Chapter 225: A Narrow Road Encounter Encounter

An Qingxu killed his father and usurped the throne, established himself as the emperor, and at the beginning of the year, he ordered Shi Siming to return to Fanyang, leaving Cai Xide and others to continue to besiege Taiyuan.

Shi Si knew that after An Lushan's death, he suddenly became self-reliant, he was not ordered to retreat to Fanyang, but still sent the elite to investigate the situation in Taiyuan, and did not extinguish the idea of capturing Taiyuan City.

It's just that the commander of the scout team under Shi Siming's command felt that something was wrong today, because the scouts he had scattered had not been seen back since Mao Shi, and none of them had been returned.

The commander of the scout team was uneasy, so he reported this time to Cai Xide, who was a fierce general under Shi Siming, brave and good at fighting, and quite talented, but not a straw bag.

He immediately felt that the situation was different, but he did not alarm Shi Siming for the time being, but sent five hundred wolf cavalry, and two thousand cavalry to carefully investigate in the direction of Taiyuan City along the way, and as a result, they collided head-on with the Cangyun Pioneer Battalion led by Song Senxue more than ten miles away.

Song Senxue bumped into the cavalry team sent by Shi Siming head-on, and almost instantly made up her mind that she must not let them discover the army behind, otherwise maybe the situation would change, so she would fight with them here.

And Tang Wuying and Ye Wei, who were in the forests on both sides to clear the wolf tooth spies, naturally also discovered this situation, and the two of them immediately led their disciples to touch forward.

As soon as the leader of the Wolf Tooth Army over there found Song Senxue and his party, his first reaction was to be surprised, but when he saw that the other party only had a thousand people, he immediately pulled out the scimitar on his waist and shouted, "Kill." ”

"Woohoo woo woo ......"

"Kill ......"

The first to attack was the wolf cavalry, who brandished the scimitar in his hand and roared and rushed forward.

A thousand Cangyun warriors didn't panic at all, only heard Song Senxue shout, "Shield wall." ”

"Qiang Qiang ......"

The first row of Cangyun warriors slammed the iron shield in their hands to the ground, the shield surface tilted slightly, and the shield in the second row was put on the shield of the first row of soldiers, and the third row was on the other......

A slightly sloping shield wall of iron shields appeared on the wide official road, and the shield wall was not just shields next to each other, but layered on top of each other, extremely strong.

However, although this shield wall is strong, it is not a pure defensive formation, Cangyun's shield shape is very distinctive, not a complete piece, there are still some holes or gaps in the shield.

In a few breaths after the shield wall was erected, the wolf cavalry had already roared and rushed over, and when it was about to hit the shield wall, the giant wolf threw himself at the shield wall.

Because the shield wall was slightly tilted, there were gaps in the shield, and the giant wolf's paws were on those gaps, and he wanted to climb over the shield wall.

Song Senxue was not in a hurry, and shouted again, "Grab the knife." ”

The Cangyun warriors held the shield with their left shoulder, and the long knife in their right hand was already ready, and as soon as they heard Song Senxue's order, they immediately raised the long knife in their right hand and stabbed it out of the gap in those shields.

"Puff puff ......"

"Woohoo woo woo ......"

"Ah......h

There was a sound of sharp blades entering the flesh, followed by the screams of the giant wolf and the screams of the wolf cavalry who fell off the wolf's back and were pressed under the giant wolf.

The wolf is a beast, known as the copper-headed, iron-bone, tofu waist, which shows that the wolf's Achilles' heel is the waist, but the abdomen is the Achilles' heel of all animals, including high-level animals and humans.

With a piercing in the abdomen, even a xenomorph giant wolf could no longer survive, and it was only a matter of time before he died.

Seeing that it was obviously unrealistic to climb over the shield wall head-on, the wolf cavalry left and right after dropping dozens of giant wolf corpses and wolf cavalry injuries, and prepared to go around the two wings of the Cangyun Army array.

Unexpectedly, as they moved, the shield wall of the Cangyun warriors also changed, and the original straight shield wall quickly bent inward at both ends, and finally formed a circular formation.

Seeing that the Cangyun Army was like a turtle that had retracted its limbs into its shell, and had no idea where to start, the leader of the wolf fangs was so angry that he screamed, and immediately made a stupid move, "Cavalry battalion, use the spear in your hand as a throwing spear, and throw it into it for me from above." ”

The cavalry of the two thousand retreats immediately rode their horses and galloped, and with the inertia of the horses rushing forward, they threw their spears towards the gap above the circle.

The spear flew out with a hundred rods and a hundred rods, cut through the parabola, and plunged into the center of the circle.

But don't forget, except for a few masters who make double or single knives, basically everyone in the Cangyun Army has a shield, and the Cangyun warriors who are currently in the center of the circle raise the iron shield, forming an iron lid to cover it.

"Jingle ......"

The spear fell on the iron shield like thatch on the water, and not a single wave appeared.

The last shortcoming of the round array was also made up, and the Cangyun Army at this time could be said to have no flaws, and it was already invincible.

A trace of contempt flashed in Song Senxue's eyes, and she snorted coldly, "Just two thousand five hundred horsemen dare to launch an attack on my 1,000 Cangyun army, I really don't know how to write the dead word, give me a turn." ”

To break the shield array of the Cangyun army, there were only two ways, either to use catapults to smash them with stone bullets, or to send several times or even ten times the enemy's cavalry to launch a continuous assault and forcibly break the formation.

There is no other way.

Of course, if ordinary soldiers put out this round formation, there are too many ways to break it, but on the contrary, this shield array is set up by the Cangyun Army, and they don't have many others, but there are many masters.

You have to break the formation, unless you have more masters in your army than the Cangyun army, and you can suppress the masters who can kill them to cover the shield formation, otherwise, you can only watch or forcibly destroy the formation with a large number of troops.

And more than 2,000 soldiers and horses are obviously not enough to forcibly break through the shield array.

With Song Senxue's sentence of "turn me", a long knife stretched out horizontally from the gaps on the shield of the shield array, and then the shield array spun around, and while rotating, it also moved forward rapidly.

The round array suddenly turned into a huge knife wheel, strangling towards the wolf tooth army's cavalry formation.

"Puff puff ......"

"Sigh the law ......"

"Woo ......"

"Uhh......h

The horses of the giant wolves and cavalrymen, who could not dodge, were slashed by the knife wheel, and both horses and wolves screamed or turned and fled, or fell to the ground.

"Woo Woo ......"

"Puff puff ......"

"Uh......"

"Ah......h

At this moment, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the side forest, this arrow rain was not a random arrow, but each arrow shot accurately killed one person, at most one person was hit by two or three arrows, and in an instant twenty or thirty people fell off their horses and died.

The leader of the wolf fangs was shocked, turned his head to look, and saw that at some point, a group of people dressed in black and masked in black scarves appeared on the side of the road, all of them holding strangely shaped crossbows in their hands.

The strangely shaped crossbow is called "Thousand Machine Box", but it is actually a repeater that is many times more clever than Zhuge Repeater, almost equivalent to a semi-automatic rifle in this era.

Except that the range and kinetic energy are not as strong as those of automatic rifles, there is no difference in other aspects.
