As Li Mi sent more than 10,000 cavalry led by Wang Bodang to the field, the wave of cavalry who had been shattered by the strange spear battle before retreated with lingering fear, but in this short period of time, They lost more than 3,000 cavalry. In addition to the cavalry confrontation of the two sides before, the 40,000 cavalry brought by Li Mi had already lost about 10,000 people. On the other hand, Wang Junlin lost more than 1,000 cavalry. The infantry only lost more than 400 people.

Seeing Wang Bodang leading a new wave of cavalry to charge towards his own side with a serious expression, Wang Junlin gave an order, and the 10,000 dismounted tiger camp phalanx resounded with orderly drums. All the soldiers in the front three rows hold iron guns in both hands, and the three rows in the back hold iron guns in one hand and quick crossbows in the other.

Under the command of their respective captains and centurions, they no longer stood firm, and even walked towards the enemy with their heads held high, stopping a hundred paces before the enemy's front line.

At this time, the cavalry led by Wang Bodang rushed up and started throwing bows and arrows. The nearly ten thousand armored soldiers standing in the rain of arrows in the Tiger Camp did not panic at all. They were as peaceful as standing in the sun enjoying the spring breeze, which naturally benefited The order and prohibition of the Snake Island queue training method has made them form an instinct.

At this time, Wang Bodang led the cavalry and was already 400 paces away. Before Wang Bodang led his troops to confront Luo Shixin and Yuchi Jingde, only 17,000 of his 20,000 cavalry remained. Maintaining the basic formation during the acceleration, as Wang Bodang roared, he immediately rushed towards the Tiger Camp at full speed.

"Squat down in the first three rows! Reject the horse!" Wang Junlin had already asked Yuchi Jingde to return to the nearly ten thousand subordinates who had dismounted and fought in person. They wanted to pull their infantry phalanx into the melee, and then broke their own infantry phalanx by taking advantage of their numbers. So he immediately ordered loudly, and the messengers around him conveyed the order as quickly as possible, and it was quickly executed.

Facing the previous wave of cavalry, the soldiers of the Tiger Camp who dismounted and fought on foot were still a little nervous.

The soldiers, however, were left with incomparable self-confidence and murderous intentions. The soldiers obeyed the orders. The soldiers in the first three rows pointed their spears obliquely at the front, doing the standard horse refusal action, while the soldiers in the back rows first used The fast crossbow socket began to aim, ready to shoot.

The infantry phalanx charged the cavalry, the first three rows squatted down first, and the last three rows shot with fast crossbows first. This in itself is the basic training in the Snake Island infantry battle formation regulations.

At this time, there is no need for Yuchi Jingde to order the attack, and each captain will make his own judgment and issue orders.

When the enemy cavalry rushed to about 120 paces, all the captains looked hideous almost at the same time, and shouted loudly: "The last three rows of fast crossbows are ready!"

The three rows of soldiers at the back of each captain's battle formation turned sideways to look for the shooting point. The captain didn't give them too much time to prepare, and immediately roared: "Aim!"

1,000 people make up a capital, and one captain is set up. Nearly half of the soldiers in each capital are holding fast crossbows. The ten thousand people are subdivided into ten thousand-man phalanxes, and the front facing the enemy is five A square of thousands of people. More than 2,000 fast crossbows aimed at the charging enemy cavalry. Amidst the sound of thunderous hooves, all the captains waited coldly for the enemy cavalry to enter about eighty steps, and then shouted loudly: "Let go!"

There was a buzzing sound, each fast crossbow was fired nine times in a row and all were shot empty, and in order to avoid all shooting at the enemy soldiers in the front row, they would take a breath between each crossbow. More than 500 enemy cavalry in the front row fell to the ground. While the cavalry was majestic, it also provided a bigger target. Most of the hits were horses.

"Stand up in the front row! Aim!" The voices of the captains were still very steady, but the voice of the order was a little faster.

Amidst the shouts of the captains, the soldiers in the front row stood up and raised the crossbow, while the row behind began to load arrows into the crossbow.

"Launch!"

Another round of more than 2,000 fast crossbows fired nine bursts at intervals, and the enemy cavalry in front of them fell down again by four or five hundred, causing chaos again, but the other cavalry accelerated and rushed crazily.

At this time, the Tiger Camp phalanx had no time to start the next round of shooting.

"Reject horses in the front row!" All the captains gave an order, and the soldiers in the front row who had just finished shooting squatted down, and the soldiers in the second and third rows stood up and raised their guns. generally.

The enemy cavalry roared towards them, and the Tiger Camp soldiers in front of them did not panic at all. Instead, they set up such a long spear formation. When the cavalry trains the infantry phalanx, they often have confrontation training with infantry and cavalry, and the psychological endurance of the soldiers has already been exercised.

The dense array of iron spears stimulated the eyes of Yang Su's cavalry and horses. Removed the cavalry final collision effect.

But in this way, many infantrymen in the first row of the Tiger Battalion were knocked into the air, and more than 200 people were killed or injured on the spot. However, it successfully blocked the charge of the enemy cavalry. The cavalry lost the advantage of charging, and the length of their weapons could not beat the infantry with long spears. The same scene as before happened again. Even though Wang Bodang shouted loudly and led his elite soldiers to kill the enemy desperately, it still made them become almost immediately. Behind the Tiger Battalion are the targets of the fast crossbow infantry.

Before they died, some cavalrymen from Yang Su's side threw all kinds of weapons in their hands to the soldiers of the Tiger Camp in front of them, even knocking down more than 200 infantrymen. But this still changed the final result of this infantry confrontation battle——Wang Bodang returned with a big defeat on his face, more than 17,000 cavalry lost a full half, and only more than 8,000 people retreated in embarrassment And back. In Tiger Camp, more than 700 people died.

Two waves of cavalry were defeated and retreated one after another. This scene was watched by Li Mi. While being shocked, his face was so gloomy that he could drip ink. In the world, there will be infantry phalanxes that can be so powerful.

"No, this phalanx may just be a battle formation specially researched by Wang Junlin to restrain cavalry."

Thinking of this, Li Mi turned his head and shouted at the messengers on the left and right: "Commander, let us 25,000 infantry go up, the enemy's infantry is less than 10,000, and our number is two or three times as many as theirs!" , and we are a new force, they have already fought twice, as long as we defeat them, we will win this battle."

The messengers passed the orders separately, and the generals at all levels of the army led by Li Mi were also experienced in battle. They soon felt that it was the best choice for the infantry to fight the infantry at this time.
