Chapter 271: Arms Fight Each Other
This is the military formation that Zhang Fan saw on the real shijie network in the past, and he doesn't know if it's right. No matter, let's be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Then a sergeant who saw it climbed to the roof of the resident's house and looked into the distance.
In the distance, the city was in flames, and it seemed that the soldiers of Bahan were already taking the people of the city captive. Because it is impossible for the Great Food Kingdom to do this as a defender, the Tang army will take Talas City, and they will also hold on to this place, and they will not set fire to it, then there will only be the soldiers of Bahanna.
Green Wing was closing his eyes to recuperate, when his eyes suddenly opened and he whispered, "It's coming!" ”
After a while, the sergeant on the lookout also gestured, it was cavalry! The Arab light cavalry, first of all, got the news of the loss of the East Gate and quickly arrived! The sound of hurried horses' hooves knocked on the ground urgently, and Green Wing listened silently, no less than two hundred riders!
Zhang Fan said in his heart, what can the cavalry restrain it? Archer? Remote should be. He remembered a sentence: The Mo sword soldiers marched forward in formation, advancing like a wall, and the blockers were all shattered!
"Archer prepare!" Zhang Fan shouted, only to hear a "squeak and quack!" behind him! "The sound of a tooth-aching bowstring pulling. Fifty archers pointed their arrows to the sky.
"Put!" One of the commanders in command of the archers gave an order.
"Boom! Boom! Jump! Jump! "Dozens of feathered arrows shot into the air! Then the second group of staggered archers released their arrows again, and when they had finished shooting, the first group of archers had already wound themselves and shot again. Take turns in turn, shooting back and forth.
"Ready!" The commander of the Mo knife hand shouted an order, and the Mo knife soldiers in the front row moved forward more than ten meters, forming several semicircular defensive formations, and pulling some distance from the Mo knife soldiers behind. As usual, squatting down the Mo knife obliquely xiangshang, like a humanoid rejection of the horse.
The streets were not very wide, and many cavalry swarmed in, and as soon as they entered the range of the archers, they were greeted with a rain of arrows, blocking the road in front of them!
The Arab light cavalry is a very strong fighting class and is also famous in the history of Shijie. I saw them riding their horses and charging under the rain of arrows! The fighting qualities are very high! This wave of arrows rained down, and only a dozen cavalry were shot down!
But a dozen or so horses tripped the cavalry behind, forming a chain reaction. With dozens of fallen war horses that had not had time to cross. The streets were full of people shouting and neighing!
The cavalry that had dodged the rain of arrows in front had rushed to a hundred meters away, and some archers had already begun to flatten their bows and arrows and shoot directly, at such a distance, the lethality was greater, the cavalry was fine, but the horses couldn't stand it. The fallen men and horses were trampled by the follow-up cavalry, and the casualties immediately increased!
The distance of 100 meters has become a passage of death! However, this distance is too short for the cavalry, and after a few horses fell, the cavalry of the Great Food Country has almost rushed to the front!
At this time, the cavalry who rushed to the front was already facing a row of rejecting horses, good fellow! The Arab War Horse is really not Gade! The first horse, actually jumped over! The beautiful posture can be used as a standard demonstration of obstacle riding standards!
But the follow-up horses were not so lucky, because the cavalry in front blocked the view, and when they found out, there was no longer the distance to react. For a time, the men and horses who rushed forward at high speed were pierced by sharp stakes, the war horses neighed and rolled forward, and the cavalry was also thrown out of the distance! A wail rang out.
The follow-up cavalry did not have time to dodge and crashed into it. But the sacrificial cavalry also knocked over the horse and fell to the side of the road. Let the cavalry behind pass smoothly.
The cavalry at the front had already approached the Tang soldiers, and the eighty Mo sword soldiers shouted, "Kill!" "The morale has risen, the body is flushed with red light, and the impact of the cavalry of the Great Food Country has been weakened several times, and the power of the forward rush has been greatly relieved!
The first war horse slammed into the blades of several Mo sword soldiers, and was pierced through the body fiercely! After the long blade penetrated the body, he also assassinated the cavalry on horseback, and the long knife was swung again, and sure enough, everyone and horses were shattered!
The second wave of cavalry had superb horsemanship, and wanted to cross the horse from the humanoid rejection! This humanoid rejection horse is not a dead thing, the long knife of the Mo knife soldier is slightly moved, the intestines are pierced and the stomach is broken, and the people and horses are still broken!
There are also cavalry soldiers who took advantage of the Mo knife sabers in the front row, hanging the corpses of war horses, and crossed over from above in the gap where they could not pull out their knives, but the second row of Mo knife soldiers stopped them, and they were still broken! This Mo sword soldier is indeed the nemesis of the cavalry!
After a round of charge, the light cavalry of the Great Food Country has lost its momentum, and the Tang soldiers are waiting for work, and it is their morale like a rainbow!
"Kill!" The formation of the Mo sword soldiers changed slightly, and the half-moon formation turned into a sharp triangle, and the sharp arrow formation! Mo Dao Soldier Attack Formation! Two rows of Mo sword soldiers marched forward like a wall with Mo knives, and the war horses rushing in front were all cut down!
At this time, a hundred elite infantry came up from behind and killed the cavalry that had escaped the net one by one. Hundreds of meters of blood flowed from the streets, and the corpses were scattered and scattered on the road. On the rammed dirt road, a puddle of blood condenses the road surface very slippery. The violent smell of blood, as if you are in a slaughterhouse, you want to vomit!
Hundreds of cavalry, coming and going, going faster. A gust of wind turned the horse's head and fled! After a while, the streets were deserted again.
Zhang Fan, along with dozens of sergeants who were cleaning the battlefield, picked up Damascus knives, and those sergeants, while picking up the prunes, stabbed the enemy soldiers and horses who were not yet dead to death, so that they would not suffer.
There was no way to capture the seriously injured war horse, Zhang Fan collected more than 20 Damascus knives, and two Arab war horses that had lost their knights, and the knights were estimated to have trampled to death after tripping over the war horses.
What makes Zhang Fan happy is that the two war horses can be stored in the space, but instead of being in the form of war horses, they are transformed into a toy Trojan horse, that is, the head of a wooden horse, and it is very interesting to press a wooden stick underneath.
The first victory, Zhang Fan and other precept holders have confidence. Counting the personnel, it was found that only three Mo Dao soldiers were seriously injured, and five or six were slightly injured. Zhang Fan cured them, as long as they didn't die, anything would be easy.
After a while, the scouts reported that a group of spearmen from the Great Food Country had arrived, about five hundred, followed by the light cavalry who had just been defeated and retreated!
Everyone's hearts are lifted again! That's a lot of people! Then Li Siye doesn't know what he's busy with? I can't come until after the attack of the three waves of the Great Food Country!
Thirty spearmen marched in a line, three in a formation, with the spears in the back row resting on the shoulders of the front row, advancing towards the city gate in five waves. Zuihou is the light cavalry of the Great Food Country.
The momentum in the sky above the military formation condensed into a huge porcupine covered with spikes! Howling arches the spike forward.
Spearmen? Zhang Fan looked at the phalanx of spearmen of the Great Food Country who were walking neatly and lined up in a dense formation, and thought to himself in his heart. With such a dense formation, the archers will definitely be able to deal damage! If you get close, the length of the blade of the Mo Knife Soldier may suffer.
Thinking of this, he shouted: "The Mo sword soldier retreats, and the shield soldier steps forward!" ”
The Tang soldiers immediately staggered their formation, and a hundred elite shield light infantry stepped forward, fifty rectangular square shields, forming an arc-shaped shield wall on every five sides, which were staggered and blocked in front, and the second layer was lined up behind, forming a defensive depth. The quality of the Tang army is good, as long as you give orders, they will be able to form the best formation on their own and complete your requirements.
In this arrangement, it seems to be in twos and threes, but the spearmen can't break through the shield wall, so they will naturally be surrounded by the sergeants behind and attack forward, so they will be squeezed into the gap vacated by the shield soldiers.
However, after entering the gap, they were blocked by the shield wall behind, and their offensive naturally collapsed. Then the horizontal knife of the shield soldier plays a role in such a narrow space! Slay the spearmen who can't turn and swing!
After arranging the shield soldiers, Zhang Fan asked the archers to prepare. At this time, those Mo Dao soldiers who retreated to the back of the shield formation also put down their Mo Dao, took off the bows and arrows behind them, and prepared to shoot!
All the sergeants of the Don Army were armed with bows and arrows!
Entering the firing range, more than a hundred archers, covering the rain of arrows of the attack, caused a lot of damage to the unprotected spearmen of the Great Food Country! There were many gaps in the formation of the spearmen, and from the point of view, they looked as ugly as dysentery!
However, the fighting quality of the sergeants of the Great Food Country is also extraordinary, and they still attack forward according to the original route of advance! No one retreated! At a distance of two hundred meters, the spearmen of the Great Food Country began to charge! The faster you charge, the less chance you will be attacked by enemy archers! At such a short distance, the archers can make up to three more shots!
This is the most tragic for the spearmen, and it is necessary to pave the way for the attack with corpses! But they believed that as long as they were allowed to rush closer, the Tang Army would definitely be pierced by their impact!
Finally, the formation of the spearmen of the Great Food Country and the defensive formation of the shield soldiers of the Tang Army collided together! The defensive formation took a step back, unloaded the liliang of the first round of impact, and then withstood the impact!
Sure enough, the curved shield wall unloaded the impact of the spearmen and squeezed in through the gap in the formation, and the spearmen involuntarily drilled into the alley formed by the shield, but they were stopped by the shield wall behind, and the spears were squeezed into the narrow space like a bamboo pole that had been retracted!
The follow-up charge continued, squeezing the soldiers in front of them into the shield wall! The shield soldier's horizontal sword waved, and the first spearmen who were squeezed into the shield array were killed without resistance!
The shield soldiers began to counterattack! Block the spear's stab with your left shield, unsteam the spear, step forward, approach the spearman, and slash with your sword! In this way, it progresses layer by layer, consuming the number and morale of the opponent!
The Mo knife soldiers in the rear also re-loaded their bows and arrows, and raised their Mo knives to slash and kill the enemy soldiers who slipped through the net one by one! As soon as the spearmen were approached, they lost their onslaught, the threat they posed. The huge attack power of the Mo knife was revealed, and with one sword, the spear could be cut into two pieces along with his master!
The spearmen began to realize that such a confrontation was unwise, and that such thoughts, once they arose, would be difficult to stifle. And so the rout began, and it was out of control at the first shot.
But they weren't cavalry, they didn't have that kind of mobility! And so the rout turned into a one-sided slaughter of the pursuers! The streets are full of spears that have been discarded by the soldiers of the Great Food Country, and it is really inconvenient for such a long guy to run away with them!
