Wu Gen stood on the high slope and looked at the tragic situation below with an expressionless face.
There are many traps, snagging ropes, iron thorns and the like under the Dazhi Hill. It was precisely because he was afraid that the cavalryman who came to shout would find this out that he asked Zhang Wuyang to take action in advance and shoot him and his horse to avoid exposing his plan.
The Baili family's cavalry were piled on top of each other, and the screams of the horses and the roars of the soldiers were mixed together. The heavy armor that he was usually proud of had now become the culprit of killing people. Many people were pinned down and unable to get up, and were trampled to death by the people and horses behind them.
"Wave the flag." Wu Gen said in a deep voice. Zhuo Ke behind him waved the flag and sent a message to Xue Xin and Ha Bao on both sides.
"Woooooooo." The passionate and loud charge horn is breathtaking. The cavalry on both sides began to start, accelerate, and accelerate again, roaring, horn sound, and iron hoofbeats. The three sounds intertwined together to form a huge roar.
The ground began to tremble, and then it shook. Soon, where the dust and smoke started flying, Ha Bao and Xue Xin rushed out with people respectively.
The timing and direction of the two attacks were slightly different. According to the pre-battle plan, Xue Xin charged first, scraped off the first layer of cavalry at the end of the team and then continued forward to make room for the following Ha Bao.
After the two attack once, they will turn back again, peeling off the Baili family members from the team layer by layer like a razor.
It's not that Wu Gen didn't want the two of them to cut each other into three pieces and annihilate them. But the terrain of this canyon is very large at the mouth, and it shrinks rapidly at the mouth. The cavalry rushed to the mouth of the valley. As soon as the front stopped, the people behind would pile up and become a mass.
Such a thick army is like a stubborn stone. How can it be moved? The only way is to scrape the flesh from its body bit by bit until the opponent can no longer support it. Therefore, Wu Gen gave this operation the name "Razor".
With the support of his own soldiers, Bailiye jumped up from the pit. After he regained his balance and looked back, his eyes widened. He saw that the two cavalrymen ambushing the other party had accelerated, one fast and one slow, one to the left and one to the right, like two fists, rushing towards the rear of his team.
Seeing the opponent's arrangement, Bailiye didn't know that the young man behind him was definitely not a fledgling who had just entered the battlefield. He arranged so many mechanisms based on the terrain here, estimated his own reaction, and chose tactics suitable for the moment.
According to the situation at this time, whether it is to continue to attack from above or to divide the troops to resist the opponents on both wings, there is no way to organize it for the time being. Because my formation is too chaotic, people are crowded together, horses are next to horses, and they can't move. How can I form a formation?
The surging cavalry was getting closer and bigger. Suddenly, a long red arrow roared out, screaming sharply, and pierced the Baili family's team.
"Swish, swish, swish", in an instant, arrows like locusts flew in, and the sky was filled with long arrows, like a thick dark cloud, falling down.
Many of these arrows were flying towards mounts without armor protection. It seemed that the leader was very experienced. Many of Baili's cavalry fell to the ground due to injuries to their mounts. The horses were in pain and ran around, but were blocked by the people and horses next to them. The team became a mess.
"Shield up." Bailiye shouted loudly. Although he was unable to counterattack the opponent for the time being, he could still protect himself. At this time, it would be extremely disadvantageous to shoot at each other with arrows. The opponent is charging with the momentum of the horse, and the arrows must be more lethal. How can you defeat the opponent if you are shooting at them from the same place.
Following his orders, these Baili family cavalry, led by each household, raised their rectangular shields one after another from the beginning to the end of the line, and erected two shield walls on their sides.
The arrows fell like hailstones, and the sound of being nailed to the iron shield was dense and dull. The shield wall was crumbling, and arrows shot in from the gaps in the shield wall from time to time. One after another, soldiers were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
In particular, these arrows were mixed with some red arrows, which were extremely lethal and could not be blocked by thick shields. Moreover, these arrows will explode when exhausted, causing new damage.
These arrows were of course shot by the Sky-shattering Bow, but due to Wu Gen's incompetence and the physical limitations of the users, they could only be equipped with a small number of people.
Bailiye was also protected by a shield in front of him. When he saw this, he shouted loudly, "Draw out your gun to prevent the enemy from stabbing you."
With a crash, long spears protruded from the shield wall, and the sharp tips of the spears pointed outward, waiting for the opponent to hit them.
However, immediately afterwards the second wave of gunfire arrived on the shield wall. After the cavalry on the opposite side shot the first round of arrows, they put away their bows and threw out the spears hanging on their horses.
The powerful and heavy spear pierced the shield, causing people to fall over and a large gap appeared in the shield wall at the end of the team.
Soon, the light of the scimitar appeared in the gap, like a sickle, constantly harvesting the lives of the cavalry who had lost the protection of their shields.
Xue Xin cut off the head of a cavalryman and took a moment to glance in the direction of Ha Bao. He was not eager to fight. He led the people behind him to draw a smooth arc and cut away from the tail of Baili's team.
Behind them, long arrows flew towards them. This was the Baili family's cavalry fighting back. Although the horse beneath him cannot catch up with the opponent, the arrow can. Without waiting for the leader's order, the experienced cavalrymen of the Baili Family fired arrows at the backs of these enemies.
Bits and pieces of people fell off their horses, but Xue Xin remained unmoved and continued to rush forward. Stopping at this time will only collide with Ha Bao's team, causing unnecessary accidental injuries.
After leaving the two arrows, Xue Xinfang and his men slowly turned around and faced the Baili family's cavalry again.
Ha Bao also led his men, firing arrows, throwing spears, and slashing like Xue Xin. However, since he had already charged a wave just now, this attack was relatively easy.
Bailiye calmly observed the situation on the battlefield. At this time, he finally let out a sigh of relief and withstood it. It would take some time for the opponent to return to attack again. Judging from the opponent's attack just now, these people have not experienced much fighting. Many people have deformed their movements due to nervousness, and some even knocked their own family members off their horses.
As long as you survive these two assaults and rely on experience and cooperation, you can fight out instead of staying here and being beaten passively.
At this time, Baili Ye secretly shouted in his heart, and with a wave of the flag, two hundred households were separated from each other, and they slowly started running towards both sides. As long as the team is separated and the formation is re-arranged, hedging is absolutely not afraid of the opponent.
However, what left Bailiye quite speechless was that the idea was good, but the execution was different. The cavalry separated very slowly, and it took a long time before dozens of them were scattered. It's like a pile of wet hemp paper stacked tightly together. It's not that easy to peel it off layer by layer.
Xue Xin saw the opponent's intention, and before Ha Bao's team was completely separated from the opponent, he led his men to charge over again. At this time, time is really life, and we must not allow the other party to calmly get into position.
Ha Bao also understood Xue Xin's intention at this time. He gritted his teeth and led the team to turn sharply and cut off a very steep route. Caught off guard, a dozen people behind him were thrown out by his own horse.
Wu Gen stood on a high slope, coldly watching the fighting below, and waved away a long arrow that shot in front of him. Xue Xin and Ha Bao's charge and response, so far, have not made any mistakes, and they have controlled the opportunity well and did not let themselves worry too much.
The Baili family didn't have time to charge up the slope, but spent their energy on Xue Xin and others who were passing between them. Only some cold arrows came.
Reaching out to take down the Sky-shattering Bow, Wu Gen slowly aimed at the shield wall a hundred steps away, where Baili Yeying was hiding. Looking at the movements of the opponent's cavalry, Wu Gen knew that although the military situation was a bit messy due to repeated changes, the command of this team was not chaotic.
If they are allowed to divide their troops into field battles, the pressure on Ha Bao and Xue Xin will increase a lot, and they will suffer casualties that are unacceptable to them.
The opponent must be dragged down the slope. Wu Gen secretly decided in his heart. He loosened his hand and a white arrow flew out. The long arrow tore through the air in front of them. Under the fierce friction, the turbulence rolled behind them, forming a round air umbrella, pointing directly at the crowd down the slope.
There was a loud thunderous noise, and the arrow flew so fast that it hit the shield, and people heard the sound of breaking through the air.
The arrow hit the shield wall and made a huge impact sound, which echoed in the wild like thunder.
The long arrow plowed through the shield wall and moved forward reluctantly. Wherever it passed, whether it was humans or horses, they all turned into a ball of blood mist and disappeared under the scorching heat.
Bailiye looked back at the sudden gap in his team, his face pale. What kind of strange arrow was this? It had such great power.
If the bodyguard hadn't pushed him just now, he would have been facing that weird arrow. In a rage, Bailiye grabbed his long boring machine and led his guards to run up the slope without even riding a horse.
Seeing Wu Gen firing arrows, Ling Yun's eight riders also drew their bows and released arrows. The red and white arrows roared and shot at the enemy troops who were trying their best to run upward.
At the same time, twenty soldiers behind him carried four large crossbows. This crossbow is fixed on the cart and requires four people to exert force at the same time to pull the bowstring.
Moreover, these crossbows were engraved with blood spirit talismans. They were made by Wu Gen for the purpose of attacking the city, but they were used here today. This was one of the reasons why Wu Gen dared to intercept the opponent with more than 20 men.
Just for these four crossbows, Qu Tong didn't know how much fine iron he spent on them, and he finally made four of them. He couldn't think of any more.
Firstly, these powerful crossbows are quite labor-intensive, and secondly, there are very few people who can draw the bows. Didn't you realize that these twenty or so people are all in the second realm? Even so, they could only fire three shots. If an ordinary person were to pull a crossbow, they would probably be sucked dry by one shot.
The four long crossbows opened with a creak, and long red arrows as thick as human legs appeared on the crossbows. The murderous aura overflowed, making the horses next to them frightened.
Whoosh, four long arrows flew out, and four clear passages appeared among the crowd down the slope. This time alone, half a hundred people on the other side died.
The string of the crossbow was pulled open again, and the long red arrow appeared again, like the eyes of a devil, greedily staring at the struggling cavalry down the slope.
Bailiye's face kept twitching, and his heart seemed to be bleeding. These people were the elites of the clan. They spent an unknown amount of money to create elite soldiers, but they fell on the spot before they could engage the enemy. How to explain this to my brother, how to resist the offensive of Mo Zhi's family and An Si's family.
"Death, evil thief." With a loud shout, Bailiye led the remaining people around him, threw down his heavy shield, and rushed towards the high slope with a shout.
