Chapter 66 Step-by-Step vs. 1

More than 50 officers and cavalry roared their horses down the hillside and rushed straight to the Xingtian army. The officers and soldiers on the back of the horse shouted loudly one by one, lowered their bodies, and took off knives and guns from the saddle one after another. Several soldiers who could ride and shoot even took off their bows and pulled out their arrows, pretending to step on the front.

Seeing that the enemy's cavalry was so arrogant, Zhao Erlu, who came out of the array to fight, suddenly became nervous, because the cavalry was obviously rushing in the direction of his sentry, and he was more than 100 people facing the impact of more than 50 cavalry. Once the enemy rushed to the death, even if his sentinel would be tough. I'm afraid that the determination to fight against death can't stop this enemy cavalry.

Originally, he was equipped with more than 20 firemen, but after a fierce battle at noon, four or five firemen were killed. There were only 17 firemen and less than a dozen archers who really brought here. In the face of these officers and cavalry, he wanted to rely on them to stop these officers and cavalry. Obviously, there was some strength. It's a little weaker, but since he said something big, he can't turn around and run back now!

He knows the military discipline of Xing Tianjun. The last time he was just slacking, he was taken to raise a horse. This time, if he dares to escape from the front again, then with his understanding of Xiao Tianjian, Xiao Tianjian will never spare his life on the face of him who has been following Xiao Tianjian for the longest time, so even if he comes forward today No matter how many officers and cavalry there are, he has no choice but to survive.

"Arrange the team in front of the fireman! Archers line up on both sides! The long gunners are listed in three rows, and the knife hand is lined up behind the fireman!!" Zhao Erlu stood in the center of the team and shouted angrily.

Under the leadership of a long one, the seventeen fire gunners quickly squeezed the birds from behind the team to the front row, and the dozen archers also came out from left and right, pulled out three arrows from the quiver and inserted them into the ground in front of them.

"I heard it clearly. Hold on!" Zhao Er Lv shouted again. On the one hand, he was cheering for his men, and on the other hand, he was also cheering for himself. His loud voice made his soldiers hear clearly.

"Kill!" After adjusting the queue, the generals immediately shouted and killed with one voice, which was also the historical practice of Xing Tianjun, so as to strengthen his prestige, and the effect was quite good.

In fact, Zhao Er Lv, the sentry general, is also a sentry of the latest group. Except for more than a dozen captains and two teams drawn from each sentry generals who will be veterans, the rest are basically the first batch of soldiers selected from the new barracks. Their strength is the weakest among several sentries, but Zhao Er donkey is training. There is still a level of soldiers. After all, he was the first to start with Xiao Tianjian and is most familiar with Xiao Tianjian's way of training soldiers. Therefore, after his first-hand **, now the sentry will perform martial arts several times in each sentry, and it is not at the lowest.

Xing Tianjun repeatedly requires teamwork, so even if Xing Tianjun's generals have limited personal combat effectiveness, they have already adapted to array cooperation, and they have basically achieved the instinctive implementation of military discipline.

Although looking at the fierce posture of the team of officers and cavalry rushing down from the mountain, the sentry Zhao Er donkey's subordinates who lined up in front were more or less nervous in their hearts, no one dared to move in the array, and according to Zhao Er donkey's instructions, the column was calm to In front, everyone stared at the army cavalry rushing forward without blinking. They held the weapons in their hands with dark force in their hands, and everyone's body began to tighten.

It was a general named Situ Liang under He Fang who went to battle with this cavalry, which was also a quite experienced officer. Although the Xingtian army that caught up with him today also brought him a sense of shock, with many years of experience, he I feel that the other party is more like putting on airs, but it doesn't necessarily mean how powerful it is.

He Fang sent him down the mountain to assist Liu Wanqing in rushing. He agreed, ordered the cavalry who accompanied the army, and immediately turned over his horse and rushed down the hillside. When they rushed down the mountain, he also looked at the formation of Xing Tianjun and saw that the other party had only sent less than two associations (the first association of the Ming army is generally more than 100 people) The people came out and lined up in front of the battle, so they were a little angry.

He can understand if the whole army of the Xingtian Army is lined up to meet each other, but this Xingtian Army is so arrogant that only sends so few generals to stop their cavalry from stepping in the array, which obviously looks down on their officers and cavalry.

So he changed his mind when he went down the mountain and turned to focus on the small array of the Xing Tianjun in the left-wing array. In his opinion, although his 50 people may not be able to disperse the main array of the Xing Tianjun, there is still no problem in dispersing such a small team of more than 100 people.

So he immediately began to urge the horse to speed up, roared at the cavalry around him, and shouted at them, "Brothers, listen! Follow me to break up this group of thieves! Cut a few heads back and kill their prestige!"

Most of the cavalry he brought down are He Fang's own soldiers or the night in the army, so they can be regarded as the elite force in this army. These people can also be said to be real professional soldiers. With He Fang's support, they are usually treated with the best and the best quality of equipment. Otherwise, they It is impossible for Marco to ride. Usually, they don't have to think about other things at all, so they have the most time to practice, and they have always been relied on by He Fang. Therefore, when they saw that there were only more than 100 people in the other side's team of thieves, they all answered loudly, and immediately followed the general of Situ Liang's generals and began to accelerate towards this team of Xingtian. The army rushed.

In their eyes, the foot army will never have an advantage over the cavalry, not to mention that the opposite side is still a thief army. Since it is a thief army, how can it be better? At worst, it's just to put on a good look. Once they face the collective rush of their cavalry, it is estimated that as long as they get close to them, they will be so scared that they will mess up first. As long as the other party is in a mess, then the rest is the time for their performance. They rush into the enemy and rely on their impact. Can you cut it as you want, and kill it as you want?

So when they got off the mountain, they began to stare at the team of Zhao Erlu and rushed over. Three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred and one hundred steps... The distance was getting closer and closer. They could even see what the faces of the thieves on the opposite side looked like. As they accelerated, they slowly dispersed. Some formations, because they also know that there are many firearms in this bandit army. If the formation is concentrated, it will become the best shooting target of the opponent's firearms.

As an experienced cavalry, they know how to deal with such a battle, gradually disperse the formation, keep the distance between the horses between the horses, and lower their bodies, and are ready to avoid the opponent's arrows.

But when they got closer and closer to the thief army, they found that something seemed to be a little wrong. The thief army was not as they thought. When they approached, they began to be confused by themselves. Instead, they shouted "kill..." in unison, which made him They were slightly shocked when they rode on the horse so far away. Obviously, the other party was not confused because of fear as they wanted.

Then I'm afraid the next thing will not be good. This is the first thought that flashed in Situ Liang's mind. He involuntarily slowed down a little, fell in the center of the team, and began to squint at the opposite thief.

This thieves are obviously ready to attack them. A team of thieves carrying birds and arrows have lined up neatly in front of the team, and there are also a small number of archers lining up on the two wings of the not-wide team, inserting the arrows on the ground. As an old man who is used to fighting, he naturally knows what this means. Well, the opponent obviously did not intend to take the initiative to retreat because of their impact. In this way, I'm afraid things are not as simple as he just thought, so he turned his mind and gradually put away his contempt for the thief army.

Soon, under their acceleration, the war horse was close to about a hundred steps away from the thief army. Every cavalry riding on the horse began to be a little excited, but what made Situ Liang nervous was that until this time, the thief army opposite seemed to ignore their existence, and it was still There was no reaction, no sign of retreating, and no sign of preparation to fire a gun.

You should know that the tactics of cavalry like them often create a strong sense of pressure on the enemy. Generally speaking, if it is not a well-trained soldier and horse facing their impact, either they will mess up first, or they will start to mess up without waiting for them to enter the range. Let's shoot arrows indiscriminately.

In this way, the other party's bullets and arrows basically do not pose any threat to them, even if the bullets hit them, because the distance is too far away, there is nothing to say. With their armor, they can completely resist such a blow. As long as the other party fires, they will be given a chance. The loading speed of bird or fire, within a hundred steps, they have no time to reload for the second round of launch, so as the cavalry of the attacking side, they can directly step over them and rush into the enemy's array to kill the enemy wantonly.

But what made Situ Liang feel uneasy was that they had rushed into a hundred steps now, but the enemy did not respond at all. They still stood in front of them as neatly as Mount Tai, as if they had not seen them rushing over at all.

With the speed of their horses, the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening. In 80 steps, the thief army still did not respond. In 60 steps, the thief army was still in a state of indifference. As usual, there was no intention of chaos, so these cavalry began to gradually become uneasy, because for them who had been fighting all year round, They are beginning to realize what this situation means!

Under normal circumstances, there are only two possibilities for the enemy to behave like this. The first is to be completely scared and don't know how to react! The second is that the opponent is indeed a strong soldier who has been severely trained and fully knows what to do.

Obviously, the thief army in front of us does not belong to the category of the former. After approaching this distance, the officers and soldiers riding on horseback can clearly see the expression on the other party's face. The soldiers of the thief army are indifferent, as if they were stone and clay sculptures. It was tight, as if nothing could move them.
