Chapter 1357 Are these the people of Daning under Yuanwu’s rule?(1/2)
"Raise your shield!"
Takamatsu shouted.
In this battle, as the general of the Northwest Army, he did his duty.
With his voice.
Afterwards, the rebels raised their shields one after another.
The shields are not uniform, some are regular shields, and some are round wooden shields.
All the equipment from the Northwest Army's arsenal was taken out, but it could not meet the needs.
Many of the shields used are homemade, but they can be used to defend against arrows.
Didn't wait for Takamatsu's order.
Everyone subconsciously raised their shields.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
The arrows collided with the shields and made a thin sound. Naturally, some people were shot and fell down.
This is real war.
Although the rebels had experience fighting against foreign tribes in the Western Regions, they still faced the enemy passively, which was completely different from this kind of frontal battle.
At this moment, many people gritted their teeth and encouraged each other.
By this time there was no way out.
Along with the rain of arrows from the sky, the advancing Western Region army was also divided into three.
The front army continued to rush in, and the other two groups detoured from both sides. It was obvious that they were intending to encircle!
They have enough troops to do this easily.
The army of the Western Regions wants to clear away all the resistance in front of Laiyang City, which means they want to kill everyone here.
The only drawback is that there is not a vast combat area in front of Laiyang City, which cannot accommodate all the troops participating in the battle.
Now only three armies have been dispatched, with less than 50,000 troops invested.
In their opinion, these troops are enough.
Along with the rain of arrows from the sky, the army from the Western Regions rushed in quickly. When the rain of arrows stopped, they had already rushed to the front of the formation.
The impact this has on people is quite large.
"Coming!"
"withstand!"
The soldiers of the Northwest Army behind the shield gritted their teeth.
They leaned sideways, pushed up with their shoulders, and pressed the whole body against it.
"stretch!"
With a shout.
The spear that was originally just sticking out extended its head.
At this time, the Western Region cavalry at the front happened to rush over.
The sharp spear pierced directly into the horse's body. Accompanied by the painful cry of the war horse, the alien warrior on its back was thrown out directly under the action of inertia...
The timing is just right!
The Northwest Army is a border-guarding army composed of elite troops.
Obviously, these foreign warriors did not expect such a move, and hundreds of cavalry at the front were immediately damaged.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
At the same time, a huge impact swept through, and the shield array was impacted.
"Hold it!"
"withstand!"
Under the impact, the soldiers behind the shield immediately trembled, their bones were even shattered by the recoil, and they even vomited blood.
But they still gritted their teeth.
"Master!"
"Go on!"
The generals commanding from the front shouted.
Immediately, more people stood behind the shield, each shoulder and body forming a solid wall!
"kill!"
"kill!"
At the same time, the pikemen behind the shield did not miss this excellent opportunity.
The spear was withdrawn and thrust out again.
So back and forth!
When he couldn't stab anyone, he stabbed the war horse, and bloody holes were poked out one by one.
As long as you block the first wave, you have a chance.
If the Western Region cavalry at the front stops, the cavalry at the rear will not be able to move forward, and it will be difficult for them to exert their combat effectiveness.
It's just that this process is difficult, with human power resisting the power of war horses.
Seeing that the Northwest Army was unable to resist, the rebels stepped forward one after another.
The shield shook constantly, but it never collapsed, and not a single gap was opened.
The Western Region cavalry stopped abruptly.
"What are you doing!"
"What happened before?"
"Why did you stop?"
The cavalrymen in the center and rear crowded together and cursed loudly.
The strength of the cavalry lies in charging, so how can they stop?
The neighing of war horses is echoing, and it seems that the front army has come to a standstill.
This is just one place.
At the same time, the cavalry that had circled the two wings earlier were about to rush over.
The remaining nearly 10,000 northwest troops are blocking the front, and there is no resistance on both sides.
Once the cavalry charges, they will inevitably die tragically.
Of course the rebels will not sit still and wait for death.
Before the enemy cavalry on both wings could charge in, they had already rushed out from both wings.
They took the initiative to meet the enemy, and their target was the alien front army that was blocked and stopped!
The formation is starting to change.
But it looks messy!
Everyone raised their weapons and shouted hoarsely.
This is to build up courage.
Although they are infantry, they are not yet a regular army, and the weapons they use do not yet have uniform weapons.
There are knives and swords, spears and spears.
They actually took the initiative to charge towards the enemy cavalry!
"Kill!"
"kill!"
The Western Region cavalry stopped in front was still thinking of going around on both sides, trying to find a way to avoid the obstruction, but they were surrounded and killed!
They were a little confused.
Why are these people so brave?
Riding on tall horses, they almost looked down at these tiny people.
Who gave them the courage to take the initiative?
To be continued...
