"Hit the infantry bows and repeating crossbows behind the horse and spear formations. When the Beiyu people come, shoot them immediately."
Before retreating, Dongfang Jingzao arranged the troops to form a formation to stop them.
Of course, these 30,000 to 40,000 Beiyu cavalry can choose to detour to both sides to avoid forming formations and resisting horses, but this will slow down the retreat, allowing Wei Feng's white-armored cavalry to take advantage of the opportunity. Kill two more rounds.
Yuchi Ding, who was riding the horse, had his hands trembling and took off his helmet, leaving his head wet with sweat. It was clearly the beginning of spring, but the Shu people once again made him sweat.
Yuchi Ding turned his head and found that Zhu Zirong's bow cavalry was also being chased in all directions by Chao Yi's light cavalry. Although there were not many casualties, as Beiyu's elite, this time they were in a bit of a panic.
"damn it."
Yu Chiding turned around and looked at Zhang Qiu who was traveling with him.
"General Zhang, how are you now? You also know that if we avoid it in a roundabout way, the damn Xishu heavy cavalry behind us will come after us again."
"If you didn't take a roundabout way, would you, Yuchi, dare to break into the lame man's horse-rejecting formation?" Zhang Qiu asked back.
With just one sentence, Yu Chiding's face became silent.
"You and I each have a camp, and then we can take a detour."
The best troop formation this time should be to protect Zhu Zirong's bow cavalry, so that the 20,000 archers and cavalry can constantly maneuver and harass, completely holding back the lame man's reinforcements.
There is no problem with the plan. However, a heavy cavalry force came out from Xishu, with only three to four thousand people, but they were chased away like rabbits, like lost dogs.
"If we retreat, what will happen to the Yanzhou bow cavalry?"
"Don't worry, the speed of the bow cavalry should be enough to make a roundabout way."
Yuchi Ding turned his head tremblingly and looked behind him.
When he retreated, he didn't take a closer look. Now that he looked at it, the casualties of Beiyu Qingqi were already a bit horrific.
Twenty thousand light cavalry, at least several thousand men and horses, were charged and killed by Xishu's heavy cavalry, killing them so hard that they fell on their backs.
"Yu Chiding, leave quickly!"
Hearing this sentence, Yu Chiding raised his head and roared, separated from the Duanhou camp, and together with Zhang Qiu, quickly left in a roundabout way.
The Yanzhou archers who were being chased were even more unwilling to accept Ming Jin's signal to withdraw their troops.
Zhu Zirong, who was riding wildly on horseback, had an angry expression on his face, but he was helpless. By now, this incident of blocking reinforcements from Xishu has become a joke.
"Pursuit——"
Riding on horseback and running, Chao Yi raised his gun and shouted.
…
War on the front lines.
Under Xu Mu's formation, coupled with the close range shooting of Lian Nu, for a while, the Beiyu people did not get too much advantage.
But continuing like this is not the answer after all.
Xu Mu turned his head and looked in the direction of Dawan Pass.
"My lord, the people of Beiyu threw fire oil cans!"
"Separate another reserve battalion and put out the fire with curtains." Xu Mu lowered his gaze. At this point, the war seems to be getting more intense.
Neither Xishu nor Beiyu could see their own victory from afar.
In such a stalemate fight, perhaps only one flaw is needed to cause one of the parties to be completely defeated.
"Lord, good news, good news!" At this time, someone finally came.
"We were at the rear earlier and saw that the little military advisor lit the beacon signal and was about to arrive."
The great formation of Xishu was completely surrounded. The scouts could not enter or leave, and could only send messages by beacon fire.
Hearing this information, Xu Mu's face was overjoyed for a moment.
"Send the order, continue to hold the position firmly. Dongfang Jing, the military advisor of Xishu, has already led troops to rush for reinforcements!"
…
In the Beiyu camp, Chang Sheng, who also received the information, did not look good.
The 40,000 cavalry sent out could not stop the lame men's reinforcements, and they quickly retreated. The information that came out said that even seven to eight thousand people were killed and injured.
Regardless of the short period of time, it can be seen how severe the defeat was. According to his opinion, although Zhu Zirong, Yuchi Ding, and Zhang Qiu were not as capable as the famous generals in the world, they were still capable people, and it would not be a problem to hold back the lame man.
Unfortunately--
"West Shu White Armor Cavalry." Chang Sheng frowned.
"I told you before, he is well versed in the art of riding." A figure suddenly came over with a sigh in his voice.
Chang Sheng stood up quickly and saluted with his hands in hand.
"Chang Sheng, no wonder you. That Xishu heavy cavalry has been hidden and tucked away. It hasn't been used for a long time. This guy likes to hide his clumsiness the most." Chang Shiro sat down helplessly.
Chang Sheng's face was silent, "Let's not talk about the battle in the Xishu formation for now. Once the Xishu heavy cavalry arrives, it may become difficult. Although there are only three or four thousand cavalry, now, I don't know what kind of formation should be used to block it. .”
"In a hurry, it is impossible to lay down a horse trap. I even think that even resisting the horses and iron caltrops will have little effect. Moreover, the lame man is extremely smart. As long as there is a chance of victory with heavy cavalry, he will immediately send out the rear army."
"Chang Sheng, is there really no way to defeat the heavy cavalry?"
Chang Sheng lowered his head and thought about it seriously.
"It's just like an iron can. Swords, guns and arrows do very little damage. The only way is to break the horse's legs, but you have to set up a formation in advance. But with Dongfang Jing around, the Shu people may not fall into a trap."
After a long time, Chang Sheng raised his head, as if he had thought of something, and his expression felt a little relieved.
"Brother, do you remember the can-knocking game you and I played when we were young?"
“There is a rat in the jar, so hit the jar with a stone.”
"Indeed, if this happens, the rat hiding in the jar will be shocked to death soon."
Chang Sheng stood up, asked someone to fetch a robe and armor, and spread the robe and armor on the ground.
"Brother, please see, this Beiyu standard robe is used as heavy armor. According to my opinion, if you want to defeat the heavy cavalry of Xishu and suppress its power, there should be the best way. As the clan brother said, hit the pot with a stone."
"What's the explanation?" Chang Shiro rubbed his forehead and found that his clan brother was becoming more and more extraordinary. He just felt that he couldn't keep up.
Chang Sheng picked up a stone and knocked it heavily on his robe and armor. Suddenly, the mud and dust on the robe and armor kept being splashed away.
"Just like this, hit the armor with a hammer. Although a blunt hammer cannot break the armor, it will be like hitting a jar with a stone when you were young. The rat in the jar will be shocked to death."
Chang Sheng retracted his movements and raised his face, looking extremely serious.
"I, Beiyu, only need five thousand hammer cavalry to defeat Xishu's white armor cavalry!"
"Chang Sheng... Damn you, you are getting more and more stupid!" Chang Shiro was also shocked, looking at Chang Sheng's expression, full of surprise.
"There is a road in the mountain of books, and diligence is the path. I am always victorious. I am no better than a poisonous owl and a lame man. I can only exhaust my methods and think of ways to defeat the enemy."
There is no arrogance, but more humility. Just like his temperament, he likes to read, but due to his teacher Zhongde, the situation in Beiyu, and the ownership of the whole world, he has to step out of the bookstore.
Chang Sheng bowed to his elder brother Chang Silang again.
"I am willing to use my candlelight body to help my clan brother capture the rivers and mountains of thirty states."
