At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 536

Xu Shiji built a pontoon bridge on the Jiaohe River, and set up twelve rows of barracks at both ends of the pontoon bridge. It was originally intended to prevent accidents, but now it came in handy. He received a notice from Lu Sheng, and now Knowing the specific situation, I dare not neglect, and immediately waited for the arrival of Yang Yichen and Zhang Xutuo.

These two are famous figures all over the world, and Zhang Xutuo is even more powerful. Xu Shiji is inevitably a little nervous, but more excited. If he had known that he would meet Zhang Xutuo, he should have prepared more thoroughly. Yes.

At this time, there was a cry of an eagle in the sky, and a pure white sea dongqing descended from the sky and landed firmly on the wooden stand next to the eagle flag.

Seeing this, Xu Shiji knew that Lu Shengkui had arrived with the Youzhou army, and immediately ordered: "Youyan iron cavalry, put on armor!"

With the help of the auxiliary soldiers, the five hundred Youyan iron cavalry put on their heavy iron armor and prepared to face the battle, and the Shenji squad also intensively adjusted all kinds of equipment to the state that they could be launched at any time.

After about half a stick of incense, I saw the dust billowing in the distance, approaching this side quickly, and soon, the Youzhou Army all over the mountains and plains appeared in sight, one by one running sweating, panting like a cow, and the formation was a bit scattered Well, some people even dragged their weapons and ran, their physical strength was obviously at their limit, that is, the Youzhou Army who had undergone rigorous training, if it was the Caotou Army who became a monk halfway, they would have collapsed and scattered.

Seeing this, Xu Shiji looked serious, and immediately shouted: "The Yang gate is closed, only the Yin gate is open, hurry up!"

By the way, Xu Shiji’s camp is also very particular. With the pontoon bridge on the Jiaohe River as the center point, there are twelve rows of camp fences on both sides of the bridgehead, and these fences are arranged in the shape of petals, with six gates opened, and the odd number is Yangmen. , the even number is the yin gate, the yin gate can only enter but not enter, and the yang gate can only exit but not enter.

This has two advantages. First, separating the entrance and exit passages can effectively prevent the two sides from blocking each other and causing a trampling tragedy; second, it can effectively block the enemy troops chasing after the tail.

Because each gate is surrounded by two protruding "petals", if the enemy wants to attack from the camp gate, the guards ambushing in the "petals" on both sides can attack from both sides, allowing the enemy to attack. The enemy army suffered a lot.

Originally, both the Yang Gate and the Yin Gate were open, but when Xu Shiji saw that the fleeing Youzhou Army was in chaos, he feared that these soldiers would rush into the Yang Gate in disorder and cause a big blockage, so he immediately ordered the Yang Gate to be closed. Only the vagina door was left to let the Youzhou army who were fleeing outside escape in.

Soon the first wave of Youzhou army poured into the camp from the three yin gates like a tide, crossed the river from the pontoon bridge, and arrived at the other half of the camp on the other side of the Jiao River to rest and adjust.

Standing on the tower, Xu Shiji's expression gradually became ugly, because the rear of the Youzhou Army had already been bitten by the enemy and could not get rid of it, and Lu Sheng's general flag was moving towards the rear.

In other words, Lu Sheng obviously didn't want to give up his brothers in the rear army and was personally leading the central army to rescue them. From Xu Shiji's current position, it was clear that Zhang Xutuo's two teams of shieldmen were rushing rapidly from the two wings.

Xu Shiji cried out inwardly. Sure enough, Zhang Xutuo's two teams of shieldmen quickly surrounded Lu Sheng's military flag. Once the two sides were closed, a tight shield wall was formed, and the shieldmen behind them rushed up like a tide. , thickening and thickening the shield wall continuously, encircling it heavily.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!" Groups of sword-shieldmen and long-gunners marched in neat steps, yelling and pressing towards three sides, dense spear points, cold-gleaming blades, black and black The shield is chilling.

The army formation under Zhang Xutuo's command is like a meat grinding machine that is slowly starting up. Once it is fully operational, the Youzhou army surrounded in the middle may be smashed to pieces.

At this time, Lu Sheng also sensed that something was wrong, and led the people to charge repeatedly, trying to break out of the formation, but was blocked by the thick shield wall, and even the cavalry could not run in the narrow space.

"It's over!" Lu Sheng couldn't help sweating, and Wu Daqing roared fiercely: "Cavalry, follow me!"

Hundreds of cavalry tried to follow Wu Daqing to launch an attack, but the horses were crowded together, unable to run, and unable to exert their power at all.

Wu Daqing stabbed frantically at the shield formation with a spear in his hand, but unfortunately it was useless, and he was almost chilled by the spear pierced from the shield formation.

At this time, Zhang Xutuo's army formation began to fully operate. I saw that the spearmen, sword shieldmen, archers, and hook soldiers cooperated efficiently and turned around to attack the besieged Youzhou army, constantly harvesting lives and killing them. It must be flesh and blood flying, and the head is rolling.

From Xu Shiji's point of view, Zhang Xutuo's army formation is like a terrifying monster, constantly devouring the besieged Youzhou army.

At this moment, Xu Shiji couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It's no wonder that the Bafeng Camp under Zhang Xutuo's command is famous all over the world, and it makes all the rebels frightened. It's really terrible!

Zhang Xutuo has been on the battlefield for many years, and he has long been familiar with infantry. The coordination and use of various weapons are extremely ingenious, which can only be described as seamless, and the Bayingfeng has been trained by him like arms and fingers. The pinnacle of infantry.

Eight wind camps, camp eight winds, the wind blows from all sides, and its disease is like the wind! ! !

Bafengying is not static, on the contrary, it is changing rapidly, like a huge vortex, constantly rotating forward, so more and more Youzhou troops are drawn into the formation, and entered The Youzhou army in the formation couldn't get out no matter what, and the final result could only be a broken corpse, just like the mess left behind by the tornado.

"Mr. Xu, quickly send cavalry to rescue them!" Gao Ming from the Shenji class couldn't help but reminded anxiously when he saw that Xu Shiji was still indifferent.

Xu Shiji seemed to ignore it, just staring at Bafengying, as if he was calculating something, but Bafengying didn't stop because of Xu Shiji's calculation, it was still running at a high speed, like a greedy raven The beast kept devouring the Youzhou army, and then threw out the broken limbs and arms. The scene was as terrifying as Shura's hell, which made people despair.

"Fire!" Gao Ming couldn't bear it anymore, seeing his brothers being strangled mercilessly, he was so angry that his heart was bleeding, and he immediately gave the order to release the crossbow.

clang clang...

Ten bed crossbows were released at the same time, and huge crossbow arrows whizzed out, slamming into the Bafeng Battalion, piercing through the shield wall on the spot, and killing more than a dozen people, including double kills with one arrow, but... That's all, and soon, more giant shield players spun to fill the gaps. Those crossbow arrows were like a few stones thrown on the water. Although there were large ripples at first, the water surface quickly recovered. calm.

At this time, Xu Shiji's eyes suddenly became sharper, and he shouted loudly: "Gao Shiheng, you lead a hundred cavalry to enter from the Li position, Gao Shixiong, you lead a hundred cavalry to enter from the Xun position, remember, don't love to fight after you enter." , and don’t care how his formation changes, Gao Shiheng fights from the Gen position, Gao Shixiong fights from the Zhen position, there must be no mistake!”

"Okay, what nonsense Bafengying, I want to teach Zhang Xutuo what it means to drop ten meetings with one force." Brother Gao Shiheng grinned grinningly and each led a hundred cavalry to rush out from Yangmen.

Once this armored cavalry galloped up, the mountains shook immediately, as if the world was turned pale by it.

Zhang Xutuo's eyes flashed, and he said coldly: "Good job, you are the one waiting."

Brothers Gao Shiheng and Gao Shixiong each led a hundred cavalry to attack rumblingly. According to what Xu Shiji said, the former entered from the left position, and the latter entered from the Xun position. Let the two cavalry rush in, and then close it with a swish.

The two iron cavalry were rampaging like armored vehicles, without any scruples, cutting melons and cutting vegetables wherever they passed, like breaking through bamboo!

"Haha, it's still up to our Youzhou iron cavalry. Brothers, if you want to survive, follow us." Gao Shixiong shouted loudly.

Lu Sheng was surprised and delighted when he saw this, and immediately led the crowd to charge behind Gao Shixiong's iron cavalry, but Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng probably got carried away with their complacency, and ignored Xu Shiji's orders, and joined forces to rush in the same direction , and it doesn't matter whether it's the shock position or the Gen position.

When Xu Shiji saw it, he couldn't help but gritted his teeth with hatred, these two idiots were going to do something bad.

Sure enough, the shape of the Eighth Battalion changed very quickly. The giant shields were put on layer by layer. The iron cavalry was able to advance forward at first, but it became more and more difficult and the speed became slower and slower. Once it stopped , the power of the iron cavalry will be weakened to the minimum.

Just like an armored vehicle that has lost its power, it is just a harder iron box, which is not a threat at all.

At this time, a large number of hook and sickle guns protruded from behind the shield wall, specifically hooking the cavalry's horse's feet.

Although the armored cavalry is armored, the horse's feet are the weak point of the cavalry. If the horse's feet are cut off by the sharp hook and sickle spear, the cavalry will be useless. Both the man and the horse will fall down like a pillar of gold and jade, and the knight will fall to all fours. Facing the sky, he couldn't get up at all, and could only be slaughtered by others.

Ruined!
Only then did Gao Shixiong and Gao Shiheng wake up to Master Xu's order, but a big mistake had already been made and it was irreparable, so they could only watch helplessly as the iron cavalry was hooked down one by one.

At the critical moment, three cavalrymen rushed out from Yangmen again, but this time they were all light cavalry, and there were not many of them. One had only a hundred cavalry. The strange thing was that each of these light cavalry carried a torches.

"Hey, what are the Youzhou Army going to do? Set fire?" Yang Yichen narrowed his eyes curiously, but he soon knew what these Youzhou Army Qingqi were going to do.

I saw the three light cavalry divided into left, middle and right and rushed towards Bafengying. Suddenly, everyone pulled out a thing like a bamboo tube from their waists, and lit the fuse with a torch.

Zhang Xutuo's complexion changed drastically, and Yang Yichen also reacted, and immediately shouted: "Cavalry attack!"

But it was too late, the three light cavalry of the Youzhou Army had already thrown all the firecrackers and thunder into the Eight Winds.

Although a single firecracker mine is not very powerful, it is quite terrifying to explode three hundred together, boom boom boom...

Explosions sounded one after another, puffs of white smoke rose up, countless rocks splashed, and the giant shield players of Bafeng Battalion screamed and fell to the ground. A large number of holes appeared in the originally impenetrable shield wall.

Seeing this, Lu Sheng immediately seized the opportunity to charge forward, and this time it was the iron cavalry's turn to follow behind them, but that's okay, after the iron cavalry is broken, the defensive effect is very good, so there is no need to worry about sharp arrows shot from behind their buttocks, or The long gun that came.

Seeing that the Youzhou army was about to break out, Zhang Xutuo hurriedly waved the command flag and ordered Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin and Cheng Yaojin, three tiger generals, to lead the cavalry to block it.
