Da Wei Chun

Chapter 121 Breaking the Formation
When Li Shi regained his composure and saw not only the five-color edict flags gathered around Li Xian, but also the handsome flag, he was so frightened that his heart didn't dare to beat.

Li Chengzhi is also charging with his horse?
you don't want to die?
Not to mention any contingencies, but if Mr. Lang was rubbed off a little bit of skin, after the fourth brother and Li Feng came back, it would be easy to peel off a layer of his skin...

In just a split second, Li Shi was startled into a cold sweat, and he didn't care whether the formation behind his upper body would be broken by the enemy cavalry.

He let out a snarl: "Hurry up, hurry up..." At the same time, his legs clamped around the horse's belly, and the half of the rein in his hand was pulled down...

Li Chengzhi led the cavalry to attack, not because of a feverish brain or a whim.

One is to form an army hastily. He didn't even elect a cavalry brigade commander before the enemy came.Li Feng was not there, and Li Shi was powerless, so he had to direct in person.

The second is that sooner or later you will experience this day...

If you don't listen to Li Song, let alone Li Shixian, even Li Qi, who is the deputy general of the fourth rank, sometimes rushes into battle with the army...

Instead of waiting to encounter a strong enemy and rushing in a hurry, it is better to take advantage of the weak enemy and become proficient in advance.

Bandit soldiers are only semi-armored cavalry, without shields and bows, they are already weak and cannot be weaker.

Besides, there are nearly twenty personal guards and guardians by his side, as long as he is not so unlucky that he falls off the horse, there is basically no danger...

Li Shi could see it, so Li Liang naturally saw it too.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Shuai Qi who was running farther and farther, and cursed fiercely: Mr. Lang is simply crazy!
Then he turned his head and stared closely at the enemy cavalry who was urging his horse to circle to the left of the Chinese army, showing a sinister smile: "Good job..."

The long spear formation has an extremely obvious shortcoming: the spear is too long and cannot be turned when charging or attacking, so the flanks and rear are extremely weak.In the era when the Macedonian phalanx was invincible, except for the front army, the other three sides were equipped with a large number of cavalry protection.

But who makes Li Chengzhi more iron.

His pikemen are not only spearmen, but also equipped with full armor, and are equipped with swords and shields. They can completely abandon their guns when necessary.

Even according to the ratio of four to one, in a brigade of spearmen, there is a team of archers equipped with swords and shields.

This is equivalent to perfectly making up for this shortcoming, and can even be formed into a hollow formation when stationed in the formation to achieve all-round defense.

As long as there is need, infantry in any direction and in any position can turn their spears, and according to the strength of the enemy's attack, reinforcements can be dispatched from within the phalanx without affecting the external defense capability.

Therefore, Li Chengzhi was not afraid of the enemy's cavalry attacking the flanks of the infantry. He wished that Li Wenzhong would send out all the cavalry.

In the end, as he expected, Li Wenzhong actually sent out all the cavalry: half of them surrounded the left flank of the infantry, and half of them intercepted themselves.

Just as the right-wing cavalry of the rebellious soldiers came out of the formation, dozens of carriages followed closely behind, cutting straight between the two formations and lying in the middle.

Then Li Wenzhong took the initiative to send left-wing cavalry, intending to block Li Chengzhi's cavalry to the south, so that he could not return to defend the left wing.

But Li Wenzhong never dreamed that Li Chengzhi didn't plan to return to defense at all, but wanted to wipe out his cavalry...

As long as the thousand thieves are wiped out, the remaining pawns are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

What makes Li Chengzhi even more happy is that this shows that his sense of smell on the battlefield is not bad at all, at least he can guess the next move of the enemy commander based on the slightly abnormal behavior of the enemy army.

I dare not say it is anticipating the enemy's opportunity, but at least it can be one step ahead of the enemy...

Seeing the enemy cavalry rushing towards him, Li Chengzhi smiled sinisterly: It's only a fool who confronts you.

He lowered his body, leaned over the horse quickly, and shouted coldly again: "Diffraction!"

The most forwards of the cavalry team are Li Hou'er and his father... Li Chengzhi wanted to be the frontman, but no one dared to agree, and Li Shi was not around, so they were replaced by Li Cong and his son, who are the best in riding.

The father and son drew their bows and set their arrows, while knocking on the horse's neck, the instinctive direction of the horse.

Seeing that the white cavalry was avoiding the battle, the chaotic cavalry front was stunned for a moment, then pulled the reins, and rushed over obliquely again.

Li Chengzhi scratched his head a little: How can this cavalry general be as virtuous as Li Shi, he just knows how to rush?
The question is, can you be impulsive?
Li Cong and his son leaned on the horse again, let go of the bowstring, and shot the arrow at the horse that the enemy soldier was riding first.

Such a big target is less than 20 meters, and it is difficult to miss it. The two heavy arrows shot into the left belly of the horse, and two flowers of blood appeared.

The horse slammed into pain, let out a long hiss, and instinctively dodged to the right, allowing the knight's well-prepared spear to go through the air.

At the same time, the forwards of both sides passed by shoulder to shoulder, and the horizontal distance was less than two feet.

Li Chengzhi secretly said that it was dangerous: if you get closer, the enemy cavalry's spear blade will cut into Li Hou'er's neck.

Sure enough, no matter how passionate Peng Bai was watching from outside the formation, there was no excitement from visiting the enemy formation in person...

Fortunately, Li Chengzhi knew himself, now is not the time for him to kill the enemy, otherwise the cavalry behind him will be in chaos, and the plenum will rush to protect him...

One black and one white, two teams of cavalry passed by on the wrong horse, and arrows flew across.

There was only a flutter of puff puff chiffon, and from time to time one could see the enemy cavalry fall down one after another, and once one fell down, a large number of them would be tripped behind.

Then came the ear-piercing howling and neighing of horses.

Although the shot was a horse, once it fell, half of the ten riders would be stepped on by the rear rider or crushed by the horse.

The rebels don't have the white cavalry who are protected by steel armor, so how can they not scream when they are trampled on?
Li Shi, who was struggling to catch up to the end of the team, was almost exhausted, drawing his bow and shooting arrows, while watching the densely packed ground of enemy cavalry, he secretly clicked his tongue: the lethality caused by this wrong horse cavalry shooting to the enemy cavalry , why is it stronger than head-on hedging?
What's even more weird is: so far, it seems that none of our own cavalry has been lost?
Not to mention that the enemy cavalry didn't have many bows, even if they did, the white cavalry in full armor couldn't do much damage unless they were equipped with crossbows.

What's more, the enemy cavalry is not a fool. With so many casualties in the front army, how could the rear cavalry dare to charge against the white cavalry?
The enemy cavalry who were still alive, or hadn't been shot down, had only one thought in their minds: the farther away from the white cavalry, the better.

This caused the cavalry on both sides to be completely out of formation, and the cavalry formation on the left wing of the chaotic soldiers collapsed.

But it's hard to die, Li Wenzhong cleverly divided the battlefield into two, and the enemy cavalry had nowhere to escape, so they could only circle in circles in the southern half of the battlefield.

The former infantry saw Peng Bai's heartbeat, wishing he could jump up and take two shots...

Li Chengzhi led the cavalry to shoot around until there was nothing to shoot, and finally shot a round at the left-wing infantry of the rebels before urging the horse to turn.

When he walked around the formation again, there was a loud cheer from the formation: "Wan Sheng..."

Li Chengzhi was taken aback. Could it be that the right-wing cavalry of the rebels were wiped out by Li Liang?

How could it be so fast?

The distance between the two formations was only 1 meters, and I had just finished a round and turned around, and it took me only a minute to survive.
