Chapter 700

Although it is not clear what the origin of the sudden team in front of him is, ator smelled a strong smell of conspiracy from the uniform charge of the city defense army in lodu. Tuerhao once sent spies to inquire about the news at all places from Xuanmen pass to Luodao cliff. However, before reaching the bottom of Luodao cliff, he had never heard of so many troops stationed in the northern half of the great Wei Dynasty.

It has to be said that as a nation on the grassland, the fighting quality of the barbarians, a country where women and children are soldiers, is still a lot higher than that of the great Wei Dynasty. Although Chen Zhihu's heavy cavalry took advantage of the first wave of charge, the barbarian troops did not recover from it, but quickly responded. Except for the soldiers who were seriously injured and could not continue to fight in the first wave of charge, the other soldiers retreated back as quickly as possible and broke away from the battle circle, According to the formation of fighting on weekdays, they formed a neat square array.

The light cavalry who beat the barbarian soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables. After the barbarian soldiers formed a square array, they were surprised to find that the combat effectiveness of these soldiers had been greatly improved. Because ator ordered to advance at full speed before, the barbarian troops were thousands of people walking side by side. But now, after the barbarian soldiers changed their formation, only a few hundred people remained in the front to fight with the light cavalry, but the thickness of the formation increased a lot.

Although the heavy cavalry can still do a lot of damage to the barbarian infantry when they rush into the array, it is very likely that they will never return. In this way, after having concerns, the momentum just gathered by the soldiers of Da Wei suddenly dissipated a lot.

However, Yang Xuan had been fighting with the barbarian troops outside Xuanmen pass for a whole year. He was already very familiar with various formations and means of the barbarian. Therefore, this sudden change had already been expected by Yang Xuan, and naturally made corresponding countermeasures.

After the barbarian troops changed, the heavy cavalry troops retreated quickly.

The cavalry of the great Wei Dynasty used standard weapons. Except for soldiers who were good at using swords, most cavalry used long guns. Although it's a long gun, it looks more like an extended iron spear with two ears on both sides. These two wooden ears are used to prevent the cavalry from attacking the infantry. If the enemy soldier is holding a sword, the blade will go up along the barrel of the long gun and cause damage to the cavalry.

With this wooden support, the sword can not be easily pulled out if it is cut on the wooden support. But in addition, the wooden support can be removed manually. After removing the wooden support, the spear became a standard ordinary spear.

In AtTOR's eyes, Da Wei's soldiers suddenly took down the protective wood that was best used in the condescending attack, and suddenly had some doubts. But the next scene made him sweat.

At this time, the cavalry troops had opened the distance between themselves and the barbarians by more than 100 meters. Then, the soldiers in the front row raised their long guns and threw them out into the barbarian array. And looking at their throwing techniques, they do not pursue accuracy, but the furthest distance and the greatest penetration.

For a moment, the long guns in the sky fell like raindrops and flew towards the barbarian array. Although the placement of these long guns was not very accurate, it also happened that a soldier was inserted into two long guns at the same time. Some long guns fell on the ground outside the square array, and the gun body was inserted straight into the ground.

But even so, after a round of gun rain, under the cover of more than 1000 long guns, the barbarian soldiers still paid the price of losing combat effectiveness of nearly 3000 people. But the cavalry did not seem to have the intention of pursuing while winning. After winning the battle, they turned and ran in the other direction.

Although the barbarian soldiers wanted to fight back against the army of Da Wei after being hit, they did not succeed because of the high mobility of the cavalry. When their infantry tried to chase the cavalry, the cavalry had already moved to the side of the square.

Atolton frowned, greeted the commander of the army from Da Wei in his heart, and then bowed his head and thought. It has to be said that Da Wei's strategy is really brilliant. Although the barbarian soldiers have good combat effectiveness, they have been fighting for several days before falling off the knife cliff. Their spirit has been tight for a long time, and it is inevitable that they will make mistakes.

But now he did not dare to order his infantry troops to re integrate the formation, because he knew that after Da Wei's troops succeeded in the attack just now, if he dared to be as bold as just now, these cavalry would not hesitate to launch a second round of gun rain attack on the barbarian troops.

However, the scene has not reached the point of irreparability.

Ator smiled and looked coldly at the soldiers in front of him. Although the barbarian infantry suffered a heavy blow in the battle just now, you know, the barbarians are all from the grassland. Naturally, their most proud troops are not these infantry, but heavy cavalry on horseback.

At the thought of this, ator became more confident. Although the number of heavy cavalry is small, they are all good players with one as ten. Da Wei's army was already outnumbered. As long as you give the heavy cavalry under ator a chance to form a square array and launch an attack, the disadvantage just now can be brought back.

Thinking of this, ator waved to his adjutant and said to him, "send my order and let the Dragon flag find a good position with his heavy cavalry. Next, I will let the infantry play a forward. As long as Da Wei's army dares to fight, it will charge me at full speed."

"Yes."

At this time, the barbarian form was very bad, and the adjutant naturally knew this fact. After hearing ator's order, he hurried out to the rear.

Ator calmly looked at Da Wei's army not far away, and couldn't help worrying.

From Xuanmen pass to Luodao cliff, although the barbarian army seems to have been gaining the upper hand, ator knows that the defenders of Xuanmen pass have actually saved most of their strength in addition to suffering a lot of losses in the first confrontation. Although the 400000 barbarian troops seem to be threatening, under the influence of various factors, they have unconsciously reduced their personnel to only more than 300000
