Turbulent Times Chapter 310: Army from High Terrace

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Book Friends 18672397'.)

I saw a winding mountain road two miles away. A team of more than a thousand people is quickly approaching their side. Right in front of the team, two large flags were waving in the wind. One of the big flags has the word "Zhou" embroidered on it.

"Reorganize the army, prepare the army for war!" Xue Qiluo had done enough homework in terms of intelligence before attacking Caogu this time. He immediately thought of Zhou Hu in Gaotai City, raised his voice, and loudly warned, "Changsheng The sky is watching our warriors, don’t panic, there are less than 2,000 enemies coming, and everyone who can pick up a knife and gun will come to me and prepare for war. There are only a thousand people, and we will kill them all!”

"Hurry up, speed up the team! Otherwise, everyone will die here today." After finishing speaking, Xue Qiluo suddenly remembered that the defenders of Gaotai City were not the direct descendants of Wang Junlin. After training the army.

Unconsciously, he was defeated by Wang Junlin twice, subconsciously, Xue Qiluo was already a little afraid of Wang Junlin. At this time, seeing that everyone's movements were not tense enough, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and urged him angrily.

"It seems that I came in time." At the same time Xue Qiluo was urging the remnants and defeated generals under his command to prepare for battle quickly, Zhou Hu also discovered Xue Yantuo's army on the mountain road through the eyes of his own scouts. Swinging the spear in his hand, he gave the order to attack without hesitation.

"Four riders in a row, keep a distance of one foot between each row. Brothers, follow me, this is a special military achievement left by the general for us!" Shouting loudly, he has already led the horse and rushed out.

"Kill!" The five hundred Gaotai City cavalry quickly followed, holding a special extended horizontal knife in their hands.

"Kill the Turkic dog thief, kill the Turkic dog thief—" the soldiers of Gaotai City, who had exhausted all their strength to make military exploits, opened their throats and shouted in unison. Everyone's face is full of desire for victory and military exploits. After Wang Junlin trained them again and intensively, this was the first time they fought a war.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom—" Xue Yantuo's army, who was threatened, quickly responded with the sound of drums. More than 3,000 soldiers who have just regained some physical strength, but last night lost their horses for their lives, reluctantly formed a Yanyue formation under the yelling and urging of Xue Qiluo and several leaders, commanders, and commanders. shape. At the bottom of Yanyue, another huge phalanx was connected. More than 6,000 Xue Yantuo soldiers whose limbs were weak and whose physical strength had not yet recovered hid in the phalanx.

The whistling mountain wind rolled the particles of remnant snow and rolled quickly between the two armies. The sunlight in the deep winter is reflected by the snow particles in the air, and in an instant, it shows colorful colors. Red orange yellow green blue blue purple, fluttering, ups and downs.

Zhou Hu, who rode his horse to the front, was stunned for a moment by the colorful streamer that suddenly appeared in midair. Immediately, he raised the spear again and shouted loudly: "Stop the speed, hold the speed, don't be faster than me, and don't be slower than me."

"Suppress the speed, keep the formation, and be careful under the mount's feet!" The regiment leader and fire commander in the team quickly turned Zhou Hu's voice into a military order, and then implemented it to the entire cavalry team.

The mountain road is rugged, and there is still snow on the side of the road, which is not suitable for large-scale cavalry deployment. However, the dense cavalry formation that Wang Junlin specially studied in Gaotai City to study the tactics did not pursue speed. Therefore, although the combat effectiveness of this cavalry was restricted by the terrain, they still lined up neatly and had an astonishing momentum.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

The sound of horseshoes falling together is like thunder, and the echoes are continuous among the mountains.

The hillside under my feet began to tremble slightly, and the residual snow on the hillside began to tremble slightly. The dry grass, tree trunks, and rocks between the residual snow trembled, trembled, and undulated. After a short while, the sky, white clouds, and the seven-color streamer between the two armies also trembled quickly. In an instant, the earth shook and the mountains shook.

Running all night, tired and hungry, Xue Yantuo's soldiers were beaten pale by the deafening sound of horses' hooves. The courage they lost last night has not fully recovered, and the fear of the epidemic still threatens them. At this time, their state can no longer support a tough battle. Some of them were also infected with the epidemic, but it was not serious, and they had not yet started to have a fever.

"Those with shields in their hands, go forward five steps to set up a shield wall! Those with long spears in their hands, go forward three steps, squat down, and put the guns on top of the shields! Don't be afraid, they don't have many cavalry." When everyone panicked, Xue Qiluo's voice sounded again, calm and calm, which made all Xue Yantuo soldiers more or less calm after hearing this.

"Shield player, step forward five steps to set up a shield wall! Those with long spears, step forward three steps,"

"...Squat down and put the gun body on the shield..."

The soldiers around Xue Qiluo repeated his orders loudly.

Hundreds of Xue Yantuo warriors holding shields dragged forward a few steps, and erected their shields one after another, forming a bumpy shield wall between the two crescents of the Yanyue Formation. Hundreds of men with spears in their hands staggered behind the shieldman, squatting down and holding their guns, hoping to scare off the enemy's war horses with the densely packed spears. Every pair of haggard eyes was filled with helplessness and fear.

The Turkic warriors are good at riding and fighting, and fighting on foot is actually their shortcoming. It was just walking on the mountain road last night, and riding a horse in the dark night was almost suicide. In order to survive, most of Xue Yantuo's soldiers abandoned their horses.

Xue Qiluo himself was not optimistic about the effect of the combination of shield wall and gun forest, so he dispatched another unit to the center of Yanyue Formation: "The archers stepped forward to form a team, with one finger slanted upward, ready to— —Shoot!"

"Whoosh—" Hundreds of feathered arrows soared into the sky, like a large flock of crows pouncing on food, and rushed towards the cavalry of Gaotai City who were getting closer and closer.

"Puff...Puff..." The sound of arrows shooting into the flesh was endless, and a red mist filled the cavalry ranks. However, what surprised Xue Qiluo was that the envisioned situation of the enemy soldiers turning their backs on their backs did not happen. Only a handful of war horses broke away from the cavalry team with a mournful cry, and ran towards the snowy fields on both sides of the hillside. The rest of the Gaotai City cavalry actually shrunk the distance between each other even closer, with their shoulders touching their shoulders, their arms rubbing against their arms, and the special extended horizontal knife raised high above their heads, which was still as dense as a forest.

"Arrow up, arrow up, aim at the horse, aim at the horse as hard as you can!" A tribal leader figured out what the problem was, opened his throat, and roared to remind.

The cavalry in Gaotai City were all wearing armor. Although the quality of the armor could not be seen, judging from the results of the first round of feather arrow shooting on their side, the armor was far more sophisticated than they imagined. And the war horse looks like it has been carefully trained. As long as the owner on the back does not fall off the saddle, even if he is dying, the war horse will carry him and continue to follow Pao Ze next to him.
