Chapter 170 Zhao Erlu's Dizziness
Zhang Baochang shouted and rushed out of the Zhuangmen with a waist knife with one arm, but he happened to see that the officers of the Xingtian Army outside had dispersed the charge of the officers and cavalry. They started to step again and walked towards Zhuangzi, so they immediately stopped and shouted in surprise, "Xing Tianjun is powerful!"
More than 30 township soldiers who rushed out of Zhuangzi with him also stopped their footsteps one after another. In ecstasy, they followed Zhang Baochang and shouted, "Xing Tianjun is powerful..."
In the rapid sound of the marching drum, the more than 300 Xingtian army marched their legs neatly. While maintaining their formation, they strode towards Liu Jiabao. The officers and cavalry who suffered a loss once circled their phalanx and made two more efforts to try to prevent them from continuing to approach. Liu Jiabao, but in the face of the soldiers and horses of the Xingtian Army like a hedgehog, they are anxious but have no way to say anything. As long as they approach the team of the Xingtian Army, the firearms in the four corners will immediately fire at them collectively. Under two trials, in addition to leaving more than a dozen corpses, they can almost So I got nothing.
And when they saw someone in Zhuangzi rushing out to answer, they didn't dare to block directly between the Xingtian army and Liu Jiabao. They were afraid that there were a lot of birds in Liu Jiabao, just like this group of Xing Tianjun. In that case, wouldn't they look for bad luck in the middle?
Therefore, after suffering two losses, the cavalry of this team of officers and army did not dare to easily approach the Xing Tianjun's array. They could only shout and scold from the outside of the Xingtian Army's phalanx from afar and watched the group of thieves quickly march towards Liujiabao, but there was nothing they could do.
Ma Liancheng chased after him, but in his heart, he scolded that the leader of the team was always a fool. The 200 cavalry could not stop more than 300 thieves, and he was beaten by the thieves so much that he did not dare to approach. So he sent someone to ride to the group of cavalry, so that they would stop the group of thieves at all costs. Be sure not let this group. The thief fled into the village.
After listening to the cavalry, Mr. Qian secretly scolded Ma Liancheng for ignoring their life and death. Obviously, he saw that the thief's weapons were sharp, but he asked them to die. However, since Ma Liancheng had ordered, he had to obey the order, so he had to gather his soldiers again, bypassed to the right wing of the Xingtian army, and shouted. Then he clapped his horse and rushed to the team of Xing Tianjun.
However, this time they also learned to be smarter. Instead of directly attacking the central position of the team, they chose a corner of the team. Even if they plan to pay some price, they will disperse the thief soldiers on this corner. As long as they disperse their corner, they will have the opportunity to break through from here and the whole The formation of Xing Tianjun is chaotic. The most afraid of such a phalanx is chaos. As long as it is chaotic, it will be much easier to deal with.
Among the remaining more than 100 officers and cavalry, there are also dozens of experienced soldiers. Seeing that this is an opportunity to make contributions, and their cavalry is dealing with a marching force similar to their strength. If they can't beat the other side, they will really have no face. After listening to their leader's orders, this Dozens of old pawns led the way and shouted strangely. They began to wave their knives and guns. As soon as they bit their teeth, they began to follow the cavalry to speed up the horse, pressing their bodies as low as possible close to the horse's neck, and lowering the bullet surface of their bodies. In this way, it did make it difficult for Xing Tian's firemen to aim at them. .
As soon as he saw the officers and cavalry began to rush against them again, Zhao Erlu had to order the march to stop temporarily and make the phalanx stop to fight.
Although the two-horned fireman has been marching just now, he is not idle, but is still loading in the march. At this time, he is also ready to launch, and rows of birds are put down.
For a group of officers and soldiers lying on the horse's back, the fireman did not aim at the officers and soldiers on the horse's back, but coincidentally aimed at the horses.
After all, the diameter of Xing Tianjun's bird gun is very large, which is a few millimeters more than the ordinary bird gun, and the weight of the projectile has also increased a lot. At close range, a horse can be killed. When the officers and cavalry approached, the fire gun hands on the two corners immediately began to fire, and they rushed to the front. The war horses hissed together. Blood fog broke out on the horse's neck and chest of the horse. They fell to the ground one after another, and immediately disrupted the formation of the officers and cavalry again, forcing the cavalry behind to circle the horse to avoid the overturned war horse in front of them.
And this time, Mr. Qian of the cavalry was also cruel and continued to urge his soldiers to attack the formation of the Xingtian Army, rushing to about 20 steps of the Xingtian Army, desperately trying to disperse the corner of the Xingtian Army.
After looking at it, Zhao Er's donkey was also shocked and immediately ordered the fireman on the corner to withdraw into the phalanx, and at the same time, the long gunman sealed the gap.
It was said that it was too late. Although Zhao Er donkey ordered that the formation began to change, it still did not catch up with the speed of the officers, soldiers and cavalry. Suddenly, several horses crashed into the corner of the phalanx, and only a screams and arage were heard in the Xing Tianjun array. More than a dozen firearms in the corner of the team were knocked over by the war horses. On the ground, some people were even knocked out directly, and in an instant, they heard the sound of fractures from the bodies of many people. At this time, the formation of Xing Tianjun finally began to have wave-like chaos.
"Stabilize! Don't mess up! Go back to your position! Stop them for me!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Er's donkey immediately roared and pressed the soldiers in the team to stabilize the formation.
However, the trouble caused by the officers and cavalry to the Xingtian Army is limited to this. After rushing into the corner of the Xingtian Army, several desperate guys were also turned to the ground in an instant. The long guns stabbed on both sides did not give them a chance at all, so they stabbed them into a sieve.
However, this is not a big blow to Zhao Erlu. At this time, there was a huge defect in the corner of the original neat square matrix. The whole corner was chaotic, showing a collapse. It can no longer maintain the neat formation just now, and the fireman on this corner was killed and injured, and the battle at high speed. Although the horse was stabbed to death on the spot, it also affected the long gun array on both sides, making the phalanx suddenly in danger of disintegration.
In this case, Zhao Erlu was also a little panicked. Although he had fought a lot of battles with Xiao Tianjian in the past year or two. In such a situation, he still encountered it for the first time, so he roared the whole team with sweat and saw that the brigade officers were already very close to them, so he almost gave a concession. He regretted his lifelong order, which was to speed up the retreat towards Liujiabao while ordering the whole team.
The phalanx that is already in a semi-chaotic state and has to act at the same time is undoubtedly a very stupid decision. If Zhao Er donkey does not order the order to accelerate to Liu Jiabao, he will still have the opportunity to reassemble the chaotic phalanx, but that's it. A wrong order almost wiped out their whole army.
While receiving two orders, the drummer knocked on the marching drum again. The soldiers in this battle were a little at a loss. After all, they had not faced such a sinister situation. At this time, a large number of officers and soldiers had chased behind them, so these Xingtian army troops were a little panicked.
The more panicked, the worse it is. The more panicked, the more chaotic the formation is. People can no longer adjust each other's footsteps and accurately step on the drum beat, so the phalanx becomes more chaotic at this time.
As soon as he saw that Xing Tianjun's phalanx became more and more chaotic, the officer and cavalry found that the opportunity had come. After gathering his men, he caught up with him again.
At this time, the formation of Xing Tianjun was chaotic, and it was no longer possible to build a long gun array like a forest. As a result, it was rushed back by the officers and cavalry. The formation was completely chaotic. Originally, the officers of the Xingtian Army were calm. At this time, they could no longer calm down and were driven by this group of officers and soldiers. Run to Liu Jiabao.
Once the marching formation was disrupted, in the face of the pursuit of the officer cavalry, it became a one-sided cover-up. The officers and army cavalry, who had been aggrieved for a long time, jumped like bulls and waved their knives one by one, fell behind the collapsed Xing Tianjun, and began to kill wantonly.
Suddenly, a large number of Xingtian's army fell into a pool of blood. Zhao Erlu was also panicked at this time. At this time, he also understood that he had made a huge mistake just now. He should not have ordered to retreat before the formation was reorganized, which led to the collapse of the whole phalanx.
This reminds him of one thing that Xiao Tianjian has repeatedly said to them. From the beginning of the formation of Xing Tianjun, Xiao Tianjian has repeatedly stressed the importance of the battle array to these soldiers. No matter what case, the soldiers of Xing Tianjun must ensure the integrity of the battle array, and there must be no chaos, even if there is chaos. , the array must be restored as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how strong the soldiers are, they can only be a mob.
And it was precisely because of panic that he forgot that Xiao Tianjian had repeatedly explained to them, which led to the current disaster, so he immediately stopped in fear, grabbed the soldiers around him, and tried to reorganize the team, but once the soldiers were in chaos, and someone covered up behind. It has become an impossible task to reorganize the team.
So after Zhao Erli's efforts and failures several times, he was completely desperate, and he had to flee desperately to Liu Jiabao by the defeated soldiers.
At this time, Zhang Baochang, with more than 30 rural soldiers, stared at the scene in front of him. The brothers of Xing Tianjun fought well just now, so that these officers and cavalry dogs had no way to bite the hedgehog, but how did they collapse in an instant?
