Turbulent Times Chapter 312: Vicious command
"Huh--" "Huh--" "Huh--" Another hundred javelins followed Zhou Hu, and were thrown out by the cavalry behind Zhou Hu. Soldiers Xue Yantuo who had just formed the phalanx were caught off guard, screaming, and dozens of people were shot to death by javelins. The phalanx that had just taken shape suddenly burst into a huge gap about Zhang Xu wide.
"Huh—" Zhou Hu refused to accept it as soon as he saw it, and immediately after he gave an order, another hundred javelins were fired like lightning, falling towards Xue Yantuo's phalanx, with screams.
Because of maintaining an orderly formation, the advancing speed of the cavalry in Gaotai City was not very fast. However, it was precisely because they were not fast enough that they were able to throw two rounds of javelins before the horses came into contact with the spear array. In a hurry, Xue Yantuo's soldiers on the opposite side didn't know how to deal with it at all. They could only rely on their own experience to dodge, evade, and block. In the blink of an eye, the phalanx that had just taken shape fell apart again.
"Standing here is waiting to die, fight with them!" Seeing the Sui army on the opposite side put his right hand into the saddle for the third time, Xue Qiluo couldn't bear it anymore, roared angrily, and ordered to attack the cavalry first .
"I'm fighting with you!" "I'm fighting with you!" Scattered echoes sounded behind him. More than a hundred Xue Yantuo rushed up with long spears or machetes. Everyone stared at the war horse not far away, and everyone forced themselves not to look back.
They stepped over the corpses of their accomplices, stepped over the blood-stained hillside, and used the fastest possible speed to narrow the distance between the two armies. Ten steps, five steps, three steps, everyone thrust their arms hard, stabbing or slashing at the neck of the horse in front of them, stabbing the horse first...
The Sui army put too much emphasis on the strictness of the army formation, and did not give full play to the speed advantage of the cavalry at all. If they could stab the horses, they would probably be hit to death by the horses or killed by the opponent, but they also successfully blocked the opponent's cavalry.
"Ah——" The voices of more than a hundred heroic Xue Yantuo soldiers changed their tone because of nervousness, and their wide-open eyes caught every move of their opponents. They feel they're about to succeed, they see the fear in the steed's eyes. However, just before the point of their guns or scimitars was about to pierce the horse's neck, they seemed to see the contemptuous and ironic expressions on the faces of the soldiers of the Sui Army on the horseback.
Before the weapons in the hands of more than a hundred Xue Yantuo soldiers touched the opponent's horses, the horizontal knives in the hands of the cavalry on the horses, which were twice as long as ordinary sabers, swept neatly against their shoulders and cut them off. throats, and cut off their heads.
The cavalry tactic that Zhou Hu led just now is a new tactic that Wang Junlin spent more than half a year researching with his people. Naturally, it has been verified through exercises a long time ago, and the facts have proved that it is also very effective on the battlefield. good.
The disintegrated phalanx has no resistance in front of the cavalry of Gaotai City advancing like a tide. In just a few snaps of the fingers, more than a hundred Xue Yantuo soldiers who took the initiative to launch a counterattack against the cavalry were slaughtered. More than half of them turned and fled in a panic halfway, but were chased down by the cavalry from behind. In an instant, the corpse was trampled into **** of red ooze by the horse's hooves.
"Ah—" Xue Yantuo soldiers who lost their formation bonus and witnessed the tragic death of more than a hundred soldiers were all terrified. With a loud cry, he ran away at a speed twice as fast as before. Some of the more courageous routs, who had already started to stop and look back, found that the temporary phalanx was crushed by the opponent, and they screamed in fright, dropped their weapons, and rushed forward.
"Team, team, hold on to the mounts!" Xue Qiluo didn't show any interest in chasing and killing the routs, so he leaned against the edge of the mountain road and tightened the reins of his horses.
Nearly five hundred cavalrymen slowly gathered around him. With dizzying skillful movements, the team was rearranged into four columns. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhou Hu quickly scanned the enemy army, and then pointed his lance at the second half of the right wing of Yanyue Formation, "Rotate to the right, don't stick too tightly. Scatter their sheep!"
"Swirl right, sow their sheep!"
"Swirl right, sow their sheep!"
"Scatter the sheep..."
All the cavalry repeated loudly and tapped their stirrups lightly at the same time. The entire cavalry array turned over heavily like a python. Driving Xue Yantuo, who was running for his life in a panic, the routs rolled back towards the second half of the right wing of the Yanyue Formation.
When encountering Xue Yantuo who refused to continue running for his life, he waved a knife. For those fleeing frantically, they deliberately kept a distance of half a horse. The opponent has no chance to turn around and bite back, and dare not stop and ask for surrender.
Those Xue Yantuo who had lost their ability to think were crushed, how did they know that Zhou Hu was using them on purpose? Driven by the cavalry of Gaotai City, groups rolled back in the same direction. Soon, another group of troops that the commander had managed to gather with great difficulty was also rolled up unsteadily, and quickly melted away like snow in the scorching sun.
"Turn around and attack the enemy's back. The archers, the archers quickly return to the central army, and those who dare to attack the formation will be shot without distinction!" shouted.
The group of sword and shield soldiers who had previously met the cavalry in Gaotai City but was left between the two crescent moons by Zhou Hu, and the Xue Yantuo warrior with a long spear moved their legs frantically and rushed to the side of the cavalry. There are many of them, and they run no slower than war horses. They must contain the cavalry of Gaotai City before their right wing completely collapses, and create opportunities for others to swarm up.
However, before they could get back to their positions, a thousand infantrymen from Gaotai City behind the cavalry finally arrived. He raised the steel knife without hesitation, and chopped at the back of the heads of these Xue Yantuo soldiers.
"Ah, I fight with you——!"
All Xue Yantuo's sword and shield soldiers and spearmen had to turn around to save themselves, and fought for their lives with Gaotai City infantry who had twice as many people as their own. Xue Qiluo, who stood at the eye of the formation and watched the battle, was shocked, and quickly ordered the soldiers on the left wing of the Yanyue formation to change their formation and provide support for the right wing as soon as possible. At this moment, Zhou Hu took the opportunity to lead the cavalry to make a roundabout, and then pounced on the right wing of Yanyue Formation, which became the last straw that crushed the right wing.
The cavalry of Gaotai City, supported by a thousand infantrymen of their own, instantly became even more powerful. After defeating more and more Xue Yantuo soldiers gathered together, Xue Qiluo was forced to be in a hurry and had to order his own soldiers to stop him. Facing the flood of rout soldiers, Xue Qiluo's most elite soldiers had no way to do anything, they were quickly rushed to their feet, and began to retreat step by step.
"Fifty of you, take forty steps to the right, and shoot in three salvos!" Incomparable order.
