Turbulent Times Chapter 1232: Fighting phalanx

Shan Xiongxin saw the tenacity and fortitude of the five thousand bandits in Xiongkuohai, and led hundreds of cavalry to rush the rout to the people in Xiongkuohai with all their strength, trying to disrupt the opponent, but was defeated by Xiongkuohai. Kuo Hai's decisiveness and ruthlessness drove the defeated soldiers to both sides.

When Shan Xiongxin and his party were more than 200 steps away from Xiongkuo, Xiongkuohai led nearly a thousand cavalry directly to the reconnaissance cavalry led by Shan Xiongxin.

Besides, when there were still twenty steps away from Shan Xiongxin, Xiong Kuohai directly took out a short ax from the side pocket of the horse, and threw it casually. Yaman, it can be seen how terrifying this still power is.

Xiong Kuo Hai still's hatchet shot at Shan Xiongxin, to be precise, it was the horse under his crotch. Shan Xiongxin had just killed a fleeing rebel, shouted, and waved the horse general The hatchet flew away.

At this time, Sun Tieya had long stopped riding with the Shanxiongs. She was riding a horse, watching alone, looking at the direction of Dou Jiande, who was guarded by Gao Jibo's rebels. , with an indifferent and cold expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Xi..." The frightened war horse neighed, raised its front legs high, and kicked around violently. The next moment, Xiong Kuohai appeared in front of Shan Xiongxin with a long-handled ax in his right hand. Swing straight at Shan Xiongxin's weakness.

Xiong Kuo Hai kept his short ax first, and then rushed forward, trying to kill with one blow. With this combination of moves, he has killed many masters over the years.

Shan Xiongxin's pupils shrunk slightly. He did not expect Xiong Kuohai to be so fast. Amidst the loud shout, his body turned halfway violently, and Ma Leng stabbed fiercely. Collided with the surface of the axe, splashing a string of sparks in mid-air.

Xiong Kuohai's body trembled slightly, but Shan Xiongxin's body swayed violently, his heart was shocked, this Xiongkuohai had such great strength.

Shocked in his heart, Shan Xiongxin stepped back halfway on his horse, retracted his lance, and swept out like lightning.

The weapons of the two quickly collided several times, and then Xiong Kuohai's figure rushed past Shan Xiongxin and rushed towards another Fanyang County cavalry, and Shan Xiongxin's horse smashed a bandit behind Xiong Kuohai He got off the horse and died before he landed.

In order to avoid the broken soldiers, Xiong Kuohai led a group of cavalry to cut them diagonally. This horizontal-to-vertical tactic effectively cut off the fleeing broken soldiers and the officers and soldiers who were chasing after them. Very unfavorable.

Only a face-to-face meeting, Shan Xiongxin and Liu Fangyi led these thousands of bandit cavalry to kill nearly a hundred of them. , made a small half circle not far from one side, and rushed over again without hesitation, cross-cutting and fighting with the cavalry led by Shan Xiongxin.

Xiong Kuohai's powerful style of attack immediately disrupted the attack rhythm of the cavalry led by Shan Xiongxin, at least he was unable to chase down the rout, and Shan Xiongxin had to lead his men to adjust the horse's head to meet Xiongkuo head-on Shock of the sea.

For the second time, the two sides confronted each other head-on, but because there were not many cavalry, the two sides quickly separated, leaving the sky full of red rain.

In this confrontation, more than 20 cavalrymen of Fanyang County fell, but nearly 50 bandits under Xiong Kuohai's command died.

"The soldiers of King Qin An of the dog day are really powerful. Last time we met each other with one hundred people, we defeated more than a thousand soldiers from the other side of Taihang Mountain and fled."

Xiong Kuohai cursed, and decisively led his people back. Anyway, his goal has been achieved. All the defeated soldiers have retreated behind his infantry formation, and began to regroup under the scolding of Gaojibo's second leader. , began to lay down the battle formation.

As the Xiongkuo kelp people retreated to the army formation, the fighting on the battlefield came to an end temporarily. The more than 4,000 county soldiers who had killed the Quartet just now came to the army led by Shan Xiongxin in three formations. There are more than 600 cavalry behind.

Shan Xiongxin did not order an immediate attack, but carefully observed the infantry battle formation set up by the five thousand bandits in Xiongkuohai.

It can be seen that although he is a bandit, Xiong Kuohai is obviously proficient in battle formations. The shield and spear are forward, the horizontal knife is in the middle, and the archers are behind. A very sharp feeling.

However, the battle formation composed of more than 4,000 county soldiers in Fanyang County was quiet and terrifying, neat and strange, giving Xiong Kuohai and the others on the opposite side a rock-solid feeling.

The cold wind is howling, by the Zhangshui River, the horizontal knife and the rock are far away

Yes, looking for each other's flaws, secretly looking for a way to defeat the enemy.

As long as an order is issued, the two sides will start a new round of desperate fights. But neither Shan Xiongxin nor Xiong Kuohai ordered the attack first, and the two armies faced each other at a distance, allowing some wounded soldiers who could not move on the battlefield to scream.

In less than half an hour just now, Dou Jiande's Gaojibo rebels killed more than 3,000 people, while Shan Xiongxin's 1,000 cavalry led by Shan Xiongxin killed more than 300 people. Pushed over, but there were not many casualties, only more than two hundred people, and because of the victory just now, the murderous aura was soaring, and the morale was like a rainbow.

The battlefield didn't stay quiet for a long time, and then began to fight again, this time it was a battle between infantry and infantry.

Shan Xiongxin led the cavalry to the back of the infantry phalanx. He thought it was the best time for the county soldiers to practice battle.

Although Xiong Kuohai saw that the phalanx of the county soldiers was difficult to deal with, he was very confident in the 5,000 elites he had trained by himself, so he ordered the 5,000 bandits under his command to form a battle formation and fight against them. The county soldiers came to kill them.

Seeing the first wave of crossbow arrows shot by the county soldiers, Shan Xiongxin said to Liu Fangyi next to him: "Although these bandits were trained by Xiong Kuohai to become elite soldiers, it is a pity that they encountered our army in Fanyang County."

The archers among the bandits in the Taihang Mountains also started shooting. The first platoon of county soldiers was knocked down by more than ten people in the first shot, but the drums behind them kept beating, and the soldiers in the back row seemed to be facing the front. The soldiers turned a blind eye to the instant casualties, and ran two quick steps to replenish their superiors. Then they all fell to the opponent's second shot. The back row quickly ran up to fill the seat, and then flew for the third time...

Soon the infantry of the two sides rushed together. The Taihang bandit had a rattan shield in his hand to cover his body, and swung a long knife in the other hand to fight. This way of fighting allowed them to defeat many counterparts in the Taihang Mountain. Defeated several encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers.

But now they encountered the soldiers from Fanyang County who charged straight up. Each of these county soldiers had a nine-foot spear in their hands. The tip of the spear was made of fine steel, which was extremely sharp and hard. Only the subordinates will have this kind of weapon. The rattan shield in the hands of the bandit who rushed to the front was easily pierced by the steel gun, and the bandit in the front was the first to be stabbed into a blood man.
