Chapter 708

When the demoralized soldiers were agitated, the number of soldiers in the army suddenly increased. It turned out that many of them were timid, their eyes were firm, and the line between them was even more strict.

Only at this time, the cavalry of the flying bear army had reached more than ten steps ago.

With a burst of roar, followed by a huge crash, one after another burst out.

Then, standing on the cart, Su Zhi saw the heavy cavalry like an iron tower, and directly ran into his own army.

"Boom..."

In the line of sight, the soldiers of sword and shield around the array, like flying zither with broken lines, flew directly. The long gun stretched out of the shield wall was bent into a bow because of the huge impact. Then, the barrel of the gun jumped straight, and the armed soldiers were shot out. However, the hindered cavalry, though sluggish, ran into the second row of shields.

"Bang..."

The second row of shields in the collision of Juli, although the soldiers did not fly, but also spit blood and died. At this time, the surrounding Gunners also responded, stabbing with guns together, trying to kill the horses and knights.

At this time, the horses and the knights on the horse were dizzy because of the impact of two generals in succession, and there was no time to avoid the spears.

"Puchi..."

There was a sound of spear piercing into the body, followed by the roar of horses and the cry of knights. And then there was a crash.

The same situation continued to appear on both sides of the array. Of course, each soldier's combat power was different. In the defense line of the array, in some places, the cavalry was forced to stop only when one layer of shield wall was broken, but in some places, the attack of the cavalry was stopped only after three layers of shield wall were torn.

What made Su Zhi feel relieved was that Dong Zhuo's cavalry's attack was finally blocked, but the cost was also heavy. According to his estimation, before the formation of 20000 soldiers, there were less than 7000 shield soldiers. Only one round of attack by Dong Zhuo's cavalry cost him 2000. In addition, the loss of long spearmen also reached more than one thousand.

Looking at the loss of the other side, it is estimated that the loss of the flying bear army will be only three or five hundred, while the loss of the Xiliang cavalry may be a little more. The combined loss of the two is less than a thousand people. Fortunately, it was blocked in the end. If it wasn't blocked, all the 20000 troops would be here today.

However, the first round was blocked, but what happened next? The first round can be blocked, which has consumed most of the soldiers' energy and spirit. In addition, it's almost noon now, and the sword and shield soldiers have suffered serious losses. Will their own army be able to block the next round of attack?

Fan Chou, who was on the periphery of the military formation, was surprised to see that his all-out attack failed. He did not stop at all. He immediately ordered the cavalry to leave quickly, and then returned to the place more than 300 steps away from the military formation to continue to line up. After a little rest, he rushed to the formation.

Seeing this situation, Su Zhi immediately ordered the injured soldiers to be moved back to the formation, and then arranged the uninjured Dao Dun soldiers on the periphery, while the rest of the injured Dao Dun soldiers were arranged on the second or third floor. At the same time, the formation was folded up to make it closer. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to eat immediately and have a rest, waiting for the second round of the battle.

When Su Zhi ordered the soldiers to rest, hundreds of steps away, Dong Zhuo's cavalry were also doing the rest. The reason was that after leaving Anyi, the cavalry ran for tens of miles, and then tried to defeat the 30000 troops at one stroke when the Sizhou army was not on guard.

Unfortunately, although Su Zhi's army had no cavalry, it used hundreds of Pro guards as a reprimand, which frustrated fan Hou's desire to sneak attack. So we had to use the flying bear army to fight.

Originally, it was easy to break through the infantry with the strength of the Feixiong army. However, to our surprise, the enemy's army blocked the Feixiong army's attack, and our cavalry also lost nearly 1000 cavalry.

As a last resort, fan Hou ordered the army to take a rest and wait for the horses to regain some power before attacking. He believed that the State Army would not be able to support it if it only needed to attack again.

The soldiers who heard the order of rest all jumped down from their horses. Then they took off the kettle from their waist and pulled out the plug. Then they took two sips of the water in the kettle. Then they put the kettle in their horses' mouths and poured most of the water into their horses. Then he took out a handful of bean grain from his cloth bag and held it to the mouth of the horse. While feeding the horses, he carefully combed their manes with his other hand and wiped the sweat off the horses.

A quarter of an hour later, with fan Hou's order, the cavalry soldiers quickly sorted out the equipment of the horses, tied the ropes of the saddle tightly, and then hung their weapons beside the saddle, so that they could take them out at any time. Then, he turned over and got on the horse, gently lifted the reins and walked slowly towards the designated position.

After the formation, in the sound of a long horn, with Feixiong army as the forerunner and Xiliang iron cavalry as the rear army, Dong Zhuo's cavalry once again formed an array and headed straight for the army of Suzhou army.

This time, the cavalry did not attack from two sides, but from three sides. They encircled each other from the southeast and the West. On the north side, they were just facing the suzhibu camp, but they did not arrange the cavalry to attack. This is also a typical strategy of encircling three and lacking one, which just can break down the determination of Sizhou army to fight to death. It's a pity that the state sergeant's death has already aroused the heart of death. How could they be so easily disintegrated.Facing the tide of Dong Zhuo's cavalry, Su Zhi didn't know how long he would be able to stay strong, but he knew he had to stick to it. After the first world war just now, more than 10% of the casualties did not lower the morale of the soldiers. On the contrary, they shared more hatred with the enemy because of the death and injury of Ze Pao.

With an order, the rest of the soldiers stood up one after another, ready to meet the second round of Dong Zhuo's cavalry. A lot of strong long spearmen will go to the front several rows of sword and shield soldiers behind, replace those slightly injured sword and shield soldiers, and support themselves behind the erected shield.

In this way, it is impossible to exchange the soldiers among different arms in the fight. But this kind of array defense is different. It only needs to bear the impact of the cavalry.

And the wounded soldiers who retreated did not return to the formation. Instead, they took the long guns of the long spearmen. Like other spearmen, they inserted the tail of the gun into the ground, and the tip of the gun extended obliquely towards the outside of the formation. Then they held the gun barrel tightly with both hands, waiting for the impact of the cavalry.
