Chapter 65 Macedonian Phalanx

"Zhao San, what's going on?"

Old man Zhao sat on the bed and shouted outside.

"Sir, the party members are here and have already rushed into Qingshui Valley!"

The entourage got into the tent, and while helping Mr. Zhao put on his shoes, he said: "Master, the horses are ready. You can go back to Weizhou City quickly."

"General Fan sent me to supervise the army, how could I back down?"

Old man Zhao hurriedly ran out of the tent and looked at Qingshui Valley.

At this time, the vanguard of the Dangxiang cavalry had already rushed into the valley. The Dangxiang cavalry, with their faces painted messily, were screaming and charging fiercely with their swords.

At a glance, it was a large area of ​​darkness, at least more than a thousand riders.

Speaking of it, more than a thousand cavalry may not seem like much, but when you see it with your own eyes, it is very terrifying.

The dust brought up by the galloping war horses shot up into the clouds, and the sound was deafening.

Some of the new recruits were so frightened that they would have run away if the law enforcement officer hadn't been holding a sword to supervise the battle.

Although Old Man Zhao was arrogant, he was also quite courageous. After coming down from the high ground, he immediately returned to the tent and picked up a brush. He quickly wrote a letter and handed it to his entourage: "Quick, send a message to General Fan immediately and ask him to

Send troops immediately to reinforce Qingshui Valley!"

The entourage immediately ran out of the tent with the letter in hand. The messenger who was already waiting on his horse put away the letter and immediately rushed towards Weizhou City.

After writing the letter asking for help, Old Man Zhao ran out of the tent again.

At this time, the party's cavalry were almost rushing to the middle of the valley, but they did not see any movement from the Tielin Army.

Old man Zhao was anxious at that time: "Why don't the Tielin Army form a formation to meet the enemy? Where is Jin Feng?"

"over there!"

The follower pointed to a high ground not far away.

Jin Feng, with several guards and messengers, stood on the high ground with his hands behind his back, looking down at the valley below.

"Isn't this kid scared out of his wits?"

Old man Zhao stamped his feet, picked up his robe, and ran to the high ground: "General Fan is right, the craftsmen are indeed unreliable!"

Which two legs can run faster than four legs?

As soon as Old Man Zhao ran to the bottom of the high ground, the cavalry was almost rushing to the end of the valley.

A few hundred meters further ahead is the Tielin Army camp.

The party cavalry will trample everything in their path, and when they rush over, there will only be a dead end.

Old man Zhao no longer cared about Qinghuai's warning not to interfere with military affairs, nor did he care whether Jin Feng would chop him. He shouted at Jin Feng on the high ground:

"Ignorant child, what are you doing so stupidly? Hurry up and form a formation to meet the enemy!"

But Jin Feng seemed not to hear him. He didn't look at him or make any move. He still looked down at the valley.

"How could Qinghuai be so blind that he entrusted the Tielin Army to such a fool!"

Old Zhao sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "It's over, the Tielin Army is over!... Weizhou City is over too!"

He seemed to have seen the party's cavalry crushing Tielin's army and rushing into Weizhou City, burning, killing and looting.

Angrily, he punched the ground several times with his fist, then drew out his entourage's saber, and prepared to go to the valley to fight the party members.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred.

I saw a party horse rushing at the front, and its right front leg suddenly stepped into a deep pit as big as a bowl.

When a war horse gallops, its inertia is very large.

There was just a click, and the war horse, which had no time to pull out its legs, fell to the ground, and its right front leg was broken when it got stuck in the pit!

The party soldier on the horse was thrown ten meters away, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled forward for several meters before stopping.

The right arm was bent abnormally and was obviously fractured.

This is just the beginning...

More and more war horses fell to the ground!

More and more party soldiers flew out!

There were also some unlucky soldiers who were crushed under the horses and were crushed to death on the spot!

Plop, plop falling to the ground!

The cry of war horses!

The painful howls of the party soldiers!

Everlasting!

It sounds slow, but it's actually very fast.

In just the blink of an eye, the front row of horses all fell to the ground, forming a straight line.

The cavalry behind them didn't have time to stop, so they bumped into those fallen horses, tripping over them and causing them to flip over.

Even if a few lucky guys with quick reactions and superb riding skills control their horses to jump over, the horse's legs will step into the pit in the next second.

For a time, the southernmost few dozen meters of the valley were filled with struggling horses and cavalry.

After paying the price of nearly a hundred men and horses, the large force of Dangxiang's cavalry finally stopped their mad dash.

At this moment, Jin Feng made a gesture to the guard.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The dull war drum sounded, and the orderly soldier took out two small flags and waved them alternately!

Inside the Tielin Army camp, a square formation quickly rushed out.

At the front of the square formation, two rows of soldiers held huge shields, forming a two-layer shield formation.

The soldiers following the shield formation, each carrying a bamboo more than five meters long, followed closely behind.

The front end of the bamboo was sharpened and penetrated through the gap in the middle of the shield.

Seen from a distance, the front of the phalanx looks like a hedgehog, densely covered with sharp bamboo poles.

If there are military enthusiasts from Earth here, I am afraid they will be able to recognize it at a glance. This is a variant of the famous Macedonian Phalanx.

However, the Macedonian phalanx used spears more than ten feet long, which also required cavalry to cooperate with the plundering formation.

Jin Feng couldn't find so many spears at once, so he had to use sharpened bamboo instead.

As for the cavalry, if you want to get some, the Tielin Army can get some, but it's not necessary.

The terrain here is a canyon. The width of the square formation was calculated by Jin Feng. It is exactly the same as the canyon. There are mountains on the left and a river on the right. There is no need for cavalry to sweep the formation.

On the high ground, Jin Feng made another gesture, and the drummer immediately beat the war drum again.

The small flag on the left hand of the messenger waved back and forth rhythmically.

"Enter!"

Xu Xiao, who was in charge of the on-site command, roared angrily, and the phalanx marched forward in unison.

Dangxiang is a nomadic people who respects warriors the most. A cavalryman who flew to the front was slightly injured. He raised his scimitar and roared towards the phalanx.

Unfortunately, he was still more than ten feet away from the shield, and several bamboos in front of him poked forward at the same time.

The cavalryman only had time to swing open a bamboo pole with his machete, and his neck was pierced by another bamboo pole!

The bamboo Xu Xiao selected has the thickness of a bowl at the bottom and is slightly thinner at the top, which is about the same as the mouth of a teacup.

When the bamboo was pulled out, half of the cavalryman's neck was gone, and he couldn't even hold his head up.

From the beginning to the end, under the command of Xu Xiao, the phalanx did not even stop. It still advanced slowly at an orderly pace, and soon reached the area where the thrown away cavalry were concentrated.

"stop!"

Xu Xiao gave a sharp shout, and the phalanx immediately stopped.

"attack!"

All the bamboos were pushed forward suddenly.

"receive!"

All the bamboos were gathered back.

Between sending and receiving, the cavalry on the ground, whether alive or dead, standing or lying down, resisting or not resisting, were all pierced!

"Enter!"

There was another sharp shout, and the phalanx started up again.
