those who ran slowly were still unlucky.

"I! Standing shooting is still very accurate. Hong Tao hadn't forgotten the rider, stood up and took a look, directly penetrating the opponent's throat. Now I feel a little embarrassed, not because my shooting stinks but because my posture is wrong.

"Hit me as you think, don't ask me anything. The officials want to hand over Suzhou to you to guard, what do you think? Think about it and then answer, follow the officials back to Liangzhou and don't get any battles all day long, staying here is the front line. When Weiqiao Town sends the next batch of armaments, it will continue to advance westward from here. ”

It is 500 miles from Liangzhou to Ganzhou, 400 miles from Ganzhou to Suzhou, and more than 400 miles from Suzhou to Guazhou. As the area of land under his rule became larger and larger, Hong Tao felt that he was powerless, and he couldn't lead the team every time he went out, and it was time for Wang Da to fly solo.

"Let's take Suzhou down first! Heralds, blow the trumpet, and keep a distance between the left and right teams! "Wang Da really wants to fly solo, and he has the bottom of his heart to fight with the officials, but he can't say it. She felt that she had learned her skills and was able to take charge on her own.

However, she has a problem like her adoptive father, a dead duck has a hard mouth, and she obviously wants it in her heart, and she has to pretend to be light. It's just that my little face is already red, and I really want to laugh out loud.

The Suzhou cavalry did not retreat, but did not continue the pursuit, and was divided into several teams from a distance, and was detouring to both sides of the car formation. They wanted to see what the weaknesses of this strange car formation were, since they couldn't rush in front, they wouldn't have such strong defenses on the left and right or behind.

Before I could see it, the chariot array suddenly moved, and it was very neatly divided into two hollow phalanxes, surrounding the Qingtang cavalry in the middle, bypassing the dead men and dead horses in front, and moving stubbornly towards Suzhou along the post road at the speed of walking.

This is a bit annoying, the cost-effective people didn't take these thousands of cavalry in their eyes at all, and planned to take the cavalry to attack Suzhou together.

The nomads with living faces and living bark, and the fierce nomads could not stand this kind of slow treatment, and without waiting for the order, the team in the left rear launched another attack. They intended to teach the convoy a lesson from behind, so that these arrogant Han Chinese could see that the Uighur cavalry was no worse than the Western Liang Iron Cavalry.

As soon as the team in the left rear moved, the thousands of Suzhou cavalry on the right couldn't help it, and the heroes saw the same thing, and they also wanted to deal a heavy blow to this Han convoy from the flank.
