Chapter 420: Pine Forest Town (7)
Chapter 420 Songlin Town (Seventh)
The light cavalry was like the wind, passing by the array of the front army of Zhang Qian, and crossbow arrows shot into the front rows of guns like locusts. The crossbow arrows were too dense, and the spearmen with almost no defense ability were bitten down layer by layer. Soon, the front of the camp of the Wagang Army was filled with corpses.
Li Xian's light cavalry turned rapidly, and the dust smoke from thousands of war horses swayed out, and rushed into the Wawagang Army's army like a sandstorm. The spearmen in the front row could not see the flying crossbow arrows in the thick dust smoke. In fact, even if they saw the crossbow arrows, they would definitely not be able to avoid it. The crossbow that could fire twelve crossbow arrows shot continuously at this distance, which was basically invincible.
The shield player behind the Wagang Army wanted to rush over to resist the combo of crossbow arrows, but after the rows of spearmen in the front were gradually shot over by the crossbow, the soldiers behind also began to suffer a blow. The shield player had to squat down and completely blocked himself with a half-man-high shield.
The crossbow arrow shot on the shield wrapped in a layer of cowhide, and the sound was a bit dull, but the aggressive sound seemed to hit people's hearts directly. The timid person was so scared that he peed his pants.
It is not embarrassing to scare your pants on the battlefield, and no one will laugh at someone who pee your pants.
The soldiers hiding behind the shield saved their lives, but had no time to take into account that their robes were still covered by crossbow arrows. Someone rushed forward and tried to pull the injured companion up from the ground and dragged them back into the army, but were scolded by the team beside him.
"Keep the formation! No one can move around!"
The team was shouting loudly: "The people in front are dead, and they are dead in the past. Keep the formation and block the crossbow arrows of Yan Yun's army! Save people, there is no need to save people! If you leave alone, there will be a gap in the shield formation!"
He pulled out a horizontal knife and hit the shield, making a sound to boost the morale of his soldiers.
"Don't be afraid!"
He glanced at the fifty shield players under his command, raised his jaw and said loudly: "There are only a few thousand cavalry in the Yanyun Army, and they dare not rush in. We have a hundred thousand army! One hundred thousand! Even if one spits one mouthful, it is enough to drown the Yanyun Army's cavalry. If you are timid, the enemy will be more aggressive! If you are brave, the enemy will be afraid!"
He remembered that this was how the military advisor Xu Shiji was there. This team had never read any books. He was the son of a woodcutter, but he had a very good memory. Now he can retell the original text of what Xu Shiji shouted when he was encouraging morale.
"All people are the same people, there is no difference. You are afraid of the enemy, and the enemy is also afraid of you. It depends on who has greater courage and who is the winner of the battlefield. If you move forward, the enemy will retreat, and if you move back, the enemy will advance in great strides! You may not think about winning for the Wagang Village, but you must win for the sake of your own survival!
But later, the military advisor left Wagang Village, and he didn't know what the reason was. Some people said that the military advisor had a rebellious intention and wanted to kill Zhai Dazhuan and Dan Erzhuan. Some people said that the military advisor was greedy for money and was bought by Li Xian, the general of Yanyun Village. He didn't believe this. He didn't think that a general who loved soldiers as much as his son would have a murderous intention towards his brothers. But since Xu Shiji left, the gray-clothed army camp trained by the military advisor himself collapsed.
The Breaking camp turned the tide in several battles, but because the commander was far less than Xu Shiji's ability, he used the sharp sword of the Breaking camp as a stick. Although his military achievements were outstanding, the Breaking camp was almost completely lost in the battles. The remaining soldiers were completely dispersed and separated by the new military advisor Pushan Gong Li Mi of Wagang Village, and integrated into his new recruits, completely dismantling Xu Shiji's remaining influence in Wagang Village.
He was also promoted from a soldier to a squad leader, with fifty soldiers under his command. But he did not feel happy because of this. The unyielding love between his brothers was no longer visible in the current Wagang Village.
Li Mi's command ability is not better than Xu Shiji, but he knows that when Xu Shiji is here, he will never ignore the life and death of the soldiers. While Xu Shiji leads his army to win, he also needs to ensure that the soldiers will not die on the battlefield to the greatest extent. But Li Mi is different. He is also eager for victory like Xu Shiji, but his means of victory are piled up with endless soldiers' sacrifices.
"Get up! Raise the shield!"
Just as he recalled the past, he heard that he would survive and win!

"Get up! Raise the shield!"
Just as he recalled the past, he heard the order issued by General Zhang Qian.
The teams who had experienced several major wars knew what to do next. Compared with other rebel leaders who came to surrender to Wagang Village on the Green Forest Road, General Zhang Qian knew better how to fight. This person was not the kind of man who rushed forward with more troops and rushing forward with more people, but a rare soldier who cared about the art of war.
After hearing the military order, the team immediately shouted loudly: "Get up, stand up! Hold up your shield and press forward to block the crossbow arrows for the archers. The archers must lean forward and force the cavalry of Yanyun's army back!"
Not many of the recruits immediately executed the order, and most of them were squatting on the ground and hiding behind the shield, trembling. Only a few people stood up tremblingly, but when they saw that their companions did not move, they hesitated and retreated.
"Get out of here!"
The team was holding a new recruit's butt and cursing loudly: "You bunch of trash! You timids will only kill you on the battlefield! Those who disobey military orders will kill you!"
He ran back and forth behind the soldiers under his command, kicking the soldiers hiding behind the shield one by one. At this moment, the supervisory team behind him had already come up and started killing people. Under threat, the shield player had to stand up and hold his shield and press forward, blocking the feather arrows shot for the archers behind him.
"Arrowman!"
Zhang Qian shouted loudly: "Snack the shot! Shoot the arrow!"
...
...
I have to say that although Zhang Qian was caught off guard by Li Xian's light cavalry tactics, this person's ability to adapt is still impressive. He quickly thought of dealing with this light cavalry raid tactic.
