Chapter 128: "·Step Riding Showdown"


To be free, you can be happy; to be brave, you can be free.
-Thucydides (ancient Greek historian, philosopher and general, known as the father of "historical science")
Just when the Aisini tribe officially launched its third full-strength offensive, about eight miles north of the battlefield here, the 10,000 elite cavalry of the Aisini tribe and the First Army and Cheetah Army under the Li Xini The pikemen met.
In fact, immediately after Li Xini led the army, he immediately dispatched his team of Parthian bow cavalry, and let this team of Parthian bow cavalry rush to the location of the enemy cavalry, on the way of the enemy cavalry. Stop and harass them along the way.
The Parthian cavalrymen carried out the orders Li Sini gave them perfectly. When they desperately arrived fifteen miles north of the barracks, the cavalry forces of the Aisini tribe had just begun to land, and they landed in chaos. The army gave them a chance to enter.
So they seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack on the large enemy cavalry units that were landing. The kitia tactics of the Parthian bow cavalry were still as effective as ever, and the unexpectedly Essini tribe cavalry paid a heavy price for this. .
At least hundreds of war horses were landing, and were frightened into the Cangluo River when they were hit by arrow rain. The random running of these horses also caused serious casualties to the cavalrymen on the side. Many cavalrymen even reacted. He was trampled by his own horse and died.
The Essini tribe cavalry, which was once in chaos, still resisted the arrow rain attack of the Parthian bow cavalry with their superb riding, and then the reorganized thousands of landing cavalry began to wander near the river bank. The Parthian cavalry launched a chase.
Parthian bow cavalry who are proficient in bow cavalry tactics cannot naturally stay on the spot and confront the enemy's elite cavalry, but under the desperate pursuit of the enemy, they have begun a faster mobile guerrilla tactic.
After nearly half an hour of you chasing me, the Essini tribe cavalry chasing the Parthian cavalry paid nearly three hundred cavalry, but they did not even touch the shadow of the Parthian cavalry.
However, their efforts were not nothing. At least their follow-up cavalry troops also landed ashore in this half an hour; as a rallying trumpet sounded, the cavalry of the Aisini tribe gave up to the Pa The Tia bow cavalry chased, turned the horse's head directly back to the river bank, and then the cavalry of the Essini tribe began to rush toward the southern horse.
Seeing that the enemy cavalry wanted to rush to the battlefield as soon as possible, the Centurion of the Parthian cavalry ordered the three cavalry under his command to immediately report to General Li Xini’s army, and he himself led the remaining cavalry. They continued to harass the enemy’s large forces.
Perhaps the cavalry leader of the Aisini tribe also noticed the intention of the Parthian bow cavalry, so he simply ignored the harassment of the Parthian bow cavalry, and just led his cavalry to go south quickly. .
Relying only on more than one hundred Parthian bow cavalry, how could it really be effective to block the tens of thousands of elite cavalry who sent the Essini tribe to the south, Li Xini soon got the enemy cavalry about to reach the position of his army intelligence.
Now that the Parthian cavalry can no longer stop the enemy cavalry from going south, the only force that can bear to block the enemy cavalry is the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command. The soldiers immediately arrayed on the spot.
The four thousand cheetah corps spearmen were deployed in the most central position by Li Xini. The eight hundred spearmen lined up to form the first battle line, followed by four battle lines that were equally strict. This is Li Sine meets the main force of the enemy cavalry.
The two wings of the four thousand spearmen are flanking forces composed of twelve Roman youths. Each wing has six Roman youths that form a shield wall. They are the real fights under Li Sini Main force.
The last four thousand soldiers of the First Corps were all placed behind the Pikemen’s formation by Li Xini. If the pikemen could not stop the enemy cavalry’s charge, the four thousand First Corps soldiers would immediately rush forward To charge the enemy's cavalry charge.
As for Li Xini himself, this time he did not lead his general guard to stand at the forefront of the soldiers, but sat behind the four thousand soldiers and commanded the various phalanx soldiers to fight. This is also necessary for him as a commander. Things to do.
When the elite cavalry of the Essini tribe began to approach, Li Xini had just seen the smoke rolled up in the distance, and then he felt the slight movement of the earth, and the march of the large cavalry was really huge. Li Xini also had to recognize the strength of the enemy.
Even so, Li Xini is full of confidence in his soldiers. After all, Li Xini has dealt with the enemy's cavalry troops when he was fighting in another Roman world march, not to mention that he himself was once a Cavalry general.
The cavalry of the Essini tribe is getting closer and closer, and the smoke and dust they bring is also covering the sky, and its movement is resounding in the sky, and even Li Xini can feel the earth shaking; soon, Li Xini's eyes A green sea appeared, and that was the cavalry of the enemy!
"Stabilize the formation, don't move! The enemy cavalry is not terrible, as long as we can resist their first charge, they will become our lambs to be slaughtered! Remember what the Governor said, we are heroes alive. , A dead martyr!"
Whether they are the 4,000 spearmen of the Cheetah Legion or the four thousand soldiers of the First Legion, they have never experienced a battle against large-scale cavalry. When facing the enemy's tens of thousands of cavalry, they will inevitably start to panic. Endless commotion.
After realizing the commotion of his own soldiers, Li Xini immediately drove to the forefront of the army and loudly inspired the soldiers under his command to try to keep them in formation; otherwise the formation of the enemy would be charged once the formation was broken Completely defeat your own battle.
Encouraged by Li Xini, the tumultuous battle array returned to stability at any time. At this time, the cavalry of the enemy was only 500 meters away from the lance array of Li Xini. The soldiers on both sides even You can look at your opponent's appearance!
"Slay! Slay! Slay!..."
The distance of 500 meters for the cavalry who fully charged, it was just a matter of moments. Li Xini had just drove his horse back to the rear, and tens of thousands of cavalry of the Aisini tribe rushed into his long spearmen. Among the phalanx.
The cavalry of the Essini tribe shouted into the phalanx of the pikemen with a slogan of charge. The cavalry rushing to the front was directly stabbed to death by the pikes of the pikemen, but the cavalry behind them still Yiwu returned to continue to charge forward.
