"General, the sky is dark now, but there is still light. Why do they put on torches?" A military prince stood beside Lejiu, full of worries.
Lejiu suddenly woke up and shouted loudly: "No, they are going to light the grain truck on fire."
Most of these grains and grasses were grains and firewood, which burned immediately when encountering an open fire. The grain carts were arranged on the periphery of the military formation, originally to resist the momentum of the cavalry.
But if it catches fire, the two thousand elite soldiers will not have to come into close contact with these cavalry troops. They will be surrounded by fire and collapse without a fight.
Le couldn't be a fool. He immediately understood Gao Jin's plan and became impatient. He raised his long knife and pointed forward, shouting: "The handyman transporting grain is waiting here. The rest of the people will rush to kill you! Come on!"
"
This is the last resort. Give up defense and turn to attack. Wouldn't Le Le understand that this approach is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth? In this wilderness, two thousand infantry are fighting without any defensive equipment or military formations.
Against eight hundred cavalry, there is no chance of winning.
But when things came to a head, this was his only choice.
"Kill!" Le rode on a fast horse to meet him.
The densely packed infantry passed through the car formation, and then began to sprint toward the cavalry in a cone shape.
The rumble of horse hooves broke the tranquility of the wilderness, and the entire ground seemed to shake, kicking up countless flying dust.
Gao Jin had locked Lejiu at the front of the opposite side and kept urging his horse forward. He pointed the Emei gun in his hand diagonally forward and shouted: "Throw away the torch!"
"Throw away the torch..."
"Throw away the torch..."
The torch in the knight's hand quickly dropped. Now that the enemy has left the car formation, the key to victory lies in the next charge.
The mission of the cavalry is to charge into the formation and forcefully open a breakthrough in the tightly guarded enemy front, and then the army will cover it up. Because in the cold weapon era, it is difficult to make up for flaws in the front line. Therefore, the cavalry often has a very appropriate position.
The word to describe it is called "surprise cavalry". And for cavalry, speed is fundamental. Only by running can they become kings on land. Once the speed decreases and they are stuck fighting the enemy on the same spot, they are not as useful as infantry. At least infantry
Be more professional.
Therefore, the cavalry only pays attention to explosive power. When it rushes into the enemy's formation, if it cannot overwhelm the opponent, it will inevitably fall into a fierce battle. Once the cavalry loses its mobility, all its advantages will be gone.
Gao Jin's eyes were already red. This was the first time he faced an enemy head-on. He swung the Emei gun in mid-air, and Le Jiu's figure was getting closer and closer.
Le was also sweating at this moment. Whether he could survive or not depended on whether his elite soldiers could withstand and digest the first wave of impact from the cavalry on the opposite side.
In an instant, with the sound of "Woo..." and the desolate sound of the horn, the formation of the running cavalry began to change. Within Lejiu's sight, the leading cavalry general raised his spear in the air, and in an instant
The cavalry behind them roared like thunder.
In an instant, the cavalry suddenly paused. Then, the entire cavalry formation gradually unfolded, like a slowly opening large net, showing a sharp crescent moon formation at both ends. Then, the sound of the horn turned from desolate to desolate.
It was shrill and shrill, like a lone wolf howling at night, and the whole army suddenly began to speed up. Eight hundred spears and horse spears, reflecting the last brilliance of the setting sun, rushed over like a spear.
"Shoot, shoot quickly!" Le felt that this group of cavalry was unusual and quickly gave the order.
Hundreds of foot archers immediately pointed their arrows at the sky. As the sound of bowstrings sounded, hundreds of sharp arrows arced in the air and shot towards the oncoming cavalry.
The cavalry came and went like the wind. After withstanding the torrential rain of arrows, Gao Jin was only twenty feet away from Yuan Shujun's main formation. The cavalry formation suddenly retreated, forming a sharp and powerful assault formation. The cavalry was originally raised as high as a mountain.
The spear was pressed down, and the sharp tip of the spear emitted a dazzling cold light.
"Kill!" After this was Gao Jin's last shout, he rushed into the enemy formation like a wild horse, knocking several cavalrymen away in succession. The Emei gun in his hand was not slow, and he kept swinging it in large circles. In an instant,
In the meantime, a piece of it was swept away.
Gao Jin was the first to break through a gap, and the cavalry behind him also followed behind Gao Jin, thrusting their spears, and followed Gao Jin, widening the gap continuously, like paper pricks, throwing Yuan Shujun's hastily formed formation into a shaky state.
The gap began to widen continuously. Gao Jin took the lead and continued to sprint desperately. What was left behind him were broken corpses. After his power was exhausted, the entire Yuan Shu army had been divided into two, and a wave of people surged behind him.
The incoming cavalry took advantage of the gap opened by Gao Jin and overwhelmed Yuan Shu's army without hesitation.
Ruined.
By the time Gao Jin reined in his horse and turned back, it was clear that he had achieved what he expected. Yuan Shu's army began to collapse. The last bit of courage among the soldiers was shattered. Countless people began to flee in all directions. The remaining soldiers were divided into several pieces and struggled to resist. Finally, these encirclements were gradually closed.
The gathering...
"Ignore the deserters, kill them!" Gao Jin shouted, reining up his horse and charging into a group of Yuan Shu's troops with guns drawn. He was like a god descending from the earth, destroying all these people with only a little support. The Emei gun in his hand swept across and stabbed, and in an instant
A shower of blood fell.
The cavalry did not pursue the fleeing Yuan Shu soldiers, which caused the last courage of the stubborn Yuan Shu army to collapse. There was a way to survive by escaping, but a dead end by resisting. More and more people joined the fleeing team, and the army was defeated...
…
Gao Jin stood on his horse and looked at the deserters with a cold smile. In this wilderness, the only fate for the deserters was death. First, break down their will to resist, and then it would be time to harvest.
……………………………………………………
Blood filled the entire wilderness. Teams of cavalry returned to the bloody battlefield carrying heads or prisoners and began to assemble. Gao Jin held his sword and watched Lejiu being forced to kneel down, and said indifferently:
"Are you willing to surrender?"
Lejiu bared his teeth, opened his blood-red eyes, stared to the point of splitting, and said loudly: "A scholar can be killed without being humiliated. I wish I could kill you, a thief like you!"
Gao Jin smiled coldly, drew out his long sword, put it on Lejiu's neck, and said indifferently: "For the last time, do you want to surrender?"
Le just remained silent.
Gao Jin sighed: "You can be considered a man. If this was Xiapi, maybe I would have the patience to persuade you to surrender. But now in this dangerous wilderness, I cannot march with an enemy, so I will send you on your way today."
Come, kill him, leave his whole body, and bury him here."
He took back his sword, turned around and walked away.
A happy voice came from behind: "General, I have no regrets in treating you like this. Thank you, General!"
The setting sun was extremely bleak, and Gao Jin sat down on the ground tiredly, looking at the busy soldiers around him and smiling.
Yu Jin came over and said, "Sir, we have captured more than 900 prisoners in total. How should we deal with them?"
Gao Jin said: "Keep it, it will be useful tomorrow. Let people watch it tonight. The soldiers have a rest overnight and capture the camp tomorrow."
Yu Jin nodded, asked no other questions, and turned around to give orders. In normal times, he would have asked about other matters, but now, he no longer asked. After three consecutive battles, Yu Jin had completely trusted this general. He
Just do what he says.
Gao Jin sat cross-legged on the ground without being disturbed, and silently began to exercise his inner energy, slowly dissipating the fatigue of his body and mind.
