Chapter 182 Against
The road is flat and the line of sight is wide.

The cavalry of the Wei army stood fiercely in the flying dust and stopped, looking at the infantry camp lined up with shields in the distance, as if they were estimating the number of opponents, looking at the surrounding terrain, and planning for the upcoming war.

Xie Yuan turned his attention to his own side, and saw the soldiers in the formation down the hillside waiting for each other, and the atmosphere was tense.

She also set her sights on the group of Wei cavalry in the distance. From that look, there were at least more than 2000 of them.

As for her subordinates, because it was a reserve battalion, the number was not full, four guards, one guard 300 people, and only about 200 people.

The cavalry naturally has an advantage over the infantry. They move faster and are much higher than the infantry on horseback. When the two sides face each other, the cavalry is condescending, and they have an advantage in terms of vision and the effort required to kill.

Therefore, if the infantry wants to compete with the cavalry, they can only fight against it with a tight formation.

If the infantry were scattered and fled, they would die faster.

A man's two legs cannot run a horse, and it is destined to be a unilateral massacre being chased.

Xie Yuan's face was serious.

She knew that at this time, how to let everyone overcome the fear of facing a strong enemy was more important than anything else.

Don't let the soldiers turn around and run away because of fear. At that time, the soldiers will really be defeated, and the gods will not be able to save them.

Xie Yuan, dressed in military armor, stepped aside and got on his horse.Then he said to a messenger:

"Go and report the military situation here to the general... just report the truth, don't ask for help, don't disrupt the general's deployment of troops."

"Yes!" The messenger received the order, immediately got on his horse, and galloped away toward the northeast.

Xie Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand and tugged the buckle under the armpit of the leather armor, looked at the cavalry of the Northern Wei Dynasty in the distance, and said coldly to the soldiers behind him:
"As long as you fight hand-to-hand for a while, you will follow me into the formation, fight hard to kill the enemy, and boost the morale of the whole battalion!"

Sun Tian and Xiao Erdan glanced at each other, and in the end it was Sun Tian who reminded him very carefully:
"Lieutenant, the disparity between the enemy and us is too great. The opponent's strength may be more than twice that of mine. Our duty is to escort you away in case of defeat. You have to lead people to charge into battle. I am afraid that such an arrangement is inappropriate. Very appropriate."

Xie Yuan glanced at them coldly, as if observing everyone's expressions.Everyone was stunned by her Danfeng eyes.

After a while, I heard her say:

"The pits on the ground were not dug in vain, and the archers ambush on both sides were not in vain. We are well prepared, and they probably will lose hundreds of people before they arrive, plus our back guards and spears The formation is solid, and it is not certain who will turn around and run away."

After Xie Yuan finished speaking these truths, he raised his voice again, and said with anger and sternness:
"You are my personal soldiers, but you are not only protecting me alone, you are also warriors who can stand up to ten! You are the example of the whole battalion! You are the banner of the whole battalion! If anyone retreats in front of the battle and hesitates, the military law Deal with it!"

"Yes!" Everyone agreed in unison, got on the horse together, and waited for the battle.

At this moment, the cavalry on the opposite side finally moved, roaring forward mightily.

They seemed to have guessed the people ambushing on the gentle slopes on both sides, so when they started to charge, before they were within the range of the array, all their attention was cast on the gentle slopes on both sides.

While charging on horseback, he drew his bow and aimed at the sides, ready to shoot arrows at any time.

I saw Wei Jun's arrow feathers tentatively shot into the grassy slope next to him, but did not attract the expected attack.

So he sped up his speed and rushed forward shouting Sha Zhentian.

Xiao Erdan next to Xie Yuan was shocked at this moment, his voice was so nervous that there was panic, he asked: "Captain, where are the archers in ambush, why didn't they respond?"

Xie Yuan looked at the battlefield in front of him, with a pair of phoenix eyes shining brightly, and said excitedly: "I was afraid that he would shoot the arrow too early, and the layout on the ground would be in vain, it's so good!"

Sure enough, the horses that were rushing forward fell to the ground one after another because of the trap. At this time, the archers arranged on both sides cooperated with the chaos and shot!
The rain of arrows shot down from the sky and fell towards the opponent.

Wei Jun faltered for a moment, hesitating whether to move forward or retreat.There was a trap in front, and a dense rain of arrows in the back, and the wounded soldiers and horses who fell to the ground blocked their way.

It's just that during this hesitation, another 100 people were killed or injured.

Then I saw Wei Jun seemed to be crazy, and the cavalry who was stuck in the middle rushed forward frantically.

Those behind who hadn't entered the trap began to focus on clearing the ambushes on both sides.

They didn't escape, maybe they were too confident, facing the prepared ambush, they were still extremely fierce and invincible.

Xie Yuan drew out his saber, and looked at the cavalrymen of Wei State who had escaped those potholes and rushed towards the formation.

Seeing that one of them flew up and jumped into the gun shield on a steed.

Although it was quickly stabbed to death by everyone.But after he died, he successfully disrupted that small formation for a moment, and was rushed in by the cavalry behind him...

Now is the key!

"Follow me...Kill!!!!" Xie Yuan raised his sword and shouted, rushing down the hillside first.

More than 60 cavalrymen followed closely behind her, carrying the banner of the big battalion behind her, fluttering in the wind and rushing down the hillside.

The infantry, who had been temporarily intimidated by the bravery of the Wei army, saw the school lieutenant rushing into the formation with a thunderous killing sound, his momentum was like a rainbow.

Immediately there was a sense of heroism in everyone's hearts, and they all followed the usual training formation, and several people cooperated in groups, carrying forward shields and cutting and killing at the same time.

The road was full of dead bodies of people and horses, and it was extremely congested. The cavalry lost their advantage of being able to charge by moving quickly, and could only slash down by relying on height.

However, Xie Yuan's subordinates cooperated extremely tacitly. One of them held a shield to block the knife, another raised a spear to stab someone, and another swung a knife to chop a horse's leg...

With such cooperation, the cavalry, which had been feared in the past, fell to the ground one after another like harvesting wheat stalks, and the situation seemed to be crushed.

The cavalry who fell into the trap area in the middle were quickly cleaned up.

The morale of the infantry behind Xie Yuan was unprecedentedly high. While shouting "Kill!" in unison, they moved forward in an orderly manner, while the small formation surrounded the large formation.

They stepped over the fallen corpses under their feet, and the shouts of killing echoed in the valley, as if the heavenly soldiers were unstoppable.

At this time, there were more than 1000 Wei cavalry left to confront Xie Yuan's infantry. Because of the limited terrain, they could not use it.

Both sides went after the archers who were in ambush, but they didn't get any cheap.
