Chapter 1189 1190 [Thousands of Miles of Happy Wind] (4)

The warm sunshine of early spring fills the world.

Two groups of Xiwu cavalry appeared from the north and west one after another, spreading across the vast land like a flood from a broken embankment, heading towards the Liang Army's formation south of Huwei Plain to encircle them.

The Lingzhou central defender was in a tight formation, with a spear and horse formation as a barrier on the outside. The shield formation was responsible for protection, and the archers were placed in the core area of ​​the formation. Facing the menacing Xiwu cavalry, the soldiers looked solemn, and inevitably felt nervous and worried. .

It goes without saying that the cavalry has high mobility, so the infantry cannot pull it away at all. However, this does not mean that the infantry is defenseless when facing the cavalry in the wild. As long as the heavy armored infantry forms a solid and complete formation before the cavalry appears. Most of the time, the cavalry can only look back at the formation, unless the heavy armored cavalry is used to break the formation, or it has an absolute advantage in strength.

Regarding the surprise battle in front of them, in the eyes of Xiao Qianshan and Zuo Xiao, there was a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

This support force is not heavily armored infantry, and its troops are at a disadvantage. It is originally an asymmetrical battle. More importantly, the horses of the Xiwu cavalry have undergone long-term targeted training and will not be afraid of charging into the formation. With the mentality, it is completely possible for the cavalry to conduct a semi-circular detour after completing a round of impact.

Xiao Ganshan's troops took the lead in sprinting across the vast plains to approach Liang Jun's front line. The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and they started to speed up when there were still about 200 feet left!

For those who have not experienced war in this era, it is difficult to imagine what it would be like to face the charge of tens of thousands of cavalry. If Pei Yue's habits in his previous life were used to describe it, he would probably be standing on a wide flat ground with a car on the opposite side. Rushing at a speed of sixty kilometers per hour, all he could rely on was the spear in his hand and his flesh and blood.

To be more specific, it is the roar of thousands of cars running towards me.

Dust was flying in the distance, and horses' hooves trampled on the ground, hitting the hearts of every Liang Army soldier like a heavy hammer. Many of them turned pale and couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

During the charge, a Xiwu cavalry seemed to hear a crisp sound coming from beneath him, like a horse's hoof stepping on an iron block.

Although he was a little strange, he didn't pay too much attention to it. He still tightened the reins and bravely moved forward with his legs between the horse's belly.

At this moment, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded from behind.

"boom!"

On Huweiyuan, countless fireworks bloom brilliantly!

The officers and soldiers of the Lingzhou Central Guard looked into the distance dumbfounded. They saw explosions coming from the cavalry formation in the north. Like an earth dragon turning over, the ground continued to explode. The violent shock wave caused the Xiwu cavalry to flip over. What was even more terrifying was the accompanying With the explosion, countless iron nail fragments shot out, causing horrific damage to the arrogant Xiwu cavalry.

Xiao Qianshan narrowly escaped the explosion, but the tragic scene in front of him made his eyes split.

The charge speed of our own cavalry was too fast, and they could not stop in time when the first explosion sounded. They could only continue to move forward with the blessing of inertia, resulting in more and more explosions and more and more casualties.

The two thousand vanguard cavalry were almost completely lost. The more serious problem was that these thunderous explosions made the mounts panic. When had these horses suffered such a fright? For a time, the entire formation was completely chaotic, and the cavalry was no longer able to do anything. Control the direction of the horse and be led by these frightened horses to rush in all directions.

The morale of the cavalry has also reached a low point. They originally thought that the tens of thousands of reinforcements who had defeated the Liang Kingdom were at hand, but now they have not even touched the enemy's skin. They themselves suffered heavy casualties in such a horrific explosion. What is even more devastating is that they did not even touch the enemy.

I don’t know what methods the other party used, and how many similar murderous intentions there are around.

This vast and flat Huweiyuan has become a cemetery full of death traps.

After all, for humans, the greatest fear comes from the unknown.

…

"It's unimaginable that the land mines Pei Yue mentioned could have such a terrifying effect."

In Liang Jun's formation, Gu Fan sighed with a complicated expression. He was a little excited about defeating the enemy's vanguard, but also a little uncontrollably confused, just like Ye Qi's expression when he saw the power of black gunpowder. He, as the Gu family

The one with the highest talent in martial arts among the four sons naturally has a very high vision and is extremely confident in his own cultivation. However, if he puts himself in his shoes, he does not think that his flesh and blood body can withstand the damage of such land mines.

Lin Qian on the side said: "The Duke said that too many land mines cannot be placed, otherwise they will pose a threat to our people in Daliang in the future. However, with the Xiwu cavalry helping to clear the mines, there will be no hidden dangers this time."

Explosions continued to sound in the distance to the north.

The formation of the Xiwu cavalry has been completely dispersed, and at this time they are still more than fifty feet away from Liang Jun's front line. These cavalry have obviously lost the courage to continue charging.

The distance of fifty feet is like a natural chasm. After all, in their view, every step forward may cause another explosion.

Gu Liang looked at the north calmly, turned his head and glanced at the cavalry in the west, and said to Gu Fan: "The war has just begun. You go to the rear to greet another Xiwu cavalry."

"Yes, father!" Gu Fan put aside his reverie, turned around with Lin Qian and rode towards the rear.

When Xiao Ganshan's troops were in a huge crisis, the 10,000 cavalry led by Zuo Feng were approaching the southwest corner of Huwei Plain, charging towards the flank of Liang Jun's formation. The explosion in the north caused a commotion in the cavalry formation, and the soldiers were all panicked.

He looked over there, unable to imagine how such a strange and terrifying thing could happen in this world.

At this moment, they are still about 300 feet away from the flank of Liang Jun's formation. Their overall speed is not very fast and they can definitely stop at the cliff.

Because Liang Jun could not only focus on one direction, there may also be mysterious arrangements on the east and west sides.

A captain shouted sharply: "General, there has been a change!"

Zuo Xiao's expression was solemn and his thoughts were spinning.

Now it seems that Gu Liang was well prepared for this surprise battle. Huweiyuan was not only the battlefield selected by the general, but also the death place arranged by Gu Liang in advance. Otherwise, Xiao Qianshan's tribe would not have suffered such a heavy blow, but the opponent would be safe and sound.

At present, the two sides have not joined the battle, and under the premise of full of uncertainty, he can lead his subordinates to retreat in time. However, in this way, the strategy of encircling and annihilating the reinforcements of the Liang Army will completely fail, and the Battle of Longbow is likely to fall into a stalemate.

.

But if we continue to charge forward and encounter the same fate as the cavalry from the north, we may not be able to protect ourselves by then.

How to choose?

Zuo Xiao took one look at the tragic situation in the north, glanced at the south side of Liang Jun's formation, and made up his mind almost instantly.

"Turn south and attack Liang Jun's rear formation!"

He was not sure if there was any danger in the three hundred feet ahead, but Liang Jun was coming from the south, so at least there would be no such scary and mysterious things on the road they walked.

The military order was issued quickly, and the ten thousand cavalry adjusted their direction as quickly as possible, drawing a semicircle like running water on the flanks of the battlefield, turning and attacking towards the rear of Liang Jun's formation. During the turning process, the Xiwu cavalry first let go

Slow down the speed, and then gradually increase the speed again, like a long bow that is constantly being filled, showing extremely strong quality and strength.

Gu Liang, who witnessed all these changes, also admitted that the Xiwu Iron Cavalry was indeed well-deserved, but this time they faced a weapon that was completely beyond this era.

When Zuo Xiao led his army to the south and was getting closer and closer to Liang Jun's rear formation, he suddenly felt uneasy after seeing the scene in front of him clearly.
