Chapter 58 Tactics(2/2)
When looking at the biographies of ancient figures, one can often find the words "good at riding and shooting". Many of them are even warriors and can be recorded in history books. It can be seen that "being good at riding and shooting" is something worth boasting about, and naturally it is not.
Everyone knows it, especially in the south where boats are the main means of transportation.
Xian Shilang realized that he was in trouble. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers in front of him to block arrows, he quickly ordered to turn around, turned his horse's head in half a circle, and ran back with his men.
But who would have thought that after running not far, screams rang out again behind him, more shrill and denser than before. Xian Shilang turned his head and saw that the group of people were chasing after him again, holding a horse rein in one hand and a crossbow in the other.
Smiling ferociously, he shot arrows at the Tang army.
It's a pity that his subordinates are all brave and elite. At this time, they can only hold their heads and be beaten but have no power to fight back. They have begun to collapse at the end of the team. If this continues, before he can run back to his own position, most of the two thousand people will be dispersed.
, and even the Zhou army would take advantage of the situation to attack their own positions, and that incompetent, cowardly and narrow-minded Liu Yanzhen would definitely kill him.
Xian Shilang was cruel and turned his horse around again to kill Zhou Jun. What shocked him was that Zhou Jun took the opportunity to fire a shower of arrows and then turned around and ran away again. He had also been struggling on the battlefield for half his life.
I have never seen such a rogue style of play.
If he tried to chase him, he would be beaten even more severely. He didn't know what to do for a moment, so he just stood there. Unexpectedly, when the Zhou army saw that he was not pursuing him, they turned around and headed straight for the Tang army's position.
Instead of rushing into the formation, they stopped when they reached a distance of 150 and fired fiercely at the dense phalanx, just like cutting wheat, and a large area fell in a blink of an eye.
Liu Yanzhen was horrified. He immediately ordered the troops to surround the position and scatter a large amount of caltrops. He also ordered his ace cavalry to march out to meet the enemy.
It is difficult to understand the literal meaning of "Ji Ma Spleen". What is unique is that these horsemen are connected with each other by thin iron chains, and each rider holds a wooden shield carved with a beast.
Xu Xian was stunned by this series of magical operations. He even wondered if the enemy coach was an undercover agent sent by Chai Rong. He, Xu Xian, had no intention of rushing into the battle, setting up a counterattack, and throwing iron caltrops.
What's the use.
As for the opponent's new cavalry, it simply goes against common sense. Mobility and flexibility are the strength of cavalry. Horses are not boats. Why should they be chained up? Isn't this looking for death?
Ruan Xiaoyu galloped to Xian Shilang's side, "The commander-in-chief has ordered you to join forces with Ji Mapi to kill this group of cavalry!"
However, Xian Shilang pointed at Bai Yanyu in the distance and said, "Please tell the commander, I think we should kill the infantry first, and it won't be too late to deal with the cavalry later."
"That group of cavalry has already reached the commander. If the commander makes any mistakes, can you bear the responsibility? If you don't obey the commander's orders, I will be rude to you!" Ruan Xiaoyu said and took out his saber.
Come in half.
"Don't worry, I just obey your orders!"
Xian Shilang sighed helplessly and led the remaining more than a thousand cavalry to kill Xu Xian again.
Looking at the two groups of Tang troops surrounding him from two directions, Xu Xian didn't feel any fear in his heart. Looking at the other soldiers around him who also had relaxed expressions, he knew that they had entered the best killing state.
