Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh: battle to the death
Chapter 787: The Death Battle
The whistle cavalry sent by Lu Dabing to inquire finally didn't have time to inform Tian Xinyu. As soon as Tian Xinyu's troops arrived in Kangzhuang, they collided with Lu Fengchun's vanguard cavalry. Looking at the rushing cavalry, not only Tian Xinyu's face changed, but all the soldiers of Tian's troops changed.
Infants and cavalry fighting, they have to line up in close formations and rely on equipment to withstand the opponent's impact. But now, the entire team of Tian Xinyu's troops has been pulled into a long dragon, and the baggage truck dragging the equipment is still dragged behind.
The form is extremely critical. If we fight head-on with the opponent's cavalry in this way, then Tabu will inevitably not avoid the fate of the entire army being destroyed.
"Array, array!" Tian Xinyu shouted loudly.
On the battlefield, sometimes something that happens by chance will change the entire battle situation. If the Tian tribe is still slower, it will only appear in this place after the cavalry has passed. The problem is that they come quickly, while the Lu tribe's actions are a little slow. Lu Fengchun firmly believes that his direct troops can withstand the attack of Lu Dabing and want to give Lu Dabing a head-on blow at the last moment. The two sides' thoughts, one left and one right, caused a head-on collision.
"This won't work!" Tian Xu grabbed Tian Xinyu, who was red with eyes in a hurry, "Xinyu, I will lead a member to block it and buy time for the main force. You will quickly arrange the array and block Lu Fengchun here, and strive for Lu Dabing to defeat Lu Zhaoting and come to rescue."
"No, Uncle Xu, I'll stop it." Tian Xinyu shouted. He knew that whoever stops it would send him to death.
Tian Xu smiled, "Xinyu, what nonsense are you talking about? You are the commander of the first army, how can you leave your post easily? Your responsibilities are here, and I am old, even if I die here in battle, there is nothing to say. You are still young. Remember, stick to it until Lu Dabing comes."
Tian Xu yelled with horse heads, "First wing, follow me!"
Seeing Tian Xu rushing forward with more than a thousand soldiers shouting, Tian Xinyu's eyes suddenly blurred, "Array."
The soldiers who had arrived quickly lined up in neat formations, and the baggage vehicles behind rushed towards the place as the soldiers ran desperately.
Seeing the Dingzhou soldiers suddenly appearing in front of him, Lu Fengchun almost thought that he was dazed. How could a large number of Dingzhou infantry appear here? Lu Dabing was in his hands with the pure Red Cavalry, and he is now fighting fiercely with the troops in Zhaoting in the Xiaoerhe area. Why are there Dingzhou troops here? In an instant, countless thoughts turned to Lu Fengchun's mind.
No matter where this Dingzhou soldier came from, one thing is certain. This Dingzhou soldier definitely wanted to catch himself off guard when he was fighting with Lu Dabing. The two sides could collide here. No matter what the reason was, it was a blessing in disgrace. But now my biggest problem is to defeat this Dingzhou army in the shortest time and enter the main battlefield. Otherwise, the cavalry on my son might be able to resist the opponent for half a day or even a day, but it would definitely not be the opponent. The gap in combat strength between the cavalry of the two sides has been clearly revealed in the mutual clearance of the provocateurs these days.
The opponent had just arrived and had not completed the final array yet. There was no better time for the cavalry than this.
"Roar up and defeat them!" Lu Fengchun roared and ordered.
Under the leadership of Tian Xu, the infantrymen on the first wing tried their best to adjust their formation while running. The square formation of 300 people was formed during the running forward. Seeing that the troops coming to intercept the opponent could complete such a difficult formation integration during high-speed running, Lu Fengchun was even more shocked. This was definitely an elite force. If their main force was allowed to assemble and form a battle formation, he would completely break it. I don’t know when it would take him to spend.
Looking at the surrounding terrain, my brows were frowning deeper, and the terrain here was not particularly suitable for cavalry combat. The terrain was narrow. Except for the ongoing avenue, the roads on both sides were rugged and cavalry could not rush up. If they forced through, they would probably not need to fight against each other, and the horse's legs would be broken first. And the only road was now firmly blocked by a square formation of three hundred people on the opponent.
"The brave ones win when they meet on a narrow road!" Lu Fengchun shouted, "Break them down!" Dozens of cavalrymen waved their swords, raised their horse speed to the highest, and crashed head-on to the Dingzhou infantry standing upright on the road like a mountain.
With a sharp whistle, the soldiers in the first and second rows raised the tail of the spear to the ground at the same time, held the spear tightly with both hands, and stumbled with their legs in a lunge, staring at the cavalry running at high speed. Everyone knew that at the moment when the cavalry rushed up, there were almost no survivors in the first two rows of soldiers without the cover of the chariot, but they still stood firm. Their task was to slow down the opponent's speed and fight for the comrades behind to kill the enemy.
With a loud bang, the running horse ran into the long spear tip that stretched out without any choice. The knights on the horse were thrown high and fell heavily to the ground. The spears protruding from the front two rows were also broken. Under the violent impact, the soldiers holding the spears either broke their tendons or flew high, and people fell from time to time in the air.
The cavalry behind were still rushing in, but the speed of the dead horses and dead bodies in front of them inevitably dropped. The soldiers in the first formation roared, crossed the corpse of their comrades' bodies, rushed forward and got into the horse.
The road that was originally quite wide was crowded with war horses and soldiers. Although the speed of the impact was successfully curbed, the soldiers who fought immediately still had a condescending advantage. In the fight between the two sides, Tian Xu stood in the second row of queues, stared at the fewer and fewer first row soldiers, suddenly thrust his saber in his hand, shouting: "To the country, today, the second array, charge with me, the third array, block on the spot, Dingzhou army, ten thousand victory!"
Tian Xu rushed up.
Behind him, the three hundred soldiers of the second formation shouted and followed Tian Xu. The rugged roads on both sides of the road were natural obstacles to the cavalry, but there was no restraint on the infantry. The three hundred soldiers of the second formation crossed the battlefield ahead and pierced deeply into the center of the cavalry from both bars.
Tian Xu rushed into the opponent's cavalry, raised his sabers high and fell heavily, chopping the head of an enemy cavalry in front of him in half with his helmet, retracted the sword, and swept it across. The back of the knife swept out a cavalry on the side and landed on the ground. After just a few screams, he was trampled by countless cavalry hooves.
This is an asymmetric battle. Dingzhou infantry used their flesh and blood to fight against the opponent's cavalry. If they could not cut people, they would stab the horse's belly, chop the horse's legs, or jump, and fall down and roll on the ground with the horse's cavalry, until they were trampled by countless horse hooves or human feet.
A Dingzhou soldier fell down. When he lost one arm, he fell down. The knife in his other hand cut off the horse's hooves. The war horse whined and fell to the ground. The cavalry fell down immediately. He saw the smug smile on the other person's face. Without waiting for him to react, a long spear had already hit his chest and abdomen at the first moment.
Another Dingzhou soldier fell down. When his opponent was about to pull back his spear, he threw away his sword when he was about to pull back his spear. He grabbed the spear with both hands. When the opponent tried hard to regain his force, a long sword slashed violently, chopping down his arms. The howling cavalry did not suffer much pain, because another person stabbed him from the crowd and stabbed him in from his waist and eyes, and blood spurted out.
The same scene of life-for-life-for-life-for-life-for-life-for-life-for-life-death-death-death-biting scenes can be seen everywhere. Two infantrymen in a three hundred-man array stuck the long-distance cavalry team on this road.
Lu Fengchun's hands were trembling. This was his first battle with Dingzhou infantry. Although he had had a confrontation with Dingzhou soldiers before, he was all fighting with the cavalry of a brigade, and the outcome was very fast. This was the first time he had seen a battle with his flesh and blood to resist the cavalry with his inferior forces.
Now he finally understood why the Dingzhou soldiers could defeat the barbarian cavalry with unparalleled iron hoofs and destroy the country in just a few years. What courage does it take!
Lu Fengchun never wanted such a scene to fall on him, but now he has no choice but to rush over or wait for him to fail.
Tian Xu's body was covered in blood, and he could no longer tell whether it was his or his opponent's. His helmet was gone. It was picked up by an enemy general who made the spear. As for that guy, he had already reported to the Hall of Yama at this time. He was stabbed under the scepter and several holes were made on his back. But the price of his opponent hurt him was to lose his life.
Going upstream, Tian Xu actually pushed forward step by step with difficulty as the opponent's horse came forward. He shouted and seemed to have forgotten the pain and death, and there was nothing else in his eyes except the enemy.
After the sound, the sharp whistle sounded again, and the third row of 300 stairs began to advance. Hearing the whistle, Tian Xu felt ache in his heart, knowing that the first and second two arrays were basically left at this time, but they had already won the time for a incense stick so far.
With one sword, Tian Xu looked back and looked back. In the distance, a semicircular moon formation had begun to take shape. One by one, a series of chariots were closing, and scorpion cannons were being set up. More and more soldiers rushed to form a formation behind the chariots. On a chariot in the middle, Tian Xinyu, holding a spear in the hand, stood up proudly. Behind him, a bright red Dingzhou military flag was fluttering in the cold wind, clamoring.
"This kid has finally grown up!" Tian Xu thought with relief.
"Attack, attack!" Lu Fengchun shouted frantically. Seeing that the large number of enemy troops in the distance had taken shape, he couldn't help but feel anxious. He lifted the war horse and rushed up with a long sword in his hand.
Another incense stick passed, and Tian Xu had no more comrades around him, and there were layers of enemy cavalry around him. The front had already begun to rush forward and rushed towards Tian Xinyu's battle formation. Tian Xu was shot in the vital part of his chest and abdomen. Blood was flowing out, and his body was shaking, his eyes were blurred. He tried hard to look back at his comrades behind him.
"Go to die!" Lu Fengchun rushed up with a roar, and with a knife, Tian Xudou's big head suddenly flew high.
"Uncle Tian!" In the distance, Tian Xinyu roared at the top of his lungs, and Tian Xu's head was flying with a smile on his face.
"Dingzhou Army, fight!"
"Dingzhou Army, thousands of victories!"
Tian Xinyu pulled up the battle flag and waved it vigorously.
