The story of Princess Xiatang's counterattack

Chapter 704 Fighting

Chapter 704 Fighting

Ice and snow have long been commonplace for Beidi. For some reason, they are not far from Liangzhou City, but there is a big gap in the speed of ice and snow melting.

Beidi has accumulated snow all year round. Since autumn, the thick snow layer has begun to accumulate, and it has never melted since then.

Tianqi is indeed a good place.

As soon as the command flag in the hands of the commanding army fell, the battle between the two sides began silently.

This time, neither Xia Houxiang nor Suo Danyi moved. In the last battle, the two of them deliberately competed. In fact, there were not many opportunities for the leading general to charge forward. The greatest significance of their existence was to command the battle.

Otherwise, what is the difference from ordinary soldiers?
Behind Xia Houxiang, Rong Zhe and Yun Yao rushed into the battlefield in an instant, and the Fuhu camp led by Mo Yao rode away. They directly tore a hole in Beidi's army and plunged in.

At this time, Xuanjiaqi quickly divided into three parts. Apart from Yan Miao and Ji Minghui, Chen Yi also led a team alone. Everyone in the team led by him carried a bow on their backs, and the task was to shoot and kill the enemy from a long distance.

The light cavalry on Beidi's left and right flanks instantly formed a siege, wrapped Tianqi's soldiers in it, and attacked at the right time.

Yan Miao and Ji Minghui each led a team to meet the cavalry on the two wings of Beidi, while Chen Yi led the team to the outside, forming a big semicircle, with an archer in place every fifteen steps.

The arrows in their hands had already been put on the bows, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

The team led by Yan Miao held a special scimitar. The center of mass of the scimitar was far away from the handle, which increased the lethality of the knife. Even if the enemy was wearing armor and the horse was running fast, it was easy to cut off the enemy's head.

Although, they didn't take the knife to decapitate the enemy.

When Yan Miao's team entered the center, they quickly dispersed. Their target was clear, which was the light cavalry on the left and right flanks holding bows and arrows.

The team led by Ji Minghui fell behind Yan Miao. After Yan Miao's team spread out, they also dispersed. The only difference was that the soldiers led by Ji Minghui were holding spears.

Behind every soldier of Yan Miao's team was a soldier of Ji Minghui's team, and the distance between them was not too far.

Bailiyun's eyes have been staring at them since Xuanjiaqi appeared. What he can't figure out is that when others train the team, the soldiers use fixed weapons.

Why does this team hold different weapons every time they appear?

The scattered team is not easy to observe. Bailiyun locked the positions of Yan Miao and Ji Minghui. They are the leaders of the team. As long as you keep an eye on them, you can know the combat mode of the whole team.

I saw Yan Miao holding a scimitar, eyes as sharp as an eagle, quickly searching the battlefield for light armored cavalry with bows and arrows.

Whenever he saw one, he immediately rode his horse and rushed over. With lightning speed, he quickly slid under the horse's belly. Using the speed of the horse's running and the sharp blade of the scimitar, he cut off the side of the enemy horse. horse legs.

Run away after cutting, leaving no chance for the opponent to react.

Bow archery requires a relatively safe environment. They have to concentrate on aiming at the target, so the danger around the soldiers holding the bow is very small, which makes it easier for Yan Miao and others.

They cut off the horse's legs and retreated quickly. The horse lost its balance instantly and fell to one side, and the soldiers immediately fell to the ground.

At this time, Ji Minghui arrived.

The soldiers lying on the ground were still holding the bows and arrows fully drawn in their hands, and they fell down without knowing why. As a result, the spear pierced straight into the body from above, and one life was lost, and there was no hope of surviving.

The seemingly complicated method takes only a moment to execute, but it requires two people with a high degree of tacit understanding to do it, especially the group holding spears. Their role is not only to stab people, but also to help the machete The group cleared away the danger, so that they could feel at ease-cutting the horse's legs.

The two of them cooperated with each other tacitly and quickly shuttled across the battlefield.

And the team led by Chen Yi is the light cavalry who are mainly responsible for close combat with the Tianqi cavalry. This requires extremely high arrow skills, and the accuracy must be guaranteed, otherwise if they accidentally injure their teammates, the consequences will be disastrous.

Therefore, the archers are not good enough, and their role is to assist, not the main force.

Each of the three groups has its own responsibilities, and those who have completed their responsibilities will quickly withdraw and hand over other matters to the next teammate. This not only tests the tacit understanding between the two parties, but also the trust between them.

The Tianqi soldiers on the battlefield can be said to have a clear division of labor - most of the Beidi internal soldiers are generals with high martial arts skills, and Fuhuying is responsible for attacking these people; For ordinary soldiers, these can only be team battles. Everyone fights for numbers, and whoever can fight wins. There is no rules.

Xia Houxiang seldom used battles against Beidi, and Bailiyun did the same.

Gein and the others played against each other before, and various team formations were used a lot. It looked very lively, but the fight was of no practical significance.

Therefore, both Xia Houxiang and Bailiyun agreed to abandon the team formation, and assigned various responsibilities before the battle, and played directly on the field.

Large-scale battles will test the ability of the leading generals. They need to command their own troops according to the specific situation and assess the situation. It is more important to adapt to the situation than to execute it mechanically.

Looking at the overall situation, Xia Houxiang will use mobile troops to support if any way is difficult to deal with.

The fighting on the battlefield was fierce, and countless people were killed or injured. The battle would not be declared over until one side retreated.

But this time, Bei Di was overwhelmed once again, and Tong Danyi withdrew with the team.

He has been watching the situation on the battlefield. This time, his light cavalry team suffered a lot of damage.

Suo Danyi was really bleeding. When did Xia Houxiang train this team that had never appeared on the battlefield?

Could it be that after training, he was specifically dealing with the two hole cards he was proud of?
The heavy cavalry regiment was wiped out by this team, and the light cavalry team was severely damaged by this team.

This team is here to defeat Beidi, right? !

Tian Qi cleaned the battlefield, checked the number of casualties, and then entered the city.

No one is immortal in a war. Whether it is the opponent or your own side, you can ignore it during the fight, but the counting work after the war is inevitably sad.

The life that was alive yesterday became cold and stiff today because of the war.

The surviving soldiers, without exception, stayed to pick up the bones. They were silent, and the heavy snow seemed to want to kill the cruelty of the battlefield.

Above the city gate, Rongli stood with his hands behind his back, overlooking the mourners everywhere, and sighed softly, "I really hope this battle will end sooner."

Xia Houxiang stood shoulder to shoulder with her, hugged her lightly, looked at the battlefield under the sunset, and replied as if promising, "Yes."
