Chapter 1027 1028 [Invincible]
The sun is scorching and thousands of horses are neighing.
On the vast plain, the Tibetan front guard backed a simple but solid camp, divided into three armies: left, center, and right, in orderly formation, facing the barbarian army slowly advancing to the north.
The three thousand cavalry of the left army were led by deputy commander Meng Longfu, the three thousand cavalry of the right army were led by deputy commander and vanguard general Chen Xianda, and Pei Yue personally led more than two thousand cavalry to guard the central army.
The two armies are about three miles apart. This distance is just right for the cavalry. It can maximize the speed of the charge without too much stamina of the mounts, and it can change direction in time for repeated attacks.
The Zangfeng Guards seemed to be ready to launch an offensive, but there was still no movement, which made Liejiaomi involuntarily fall into a hesitant mood.
Every day that the stalemate drags on, one's own momentum will drop, and it is very likely to cause the morale of the army to collapse. After all, there is still a cavalry hidden in the north attacking the homes of various tribes.
Thinking of this, Liejiaomi once again ordered the entire army's formation to move forward about a mile. By now, the distance between the two armies was less than two miles.
In the process of advancing, the barbarian army formation continued to compress towards the center, gradually turning from the long formation at the beginning into a balanced formation on all four sides. Although Liejiaomi has not experienced the tempering of large-scale battles, for today's situation
The battle has been rehearsed countless times, and the commander of the ambush army is also making plans for him, so there are no problems with the response so far.
Facing elite cavalry such as the Tibetan Front Guards, formations that are too loose will soon be broken through, and then divided and surrounded by the opponent. Using the super mobility of the cavalry to carry out a see-saw attack, the infantry can only form a compact and thick formation.
Stalemate and counterattack.
But this does not include the row of extremely burly barbarians standing at the front. They are called Shiluoli, which in barbarian language means the embodiment of loyalty and strength.
Pei Yue smiled softly, a sharp light appeared in his eyes, and a clear voice echoed around: "Hidden Front Guards, attack!"
"roar!"
The entire army uniformly and continuously uttered syllables with no clear meaning, just like the dragon's chant before the Kunpeng flapped its wings and soared for nine days.
If it were yesterday morning, the barbarian soldiers who were encouraged to scream by his words would definitely not be afraid of the rapidly approaching Liang Guo cavalry, but after the boiling blood calmed down, it would be difficult to work hard again. Especially yesterday
During that long night, many barbarians were thinking about their homes in the north and the women and children left behind in their tribes.
After hearing the coach's instructions, Jia Cheng lowered his head and said: "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the flag will not fall until the man dies."
Accompanied by simple but inspiring roars, more than 8,000 cavalrymen, led by their respective generals, continued to accelerate and charged towards the barbarian formation in the distance.
At this time, the Chinese army led by Pei Yue had completed several rounds of tough shots, and the more fragile ribs of the barbarian army's formation showed signs of loosening.
The young man's name is Jia Cheng. He was born in Dingning Prefecture, Lingzhou. He was originally a scholar with a bright future. Later, he defected to Pei Yue to avenge his family. He stayed with Pei Yue when he was in the Western Region.
A veteran of the battle.
Pei Yue took a deep breath and raised his left hand to make a signal to the rear. As the soldiers continued to pass on the command, more than two thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated and rushed over.
Liejiaomi took a deep breath and shouted with all his strength: "Kill!"
Meng Longfu did not hesitate to fight, and led the army forward, then bypassed the rear formation of the barbarians and passed by the right army led by Chen Xianda. The two sides began the second round of attack.
The barbarians did not just passively take the beating. In addition to using their large shields to resist the cavalry shots of the Tibetan front guards, and the outer soldiers chopping the limbs of the opponent's mounts without hesitation, the barbarians standing in the inner circle kept throwing short spears outwards. This short spear was based on
The trees in the mountains are only about four feet long, and their ends are cut extremely sharp. When thrown from the hands of those burly barbarians, they are also very lethal.
Since ancient times, cavalry has naturally had the advantage of mobility when facing infantry. However, if you want to overwhelm the infantry formation that has established a foothold, you must pay a heavy price. No cavalry general will make such a stupid decision.
What's more, the barbarians are generally tall. Although the spears in their hands are not Daliang standard spears, they can still pose a great threat to the Tibetan front guards.
At first, the sound of horse hooves was slightly chaotic, but after a few moments, the sounds of galloping horses gradually became unified, and then the rhythm was almost completely consistent, like the sound of grand and powerful drums, descending on this chilling and desolate plain.
The left and right armies turned at the same time and swept towards both sides of the barbarian formation. The Chinese army led by Pei Yue ignored the more than a thousand Chiroli warriors directly in front and headed towards the ribs of the barbarian formation in the northwest.
Rush away.
This tactic is already familiar to the Tibetan Front Guards. At the same time, there is another set of tactics to match, which is the extremely sharp scraping of fish scales.
"roar!"
Liexie Shuofeng faced him like a knife, but Pei Yue pursed his lips tightly and looked calm, with only a fierce murderous look in his eyes.
Lie Jiaomi hurriedly ordered the soldiers on both wings to turn to form, and then ushered in the first round of attacks from the Tibetan front guards.
Looking down from above, nearly ten thousand cavalrymen looked like a moving iron curtain from south to north.
The earth trembled.
When the distance was only fifty feet, the Tibetan front guards suddenly changed their formation.
He turned his head and glanced at the young man carrying the flag, and said calmly: "Carry it steadily."
"roar!"
The battle formed a fierce stalemate. In comparison, the losses of the barbarian army far exceeded that of the Tibetan front guards, but Liejiaomi, who was in charge, gradually calmed down.
It is difficult for those who have not witnessed it with their own eyes to imagine the majestic scene of the cavalry group charging, just like the hunting arrogance and the arrogant barbarian army at the moment. This extremely powerful impact is even more shocking than the first time they saw the terrifying sea beast in the vast sea.
The only thing they could use to resist the rain of arrows was a simple wooden shield.
After hearing the big leader's voice, there were still many people responding, but they were obviously not as murderous as yesterday.
The cavalry passed by like running water, and the spears rushed forward like a forest, beating the outer positions of the barbarians over and over again, hence the name "Scraping Fish Scales".
In an instant, he reached the front of the formation.
Jia Cheng is now a guerrilla in the Zangfengwei Central Army. Today, Pei Yue personally leads the army into battle. He took the initiative to ask Ying to shoulder the important task of carrying the flag.
Surround!
I saw Meng Longfu leading three thousand cavalry from the left army quickly passing by the flanks of the barbarian formation. During the charge, the formation gradually lengthened. The cavalry on the right drew their bows and arrows at the same time, and arrows rained down on the barbarian formation.
Nei. Although Liejiaomi and his tribe have grabbed a lot of supplies in the past two months, they don't have much armor. This determines that they cannot defend themselves against archers like regular infantry.
In front of the Zangfeng Guards in the south, Pei Yue calmly watched the movement of the barbarian army, but Gu Fan was not beside him, and he did not know where he had gone.
The barbarians on the outermost side were not attacked by sharp arrows, but what they had to face was the spears of the cavalry on the inside of the left army.
There seems to be little difference between spears and spears in terms of weapons. However, the Tibetan front guards charge forward while the barbarians stand still. There is a natural gap in the strength of the two sides.
Several barbarian soldiers roared and raised their spears. Pei Yue suddenly pulled the reins, and the precious horse that Pei Cheng gave him jumped up with its front hooves.
The steel sword was swung up like a rainbow piercing the sun.
Several spears were cut off by him, and the front hooves of his mount suddenly stepped on the chest of a barbarian soldier.
The soldiers behind him surged forward with him like a tide.
Open a gap with determination!
Chapter completed!
