The two rows of shield hands held half a man's height shield and arched forward. Although they were afraid, the supervisory team behind the military formation had already pushed up, and they were dead if they retreated. And if they died, they had no pensions. It would be better to press forward. As long as they didn't die, they would make a profit.

Behind the two rows of shield players were archers who had already lined up to the front. Zhang Qian kept shouting loudly, directing the soldiers to maintain their formation. The Great Sui Dynasty's palace soldiers had created many feats of using infantry to defeat cavalry. In the study and practice of infantry tactics, the Great Sui Dynasty government soldiers had reached the extreme.

In the constant war with the grassland people, the government soldiers and infantry had a complete set of tactics against the grassland cavalry, which was effective. Zhang Qian was a scholar and highly praised the government soldiers' tactics, so he trained his men and carried out according to the training method of the government soldiers.

So he was confident that he would push the light cavalry from Yanyun Village back with his shield and archers.

Although the spearman's large-scale deaths caused him to lose the opportunity to win, he felt that he could at least save the situation. Even if he could not win, he could guarantee that there would be no more casualties. The spearman was killed and injured by the cavalry of Yanyun Village because Zhang Qian lacked the experience of fighting with the light cavalry, especially because he had never fought with the Turkic wolf cavalry, so he suffered a loss from the beginning, which was improved based on the wolf cavalry tactics of Shan Li Xian.

The biggest feature of the Turkic Wolf Cavalry tactics is speed.

They swept like the wind, relying on their absolute speed advantage, and their skillful riding skills and shooting skills to cause huge damage to the enemy. Like a wolves chewing wildly, biting a large piece of flesh and blood can be bitten off in every bite.

Li Xian had a special liking for commanding light cavalry combat, so he attached great importance to changes in cavalry tactics. He lived on the grassland for quite some time and had studied the combat methods of Turkic wolf cavalry. After careful thinking, he took the essence and removed the dross, which led to the proud record of Yanyun's cavalry's invincible battle.

However, the tactics of the Turkic wolf cavalry have extremely high requirements for the quality of cavalry. The Turks have climbed on horseback since childhood. Children aged five or six can ride horses and teenagers can shoot running hares. Their control of war horses has reached a point that is almost as relaxed as an arm and finger. Most of the cavalry in the Central Plains only start training after joining the army, and the starting point itself is much lower.

The requirement to make the Central Plains cavalry reach the level of skill and exquisite control of war horses like the wolf cavalry. Fortunately, the Yanyun Jingqi under Li Xian was once one of the most elite group of the Sui Dynasty soldiers. Later, the soldiers who were added to the incoming soldiers had been trained with these soldiers for more than two years.

Therefore, Li Xian was able to command the cavalry - using the improved wolf cavalry tactics.

It was the first time Zhang Qian encountered this kind of tangled style of fighting, and he was very uncomfortable at the beginning.

The loss of a large number of spearmen made Zhang Qian feel distressed and upset, but the irreversible things were meaningless.

The archers began to shoot arrows neatly, and the Yanyun Army elite cavalry running horizontally were shot overturned. Although most of the cavalry threw the feather arrows behind them, the distance was too close and the feather arrows were too dense. After a rain of arrows, hundreds of cavalry were shot overturned.

Li Xian did not expect that there were other generals in Wagang Village who were so outstanding. After discovering that the troops in Wagang Village changed into formation, Li Xian immediately responded.

If it were an ordinary person, the first thing he thought of would be to quickly pull a long distance and withdraw the range of the feather arrow, but Li Xian did not do so.

No one could see that Li Xian's face, covered by his face, had a bit of heavy expression.

He pointed the black knife forward and rushed towards the rain of arrows!

In fact, this principle is very simple. The range of the withdrawal of the feather arrow is to run along the feather arrow. The feather arrow chases from behind, and the loss will inevitably be great when retreating. When facing the feather arrow, the archer has no chance to shoot the second arrow at this distance!

The loss of hundreds of cavalry made the murderous aura appear in Li Xian's heart stronger.

He stared at the Wagang Army archers behind the shield player, and his murderous intent flowed in his eyes.

...

...

Knowing the owner's intentions, the big dark horse seemed to become even more excited. It raised its head and chirped twice, then jumped up suddenly, and jumped over the heads of the two rows of shield players and stepped directly into the archers' array!

The cavalry of Yanyun Village turned again, turning horizontally into a military formation that rushed towards Wagang Village. The cavalry was like a winding roaring black dragon, crashing into the square formation of Wagang Army.

Feather arrows flew towards us, and the cavalry in the front were shot down one after another by feather arrows. Some cavalry fell off their bodies after being caught in the arrows, but their feet were still hanging in stirrups. The war horse dragged the master's body and rushed forward. The soldiers' heads kept colliding on the ground, their helmets were knocked down, and their heads rubbed against the ground. Not long after, their scalp was worn off, and their flesh and blood were worn off, and the skulls and gravel on the ground were colliding.

But the distance was too close. Although Zhang Qian's command recovered some disadvantages at the first time, he still did not follow the direction he expected. The light cavalry of Yanyun Village was not forced to retreat, but instead bumped into it.

Although many cavalry were shot over, the archers had no time to shoot another arrow. The front team's war horse stepped hard on the array of shield hands of the Wagang Army. The war horses broke the thin city wall composed of shields, cut it in like a knife, and then tore the bloody hole open.

A gap was opened by the shield formation, and the soldiers who had been knocked away were stabbed to death by the elite cavalry of Yanyun Village with a horse spear before they could stand up. In the horse spear like a steel jungle, a black knife attracted special attention.

Li Xian took his horse over the two rows of shield players, and before landing, he cut off the head of a shield player with one knife. While the thick blood from the broken neck was spewed out, Li Xian had already cut the archers in front of him with another knife. The personal soldiers behind quickly rushed up to protect both sides of Li Xian and blocked the archers' counterattack before they died with their shields.

Li Xian took off the arm of a Wagang soldier with one knife and then cut off half of the other person's head. As soon as the black knife was retracted, a Wagang soldier held the shield and rushed into the big dark horse. He actually tried to use his body to knock the big dark horse away, but it was obvious that luck was not on his side.

How could Li Xian, who had long regarded fighting as a common occurrence, give a minion a chance to succeed?

He raised his right arm suddenly and roared at the shield hand.

"open!"

This roar was the murderous intent in his heart. It was like a thunder blew in the clear sky, which made the shield player pause.

With a bang, the black knife slashed hard on the shield, and the huge force passed to the shield. The two hands of the Wagang soldier were immediately shocked and shrunk back. The black knife slashed on the shield, directly splitting the infantry shield wrapped in a thick layer of cowhide. With a click, the half-person-high shield was divided into two, and the soldier holding the shield was also knocked back four or five steps backwards by the huge force on the blade.

The soldier was panicked and his face was pale. He subconsciously looked at his hands. The tiger's mouth had been shattered and blood could not stop flowing out. But this was not what made him afraid of his face twisted, but what made him scream in fear was the injury on his chest.

When he lowered his head, he found that the armor on his chest had been cut into a straight hole, and there was an equally straight red line on the exposed skin. As he stepped back, the red line suddenly cracked.

A huge wound appeared, and the bloody cut from the lower abdomen to the shoulder blade, just as if his upper body suddenly opened a big mouth, his lips were red and miserable.

Then he spit out a bright red tongue from his ferocious bloody mouth, but the tongue fell to the ground and could not shrink back. Looking carefully, there was no tongue, it was clearly a large cluster of bloody intestines and internal organs, and the smell of fishy smell spread out.

The cavalry crashed into the array of Wagang Army, like a large stone thrown into the calm lake, immediately splashing tumbling water, and the lake surface was also broken.

Countless horse spears were poked out, and one of the archers with extremely low defense was killed. The archers fought with cavalry, and there was no way to resist? The sharp horse spears pierced through their hearts, throats, and heads. The archers of the Wagang Army fell down wailingly, while more people retreated in panic.

"Retreat!"

Zhang Qian shouted anxiously, his voice hoarsely.

"Can't withdraw!"

At this moment, Li Deren, the general under Li Mi, found Zhang Qian. He looked at the Yanyun Village elite cavalry who had entered the military formation like a devastating battle. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he said calmly: "Minist order, no matter what, your troops cannot retreat. Even if they fight to the last one, they cannot retreat!"

"But my people can no longer stop the cavalry! You must send spearmen up as soon as possible, otherwise the cavalry will rush like this, and I cannot guarantee whether the defeated soldiers will attack the secret duke's central army!"

Zhang Qian roared loudly.

"Don't worry!"

Li Deren curled his lips and said, "Your troops will never attack the central army, nor will there be any defeated soldiers fleeing back. I am ordered to supervise the battle. Your people must not retreat, otherwise... they will be killed without mercy."

Zhang Qian's face changed drastically, and he understood Li Mi's meaning in an instant.

...

...

Li Xian and the cavalry were flying in the crowd of archers in the Wagang Army. Zhang Qian's camp was completely in chaos. The defeated soldiers rushed back like crazy, but were shot by the archers under Li Deren and blocked the retreat. Zhang Qian looked at the soldiers under his hands with a gloomy face as they were blocked from the front and back and forth, and his mouth twitched but said nothing.

"General Zhang!"

Li Deren glanced at Zhang Qian and sighed, "This is the military order of Duke Mi. I can't help myself. I hope you don't blame me, don't care too much. Even if your subordinates are fighting, Duke Mi will supply you. As long as you are still alive, why worry about not making a comeback? We are all under Duke Mi, and everything is for Duke Mi. We have to make efforts, right? Besides, the five thousand people under your command are recruits, and there is nothing to worry about. If you can really kill Li Xian in a battle today, what can it be considered to be a death of 5,000 people?"

He kept persuading, but he didn't see Zhang Qian's face getting ugly.

Seeing that Zhang Qian was not speaking, Li Deren thought he was being moved by him: "Actually, Duke Secret was forced to do so. Unexpectedly, Li Xian broke up without knowing his death..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhang Qian suddenly pulled out the horizontal knife with a sound.

"kill!"

Zhang Qian shouted the word "kill" with red eyes, and then urged his horse to rush forward. More than a hundred personal soldiers around him looked at each other, then drew their swords forward at the same time, followed closely behind Zhang Qian, and everyone's eyes were red.

"Born together!"

Zhang Qian roared hoarsely, then urged the horse to rush straight towards the murderous devil who rode a big dark horse in front of the Yanyun Village Jingqi.

"Death together!"

His personal soldiers shouted in unison with a solemn face.

Li Deren looked at Zhang Qian's back in surprise, then sneered coldly: "Idiot..."

In this battle, the first leader of Wagang Village who died under Li Xian's knife was named Zhang Qian. He buried his men and horses with him without regrets. He was just a scholar, a scholar who was in a down-and-out position...
