Chapter 125 The long gun drives the sheep forward
Xiao Tianjian's slow governor followed the defeated soldiers. The Xing Tianjun's team was like a black torrent, passing from the corpses left by the villagers all over the ground, but the formation still did not disperse, and still maintained a neat formation, so he drove the buttocks of the defeated villagers and drove them to the rear. The army has just formed a large array of officers and troops.
When he saw that the villagers were close to the officers and soldiers, Xiao Tianjian sneered and said, "It's time for him to send an order to Wang Chengping. Let him lead his cavalry and pass it from the left. Don't let the defeated Xiang Yong bypass the right side of the officers and soldiers, so as to rush into him. In our main array!
Then there will be a letter cannon to inform Shi Ran, and let him lead the brother of the scouting team to kill him from the right! As usual, you should also drive away the defeated soldiers and rush to their array! As long as this plan is done, the officers and soldiers will definitely be defeated! Solve them before dark! Speed up! Stick to the defeated soldiers and kill them!"
After the messenger got the order, he immediately plucked his horse and rushed out. At the same time, three red cannons were raised in the army, which was basically similar to the signal bombs of later generations, notifying Shi Ran, who was hiding behind the right-wing mound, and ordered them to launch.
And the sound of drums in the array also began to become dense. The Xing Tianjun, which was slowly pressing forward, was once again transformed into a marching army, and the villagers who were chasing the defeated in front of them took a big step and trampling on the drums.
Shi Ran led his horse and stood behind a mound more than a few miles away from the battlefield, quietly watching the development of the situation on the battlefield. Since the officers and soldiers came, he began to take back all his scouts, and was ordered to hide behind this big mound with these scouts to rest and wait for the next. Xiao Tianjian gave them the order.
The development of the war situation made Shi Ran very comfortable. The performance of the officers and soldiers and the poor organization of the villagers. In the face of Xing Tianjun, it was simply a joke to want to defeat Xing Tianjun, and Xiao Tianjian also led his troops to prove the terrible strength of Xing Tianjun, but in less than half an hour, he defeated 2,000 Xiang Yong. Water, roughly estimated, in this time alone, the number of villagers killed is not less than 400. Basically, it can be said that this group of villagers has been completely disabled. Next, there is no need to worry about these villagers.
At this time, he suddenly saw three red cannons suddenly rising from the Xingtian army, so he immediately understood that it was Xiao Tianjian who was informing him that he could do it.
So he grabbed the rein, turned over and jumped on the horse's back, pulled out the saber around his waist with one hand, and shouted at the more than a hundred scouts behind him: "Brothers! The general has an order for me to attack! Kill me!"
These scouts have worked hard these two days. They have to constantly explore the situation of the officers and soldiers, and they also have to go back and forth between the two armies to report the news. They have to fight with the officers and soldiers from time to time. In more than a day, they have lost more than 20 people, but the scouts have not been depressed because of these things at this time, and they are still They are energetic one by one, and the desire to fight is very strong.
When they heard Shi Ran's roar, the scouts cheered, jumped on the horse's back, pulled out their weapons, waved and followed Shi Ran's roar, rushed out from behind the hill, and quickly ran to the right wing of the defeated soldiers under the slope.
Although the team was only a hundred and ten people, it suddenly rushed out and shocked the officers and soldiers. Soon a messenger galloped to Shi Ran and passed on Xiao Tianjian's order to Shi Ran. Shi Ran raised his sword to the sky and followed him, Li Lingfeng and Si. Tu Liang and other subordinates shouted, "Brothers! Kill me!"
More than a hundred riders immediately waved their weapons and shouted "kill..." in unison, and then killed the right wing of the defeated army.
On the other side, Wang Chengping was ordered by Xiao Tianjian to lead his troops, so he laughed and shouted at his brothers, "Brothers, what I said!" The big head hasn't forgotten us. Come with me!" After shouting, he waved the long gun in his hand and immediately pulled his horse around the main array in front of him and rushed forward.
And the brothers behind him were stunned for a moment. When did Wang Chengping say this? But now they are finally put into battle. These impatient ex-horse thieves, who had been waiting for a long time, all roared in unison, and followed Wang Chengping and went out.
The appearance of these two cavalry was like Xing Tianjun's two arms. They waved left and right at the same time and hit the two wings of the defeated soldiers heavily.
Poor these villagers, how can two legs run over four legs! In a short time, he was chased behind by the two cavalry of the Xingtian Army. After the cavalry of the Xingtian Army chased them, they shot and cut them with knives, and instantly killed and injured a lot of villagers. Wang Chengping and Shi Ran both read his original intention from Xiao Tianjian's orders. After leading their troops to catch up with these villagers, they blocked the defeated soldiers. The two wings make it impossible for the defeated soldiers to disperse towards the two wings. As long as they find someone trying to escape from the crowd of the defeated soldiers and flee towards both sides, they will immediately chase them and kill them with their knives, just like a group of wolves expelling a group of frightened prey, holding this defeated soldiers, which is mainly composed of villagers and driving them towards one. Run in one direction.
And Xiang Yong is scared now. How can he care about the east, west, north and south? One by one, they bowed their heads and fled towards the rear like bereaved dogs, and they were the people of the Xingtian Army on their left, right and behind, and they could only escape in front of them, so these people almost desperately flocked towards the officers and soldiers.
And this scene also fell into the eyes of Niu Tai, who was watching the horse in the army. Niu Tai looked at the more than a thousand frightened villagers and brave soldiers, and bumped straight into the array he had just laid, and his face suddenly turned white.
He didn't expect that the thief head of the Xing Tianjun was so vicious that he would use such a tactic to drive the defeated soldiers on their side and come to his main array. For a moment, Niu Tai's hand was almost numb. His lips trembling a few times. He realized that the big thing was not good, so he immediately roared, "Let's shout to those people quickly. Villagers, let them immediately separate and bypass our array, and no one can rush to our array! Those who violate the order will be killed without mercy! Hurry up..."
The generals in the officer's array also saw this scene. They were all scared and confused. Everyone knew that in this case, if the brave soldiers of the countryside broke into their array, what would be the consequences? The thief army followed these soldiers, as long as these soldiers bumped into him. In the array, they will definitely disrupt their deployment, and their large array can be dispersed at once. Such a battle depends on the formation. Whoever can support the other party's attack and who can disrupt the other party's array, then whoever can be the final winner.
And once Xing Tianjun is successful, then you don't need to fight and know that they are over. Xiang Yong must have been disabled. If they are disrupted again, then everything will be finished.
So when they saw the villagers rushing towards them desperately, without Niu Tai's order, the soldiers and generals in the army shouted in unison: "Run quickly to both sides, disperse quickly, don't come over!" You're welcome to come here again! ......”
And the flag bearers in the army also waved their flags like crazy, and the order was to let these villagers spread out on both sides, bypassing the main array of officers and soldiers to hide behind the array.
And the villagers also heard the message conveyed to them by the officers and soldiers, but now behind their buttocks is the fierce Xing Tianjun's array, which is pushing towards them step by step. If they run slowly, their lives will be gone. They also want to disperse to both sides and bypass the army's array, but There were also thieves' cavalry on both sides blocking them. As long as they left the crowd a little, they would be immediately killed by the cavalry of these thieves. So it was not that they didn't want to, but they couldn't. They could only be expelled and hit the army like a group of headless flies.
Niu Tai saw that the defeated soldiers were getting closer and closer to his array, and also saw what the cavalry of the Xingtian Army on both sides wanted to do, so he immediately shouted, "Quickly tell Wang Youtian to lead his troops and divide them into two ways to disperse the cavalry of the thief army and let the defeated soldiers disperse!"
When Wang Youtian got the order, he did not dare to neglect it. He immediately divided his cavalry into two, shook the rein and urged the horse to kill the battle, and rushed to the cavalry of the Xingtian Army, who blocked the defeated soldiers with both wings.
Wang Chengping saw a group of officers and cavalry rushing towards them, and immediately roared with a wild smile on the horse, "Brothers, today is the time for us to show our ability to the big head to have a look. Don't be ashamed of me! Kill it!"
As soon as his voice fell, his men immediately gathered towards him. Like this horse war, when they were horse thieves in the north, they experienced a lot, but after arriving here, they had not fought so happily for a long time, and these old subordinates of Wang Chengping basically went through many years. After countless eliminations on the battlefield, the remaining group of elites can be said to be good at this. Even if their immediate skills are compared with the Mongols on the grassland, they are not inferior. In addition, they have been working together all year round and have long formed a strong tacit understanding. After listening to Wang Chengping's cry, they immediately They knew what they should do, so they urged the horse together, accelerated forward, and slowly gathered together, forming a very dense formation.
Although it is to fight immediately, there is also a lot of attention to it. It also requires the cavalry to cooperate with each other with a considerable tacit understanding. When facing the enemy, they also pay attention to the theory of a team.
So the more than 50 Wang Chengping's men soon gathered together and formed an arrow-like formation. With Wang Chengping as the arrow, his elites accompanied him on his left and right sides, slightly back, covering his flanks, and maintaining a distance between them that could only be crossed by a horse. After galloping at high speed, I almost felt that they were close to each other.
In this way, Wang Chengping led his fifty or so men and unexpectedly hit the officers and cavalry, which were three times theirs. As they gradually accelerated, the war horses gradually reached the fastest speed. Everyone leaned forward and their legs were tight. He clamped the saddle, raised his buttocks slightly, and kept his body still. One by one, he looked at the officers and soldiers opposite.
