The rebel infantry cooperated with each other and rushed towards the Longmen formation while covering each other.
They thought they could follow the cavalry and catch the enemy. After all, in this era, in the eyes of the infantry, the cavalry was simply invincible.
Although there are about 70,000 to 80,000 garrison troops in front of you, facing 10,000 cavalrymen will definitely make you busy. As long as you follow the cavalrymen and cut off the heads of some remaining soldiers who have been trampled by the horses, that is a military merit and a military merit for promotion.
That's why the rebel infantry charged forward with high morale, as if if they were a step too late, all the credit would be taken away by the cavalry.
Liu Mingzhi was inevitably a little nervous about these rebels who had managed to swarm forward with some tactics.
Although his position is the safest in the center of the formation, he has a wider view on the high platform than the soldiers at the five gates of the Longmen Formation.
Faced with the swarm of rebels, Rong had to be nervous. After all, this was his first time on the battlefield, and there was still a big gap between him and those veterans who had experienced many battles.
Taking a deep breath, Liu Mingzhi hurriedly waved the flag in his hand. The importance of the Dragon Gate Formation lies in the mutual changes of the five formation gates.
Nowadays, the cavalry surrounding the rebels are divided and the gates of the formation are tightly closed. As soon as the infantry reaches the outermost perimeter, the soldiers will become dead souls under the sword and die with no intact corpses.
Although the command flag in Liu Mingzhi's hand changed in time, the guards were already furious, and nearly 30% of the people did not change the formation according to the change of the formation flag.
The flags in the hands of Song and Qing people were waving to a roaring sound, and the ordering soldiers' throats were hoarse from shouting. Only then did the red-eyed defenders start to protect their positions step by step according to the changes in the formation flags.
Even so, many of the guards outside were still fatally charged, and thousands of them were lost in a matter of seconds.
Fortunately, the formation was changed in time, the formation gate was wide open, and the Longmen formation integrated offense and defense. The Longmen formation turned into the starting formation again, waiting for the rebels to attack the formation gate.
The array door opened wide, and the scene inside the Longmen array became clear and eye-catching.
There was blood flowing under the feet of the guards, and flesh and blood flying everywhere. The shields and armor were all covered with horrible flesh and blood, which was disgusting.
The dragon's head, dragon's tail, and dragon's claws began to form a formation.
Liu Mingzhi waved the wooden chess in his hand, and some of the guards on Longbei began to strangle the few remnants of the rebel cavalry.
With one charge, tens of thousands of rebel cavalry were wiped out in the midst of 70,000 people in the Dragon Gate Formation.
The rebel infantry commander who led the charge looked at the hell-like scene in front of him, his scalp numb, and he wanted to give orders to stop the charge.
But how could an army of 100,000 men stop so easily?
The messenger was unable to convey the message in time, and the infantry who stopped slowly in front found that he could not help but be pushed forward by his comrades behind him.
Slowly approaching the open gate of the Longmen Formation.
Now you can immediately see the difference between elite troops and miscellaneous troops. Elite troops are always centered on the main army. If the front army does not move, the rear army will stop immediately.
The five gates of the Dragon Gate Formation, spread out by 70,000 people, are enough to accommodate 50,000 rebels entering the formation.
The former commander of the rebel army found that he could not stop at all, so he had no choice but to send an order to attack the gate of the formation and engage in a head-to-head fight with the defenders.
However, the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
The three-pronged front army divided into three formations and began to attack. After they entered the large formation, they found that their queue of tens of thousands of people had somehow been divided into five small queues that could not see each other from the beginning to the end.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the scattered infantry who were divided like cavalry and showed a bloodthirsty smile.
With a wave of the command flag in his hand, just like before, the dragon claws covered the attack, the dragon head, dragon tail, spear and halberd wrapped the rebels in the formation. The long weapons instantly stabbed the enemy into a hornet's nest.
Every inch longer and every inch stronger is vividly reflected at this moment.
The rebels also have a lot of halberdiers, but compared to the defenders who opened up the formation, the weapons in their hands that were trapped in the changes in the formation gate could not function as they should.
According to the change of the formation flag, the dragon's tail and its head swung, the cruel methods of the dragon-belly swordsman were once again displayed, and another scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere appeared.
Before Liu Mingzhi could be happy, a crisis began to appear in the Longmen formation.
The five phalanxes only focused on attacking and killing the 30,000 rebels surrounding the formation, but the rear was almost beaten to pieces by the remaining 70,000 people, and the formation was almost unsafe.
Liu Mingzhi panicked, why were his enemies smart? Shouldn't he be able to wipe out all his enemies like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves as soon as the dragon gate formation formed by the protagonist's aura as a time traveler came out? Why is he still capable?
Counterattack formation.
At this time, Liu Mingzhi's shortcomings of lack of experience in battle became apparent.
If it is according to what is said in the commentary, the Dragon Gate Formation of 70,000 people can easily kill them all when faced with an attack of 100,000 elite soldiers.
Liu Mingzhi is just a mortal, not an omnipotent God of War. He is a human being and has shortcomings. This is inevitable.
Thirty thousand people rushed into the gate of the formation. Where the entire formation of 70,000 people was needed to surround them, they only needed the swords and shields of the dragon's claws and the large swordsmen of the dragon's belly to attack together, in conjunction with the 10,000 archers in the center of the formation.
Thirty thousand rebels can be easily eliminated.
The most correct evolution of attack and defense is the combination of spearmen and halberdiers with inch-long and inch-strong spears and halberdiers on the dragon's head and dragon's tail, combined with the shield crossbowmen on the dragon's back, to defend against the following rebels.
Unfortunately, there is no regret in the world. Liu Mingzhi was treated in time. After the Dragon Gate Formation was restored to its formation, there was already a considerable gap in the position of the Dragon Claw and Dragon Tail.
The positions of the other three gates are also incomplete.
A rough estimate shows that in just a moment of confusion, the Longmen Formation, without the command flag at the center of the formation, nearly tens of thousands of people were rushed and killed by the rebels in an instant.
"Third brother, come to your senses and set up your formation."
Song Qing's howl sounded like thunder in Liu Mingzhi's ears. Liu Mingzhi immediately came to his senses, his teeth clenched on his tongue, his face turned red, and a trace of bright red blood flowed from his mouth.
Liu Mingzhi stood on the formation platform and quickly scanned the situation of the Longmen Formation, and waved the command flag in his hand rapidly.
The 10,000 back-up troops who had been prepared long ago immediately made up for the missing gap in the Longmen Formation.
"Change of formation."
As always, a brand new Dragon Gate Formation was restored as new. If there were not those bones on the ground that people dared not look at directly, it would be as if nothing had happened.
The soldiers of the rebel army's rear army, who had already restored their formation, looked in the direction of the Longmen formation with pale faces.
In half an hour, the 30,000-strong army was gone? Even if it was an attack on the city, there wouldn't be such a big loss, right?
What on earth is this formation filled with strange things? It's like an abyss swallowing people.
First there were 10,000 cavalry, and then 30,000 infantry. They were all gone in less than half a day.
More than a dozen commanders, large and small, looked at each other in confusion, wondering whether they should continue the attack.
They hesitated but Liu Mingzhi would not hesitate. Liu Mingzhi, who had blood-red eyes, waved the command flag in his hand continuously, opened the formation gate wide, and 10,000 archers quickly released arrows, followed by another wave of arrow rain.
"Fight back, the archers from the rear army fire back."
The frustrated commanders looked at their soldiers who were wounded by arrows and began to convey orders.
