Chapter 1090 Liang Jun's Revenge Twelve
But if you look carefully, you will find that the speed of the two groups of cavalry charging forward is almost the same. The cavalry in the front row is charging, and the cavalry behind is also following up. The rain of arrows always falls in front of the front line for more than ten or twenty people.
The distance of one step is like a sky curtain slowly moving forward.
It seemed that the distance was very close and dangerous, but in fact the only ones who were killed were the Yan troops who were charging forward. Often, as soon as the arrow rain fell, the Liang army's spears were just in front of them.
Of course, all this seems simple, but it requires tens of thousands of soldiers to move in unison and control the distance and formation between them to an abnormal level.
The strange tactics made the Yan army miserable, and more and more cavalry were killed and fell from their horses. Many people narrowly avoided the arrows, but they could not avoid the silver-white spear tip.
When the front row's striker hit the middle of the Yan army's formation, the Yan army in front was already in a scattered state, and at this moment the continuous rain of arrows finally stopped.
Just when Yan Jun wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, Liang Jun suddenly began to change his formation.
Chenyue and Qian Zimo each led a team of cavalry, one on the left and the other on the right. They rushed diagonally. The huge Liang Army cavalry formation was divided into two from the middle. The five thousand cavalrymen led by Xiao Shangwen also began to follow the front.
The cavalry was divided into two groups.
Taking advantage of the gaps in the Yan army's scattered formation, the Liang army easily completed the change of formation, just like two sharp arrows driving wildly into the Yan army's cavalry formation, but the direction of the forward charge had changed from straight to diagonal.
Shen Tu Chenfeng, who was still fighting in Liang Jun's formation, noticed something was wrong behind him. When he turned around, his expression changed drastically. He judged Liang Jun's intention immediately.
This 15,000-man cavalry formation was composed of the first wave of 10,000 cavalry and the subsequent 5,000 cavalry. The first 10,000 cavalry were arranged on both sides, and the 5,000 men led by Shentu Chenfeng were in the middle.
The original intention of forming this formation is to protect the cavalry on both sides.
The 10,000 people at the beginning had gone through many formations, and they suffered the most physical losses and the most casualties, and their fighting spirit was not strong. The Liang army was obviously trying to avoid the strong and attack the weak, and wanted to defeat these exhausted 10,000 people.
Destroyed in one fell swoop.
Shentu Chenfeng guessed it, but he could do nothing because the vanguard of the Liang army's cavalry had already begun the massacre.
Sure enough, the Yan army on both sides was weak and collapsed under the charge of the Liang army. Some cavalry troops even began to gallop on their horses, trying to escape from the battlefield regardless of their formation.
Yes, Shentu Chenfeng just said that those who are timid will die, but when death really comes, who will stay there stupidly?
Is it possible that Shentu Chenfeng still wants to put down Liang's army and kill those own soldiers?
"Bang bang bang!"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Ahhh!"
The Yan army on both wings could barely raise their swords to fight back at the beginning, but after they withstood the first wave of attacks from Chen Yue and Qian Zimo, they were truly at the end of their crossbows. Xiao Shangwen's five thousand cavalry who followed closely behind gave them a fatal blow.
A blow.
Although these five thousand cavalry fought hard at the beginning of the war, they have been at the end of the team since then, and their physical strength has recovered a lot. Now facing this group of exhausted soldiers is like a tiger among wolves.
"Chi chi chi~"
The spears kept piercing the chests of the Yan soldiers. Most of the Liang soldiers had already finished the last blow of the spears and began to draw their swords to fight.
The sharp Beiliang blade kept swiping across Yan Bing's throat, splashing bright blood flowers.
"Asshole! What a waste!"
Shentu Chenfeng finally cursed angrily. This group of cavalry troops assembled from various tribes in the grassland were indeed useless. Now he was already missing the elite Shentu private cavalry. His own soldiers were more convenient to use.
After piercing the formation twice in succession, the Yan army on both wings suffered heavy casualties, and the rest fled in panic, trampling on each other and causing some casualties.
The Liang army rushing past made a large circle from both sides and then gathered in the middle. As the cavalry troops merged, elite cavalrymen continued to accelerate to the front of the team to protect those who were injured or weak.
In the center of the team, the huge Liang King's banner always stands at the front of the team.
This time the Liang army did not turn back to dig into the formation, but formed a cone shape and went straight towards the last 5,000 troops still in the Yan army's formation.
These five thousand people were left by Shentu Chenfeng to prevent the Liang army from escaping. Now as long as their defense line is broken, no one can stop the Liang army from leaving.
Looking at the surging five thousand cavalry, the leading general of the Yan army swallowed his saliva and shouted angrily with a slight trembling:
"Meet the enemy!"
Even though the five thousand soldiers raised their spears, many of them looked frightened. They had all witnessed the charge of the Liang army just now. It could be said that no one had ever seen such a brave cavalry army.
Can they really stop it?
"Kill!" the leading middle-aged military general shouted angrily and took the lead in facing Liang Jun.
The five thousand cavalry troops began to charge forward in rows, but Liang Jun, who had already raised the speed of his horses to the extreme, rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"drink!"
Chenyue's eyes suddenly widened, he shouted angrily, and stabbed out a spear, hitting General Yan's chest.
Kill the enemy with one strike!
"Pfft!"
The general's eyes were full of despair, and he was dead before he could stab the spear in his hand.
This time Chen Yue did not use his spear, but used all his strength to lift the body up and push it far away.
"Plop~"
The corpse fell heavily to the ground. The Yan army who witnessed this scene were all frightened, and panic spread among the cavalry formation like a plague.
They barely managed to delay the Liang army's formation before they were overwhelmed. Although the losses were not great, the formation was not what it looked like at all.
Collapse, yes, the only word that can be used to describe these 5,000-strong army is disintegration.
After a while, the Liang army broke through the formation of the five thousand cavalry troops. The Liang army who jumped out of the formation did not rush south to return to Wuguan. Instead, they turned around and looked at the Yan army in the distance, waiting in formation.
The Yan army was bustling on the battlefield, and Shentu Chenfeng was trying his best to gather the formation, but the five thousand fresh troops were scattered in his furious eyes.
Chenyue slowly walked out of the cavalry formation, one by one, looking at Yan Jun almost provocatively.
Across the vast battlefield, the two sides faced each other from a distance. Large areas of corpses of the Yan army lay on the ground, making the surviving cavalry secretly swallow their saliva.
A middle-aged military general asked cautiously next to Shentu Chenfeng: "General, do you still want to charge?"
In the charge just now, this general was almost killed by Liang Jun's gun, and he is still shocked and confused until now.
Shentu Chenfeng silently touched the blood seeping from his shoulder, and after hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Gather the defeated troops and retreat!"
Yes, the Yan army with 20,000 riders failed to stop the Liang army and was forced to form a formation and retreat. Shentu Chenfeng knew that as long as the Liang army charged again, his army would face a massacre.
It's not that he doesn't dare to fight, it's that he can't fight.
Looking at the nervous retreating Yan army, Chen Yue's lips curled up into a smile, he turned his horse around and shouted:
Chapter completed!
