Li Feng shook his head simply: "No, the battle line is too long. The Chinese army cannot form a formation. We must fight for another round!"
Excluding the cavalry and chariots on both wings, Li Chengzhi would only have 200 soldiers, including the more than 40 cavalry who were ready to set fire and last wounds.
Even if a gun formation is only three layers thick, the width of the battle line must be at least doubled.
Li Feng changed his sword to his left hand, drew out a javelin again, and while signaling the cavalry to reorganize, he said to the commander of the chariots: "Follow closely, and continue to move forward!"
"I know!" Shi Chang nodded heavily, put the bow around his neck, and jumped into the car again.
None of the more than twenty vehicles were unloaded, just to deal with this situation.
"Come in!" Li Feng roared and urged the horse again.
More than twenty chariots and soldiers raised their horses' reins and followed quickly.
A similar scene also happened at the east corner of the city wall...
The vehicle formations on the east and west wings quickly followed up, leaving the left and right depths for the rebels to become increasingly narrow...
……
"Hold on...hold on...raise the gun..."
The monk wearing Zha armor waved the knife in his hand vigorously, and used the back of the knife to beat the mixed riders who had become a mess.
But where does anyone listen to him?
The injured ones howled heart-breakingly, and the uninjured ones were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders burst. The more they squeezed, the more chaotic they became, and the more chaotic they became, the more crowded they became...
Seeing the enemy cavalry charging forward again, one of them shouted "escape", and the cavalry formation collapsed immediately.
The part that was completely frightened no longer cared about it. As long as there was a gap in front, it would squeeze out without even having time to distinguish whether the enemy cavalry was coming from the direction.
If you are calmer, you will squeeze towards the north and south. You just want to get out of the enemy's gun range and cavalry attack range as soon as possible, regardless of which side is the city wall or which side is the farm.
The smarter ones tugged on the reins hard, trying to turn the animals under them to face south.
Because the south of the road is the farm, and the farmland is around the farm. There is no cover, and you can escape wherever you go.
There were not just one or two rebels who had this idea. There were already many spearmen with good eyesight and quick wits who jumped down the road and rushed into the fields.
But before his feet crossed the field ridge, he felt a pain in the back of his heart. The spearman instinctively lowered his head and saw that a spear tip was exposed on his chest...
A fat monk drew out his spear and spear, and stabbed the second defeated soldier, shouting and cursing: "Those who retreat without permission will die..."
The monk holding the knife also reacted, turned the back of the knife into a blade, and slashed wildly:
"Charge... charge forward... there are only twenty or thirty cavalry, so I'm afraid of a bird feather..."
As the blade struck down, an arrow of blood shot up, like a chicken being grabbed by the neck, and the monk's cry suddenly stopped.
He lowered his head in disbelief, but before his neck even lowered, he fell off the horse with a somersault, and there was a javelin stuck in his neck.
The monks were wearing such conspicuous white armor, how could Li Feng and the cavalry not see them?
So this round, the monk wearing white armor has become the key target.
If I can’t stab you to death, I can’t stab you anymore?
After one round of javelin, three or four monks were knocked off their horses.
The chaotic soldiers who had just been sorted out became even more chaotic.
In the chaotic formation, several monks were still struggling to kill and shout, trying to maintain the formation and let the spearmen deploy. However, the more powerful they killed, the faster the rebel soldiers collapsed.
If there is one, there will be two, and if there are two, there will be ten... In the blink of an eye, the farmland under the official road was densely packed with rebel soldiers and civilians, like ants.
After completing the second round of killings, Li Feng, who had just turned to the west, was stunned.
Why did it collapse so quickly? Grandpa hasn’t shot an arrow yet?
Not to mention that he didn't expect it, even Li Chengzhi didn't expect it.
According to his plan, he took advantage of the enemy's arrogance and caught him off guard first, allowing Li's cavalry to shoot and charge in one or two rounds, completely suppressing the rebel cavalry and preventing the rebels from attacking the chariot formation, thus ensuring that the chariots and soldiers could
Arrange the formation calmly and shorten the width of the Chinese attack front as much as possible.
Then the Chinese army pressed in, and the cavalry on both wings assisted with lob fire, driving the rebels as far as possible under the city wall.
As long as the soldiers guarding the city are not pigs, they at least know how to shoot arrows, right?
But no one expected that with just two rounds of cavalry charges, the rebels were completely defeated?
Moreover, the Eastern Front collapsed earlier, in only one round...
The main reason was the two thousand rebels who were about to be taken to Jingzhou.
There were men and women, all young and strong, with their hands tied, and they were connected in long lines behind the carriages carrying food and goods, or behind the cavalry.
There are gunmen guarding the surrounding areas.
When Li Shi rushed over, the one hundred cavalrymen on the eastern front were still hurriedly untying the rope buckles connecting the rebels.
After all, dragging such a long line of people would make it difficult to escape, let alone fight.
As a result, as soon as the rope buckle was untied, the javelin came.
This thing doesn't recognize whether you are a soldier or a civilian: the spearmen are better, at least their hands are not tied, and they know how to hide behind the car, but the cavalry and the mob will be in trouble.
Especially the rioters, who were strung together and had no choice but to hide randomly.
How explosive can a person be under fear?
Or dozens of people connected together?
Not to mention the cavalry, at least twenty of the more than thirty vehicles and carriages were pulled to the ground by the mob on the spot. The spearmen who had just hid behind the vehicles were crushed to death and at least half of them were injured...
Seeing the chaos of the spearmen, there was no threat to his own cavalry, and the enemy cavalry was even more flawless. Most of them didn't even take off their guns. Li Shi seized the opportunity in an instant, changed his tactics temporarily, and did not dodge.
Go ahead and kill him.
They didn't last even a minute, and these hundreds of miscellaneous knights were dying and running away...
When he saw this, Li Chengzhi almost clapped his hands and applauded.
In this era where communication basically relies on shouting, a general's ability to adapt to situations can often determine the outcome of a local war or small-scale battle.
Although this battle could have been won even without Li Shi's sudden change of circumstances, it did not hinder Li Chengzhi's admiration and appreciation for him.
It’s just that the degree in between is hard to grasp.
If you praise me too much, maybe Li Shi will become "Li Bai"...
How much combat power can a group of newly formed rebels have?
The spearmen who were lucky enough not to be pinned down by the carriage had already dispersed along with the mob.
Therefore, the Eastern Front not only collapsed earlier than the Western Front, but was also much more miserable.
It was also because he saw the disorganized civilians and spearmen on the eastern front that the spearmen on the western front collapsed earlier than the cavalry...
Looking at the rioters and soldiers scurrying around like headless flies, Li Chengzhi seemed to have returned to the night when he ambushed Yin Guang.
The only thing missing is a fire.
In fact, the fire has already been set.
Li Chengzhi was afraid that the battle line was too long and that the gun array would not be able to hold it down, and that some rebels would rush into the farm to occupy the farm and resist, so he first asked the cavalry to burn the farm.
When the Chinese army pressed forward, the cavalrymen who set fire to the enemy freed up their hands and fired another round of rockets at the bandit's carriage.
Unexpectedly, before the Chinese army even moved, the rebels collapsed...
Now that the enemy has been defeated, there is naturally no need for the defenders on the city.
