Volume 1 Jiangdong Fengyun Chapter 52: Fubin Enters
"The enemy army is cunning and has set up ambushes in battle formations. The enemy army is defeated and has thrown away their weapons and armor..." The Qu'a army began to shout slogans under the leadership of the officers, which was a provocation and a blow to the enemy's morale.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the 6,000 ambush troops led by Liang Gang and the 1,000 Huainan cavalry led by Li Feng also started to move out without caring about their reputation.
Just from the perspective of distance, if they want to join the battlefield, they still need to work harder...
After all, they were originally some distance away from the fighting battlefield, otherwise no one would feel at ease to start a war - just like when fighting between generals, it is impossible to accept the opponent's colleagues wandering around nearby, even if the opponent swore to heaven that he would not interfere.
Li Feng's cavalry arrived first, and as soon as they arrived, they smashed a team of Qu'a spearmen. After all, there were less than two hundred spearmen in a formation , but Li Feng had a thousand of them. Moreover, Li Feng had not been affected by the effect of "pinching the horns" before, so his cognition was relatively clear at this time.
Although the spear forest can restrain the cavalry to a certain extent, it is after all a branch of the army mainly composed of light infantry. If the number ratio is reversed, it can be blocked.
However, even though they were scattered for a while, the speed of the thousand cavalry's charge had been slowed down.
When facing cavalry, all the Qu'a spearmen would raise their spears. Even if they were cavalry, they were only light cavalry with thin leather armor, and many of them would be "pierced" to death in one collision.
The team that came up next was led by Ding Feng...
Ding Feng took the lead and stood in the middle of the first row, also holding a shield and a short weapon, looking like he was going to defend the formation by setting an example.
Li Feng was also helpless. After only a short attack, the cavalry team's speed dropped so much...
However, seeing that the second team was coming up and blocking their route to enter the battlefield, Li Feng had no choice.
"Charge! Smash them!" Li Feng ordered.
More than a dozen officers from various units in the army received Li Feng's signal to charge.
For a moment, Zhang Xun performed "exceptional" and ignored the casualties. He commanded the remaining infantrymen around him to force a battle with the Qu'a spearmen, delaying the effective time of Chen Gong's "several formations" order.
Originally, they wanted the three arrays to unite to block these cavalry, but in the end, only Ding Feng's array arrived at the expected time!
"Chengyuan, be careful! Don't fight him with your strength!" Chen Gong directly communicated with Ding Feng. Chengyuan is Ding Feng's pen name.
He had used Mingce on Ding Feng before, so he could contact him directly and conveniently, and Ding Feng could also see the current situation from Chen Gong's perspective.
"There are only orders in the army, but no caution. Since the military advisor has given the order, we must... never retreat even if we die!" Ding Feng said, and smashed the big shield in his hand hard on the ground. A small hole was directly smashed in the bottom of the shield, and he was embedded in it.
At the same time, the morale of the spearmen led by Ding Feng was greatly boosted because of his leadership, and they were even determined to fight to the death!
It is difficult for normal recruits to be motivated to this level, but this is not absolute - for example, Han Xin inspired the fighting spirit of 30,000 old and weak soldiers during the "Fight of One Foot".
Of course, Han Xin's level of military command is unmatched by ordinary generals, but there is a more common way to inspire soldiers' fighting spirit - leading by example!
Li Feng led the cavalry and charged towards Ding Feng's spearmen, ready to smash them. Facing the first row of half-kneeling shield soldiers holding their shields, Li Feng directly ordered: "Jump on the horses!"
As they got closer, some of the cavalrymen in front of them lowered their hips, and their war horses, which were like hoverbikes, leaped up a bit...
It was like hitting a rock, with the entire group crashing into the first row. The cavalry behind could not fully exert their impact force, so at this time they should command the cavalry in the front to leap up - although Li Feng's cavalry command ability was only so-so, and Yuan Shu's cavalry could only barely jump a short distance, but Li Feng still made the necessary movements.
Li Feng also understood that in every collision, even if his cavalry team could win, they would still suffer losses.
This warhorse looks like high-tech, but its defense is still at the level of a "warhorse" and it can also be pierced and chopped!
Although he was not at the front, he was still in the front position.
The armor's engine spewed out a burst of air, causing it to temporarily leap up as well. Even though it was somewhat restricted in the military formation, it was no shorter than a warhorse's leap.
Even this array of Qu'a spearmen were able to form a dense formation in the end and killed and wounded many cavalrymen again... The casualty ratio made Li Feng unwilling to admit that this was cavalry attacking light infantry.
What’s even more fatal is that it further weakened the momentum of the cavalry team of 1,000 men. For the cavalry, speed is the weapon and it is life!
But... at least breaking through this array is not a problem. When Li Feng jumped up, he had already seen the opponent in front of him. There were signs that the array would be broken, and he felt relieved.
However, at this moment, Li Feng's waist and abdomen sank, and he was stopped in his tracks - Ding Feng actually jumped up and hugged the guy whose armor was obviously different!
Ding Feng, who was only wearing ordinary wooden and stone armor, had blood on his forehead covering half of his face due to the previous cavalry charge. However, the wound and blood instead stimulated the fighting spirit of the young general Ding Feng.
"You guy..." Li Feng felt a little embarrassed and angry after seeing clearly that he was actually held back by a young general.
The long spear that was originally raised was thrust downwards, and the butt of the spear hit Ding Feng's left shoulder who was hugging him.
Ding Feng's wooden and stone armor had limited defense, and there was also a small counterweight hammer at the tail of his spear. The armor on his right shoulder was immediately shattered, and blood could be seen on the tail hammer!
However, Li Feng only felt his waist being held tight, and after it loosened slightly, he was held tighter again...
At the same time, he discovered that the young general who looked up at him, although his face was covered in blood, his sharp eyebrows and round eyes were full of beast-like fighting spirit!
"You..." Li Feng panicked.
Then Li Feng felt his body lighten, and was thrown to the ground by Ding Feng with a knock - his face hitting the ground.
Even though he was wearing gilded armor, Li Feng was a little dazed after being hit. Although he still followed his instinct and rolled over to avoid Ding Feng's short blade, he had just stood up when Ding Feng pounced on him!
Li Feng's spear is indeed "an inch longer and an inch stronger", but Ding Feng's short weapon is "an inch shorter and an inch more dangerous". At this time, when they rushed forward, Ding Feng's short weapon had more advantages.
Because he is still young and his military talisman was only awakened a month ago, Ding Feng only has a wooden and stone military talisman. If Li Feng and Ding Feng both took off their armor, I'm afraid Ding Feng would be stronger.
At this time, Ding Feng's weapon was just a heavy shield short sword like the shield infantry. It was just because it was equipped on armor, so it looked better than the weapons of ordinary soldiers. And there was no famous horse engine...
Ding Feng threw away his shield and, relying on his courage, dragged Li Feng into close combat!
On the other side, the 6,000 ambush troops led by Liang Gang gradually joined the battlefield. However, what greeted him were the defeated soldiers of his own side. Driven away intentionally by the Bingzhou Wolf Riders, a large number of the defeated soldiers rushed towards Liang Gang's goose-shaped formation...
"Everyone calm down! Go around the formation. Whoever charges into the formation will die, whoever charges into the formation will die!" With Liang Gang's ability, let alone pacifying these defeated soldiers, reorganizing them into the formation and joining the battlefield, he was even disrupted by the defeated soldiers of his own side.
At this moment, the wolf riders behind also rushed over...
