Horse on the World

Chapter 505 The Demeanor of a Veteran

Wei Xin is now more depressed than Li Shengzhi, leaning on a knife, standing in the middle of the battle, his goatee curled up and down, not for any other reason, but because of something that caused great casualties to his battalion of bears. The bull crossbow, scorpion cannon, and hundred-shot crossbow were all supported by Dingzhou not long ago to Zeng's army. Now, in the blink of an eye, they have become the Dingzhou army's own life-destroying talisman.

"Grandma's, grandma's!" Wei Xin stamped his feet and yelled at the sight of several crossbows flying towards him, knocking away the soldiers on his own position and revealing a big gap.

As early as an hour ago, his outer positions had been destroyed, the trenches had been filled, and the parapets had been torn down. The two sides had entered a hand-to-hand battle.

The classic two-layer circular formation that used to fight against the barbarian army with thousands of infantry under Dingyuan City is reproduced here again. The inner and outer layers of Dingzhou soldiers are like giant mills. army life.

The center of the double-layer circular formation is where Wei Xin's central army is located. A boxy arrow formation composed of archers keeps shooting out of the circular formation. There are dozens of sharp arrows stuck in the ground. If this shooting frequency is not for the special first-grade bow made in Dingzhou, even if you have a strong arm, after shooting more than a dozen arrows, your muscles will be numb. Every time the archers shot ten shots, they would rotate into one group and let the previous group rest for a while. Wei Xin couldn't help worrying that if the circle was broken, this group of archers would have to swing their swords into battle.

From time to time, shells from trebuchets or scorpion cannons fell on the phalanx, bringing up a cloud of blood. The archers who were heard would definitely not survive. The wounded were treated on the spot, and new archers were filled immediately.

After resisting for an hour, the thick circular array has been cut off a layer. Looking at Chen Guang, and then at the back of Kuang Daoyi, there is still silence. Wei Xin can't help but feel guilty. With the enemy troops rushing in, he secretly said, little Jiang Kui, my old life depends on you.

"Li Shengzhi!" he shouted.

In the camp, Li Shengzhi is like an ant on a hot pot. The knife is pulled out and inserted back, and then pulled out and inserted again. Watching his comrades save their lives, he can only watch. This feeling of cat scratching his heart is more painful than being stabbed. Suddenly, when he heard Wei Xin's shout, he jumped up and ran to Wei Xin in a few steps, "The end is here!"

Wei Xin squinted at him, "I wanted to wait for Jiang Kui to come and you would pick up a bargain, but it seems that you can't pick up this bargain, so you lead the team to charge once, remember, don't charge too deep. If you go deep into the enemy's line, you will die can’t come back.”

Li Shengzhi was overjoyed, "The last general remembers!" He hurriedly turned around and ran, returned to his team, and shouted: "Get on your horse." The 800 cavalry immediately got on their horses and took off the thorns hanging from the saddles. gun.

Li Shengzhi pointed his spear, "Charge!"

A gap was suddenly formed in the circular formation, and the pressure of Kuang Daoyi, who was besieging here, was relieved, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the enemy troops could no longer hold on, and immediately swarmed in along the gap of more than ten feet. They looked at the front like mourning concubines, and a group of cavalry was rushing fiercely.

"Kill!" Li Shengzhi came galloping like a demon god, knocking several enemies in front of him into the air, stabbing out the spears in his hand repeatedly, every time he retracted, it meant that a life was harvested away.

Eight hundred cavalry rushed out, and the circle behind them closed left and right, and with a bang, they were sealed tightly again.The archers in the formation extended their shots again. Li Shengzhi firmly remembered Wei Xin's order not to charge too deep. He rode his horse and led the cavalry along the circle tens of meters away, making a wild charge.Immediately suppressed Kuang Daoyi's attack momentum.After running around the circle for several miles, a gap opened in the circle behind him again, and the sound of the horn sounded. Li Shengzhi reluctantly glanced at the enemy soldiers around him, and very unwillingly, he shot a reckless soldier flying with his spear. Behind the enemy, the horse galloped back to the circle along the gap.

In this round of attack, the cavalry lost more than a hundred, but the number of enemies killed was unknown, because there were too many enemies.

Counting the time, more than 100 of the precious [-] cavalrymen died. Wei Xin was so distressed that he only had [-] cavalrymen in total. They were usually offered as treasures. They scouted, this group charge, suicide charge, just to relieve the pressure on the infantry, this kind of use made Wei Xin's lips tremble.

"Kuang Daoyi, dog day, I have never seen you work so hard when you were fighting against the northern bandits!"

Kuang Daoyi was indeed doing his best. He thought that the enemy on the opposite side would be difficult to bite, but he never thought it would be so difficult. After fighting for two hours, he only destroyed the enemy's outer positions. When he was the main force, this strange circular formation made him suffer a lot and suffered great casualties. It only thinned him a layer, but it still stood tall and motionless in front of him.
He has an absolute superior force, as long as he breaks through the enemy's formation and makes the enemy fight on their own, victory is within easy reach, but this seemingly simple step has made him fight for so long without seeing the light of day.

As time went by, Kwong Daoyi became more and more uneasy. At this time, he had already thought that the missing Whirlwind Battalion must have gone to rescue the Northern Army cavalry. If they eat up the Northern Army, they will return to the division. If he rushed here, he shuddered and returned to the camp. Looking at the piece of fat in front of him, he was extremely reluctant. Maybe if he tried harder again, he would reap fruitful results and swallow the camp whole. , if this result is achieved, it will be a major victory for the Liaozhou Army. Since the Dingzhou Army has become famous all over the world, no army has ever completely swallowed a reorganized Dingzhou Army and captured a piece of Dingzhou Army. As for the military flag, even if Li Qing's Bai Dengshan was defeated, more than a thousand people from his personal guard battalion broke out with the military flag.

He decided to attack again, if he still couldn't break through, he would withdraw his troops, return to the camp, and stick to it. No matter how delicious the fat in front of him was, he had to eat it with his life.

"Guardian Battalion, get on your horse and attack!" Kwong Daoyi raised his sword and got on his horse. He decided to take his only [-] cavalry for the last charge.Since the start of the war, he has kept this cavalry as a reserve team, but now, he decided to invest the strongest combat force under his command, and strive to succeed in one blow, and the enemy in front of him seemed to be at the end of his battle. Under the impact of his own cavalry, Should be hard to hold on to.

Kuang Daoyi took the lead, and the cavalry came roaring.

"Li Shengzhi!" Inside the formation, Wei Xin yelled hoarsely: "Go out, block them, stop them, don't let them directly attack the circular formation!" Wei Xin knew that at this moment, his circular formation was at its weakest point , Blocking the opponent's infantry is doing everything possible, and it will definitely not be able to block the powerful impact of the cavalry.

"Archers, shoot quickly, shoot all your arrows, then raise your saber, step forward, and replenish the circle!" Wei Xin yelled, put the helmet on his head with a bang, and pulled out the long saber that was well on the ground. Ready for one last fight.

Li Shengzhi led [-] cavalrymen and plunged into the opponent's cavalry formation. Countless cavalry passed by their sides and rushed towards the circle.

"His mother's!" Li Shengzhi was really in a hurry. His spear danced like a windmill. Just now, an arrow flew out of nowhere and shot his helmet without a trace, which shocked him. At this time, he, With disheveled hair and blood all over his body, he didn't know if it was the enemy's or his own. He had just stabbed the gun violently, and when he picked up a cavalry on the opposite side, the powerful impact bent the gun into an arc, making it unusable. Yes, cursed, threw away the spear in his hand, drew out the saber, dodged a knife that was coming from the side, stretched out his hand and grabbed the enemy cavalry who was close at hand, cut his throat with a swipe, and just threw away the body , a black shadow flickered in front of his eyes, and a long spear stabbed him head-on, he screamed in fright, an iron bridge, the whole body folded back from the waist, the sword stretched horizontally, his legs clamped the horse's belly, and the horse neighed With a sound, he leaped forward, and with the horsepower, the saber dragged across the side cut the enemy open from the waist, and his body bounced back suddenly. Just at that moment, the tip of the gun brushed past his nose , the smell of blood on it is clearly audible.When Li Shengzhi, who had just made a turn at the ghost gate, looked back, there were less than ten cavalry behind him, and the rest had been submerged in the sea of ​​enemy cavalry, and they had already been separated and fought on their own.

"Brothers, take care of yourself!" With a prayer in his heart, Li Shengzhi slashed down an enemy around him, grabbed the spear in his hand, and threw it violently, piercing the heart of a guy who was drawing a bow and arrow in the distance. Liang, at this time, whether he can survive or not depends on everyone's own luck.

Kuang Daoyi's last adventure allowed him to gain an advantage on the battlefield in an instant, but this advantage only lasted for less than a quarter of an hour, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes in the distance made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.At this time, he had indeed rushed into the circle, and the circle was broken. Wei Xin led his last reserve team, that is, the group of archers who had thrown away their bows and arrows, and was rushing into the circle with their knives in hand. When the enemy army was approaching, on the snow field in the distance, cavalrymen like dark clouds were rushing towards them. Looking at the cavalrymen rolling in, there might not be tens of thousands of them.

It was Jiang Kui who came. Jiang Kui only had more than 5000 cavalry, but he drove all the horses of the Northern Army gathered on the battlefield together, sandwiched among the cavalry, and rushed forward together. fierce, its scope is so large that there are indeed tens of thousands of cavalry.

Kuang Daoyi's heart turned cold. With so many cavalry, a whirlwind battalion has such a scale, that is to say, not only the whirlwind battalion, but also the Changsheng battalion. The righteousness of the battle has also disintegrated.

"Retreat!" He rode his horse back and fled.While fleeing, he scolded himself, why did he launch the last charge? If he had withdrawn his troops and returned to the camp at that time, even though he would not be able to eat fat, he would not be able to put himself on it.

Jiang Kui's cavalry rushed in like sea waves, crushing all obstacles in their way.In the circle, old Wei Xin sat down on the ground, "Grandma, it almost made my old bones go up and use a knife for my life!"

Kuang Daoyi's camp was broken and he couldn't go back, so he could only lead the team to flee to one side. If he could escape, those infantry would suffer. Two legs can run faster than four legs. There are routs everywhere. In fact, at this time and place, Kuang Daoyi still has the advantage in terms of military strength, but the so-called defeat is like a mountain, and the entire army has collapsed.
